Realm of Power

Yue Xiner walked back and forth angrily. She didn't know what was going on with the people in front of her. As the real hostage, she was blocked out, while the unknown Song Hua was taken away. When she thought about the tens of thousands of people in the entire Yue Valley, Putting her life on Song Hua, who had long been rumored to be a spy from the Dongting people, Yue Xiner felt unable to calm down. She had never had a good impression of Song Hua, not even the entire Yue Valley. The entire wilderness knew that Song Hua from Yue Valley was sinister and vicious, but her father was his confidant, and it was Song Hua who was in the conference hall just now. He offered to take himself as a hostage and suddenly pushed his father to the forefront, seeking glory behind his back! She cursed softly with her red and seductive lips, the riding crop in her hand rattled as her fingers twisted it, and her deerskin boots kicked a small stone away.

At the height of the back line of Falcon's black army, Song Hua was trying hard to explain the tactical arrangements. At the end, even Murphy O'Brien believed that if this method was followed, the battle would be won. The fat man's eyes were on Song Hua. On a sketch drawn on the ground with a wooden branch He took it back, raised his head and looked at Song Hua for a while, then said with a smile, "Interesting, your memory is really good. This sketch spans hundreds of miles, and you can even remember the turns in the river, and you also know these turns. The difference is that he is indeed a thoughtful person,

"But it's a pity that you still haven't lied to me." The fat man took a deep breath and said suddenly

"What does your majesty mean? Everything Song Hua said is true. If your majesty doesn't believe it, you can personally send scouts to explore." Song Hua raised his head with a look of astonishment on his face, "Don't look any further. The people from Dongting blocked the front because of the terrain. Unfamiliar, the scouts were blocked from coming back! "The fat man smiled slightly. "It doesn't matter whether it's true or false. The whole plan seems very feasible, but in fact there is an extremely important point. You are still holding back and not saying it yet."

"Your Majesty's words. Song Hua really doesn't understand?" Song Hua's eyes flashed, and for the first time a hint of horror flashed across his face with his head lowered. "You really don't understand? Then let me ask you, in the cold winter in the wilderness, let the prairie people completely Before gathering, the imperial army also needs someone who can escape the cold winter. Location, why didn't you say anything? "The fat man sneered, because the best location is naturally the Yue Valley where the temperature is much warmer than outside. You didn't mention Yue Valley before, but in fact, this is what you wanted to say in the end. In a word, keep Yue Valley. It is best to let Yue Shan, who has outstanding logistics capabilities, manage Yue Valley. This way, turbulence can be minimized and sufficient logistics supplies can be provided to the empire as quickly as possible."

Song Hua looked silent

The smile at the corner of the fat man's mouth turned cold, his eyes became a thin line, and a faint sense of oppression from the emperor spread around, and he said slowly, "With the Yue Valley, the empire can take the initiative in the entire battle in advance! With hostages in hand, , the empire will definitely agree to let Yue Shan manage Yue Valley! While the Dongting grassland people are trembling in the cold wind, the imperial army can rest and wait for the war in the warm Yue Valley! Then the army will encircle and decide the outcome in a battle. What a wonderful and exciting strategic plan. To be honest. I was almost convinced by you."

Song Hua's face turned a little pale, and his whole body felt completely unable to move under the fat man's sharp sword-like gaze. Large beads of sweat rolled down his forehead, even though the cold wind blowing from high places made his clothes fly. . He still felt like a prey being stared at by a ferocious beast, but he still had a bit of luck in his heart that the problem would not be discovered. Unless the other party knows the nature of the grassland people, they will definitely not see the problem!

"You may not know yet, but I am the king of the grassland people. I have a hundred thousand grassland cavalry under my command. I know the habits of the grassland people much better than you!" The fat man changed his voice, his eyes turned cold, and his tone was heavy and obvious. With murderous intent, Song Hua's face turned pale in an instant. He knew why the problem was seen through. Playing such a trick in front of a grassland khan is really asking for death.

"Your Majesty, is there a misunderstanding?" Murphy O'Brien, who was next to him, looked confused and had no idea what the two of them were talking about.

