Realm of Power

At the end of autumn, the weather has gradually turned cooler. Even on Dijing West Road, there are large tracts of yellow leaves, rustling in the long and desert autumn wind. This is a sign of the coming winter. In the North Grassland, all parts of the grassland are related to the cold. The local war follows The weather that had already begun to snow has entered a period of calm. The winter on the grassland is enough to freeze the armor and skin together. Even the grassland people who endure the cold and fight hard have to choose a truce in winter. The wind and snow from the north are approaching. Zhou Qun Shan , according to reports from Yanzhou, the temperature in the prairie is already minus ten degrees, and even worse in the north. In previous years, snow flakes would only be seen after October, but this year they were only seen in September. Even Yanzhou guard Yueshan felt that This is a rare sight that can only be seen in a hundred years. I hurriedly came to Dijing West Road to ask for an audience with the emperor, and at the same time applied for the allocation of more winter supplies." Dijing West Road has just experienced turmoil, business has declined, and it is also a gap, so Yanzhou still has to find a solution on its own. solve"

The fat man put down the report in his hand and rolled his eyes at the imperial governor Yue Shan who came from Yanzhou. This guy really dared to come to him and cry for poverty. He said he wanted to repair the Yanzhou barrier two months ago and took it away from him. One million gold, but Yan The state barrier was not fully repaired. On the contrary, Yanzhou, which was already empty of population, had an additional population of more than 30,000 people out of thin air. It was said that repairing the Yanzhou barrier required labor. I was in the south at the time, so I didn't pursue it too much. Who knew that only one had passed by? In a month, the population of 30,000 has turned into 50,000. Now it is good, 80,000 have come out. Thinking that one million of the empire gold has been turned into a population by this guy, the fat man can't help but feel sad. Now this guy is still... He shamelessly said in front of himself that he would allocate enough food and materials for 300,000 people to survive the winter. He really pretended that he knew nothing. "Your Majesty, Yanzhou is not like other places. There is almost no place for cultivation, and now it has been It’s September, and it’s too late even to plant seeds.”

Yue Shan had a grimace on his face. He also knew that it was impossible to hide the use of military expenditures to buy people from the emperor, but he did not regret it. When the grassland army defeated Yanzhou, 300,000 Yanzhou soldiers died or fled. Tens of thousands of people were captured by the grassland people. These Yanzhou people were all turned into slaves, and they were turned into slaves by themselves. They should have bought it back from the grassland people, but only after buying it back they discovered that the food needed by the tens of thousands of people suddenly increased this winter would be a big problem, because most of the northern part of Central and Bibia was occupied by the grassland people. Prairie people do not grow food. After more than a year, the fields have There is a lot of wild grass. If you want to buy grain, you can only go to central and southern China. The incident on the Imperial West Road that happened some time ago directly frightened the Kumi clan who controlled the northern trade route, causing the northward trade route to be blocked. All have been temporarily suspended. Now even if Yueshan wants to buy grain, he cannot transport it to Yanzhou. There is a way to rely on the military, but to use the military line, the emperor's consent must be required. Bite the bullet, Yue Shan has no choice but to come to the emperor and ask for food rations for 300,000 people. It is nothing more than trying to divert the emperor. Attention, even if the emperor reduces the ration to one-third, the entire Yanzhou will be saved.

The fat man asked Yue Shan about the situation in the North Grassland. He knew that although there were still small-scale wars in the North Grassland, a three-legged situation was already vaguely formed. On the one hand, the people from the cold areas who had moved in from the cold areas had already established a foothold in the north of the grassland. , on the other hand, without the pressure of Wang Ting The various ministries in the northern grassland under the control of the Han Dynasty formed an alliance to resist the cold people, but the third party was the empire, which had already said that it would not interfere in grassland affairs. Within a hundred miles north of Yanzhou, both the cold people and the grassland people maintained a tacit understanding. Avoid, because this is the area of ​​influence of the empire, this is There is no need to disclose the reality. Although the empire has clearly stated that it will not interfere in the struggle for the prairie, no one is stupid enough to think that the extremely powerful empire will let others sleep beside them, stay away from the empire, and cherish life. This is true regardless of the cold land. It is a consensus recognized by both humans and prairie people. Because both sides deliberately avoided it, this area has become the most prosperous trade area in the southern part of the North Grassland. Businessmen from the cold areas, grassland businessmen, imperial businessmen, and Dongbo people all gather in this area. "Since there are With such advantages, why not integrate them?"

