The people in Yan State and Jicheng State were also somewhat surprised by the brutality of the Donghu.

"Are these grassland barbarians so tough?" King Yan's eyelids twitched as he watched.

Bingzhou was violent, but who would have thought that Donghu was also so violent.

They formed an all-weather strategic partnership with Bingzhou and shared intelligence with each other on the grassland tribes. Therefore, they all knew that the Hu people knocking on the gate were not the Donghu army, but the Xiongnu.

Therefore, it is clearer that Bingzhou only increased its troops by 30,000 in order to force Donghu to hand over the 300 miles east of Danlin.

But now it seems...

"Bingzhou seems to be in a difficult situation!" King Yan said with a smile.

Although they were allied partners, the State of Yan did not want to see Bingzhou become a huge vassal state spanning the north of the three states of Qin, Zhao, and Yan. Oh, Zhao was gone, so it was okay.

"That's true!" Yan Chunjun nodded without comment.

Although he and Bingjun were good friends, he was first and foremost the Prime Minister of Yan State, and only secondarily a person.

Therefore, Yan Chunjun was also looking forward to Bingzhou's reaction.

If Bingzhou and Donghu engage in a full-scale war, both Bingzhou and Donghu will suffer heavy losses regardless of victory or defeat.

Even Bingzhou will regress to the barefoot situation of several years ago.

Such Bingzhou would be the favorite ally of Yan and Qin.

There is a saying that goes, I am afraid of my brothers suffering, and I am also afraid of my brothers driving a Land Rover.

This is the mood of the Yan State now.

Even the Qin State, Xianyang, is now happy to see Bingzhou and Donghu engage in a national war.

Only brothers who are worse off than you are good brothers.

"Although I don't want to laugh, I really can't help it. I can only say, Donghu! You deserve a reward!" Ying Zheng couldn't help but smile in the court.

Although they have a common goal, it doesn't stop him from wanting to laugh.

What Qin needed was a Bingzhou that needed Qin's help to become the overlord of the north, rather than an overlord that could be independent on the grassland without relying on Qin at all.

"The attempt to draw a tiger ended up with a dog." Wang Wan couldn't help but sigh.

At first they all thought that the Donghu might be tolerant, but who would have thought that the Donghu would be more violent than they imagined.

The Qin State's path to rise is obviously not suitable for Bingzhou, and its path of gradual encroachment is not suitable for the grassland either.

Guo Wei Liao, Wang Jian and Meng Wu looked at each other with frowns.

They were not as optimistic as others because Bingzhou's reaction was too calm, even a little abnormal!

Ying Zheng also noticed the silence of the generals, and looked at Guo Wei Liao, Wang Jian and other generals in confusion.

"Does the Captain have any different opinions?" Ying Zheng asked.

Wei Liaozi frowned, but still stepped forward to salute, and then said: "Bingzhou's actions are somewhat contrary to common sense!"

"Under normal circumstances, the Donghu has mobilized all its troops, with a total force of nearly 300,000, including 200,000 cavalry. However, the Bingzhou garrison stationed in Danlin City only has 35,000. Even if I convert it into Bingzhou Blood Cavalry, which has the advantage of one against three, it is only 100,000. How can it stop the Donghu army?"

"And from the intelligence we have obtained, Beiye Royal Court and Bing Jun have not sent any more troops to Danlin City!"

"If it were other princes, they would adopt a defensive counterattack tactic, which is understandable, but Bingzhou is different. Since its establishment, Bingzhou has always pursued a tough policy of keeping the war out of the country. Therefore, Bingzhou cannot have deliberately given up Danlin!"

Guo Wei Liao couldn't understand Bingzhou's reaction. It would be a joke to say that Bingzhou didn't know about the Donghu's massive move. Even Xianyang knew about it, so how could Bingzhou not know?

The Bingzhou Military Control Commission is not there to sit there and do nothing. With its intelligence capabilities, I'm afraid that Bing Jun knows exactly what the King of Donghu had eaten in the morning.

So Bingzhou’s reaction was too abnormal.

"It's impossible for Bingzhou to defeat Donghu's 300,000 troops with only 35,000 soldiers, right?" Wei Zhuang smiled and shook his head. This was a bit of a pipe dream.

It's not the battle between Qin, Wei, Yin and Jin, where 500,000 fought against 50,000 and still they were defeated.

Just thinking about the battle of Yinjin, Wei Zhuang's pair of yellow old eyes became focused.

"This old minister suddenly thought of an incredible possibility!" Wei Zhuang spoke again, attracting everyone's attention.

Ying Zheng, Wei Liaozi and others also looked at Wei Zhuang cooperatively.

"Wei Wuzu, the Battle of Yinjin!" Wei Zhuang revealed the scars of the Qin State in the past.

Before the Wei Wuzu became famous, who could have believed that the brave and warlike Qin army of 500,000 men could lose to the Hexi prefecture commandery with only 50,000 men?

On one side, only a county governor was sent out, while on the other side, the king went out to fight in person.

As a result, the Qin army of 500,000 was defeated miserably, even more tragically than the defeat of Zhao, Wei, and Dai in the Battle of Zhao.

Wei Liaozi and others suddenly understood that it seemed that this was really possible.

Before the Wei Wuzu appeared, the Qin infantry was known as the most valiant and fiercest army among the princes.

However, it was such a fierce and powerful army that earned the name of Wei Wuzu with a great defeat.

"What Prime Minister Wei means is that Bingzhou gave birth to cavalrymen whose status is equivalent to that of Wei Wuzu among the infantry!" Wei Liaozi asked hesitantly.

However, the Bingzhou Blood Cavalry and the Yulin Guards have been given absolute praise by people all over the world. Even when facing the cavalry of the Donghu royal court, they all assumed that the casualty ratio between the Bingzhou and Donghu cavalry was one to three, which was already a high enough evaluation.

Because if the Qin Qushui cavalry were to compete with the Donghu cavalry, their casualty ratio would be the opposite, three to one, or even five to one.

Therefore, their evaluation of Bingzhou Blood Cavalry and Yulin Cavalry is already high enough.

Now, Wei Zhuang's intention is to further improve the combat capability assessment of Bingzhou Blood Cavalry and Yulin Cavalry. Then, the Bingzhou Blood Cavalry can be directly deified, saying that they are divine soldiers that came out of mythology.

But is this possible?
"It's really possible!" Having been a general for two generations, Meng Wu has been trying to keep a low profile as much as possible, so he doesn't talk much normally.

But no one dared to underestimate Meng Wu's right to speak.

"The commander of Danlin City is my incompetent eldest son Meng Tian. After Danlin City came to the pass, Wu had been communicating with him..." Meng Wu spoke slowly.

Ying Zheng and others nodded. It was not surprising that Meng Wu and Meng Tian had communication, especially when the Donghu came knocking on the pass. Meng Wu was worried about his son's safety, so he would definitely send a letter home to ask about the battle situation.

"But Tian'er told me not to worry, he knew what was going on." Meng Wu continued.

"Later, when the Donghu army made unusual movements, Wu wrote to him again to ask whether Bingzhou had prepared countermeasures."

Ying Zheng and others nodded. Meng Tian is now a general that Bingzhou is focusing on training. Meng Tian will not tell Meng Wu about Bingzhou's strategic deployment, but he will definitely tell Meng Wu whether he is safe.

"But he only replied me with eight words: Everything is ready, just wait for the flowers to bloom!" Meng Wu continued.

"What do you mean?" Ying Zheng and others were puzzled.

"During the years of recuperation in Bingzhou, my son secretly formed a new cavalry in the name of King Bing. I didn't ask about the specific details," Meng Wu explained.
