↑△小↓△ . .m] "Dang, Dang, Dang, Dang!" The bell towers located at the four outer gates of Guangmu City rang the bells at the same time. The melodious sound spread directly ten miles away. Three rings followed by three more. It lasted for a full ten minutes. If you count carefully, there are seven to forty sounds, implying a tragic and desolate meaning.

The air on the river still seemed very cold and humid, and the mountains and forests in the distance seemed to be glowing with a layer of slightly green air under the sunlight, making them look particularly peaceful. Princess Mingyue took off her boots and socks and placed a pair of white feet in front of her. In the lake water, the skin is as frosty as snow, and the figure is exquisite, noble and elegant. Against the background of the palace skirt, Chen's coolness is even more apparent.

"The death knell was tolling forty in the day. Are the monks in Guangmu so blatantly opposed to the empire now?" The fat man slowly opened his eyes. Under the brilliant eyes, the sparkling lake surface was peaceful under the spring breeze. Expanding before our eyes, the natural simplicity and roughness reveal innocence and beauty. A group of waterfowl are frightened. , flying gracefully across the lake from a distance, rising from the water, full of wild charm of nature. If you don't know others, you may be intoxicated by the beautiful scene in front of you, but Fatty knows very well that in this waterway and lake Downstream, the Long family in the southwest and the Song family in the south are fighting a life and death fight. The water there is red.

Princess Mingyue smiled disapprovingly, "Who said that those who serve the Buddha have no scheming intentions? A Nirvana Zen Temple is already preparing to develop towards the north by relying on the big tree of the empire. The monks in Guangmu City deliberately want to provoke It is understandable that the empire can achieve the result of becoming famous. I dare say that as long as the empire really sends troops to arrest these monks, Even if you just go to give a lecture, I'm afraid that the temple itself will burst into flames before you get to the temple, and several people will die inside. It's best to be a heavyweight like the abbot. Anyway, if the temple burns down, it will happen later. If the whole Guangmu people voluntarily contribute money to rebuild it, the dead people will be supported by the whole Guangmu people to make Buddhas for thousands of families!"

"These monks have six impure roots! Even if they die, it's just a temple. It's not that they can't be repaired! But these monks, I don't know how many people are willing to die." The fat man's eyes were cold, and the murderous intention in his tone caused even the surrounding people to The air is a bit colder

"It's just a few monks. Why should Your Majesty take them seriously?" Princess Mingyue's face changed and she said quickly, her face no longer looking relaxed at all.

"I'm just saying, why are you so nervous!?

The fat man rolled his eyes speechlessly. No matter how bastard the monk in Guangmu was, he rang the six bells to tell the time and knocked out the death knell of seventy, seventy and forty. After all, he was now a citizen of the empire. Could he really He would order the massacre of the city but it would not succeed, and he would sound the death knell on purpose. Except for those who are bullying the empire, foreigners would not be able to hear it. In other words, she is actually deliberately irritating Princess Mingyue, who is willing to be the imperial eagle dog. Once Princess Mingyue is really angry and targets the monk Guangmu, then the monk Guangmu will become famous all over the world. The monks from China and Bibia are really able to use their lives to improve the reputation of their temples!

"Your Majesty, don't get me wrong. I'm just curious. Your Majesty has been here for an hour. Even if the scenery is beautiful enough, you should have seen enough. Is your Majesty also tired of seeing it?"

Princess Mingyue could see from the fat man's face that he would not massacre Guangmu. She finally breathed a sigh of relief and quickly found an opportunity to change the subject. She should have persuaded this murderer away as soon as possible. Others didn't know This honest-looking guy is a murderous guy. Don’t you know it yet?

When we first met in Onnacuo, this guy was killing people. The huge seal of the fifty thousand Wolf Army made him have nightmares for half a year. Later, in the northwest wilderness, he was still killing people. One hundred thousand people from the northwest prairie He was frightened and surrendered. Then in the southwest battle, more than 100,000 Long family troops suffered numerous casualties.

It seems that wherever this guy appears, countless living beings will be annihilated, and corpses will be found all over the place.

Princess Mingyue believed without hesitation that a cold-blooded king like Dead Fatty would never even frown even if he killed the entire Guangmu City.

