Realm of Power

"Really?" Hearing Bai Wufeng's words, Long Xueshan raised his eyebrows, his face was startled, and he said calmly, "I'm really sorry, because the intelligence on the northern line has basically been cut off, so I don't know yet. What the Long family did in Yanzhou: "But so what?" Long Xueshan then curled his lips slightly,

"you!"

Bai Wufeng's face turned blood red. He originally thought that the other party would say an apology, but he didn't expect it to be like this. So what? Tens of thousands of people were slaughtered. Instead of apologizing for the Long family's atrocities, the other party's tone was full of contemptuous indifference.

"Haha, isn't it?'

Looking at Bai Wufeng's flushed face, Long Xueshan took it for granted and smiled with a contemptuous mouth, "What I said is a bit unpleasant, but that's how it is. What Yanzhou military subordinates, to put it nicely, were originally There are dozens of family members of the famous Central and Asian First War Army. Over the years, the barrier that has supported the prosperity of singing and dancing in Zhongbia, but such Yanzhou troops have been killed and fled by the grassland people. Now, when the people of Yanzhou are mentioned in Zhongbia, who is not itching with hatred? If it weren’t for the rebellion of the Yanzhou Army, how could Zhongbia be in the current situation?”

Long Xueshan paused, looked at the flow of people around, and said with a smile, "In Lanzhi City, you can go to other places in Zhongbia and say that you are from Yanzhou and see what the other party will say." I won’t beat you to death! At first, Lord Long Yang only took care of those humble Yanzhou soldiers because they were once guarding one side. Now even Lord Long Yang has died in Yanzhou. Those Yanzhou soldiers What status do military dependents have? "

Long Xueshan said reluctantly, "To put it bluntly, they are just slaves used by a group of grassland people to vent their hatred. They are lackeys that even the grassland royal court looks down upon. The Long family only killed these burdensome people to clean up impurities. Your Excellency." Don’t you think it should be? “”I Just tell the truth! The Yanzhou soldiers have become slaves of the grassland people, and you have become an officer of the empire. I have to say that you Yanzhou people are really the same in nature. You are all a bunch of ignorant white-eyed wolves!" After finishing speaking, there was still a smile on his face,

"I remember what the Long family said!"

Bai Wufeng looked at Long Snow Mountain ferociously with his eyes, almost grinning. The anger in his heart made him want to shout at this moment, the Yanzhou Army did not fail Zhongbia, it was Zhongbia who failed the Yanzhou Army! The clenched fingers sent back a heartbreaking pain. Bai Wufeng, who was already extremely angry, suddenly saw the teasing look in Long Xueshan's eyes, like two sharp swords piercing his brain.

"No, I've been fooled!" Bai Wufeng suddenly felt as if a basin of ice water was poured on his head, and a stream of cold sweat rushed up from his tailbone. How could he have forgotten that the Long family had always wanted to attack Lanzhi City? Although the Long Xueshan in front of him is a well-known war sect within the Long family, he is definitely not a hot-headed fool. Provoking himself in his own territory is definitely not that simple.

"Sir, please! Your Highness the Princess has been waiting for a long time. Please!" Bai Wufeng suppressed his anger and waved his hand.

Long Xueshan sighed secretly when he saw Bai Wufeng suddenly calm down, his eyes narrowed into a line, and the cold light was so cold that the other party actually held back. It's a pity that it's just a little bit close. I thought it would be better to provoke the other party and let the other party take action against me. In this case, even if the Long family army later marches into Lanzhi City with force, it will be the reason for the empire to take action first. To start a war, It has always been the first to strike first, not to mention that now in terms of military power comparison, the Long family has the absolute initiative. According to intelligence It shows that the main force of the empire is not in the northwest and south at all. The entire imperial army of Lanzhi City has only three to four thousand people killed, and the Long Family Flying Tiger Army under his command is a full strength of 20,000 people. With the establishment of the sub-frontline army, as long as the opponent dares to take action, the 20,000-strong army that he had already issued a combat readiness order before leaving will immediately swoop in.