"Misunderstanding? Then ask him, did I make a mistake?" The fat man waved his hand and snorted heavily. "The cold winter will make the prairie people gather at a certain point, but also, the prairie people in the cold winter are The most terrifying wolf, when on the verge of life and death, everyone in the tribe will stand up, old man, Children, women, and all living prairie people will fight to the death with us. There are at least 200,000 prairie people in the wilderness east of Tianlang Mansion. They will fight to the last man in front of the advancing imperial army. The result of the encirclement by the imperial army is to use One hundred thousand warrior corpses in exchange for an uninhabited dead zone"

"This..." Song Hua's expression changed. Damn it, he was at a loss under the fat man's questions. Why did he forget that the Falcon Empire also had prairie people?

The fat man suddenly paused and said, "Then after the cold winter, the exhausted imperial army may not even have time to breathe, and will be overwhelmed by a large-scale counterattack from the East Court. It would be good if half of them can come back alive, and that The Yue Valley at that time was maintained throughout the winter, and was regarded by the empire as the most important logistics base for the eastward march. Naturally, Yue Shan, as the person in charge of the Yue Valley, would also become the most important minister that the empire relied on at this time!

"Using the blood of hundreds of thousands of people to make Yueshan a man! What on earth do you want to do!" The fat man's eyes flashed with sharp luster as he shot toward the distant valley. "You dug such a big hole, just waiting for everyone to jump down, and then You can justifiably go to the top of Baoyue Mountain "" But have you ever thought about it, when the army withdraws without success, it will be when you are beheaded, and one hundred thousand imperial soldiers The blood of the emperor cannot be shed in vain. The responsibility for the failure of the empire's eastward march must always be answered by someone! You sacrificed yourself to save Yue Shan, and deliberately placed yourself in such a hateful position, and finally chose to bear the burden of betrayal! Yue Shan’s reputation is dead! I won’t even look at you with pity. Is it worth all your efforts?” “It turns out that your Majesty has seen it!”

The corners of Song Hua's mouth twitched, as if he had let go of everything, his face returned to its natural state, and he let out a hearty laugh. "Your Majesty may not believe it. Song Hua has always thought that since he was a child, he would always sit in the mountains in the south and watch his years grow old and his ambitions dissipate. , it’s better to do it vigorously and end up committing a major crime. He was regarded as an abandoned son of the family and was driven to the northern border wall to die. However, when Song Hua fought with the Dongting people on the northern border for three days and three nights, he lay in the muddy pond with dozens of stab wounds and watched helplessly as his flesh and blood body was about to be destroyed in the east. When Ting Tieqi turned into mince, it was the stupid Yue Shan who saved me with all his life, "

"Yue Shan has no ability, but he still acts on emotion. It's really funny to say that even a miserable life is more valuable than a vigorous death. With hundreds of subordinates in mind, he wants to be thousands of miles away. The guy who dreams of building a paradise in the wilderness to escape the war! What else can he be but a fool! "Song Hua shook his head and said to himself with a wry smile on his face. Only he knew it in his heart. Yue Shan is very much like an elder in the clan, a person who he admires and hates at the same time!

"Your Majesty, I have said that this Song Hua cannot be trusted. He is indeed a duplicitous person just like the rumors!" Murphy O'Brien's eyes were bloodshot when he heard this, and his face turned dark in a rare sight. The man in front of him made him shudder. , too scheming, luckily it is the Vekia Falcon. If he didn't know that he was definitely being played to death, this reminded him of a woman he hated to the core, and of the tragic Southwest War, and the scenes of dead bodies lingered in his mind. Shocking his sanity,

He gritted his teeth and said, "This kind of person is not worthy of trust. Who knows which of his words are the truth and which of them are lies? It's hard to say whether it was a hidden line arranged by the Dongting people. Fortunately, His Majesty saw through his vicious trap, otherwise the imperial army would After a bloody winter, there was no progress. My subordinate requested that this kind of person should do it. Kill him immediately!" "Murphy O'Brien, hatred will blind you to what you should see! Go down and take a rest, you have been really tired these past few days!" Fatty knows that Murphy O'Brien was bitten by a snake once. Having been afraid of well ropes for ten years, the most painful part of my heart was touched, so I waved my hand to him without blaming him.

"I'm sorry, my subordinate lost his temper!"

Murphy O'Brien's body shook slightly, and when he realized what he was doing, his face returned to calm, a trace of shame flashed across his face. After giving a military salute, he turned around and left, "You said your name is Song Hua?" The fat man put his hands behind his back and asked in silence for a while. He said that the Song Hua in front of him was undoubtedly a general who made his heart beat. He was very scheming and had an extraordinary memory. Most people thought that he would march into the wilderness in winter. The wilderness is very difficult, but few people notice that winter will also limit the mobility of the prairie cavalry to the maximum extent, completely overturning the initiative of the entire battle situation. This is why, contrary to everyone's expectations, he strongly advocated that even if the cold wind blows, In August, the main reason for the attack on thousands of miles of wilderness was that there were countless imperial generals, but the one who could see through this was a Central Asian!

