Realm of Power

In Lichang City, the dark black broken walls are reflected in the setting sun, making it even more desolate. This city that once dominated the southwest waterway has the reputation of being the place where three rivers converge. The Lishan River rushes out from the southwest mountains here. It interacts with the great river in the valley in the northwest to form a new river,

Fengcheng River, Qujiang River with ten rings, nine folds with three ditches, refers to this large river that crosses central China and Libya.

The name of the Flattery Army, which was the largest army in the Central Asian Empire, comes from this Flattery River. It refers to the areas where the Flattery River flows, which are the defense areas of the Flattery Army.

The Zhongbia Empire is already declining, and the original flattering army suffered countless deaths and injuries in a series of defeats. But for this river that has flowed for countless years, this is just the most it has ever seen in the long river of history. It's just a small wave, so the dispute between the Long family and the Song family is also the same?

At this moment, a thin middle-aged man stood at the front of a large ship, staring at the flattering river rolling eastward in front of him. Behind him, there were super large transport ships placed side by side, each one The hull of the ship is like a hill, almost as high as The head of Lichang City is like a giant beast floating on the river, swallowing the sky and bending the earth, with a majestic momentum. The military flags with Song characters clinging to the flagpole in the breeze, showing even more fortitude as if solidified. This is In one fell swoop, they defeated the Song fleet at Lichang at the entrance to the southwest waterway.

Standing on the bow of the boat was the leader of the entire Song clan. He was known as the number one man in the south. He single-handedly led the miraculous attack on Lichang thousands of miles away, allowing the Southern Mountain Army to complete the first attack on the First Battle Army in Central Asia. Song Que, the leader of the Song clan known as the long-cherished wish of the Long Family headquarters,

The river breeze blows on his face, which already has the meaning of spring warmth. Song Que's face is stern, he is wearing a simple green robe, and his temples are already gray, but his style still reveals a convincing momentum. At this moment, in his hands, he is Holding a copy of the military newspaper that was delivered to him, the content on it made him feel a little breathless.

In the Kaishan battle between the Empire and the Long family, although the Long family was not believed to be able to truly fight against the Empire, the Long family had the right time, place, and people in Kaishan this time. The rainy season made the mountain muddy, which meant that the number of attackers increased greatly. difficulty, especially this time the main force of the empire is cavalry who are not good at attacking mountains.

And Kaishan is the place where the Long family has garrisoned all year round. In terms of familiarity with the terrain, no one can compare with the Long family. Coupled with the Kaishan defense line composed of eight-mile wooden walls, if the empire wants to break through, it can only fill this road with human lives. With one mind and one soldier with his life, who can be better than the Long family army that just retreated in humiliation at the gate of Lanzhi City?

Even the empire would probably have to pay a very heavy price to break through Kaishan. It might even suffer a counterattack from the Long family, repeating the humiliation the Long family suffered under Lanzhi City.

but the fact is

The Long family was defeated, and it was a disastrous defeat.

fighting time

One morning!

The battle report only records that the imperial army forced into Mount Kaishan, destroyed the wall with fire, and moved in in groups. After a decisive battle, one hundred thousand Long family troops were defeated and collapsed. The emperor covered up the enemy for more than ten miles along the way, and the Long family army suffered countless casualties.

The above content made Song Que, the number one person in the south, feel his heart tremble. How could this be possible? If he hadn't known that this victory had been confirmed by three Song clan disciples, Song Que would never have believed it. As the leader of the Song clan, he had been entangled with the Long family in the south for decades. Naturally, he had no interest in Long. The combat power of the family army is quite clear.

Since its establishment, the Long family has been a war army, suppressing the south and resisting Gaul. For decades, there have been constant wars. Even in order to make up for the troops, many young men who fled to the southwest were recruited. They are the main officers of the Long family army. The class is still the most powerful group and the group that obeys orders. Dragon The generals of the family are not idlers, but experienced generals who have been able to fight several times in the past two years with the northern Yelu family, which swept hundreds of thousands of troops from the Central and Eastern courts. Such officers The collective is definitely the top gathering in all of China and Bia.

Such a Long family had an advantage even against the Northern Grassland Army. How could it be that they were not even qualified to fight against the Empire!

If the Long family is like this, then the Song family is nothing!

In the past, he only wanted to engulf the southwest and break through the cage that had imprisoned the southern mountains for more than a hundred years. But now, after discovering the powerful combat power of the empire, Song Que, the first man in the south, actually felt a bit cold. , the Long family is destroyed, who is next?

