Realm of Power

"The Yelu army crossed the border"

"The Yelu Army has nearly 100,000 troops, and there are reinforcements coming in from behind. It is conservatively estimated that the final strength may exceed 150,000."

"Yelu's former army has arrived at Bansu River, less than eighty miles away from Tianlang City."

"The Yelu family sent someone to announce that if the empire does not hand over the Mingyue Yanzhou Army within one day, they will begin to march towards Tianlang City."

"Mingyue Yanzhou Army? Who knows what is going on?" When Bonnie heard the report, her pretty face seemed to be covered with a layer of frost, and her five white fingers tightly grasped the message. The compatriots huddled together, as if they had thought of something, and glanced at the generals under their command.

"I don't know!"

Not only did she have such an expression, but also the entire command team of the Wilderness Legion felt as if they had been slapped. They were so dumbfounded that they had no idea what was going on. The Yelu family was so beaten that they actually dared to breathe. Come and kill! One hundred thousand grassland troops,

"What a big trick Bai Wufeng has made. If he makes a mistake, he will make a mistake. You should let him know. It happened so unexpectedly and no one was prepared!" A general complained with an ugly face. It was too sudden. , everyone is still repairing the city wall leisurely, and in the blink of an eye, the army will attack the city! Who can withstand such a huge surprise attack?

"The Yelu family's army is pressing down on the border. The Mingyue Yanzhou Army must have done something. People must be sent to the Mingyue Yanzhou Army immediately." Someone immediately agreed,

"The Ninth Banner of Mulihe must return immediately."

"I'm afraid it's a little late. Even if the Ninth Banner withdraws from the mountains now, it will still need to arrive tomorrow afternoon. The time given by the Yelu family is only one day."

"Hey, really, is Bai Wufeng crazy?" There were various sighs and complaints, and the generals shook their heads one by one. Although the Mingyue Yanzhou Army is stationed in the wilderness, it is not part of the Wilderness Army. There is no affiliation between the two parties. , On the contrary, the armaments and weapons of the Mingyue Yanzhou Army have been It has nothing to do with the Wilderness Army. It completely follows the path of the Imperial Guards Corps. To put it bluntly, it is an army directly under the full command of His Majesty the Emperor. Therefore, although this is an army dominated by Central Asians, it can even be regarded as a guest living in the wilderness. , but there is nothing the Wilderness Army can do.

It seems that Lady Bonnie and His Majesty the Emperor are both angry at this time. It seems that it is because they had different opinions on rescuing the Ninth Flag. In fact, everyone knows that Lady Bonnie is dissatisfied with the fact that there is an independent force in the wilderness that is not under her jurisdiction. , not to mention that this Budu is still a powerful force with thousands of heavy armored cavalry. In the battle to rescue the Ninth Banner, Bai Wufeng's Yanzhou heavy cavalry performed extremely well. Eye-catching, Bertrand Bonnie had long planned to bring this powerful cavalry force into his wilderness legion, which would improve the strength of the entire legion. The empire's heavy cavalry only has the Imperial Central Army and the Guards. The only powerful weapon in the army, if equipped with the Wilderness Legion, at least it will allow the Wilderness Legion to get rid of the limitations of the frontier army, and truly have the embryonic form of an imperial army.

It is a pity that His Majesty the Emperor does not seem to have the intention to hand over Mingyue Yanzhou Army to Lady Bonnie. For this reason, Lady Bonnie and the Emperor have fallen out. The two have been in a cold war for seven or eight days. In the past, when the Emperor was mentioned Your Majesty, Lady Bonnie’s eyes are sparkling Stars, now that His Majesty the Emperor is mentioned, Lady Bonnie’s nose is crooked. Everyone in the Wilderness Army is not a fool, no one can see it, so they deliberately avoid the term Yanzhou Mingyue Army, so as not to displease the superiors, or even Even its movements were not reported

Everyone thinks that the total strength of the Mingyue Yanzhou Army is only five or six thousand people. It is not big, but it is just a flag regiment. Could it really change the world? Who knows, it will change the world this time! The general in charge of the intelligence was so regretful that he cried. What the hell, who knows, Mingyue Yanzhou Army will really cross the border army and go directly to the Yelu family area, just that little bit. Man, what can he do? Under Bonnie Berlant's angry gaze, the person in charge of intelligence trembled. Knowing that he could no longer hide it, his face turned pale and he spoke in a trembling tone.

"I heard that Mingyue Yanzhou Army moved towards the east two days ago. At that time, I thought it was just a normal movement, so I didn't pay attention to it. It returned yesterday evening."

