Chapter Sixty-Nine: The Passing Year Is Unfavorable
Just when Han Yue stepped into the mysterious Ten Thousand Bone Forest for trial, the always calm Vertical and Horizontal Continent was also quietly changing, and there was frequent friction between countries, and even soldiers met each other. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
And the most sensational thing recently is that Lulu State united with several small countries such as Qianliu Kingdom, Liubai Kingdom, and Wue Kingdom adjacent to the border of Hai State to attack Moyang City, the border city of Hai State.
Because of the discovery of a gem mine in Qingcang Mountain between Lulu and Haiguo, they originally had a lot of this ore, but since a few years ago, Meng Xia Guo began to buy and make them a variety of jeweled hairpin ring jewelry, selling it to famous ladies, and gradually this kind of jewelry became popular.
Not only has it become a necessary tribute for all countries every year, but even the ladies and ladies of wealthy merchants with a little money have to buy some to decorate the faΓ§ade every year, and gradually this ore is more valuable than gold.
However, the production method of this ore has always been monopolized by the Mengxia Kingdom, and they cannot and can only sell it to Mengxia at a low price, for which all countries grit their teeth and hate the Mengxia Kingdom. The gemstone merchants of Mengxia Kingdom in various countries have been suppressed many times.
Meng Xia Guo may feel that he has earned enough, or perhaps because of the pressure of various countries, he suddenly announced this year that he would contribute gem making methods to various countries. At one time, all countries were digging vigorously to explore gem mines in their own countries, but most of this ore was distributed in the sea country and its surrounding mountains, and because of the power of the sea country, it could only be greedy.
Only a few countries adjacent to the sea state are ready to move, and in the face of huge interests, they have disregarded the disparity in strength, especially the warlike Lulu country.
It was also a coincidence that the armies of the Hai Kingdom and the Lu Lu Kingdom discovered the gem vein in Qingcang Mountain at the same time, and they did not give in to each other for a while, and they were close to each other.
Lu Luguo was naturally not the opponent of the generals of the Sea State, and he returned home in defeat. The Lulu Kingdom Monarch Jialou was angry, the more he thought about it, the more unwilling he became, the inner servants beside him said that he could unite several countries on the border of the Sea State, although it would divide some interests, but it was better than being monopolized by the Sea State.
In his anxiety, he sent envoys to contact several countries, and to his surprise, several countries agreed and immediately sent troops and money to pay for them, just to get a piece of the pie. The kings of these countries are secretly thinking that it will be difficult for everyone to be angry, and although the sea country is large, it will not be possible to destroy them all.
In this way, around Qingcang Mountain, several in and out, each has its own wins and losses, the sea country continues to increase troops, several countries also continue to pull alliances, and the fight is in full swing for a while. The entire continent is paying attention to this matter, and even the Firmament Country has changed its monarch, and few people are paying attention to it.
Hai Rui, the monarch of the Sea Kingdom, was so annoyed that he wanted to march into the army to destroy those small countries, but Zuo Xiangyan Qin tried to stop him, and said to Hai Rui in the imperial study: "A country is easy to destroy, but it is easy to make people angry, not to mention that this matter is strange, as if someone is instigating behind it." Besides, it's a treasure mine, it's not worth mentioning to us, so why not sell them a face. The gift of the treasure mine to Lulu Country to calm down this incident also shows the broad-mindedness of our Sea Country. β
After a pause, he whispered: "The king of Lulu is insatiable, if he says that the treasure mine will be given to him alone, he will not be willing to share it equally with other countries, and then we can sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, and without spending a single soldier, we can weaken the strength of the border countries." β
Hai Rui was overjoyed and readily agreed. As expected, Lulu did fight with several other countries because of the uneven distribution of benefits.
Hai Rui was overjoyed after hearing this, and held a feast in the palace to celebrate, who knew that in just half a month, several countries would join together again, and jointly handed over the letter of state, saying that the sea country is vast and rich, and asked the sea country to divide more than a dozen mines on the border.
