Realm of Power

There are black clouds rolling in the sky, and it started to rain last night.

The raindrops hit the roof of the tent, like large white flowers blooming, and a trickle of water flowed along the soil ravines on the grass, above the earth. ⊥There was almost no dry place. Standing at the door of the camp, Fatty watched helplessly as the 500-yuan grassland he had just acquired turned into a large black swamp overnight, and the rippling grass mats were lifted up by the hoofs of horses. , the horse hooves of the patrol cavalry on the periphery were stepped on, and there was a white line of water splashing everywhere. The rain was so heavy that even the elite scouts returned from ten miles away. The grassland people did not have the habit of arching the city, except for this reason. The habit of chasing grass away from home is because the prairie turns into a muddy swamp in the rainy season. The city made of rammed earth arches cannot withstand the heavy rains, and often there will be foundation problems in two or three years. Shen, the city wall collapsed, and the more than 100,000 imperial troops, although under the actual control of Onnatso, were actually stationed in this open space without any cover, half of their feet were soaked in muddy water, how could this continue? OK

On the eleventh day after the Battle of Onnacuo, Fatty had to order the troops to return to Tianlang Mansion. Fatty knew that in this case, it was impossible for the prairie people to launch a counterattack, and the news from the Prairie Royal Court confirmed that , the main forces of the grassland army are now attacking each other, and there are free minds to take care of the fringe areas,

The civil war between the three princes finally broke out the day before the Royal Court Banquet. As if sensing something, the eldest prince laid an ambush at the Royal Court Banquet in an attempt to cleanly get rid of the two younger brothers. Although the second prince and the third prince secretly joined forces, but in the On the surface, I don’t think the eldest prince would be so bold and outspoken. If you dare to take action at the Royal Court Banquet, you must know that the Royal Court Banquet is the most important banquet of the year. It is not only the three princes who attend, but also the chiefs of all the 100,000 people in the grassland, and even a few people with twenty or thirty thousand people. A large family of ten thousand people, and this royal banquet involves the choice of the new Khan. Therefore, the number of people arriving is also the most uniform in decades.

The grassland dynasty has always adopted a policy of conquest and alliance, and Dongting is no exception. Even in the heyday of the royal court, the old Khan King also adopted a win-win policy for these powerful families. The eldest prince set up an ambush at the royal court banquet, and the effect was really good. Surprisingly, although they each went to the royal banquet with certain guards, one of the other two princes was seriously injured and captured, while the other escaped with injuries. You can know that the great prince is just a hair away from success.

But in the eyes of a fat man, this line may be as far away as heaven and earth.

"I don't know who came up with the bad idea. I just want all three princes on the grassland to die!" After getting this secret report that had been blocked for nearly half a month, the fat man said They couldn't help but tremble, and they felt a little admiration for the planning of this ambush. It was so awesome. I don’t know who it is, but the decisive and ruthless attack is secondary. The problem is that it actually persuaded this idiot, the eldest prince, to take action. This is the timing. This location is simply amazing, a banquet in the royal court, in full view of everyone. In the brightly lit place, the entire grassland was watching, and the heads of the various tribes in the grassland gathered together. Then there was the flash of swords and blood, the tumbling of horse hooves, and countless cavalry riding horses rushed into the tent and slashed at them. The roof of the tent flew away. The secret report said that all the people who died at the royal banquet in this turmoil were There were more than twenty clan leaders, and they killed almost half of the leaders of the major clans on the grassland.

This is the most vicious thing. In this case, no matter who wins in the end, it will be impossible to ascend to the throne of Khan.

The tragedy of the Royal Court banquet has shocked the entire grassland. More than two dozen big clans whose leader died have vowed to raise their troops and declare to break away from the Royal Court. The Dongting Grassland Dynasty, which had just won the victory over Dijing in Central Asia, was not satisfied with what they had gained. It became stronger with a large amount of treasures, but it completely collapsed overnight. I heard that the current royal court is almost in ruins.

The eldest prince has achieved an apparent victory, but the second prince who escaped is gathering troops to win the support of the big families in various places who have announced their separation from the royal court. The war clouds on the grassland have reached the point where you can smell the smell of blood.

In Yanzhou, the offensive of the Right Prime Minister's Army has reached the most important city of Shangjing. Reports sent from the south said that the Zhongbia court had indeed made the most expected choice. A group of courtiers with their own agendas ignored the reality of the war and actually ordered The main force of the Luzhou Army, which had just established a defensive line in Yanzhou Shangjing, retreated. This result seemed very reasonable, but in fact it was just commanding based on the map, completely ignoring the reality of the battlefield, and became the biggest failure of the entire Yanzhou war situation.

Yanzhou Shangjing is the core of Yanzhou's barrier. The barriers have been built on top of each other for hundreds of years. The defense line is more than 30 miles thick. Although it has been destroyed in many places, it cannot be broken by the semi-motivated forces of the Right Prime Minister. The Luzhou Army only needs to stick to Shangjing. , Yelu Hongtai could only stare. Even if he rushed out of Yanzhou in one breath, he would still be in an embarrassing situation of being attacked from both sides.

