Realm of Power

"How could this happen? The empire is going too far!"

The generals of the Long family all had red eyes, gnashed their teeth, and their bodies were trembling slightly. They had bad tempers and had already cursed. This was a provocation, a naked provocation.

Long Po also stood in front of the rock. His eyes fell on the four big red characters, full of coldness. Looking at the rock, he was obviously thinking more. How did the empire know that he had returned? Moreover, he even grasped the time when he arrived at Fengshan Pass so accurately.

If you want to say this is a coincidence, why is it in Fengshan after hundreds of miles of mountains in the southwest? Anyone who is disrupted in this way will become angry. Don't underestimate these four words. For the Long family who have been running for more than a thousand miles, waiting for a shocking blow to shake the whole of Central Asia,

For me, this is not a blow to the head." Come, immediately send people to the empire camp as quickly as possible and tell the empire that I, Long Po, am not the one who breaks my promise. The agreement signed by the Long Family with him is still valid. Let them send people to take over. Guangmu City! "Long Po took a deep breath, suppressed the inexplicable thoughts in his heart, and waved his hand to the messenger behind him.

As soon as his voice fell, the generals behind him were already in a panic.

"What, Patriarch, that agreement was originally a fake. It was signed with the empire as a last resort because of the crisis in the headquarters. Now that the main force of our army has returned to the southwest, why do we still abide by that agreement! cede the northwest , Yanzhou, Daizhou, even north of Guangmucheng are useless. It was given to the empire in vain. If the news spreads, what reputation will our Long family have? We must not abide by that agreement, otherwise, all the previous efforts of our Long family will be in vain!" The generals looked angry and stood up one by one! Kneeling on the ground, he urged the family leader Long Po not to abide by the humiliating agreement.

There were even those with hot tempers, their eyes wide open, and they drew out their swords angrily and slashed hard at the mountain stone with characters on it. Suddenly, sparks flew and stone chips flew, and the sword blade cut a long line on the surface of the mountain stone. The half-meter deep mark cut off the two words "home" in the four words "welcome home" with a sword.

"What are you doing here? Don't forget that Guanglin's base camp is already under the Song fleet. Now we still have extra strength there to contend with the empire. For the future of the Long family, temporary forbearance is also necessary. "Long Po looked stern and glanced at the generals kneeling in front of him.

"Master, the empire stole my northwest, Yanzhou, and now gives Guangmu City to the empire. How can our Long family face the people of the world? If the empire wants to go to war with us, then fight. When have we, the Long family, been afraid!" The generals' voices were sharp, with a trace of determination and iron blood,

"Yes, head of the family, the head can be cut off and the blood can be shed. Guangmu City must not be given to the empire! It is a real land in the southwest, not the northwest, Yanzhou and other enclaves can compare. Once it is handed over to the empire, it will be equal to It is to hand over our southwest waterway to the empire." Guangmu is located at the hub of the southwest waterway. If it is handed over to the empire, it will definitely be even more powerful! "The generals were getting louder one after another, and Long Po's blood boiled with the loud voices. Guangmu City, you think I, Long Po, don't know the importance of Guangmu City, but if we don't cede it and use the southwest waterway as bait, how can we get the empire to agree? With the ceasefire with the Southwest Long family, I thought that as long as the army returned to support, the agreement would be vetoed on its own. Who knew it would be like this!

"Enough!"

Long Po was also feeling aggrieved and wanted to vomit blood. He had spent so much effort and energy that he even let go of the pride of the head of the Long family and reached a secret agreement with the prairie people. What he wanted was this decisive battle.

I thought everything was under control, but who knew it was already at the end, but I was stabbed in the heart by these four words. I was angry, really angry. My eyes were like knives. I shouted loudly. The generals lowered their heads and dared not look at each other. As the head of the Long family, Long Po has led the Long family to soar into the sky despite adversity. His prestige has already surpassed that of the previous heads of the Long family.

When Long Po saw that the generals did not dare to raise their heads, his expression improved a little. He took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "Do you think I don't know what that agreement means? But what else can I do now, knowing that the empire has engraved these four What does the word mean? This is a provocation! It reminds me of the Long family, In fact, the entire strategy of the Long family and every move of the Long family has never escaped the eyes of the empire. If the Long family wants to renege on the previous secret agreement or launch an attack on the imperial army, then I believe that the military situation of the Long family's return to the army will be immediately It will be delivered to Song Que, who is approaching the Song fleet that is approaching Guanglin.

