The strongest nine thousand years old
Chapter 77: 3 Gamble
The Barbarians are coming again! ?
The faces of everyone in the court changed at the same time.
Yan Yunzheng, who had just revealed the majesty of an emperor, had a flash of panic in his eyes and subconsciously looked at Chen Dong.
Chen Dong frowned slightly and glanced at Yuwen Qing.
Most of the court officials looked panic-stricken, except for a few military generals who seemed excited because of the matter of the Martyrs' Cemetery.
Yuwen Qing, with his calm face, was obviously out of tune with these people.
A thought suddenly occurred to Chen Dong’s mind – could these barbarians be sent by the Yuwen family?
Yan Yunzheng was "seriously ill", and even the eight great families could not help but secretly take action. The most powerful Yuwen family, however, did not take any action, which was not in line with common sense.
Moreover, the Yuwen family had long wanted to get involved in the military power in the northern border and wanted to take control of the Zhenbei Army.
Chen Dong deduced that the Yuwen family must have told the barbarians in the north about Yan Yunzheng's "death news", which was why the barbarians were trying to test Dayan's strength.
If Yan Yunzheng is really dead, it means that the Yuwen family and the barbarians have joined forces to steal the power of Dayan!
If Yan Yunzheng hadn't died, these barbarians would have been just cannon fodder.
"hiss"
Chen Dong couldn't help but take a breath.
Everyone says that Yuwen Wuji is an old fox, and this time, Chen Dong has witnessed it.
You can attack when you advance and defend when you retreat, and you will always be invincible.
Feeling Chen Dong's gaze, Yuwen Qing looked at him and gave a faint smile.
It seems to be saying, so what even if you see through the Yuwen family's plan?
"Your Majesty! Dayan and the Northern Barbarians are sworn enemies. Since the barbarian soldiers dare to show up, we might as well kill them and shock the barbarian royal court. Not only the Zhenbei Army of Dayan is capable of fighting, but all of our subjects are not cowards!" Chen Dong said solemnly.
Several generals also volunteered to fight.
"I am willing to lead the troops to kill these barbarians and show the might of Great Yan!"
"My sword is thirsty for blood, please give me a chance!"
"The barbarians on the grassland are just a group of savages who eat raw meat and drink blood. I will go cut off their heads and lay the foundation for the Martyrs' Cemetery!"
Yan Yunzheng's eyes lit up and he laughed, "General Hu Wei said it well! The Martyrs' Cemetery is commemorating the soldiers of Great Yan. We should use the blood and heads of the barbarians to commemorate those heroic spirits!"
"I order you to lead the city guards and kill all these barbarians!"
Liu Yong said excitedly: "I will obey your order!"
The other two generals couldn't help but sigh.
"Today, I and all the lords will go to the city wall to watch General Huwei defeat the barbarians and show the power of our Great Yan!"
…………
The Barbarian Royal Court only sent a small number of troops, only a thousand, to find out whether the news of Yan Yunzheng's death was true.
These one thousand men were divided into small groups and infiltrated into Yanjing City from the northern border. They did not gather their troops until they reached the outskirts of Yanjing City, preparing to attack the city.
They have already heard that some people in the folks are saying that His Majesty is seriously ill and will die soon, and some are saying that His Majesty is in good health and has sex with three women at night. Some people even say that the Beijing camp rebelled and attacked the palace, but was killed by the eunuch Chen Dong...
The various pieces of information were so confusing that they had no idea which one to believe.
But the news that the eight great families were confiscated and exterminated, and that there was a bloody battle at the gate of the palace, was widely spread. They also saw with their own eyes that the houses of the eight great families were sealed.
They were more inclined to believe that the emperor was safe and sound.
However, they still wanted to see with their own eyes whether the emperor was alive or dead.
"Woooo..."
The barbarians blew their horns, and the wild sound dispersed the clouds in the sky.
The sun was shining brightly in the sky, and a barbarian soldier suddenly bent his bow and shot at the sun.
"whoosh"
Arrows shot through the air.
"crash"
The black dragon flag of Dayan erected on the gate of Yanjing City was shot down by an arrow and fell to the ground immediately.
The soldiers on the city wall cried out in surprise.
