Realm of Power

The rain hits the city head of Guangbo, and the water droplets appear like a pale curtain

The Long family military flag erected on the top of the city collapsed straight in the wind and rain, showing the weight of cracking like iron. On the eaves of the hall in Guangbo City, water lines like broken beads flew like waterfalls. When he went down, he collided hard with the stone steps below, and the rain made an uproar.

In the corridor of the hall, a row of armored soldiers from the Long family stood on both sides with serious expressions. A murderous atmosphere spread in the falling early spring rain. The rainy season in the southwest mostly occurs in spring and summer, freezing a full month for the cold winter. Many months of southwest land bring sufficient moisture, which is also the reason for the entire west The most important seasonal symbol in the southern region, the arrival of the rainy season heralds the end of winter and the arrival of spring. For the Long family this year, it has a special meaning. This rain blocked the imperial army from invading the southwest. , and further proves the Long family’s theory of destiny,

The Long family generals who were sitting in the hall were all focused on the old man sitting in the center seat. A negotiation agreement from the empire was placed on the table by the old man.

The old man's ferocious eyes were looking at a calm-looking Central Asian businessman in front of him, and he said coldly, "The empire actually asks for negotiation? Are you kidding? What did the empire think of our Long family? They killed tens of thousands of our Long family in Kaishan. It's an armistice! It's such a fool's errand to say that everything north of Guangbo belongs to the empire! A truce is also possible. We also understand the hardships of the empire coming to the east. Let's let our people go first, and then our two families will use Tianlang City as a line. The west of Tianlang City belongs to the empire, and the east of Tianlang City belongs to us. Long family, if the empire agrees, our Long family will agree to cease war with the empire. Otherwise, we will meet on the battlefield! "

The Central Bian businessman was wearing a gorgeous toga, with a slender figure, a broad face, and two thick eyebrows that reflected a somewhat heroic aura. After staring at Longshan for a long time, he let out a breath and said, "" Lord Longshan, not only will the empire not agree to such conditions, it may even lead to a bigger war. Do you really want to reply like this? "This Central Asian businessman is called Lu Su. He is a middleman between the Long family and the empire. He is an acquaintance of the Long family, so the empire approached him to deliver this negotiation agreement.

Originally, Lu Su also thought that the current situation of the Long family was very likely to agree, but the situation in front of him made him sigh secretly. It was impossible. If three days ago, the Long family might still be worried about the empire breaking through. Guangbo, but now, from the eager expressions on the faces of the Long family generals, it can be seen that the Long family is now full of confidence. The reason is very simple. The Long family now has an absolute advantage.

As a family military group that has guarded the border for generations, the mobilization capabilities within the Long family can be imagined. As the headquarters made a decision, the generals immediately returned to their own troops and continued to move forward as quickly as possible. Under Guangbo City, if you have a pair of eyes in the southwest sky at this moment, you will find that the entire southwest army is mobilizing. It is true that the reputation of the empire is a bit scary, and the generals have no confidence in their hearts, so the more troops, the better With the idea, as long as the power can be mobilized, they are all heading towards Guangbo City.

Under Guangbo City, the Long family's military strength is constantly increasing, fifty thousand, eighty thousand, one hundred thousand... The small Guangbo City has gathered nearly 150,000 Long family troops. The Long family's camp is centered on Guangbo. The military tents stretched for several miles in length, with military flags like a sea, and men and horses like dragons. With such military might, from top to bottom, who would believe that the Long family would be defeated? ,

How could such a Long family give in?

Even from Longshan's unceremonious tone, Lu Su could hear the implication.

If it weren't for the fact that he had been running for the Long family many times this time, he would probably have cut off the head of the courier and sent it back, or cut off the nose of the courier, in accordance with the traditional Chinese way of showing contempt for enemies. and ears, and then drive them back with mud all over their bodies,

"This is the answer from my Long family"

Glancing at the defeated Lu Su, the pale Longshan snorted heavily, threw the agreement at Lu Su's feet, and said coldly, "How did such a thing come, how do you send it back, tell that person The emperor of the Western Continent, our Long family has experienced countless wars since we were stationed in the southwest. After fighting the Europeans and the Gauls, what does it mean to the Empire now? "Over the past dynasties, the number of Long family members who have died on the battlefield has not been one hundred thousand, but seventy or eighty thousand. How could there ever be a person who knelt down to a foreigner and wanted to compete with a foreigner?" Our Long family's negotiations are really whimsical. Our Long family is not like the Yelu family who just run away south after being frightened!"

