Realm of Power

People under the eaves had to lower their heads. Even so, Song Que was still a little unwilling after all. Why, you, Long Yang, killed people, but I, Song Que, took the blame! With this resentment, Song Que glanced at the list, and his pupils couldn't help but tremble heavily. What is Long Yang doing?

"General, are you sure there are no mistakes in this list?" Song Que glanced at Long Yang with a twinkling look. No wonder Long Yang wanted to come in person. Most of the top half of the list are officials from the southwestern region appointed by the Central and Asian courts. This is It is also understandable that the Long family of the Western Army has a bad reputation for expelling and killing officials appointed by the court. Even the Song people have done this kind of thing, but the scale has never been so large, but the governor of the six provinces in the southwest Manager Cha is also on the list, Long Yang is really going to bully the world!

"The list I reviewed personally will not be wrong. These people are mainly targeting me, so I can only watch." Long Yang grinned, as if he knew Song Que would ask this question. The smile on the corner of his mouth, despite the weather The sun is shining brightly, but it gives people a cold chill. "But the Valve Master is different. You killing them and me killing them are completely different things!"

"That's it, I understand!"

Song Que's expression changed, and he had to admit that he still underestimated Long Yang. How could the Long family, the number one general in the Central Asian Empire and the one who had independently resisted the Western Kingdom for decades, not know how to kill with a sword? The identities of these people are sensitive, and they are the emperor's confidants and spies used to monitor Long Yang.

If Long Yang killed him, it would be treason, but if he killed himself, it would be considered a manslaughter at best, and there would be a big hat on his head for not complying with the emperor's pardon. No matter how extraordinary your status is, there is no place to cry. Besides, dead people don’t cry!

The Inspector General is not an official, but his real status is still higher than that of regional officials, even if Long Yang meets him. ○Also treat them with respect,

Because they are not ordinary people. They are eunuchs sent from the palace. They are the most trusted people around the emperor. They are the eyes used by the emperor to monitor local families. They have the power to report secretly to the emperor at any time. The secret letters they submit will not be passed through. The six parts of the imperial court were placed directly on the emperor's desk.

This power. It's enough to make even the largest family feel a stab of fear in their backs.

The Long family has always been the most feared object of the emperor. Each of the six provinces in the southwest has a supervisor. There are more than a hundred people under the general manager. It is like a huge dense network, covering the Long family in the southwest blatantly. On top of my head, the Long family has been living like this for decades,

Trends in the Southwest. They were sent out along a fixed route every day. Maybe Long Yang squatted in that direction every day when he went to the toilet, pressing on the emperor's desk. No wonder Long Yang was still in the southwest. The Zhongbia court mistakenly believed that the reason why it was in Yanzhou in the north was that

Similarly, after decades, everyone is really familiar with it. These spies had lost even the most basic vigilance. When Long Yang took action, he was naturally able to capture them. The chief inspectors of six provinces were arrested in one fell swoop, and the intelligence network of the chief inspectors was controlled. The daily reports sent from the southwest were still uninterrupted. However, the emperor's eyes were blind and he could only make judgments based on the reports sent from the southwest. The departure of 100,000 Western troops from Guangling attracted so much attention, and the Luzhou army was even more grateful to the Western troops.

Judging from this, Long Yang is not in Yanzhou? Where else could it be! Don't tell me that the emperor and the Central and Asian courts thought this way, why didn't you think so too?

Song Que smiled bitterly. There were some things that he understood very clearly after thinking about it. As the leader of the Song clan in the south and commanding millions of mountain people in the 100,000 mountains, how could he not know that the so-called Song people in the center of the court entered the southwest? I wanted to use the help of the Song clan to completely break up the monolithic Long family's Western Army, but I couldn't resist the temptation, and I thought Long Yang was trapped in Yanzhou, and only then did he want to wade into the troubled waters this time to find a way out for the millions of mountain people in the south. Since he was defeated at the hands of Zhongbia a hundred years ago, he lost the capital to compete for the world. He had no choice but to , the southern forces could only retreat to the Shiwandashan Mountains with all their strength, and nominally belonged to the Zhongbia Empire, but in fact they were just a small independent court.

Shiwandashan is the collective name for the thousands of miles of rainforest mountains in the south of Central and South Africa. The mountains are warm and miasma-filled. This natural barrier blocks the central part of China from seeing the Shiwandashan Mountains. There is no shortage of mountain resources, including iron and copper. However, backward forging technology is simply unable to mass-produce the fine iron needed for forging weapons on a large scale. As for important technologies such as forging fine iron, China and Libya have It has always been stuck. If you want to obtain refined iron in the southern mountains, you have to exchange it for ten times or a hundred times more iron ore. Over the past few decades, the Central Asians who were transferred to the south were transferred to Luzhou. The Xue Army has become the Luzhou Heavy Armor Army, the master of the southern mountains with countless mineral resources, but does not even have 50,000 armor troops. Once Zhongbia really wants to destroy the mountains, what can he do to stop it?

