Chapter 138 Urgent Report from the Northern Barbarians: Qin Wu Prepares for Another Expedition (Seco
"Your Highness, we just received news that fighting has broken out on the Northern Barbarian side."
Liu Feng strode into Qin Wu's study.
"what happened?"
Qin Wu inquired.
Previous reports indicated that nothing major had happened in the Northern Barbarian region.
In just a few days, the Northern Barbarians have already started a civil war.
This matter is probably not that simple.
"The Barbarian King has broken through to the Grandmaster realm, and the Northern Barbarian Dynasty now has three more Grandmaster-level experts."
"The barbarian king then wanted to reclaim the territory that had been divided between the two wise kings and reunify the northern barbarians."
Liu Feng explained.
No one would have expected that the Barbarian King, who had just been severely injured by the leader of the Wolf God Cult, would break through to the Grandmaster realm under such circumstances.
Moreover, judging from the looks of it, he didn't just break through; he must have stabilized his cultivation before coming out of seclusion.
"It seems the Northern Barbarians are in for a good show, but this is also an opportunity."
"How is the Fourth General's seclusion progressing?"
Qin Wu inquired.
The Northern Barbarians are definitely going to start an internal war, which is a great opportunity.
However, there are currently four Grandmasters in the Northern Barbarians. Even if he brings Xuan Yue along, there are only two of them. He can handle three opponents at once.
But it wasn't so easy to stop the three of them from escaping.
He wasn't confident he could keep three people alive at once; a fourth battle would be crucial for breaking through.
Then he would be confident in annihilating all the Grandmaster-level experts of the Northern Barbarians.
As for why Qiao Danxue wasn't included, it's because Qiao Danxue is now his woman, and Qin Wu hasn't reached the point where he needs to send his woman to the battlefield.
He also didn't intend to let Jordan Xue take any risks.
Moreover, with Jordan Xue's combat power, killing a Grandmaster wouldn't be a problem, but fighting a Great Grandmaster is out of the question.
He guessed that Jordan Xue had devoted all her energy to medicine and poisons.
"The Asura General has already broken through, but he still needs some time to consolidate his cultivation. As for the other three generals, they also need some time."
Liu Feng reported the truth.
The reason why Shura was able to break through so quickly.
It was all because of this great battle that he wiped out a large number of bandits, which loosened his bottleneck and allowed him to break through in such a short time.
As for the others, they will need a little more time.
"Good, it's good that one person has broken through. They're not in a hurry, but you guys need to speed things up. You've stayed at the Grandmaster level long enough."
Qin Wu smiled when he heard that Liu Qiu had made a breakthrough.
With Liu Qiu's strength now that he has broken through, he is definitely one of the top performers in the early stages of the Grandmaster realm.
With Liu Qiu's help, he was absolutely confident that he could take them all down, even if it was three against four.
"Yes, once the four generals break through, we will also go into seclusion to break through."
Liu Feng said that their talents were actually not much different from those of the Four War Generals, and the time it took for them to break through each time was not much different.
They refrained from breaking through this time in order to protect the Four Generals.
"Okay, I'll give you a month. I also need a month to prepare."
"Have the secret guards keep a close eye on the situation in the Northern Barbarians. This time, we might be able to take them down easily."
Qin Wu gave the order.
He believed that Liu Feng and the others would all be able to break through within a month.
Once they break through to the Grandmaster realm, he won't even need to lift a finger to take down the Northern Barbarians.
Especially with the assassination skills cultivated by Liu Feng and his group, as long as they are well prepared, assassinating a mid-stage Grandmaster together is not a problem at all.
"Your Highness, rest assured, a month is enough. With the help of the pills refined by the Consort, plus our accumulated knowledge, breaking through will not be difficult."
The flowing wind guarantees the way.
He might not have been confident before, but with the pills refined by Jordan Xue, they were absolutely confident.
"Okay, go and do your work!"
"I need to go to the palace."
After Qin Wu finished speaking, he got up and walked outside.
Royal study room.
"Your Majesty, the Divine Martial King has entered the palace."
Upon receiving the message from the palace gates, Eunuch Yongfu immediately reported it to the Emperor of Eastern Qin.
"What brings him here today?"
The Emperor of Eastern Qin was somewhat puzzled, as nothing major should have happened today.
"The Divine Martial King has arrived..."
Just then, Qin Wu walked in from outside.
"You all stand down."
After entering the imperial study, Qin Wu gave instructions to the servants.
"Go back all!"
The Emperor of Eastern Qin gestured to the crowd.
He knew that Qin Wu probably had something important to discuss with him.
Upon receiving the Emperor of Eastern Qin's order, all the palace servants immediately withdrew.