Seeing Long Shan's attitude, Lu Su picked up the agreement on the ground and sighed. There is no possibility of changing this matter. If Long Po is the head of the family here at this moment, or some say, the problem is, standing here The person is Longshan, the killing god Longshan

This name is not come by casually, but is based on the piles of bones and bones of the mountain people in the south.

Longshan is the senior one in the Long family, and he is also the most famous murderer in the Long family. He is known for his decisiveness, courage to fight, and ruthless methods. As the person in charge of the family's suppression of the south, during the thirty years of the Southwest-South Front, he has done a lot for The mountain people in the south have always used force to suppress them and require the Long family's southern troops to station themselves at the border. All the southern mountain people's villages within fifty miles must be removed within ten days, otherwise force will be used. The result will naturally arouse strong resistance from the mountain people. As a result, not only 100,000 people died at the hands of Longshan, but also some. Seventy to eighty thousand, and countless villages inhabited by mountain people along the line were burned down under his orders.

"To cut weeds, we must remove the roots, otherwise it will be a situation where the spring breeze blows and it will grow again. Why are the mountain people who invade the southwest always killed? After a while, they will offend the southwest border, and the number is getting bigger and bigger. There were only a few hundred people at the beginning, but now they dare to gather together There are tens of thousands of roars, each time causing great impact and losses to our southwest extension. This is because there are these mountain people's villages supporting the border line. The only way is to completely pull out all these supporting points and take a look. Which mountain tribe dares to invade the area fifty miles southwest of me! "

Although Longshan's approach made Longshan notorious, its effect was extremely good. Since the mountain people's village within fifty miles of the border was pulled out, the mountain people's tendency to expand to the southwest has been stopped. Even if Those who occasionally entered the southwest border fifty miles away chose to retreat because they were afraid of Longshan's powerful methods.

When the name Killing Dragon Mountain is mentioned among the mountain people in the south, it means an existence like the King of Yama.

And Longshan's stubborn temper has never been soft even against the Song clan in the south. Just a few years ago, a very famous young descendant of the Song clan sneaked into the southwest under an assumed name to seek revenge from a local aristocratic family because of a personal grudge. , as a result, the aristocratic family member suffered many casualties, and colluded with the local garrison to capture him. As a last resort, the young man reported his identity.

After all, the Song clan is the largest clan in the south, and among the Shan tribe, even the Long family must consider it.

What's more, at that time, the Song clan, in accordance with the marriage customs, married the daughter of a core member of the Song clan to the emperor, and she was immediately named a noble concubine.

This woman was the young man's biological sister. When she heard that her younger brother had been arrested by the Long family, the imperial concubine personally wrote a plea letter. Regardless of her status as a concubine, as a member of the Song clan, she had no regard for Longshan. It is still very clear who he is, and using physical force to suppress him will only be counterproductive. In order to ask the Southwest Long family to be more generous, even Song Que, the always aloof leader of the Song clan, personally came forward and agreed to use a mountain fifty miles away. In exchange for a way of survival for this junior,

The land is rich in the precious medicinal material Qishan Fruit, which is a specialty of the south. It is an essential medicine for healing wounds and stopping bleeding. The Long Family is a military town. It has been fighting against the Western Continent for many years. The demand for wound medicine is huge, and high prices must be spent every year. Purchasing Qishan fruits from the Song people in the south, if we can get this mountain land, will only save a lot of money. The purchase cost is enough to equip three thousand elite soldiers of the Long family. However, this mountainous area is also a treasure of the Song family. Although the Long family in the southwest has a strong military, it is still inferior to the Song family, one of the four great clans. Now that the Song clan has sent it themselves, Long Yang, the head of the Long family, naturally has no reason to reject it.

It’s just a son of the Song clan. It doesn’t matter if he is released. Getting that mountainous land is a real benefit. As a result, Longshan directly refused the family’s order to release him and deliberately advanced the execution time. It was bleak. The setting sun was also such a cold weather. By the time Long Yang sent people from the family headquarters and rushed to the execution ground panting to stop it, the execution was already over. The ground was covered with blood. A genius who had high hopes for the Song clan had died. See The general's head was covered Veteran General Long Shan crushed him with his foot, and his white brains splattered on his boots. The envoy sent from the headquarters almost fainted. "You really got into trouble this time. It's okay if you killed someone. Why did you still take the head?" They've all been stepped on. I won't even be able to give away my head. Go back, it’s clear that the other party can’t even keep the body intact and put it to rest. If my Long family doesn’t agree, forget it. Now it’s not that I’m embarrassed and can’t stand down, but that I’m nakedly humiliating the “family envoy of the Song clan”. Said angrily

