King Ye Qin walked alone in the palace hall, looking anxiously at the gate from time to time, as if he was waiting for someone.

During the recent period, King Ye Qin had a very bad life. He couldn't eat or sleep every day, and he lost a lot of weight. All of this was due to his stupid decision.

Three months ago, King Ye Qin could no longer stand the oppression of the Northwestern Army of Daliang, but he did not have the courage to resist the powerful Daliang, so he discussed with his ministers a plan to divert trouble to the east.

Ye Qin sent envoys to Beidi, contacted the largest tribal leader there, and paid a huge price to induce Beidi to invade Daliang.

The original plan was for Ye Qin to take advantage of Beidi, and the two sides would jointly send troops to seize the entire northwestern region of Daliang, and then divide the territory equally.

Ye Qin was fed up with being a vassal state of Daliang. King Ye Qin had undue ambitions. He wanted to replace Daliang and become the most powerful country in the land.

Everything was going smoothly, but King Ye Qin missed something.

The Beidi barbarians have no integrity at all. Their target from the beginning was not Daliang, but the weak Ye Qin.

When Beidi's cavalry entered Ye Qin's territory, they immediately unilaterally tore up the alliance contract and turned their guns against Ye Qin, burning, killing, and looting.

King Ye Qin realized that the Beidi cavalry had marched straight in and occupied half of Ye Qin's territory.

The funny thing is, it was our own people who let these barbarians in!

King Ye Qin not only failed to complete his plan to divert disaster to the east, but instead attracted a hungry wolf to himself.

When Ye Qin organized his troops to block the Beidi barbarians, he was shocked to find that although the barbarians were dishonest, their cavalry combat effectiveness was really strong. No wonder a country as powerful as Dayu and Dayan could only stand firm in the face of Beidi.

Ye Qin's army was defeated and abandoned its armor, leaving less than [-] soldiers guarding the capital.

In desperation, King Ye Qin could only ask for help from the person he disliked the most.

When Yue Zhongqi, the commander of the Northwestern Army of Daliang, received a letter of help from King Ye Qin, he almost laughed out loud.

Since his original act of borrowing Beidi was a betrayal of Daliang, Yue Zhongqi opened his mouth to King Shizi of Ye Qin.

You can use the Northwest Army to repel the Beidi barbarians, but you must pay a large sum of gold.

The amount of gold was already the total revenue of Ye Qin's three-year treasury. King Ye Qin, who had only one capital left, could not afford it at all. He could only choose to stabilize Yue Zhongqi first, and then pin his hopes on King Jing of Daliang.

King Ye Qin had heard that Prince Jing of Daliang was upright and a humble gentleman. Perhaps Ye Qin's hope lies in this prince.

As soon as King Jing's support troops arrived, King Ye Qin sent Ye Lingzi to ask for help, hoping that King Jing could understand Ye Qin's difficulties and help them.

It was midnight after Ye Lingzi left, and King Ye Qin couldn't sleep at all.

Fortunately, Ye Lingzi Putang finally came back before dawn.

"What did Prince Jing of Daliang say?" King Ye Qin asked nervously when he saw Pu Tang.

Pu Tang knelt before King Ye Qin and said, "Wei Chen has persuaded King Jing, and he promised to send troops to repel the Beidi barbarians, but there is one condition."

King Ye Qin frowned and said, "What conditions."

Putang said: "10 taels of gold, and our country will bear the military expenses of sending troops to Daliang."

King Ye Qin breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this. King Jing's appetite was obviously much smaller than that of Yue Zhongqi, so Ye Qin could still come up with the 10 taels of gold.

"Okay, I agree to the conditions. You will reply to Prince Jing immediately." King Ye Qin said without hesitation.

Putang said guiltily: "Your Highness, please forgive me. I have already promised to Prince Jing on behalf of Your Highness."

The King of Ye Qin sighed deeply, and personally helped Pu Tang up and said: "You did the right thing, why are you guilty of this? On the contrary, I am Ye Qin's eternal sinner."

