The two princes who were in a hurry couldn't even wait for a moment. Just after the New Year's carnival in Dunhuang City, they had an all-night long talk with Yuan Zhao.

What they talked about that night was not clearly recorded in later history books, and even folk rumors were rarely mentioned. But what is certain is that both King Yan and King Guangling have received the promise they desperately want. When the sky was bright, and when they said goodbye to Yuan Zhao and went back to rest with a courteous attitude, it was obvious that the excitement and joy on their faces were exuding.

"Lord Wang, how is it going?"

The think-tank staff who followed him couldn't help but ask quietly. The second king looked at the sharp edge of those ironclad machines in the depths of the camp, and finally couldn't help but share the joy in his heart.

"It's a big deal! The Marquis has agreed to our request. You can now return to our fiefdom and immediately begin preparations to follow the Han army to expand the territory overseas. ”

When the palace staff heard this, they were overjoyed. They didn't expect that Yuan Zhao would agree to this matter so happily. I thought it would take a lot of trouble.

"Congratulations to the prince! Congratulations to the Lord! In the future, when you build a country overseas, you will be the king, but no one can control it! ”

The two kings walked briskly while listening to the compliments and congratulations of their subordinates. also nodded again and again. Although Yuan Zhao proposed many restrictions at the same time, listening to the benefits he said was enough to make them ecstatic.

They can see that as long as they do what Yuan Zhao said, they will definitely have unexpected gains. Huainan Wang and others in previous years are good examples.

Those princes are all people who once harbored a heart of disobedience, and if they are dealt with in strict accordance with the laws and regulations of the Han Dynasty, they are definitely the crime of killing their heads and giving death. But later, because Yuan Zhao pointed out a clear path for them, they immediately got rid of the fate of being trapped in a lonely city and waiting to be killed. To this day, the situation they have created in the vast seas beyond the East China Sea is both enviable and envious. In addition to still respecting the name of the Han Dynasty, it is completely an independent kingdom, and it is the real king of overseas!

The requirements imagined by King Yan and King Guangling are not high, and their foothold is enough as long as they can reach the level of these princes beyond the East China Sea. However, the blueprint for the future that Yuan Zhao painted for them was so grand that it was beyond their imagination.

The Western Continent is the real land of natural treasures. If it is fully developed in the future, it will not be much inferior to the land of Dahan. And the territory is staggeringly large.

If it is really as Yuan Zhao described, compared to the conditions he proposed, no matter what time it comes, the descendants of the kings there must unconditionally obey the Han Zhengshuo and take the Han Empire as their ancestor and birthplace, seems too insignificant. In fact, even if he didn't ask for this, the two princes would definitely not easily discard the banner of the Great Han. Because, they have the blood of Emperor Gaozu flowing in their bodies, and what they have heard and witnessed since childhood is the Chinese civilization. Although they are far away from the world and in a foreign land, they are all proud of it.

"Agreed to them so easily? What if their children and grandchildren have different intentions in the future and want to split with the Han? ”

At Yuanzhao's request, Sima Xiangru, who had been involved in hearing about this matter throughout the whole process, frowned, he thought of many possibilities in the future, and he was a little worried after all. Yuan Zhao laughed, he looked at the rising morning glow in the east, and replied with confidence.

"Such a question does not have to be

Fear, they won't do it. The direction of world development is always that civilization gradually replaces backwardness, and it will always be far ahead of the speed of the wheel of time. And as long as our Han Empire can maintain an advanced and civilized civilization far beyond any place, it will always be the leader of this world. No matter who it is, they will only bow down and worship, and take it as glory to belong to the Han, where will they take the initiative to cut off? ”

Sima Xiangru suddenly opened his mouth, he said yes again and again, and finally completely relieved his heart. Then, satisfied, I went back to rest.

They were all able to continue to have a good rest, but Yuan Zhao did not have such good treatment. For the next important plan, in order to prepare for the New Year's banquet of all the soldiers in the gap of the war, the young ruler of the Han Dynasty, who had not slept well for several days and nights, still rode his war horse again, and on the first day of the new year, went to inspect the military camp and send blessings to the soldiers.

When he first rode to the camp where the sick and wounded were located, he was warmly welcomed by everyone. Here, he met the heroes of the Flying Dragon Army who had been recuperating with the army after the last battle outside the Yumen Pass.

Liu Xu, who was born in a clan family, suffered several minor injuries, but there was no major problem. And the warriors who flew into the sky with him were injured to varying degrees. One of the flying devices caught fire during the battle, and all three people on board were killed.

After the other warriors were rescued, they became heroes who were heavily protected. And after the arrival of the Chang'an mission this time, each of them received a commendation order personally signed by His Majesty the Emperor for their outstanding meritorious service. The weight of the reward is enviable.

