Chapter 402: Border
As Jiang Chen's order was issued, the entire Yan Kingdom immediately entered a level one combat readiness state.
All the military forces of Yan State were mobilized at the same time.
The army in the northern border and the former territory of the Ming Dynasty, in addition to the county troops from various places.
A total of 400,000 Yan State troops were stationed at the border between Yan State and Qi State.
As the Yan State army was mobilized, Qi Emperor Tian Min also received news that the Yan State army was approaching.
After learning about the mobilization of the Yan State’s army, Tian Min hurriedly called over his own ancestors and the ancestors of the Zhu family.
Tian Min, wearing a golden dragon robe, ran into a hall in a panic.
He bowed down to the two old men who were meditating in the hall.
"Greetings to the two elders. I have something important to report!"
After hearing Tian Min's voice, the two old men opened their eyes at the same time.
"What's going on? Why are you so flustered? How disgraceful!"
Tian Cuifeng, the ancestor of the Tian family, looked at the panicked Tian Min with dissatisfaction.
He scolded Tian Min.
Faced with the scolding from his ancestor, Tian Min swallowed his saliva.
Then he raised his sleeves to wipe the sweat from his forehead.
"Reporting to the ancestor, the Yan country has deployed 400,000 troops on the border."
"I think Yan Country has noticed something."
"If you want to attack my Qi State, you must strike first!"
After hearing what Tian Min said, Tian Cuifeng sneered.
"Hehe, it's just a newly established country!"
"I really don't believe that Yan State would dare to attack Qi State first."
Having said that, Tian Cuifeng smiled confidently and continued.
"Don't forget, before I come back."
"We have already made an agreement with the ancestors of the other three countries."
"If Jiang Chen really doesn't know what's good for him, we will wait for the four nations."
"They will raise troops at the same time to teach this so-called Flame Emperor how to behave!"
After saying that, Tian Cuifeng took out three letters from her arms and threw them at Tian Min's feet.
Looking at the three letters at his feet, Tian Min quickly picked them all up.
Before Tian Min could come to his senses, Zhu Hongwu, the ancestor of the Zhu family, also spoke.
"Young man of the Tian family, this is my personal token."
"Although my Zhu family was destroyed, it still has some foundation."
"This token will allow one of my Zhu family's intelligence agencies to work for you."
Having said that, Zhu Hongwu didn't care what Tian Min thought.
He directly threw the token in his hand into Tian Min's hand through the air.
"Grandmaster Zhu, I will definitely not let you down!"
Tian Min tightly grasped the token in his hand and bowed respectfully to the two old men.
He picked up the letter, put the token in his pocket, turned around and walked out of the hall with a happy face.
Tian Min, who was already in a panic, also received help from the two ancestors.
Gradually, he regained his sanity and began to think.
How to use the resources given by the two ancestors to deal with the upcoming war between the two countries.
At the same time, in the territory of Yan State.
Jiang Chen also personally brought Yuan Hao, Gongsun Liang, and Yu Shuo to the border between the Northern Territory and Qi State.
For Jiang Chen, this war is very important.
Therefore, Jiang Chen must lead the army in person in this battle!
But what made Jiang Chen even happier was before he left the capital.
The imperial physician in the palace told him a very exciting news.
Chen Yueru and Su Qingcheng are pregnant!
After hearing the news, Jiang Chen wanted to jump up on the spot.
Fortunately, Jiang Chen was able to control his emotions well.
After ordering the eunuchs and palace maids in the harem to take good care of the two women.
He then brought the Shenji Camp and the Shenshu Camp to the border.
Looking at the border of Qi State across the river, Jiang Chen slowly closed his eyes.
Soon, scouts went to get the news.
The members of the "Ant Nest" who came from the territory of Qi were brought to Jiang Chen.
"Members of the Ant Nest, greetings to His Majesty!"
"Long live the emperor."
"Your Majesty, I have already figured out the deployment of Qi's front line!"
The scouts and members of the "Ant Cave" walked into the big tent at the same time and bowed down in front of Jiang Chen.
Looking at the two people who looked exhausted, Jiang Chen nodded.
"Yes, tell me, what have you found out?"
Following Jiang Chen's question, the scout spoke first.
"Your Majesty, I will continue to explore along the river bank."
"I found a floating bridge downstream of the river!"
It turned out that after learning that the Yan State’s army was stationed at the border.
Le Yipo, the Qi garrison commander in charge of guarding the border, decisively destroyed all the bridges across the river.
Even the ferry boats were all gathered downstream.
After doing these things, the defender of Qi.
In order to make it easier for his spies to gather information, he stayed downstream.
Using the collected ferries, a ferry bridge was built.
The design of this ferry bridge is extremely ingenious, and it is always used by people from Qi.
They would directly use the mechanism designed in advance to pull all the ferries back to the other side.
After hearing the news, Jiang Chen breathed a sigh of relief.
Originally, he thought that the only option was to build a bridge on the spot for the army to pass through.
But now we know that there is such a floating bridge.
Jiang Chen couldn't help but feel a little happy and joyful in his heart.
As long as we can successfully seize this floating bridge from Qi.
At that time, the Yan State army will be able to reach the other side directly through the pontoon bridge!
Thinking of this, Jiang Chen couldn't wait to call Yuan Hao and Yu Shuo over.
"General Yuan Hao (Yu Shuo) pays respect to Your Majesty!"
As soon as the two of them walked into Jiang Chen's tent, they bowed and saluted.
Looking at the two of them, Jiang Chen raised his hand and said.
"You two get up, I will call ."
"I want to assign a task to you two!"
Hearing that Jiang Chen had orders to give to them, Yuan Hao and Yu Shuo were delighted.
Especially Yu Shuo, who couldn't wait to take Jiang Chen's order.
For Yu Shuo, nothing can attract him more than making meritorious service!
Looking at the excited Yuan Hao and Yu Shuo, Jiang Chen took out the map marked by the scouts.
"You two take a look at this map!"
"The mission I assign to you is tonight."
"You two lead a special force and seize this floating bridge downstream for me!"
After saying that, Jiang Chen handed the map to Yu Shuo.
Looking at the location of the floating bridge marked on the map, Yu Shuo immediately said to Jiang Chen.
"Don't worry, Your Majesty. I can leave this task to you alone!"
Hearing this, Jiang Chen shook his head and smiled.
"You should be more cautious now that I have summoned you two."
"Then this mission is for the two of you to complete together!"
"Yuan Hao, do you understand what I mean?"
