Realm of Power

"I'm telling you, in the next few days, the Long family will definitely take action!" Bonnie Bonnie walked into the fat man's office with an excited expression, and hurriedly pressed a report on the fat man's desk, completely ignoring herself. The teacher's eyes are a little flaming, please, please, even if the information is urgent, you can't just rush in like this.

"It's interesting. I didn't expect Long Yang to have such courage!" The fat man picked up the report and nodded approvingly. "I have long thought that the Long family is a general. Without the murderous intention of a soldier, it is nothing like a general, Long Yang. He is known as the number one general in Central Asia, but he seems to have always been a bit weak in confronting the court. Now he is indeed a sinister faction."

"Didn't Long Po do this? What does it have to do with Long Yang?" Bonnie was confused. Southwest Guangling is nearly a thousand miles away from Yanzhou Shangjing. The mutual news has long been cut off by the Prairie Army. If it is Who believes Long Yang’s order? Even the empire's spy does not know the situation of Yanzhou going to Beijing now, let alone the Long family!

"What do you know! I have been pretending to be tragic before, but secretly I have already prepared the knife." The fat man waved his hand, glanced at the corner of his mouth, and said, "When everyone thinks that the Long family is weak and can be bullied, and is no longer able to control the southwest, A hard slap on the face of the Zhongbia court. The regional warlord is the regional warlord. I was really almost deceived by him! I originally thought that Long Yang wanted to gain a good reputation before clinging to Yanzhou, but that was not the case at all! He had already arranged everything secretly, and took action when it was time to take action, without any scruples, just to stabilize the situation in the southwest. In name, he mobilized 20,000 Guangling troops to enter Kawakou City, and first controlled this southwest central artery. He knew the secret of closing the door and beating the dog. "

"Then on the same day, the Wang family of Kawaguchi, who was canonized by the fifth-grade family, was exterminated on the crime of colluding with the prairie people. Chen Dongyang didn't even want more than a thousand subordinates, and ran away from Kawakou in fear. When Mianbo arrived, he hid and finally returned It was the chasing Long family cavalry who was tied up and returned to Guangling, and was locked up with Lu Kewen, the special envoy of the court who had been blocked outside the Long family's mansion for nearly ten days. No matter that Mr. Lu was already over fifty, Can I stay in a dark, smelly water prison for a few days? It is estimated that in just ten days, the two special envoys from the court will be sent back in the name of sacrificing their lives in the line of duty. Compared with the misery of the other two special envoys, among the three special envoys, Li Long, who has been wandering, has no trace of anything. As a result, the Long family couldn't find anything for a while. As an excuse, they simply sent people to drive Li Long out of the southwest. Then the Long family announced that due to the emergency of the Yanzhou war, the entire southwest was on war readiness. Passes in various places were sealed. Anyone who attempted to enter the southwest would be arrested directly without distinction. Get up and check later."

"This move is enough to make the Zhongbia court, who is waiting happily to collect the fruits of the Southwest, be completely covered up. The Southwest Long family just flips the plate and stops playing! No matter how they are decorated on the outside, they are still barbaric in their bones. Rough general character!”

"Teacher, with such a change, it will be difficult for the Long family to take the initiative to invite the empire to the southwest!" Bonnie Bonnie glared at the teacher with a sly smile in a depressed manner. This Long Po's method , indeed very similar to his teacher. In the face of the sudden deployment of the Long family's absolute force, the intrigues and machinations of the Zhongbia court were completely crushed.

"Send someone to the southwest, we should be able to talk directly!" The fat man tilted his head, put down the report and said, "The Long family is now directly at odds with the Zhongbia court. Although the southwest has been stabilized, it can be regarded as killing the enemy. A thousand losses to oneself and eight hundred losses, and there will be no one to rely on from now on. If the empire shows its heart for alliance, it may not be impossible to talk about "

"The Long family is willing to talk?" Bonnie Berlant didn't seem to have recovered from what the fat man just said.

"It is unrealistic to say that the Long family will fall into the arms of the empire, but the empire has the conditions to tempt the Southwest Long family, so the Long family will definitely talk!" Fatty said noncommittally.

"What are the conditions that can make the Long family interested?" Berlant Bonnie's beautiful eyes blinked. The original plan was for the Long family to proactively request the empire to intervene. Berlant Bonnie's Gangfei Second Army was responsible for the matter. After all, the empire If the person in charge is a woman, it can weaken the Long family's guard against the empire. However, such a sudden change occurred in the southwest. The Long family used thunderous means to stabilize the southwest, so naturally they would not ask the empire to intervene. Berlant Bonnie really couldn't figure out what else the empire could offer that the Long family would have to negotiate.

