"This is absolutely impossible!"
The main hall of Durai Palace is a huge earth and stone structure supported by four corner pillars.
The pillars and the top wall of the temple are decorated with exquisitely designed flying camels, eagles, sand snakes and other animals, and are filled with the language and incantations of the Kangyi people.
The light inside the palace is also dim and gloomy, just like the underworld.
There were as many as a hundred courtiers, and the atmosphere was prosperous.
Most of the Kangyi people's court meetings are held sitting on their own sheepskin mats, with each person taking a seat, and in front of them there is a low mat painted with colorful patterns.
The one who was speaking was the Protector-General of Kangyi, who was equivalent to the Prime Minister of Qin.
This man has a square face, wears a brown leather robe with a slanted front, and is around sixty years old.
His eyes were sharp and his voice was low, and he emphasized: "Even if a million troops are pressing down on the border, they cannot defeat our two big southern cities in one night!"
Among the courtiers, sitting at the head of the array opposite him was another minister in his fifties, with a sharp chin, deep-set eyes, and fine crow's feet at the end of his eyes. He said tit for tat:
"The two southern cities have been lost, and I have received definite news."
"Exact news? Did you see Shituo with your own eyes?" Da Duhu asked.
Shituo responded: "We, the protector of Greenmi City in the south of Kangyi, Wo Tie'er, heard a loud noise that shook hundreds of miles late last night, coming from Tashkent.
He sent people to investigate overnight and found that the city of Tashkent was completely occupied by black armored tribesmen."
"Wotie'er's people tried to contact other cities in the south, only to find that Tuomu had also been lost."
"By this morning, Wo Tieer asked the eagle to bring me news."
Shi Tuo Su Rong said: "A few days ago, we knew that the eastern countries were occupied by an eastern country called Qin. Qin could occupy the eastern countries. The changes in Tashkent and Tuomu last night should also be attributed to Qin.
for.
We need to prepare early."
In the main seat of the hall, the King of Ikang is sitting.
He is about forty-seven or eighteen years old, and he is the only person in the palace with a ruddy face and shining eyes. He is very different from the other courtiers who mostly have a sinister temperament due to their spiritual practice.
The current King Kangyi was a genius in spiritual practice. He also practiced Kangyi's two great national treasures, the Great Treasure Accumulating Soul Sutra, and the Ximing Sutra of the Best Yin King.
It is rumored that one of the two scriptures he practiced has exceeded the level of the "Ten Concentrations" used by Kangyi people to measure their realm. Its power is unfathomable, so it looks different from other people in Kangyi.
His status in the hearts of Kangyi people is no weaker than that of gods and demons!
He glanced at the ministers and said: "I have sensed that something has indeed happened in Tashkent. The aura of King Nanhu has disappeared from my perception."
There was a sudden silence in the hall!
The Great Protector thought for a while and said: "Even if something unexpected happened, it does not mean that the two cities were lost overnight.
Tashkent is the first fortified city in the south.
The south has always been an important town in Kangyi. More than a hundred years ago, the Yue clan came from Lanshi City and the Parthian Empire came from Mulu City to attack Kangyi, but they were still blocked outside the city of Tashkent.
Forty years ago, the Parthian Empire (Persia) was strong and powerful, and its borders expanded again and again. It also raised troops to attack Kanyi, but was also blocked from the defense lines of Tashkent and Tuomu.
The two cities of Tuomu and Tashkent have gone through wars, and they are the southern wall of Kangyi. Even if the Qin in the east is strong, can it be stronger than the Parthian state?"
The views of the Great Protector also represented the thoughts of most of Kangyi's courtiers.
It's not that they can't see the situation clearly, but that they still have an unprecedented fear hidden in their hearts.
If this is true... what does it mean to be able to defeat Tashkent and Takumu's opponents overnight?
This means that the opponent is stronger than Parthia further south.
It means Kang Yi has to face a terrifying existence that he cannot defeat.
This subconscious fear, combined with their confidence in the Tashkent and Tuomu defense lines, made them willing to believe that the news was not true and that there were other changes and hidden secrets until there was no conclusive news.
King Kangyi waved his hand: "Regardless of whether it is true or not, immediately mobilize troops and strengthen defenses on the southern front.
