Fortunate Young Gentleman

Tangning will visit Xiaowan as the leader of the Western Allied Powers. This is the content of the credentials sent by Sadiq.

With the military forces of Xiaowan, Dayue, and Wusun constraining each other, the allies in the Western Region were already independent of these three countries and were the strongest force in the desert.

Tang Ning's goal of establishing the Western Region Allies has been achieved. He has no intention of seeking to dominate the Western Regions. When the time comes, the Western Region Allies will still hand over autonomy to these member states.

For these small countries, alliance is the only way out. Tangning drew on their strength and pointed out a clear path for them.

The formation of the Western Region Allied Powers by the eighteen small countries swept across the desert like a hurricane. The messenger from Dayue who was kicked out of the country quickly brought the news back to Dayue.

Deep in the desert, a huge city rises from the ground. The city is lined with shops and bustling with people. Hundreds of thousands of people live here.

This is the real city. Whether it is Wu Tan Zi or the Western Region Allies, compared with it, they can only be regarded as villages.

This is Dayue City, where the Great Moon Kingdom, the superpower in the Western Region, is located.

Inside the city, there is a magnificent palace.

The Lord of Dayue Kingdom looked at the envoys kneeling below, his face was as dark as water, and asked: "Those small and humble countries really dare to humiliate me, Dayue, like this?"

An envoy knelt on the ground and said in a trembling voice: "The leader of the Wutanzi Kingdom said that our country is just a country of bandits and wants to force them to submit. It is simply a fool's dream..."

Another person had an angry expression and said: "Those small countries think that if they are in alliance, they can fight against me, Oyue. Lord, for the sake of Oyue's majesty, we must not let them go so easily!"

"Allies of the Western Region..." The leader of the Dayue Kingdom murmured these words, his expression becoming even more gloomy.

He sent envoys to persuade these small countries in the Western Region to surrender, with the purpose of integrating their forces and creating a death-defying army on the battlefield, tearing a hole in Xiaowan, and the Dayue army followed closely behind, uniting with Wusun, Seriously damage or subvert Xiaowan.

Xiaowan was able to maintain a stalemate for such a long time with 100,000 troops against the 200,000 coalition forces of the two countries. These 10,000 people were the ones who broke the deadlock, so naturally he was not willing to let his soldiers die.

He had not paid attention to these small countries before because they could not catch his eye at all. He had never thought that these small countries with a population of only a few hundred or thousands would dare to disobey his orders.

Not only did they not surrender, but they formed an ally and drove back the envoys of Dayue. This was a shame that was difficult to wash away for Dayue.

"This thing can't be handled well, so what's the use of you!" He looked at the envoys with cold eyes and said, "Let Yu Tian and the Lord of Gumo come to see me."

Khotan and Gumo are also big countries in the Western Region, with a population of more than 20,000, and each with more than 5,000 troops. They are considered leaders among the first-class countries.

However, above the A-level countries, there are three superpowers. The difference between the A-level countries and these superpowers is not the same as that between them and the C-level and D-level countries. Khotan and Gumo surrendered to the Great Powers as early as a year ago. Yue, because their country was not weak, they were able to retain the name of the country. Unlike other countries, the king and ministers were executed and the citizens were reduced to lowly pariahs...

After drinking some tea, two figures came into the main hall, both saluted and said, "I have met the Lord."

The leader of Dayue Kingdom looked at them and asked: "Have you heard about the affairs of the allies in the Western Region?"

The two nodded and said, "I just heard about it."

"These small and humble countries dare to offend the power of our Big Moon. They will not regret their death." The Lord of the Big Moon glanced at them and said: "My Lord ordered you two to lead 10,000 victorious troops to attack the allies in the Western Regions and praise our Big Moon. National prestige..."

Nowadays, most of Dayue's troops are in a stalemate with Xiaowan. There are only a few thousand soldiers and horses in the city. Although Yutian and Gumo can barely make up 10,000 people, they still need all the soldiers in the country to come out.

Even though the leaders of Khotan and Gumo believed that Dayue did not need to go to war for a small Western Region ally, they did not dare to disobey the orders of the Great Yue Kingdom. The Western Region Allies formed by the Eighteen Kingdoms only had a maximum strength of 5,000 troops. Most of them are stragglers and cannot be compared with the elites of the big countries. Khotan and Gumo can use all their elites to wipe them out, so there is no big problem.

