The First Tyrant of Daxia

Chapter 435 A mysterious letter

three days later.

Qin Yun arrived in Pancheng safely.

As early as dozens of miles away, Xiao Jian personally led the cavalry to support.

At the same time, Qi Keng, the King of Zhenbei, also quietly walked out of Pancheng and came to Pancheng to meet him.

Inside the city, in a fairly grand palace.

There were many military generals and civil officials standing on both sides, making it like a miniature version of the Tai Chi Hall.

Qin Yun didn't even bother to rest. He sat in the hall and got straight to the point.

"Xiao Jian, tell me, what's the situation on the grassland?"

Hearing this, Xiao Jian glanced at Cha Ming Wei Rou who was standing next to him, and it seemed that he found it difficult to speak directly.

Qin Yun said: "It's okay, go ahead."

"The imperial concubine is mentally prepared."

Cha Ming Wei Rou was wearing a veil, and her deep blue eyes were fixed on Xiao Jian. She wanted to ask more questions, but when she thought of the promises she had made to Qin Yun along the way, she suppressed her urgency.

"Your Majesty is right, General, please speak frankly."

Xiao Jian nodded and spoke slowly: "Your Majesty, the battle situation is not good."

"A few days ago, the grasslands were caught in a bitter battle. The entire grassland was in chaos, and even scouts had difficulty gathering intelligence."

"I wanted to send more troops to support them, but Zhang Ren from Xiliang was eyeing them covetously, so I didn't dare to leave."

Qin Yun frowned deeply and said coldly: "This is a premeditated group attack."

"It's not caused by tribal friction at all."

"I'm afraid... Wang Min will inevitably take revenge on me!"

Hearing this, the sturdy and weathered King Zhenbei stood up.

"Your Majesty, the nine tribes certainly don't have the guts to do this."

"I think it was Wang Min who gave the order. The Xiliang army god's move was nothing more than a knife to the nine tribes."

Qin Yun raised his eyebrows: "Xiliang Military God?"

Xiao Jian explained: "His name is Zhang Ren. He is very good at military tactics and is able to defeat a hundred thousand soldiers."

"Better than a hundred thousand soldiers?!" Qin Yun was shocked. Xiao Jian's evaluation was so high?

Wang Min’s power is even greater than he imagined!

Xiao Jian nodded.

Qin Yun remembered Zhang Ren's name, and then asked, "What about the Zazahar tribe in the Yimushan Valley now?"

Hearing this, Cha Ming Wei Rou's eyes lit up with nervousness.

Xiao Jian frowned and said, "General Mu Le sent a letter saying that the situation is not good. The leaders of the nine tribes have joined forces and raised an army of 280,000, determined to... destroy the Zazahar tribe."

Twenty-eight heroes?

beep, beep...

Cha Ming Wei Rou's face turned pale, and her delicate body kept moving backwards, almost falling down.

With tears in her eyes, she had a bad feeling.

Qin Yun stood up and sat down with his arms around her.

Then he said to Xiao Jian: "Speak now, there is no need to hide it."

Xiao Jian said: "Leader Cha Mingmu is very tenacious and is still resisting."

"But our reinforcements were blocked by the grassland army and were unable to join the Zazahar tribe."

"Your Majesty, look."

"Mu Le's 30,000 troops are in this mountain range. Among them, 100,000 Jiangnan soldiers are stationed on the flank to guard against Xiliang. The remaining tens of thousands are all on the east side of the Yimu Mountain Valley."

"No matter what method we use, we can't attack. It's really because the disparity in military strength is too great."

Qin Yun frowned and stared at the map.

I suddenly felt a dilemma.

The Yimu Mountain Canyon is a natural barrier. There are only two directions to enter, but both are blocked by the grassland army.

In other directions, there are few people.

Let alone marching, even a martial arts master would have difficulty making the journey.

"Do you have any good ideas?"

He looked at Xiao Jian and Qi Keng, the two "national generals", and asked.

The two looked at each other and smiled bitterly.

Then Qi Keng took the initiative to say: "Your Majesty, there is no other way but to send someone to inform the leader of Cha Mingmu, and cooperate with him from inside and outside."

"We have to tear a hole through the 280,000-strong army."

Qin Yun frowned: "How many soldiers will it take?"

Qi Keng said: "Including your majesty's troops, there are now more than 100,000 people deployed."

"Why not... let the Zhenbei Army mobilize a few tens of thousands more people."

Qin Yun shook his head and refused: "There is Tubo in the north and Xiliang on the border. The troops in the northern border cannot be moved."

Qi Keng also knew that it was powerful, but the situation was like this, what else could he do?

The entire lobby fell into silence.

The depressing atmosphere was spreading. It was clear that Wei Rou's heart had already gone to the grassland. If Qin Yun hadn't been holding her hand, she might have collapsed.

Just when everything was gloomy.

suddenly!

A sergeant ran in with a shocked expression.

"Your Majesty, General!"

"Just now, there was a mysterious person outside the city. He pulled out a bow weighing hundreds of pounds and shot down the flag on the city wall from a distance of one mile."

"The arrow penetrated an inch into the wall!"

"Brothers went to check and found an envelope tied to the arrow, with it addressed to the Emperor himself!"

Hearing this, Xiao Jian's eyes lit up.

He rushed forward with great speed, snatched the envelope and handed it to Qin Yun.

Qin Yun was very curious and quickly tore open the envelope.

There was a hand-drawn map inside!

It records the garrisons of various tribes on the grassland and the terrain distribution around the Imu Mountain Canyon in great detail.

There is a route specially marked with a red line, and the end point is Yimu Mountain Canyon!

And there are words.

"Pingsha Ancient Plank Road is the only direct route. There are almost no guards along the way. When you reach the Yimu Mountain Canyon, you will encounter a small number of Feiya tribe troops."

"This is your best chance to save someone."

At this time, Cha Ming Wei Rou saw the words on the map.

His azure eyes suddenly lit up, and he said excitedly: "Your Majesty, this is the Pingsha Ancient Plank Road!!"

"The famous ancient plank road on the grassland has been missing for more than ten years. No one knows where it is, but someone actually marked it out!"

"Father and the tribe are saved!"

She shook Qin Yun's arm as if she had grabbed a life-saving straw.

Below, the ministers were confused. What was going on?

Qin Yun handed the map to them for reading, and then looked at Cha Ming Wei Rou: "Can this ancient plank road lead to the Yimu Mountain Canyon?"

She nodded heavily, her pretty face serious.

"The direction is roughly the same. I have heard of this ancient plank road since I was a child on the grassland, but because of the annual snow and wind, the road has long been lost."

“I didn’t expect someone would know…”

As she spoke, she showed a hint of suspicion.

Xiao Jian also frowned and said, "Your Majesty, this matter is doubtful!"

"What if this is a trap set by Wang Min of Xiliang?"

"With more than 200,000 grassland troops and the Xiliang cavalry, if our army is surrounded, our army of more than 100,000 will surely be wiped out!"

His eyes were as wide as bells, and he looked very serious!

This sentence, like a bucket of cold water, extinguished the fantasies of many people.

A surprise force descended from the sky, gods and men came to help, where in the world could such a good thing happen?

Most likely a trap!

Qin Yun narrowed his eyes and looked at the soldier, saying, "Can you see clearly who the messenger is?"

The soldier shook his head and said, "Your Majesty, I didn't see it clearly. It was too far away, but it was definitely a man."

Qin Yun clenched his fist and whispered slowly.