The fat man rolled his eyes and stared at Yue Shan. Thinking of the background of the other Yanzhou native, he couldn't help but feel a little stirring in his heart. Although the Dijing West Road was cleaned, three of the four major forces were uprooted. Take back control, but get away The Kumi clan still controls the trade routes to the north, and the trade routes to the north are the top priority of the empire's trade routes in Central Asia. The fat man was still a little troubled at first, but now he sees Yue Mountain and thinks of Yan. Yanzhou is the choke point to the north, and the trade route to the north must pass through Yanzhou. , couldn't help but grinned, "I can't give you food, but I can point out a clear path for you. The caravan going from the Central Biya area to the grassland must pass through Yanzhou, and when I was in the north of Yanzhou, I saw people from the grassland. You have set up a market yourself. Since you have taken advantage of Yanzhou, Why don't you know how to set up a market? Now the battle between the North Grassland and the cold people is in full swing, and the Yelu Palace is also attacking Dongbo. No matter which side is in need of large quantities of supplies, you are standing on Baoshan but you don't recognize them. , come here to call me poor, can you blame others?

Yue Shan's eyes widened when he heard this. He is a soldier, not a businessman, but he once presided over Yue Valley when he fled to the northern wilderness. After the emperor's instructions, he suddenly felt enlightened and sighed deeply. " What Your Majesty is saying is that I, Yue Shan, am indeed standing on top of the Treasure Mountain without even knowing it. People have always thought that Yanzhou is barren, but they did not expect that Yanzhou is also the throat passage between Central Asia and the North Grassland. This unique geographical advantage is itself the largest capital of Yanzhou. If a trade bazaar is established in Yanzhou, it will definitely be able to A lot of money was made from the caravans, and the winter food for tens of thousands of people was really worth it. "It's nothing." "In that case, let's go back early and pay more attention to the north this winter." In response to Yue Shan's request for the allocation of supplies, the fat man turned it into an authorization to allow Yue Shan to open a collection in Yanzhou North in a few words. , which means that although the empire did not finally regain the trade route to the north, it With the control of Yanzhou North, more than half of the northward trade routes can be considered to be under the control of the empire. Yanzhou, a thousand-year barrier, will become the largest trade distribution center in northern China, and a large number of goods and weapons from the empire will be transferred from the empire. Here it flows into the prairie, and a large number of cattle, sheep, livestock and horses flow from the prairie into the Dijing West Road area.

Yue Shan was sent away, but troubles came one after another. I thought that Yelu Qiyeguang would not return until the end of September, but who knew that it was only the first ten days of September, and Yelu Qiyeguang came back radiantly. The Battle of the North Grassland , defeated Beiwangting in one fell swoop. The queen of Yelu Wangting proved the power of the Yelu family to the entire world, realized the Yelu family's counterattack against Beiwangting, and then launched an attack on Dongfang. The advancement of the Bo region also resulted in the overwhelming defeat of the Dongbo people, forcing the Dongbo royal family to come forward to negotiate. After all, the grassland people respected the strong. Yelu Qiyeguang proved that he was the leader of the grassland with a series of victories. The strongest, even Yelu Hongtai personally went out of the city fifty miles to greet him, and Yelu Qiyeguang's reputation reached its peak. "How does it feel like the mountains collapse and the earth cracks?"

The fat man looked at Queen Yelu who was dressed in dusty clothes with a funny look on his face.

"What nonsense are you talking about? Even your Majesty should maintain a certain degree of awe for Changshengtian." Yelu Qiyeguang's pretty face was extremely serious, with a trace of horror flashing in his eyes and a look of distress on his face.

Don't look at Yelu Qiyeguang's face as he returned with great victory and overwhelming momentum. In fact, according to Dongbo's intelligence, Yelu Qiyeguang was frightened back. The earthquake in Dongbo area spread over a hundred miles. It's so bad. The time of immortality is exactly the moment before Yelu's army is about to capture Linggu Mountain, the important town of Dongbo. Since Linggu Mountain has the word "mountain" in its name, it is enough to show that this important town is built on the mountain. Yelu Qiyeguang is already here. important town area After three days of fierce attack, five thousand-man troops were lost before the outer wall of Linggu Mountain was breached. It was the most tragic battle after the attack on Dongbo. Who knew that at the moment when the attack was about to be taken, an earthquake would occur. The mountain shakes, huge The cracks spread out on Linggu Mountain like a spider web. Half of Linggu Mountain collapsed as if it had been hollowed out. Not only were all the Dongbo defenders buried inside, but also the Yelu family who attacked the mountain were buried. thousands of people,

This scene scared all the Yelu troops to death. Even Yelu Qiyeguang was dumbfounded. Prairie people believed in gods. The earthquake naturally changed their eyes to the anger of the mountain gods, and they hurriedly withdrew from Linggu Mountain.

"Your Highness, this is the will of Changshengtian to warn us."

"We can no longer fight, the Changsheng Heaven is angry." Various rumors spread, and the morale of the Yelu army was completely exhausted. The increasingly cold weather made the Yelu family no longer able to attack the mountains. From the moment they mobilized to march north to the prairie to now , three months have passed, and the army is already exhausted from fighting against the Northern Grassland Royal Court. The strategy for Dongbo After suffering numerous battle losses, they finally managed to reach Linggu Mountain in one go. However, they encountered the wrath of the mountain god and the army was distracted. Yelu Qiyeguang could only temporarily return the army to the Imperial Capital area for repairs. The first thing he did when he came back was Just find the fat man. Who is the fat man who claims to be the eternal walker on the ground?