Fortunately, a few months ago, the Song Clan accidentally reached a trade agreement for fine iron with the Falcon Empire in the Western Continent, and the Song Clan was able to rekindle its desire to expand!

The southwest is the base camp of the Long Family's Western Army. The military system has been self-sufficient for forty years. The Long Family guards the southwest and fights against the Western Continent. In terms of equipment, it has absorbed the essence of the forging technology from Central Asia and the Western Continent. The Southwest The soft iron dragon armor made by the Long family is made of 3,769 fine iron leaves from top to bottom. The joints are protected by soft iron. It moves freely, and the rivets guarding the round cake on the chest cannot be penetrated by sharp thorns, let alone slashed by swords. It is already at the top level in Central and South-Bia, not to mention the Long family's technology of forging fine iron. Complete weapon system, infantry armor, cavalry armor, war horse armor, medium shield, diamond spear, wolf tooth arrow, sling, essential equipment for legion training...

With such a complete system, how could Song Que not be tempted? Even if the Song people enter the southwest, even if they don't occupy a city or a place, as long as they can bring half of this fine iron forging system back to the mountains, it will be worth their while to venture into the southwest. , I just didn’t expect that this would be the situation when I first entered the southwest.

Seeing Song Que signing his name on the document, Long Yang's eyes flashed with an inexplicable look, and he finally felt a big stone in his heart fell to the ground. He used the illusion of leaving Guangling to deceive the Central Committee of China and Bibia. a huge Taking risks, it was not difficult to extract the supervisors of the six provinces. With the help of Li Yuehua, who was from the Intelligence Department of Central Asia, and the banquet he held as usual before departure, none of the six supervisors suspected it. The Long family hosted a banquet for the supervisors of the six provinces. Checking the manager, it has been a tradition for many years

The Long family's Western Army has its own system. But it is still Zhongbia after all. As long as the emperor does not say anything, the supervisors and supervisors of the six provinces are not willing to make the relationship with the Long family too tense. Isn't it good to be amicable and have to fight with each other? It’s been decades, it’s not necessary!

Therefore, the supervisors of the six provinces did not suspect him, but they were all captured at the banquet.

The first step is easy, but the question is how to take the second step, how to solve this situation! Secretly arresting the supervisors of six provinces is no small matter. It may be concealed in a short period of time, but it will inevitably be exposed as time goes by. Thinking of Li Yuehua's words that day, Long Yang's back is still a little cold.

"Let the Song people enter the southwest, seize the opportunity, and put all this on the Song people."

"Song Clan?" Long Yang's face looked like he had swallowed a fly alive. If the center of the court was still a little afraid of him, then he looked down upon the Song Clan completely, and he could not bear the consequences. Can the Song people carry it? Moreover, the relationship between Song Clan and Southwest China has never been good, how could he swallow his anger and take such a big blame!

"Song Que can kill these people, but the general cannot! Even if the court is angry, what can they do to the Song family, which has always been independent?" Li Yuehua looked calm, and the rain outside pattered on the smooth street. But the words Li Yuehua said made Long Yang feel even more chilling. "The Song tribe's entry into the southwest is a challenge to the entire Western Army system. I don't know how many people craned their necks to wait for the good show. Now it's better. If anyone says that the Song tribe is actually taking the blame for the Western Army this time, why not Don't be drowned in saliva! In fact, you can understand it if you think about it. These people are from the center of the court and the emperor, and they are the eyes that monitor the Long family of the Western Army. , in this southwest house, eating southwest food, but also barking at the owner! Now that the owner has changed, naturally he will not tolerate these dogs continuing to be like this. The mountain people are famous for their irritability and brutality, don't look at Song Que is from a high-ranking family and the head of a generation of family. In fact, he is still a mountain bumpkin at heart. If he doesn't like these dogs, he will naturally kill them with a knife."

"What's the next step for the Valve Master?"

After putting away the execution document signed with Song Que's name, Long Yang relaxed his mind, stretched out his hand to Song Que who looked depressed, and walked into a tea stall on the roadside. The plan proposed by Li Yuehua was really too bold. Although Long Yang was a little worried in his heart, he had to admit that this plan was quite feasible, and he even secretly regretted it. If he had known that he could do this, why would our Long family have to endure decades of humiliation and find someone to take the blame? Didn't expect that!

