If the emperor who knew Luo Yun was surprised that Lu Fan sent troops south, then now Lu Fan's strength on the border should be shocked.

All the heavenly armies that Luo Yun could draw were nothing more than that, and the defenders of a border in the northern country had such a force, how could it not be surprising.

What's even more shocking is that the northern kingdom actually used a kind of warship that can fly into the sky, and the power of the sky is already incomparable.

Luo Yun's generals will get the news, their hearts have fallen to the bottom, and they have no hope for this war, and they can't help frowning when they see the sky getting darker.

The general who led the troops this time sighed secretly, and this time it seemed that he returned empty-handed.

But I can't retreat without a fight, I can take advantage of the night to raid tonight, burn, kill and loot, and I won't fall into the prestige of my Luoyun Emperor, the general thought.

The generals of the Luo Yun Empire had just ordered the headquarters of 10,000 horses, and there were more than 1,000 vanguard camps, and they quietly galloped towards the Northern Army on the other side of the ridge.

At this moment, on the snowy night that was originally black and gray, suddenly a pond fire fell from the sky, thunder shook the sky, the heavens and the earth collapsed, the mountains and the earth cracked, the avalanche was hundreds of miles, and the trees were destroyed.

In an instant, Luo Yun's vanguard was covered with film, and the follow-up troops were so startled that the war horses rose up and neighed, trampling on each other in a mess.

At this moment, the originally dark ridge was full of torches, and the sky was full of firelight, slowly driving towards this side. At this moment, the weak army that had been looked down upon by the Luo Yun Empire was like a god descending from heaven, and the divine power was unstoppable, and the empty rockets shot like rain.

This sudden change panicked Luo Yunjun's god, confused Luo Yunjun's heart, trampled on countless casualties, and fled from the sea of fire without knowing the direction.

In this battle, Luo Yun's army suffered more than 10,000 casualties, and the border guards withdrew to Luo Yun's original territory, and continued to retreat for more than 100 kilometers before stopping.

In the barren mountains, in a certain spiritual mountain blessed land, in the sect, a powerful man opened his eyes, and said after a while: "Alas, the battle in the mortal world today is so fierce!"

Heaven and earth are out of balance, and resentment fills heaven and earth, and the evil cultivation will surely become rampant again.

···

The northern army did not pursue too much, but only stopped after dozens of kilometers of pursuit, and returned to its original station.

It's just that the enemy has been frightened, and when he looks at the stars in the sky, he thinks it is the pursuing soldiers of the northern country, and he retreats more than a hundred kilometers before stopping.

Half a month later, Luo Yun sent news that he wanted to negotiate with the lord of the northern kingdom, and the general who led the troops to attack the northern kingdom 'without authorization' had already shown his head to the public under the wrath of the emperor.

Now Emperor Luo Yun is very optimistic about the trade between the two countries, hoping that the previous friendly relations can be continued.

Regarding the entry of the Northern Kingdom into the Central Plains, Emperor Luo Yun also expressed his support.

Although Luo Yun's attitude was insignificant, just to curry favor with the northern country, Lu Fan still blocked the news, and if it spread to the south of the empire, people with good intentions would spread it as a traitor who colluded with Luo Yun.

After all, at this critical moment, no one can get out of the pool.

Half a month later, the Luoyun royal family personally took the initiative, and after a month of long negotiations in the Marshal's Mansion in the northern country, a new border line was drawn after a group of Confucian verbal wars.

Luo Yun retreated another hundred miles, taking the Yueluo River, which is now the retreat of the Luo Yun Empire, as the border, and the two sides did not invade each other.

For the Luo Yun Empire, the most important thing is the vast land, and what he hopes most is to be able to get what he wants, while Lu Fan only wants a stable border, and now the northern country has recovered its stamina.

Therefore, in order to appease Luo Yun's impatient heart, Lu Fan also proposed to establish a free trade city-state by the lake by the Yueluo River, named Moonfall City.

The two sides jointly administer, but no troops are allowed to be stationed, and the two sides can only arrange ordinary management personnel to maintain law and order.

Many years later, even Lu Fan at the beginning could not have imagined that this free city would be famous on the entire continent and become a precedent for the six free trade cities surrounding the imperial capital.

