The First Tyrant of Daxia

The stalemate lasted for a long time.

Fanyin suddenly pushed Wanyan Honglie away, and said with dissatisfaction: "I have helped you so much, but you are afraid to take the last step? What's the point of me doing this?"

"The situation is so ugly now, do you really think the Great Xia Emperor will let it go? If this continues, Tongcheng will learn more and more lessons, and eventually you and I will become his stepping stones!"

Wanyan Honglie reached out to grab her wrist, but she took a step back.

He smiled bitterly: "Don't be angry, I know you have done a lot in Jincheng. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't be here today."

"But some things don't have to be so extreme. He helped me before, and I don't want to betray him and break up with him."

Fanyin sneered, becoming more and more agitated: "Then didn't I help you? You only remember her!"

"Why did he help you, and why did I help you?"

Wanyan Honglie clenched his fists and knitted his brows tightly together: "Why are all of you so hostile to him?"

Seeing this, Fanyin's beautiful eyes flickered, and she wondered if she was pushing him too hard.

In fact, Qin Yun's existence and support for Wanyan Honglie will affect the interests of too many people, the first to be affected is Fanyin who has been fanning the flames.

But she couldn't say these, so she burst into tears and choked up, "You don't believe me?"

Wanyan Honglie felt heartbroken and reached out to wipe the tears from her snow-white cheeks. The breeze ruffled her long hair, just like back then. At that moment, Wanyan Honglie looked dazed, his heart throbbing in the deepest part of his soul.

He is not stupid, he just loves a woman.

"Okay!" He said hoarsely, "I will listen to you, but I will negotiate with him one last time and ask him to withdraw his troops and leave the country, and not interfere in the internal affairs of the Jurchens."

"As compensation, I can give him countless gold, silver and war horses. If he disagrees, then we will be strangers and no longer friends until a winner is decided!"

"One day, I will rule the world, and you will own half of this kingdom. We will be the two saints ruling the country!"

If there were someone on this hillside with beautiful scenery, they would be extremely shocked! Two saints coming to the throne? This has never happened before. Is Wanyan Honglie really a loser, or does he love Fanyin to his core? !

There was a brief silence in Fanyin, and a hint of struggle flashed in her beautiful eyes, but it was quickly replaced by calmness.

"Okay, but you have to be prepared. According to rumors from the soldiers, it seems that the Emperor of Daxia has ordered the transfer of Daxia's strongest Shenji Battalion to the north. His adopted son Mu Le will also come. He doesn't want us to survive this time!"

"It would be best if he is willing to leave and not get involved anymore."

"If he doesn't want to, then we should strike first and take down Tongcheng, then Jincheng. Their red cannons won't be able to enter the country on a large scale, and their army won't be able to adapt to the plateau climate as they go deeper. We have a natural advantage in defending!"

Looking at her beautiful eyes, Wanyan Honglie nodded heavily. The open-minded, handsome and sunny look on his face in the past was no longer visible, replaced by fatigue.

The emperor also had many frustrations. He didn't want to go this far, but he had already done so.

He had been in Daxia for many years and knew the situation there very well. The twelve riders of Yanyun who were now attacking Huyan City were already the best among the brave and skilled fighters, but in Daxia they might not even be ranked in the top three.

Mu Le's Shenjiying, Xiao Jian's Zhenguo Huwei, He Ya's Xiliang Iron Cavalry, which one of them is not a fierce and powerful general?

Then, he held Fanyin in his arms, enjoying a moment of peace and warmth.

But Fanyin's mind was not here, instead he began to plan a new plan.

For her, Qin Yun's existence is a threat, a threat leading to her ultimate goal.

……

Ancient pass.

As dusk was about to fall, Qin Yun stopped his army's siege of the city today, and a large number of troops went forward to transport back the bodies of the dead.

Cart after car, blood was flowing.

Qin Yun felt very uncomfortable watching this scene. He didn't want anyone to die, so he let Wanyan Honglie take charge of the Jurchen war alone.

But unexpectedly, by some strange combination of circumstances he still came, and casualties were still inevitable.

He stood on the chariot, frowned and asked: "How many people died in the siege today?"

In the harsh sandstorm, Kou Tianxiong's lips were dry, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Your Majesty, it is estimated that there will be no less than 5,000. Many soldiers have climbed up the wall of Guguan, but they are no longer able to fight. Their combat effectiveness is far less than before."

"More than 10,000 soldiers who participated in the siege became dizzy and weak after retreating."

"Everyone is wondering if the water source has been poisoned again."

As soon as these words were spoken, the grain transport officers, water transport officers, and some civil servants around them all turned pale and almost collapsed to the ground.

If it is true, they will all be killed.

Qin Yun frowned and said, "It has nothing to do with poisoning. The soldiers were affected by the plateau climate. White Ape City is better."

"But this ancient pass is already at a very high altitude. Vigorous exercise and fighting will only exacerbate the loss of physical strength. At best, you'll feel dizzy, and at worst, you may even suffocate!"

His gaze turned towards the ancient pass in the distance that seemed to stand in the clouds. It was huge and mottled, and looming. A trace of solemnity emerged in his eyes.

Not to mention the Restoration Army, even if the strongest army of Emperor Wanyan, Yelu's troops, were added, they were not enough for him. As soon as the 100,000 Shenji Battalion arrived, they would almost sweep across the country.

But the difficulty lies in the damn climate and altitude in the north. This is not a fight against people, it is purely a fight against nature!

Everyone was startled, their faces grim: "Your Majesty, we have just reached the ancient pass. I thought this would happen when we were close to the heartland of the Jurchens. What should we do next?"

"It was a worthy death for the soldiers to die on the battlefield, but it was too unfair to be defeated like this!"

"Yes, the most difficult thing is how to conquer the ancient pass. If we don't open it, Wanyan's restoration army will not be under pressure, and your plan will fail!"

Everyone had a worried look on their face, knowing that these were the difficulties they would face, but they had not expected them to come so quickly and so violently. Except for the battalion commander, countless soldiers were not injured, but they did not even have the strength to stand up.

Qin Yun frowned. All the solutions he could think of were not mature. Suddenly, an idea flashed in his mind and he looked at the inconspicuous place behind him: "Do you have any solution?"

Brush brush!

Countless generals looked over there. Many of them knew Hongye, because Wanyan Honglie was very disgusted with her and their eyes were filled with some hostility.

Faced with the looks of these fierce generals, Hongye was frightened for a moment and was at a loss.

"Your Majesty, what good ideas can she have?"

"Maybe she is a spy!" Soft murmurs continued.

Qin Yun glanced at the generals calmly: "Are you questioning me?"

All of a sudden, the generals felt their scalps go numb, and they immediately knelt down in front of the tent, saying, "Your Majesty, we dare not!"

"Humph!" Qin Yun snorted: "Don't employ those you doubt, and don't doubt those you employ!"

"Hongye, you lived in Jurchen when you were a child, so you must know something about this place. How can outsiders who come to Jurchen effectively overcome altitude sickness?"

"Just say it boldly."

Suddenly, Hongye's pressure dropped sharply. She looked at Qin Yun with gratitude, and then hesitated and said, "There is a way, but... I'm afraid it will be difficult to achieve at this stage."