She heard that in the Western Continent, in a place called Anlusu, Fatty Fatty burned a total of 200,000 people to death with a fire. What kind of Shura scene was that? The whole city turned into a huge oven, and the flames spread across the sky. Empty, the earth is like a furnace, it burned for three days and three nights, even the stones were burned. What are the people inside like? Even Princess Mingyue who has seen the tragic catastrophe of the Imperial Capital with her own eyes has a desire to do it if she thinks about it. urge to vomit

It is said that no one dares to approach that city for fifty miles around. At night, you can hear the violent sound of the wind, a hissing sound, like countless voices shouting "Hot!"

"Haha, I didn't expect that under the confluence of rivers outside Guangmu City, there would be such a lake. I forgot about time for a while. If Your Highness the Princess is tired of seeing it, you can go back first." The fat man curled his lips slightly and looked at Shining brightly, as if embedded in the magnificent starry sky,

"It's just a lake on the left and right. There are not many lakes like this in the southwest. It's just Lin Jing. What's there to see?" Princess Mingyue took her feet out of the water, squinted and smiled. She was born in the Imperial Capital where eight rivers converge. , outside the Imperial Capital, there is a ten-mile Changting River that carries countless prosperity. For a woman who has grown up watching water since she was a child, for this lake, it is peaceful and can be seen.

"Is it peaceful?" The fat man's eyes flashed. Under his gaze, the lake in front of him was not a lake at all, but a vital strategic point that the empire was going to set up in Central Belgium, and even directly radiated to the entire Central Belgium. Asia’s strategic point,

This is an unexpected surprise.

The fat man sighed and said that I only found out by accidentally looking at the topography of the southwest. The rainy season in the southwest is mainly concentrated in spring and summer. When floods surge, it is common for rivers to change course. However, in mountainous areas, disasters caused by river changes often occur. Much smaller than the plain area, Guangmu is a place where several waterways converge in the southwest and north. The river overflows five or six times out of ten years. It can be said that it is an absolutely water-rich place.

And the overflowing water eventually formed this large lake with a radius of seven or eight miles ten miles away from Guangmu City. As long as the southwest rainy season remains unchanged, this lake will only become bigger and bigger. If the imperial fleet can be launched, Coming in, only about ten Imperial Dragon Tooth warships are needed to take advantage of the upper reaches of the river to threaten the Long family's base camp Guanglin at any time.

Such a beautiful lake, which happens to be stuck in the throat waterway of Guangmu, is simply a perfect place for the Imperial Navy.

If you can build this place and make it a strategic stopping point for the navy in the southwest river, it will be equivalent to erecting a military barrier for yourself in the direction of Guangmu. Any military operation that wants to launch against Guangmu will not be allowed. Regardless of the risk of encountering a fierce bombardment by the Imperial Navy fleet

Now you still think that this place is just peaceful enough?

Although the southern mountainous area is a land with crisscrossed waterways, it is not conducive to the operations of the heavily armored Imperial Army, nor is it conducive to the crisscrossing Dongting Iron Cavalry composed of Imperial grassland people. This is a special environment that is enough to cause headaches for other forces. Like a natural barrier formed by nature, even a fat person can This gave me a headache, but now, Fatty discovered that the southwest is a natural battlefield for the Imperial Navy. The humid environment is completely out of consideration for the Imperial Navy. These sails are sailing in the transpiration of sea water all year round. For the imperial sailors who have opened rivets, humidity has long been the norm.

The rapid sound of horse hooves broke the tranquility of the lake. Only an imperial guard wearing a red cloak was galloping from a distance, stirring up smoke and dust.

Two guards officers came up from the emperor's carriage. Soon, a guard officer came to the emperor with an urgent military report. He said with a respectful expression, "Your Majesty, the Song family and the Long family are at a distance from here." The fierce battle on the slopes of Fengmi City, twenty miles away, has been going on for three hours. The Song people have advanced several times. The attack capital was defeated by the Long family, causing heavy losses. The morale of the army was greatly affected. Now even the head of the Song family, Song Que, has personally stepped forward to supervise the battle. Judging from the battle situation, it is unlikely that the Long family army will be able to break through in a short time. It should be able to hold on until the main force arrives and launch a pincer attack on the Song clan! "

"More than ten thousand elites in Longtai Mountain can actually be beaten like this. I'm afraid the Song Clan is truly powerless!" Fatty sighed secretly. Although he had already planned this time, Fatty still hopes that the Song Clan can consume enough energy. The Long family's military strength was unexpected, but the Song family's combat power was so weak. But that's okay. At least as long as the Song family still controls the court, the Yelu family should not need to worry about the south for the time being.

