The country sends a daughter-in-law? Come and take a dozen, take them all

As a result, the double-sided attack suffered by Daqian was resolved.

In this battle, a total of 180,000 enemy troops from the East and the West were repelled by Daqian at the cost of less than a thousand people, which can be said to be a great victory.

Jian Feng, Jian Bai, and Lin Xiaofan all received many rewards, but their positions were already the highest and they couldn't move up any further.

In this battle, Daqian's reputation was once again established.

The previous battles, whether against Daliang, Dashang, or Dayu, were just battles between small countries.

Ningchuan is a country that can be ranked among the best. Although it cannot be called a big country, in terms of national strength, it can still be ranked in the top 20 in the world.

This time, an army of 100,000 and the two best generals in the country were dispatched, but the final outcome was like a joke, with only a commander and dozens of soldiers running back.

In the Ningchuan Kingdom's palace, the sound of things being smashed could be heard one after another.

"Useless, a bunch of useless! The father and son of the Lu family are also useless! My army of 100,000 soldiers were all defeated in Daqian!"

Emperor Ningchuan was furious. In the three years since he ascended the throne, he had never suffered such a great injustice.

That was an army of 100,000, and he had picked the stronger troops. The entire Ningchuan country only had 300,000 troops.

This time it was broken by a full third.

"Send out another 100,000 soldiers to take down Daqian! If we fail to take it down, I will be furious! Yan'an, you take the lead this time!"

Emperor Ningchuan pointed outside the palace and spoke loudly.

"Your Majesty, please think twice."

"Your Majesty, think twice!"

The ministers below immediately knelt down. Before, they didn't really believe how powerful Lin Xiaofan was, but after this battle, they believed it completely.

Although Yan An was also a famous general in China, his strength was not as good as Lu He. If he led another 100,000 troops, they could guess the outcome.

If it fails there, Ningchuan Kingdom might be removed from the list.

"Your Majesty, the country should rest and recuperate at this time. We can launch the attack again after the national strength is restored!"

"Your Majesty, please do not act on impulse!"

"Your Majesty, this battle cannot be fought!"

"Your Majesty, several countries on the border are eyeing us covetously, and we cannot mobilize so many troops from home."

"Your Majesty, the treasury is in urgent need of food, and the remaining grain is no longer enough to support the campaign."

Several ministers made remonstrations one after another. This matter concerns the survival of everyone, and even if their positions are reduced today, they must persuade the emperor to stay.

"enough!"

Emperor Ning Chuan felt a headache and slammed the table, and the scene instantly became quiet.

He was breathing heavily, but gradually calmed down and realized that he could not fight anymore.

"Daqian Kingdom, I will never reconcile with Daqian!"

As he spoke, he suddenly overturned the table to the ground, and several ministers nearby hurriedly dodged.

"What about Lu He? Where did he go?"

Emperor Ningchuan asked.

"Reporting to the king, General Lu has entered the country and is on his way."

A minister replied.

"Tell him not to come, just chop him off."

Emperor Ningchuan waved his hand.

"Your Majesty, think twice!"

The ministers around spoke again.

……

Great commercial capital.

In a carriage, a tall and thin man in expensive brocade clothes was holding a young woman in his arms. He was humming a little tune and stroking his beard from time to time. He seemed to be in a good mood.

This is none other than Yu Cai, the Grand Commandant of the Shang Dynasty.

As for the reason for his good mood, since he tipped off Daqian, allowing Daqian to defend the attack easily, Lin Xiaofan also gave him some rewards.

On top of the original 50,000 taels of kickback, he was given another 50,000 taels of silver.

That was a full 100,000 taels of silver. His Yu family was a big family in Dashang, but throughout the year, all their businesses only earned 50,000 taels of silver.

He just said a few words to the emperor, and by tipping off someone, he easily got 100,000 taels. How could he not be happy?

And today, he was going to the newly opened brothel in the city to spend some money.

"grown ups."

A man dressed as a servant was shouting on the street. The voice sounded familiar to him, so he stuck his head out and saw that it was his servant.

"parking!"

His mood was somewhat ruined, and he frowned. However, thinking that there might be something urgent, he stopped the carriage.

"Sir, the Emperor wants you to go to the palace to discuss matters as soon as possible."

The servant spoke.

Yu Cai stroked his beard and frowned:

"I know, I know. Turn around and go to the palace."

The emperor's summons was nothing more than whether he would be retaliated by Daqian. Lin Xiaofan had anticipated this and had already pointed out a clear path for him.

Let Da Shang send more money and food, and preferably some war horses, and Da Qian will never attack Da Shang.

After the matter is accomplished, Lin Xiaofan will secretly send someone to give him some money. And then he can become a diplomat himself, which can be regarded as a great achievement.

Thinking of this, his mood improved a little. He hummed a little tune and walked all the way to the palace.

The guard only took a look at the carriage and let him go. The Prime Minister, the Imperial Censor, and some high-ranking officials in the court had also entered, but there was silence.

The Great Shang Emperor had a gloomy face, looking like a dark cloud that was about to burst.

Realizing that he was the last one to arrive, Yu Cai walked into the hall and bowed:

"Your Majesty, I am here to see you. I am late and guilty. Please punish me."

As he said this, he was about to get up, but he still didn't hear the voice of the Great Shang Emperor forgiving him.

Yu Cai glanced at the Great Shang Emperor with some confusion, but saw an inkstone suddenly flying towards his face.

In a hurry, he quickly dodged, cold sweat breaking out on his face.

What's going on? I'm just a little late, right?

Yu Cai's mind was full of thoughts and he was extremely anxious.

Could it be that his crimes of taking kickbacks and communicating with the Daqian Kingdom were discovered?

No way, these things are done in secret, how could the Great Shang Emperor, with his brain, know that?

But if they really knew, how would they explain the extermination of nine generations of the clan?

Relax a little, maybe the Great Shang Emperor doesn't know anything, try again.

"Yu Cai, what crime should you be punished for!"

The Great Shang Emperor shouted angrily.

"I am late for the audience, Your Majesty, please punish me."

Yucai spoke.

"Pah, is this what I'm asking you about?"

The Great Shang Emperor spat, looking angry.

"Your Majesty, please speak frankly."

Yu Cai pretended to be calm, but deep down he felt as if the sky was falling.

"I'm telling you about the Great Qian Kingdom. What crime should you be punished for?"

The Great Shang Emperor walked towards them step by step, his expression full of anger.

Hearing this, Yu Cai's legs went weak and he almost fell to his knees.

It seems that his secret communication with the Daqian Kingdom has been discovered.

That's a full 100,000 taels of silver. Not to mention annihilating nine clans, even annihilating ten clans would not be excessive.

Thinking of the scene of lingchi execution, Yu Cai swallowed hard.

What should I do? Should I ask Lin Xiaofan to save me?

But I am useless now, why should I ask others to save me?
