Realm of Power

Judging from the map of the entire Zhongbia region, the contour lines of the Yanzhou Mountains are like a huge natural chasm, dividing the Zhongbia region into two parts. To the north is the northern prairie of the cold forest belt, and to the south is the northern prairie of the cold forest belt. , is the agricultural hinterland of China and Bia, crossing the Yanzhou barrier, with Daizhou as the At the gate, the earth has begun to loosen up here. The mountains of Yanzhou have begun to decline here and begin to gradually disappear towards the south. Within a hundred miles of Daizhou, where the sky and earth are clear, there are few hills and mountains. Occasionally, there are a few small hills creeping quietly. The rise of Daizhou will basically not change the fact that Daizhou is flat.

This huge flat area is the only way from Yanzhou to the Dijing Plain, the largest flat area in Central and Northwestern Asia. The thousands of miles of plains starting from Daizhou and going south has always been the most fertile area in central Central and Northwestern Asia. , during the heyday of the Zhongbia Empire, the grain output produced here accounted for more than one-half of the Zhongbia region. It was also the political, economic, and cultural center of Zhongbia, with abundant food and fertile land. It is the basics needed to build a powerful dynasty.

It was because Yelu Hongtai saw this that he led the 300,000 grassland tribesmen who went south in embarrassment, bypassing Yanzhou and heading straight to Daizhou. They finally defeated the Central Asian army in one fell swoop and completely occupied this area. In just two years, He quickly rose to become a hero, and now, the Yelu family is also facing the same danger. Daizhou is really not a zone that can be used as a defense. Without the northern line of Yanzhou, the Yelu family is already facing the embarrassing situation of having no protection.

As long as Daizhou is torn apart, we can enter the Imperial Plains and directly shake the foundation of the Yelu family's rule.

Yelu Hongtai personally took charge of Daizhou, and at the same time ordered the four departments with the most resources in the Yelu Group to each send 15,000 elite troops to garrison in Daizhou to prevent the southwestern Long family army that had just achieved a great victory in Yanzhou from moving southward. However, Because the two heirs of the Yelu family did not know whether they were alive or dead during the Battle of Yanzhou, and the other was killed. The Long family cut off their heads. When the news came out, the entire Yelu Group was shocked. No matter how powerful the Yelu family was, it was always unconvincing to have no heirs. Moreover, the Yelu family had lost more than just the Yelu family in Yanzhou. Among his own troops, there are 70,000 to 80,000 tribal cavalrymen responsible for the defense of the northern front.

Because of Yeluguda's mistakes, these tribes were forced to defect to the royal court in Yanzhou, which greatly reduced the Yelu family's reputation among the tribes.

There is a warning that hundreds of thousands of grassland tribes were abandoned in the northwest, and the same situation happened again in Yanzhou. Under this situation, who would dare to really put all their belongings on the Yelu family? This kind of shaking of people's hearts is like It was like an invisible cold wind that unknowingly affected the Yelu family's prestige and people's hearts. When it comes to this troop deployment order from the Yelu family, the attitudes shown by the four major groups are quite interesting. More than ten days have passed since the Battle of Yanzhou. Logically speaking, the Yelu Group entrenched in the central part of Zhongbia The four major cavalry units within should have arrived in Daizhou, but the situation turned out to be extremely surprising.

Among the four major ministries, the two major ministries that had a good relationship with the Yelu family all used the reason that it was difficult to mobilize their military strength in winter, so they only sent 5,000 cavalry to support the Daizhou front line, which was a full 10,000 less than the transfer order. In addition, The two major departments sent a total of 30,000 cavalry troops. Twice the number of transfer orders, among which the four Fengtai tribes among the four major divisions sent real veterans with elite combat capabilities. They were led by Mongolia Luo, a famous prairie general who had just emerged in the battle to the south. , Mongolia's reputation is already very loud on the grassland,

He is a descendant of the Golden Khan and is known as the best marksman in the northern grassland. The sniper bow in his hand is said to be able to penetrate the top of a flag two hundred steps away with one arrow. The divine horse under his crotch is also the famous wild horse king on the grassland. He is alone. Occupy the royal court and win the first place in the archery competition For ten years, until the civil war in the Royal Court, no one could surpass him. The fifteen thousand Beifeng Wolf Cavalry specially trained under his command were not at a disadvantage even against the Wang Tingwei. They were even good at close combat in the field of mounted archery. Wang Tingwei did not dare to compete with him.

