Emperor: When will the Seventh Prince rebel? I will open the city gates to welcome him.

In his ears there was still the buzzing sound of artillery fire.

If Hongxuan had not told him in advance to stay away, he would probably have been killed by artillery or rifle.

After hearing Yun Yi's words, Ba Yin fell into deep despair.

Including the Beishang cavalry killed by Zhenbei King Hongxuan this time, Zhenbei King Hongxuan alone killed nearly 500,000 cavalry in total.

This is a terrifying number for the enemy.

Grand Tutor Numarchi looked at Yun Yi with an extremely unpleasant expression and said:

"Yun Yi! Ever since you fought against Zhenbei King Hongxuan and were defeated time and time again, this Grand Master suspects that you have been bribed by Zhenbei King!"

Yun Yi didn't say anything.

But the cavalry guard beside him shouted angrily;

"Grandmaster! You have never experienced fighting against the King of Zhenbei, so you don't know his methods. If you had experienced fighting him on the battlefield, you would naturally understand whether what the military advisor said is true."

The Grand Master shouted angrily.

"How can a mere cavalry guard like you be allowed to speak in the Taiji Palace?"

The cavalry guard sneered:

"The Northern Business Kingdom is already in name only, and you are still putting on airs in front of me? We cavalrymen are fighting for our lives outside, while you are enjoying wealth and glory in the rear!"

Yun Yi stopped him and said:

"Captain of the Cavalry should not argue with the important officials of the court. Now is not the time to argue!"

"Grand Master! You have never experienced how brave the soldiers led by the King of Zhenbei are on the battlefield. This national master will not argue with you."

Ba Yin, who was sitting on the throne, turned pale. He completely believed what Yun Yi said.

"Then what should we do about the national master's plan now?"

Ba Yin knew that if the Imperial Master Yun Yi no longer cared about the court of Beishang Kingdom, he would have left with his remaining troops long ago and would never come to Kyoto again.

The reason why he returned to Kyoto was because he didn't want Zhenbei King Hongxuan to succeed.

In both wars, Yun Yi lost due to lack of equipment, and he felt very unwilling to accept this.

He looked at Ba Yin who was sitting high up and said:

"Your Majesty! My master believes that the most urgent task is to form an alliance with the Bona Kingdom in the Western Regions!"

"The Bona Kingdom in the Western Regions has always wanted to preach in the Northern Shang Kingdom, but the Buddhism they preached has always been rejected by Baxin."

"The Northern Shang Kingdom has reached a moment of life and death. No matter what the conditions are, we must agree to the request of the Western Region Bona Kingdom!"

Of course, Ba Yin had heard of the country of Panagia in the Western Region, which was a country that believed in Buddhism.

This country wanted to spread its doctrines in the Northern Shang Kingdom several times, but was rejected by the old emperor. After Baxin ascended the throne, the Bona Kingdom specially sent a group of monks to discuss the missionary work with Baxin.

But they were all rejected.

The messenger, the missionary mage Liu Liyan, was not angry but said:

"Your Majesty! The reason why we don't allow the Buddha's light to shine upon Beishang Country is because the karmic affinity has not yet arrived. Once the karmic affinity arrives, Beishang Country will surely accept the universal grace of the Buddha's teachings!"

After hearing Yun Yi's words, Ba Yin's face showed obvious hesitation.

"My father once said that all Buddhists who believe in Buddhism should eat vegetarian food and chant Buddha's name every day and have no intention of giving birth! This!"

"And Bona is the poorest capital. Are we asking them for help?"

Yun Yi said:

"Now is the most critical moment for Beishang Country. You still care about these things. There are many enlightened people in Bona Country, and their personal military strength is the strongest among all countries."

Yes! Among all the countries, if we talk about combat power, the country of Bona is the strongest.

The more Yun Yi spoke, the more he felt that his idea was right. His eyes lit up and he slapped his forehead.

'Snapped! '

"Hahaha! Yes! Haha! I got it! I got it!"

"Our Beishang Country is saved. I, Yun Yi, know how to save our Beishang Country."