"Yuanhou, please rest assured! Our injuries don't get in the way at all. When you need to assist the army to fight again, it is guaranteed that it will not be compromised at all! ”

The fifteen warriors who had been personally visited by Yuan Zhao were very excited. Liu Xu was shirtless and bandaged in the cold wind, patting his chest with a generous expression, and expressed his position on behalf of all the brothers.

On their chests, each of them still wore the bronze nameplate that Yuan summoned them before the battle. This small brand, which is simply engraved with the word "Flying Dragon", is not exquisitely made, and even looks a little simple. But everybody sees it as important. This is the highest honor they have earned in exchange for their lives, no matter how large the scale of this team that can fly and fight in the future expands, the warrior who wears this small medal will be watched by everyone when he walks in the Han army.

Yuan Zhao looked at these hot-blooded men, and there were many feelings and guilt in his heart. In his unknown plan, the first batch of six hot air balloon models outside the Yumen Pass to be used in actual combat were actually used in the experimental nature of all of them.

In the era of the Han Empire thousands of years ago, he forcibly allowed such epoch-making things to appear on the battlefield, which was itself an act against the sky. Even if they are not afraid of being punished by God, the technical conditions are far from reaching the qualified level.

Even Yuan Zhao was not sure whether a person could sit on it and fly into the air or not survive it. Therefore, he rejected the eagerness of Li Ling, Ji Jia, Lu Jun, and Zhuo Yu with a stern attitude, they were all his personal disciples who had worked hard, and he couldn't joke with their lives.

"You're all good! In the future, the name of each and every one of you will be left in the history books. Take good care of your injuries, and on the day of Armageddon in the near future, you still need to show your might and fly in the sky again! ”

Yuan Zhao patted them on the shoulders one by one, as if they were invisible

The power is transmitted to everyone. The fifteen warriors who had experienced the test of life and death were instantly beaten.

"Yuanhou! When will we fight again? We can't wait......! ”

"It's two months at the fastest, and it's no more than three months at the latest...... The war in the Western Regions will end this spring. I hope that you, together with the Han army, will leave behind all the Persians who have come to the land of the East, so that they will not be able to return! ”

It was the first time they heard Yuan Zhao say the battle time so accurately, and the Flying Dragon Warriors were surprised, and they all shouted in unison.

"Yuanhou is mighty! The Han Empire was mighty...... Wansheng! Wan Sheng......! ”

When the armoured men of the Han army near and far heard this majestic voice, they also shouted in unison. Soon, with the rising sun of Dongfang Tong, the entire Han army camp was boiling in this New Year's glow.

In such an atmosphere, Yuan Zhao ordered Li Ling to gather five thousand elite cavalry, he stepped on the war horse first, pulled out the famous sword of the cadre that had not been unsheathed for many years, and turned around and asked lightly.

"Come with me to the front of the Wuwei Persian army, do you dare?"

The 5,000 Pixiu people, led by Li Ling, didn't say any nonsense. Five thousand Han swords were held high, shielding the light of the sun and the moon, and they shouted in unison.

"Kill!"

Dunhuang City opens, meteors are blowing, and flying horses are exhausted!

Hearing the news, Sima Xiangru, Zhang Qian, and Erwang, who hurried to the top of the city to watch, all looked at this most elite cavalry whose morale had reached its peak in disbelief, and in an instant, only a vague back remained. They really didn't understand what Yuan Zhao was going to do. Was it a temporary idea? Or was it premeditated?

There was a Persian secret sentry lurking in the distance, and the police information that appeared in Dunhuang City was transmitted back to the Wuwei Persian army at the first time.

It was early in the morning, and the king of Persia had just gotten up under the service of a group of beautiful dancing queens who followed him. Although it is said that several battles with the Han army suffered heavy losses, and did not get any benefits. But he wasn't worried at all.

What are people afraid of when they die? There are four or five hundred thousand samurai out there who serve him loyally alone! The reason why he stationed troops here and did not rush to start a decisive battle with the opposite Han army was just waiting for news from the other two sides.

In the eyes of the king of Persia, although the Han army fought in many ways, this world was won by strength. When the time comes, hundreds of thousands of troops will be dispatched together, and everything in front of them will be crushed. There are less than 50,000 horses on the other side, and if he doesn't trample them all into meat sauce, he doesn't deserve the title of king of kings in the world!

And just when he was in a good mood as he tasted delicious food surrounded by bewitching beauties. Suddenly, I heard a report from the generals that a cavalry from the Han Dynasty had come to Wuwei County. Just outside the camp, I didn't know what I wanted to do.

The king of Persia was immediately interested. He really wanted to see with his own eyes what such a bold Han general looked like.

So, not long after, the head of Wuwei County, the king of Persia, who would never have thought of his future end, finally met the enemy of his fate and that of the entire Persian race.
