Realm of Power

Kaishan, where the imperial camp is located, heavy rain also fell around this vast camp, shrouding the camp in mist.

The prairie light cavalry responsible for patrols still went in and out of the camp in the rain. However, due to the influence of the rain, the distance the light cavalry could explore to the southwest in the rain was shortened by at least half. In the past, they could travel fifty or sixty miles. If during the war, If necessary, it can reach seven or eight Ten miles, but now, it is only twenty or thirty miles at most. After all, this is the southern mountainous area. On the map, it looks like the distance of one hand. In reality, it may be the rising and falling mountains and the narrow winding mountain roads. It is completely impossible to Calculate from the straight line distance on the map

During the heavy rain, even the imperial military camp was heavily flooded. There were prairie people everywhere busy draining water. The groom had a sad look on his face as he dried the straw removed from the manger. The fat man ordered dredging around the camp to repair drainage. The ditch barely kept the camp from being soaked in water.

Reports from various grassland ministries indicate that more than 300 grassland people have collapsed due to acclimatization. The rest are also in panic. The most feared thing in combat is the plague. After following the empire for several years, fighting in the south and north, the mountains are not Never encountered it, but This is the first time we have encountered such a tidal area in the southwest. The Dongting tribes who were completely unprepared are now complaining. Therefore, in the rush to go south, the tribes are not well prepared. It is okay if it does not rain, but if it rains, it will be completely Just in a hurry,

This time, the Dongting tribe plus the grassland people in the northwest region have an army of 70,000 to 80,000 people, including nearly 4,000 heavy cavalry, 50,000 to 60,000 various assault light cavalry, and 17,000 auxiliary logistics. Eight thousand people, nearly 100,000 war horses, 30,000 draft horses, and more than 10,000 carts, even if the Lanzhi City area is All included, it occupies a large area, and sixteen or seventeen camps have been set up to accommodate it. The fat man is in the central tent of the largest camp among them. There is a small stove in front of the desk, which is constantly warming. Knowing what to eat, Yue Shan, who came from Yanzhou, stood respectfully in front of the fat man.

"Your Majesty, the Fengtai tribe has been mobilized frequently recently. I don't know why. The Long family not only stopped attacking the Fengtai tribe, but even withdrew from part of the Daizhou area. The Fengtai tribe, which was originally suppressed, has recently started to attack again. became active, and even frequently dispatched reconnaissance cavalry to Yanzhou "

Yue Shan took a deep breath with a solemn expression and said in a solemn voice that Yue Shan did not know the news about the secret truce between the Fengtai tribe and the Long family. He relied entirely on his military sensitivity to sense something was wrong. What he said was unexpected by the fat man. It coincided with each other, and the Long family really colluded with the Fengtai tribe. When the fat man said to Yue Shan, "Your feeling is correct, if I am not wrong, I am afraid that the Long family has secretly joined forces with the Fengtai tribe." Together!"

"This... is absolutely impossible!"

Yue Shan's body trembled slightly, his whole face turned red from suppressing it, and he had a determined expression on his face. How could the Long family unite with the prairie people? That was the Long family. Even if the emperor said it, this kind of thing is really unbelievable. Even if he is Yue Shan, Yue Shan, who hates the Long family deeply, would never want to believe it if he hadn't seen it with his own eyes. ,

Because that's the Long family

With the power of the entire southwest, they fought fiercely with the grassland people for several years, expelled the grassland people from the northwest, killed the butcher Yeluguda in Yanzhou, defeated the Yelu family in Daizhou, and allowed the suppressed Zhongbia to breathe. , the Long family, who saw bright hope in the dark night, is the last backbone of the Central and African soldiers, "Your Majesty, urgent report!"

There was the sound of footsteps outside, and a messenger cavalry was seen running in quickly. He was wet all over, and the rain kept dripping from his body. There were traces of water everywhere he passed. It was obvious that this was the result of running continuously for a long time. I saw this messenger cavalry being relieved from his body He handed the letter bucket to the guard outside the tent. The guard did not dare to delay and immediately sent it in. The fat man took the letter bucket, opened the lid, and took out a red-sealed secret letter from the inside. Yue Shan glanced at the side, and his pupils suddenly turned red. Just tightened it up a bit, the red secret letter represents the military report,

The fat man glanced over, with a sneer at the corner of his mouth, and said, "Long Po is back indeed! Although there was heavy rain in the southwest, the northwest is still dry. After I noticed signs that Long Po was secretly turning around again, I immediately asked Berlant to Bonnie paid close attention to the movements in the northwest edge mountains. Sure enough, just three days after being released, the secret sentry located in the middle of the northwest edge mountains discovered the Long family army secretly advancing southward."

Yue Shan had a dull look on his face and murmured in a low voice, "No way, did An Shao misunderstand and mistook the others for the Long Family Army?"