Song Que looked at the rolling flattery rain with complicated eyes, and clenched his fingers. In the land of Zhongbia, who can stop the empire! The Long family, known as the first war army in Central Asia, was defeated so quickly and miserably. It was a 100,000-year-old Long family army, not 100,000 pigs running all over the mountains. Once the imperial army surged in, Entering the southwest and approaching the southern mountains, how can a bunch of scattered southern mountain people compete with the imperial cavalry that just defeated more than 100,000 southwest Long family troops?

"Father, I heard that the Long family was defeated in Kaishan, and there were countless casualties..." A young man with an appearance that was 70% similar to Song Que walked over from the back deck excitedly,

"The Long family has been defeated. Is it worth being so happy?" Song Que looked at the young man who came over, his face was so serious that he almost shed tears, and said seriously, the young man who came over was Song Que's son, Song He, and the whole Song family's son. Young patriarch

"Father, the Long family suffered a tragic defeat. Isn't it a great good thing for our Song clan?" The young man's face was stunned. He didn't know why his old enemy, the Long family, suffered a tragic defeat. His father didn't even have a trace of joy on his face. He was unconvinced. He said, "I heard that many people from the Long family died in Kaishan, and almost all of the Long family's belongings were filled in. Originally, we still needed to be prepared for the main force of the Long family to come back to Kaishan, but we couldn't help it." Instead of keeping most of the force on the Lichang line, they just sent some mountain troops to clear the river and advance slowly. Now that it's better, the main force of the Long family was defeated miserably. The Song army that was pressed on the Lichang line can finally march south in a big way. The distance from Lichang to Longjia Guanglin is only more than a hundred miles. No matter how slow the speed is, it can always be reached in three or four days. Facing a Guanglin whose military strength has been greatly damaged, the main force of our Song clan will not fall in a single fight! "

"After conquering Guanglin, the entire southwest does not belong to our Song clan!"

The young man's words were full of excitement and excitement. He thought he was strategizing, but he didn't realize that Song Que's face had turned faintly blue. As the future home of the Song clan, could it be that such a shallow vision is not enough? It is really useless! If the young man in front of him was not his son, he would have slapped him long ago.

"Song He, I have told you many times that as the future head of the family, you must look far and wide..." Song Que took a deep breath.

"Father, am I wrong?" Song He said without anger.

Song Que's chest was rising and falling, and he asked, "Well, let me ask you, just in terms of combat strength, who is stronger, our Song Clan's Mountain Army or the Long Clan's Army?"

Song He's face changed slightly, "I know what my father meant. Just from the comments of outsiders, they all said that the Long Family Army was the first fighting army in Central and South Africa. But this time when they advanced along the river, those Long Family Army were not the same as mine. The Shan army killed a river of blood! I heard that there were three to four hundred officers of the Long family on the warship of the clan uncle. It seems that this is the case for the Long family army."

Song He paused in his voice, curled his lips slightly with disdain, and said with a contemptuous smile, "The First War Army in China and Bibia is just an exaggeration. Doesn't it just dare to fight with the grassland people? Sancha River, I, the Song people, It’s not like the fleet is so overwhelming that the grassland people don’t dare to go into the river! It seems that the number one in combat power is empty. Only by fighting once can you know who is stronger!

"It's so stupid!"

Song Que couldn't hide the look of disappointment in his eyes, and he almost vomited blood. His son was indeed not destined for great success. If not, how could he have thought of recruiting his second brother's son as his son-in-law?

It sounds like it's also the pain in Song Que's heart

I don’t know why, but he, Song Que, has been famous for a long time. His martial arts and military skills are among the heads of the Song family. He cannot be said to be the first, but he is definitely in the top three. However, he has problems in conceiving offspring. He has one son and three daughters. , no one has inherited the success of their own thoughts and preparations. However, as a subordinate, this kind of character does not matter, but as the leader of the Song clan in the future, such a character will sooner or later lead the Song clan to disaster. Just because of the current situation, he despises the Long family army. , it’s really stupid!

If the Song army was strong enough, would they be suppressed by the Long family for decades?

I have been planning for nearly half a year, from the initial deployment of troops to the north to rescue the court, to the deployment of the family fleet to the Luohe River connected to the southwest river in the name of transportation. During this period, I also made deliberate decisions for the sake of the Pandora Dragon family. The gesture of showing weakness was ultimately due to the Long family They arrogantly started a war with the empire and the grassland people at the same time, and their military strength was completely nailed down on all lines. Only then did they achieve the glorious result of defeating Southwest Lichang in one fell swoop. If it were a head-on battle, the Southern Mountain Army would not be as good as its superior weapons and high morale. The Long family army has no chance to fight!

The question is, who can see this?

