I am a commoner, but I will lead the empress to unify the world

Chapter 368: The Great Barbarian Khan Unifies the Grasslands

Yan State, Shengjing, Imperial Palace.

"Did Zhao Biao really say that?"

Shen Changgong sneered as he listened to the Skynet intelligence sent by Gongsun Wan'er.

"Yes, that's what he said. Should we write him back and tell him to help them when the war starts?"

Gongsun Wan'er asked.

Shen Changgong immediately shook his head and said,

"Why rush? No rush, not at all. Let them fight each other first. When the two countries have almost exhausted each other, we will take action. While destroying the Qi army in Liang, we will go deep into the heart of Qi and destroy Qi."

The Empress also nodded.

"That's a polite thing to say. Once both countries are exhausted, we can use our superior forces to easily wipe out Qi and occupy it. Then, we can find a reason to destroy Liang and occupy the entire northern part of the world.

By then, we will own half of the country.

But I'm worried that Qi might also realize this and might unite with other countries, such as Wei to the south of Qi or Qin to the south of Liang, to attack Liang together. Then Liang won't be able to withstand it and will quickly perish."

However, Shen Changgong had a cruel smile on his face and said

"If that's the case, that would be great. We wouldn't have to find a reason to attack Liang. We could just drive out the remaining armies of Qi and Liang, and Liang's territory would be ours."

Yan Fuyao smiled with satisfaction and said,

"Lord Shen truly embodies meanness and treachery to the fullest."

"Your Majesty, thank you for your praise. I also learned this from you. Your Majesty taught me well."

"When have I ever been treacherous? When have I ever been despicable and shameless?"

Yan Fuyao reached out, grabbed Shen Changgong's ear, and questioned him with glaring eyes.

Shen Changgong took her little hand, picked her up, and held her on his lap.

"Are you ashamed? This is the imperial study, and you, a minister who deceives the emperor, are already hugging me?"

Yan Fuyao stretched out her white jade-like fingers and touched Shen Changgong's forehead.

Shen Changgong hugged her slender waist and said lovingly,

"Because I like you. I can't help it. When I see you, I can't help but want to hold you in my arms, hug you every day, and be with you forever."

Hearing this, Yan Fuyao's eyes changed from playful to gentle, and she looked at Shen Changgong with full affection.

Yan Fuyao discovered that Shen Changgong's love for her was genuine. He would come over whenever he had nothing to do, and then find opportunities and excuses to be intimate with her.

Shen Changgong's love for her is unmatched by any other woman. Are they like a married couple?

The couple fell in love with each other and started kissing each other as if no one was around.

Gongsun Wan'er and Tang Xinyi, who were standing by, were so shocked that their mouths almost turned down.

You bastard, you used to coax me in the same way.

After a moment, Yan Fuyao squeezed her legs together, sat on the dragon chair, rolled her eyes at him and said,

"Alright, alright, go somewhere else if you have nothing to do. Don't bother me every day. We're already an old married couple, and you're still acting like I'm your new love."

"Yeah, then I'll go out and find a new love."

"you dare!"

Yan Fuyao glared and gritted his teeth.

Shen Changgong laughed and looked at her cute appearance, and couldn't help pinching her pretty face.

Suddenly, a sound was heard outside the imperial study.

"General Manager, I have something to report."

Upon hearing this, Gongsun Wan'er stood up and walked out.

A moment later, she walked in with a note, looking a little worried.

"what happened?"

Shen Changgong asked.

Gongsun Wan'er handed the note to Shen Changgong and said,

"Since the end of last year, Skynet has sent a small number of personnel to monitor intelligence on the grassland. After all, we have fought all the way south and occupied Kun Country. The east and south sides of the grassland are our territory. If they don't obey, our backyard will be in trouble.

The grassland has indeed been restless. They didn't come to fight us because they have been fighting among themselves.

Seven years ago, a heroic leader emerged on the grassland. He came from the Qiyan tribe and his name was Qiyan Huihe.

He was originally a slave, but he became the leader of the Qiyan tribe by his own efforts. Later, he led the tribe to fight everywhere, destroying and annexing other tribes, and became one of the four major tribes on the grassland.

In the past five years, he has launched four large-scale wars in succession.

The first time, he attacked the Naiman tribe and swallowed up half of the Naiman tribe's territory and population.

The second time, the Naiman tribe and the Kuoding tribe joined forces to attack him, but he successfully repelled them and killed countless enemies.

The third time, he counterattacked the two tribes and wiped them out in one fell swoop.

The fourth time was not long ago, when Qiyan Huihe led all his elite troops to annihilate the last hostile Tatar tribe, basically unifying the grassland.

The people of the grasslands proclaimed him the Khan of the grasslands and praised him as the Great Barbarian Khan, meaning the son of the great barbarian god and the hero destined to unify the grasslands.

"The grasslands are unified?"

Hearing this, Shen Changgong immediately frowned, his eyes full of worry.

As a time traveler, he is well aware of the harm done to the grassland peoples during the agricultural dynasty.

Back then, after Genghis Khan unified the grasslands, he led his troops south and west, almost sweeping across the Eurasian continent.

If we ignore this kind of harm, it will be very serious.

Shen Changgong frowned and said,

“This Great Barbarian Khan, born a slave, was able to unify the grasslands and make all the barbarians serve him.

At first glance, he is a capable and ambitious leader.

A grassland that is divided and infighting is a good grassland. Once unified, they will have evil intentions towards the south.

The grasslands are barren, with nothing but cattle, sheep, horses, and people. If they want to live a better life, they will have to move south to rob supplies and food. When that happens, we in the north will suffer."

Yan Fuyao also frowned and said,

"Yes, there are still high mountains and steep cliffs and dangerous passes in the western part of Yandi, but in the northern part of Kundi, there are only the original Zhennan Pass and Yao Pass garrisons, with a total of 30,000 to 40,000 people defending. They also have to defend such a long border line, which is simply unable to stop the grassland cavalry that comes and goes like the wind.

We have to prepare early.”

After thinking for a moment, Shen Changgong said,

"Passive defense is not my style. If I want to fight, I have to subdue them, scare them, and severely injure them so that they won't recover for decades.

But it's too early to talk about fighting now. Wan'er, continue to increase your efforts to collect intelligence on the grassland. We must prepare in advance.

If that doesn't work, let the Zhennan Army withdraw first and join us in clearing the grassland."

"it is good."

Gongsun Wan'er nodded immediately.

Shen Changgong's murderous intent was revealed. He would never allow a fire to break out in his backyard when he was heading south to unify the world.

At that time, fighting on two fronts would be particularly disadvantageous to the State of Yan.

Gongsun Wan'er sent a large number of people to the grasslands and several countries in the south to collect intelligence.
