The Yelan Principality was located in the south-west of the Raging Wave Kingdom.
In the entire human world, it was second only to the Four Great Kingdoms.
Unfortunately, it was sandwiched between the Yan Empire, the Raging Wave Kingdom, and the Western Liang Kingdom, so it never had the opportunity to expand. At present, it seemed that the principality was its biggest limit of development.
Fortunately, it was sandwiched between the three great kingdoms, so it was not impossible for it to be annexed.
Originally, the Yelan Principality had four provinces, but one province was later taken away by the traitor Ashio family. Now, it only had three provinces.
Twenty years ago, Rouran City was only a part of the Yelan Principality, and Ashio was the governor of the Yelan Principality's Rouran Province.
However, for some reason, Ashio suddenly rebelled against the Yelan Principality. At that time, although Ashio was the governor of the Rouran Province, only the most powerful troops followed him in the rebellion, and he only had a quarter of the province's territory.
Twenty years ago, the Yelan Principality sent the entire country's army to quell the rebellion, a total of 300,000 troops. At that time, Ashio only had a little more than 20,000 troops.
As a last resort, Ashio asked for help from the Raging Wave Kingdom, and pledged allegiance to the Nu Lang Family.
At that time, the king who had just succeeded the throne suddenly rebelled, and sent two armies, Turin Tuo and Count Sauron, to save Rouran City.
Turin Tuo led the army to attack the capital of the Yelan Principality, and Count Sauron led the army to save Rouran City.
In that battle, the Ashio family and the Raging Wave Kingdom won a complete victory. From then on, the Ashio family's Rouran City became a vassal of the Raging Wave Kingdom.
After that defeat, the Yelan Principality was unable to recover for nearly ten years.
Ashio took the opportunity to expand, and continuously invaded the Yelan Principality, expanding continuously, and finally occupying the entire Rouran Province.
Originally, Ashio wanted to continue expanding, and even tried to destroy the Yelan Principality and replace it.
However, the Western Liang Kingdom and the Yan Empire would not sit back and watch the Raging Wave Kingdom completely swallow the Yelan Principality. Even the king rebelled, not wanting the Ashio family to expand so quickly, and even more so, not wanting the Ashio family to replace the Yelan Principality.
With the suppression of the three hegemonic powers, Ashio could no longer move, and had to stop his expansion. After that, he became obsessed with the Dao of Immortality. Wasn't it because he was dispirited that his ambitions were not fulfilled?
The entire nation saw Rouran Province as their homeland, and there was not a day that they did not think of it.
The entire nation viewed the Rouran Province as their homeland, and there was not a day that they did not wish to take it back.
According to Earth's historical analogy, the Battle of Rouran City ten years ago was no less than the Song Dynasty's Jingkang Humiliation to the Yelan Principality.
The Yelan Principality's monarch, Duke Lan Mu, had died in Rouran City. Crown Prince Lan Hao had died in the battle to defend the capital.
If not for the 200,000 troops of the Western Liang Kingdom crossing the desert and threatening the Raging Wave Kingdom, the Yelan Principality would have perished.
In that battle, the Yelan Principality had lost two generations of masters, the monarch and the crown prince.
Not only that, but it had also lost a quarter of its territory and a fifth of its people.
This was not just the pain of losing an arm. It was a national humiliation for generations.
Since then, the relationship between the Yelan Principality and the Raging Wave Kingdom had frozen. Even after the truce, they were still enemies, and no diplomatic relations had been established.
The Western Liang Kingdom had become the Yelan Principality's biggest backer and savior.
After nearly ten years of enduring hardships, the Yelan Dukedom had recovered its peak military strength. The entire dukedom had an army of 400,000 soldiers.
At this time, although the Raging Wave Kingdom had not fallen into a civil war, the struggle for the throne between Jung Yeon and Zhi Li, and the paralysis of the king, caused the Raging Wave Kingdom to be unable to display its powerful national strength.
Rouran City had lost two generations of masters in one night, and was at its weakest.
This was a rare opportunity. The Yelan Principality immediately mobilized all its troops to invade Rouran and take back its homeland.
Crown Prince Lan Tu had already issued a military order in front of the Yelan Principality's subjects and Duke Lan Shi. There was no way they would lose this battle. If they did not take back Rouran City, they would not return.
Duke Lan Shi had also issued a decree. This battle was a battle to wash away the national humiliation. No one was allowed to drag the Crown Prince down. If anyone dared to obstruct or disrupt this battle, no matter how high their status or power was, they would be beheaded.
…
Helan Pass was the gateway to Rouran.
The southwest of Rouran Province bordered the Yelan Principality. Most of it was high mountains and rivers, and the terrain was dangerous.
To enter Rouran, one had to first take Helan Pass.
After more than a decade of construction, the present Helan Pass had far surpassed the Suo Clan's Sky Wolf Pass and Savage Canyon. It was a rare fortified pass that was easy to defend and difficult to attack.
