"General Meng, Your Majesty and the princes and ministers have been waiting for you for a long time. The eunuch outside the door said sharply with a duck throat, Meng Yu glanced at and stepped into the golden hall, and the rich warm fragrance inside suddenly made him very uncomfortable.

In the past two years, the smell of blood or the wind blowing through the grassland has often spread under the tip of his nose, and these days after the war have made him suddenly idle, often looking at the thin ice ridges on the eaves in a daze, looking at it for a day.

The moment he stepped into the main hall, Meng Yu was stunned for a moment, and found that the people sitting inside were all looking at him.

The ministers wore gorgeous robes, high crowns and incense, and the iron armor on his body looked very abrupt, and he remembered that the maids in the palace came to his room with court clothes this morning, but he forgot to take off his armor and put on court clothes, the eldest princess was the first to react, and walked to Meng Yu's side with her skirt and whispered: "General Meng, where is your position." ”

"I've seen Her Royal Highness the eldest princess!" he bent down and saluted, the iron-blooded spirit startled the ministers in the palace, and the great eunuch Zhang Tianwei snorted coldly, reluctantly moved his position, and watched the iron armor sit on the chair next to him.

Tang Wang Ye coughed lightly and looked at Meng Yu obliquely, Emperor Zuo Ci's eyes were blurred, his long eyebrows covered his eyes, and he seemed to be older than before. On this long table, the position of power is very exquisite, His Majesty the Emperor sits at the end, Tang Wang Ye and the eldest princess sit on either side of him, and then it is the turn of Xu Yi, the first assistant of the cabinet, the positions of the four famous generals are empty, and the chairs behind are filled by the heads of various ministries.

"Your Majesty, Meng Yu is late, please forgive your Majesty!" He suddenly stood up again, his armor made a clanging sound, the prime minister looked at this barbarian man in shock, his heart was very unhappy, His Majesty the Emperor waved his hand and said: " General Meng is the god of war of my Great Yin, it is my blessing to be able to wait for the arrival of the general, we are discussing how to deal with the follow-up of this Northern Barbarian War, as well as the division of the spoils, the great monarch of the Golden Horde, Guiyou Mugar, intends to dedicate the land south of the glorious steppe of the Northern Barbarian to us, plus 100,000 sheep and 30,000 cattle every year on the glorious steppe, what do you think?"

A sound of admiration sounded around him, and Meng Yu's face remained unchanged, as if all this had nothing to do with him.

Emperor Yinhuang snapped his fingers, the little eunuchs walked out with a huge map, Emperor Yinhuang used a whole piece of ebony carving to depict a detailed map of the world, the map table is about fifty feet long, the widest part is about half of the length, the narrowest point is less than four feet, after the map shape is carved, the painter is instructed to color, the mountains are painted with brown gray, the rivers are painted with light blue, and the national boundaries of the countries under the world are divided with red lines, and there is a statue representing their royal power on the capital of each country, just like the eagle head of the Yin country, the wolf head of the bottle country, the dragon head of the Qing country, the fifteen countries of the world, all in sight。

The little eunuch put the woodcarved map on the long table, and Emperor Yin took the whip they handed and pointed to the territory above: " Here is the map of the Northern Regions, from the original six northern countries have now become the five northern countries, I specially replaced the red fish wood carving in the west, it can be said that it is the latest version of the world map, now the northern barbarians are destroyed, we only have four countries left in the north, Dayin, Yanfu, Bottle Country, Golden Horde, but the area of the Northern Barbarians is almost half of the total area of our four countries, after the end of this war, how should we deal with those Northern Barbarian refugees?"

"Shouldn't this be something for the Golden Horde to consider?" the Prime Minister asked.

"We have formed a triple alliance with the Golden Horde and the Bottle Country, and the affairs of the Golden Horde are our business, and the Emperor sent a letter of state two days ago, to the effect that this Northern Barbarian War does not need to consider his opinion, but the Great Monarch of the Golden Horde, my father-in-law, he hopes that our Yin Kingdom can give detailed advice. ”

Liu Kang has been watching, and he did not send troops in this Northern Barbarian War, which can be regarded as self-aware. Tang Wang Ye sneered.

"We shouldn't have formed an alliance with him in the first place, he hasn't done anything all these years, he actually watched from the other side of the battle of Yunjian River, watching our army and Yan Zhen's army fight to the death, only in the first battle of Xilin did he produce twenty or thirty thousand soldiers and horses, and then that old bastard will actually leave the North Slaughter City!" said the prime minister through gritted teeth.

"But we have already taken this step, and now only Yan Fu is left in the four northern kingdoms who is not our ally, and there is news that the king of Yan Fu intends to marry their princess to Zhao Wentian, the crown prince of Qingguo, in order to seek protection from Qingguo. He lightly tapped the whip on the territory of Kyungkook.

