Realm of Power

The Falcon Empire army outside the valley agreed to the hostage guarantee and no longer forced all the tens of thousands of people in the valley to move out of the valley immediately. Instead, they gave a ten-day deadline and sent three thousand elites into the city to control important areas in the valley. At the same time, they allowed the people in Yue Valley to move out of the valley. People move to the Murphy City area and can even settle within a hundred miles of the long wall. "We surrender, we don't have to die!"

When the news came, the tens of thousands of people in the valley who were in panic all day burst into cheers, and rumbles echoed in the valley. No one in the entire valley expected that the result of surrendering to the empire would be that the long wall would no longer be a hindrance to them. You are now qualified to enter that long wall! "The empire within the long wall is said to be the richest in the world, with gold all over the land. Its geography is as vast as that of the Central Asian Empire. It is a much better fertile land than this bitter and cold land..." Someone soon started talking about it vividly. Some news I heard from the wilderness caravan,

Everyone's eyes are shining. In the past, there was a long wall blocking the way. Everyone could only endure the wind and frost here. The cold winter is coming, and I don't know how many frail women and children will not survive this winter. Although in the Yue Valley, The temperature is higher than outside, but the food shortage is always the biggest Many people have predicted that one-fifth of the people in the valley will starve to death this year. Now that the Great Wall has taken the initiative to relax restrictions, it has saved many lives. As for the Yue Valley, it is connected to the empire. It doesn’t matter if the military flag is someone else’s flag! "It's really that good, why are they coming to beat us?" "Some people don't believe it." Can't you see that the other party is beating people from Dongting and has nothing to do with us! And it is said that even the Slavs, the original owners of this land, came to It’s within the long wall! This is someone’s territory! You’ve seen someone enter someone’s house and refuse to leave, and then blame them for coming to chase them away with a knife!” I said, why are the Slavs missing? They all ran inside the long wall! "

Compared with what most civilians are concerned about, what worries the leaders of the forces in the valley is the last one. The latest person in charge of the Yue Valley is Yue Shan! Hearing various cheers coming from outside the hall, the atmosphere in the hall seemed extremely strange. Most people's faces looked a little blue;

Some people in the hall exclaimed in low voices, while others whispered, "Why, why did the empire choose Yue Shan! Why did that guy with no talent at all become the person in charge of Yue Shan Valley!"

"It's not surprising. I have a beautiful daughter. That's all the Western emperor wants! He's just a common man who sells his daughter!"

"Maybe all of us have been sold by Yue Shan! I saw him singing with that Song Hua earlier, it must have been planned long ago!" Some people had a shameless look on their faces, but in fact they were filled with envy and jealousy, gnashing their teeth secretly I regretted why I didn't send the hostage there immediately. If you don’t have a woman, you can give him a son, a wife, whatever you want. Such a good thing is lost right before your eyes.

This kind of opportunity for the leader of a small force in the wilderness to suddenly leap to the foreign town of a powerful empire is simply a rare one in a thousand years. The so-called carp leaping over the Dragon Gate is just like that." No way. Isn't he just the person in charge of Yue Valley? "As for that?" A young man among the leaders said, "Idiot, what do you know?" It is no longer the past. When Yue Valley is merged into the Falcon Empire, it is a province with roots. If Yue Valley was a rootless duckweed before, it is now backed by a big tree in the sky, with the full strength of the empire. With the support and the continuous resources within the long wall, it is only a matter of time before Yue Valley rises rapidly and becomes the center of the entire region."

A gray-haired old man rolled his eyes at the young man and cursed in a low voice, "With the support of the imperial army and the convenience of completely letting go of the long wall, a large number of people will soon flood into the wilderness, and the entire area will appear." Huge changes. As the person in charge of the nearest regional center outside the long wall, what is the difference between Lord Yueshan and the powerful Imperial Guardian! "

The young man blinked his tongue, and a hint of shock flashed across his face. The Imperial Guard was the highest official of the Central Asian Empire's overseas vassal towns. He controlled the military and political affairs of a country, even if it was only the smallest piece of territory. That was the existence of a local emperor, and a powerful empire. The status of the guardian envoy is not inferior to that of the four major wealthy families.

"Master Yueshan, we will all rely on you from now on! They are all from China, so you should take care of them." The old man bowed his hands to Yueshan to express his friendship. The others' faces looked ugly. "Your Excellency Waula, why are you even here?" Come make fun of me too!"

