Chapter 144 Prayer
At present, the number of soldiers available to South Korea is no more than 20,000 at most! Li Kai, the governor of Nanyang County, has 30,000 soldiers under his command.

Although the conditions proposed by Han Wangan were a bit exaggerated, he had no choice but to do so.

"Hahaha." After Han Wangan said the conditions to win over his father, Nanyue laughed loudly, her curvy body undulating, but there was no joy in her laughter, only strong ridicule. "I never thought that I, a zither girl who used to hang out in brothels, would have the opportunity to become the queen of a country!"

In public, Nanyue unceremoniously revealed her former identity.

"Nongyu." Li Kai called out with worry on his face after seeing the madness between his daughter's eyebrows.

Tianxuan took another sip of tea and pointed out the key point directly: "This condition is indeed generous. Unfortunately, it will never be realized!"

"Zhao has been destroyed, Wei has been weak for a long time, and Yan has been severely damaged. Qi and Chu will never rashly interfere in the war between Qin and Han and give Qin an excuse to attack them. In addition, the 30,000 troops stationed in Nanyang County are not all under your command, Lord Li Kai." Having said that, Tianxuan's eyes swept over Nongyu, who had regained her composure.

"Lord Li Kai, your daughter is obviously not interested in marrying Han Wangan's son. Even if you really want the position of the father-in-law of the emperor and intend to unite Nanyang County with Han Wangan, the number of soldiers willing to follow you will never exceed half. Although the father-in-law of the emperor is good, he is poisonous!"

Li Kai sighed, "General Tian is right."

"So, what's your decision?" Tian Xuan drank the last sip of tea in the teacup and played with the empty cup in his hand. "The king ordered you and me to lead the suppression of the rebellion. Although my three thousand cavalrymen have been traveling day and night and are exhausted, they can return to the battlefield in ten days at most!"

At the end of his words, Tianxuan's eyes flashed with a sharp light and locked onto Li Kai.

On the way to Nanyang County, the envoy sent by Xianyang City went to Tianxuan first and not only conveyed Zhengge's order, but also delivered a secret decree from Zhengge to Tianxuan.

Yan Fei and Yue Shen sensed the slight chill coming from Tian Xuan, and they both smiled, their eyes never leaving Li Kai. If Li Kai said something that made them unhappy, they would kill him on the spot without hesitation!

"Ten days, give me ten days!"

As a Korean, and once the right commander of the Han army, Li Kai was absolutely unwilling to fight with the Han army. However, things had come to this point. If he was unwilling to fight, not only would he die, but his wife and daughter would also not be able to be saved. Under Tianxuan's burning gaze, Li Kai was silent for a long time and made his decision.

"Although Nanyang County has 30,000 troops, it is close to the State of Chu, so we must guard against the Chu people taking advantage of the situation. Therefore, we can only mobilize 20,000 troops at most, most of which are infantry!"

"enough!"

Li Kai’s 20,000 and Tian Xuan’s own 3,000.

Twenty-three thousand was not a large number, but it was child's play to pacify the Koreans. Wei Zhuang and others who were leading the rebellion behind the scenes did not even expect a successful rebellion. It was more than enough!
"Farewell."

Having said what he needed to say, Tian Xuan had no intention of staying and threw the teacup back. He stood up like a little adult, nodded to Li Kai, and walked out. Yan Fei and Yue Shen followed their little husband.

"What an arrogant boy!"

After Tianxuan, Yan Fei and Yue Shen left, Li Kai's wife, Madam Hu, was a full sister of Han Wangan's favorite concubine, Lady Hu. Even though she was old, she was still graceful and charming. Her eyebrows were particularly similar to those of Nanyue. She was a middle-aged beauty, and she walked up to the attic.

Thinking of Tianxuan's performance just now, he cursed angrily.

Li Kai put his arm around his beloved wife's shoulders and said with a wry smile, "But he does have the capital! Madam, if I'm not mistaken, the king's edict ordering him to take over as the governor of Nanyang County is on him. Once I want to rebel, with the people of the Yin-Yang School around him, this General Tian Xuanzi will not hesitate to seize troops and kill people!" "Alas!" Madam Hu has been the wife of Liu Yi and Li Kai successively. Although she is just a woman in the boudoir, she has also been exposed to some darkness and filth in the officialdom. After hearing her husband's words, deep melancholy appeared between her eyebrows. She sighed and snuggled in Li Kai's arms. For a while, although the family of three was in the same room, there was no warmth at all, only the melancholy that could not be dispersed.

"Husband, can I ask you a favor?" After a long silence, Mrs. Hu raised her delicate head in Li Kai's arms, her beautiful eyes filled with endless pleading, and said softly.

Li Kai knew what his beloved wife was going to say and sighed, "Madam, I will do my best!"

"Mother," Nongyu came to her parents and said confidently, "If you are worried, I will go with father."

"Nongyu, stop messing around!" Li Kai scolded in dissatisfaction, "A battlefield is not a place for a little girl like you to go."

Nong Yu retorted righteously: "Dad, I'm not a child anymore. Besides, don't those women from the Yin-Yang family follow Tian Xuanzi around everywhere? At worst, I promise you that I will never run around!" At the end, without Li Kai and his wife noticing, a deep look flashed from Nong Yu's eyes as she looked in the direction where Tian Xuan and others left.

………………

'Nanyang County Magistrate Li Kai mobilized an army of 20,000 men, and joined forces with the newly appointed Yingchuan County Magistrate Tian Xuanzi's 3,000 cavalrymen to suppress the rebellion in Yingchuan County!'

The war breaks out again, and the weapons are cold and fierce.

Led by Tianxuan and Li Kai, an army of 20,000 marched into Yingchuan County in a mighty force.

The rebellion, which was promoted by Liusha behind the scenes and led by Han Wangan, organized an army. However, except for a small number of elite soldiers who had served in the White Armor Army, most of them were farmers who had put down their farm tools, or even servants and slaves in the mansions of the powerful people in Han.

"Qin Feng!"

"Qin Feng!"

"Qin Feng!"

……

In front of a ruined city, three thousand Qin soldiers rushed to the foot of the city. The earth-shaking military trumpets were roared out by these three thousand passionate men and gathered together, like a thunder that was about to explode on the top of the city.

Boom!Boom!Boom!
The Korean defenders in the city were no more than a thousand at most. Looking at the top of the city in the white sky, one could see gray heads and childish faces. Facing the powerful enemy below the city, these so-called troops, but in fact a mob of farmers, everyone's heart was beating violently in their chest.

They gathered together and turned into dense but timid drum sounds, as if the city had been conquered by the Qin army. The war drums sounded without wind, accompanying the Qin army in this way.

puff!puff!puff!
Dense crossbows were fired from the Qin army formation, forming an impenetrable rain of arrows, covering the Han army on the top of the city, and clusters of dazzling blood flowers burst out one after another. Just a wave of arrows, the Han army on the top of the city was killed by half, and although the survivors hid in the battlements of the city wall and behind shields, they luckily saved their lives, but their morale was completely lost and they no longer had the will to fight.

Soon, the tightly closed city gates and the erected drawbridge were opened to the Qin army with sharp and piercing sounds.
