Dali Dynasty, a teahouse.

A man with a black beard put down his tea cup, looked a little gloomy, and asked others, "Have you heard? The War King is dead!"

"What? It's impossible!" Others were shocked.

"Is it true? The King of War is a famous general of our dynasty, with great military exploits. He has been in the army for more than ten years without suffering any serious injuries, and now he is actually dead?" When people at the next table heard this, they were all shocked.

The black-bearded man nodded heavily, "Really, I just came here and passed by the market, and I happened to see someone posting a notice... Alas, I failed miserably!"

"The war king is dead? What about the front line?" Another person asked anxiously.

The black-bearded man shook his head, "The war kings are dead, and General Gu has never arrived, so naturally no one can stop Qin Yi..."

"Then tell me how many cities we have lost!"

"It should be two seats." A person next to him speculated, with a somewhat uncertain tone.

"Two at most, no more!" another person said loudly.

The black-bearded man shook his head and stretched out his hand.

Seeing him showing four fingers, everyone's heart skipped a beat!

In just a few days, Qin Yi has captured four cities. If more time had passed, wouldn't this guy have reached this point?

At that time, half of Dali will surely fall!

Thinking of this, everyone was filled with panic!

As the strongest dynasty in Cangyuan Continent, Dali has not had a war in its homeland for hundreds of years since the establishment of the dynasty.

As a Dali concubine, no one expected that one day, the city they were in might actually fall!

"It is said that General Gu is about to arrive at Lijiang. After crossing the river, he will have a direct confrontation with Qin Yi. I wonder if she can stop Qin Yi..." One person said with a sad face.

"It's hard to say. Even the King of War was defeated miserably, and General Gu may not be able to win..." One person said sadly, as if he had foreseen the fall of Dali's country.

"Alas!" Everyone sighed, full of hope that Gu Yulan would be able to repel the enemy and defend the mountains and rivers of Dali as they wished!

……

The news that Qin Yi captured the four cities of Dali was not only widely spread in Dali, but also spread rapidly in Linzhan, becoming known to everyone.

Looking at all the people, it is like celebrating the first day of the new year, very happy and full of joy.

As they walked on the road, they couldn't help but hold their heads high.

From then on, the people of Linzhan stood up!

No longer weaker than Da Li, no longer oppressed by Da Li, but able to press Da Li to the ground and rub him!

Just like the common people, the officials from various places and in the capital were all beaming with joy.

If it can be said that Qin Yi led his troops into Dali to boost his morale, then killing the War King and capturing the four cities of Dali in a short period of time was an astonishing move!

This not only established Qin Yi's reputation as the number one general in Cangyuan Continent, but also solidified his reputation as the God of War!

The enemy's direction is irresistible!

So far, no defeat!

Officials and people throughout the dynasty, from top to bottom, were praising and praising Qin Yi's achievements!

The brilliance of its image is like the scorching sun!

……

A few days later, everyone's shock and admiration for Qin Yi had just subsided when an explosive news spread like wildfire.

This news spread throughout the entire Cangyuan Continent at an extremely fast speed.

Anyone who heard this would be filled with shock!

No matter the people of Dali, or the people of Linzhan Lishu and Jing Dynasty, they never thought that there would be such a ferocious and brave alien race in the northwest corner of Cangyuan Continent!

The existence of Xiangrong has been secretly spread by thoughtful people and has become known to all women and children.

The cruelty and strength of this ethnic group have been clearly understood by the world through each case.

When they learned that sixteen years ago, no one in the five northern cities survived, not because of the plague, but at the hands of Xiangrong, the officials and people of Dali turned pale with shock.

It turns out that this is the truth!

Hundreds of thousands of people died in the five cities... Xiang Rong was so cruel!

The horrified Dali people, especially the people in the northern cities, packed their bags, dragged their families and families, and headed for the south in a hurry. Some of them secretly escaped into Dajing, or came to visit.

Even if you become a refugee with no fixed place to live, it is much better than dying in the hands of cruel Xiang Rong, or in the mouth of Xiang Rong!

For a time, chaos broke out among the people!

"Bang!" He slapped the armrest of the dragon chair violently. Emperor Dali was furious and yelled, "Which loser brought this matter to light?"

"Didn't I say not to disclose this matter? What's going on!"

After shouting angrily, Emperor Dali Chai Yuzhao stared closely at the people in the hall.

Those who knew about Xiang Rong's existence were not only some soldiers in the north, but also some high-ranking officials in Lidu. The latter had all been summoned to the palace and were questioned by the emperor.

