Chapter 148: Nangong Yu
was also thinking of other things.There is no doubt.The former Zhongshan Divine Clan, though fallen to the level of a mere clan, still possesses formidable strength from its past.Currently...The Zhōn...In the 383rd year of the Qin Dynasty, on the 23rd day of the sixth month.
A million barbarians attacked Da Huang Mansion's gate at night, stormed and captured several cities in a single night. Their army marched forward relentlessly, resulting in heavy casualties and widespread displacement of civilians.
... last.
The barbarians divided their forces into five groups, encircling the entire Dahuang Prefecture in an arc shape, intending to capture it in one fell swoop.
Because the barbarians attacked with lightning speed, the Qin Dynasty had no time to react.
It wasn't until days later that news of the barbarian invasion reached other parts of the Great Wilderness Prefecture, prompting a corresponding deployment.
In the center of Dahuang Mansion.
A magnificent city stands within, with towering and ancient walls that have stood the test of time. Though etched by centuries, they remain unbroken, like an insurmountable chasm, awe-inspiring to behold.

Xuancheng!
This is the most magnificent city in the Great Wilderness Prefecture, and also the main city of this vast Great Wilderness Prefecture.
The vast majority of Dahuang Prefecture's military forces were stationed in Xuancheng, guarding the main city that quelled rebellions within Dahuang Prefecture.
Because Xuancheng has a special geographical location.
Besides the government offices, the city also has a lord's mansion.

Amongst.

The city lord's mansion governs the outer affairs, while the government office manages the inner affairs. Together, they are responsible for managing Xuancheng and maintaining order in the city.
The atmosphere in the City Lord's Mansion was now heavy and solemn.
A middle-aged man with a dignified appearance, wearing a black cloud qilin robe and a white jade belt, was sitting majestically at the head of the table.
This is Xuancheng City Lord, Nangong Yu.
Below him sat Xuancheng's prefect, Guang Heng, and Dong Yang, the commander of Xuancheng's Black Tiger Army.
Now.
The magistrate Guang Heng's face was as dark and gloomy as water.
"These barbarian tribes, now dare to openly invade my Great Qin territory They truly don't regard me as the rightful ruler. I beg Lord Nangong, please issue an order. This lowly official will definitely lead the Black Tiger Army and eliminate these barbarians in one fell swoop."
Dongyang roared in a deep voice, his eyes burning with obvious anger.
Barbarians!
That was nothing but the uncivilized barbarians beaten down by the great Qin Dynasty.
>
The Qin Dynasty has always looked down upon barbarians. If it weren't for the limitation of the wild and barren region, the barbarians would have been wiped out long ago.
As for such barbarians.
Donghyang felt a deep sense of disdain.
Now that the barbarians are invading Dahua Prefecture, it's equivalent to slapping Daqin in the face. As the main force stationed in Dahua Prefecture, if the Black Tiger Army allows the barbarians to run rampant, then the Black Tiger Army would also be utterly disgraced.
He finished speaking.

Guang Heng also spoke up: “The barbarians truly deserve to be killed. Throughout the years, they have been raiding the borders of my Great Wilderness Prefecture, causing significant losses to our prefecture. Now, they dare to lead a million strong force to attack my Great Wilderness Prefecture—they must have eaten bear heart and leopard gall!”
If we don't exterminate those hundreds of thousands of barbarians this time, where will the face of our Great Qin be
Between their words, there was an underlying message of directly leading a large army to wipe out the barbarians.
Above the first place.
Nan Gong Yu always remained calm.
When both of them had finished speaking, he slowly opened his mouth, his deep voice echoing in the City Lord's Mansion.
“As for the strength of the barbarians, we both have a clear understanding. Although the barbarian lands are vast, offering them opportunities to survive there, the conditions are harsh and many barbarians have perished over the years due to various reasons.”
As a result, the number of barbarians has never been able to increase much.
Moreover, as winter approached each year, the barbarians would send some of their people to raid the border, aiming to plunder resources to help them survive the harsh winter.
When speaking, Nangu Yu paused.
His gaze fell on the two of them.
"Although the barbarians raid the border of Great Wilderness Prefecture every year, causing us considerable losses, their losses are comparatively easier to recover. As a result, the strength of the barbarians is actually declining year by year."

