Chapter 651 War Refraction, the Collapse of the Ida System!

Zhu Yan resembles a monkey, white-headed and barefoot, living by devouring the breath of killing, once it appears, it indicates that there is about to be a big war, and the figure of the divine beast Zhu Yan appears in the Western Wilderness, which means that there will be a military disaster in the Western Wilderness.

"When did Zhu Yan come into existence?"

"King Qiqi, just the day before yesterday, if Emperor Zi was reorganizing his troops and horses today, he was waiting for him, and the countries of the Western Wilderness were also on guard against the invasion of Xirong barbarians at any time. ”

"Xirong barbarian invasion? But they suffered a disaster?" Yao Yun is very convinced of the auspicious and bad omen of this world, but he is not superstitious, and knows that there must be objective facts behind the auspicious and bad omen, and there must be a reason for the invasion of Xirong barbarians.

Sun Muyue stood up and said: "King Yingming, I heard that the Xirong barbarian countries suffered a disaster this year and lacked food, so I came up with the idea of invading the Celestial Empire and looting grain. ”

Yao Yun bowed slightly, remembering that when he had just taken over the Xi Kingdom, he encountered Dongyi invading the territory of the Celestial Empire and plundering everywhere, and the Xi Kingdom also sent a large army to assist the defense of the country and defend the city, so he asked:

"Second Elder, will the Son of Heaven call on the Southern Wilderness countries to send troops to assist the Western Wilderness countries?"

"If the situation is serious, it is inevitable!" Second Elder Wu Tong: "However, the war in the west has not yet arisen, and the Emperor of Heaven will naturally not stir up the army, and my Xiguo just needs to wait and see what happens." ”

Yao Yun was also very emotional when he heard it, this world is really full of disasters and difficulties, one side is peaceful, the wind and rain are smooth, and the grains are abundant, and the other place is frequent disasters, and the people are not happy.

Compared to the Quartet Barbarians, the Zhuxia Dynasty is a behemoth, if it is placed in normal times, how dare the Quartet Barbarians invade and harass, but when they encounter a crisis of life and death, they often become crazy and desperate.

However, fortunately, the war took place in the west, and there was no disaster in the Southern Wilderness and Xiguo for the time being.

There are not a few people who have this kind of lively mentality, so there is no sense of urgency in the Fenghuang Palace, and the bald dragon is even more emotional: "This time, the biggest winner is the divine beast Zhu is tired, a big battle, his divine power will inevitably rise, comparable to Benlong for several years of penance." ”

Yao Yun smiled bitterly, and didn't make too many comments, the summer dynasty is one no matter what, the lips are cold, the countries of the Western Wilderness are in trouble, if the situation is urgent, it is bound to drag the countries of the Southern Wilderness into the water.

If they could, no one wanted a fierce battle.

After some discussion, he retreated and the ministers dispersed.

Yao Yun dealt with government affairs for another half a day, and after reviewing the book that piled up the earth mountain, he went straight to Qingqiu Palace, no matter how chaotic it was outside, in Yao Yun's eyes, the most important thing was the tassel mother and daughter.

After grinding with tassels and temples, and after a night of warmth, Yao Yun was in good spirits.

The next day, Hu Yi's subordinates brought the latest news of the Celestial Empire.

[Great King, at present, the countries of the Western Wilderness are waiting, the situation is quite tense, and the Son of Heaven has ordered the six cloud divisions under his command to advance to the countries of the Western Wilderness and assist the countries of the Western Wilderness to defend!]

Five days later, news came that the army of Xirong had invaded the countries of the Western Wilderness on a large scale, and a major war was about to break out.

There were dozens of ghosts and gods in the Xirong barbarians, and an unprecedented battle broke out between the two sides.

Emperor Twilight of the Son of Heaven personally took action, joined forces with the gods and spirits under his command, broke the Great Array of Dogs and Gods, and killed the three major ghosts and gods.