"Marriage? But weren't they at war before?"

"There are no eternal enemies, only eternal interests, Yinguo and Yanfu are mortal enemies of all generations, it is impossible to form an alliance with Yanfu at the moment, and our food simply can't feed so many people, if we want to go one step closer, we must take Yanfu before they form an alliance with Qingguo!"

"Imperial brother, do you want to conquer the south?" the eldest princess's voice trembled slightly.

"I know that you are afraid of the strength of Qingguo, and our country is not enough to resist them, but what about two, what about three? If we can take Yan Fu, Qingguo will be hit in the belly and back, and our cavalry can hit their imperial city along Yan Fu's mountain range, and Liu Kang will definitely not let go of such a large piece of fat, and his wolf soldiers will definitely be dispatched with the whole army at that time, plus the strength of the Golden Horde, our three kingdoms are enough to destroy the rule of the Qing'an Dynasty. ”

"They have dragons, how are you going to fight those dragons?" Xu Yi looked straight at Emperor Yin, his voice full of suspicion.

"Do you know why I've been recruiting warlocks from all over the world?" he lowered his whip and smiled faintly.

"Warlocks are powerful, but they are also as powerful as dragons, they can control Nature's Breath, and in terms of concentration, it is clear that those beasts are superior. Emperor Zuo Ci said.

"Ministers, I can't tell you the details of this plan yet, but I assure you that when our army arrives at the city, the Kingdom of Qing will face the fall of the dragons. He lowered his whip, his eyes filled with flames, like a young man about to go on a campaign, eager to prove himself.

"Okay, just when you can deal with those dragons, what about Hou Chu? What about Shu Yue? When we fight against Yan Fu, do you think they won't come to stab us, and Hou Chu is Yan Fu's ally, they won't sit idly by. Your Majesty, your plan is certainly excellent, but there are undoubtedly too many loopholes, and the old minister cannot agree with it. After Zuo Ci finished speaking, the ministers in the audience also seconded the proposal, Emperor Yin's face was a little ugly, but the old man in front of him was the emperor of the Three Dynasties, and his father was also taught by him, although the emperor had not done anything big, but he was also conscientious, and he did not dare to refute him in front of so many people.

"General Meng, what do you think about this matter?" He looked at the iron-armored man, and he didn't know why he had to wear a heavy armor of more than fifty catties all day long, and he wasn't tired of walking?

"Your Majesty, the last general doesn't understand strategy, only understands the art of war, as Zuo Taifu said, Your Majesty's words are full of loopholes, and now we must deal with the affairs of the Northern Barbarians first, as for the country of Yan Fu, if Your Majesty insists on sending troops to the last general, the last general will definitely not give up. He said in a deep voice.

"Good ......" Emperor Yinhuang was slightly relieved.

"The six southern countries nominally retain their autonomy, but in fact they are the vassal states of Qingguo, do you think that when a war starts, Qingguo will not gather their troops? The soldiers who left the court can be called the strongest land infantry in the world, the Red Tiger heavy infantry is a legend in the history of war through the ages, every man who leaves the court is a natural warrior, they have a tenacious will and strict discipline, in the entire history of the world, the excellent attack ability of the court heavy infantry is invincible, if our army and the army that left the court are placed on the battlefield, if they can survive half of the first charge, they must win in the end. Xu Yi looked at Emperor Yin coldly.

"Lord Xu, you shouldn't have seen the full charge of the Wind Eagle Iron Cavalry, there is no way that half of this situation exists, after a charge, there are only white bones. Meng Yu glanced at Xu Yi and said disdainfully.

"What about the Xuanjia Qilin Array of the Eastern Sui Dynasty? Can you rush away? Those soldiers are not worthy of the sword blade, they only take a wide copper shield one person high on the battlefield, and each of their shields can be perfectly connected, like a huge fortress on the battlefield, immobile as a mountain, difficult to defend and attack, have you ever seen it?"

"It's just a game between shield and sword, our cavalry's arrows shoot long and far, and the archers can break their defenses before the charge arrives, and the long arrows can shoot through the cracks in their shields, shooting their so-called unicorn array into shattered tortoise shells. ”

"Ridiculous! Each of their shields is plated with magnets, and it is impossible for the two shields to be connected to leave a gap, a unicorn formation formed by a thousand people, leaving only a gap in the width of the shield for the soldiers to breathe, our cavalry will only be forced back by the other side when they encounter this fortress-like formation. ”

"Even if you scatter their forces, then the distance of the iron cavalry charge will be shortened, and the power will be greatly reduced, what if the flying dragon descends on the battlefield?

