There was a moment of silence in the big tent, and the cold north wind was howling outside. The weather in Gao State was even colder than that in Yan State.

It's only the end of autumn, but it already feels like winter.

Yan Longyi leaned his forehead down, his nose touching Si Yan's. "My Ah Yan, how come you can always guess what I'm thinking so accurately?"

What to do next is a difficult question.

Firstly, with the strength of Yan State, it would be enough to capture the capital of Gao State.

Secondly, although Gao State was only a small country, the city walls of its capital were built tall and majestic, with extremely strong defenses. In addition, it had the support of Pili Lei from Beimang State, making it difficult to capture.

This is also the reason why Yan Longyi besieged the capital of Gao State but did not launch an attack.

Furthermore, even if he was determined to capture Pingcheng, the Gao people could still continue to retreat south.

When they came back later, there was another bloody battle between them and the State of Yan.

What is more important is that there are still tens of thousands of soldiers in the capital of Gao State. If a hard fight is fought, the Yan State army will also suffer a lot of losses.

In this way, the loss outweighs the gain.

Si Yan smiled and gently stroked the man's face: "At this point, everyone would think so."

"What ideas does Ah Yan have?" Yan Longyi wanted to hear this girl's opinion.

"Since you've already eaten Gaoguo, then eat up what you've already eaten. As for the remaining ones, don't worry, you can eat them slowly later."

Yan Longyi understood that what Ah Yan meant was that they should not waste the energy to attack the capital of Gao State for the time being.

They have already captured more than a dozen cities of Gao State. What they need to do now is to completely incorporate these cities into the territory of Yan State and allow Yan State to gain a firm foothold in these territories.

This is what Ah Yan meant by understanding thoroughly. In fact, Yan Longyi also had the same idea.

If the foundation is not stable, no matter how much Gao territory is conquered, it will not be able to be defended.

At present, what Yan State needs more is to develop and strengthen its own strength, and make further plans after it becomes strong in the future.

"Pingcheng is the capital of Gao State after all. If the King of Yan takes it, it will definitely attract the attention of Beimang State. If Beimang State creates trouble again and points the spearhead at Yan State, triggering a war, it will affect Yan State's peace and development."

"Indeed." Yan Longyi nodded.

Although the Beimang Kingdom suffered heavy losses in last year's war, it is still the most powerful country in the world after all.

If they are determined to deal with Yan State, Yan State will suffer the loss.

In addition, with the strength of Yan State, it would be difficult to take over all of Gao State's territories and defend them.

There was a sea between Daxuan and Gaoguo, so Daxuan was unable to reach Gaoguo and could do nothing to help.

Yan Longyi gently brought a cup of warm water and handed it to Si Yan's mouth, and Si Yan drank it slowly.

"However, since we've surrounded Pingcheng, there's no reason to retreat easily unless Gao shows sufficient sincerity. It's Gao that's facing the threat of national destruction, and they're eager to resolve this crisis. Even if we give them even the slightest hope, they won't mind paying a price."

King Gao was a fool, otherwise he would not have listened to the advice of the Kingdom of Beimang and sent his elite troops deep into the territory of Daxuan.

His action must have made the Gao people extremely disappointed.

"Ayan, you are truly worthy of being the woman that I, Yan Longyi, fall in love with." Yan Longyi looked at the woman in front of him who attracted him deeply with a proud look on his face.

The radiance of this girl cannot be concealed at all.

He leaned over and kissed Si Yan on the lips. The gentle and lingering kiss seemed to merge the two into one.

After he had vented his deep longing, Si Yan said, "We can first ask Gaoguo to hand over the head of Beimangguo's envoy to sever the connection between Gaoguo and Beimangguo. If Gaoguo agrees, everything else will be easy."

This is actually not difficult.

The Gao Kingdom's court must have harbored great hostility towards the Beimang Kingdom's envoys because tens of thousands of elite troops had gone there and never returned.

Even if King Gao did not want to kill the special envoy from Beimang, he could not withstand the pressure from the ministers in the court.

"I will write a letter to King Gao right now." Yan Longyi said, gently letting go of Si Yan.

He picked up his pen and wrote a letter to King Gao.

The letter said that the enmity between Yan and Gao was due to the close relations between Gao and Beimang.

Under the instigation of the Beimang people, the Gao State repeatedly invaded the borders of the Yan State, which led to the Yan State's resistance.

Yan Longyi asked King Gao to kill the special envoy of Beimang Kingdom and sever ties with Beimang Kingdom.

Otherwise, Yan State would immediately launch an attack, storm Pingcheng, and destroy Gao State.

"Yan Wen, have someone deliver this letter to King Gao immediately."

Yan Longyi had the letter taken out and instructed his deputy general to handle it.

"Yes." Yan Wen received the letter and glanced at the military tent meaningfully.

The prince thought about it all night last night but still couldn't make up his mind. As soon as Miss Si came, in less than quarter of an hour, the prince had finished writing the letter to King Gao.

Yan Longyi sat back down next to Si Yan. "Ah Yan, what if King Gao refuses to kill the Beimang envoy?"

Although the possibility is small, there is always a chance of something happening.

Si Yan said calmly: "Then let the soldiers in my special training camp teach them a profound lesson."

Since King Gao refused to kill them, they had no choice but to do it themselves.

"I will let the army cooperate with Ayan." Yan Longyi chuckled and took over the conversation.

Si Yan said in a voice as calm as the wind: "Once King Gao kills the envoy from Beimang, King Yan will then ask Gao to submit to Yan and pay tribute and give him gold, silver and treasures. It won't be a difficult matter."

Yan Longyi couldn't help but be slightly stunned, and held the woman's hand: "The pie that Ah Yan painted for me at the border has now been half realized."

At the beginning, when A Yan urged him to cooperate with Da Xuan to attack Beimang Kingdom, he said that Yan Kingdom's territory could be expanded to Gao Kingdom. Unexpectedly, it has been realized now.

"I'll give you every cake." Si Yan smiled lightly.

She naturally would not forget that the other half of the pie was from the barbarians to the north of Yan State.

The Hu Lu had always been a headache for the State of Yan. They lived on the grasslands in the north, relying on strong horses and superb riding and archery skills. Every time they came to the State of Yan, they would rob and run away.

If the problem of the Hu Lu people can be solved, the border threat in the north of Yan State will be easily resolved.

"Ayan, do you have any way to deal with the barbarians?" Yan Longyi asked.

"Yes." Si Yan said with a smile.

She is well-versed in ancient and modern military books, and her mind is filled with the wisdom of her ancestors. How could she not be able to deal with the barbarians?

Yan Longyi loved Si Yan so much that he stretched out his arms, picked him up by the waist and placed him on his thighs.

His kisses covered him all over again. Si Yan couldn't help but push his chest and said with a smile: "Don't light a fire randomly, or you will be the one who burns."

"Hmph! Believe it or not, I will eat A Yan." Yan Longyi's eyes were deep, full of forbearance.

"Come on." Si Yan gently pinched the clothes on his shoulders and tore them open. Yan Longyi was at a loss whether to laugh or cry, and quickly held his clothes together.

There's no easy access to water in this military camp. He's been on the offensive all the way and hasn't had a shower in three days...
