Chapter 245 Killing the chicken to scare the monkey
Ling Qiyan's trusted envoy rode as fast as he could to the Western Qiang Kingdom. When he arrived at the Western Qiang Palace, he was quite surprised by the arrival of the Yin Kingdom envoy.
After paying respectful tribute, the envoy used the old grudge between the Western Qiang and Daxia as a starting point, and said tactfully: "Your Majesty, Daxia's new emperor has just been established, and its foundation is already unstable. If Your Majesty can raise an army on the southwest border, Daxia will be in trouble. Not only can you avenge your past grudges, but you can also get a share of the spoils in this chaotic world. Yin is willing to form an alliance with the Western Qiang, advance and retreat together, share honor and disgrace, and after the matter is accomplished, share Daxia's wealth and land."
After hearing this, the king of Western Qiang was shaken, but still had doubts: "Although the prince of Yin has a good plan, the Great Xia coalition is very powerful, and our Western Qiang has limited military strength. If we rashly send troops, it may be difficult to win."
Seeing this, the envoy hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, don't worry. The crown prince of our Great Yin Kingdom has personally led the elite troops to the front line of Mobei to contain the main force of the Great Xia coalition. The Western Qiang Kingdom only needs to create momentum on the southwest border to attract some of the coalition forces to come back for support, and the pressure on Mobei can be relieved. In addition, the Yin Kingdom will secretly provide food and military support to ensure that the Western Qiang Kingdom has no worries."
The king of Western Qiang pondered for a long time, but was eventually blinded by the desire for revenge and interests. He gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, since you and the Yin Kingdom are so sincere, I will send troops to give it a try."
When the king of Beidi learned that the general of Beidi had died in battle and faced the pressure of the coalition forces of Daxia, he wanted to retreat and said to Princess Hengyang: "My beloved, I am afraid that Beidi will not be able to cope with the current situation. Daxia has united many countries to form a coalition. Our army has just experienced a defeat and morale is low. If we continue to fight, we may be in danger of extinction."
Princess Hengyang raised her eyebrows when she heard this, and hurriedly advised: "Your Majesty, please do not give up so easily. Although Daxia has an allied army, we Beidi are not a weak force either. The head of Murong Xuanyi can still be the key to our turning the tide of the war. If we cease fire now, all our previous efforts will be wasted, and we will become a great threat to Daxia in the future."
The eldest prince of Beidi glanced at Princess Hengyang and said in a dissatisfied cold voice: "Father, you have also seen that our army suffered heavy losses in this battle. The artillery of Daxia is amazingly powerful, and the coalition forces are numerous. Moreover, although the prince of Yin Kingdom has sent additional troops to support, it is difficult to guarantee victory. If we continue to entangle, the people of Beidi will fall into dire straits."
After hearing what the eldest prince said, the King of Beidi looked hesitant and his eyes shifted between Princess Hengyang and the eldest prince.
Princess Hengyang was furious when she saw the eldest prince openly refute her, but she still suppressed her anger and said to the eldest prince:
"Your Highness, you only see the predicament in front of you, but you don't think that if you retreat now, Beidi will never be able to recover. As long as we can hold on until Murong Xuanyi dies, Daxia will be halfway destroyed. If you give up this great opportunity, when Daxia consolidates its rule, the first thing to be eliminated will be us Beidi."
The eldest prince snorted coldly: "Empress Xin, please don't just make empty promises here. Our army is losing ground and morale is low. What can we do to support it? Don't let the entire Beidi be buried with you for your own selfish desires."
Princess Hengyang was so angry that she was shaking all over. "Your Highness, how dare you slander me like this? Everything I do is for the sake of Beidi. You only know how to retreat, and you are not worthy of being the prince of Beidi."
The eldest prince was about to retort, but the Northern Di King rebuked him, "Enough! Now is not the time to argue. My dear prince, what my beloved concubine said is not entirely unreasonable. Let me ask you again, if we don't fight, do you have a plan to protect the Northern Di?"