In less than half a month, the main force of the Xirong army was repulsed, and many Fangguo countries of Xirong barbarians fled in all directions, not daring to wield the tiger's whiskers of the Heavenly Dynasty.

The Celestial Empire achieved a rare victory, but the divine beast Zhu Yan still did not leave - although the main army of Xirong retreated, the killing and looting did not end, and the crazy Xirong barbarians scattered as birds and beasts, and split up to raid and loot materials in the countries of the Western Wilderness.

The Zhu Xia Dynasty was not afraid of a head-on confrontation with the Xirong army, but it was a headache for the crazy burning and looting of the Xirong barbarian Qi refining warriors.

As a result, the countries of the Western Wilderness began to frantically encircle and suppress the barbarian powerhouses who broke into the Zhuxia Dynasty, just like whack-a-mole, and they would fight wherever the barbarian qi refining powerhouses appeared, and they were tired of coping.

The people in the big city are not bad, they are guarded by the city defense formation, protected by the army, and they are safe, but the people in the vast number of towns and villages are miserable, not to mention the looting, they are often looted, and life and death fall into the control of others.

Emperor Twilight of the Son of Heaven was furious, and led the nine divisions of the Yun Division [Nine Five-Rank Elite Divisions] to counterattack the Xirong barbarians, all the way like a bamboo, tooth for tooth, and wiped out the two Xirong Fang Kingdoms.

However, just when everyone thought that the Son of Heaven would be overwhelmed and hit the Western Kingdoms in one fell swoop, the Celestial Empire and Xirong reached a reconciliation, and both sides took a step back, stopped fighting, and recuperated.

This result is very abrupt, the princes of the world are puzzled, and now the emperor of the Son of Heaven sits firmly in the position of the Son of Heaven, cultivating to the peak of divine power, the vast supernatural powers, and the nine cloud masters under his command are unmatched in the world.

This time he entered the hinterland of Xirong and won all the way, why not hit Xirong hard in one fell swoop?

Not only the princes of the world are puzzled, but Yao Yun, the second elder and others are also quite puzzled, as the so-called taking advantage of his illness to take his life, the barbarians of the Xirong countries, who make a living by plundering, do not hit it hard, it will not be long before they will make a comeback and invade the borders of the Celestial Empire year after year.

So Yao Yun ordered an investigation into the reasons for the boycott.

Soon, Hu Yi came with intelligence news, and everyone knew the reason why Emperor Tianzi stopped at dusk - there was a shortage of food, and the supply of grain and grass for the nine cloud masters was insufficient, so they had no choice but to stop.

This result left everyone stunned.

At the time of the war between Xirong and the countries of the Western Wilderness, the grain had already been harvested in various places, and the Xiguo country had another bumper harvest, so it paid the tribute in full and did not owe any grain.

"I didn't expect that the final problem was still in the grain and grass, and this was the reason for the failure of every conquest of the barbarians from all directions in the past. The second elder was quite embarrassed.

The bald dragon was puzzled and said: "The prince of the world has dedicated the art of iron smelting, and there is the cultivation technique of the Xi Kingdom, the grain of the Celestial Empire has increased a lot compared with previous years, why is the Celestial Empire still short of grain, it seems that the situation has become more serious in recent years, the more grain is produced, the more the Celestial Empire is short of grain? What is the reason?"

"Uncle Long, this is very simple, the other princes did not supply enough food like us, except for the Xi Kingdom, many princely states in the royal fields are either deserted, or the grain production is reduced, even the land of Dianfu is no exception, with iron tools, a family can farm, there is no need for thousands of people to cooperate in cultivating the land, in this way, in order to seek benefits, the world naturally cultivates private land privately, and is unwilling to work for the public land!"

After experiencing the initial surprise, Yao Yun thought about it carefully, and immediately understood the reason that the Celestial Empire's grain production had obviously increased and this year's harvest was clearly bumper, but the Son of Heaven was short of grain.

It can be said that this is all indirectly caused by the art of iron smelting, and this is also the beginning of the collapse of the Ida system.
