"Your Majesty, the army has been stationed under the Yuguo City. We only need your Majesty's order to break through!"
"In addition, this is a letter sent by the envoy of the State of Yu. Your Majesty, please read it."
There is a relatively clear national border between Daxia and Yu State, that is, the three miles after Daxia leaves the city belongs to Daxia.
The area three miles away belongs to the State of Yu, but like Daxia, the State of Yu also has its own city.
Although the part outside the city wall also belongs to the territory of Yu State, because it is an uninhabited wasteland, Yu State usually does not pay attention to it.
If the previous declaration of war was a test, then the presence of the Daxia army in the territory of Yu State is a complete break.
Xia Yan still doesn't know Yu Guo's attitude, but most likely he will become angry. If it's not specific enough, he still needs to read the letter.
"Come on, show me."
Then Eunuch Luo looked at Xiao Haozi and immediately presented the letter.
Xia Yan briefly looked through the contents of the letter.
The general content is that the king of Yu State was very puzzled by Xia Yan's sudden attack with troops.
Although the State of Yu used to ask Daxia to pay tribute to some gifts every year, most of them were worthless things.
So much so that he couldn't understand why Daxia suddenly treated Yu State as its number one enemy this time.
What is even more considerate is that Wei Yu has customized a "Call for Thieves".
Although he was a little confused as to where Da Xia's courage came from, the king of the Yu State expressed that he was greatly shocked and suggested that Xia Yan go to a spiritual doctor from the Yu State to have his brain checked.
Finally, the king of Yu State also said that since Daxia wanted to fight, Yu State would definitely not hold back and would definitely fight Daxia happily.
But at this moment, there are troublesome things in the Yu Kingdom, so they will not go out of the city to fight for the time being. If Xia Yan really wants to fight, then the two sides are scheduled to fight outside the gate of the Yu Kingdom in ten days, with real swords and guns!
Xia Yan looked at the envelope and whispered silently.
"This kid, he's in a hurry, he's in a hurry!"
The sound was not loud, but Eunuch Luo heard it and curled his lips on the spot.
Nonsense, you've already arrived at someone's door, why shouldn't they be in a hurry?
Soon Xia Yan did not look at the envelope again, but continued to ask Xu Jing: "Where are the 20,000 people stationed?"
"Well, it's all there."
Xia Yan looked at the envelope in his hand, then looked at Xu Jing, and said quietly.
"They don't want to fight us, and they won't come out to fight us for ten days. Do you have any ideas?"
"No."
"...You are quite honest."
Xia Yan rolled his eyes, Xu Jing's actions were a little unexpected.
But Xu Jing quickly continued to speak.
"Their city wall is too thick. We can't tear it down. If he says ten days, then we might as well wait for ten days and give him a good fight!"
Hearing this, Xia Yan smiled bitterly, "That's all it can do."
Hearing this, Xu Jing nodded and continued: "Your Majesty, our 20,000 bows will be delivered to the war zone in two or three days. But I don't know where to get the arrows now that we have the bows?"
"Arrow? You ask me about this thing?"
When Xia Yan said this, Xu Jing's eyes widened, looking at Xia Yan as if Wuyu's own mother opened the door for Wuyu, and Wuyu arrived home.
You gave us bows, but you didn’t give us arrows. What’s the point of playing?
Xia Yan didn't seem to care about this look.
Soon, Xu Jing could only say helplessly: "Then let's quickly place an order to make some arrows?"
Most of the time, it is not that the production is slow. For example, like the craftsmen Yuan Liyang found to make bows before, the actual time to make the bow is only a few days. More often, it is necessary to prepare materials and molds.
Only when all the materials are ready can progress be made quickly.
If we start preparing now, by the time of the decisive battle ten days later, we may only be able to make 10,000 or so arrows.
It would have been enough in the past, but now Daxia has an army of more than 20,000 people.
What can 10,000 arrows do? There are 0.5 arrows per person, and the remaining people draw their bows and shoot rocks?
The more Xu Jing thought about it, the angrier he became. He was really impressed by you, the old man. When I asked you to make arrows, you didn't make them. Now you say you have to think of a way. What the hell were you doing!
Xia Yan, who was above, felt secretly happy when she saw Xu Jing like this, but she still looked slightly unhappy when she looked at Xu Jing.
"You guys from the Ministry of War will figure it out on your own. The Ministry of Household Affairs has been very busy with the birth of Chinese children recently."
Xu Jing was almost dumbfounded after hearing this. If you don't let the Ministry of Household Affairs prepare the supplies, why don't you let the Ministry of War prepare them ourselves? How do you prepare this? Are you trying to coax yourself to change? I am not a little devil fairy!
Xu Jing was not feeling well. His face looked as if he had eaten five kilograms of Ollie, but Xia Yan looked nonchalant.
"Let this be the case. I believe you can do it. Tell the soldiers that the decisive battle will take place in ten days and they must act according to the situation."
Xia Yan felt that he had made it very clear, so he just had to tell Xu Jing directly to let them run away when the time came.
After saying this, Xia Yan has already begun to think about a better future.
He could already imagine what would happen next.
Ten days later the army was defeated due to lack of equipment, and the army either fled or was captured.
Later, the State of Yu would definitely use this to ask for more benefits from itself, but he refused to give them, and even had to write a letter to the mother of the monarch of the State of Yu.
After such operations, Yu State would be really stupid if he didn't come to attack Daxia.
No matter how you look at it, my strategy this time is absolutely correct.
Now, I just need to wait slowly for the ten days to arrive.
If nothing unexpected happens, within twenty days at most, I can return to my previous life and enjoy a small goal to compensate myself.
At that time, I can return to the modern society I am familiar with.
I have equipped him with all the things that should be included in a luxury car and a mansion. As for beauties, I have to find a few more and make sure they stay overnight at my home!!
Thinking about it, Xia Yan giggled and drooled while looking at the group of people below with their mouths agape.
Finally, after Eunuch Luo reminded him, Xia Yan realized his gaffe and quickly wiped his saliva.
"Anyway, that's it. I've already got the bow for your military department. I don't care how you get the arrows together. You can figure it out on your own. I believe you can do it!"
After finishing speaking, Xia Yan took a deep sip of Huazi, with an expression of great enjoyment.
"You can figure out what happens next. Since there won't be a war within ten days, there is no need to report to me about the front line."
Just as he stood up, he suddenly thought of something and asked casually: "By the way, how is the boat? Is it being built?"
The warship was naturally supervised by Yuan Liyang's Household Department, but at the moment he was too anxious to pay attention to the warship. However, he had to answer Xia Yan's words, so he could only sigh.
"Your Majesty, the warship will be completed in about seven days."
"Well, spend a little more money and let them paint it black so it doesn't look too obvious. By the way, you can add a few rows of wheels under the boat so it can slide on land!"
After saying that, Xia Yan quietly retreated from the court while playing a little tune with his hands behind his back, leaving a group of old men stunned.
There is a war, there are no arrows, and the emperor doesn't care, what can we do?
No matter how you look at it, there is nothing you can do, it’s a long time ago!! This chapter has been completed!
