Enemy

Translator: 549690339

In the fifth month of the 7295th year of the Great Zhou calendar, after a two-month-long tug-of-war, hundreds of thousands of West Garrison troops at the border suffered heavy casualties. Even the supposedly unconquerable West Garrison Pass was on the verge of collapse due to the fierce offensive of the Qin army.

Under such circumstances, many upright and kind scholars in the Great Zhou Dynasty wrote to the emperor to advise him to send troops to help the border troops in the western border.

After all, once the West Garrison Pass was breached, nearly a million Qin soldiers would enter.

The entire northwest of the Great Zhou would instantly turn into the most tragic purgatory in the human world.

This result was unacceptable to many scholars.

However, the vast majority of the documents they submitted were like a stone sinking into the sea. Even if a very small number of them received a reply, most of them were just perfunctory words from the Imperial Court.

Seeing that no one in the imperial court was paying attention to them, many scholars were instantly agitated.

Immediately, he posted a message pointing at the noses of many nobles and officials.

After all, many scholars had their own strength of character. Since no one paid attention to their advice, they would scold all the officials in the imperial court.

He cursed them for being a group of crafty officials who disregarded the country.

Many officials in the court remained silent and did not reply.

After all, this group of scholars who had lived a good life since they were young had the ability to guide the country, but they could not even get a single official rank. How could they expect them to understand the current situation of the Great Zhou?

This war was different from any other time in the past; Great Qin was truly going all out. Apart from a small number of soldiers that could intimidate the Great Tang at the border, almost all of Great Qin’s soldiers had come out.

In the face of such an offensive, even the supposedly indestructible West Garrison Fortress was on the verge of collapse.

Moreover, the most important thing was that not only had the western border been opened up, but hundreds of thousands of Qin soldiers were also attacking the northern borders. In other words, the Qin army had opened up two huge battle lines on the Great Zhou side at the same time, and each of them had an absolute advantage.

Under such circumstances.

The Great Zhou could still hold on if they gathered all their forces at the Dragon Subdue Pass, Tiger Subdue Pass, and Futian Pass. They only needed to grit their teeth and stall for time. When the Qin army’s momentum was not so strong, everything would be solved.

After all, the Qin army had come out in full force to attack the Great Zhou. The

Qin army’s rear was definitely extremely empty. The reason why the King of

Qin dared to be so decisive and ruthless was probably because he was prepared to end the battle quickly and not give the other countries that were eyeing him covetously a chance to get a share of the loot.

On the other hand, after understanding the Qin army’s military plan, as long as the Great Zhou did not suffer a large-scale defeat, relying on the advantages of fighting on their own land and the shorter supply routes, it would not be a problem for them to delay the Qin army for a year and a half.

It didn’t even take a year and a half.

After mobilizing millions of troops to kill the Great Zhou, the Qin Kingdom’s military strength was already very empty. The Great Tang in the south, which was also restless, would definitely not let go of such a good opportunity to attack.

Moreover, once the Qin armv on the Eastern Expedition was thwarted, there was no need for anyone to make things difficult for them.

In summary, in the eyes of the many officials of the Great Zhou Imperial Court and the emperor himself, it was very wise not to send troops to reinforce the Western Garrison Army at the western border.

If they rushed to the western border, not only would it extend the supply line of the Great Zhou army, but it might also be cut off by the Qin army in the north.

Years of war that could not make ends meet had already consumed a lot of money, food, and armor from the Great Zhou’s national treasury. It was clearly very irrational to extend the battle line now.

Moreover, the people of the northwest were not from the Great Zhou Dynasty. They were citizens of the Great Qian Kingdom five thousand years ago. What did it have to do with them whether they died or not?

On the contrary, it was a good thing from another perspective.

After all, if the number of Western Garrison Army soldiers who died was high enough.

It could also wear down more of the Qin army’s strength and cause both sides to suffer heavy losses.

As for the people who died in the war in the northwest, they could make some space for the Central Plains, which was becoming more and more crowded. After the war was over, without the obstruction of the Western Garrison Army, the imperial court could enfeoffed some nobles from the Central Plains and further strengthen the Great Zhou’s rule over the northwest.

All in all.

No matter how one looked at it, leading the army to rescue the northwest was a losing business.

Thus, all the politicians in the Great Zhou Imperial Court chose to go blind. They completely ignored the huge difference in military strength between the northwest and the Qin army. They were determined to use the armies of the northwest to wear down the strength of the Qin army.

Only children would naively talk about right and wrong.

Mature politicians had a heart of stone, and they only knew how to weigh the pros and cons.

As for the human tragedy under the pros and cons, as long as it did not burn them, what did it have to do with them?

After everything was settled, he would just push the blame to the Qin army. After all, the dead could not talk.

Under such circumstances, anyone with a discerning eye could see that the Imperial Court had already given up on the northwest and was determined to fight to the death with the Qin army at the three checkpoints.

It was not realistic to use the northwest to resist the power of the Qin army.

As expected, when the war advanced to the third month, the western border began to shake.

However, just as everyone in the Great Zhou Dynasty thought that the Western Garrison Army would not be able to withstand the Qin army’s attack, a mysterious army appeared on the battlefield of the Western Garrison Pass..