As Yun Yi spoke, he began to dance with joy. He seemed to have discovered something extraordinary.

Ba Yin looked at Yun Yi who suddenly seemed a little confused and said:

"National Master! Why are you like this?"

Yun Yi said while laughing:

"Our national teacher has realized it! Our national teacher has realized it! Reporting to Your Majesty!"

Until this moment, Yun Yi once again addressed Ba Yin as His Majesty:

"Your Majesty! There is absolutely no way that our Beishang Kingdom can defeat the Zhenbei King on the battlefield! The Zhenbei King commands a huge army with incredible combat power."

"If we still use the same tactics as on the battlefield, we will undoubtedly die. The nearly 500,000 cavalrymen before are an example. We can't possibly defeat the King of Zhenbei on the battlefield."

"Since we can't defeat the King of Zhenbei after the battlefield, why not defeat him in other ways?"

As soon as Yun Yi said this,

Everyone in the court understood that what Yun Yi said was correct. Since they could not win on the battlefield, why should they fight to the death?

Ba Yin said:

"You mean! Let Beishang become a vassal state of Bona first, and let the people of Beishang believe in Buddha from now on!"

"In this case, King Zhenbei will definitely not agree! The ending is predictable."

After becoming the Bona Kingdom in the Western Region, Beishang became a vassal state. As long as the King of Zhenbei wanted to attack, he would be attacking the Bona Kingdom.

When the time comes, King Hongxuan of Zhenbei will directly confront the Buddha of the country of Bona, and he will certainly not end up well.

Ba Yin had no choice.

He had no right to agree if he didn't agree, and it wasn't his choice now.

"Good! That Zhenbei King Hongxuan killed nearly 500,000 soldiers of my Beishang Kingdom. He has long been irreconcilable with the Zhenbei King! It is better for Beishang Kingdom to become a vassal state of the Western Region Bona Kingdom than to be destroyed by him."

No one, including the ministers in the Taiji Hall of Beishang Kingdom, opposed it. If the King of Zhenbei conquered Beishang Kingdom, how could he let them go?

Between the two options of being destroyed by the Dafeng Kingdom and becoming a vassal state of the Bona Kingdom in the Western Regions, everyone, including Ba Yin, would choose the latter.

Yun Yi said to Ba Yin:

"In that case! To show your sincerity, Your Majesty, please come with me to the Kingdom of Bona!"

This time, Ba Yin said without hesitation:

"Okay! Then I will go with the Imperial Master!"

Ba Yin and Yun Yi are preparing to go to the country of Bona.

Kangding City.

Hongxuan controlled Baxin and got war horses from all the soldiers in the ten counties.

After obtaining the war horse Zhenbei Wang Hongxuan and preparing food and grass, he did not hesitate to lead an army of 120,000 to attack Utopia City, the capital of Beishang Kingdom.

Ba Xin and Zhenbei King Hongxuan were both sitting in the same carriage.

The carriage was spacious and tall, pulled by four war horses.

Along the way, the King of Zhenbei ordered his army not to harm the people of Beishang.

His target was only the capital of Beishang Kingdom.

During the ten-day ride, any forces along the way trembled in fear when they heard that the army was led by Zhenbei King Hongxuan.

No force dared to approach.

Hongxuan led his troops to Utopia City, the capital of the Northern Shang Kingdom.

Hongxuan looked at the magnificent city from afar and sighed.

"This king is finally going to hold the territory of Beishang Kingdom in his hands!"

When they were approaching Utopia City, the capital of Beishang Kingdom, there were nearly 100,000 troops lined up in front of them trying to stop the army of Dafeng Kingdom.

Zhenbei Wang Hongxuan sent an order to Zhao Bencai and He Zhili:

"After marching for thousands of miles, I finally arrived at Utopia, the capital of Northern Shang. How dare these ignorant Northern Shang cavalrymen resist me at this time?"

"Zhao Bencai! Arrange the artillery in order! Bomb these Northern Shang cavalrymen to death!"

"He Zhili! Get your rifles ready, shoot these Feibei Shang cavalrymen to establish your authority!"
