Chapter 1036 Plotting the Western Wilderness!
Chapter 1036 Plotting the Western Wilderness!
The people have a voice of discussion about the resurgence of the army, but the princes of the court and the central government are clear-cut, and they stand up for the first time to wave the flag and shout for the emperor of heaven, and they are willing to be driven by the son of heaven!
The reason why it is so united, so unified, is not because of anything else, it is precisely profitable.
After the destruction of the Southern Barbarian States, the major imperial clans in Middle-earth can be said to have gained a lot.
The major imperial clans tasted the sweetness, and naturally responded to the call of the Son of Heaven to the east.
In fact, even if the Emperor of Heaven does not go to Dongyi at the moment, it will not be long before the gods of the major emperor clans and the vassal states of all parties will run around, pushing the Zhuxia Dynasty to conquer the barbaric ancient kingdoms of Dongyi, Beidi, Xirong and other places.
Especially the princes of the Eastern Wilderness, the Western Wilderness, and the Northern Wilderness of Zhuxia.
Before the destruction of the Southern Barbarian States, the Middle Earth Imperial Clan and the Southern Wilderness countries benefited a lot from it, eating wine and drinking meat, but the Eastern Wilderness, Western Wilderness, and Northern Wilderness countries did not get any substantial benefits.
Not only was there no benefit, but the Eastern Wilderness, Western Wilderness, and Northern Wilderness were wantonly invaded by the reckless countries such as Dongyi and Beidi because of the Celestial Empire's conquest of the Southern Barbarians, and suffered heavy losses.
In the past, the princely states of the Quartet were used to being harassed by the ancient countries of the reckless wilderness, and no one would say anything, but this time it was different, the Eastern Wilderness, the Northern Wilderness, and the Western Wilderness were brought to the Middle Earth and the Eastern Wilderness, and their hearts were naturally uneven.
If you want to appease the other three princes, you can only continue to crusade against the reckless ancient kingdoms of all parties, so that everyone can live a life of eating meat and drinking wine.
It can be said that unconsciously, the entire summer dynasty is bound to the chariot, and the world will not be able to calm down until the day when it sweeps the eight wildernesses and settles the four seas.
Interests from all directions will push the summer dynasty to raise troops continuously.
This is in line with the interests of the Emperor of Heaven, the interests of the gods of the Middle-earth Emperor Clan, and the will of the Eastern Wilderness, the Northern Wilderness, and the Western Wilderness.
The only controversy and resistance is the southern wilderness countries.
When the benefits of the Southern Barbarian countries were in hand, they were no longer so concerned about the resurgence of the army, but the resistance was only spread privately, and no one dared to resort to it.
After all, when the Southern Barbarian States were destroyed, the entire Summer Dynasty made a contribution, and you can't just cross the river and tear down the bridge after taking the benefits!
For a time, the crusade against Dongyi became "politically correct", and all the princes of the world responded, and the prelude to the war slowly opened.
Xi Guo was not surprised that the Son of Heaven took Dongyi, and after the Son of Heaven's conscription order was announced to the world, Xi Guo was the first to respond and actively participated in it.
Although participating in the crusade against Dongyi will not get a land reward, it can still loot ritual weapons and populations in the process of attacking the Dongyi countries, which is still very attractive to Xiguo.
However, the Celestial Empire did not let Xi Guo get his wish.
The Son of Heaven did not agree to Xi Guo joining the Eastern Expeditionary Army, but instead let Xi Guo rush from the southwest to the West to support the Western Wilderness States to resist the attack of the Xirong States.
After the collapse of the Southern Barbarian States, the reckless ancient countries of all parties deeply realized the truth of what it means to be cold, and regretted that they did not have the right to assist the Southern Barbarian States in the first place.
At this time, all the ancient countries of the barren wilderness are grasshoppers on a rope, and saving the Dongyi countries is to save themselves.
It is foreseeable that now that the Zhuxia Dynasty has sent troops to conquer the ancient kingdom of Dongyi, the Xirong and Beidi kingdoms will attack the Zhuxia Dynasty like crazy.
At this moment, going to Xiyu to resist the invasion of Xirong's army is undoubtedly a thankless task.