"Have I really incurred the displeasure of Changshengtian? In the final analysis, I am just a Dongbo person, but I defeated the Northern Royal Court, destroyed the Royal Court, and even announced that I would never establish a Royal Court again..."

Yelu Qiyeguang's big eyes flashed with a rare hint of panic. Her pitiful look made people feel distressed. It could be seen that the Kingdom of Destruction still put a lot of pressure on her heart. After all, the King The court system has lasted for thousands of years in the northern grassland. It was already like a kind of sacred thing, but now it was extinguished by myself.

"Since Changshengtian allowed you to defeat Beiwangting, then you are Changshengtian's choice."

The fat man lifted Yelu Qiyeguang's white chin and said in a deep voice. Explaining to the grassland people what the crustal movement is is simply asking for trouble. Yelu Qiyeguang grew up in the grassland, and his devotion to Changshengtian has been deeply rooted in his bones.

"Then why did that happen? You know what a terrible scene it was. The whole mountain collapsed, the earth cracked, and the river flowed backwards... I even felt that the sky was shaking," Yelu Qiyeguang said about the scene that day. , asked with shortness of breath, "The earth cracked, the sky shook, the land of Dongbo The big change is a sign of Dongbo changing his ownership. You should be happy! "As for Fatty, he can be nominated for awards even if he is not a movie star. He can use it to deceive Yelu Qiyeguang!" After using it, sure enough, under the guidance of the fat man, Yelu Qiyeguang's eyes finally regained some consciousness. He hesitated and gritted his teeth. "Your Majesty, you mean, this is not a bad omen, but a good omen?" "Of course it is a good omen, and it is a very good omen!" The fat man tried his best to hold back a smile. "Haha, I knew it, the longevity god You won’t blame me. I’m such a good person, and I’ve always been tolerant towards others. The thing itself was not done by me. If Chang Sheng is innocent, he should be held accountable, and he should find that person to deal with it." Yelu Qiyeguang's face bloomed with a smile, and he prayed to Chang Sheng Heaven repeatedly. Hearing this, the fat man almost fainted. This kind of murderer also has A face means being kind to others. What is immortality and innocence? We need to investigate, and we need to find that person! Just when he was about to refute a few words, he saw Yelu Qiyeguang looking at him with a mischievous expression. Fatty suddenly felt bad and coughed quickly, "Oh, I remembered that I have to go to the Imperial Bank today, so I won't accompany you here." ""Your Majesty is going to the Imperial Bank. That's just right. I'm going too." Yelu Qiyeguang's eyes were bright, and he quickly took out a stack of papers from his tall chest and said shyly. Zhang Mei's dazzling smile came up to her, and her soft and warm beauty and confidant rushed into the fat man's nose. The fat man didn't know what was written on the stack of papers. He only heard a voice like a silver bell and laughed, "Since your majesty has You think my Yelu family is the future master of Dongbo, so please help me handle this." "What is this?" The fat man stared, but it could scare Yelu Qiyeguang.

"Of course it's a loan. In order to win over the cooperation of various ministries, our Yelu family has exhausted all our family resources by moving north. We originally wanted to get some back from the east, but we encountered the wrath of the Changsheng Heaven. As the suzerain, shouldn't we help a little?" Yelu Qiyeguang glanced at him, pursed his lips and smiled, "My Yelu family is willing to use 60% of the Dongbo royal family's property as collateral to borrow two million imperial gold from the Imperial Bank." "Dongbo royal family?" The fat man took a deep breath. Tone "you guys" Have you captured the capital of the Dongbo royal family? ""No, but believe me, it won't be long, and the empire will definitely not lose!" Yelu Qiyeguang's pretty face blushed slightly, and she said with a sweet smile, "As far as I know, it won't take long. As you know, the Dongbo royal family controls the largest gold mine in Dongbo. Over the past hundreds of years, the royal family's wealth has been astonishing. This is like a bet. Two million imperial gold bet 60% of the Dongbo royal family. Wealth, were it not for the fact that I urgently needed funds to purchase I want to take away 80% of the food and supplies for the winter battle, just two million gold. Don't even think about it. "You can think of this method. I really underestimate you!" Fatty's eyes flickered! Looking at Yelu Qiyeguang, isn't this the war loan of the capital giants of later generations? Even the Imperial Bank has not opened this business, and it can actually make this woman think about "loan or not, please be happy" Yelu Qiyeguang... With a stubborn face, "Two million gold is impossible," A poor place like Dongbo is worth a million gold, and I want to send people to accompany the army to supervise. I want 80% of the royal family's property and 50% of the gold mine. "The fat man took the documents Juan sighed and said, she is indeed a smart woman. If the Dongbo royal family is really so rich and has gold mines, the consequences of the Yelu family taking it all will be serious. On the contrary, it will drag the empire down and everyone will benefit. , is the long-lasting way for the Yelu family