"To not pay attention to such an important matter is not to make fun of the lives of tens of thousands of people in my wilderness army. Is it necessary for the Yelu family to come to the city to report to me that this position is not suitable for you?" Bertrand Bonnie Leng Lie's eyebrows raised slightly, someone must be responsible for this matter, otherwise the whole army will face such a huge impact, and the morale of the army will inevitably be turbulent. , put the responsibility on the intelligence officer, stabilized the morale of the military first, and ordered the intelligence officer to be dismissed. Bertrand Bonnie turned to the female deputy behind him and said, "Get ready, I'm going to see His Majesty! That's how it will be." If so many grassland cavalry are brought into the empire's borders, even if they are real imperial guards, they still need to give me an explanation, let alone Bai Wufeng!"

Bertrand Bonnie was really angry this time, this joke was too big! Bai Wufeng's Mingyue Yanzhou Army dared to take the initiative. Without Fatty's nod and the support of Li Yuehua, the head of the intelligence department, even if they crossed the border, they would be blind.

Looking at the overall situation, introducing a group of more than 100,000 steppe cavalry into the national border without completing preparations is no longer a matter of strategy and courage, but a major decision-making error.

This is not an urban area with strong defenses, but a wilderness with no natural dangers for dozens or hundreds of miles. Here, the Yelu Army is almost in a flat plain. They can kill wherever they say, but only the remaining A Sirius city stands in the wilderness. Half of it was damaged by the emperor's attack last time. It will take at least three months to complete the repairs.

The strength of the entire Wilderness Legion is only 70,000 to 80,000, of which nearly 30,000 cavalry are mainly concentrated in the Ninth Banner under the command of Mulihe. They are still resting in the mountains. Even if they go south immediately, it will take more than a day. At that time, the strength of Tianlang City was only 40,000.

The time limit given by the Yelu Army is one day. After one day, one hundred thousand Yelu Army will rush towards Tianlang City. By then, it will be a sea of ​​​​blood and a mountain of corpses. The Wilderness Army still has no way to avoid it, because the Wilderness Army is a frontier army. When the enemy invades, it is the natural responsibility of the border troops to be on the front line without hesitation.

The problem is, Berlant and Bonnie are not willing to give in. What Yelvuguda wants is Bai Wufeng's Mingyue Yanzhou Army. What does it have to do with my Wilderness Army? The damn fat man is definitely seeking revenge this time! Why is she the one taking the blame? Berlant Bonnie feels like she wants to vomit blood due to depression.

An hour later, with the distorted military report in her hand, Berlant Bonnie pushed open the door of the room in front of her with a gloomy face, ready to ask questions, but she saw that it was empty inside, with dark brown benches. There was no one in the room, no one in the dark room, only the window curtains were fluttering in the wind, and the damn fat man was not there! Bertrand Bonnie stood at the door and was stunned for more than ten seconds. She felt extremely wronged. Was she hiding from herself? Or a coincidence? He turned around dejectedly and asked the two imperial guards standing guard at the door about the fat man's whereabouts.

"Your Majesty went hunting this morning!" the guard replied respectfully.

"Hunting?" This unexpected answer was like a thunderstorm exploding in Bonnie's mind, and her pretty face turned pale. "Hunting!" Bertrand Bonnie's fingers squeezed the military newspaper tightly, her knuckles made a rattling sound, and her teeth clenched her red lips. At this time, what kind of hunting was he going to do? One hundred thousand cavalry from the Yelu family are about to kill! What kind of hunting is he going for? What kind of hunting is there for an idiot who can't shoot at a target over twenty meters away?

The leaves began to turn a light yellow color in the early autumn air. This is mainly related to the dryness of the wilderness area. If it were in the humid Jiangnan area, the scenery should still be green and lush at this moment, but Princess Mingyue knew that at this moment, in the Jiangnan area where the war was spreading, In this place, no matter how beautiful the scene is, no one will appreciate it.

Although the Yelu family's cavalry was blocked at Sanjiangkou, the number of Central and Asian refugees fleeing due to the war southward has affected countless people. The flow of people fleeing south and southwest is so long that there is no end in sight. It is said that it is just a congestion. On the road to the southwest The number of Central-Bian refugees already exceeds one million. The Linhang area, which had just become prosperous, was almost deserted for dozens of miles during the First World War. The Central-Bian area was once divided into a large area with a north-south dividing line. The river finally did not block the Yelu family's horses.

