Crown Prince of the Empire, I quit!

Inside the imperial palace in the capital, hundreds of generals stood before Emperor Qian. They all came from the Yan Dynasty.

Among these people, some look no different from Daqian, while others look very different from Daqian.

Even though they said they were here to support.

But the command of the 300,000-strong army was not in the hands of Emperor Qian.

Instead, the generals of the Yan Dynasty commanded alone.

Looking at the many generals in the hall, Emperor Qian said slowly:

"Everyone, who among you is the person in charge?"

"Your Majesty, it's me."

A tall, yellowish-faced man in armor answered.

The surrounding generals silently made way for him to walk before Emperor Qian.

"My name is Yan Guangshou, a general bestowed with a surname by the Yan Dynasty."

During the exchanges with the Yan Dynasty, Emperor Qian and the officials in the court learned about the system used by the Yan Dynasty, which was far away overseas, to govern the country.

The State of Yan was a pyramid-shaped country with strict class structure.

At the bottom were the slaves, above that were the common people, and above that were the various nobles.

These nobles controlled the land and the population on the land.

The nobility was also divided into nine ranks, and they were not allowed to marry each other, otherwise their nobility rank would be lowered.

Once you are demoted, it is difficult to move up again unless you make great contributions.

The majority of the soldiers in the army were basically slaves and civilians, and there were not many nobles going to the battlefield.

Although the generals who led them were also nobles, this nobility was accumulated through military merits, and they may have been just slaves or common people originally.

Only by fighting on the battlefield and making stable contributions to the Yan Dynasty.

Only their descendants could be blessed like other nobles and enjoy a good life in the Yan Dynasty.

This is also one of the reasons why the Yan Dynasty army was so powerful.

"Given your surname... What rank of nobility are you?"

Emperor Qian nodded slightly and asked the most important question.

The level of one's social class determines the strength of Yan Guangshou's ability to lead troops.

If Yan Chao fooled him and just called in a deceptive character to assist in this war, then Daqian would have no chance.

Yan Guangshou was very polite. Having been in the Yan Dynasty for so many years, the distinction between superiors and inferiors was deeply ingrained in him.

"Your Majesty, I was originally a slave, but now I am a third-class noble, and I have been granted the imperial surname."

There is also a chain of contempt among the nine ranks of nobility, divided into upper three ranks, middle three ranks, and lower three ranks.

Yan Guangshou relied on his own efforts to rise from a slave to the upper third class, no wonder he was given the surname of the country.

Emperor Qian finally felt relieved.

"How about you and my allied forces attack from the direction of the two state capitals of Dongshan and Xishan in this war?"

Emperor Qian was not blind, he had long known about the defensive deployment in the Central Plains.

A rash attack would only play into Qin Ming's hands.

Faced with Emperor Qian's arrangements, Yan Guangshou did not react at all.

He remembered the way he had acted this time.

The Yan Dynasty attacked on its own, coordinating with Emperor Qian's men.

It wasn't him who dispatched it.

"Your Majesty, could you give me a map of the entire Daqian territory?"

As soon as these words were spoken, Emperor Qian's expression changed immediately.

The enemy's troops have already fully entered Daqian.

But now they seem to be raising the price.

Maps of this era were extremely important to the army and the entire dynasty.

However, if the entire map of Daqian is handed over to the other party, it would be equivalent to sharing all the information about Daqian’s territory with the Yan Dynasty.

This is an extremely risky thing to do.

However, Emperor Qian was an old fox. He would definitely not give up these supports, and he quickly came up with a compromise.

"Ever since the loss of the mountains and rivers, the map of Daqian has undergone some changes. Now, many areas do not even have the latest measurement results on the maps in my hands."

"I can give you maps of the Central Plains and surrounding areas. General Yan can use these maps to fight without any problems."

Before the war started, although the two sides were allies, they had already started fighting in private, which made Emperor Qian somewhat alert.

"Then I'll trouble you, Your Majesty. Tonight, I will work with my troops to develop a detailed battle plan, which I will present to you for your review."

Yan Guangshou didn't say anything else. Seeing this, Emperor Qian slowly nodded.

After the two men discussed the time to start the war, Yan Guangshou left the hall with his men.

After he left, Wang Bao stepped forward and asked Emperor Qian hesitantly:

"Your Majesty, the people from the Yan Dynasty have ill intentions. They just came up and wanted to ask for a map of the entire territory. If this continues, I am worried that I will be courting disaster."

How could Emperor Qian not know what he said?

But at this time, Emperor Qian just shook his head slightly, with strong hatred flashing in his eyes.

"It doesn't matter. No matter what they think, as long as we can get the land they took away back, it doesn't matter even if we give them enough benefits. The most important thing now is to kill Qin Ming!"

Compared with other losses, Emperor Qian now values ​​Qin Ming's life more.

As long as he can get revenge and kill Qin Ming, it will all be worth it.

This is also why he always makes strategies that hurt the enemy by a thousand and hurt himself by eight hundred.

Seeing that Emperor Qian was becoming more and more extreme, Wang Bao showed some hesitation on his face, but he didn't dare to say anything more at this moment.

"Your Majesty is wise."

On the other side, when they returned to the military camp outside the capital.

Yan Guangshou quickly called several generals under his command.

"You guys arrange a team to explore the Central Plains."

"General, is this a frontal reconnaissance?"

Several people were a little confused.

When Yan Guangshou came here before, Emperor Qian had already told him that it would be difficult for them to defeat Qin Ming on the front battlefield.

"Yes."

"Investigate their military strength, weaponry, and the identities of their most important generals."

As an outsider, Yan Guangshou believed that they needed to strike at the most vulnerable part.

If we continue to fight them according to the original method used by Daqian and Qin Ming, the outcome will not change and we will still fail.

What they need to do is to find an opportunity as soon as possible to see if they can strike some key points in Qin Ming's hands.

This will completely slow down Qin Ming's pace and make him lose his composure.

"I heard that they are accepting people from the surrounding areas of the capital who have fled to the Southern Dynasty recently?"

Thinking of this, Yan Guangshou suddenly mentioned another matter.

"Yes, it is said that this matter has caused a lot of uproar."

Several men nodded immediately.

Because this incident caused such a big stir, even outsiders like them heard a lot of rumors.

"After your investigation, arrange for three thousand slaves to infiltrate the Central Plains and kill several of their commanders."

Yan Guangshou continued to give orders.

This order almost caused these three thousand people to lose their lives in the Central Plains.

But what is puzzling is that no one at the scene objected.

It seems that this kind of thing is normal for them.

"Yes!"
