Chapter 204: Three Kingdoms Attack Yue

"This good nephew of mine has been completely deceived by her. He thought An Guo could help them, the Kingdom of Yue. Now he is still haggling over the terms, unaware that she has already finalized the selection of the generals to attack the Kingdom of Yue."

While Ning Cen and Ning Qingwu were on their way to defect, Ji Lingyan received a secret letter from An Guo.

Zhu Yuanhe, who was reporting on the Liao army's progress, saw Ji Lingyan's happy expression and felt a slight stir in his heart. He raised his head and asked, "What makes Your Majesty so happy?"

Ji Lingyan picked up the secret letter and handed it forward, his lips curled up slightly, with a hint of joking, "I hope you will take a look at it, my dear."

Zhu Yuanhe stepped forward respectfully, took the letter from Ji Lingyan with both hands, and read it carefully.

"His Majesty An Guo is truly insidious and cunning. He's like an old fox at such a young age."

She is born with a fairy-like appearance, but her actions are extremely evil. She has no sense of morality and only cares about profit.

It’s true that people should not be judged by their appearance.

After reading the last word of the letter, Zhu Yuanhe placed the letter next to Ji Lingyan's hand and then stepped back.

"It seems that the three kingdoms are attacking Yue together. I'm afraid Yue is doomed this time. I wonder how long they can hold out."

Ji Lingyan nodded slightly, "Yes, then Anguo will be able to share some of our troops. This way, the pressure on our two countries' coalition forces will be greatly reduced. By the way, where did you just leave off, Lord Zhu?"

Zhu Yuanhe quickly replied, "Your Majesty, I was just discussing the progress of the Liao army. Their food and fodder are about to arrive at the border, and the army set out a few days ago. It's expected to arrive there in five days."

The Liao Kingdom was far away and time was pressing, so it took quick action as soon as the alliance was reached.

Ji Lingyan nodded in satisfaction. "Very good, then we can start the action now. Notice them and we'll set off to meet them tomorrow."

Zhu Yuanhe cupped his hands and replied, "Yes, Your Majesty, I will arrange it right away."

Seeing the man about to turn around and leave, Ji Lingyan stopped him, "Wait a moment."

Zhu Yuanhe immediately stopped, turned around and asked respectfully, "Your Majesty, do you have any further instructions?"

Ji Lingyan pondered for a moment, a calculation flashing in his eyes. "Send an envoy to the Kingdom of Yue and have him provoke Ji Xun into death. Then our army will be able to march out with justification and a legitimate reason."

This method has been one of the most commonly used means of attacking since ancient times.

In peacetime, envoys must not be killed. If they are killed, it means that the country is dissatisfied with the envoy and wants to provoke a war, which gives them a reason to send troops.

Such envoys are also called the suicide squad, sacrificing one person to benefit the entire clan.

Zhu Yuanhe nodded, "Yes, I will go and select a suitable envoy to ensure this goes smoothly."

Ji Lingyan waved his hand and said, "Go ahead, don't delay the opportunity."

Zhu Yuanhe hurriedly retreated and began to arrange various matters.

After Zhu Yuanhe left, Ji Lingyan took out a map to check the Kingdom of Yue. The two countries' coalition forces each sent out 350,000 troops, totaling 700,000 troops.

Now with An Guo added to the list, according to the secret letter just sent, the number of troops sent by An Guo will be 200,000.

In this way, they and the Liao Kingdom each accounted for 40% of the Yue Kingdom, and the An Kingdom accounted for 20%.

The territory annexed by Anguo was not too much. After each side had rested for a while, they would join forces with the Liao Kingdom to attack Anguo.

Ji Lingyan touched the map, a sharp glint in his eyes.

On the other side, An Guo was also discussing sending troops to attack the State of Yue.

"Your Majesty, if nothing unexpected happens, Yu and Liao will definitely start attacking Yue within seven days." said Lord Tong, who is in charge of intelligence.

Yun Zhi nodded and looked at the few ministers below. "It seems we should also start preparing. General Li, please be prepared. We will set out in three days."

Li Shun, who was called, immediately responded, "I obey your orders and will definitely fulfill my mission!"

Liu Anruo below estimated the time in his mind. Now that the territory of An State has expanded, it will take another six or seven days for the army to arrive. In this way, the army of An State will arrive at the border with Yue State just a few days after the two countries' coalition forces started fighting.

At that time, we took advantage of the situation and captured several cities by surprise.

only……

Liu Anruo looked up at Yun Zhi, "Your Majesty, the title of this expedition is..."

"The reason?" Yun Zhi smiled softly. "Of course it was the Yue Kingdom that provoked us first, invading our borders and disturbing the peace of our people."

After all, in a day or two, Ning Cen will be able to arrive at the border of Anguo with his 200,000 troops, and their Yue military flag cannot be fake.

When the time comes, just put it on Ji Xun.

Liu Anruo understood and nodded quickly, "Your Majesty is wise. This way, our army can go out on a quest with a legitimate reason."

After Liu Anruo finished speaking, Hu Zhiyi stepped forward and bowed, saying, "Your Majesty, the envoys from Yue are still here. They have agreed to our conditions and would like us to help them immediately."

Yun Zhi snorted lightly. The conditions she proposed were pressing on Yue State's line, and they would never agree to it so quickly. If they agreed after hesitating for a few days, there was only one possibility.

"Agree? I'm afraid it's just a pretense. They'll delay them for a few days, and then say that we Anguo don't want to help them and let them go back to where they came from."

Hu Zhiyi replied, "Your Majesty is wise. I will make the arrangements right away."

After everything was arranged, Yun Zhi turned her gaze to Li Shun, "General Li, I will add another 100,000 troops to this expedition. I hope you can live up to my expectations and return victorious."

In fact, Yun Zhi originally planned to send 300,000 troops, but was afraid that other countries would find out and respond, so he told them that day that he would send 200,000 troops.

Now, with so little time left, it would be useless for them to send the message back.

Although Li Shun was surprised by Yun Zhi's sudden addition, he immediately responded, "Your Majesty, rest assured. I will fight to the death and expand the territory for An Guo!"

Yun Zhi nodded, "Alright, nothing else to worry about. My dear ministers, go down and prepare."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

The ministers walked out of the hall one after another and began to prepare their own affairs.
