Chapter 503: Hindsight, Choice and Reinforcements Finally Arrive
Mo'ao Calendar Year 136, December 28th, second half of the night
Wu Chuan Town, East Valley Camp, Main Building Top Floor Hall
"Pay respects to the Young Lord!"
Wu Chuan Young Lord Qin He flew in a hurry from the sky in the southwest. Ignoring the guards at the door, he rushed straight into the hall. As soon as he entered, he immediately bowed to his father Qin Feng at the head.
"Reporting to Father... Lord, Xiang Fuhai's 10,000 troops did not come to our East Valley. They changed their route and went southwest. It looks like they are going to the Fushan camp."
Wu Chuan Lord Qin Feng, Military Chief Ye Tianhao, and a middle-aged man dressed in green were standing on the flank of the hall. In front of the three of them was a giant map, and what was depicted on the map was the five northern towns.
Behind the three of them stood another nine people.
Hearing Qin He's words, everyone turned their heads to look at the map, and their faces suddenly showed a trace of disappointment.
"After all, he is a town lord, Xiang Fuhai is not that stupid!"
As soon as Ye Tianhao spoke, everyone in the hall nodded immediately.
Only Lord Qin Feng, after nodding, immediately snorted coldly and said: "It seems they are going to merge with Luo Yuan's 30,000 troops first. It seems Xiang Fuhai still has some self-knowledge. If his 10,000 troops dared to move west directly, my 50,000 troops in East Valley are not vegetarian..."
Everyone heard this, and their faces suddenly showed a trace of pride.
In order to deal with the Great Xia's advance this time, Wu Chuan Town conscripted a total of 60,000-odd Yuhan-level experts and sent 50,000 to station in the East Valley camp, which shows how much Lord Qin Feng attaches importance to the East Valley camp.
"With 50,000 heavy troops guarding the East Valley, the Great Xia's desire to open up the military supply line is just wishful thinking. We don't ask for a quick victory. As long as the two towns of Beishuo and Jin Shan are a little bit competitive and drag the Great Xia's two coalition armies, once the Xia army's military supplies are used up, they will be on a dead end!"
Qin Feng at this moment had a cold smile on his face.
It must be said that the Great Xia's development in the past two years has made him extremely jealous. He knows very well in his heart that with the Great Xia's current overall strength, it can form an absolute crushing force against any of the five northern families.
It's no joke. If there was only his Wu Chuan town in the north, Qin Feng wouldn't even think about it, he would definitely surrender to the Great Xia directly.
But there are five families, so the situation is different.
And there is support from the two major vassal states of Chen Cang and Cai Qiu. Although the two families cannot send large armies south to support for the time being, sending a certain number of Xianyang-level experts can also have the ability to influence the situation of the war.
Thinking of this, Qin Feng turned his head to look at the green-clothed middle-aged man on the right, his face showing a trace of confusion, and asked: "Mr. Cai, it's been two days. The reinforcements from the two vassal states should be almost here, right?"
Cai Yuntong nodded first, then frowned slightly: "Yunhe left the night before yesterday. It's been almost 20 hours. Even counting the time to mobilize people, it should be almost..."
The abduction of Xia Yu Sheng failed. The five northern towns originally had ghosts in their hearts, so on the night of the 26th, as soon as they received the news of the Great Xia's military adjustments, they immediately realized that the Great Xia was ready to take action.
The strength of the five northern towns, if united, can indeed wrestle with the Great Xia, but that is on paper. If they really fight, to be honest, including the three town lords in the north, Qin Feng, they have no bottom in their hearts.
So, asking for reinforcements from the two major vassal states is almost without suspense.
In fact, they don't even need to open their mouths.
On the night of the 26th, in the action of abducting Xia Yu Sheng in Xia City, Chen Cang's Chu Xuankong lost both arms, Cai Qiu's Cai Shiqi was almost killed, and the two vassal states died a total of 17 Xianyang-level experts.
