Chapter 144 No Safety to Rely on

Qin Rubing stood up and said to Zhuxiang, "Find me a horse."

Zhuxiang immediately called Ye Yi who was riding a horse.

The carriage stopped, Qin Rubing got off, rode on Ye Yi's horse, spurred the horse and whipped it, chasing towards the front of the team.

Zuo Qingyun, who was sitting in the carriage, heard a burst of hurried horse hooves. He slightly opened the curtain and saw Qin Rubing galloping past.

Zuo Qingyun lowered his head and remained silent, pondering to himself, what happened?

After Qin Rubing caught up with Chu Tiancheng, he asked straight to the point:

"Your Majesty, how long will it take us to reach the southeastern border?"

Chu Tiancheng thought for a moment and said, "About half a month."

"So long? What if Xiao Yifei suddenly raids the border?"

Chu Tiancheng said, "I have sent a vanguard of 20,000 people to rush over first. They will arrive in about seven days."

Qin Rubing asked again: "Do you know where Xiao Yifei is now?"

Chu Tiancheng said: "I sent people to investigate the enemy ten days ago, but the news has not come back yet. I should have news in the next two days."

Qin Rubing thought for a moment and said, "Your Highness, it's too slow to go with the army. I want to take some people with me first."

Chu Tiancheng turned his head to look at Qin Rubing, "What are you going to do first?"

"Collecting intelligence."

"No, it's too dangerous." Chu Tiancheng's face suddenly darkened, leaving no room for negotiation.

Qin Rubing had no choice but to return to the carriage.

what should we do?

Xiao Yifei has already approached the southeastern border, but it will take them another half a month to get there.

In half a month, Xiao Yifei was able to capture several cities in the Eastern Kingdom.

At 3 p.m., the commander-in-chief arrived at his camp.

There was a large table in the middle of the tent with a map on it. Chu Tiancheng was gathering several of his confidants around the table to discuss matters.

At this time, Yan Er came in to report: the people who had been sent out to spy on the enemy had brought back the first batch of news.

Chu Tiancheng immediately took the information and frowned slightly after reading it.

He immediately asked Yan Yi to read it out so that everyone could know it as soon as possible.

Intelligence shows that Xiao Yifei personally led an army of 200,000 from Yuncheng ten days ago.

Three days ago, when this information was sent out, Xiao Yifei had arrived at Linshan Town, one hundred miles south of the southeast border.

Zhou Zihan immediately said upon hearing this: "In that case, Xiao Yifei may launch a surprise attack at the southeastern border at any time."

Chu Tiancheng walked to the table with a serious expression. He lowered his head and looked at the map spread out on the table, his eyes focused and deep.

His finger moved along the line on the map and stopped at the dense forest between Linshan Town and the southeast border.

The forest is dense and vast, but there are no towering peaks, nor steep valleys or cliffs to defend.

This means that if the enemy attacks from here, they will be able to easily pass through the dense forest and quickly approach the border.

Chu Tiancheng frowned slightly and continued to move forward along the map.

When he saw the situation after entering the Eastern Kingdom, his heart sank even more.

Within a hundred miles from the border, the terrain is flat and endless, with no natural barriers to rely on.

This made it easy for the enemy's army to advance straight into the heart of the Eastern Kingdom.

Chu Tiancheng took a deep breath. He realized that if Xiao Yifei really led a large army to invade, the Eastern Kingdom would face a huge crisis.

Without high mountains and dangerous obstacles as barriers and without dangerous terrain to rely on, the Eastern Country’s defense capabilities will be greatly tested.

He clenched his fists tightly, his eyes firm. Although the situation was serious, he could not just sit there and wait for death.

When the enemy comes, we will fight him; when the water comes, we will block it with earth. Xiao Yifei, I will fight you to the death.