When King Yeqin proposed to use Beidi, Putang had opposed it, but at that time he was greedy for profit and did not listen to Putang's opinion.

"After this crisis, I will personally issue an edict to admit my mistakes to the people, abdicate the throne in favor of talents, and no longer interfere in political affairs." King Ye Qin sighed:
"I just hope that this time I can really lose money and avoid disaster!" The monarch and his ministers felt heavy. They understood that even if King Jing really defeated the Beidi barbarians, Ye Qin would not be able to recover within ten years.

"Your Majesty, don't worry, as long as we work together as one, we will be able to get through this difficulty." Putang said with relief.

King Ye Qin looked to the north worriedly and murmured to himself: "Will things really go well?"

.........

Daliang northwest military camp.

Yue Zhongqi woke up slowly. The hangover from last night gave him a headache. The two Yeqin women who had returned from the robbery were lying on the side lifeless.

"General Yue is in such a good mood. He is still thinking about romance and happiness at this time."

A startled voice made Yue Zhongqi jump up from his bed. He took a closer look and found Wang Gang, wearing battle armor, standing in the middle of his handsome tent.

"His Royal Highness Prince Jing." Yue Zhongqi was a little embarrassed. At this time, he was naked, which was really indecent.

Wang Gang glanced coldly at the two corpses on the bed, and suddenly shouted: "Yue Zhongqi, do you know your guilt!"

Yue Zhongqi was startled and subconsciously wanted to kneel down, but he quickly realized what he was doing.

"Your Highness Prince Jing, if the general knows that he has violated military discipline, he will punish himself with ten military sticks when he turns around." Yue Zhongqi said confidently.

He thought Wang Gang was blaming him for robbing Ye Qin girl.

In the past, this would have been a big deal, but now that Daliang and Ye Qin are at odds and two Ye Qin people are dead, it is really not worth mentioning.

"General Yue's crime is not just a matter of ten army sticks!"

Wang Gang threw out a piece of parchment, which was the secret letter between Yue Zhongqi and the Beidi people given to him by Putang.

The moment Yue Zhongqi saw the secret letter, his heart beat violently, and he quickly calmed down.

"Your Highness Prince Jing, please do not misunderstand. This secret letter is just a ploy by the general to hold back the Beidi barbarians. I have made an agreement with Ashina Shabi that Beidi will withdraw its troops soon."

Wang Gang said coldly: "In order to hold back the Beidi barbarians, do you care about the lives of the people on the border of Daliang?"

Yue Zhongqi broke out in a cold sweat and said: "Your Highness Prince Jing, the last general has communicated with the Beidi barbarians to join forces to force Ye Qin and obtain compensation. We only need to pay the price of four cities and we can earn back ten times.

When the time comes, I will write to the court and give you all the credit! "

"Asshole!" Wang Gang said angrily: "Do you think the people of the four cities can be measured by money?"

Yue Zhongqi argued: "Those four are just small border towns with a population of less than [-]."

Wang Gang couldn't listen any more and took out the long knife from his waist.

"I am the commander-in-chief of the Northwest Army personally appointed by the emperor. Even if you are the prince, you have no right to kill me!" Yue Zhongqi was frightened to death.

Wang Gang slowly walked towards Yue Zhongqi, raised his knife and dropped it, and a human head flew into the sky.

Yue Zhongqi never thought until his death that Wang Gang would really dare to kill him, the commander-in-chief of the Northwest Army.

After killing the people, Wang Gang walked out of the commander's tent, and Lie Zhanying said respectfully: "Your Majesty, the entire Northwest Army has been controlled by our people."

Wang Gang brought a long sword dripping with blood and said in a cold voice: "Tell the generals of the Northwest Army that if you don't want to be charged with collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country, let the soldiers get their weapons and we will kill the Beidi barbarians."

Lie Zhanying looked solemn.