This abduction action was actually initiated by the two vassal states. They didn't even let the Xianyang-level experts of the five northern towns participate, only bringing Yang Jian, who was familiar with the situation in Xia City.
From this point, it can be seen that the two vassal states didn't take the Great Xia seriously at all.
The result was that they were severely slapped in the face by the Great Xia.
Chu and Cai hated the Great Xia to the bone. Before receiving the news of the Xia army's adjustments, they had already decided to return to the vassal states to ask for reinforcements.
Because Wu Chuan is sandwiched between the two towns of Jin Shan and Beishuo, there is no channel to the two vassal states, but this does not mean that Qin Feng knows nothing about the news of the vassal states. He himself has been to the two vassal states, so he knows very well the distance between the two vassal states and the southern foothills area.
Looking at the north of Dongchuan and the Yinhe Valley of Jin Shan, he frowned slightly, secretly pondering in his heart: "Cai Qiu people come slowly, which is understandable. There is a certain risk in walking the Bone Erosion Road, and the distance is much farther. Calculating the round trip and mobilizing people, it will take at least two days or more;
But Chen Cang shouldn't be! Xianyang-level experts rush on the road. From Danxue Peak in the north of Dongchuan, through the Nine-Curve Blood Corridor to Yan Ling County, the normal speed is seven to eight hours. The round trip will not exceed sixteen hours at most. Even if the county governor has to mobilize people from elsewhere, twenty hours should be almost enough. Why has it been so long and they haven't come yet?"
Qin Feng pondered for a moment without results, finally looked at the four-route Xia army marked on the map, clenched his fists slightly, and a trace of annoyance appeared in his eyes.
If possible, he actually didn't want to borrow the power of the vassal states to resist the Great Xia.
As the saying goes, it's easy to invite a god but hard to send him away...
The Xia armies in Jin Yang and Dongchuan are bloody examples. If the vassal states really send a large number of Xianyang-level experts down, even if they finally defeat the Great Xia, how should their five towns treat themselves in front of the two vassal states in the future?
The two major vassal states didn't even mention any conditions for providing reinforcements this time.
Not mentioning conditions is the biggest condition.
Qin Feng has been a lord for so many years, how can he not understand this truth.
"Hateful, it's only been four years since moving east, and they have such strength..."
If the previous nine towns in the southern foothills, the six towns in the central and southern parts were foils, then the three northern towns were the absolute protagonists. Qin Feng and Yang Zun rose at the same time. Both of them grew from village-level camps to town-level under the high-intensity pressure of Jin Shan Town.
Yang Zun is amazingly talented, and is he, Qin Feng, a mediocre person?
"Whether it is destiny or foil, it depends on this time. The vassal state army cannot move south, which is ultimately a long-term concern. The Great Xia is the threat close at hand. If we can borrow the power of the vassal states to destroy the Great Xia and then divide it, my Wu Chuan will be united, and it is not impossible in ten years..."
"Lord, big event, big event!"
Qin Feng's thoughts were interrupted by someone who rushed into the hall.
"Old Four, what are you panicking about?"
Seeing that it was his fourth brother Ye Tianwu who rushed in from outside the hall, Ye Tianhao immediately reprimanded in a deep voice. The war is imminent, and the Xianyang-level powerhouse showing such a flustered posture will inevitably affect the morale of the army.
Others in the hall naturally knew this truth, so their brows all sank slightly.
Ye Tianwu didn't pay any attention to his eldest brother's reprimand at all, but opened his mouth with an anxious look: "There is news from the Longgu Town spies that the Longgu Town Military Chief Li Yangtian has rebelled, bewitched the 15,000 troops in the city to leave the city, and worked with the Great Xia from inside and outside…………"
And as Ye Tianwu told the story of Longgu Town city word for word, everyone in the hall, including Qin Feng, was instantly uneasy.
Bang…………
Their brains exploded with a bang, and then they looked at the map of the five northern towns on the flank, their pupils trembling constantly, their faces full of horror. ===== CHAPTER 504 =====