In the Battle of the South, the Beifeng Wolf Cavalry defeated the defense line of the Central Asian Army several times, cutting off the Central Asian Army's first position and leaving countless corpses of the Central Asian defenders. In the end, they could not even rescue Linhang. They watched helplessly Linhang, which had just been founded less than two years ago, fell again!

Although the most famous war in the south against Central Asia was Yeluguda's successful sneak attack on Linhang, the entire upper echelon of the Yelu Army knew that Yeluguda was only able to overcome the layers of defenses of the Central Asian army and penetrate Linhang in one fell swoop. Hangzhou, scared away the Central and Asian emperor, and eventually led to the complete destruction of the Central and Asian armies. The reason for the collapse of the line was that the 80,000 Sino-Bian flattery troops who were responsible for guarding Linhang at that time were intercepted and killed by Mongolia's northern wolf cavalry in a valley less than thirty miles away from Linhang. Linhang basically had almost no troops stationed there. In the gap, Yelu Guda succeeded with a light cavalry charge.

In the end, it triggered the collapse of more than 200,000 Central Asian troops who participated in the entire battle. Among them, Mongolia's troops alone killed more than 80,000 heads, ranking first in the number of enemy kills in the Linhang Battle! There are even rumors that if it wasn't for the purpose of overshadowing Mongolia's achievements, Yeluguda would not have madly issued an order to massacre the entire Linhang. In the end, Mongolia's achievement of beheading 80,000 people was lost to Yeluguda's massacre of 30 people. From Wanlinhang people Cruelty, on the grassland, itself is a display of strength. Regarding this, various tribes also have mixed praise and criticism for Yelu Guda. Only then did the Yelu family feel guilty and sent Yelu Qiyeguang to Daizhou. Yelu Guda Da sent the adjustment to the northwest,

It can be said that without Mongolian Luo, there would not have been the tragic defeat of the Yelu family in the northwest battle against the empire, and the tragic attack by the Long family and the Wang Ting army in Yanzhou. It can be seen that this famous grassland general with the blood of the Golden Family, for the Yelu family The pressure has reached to what extent, and now, the Yelv family There was no successor, and the ministries were waiting and watching. Even the two major ministries that had a good relationship with the Yelu family among the four major ministries began to show signs of wavering. It was under this situation that the news of Mongolia's arrival in Daizhou was like a A stone was thrown into the lake, and what exploded was not only water splash, but also various ambitions.

On the city wall of Daizhou, a young man from the prairie with a cold face stood on the wall like a goshawk, his left hand unconsciously stroking the cold and rough stone wall, his eyes looking deeply at the distant north, which is the direction of Yanzhou. Behind him, a dozen or so soldiers wearing Fengtai armor stood tall and tall, holding the handles of scimitars in their hands and carrying recurve bows rarely used by prairie people on their waists. The bow strings were all black. The oil was shiny, and I was carrying two full barrels behind me. Arrow clusters, the front end of each arrow cluster is a heavy iron arrow. Such heavy arrows are definitely a luxury for prairie people. Only the most elite archers have the right to equip heavy arrows, and everyone here, It's all like this, The man stood on the city wall, wearing iron armor, letting the cold wind and cold snow hit his body, but his eyes were like iron and stone, giving him the feeling that he was facing a stone. At a glance, he could tell that it was a real mountain of corpses and blood. The warriors coming from the sea,

"Young Patriarch, the Patriarch told me that this is a sensitive period, especially since Yelu Hongtai has lost his children. No one knows whether he will do something crazy, so it is better to be careful!" A guard from the Fengtai Department looked solemn. Said to the young man in front,

"Don't worry, no matter how sharp Yelu Hongtai is, he is not bold enough to kill me in public."

The stern young man smiled coldly, turned around from the front, his handsome face seemed to have a hint of air-conditioning. Standing between heaven and earth, as if no one dared to offend his majesty, he was Mongolia, this The name, at certain times, is much more dazzling than the royal court.

Standing on the city wall of Daizhou, what echoed in his mind was a sound like thunder, an echo from hundreds of years ago. Although it was barely noticeable to others, for him, But he knew that the Jin family had arrived in Daizhou, and even the word Daizhou was a name given by the Jin family. In grassland dialect, Daizhou actually means the place where horses stop, but few people would contact it in this way.

Thinking back hundreds of years ago, it was the time when the Golden Family was at its peak. The prairie people fought in the north and south. It is said that the farthest ones crossed thousands of miles of wilderness and went straight into the hinterland of Obalo. In the south, they also fought as far as the Hundred Thousand Mountains. At that time The princes with the aura of the golden family are so high-spirited. They ride their horses and whips and trample all the lands they can conquer. How heroic they are.