"Give me the order. Since you want to fight, let's do it quickly. Since you have already broken your face, you have to show your real fangs. Otherwise, for Long Po, the invincible general in Central Asia, it will only be the empire." The show of cowardice made them use all their abilities," the fat man said to the guard captain behind him.

"Yes, I understand!" The captain of the Guards got on his horse.

The fat man put his hands behind his back, raised his head and looked at the southern sky, and groaned. The green grass was reflected in the sky, and the breeze was blowing in his face. It was so beautiful and peaceful that it was intoxicating.

Rumble, there was a rumble of the earth, the calm lake surface was shaking in the distance, even the gravel and grass clippings on the ground were shaking. The lake surface that was calm just now was like countless mirrors shattered. , the water birds on the lake flew around in fear,

"This is!"

Princess Mingyue jumped up. This sudden situation was just like before a natural disaster came. It even made her feel wrong. It seemed that because of the fat man's words just now, the earth was about to overturn.

This is absolutely impossible. After seeing the catastrophe of the Imperial Capital and the complete defeat of hundreds of thousands of troops in Central and Bibia, a woman like Princess Mingyue has long since stopped believing in ghosts and gods. However, Princess Mingyue cannot explain what is happening in front of her, such as ,, under her horrified eyes, she could see tens of thousands of grassland Qingqi, carrying bows on their backs, waists Carrying quivers, wolves emerged from the woods near the lake one by one. Like the tide, they rushed towards the south along the river. The horses' hooves rolled up the smoke and dust that went straight into the sky, as if they were rolling up a huge cloud of smoke. The murderous aura in the sky, the long red tassel fluttering on the top of the helmet of the prairie Qingqiu floats in the wind, like a burning flame in the sun,

"The Song clan's march north cannot be a trap set by His Majesty!"

Princess Mingyue seemed to have thought of something, and she exclaimed with a pale face,

"When all the plans are pushed to the limit, when all kinds of situations are taken into account, what really decides everything in the end is war, or who has the bigger fist!" The fat man looked at the trembling body. Princess Mingyue, neither admitting nor denying, said in a solemn voice that the 20,000 elites in Long Taishan were all battle-hardened veterans and were the real backbone of the Long family army. Long Po kept them on the front line of Guangmu, that is Waiting Waiting for the opportunity, as long as the news of Long Po's victory in the southwest is to tear up the agreement and launch a full-scale attack on Guangmu, the empire and the Long family are well aware of this matter. Let you come to Guangmu, in addition to calming the people's hearts. , What’s more, it makes the Long family think that regaining Guangmu is just a snap. Otherwise, how could this powerful general of the Long family dare to ignore Guangmu and go directly to the river to intercept the Song people’s northward movement, exposing his entire back? Give it to us! "

"The mantis stalks the cicada and the oriole follows. You should understand this. Long Taishan's reputation has been known to the world since the first battle in Yanzhou. I don't know how many people want to get rid of him. Even the Yelu family on the grassland , all offered a bonus of one thousand taels of gold, but despite the many assassins, the Long family general was still alive and well.

, and the 20,000 Guanglin troops under Long Taishan have the reputation of Long Po's own army, and are the real Long family family. Don't look at Long Po's 300,000 army, but the Long family warriors who are truly from the Long family, In fact, there are only fifty or sixty thousand people, and Long In Taishan's hands, there are a total of 20,000 people, nearly one-third of the elite of the Long family. If Long Taishan is killed right away, it will not only shock the Long family, but also completely crush Long Po's desire to regain Guangmu, in one fell swoop. Sande, why don’t I do it! "

"Did Your Majesty target the 20,000 elites of Long Taishan from the very beginning?" Princess Mingyue was a woman who had seen strong winds and waves after all. After being slightly shocked, she immediately felt something.

"The other party is always dazzling in front of my eyes. Of course I won't be so stupid that I can't see it!" The fat man grinned before continuing, "If it is a mountain battle, the empire will naturally be unable to do anything with the 20,000 elite members of the Long family, but now , the Song people's northward advance had completely attracted Long Taishan and his elite men to the river. The river tidal flat was exactly where the cavalry attacked. , if you don’t know that if you seize this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, you are no longer an empire. This place is only twenty miles away from the fierce battle. According to the speed of the prairie cavalry, it can be reached within an hour, and there are six dragon ships. With the help of Ya warships, if the Song clan can't hold on, then God is going to destroy the Song clan, which has nothing to do with the empire's failure to rescue them! "