Everyone saw that the Long family army was defeated for hundreds of miles. On both sides of the Lichang River, the bodies of the Long family army were lying in the mud. From Lichang to Guanglin, there was only more than a hundred miles. The river was in hand, and the powerful ship was in hand. As long as they push it to Guanglin City in one go and rely on the hull of the ship, they will definitely be able to capture Guanglin in one fell swoop, seize the core of this southwest land, and realize the dream of the mountain people who have been longing to move north for hundreds of years.

This is the current situation that makes Song Que feel a headache. No one has seen it, but he has seen the loneliness and pressure. The fleet has been in Lichang for three full days. If the main force of the Long family is still in Kaishan, Song Que could also use the reason that the main force of the Long family could return at any time to suppress the chaos in the Shan army.

But now that the Long family has been defeated, what else can they use to suppress it?

"Father, everyone wants to ask when the fleet will be able to go south. We are almost getting moldy staying in this shabby place!" Song He said with bright eyes. In his heart, the Long family has already joined forces with Destruction equals the sign. As long as the warships are sailed to Guanglin, this war will be over.

"The river has not been completely cleared yet. Once it is cleared, we can go south!"

Song Que sighed inwardly, hesitated and said, most of the mountain people are upright and quite qualified as soldiers, but as a commander, apart from the children of the Song clan, it is really difficult to find a few suitable ones. Needless to think about it. I also know that if Song He dares to ask such a question to his face, I don’t know how many people are behind him to add fuel to the fire.

"Father, spring has come, and the heavier rainy season will soon cover the mountains. All the tribes are still eager to go back to cultivate. If we delay here for too long, I am afraid that all the tribes will make trouble. Since the Long family army is in Kaishan If we are defeated by the empire, then we might as well march directly to Guanglin. Everyone thinks that my father is wasting the opportunity at this moment. According to the strength of our Song army, will we not be able to attack Guanglin, which has been greatly damaged? "

"You!" Song Que's eyes widened with anger, and he almost fainted from anger. What do you mean by not being able to capture Guanglin! Is the current situation still as simple as attacking Guanglin?

After the emperor defeated Kaishan, the next step must be to enter the southwest.

This means that the strategic lead gained by the Song clan who spent so much effort to raid Lichang City will soon be lost.

Originally it was only the Song family that tore apart the southwest defense line, but now it has become the Song family and the Empire. The Long family is already waiting for death. It doesn't matter when they attack Guanglin. The question is, who dares to fight against tens of thousands of people? With the imperial cavalry looking around, the most important thing is to attack Guanglin with all our strength.

The mountain army of the Song people is mainly composed of southern mountain people. Although the weapons and equipment have been greatly improved since the Song people controlled the Zhongbiao court, their foundation is still the mountain army of various tribes, not a real battle array army. It was difficult to face the Long family whose strength was greatly weakened, let alone the emperor who swept the main force of the Long family in one morning!

Imperial power has been recognized as the best in the world

Whether it was the first time the empire showed its strength in Central Asia, sweeping the Eighth Army of Dongting out of Angnacuo with overwhelming force, or later Yeluguda was beaten and disarmed in the northwest wilderness.

At Qinglong Bay, Song Que saw with his own eyes how the imperial warships shredded the arrogant Aden Navy. In the Battle of Kaishan, the imperial cavalry once again used incredible attacks to defeat a hundred thousand Long family troops. The gap between the armies is not just a little bit. This time, the Song clan has used all the ships at their disposal to allow the Song clan's mountain army, totaling ten thousand, to break into the southwest gate. In terms of military strength and combat power, they have no advantage over the empire.

"Report, Mr. Song Li reported that Longjia Guanglin's army was found at Longyingkou!" At this moment, a guard came up from behind.

"The Long family is approaching the army!" Song Que's expression changed slightly.

"Father, even the Guanglin army has come out. The Long family is really doomed. What is there to fear? If we don't advance southward at this time, I am afraid that the leaders of the various clans will also complain about our Song clan." Song He's face lit up with joy, whatever he thought of came to him! The Guanglin Army, the most elite and final asset of the Long family, is all in front of you, why do you need to hesitate!

"Send the order, the fleet is ready to set off!" Song Que said in a cold voice, his face as if ice had condensed. Such news cannot be stopped. If Guanglin's army is sent out, I am afraid that other mountain tribes will never be able to stop it again. I can't bear it anymore! Breaking through Lichang in the southwest is equivalent to opening the door to the southwest. The mountain people in the southwest who have coveted it for a long time naturally want to conquer the most prosperous Guanglin in one go. Even in private, some mountain people leaders have planned After occupying their respective territories, they are waiting to incorporate large tracts of land into their own territory after conquering the southwest.