Of course, that's all for later...

Today's Lu Fan doesn't have the ability to predict the future development, but the needs of the current situation are to have a stable frontier and a stable northern country.

This was followed by a series of marriages, and the prince of the Luoyun Empire wanted to marry Lu Ying, but was pushed back by Lu Fan.

And the Luo Yun Empire formed a group of more than 100 women including the princess and came to the Shuai Mansion in the north.

And the princess who came to kiss this time is the sister of the princess who was captured many years ago, although Luo Yun's saintess has a very bad impression of Lu Fan, but this woman admires Lu Fan's bravery, regards him as a hero among warriors, and has always regarded Lu Fan as a legend.

This time, the Luoyun Empire intended to make peace with the northern country, and Princess Yihe just heard about it, so she asked her relatives to marry the northern country.

One is the wish of Princess Yihe, and the other is that although Princess Yihe is a princess in the Luoyun Empire, she has the slightest status among many princesses and is often excluded.

This time, even if Princess Yihe did not voluntarily petition to go, she would not escape the fate of harmony in the end, so as soon as Princess Yihe petitioned, she was hastily sent to reconcile.

Gong Dou is a common occurrence in every empire...

Seeing that the team has arrived in the territory, it is only a matter of time before they arrive at the Shuaifu, and the two countries are making friends, although Luo Yun's approach is a little reckless, but since ancient times, in order to show the intimacy and special relationship between the two countries, there is a way out of marriage.

On the one hand, Lu Fan sent the newly promoted general Duanmu Lang to pick up the driver of the team, and on the other hand, he asked the people of the Ministry of Industry to design a temporary residence palace that would make Princess Yihe more suitable according to the environment.

At the same time, Lu Fan is also preparing some return gifts for Luo Yun's family sending team to bring back, so as to express the friendliness of the northern country.

At this moment, Lu Fan in the north is already busy, which is enough for Lu Fan to have a headache, Lu Fan is now like a big housekeeper in the north, doing what a country's prime minister should do.

Far away in the Far Eastern Province of Lu Ying, the entire territory is already under the control of Lu Ying's army.

According to Lu Fan's instructions, he gathered labor to rebuild the water conservancy, and Lu Fan's previous acquaintances in the imperial capital were all going to many provinces in the southeast of Tianhe to regain the old mountains and rivers that were in ruins.

However, Lu Fan's purpose is to master the army in order to govern, so Lu Ying's next thing to do is to expand the army.

If many powerful people want to keep their existing interests, they have to pay food and money to the army, and the refugees who originally fled have returned to the place where they have lived for generations, but there is nowhere to live, and many have joined the army.

For a time, the army seemed to expand rapidly, and most of the money and food needed by the army were also gathered.

Although in this way, the interests of the local financial magnates have been greatly damaged, but in the face of the strength of the army, in the end, the magnates still chose to forbear, after all, it is thousands of times stronger than Fuso's 'light' policy.

Therefore, the prestige of the Lu family in front of the famous family is not high, but the real power is in their hands, and they dare not make mistakes, but they are still doing better in terms of popular support.

But this is not a long-term thing after all, so Lu Fan explained some things and set a general direction, but the specific thing is that Lu Ying has to grasp it immediately.

Lu Ying stationed his army at Wangshan Lake in Huizhou, which was a place in the middle of the eastern provinces and counties, and could have strong control over the provinces, states and counties.

On Wangshan Lake, a 10,000-year-old banyan tree grows in the lake, the roots and branches are indisputable, it forms a paradise on the water, its branches are all within a radius of dozens of miles, the giant tree hangs on the water surface, and a hundred birds inhabit all things as their home, forming the wonder of a single tree into a forest.

And at this moment, the 10,000-year-old banyan tree, next to the several leaves of the boat standing next to the ancient banyan tree, and dozens of people entered the ancient banyan tree, amazed thousands of birds, disturbed this piece of heaven and earth, and the rising water mist made this ancient banyan place appear quiet and mysterious.

The trunk of the 10,000-year-old banyan tree is like a dragon floating on the water, forming a ridge, and the fibrous roots of the giant trunk under the water have surfaced, and some have grown branches and leaves. Lu Ying walked on top of the giant trunk, looking at the water, looking relaxed and happy.