"If you were the Long family, what would be the next thing after you stabilize the southwest?" The fat man smiled and asked his beautiful female disciple.

"It should be about rescuing Yanzhou," Bonnie Berlant thought for a moment.

"That's right, Yanzhou, everything is for Yanzhou. This Long Po is so eager to use force to stabilize the southwest, not only because the court is pressing him, but also because the situation in Yanzhou has reached a point where he has to make a decision. "The fat man nodded,

"Berrant Bonnie said in disbelief, "Although the Long family has tens of thousands of troops in the southwest, excluding the remaining troops, the number of people that can be dispatched is 20,000, which is the maximum number. If such a force is to be sent to Yanzhou to support, I'm afraid It's still not enough." The Yelu family's military strength in Yanzhou has reached 160,000. A mere 20,000 Long family's Western Army has joined the Yanzhou battlefield. For the entire war, there will not be many changes."

"It's only a mere 20,000 Long family's Western Army. Entering Yanzhou to support the operation will naturally not help the situation." The fat man nodded, looking at the mountains and hills outside, and said slowly, "But have you ever thought about Yelu Hongtai's attack on Yanzhou this time?" , of which there are a hundred thousand in the grassland army, and almost all the 300,000 young men from the grassland tribes have joined the Yanzhou battlefield. In this case, how many grassland armies can there be in the central part of the Yelu family? "

"The 20,000 elites of the Long family will not change much on the battlefield of Yanzhou, but if the 20,000 elites do not enter Yanzhou, but attack directly on the Imperial Capital Plain of the Yelu family, it will be another matter!"

"When Long Yang decided to fight against Yanzhou, I had some guesses. Now I can basically confirm that Long Yang is using Yanzhou as a bait to drain the elite grassland army from the central part. Yelu Hongtai, an old fox, is too eager for quick success and quick gains. , in order to seize Yanzhou as soon as possible and allow the Yelu family to establish a country, they directly drained the central grassland army. The Yelu army who is now staying in the central part Most of the Lu family's troops are Zhongbia, and the number of the grassland army is only about 10,000. The rest are old, weak, women and children, who are unable to fight. Once the Long family invades the central part of Zhongbia, with Longyang in Yan The state has a huge reputation as Zhongbia's sole support for the sky. With the public's support, even just 20,000 people are enough to gather no less than 100,000 troops in a short period of time."

"The teacher is saying that this time it is not the Yelu family that attacks Yanzhou, but the Long family that seizes the imperial capital!" Bonnie Bonnie gasped when she heard this, her red and attractive lips slightly opened. This situation has indeed changed. It was a little too fast. Even if it was a desperate counterattack, the Long family's desperate counterattack was too outrageous. In fact, if you think about it, you will feel that it is unreasonable for Long Yang to defend Yanzhou.

The Long family's Western Army only has 50,000 to 60,000 men in Yanzhou. Why should they compete with the Yelu family's army of more than 100,000 people? In the early stage, they directly gave up one-third of the area. Now, it is more like a tactic to lure the enemy deeper. In order to establish the country, the Yelu family, He was also furious. Ever since he was blocked from going to Beijing in Yanzhou, the battle losses of the army began to increase, forcing the Yelu family to constantly mobilize manpower from the central area.

But before the bloody battle in Yanzhou, and in the face of Long Yang's consistent style, almost everyone simply ignored this unreasonableness and believed that the Long family would inevitably die in Shangjing.

Now that the fat man had laid out the situation one by one, Berlant and Bonnie were shocked by the weirdness and cunning in it.

Long Yang, the number one general in Central and Bibia, is not called for nothing. If Long Yang did not show weakness first, the Yelu family might not dare to attack Yan in a large scale, let alone fall into the quagmire of Yanzhou's offensive and defensive battle in Beijing. Likewise, if Long Yang If the family does not show weakness, the court may not dare to get involved in the southwest. Naturally, the Long family will not be able to use this as an opportunity to use thunderous means to wipe out the entire anti-Long family forces in the southwest in the shortest time!

If this kind of trap covered by layers of layers is not activated at the moment, who will!