"What else can I do? As soon as I entered the southwest, I killed the supervisors of six provinces and twenty-seven local officials in one go. They were all from the background of the central court. Even if it was a manslaughter, I'm afraid it would be difficult to escape. Accountability! Naturally, I will immediately return to Shiwandashan and hide." Song Que With a sneer on his lips, he sat down opposite Long Yang and said that, but in fact, he had no intention of leaving at all. This is the worst situation. Didn't the general just say that Longjing Town would be the location of my southwest mansion? I am the master, so why leave? "

"But what will the general do? In the center of the court, the pardoned general will guard Yanzhou. No matter how hard the general tries to avoid it, he cannot avoid it!"

He shrugged his shoulders and picked up a cup of tea poured by an attendant dressed as a town citizen. Song Que took a sip. There was a slight bitterness in his mouth. After the bitterness, there was a hint of sweetness from the base of his tongue. There was also a strong aroma that fell into the stomach. Song Que's eyes were so hot that he narrowed his eyes slightly in comfort. After a few seconds, he uttered two words: "Good tea!" The southern mountainous area is the largest tea-producing area in Central and South Africa, so Song Que believed that he had tasted all the tea in Central and South-Bia, but he was sure that he had never tasted the cup he just drank.

"Of course I'm going to Yanzhou! Otherwise, I wouldn't tell others that I killed these people!" Long Yang chuckled, his eyes flashed, and a general's aura filled the air from him, and he looked into the distance On the top of the dark green mountaintop, he said in a concentrated voice

"While the Luzhou Army was evacuating from Shangjing, Yanzhou's 300,000 grassland troops shrank to the southeast of Yanzhou. It seemed that they were trying to avoid the sharp edge of our Western Army, but in fact they had already crossed the barrier and were preparing for a larger-scale southward advance. Prepare, from the moment the Luzhou Army gave up going to Beijing, the Yanzhou barrier had been broken, but the central court could not see it. They always thought that with the 100,000-strong Western Army, the grassland people would not dare to move. In fact, that is not the case at all. thing" "General, what you mean is that the next step for the grassland army is to attack the Imperial Capital Plain?"

Song Que's hand holding the tea cup shook slightly and he secretly took a breath of air. He was in the south, but that didn't mean he didn't know the situation in the north. The grassland army took advantage of the Luzhou Army's retreat to Beijing and seemingly evacuated to avoid the Western Army. Bingfeng actually passed through the Yanzhou barrier secretly. If anyone else said it, Song Que might not I care too much, but the person who said this is Long Yang, the core figure of the Yanzhou turmoil. That's another story. Long Yang is the number one general in Central and Bibia and the leader of the 200,000-strong Western Army. This time The rescue of the Luzhou Army was his 100,000 Western Army. Long Yang said that the grassland army had passed the Yanzhou Barrier, which means it had passed the Yanzhou Barrier! After Yanzhou, there is the Dijing Plain. Although it suffered a heavy catastrophe, the Dijing Plain still has a huge population and cities. When the grassland army goes south, it is these areas that it will face.

"I was still hesitating whether to let the troops continue to advance north. After all, our army did not have much advantage in fighting against the Prairie Army. However, the Prairie Army was very cooperative and let go of the Luzhou Army. In fact, we were putting our own real fighting force The troops were all liberated. As for the prairie army continuing south, "Go forward, if the central government orders me to rescue people in the Imperial Capital Plain, why? Just because I go north to rescue people, they turn around and give me Yanzhou to guard?" Long Yang shook his head with emotion. He shook his head, picked up the tea and drank it all in one gulp. It was full of bitterness.

After the rainy season, the temperature begins to rise rapidly, which is a sign before the arrival of summer.

Stretching, he closed the latest report sent by Li Yuehua. The fat man came to the window sill of Tianlang Mansion. Wildflowers were already in full bloom outside Tianlang Mansion. Countless little flowers with no names were scattered across the land, making the whole land look transformed. It became a big flower blanket, looking into the distance At the end of the earth, like a golden line dyed red, Fatty seemed to see a black carriage with a white thorn flower heraldry, escorted by two thousand Imperial Guards cavalry, slowly driving into the distant Xinjing-Hangzhou of the Central Asian Empire. Come, where there is no sound, the coldness of thunder is already flashing

I really want to see the anger of the Zhongbia emperor when he knew that all the informants in the southwest were pulled out. The Song clan, the Long family, and the 300,000 grassland troops were forced to go south by the war. Maybe Zhongbia himself was in court. Unexpectedly, those grassland people came with the intention of death. This time, it was not as simple as being trapped in Beijing! (To be continued...)