Yue Shan looked at this old man who had a higher reputation than himself in the wilderness. He didn't know how to answer. He looked at the people trying to please him, and looked at the faces that were facing him angrily just now and suddenly filled with unreal flattery. Yue Shan Now I don't know whether I should be happy or sad.

He never expected to be appointed as the person in charge of Yue Valley. None of this was what he wanted. He just wanted everyone to live and the safety of his daughter Yue Xiner. It was his daughter's sacrifice that saved the entire Yue Valley. He I wish I could slap myself in the face and sell my daughter for glory! His Yue Shan was completely nailed to the rack of shame.

The wind blew up the skirt of the girl from Zhongbia. At the mouth of the valley, Yue Xiner was dumbfounded. The empire accepted the request of the valley and actually left her as a hostage here. Inexplicably, I watched the army as black as the tide, with spears like forests and mountains of battle armor. They began to retreat amidst the whining of bugles. Like a huge fan, they slowly closed in. They watched three thousand imperial black armored cavalry appear. A straight line slowly enters the gate of Yue Valley from the only stone bridge.

Only I didn't have anyone to talk to me from the beginning to the end. Song Hua disappeared. As a hostage, I was ignored by the other party. A fast horse came galloping with a familiar figure on his back. It was the person who suddenly became so popular. Yueshan saw that his daughter was still there At the mouth of the valley, Yueshan was surprised and jumped off his horse and rushed over, only to see his daughter standing frozen in the wind. There was no injury, not even a piece of her clothes and armor fell off, but her former pride was shattered. Every bit of embarrassment is left,

"It's Song Hua's plan, right? Father, you know that, right? You know that guy will take my place as a hostage...!" Yue Xiner raised her head with an inexplicable expression on her face, with a hint of red and white shells in her beautiful eyes. The same teeth left a light red blood stain on the red lips, two crystal clear teeth The tears fell like broken threads, and were immediately blown away by the mountain wind at the mouth of the valley. "The eagle is the spirit of heaven and earth. It is impossible to stay on the ground willingly forever. Song Hua's path is different from you and me! Give up!" Yue Shan cherished He put his arms around his daughter's slightly trembling shoulders and looked at the retreating black army in the distance.

Yue Valley surrendered, and the empire completely pacified the 200-mile area between the Long Wall and Tianlang Mansion. The imperial forces arrived in Tianlang Valley, and Fatty's next plan began to be implemented. The newly occupied area was divided into Murphy Province and Yueshan Province. , the combined population between the two places is about 200,000, plus the empire's eastward marching army is nearly 400,000. With the arrival of land reclamation teams and reinforcements from various domestic forces in September, the Empire officially reclaimed this wilderness on a large scale. The cold land was so cold that it was difficult to grow ordinary crops. This time, the Empire brought potatoes that had been prepared for a long time. With seeds, large potato fields were cultivated,

At the same time, the Imperial Wall defense line was completely opened, and various propaganda was launched in the northwest district. The area outside the Long Wall was described as a paradise, and the empire issued a westward reclamation order. All those who cultivated outside the Long Wall could get one hundred acres of self-cultivated land. For a hundred years, the empire did not levy any taxes on these lands. Once the reclamation order was issued, the entire northwest was shaken.

The current population of the Northwest District has exceeded 30 million people. The population is saturated and the land is basically full for development. Later settlers had no land to divide. The empire developed hundreds of acres of tax-free land outside the Great Wall, which immediately attracted a large number of people from the northwest region to the outside of the Great Wall. The gate of the Great Wall remained open for a month. , a long convoy, a team of horses, loaded with farm equipment, heading outside the long wall

Under the joint promotion of all forces, the new empire province built with Murphy City and Yue Valley as the center has gathered a large amount of materials. All forces in the empire have built their own reclamation lands in the new empire province. The time has entered October. , the cold sky begins to drift white In the snowflakes, Song Hua, who was in charge of the forward scouts, wandered in the east area of ​​Tianlang Valley for more than a month, and finally returned to the army front camp set up by the empire in Tianlang River in a miserable state. The fat man summoned Song Hua that night. A detailed migration map was placed in front of Fatty.

"The migration point of the Dongting people this year should be Mo'ang Beach, and the main force of the Dongting Cang Army is also there. We have figured out the migration line of most of the grassland people..." Song Hua pointed to the map and explained, more than a month ago Sleeping in the wilderness made him look much darker and thinner.

