Realm of Power

Since Linhang was defeated, the Zhongbia court moved to the southern city and settled in it.

Settlement is located on the Baihe River in the lower reaches of the southern river, next to Jingbo Lake in the south, surrounded by the remnants of Baishan Mountain, and facing water on three sides. It is built on an open alluvial plain with fertile land, and is mainly engaged in agriculture, with animal husbandry as a subsidiary. The rice produced in Xiangxiang is regarded as the best rice. Another special feature is that all the hot spring water flows in the city, so there are stone canals with large amounts of clear water. Whether you are washing or playing in the water, it is warm, pleasant and full of fun.

During the heyday of Zhongbia, the winter palace of the emperor of Zhongbia was located. The layout of the city was also similar to that of the Zhongbia Imperial Palace. Although it was only a quarter of the size of the original imperial capital, the inner and outer city still had three floors and ten buildings. There are three city gates in the north and south, and two in the east and west. A central street divides the city into left and right halves. Of course, it is also called Zhuque Street, which leads directly to the south gate of the inner and outer city.

When the Imperial Capital was destroyed, Long Yang, the former head of the Long family, once proposed to the court to move to the Imperial Capital. However, how could it be possible for the ministers who had lost their belongings and families in the Imperial Capital to do so? They still expected to fight back to the Imperial Capital. Counting on those fields and property, now Long Yang, as the number one general in China and Libya, can actually After saying such words, a group of people immediately surrounded Long Yang and scolded him for being greedy for life and fearful of death and unwilling to make progress. Finally, he forced the frightened emperor to choose the location of the main waterway of the great southern river. Linhang was the imperial capital, and Long Yang, out of shame, chose to sit in Yanzhou to prove his innocence.

According to Long Po's view, if he can't win in the first place, he should find a safe place to reestablish the capital and accumulate strength again. This is not the first time that the grassland people have gone south to wreak havoc. For thousands of years, the Central Asians and the grassland people have been fighting brutally. It has never stopped. At its most glorious moment, the Golden Family of the Prairie, which was also fought in China and Bia, finally chose to separate and take refuge.

Similarly, when the grassland people were at their most powerful, they also plundered half of the mountains and rivers in Central and Northern Asia. However, no matter how hard they fought, the grassland people would eventually return to the grassland, because the grassland people had always been independent in their own affairs, and the tribes only valued interests and mutual interests. Fighting situations abound, the best way to deal with the prairie people is The method is not to fight them, but to encourage the grassland people to fight among themselves. The grassland people have been wreaking havoc for more than twenty years. Compared with the thousands of years, it is a blink of an eye, but this group of civil servants is like this You are so short-sighted that you really think you can defeat the prairie people with fast horses and long bows just by relying on your strength and arrogance?

The result was that Yanzhou was defeated and Linhang was defeated again. Hundreds of thousands of people died under the hooves of horses on the grassland. Almost most of the ministers who had scolded the most harshly at the beginning died. A group of civil servants who did not understand military affairs guided them. The whole empire deserves to die!

He, Long Po, wanted to stand here and stare at every so-called important minister of China and Bia who walked in from the door of the hall. He just wanted to tell these people that he was a guard dog of China and Bia, the hand. man with sword

In the main hall of the Zhongbia court, in the early morning, there still seemed to be faint thunder in the sky.

Long Po was dressed in a purple-red robe. He stood on the steps in front of the main hall, staring at the outline of the mountains and rivers stretching to the north. He had been looking solemn for an hour. The lights from the gate in front of the palace shone on the number one in Central and Eastern Asia from a distance. The famous general's figure is as tall and straight as a sharp sword at this moment. Although his figure is not burly, he has the aura of an important general like a mountain and a deep abyss, shrouding the entire main hall like a layer of black shadow.

In the Battle of Southwest, he made a miraculous return to the army and defeated his rival Song clan in one fell swoop. After that, 200,000 Long family troops entered the court. No matter how unwilling the Song clan was, they had no choice but to surrender their power and hide in the southern mountains. He never dared to come out again. Taking advantage of the silence of the ministers of the court, Long Po once again reorganized the army with thunderous means, ordering to disrupt the formation of the only army under the imperial court, the Flattery Army, and merge it into the Long Family.