"If you don't believe it, just take a look!"

The fat man handed the report in his hand to Yue Shan, and Yue Shan came to his senses, took it with a respectful look, and looked at it carefully. His expression suddenly changed. He saw in the military newspaper that the red-armored army was so numerous that it had already It’s impossible to calculate. The march alone was more than three miles long. In one day, three teams passed by, and these might just be the forward troops of the Long family returning south."

The fat man looked at Yue Shan, who was completely stunned, and said, "Because they are afraid of alerting the enemy, the empire has set up hidden sentries only in the middle section, and the middle section is already a relatively wide area of ​​​​the edge of the mountain range. It is conceivable that in the upper section of the mountain range where there are no hidden sentries, , the Long family troops still marching on the rugged mountain road I'm afraid there are more. According to this calculation, most of the more than 300,000 Long family troops who were defeated in the direction of Daizhou have already entered the canyon walkway of the northwest edge mountains. Otherwise, how could there be such a scale? From north to south, With such a scale, who else can there be except Long Po’s 300,000 troops! "

The fat man rolled his eyes and glanced sideways at Yue Shan, "Now do you believe it?"

"I didn't expect that the Long family would..." Yue Shan put down the information with a sad expression on his face. Although he had fallen into the arms of the empire, he was still a Central Asian. How could the Long family unite with the grassland people? Precisely because no one would think like this, seeing this military report now, the scale of the Long family's layout and the ferocity of the returning army made Yue Shan's entire scalp numb. Long Po is indeed worthy of being praised as one of the most powerful warriors in the past century. A peerless general who has never been born before, can even arrange such a ground-breaking counterattack. What would happen if the empire didn't notice? I am afraid that they will be killed by the Long family army from behind, and then hide in the southwest, annihilating the entire Song army, which is only one step away from the Long family's headquarters, in the southwest mountains! It’s so beautiful that it’s simply incomprehensible!

The head of the Long family, Long Po, is extremely talented in military affairs. He has indeed reached the pinnacle of China-Bia strategy. If he hadn't encountered His Majesty the Emperor... "Come here, please order all the troops to retreat to Lanzhi City and garrison there!"

The fat man walked to the door of the military tent, gave orders to the guards, and then said to Yue Shan, "When Long Po returns to the army, Kaishan's imperial army will be the first to bear the brunt. Although according to the combat power of the imperial army, they are not afraid of the three hundred thousand coming back." Long family army, but the empire definitely did not do anything for the Song family If it is necessary to block the gun, let the 300,000 Long family troops rush into the southwest and fight against the Song people. Anyway, the empire has got what it deserves. The Long family has promised to hand over the northwest, Yanzhou, and Daizhou to the empire, and even and the important Guangmu City, they are all officially part of the empire."

"What if Long Po turns around and kills us after defeating the Song clan?"

Yue Shan hesitated for a moment, and finally spoke out his inner worries. The Long family's 300,000-strong army, with the help of its victory over the Song clan, was afraid that the morale of the army would be greatly increased. By then, they would face the defeat of Long twice in Kaishan. The empire of a family may not set off a frenzy of revenge

"Haha, you are overthinking. Long Po is not that stupid!" The fat man laughed and looked at the misty rain outside the military tent. "Although Long Po has 300,000, our empire also has 80,000 Dongting cavalry. The reason for withdrawing The reason why I came to Lanzhi City is because Lanzhi City is backed by the northwest land and has excellent logistical support. There is no need to worry. Soldiers can also be mobilized from various departments in the northwest. Strategically, they are at the strategic angle with Bertrand Bonnie’s Wilderness Legion who entered the Imperial Capital West Road. If the Long family really wants to fight Lanzhi City again, they must not Regardless, if we cannot attack for a long time, we will have to face the flanking attack from Dijing West Road."

The fat man's voice paused, his eyes narrowed into a thin line, and he continued, "As long as Long Po is not so arrogant that he thinks that the Long family, who have just been injured, and the 300,000 reinforcements who have just fought with the Song clan, will be exhausted." If you can have a chance to meet the nearly 200,000 elites of the empire, , then the only thing the Long family can do is to acknowledge all previous agreements with the empire. Otherwise, the empire will not mind joining forces with the Yelu family and the Song family to launch a real annihilation of the Long family in the southwest. What the Song family cannot do, for the Song family! For my empire, it’s not too difficult!”

Yue Shan felt the coldness on his back. Indeed, not to mention more, the southwest river was in the hands of the empire. Now that the floods are soaring, the Song clan's cumbersome transport fleet can even go all the way to the Long family. Ying Guang Lin, the Imperial Dragon Fang battleship with powerful combat power, not to mention, No matter how strong the Long family's Guanglin is, it can only hold on for a while longer in the face of the Imperial Navy's thunder god bombardment. Even according to the Imperial Navy's habit of bombarding cities, it is feared that the entire Guanglin will be directly reduced to rubble. Strong, that is, nothing compared to the empire!