Unexpectedly, this Bai Wufeng could be so tolerant! Even after talking about this, he could still hold back. If it were him, I would have ordered the arrest long ago. He has such endurance at such a young age. He is indeed worthy of being among the dead of the Yanzhou Army in the past. The ruthless person who crawled out,

To say that the Yanzhou Army is really worthless is to tell lies with your eyes open.

The Southwest Long Family and the Yanzhou Army both serve as barriers to the west and north of Zhongbia. They have been fighting openly and secretly for decades. Who doesn’t know who is the other? The Yanzhou Army was destroyed by the grassland people, and the whole of Central Asia was scolding the Yanzhou Army for its incompetence. How many years of money and food, even for raising a guard dog, were all overpowered by the Yanzhou Army.

Only the Long family said nothing about this. When Long Yang took over Yanzhou, he also showed kindness to the former Yanzhou soldiers in every possible way. He only hoped that those Yanzhou soldiers who died could rest in peace.

But look what the people of Yanzhou have done

He was not grateful for the favor given by the Long family. Instead, he accused the Long family of not standing up to speak for Yanzhou. The former Yanzhou military leader Gao Sach even personally led the Wang Ting army south. Otherwise, tens of thousands of Wang Ting soldiers who were not familiar with the terrain of Yanzhou would How could the army silently rush all the way to Yan? In the end, the former head of the Long family, Long Yang, who was exhausted from the fight with the Yelu family, did not even have time to evacuate to the capital. He and tens of thousands of Long family children were massacred by the Wang Ting army. Those in Yanzhou who had previously been taken care of by the Long family The military members, at this moment, turned to the royal court again,

In order to survive, he did not hesitate to assist Wang Ting's army in hunting down injured and fleeing Long family soldiers. So much so that when he went to Yanzhou with Long Yang, the 50,000 Long family soldiers were less than a hundred who escaped back to the southwest. Every household in Guang Linchuan was hung. The soul-calling flags, in the cold wind, are like a city made of soul-calling flags! From that moment on, there was no room for relaxation between the Yanzhou Army and the Long Family. The new head of the family, Long Po, also expressed his determination to take revenge in front of the generals. Since the Long Family’s army returned to Yanzhou this time , how could it be possible that there was no movement at all?

The fact that the head of the Long Po family slaughtered all the Yanzhou military subordinates can only be described as extremely satisfying to everyone in the Long family!

With a livid face, Bai Wufeng led Long Xueshan into the hall. If he had enough strength, he would have taken action long ago, but now, he can only endure it. His Yanzhou Flag Regiment is mainly composed of several subordinates. Baiyanzhou people were the main body, and some were recruited from the region. The number of people is only about 3,000, but the Long Xueshan army of the Long family opposite is a well-equipped and fully recharged army of 20,000 people. Although the main force of the empire is powerful, part of it is now in Yanzhou, and the other part is taking over. Affairs on the front line of Dijing West Road,

For Lanzhi in the south, it is beyond our reach in a short time.

In an office on the third floor of the hall, Princess Mingyue's cold face turned from the window, and the bright sunshine shone on her pale yellow skirt. After experiencing the ruthless killings in the north, she saw the warm sunshine in the south again. , Princess Mingyue always feels a little difficult to adapt,

Or maybe the sun here makes her feel a little disgusted

Such brightness reminded her so easily of the beautiful setting sun at the Baili Long Pavilion in the former imperial capital, the ten-mile Qinhuai River rolling under the golden sunset, the fishermen singing late in the night, the boats drinking wine, and the scribes wearing wide robes and long sleeves. I like to gather at Huajianjiu by the Qinhuai River. Inside the building, every night, the lights in the ten-mile Qinhuai River are dotted, just like the stars in the sky falling into the river and flowing with the waves. At that time, I was still a girl who was inexperienced in the world, but now, it seems that she has begun to become more and more beautiful. I like to hear the sound of the armored warriors.