At this moment, a big hand suddenly stretched out and caught the black dragon flag that was about to fall to the ground.
He stretched out his right arm, and the black dragon flag fluttered in the wind, rustling.
The other soldiers couldn't help but cheer.
Others bent their bows and drew their arrows, shooting at the barbarian archer.
Unfortunately, the two sides were too far apart, and even with the advantage of being high above, the arrow missed its target and fell only ten feet away from the barbarian archer.
The barbarian archer narrowed his eyes, bent his bow and drew his arrow again. This time, his target was the man holding the black dragon flag.
"Wang Meng, get back off!" He Feng shouted.
Wang Meng was unwilling, but he still retreated under He Feng's order.
As soon as he retreated, the barbarian archer lost his target, so he simply raised his arm and shot his arrow at the city wall.
"duh"
The arrows were flying around, and Yan Yunzheng and others under the city wall looked extremely ugly.
Yan Yunzheng wanted to show off the might of Great Yan with his court officials, but he was given a warning by a barbarian archer. His face suddenly darkened.
The barbarian archer didn't know that he almost hit the Emperor of Dayan. After shooting two arrows, he rode his horse to the commander.
The commander of the thousand barbarian soldiers was the centurion Temucha. He shouted loudly: "The Northern Barbarian Envoy Temucha, under the order of the Lord of the Grassland, the Northern Barbarian Imperial Court, the Great Khan Ji Ke, is here to present a letter to the Emperor of Great Yan. I beg the Emperor of Great Yan to show up and see us!"
Chen Dong said inwardly: As expected!
These people were indeed sent by the Grassland Huangting to find out the truth.
He glanced at Yuwen Qing and couldn't help but sneer.
"The barking dog never bites. The Yuwen family is so cruel!" Chen Dong thought to himself.
Seeing that no one responded, Temujin repeated what he had just said.
Everyone looked at Yan Yunzheng.
Yan Yunzheng said calmly: "Xiao Dongzi."
Chen Dong nodded in understanding, stepped to the top of the city wall, and said loudly: "His Majesty is of noble status, how can you, a barbarian, see him whenever you want? Present the letter of credence first, and I will receive you after His Majesty has dealt with government affairs."
Tiemucha laughed and said, "Is Dayan deserted? They let a eunuch show off his power!"
"Do you look down on me? Do you dare to come down and compete with me?" Chen Dong asked provocatively.
Tiemucha's eyes darkened. "What do you want to compete in?"
"Best of three games. Our Great Yan is a country of etiquette and courtesy. Visitors from afar are guests. I let you choose first." Chen Dong said.
A gleam of light flashed in Tiemucha's eyes, and he said in a deep voice: "Since we are going to compete, of course we have to add some spice."
Chen Dong smiled and said, "That's exactly what I meant! Three million taels of silver, do you dare?"
"hiss"
"hiss"
There was a sound of gasping air.
The opening offer was three million taels of silver, what a generous sum!
The annual tax revenue of Dayan was only five million taels.
Three million taels are enough for the people of Yanjing City to live a life of ease and comfort for five years!
"Your Majesty, should you be more cautious?"
"Three million taels, there is no silver in the treasury!"
"Your Majesty, stop him! Don't let him do anything wrong!"
Yan Yunzheng looked at Chen Dong with concern, and Chen Dong gave her a reassuring look in return.
Yan Yunzheng gritted his teeth and said, "I believe in him. We have won two out of three games. I want to dampen the arrogance of the grassland barbarians!"
The ministers kept sighing.
But Yan Yunzheng supported Chen Dong, and they were powerless.
Chen Dong laughed loudly and said, "You're not scared, are you?"
Tiemu took a look at the barbarian archer who had just met him, and the archer nodded vigorously.
"I agree! The first match will be horseback archery. Whoever has better archery skills will win!" Temujin said loudly.
"Okay, the second game, charge into battle!" Chen Dong revealed a cold smile.
At the same time, the city gate creaked open.
The sound of horse hooves sounded like thunder.
Liu Yong led three thousand city guards and attacked Temucha and others.
Tiemucha's expression suddenly changed, and he roared: "You are cheating!"