"But before I leave, I want to leave some thoughts for Long Po, otherwise, he really thinks that the empire is not aware of it!" The corner of the fat man's mouth curled up slightly.

It was raining heavily, and on a very vast land connecting the northwest and southwest, between the sky and the earth, you could only see a vast white raindrop that was carried by the strong wind and fell slanting, and a huge mountain range extending down from north to south. Here it begins to merge into the mountains in the southwest,

In the heavy rain, there are wild green leaves, as if the heaven and earth were first created. Under the curtain of rain, groups of red-armored soldiers marched southward in the heavy rain. I don’t know how long I’ve been on the road. It’s like being exhausted under the heavy rain. In the team, more than a dozen Long family generals are standing next to the road, surrounded by a middle-aged general. He is naturally the head of the Long family, Long Po.

Looking at the vast mountains ahead, Long Po's eyes were complex and sharp.

The Song people invaded the southwest, and the empire defeated Kaishan. The Long family's base camp was completely exposed to the military fronts of the two major forces. Longshan's army of hundreds of thousands was actually defeated by the empire's tens of thousands of troops in Kaishan. This It really surprised the middle-aged general, if not, The entire strategy will not be launched hastily. The layout that was originally a sure thing is now probably only able to leave six or seven points. Fortunately, the base camp has stabilized the empire. Otherwise, no matter how fast the speed is, we can only watch helplessly. Watching the brutal mountain army of the Song tribe break through the base camp of Guanglin

"Master, the empire is stationed in Kaishan, which is less than thirty miles away from Fengshan Pass. Why don't our army just fight with the empire?"

A young captain came up from behind and said to Longshan. The young man's name was Brother Long, and he was the leader of the fourth generation of the Long family. In the final battle of Yanzhou, amidst the anxiety, the head of the grassland warrior Yelu Guda was cut off, resulting in The person who collapsed the entire Yelu Army was Brother Long.

"Yes, we will fight against the Empire, and then we will fight against the Song people, all the way! Whoever we fight is not a fight!" The other generals also had the same voice,

"Yes, although the Song people are hateful, but how many people of our Long family have been killed by the empire in Kaishan, can this hatred be settled like this?" The crowd was excited, and the generals were clamoring for revenge. This retreat to the south was really a real one. Unconsciously, the generals of the Long family are all battle-hardened generals. How could they not know that the right time, place and people brought about would be a once-in-a-lifetime strategic opportunity, which was just used to defeat a Song Dynasty. clan, it’s such a pity

Long Po was silent on the horse, with a somewhat hesitant look on his face. Indeed, it was a pity that the fighter plane was wasted like this. Although an agreement had been signed with the empire, this secret agreement was not just a matter of words. So what if there is a text? He is the head of the Long family, and the text is only Longshan's name at most. He said that the secret agreement does not count, so who can say anything? On the contrary, it is what the empire showed in the battle between Lanzhi City and Kaishan. The powerful combat power is what makes Long Po feel afraid. It will always make people feel uncomfortable to have such a powerful neighbor staring covetously.

Just when Long Po was hesitating, the scout captain in front suddenly ran back with a frightened look on his face.

"Master of the family, Fengshan Pass..." The scout captain gasped for air and hesitated for a long time, unable to say anything.

"What's going on!" Long Po's face turned gloomy. Scouts who can serve as the vanguard of the entire army are naturally the best among the best in the army. However, the expression on the scout captain's face in front of him made him have the urge to kick him hard. I can't even explain the situation. How do you act as a scout captain? You hesitated for a long time. If in wartime, the enemy was killed right in front of you!

"Master, please go and see for yourself!" This time, it was not the scout captain, but Long Linhu, the head of the forward army who was responsible for opening the way. This tough guy could face tens of thousands of enemies without changing his expression. His face looked quite ugly at the moment. That feeling made Long Po's heart sink slightly. Could there really be something terrible ahead of him?

"Lead the way!" Longshan waved his hand, and the other generals followed closely. The location of Fengshan Pass gradually came closer. The situation at the pass in front suddenly came into view of Long Po and the generals.

"Hiss!" Suddenly there was a sound of gasping. The Long family generals who had been shouting for revenge on the empire just now looked extremely ugly. There was silence and the collective voice was lost. Even Long Po's eyes were filled with bloodshot eyes. The hand holding the reins of the war horse made a gurgling sound due to excessive exertion.

"Welcome home!"

On a rock near the mountain pass, the outer skin had obviously been scraped off by humans, revealing a flat piece with four big characters written in red paint. These four characters made the whole Long family feel as if they were being beaten by ten thousand horses. I stepped on it and passed by. The excitement just now was long gone.

Who wrote this! Who else can leave such a mark on Fengshan, the Empire! Welcome your sister home!