"To be honest, even I am somewhat impressed by Long Yang." The fat man smiled coldly. "Such a painstakingly planned layout, which appears to show weakness, targets the Yelu family and the court. Is there any way to target our empire? It may not be impossible. Secretly, the ordnance, weapons, and people's morale have been planned for a year. If not, where have the large quantities of ordnance that the Long family purchased from the empire this year, enough to equip an army of 200,000 people, gone? , Two hundred thousand reserve troops is not a small number. Even if they are temporarily recruited from the southwest, I am afraid it will be strained and cause public resentment. But if they are recruited directly from the occupied central region, that is Another thing is that the violence of the grassland people in the central part of the country is well known to everyone. Those Central Asians who have been bullied and suppressed by the grassland people think of eating the grassland people alive. If the Long family calls, An will be The most fearless warrior!"

"Of course, the premise of all this is that the empire does not go to war with the Long family, otherwise it will fall short!" The fat man paused and shrugged his shoulders, "Long Yang probably won't even think of it if he breaks his head. I'll just stay at the southwest gate! Otherwise , it is really possible that this Long family member Regardless of whether he can capture the Imperial Capital in the end, it will be a huge profit for the Long family. Not only can he defeat the Yelu family and build up a huge prestige, but he can also gain control over the central region that the Long family has been unable to gain in the southwest. Enough troops have arrived!”

. . . . . . . . . . .

"How can this be done? How can the Southwest Long family do this?"

The emperor of Zhongbia was trembling while sitting on the dragon throne, and his whole face turned the color of pig liver with anger. A document sent from the southwest was thrown to the ground. Even the most confidant ministers looked at him. It’s very unnatural not to read this document. The Long family’s counterattack is so disrespectful to the court. The problem is that the court has no way to do it. This is the most embarrassing thing. Even if part of the Long family's troops in the southwest are trapped in Yanzhou, the remaining tens of thousands of Long family's Western troops are not something that the court can easily provoke. The court, which has just breathed a sigh of relief from the pressure of the Yelu family, is really It was because he did not have the strength to use troops against the southwest. At this moment, the entire court suddenly discovered that in fact, from the beginning, the Long family was not something that could be touched at will.

Just like now, being slapped in the face by someone, I still have to hold my breath and put on a high profile! The newly built Yingwu Hall was full of people, but it was silent at this moment, which made it even more weird. Hundreds of civil and military officials all lowered their heads at this moment, and none of them showed their faces. The emperor's plan was so good. The three envoys who entered the southwest were caught at once. He originally planned to take advantage of the opportunity when the main force of the Long family was in Yanzhou, and use chess pieces one by one to pull up the power of the Long family in the southwest, and take the opportunity to incorporate the southwest into the court. For the court that urgently needs to expand its strength and financial resources, the six southwestern provinces that have not experienced war can definitely be used. Enough to increase this year's fiscal revenue by half.

But I didn't expect that the Long family, a crude military family, would use force to overturn the situation without caring about the face of the court. Those who had some opinions about this at the beginning would not say a word. What is the Long family? It is a warlord entrenched in the region. When Long Feiyang entered the southwest, he killed many people along the way. Which member of the Long family did not kill people on the battlefield? Just because the head of the Long family, Long Yang, has been tolerant of the court, the ferocious beast of the Long family that eats human flesh and drinks human blood will forget its nature?

Directly using force to flatten everything and show the entire southwest who is the real master of the southwest. Its ruthlessness and decisiveness, and the speed of its launch, can definitely be called the ancient surgical precision strike. In just two days, dozens of clan leaders who were dissatisfied with the Long family were arrested, and the crisis of turmoil in the southwest was completely quelled in one fell swoop, expressing contempt for the Central and Asian court with a tough attitude!

This is not the most important thing. The arrogance of the Long family has not been for a day or two. Although the entry into the southwest failed, the situation has returned to the previous state. The court did not lose anything. It was just a matter of face. However, the news that came later made the Central and Asian court a little uneasy. A warlord family with heavy troops and entrenched in a place for decades would be an object that could be manipulated by others at will? If the Long family is really so easy, why would the Central and Asian court take action? The critical southern Song clan had already crossed the border between the two families and incorporated the southwest into the southern sphere of influence. But who dares to say such words! The whole plan was set by the emperor. To say that this plan is naive is not to say that His Majesty is naive. This is a crime punishable by death for the whole family. Since the fall of the imperial capital, any direct discussion of the emperor's strengths and weaknesses has been regarded as treason! The Central Asian court, unwilling to remain in mourning, angrily mobilized the 5,000 Fengcheng Zhangwu troops closest to the southwest to march from Lingyue to the southwest gate. However, before reaching the southwest, they were shocked by new news.

20,000 Long family western troops left the southwest gate Lingyang and attacked the Imperial Capital Plain controlled by the grassland people!
