Chapter 1171 How Can We Let Others Covet Our State

Yun Shang paused, "On the way to the border of the State of Xia and the State of Yelang?"

Luo Qingyan nodded, "Liu Yinfeng said so in the letter."

"They confused us, and then they advanced secretly." Yun Shang bit her lips and said, "Both the books

and craftsmen drew our attention to Liucang City. They did so to make us think that there is something

wrong with Liucang City. "

"Liucang is the place where Xia Houjing started the revolt. After that, it's chaotic there. So our attention

is easily attracted by Liucang City. But in fact, Xia Houjing's target may not be Liucang City from

beginning to end. "

Yun Shang pressed her lips and said, "These craftsmen are most likely heading for the military camp of

the State of Yelang."

"Although the State of Yelang has strong horses and soldiers. However, compared with the State of Xia

in terms of workmanship, weapon casting and other aspects, there is a huge gap. "

"Cangjue Qingsu must have found out the same problem, so he asked Xia Houjing to send some

craftsmen to make up for it. If these craftsmen help the State of Yelang with the construction,

strengthen the defense, and cast a batch of weapons and equipment, the fighting capacity of the State

of Yelang will definitely be greatly improved. "

Luo Qingyan nodded, "Your guess is most likely correct."

Yun Shang frowned more tightly. "Xia Houjing really resorts to every conceivable means to get the

throne. No, we can't let these craftsmen arrive at the military camp of the State of Yelang smoothly. "

"Okay." Luo Qingyan lowered his head and said, "I will send a message to all the secret guards and

spies along the way from Liucang City to the border, asking them to try their best to prevent those

craftsmen from going there."

"These craftsmen are rare talents. I will ask the secret guards to pay attention to them and don't easily

hurt their lives. But if they choose to become our enemies, I won't care so much. We can't let them

arrive at the State of Yelang alive... "

Yun Shang nodded slightly with a heavy look on her face. "That's right. I'd rather kill them directly than

let them help the State of Yelang cast weapons to help them kill more soldiers and people of the State

of Xia."

Speaking of this, Yun Shang thought of another thing. "When I met Zhao Yingjie, I mentioned that Xia

Houjing might still have some connection with Cangjue Qingsu in secret. He told me that there was a

trade team passing the border before, but after that trade team passed, another trade team with the

same identity and name arrived at the border. After investigation, the later team is the real. "

"I guessed that the previous team must be Xia Houjing's people. Their destination must also be the

military camp of the State of Yelang. The trade team must have brought some goods with them. I don't

know what is hidden in those goods... "

Luo Qingyan had also heard about it from Zhao Yingjie. He sighed, "No matter what it is, it's has

already been sent the military camp of the State of Yelang. We can't do anything about it. But only this

time... "

"Xia Houjing is trying his best to transport people and things to the military camp of the State of Yelang.

I'm wondering what he is going to send next. I think he really wants to move the whole State of Xia

there. But I will never give him such a chance. "

"From now on, I won't let even a mosquito pass the border between the State of Xia and the State of

Yelang."

Yun Shang snorted, "It seems that our previous great victories haven't taught the State of Yelang

enough lessons. If I had known it earlier, I would not have come back. I should have taken advantage Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

of the victory and attacked them hard. I should have chased them to the State of Yelang and taken over

their cities as well. In that case, they wouldn't dare to plot against us again and would tremble every

time they mentioned the State of Xia. "

Hearing Yun Shang gnashing her teeth, Luo Qingyan couldn't help laughing. "Yes, you are right."

Yun Shang pursed her lips and glanced at Luo Qingyan. Seeing his smiling face and teasing eyes, Yun

Shang felt relieved. "Well, I just said it casually. Of course I know that we might not be able to take

advantage of the situation at that time. "

"Once we went to the State of Yelang, we would cost a lot of manpower and material resources. Not to

mention anything else, even the supply of army provisions was a huge problem. And we didn't know

how long it would take to fight like this. Neither Jin City nor the State of Xia could wait. In the winter, the

soldiers of the State of Xia were not used to the terrain and climate there, and they would suffer losses.

By that time, we might lose. "

Yun Shang knew it clearly, so Luo Qingyan didn't say anything more.

Luo Qingyan held Yun Shang's hand and said with a smile, "We'll beat the State of Yelang sooner or

later. How can we let others covet our state? Cangjue Qingsu is too restless. I can't rest assured until

this hidden trouble is completely removed. "

"But to resist foreign aggression we must first get rid of the enemy within. Now the court of the State of

Xia is in a mess. I have to solve this mess first. When the newly promoted officials gradually came to

the court, I didn't need to worry too much about the affairs in the court. Let's wait and see. We need to

prepare the food, the weapons, and the soldiers. Then we can go on our own expedition again,

completely wipe out the State of Yelang, and make the State of Yelang bow to us. "

Yun Shang nodded and thought for a moment. "But it won't take too long to prepare. We can wait, but

the State of Yelang can't. I guess they'll wait the winter past. When the fresh grass grows in the state of

Yelang again, they'll feed their war horses and soldiers and start the war again. "

"One winter." Luo Qingyan smiled, "A winter is enough."

Yun Shang looked up at Luo Qingyan. Seeing his complacent face, Yun Shang couldn't help smiling.

"You're right. It's more than enough to prepare for a winter to deal with a country like the State of

Yelang."

After saying that, she couldn't help laughing and said in a low voice, "Your majesty, just set your heart

at rest and deal with the court affairs. Now our spies have formed a net in the whole State of Xia. I will

think of a way to secretly build some food storages in the section from Jin City to the border to reserve

the food."

"And arrange soldiers start practicing in all military camps in the name of guarding the State of Xia."

"The State of Yelang is secretly preparing for it. We can't leave it behind."
