Chapter 34: The Four Nations in a State of Panic, the Army Mobilizes

  It's no wonder that Ding Yuan was delighted. After all, Che Long Guo was a small and weak country, and the 100,000-strong army had already emptied out the foundation of Che Long Guo.

  At this time, the destruction of Chehu State brought him such great wealth, and Ding Yuan's heart was even more confident.

  After consulting with Zhang Liao, Ding Yuan's ambition was also extremely large. Since they were going to do it, they might as well go big. After annihilating Che Hu Guo, Zhang Liao would command a 60,000-strong army, dividing the troops into two routes. One route would be commanded by himself, leading his central army, long spear corps and archers to occupy one country. The remaining nearly 40,000-strong army would be commanded by Xiang Lang, assisted by several Three Kingdoms dragon suit generals, using a thunderous momentum to suddenly attack and eliminate Che She Guo and Che Tu Guo beside Che Hu Guo. In this way, they could link the three countries on the north shore together, using the Dou Shou mountain range as a barrier to defend against Che Zhu Guo beside Che Tu Guo, making it possible for great things to happen!

  While protecting the Che Ma and Che Ji countries next to Che Long, as long as the three countries north of the Sheng Xiao River are stabilized, Zhang Liao and Xiang Lang can merge their troops, first destroying Che Ma, then destroying Che Ji. In this way, Che Long will gain control over six countries, enough to counter the alliance of other nations in the Sheng Xiao Valley!

  With joy in his heart, Ding Yuan loudly shouted: "Come on!"

  "Agreed!"

  A small eunuch rushed in and knelt down on the ground.

  "Order, all supplies in Chehu State are subject to the allocation of General Zhang Liao. All personnel must cooperate fully. Those who disobey will be killed without pardon!"

  Ding Yuan said in a loud and clear voice, "This opportunity is once in a lifetime. The surrounding countries have not reacted yet, and if we don't take them down now, it will be harder to get what we want later on, although it's still possible, but it will take more time and come at a greater cost. How can Ding Yuan bear such a long wait?"

  "Drunk and sleeping on a beauty's lap, awake and holding the power of the world!"

  This was Ding Yuan's greatest dream in this world, but as the lord of a small country, he simply didn't have the capital for it, just like when he met Liu Mei on Mount Beast, Ding Yuan knew that he couldn't possibly get involved.

  Xiao Tai listened to Ding Yuan's words without any hesitation and knew that this order was not to be disobeyed by anyone, so he immediately said: "Yes, sir!"

  …………

  In Chehu State, with the management of Che Long State's civil officials, Zhang Liao was finally able to lift martial law and devote himself to attacking the two neighboring states of Che Tu State and Che She State.

  At this moment, Che Lung's civil officials and new city guards are in charge. Zhang Liao's army has retreated three miles outside the city.

  In the great camp, Zhang Liao sat in the commander's seat, his expression cold and stern, saying: "General Xiang Lang is here!"

  "The end is near!"

  Toward Lang walked out of the military camp, clasped his fists and said.

  "General Lang, I order you to lead 40,000 troops to attack the eastern country of Che Shi. Can you accept this order?"

  Zhang Liao took out a token of command.

  "Orders received!"

  Xiang Lang said without hesitation.

  "Chen Ying, Huo Yan, Xiang Da, Cai Xing, the four generals will take orders!"

  The order will be given to Lang, Zhang Liao shouted.

  The four men came out together and said with clasped fists: "Your subordinate is here!"

  Zhang Liao drew out four tokens and said: "I order you four to assist General Xiang Lang, conquer the country of Che Shi, this is a great achievement!"

  "Orders received!"

  The four of them were deeply moved.

  One moment later, the big camp three miles outside of Chehu City was suddenly dismantled. The mighty army divided into two branches, one heading east and the other west, hastening away.

  The army of about 40,000 men marched eastward under the leadership of a great general whose name was unknown. Their morale was high and their spirits were soaring, as if they were an invincible force, with an aura that shook the heavens.

  The western army, with only 20,000 soldiers, but although there were only 20,000 people, and only one general in command, this large army had even higher morale, every soldier's face was full of confidence and the aura of a hundred battles, the number of people was small, but the feeling it gave was far greater than that of the 40,000-strong army.

  The 40,000-strong army heading east was led by Xiang Lang as the main general, with four Three Kingdoms dragon suit generals as deputy generals to conquer the Chebi State.

  The great army heading west was the expeditionary force against the Xiongnu led by Zhang Liao himself.

  Two mighty armies rushed past like lightning, and in an instant they were gone, leaving behind only the stillness of the vast empty plain.

  At this moment, Che Tu Guo, Che She Guo, Che Ji Guo and Che Ma Guo are all in a state of panic. Previously, Che Hu Guo sent an envoy to unite the various countries to resist the attack of Che Long Guo. The other countries were still hesitant, although Che Hu Guo had sent a hostage, they did not want to send troops. In their view, Che Long Guo was weak and feeble for a long time, even if there were 100,000 soldiers mobilized, it would be a hastily assembled army of the old, weak, sick and disabled, with little combat effectiveness, nothing to be feared.

  But now they were afraid, and before they could even refuse the envoys of Chehuguo, a shocking piece of news arrived: Chehuguo had been destroyed, all in just one short day. They didn't even have time to react before Chehuguo was annihilated!

  This news finally made them realize the horror of Che Long Guo, and it's likely that those 100,000 troops were indeed elite soldiers, not the weak and sickly they had imagined.

