Chapter 102 The barbarians are coming?

The atmosphere in Beixian County is becoming more and more depressing, and the dark clouds of war have shrouded the sky over Beixian County.

After the Beiwang Mansion issued a notice to strengthen the walls and clear the country, the people of Daxia had a new understanding of the Beiwang.

People did not expect that King Bei actually planned to lead 30,000 soldiers to fight to the death with the 300,000 barbarian cavalry in Yancheng.

The once uneducated, lustful and incompetent King Bei suddenly stood up, which made everyone in Daxia feel incredible, especially the officials in the court.

People can't help but wonder if King Bei is really willing to fight and die for Beijun?

That's 300,000 cavalry!

How could 30,000 people stop it?

Is it possible that the uneducated, lustful and incompetent King Bei actually has a lot of backbone?

Although he spends a lot of time and is greedy for pleasure, is he actually a good prince?

At the same time, the assassination of the eighth prince was instantly suppressed by King Bei's declaration of life and death. It seemed that in people's eyes, it no longer mattered who the eighth prince was assassinated.

What the people of Daxia want to know most now is whether the Northern King can hold off the barbarians' 300,000 troops until the imperial army goes north to support them.

As for the battle for the heir in the capital, most people didn't care much. It could be said that Lu Chen's announcement directly focused everyone's attention on Beijun and on him personally.

This was the first prince since the founding of the Xia Dynasty who dared to lead 30,000 soldiers to fight the barbarians to the death, and he was also a prince who was once considered a waste.

This made the Eighth Prince Lu Shuyun extremely angry. The North King attracted all attention to Beijun, and almost no one cared about what happened to him.

His mansion was bloodbathed, but people didn't care. The key is that the Ministry of Justice has been investigating for so long, but there is no clue about the assassins. It's as if the assassins disappeared out of thin air.

There are even rumors in the market that he acted all this in order to get Emperor Xia to notice him. This is a pure and cruel trick.

Hearing these rumors, Lu Shuyun's lungs almost exploded with anger. His mansion was bathed in blood, and even the grandmaster arranged by the Wang family to protect him was killed. Some people actually said that this was a cruel trick.

Whoever plays the trick of killing the master of his own power will kill him!

A grandmaster can stand up to thousands of warriors, and only those with a sick mind would sacrifice the grandmaster for a cruel trick.

…

Daxia Dynasty.

The realm of King Qi.

An army wearing red armor was marching quickly, approaching Yancheng.

After being delayed for so long in the capital because of food and grass, Lin Xiuming finally led the court's 70,000 elite soldiers north to resist the barbarians.

He had asked the soldiers to march with all their strength, in order to join the King of the North before the barbarians arrived at Yancheng.

Their 70,000 soldiers plus the tens of thousands of soldiers from Beijun, there are still hundreds of thousands of soldiers.

Although they are no match for the barbarians when they go out to fight in the city, they still have no problem guarding a few key cities. As long as they hold on, they can buy time for the various vassal kings of Daxia to send troops.

Especially King Qi, who is closest to Beijun.

If King Qi does not send troops, the barbarians can directly enter King Qi's fiefdom, so King Qi must be the first among the vassal kings to send troops. With King Qi's army, their chances of winning will be greater.

Lin Xiuming, who was riding a horse, looked at the lower and lower mountains in the distance and knew that they were not far from Beijun. Lin Xiuming was a little worried. He didn't know what the current situation in Beijun was like.

Have the barbarians entered Beijun? Did the soldiers of the Northern King hold on to the city? Has King Bei been so frightened that he ran away? He didn't know all this.

After setting off from the capital, they had not received any information from Beijun, so he was worried now.

If the King of the North abandoned his people and fled south, and the soldiers of the King of the North did not hold on to the city and lost the key cities that resisted the barbarians' southward march, then it would be nothing more than a dream for their 70,000 soldiers to hold the North County.

Especially Yancheng.

