Chapter 2117 Yaguo's Response
When King Ya read the letter, veins on his forehead suddenly popped out:
"what!"
Deceiving too much!
This news was even worse than the Dragon God Army's invasion of the Kingdom of Ya. King Ya could no longer sit still. He paced back and forth in the room for more than ten times, thinking over and over again, and then ordered an emergency court meeting.
As usual, the mood at this meeting was very intense, with ministers and tribes all clamoring to defeat the Dragon God Army and take back Baiqiuyuan.
Some people also said that Emperor Jiuyou had led his troops deep into the enemy's territory alone, and now was a good time to keep him and not let him escape back to Cangyan.
Amidst the noise, King Ya said coldly, "Do you know who the Nine Nether Emperor has sent to guard the Holy Spring Valley now?"
Everyone doesn’t know.
"Wanqi Song."
As soon as this name came out, the royal court fell silent.
Of course, they all knew who Wanqisong was. This fierce general of the Bailong tribe had disappeared for a long time. It was said that he had tried to rob the Yangshan Islands, but was defeated by the island master He, who was now the Jiuyou Emperor. No one expected that they would hear this name again during the court meeting one day.
Could this guy be thinking... ?
"The Bailong people hate us more than the other Dragon God Army." King Ya continued, "The two captives released by the Dragon God Army said that they heard the Bailong people make a proposal to Emperor Jiuyou to blow up the Holy Spring and fill it up!"
"They dare!"
"If this is true, Emperor Jiuyou will never be able to return safely. We must keep him here at all costs!"
King Ya took a deep breath, threw the intelligence that had just arrived at night in front of them, and said in a rough voice:
"See for yourself!"
When the generals picked it up and took a look, the person who had jumped the highest and shouted the loudest just now suddenly became silent.
The urgent reports were brief, with only one line of scribbled words:
"The 70,000-strong army of the Mou Kingdom invaded Afuhai and Shana, advancing from northwest to southeast, and has occupied three districts!"
A few days ago, the Dragon God Army pressed into the border of Ya Country from the northeast;
Now, the army of Mou State is actually invading Ya State from the northwest!
The worst thing is that the Ya Kingdom is anxious to deal with the Dragon God Army and has already called back most of the garrisons on the western border. So the current western defense is relatively empty.
Unexpectedly, Mou Jun seized this opportunity immediately.
Wulu murmured, "Isn't the Kingdom of Mu too busy fighting with Bejia to have time to look east?"
The reason why Ya State beat Bailie so hard was that it calculated that the two big countries were fighting fiercely and Mou State would not be able to spare the time to go to war with Ya State again.
Fighting on two fronts is too painful.
I didn't expect that when Bailie was humiliated, Mou State could still stand by and watch, but when Ya State was invaded by the Dragon God Army, Mou State immediately sent troops to Ya State!
King Ya sneered: "How many troops does the Mou Kingdom have? How can they all block the western front? As soon as it saw that we had started a war with Cang Yan, it immediately wanted to pick peaches!"
Who doesn't know that Bailie is a vassal of the State of Mou? The looting of Bailie by the State of Ya was a slap in the face of the State of Mou.
Previously, the Mou Kingdom could still tolerate it, but now the Cangyan Kingdom has invaded the Ya Kingdom, not only fighting back and forth, but also gaining the upper hand. What a great opportunity for revenge for the Mou Kingdom!
So while the Mou Kingdom was fighting with Bejia, it also tried to divide its forces, and the speed of intervening was also very fast.
"Hmm, wait a minute, those Mou troops must have been waiting near the border for a long time, otherwise how could they invade the border of Ya Country so quickly?"
One of the ministers said, "It seems that Mouguo and Cangyan have a plan. Cangyan will attract our full attention in the northeast, and Mouguo will attack from the west and rear."
King Ya glared at him and said, "Do you need to repeat such an obvious fact? I asked you to come here to ask if anyone has a good solution to help us overcome the difficulties we are facing!"
Wu Lu immediately asked, "Who leads the Mou army?"
"There should be several generals. We have not collected enough intelligence at the moment, but we know that Lu Ci brought 20,000 men."
Lu Ci was the general of the Mou State who had previously led his troops to help Bailie resist the army of Ya. He had rich experience in fighting against the Ya State.
He alone brought 20,000 troops, what about the other generals of Mou?
"It seems that Lu Ci's transfer back to the territory of Mou State was just a bluff." Wu Lu's face was as heavy as the other generals. He didn't know what was going on, but in just a few days, Ya State suddenly reached a critical juncture of life and death!
In the past few years, the strength of Ya State has risen rapidly, with the expansion of the army, the expansion of territory, and the submission of other countries. The Ya people are very proud and firmly believe that they will surely become a rising new power in the region. It can be said that no matter which side invades alone, the Ya State has the confidence to deal with it, because it is no longer the same as it was seven or eight years ago, or more than ten years ago when it was invaded by the Mou Army.
But if these two guys attack together, it will be like there are hungry wolves in the east and fierce tigers in the west. How can it bear it?
Zhao Keduo, the courtier of King Ya, immediately said, "The current situation may seem dangerous, but there is still room for maneuver."
The meaning of "Lishi" is think tank.
Zhao Keduo studied in Beiga in his early years and also did business in Mou State. He had a good understanding of these two great countries.
"The last time the Mou Kingdom sent troops to help Cang Yan, they forced us to withdraw from the western part of Shanjin. But not long after, the Yangshan Islands changed hands to Chi Yan, which means that Cang Yan stabbed the Mou Kingdom in the back." Zhao Keduo didn't know the details. He didn't know that He Lingchuan gave the Mou Kingdom 800 dragon pillars, and he didn't know the agreement between He Lingchuan and Chi Yan, but he knew, "Emperor Mou must be very unhappy. The relationship between Cang Yan and the Mou Kingdom is not very good."
King Ya sat down and asked, "What do you think?"
"Even if these two families cooperate, they are just using each other for their own benefit. As long as we persuade one of them to give up the attack, the rest will be easy."
The reason why Ya State is in such a predicament right now is that it is caught between a rock and a hard place. If one of the two powerful enemies is missing, it will be able to deal with it more calmly.
From a strategic point of view, it also has to find a way to reduce the number of enemies to -1. If there is only one enemy left, the opponent may not fight back when he sees that there is no advantage to be gained.
King Ya certainly understood this principle: "Which party should I persuade?"
Although the Dragon God Army is coming with great force, the dignitaries of the Ya Kingdom present, including the King of Ya himself, do not believe that Emperor Jiuyou will be able to eventually conquer the Ya Kingdom.
But Mou’s army… There were records of Ya State being invaded twice in its history. Although Ya State was growing stronger and more confident, the shadow of the two previous defeats still lingered over its head.
Why do we have to make a choice? Zhao Keduo smiled and said, "We should naturally lobby both sides! If we can persuade one side, that's the best. If we can persuade both sides, wouldn't it be the best? Negotiations can also confuse the enemy, slow down their offensive, and buy us more time."
"It's probably not difficult to negotiate with the Mou Kingdom, but it's too greedy and asks for too high a price!" Ya Kingdom has dealt with the Mou Kingdom many times and is more familiar with its temper. If it wants the Mou Kingdom to withdraw its troops, Ya Kingdom will have to bleed heavily. So when King Ya thought of the face of the Mou Kingdom, he felt annoyed, "As for the Nine Nether Emperor who occupied our clan's holy land..."
King Ya pressed his temple and said, "He came here for revenge."
