Because Xie Linlang defeated the water bandits before and frightened the pirates, later, when Xie Linlang was doing business by sea, he easily reached a deal with them.

As long as they don't rob or offend Xiang Cheng's goods, then she won't trouble them. If they are willing to contribute to the shipping, then she can give them a share of the pie.

Intimidated by force and lured by interests, the water bandits surrendered one after another, and the two sides temporarily reached a friendly relationship.

In order to deepen the bond, Xie Linlang also brought their children to Xiangcheng for education.

Those water pirates agreed without much hesitation. After all, who would be willing to be a water bandit if they were not forced to do so? And although Xie Linlang was cruel, they still believed in her character and believed that she would not attack innocent people.

With this connection, the relationship between the water bandits and Xiang Cheng has become closer and closer. Of course, on the surface, they still keep their distance, but once they have any news, they will tell Xie Linlang as soon as possible, like this Second-rate.

This time, before Zeguo's navy harassed Xiangcheng, Xie Linlang received a reminder from the water bandits, saying that Zeguo intended to bribe them to keep them out of the way, and to keep the waterway open so that Zeguo's navy could pass through without hindrance. Xiangcheng.

It was precisely because of their tip-off that Zeguo's sudden harassment did not cause much damage to Xiang Cheng, and it also allowed Xie Linlang to gain insight into the situation and make predictions in advance.

This time, Mr. Huang came here to tell Xie Linlang about the movements of the Zeguo navy reported by the water bandits.

After he told her about the situation on the water, he then talked about the situation in the Red River Valley.

"Now the Red River Valley has been renovated according to the Lord's proposal. If the Zeguo navy really launches a water war, then the Red River Valley will become Xiangcheng's first line of defense."

Hearing this, Xie Linlang shook his head and smiled bitterly.

"It's not if, it's a certainty. This time, the Nuo Kingdom obviously wants to go to war with Great Qin. The Nuo Kingdom has always been cautious. This time it suddenly became stronger. In addition to a cautious layout, it must also have strong allies.

As for the ally that can bring them such confidence, other than Ze Guo, they don't think so. "

Xie Linlang said, looking at a map of various countries hanging on the wall, and her voice gradually became heavier.

"But Da Qin took advantage of the natural dangers on the water and the rampant water bandits, and did not set up naval defenses in the southern waters. This was simply an open door for Zeguo.

As long as Zeguo's shipbuilding technology can be improved to a higher level and can cope with complex water environments, as long as they can spend a lot of money to smoothen relations with the water bandits, and with the promise of Zhuguo, they have no reason to refuse to send troops to come and get a share of the pie. . "

With Xie Linlang's affirmative words, the expressions of everyone in the room became heavy.

They actually had illusions before, thinking that the next step was just a collision between the Zhu Kingdom and Da Qin, and that the Ze Kingdom was just here to test and harass... If this was the case, even if there was a war, it would not affect Xiangcheng.

Unexpectedly, this turned out to be a war that affected the entire Central Plains!

After Mr. Huang stepped back with a heavy look on his face, Mr. Liu came forward with several master craftsmen and said.

"Lord City Lord, the city defense weapon you designed before has been successfully completed after several months of debugging. When will you go to the machine shop to take a look and test its performance?"

The Machinery Workshop was a newly built workshop in Xiangcheng later. If you want to defend the city, how can you do without weapons?

In particular, Xie Linlang realized the importance of Xiangcheng and the danger of Zeguo a few years ago. In this regard, it was impossible not to take precautions.

Xie Linlang nodded, indicating that he understood.

This is good news. One more weapon means more security.

Then there were other people reporting back one by one about the situation in the city and the latest news received.

Everything was going on steadily under tight and tight control. Seeing Xie Linlang sitting here calmly, everyone who was a little flustered slowly calmed down again.

Anyway, no matter what happens, they, Xiang Cheng, and the city lord!

Outside Xiangcheng, the country of Nuo had already announced its break with Great Qin.

Because Great Qin has been unable to hand over the real culprit who killed their prince, the country of Zhou was furious and said that it would tear up the previous peace treaty and launch a mutiny!

This made the situation in the court very serious. However, the overall national strength of the Zhu Kingdom is not as good as that of the Qin Kingdom. Even if they seize the opportunity and send troops first, Da Qin will not be afraid of fighting them when they react!

Therefore, most of the people in the court were from the main war faction and agreed to go to war.

Since the Swamp Country wants to fight, let's fight it, just to let them know how powerful it is and not dare to covet it anymore.

But there are still some people who advocate peace. They believe that the Qin Dynasty did something wrong first, and they should actively compensate for it and eliminate the anger of the Zhu Kingdom, instead of rashly starting a war and causing the loss of life.

However, such voices are only a small part, and most of them are active in the war. They have also selected suitable generals and assembled an army of 200,000 to deal with this war.

On the other side, the battle in Xichuan Forest is also heating up!

Qin Jue used the method of "inviting the king into the urn" to kill many enemies in a very short period of time and took the initiative. In the process, he also killed a deputy general and obtained the second token.

However, this plan cannot always be rigorous. After Qin Jue got the second token, the last deputy general noticed the conspiracy and was very angry. He even gave up the search for the general and wanted to gather all his troops. Let’s eliminate Qin Jue’s hidden danger first!

During this process, he didn't even know who the people who had been against them were. He only knew that they were people around Xie Linlang, and they also had a group of powerful subordinates.

Soon, more than 10,000 elite soldiers gathered and pressed towards Qin Jue.

The location chosen by Qin Jue as a trap was a forest surrounded by water on three sides. This forest area helped Qin Jue kill many enemies. At this time, the enemy army came to force them. This location was also a place where there was no way to retreat. dead end.

At this time, knowing that the opponent's heavy troops were coming, all of Qin Jue's men also gathered together. However, there were only a few thousand of them, and they had all experienced bloody battles, so they could not be the enemy's opponents.

Under this situation, Qin Jue did not panic. The melee lasted for several days. He believed that as long as the general was not dead, he would have seized the opportunity to escape.

Even if he didn't escape, Qin Jue still had one last move to make, which was to kill everyone in a big fire pit and bury everyone here.

If possible, Qin Jue doesn't want to kill too many people, because most of them are people stationed in the western part of the country, they are the people of Da Qin, and they are the people who fought bloody battles for Da Qin on the battlefield.

But if he really comes to the last step, he will have to do this, because the war trumpet of the Nuo Kingdom has already sounded. If he cannot stabilize the garrison camp and allow the Nuo Kingdom to break through the border defense and drive in, it will be More people die.
