I, the ninth grade county magistrate, scare the empress to tears at the beginning!

While Jiang Linglong was feeling extremely emotional, the Crown Princess of Yan State, Zhu Feng, or Zhu Bai, who used a pseudonym when working outside, was also extremely emotional at this moment. She came to three realizations from the battle in Youzhou.

First of all, Jiang Linglong's rise has become unstoppable. In less than a year, she regained her power and had the ability to compete with Prime Minister Su Quan.

Not only is she loved by the people, but she also has a large number of elite soldiers and generals headed by Langya Hou and Gu Changfeng. Many of the generals are masters at the grand master level. It shouldn’t take long to overthrow Su Quan and restore the orthodoxy of the Great Zhou Dynasty. The civil strife in the Great Zhou Dynasty is coming to an end.

Secondly, the Nether Sect and Shura Palace are extremely evil. These two major forces also have branches in their Yan country, with hundreds of thousands of followers.

She has ordered people to write letters back overnight and use elite troops to closely monitor various branches of the Nether Sect. Once Jiang Linglong wins, she will order Yan State to start arresting people. No one from Shura Palace or Nether Sect will be spared.

Finally, she suspected that the Mr. Lu whom she had always wanted to poach from the Yan Kingdom was Lu Yuan himself.

It's not her fault that she realized it later, but that Lu Yuan hid it so well before. He spent the whole night with her that day without revealing anything. This time, if Lu Yuan hadn't taken action again, summoning the blue black lotus and awakening everyone who was mentally controlled by the Nether Sect, she would still have been kept in the dark.

Strictly speaking, this time is actually quite dangerous. Including Jiang Linglong, all high-ranking generals suffered from mental control and made many irrational decisions. Fortunately, Lu Yuan came back in time to wake up everyone again and control the situation.

She then thought about how she had tried so hard to lure Lu Yuan to go to the Yan Kingdom to serve as the Great Protector of the Country. No wonder Lu Yuan refused that night without even blinking. Having reached such a height and realm, he has already lost interest in worldly power.

"Report! Your Majesty, important military information!"

"What military information?" Before setting off for the expedition, Jiang Linglong received another battle report. Before the war, information was sent suddenly, which was definitely not good news. But Lu Yuan has come back, and she feels extremely calm. This is the sense of security and confidence that Lu Yuan brings.

"A large number of enemy troops suddenly appeared on the Youzhou border, numbering as many as half a million!"

"Five hundred thousand? Are you sure?" Jiang Linglong took a breath. What is the concept of half a million troops? It is equivalent to saying that Su Quan sent all the soldiers and horses that defended the imperial capital and several nearby states to the Youzhou battlefield.

What secret is hidden in Youzhou that Su Quan pays so much attention to? Half a million soldiers and horses were mobilized, and Youzhou City was already an empty city. It only needed to send 10,000 soldiers and horses to recover it. However, she couldn't care about Youzhou at the moment, and her top priority was to think about how to deal with the 500,000 reinforcements.

"It's absolutely true, Your Majesty. In addition to Su Quan's 500,000 troops, Yue and Chu each sent 200,000 troops to invade our territory of Great Zhou and are marching towards Youzhou!" "Yue and Chu are really How brave!" Jiang Linglong was extremely angry. When her father was still alive, the emperor of Chu State would send envoys to visit Dazhou every year to show that both sides were good neighbors, friendly and peaceful coexistence, and even more willing to surrender.

Not to mention the Yue Kingdom, her third emperor sister Jiang Qingli was sent to the Yue Kingdom by the late emperor out of necessity to make peace with her. In fact, it was a pacification strategy adopted by the Zhou Dynasty due to the strong national power of Yue.

In order to destroy the peace between the Zhou Dynasty and the Yue Kingdom and cause war between the two countries, Su Quan sent an assassin to assassinate Qing Li. Fortunately, he was rescued by Lu Yuan on the way. Later, the father chose another nobleman's daughter to pretend to be the third emperor's sister Qingli and went to the country of Yue to get married, thus avoiding war between the two countries.

The Great Zhou Dynasty had done all it could to the Yue Kingdom. They were short of food, salt, steel, and Dazhou gave him grain, grass, salt, and iron ore every year. They were short of war horses and livestock, so Dazhou would send a large number of livestock. They wanted to marry Dazhou's princess Jiang Qingli, and they agreed to this. requirements. But even so, they still couldn't satisfy their appetite. How could this make Jiang Linglong not feel angry?

Today, Chu and Yue are pressing down on their territory with 400,000 troops, which is equivalent to invading the territory of Zhou Dynasty and formally declaring war on Zhou Dynasty. The two countries chose to take action today. Jiang Linglong did not need to wait for the information from Gu Changfeng's Skynet, but thought of the only possibility: Yue and Chu had joined forces with Su Quan!

In other words, in order to deal with her, Su Quan led the wolf into the house and became a traitor. Chu and Yue had coveted the territory of the Zhou Dynasty for a long time. They could send heavy troops to the two countries. Su Quan must have signed an agreement to cede territory and pay compensation behind his back.

"Your Majesty, let me deal with them." Marquis Langya volunteered. She has been guarding the border all year round and is already familiar with the soldiers and horses of the country. "There are 50,000 Langya troops stationed at the border, which is enough to deal with them!"

"Fifty thousand? Don't you report only five thousand soldiers and horses every year?" Jiang Linglong said in surprise.

"Five thousand is just an imaginary number. In fact, the total number of Langya Army has increased tenfold. In recent years, I have also limited the speed of recruiting troops, otherwise the number would have exceeded 100,000." Langya Hou explained : "But raising so many soldiers and horses, food is a big problem. I ordered them to cultivate land and grow food and vegetables while stationed at the border. They managed to be self-sufficient without causing trouble to the court."

"Great, I feel relieved now." Jiang Linglong immediately prepared to let Marquis Langya fight against the armies of Chu and Yue, but Gu Changfeng had different opinions.

"Division of troops is a taboo." Gu Changfeng analyzed: "Su Quan mobilized a total of 900,000 troops, and General Langyahou's 50,000 troops, no matter how brave and skilled they were, could not hold out for long. Su Quan used all his troops, and he did not hesitate to fight against them. The cooperation of other countries is precisely to relieve the crisis in Youzhou. Today, we will gather all our troops to capture the Shura Palace before reinforcements arrive!"

"But according to the time calculation, there is only one day. In this day, if we cannot capture the Shura Palace, we will be surrounded by 900,000 enemy troops. At that time, the Shura Palace and the 900,000 troops outside will cooperate inside and outside. We You will be very passive." Jiang Linglong was unable to make a decision for a while.

"But it is absolutely impossible to divide the troops. Langya's 50,000-strong army cannot withstand the enemy's 900,000-man army no matter what." After expressing his opinion, Gu Changfeng took the initiative to plead guilty to Lu Yuan: "Young Master, 'Skynet' The organization failed to discover in advance that Su Quan was mobilizing heavy troops, which was my dereliction of duty. If we had known this information in advance, we could have mobilized troops from Cangyun County, but now it is too late." (End of Chapter)
