Eagles were circling, and their shrill chirps covered the sky above the Guangming Palace in the capital of the Jin Kingdom.
The already somewhat depressing atmosphere in the Guangming Hall of the Kingdom of Jin became even more depressing amidst the sudden calls of falcons.
Hui'er, who was serving on the Queen's side, shot towards the outside of the Guangming Palace with an arrow. She stood on the steps outside the palace and put her fingers in her lips and blew a long whistle.
The falcon hovering over the Guangming Palace screamed, and swooped down towards Hui'er's position. It suddenly flashed its majestic and powerful wings more than ten steps away, stopped its dive, and landed firmly on Hui'er's shoulder.
Above, he combed his feathers with sharp falcons.
Hui'er couldn't wait to remove the bamboo tube from the falcon's leg, raised her arms, and let the falcon fly away.
Hui'er turned around and ran towards the dragon platform in the palace. Under the worried looks of the officials, she respectfully handed the information to the queen: "Your Majesty, information."
The Queen took the information from Hui'er with a calm expression, as if she had already expected this day.
In front of all the officials, the Queen took out the letter from the bamboo tube and read it.
Even though the Queen had already been mentally prepared, when she read the information clearly, she still couldn't help but frown and her heart trembled.
The dragon's millions of troops have joined forces and have crossed Shanhaiguan and are approaching the Kingdom of Jin. In about three days, they will approach the city and the army will press the border.
Looking at the four dazzling words "join forces", although the queen was calm on the outside, her heart was already turbulent.
Thinking back to last year, Dalong's soldiers and horses were divided into two groups, and they had already overwhelmed the Jin Kingdom's troops and attacked. They forced their own side to retreat steadily, and had to fortify the walls and clear the country. Several cities of the Jin Kingdom were burned to the ground and turned into scorched earth.
Now that Dalong's millions of troops are united in one place, and they are using all their strength to attack only one part of their own Kingdom of Jin, how can they withstand Dalong's powerful army?
Although they have already privately negotiated with the Turkic goblins to unite against the enemy and resist this disaster of annihilation of the country.
But now that the dragon is so powerful, will the little goblin keep his promise?
If she saw that the Turks were temporarily safe and suddenly changed her mind and betrayed the Jin Kingdom, wouldn't the Jin Kingdom be destined to die under the dragon's iron cavalry and be completely destroyed?
From then on, it disappeared under this blue sky and became a strong mark in the history books.
The more the Queen thought about it, the more confused she became. She firmly believed that with her understanding of the little goblin, she could not betray her trust and just wait for her death to happen.
But in such a critical situation, the Queen always has random thoughts involuntarily.
Wanyan Chizha watched the Queen grow up from a young girl, so how could he not understand the Queen's nature?
Although the Queen appears calm on the surface, the Queen's shining eyes have betrayed her.
Wanyan Chiezha also guessed something from the Queen's eyes.
With a silent sigh, Wanyan Chizha walked back holding the Chao Hut.
"Your Majesty, I dare to ask, but the army is approaching?"
The queen came back to her senses, glanced at the officials in the palace who were all staring at her, and nodded silently.
"That's right, Dalong's million-strong army has crossed the border and marched north. In less than three days, they will enter our territory of Dajin and march to the city. And this northern expedition is different from the past. Dalong has concentrated its forces and mainly attacked our Jin country."
As soon as the Queen finished speaking, the Jin Kingdom's court suddenly became silent. Even Wanyan Chizha, a veteran commander who had experienced many battles, inevitably looked a little dazed for a moment.
Millions of soldiers are attacking the Jin Kingdom. How to resist the attack?
Last year, in order to preserve our troops, we retreated bravely under the attack of Dalong and paid a huge price to finally retain 90% of our troops.
However, the Jin Kingdom currently only has more than 400,000 soldiers, not even half the strength of Dalong's troops.
If it had not been for the artillery, Wanyan Chizha believed that he and Yeruha could have used the city wall to block the dragon's attack for more than a year and a half.