But now, standing on this land, his heroic spirit has disappeared. He feels more deeply regretful that the Golden Family, which once devoured thousands of miles like a tiger, was eventually lost in the long river of history. Even if he is like this The descendants of the Golden Family know only a few words about the split of the Golden Family back then. But now, the Golden Family has become a name that has been used and robbed by others, but a true descendant of the Golden Family like himself needs to be subordinate to others.

The Yelu family's tragic defeat in Yanzhou can be said to be an eye-opener for Changsheng.

Thinking about how brave the Yelu family was at the beginning, when they led 300,000 tribesmen to march south into Zhongbia, they were so unstoppable and overwhelming that they easily defeated the Zhongbia people thousands of miles away and captured them. This piece of coveted fertile soil...but Just two years later, the scene of that day seemed to be reversed. As the victors, the Yelu family began to taste the counterattack of the Central Asians. On the occasion of the founding of the country, they suffered the result of the loss of all the heirs. , has begun to feel shaky.

The heir of the Yelu family died in the battle at Yanzhou, and the royal court's power was greatly damaged and returned to the grassland. It seems that Changshengtian still did not abandon his favorite son. Hundreds of years later, he once again placed the opportunity to build a great grassland empire in front of him. Among the four major ministries, two major ministries that had a good relationship with the Yelu family had their marriage relationship broken due to Yelu Guda's death, which led to a significant reduction in support for the Yelu family.

The other major department, Qi Nu, has clearly expressed its intention to elect the Fengtai Department as its leader. What he lacks now is to wait for the Yelu family to announce the holding of a regular meeting once a month. By then, only three-quarters of the members will be needed. If the tribe is on their side, then the Fengtai tribe can replace the Yelu family and become the new leader of the entire group.

"Yelu Hongtai, I admit that you are the hero of the grassland people, but you are already old. Don't you feel ashamed to stand in your position for nothing?"

Mongolia tightened his grip on the city wall, and a cloud of snowflakes exploded. He raised his head and looked at the snowflakes flying in the sky. This feeling of vastness gave him the urge to suppress a long shout, "God of Immortality" , have you seen that the blood of the Golden Family is here? My body is burning. If I can really reproduce the glory of the Golden Family, I am willing to swear to you with my soul of Mongolia. I will make the whole world crawl at the feet of the Changshengtian, even the Falcon Empire. Will become an object of conquest!

"Mongolia, didn't I tell you not to leave the camp during this period? Why are you here on the city wall of Daizhou!" An old man wearing a prairie robe tremblingly came up from the stairs on the city wall and walked toward where Mongolia stood. Walk over. The soldiers next to you look at Everyone who saw him showed respectful expressions and bowed to him. The old man was already in his fifties, but his body was still strong and his legs and feet were nimble. He soon came to Mongolia. He happened to see Mongolia. Luo looked up at the snowflakes in the sky and the earth with cold and arrogant eyes.

"Teacher, I'm just a little bored, so I came out for a walk."

Mongolia answered respectfully. The old man in front of him was called Ha Hema, and he was his teacher. It’s good to know that this old man named Ha Hema was actually a Central Asian. Many years ago, he didn’t know what The reason was that he was exiled to the Fengtai tribe because he was noticed by his father because of his talents. He began to teach him about China and Bia from the age of four.

Therefore, Mongolian Luo can say without humility that apart from Yelu Hongtai, who else among the grassland people can compare with him in their understanding of Zhongbia? During the Battle of Linhang in the south, I could almost see through the tactics of the Central and Bian generals at a glance. It was ridiculous that the Central and Bian generals didn't know this at all, and thought that they defeated them several times just because they were so brave. In fact, how did they know that if they had not deliberately opened a gap because they did not want to see the Yelu family establish a country, all the 200,000 Central Asian troops in Linhang would have been wiped out by Yelu Hongtai!

"Monguluo, I know you have always liked Yelu Qiyeguang, but this is not the time to talk about the love between children, so I have changed the order you sent to search." The old man looked at Mongolia for more than ten seconds. After the clock, she sighed and said, "No matter whether Yelu Qiyeguang is alive or not, she must be dead now, you know!"

"Yes, teacher, I'm too weak." A trace of ferocity flashed across Mongolia's face, but he quickly lowered his head and said, "Yelü Qiye Guang, are you really dead?" (To be continued.)