What's more, the word used by the leader of the Dayue Kingdom is "crusade", which is probably mainly about threats. It would be best if the allies in the Western Region can surrender as soon as possible. If they are stubborn, they can only be beaten to surrender.

…

The news that Dayue was going to attack the allies in the Western Region was not deliberately concealed. In order to build momentum, Dayue even issued a nationwide announcement, and the news soon spread like wildfire.

Dayue is a super strong man in the desert. In the past two years, several big countries have been conquered by them. There is no need for any reason to annex these small countries, which are as small as the smallest.

Although the newly established Western Region Allies can be considered a considerable force, their strength and numbers are only comparable to those of Khotan and Gumo.

Now, under the orders of Otsuki, the two countries have joined forces to attack the Western Region Alliance, and the result is naturally obvious.

Ever since she refused Ot Yue's offer to surrender, Tang Ning knew that such a day would come sooner or later, but Ot Yue's response came so quickly and fiercely, which was a little beyond Tang Ning's expectations.

He originally thought that Dayue was busy with the war with Xiaowan and could not allocate troops to deal with them, but he did not expect that he could gather 10,000 troops so quickly.

They are also countries in the Western Region. For small countries like Wu Tan Zi and Shan Heng, the military strength of the entire country is only double digits. However, Da Yue has already invested 100,000 troops on the battlefield, but he can still mobilize 10,000 people to conquer them. They show that these superpowers have a strong foundation.

"My lord, Khotan and Gumo are equal to us in terms of military strength. They used to be big countries in the Western Region, but they surrendered to Dayue not long ago, and now they are affiliated with Dayue..."

When Bahar and Tangning introduced the situation, although the expressions on their faces were a little serious, they were not very scared. So what if Yu Tian and Gu Mo joined forces. Counting the conquered horse thieves, their troops were even stronger than them. When the time comes to catch them by surprise, the strength of the allies may be doubled.

Tang Ning had learned about this not long ago. The three superpowers in the Western Region were not so powerful before. Dayue and Wusun had only a few hundred thousand people and tens of thousands of troops a few years ago, but since Xiaowan was the first to open the After embarking on the road of annexation, Dayue and Wusun were stimulated and began to annex surrounding countries crazily. As a result, in the Western Region today, in addition to their three kingdoms and their vassals, there are only these small countries that they are too lazy to annex. .

Khotan and Gumo were considered big countries before. Unlike the small countries of their allies, they often went to war and the overall quality of their soldiers was better than that of their allies. This was something that Tang Ning could not change in a short period of time.

Even if they have thousands of horse thieves who can attack them unprepared at the critical moment, they cannot underestimate the 10,000 soldiers and horses of Khotan and Gumo.

This is not a small fight between small countries, this is a real war.

This was the first difficulty that the Allied Powers in the Western Region encountered after they were formed. More than a dozen leaders of the Allied Powers had already arrived in Wutanzi, looking serious and discussing with Tang Ning how to deal with the Khotan and Gumo coalition forces.

Faced with such a powerful enemy, there is no doubt that the eighteen countries must unite firmly together.

Before Tang Ning could speak, these kingdom leaders said that they would gather all their forces to defend against the enemy.

All the member states of the Allied Powers are urgently deploying troops. As the leader of the Allied Powers, Tang Ning needs to find a commander for the Allied Powers.

Old Zheng never forgot to sharpen his knife. Tangning walked to the corridor, squatted side by side with him, and said, "Old Zheng, I leave this battle to you..."

Lao Zheng put away the knife, rubbed his hands habitually, and asked: "Are you going to kill or capture?"

Tangning thought for a while and said, "If you can, take prisoners. We are not like Da Yue, who has a big family and a big business. We should try not to waste..."

…

Two days later, in addition to the 5,000 soldiers and horses gathered by more than a dozen countries, there were also generals from various countries gathered outside the city.

Lao Zheng stood in front of the formation, and someone knelt down on one knee in front of him, "Please give the order, Marshal!"

"Marshal..." Old Zheng glanced at him, with a strange look in his eyes, and murmured: "No one has called me that for a long time..."