"This kind of thing is absolutely not possible. The Long family is just a local army, and the Flattery Army has been the Central Army under the imperial command for decades. Although the two armies belonged to the same Western Army camp decades ago, they have been separated for decades. "Only the Central Army can integrate the local army. How can the local army integrate the Central Army?" Zhuang Long, the great scholar, was the first to stand up at the meeting. came to express his opposition. Zhuang Long was the former emperor's master and a leader among the civil servants. Although Long Po was angry, he couldn't take action directly. The imperial meeting had just ended and Zhuang Long was transferred from the court to the south with an order. Chang Yue served as the local magistrate of the small town. On the second day of the order, Zhuang Long had not even walked out of the city gate. The second order was delivered to Zhuang Long.

When the news came out that "Zhuang Long, as the deputy envoy of the China-Bia envoy, accompanied the envoy Li Long to the north of the river", there was an uproar, and the civil servants were even more sad. Although they knew that Long Po was going to attack the civil servants, they did not expect it. To be so impatient, so naked to borrow a knife to kill someone, this order, and directly There is no difference between executing Zhuang Long. In the north of the river, either the imperial forces or the grassland forces are the chosen opponents for the Long family to go to war. At this time, being an envoy is no different from sending meat into the mouth of a wolf. As long as When the Long family goes to war, Zhuang Long and Li Long are afraid that they will be beheaded by each other immediately.

With Zhuang Long's fate in sight, Long Po ordered the merger of the Flattery Army and the Long Family Army. No one dared to stop him anymore.

Later, Long Po used this integration to collectively raise the family rank of the entire military minister class by two ranks. Many flattering army officers who were originally middle- and lower-level officers were suddenly promoted to the position of commander. Such a series of After defeating them with such tactics, the Flattery Army is now recognized as the lackeys of the Long family, and the status of the civil servants is even more unbearable. This has completely established the pattern of military ministers suppressing civil servants.

Outside the court, Long Po knew that those civil servants who dared not say anything to their faces but cursed behind their backs were probably ready to pull out their own bones and convulse themselves, but he, Long Po, didn't care. These civil servants were just talking. Courage, if in the face of life and death, each of them is just like sifting chaff, can we still expect these people to compete with the grassland people in the north and the empire in the west?

Among these civil servants who fight for power and gain in the court all day long, some of them really care about the fate of China and Bia. They all want to cover their eyes and cover their ears. They only want wealth and honor, and they only want to live in a dream. Who can I will go and see what this world has become!

To the north, the grassland people have accounted for one-half of Zhongbia. To the north of the great river, countless Zhongbia people are driven like dogs by the grassland people. To the west, the empire is eyeing it, annexing the northwest, and marching into Yanzhou. The imperial merchants are The tentacles of interests have even reached the settlement in front of them. In the Battle of Southwest, the empire used troops twice, and the suppressed Long family kicked Out of breath, to the south, the Song people shrank after being severely damaged. After giving up all ambitions to the north, they have begun to fully manage the southern mountains. It seems to be showing weakness, but it is a rare place to recuperate in this troubled world. Ten years later, If the overall situation in Zhongbia is determined, the Song people will inevitably move northward again to compete for the ownership of this land.

However, within China and Bia, there are conflicts with each other. Local clans, those who station troops, those who make money, and those who make money, collude with each other, and a vague interest alliance has been formed to compete with the central government. The family system has continued for thousands of years. With the two The imperial capital was destroyed, and countless high-ranking families were destroyed and collapsed. Especially those in Linhang were destroyed. In this winter, how many wealthy families were overturned in one night, and how many people fled south in panic, and how many people died of hunger and freezing. As long as they could afford money and food, a noble lady of the second or third grade could become an ordinary servant. The prestige of the family's cousin's family has collapsed, and the order of rule has disappeared. Even the Song clan has begun to sell women.

This is the current situation of Zhongbia. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a piece of fat under the gaze of wolves. If it were not for the rise of the Long family, the country of Zhongbia would have been owned by the grassland people.

"Dang Dang Dang" the sound of morning drums and bells spreads throughout the city

"Cluck!" The door of the palace in the distance began to slowly open, and the ministers gathered outside began to pour in.

Their figures looked so small and humble against the twelve carved basalt pillars in the corridor of the palace gate. The east wind sky in the distance showed a faint red color. When the wind blew over, Long Po looked in his eyes. Only in Long Po's heart could he understand what he was seeing. That's the blood rolling in,

The Yelu family and the empire have joined forces. At this moment, without a tyrannical figure with a sharp sword in his hand to cut through the thorns and thorns, he can immediately block the river and block the scorching iron flow. He can only watch the land of Zhongbia, which has been prosperous for thousands of years, fall into a doomsday of disintegration. among

This time...it's not a joke!