This kind of behavior is completely selfish, but Song Que couldn't stop it.

There is nothing wrong with the Song clan being the leader of the mountain people, but it mainly relies on the prestige accumulated by the Song clan over hundreds of years. The mountain people have their own rules, and each tribe and village has its own leader. There is no overly unified The structure of the mountain army will only be attached to the mountain army during war, and the Song people only have leadership rights, but have no power to interfere with the interests of various tribes. Otherwise, how can the Song people, who can control millions of tough mountain people, not Will not be suppressed by just a Southwest Long family

Beijing, China

This city in the world once had the most wealth, the largest population, the most exquisite buildings, and the most bizarre crafts and ideas. It was the pearl of civilization in this era. Even when the Falcon Empire rose in the Western Continent, the most brilliant fireworks in the sky were still there. Rising in the imperial capital,

The imperial capital once had a hundred-mile-long courtyard, with hawthorn trees and clouds like clouds. The blue-grey city wall winds along the city road. For dozens of miles of prosperity, there are people's voices everywhere, crowns and canopies gathering everywhere, rouge flowers everywhere, orioles singing and dancing, even though they have experienced the grassland. The army was burned down, but with the efforts of the Yelu family, some appearance was finally restored.

At this moment, in a courtyard of the Imperial Capital, Yelu Qiyeguang was reviewing an unexpected truce agreement. The Long family requested a truce with the Yelu family! And the conditions look quite exciting

"Your Highness, how should we reply to the Long family?" A confidant of Yelu Qiyeguang reported. "The other party said that as long as the Yelu family is willing to cease the war, the Long family is willing to return Daizhou, Yanzhou, and the northwest land, and promised to return it within five years. , I will never start a war with the Yelu family! I heard below that the Fengtai Ministry has also received a similar agreement. If we don't agree, the Long family will prepare to have a private truce with the Fengtai Ministry. If this is the case, the Fengtai Ministry will definitely become more arrogant and domineering, and other tribes will also become more arrogant and domineering. You won’t take my Yelu family seriously!”

"Haha, the Song tribe has invaded the southwest, and Guang Linchuan is also in danger. Long Po wants to go back, but he didn't forget to light a fire inside my Yelu family before leaving!" Yelu Qiye glanced at the armistice agreement, like a crescent moon The corners of his mouth raised slightly, he smiled coldly, put the armistice agreement on the table, and said firmly to the confidant, "Tell the Long family that our Yelu family does not agree to the armistice!

"Your Highness, what are you...?"

The subordinate was shocked, his face full of disbelief. Since the Long family entered the northwest from the north, and then moved to Yanzhou and Daizhou, the world was shaken wherever they went. The military power was so great that it could be regarded as a heavy blow to the arrogant Yelu family. Especially in the battle of Yanzhou, the young master of the Yelu family, Yelu Guda, died in the battle, and 100,000 Yelu family troops were destroyed in one battle. Not to mention that the Yelu family was seriously injured, the issue of succession almost caused the internal division of the Yelu Group. If Her Royal Highness was not accidentally rescued by the Empire, and if Her Royal Highness had not deliberately leaked some rumors about the marriage agreement between the Yelu family and the Empire, I am afraid that the status of the Yelu family has been replaced by the Fengtai tribe.

"No reason, don't forget, my brother's head is still in his hands!" Yelu Qiyeguang's pretty face was as cold as ice. The blood feud in Yanzhou, will my Yelu family forget it like this? If you want to go back, send Long Po's head and I will let them go back to the southwest! "

A Yelu family servant pushed open the wooden door in front of him and walked in. He glanced hesitantly at the dozen or so Yelu family generals kneeling on the ground, and carefully saluted Yelu Hongtai, who was standing in front of the window and gently wiping a grassland scimitar, and said, "Sir, the young lady refused, and the Long family envoy has left the imperial capital"

"What! Why did your highness refuse! "

As soon as the attendant finished speaking, the generals were furious. If they could agree to the conditions of the Long family, it would be like finding back everything they had lost without any effort, and it would also be like telling the entire Central Asia that the Yelu family was still the master of the entire Yelu Group.

This good thing that was delivered to the door

Any normal person would never refuse it, but Her Royal Highness actually refused it!

It's over. This time the Fengtai tribe must be on a higher level!

Where will my Yelu family go!

The generals were in an uproar and sighed. Only Yelu Hongtai put down his scimitar calmly, with a hint of warmth in his eyes. My cannibalistic Yelu family really has a phoenix! Fengming, when the world is in shock, what does it matter if you refuse? If you can't even withstand this little bit of pressure, what's the point of talking about being the queen of the Yelu Dynasty!
