Thousands of miles away from Curie Pass, and Lin City stands majestically, although it is not as grand as the national capital of those countries in the Central Plains, but compared to the city of Liaoxi is more than that, and the Central Plains country builds the city with soil, and the blue brick and stone strips are different, and the forest city is completely built with bluestone, after years of washing, the original cyan strip stone has been covered with a layer of faint black, but it looks more solemn.

It is a large city with a population of more than 100,000 people, and it is the political and economic center of the Donghu people, as well as the military center of the Donghu king Miranda, who controls the whole of Donghu. In the city of Helin, there are 20,000 elite troops of the Donghu royal family, and in various strategic places around Helin, more than 30,000 royal army troops are stationed to jointly defend the city of Helin.

Donghu is a loose tribal alliance, the royal family's control over the tribes below depends on his own liliang, if the royal family is prosperous, then the tribes below dare not disobey slightly, and the royal family declines, and the big tribes below can simply ignore it, but for thousands of years, the Donghu royal family, regardless of strength or decline, has always controlled and Lin City, not that there are no other tribes coveting and Lin City, in fact, in addition to the royal family, any other tribe wants to enter and Lin City, will be besieged by other departments, Placing yourself in Helin City is like roasting yourself on the fire.

In addition to having the power to mobilize various ministries and unified command when waging war abroad, the king of Donghu played more of a mediating role in the internal ministries among the Donghu tribes.

However, in the past 100 years, the Donghu royal family has been in addition to two great figures, the previous generation of Nilu and this generation of Miranda, under the hard work of these two powerful people for a hundred years, the Donghu royal family is thriving, and the control of the Donghu tribes is getting stronger and stronger, Nero makes the royal family stronger, and Miranda begins to expand externally, which has been with Dayan for nearly ten years of war, the original Liaodong under the control of Dayan swallowed down, ten years of war, Dayan lost not only thousands of miles of territory in Liaodong, but also lost a competition with Donghu, The ambition to regain the lost territory, and the war in the past ten years, has also greatly reduced the strength of Dayan, and it has fallen behind in the competition with other Central Plains countries, and can only struggle to maintain, but cannot expand outward. The situation of the country is getting tougher and tougher.

And this decade, but Miranda is the most glorious decade, ten years, the Donghu royal family is getting stronger and stronger, in the war, he continues to annex the small and medium-sized tribes of Donghu damaged by the war, to the end of the war, most of the other Donghu tribes were shocked to find that the Donghu royal family under the control of Miranda has become an unshakable behemoth, the Donghu family can gather 100,000 elite soldiers, the general mobilization can gather more than 200,000 people, and the elite army under the control of the royal family has reached 50,000, so far, The other tribes were completely disqualified from challenging him, and could only crouch at Miranda's feet, at the mercy of him.

Miranda is not only a strong military commander, but also an excellent politician, in the capture of Liaodong, many Donghu heavyweights unanimously asked to continue to advance, advance into the Central Plains, Miranda overrode the public opinion, withdrew the troops, and reached a reconciliation with Dayan, and the war that lasted for more than ten years ended.

Miranda knows that if his steps move forward again and step into the Central Plains, Dayan will indeed not be able to resist his iron cavalry and scimitar, but if his lips and teeth are cold, other Central Plains countries will inevitably lend a hand, if these Central Plains countries join forces, Donghu is definitely not an opponent, if he reaches this point, maybe he has to spit out what he has eaten in his mouth, and more importantly, if he suffers a heavy blow, then his control over Donghu will be infinitely reduced.

Miranda did not hesitate to use the strength of the royal family to end the war, and a side result of this war was the destruction of the first commoner-born Taishou of Dayan, the Taishou of Liaoxi County. It was Zhang Shouyue's stubborn resistance and harassment in western Liaoning that also made Miranda recognise the war potential of the Central Plains.

In the center of the city, a platform within a radius of several miles is artificially built, from the city to the platform, you need to climb the stairs, climb hundreds of steps to arrive, and the royal court of the Donghu royal family is built on it, this is a palace group built in imitation of the palace style of the Central Plains Dynasty, but because it is high above all other buildings in the city, the power is even more amazing.

Miranda is over sixty years old, and in the past six months, many Donghu nobles and generals in Helin City have secretly been secretly thinking about this iron-blooded Donghu king in their hearts. The old King Donghu has lost the enthusiasm of his youth, and he is no longer as fierce as he used to be, and he actually swallows his anger against foreign bullying, and he is also calm about the spit on his face.

And the reason for these abdominal fibula is naturally that in the past six months, it has occurred in the area bordering Donghu and Dayan Liaoxi County.

First of all, a failed Donghu tribe in the infighting, the Hutu tribe fell into the sand here, and even the patriarch was captured alive, and then the unlucky patriarch Latobe was ransomed from Liaoxi City by an envoy sent by Miranda, but that's all, the always strong Miranda actually disappeared.