The Prime Minister Zeng Chengwang quickly stepped out of the queue and said with a wry smile, "Your Majesty, this matter is important. How dare we reveal it? It is very likely that some people deliberately spread it after learning about it."

Zeng Chengwang had already known about the existence of the Rongzuo League and had ordered the annihilation of this organization.

But after that, the Rongzuo Alliance went underground and was difficult to eliminate. In addition, the other party had no intention of spreading the matter, so Zeng Chengwang stopped paying attention to it.

But now, this news has spread like wildfire. Could it be that it was spread by the League of Extinction?

Shaking his head secretly, Zeng Chengwang secretly felt that it was unlikely. If the other party had such an intention, he would have spread it long ago and would not have waited until now.

The Minister of the Ministry of War came out and echoed, "Master Zeng said it many times and the ministers agreed. It is most likely that some people have evil intentions and spread it."

"Hmph!" Emperor Dali snorted angrily, "Then what should we do now?"

If the common people in the northern border are allowed to roam around, chaos will occur in Dali!

Even if there is no chaos, it will surely decline!

What's more, there is a damn Qin Yi on the southeastern border!

Now that there are internal and external troubles, could it be that it is time for the Great Li to be destroyed?

Thinking of this, Emperor Dali Chai Yuzhao became panicked.

Faintly, he was also a little confused. Could it be that his plan for the Eastern Expedition was really wrong?

Zeng Chengwang responded quickly, "Your Majesty, I feel that we should no longer hide it at this moment. Paper cannot cover the fire. It is better to admit it and then inform the people of the court that the court has countermeasures to stabilize them and prevent them from doing anything."

To move around again."

As for the countermeasures, don’t say it out loud.

In addition to the fact that the late emperor did take some measures to build the city, build forts and beacon towers, but today, he did nothing and rashly started a war with Linzhan. If the people knew about it, there would definitely be an uproar.

Seeing that Emperor Dali frowned and was silent, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue took the opportunity to go out and persuade him, "Your Majesty, I feel that we should negotiate peace with Linzhan, otherwise, it is very likely to cause resentment among the people."

He didn't agree with Emperor Da Li's use of troops against Linzhan. After all, the Xiang Rong in the northwest were moving frequently, so they should be on guard.

What's more, there is Qin Yi in Linzhan, who is an unparalleled war god and general, and it is extremely difficult to win in Dali.

And now, it has been proven that his guess was right.

Da Li really couldn't get any favors from Qin Yi.

It is better to stop negotiating peace quickly and deal with Xiang Rong with all our strength, which can also settle the grievances of the common people.

He knew that before long, Dali's use of troops against Linzhan would definitely arouse complaints among the people.

In addition, such a complete defeat in the Great Li will arouse anti-war public opinion. It is better to end the war as soon as possible to stop the people's complaints.

As for negotiating peace, he knew it would not be easy. Da Li was at a disadvantage and had little initiative, but he must be able to convince Qin Yi by spitting out some blood and paying a price.

After all, the other party is well-organized and far-sighted, and will not be too short-sighted.

In addition, Qin Yi is already the regent of Linzhan and has a very high reputation. A single word can determine the country's actions. If he agrees, no one in Linzhan will have any objections.

After hearing what the Minister of Hubu said, Emperor Dali snorted angrily, "If we negotiate for peace, doesn't it mean that my decision is wrong? No!"

Everyone in the palace couldn't help but smile bitterly after hearing this. It seems that His Majesty regards personal face as more important than the stability of the country.

"Just as Zeng Aiqing said, circulate the notice and inform everyone that I have taken measures. Don't panic, and strengthen the management of the northern city. If you don't leave without reason, you are not allowed to leave without permission, otherwise you will be severely punished!" Emperor Dali!

Said in a cold voice.

The officials were frightened when they heard this. They understood that if the following measures were implemented, a lot of public resentment would arise. However, this was a helpless move and they could only respond, "Your Majesty is wise."

……

After capturing Guilian City, Qin Yi learned that another reinforcement from Dali had arrived on the north bank of the Lijiang River.

In total, Dali has 200,000 troops, gathered on the north bank. The opponent has not crossed the river, obviously waiting for Gu Yulan's arrival.

From the war map, Qin Yi could also see a red dot rushing towards the north bank of the Lijiang River.

Judging from the size of the dots, it can be inferred that the number of opponents is about 20,000 to 30,000.