In the past, we in Qin did not attack them, which they should be grateful for.
Now that the barbarians dare openly invade my Great Wilderness Estate, their purpose is surely not so simple.
Though barbarians are uncivilized savages, it doesn't mean all barbarians are stupid.
On the contrary.
The barbarians had many wise men, and the Temple of Priests could even foretell the future.
These people are also the support for the survival of barbarians to this day.
To say that the barbarians would dare to launch a full-scale attack on Dahuang Mansion without any guarantee, Nan Gongyu would never believe it.
The problem is.
Where does the Manchu's confidence come from
To be honest.
He didn't know a thing.
Guang Heng frowned.
"Judging from the information received, the barbarians seem to have cooperated with the demon cultivators of the Eternal Life Alliance. Their confidence in attacking the Great Desolate Mansion is very likely derived from the Eternal Life Alliance."
The power of the Eternal Alliance has always been strong.
It was powerful enough to rival the Qin Dynasty, its strength is evident.
More importantly.
Behind the Eternal Alliance, stand demons.
But the power of demons is truly terrifying. Even at its peak, the Qin Dynasty could only barely withstand the demon side.
Now that the barbarians are cooperating with the Eternal Alliance, they have gained an incredibly powerful ally.
"To collude with demons is akin to seeking a tiger's skin, the barbarians would not be so foolish."
Nangong Yu shook her head.
Judging from the current situation, the barbarians are indeed cooperating with demons, but they will definitely not be completely cooperating with them.
All things considered.
The strength of the barbarians is too weak compared to demons. If they rashly cooperate with demons, it would be like putting a knife on their own neck, one that could fall at any time.
Less is more.
Barbaric tribes would never do such a thing.
Therefore.

In Nan Gongyu's view, the barbarians definitely had other trump cards, but Da Qin couldn't find out too much for now.
“Your Excellency Nan Gong, there’s no need to worry so much right now. What we should do is focus on defeating the barbarian invaders who have attacked Dayu Prefecture. Every day we delay only brings greater losses to Dayu Prefecture.”
Dongyang interrupted Nanguangyu's contemplation.
In his view.
The other party is thinking so much, obviously there is no need.
All that matters now is to send troops to put down the barbarians. Everything else is just talk.
Upon hearing this.
Nangong Yu nodded slightly.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
You are right, what I am focused on now is to drive back all one million barbarians. However, the problem is that the barbarians are coming in full force. With the current army stationed in Dahuang Prefecture, it would be no easy feat to stand against one million barbarians.
I have already reported this matter to the court, and it will not be long before the imperial army arrives to help.
How many troops does the Black Tiger Army still have
That's all.
He has already looked towards Dongyang.
In Xuancheng, there are still 200,000 Black Tiger Army stationed, plus the troops from other cities in Dahuang Prefecture, it is not a big problem to gather an army of 500,000. Adding other forces, even if Dahuang Prefecture cannot gather an army of one million, 700,000 or 800,000 is still possible.
Dongyang replied without hesitation.
He was both the commander of the Black Tiger Army in Xuancheng and the highest commander of the Black Tiger Army in Dahuangfu.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!
Speaking of positions.
He's just one level lower than Nangong Yu.
Compared to the magistrate of Xuancheng's words, they were not inferior in the slightest.
Therefore, Dongyang also has a clear understanding of the military strength of Dahuangfu.
“Eighty thousand troops, that's a considerable number.”
Nangong Yu nodded, her fingers tapping lightly on the table.
>The savage lands are harsh, and the barbarians who come from there are also brave. Ordinary Qin people cannot resist the barbarians. The 500,000 Black Tiger Army is the main force against the million barbarian army. The remaining two or three hundred thousand troops have limited effect.
This time, the barbarians have the cooperation of the Eternal Alliance. The Demon Suppression Division in various places of the Great Wilderness Prefecture are all taking action, but it is not necessarily possible to suppress them all.
If the barbarians truly put forth their full strength, relying solely on the Black Tiger Army would be utterly insufficient to hold them back.
The Black Tiger Army is strong.
But it was only one of the many strong armies of the Qin.
> Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
To rely solely on the Black Tiger Army to counter the entire barbarian horde is a joke.
>>>Dongyang's face showed displeasure, but he didn't retort. Let me know if you'd like me to translate anything else!
Within, there are traitors sowing discord, and without, barbarian hordes threaten. The true hardship lies in the predicament of Dahua Prefecture.
If it truly came to that, Guang Heng could be certain that his position as the magistrate of Xuancheng would effectively be at an end.
Just as a few people were discussing.
A general rushed in from outside, saw Empress Nangong Yu, and immediately knelt on one knee.
“I have met Lord Nan Gong!”
"Well, what happened"
Nangong Yu's expression was calm, but when her gaze fell on the general, he felt immense pressure.
At the same time.
Guang Heng and Dong Yang's gazes were also directed at each other.
At this critical juncture, someone suddenly arrived, and a sense of foreboding washed over them.
Could it be——
Has something changed within the Great Wilderness Prefecture
Just as thoughts arose in their minds, the general had already reported truthfully.
Two days ago, led by Maiba, 120,000 barbarians attacked Jin City.