News will be sent back by noon at the latest to confirm whether Tashkent has really been lost.
Let’s break up now, and we’ll discuss it later when the confirmed news comes.”
The ministers dispersed, but King Kangyi sat on the throne without moving, with a gloomy look on his face.
He had a feeling that Tashkent and Tuomu might really be lost.
With his practice and state of mind, he was shocked by this reaction, and felt a chill in his heart.
A ring-shaped mark of Yin energy suddenly appeared between King Kangyi's eyebrows. It stretched out, blended with the void, and turned into a swirling entrance to space. The interior was like an abyss. It was so dark that it was difficult to see how deep it was. The Yin energy was permeating the air.
Like a vast ocean.
King Kangyi closed his eyes and looked into the abyss of space.
In the deepest part of space, something seems to exist.
The King of Kangyi looked humble and hummed an unknown scripture, as if he was praying for something in the abyss of space to provide him with guidance.
At noon, the news came.
Tashkent and Tuomu were indeed lost overnight and fell into human hands.
All the officials in Kangyi were shocked and frightened. The news was true. Two important cities in the south were destroyed, and the other party only used one night.
Even the Protector's face showed uncontrollable horror.
"I already know the process of the fall of Tashkent. Qin was able to defeat the two major cities in our south not by relying on military fronts, but because strong Qin men entered the city in advance and raided the Nanhu Mansion.
King Nanhu did not open the ghost realm in the city in time, replace the human city, and deploy defenses.
By the time he activated the Ghost Realm and replaced the city of Tashkent, the opponent had already reached the house, killed him, and the Ghost Realm was destroyed.
Therefore, it is not that the enemy is too strong to resist, but that King Nanhu made a mistake in his judgment."
The Lord of Kangyi had bright eyes and strong self-confidence: "Send an order to mobilize troops on the north and west fronts to go south to prepare for war with the Qin people.
The entrances to the Ghost Realm are hidden in the two cities of Tashkent and Tuomu. The Qin people don't know about it, so they can use the entrances to make a surprise attack on the cities and recapture the two cities in one fell swoop."
The ministers were slightly excited and agreed in unison.
In Du Lai's palace, orders were immediately sent to various places in Kangyi.
Gu Jie
Kang Yi mobilized all troops and horses to prepare for a showdown with Qin.
On the northern line of Dawan, there is a Feisha City.
At this time, on the top of the city, Li Xin, who had led the imperial army to set up defenses, was watching the orders sent by Lian Po through the mirror sentry.
After Li Xin read the order, he looked far into the distance and looked at the territory of Kangyi in the northwest.
"General Li, what did General Lian Po say?" asked a deputy general.
"General Lian Po led his troops to attack last night and captured the cities of Tashkent and Tuomu in Kangyi. He has opened a hole in the southern line of Kangyi. In the future, it is expected that the Kangyi people will counterattack with all their strength.
General Lian Po said that if the opponent sends heavy troops to the southern front, he will strengthen the defense, consume and contain the opponent's troops, and drag them on the southern front.
The order given to me by General Lian Po is that once the war starts on the southern front, our troops will attack the Kangyi people's eastern front from the northwest, and direct our troops towards the capital of Kangyi."
Li Xin looked around with bright eyes: "We are our Great Qin Forbidden Army, and we are Qin's most sharp Chang Ge!
All gentlemen, you should follow me, Li Xin, to open up new territories for your majesty for the Qin Dynasty!"
"Bang bang!"
The city wall behind him was full of veterans of the Forbidden Army.
The Forbidden Army is the most elite Qin army, and all of them have experienced hundreds of battles.
"For Qin, open up the territory and expand the territory; for Your Majesty, open up the territory and expand the territory!"
The shouts shook the sky, and the yellow sand flew up!
Time passes.
In mid-December, both the Kangyi and Qin armies mobilized their troops to confront each other on the southern front, and the war was about to break out.
On the northern line of Dawan, Li Xin and the Qin Imperial Army were waiting for each other. They only waited for the southern front to start, and then attacked to penetrate the eastern front of Kangyi and defeat the Kangyi people on all fronts!
The Qin army broke through the defenses and occupied Tashkent overnight, and the news of Tashkent had been fermented over the past few days.
