Crown Prince of the Empire, I quit!

The Yun family wants to build a second line of defense, which means they will need an additional layer of protection from now on.

Yun Wenxun sighed and said:

"This break with the Yan royal family has caused us great losses, but the future gains will also be great."

"But we need to be on guard against them in the future. Therefore, I think one line of defense is definitely not enough. An extra layer of insurance can give us peace of mind."

After the Yun family and Qin Ming cooperated, they had the intention of merging into Daqian.

The conditions Qin Ming offered him were very good. Even if it was incorporated into Daqian, he would only treat it as a vassal state.

All sovereignty still belongs to the Yun family.

Within five years, the profits would not have to be taxed to the imperial court as in the Yan Dynasty.

In addition, the Yan Dynasty royal family did not have to pay the annual tribute of tens of millions of taels collected from the Four Pillars of State.

Under such conditions, the Yun family's strength will recover rapidly in just a few years.

By then they can even compete with the Yan Dynasty royal family.

"Got it. I'll leave you an extra 10,000 troops, and I'll take the rest."

Cao Chuan turned to look at Hei Fu, who did not refuse and nodded slowly.

Qin Ming's troops have become the Yan Dynasty's key target of defense.

Even defeated Lian'an City guarded by the Tiger Roar Guards!

This means that they have opened the door to the eastern inland, and once they advance inside, they can do great things in the Yan Dynasty.

It is for this reason that they must concentrate all their strength on this force at this time.

Help Qin Ming use the strongest blade in his hand to pierce Yan Chao's heart!

That night, Cao Chuan's troops retreated quietly from the battlefield without a sound.

Heifu directly led all the troops to launch a large-scale attack on the 100,000 Tiger Roar Guards led by Yan Ziqiong and the Ouyang family's troops.

The offensive was so massive that Yan Ziqiong mistakenly believed they were going to counterattack.

So they quickly strengthened their defenses, but did not send out any soldiers to actively fight them.

This is the effect that Heifu wants to achieve.

In fact, Yan Ziqiong didn't know that for today's battle, Heifu had already sent out all his troops, leaving the rear empty, just to create the appearance that he was not planning to withdraw and wanted to continue fighting with them.

Late at night, in a private house.

The stunningly beautiful Yan Ziqiong sat alone on the bench.

The cool moonlight cast a glow on her delicate and radiant skin, making her look like a saint.

There was a pot of strong tea beside her. Although it was late at night, Yan Ziqiong still did not rest.

Today's Daqian surprise attack made her nervous, and she was always waiting for the battle report from the front line.

Ding Ding Deng!

Suddenly, there was a sound of hurried running in the distance.

Several men rushed in, knelt in front of Yan Ziqiong and said:

"Urgent report from the front!"

"The Daqian troops crossed the Wangdu River from seventy miles to the north and have entered Pingshan City, which is under construction on the edge of the defense line!"

"What!?"

Yan Ziqiong was a little surprised when she heard the news, and a strange expression was written all over her pretty face.

After fighting for many days, she knew exactly how many people Cao Chuan and Hei Fu had under their control.

It is absolutely impossible that the battle line reaches a depth of seventy miles!

It is hard to imagine how many troops the other side has deployed on the battlefield.

Did these people appear out of thin air?

Suddenly, Yan Ziqiong's eyes narrowed and her hands clenched.

A possibility occurred to her.

Yun family!

Yun Wenxun held on for a long time in the life-and-death battle with the Ouyang family. In the end, Yan Ziqiong dispatched the troops of the Ouyang family and began to build a defense line in the rear.

During this period, Yun Wenxun may have transferred his troops to Cao Chuan's front line!

No wonder they have so many troops!

Could it be that he wanted to seize this opportunity and launch a surprise attack with his wife's entire army?

When this year just emerged, Yan Ziqiong's beautiful eyebrows were tightly furrowed.

"Notify all troops to defend the city with all their might! Do not send any troops out!"

"Leave behind 200,000 troops to support all parties at any time! Don't give Daqian any opportunity to take advantage!"

Yan Ziqiong's goal is simple.

You don’t have to make any achievements, but you can’t make mistakes.

After all these years, this is the first time that the royal family has given her such great power to lead 100,000 Tiger Roar Guards!

As long as we can complete the task of building the defense line and get the credit for forcing back the Daqian troops, this trip back will be enough.

But if you do unnecessary things, which affects your existing achievements and makes you regress instead of progress, then the gain will be counterproductive.

Therefore, all of Yan Ziqiong's decisions are extremely conservative.

Heifu was very smart and had figured out Yan Ziqiong's condition early on.

So he launched a large-scale military operation and showed his fangs and claws, but he was not punished at all.

"Yes!"

After Yan Ziqiong gave the order, countless troops began to retreat to various nodes within the defense line.

Because of his cautious concept of leading troops, Yan Ziqiong's nearly 150,000 ordinary troops and the highly mobile Tiger Roar Guards, a total of 200,000 troops, were all inside the defense line waiting for any disturbance caused by the ambush.

If there was any movement, they would move.

Early in the morning, Heifu took the initiative to lead his troops to the outskirts of Huangsha City where Yan Ziqiong was located to challenge him.

"Yan Ziqiong, you are just a woman, you are not worthy to fight me. If you have the guts, come down and let your soldiers fight me!"

"Yan Ziqiong, you coward! What a waste of troops!"

"Hahahaha, no one in Yan Dynasty dares to fight me!"

His arrogant look was like a scene of an empty city plan.

Yan Ziqiong, sitting on the city wall, just drank tea quietly and confronted Heifu.

Several Tiger Roar Guards officers standing by couldn't help but strode forward, kneeling in front of Yan Ziqiong and saying:

"Your Highness, we are ready to fight!"

"Don't worry, this battle is only to dampen his spirit. It won't delay any of your deployments!"

Yan Ziqiong glanced at a few people coldly and didn't want to pay any attention to them, but then she thought that these people were the Tiger Roar Guards of the Yan Dynasty, and they were elite soldiers.

So she showed some respect and said softly with her red lips:

"Everyone, the battlefield is not a place to decide victory or defeat. I know that your honor and beliefs cannot be slandered by others, but before that, you must first be loyal to the Yan Dynasty."

"I am also loyal to the Yan Dynasty, so during this period, we cannot listen to the enemy's provocations and cause unnecessary trouble."

"If we fall into his scheme and encounter any consequences, even I, the princess, cannot bear the consequences. I hope you all understand."

Both soft and hard words were said, and the Hu Xiaowei present couldn't refute it for a while.

I can only continue to confront Heifu.

After seeing the other party's actions, Hei Fu became more certain of his guess.

He planned to provoke Yan Ziqiong for as many days as possible before she saw through him, so as to buy enough time for Qin Ming, Cao Chuan, Liu Chuang, Ye Shoujiang and others.

While the western front was making continuous efforts, Qin Ming on the eastern front suddenly received news from the Wu family.

That day, Wu Tianxing traveled hundreds of miles to find Qin Ming.

"His Majesty."

Qin Ming was a little surprised when he saw him.

"What is it that requires you, the young master of the Wu family, to come and deliver it in person?"

"That's it... General Ye has taken action!"

As soon as Wu Tianxing opened his mouth, he announced breaking news.

Qin Ming raised his eyebrows. He knew that Ye Shoujiang would take action, but he did not receive any news after the other party took action, and he had to wait for the Wu family to notify him.

This shows that Ye Shoujiang was not following his own route at all.

Suddenly, he seemed to remember something and asked with a strange look on his face:

"General Ye... went to the Hong family in the north?"
