Forcing me to keep vigil for your childhood sweetheart? Then I'll leave you.

Without the war between the North and the South, Prince Qing could safely transfer many soldiers to the border.

A full 30,000-strong army marched westward, ready for an ambush.

Afterwards, Yu Jin also took 300 new troops and 10,000 of his own troops, plus 30,000 soldiers recruited from various places, and sailed north from Lianjingdu to meet with Prince Qing.

The news was sent to Yan State. Yan Nan stabilized the situation in the north, then dispatched 5,000 cavalry to clean up the troops and streamline the government, and set out personally!

At this time, Tiemu and Mengge brought their group of Xiongnu soldiers to the southernmost tip of Tai'an Mountain, planning to go through the pass and ride their horses again.

Although the "customs clearance documents" along the way were cumbersome, they knew that these were necessary procedures.

Up to this point, no one realized that a catastrophe was about to strike.

Just as Lin Yi was assisting Huangfu Qingling and chatting and laughing in the court, a jaw-dropping battle broke out in the middle section of Tai'an Mountain.

After Tiemu and Mengge's armies advanced for a while on the west side of the Tai'an Mountains, they saw a large army pursuing them.

At the same time, the sound of gunfire continued.

"Dayong is untrustworthy!"

"Kill!"

But they had no idea that three hundred new troops had been ambushed on one side of the Tai'an Mountains.

When Dayong's cavalry came from the front, the muskets fired a volley from the flanks, directly killing and wounding a large number of Xiongnu cavalry.

Immediately, Prince Qing's Xuanwu chariot rushed down the mountain, and the new troops on the Xuanwu chariot also fired musket balls while moving.

When attacked from both sides, Tiemu and Mengge planned to break out separately.

But just as they were about to escape, they saw the thorny Xuanwu car wrapping them up like dumplings.

They couldn't believe that the iron turtle in front of them could run faster than a horse!

Prince Qing was watching the battle on the northeastern mountain, while Yu Jin was chasing him in the south.

When Prince Qing saw the cavalry coming in the distance from the north, he immediately ordered a gap to be opened to let Yan Nan's army in.

When Tiemu saw that Dayong's army actually took the initiative to open up a gap, he was naturally ecstatic.

The remaining Hun troops began to charge towards the opening.

But they didn't expect that they would face the fierce cavalry of Yan State head-on!

On one side are muskets on the side, and on the other side are surrounded by iron turtles.

In front of them were the cavalry of Yan State, and behind them were the cavalry of Dayong State charging towards them.

Mengge still wanted to resist, but Tiemu had already given up resistance, found a place to dismount and surrendered immediately.

In a head-on attack, these 10,000 Hun troops were completely wiped out!

After this battle, Yan Nan, Prince Qing and Yu Jin will successfully meet.

"Hahaha, I never thought that I would fight alongside Dayong!"

The soldiers were cleaning the battlefield, while the three of them were sitting at a simple table.

"Prince Qing, I've seen your Xuanwu chariot before, but these are..."

While drinking and chatting, Yan Nan asked King Xiang Qing, "I have never seen these weapons before."

Prince Qing and Yu Jin looked at each other.

They vaguely remembered that Lin Yi would have better things, and this expedition was a simple one with simpler troops and simpler administration, mainly for pursuit, so the cannons that were still being tested were not used in actual combat.

After a moment of silence, Yu Jin spoke.

"These are new weapons designed by Lin Yi. They are to be fired with gunpowder."

After Yu Jin gave a brief explanation, Yan Nan immediately became very interested.

"If used on a horse, this power should be able to completely destroy the Xiongnu cavalry, right?"

Yan Nan asked.

"There are designs for carbines, but they don't have a very long range, and they're very troublesome to reload."

Prince Qing waved his hand slightly, "For the time being, we'll focus on infantry equipment."

"I see. Are you two going to court soon? Could you please bring me a message?"

"After I return this time, I want to formally visit Dayong and come to the capital."

Yan Nan's words made Prince Qing and Yu Jin feel a little embarrassed again.

They don't know what the attitude is over there.

So he could only send someone back to see the attitude over there, and then let Yan Nan prepare an envoy himself to understand the situation first.

"Yes, you have bicycles, so it's quick to go back and forth."

Yan Nan nodded slightly, and then the Yan army and the Dayong army chatted and drank with each other, having a great time.

Although they had fought and had some hatred in the past.

But now it seems that all grudges have been forgotten after meeting and laughing.

After all, tracing back to the previous dynasty, they are all from the same country.

……

A few days later, the news reached the capital.

At the morning court session, Huangfu Qingling began to ask for other people's opinions.

In fact, Huangfu Qingling was very worried that Yan Nan would suddenly go south to start a war after obtaining Dayong's muskets.

When she couldn't make a decision, she could only look at the state of her ministers.

"Your Majesty, since the Emperor of Yan is coming here, it means he is here to pay homage."

"According to etiquette, we must receive."

Ning Tian spoke.

He is the Minister of Rites, so logically speaking, receiving guests and other such things are the responsibilities of his subordinates.

"Minister Ning is wrong. If the Yan people had our weapons, I'm afraid they would start a war between the North and the South!"

An official from the Ministry of Personnel spoke nearby.

"Yes, this is exactly what I am worried about."

On the other side, the Minister of Revenue also spoke.

"Yan is a martial nation. If its military becomes stronger, the balance between north and south will be disrupted."

An assistant minister from the Ministry of Justice also spoke up.

"What do you say, Bao Diyi is different?"

Huangfu Qingling looked at Bao Bu Tong, who was very conflicted and hesitant.

"Your Majesty, I really don't know."

"If the Emperor of Yan were to come, it would actually be a very good way for the two countries to establish an alliance and achieve permanent peace."

"As for the Emperor of Yan, I'm not worried. I'm just afraid that some of his subordinates have ulterior motives."

Bao Bu Tong slowly replied, "If these matchlock guns are taken, the cost of assassination will be very low."

Hearing this, they all swallowed their saliva.

The word "assassination" does make people feel a little scared.

Although the matchlock gun is loud, it has a long range and great power.

If it is used for assassination, even if the assassin can be caught, it is difficult to guarantee Yan Nan's survival.

"Now the Xiongnu are about to cause chaos. If the Emperor of Yan is assassinated, Yan will..."

"When the lips and teeth are separated, they will be cold. Dayong will also suffer."

Bao Bu Tong lowered his head.

In general, the ministers were divided into two parts.

I agree with Yan Nan's visit this time, but I disagree with Yan Nan's visit this time.

The two sides started arguing and arguing with each other.

"Okay, be quiet for a moment!"

Huangfu Qingling saw that they had fully expressed their opinions and turned her gaze to Lin Yi.

"Lin Yi, as the Prime Minister, what do you have to say?"

Hearing this, Lin Yi first saluted Huangfu Qingling, and then turned to the ministers.

"Everyone, your worries are unnecessary!"

Lin Yi slowly said, "Let the Emperor of Yan come to visit."

"Since this news came from the military, then the Emperor of Yan must have known about the muskets."

He began to analyze, "If we don't agree, then the gap between the two countries will be exploited!"

"So according to Prime Minister Lin..."

"agree?"