Even if he knew that the Son of Heaven and the center of the Celestial Empire intended to suppress and deliberately assigned dirty work to Xiguo, Xiguo had nowhere to redress, after all, everyone wanted to do easy and lucrative work.
However, Xi Guo did not have any other choice, back then, the Western Wilderness also resisted the barbarian invasion of the Southern Wilderness countries, the benefits were not much, and the losses were not small, and now it was Xi Guo's turn to help, and Xi Guo had no reason to refuse.
Yao Yun himself didn't care very much, the dispatch of the Emperor of Heaven and the center of the Celestial Empire was expected by him, and he didn't have much hope at first.
It's not bad to be able to participate in the Eastern Crusade and get a piece of the pie, but it's not a bad thing for Xi to send troops to help the Western Wilderness countries.
On the contrary, from a far-reaching point of view, taking advantage of the Son of Heaven's Eastern Expedition to lay out the West in advance will have more advantages than disadvantages for the Xi Kingdom.
Yao Yun was very greedy for Xiyu's jade veins.
Jade is the best carrier of rune power, and the formations and rune instruments bred by this are widely used in agriculture, industry... It can be said that the development of the Way of Runes has increased the productivity of the Xi Kingdom and vigorously boosted the prosperity and development of the Xi Kingdom.
And if the way of runes wants to develop vigorously, the jade vein is a mountain that cannot be bypassed.
Previously, the situation in the Quartet was stable, and the Xi Kingdom could only buy all kinds of jade from the Western Wilderness countries in the form of trade and trade, which cost a huge amount of money, not to mention, the most important thing is that the lifeblood of the Rune Way is controlled by others, and it is easy to be controlled by others.
In recent years, the way of runes in the Xi Kingdom has prospered, and the practical rune yuan tools with jade as the core have not only been widely spread in the Xi Kingdom, but have even been introduced to other countries.
The Xi Kingdom Refiner will arrange a self-detonation formation at the core of each rune element weapon sold, and once a Qi Refiner peeks into the core secret, it will self-destruct.
However, Rao is like this, and the rune yuan weapon of Xi Kingdom still attracted the attention of many qi refiners.
Sooner or later, someone will discover the value of jade.
For this reason, Yao Yun had to take precautions and pay attention to it as soon as possible.
He wasn't worried that others would catch up and surpass Xi Guo in the way of runes.
The way of runes came from his hands, originating in the Xi Kingdom, and he was not afraid to compete with others, on the contrary, he welcomed foreign Qi Refiners who came to study in the Xi Kingdom to preach in their own country.
Yao Yun was most worried that the value of jade would be discovered, and then Xiguo would not be able to gain a firm foothold in Xiyu, and then he would be controlled by others because of the jade veins.
At present, the Celestial Empire asked Xi Guo to support the Western Wilderness countries and guard the Western Plague for the Celestial Empire, Yao Yun was "depressed and unhappy" on the surface, but in private he was ecstatic.
The order of the Son of Heaven undoubtedly gave Yao Yun a valid reason to enter the Xixi.
The destruction of the Dongyi countries is not something that can be completed in a short time and a half, even if the Emperor of Heaven personally conquers, if nothing happens, it will take at least two or three years to annex the Dongyi countries.
In the past two or three years, the Xi Kingdom will have to station troops in the Western Wilderness to resist the invasion of the Xirong Barbarian Ancient Kingdom.
With the situation in the Western Wilderness, although Xi Guo could not expand its territory and lay down a large number of rivers, it was not difficult to gain a firm foothold in the Western Wilderness.
After all, the army of Xi Guo has been guarding the Western Wilderness for a long time, and it is impossible to let Xi Guo transport grain from his country for a long time to work for them in vain, and when the time comes, Yao Yun will come forward to ask for a piece of land in the defense area he is responsible for, this request is not too much, right?
As long as the country of Xi takes root in Xixi, then it will be easy to follow.
It is easy to please God, and it is difficult to send God, as long as he stands firm, Yao Yun does not plan to withdraw his troops.
Whether it is encroaching step by step, or biting in the Western Wilderness, Yao Yun will not give up his plot against the Western Wilderness.