But now, the Zhongbia court has strictly ordered the Luzhou army to withdraw from the Yanzhou barrier, and their naked bodies are exposed on the ground. Yelu Hongtai is about to laugh.

The Luzhou Army is a typical heavy infantry group. It is most advantageous to stand on a dangerous point. It is not an exaggeration to call it a strong wall. But running in the mud during the rainy season, I wonder if it can run fifty miles a day? No soldier with strong armor can resist the physical limitations. The rainy season retreat completely gave up the terrain that could block it. Under the torrent of horses and horses of Yelu Hongtai's 100,000 grassland people, the 60,000 Luzhou Army was finally able to return to Luzhou alive. I'm afraid it's less than one out of ten,

Old foxes like Yelu Hongtai, from the time they decided to force the Luzhou Army into Yanzhou and go to Beijing, they have probably set a path of no return for the Luzhou Army from Yanzhou to Beijing. Fatty doesn’t believe that there are not many experienced people in the Central and Asian courts. The general couldn't see this, but obviously, no one said anything, why? To put it bluntly, it’s nothing more than the human heart.

Zhongbia Dijing suffered a disastrous defeat. Several of Feng Zhangwu's main armies were crippled and their strength was greatly reduced. They followed the court southward in despair, and all of them converged to the south of Zhongbia. In comparison, Luzhou, which had been in the south, The army's unparalleled combat power, and the emperor's favor for the Luzhou army, seemed a bit dazzling.

Why? In the bloody battle in the Imperial Capital, we faced a sea of ​​cavalry. The piles of corpses of the soldiers were enough to fill the entire Imperial Capital River. What we received was a sound of curses for losing the city and losing the land. However, a second-rate army like the Luzhou Army , it’s just a so-called record against a few mountain barbarians in the south. One hundred and fifty armors are enough to kill three thousand people, but now they have the right to be on an equal footing with us?

There is more news. The disastrous defeat in the imperial capital greatly touched the emperor of Zhongbia. The emperor, who had just turned thirty, had already begun to prepare to reorganize the remaining armies of various ministries with the Luzhou Army as the backbone. However, he encountered strong resistance from the flattering Zhangwu Army. , it is said that the Luzhou army's battle with the mountain barbarians is completely incomparable with the grassland people. One hundred and fifty armor can defeat three thousand mountain barbarians. If you put it in front of the grassland people, even fifty riders might not be able to stop it.

Forced by helplessness and eager to prove the combat effectiveness of the Luzhou Army, the Emperor of Zhongbia sent 60,000 Luzhou troops north to Yanzhou. He thought that taking advantage of the civil strife in the grassland, he could only restore part of this barrier and fight a few more beautiful battles. With the blocking battle, the armies naturally lost the reason to resist. Unexpectedly, he encountered Yelu Hongtai's 300,000 grassland people heading south. Before they could fight, the emperor lost his courage. They also lost the courage to fight in the Imperial Capital. Otherwise, they would force all the armies to march north to attack Yelu Hongtai. Yelu Hongtai would definitely run faster than a rabbit! Yanzhou may really become an unbreakable barrier again.

"Your Majesty. With such a heavy rain, I'm afraid the Tianlang Mansion won't be destroyed within five days." Murphy O'Brien walked up on the dirt leading to the tent and took off the waterproof cloak from his head to his feet.

"Have you chosen a location to build the Onnatso Governor's Palace?"

The fat man turned around, patted the rainwater on his body, and said in a deep voice, "Do you know why Yelu Hongtai immediately led the tribe southward as soon as the Lang Rui army collapsed? There was no need to mention even a few conditions. Hundreds of thousands of people were there." The majestic southward migration only took five days. It was so fast that I can’t help but admire it!”

"Isn't it the five-day period given by His Majesty?"

Murphy O'Brien wiped the rain off his face and squatted next to the fire pit in the middle of the tent without moving. A cloud of white steam steamed above his head. When the rainy season came, the temperature of the grassland dropped suddenly, and it actually became a little warmer. It means cold spring. Wearing icy armor and being soaked in the rain, it feels extremely cold. Fortunately, there is no shortage of large woods on the grassland.

It's just that the wet wood burned very smokey, so the fat man ran outside the tent. Murphy O'Brien seemed to be fine. In the past two years outside the long wall, he had long been accustomed to this kind of environment. According to Murphy According to O'Brien, burning horse manure is actually very good. It doesn't produce so much smoke, but the weather is too humid and the horse manure must be dried before it can be burned.

"Who is Yelu Hongtai, who is really so obedient? Don't be kidding me. This old man who has lived on the grassland all his life has already become sensitive to the arrival of the rainy season. When the rainy season pours down, the earth is muddy, not to mention coerced. Hundreds of thousands of grassland people are marching southward, and even the regular cavalry will be slowed down a lot. If he doesn't leave, he will never have a chance to leave."