But Dalong has countless unreasonable artillery in his hands. Even if he fights to the death, he may not be able to hold on for a hundred days!
No matter how strong the city wall is, it can't stop the artillery bombardment in the hands of Dalong's soldiers and horses.
Once the advantage of the city wall is gone, the geographical advantage will inevitably be lost.
In this way, how can 400,000 soldiers and horses be an opponent with twice and a half soldiers and horses?
Wanyan Chiezha looked sad. He raised his hands and rubbed his temples, thinking about countermeasures. However, in the end, he had no clue at all.
"The little emperor Dalong is so ungrateful that he blatantly betrays his trust and goes to war against me, Dajin, without declaring it. He is actually an unprincipled and cowardly king who has been abandoned by both humans and gods.
Last year, we clearly accepted the gold, silver and jewels that we pledged to negotiate for peace with, but this year, you are so unethical and are at war with me for a large sum of money.
It goes against the style of a great country, and goes against the name of the Holy Emperor, the king of a great country!"
Ba Gushu, the minister of Honglu Temple in the Kingdom of Jin, beat his hands and stamped his feet and cursed openly in the court hall.
Last year, he obeyed the Queen's order and led the delegation to go to Dalong in severe cold and snow to surrender. Dalong also agreed to accept the gift, but he did not expect to commit such a breach of trust in the blink of an eye.
All the officials looked at Baku Shu's indignant expression and shook their heads and sighed.
Justice does not depend on the human heart; right and wrong depend on strength.
Now that the initiative is no longer in the hands of the Jin Kingdom and the Turks, what can Dalong and others do if he betrays his promise?
Apart from cursing a few words to satisfy my cravings, how can I stop the visiting enemy even if my voice is hoarse?
Bakushu cursed for a while and then calmed down.
He is not a fool, and naturally understands that the current situation of the Jin Kingdom is no longer decided by him and others.
"Your Majesty, I have failed to live up to your Majesty's high expectations and wasted countless gold, silver and jewels. I still attracted the dragon's troops to march north to press the country. Please punish me."
The Queen looked at the sad-looking Baku Shu and raised her hand to signal him to return to his original position.
"Sir, the fault for this matter is not yours, so you don't need to blame yourself."
"Alas...Your Majesty is wise, thank you for your forgiveness."
"My lords, I don't know if anyone has a good strategy for fending off the enemy. You might as well speak out on the spot."
All the officials looked at each other, but no one spoke first.
Who can think of a good strategy to defend against the enemy at this time?
The Queen looked at the silent expressions of the officials, a flash of disappointment flashed in her eyes.
Is it true? Heaven is about to reach the great gold and death.
"Songhe Aiqing!"
"I'm here."
"Immediately after the dispersal of the dynasty, the Golden Eagle sent a message to the Turkic Taichang Khan, informing her of the incident in full and asking her to send troops to help."
"Old minister, I obey the order!"
Song He retreated to his seat, his face still wilted, not at all relieved by the Queen's words.
At this moment, he and the Queen had the same idea.
Under such a situation, will the Turks really support the Jin Kingdom and jointly fight against the enemy?
Like the Queen, he had no confidence in his heart.
"My dear friends, in three days, the dragon's million-strong army will attack the territory in less than three days. I hope you can come up with a good strategy to defend against the enemy within three days.
As long as we can resist the enemy and relieve our big gold dilemma, I am willing to seal the territory and split the land to reward those who have made meritorious deeds."
"Let's retreat from the court now. The Ministry of War, all the leading soldiers will take the lead in passing on my instructions and temporarily use the previously agreed methods to defend against the invading enemy."
"I obey the decree and respectfully send you off to Your Majesty. Long live, long live."
The Queen glanced at the officials in the palace one last time and shook her head silently.
"My beloved, Ye Ha, my dear, Wanyan Chizha, will stay here for the time being. I'll be waiting for you in the Master's Study Room!"