Latobe does not deserve sympathy, a failed tribe is a joke among the Donghu tribes, no one sympathizes with him, and now Latobe is in the city of Helin, living like a dog. But no matter how damn Latobe is, he can't be defeated in the hands of a big Yan people, which is intolerable to those proud Donghu generals, especially the direct generals of the royal family, who are even more angry, dozens of generals, even including several sons of Miranda, are among them, and they jointly wrote a letter asking for troops, giving Zhang Shouyue of Liaoxi County a heavy lesson, but the joint letter was like a stone in the sea, and there was no information when he entered the royal court, and these unwilling generals knelt outside the royal court under the leadership of Miranda's eldest son Soke, and prayed for Miranda to send troops, Miranda only has one sentence, "Love kneel, kneel!" After saying this, what should I do, what should Miranda do, night and night, day and day, it seems that none of this has happened.

This matter is finally settled. It's just that the image of Miranda, the iron-blooded king of the past, has plummeted in everyone's minds, and the lion is old after all.

Miranda simply ignored the discussion outside, even if the news was constantly gathered from the outside, piled up on his desk, who was with whom, what he said, was recorded verbatim and sent to him, he just glanced at it, smiled faintly, and put it aside.

It's just that those who are talking about it outside, if they see these things, they don't know whether they can laugh or not, or dare to say these things again, but unfortunately, they don't know, so they say what they should say.

In terms of appearance, Miranda is indeed old, the former Donghu lion is now shrunk on the wide beard bed, gray hair, wrinkled face, thin figure, no matter how you look at it, he looks like a little old man, but his spirit is still very good, and his eyes are still as deep as before.

In the courtyard, dozens of kabuki are performing hard, this is a song and dance group from Dayan, and their performance is much softer than the sonorous and powerful dance of Donghu.

There are a lot of people performing, but there are very few people watching, except for Miranda, there are only Tulu and Yan Qi, Tulu sits cross-legged in front of Miranda's Hu bed, and Yan Qi stands on the side of Hu bed, and the two of them also watch with relish.

Yan Qi returned from Liaoxi City last year, the famous Donghu warrior one hand was abolished, the right hand that had made all the Donghu warriors fearful, now can no longer hold the scimitar, many people think that Yan Qi will inevitably lose the king's holy favor from now on, but Miranda's reaction once again surprised everyone, Yan Qi did not lose Miranda's favor, and the privileges he enjoyed, even the eldest prince Soke can not be compared.

Yan Qi's right hand was abolished, although he kept silent, but many people also found out the culprit from the samurai who followed Yan Qi that day, and it was the same person who defeated Latobe.

"Tulu, how is this Dayan's song and dance compared to my Donghu dance? On the bed, the thin Miranda voice was not loud, but it was extremely deep, and although the tone was slow, there was a majesty that could not be disobeyed.

"Great King, Dayan sings and dances, more than soft and not strong enough, but it is still of the highest quality," Tulu replied with a smile.

"Yan Qi, what do you say? ＂

"My lord, the ministers are willing to see the dance of my Donghu children, that is the dance of the warriors, this Dayan song and dance, all the sound of the glamour, immersed in it, should consume the will of my generation. It's better for the king to see less." Yan Qi bowed his head.

Listening to Yan Qi's words, Miranda suddenly raised her head and daxiao, "Yan Qi, it seems that those words outside also have an impact on you, although the injury on your hand is healed, but the injury in your heart is far from good!" ＂

"A hand injury is easy to heal, but this wound in the heart needs to be watered with blood to heal completely! Yan Qi said in a deep voice.

Miranda looked at the dancing figures in the hall and was silent for a moment, "Yan Qi, do you also want to use troops now?" ＂

"No, now is not the time." Yan begged.

"That's what sets you apart from them! Miranda patted the bed and said with a smile: "The most important thing about you is not your frightening right hand, but your head."

"Danchen still misses the right hand that makes the enemy fearful." Yan Qi's voice was full of ruthlessness, "But even without my right hand, my left hand will still make my enemies afraid in the future."

Miranda smiled slightly, "Dayan singing and dancing is more than soft, but not strong enough, my Donghu dance is more than strong, and lost flexibility, the combination of rigidity and softness is king."

"The king is right! "Turu is in a hurry, Miranda is talking about politics, he turned around and looked at Miranda.

Miranda waved her hand, "Let them go down, Tulu, Yan Qi, let's get down to business."

One by one, the dancers bowed and retreated, and in an instant, the hall was extremely empty. Miranda looked up at the high dome, and for a moment shook her head, "I'm getting old."

"King, your dragon horse spirit is still early to get old! Turu laughed.

"I'm over sixty, how can I not be old? There are some things that I am thinking about. Tulu, which of my sons do you say will sit in my seat in the future? Miranda asked with a smile.

Tulu was startled, and his face turned a little pale, "Your Majesty, this matter is up to you."

"You and Yan Qi are the people I trust the most, let's talk about it at will, I'll listen to it, I don't have to worry about anything, and no fourth person will know." Miranda smiled slightly and said.

Tulu pondered for a long time, "The five sons of the king, the eldest prince Soke and the third prince Thorpe are the best."

"Which one do you lean into? ＂

"Thorpe! This time, Tulu did not hesitate, "The third prince is more calm, both civil and military, and he is more calm in handling political affairs."

"Yan Qi, what about you? ＂

"The ministers support the eldest prince! Yan Qi glanced at Tulu, "The eldest prince is more courageous."

Miranda is a scholar and a martial minister, but on such a major matter, the opinions are diametrically opposed.