"Tell me, what's the matter?"
After everyone left, the Emperor of Eastern Qin finally spoke up and asked a question.
"See for yourself!"
Qin Wu handed the intelligence over to the Emperor of Eastern Qin.
The Emperor of Eastern Qin took the intelligence report and read it. After reading it, he guessed what Qin Wu was going to do.
"You intend to send troops to the northern barbarians?"
The Emperor of Eastern Qin confirmed this.
"Yes, this is a golden opportunity. The Northern Barbarians are in internal strife, and we can take advantage of this to take them over."
"Moreover, the Northern Barbarians are currently at the weakest point in their national strength."
Qin Wu then shared his thoughts.
The Northern Barbarians suffered heavy losses from a snow disaster last year, and subsequently launched simultaneous military campaigns against Eastern Qin and Western Zhou, incurring further heavy losses in Eastern Qin.
It also suffered considerable losses in the Western Zhou Dynasty, and ultimately led to two wise kings establishing their own independent regimes.
Now the barbarian king is also waging war against two wise kings at the same time. It can be said that the entire Northern Barbarians are at their weakest point in history.
Such an opportunity is extremely rare. If we seize this opportunity, it's not impossible for Eastern Qin to conquer the Northern Barbarians.
Even if we can't take them all down, we can still severely damage the Northern Barbarians and lay the foundation for annihilating them later.
Once the northern barbarians are defeated, we can launch a three-pronged attack and destroy the current Western Zhou Dynasty without difficulty.
At that time, it would not be difficult for the four countries to be unified.
"The timing is indeed good, but we have just finished the war against Southern Qi. If we send troops now, even if Eastern Qin is powerful, we will find it difficult to cope!"
The Emperor of Eastern Qin also understood that this was a good opportunity.
However, the treasury of the Eastern Qin state is currently insufficient to support a war that would destroy the entire country.
Unless this year's harvest is bountiful, Eastern Qin will not have enough provisions to sustain its war against the Northern Barbarians.
After all, a war to destroy a country requires an astronomical amount of food and supplies for a million-strong army.
"This time I will not bring too many troops. The main force will still be my Zhenbei Army. I will not need too much food and supplies. As far as I know, it is enough for my Zhenbei Army to carry out its campaign."
"As for entering the grasslands, my Zhenbei Army will not lack food. The cattle and sheep on the grasslands will be the food for my Zhenbei Army."
"What I need most are arrows, the more the better."
Qin Wu said.
He doesn't plan to bring too many soldiers into the Northern Barbarian lands this time.
The Northern Barbarians lived in tribes and did not have high city walls. He only needed to lead his light cavalry to gradually erode their territory.
Bringing too many troops can actually be a problem.
"Also, we need to be prepared for the border with the Western Zhou to prevent Western Zhou troops from attacking."
Qin Wu then raised another question.
He had studied the Northern Barbarians for over a decade and had long ago formulated a battle plan against them.
They even prepared a map showing the distribution of the Northern Barbarians.
He is very confident that he can take down the Northern Barbarians this time.
"You're only bringing your Zhenbei Army? If I remember correctly, your Zhenbei Army suffered heavy losses in the last battle against the Northern Barbarians. Although they've been replenished now, are you sure their combat effectiveness is not a problem?"
After hearing Qin Wu's words, the Emperor of Eastern Qin was very worried.
Everyone knows how much the Zhenbei Army suffered in the last war against the Northern Barbarians.
It can be said that they almost wiped out the 300,000 troops left in Jubei City.
"It's not a big problem. The core 20 iron cavalry of the Zhenbei Army did not suffer many losses. They were the main force this time."
“By drawing 20 cavalry from other armies, 40 cavalry will be enough to take down the entire Northern Barbarians.”
Qin Wu was not worried; he had no intention of confronting the Northern Barbarians head-on.
"That's no problem. But now that the Barbarian King has broken through, the Northern Barbarians once again have four Grandmasters. How will you handle that alone?"
The Emperor of Eastern Qin was still somewhat worried.
He knew Qin Wu was powerful, but fighting four against one was still too dangerous.
"You don't need to worry about that. I need another month to prepare. After a month, the four Grandmasters will no longer be a problem."
Qin Wu said confidently.
This also piqued the curiosity of the Eastern Qin Emperor.
Why is Qin Wu so confident? Does he have some other way to deal with the four Grandmasters?
And it only takes a month to prepare.
"Are you sure it's okay?"
The Emperor of Eastern Qin remained worried.
This is no joke; the start of this great battle is a matter of life and death.
"Well, don't worry."
Qin Wu nodded firmly.