The eldest prince was speechless for a moment, and after a moment of silence he said, "I think we can negotiate peace with Daxia, even if we have to cede territory and pay compensation, to seek temporary peace, and then make plans after Beidi recovers."
Princess Hengyang said disdainfully: "Negotiation? Your Highness is probably daydreaming. Will Yin Kingdom let you go if you negotiate peace at this time? By then, you will be attacked from all sides and you will be in a dilemma."
The eldest prince of Beidi frowned and ignored Princess Hengyang. He said to the king of Beidi:
"Father, we can't trust everything Ling Qiyan said. He said that since the new emperor of Daxia ascended the throne and Prince Jing disappeared, there would be an opportunity to take advantage of the situation. But the current situation is not as easy as he said. If we blindly listen to him, we may be used as a gun by him."
After hearing what the eldest prince said, the King of Beidi fell into deep thought. He knew very well that Ling Qiyan was not a good person, and the Yin Kingdom's plan might be more complicated and profound than what appeared on the surface.
After a long time, he slowly said: "Your Majesty is right, but if we don't rely on the power of Yin, it will be difficult for us Beidi to compete with Daxia alone."
Princess Hengyang calmed down a bit and said, "Your Majesty, your concerns are not unreasonable, but we can't give up because of fear. Perhaps we can also make peace with the Western Rong.
Princess Hengyang calmed down a bit and said, "Your Majesty, your concerns are not unreasonable, but we can't give up because of fear. Perhaps we can discuss cooperation with Xirong. Xirong and Daxia also have deep conflicts because of the dispute over the northwest territory. If we can form an alliance with them, coupled with the support of Yin, our chances of winning will be greatly increased."
The King of Beidi nodded slightly: "My dear, this plan is feasible, but I don't know what the attitude of the Western Rong is."
The eldest prince still had doubts: "Father, the Western Rong have always been cunning and changeable. Cooperating with them is tantamount to seeking the skin of a tiger. If they turn against us in the middle of a battle, we, the Northern Di, will be doomed."
Princess Hengyang rolled her eyes at the eldest prince and said, "Your Highness, the situation is critical now. There is no perfect choice. Although the Western Rong are risky, as long as we control them properly and promise them great benefits, they will surely fight alongside us. It is better than sitting and waiting to die, or being led by the nose by the Yin Kingdom."
The King of Beidi thought for a moment and said, "We should first send people to Xirong to test their terms and sincerity. During this period, the Beidi army will rest and strengthen defenses to wait for subsequent changes."
Although the eldest prince was unwilling, he could only nod silently since his father had made the decision.
Princess Hengyang was secretly planning how to kill Murong Xuanyi for revenge.
Finally, after much consideration, the leader of Xirong decided to cooperate with Beidi temporarily.
The news soon reached the Great Xia Desert North Camp. After Murong Xuanyi learned about it, he knew that the situation was becoming increasingly serious. He immediately summoned generals from various countries to discuss countermeasures.
The atmosphere in the tent was heavy. A general spoke first: "Your Majesty, if the Western Qiang Kingdom raises troops on the southwest border, our army will have to divide its forces to deal with them. This will increase the pressure on the battlefield in Mobei. What should we do?"
Murong Xuanyi frowned, thought for a moment and said, "The Western Qiang's move must have been secretly instigated by the Yin State. We must not panic, we must respond calmly."
Murong Xuanyi paced back and forth in the tent, repeatedly weighing the current severe situation. He knew that if the Western Qiang Kingdom raised troops on the southwest border, the coalition forces would be in an extremely passive situation. Dividing the troops to deal with it would cause a huge loophole in the defense of the Mobei battlefield, and the consequences would be disastrous. After thinking for a long time, he decisively spread out paper and ground ink, and quickly wrote a letter while his pen moved. Brother Ying sent the letter to Yuan Ying overnight.
After receiving the letter, Yuan Ying's eyes quickly swept across the letter paper, his eyebrows slightly frowned, he pondered for a moment, and slowly wrote eight words on the paper: "Take the enemy by surprise, kill the chicken to scare the monkey!".