Rouran City usually had more than 30,000 troops stationed at Helan Pass. Now that it was facing the invasion of the Yelan Principality, the number of troops in the pass exceeded 50,000.
Both sides had been at war for several days and nights.
In fact, the 300,000 troops of the Yelan Principality had already invaded Rouran City a few days ago. The southwest border city, Helan Pass, had been surrounded for several days. Both armies had been fighting for several days and nights.
Ashita Liren had already sent a messenger to Fengdu Royal City to request for help a few days ago.
But now, the King was only alive and could no longer handle any political affairs.
Princess Jung Yeon made a prompt decision and borrowed the King's imperial seal to order the kingdom's army to rescue Rouran City.
However, apart from the tens of thousands of troops in Tianshui City, there were also the palace guards. Jung Yeon could no longer mobilize a single soldier.
The palace guards could not be mobilized, and the ground troops in Tianshui City did not exceed 20,000. They had to defend both Tianshui City and Sky Wolf Pass. Even if they wanted to save Rouran City, they were powerless.
Of course, Ashita Liren could still ask for help from the Kingdom of Dongli.
The Kingdom of Dongli had more than a million troops, but unless they flew over, they would have to pass through the Yan Empire, which was simply impossible.
Moreover, the King of Dongli had personally rushed over to save his disciple and was even absent from his son's wedding.
However, he could not mobilize a single soldier to save Rouran City.
As the ruler of a country, he had to distinguish between public and private matters.
Therefore, the only person who could save Rouran City now was Zhi Li.
He had gained the allegiance of all the nobles and dukes in the Raging Wave Kingdom and could mobilize more than a million troops. Saving Rouran City would be a piece of cake.
He did not disappoint and made an extremely demanding request. Ashita Liren resigned from her position as the governor and married him as a concubine.
…
Just a quarter of an hour ago, Ashita Liren had just received Prince Zhi Li's special envoy, Ling Ao.
She had officially received Zhi Li's attitude and handwritten letter, in which Zhi Li expressed his love for Liren with all the words he could.
Immediately, Ashita Liren tore Zhi Li's letter into pieces and threw it at Ling Ao's face.
If it were anyone else, it would be reasonable for them to exchange their life for the foundation of Rouran City.
However, Ashita Liren was a stubborn person. She would rather die than submit and would not sully her innocence for the sake of Rouran City.
She had already decided to personally lead the army to Helan Pass and fight the Crown Prince Lan Tu's 300,000 troops.
If she could not protect Helan Pass and Rouran City, she would bury herself with them. She would still rather die than submit.
However, before heading to Helan Pass, she had come to see Søren for the last time.
First of all, Søren had performed too many miracles. Although the crisis this time seemed to be completely unsolvable, she still came to find Søren with the last hope that he had a way to save them.
Secondly, she was here to entrust her orphans to him. If Rouran City was destined to be destroyed, then she would ask Søren to fight Ashi Yuanba and Ashinan back to Tianshui City.
Therefore, she asked Sauron if he had a way to save Rouran City, almost without any hope.
Unexpectedly, Søren answered straightforwardly that he had a way to save Rouran City.
She could not believe it. In the face of the invasion of 300,000 troops, Søren could not produce a single reinforcement, yet he said that he had a way to save Rouran City.
When she asked about the condition of saving Rouran City, Søren actually said that if he succeeded in saving Rouran City, he would give her a slap on the buttocks.
"Say that again," Ashita Liren said.
Søren said, "If I save Rouran City, let me slap your buttocks."
During this period of time, Ashita Liren had lost count of how many times Søren had teased her.
However, there had never been any physical contact. Now, it had escalated to a spanking.
How was this just teasing? He was practically raping her with words.
In an instant, Søren felt the air turn cold.
Then, he lost control of his body and was pressed onto the table.
Smack! Smack! Smack! Smack!
Smack! Ashita Liren used the hilt of her sword to smack Søren's buttocks and thighs dozens of times.
Instantly, Søren's lower body went completely numb from the pain.
After smacking him for a full 30 to 50 times, Ashita Liren finally released Søren and stared at him. "Alright, it's a deal!"
Søren was in so much pain that he could not even stand. He grinned and said, "It's a deal!"
Ashita Liren said, "I will lead all the elites of Rouran City to Helan Pass and fight Crown Prince Lan Tu to the death."
Søren said, "No! You can't command these troops. Furthermore, your father has neglected politics and military law. Rouran City's military strength is no longer what it used to be. You will definitely lose this battle. "
Ashita Liren said, "Once Helan Pass is breached, the 300,000 troops will enter Rouran City as if there is no one there. As long as they are locked up, I will stay. If they die, I will die. "
Søren frowned. "Why do you have to do this? You should stay in Rouran City. Even if it falls, you can still go to Tianshui City. "
Ah Shi Liren said coldly, "I'd rather die. I won't retreat, and I won't run. Since all of you are forcing me like this, death is the end of all troubles. "
With that, Ashita Liren turned and left.