The generals' faces were stunned, and they all shuddered. At this moment, their backs were already cold and bone-deep. The empire has always sent messages very quickly. According to the empire's ability, this military information was allowed to be sent out before the Long family's army left Fengshan. It is definitely not difficult to appear in the hands of Song Que, the head of the Song clan, within a few hours.

As long as Song Que sees this military information, all the efforts made now will be over. The Song people who are trapped in the southwest battlefield will inevitably evacuate immediately. The Song people have a large fleet as a means of transportation, even if they want to stop it, it will be difficult to do so. It turns out that the Long family spent so much effort, even at the expense of the Wanlong family's local defenders, to achieve this decisive victory.

The Long family army marched southward for more than a thousand miles, and for more than ten days and nights, they continued to attack southward with this tone. There were countless stragglers along the way, and those who could arrive first were naturally the elites of the Long family. The base camp was in crisis, and the Song clan To add insult to injury, the empire is watching eagerly. This series of frustrations has already The whole Long family army was full of fighting spirit, just waiting to burst out and shock the world. In the minds of these Long family elites, the scene of Long family revenge has been repeated countless times, but at this moment, in these four words In front of me, in front of Long Po's roar, everything turned into silence

"Even before we left Fengshan, we were already clearly figured out.

What a shock! With these four words, how can you claim to be a counter-attack?

Put away your pride. You are the generals of the Southwest Long Family. Defeating the enemy is what you need to consider. As for bearing the infamy, it is my responsibility as the head of the family!

Long Po's voice echoed in the ears of the generals, his eyes flashed with a sharp look, and he said coldly, "It's all clear. If you delay here for a moment longer, you will put Guanglin in danger of being conquered. If you still want to When you go back and see your wife, children, and children, immediately mount your horse for me, lead your troops, and drive out of Fengshan immediately."

Hearing Long Po's words, the generals were all ashamed and ashamed. At this moment, they really had no reason to be proud.

In the southwestern land, the headquarters of the Long family, those defenders of the Long family who knew they could not resist, but were still like moths to the flame, were the pride of the Long family. They used their blood to slow down the invasion of the Song people, and helped the army to return. Aid has bought precious time, and there are countless others at this moment The children of the Long family are fighting fiercely in the southwest, still fighting to defend their family. As the Song fleet advances, the beacon fire of the war has burned most of the southwest. The beacon fire has reached the city, and it has caused so much bloodshed and countless lives. Fighting in the withering,

But here I am, just before the last step of rescuing Southwest. What a stupid idea to fight with the empire here for the so-called face.

If you lose the Long family’s face, you can still fight for it back later.

Losing the headquarters of the Long family and the foundation of the Long family's great cause for decades would be the real disaster for the Long family. The generals did not know that the Song people were still blocked at Longyingkou, and they did not dare to delay at all. , immediately drove all the armies out from Fengshan Pass. Soon, 40,000 Long family's main forwards poured out from Fengshan.

"Your Majesty, the Long family army left Fengshan Pass, but it did not move towards Guanglin!" The news brought back by the secret sentry in the direction of Fengshan made the fat man pause for a moment while he was opening the map of the southwest. Yue Shan, who was standing next to him, was slightly stunned and asked in surprise, "Long Po didn't go to Guanglin?"

"Yes, the Long family army from Fengshan did not go south, but to the east!" said the scout who came in to report.

"To the east?" Yue Shan looked confused, and his whole body was stunned. Wasn't Long Po rushing back thousands of miles just to rescue Guang Lin? After finally reaching the southwest edge, instead of immediately rescuing Guanglin, who was in danger, we instead headed eastward. What does this mean? "

"Long Po did the right thing. If it were me, the first goal when arriving in the southwest should be to the east." At this time, the fat man closed the southwest map in his hand, his eyes were cold, and he said lightly, "The gate of the southwest waterway. Li Chang! was Long Po’s original goal! The Song clan went up along the waterway, successfully raided Lichang, and broke through the southwest gate in one fell swoop. Then they went down the river and took advantage of the initiative strategically. At this moment, Longpo did not save Guanglin, but Going straight to Lichang, I also valued the same result." "This time the Song people invaded the southwest, they mainly relied on large fleets as auxiliary tools. Although the Song people's mountain army was fierce, they were not taken seriously by the Long family. If they want to cut off the Song people's retreat, they must use water channels. , recapturing Lichang would be tantamount to completely nailing the large fleet that the Song people were proud of to the southwestern waters. Within the channel, as long as the Song clan is defeated and these Song clan ships that are unable to rush out are collected, the Long family army can move eastward along the river at any time based on the advantage of the southwest waterway in the upper reaches, achieving the goal they have dreamed of for many years and suppressing the Central and Asian courts. ! This kind of good thing that kills two birds with one stone, Long Po will naturally not let it go!

