Chapter 1526 Unexpected

After the letter was sent away, Zhao Qian waited expectantly.

However, what he waited for was not a reply from Yelvzong, but another audience with Guan Fei.

"Your Majesty, the Shuiyue Kingdom's vanguard cavalry battalion attacked the Yanfeng Kingdom's wedding party!" Guan Fei said.

"What? So fast?" Zhao Qian said in shock.

Zhao Qian thought that even if the Shuiyue Kingdom's front cavalry battalion wanted to take action, they had to be prepared. After all, the enemies were of the same magnitude, and this matter was very important. Naturally, they had to plan carefully before taking action. Be sure.

Who would have thought that Shuiyue Kingdom's Front Cavalry Battalion would take action directly. Are they confident or arrogant?

But the problem is that the letter he wrote to Yelu Zong was just taken out by the air messenger, and it is still halfway there. If the Fengqi Battalion has completed its mission at this time, how can he get benefits from Shuiyue Kingdom? ?

"According to the news from the people below, after the Shuiyue Kingdom's Frontier Cavalry Battalion arrived near the Yanfeng Kingdom's station, they immediately launched an attack. The attack time was probably at dawn," Guan Fei replied.

In this time and space, there is obviously a certain lag in the transmission of information. Even the use of air messengers for transmission has limitations. It takes time for the message to be transmitted back from the front. This also results in the situation between Fengqiying and Yanfeng Kingdom. The bride-to-be team had already finished, and Guan Fei had just received the news here.

"What's the result?" Zhao Qian asked.

"Shuiyue Guofeng Cavalry Camp was defeated." Guan Fei said, with obvious surprise on his face: "It was a miserable defeat. Of the nearly 10,000 soldiers of the Front Cavalry Camp, only about 3,000 of them escaped successfully."

"Hiss!" Zhao Qian took a breath of cold air when he heard this, with the same surprise on his face.

Zhao Qian had also heard of the reputation of the Fengqi Battalion. Although the Fengqi Battalion was not the top elite force in the Yanfeng Kingdom, it was equally strong and powerful, and had won many victories on the battlefield.

However, now such an elite force has suffered such heavy losses. It can even be said that it has been injured. It is almost impossible to recover in a short period of time.

Is the Yanfeng Kingdom's bride-gathering team so strong?

How could he inflict such heavy damage on the elite Fengqi battalion?

"Moreover, this battle took place in the wild." Guan Fei added.

"How did they do it?" Zhao Qian asked in disbelief.

The battle takes place in the wild, which is the environment where the cavalry can best exert its combat effectiveness. Moreover, the time when the front cavalry battalion chooses to launch the battle is when it is getting dark. This is when people are most relaxed and sleepy.

With all these factors, how could you say that the final winner should be the Fengqi Battalion, but how could you say that the last winner was the Yanfeng Nation?

"I'm not very clear about the specific situation." Guan Fei replied: "The Shuiyue people and the Yanfeng people were fighting fiercely. My people didn't dare to approach the battlefield at all and could only watch from a distance. So, what happened on the battlefield? What happened, I don’t know yet.”

Zhao Qian frowned and paced back and forth. He was in a bad mood because he found that the development of things was completely different from what he expected. Not only did the Shuiyue Kingdom's army launch an attack in advance, but the people from the Yanfeng Kingdom actually won. In this way, not only would he not be able to benefit from Shuiyue Kingdom, he would also face the same fate as before, being divided between Yanfeng Kingdom and Tianji Kingdom.

Zhao Qian knew very well how much the emperors of Yanfeng Kingdom and Tianji Kingdom hated him in their hearts. If given the chance, they would never let him go.

"Do you know where the Shuiyue Kingdom's cavalry is now?" Zhao Qian asked.

"I don't know." Guan Fei shook his head and said, "After the defeat, Shuiyue Kingdom's front cavalry camp evacuated very quickly, and they were very vigilant. Maybe they were afraid of being caught up by people from Yanfeng Kingdom, and they were worried about the rear. The security was very tight, but our people finally lost track.”

At the beginning, the army of Shuiyue Kingdom had just entered Xiufeng Kingdom. Their target was only the bride-gathering procession from Yanfeng Kingdom, and they did not pay too much attention to other things. Therefore, at that time, even if they knew Xiufeng People from the Kingdom of Xiu Feng were following them, but they didn't take it too seriously because they knew very well that the Xiu Feng Kingdom didn't dare to attack them at all. As for reporting the news to the Yanfeng Kingdom's bride-grooming team, let's not say whether they would do that. , even if they knew how to do that, their front cavalry camp would still be able to get there first.

But after the defeat, the Fengqi Battalion obviously could not tolerate anyone following them. They had already suffered heavy losses. If another accident happened, it would very likely lead to the total annihilation of their already small number of people.

Therefore, no matter they are people from Yanfeng Country or Xiufeng Country, they will all intercept them.

The bride-gathering team from the Yanfeng Kingdom was actually okay, because they did not chase the Fengqi Battalion all the time. On the contrary, the Xiufeng Kingdom was attacked by the Fengqi Battalion because they followed too closely, and two spies were killed. , and finally lost the remaining members of the Fengqi battalion.

"Where is Yanfeng Kingdom's wedding party?" Zhao Qian continued to ask.

"They are resting, and they should continue their journey later." Guan Fei said: "With this incident, I think the Yanfeng Kingdom's bride-to-be team will be more cautious."

Zhao Qian became more irritable.

No, we can't just let it go. We must at least get a reply from Shuiyue Kingdom to see if they give up.

Thinking of this, Zhao Qian said loudly to the door: "Here comes someone."

A eunuch ran in.

"Send a message to the Ministry of Etiquette and ask them to be prepared to welcome the bride-to-be team from Yanfeng Kingdom. All etiquette must be in place and it will be grand for me." Zhao Qian ordered.

"yes."

After the eunuch finished his response, he walked outside to prepare to announce the decree.

"Guan Fei, select some smart and agile people from your people, do this..." Zhao Qian instructed Guan Fei.

Guan Fei listened carefully and kept Zhao Qian's words firmly in mind.

While Zhao Qian was busy preparing to welcome Zhao Qi's wedding procession, Yelu Zong, who was far away in Shuiyue Country, also received the letter sent by Zhao Qian earlier.

Seeing the content of the letter, Yelu Zong's first reaction was stunned, and then his face was full of sarcasm.

"This Zhao Qian is really as greedy as the legend says. Not only did he blackmail Yanfeng Country and Tianji Country, but now he actually pointed the spearhead at us. It's really... really stupid!" Yelu Zong sneered.

Yelu Zong had heard about Zhao Qian's reputation for greed, but he had not had much contact with Zhao Qian before, so his understanding of him was only in the stage of hearing about him.

But now, Zhao Qian actually sent a letter, and there were threats and demands for benefits between the lines, which made Yelu Zong somewhat amused and helpless. It was okay for Zhao Qian to blackmail Yanfeng Kingdom and Tianji Kingdom, after all, they were in that special position, but they didn't have much intersection with Shuiyue Kingdom. He actually came to ask for benefits, he was really crazy.
