Chapter 947: Secret Omen (4)
Xiao Ruiyuan nodded slightly and didn’t hide anything, "Recently, a powerful cavalry appeared out of nowhere, destroying the neighboring country of Qiuzi Country and now they seem intent on troubling Qiuzi Country itself. The situation in Qiuzi Country has just stabilized and they are unable to resist this cavalry, so they sent envoys to The Emperor for help, and The Emperor is considering sending troops."
That cavalry was not large in number, only about twenty thousand strong, but they were well-armed and valiant in battle, having defeated the neighbor of Qiuzi Country in just over a month. Qiuzi Country might have an army of 100,000, but if it really came to battle, they surely wouldn’t stand a chance.
Moreover, those twenty thousand cavalry might just be the vanguard; no one knows if there are even more cavalry waiting behind them.
A neighboring state’s distress can spell trouble at home; if Qiuzi Country falls, there’s a high possibility that this cavalry will target Great Chu next. It would be better for Great Chu to join forces with Qiuzi Country and stop this cavalry at the border than to let them drive straight in and plunder and murder the citizens of Great Chu.
If it were possible to combine forces with the army of Qiuzi Country and eliminate this cavalry to prevent future concerns, that would be ideal.
Upon hearing this, Mo Yan suddenly remembered Xue tuanzi once mentioned her first life, where Great Chu had experienced an unprecedented great war. After the invaders entered Great Chu’s territory, they slaughtered and enslaved the civilians, and within just a few years, the surviving population was less than thirty percent of the original.
However, that war had erupted after she had died from the plague in her first life; the timing didn’t match up. Was she overthinking it and this powerful cavalry was not the same as the invaders from her first life? Or had the course of history already changed, advancing these events?
Considering the latter possibility, Mo Yan felt a chill throughout her body and quickly asked Xuetuan in her consciousness, "What exactly is going on, has that war been brought forward?"
