, we will definitely protect you. Please let us accompany you."An Xuetang frowned, "I'm afraid you'll startle the snake. Just wait here!"After saying that, she walked straight towards the small villag...Hearing Lan Chu Xiao ask this question, Sun Gao Ting, the current Grand General of Lan Guo, who was standing beside him, moved his mouth as if he wanted to say something.
Ke Lan Chu Xiao was like a voice in his head, she glanced at him nonchalantly, Sun Gao Ting pursed his lips and held back.
But discontent did show on his face.
Eleven didn't miss their eye contact. She lowered her head slightly now, pretending she hadn't seen anything.
Eleven, what do you think Should I immediately send people to contact Xuan and Chi countries Or should we wait for me to confirm if Ancheng and Yangcheng have truly sent troops If only Dagu and Xiliang countries send troops, with hundreds of thousands of my army and the Northern Border Army combined, we could repel them.
Eleven pursed her lips, contemplating for a moment. "I'll immediately return to the North Border to confirm whether Ancheng and Yangcheng will send troops. Princess Consort must have taken some action, so should we dispatch someone to contact Xuan Country and Chi Country right away Perhaps Lord Blue could wait for half a day. In half a day, I'll give Lord Blue a definite answer."
Lan Chu Xiao thought for a moment, "Then it's settled, Shi Yi, go quickly and return swiftly."
Eleven bowed, "My subordinate takes his leave."
After saying that, Eleven turned and left.
After seeing Eleven's disappearing figure, Lan Chu Xiao's eyes darkened. He narrowed his eyes slightly, his expression complex and unreadable.
While Sun Goting beside couldn't hold back any longer, he stepped forward to Lan Chu Xiao and bowed, saying:
"Your Majesty, this King of the Northern Border is being too much, isn't he His intention for sending you a letter is so obvious. What do you think, Your Majesty"
Lan Chu Xiao's face was expressionless, and no one knew what he was thinking.
After a moment of silence, he looked up at Sun Gaoting, "If you were the King of Beijang, would you do this"
“...”
Sun Gao Ting fell silent instantly.
Lan Chu Xiao narrowed her eyes, picked up the envelope on the table, and gave a self-deprecating smile. "Actually, you know very well in your heart that King Beijiang's approach is the right one. You dare say you haven't been moved by compassion I wouldn't even dare to say such a thing."
That's three cities, who could say they have no compassion Not to mention the natural conditions of Ancheng and Yangcheng are so suitable for planting crops, let alone Beijiang.
The North Frontier is much better than most places in their Blue Nation. Even if they don't capture An City and Yang City, capturing the North Frontier would be a very good option for them.
Faced with such a huge temptation, he did have a twinge of compassion.
The Emperor of Tianba sent him a letter, offering him benefits and asking him to join the campaign. On the surface, he revealed this matter to Bei Jiang, demonstrating his resolve not to ally with the Emperor of Tianba.
But what exactly does he think Will he take advantage of this opportunity, only he knows.
But unexpectedly, the thought in his heart was actually guessed by Mo Yunjing.
Mo Yunjing did not allow anyone in the Beijiang camp to contact Xuan Guo and Chi Guo directly, insisting that they go through him.
This is just Mo Yunjing's way of reminding him. Mo Yunjing wanted to remind him in this way, to let him understand that besides his Lan Guo, Mo Yunjing also has the Xuan Guo and Chi Guo as allies.
If he didn't contact Xuan and Chi countries in Mo Yunjing's way, then it means he chose to stand against Mo Yunjing.
Then, the Beijang army and the armies of Xuan and Chi countries would be targeting not just Dayue and Xiliang kingdoms and Ancheng Yangcheng.
At that time, they will also add their blue country...
I have to say, Mo Yunjing's last move was truly impressive.
He took everything into account, truly worthy of his reputation as the famed War God, King of the Northern Border.
And Eleven wasn't a fool, he should have guessed Mo Yunjing's intentions, so now he chose to leave, in fact, he was giving Lan Chu Xiao a chance to make a choice.
As the emperor of Lan Country, Lan Chu Xiao couldn't possibly be unaware of the news of An City and Yang City mobilizing troops.
If he truly wants to play dumb, then Shi Yi will know what to do. After returning to Beijang this time, she won't be coming back again.
If he had told someone to stop Eleven promptly, Eleven would have understood that he chose to side with Mo Yunjing.
Lan Chu Xiao remained silent with an impassive face for a moment, then looked up at Sun Gao Ting, "Go bring back number eleven."
Sun Guoting frowned, "Your Majesty, are you truly certain about this"
Sun Gao Ting arched his hands, "Your Majesty, now that the King of Beijiang is controlled in the capital, if we follow An Cheng Yang's 500,000 troops, along with Dayue and Xiliang, and attack Beijiang together, our chances of winning would be huge. This might be the only opportunity for our Lan Nation to capture Beijiang."
Lan Chu Xiao clenched her fists slightly, she knew better than anyone that this was the most vulnerable time for Beijang.
But now the war is not just a matter of the three countries, Tianba, Dayue, and Xiliang. Under Mo Yunjing's arrangement, this war will now involve Xuan and Chi countries as well.
The armies of the Xuan and Chi nations were not weak, most importantly, the Lan nation had not fully recovered after their last defeat.
If the Xuan and Chi nations sent many troops, they would actually have no chance of winning.
He Lan Chu Xiao, having once been a member of the Yun Family Army, understood deeply just how many capable soldiers there were within its ranks.
Therefore, he knew very well that at this time, with the Northern Border Army and the armies of Xuan and Chi countries joining forces, none of the other countries—whether it be Lan, Dàyuè, Xīliáng, or even the 500,000 troops from Ancheng and Yangcheng—had enough strength to conquer the Northern Border.
Moreover, once he chooses to do so, he will also lose Mo Yunjing's trust.
He understands Mo Yunjing well. If he betrays him, once Mo Yunjing has the opportunity to return to Beijang, then their Lan country and Beijang will probably be unable to avoid a life-or-death battle.
Seeing Lan Chu Xiao remained silent, Sun Gaoting pursed his lips and continued, "Your Majesty, this is the only chance for our Blue Nation. Once we capture Beijiang, we won't need to attack neighboring countries for food afterwards. With Beijiang, we can be self-sufficient."
Lan Chu Xiao narrowed his eyes, his deep gaze fixed on Sun Gao Ting. "Sun Aiqing," he said, "you yourself stated that the premise is to conquer Beijiang. So I ask you, what are our chances of success"
"... " Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!
Lan Chu Xiao saw that he couldn't answer for a while, and he smiled and shook his head. "Sun Aiqing, have you ever thought about it If our Lan Kingdom can't take down the Northern Border, if this war turns into a safe situation for the Northern Border this time, do you know what situation we will face next"
"What do you think will happen when the Northern Frontier King returns, after we have betrayed him like this Will he spare our Blue Nation With our current military strength, could we withstand a full-scale attack from his army Have you considered these questions"
Sun Guoting frowned, he was silent for a moment, then looked up:
“Your Majesty, the Northern Border army now sees us as allies. Why don't we feign sending troops to support them When they and the other three factions are severely weakened, our soldiers who have infiltrated the Northern Border army will turn their weapons on them. In this way, how could we possibly be afraid of facing a heavily depleted Northern Border army” them only exchanged a glance, and they didn't need to say anything special. They seemed to understand each other's thoughts.At this time, Yun Yi also had charcoal and ingredients prepared, and invite...