The current Lanzhi City seems to be very lush, but in fact it is like walking on thin ice under the blooming flowers. The Long family's army may attack the city at any time.

The current Long family is no longer the Long family that lived in a remote place in the past. Instead, it is a world-famous Long family known as the pillar of Central Bia. It has caused a rebellion in the northwest that shocked the entire Central Bia. In the Battle of Raid, looking northwest, he shot Tianlang, and in the Battle of Yanzhou, he killed Yelu Guda, forcing the grassland royal court to voluntarily withdraw from Yanzhou. Now he is in Daizhou, scaring away a generation of tycoon Yelu Hongtai, and overwhelming all the grassland tribes.

This series of invincible and frightening military exploits is like a miracle. In the past, who would have dared to think of it?

The current reputation of the Long family in Central and South Asia has risen to a level that makes most people admire them. Compared with this, several mistakes in strategic battles, two catastrophes in which the imperial capital was destroyed, and the city and land were abandoned. Territories were ceded to make peace, and the emperor and all his people were missing. The reputation of the Biya royal family has become much bleak. Looking at the Biya royal family, except for myself, every one of them is either drunk and dreaming, or pretending to be crazy and stupid under the arrogance of the Song clan in the south. Even the identity of the eldest princess, herself, needs to be verified. Look at the Song clan’s face!

Fortunately, I was well prepared. After taking over Lanzhi, I immediately wrote letters to all the nobles in the south as the eldest princess of the royal family, inviting the caravans of these nobles to come to Lanzhi to participate in trade and become familiar with the products of various nobles. Di has always been something that the children of the royal family of China have to learn from an early age.

As a child of the royal family, you can be uneducated, you can act recklessly, and you can't even say a word that can be considered a crown, but you must not make a mistake about your family status, because the previous ones are all small things, and this is where big things will really happen. , something like this happened in Central Asia before. When a prince met with his ministers, he accidentally mistakenly referred to a military minister of the second rank as a third rank. As a result, that After the famous military minister returned, he immediately committed suicide in anger. In a country like Zhongbia, where the family hierarchy is very important, just one rank difference is the greatest humiliation. And the greatest punishment that emperors of all dynasties have given to those ministers who couldn't bear to look at them is, Also demoting him by one rank, which is tantamount to announcing to the entire Zhongbia Empire that this person is bad. How many people, how many generations, all he wants is to add one rank to his family line.

With the background of the royal princess, Princess Mingyue has almost no omissions from the regional family of the second or third grade to the small family of the fifth or sixth grade.

Faced with the invitation from the majestic royal family Princess Mingyue, the gatekeepers still gave some face. Although the court did not admit it, it has been confirmed by several veterans that there is no doubt that Princess Mingyue is in Lanzhi, and the northern trade route was blocked due to the war. Cut off, and the door that is in urgent need of property needs to find a new trade route. , there is no doubt that Lanzhi City, where Princess Mingyue is seated, and the imperial background behind Lanzhi City, is undoubtedly the best choice. The whole of Central Asia knows that the empire spares no effort to protect trade routes, and trade routes protected by the empire , in terms of safety, even the northern route that originally needed to pass through Yelujia,

As for those lower-ranking nobles of the fifth and sixth grades who were not very well-established, they were naturally flattered by the invitation from the eldest princess and flocked to Lanzhi City, so much so that whether a caravan was sent to Lanzhi City in a short period of time was already a matter of concern to them. For the sake of face, the heads of the sects participated During various banquets, they talked about how big a caravan, how many carriages, and how many people he had sent to Lanzhi. When he heard that another person was more qualified than him, he turned around and ordered the servants behind him to increase the number of caravans. Thanks to such efforts, Lanzhi is in its current situation.

Otherwise, the Long family might have killed them long ago!