Song Hua, who had let go of everything, looked very calm. He changed his previous servility and raised his head. The wind blew up the Chinese and Bian scales on his chin, and he actually revealed a bit of elegant grace. He felt that this Westerner The emperor was frightening. He just glanced at the edge of the pit and saw through all his thoughts as if he had penetrated his own thoughts! This Western emperor is too terrifying. In fact, the battle plan against the Dongting people is not wrong. Song Hua has been observing this habit of the grassland people for a long time. It is just that he imagined that the army of the Zhongbia Empire would fight with Bi Quan Gong and completely defeat them. Eradicated by the brutal northern tribes,

But he knew that that was no longer possible. The Dongting people's horseshoes had crushed Zhongbia's back! Even though he was thousands of miles away, he heard the tragic news that the Dongting people's cavalry broke into the middle of the empire and marched straight into Baili Changting.

"Since your surname is Song, and you have such knowledge, what is your relationship with the Song family, one of the four major wealthy families in Central Asia?" The fat man looked him up and down and said indifferently.

"Your Majesty knows about the Song people in Central and South Africa!" Song Hua looked stunned and couldn't believe it. "Li, Zhang, Tang, Song! Although the Song people are at the bottom, they are the largest ethnic group in southern China and South Africa! Since they are the four major How come you, a descendant of a wealthy family, have ended up in this place! And it looks like your talents are not bad. What the hell have you done! Thousands of miles between the south and the north!

The fat man turned around and looked at him meaningfully. His eyes were like lightning, which made Song Hua's hard psychological defense completely collapse. "The villain made a major mistake, which caused his family to abandon him! Later, he was rescued by Yue Shan, and Xi came with him. "A trace of painful memory flashed through Song Hua's eyes, obviously trying to avoid him. "You said you owe Yue Shan his life?

"Yes!" Song Hua hesitated for a moment, then nodded firmly, "If His Majesty can give Yue Shan a way to survive, Song Hua is willing to trade his life for it!"

"Exchanging lives? This is what you said!"

The fat man waved his hand and said to the guards standing on both sides, "Send orders to Hu Keqili to agree to Yue Xiner's request as a hostage, and select three thousand elites to enter and take over Yue Valley! At the same time, order Yue Valley, the interior of Yue Valley Yue Shan is still responsible for the dispatch!”

"Your Majesty, what are you doing?" Song Hua's body trembled slightly when he heard this, and he looked at the fat man in disbelief,

"It's nothing, your life is worth this price!" The fat man turned to the stunned Song Hua and grinned, "Then you don't owe Yue Shan anything now! Your life now belongs to the empire. Since it was you who proposed the battle plan, Then it’s up to you to complete it. In fact, you are right. At least the winter in the wilderness will Limit the mobility of the prairie cavalry to the greatest extent and turn the entire battle situation in a direction favorable to our army. Before that, our army needs to prepare for winter operations. During this period, I need someone who is familiar with the terrain to lead the front army! Scout to find out where the Dongting people are gathering! I don’t know what your hope is! Has his ambition to achieve great results been completely wiped out? "Your Majesty still wants to implement that plan? Aren't you afraid that the people of Dongting will fight to the death?" Song Hua suddenly raised his head and said in a serious voice, "And according to the information I have received, because In winter, the grassland people migrated to the area three hundred miles east of Tianlang Mansion. Not 200,000, but 400,000! ""Haha, it doesn't matter whether it's 200,000 or 400,000, it doesn't make any difference to me!" The fat man chuckled and looked deeply into the sky. "I am also the Khan King of the prairie people. One of the four golden tribes! I am also a grassland man! Why fight to the death since I am a king!

He had already made plans to raise the flag of the Golden Clan. The Golden Clan has a sun-like sacred cohesion towards the grassland people. If the King of Dongting Grassland is still there, raising the golden flag means going to war against the King of Dongting Grassland. But now there is no king in the Dongting Grassland. The three Dongting princes are still fighting for life and death over who is the orthodox. Among the four golden clan branches, the only one who is unified is their own! If you want to talk about orthodoxy, then you are orthodox! At this point, the divided Dongting Grassland Empire is also slightly inferior to itself! (To be continued...)
