Chapter 133: Making Friends with Distant Nations and Attacking Nearby, Forming Alliances
Seeing the enemy retreat, the Yan army soldiers on the city wall cheered loudly, and many of them pointed at the Kun army below and laughed and cursed.
Kun Kingdom, as the strongest country in the northern part of the world, is as powerful as Daqian in the southernmost part.
Kun State was like a mountain pressing down on Yan State, blocking all of Yan State's passages to the Central Plains. All trade had to pass through Kun State, and the other party charged high taxes. Even so, if one wanted to earn money on one's knees, one had to look at the face of Kun State.
If Kun State is unwilling, Yan State can only associate with the barbarians on the grasslands in the west.
But they had no choice but to submit. The powerful national strength and military force of Kun State made the weak Yan State breathless.
Except for the Zhennan Army, almost all the soldiers of Yan State were terrified when talking about Kun.
There was no way around it. When Daxia was divided into hundreds of kingdoms, Yan was the last one to be enfeoffed, and the land it was given was the bitter cold land of the northeast, making it difficult to develop.
The advantage is that the Central Plains is competing for supremacy and annexing each other, and no one wants to bother with this remote Yan State.
Today, the army of Yan defeated the arrogant Kun. Even if they only defended the city, for the Yan army who had rarely fought on the battlefield, it was a resounding victory, enough to wash away their fear of Kun.
"We won, we won!"
Gongsun Wan'er was like a happy little deer. She was extremely happy in front of Shen Changgong, with stars in her eyes.
Shen Changgong looked at her in surprise and said,
"We just resisted a tentative attack from Kun's army. What's there to be happy about?
If a hundred thousand men were to defend the city and it were breached on the first day, we could all just commit suicide and stop fighting."
"Tsk, you don't understand, that's Kun Country. The reason why Dayan still exists today is not because we can defeat Kun Country, but because they simply don't bother to pay attention to us. They only send people to make tentative attacks on Zhennan Pass occasionally.
Later, when they found that Zhennan Pass was too difficult to attack, they turned their troops and stationed at Yao Pass.
But this time, we really stopped the attack of Kun’s army.”
Shen Changgong turned around and walked towards the city.
Gongsun Wan'er, Tu Queling and a group of generals followed him down.
“Don’t underestimate your opponent, and don’t belittle yourself. Kun Country is very powerful, Yu Huatian is also very powerful, but we, Dayan, are not given away for nothing.
Now our Great Yan State is stronger than ever before. We are united as one, our military is concentrated, there is no intrigue or internal strife, and we are united in facing the outside world.
We in Dayan are gathering the strength of the entire country, gathering it into a fist and striking hard.
"The enemy's invasion of our borders will only happen this once. From now on, I will make the entire world prostrate under the banner of Great Yan!"
Shen Changgong's words made the blood of the generals behind him boil.
Yes, what are the small Kun Kingdoms? Now that Great Yan has reformed and unified, it is at its most powerful. Their goal is to conquer the entire world, and Kun Kingdom is just their first target.
Gongsun Wan'er looked at Shen Changgong's domineering figure, her eyes almost turning into tears, but when Shen Changgong looked at her, she immediately put on an expression of pride and disdain.
Humph, I can't let him see my expression just now, otherwise he will show off again.
Shen Changgong gave some instructions and asked his men to continue watching outside the city wall, and then returned to the government office to check the intelligence.
"Where is the Southern King now?"
Shen Changgong sat on the chair and asked Gongsun Wan'er beside him.
Gongsun Wan'er said,
"I just received intelligence this morning that the Southern King has already integrated the forces of the vassal kings. This is because the three Western Kings didn't have time to integrate, King Rui was killed, and King Ning rebelled. The Southern King only had time to eliminate ten vassal kings, gathering a total of 120,000 troops.
The enemy is unaware of these forces. The Southern King is currently leading them on a forced march, bypassing the eastern side of the capital and entering Lanling County. Then, from behind the enemy, they will enter Qingping County and attack Yaoguan.
Shen Changgong nodded and said,
"Although you're not a very good person, your professional skills are good, and you do a great job in intelligence work."
"Are you praising me or scolding me?"
"I'm judging you."
"hehe!"
"How long will it take for the Southern King to reach Yaoguan?"
"A forced march would take nearly a month."
"How long will it take for the Tiger Army to reach ** City?"
"Seven days."
"Are there any developments in Kun Country?"
"The Kun Kingdom's imperial court has dispatched another 200,000 central troops north to support Yu Huatian and help him conquer our country. It will probably take another month and a half to reach our Yaoguan Pass."
"One and a half months..."
Before Shen Changgong could think of it, a map of the entire Yan State appeared in his mind. On the map, various armies were moving, arranged in time, and advancing continuously.
The Weihu Army will arrive at ** City first, and by then he will have an army of 200,000. However, it is impossible for an army of 200,000 to completely wipe out the enemy's 300,000 elite troops.
Maybe we can defeat the enemy, but they will retreat. Once the enemy withdraws and enters Yaoguan, with hundreds of thousands of troops defending Yaoguan, it will be difficult for us to attack again.
Therefore, we must surround them and completely cut off their retreat in order to completely annihilate them.
As he thought about it, he hooked his finger at Gongsun Wan'er.
Gongsun Wan'er was startled when she saw this, her pretty face slightly red. She glanced at the guard outside the door who was facing away from the gate, walked over quietly, came to the right side of Shen Changgong, lifted up her skirt, knelt on the ground, and put her upper body on his legs.
The couch at the government office was not high. Gongsun Wan'er lay on Shen Changgong's legs, her buttocks raised high, forming a perfect curve under her white tights.
Shen Changgong placed his left elbow on Gongsun Wan'er's back, supporting his chin, thinking about something in his mind, and his right hand unconsciously patted her round and perky breasts.
Gongsun Wan'er always says one thing but does another. She is always annoying and tough in words, but in fact she just does whatever she is told to do.
"Give orders to your Skynet personnel later. I have two things I need them to do. If necessary, you can send Shadow Guards to help."
"Hmm? What's going on?"
Gongsun Wan'er, lying on his legs, asked while suppressing her inner shame.
"Make friends far away and attack those near, unite and make alliances!"
"The first thing is to send some people, carrying a large amount of gold, silver and jewelry, to the Qi and Liang countries in the south of Kun. The overall national strength of these two countries is not as good as Kun, but when they unite, they are stronger than Kun.
Let our people bribe the officials of both countries and tell them that Kun is now vigorously attacking our country and its domestic forces are depleted. This is a perfect opportunity for a large-scale invasion. It is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity! "