At this time, even Fu Hongtang, the right minister who was sluggish, realized that something was wrong. The ministers and Hai Rui discussed overnight, and they couldn't tolerate the adulterer, so they decided to send Fu Lanyu, the young god of war of Haiguo, to teach them a lesson.
Fu Lanyu is the grandson of the right minister Fu Hongtang, who became famous in the first war at the age of sixteen, and made great achievements in six years, stationed in the west of the sea country, never returned, and was named a victorious general by Hai Rui.
Fu Lanyu has been stationed in the frontier all the year round to guard the tranquility of the western frontier, Hai Rui is naturally happy, but he is anxious about the two powerful ministers of the sea country, the left minister and the right minister.
How to say it, the right minister Fu Hongtang is anxious that his grandson is twenty and two years old and has not yet married, and he licks blood from the knife every day, in case there is a good one, he is old, and his son is also an unsuccessful one, so he is really going to be cut off.
Fu Hongtang shook his gray beard and sighed, Zuo Xiangyan Qin was nearly middle-aged, but he also felt that he was about to lose his gray hair.
Why?
is all because Yan Qin's only daughter Yan Yiyao and Fu Lanyu have been married since childhood, and Yan Yiyao is two years older than Fu Lanyu, this Fu Lanyu refuses to come back, and his baby daughter is going to become a mother-in-law.
But the parties were not in a hurry at all, Fu Lanyu used the excuse of guarding the border, and Yan Yiyao said that he would do his filial piety and not take his life's major events seriously.
Fu Hongtang and Yan Qin often looked at each other and sighed, saying that they had suffering, this time, they would take advantage of the matter of Lu Luguo to transfer Fu Lanyu back, and take this opportunity to do the big things of the two of them.
But people are not as good as heaven, Fu Lanyu didn't even return to the capital Handcheng, so he went directly to the border city of Moyang City to launch an offensive against the coalition forces of Lulu State.
It's just that this year is unfavorable for the sea country, but Fu Lanyu, who has always been invincible, has been repeatedly frustrated, and I don't know what masters these countries have invited, so they always don't fight head-on, but fight guerrilla attacks with them, so that Fu Lanyu, who has a military talent and is used to facing the enemy head-on, has no place to use.
In Moyang City, in the city guard mansion, Fu Lanyu sat in the lobby with a black face, drinking alone to kill his sorrows. Mo Yang City Shou Sang Qi Nan came in tremblingly, looked at Fu Lanyu's murderous black face, and said tremblingly: "General, General Fu, someone outside wants to see you." β
Fu Lanyu was dressed in black armor, although he was sitting, he was tall, with a handsome face, thick black eyebrows, and sharp eyes. Because of the perennial border battles, the skin is slightly dark, but the handsomeness is hidden and more majestic.
At this time, after drinking, his eyes narrowed slightly, clutching the wine glass in his hand, and his indifferent tone was implied with deterrence, "Didn't you say that it wasn't a war ahead, don't disturb me?"
Sang Qinan, who was about forty years old, had also gone on horseback to fight, but the Haiguo was famous, and in this eastern Xinjiang, he also had a small fight at most.
Unexpectedly, the monarch sent this great god over and lived in his city guard mansion, he was afraid that his careful thoughts would be known by Fu Lanyu, and he was even more frightened.
At this time, seeing Fu Lanyu's gaze sweeping, his legs trembled a little, "Hui, General Hui, they said that they were your friends, and I heard that you were stationed here to visit." β
"Friend, what friends do I have? Send them away, don't bother me. Fu Lanyu said self-deprecatingly, and drank all the wine in the cup after speaking.
"Yes, yes, I'll send them away, but they ......" Sang Qinan felt that the identity of the person who came was not ordinary, how could this be done, a headache.
Fu Lanyu saw that he looked like he was struggling and spitting, and he said impatiently, "It's Bai Ruoyi from the Snow Country, Bai Gongzi." β
"What?" Fu Lanyu stood up in surprise and strode over a table of wine and food.
stunned Sang Qinan, who was standing on one side.