"Your Majesty, are we going to inform the Song Clan?" After hearing the emperor's analysis, Yue Shan couldn't help but gasped and blinked. Compared with the several ups and downs of the Southwest Long Family, at this moment the Song Clan was It's obviously more in the interest of the empire, but he doesn't know what the emperor means.

"No rush, just wait and see"

The fat man curled his lips slightly, waved his hand and said, "It's more than a hundred miles from Fengshan to Lichang. Even if Long Po could fly, it wouldn't be possible to get there in a day. On the contrary, if the Song fleet turns around and goes with the wind and the current, I'm afraid... He could still reach Lichang before Long Po, and Song Que was from the south. The first person naturally knows that Lichang has a life-and-death status for the entire Song army, and there will definitely be heavy troops guarding Lichang. Even if Long Po wants to take a bite, it is not that easy. Now let's see what Long Po is up to! What does the empire’s agreement mean? "

"Your Majesty, are you talking about the secret agreement to cede Guangmu City?" Yue Shan asked cautiously. He also knew that the empire and the Long family signed a secret truce agreement. The Long family had no choice but to cede Guangmu City to the truce. The problem is, Yue Shan I don’t think that this secret agreement is fully realized. The cession of northwest, Yanzhou, and Daizhou, which are far away from the southwest enclaves, is nothing to the dragon level. The burden, but Guangmu City is different. It is a real southwestern city. It is located at the upper end of the north line of the southwest waterway and intersects with the Lichang River leading to Guanglin, the headquarters of the Long family. It is extremely important in strategic position. If it really falls Once it enters the hands of the Empire, the Imperial Navy will have a dock to dock at. It will no longer have to do as before, which can only cross the southwest, but cannot dock at any city or place.

"I have left a message for Long Po and given him a deadline!" The fat man paused and looked outside the military tent with his deep black pupils.

"His Majesty also gave the other party information and deadline?"

Yue Shan's face was stunned. He really didn't know when His Majesty the Emperor sent someone to deliver the news and deadline to Long Po. Long Po's army came back from thousands of miles away, but the Emperor was always within the military tent. There was no contact between the two at all. Doesn't the emperor know any magic tricks?

Suddenly, Yue Shan shuddered and asked in shock, "Your Majesty's message, could it be the words on the stone?"

The fat man smiled noncommittally,

On the contrary, Yue Shan's hair stood up unconsciously. Speaking of which, Yue Shan wrote those words on the stone himself. After all, there is no one in the Imperial Army who can write Chinese and Bian characters and has such good writing skills. It was Yue Shan. When His Majesty the Emperor asked him to leave those words, Yue Shan thought it was just a warning.

Warn the returning Long Family Army that the Empire has been prepared, so that Long Po will not regard the Imperial Army as a target that can be raided at will.

But now that I think about it, the words His Majesty left at Fengshan Pass may seem random, but in fact they have a deep meaning. If Long Po's return to aid is a wonderful one-shot kill, then those words His Majesty the Emperor left behind , the hand that gently holds this fatal gun

Did the Long family defeat the Song clan in the southwest battle and successfully enter the Zhongbia court, taking a crucial step closer to the royal power of Zhongbia? Or did the Long family watch helplessly as the Song clan turned Southwest upside down and did not lose even a hair? With their withdrawal, the Long family in Southwest China became the laughing stock of the whole of Central Asia.

Is it at the top of victory or at the bottom of defeat?

It all lies at the fingertips of the emperor. The absolute initiative in this southwest battle seems to be in the hands of the emperor at this moment. How was this achieved? Yue Shan couldn't figure it out, but he believed that Long Po was so aggrieved that he wanted to vomit blood at this moment. Three hundred thousand Long family troops returned to support him. Just those few words, and he had to obey the empire obediently?

"Your Majesty, the special envoy of Long Po, the head of the Long family, is here! Outside the military tent, the loud report of the guards on duty came... Yue Shan's mind was completely shocked at this moment. The emperor's layout was so unpredictable. !
