Chapter 2572 Alliance with Persia, Qin's Western Expedition

"Mu Linye is dead!" The sudden system notification made Wang Yu sigh inwardly.

The veteran powerhouses on the Dragon and Tiger Rankings are almost all gone, and now, this is another one missing.

Before the end of the year, Wang Yu reassigned some of the generals in the army to avoid having the same few generals stationed in the camp and in charge of the army for a long time.

Wang Yanzhang and the other four sharpshooters were transferred back to the Imperial Guard.

Instead, the Huang family, father and son, and other generals who had served in the north for many years, replaced Wang Yanzhang and his men in various legions such as Feiyu and Shenwu.

Furthermore, it wasn't just Wang Yanzhang; Guo Ziyi was also transferred from the Flying Feather Legion to the Imperial Guard system, while the former Imperial Guard general, Hulü Guang, was appointed as the Flying Feather Grand General.

Wang Yanzhang's path to becoming a true god is only one path. Wang Yu had personally met Mu Linye during the Western Rong War, so he could naturally determine which true god had fallen this time.

However, in the world today, only that side has the highest intensity of war.

In the remaining regions, the former Wu territory was already nearing its end, and Tang was stabilizing its internal affairs while also consolidating its previous gains.

The Great Xiao was also mainly focused on consolidating their previous gains. Although they wanted to work with the Tang and Sui dynasties to completely destroy Wei, the Tang and Sui dynasties were too wary of the Great Xiao and preferred to wait until they destroyed Wei rather than allow the Great Xiao to grow stronger.

If neither of these two responds, Xiao, with his main focus on recuperating and consolidating the gains of the battle, is unwilling to engage in a major conflict with Wei, so it is naturally difficult for things to settle down there.

As for Qian, after the New Year, Jiang Chaoyu and Jiang Ziya were busy stabilizing the internal situation and eliminating the remnants of Jiang Che's faction. They maintained a certain level of military pressure on Xuan Xiao, but at least until now, they have not launched another major attack.

Although there is still some intensity of fighting, it has decreased significantly compared to previous years.

In comparison, it was indeed the Qin Dynasty, located in the far west, that experienced the most intense warfare at this time.

Over the years, the Qin Dynasty had finally managed to carve out some land from the Western Rong, but Napoleon took it all back in one fell swoop.

Gaul was powerful, and the Qin Dynasty was originally prepared to suffer some losses in silence.

But last year, the Coup of 18 Brumaire occurred, and Napoleon officially came to power.

Although Napoleon had made sufficient preparations for this coup, such events inevitably cause some internal instability, plunging the Gallo Empire into turmoil.

It was under these circumstances that Ying Zheng of Qin had some ideas and prepared to take back this land.

Although the lands seized by the Gallic Empire were originally taken from the Western Rong, since they had already been taken by them, they belonged to the Great Qin.

In Ying Zheng's eyes, this land was still the lost territory of their Great Qin, which had been taken away by the Gallic Empire, and he was always thinking about taking it back.

However, if that were all, Ying Zheng would most likely not actually take action. The Coup of 18 Brumaire did have some impact on Gaul, but Napoleon was not just a military strategist; he was also a superb politician, leaving them with very few opportunities to exploit him.

But it was at this time that the Persian Empire, south of the Gallic Empire, took the initiative to contact them.

Both countries were under military threat from the Gallo-Gallic Empire, their common enemy. Even the relatively weaker Qin Dynasty wanted to seize this opportunity to gain a foothold in Gaul, let alone the much more powerful Persian Empire.

With such a powerful ally, Ying Zheng truly began to consider the feasibility of this battle, rather than just having a vague idea.

Before the war began, opinions within the Qin state were not unified, with Wei Liao, Wang Qi, and Ying Ji all holding conservative views.

This is because Ying Zheng was too domineering; otherwise, they would have not only shown a conservative attitude but would have openly stated that they were not optimistic about the future.

However, the royal family members Ying Beimo and Ying Dang, along with the general Li Xin, had a very strong desire to attack. This was a rare opportunity, and they had the powerful ally, the Persian Empire, to help them.

On the other hand, the position of their Great Qin was too awkward. If they didn't move westward, they couldn't very well attack the Great Wu Dynasty in the east, could they?

The Great Wu Dynasty's national strength is still superior to that of Gaul, especially since they are both among the Seven Great Dynasties. However, unlike the other dynasties, Great Wu does not give them any chance at all.

In previous years, they preferred to miss some opportunities to recuperate and rebuild for three years, because they did not want to weaken themselves by engaging in militarism and give others an opportunity to take advantage of them.

The Great Wu has been ignoring the Great Qin because it intends to use them as a buffer zone on the border, and has even been supporting them to some extent at times.

But if they continue to provoke Da Wu, Da Wu might not ignore them anymore.

Especially when facing the Great Wu at its peak, they had absolutely no chance of winning.

Among the various war factions, Li Xin was the most radical, claiming that if given an army of 200,000, he could recover lost territory and even seize another piece of land from the Gallic Empire.

In contrast, Bai Jian, another general whom Ying Zheng highly regarded, demanded a full 700,000 troops before agreeing to fight this battle. He absolutely refused to engage without such a large force.

Even if they emptied the entire Qin Dynasty, they still couldn't muster 700,000 soldiers, unless they resorted to mass troop buildup and conscription at all costs.

However, if that were to happen, the basic production of Qin would collapse directly. Unless the war could be won in a very short time, Qin itself would collapse.

The reason Bai Jian demanded an army of 700,000 was actually to indicate that he also believed it was not the right time to fight this battle.

Even with so many conservatives, Ying Zheng himself still leaned more towards the pro-war faction.

Or perhaps it was because the Qin Dynasty was in such an awkward position, completely surrounded by the two major powers of Great Wu and Gaul.

Great Wu advanced steadily, giving them no chance whatsoever, while Gaul continued to grow stronger and stronger over the years, widening the gap between the two countries.

It's rare for the Qin Dynasty to see their opponent show even a sliver of health or a hint of weakness. If they don't gamble on their national destiny now, they might not even have the chance to do so in the future.

The Great Wu clearly had no designs on them, but the Gallic Empire, on the other hand, was eyeing them with hostility, having built several transit stations along the border to store grain, fodder, and various military supplies.

All of this preparation was clearly for the purpose of launching an attack.

Under various circumstances, Ying Zheng ultimately decided to wage this war.