"Lord Xu, have you ever been on the battlefield?" Meng Yu doesn't like to talk about formations with people who can only talk on paper. He leaned sideways, as if trying to end the discussion.

"What kind of thing are you, a barbarian who can only wield a sword and dance all his life!" Xu Yi was also angry.

"Your Majesty said just now, he has a way to solve those dragons, and we still have tens of thousands of Qimen Warlocks who have not been put into the battlefield, I believe in Your Majesty's decision!" he snorted, suppressing Xu Yi's arrogance.

Emperor Yin looked at the two people who were arguing and set their eyes on him, slowly put down the whip in his hand, and said in a soft tone: "The patriotism of the ministers is in my eyes, and this matter needs to be continued ......"

"Your Majesty, according to the words of the old minister, we should now pay attention to the Beiban, although the Beiban royal family has been destroyed, there are still nearly a million Beiban refugees who have not been resettled, and now the winter famine is coming, they can't survive this winter. Emperor Zuo Ci said.

"Whatever those barbarians have to do with us, the people of the Golden Horde will take care of it. Tang Wang Ye said.

"Their so-called treatment will most likely drive them further north, where there is no food, only snow and ice, and a million lives will die in the cold, and they are people from the North like us, and we should not stand idly by. The eldest princess said.

"That's why we have to lay down the south, the south is a granary, there is grain everywhere, every household can smell the aroma of wine, in the richest Tang country, gold nuggets and beads can be seen everywhere, the Tang people are not very sorry, they supply Qingguo with grain and rice a year enough to feed most of the population of our Yinguo, just the offering!"

"But how can this south be so easy to take, I looked at the war history over the years, almost all of us are fighting in the northwest, and the north is also fighting, our war horses are better than theirs, and the armor and swords are not inferior to them, but we always aim our swords at our own people, if we form an army to attack the south at the beginning, maybe we will have fought it a long time ago. ”

"Do you think that Qingguo has no ambitions? Sixty years ago, in the Northern Expedition, we died in the north for a full two million people to block the attack of the Seven Nations Alliance, at that time I was not born, and even my father was only an infant baby, but Zuo Taifu, you were there at that time, you knew how terrifying their offensive was at that time. Yinhuang Yufeng changed his mind.

The emperor lowered his head slightly, he was just a schoolboy in the Hanlin Academy back then, and the sound of reading aloud accompanied him all day long, hoping to get the name of Zu Tianguang.

When he was nine years old, Emperor Zhao Shajian of Qingguo lifted the morale of his army, commanded the Northern Expedition of the Seven Kingdoms Alliance in the South, and went straight to the north with an army of 1.8 million people, hoping to annex the Northern Regions and conquer the world.

He relied on the different military power distribution strategies of the Seven Kingdoms, and the West, Yin, Bottle, and Yan were not allowed to temporarily form an alliance, but the Seven Nations Alliance still killed the northern soldiers on their backs, and the total number of large and small battles exceeded forty-eight. The Dragon Protector Army attacked with all its might, controlling the Breath of Nature throughout the battlefield, burying countless famous generals in the north under the soil, and facing the four emperors of the West, the Yin Emperor, the Bottle Emperor, and the Yan Fu King to fight the Dragon Guardian Legion in the sky above the Rest City.

That battle can be described as earth-shattering, the breath of the four kings fought the dragon king, 100,000 flying swords rose into the sky, hundreds of flying dragons fell on the shallows outside the rest of the city, the hot dragon blood will flow into the Baiyue River, the dragon's corpses are superimposed like a city wall, and finally the king of Xilin stepped in front of Zhao Xiaoxin with countless flying swords, plunged the sword into his throat, and fell on the sky with his dragon......

With the death of Zhao Shajian, the Seven Nations Alliance was leaderless, and soon retreated to the south, countless corpses were piled up on the northern battlefield, and people did not even have coffins to place the excess corpses.

"Brother Huang, are we going to war again?" asked the eldest princess.

Emperor Yin sighed low and said, "I know that you may disagree, but what I want to tell you is that I have decided to hold a meeting with Emperor Bottle and the Great Monarch of the Golden Horde, but the content is not much different from what I and you are talking about now, but there are some very important details that I can't tell you now, and you will agree with my opinion later." ”

"We ...... We must get through the South. He affirmed.

Everyone stopped talking, Emperor Yin seemed to be determined to fight the south, he sat on the chair, looked at these familiar and strange people in front of him, and said in a deep voice: "You all go down, Meng Yu and Chu Musk stay." ”

The courtiers withdrew, fell to their knees and kowtowed, and left the council hall one after another, and the little eunuchs closed the door, and only the three of them were left in the huge hall.