"Nephew Long Xiao, it is not difficult to let this person go, but if you let this person go, the rules established by Longshan will be broken. Once the mountain people retreat, in order to restore the current situation, it will not be thousands of people. The casualties can be compensated." Longshan curled his lips coldly, He bowed his hand to the envoy from the base camp who had a grimace on his face, with a look of disdain on his face, "Third uncle, I know you have always wanted to go to war with the Song people, but this time you really went too far." When he heard the other party, he immediately moved out of his seniority. Okay, what else does this family messenger have to say? He can only sigh.

He is also a very important core member of the family. He is really dumbfounded by the current situation. The entire family knows that Longshan has been guarding the southern front for thirty years. His biggest wish is to completely pacify the southern front, and the biggest obstacle is undoubtedly It is the Song people in the south. These thirty Over the years, Longshan continued to use iron-blooded methods to suppress the development of the mountain people, step by step squeezing the living scope of the southern mountain people, coupled with the deliberate restrictions on the court, it was like a cage, locking the Southern Song people tightly in Inside, I have seized such an opportunity this time and am not willing to miss it.

"Kill them all, why are you talking so much nonsense? Just tell Long Yang that he doesn't want to take advantage of such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. As the third uncle, I can't just open my eyes and pretend I can't see it!" Longshan laughed. , a pair of big hands patted the family messenger heavily on the shoulder, and said

"I know that he, Long Yang, pays attention to the morality of his family and country, but I don't recognize this. Don't say that he, Long Yang, can't see that the power of the Song clan is weakening. It is no longer what it used to be. Not only has it lost more than a hundred miles of land, but even this The court took away the control of the river for the first time, and he did not even dare to say a word. The powerful Song clan leader who was so powerful in the south more than a hundred years ago that the central court had to compromise was already a phoenix with no hair. chicken"

Longshan's voice paused, his eyes flashed with flames, and he continued, "There are not many who have not experienced large-scale battles in decades. Most of the elite mountain troops who used to fight in the north and south in troubled times now have nothing to fight for." Experienced mountain people filled in, armor Armor weapons were also deteriorating year by year due to the court's deliberate blockade, so that most of the weapons and equipment had not been replaced for more than 20 years. "The Song Mountain Army, which was originally said to be able to shake the mountain dragon, is still How many elites are left?

"On the other hand, our Southwest Long family, although we experienced a splitting incident of the Western Army, was a blessing in disguise. Because of the split, we unexpectedly gained an independent status. In the past thirty or forty years, our Long family has not only truly achieved control over the entire southwest region. comprehensive control, the stronger the foundation, and In addition, the army under his command has been fighting all year round, confronting the powerful countries of the Western Continent all the year round, and receiving a large amount of support from the court. It has become an elite military force capable of conquering and fighting. Is it really possible if we do not take the southern mountains at this time? We have to wait until the court takes over first!"

The family envoy who returned without success had no choice but to go back. Hearing such a result, the family leader Long Yang could only smile bitterly. What else could he say? Longshan was the person in charge of the family's southern line and had great power of self-determination. His seniority is high, and he has great prestige both in the family and in the army. Half of the generals in the army are from the south, and there are not a few who have the blood of mountain people on their hands. We can't really let the entire Southwest Army be divided just because of one Song family member.

Because of this incident, the Song people almost had a military encounter with the Southwest Long family. If the three princes of the grassland hadn't led the grassland army and rushed madly to break through the imperial capital of Central Asia, the Song people and the Southwest Long family would probably have died several times. Thousands of lives will not let this matter rest.

This is Longshan. How could such a person consider compromising?

"That's it. If you keep talking, I'm afraid you won't be able to go back." Lu Su wanted to say something else, but Longshan stopped him with a wave of his hand. The eyes deep in his eyes shone with a chilling luster. The empire is powerful, but this is not Oparo where the imperial army is wreaking havoc. This is the southwest, the southwest of the Long family. For decades, it has been the bridgehead to resist the forces of the Western Continent from entering the Eastern Continent. Back then, the Gauls did If it's not possible, why does the empire think it can do it! I have 150,000 Long family elites in my hands, and if the empire kills them, that means 50,000 to 60,000 people. What can the empire do to fight with my Long family!