Long Snow Mountain...Princess Mingyue wrote three words on the white paper on the table, then balled it up with one hand and threw it into the trash can. No matter who came this time, her current attitude towards the Long family is With one word, it dragged until the empire began to have enough energy to take care of Lanzhi, until the war situation in the north changed, until the Long family had to give up its ambitions for Lanzhi, and until the Central and Asian courts began to officially recognize the true princess of their royal family. identity,

"Your Majesty, will Long Xueshan really attack Lanzhi City?"

When the female knight walked in from the door and put a stack of reports from the Empire's internal affairs on the table, the fat man was examining the map of Dijing West Road in China. When he saw Bertrand Bonnie coming in, he put the map of Dijing West Road in his hand. Pressing on the table, he smiled, "I just have that hunch. According to my understanding of Long Po, although the main force of the Long family is Longshi Castle suffered a setback, but in order to break the situation, Long Po will do whatever it takes. The Daizhou Prairie Army must die with only 70,000 to 80,000 people. Don’t forget, Long Po has 300,000, and there are more than 100 people behind the Long family. There are tens of thousands of refugees in the northwest, but Long Po has ignored millions of refugees in the northwest. Now, he won’t be afraid of too many people dying!”

"What your Majesty means is that the Dragon Breaker will drive the refugees to attack the city!" Bertrand Bonnie took a breath of air. Indeed, the number and impact of more than one million refugees are such that the situation is really desperate. Who dares to say that Dragon I dare not do that!

"It should be like this." The fat man nodded and said to the female knight, "Do you remember the Katiba tribe leader? The one who attacked the empire's convoy? In order to appease the empire's anger, the Katiba tribe really killed the unlucky new patriarch. Ugusu was sent, and I acted as As a favor, I gave it to Yelu Hongtai again. I also wanted to see how Yelu Hongtai would handle this matter. After all, the relationship between the Katiba tribe and the Yelu family was unusual, and the new patriarch’s rise to power was because of the former patriarch Ural. Death, guess what the outcome will be?'

"What else can I do? I must kill him!" Bonnie Bonnie gave her a wink.

"No, Yelu Hongtai casually released the entire Ugusu. Not only did he still serve as the chief of the Katiba tribe, but he also fully supported Ugusu's liquidation of several big nobles in the clan. This trick really made me I have to admit that Yelu Hongtai is very capable in this kind of matter."

"Let him go? Aren't Yelu Hongtai and the old patriarch close friends of life and death?'

Therefore, the prairie people are a utilitarian nation." The fat man sighed. "When you pull and release, the meaning completely changes."

Fatty can dare to say that if Wu Gusu was in the Fengtai camp before, he is now firmly in the Yelu family camp. The Fengtai tribe just raised him up as a puppet, but Yelu Hongtai is It was also because of the support of the Yelu family that he was promoted to the throne of the clan leader, so Wu Gusu would never dare to betray the Yelu family.

Now that the empire has begun to fully take over control of the Imperial Capital West Road, the Katiba tribe secretly withdrew from the cities on the Imperial Capital West Road under the orders of the new clan leader. Just when most people were unable to notice, twenty-two people on the Imperial Capital West Road The flags of the empire have now been planted in the three cities, and they have also taken over the Central Asian slaves, which number 7 to 8 million. Regarding this number, the fat man's expression is not good-looking, you know. Dao, although Dijing West Road is not the Imperial Capital, it is already a prosperous area in Central Asia. According to Li Yuehua, when the Dijing West Road was the most prosperous, the total population was 11 million. In other words, after passing through the grassland people Due to the destruction, the population of Dijing West Road has shrunk by more than 90%. The empire has not actually benefited much from swallowing up Dijing West Road. Yelu Hongtai is indeed an old slicker!

Another year has come in a blink of an eye. I wish you all a happy New Year, great wealth, great luck, and the best in life! (To be continued.) 8