Yancheng is located below the Wanning River Valley. If the barbarian cavalry wants to go south, it is very likely that they will pass through the Wanning River Valley.

If Yancheng is still there and they defend Yancheng, the barbarian soldiers will not be able to go south for a while, and it will take time to make a detour.

If Yancheng is lost, the barbarians can march straight in and directly enter King Qi's fiefdom.

By that time, if Daxia did not gather hundreds of thousands of troops, there would be no way to drive the barbarians out of Beijun.

Just when Lin Xiuming was looking at Beijun worried, a soldier on horseback came to Lin Xiuming with a bamboo tube containing intelligence.

"General, information from North County."

Hearing this, Lin Xiuming was startled. He took the bamboo tube out of the soldier's hand, then took out the information inside and read it carefully.

After seeing King Bei remove all the defenses north of Yancheng, Lin Xiuming's face instantly turned pale.

Is King Bei crazy?

All the defenses north of Yancheng were actually abolished. Without those cities as a buffer, the barbarian troops would be directed towards Yancheng.

How could the few soldiers in Yancheng be able to stop the barbarian army of 300,000 people!

Shrinking the defense line is not like this.

The barbarian cavalry can march much faster than them. If the barbarians directly resisted Yancheng without any obstruction.

I am afraid that when the imperial army arrives at Yancheng, it will not be them defending the city, but the barbarians.

At this time, Lin Xiuming seemed to have seen the scene of losing the war in the North and then being dealt with.

Although he is the son of the prime minister, he cannot shirk responsibility for the defeat of the war. Even if it is not his responsibility, Emperor Xia will definitely find someone to take responsibility.

King Bei is the prince and represents the face of the royal family. We can't let King Bei take the responsibility.

In the end, the only person who takes responsibility may be himself, the general who led the troops north.

Lin Xiuming was very angry at this time. He really wanted to see Queen Bangbang of the North punch him twice.

However, when Lin Xiuming saw the intelligence that King Bei led Yancheng's soldiers to fight to the death with the barbarians, most of Lin Xiuming's original resentment towards King Bei disappeared instantly.

He frowned and scanned the information in front of him repeatedly.

Lin Xiuming found it incredible that a useless prince suddenly had such an awakening.

If Bei Wang really resisted desperately, maybe by the time they arrived at Yancheng, Bei Wang could still be saved.

If the Northern King's will is not firm and the morale of the army is shaken, then the Northern King will either die or be captured by the barbarians.

After a while, Lin Xiuming came to his senses, and then said loudly: "Speed ​​up the march! We must meet up with King Bei before the barbarians arrive at Yancheng!"

…

North County.

Yancheng, North Palace.

Lu Chen was in the study carefully reading the information about Yelu Nanyan and Xiao Wenyao sent by Wu Yuan.

Yelu Nanyan's information was what Lu Chen was most interested in. Yelu Nanyan, a woman, could have such a high status in the tribe of the Heavenly Wolf King, and could also make the Heavenly Wolf King listen to her so much. It was obvious that she was indeed very good. Not simple, not an ordinary woman.

At this moment, a soldier's voice suddenly sounded from the door of the study, "Your Majesty, something serious has happened!"

Hearing Mu Changtian's urgent voice, Lu Chen immediately said: "Come in."

The soldier immediately pushed the door open and entered. Before Lu Chen could ask, the soldier took the initiative and said, "Your Majesty, a cavalry force in the Wanning Valley is rapidly approaching Yancheng! They are suspected to be the vanguard cavalry of the barbarians!"

Because this book was first published in QQ, the QQ rating is quite important.

In the future, for every ten five-star positive reviews on QRead, I will add an update.

When you just need to comment, just give five stars. It's very simple.

I also recommend a novel of the same type, "Many Children, Many Blessings, Starting from the Domain King to Fight for Hegemony in the End of the World". It is a novel about the end of the world in ancient times, like my book, about fighting for world supremacy. It is also a harem novel. If you like this kind of novel, you can have a look.