"It's just that the old fox wants to break into Zhongbia from Yanzhou without any obstacles. How can it be so easy? There is the Luzhou Army first. When he breaks through Yanzhou, he should face a real opponent!" The fat man sneered. With a sound, he looked at the heavy rain in the distance, and there was a hint of coldness in the corner of his mouth,

Yelu Qiyeguang was indeed ruthless enough. He gave him a big trouble before leaving. The moment the woman broke into his tent like crazy and shouted that she wanted to marry him, the fat man understood everything at once.

Yelu Qiyeguang dug a big hole for himself. Yelu Qiyeguang believed that his identity was an important minister trusted by the emperor among the top officials of the Falcon Empire, so he forced this woman into his hands. The identity of this woman was indeed Being sensitive, whether you accept or reject it, will make you miserable, make you jealous of the emperor, and hostile to the grassland royal court. In this way, at least in a short period of time, you will not have the opportunity to take action against the Yelu family's retreat.

Unfortunately, Yelu Qiyeguang miscalculated the entire game, so he also made the wrong move.

I am not a minister, but an emperor. If that woman knew about it, I wonder if she would vomit blood. What effect would such a well-thought-out frame-up in the Central Asian style have on me? It's just a joke. Don't just accept this woman, but kill her, what will happen?

Who will doubt yourself? Who dares to doubt the emperor!

The fourth heir to the royal court, the biological sister of the emperor of Central Asia, what a big title? There are two or three women in my family who have the title of queen, and the number of women who have the title of princess can almost be counted on both hands. I am the emperor, the king of the two courts, and the authentic crown of the golden family. Such women are stuffed into my mouth. Not even qualified to serve as side dishes,

Yelu Qiyeguang, I hope you won’t regret today’s decision after you break through Yanzhou!

The fat man couldn't help grinning, and his shoulders trembled with laughter. Murphy O'Brien felt a chill, his eyes swept across the back of His Majesty Falcon in a strange way, and he secretly murmured in his heart, "Yelu Hongtai is an old fox, then What is your Majesty... Your Majesty has been planning this situation for a long time. After releasing the fish, the target will naturally not be just to catch a small fish named Luzhou Army. Yelu Hongtai himself may not know that the three hundred thousand prairie people rolling south are just the bait struggling on His Majesty's hook. In this situation where the earth is a pond, His Majesty Falcon’s true goal may only be known to Himself!

Guangling, the headquarters of the Southwest Long family in southwest China, is a city with a winding river and a city known as a tiger crouching in the shape of a tiger. Rain pours down between the rows of streets, forming patches of raindrops along the eaves of the streets. Curtain, the rainy season in the Southwest Basin has arrived earlier, looking back from the rolling Linjiang outside the exquisite and elegant green bamboo window frame, Long Yang, the member of the Southwest Long Family, is holding the secret report he just got, his face is livid and scary,

Naturally, he knew that the armies were overtly and covertly squeezing the Luzhou Army in the south.

The emperor wanted to use the Luzhou Army as the backbone to replenish his combat power, but for the generals of each army, this undoubtedly touched their interests. In order to show his correctness, when the emperor moved the Luzhou Army halfway northward, he also I once expressed my fierce opposition to the transfer of the Southern Army to fight in the North. No matter the environment and customs, it is completely inappropriate. It is very good to be able to exert 100% of the combat strength to achieve 50% or 60%.

What's more, the Luzhou Army is a mountain army, with round shields and heavy swords, and its tactics are mostly close combat and slashing, which is suitable for the steep and narrow terrain of the southern mountains. The Northern Army is mostly equipped with long-range archers, heavy armor and heavy guns, and cavalry to protect the flanks. It is the equipment for field battles on the northern plains. It is already wrong for the Luzhou Army to advance northward. Now it is required to abandon the Yanzhou Barrier. Once it reaches the plains, what is the difference between it and surrendering to death!

"These bastards, for their own selfish desires, just sit back and watch the Luzhou Army's tens of thousands of people defeated!" Long Yang glanced at the report in his hand again, and sighed gloomily. The Luzhou Army guarded the south, and the Long Family Army stayed in the southwest, forming a The two major supporting points of the southern defense line in China and Libya,

The relationship between the two armies is already good, not to mention that Long Yang's third concubine is the daughter of General Luzhou Fengwu Army.

As the southern side has an independent military and political power, it is inevitable to feel sad at this time. Long Yang knew very well that if he had not returned in time, and if the Longjiaxi Army had not been an independent system, it would have been his Longjiaxi Army who marched north this time. military,

The Luzhou Army has taken a big blame for himself, not to mention the Fengwu Army led by his old father-in-law. Is the Long Family's Western Army really going to break the oath they made back then? Long Yang had hesitation on his face. No matter how you look at it, he is the only one who has the ability to save the Luzhou Army now! If this is the true intention of the Zhongbia court, it would be terrible!

"My lord, Miss Li Yuehua wants to see you!" The deputy general's voice came from the door (to be continued, please search Piao Tian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster!