The empire's eastward marching army received orders the next day and began to assemble from various regions.

One morning, a prairie camp east of the Tianlang Valley suddenly encountered a group of about a hundred prairie rangers. The prairie people panicked and fought. Who knew that the other party just shot a few arrows at the camp and then withdrew, inexplicably. The leader of the prairie people pulled out the arrow cluster fixed on the wooden pole and saw that the front metal head of the arrow cluster was hollowed out by craftsmanship. Forming a circle, a golden wolf head mark is embedded in the circle. The wind blows through the circle, and the wolf head inside rotates and makes a whining sound. The golden light is like a living creature. There is a letter tied below the arrow cluster." This is... "The leader's face changed, and the hand holding the arrow cluster was trembling slightly." It's from the Golden Clan. "Golden Lie Wolf Order!" An old man behind the leader said with trembling eyes, "It's impossible, except for the King of Dongting, there is no Golden Clan now! This must be the fault of those Westerners on the other side!" He said sternly, exerting force with both hands, and the arrow cluster was snapped. He threw the broken arrow heavily on the ground, and used his feet to break it. The letter stepped deeply into the ground, but turned around as if his butt was burned by fire, and shouted an order to the people behind him, "Okay, don't read it, everyone immediately counts the supplies, let's go to Mo'ang Beach." Under the leader's severe scolding , everyone hurriedly ran to their tents, and soon the camp was disassembled and loaded onto carriages, disappearing in the southeast.

Moang Beach,

Inside the Dongting military tent, the face of Dongting Cang Army Commander Zhamu Hebi was ashen, and he was holding a golden wolf order tightly in his hand. With the cold winter coming, even the cold-resistant prairie people need to take shelter in specific areas. Jamu Hebi, who initially did not take this small trick seriously, had to face the problem. Our scouts cut off the other party's detection. By what means did the other party obtain the migration routes of various ethnic groups?

You must know that every tribe attaches great importance to their own migration. The leakage of migration money routes will lead to ambushes from enemies at any time. This year, there are as many as 34 grassland tribes gathering in the beach, and 27 of them are in During the migration, we all received such things, which proves that our side has Every move is under the eyes of the opponent. Thinking of this, the heart of the team is at the bottom. It will become difficult for the prairie cavalry to move in winter. The mobility that our side relies on most is losing, and the frontal battle that the opponent is good at is Advantages, becoming more advantageous as the weather gets colder

Outside the military tent, the Cang Army cavalry wearing thick cotton and heavy armor lined up in a formation, with sharp scimitars forming a huge circle. Many people could be vaguely seen surrounding the middle, most of them were old, weak, women and children. The huddled bodies were shivering. As long as there was an order from the military tent, , these people will turn into corpses, and their blood will wet the ground under their feet and become natural fertilizer for the grassland in the coming year. This Golden Wolf Order was secretly brought by this tribe, and it will be accepted by another Golden Tribe in front of a Golden Tribe royal court. The golden wolf order is a sign of betrayal

The leader of the tribe had his hands tied and was covered in blood. He was kneeling in front of the tent. The leader of the tribe hid the Golden Wolf Token.

"Do you know the sin of the Hawu tribe's Wuli?"

Jamu stood up, walked to the military tent, stepped on the leader's head, crushed it hard, and chewed half of the leader's face with the teeth on his horse shoes, then showed a cruel smile and said, " Dongting provides the safety of your tribe and gives you a pasture to raise horses and educate people. If you betray Dongting just for such a fake Golden Wolf Order, even the Changsheng Heaven will punish you."

"I'm not betraying, I just want everyone to live! Mo'ang Beach can't accommodate so many people. One-third of the people will die by then, and the other side promised that they can get there as long as they hold the Golden Wolf Token Take shelter in the Tianlang Valley for the winter!" The leader was lying almost half dead in the mud, covered in blood, struggling hard. "Sirius Valley is the enemy's territory. Wherever you want to spend the winter, it's not betrayal!" Zhamu Hebi sneered and passed on the order, "Any tribe that secretly hides the Golden Wolf Order will end up like this! Everyone will end up like this!" Kill them all. Since you think winter will kill you, then just kill them all!"

"Do it!"

The Dongting cavalry outside the tent waved their swords at the surrounding crowd, (To be continued...)