Corpses littered the imperial capital, and the capital was in catastrophe. Princess Mingyue could no longer remember how many times she had woken up from nightmares. She still had some vague memories of the dream in her mind, including the fighting of thousands of people, the smoke-filled city, collapsed streets and houses, and the light of fire. It **** everything that can burn, the angry tide, the smell of blood, the piles of corpses, the rush and collision of the blocked rivers, soaking The swollen corpses floated on the river, layer by layer, and the white flowers made people feel sick. After seeing too many dead people, they no longer felt anything. The cavalry's crazy collision seemed to wake up something in the memory, from a long time ago. Coming from afar, the air seems to be full of the smell of blood. The decision to leave the royal family of Zhongbia is correct. The current royal family cannot save Zhongbia!

"Lord Bai Wufeng is back!"

"Wow, there are so many people. Lord Bai Wufeng has brought back so many people!"

"I'm afraid it's more than tens of thousands!" A burst of noisy voices came from outside the room.

Mingyue left the bedroom, but unexpectedly saw a generous figure sitting in the living room of the room. He gently picked up the water glass on the table, took a sip, and glanced over, which made Mingyue pause for breath.

"Your Majesty?" Princess Mingyue blinked her eyes and breathed quickly. She had never seen such clear and bright eyes. The black was like the starlight in the night sky. She had seen the courage of mountains of corpses and seas of blood, but in such a gaze There is a completely irresistible feeling below, which is completely a kind of attraction between men and women.

"I just arrived. I heard the noise outside and knew you were definitely going to come out, so I didn't let anyone call you."

The fat man put down the water glass in his hand with a stern expression, stood up, glanced at the cheering crowd outside, and said solemnly, "I'm here to tell you that Bai Wufeng defeated the grassland army in the northwest and attracted a hundred thousand troops of the Yelu family to pursue him. Come, the empire decides to give up the wasteland for the time being. Ye, in order to avoid the sharp edge of the Yelu family, originally only needed an order, but you know that I don't like to force people. The Imperial Army will leave soon. You can make a decision yourself, but I can tell you, stay! The result will definitely be to be killed by the Yelu family!"

"I always thought that the empire was the most powerful, but I didn't expect that the empire would be afraid of the Yelu family!" Princess Mingyue's face was a little pale. She had just raised her hopes but was hit hard again. A hint of coldness flashed through her charming eyes.

The reason why she chose the Empire is because looking at the entire Central Asia, only the Empire can curb the expansion of the Yelu family. But now, the fat man told her that the Empire chose to give up the wilderness in order to avoid the Yelu family. This really made her have to consider whether this path was the right choice.

"Are you afraid? Not really, but I don't want people to die in vain."

How could the fat man not hear the sarcasm in Princess Mingyue's tone? He just smiled lightly. He was not a fool. How could he not see that Princess Mingyue wanted to rely on the power of the Empire to contain the Yelu family and let Central Asia The Empire also took this opportunity to build a real Central Bian military force. The name of Mingyue Yanzhou Army has been spread.

This time, Yelu Guda urged 100,000 troops to follow all the way, which will inevitably cause a shock to the entire Central Bian. This is enough. It is not the time to fight with Yelu Guda in this wilderness. Although the Empire has such strength, the problem is that to defeat Yelu Guda's 100,000 cavalry, the Empire will inevitably pay a considerable price, which will only let other Central Bian forces benefit in vain.

For example, they have been against The Northern Royal Court, which had been eyeing the establishment of the Yelu family, would certainly give up Daizhou, but would take advantage of the emptiness of the northwest to charge into the northwest and compete with the empire. The Southwestern Dragon family would not sit idly by. Having just seized countless supplies and hundreds of thousands of soldiers in the heartland of the Yelu family, the Southwestern Dragon family had long been ready to go. They did not send troops to support Central Asia, but instead heavily stockpiled troops in their old nest Guangling, and entered the northwest from the southwest with almost no resistance. By that time, the empire had made great efforts and defeated the Yelu family's power in the northwest in a bloody battle, but all it got was an embarrassing three-way competition. Awkward situation,

"The decision has been made, Princess, take care of yourself." The fat man waved his hand and turned to leave. The beauty trap had no effect on him. Having said that, the fat man still looked at Princess Mingyue up and down, and sighed inwardly. As expected, she was worthy of the title of Mingyue. Even an ordinary palace skirt could bring out a bit of fairy spirit. The brown-red cotton yarn was embroidered with some exquisite pink auspicious cloud patterns. A wide belt made her slender waist more delicate. She was aloof and proud, just like a bright moon in the clouds. (To be continued.)