  At this moment, at the same time, the monarchs of the four countries were all in a state of panic, immediately summoning their ministers to discuss the matter urgently.

  The monarch of Che Tu Guo, Ruan Shi, was worried at this moment. He didn't have his usual calm and composed demeanor, but instead looked anxious and uneasy, saying: "My dear ministers, Che Hu Guo has been destroyed by Che Long Guo. Now our country may be invaded by Che Long Guo, what can we do about it?"

  All the ministers of Carrot Kingdom had never seen Your Majesty so panicked before, and they were also nervous.

  At this time, the Minister of War of Che Tu Guo stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, Che Long Guo's lightning-fast attack on Che Hu Guo must have also suffered heavy losses. Your Majesty doesn't need to be so panicked!"

  At that time, I thought my ministers had a good strategy, but it was just such a casual remark. He shouted in anger: "I heard the news, Che Long Guo has a talented commander, their soldiers have not suffered much damage, if they come to attack, how can our country resist!"

  "This...!"

  The Minister of War was suddenly speechless and looked very embarrassed.

  The monarch of Carrot Country saw this and waved his hand impatiently: "Alright, you can go down now!"

  Ruan Shi looked down on the Minister of War more and more, usually it was fine, but at critical moments, he was a rice bucket. Ruan Shi glanced at the Minister of War impatiently and said: "Now, who among you has a good strategy? I'll let him be the new Minister of War!"

  Upon hearing this news, the military general of Che Tu Guo's heart was stirred and one of the generals stepped forward: "Your Majesty, I am willing to lead troops to the border to resist the invasion of Che Long Guo's army. We will definitely not let them take a single step forward. If we fail, I am willing to die on the battlefield and never retreat!"

  "Good!"

  When I heard these words, I was overjoyed in my heart and said: "In that case, General Chen Tai will listen to the order. You will lead the two million troops of our country to resist the invasion of Che Longguo. If you succeed, you will be the new Minister of War, and as for the original Minister of War, let him retire!"

  Chen Tai was overjoyed in his heart and hastily clasped his fists together, saying: "Your humble servant vows to die defending against the great army of Cheolong!"

  At the same time, Che Ma Guo, Che She Guo and Che Ji Guo also had many generals who asked to take orders and led their armies to resist the invasion of Che Long Guo.

  …………

  Great rewards must have brave men, the four countries are full of those generals who want to get promoted and rich, they also think in their hearts that even if Che Long Guo has an army of 100,000, it's not necessarily going to invade their own country, so getting promoted and rich is not a dream, it's worth risking one's life for, if by luck they succeed, then they can immediately become the number one martial general, enjoying all kinds of glory!

  Among the four countries, the Carrot Country is the most powerful. Chen Tai thought to himself that he had 20,000 elite soldiers in the Carrot Country and didn't need to worry at all. He also thought that His Majesty was making a big deal out of nothing this time, and even the Car Dragon Country wouldn't dare to invade the Carrot Country!

  To know that the population of Che Tu Guo has more than 20 million, it is not comparable to Che Long Guo and Che Hu Guo at all. Chen Tai is a four-star warrior, he is very confident in his own strength, believing that if the army of Che Long Guo does not come, then so be it, but if they do come, he will definitely make them know his prowess!

  Zhang Liao led two tens of thousands of troops, who were his personally trained elite soldiers. Even if they weren't as good as the Dou Shi, they wouldn't be far off either. More importantly, Zhang Liao had great confidence in his own command abilities. The fact that Che Ba Hu Wang, an existence surpassing even the Nine-Star Dou Shi, was firmly pinned down by archers was clear proof of this.

  Moreover, after several massacres, they even participated in the slaughter of that tyrant Wang, these soldiers have already seen blood and have a strong killing aura all over their bodies. Under this kind of killing aura, ordinary soldiers would probably be unable to withstand its erosion, and their combat effectiveness would not be able to be exerted at all.

  Twenty thousand troops soon crossed the border of Chehu Country and Chetu Country, arriving at Menghu Town. The town had already heard the news of Chehu Country's fall, and with the propaganda from Chedragon Country, all the townspeople knew that the high-ranking officials of Chehu Country had sacrificed fifty million civilians in Chehu City to evil forces. The people of Chehu Country had long since lost their loyalty, and now that the army of Chedragon Country had arrived, the entire town of Menghu welcomed them with open doors, greeting the laborers who came.

  However, Zhang Liao did not accept the offerings of the people. After some kind words of advice, the people finally returned to their town with peace of mind, because they now felt that they had truly encountered a king's army. The great general of Cheolongguo had promised them that he would not degrade them into slaves, but would treat them as ordinary citizens of Cheolongguo, just like his own people. In other words, they were now citizens of Cheolongguo, not slaves of the defeated Cheohuanguo.

  After a brief stay in Menghu Town, the army set out again. At this time, Chen Tai also brought 20,000 troops to Huto Town on the border of Chitu Country, where they ate, drank and had fun, feeling extremely pleased.

  In Chen Tai's opinion, Che Long Guo didn't dare to offend Che Tu Guo at all, so he wasn't worried at all.

  But soon Chen Tai knew he was wrong.

  Inside a luxurious and majestic mansion, Chen Tai was enjoying himself with beautiful women in his arms, when suddenly a deputy general came rushing in, flustered and exclaimed: "General, it's...it's not good! The army of Cheolong has arrived!"

  Chen Tai pushed away the beautiful woman who was pouring him wine and said, "What? The Che Long Kingdom actually dares to really attack us. This is good, come on, bring me my armor! I want to see where the Che Long Kingdom gets its audacity!"