"Ah Li …" Søren endured the pain and chased after her, grabbing her jade arm.
Perhaps it was because this cry was filled with concern, but Li Ren's heart trembled. She did not fly into a rage because of Søren's grip on her arm.
Søren still did not let go. He looked into her eyes and said, "Ah Nan can tell that I am a bad person at a glance. In order to make you swear loyalty to Jung Yeon, I used shameless tactics to pester you and even tried to conquer you in love. Who asked you to only care about feelings and not benefits? "
"That's right. Everything I did was to gain your loyalty and support. But to me, protecting you and Ashi Yuanba is more important than making you swear loyalty to Jung Yeon. "
"You refused to support us publicly for the sake of Rouran City's safety and Ashi Yuanba's future. I can't guarantee that Jung Yeon and I will win. And if you openly stand on our side and we lose in the future, your Rouran City will also suffer a disaster. "
"I can't guarantee that we will win, but I can guarantee that I will die before you."
I will die before you!
These words made Ashita Liren's heart tremble.
Because there was someone else who would die before her, and that was her younger brother Aslo.
Søren continued, "Moreover, I will not make any political deals with you, nor will I force you to agree to any political conditions. Whether or not you publicly support Princess Jung Yeon is entirely up to you. Regardless of whether or not you publicly swear loyalty to Princess Jung Yeon, I will do my best to save Rouran City. "
Ashita Liren sneered, "It's just the Heart Piercing Spell."
Søren laughed, "That's right. This is the difference between dating and rape. Rape is forced, while dating is coaxing and deceiving. But the ultimate goal is to sleep with her. "
Hearing him speak so blatantly and disgustingly, Ah Shi Liren became restless again and wanted to beat him half to death.
But now, Søren was beaten half to death.
At this moment, Søren's expression turned serious, "Ah Li, don't come out of seclusion to fight with Lan Tu's army. Defend the city and hold on for as long as you can."
Ashita Liren shook her head, "I won't be able to hold on for long."
Søren closed his eyes and calculated, "Six days. Can we hold on for six days? Within six days, I will make Lan Tu's 300,000 troops retreat. "
"How is that possible?" Ashita Liren said in disbelief, "Taking back Rouran City is the will of the entire Yelan Principality. Lan Tu will not retreat. Once he does, it will mean his political defeat. Even if Grand Duke Lan Shi dies, he will take back Rouran Province and wash away the shame. "
To make the 300,000 troops of the Yelan Principality retreat within six days was harder than ascending to heaven.
In fact, it would take Søren two days to travel from here to Yelan.
Søren said, "Ah Li, if I can do it and save Rouran City within six days, not only will I spank you, but I'll also take off your pants and do it. How about that?"
Ashita Liren ignored him and left.
It was not until he could no longer see her figure that her voice came into Soran's ears.
"It's a deal!"
Just that sentence alone made Søren feel like he was going to faint, and blood almost spurted out of his nose.
This was Ashita Liren, the Blue Temptress, a woman with skin of ice and bones of jade.
Her beautiful buttocks were as white as snow, round and plump, and extremely charming.
He was afraid that before the fight even started, Sauron would die from blood loss!
…
An hour later, in the darkness of the night!
Ashita Liren led a few thousand cavalrymen and galloped southwest toward Helan Pass.
Søren rode alone toward the east, taking a detour to the capital of Yelan.
Along the way, experts from the Shadow Pavilion met up with him one after another.
Fifty kilometers out of Rouran City, a peerlessly beautiful figure was waiting on the road on a snow-white steed. It was Princess Jung Yeon.
After meeting up with her, Søren continued to gallop southeast.
Two days later!
Søren and Princess Jung Yeon disguised themselves and entered the Yelan Principality incognito.
At this time, there were still four days before Søren and Liren agreed to rescue Rouran City within six days.
Tomorrow, Søren would officially start his plan to rescue Rouran City!
…
In a hotel in the Yelan Principality!
Søren was biting on his towel, twitching in pain.
Ashita Liren was really ruthless. She had beaten Søren's buttocks until his flesh was lacerated.
In addition, he had been riding day and night without rest for the past two days. The wounds on Søren's buttocks and legs had completely split open. His flesh was badly mangled, and his pants were stained with blood.
Princess Jung Yeon was cleaning his wounds with strong alcohol and pulling off the strips of cloth that were stuck to them.
"Ah …" Søren cried out in pain after biting off the towel.
"Don't shout. You'll be heard," Jung Yeon said.
"It hurts. Why don't I try hitting you?" Søren said, "If you don't want me to shout, you can kiss my buttocks."
After saying that, Søren regretted it!
During this period of time, he had become used to teasing Ashita Liren. When facing Princess Jung Yeon, he also instinctively teased her.
Jung Yeon frowned slightly, but her eyes were eager.
Then, on her beautiful face, her petal-like lips kissed the wound on Søren's buttocks.
Søren was instantly stunned.
She, she really kissed him!