Look to the northern sky. In his heart, he only felt trembling. Compared to others, Long Po believed that no one could understand the terror of the military god emperor better than himself. During this great court meeting, Zhongbia would make a call for the Northern Expedition. That was The 300,000-strong Central Asian army was already waiting in the south of the river, and the Long family's military flag clanked in the thunderstorm and summer wind.

If Zhongbia does not show enough strength, the emperor will inevitably push the Yelu family to go south again and complete the conquest of the entire Zhongbia.

Daizhou, Fengtai headquarters

The fierce fighting had lasted for three hours. Flames were burning in the camp, human blood was flowing on the ground, and the ground was dyed crimson. Arrows with flames in the sky kept streaking across. The light and darkness on the riverside faded. The corpses stretched out, and two groups of cavalry, also wearing Fengtai cavalry armor, were like two rolling dragons entangled with each other, roaring and slashing,

"Beng Beng Beng" "The bow string kept making bursts of trembling sounds like cracking. Countless accurate and sharp arrow clusters just drew beautiful and fast white shadows, crossing the short distance between the two sides, with extremely powerful penetrating power. cum effortlessly Entering the body of the cavalry, the tumbling swords of the two armies were illuminated by the firelight, like meteors flashing across the night sky. There was a fierce sound of metal collision. Countless figures rolled down from the horses and were killed by the sword light. Trampled by horse hooves

If you have a pair of eyes looking down from the sky now, you can see countless canines fighting inside and outside the camp. The fire burned the woods outside the camp, making a crackling sound in the wind, but the scene in front of you fell into Mongolia's angry eyes. Here, there is no excitement at all. Father and son are fighting. No matter which side wins, I'm afraid there won't be much happiness.

Of course he knew the laws of the grassland. Although he knew that such a day would come sooner or later, Mongolia did not expect it to come so early. He originally thought that his father, Mongolia Tielie, had only transferred back 10,000 cavalry, and he was also preparing to come with 15,000. Riding, everything seems to be enough, but unexpectedly, the five thousand captains under his command rebelled collectively and joined the Mongolian Iron Rebellion. As a result, the originally stable layout was suddenly reversed. The rebellion of the five thousand captains had a profound impact on the situation. The blow of the Mongolian and Roman troops is self-evident.

"Whoever catches Mongolia will be made a captain of ten thousand men!"

"Whoever kills Mongolia will be made a captain of a thousand men!" Shouts from the battlefield continued to be carried by the wind.

"Mongollo, your warriors look very bad."

A prairie girl wearing mail armor galloped over and stopped the horse in front of Mongolia. She was wearing light blue body armor, and her black hair was woven into two straight and lively long braids, with two strands hanging from her little ears. The long earrings and the pearl necklace around the slender neck are full of the scorching youth of the prairie people.

"You came later than promised," Mongolia said with a dissatisfied look.

"The prerequisite for compliance is that you must be strong enough. I heard that five of your captains joined your father's side. It's really embarrassing! The hunters who were supposed to ambush have become the prey of an ambush!" The girl did not think so. He rolled his eyes in surprise. Behind the girl, a mass of black prairie cavalry stood still, reflecting in the firelight of the camp like a black shadow that covered the sky and the earth.

"Shut up, you are a hunter. This is just a fight between our Fengtai tribe, and it is not the turn of outsiders to judge!" Mongolia said with a livid face and a heavy nose.

Looking at Mongolia's ferocious and somewhat deformed face, the girl felt a little scared. She curled her lips slightly, "But it's not a problem now. I have brought 20,000 cavalrymen from Chagtai. If you really If you can’t make up your mind, let me do it!”

"I killed Mongolia Tielie, will you really marry me?" Mongolia took a deep breath and asked instead of answering the girl's words, his eyes shining with bloodthirsty luster in the cross forehead helmet. , the internal fighting in the Fengtai tribe has reached the final moment, and the cavalry on both sides are already exhausted from fighting. If the 20,000 fresh troops from the Chagtai tribe are injected, the entire battle situation will change. Mongolian Tielie probably did not expect it. , our association also arranged a support force to deal with possible accidents.

"Fifty thousand cavalry are waiting for the real golden family to drive them south. I, Chagli, even betrayed the marriage of the Yelu family for your Mongolia. What do you mean by saying this now!"

The girl's pretty face turned pale with anger. There can only be one wolf king in a wolf pack. You should know this! If you want to become the Golden Khan, you must become the master of the Fengtai tribe. And your father is still in his prime. You don't have time to wait. Since it was the other party who made the first move, what do you need to hesitate about? Kill him. Mongolian Tielie, you are the leader of the Fengtai tribe, the future clan leader of each Taiwan tribe, and the future golden khan of the entire grassland! "8
