When another round of grass began to grow vigorously between the beacon fire and the smoke, when the dead warriors began to rot under the yellow sand, time passed quietly, and the fierce battlefield gradually faded away. Yumen Pass to the east of Wuwei County, the most vast part of the Western Regions, although it has been waiting for the best time of the year, the dry wind mixed with sand hitting the face always makes people feel very uncomfortable.

"The yellow sand is far above the white clouds, a lonely city and ten thousand mountains. Why should Qiang Di complain about the willows, the spring breeze does not pass the jade gate. ”

The sun is sunny, and the endless days are extremely rare. Weather like today's is even rarer. The young commander who commanded the most elite army of the 130,000 Han Empire was so excited that his casual sentences immediately won a heartfelt admiration.

This is the remnant of the Qilian Mountains, the rolling mountains and Wuwei County in the distance, which was originally the barrier of that important city, and now, because the Han army camp has advanced here, it has become the most threatening place for the Persian base camp of Wuwei County.

The camp at the foot of the mountain is magnificent, occupying a place of dozens of miles, waving flags, and bright swords, armor and firearms. And high on the mountain, the generals of the Han army and those imperial elites who were following Yuan Zhao to look at the Persian base camp from afar recited the poems of the Yuan Marquis to each other, and in addition to admiration or admiration in their hearts. In fact, not only them, but even the two princes of the clan and Taishi Ling Sima Qian and others are all good sentences for Yuan Zhao to be able to export the chapter, and they are also convinced.

"Most of the works of Yuanhou have always been majestic and desolate, and it is exciting to read! I have discussed the mystery with many scholars of the royal palace who are highly accomplished in literature, but I have always been puzzled. Hehe! Everyone really can't think of where Yuanhou is the teacher, so that he can learn this Wen Tao Wuluo is unparalleled in the world! ”

Liu Dan, the king of Yan, looked at Yuan Zhao with a smile, and some untraceable flattery came out casually. This is not only his heartfelt words, but also the same feeling of many people.

Yuan Zhao, this genius of heaven, when he was born, many people can't remember clearly, but at the same time, many more people remember it very clearly.

That year, a legend circulated in Chang'an that the Empress Dowager Dou had a dream. That dream was entrusted to her by Emperor Xiandiwen. This emperor who used his benevolence to stabilize an era on the verge of danger, after returning to Taixu, felt the difficulties in the world, worried about the vicissitudes of future generations, and specially invited auspiciousness for the Han Dynasty to benefit the common people in the world.

At the time, people thought it was just a false idea. And it was precisely that young man who walked into Chang'an in the autumn breeze. So, the prelude to an unprecedented prosperity began...... Until today, it has been more than 20 years.

Twenty years, for most ordinary people, is just a process from youth to prime of life. They took wives and had children, and they had offspring. Repeat the cycle and fulfill the ordinary mission of being a human being. And for this country, which already has a population of tens of millions, it is gradually being reborn and truly becoming a super prosperous empire.

As royal nobles, King Yan and King Guangling have the opportunity to know more about this than other outsiders. I also know more about the cruel price buried behind the glorious and prosperous era.

No one knows better than them what kind of hard heart the person in front of him has under the gentle appearance. Sometimes they talk in secret, and the horror and fear in their hearts are indescribable.

These twenty years

, how many royal nobles and powerful people have fallen in his hands? If you comb it from the beginning, I am afraid that it will be difficult for anyone to rise up to the idea of confronting this person.

There were many people who wanted to kill him, but without exception, they all ended in tragedy. After a long time, King Yan and King Guangling vaguely knew that their father, Liu Che, who was nicknamed Emperor Wu, had also personally arranged a sophisticated killing game, wanting to kill Yuan Zhao and completely eliminate the hidden worries about the future in their hearts.

But even this emperor, who had the heart of an emperor, ultimately failed. Yuan Zhao is safe and sound in the world, but the emperor has gone to his Maoling, and the darkness is ...... forever.

There is no evidence in the world that can prove that the death of Emperor Wu of the former Emperor has anything to do with Yuan Zhao, but in the hearts of many people, they will never believe that Yuan Zhao's eyes that can see everything will not detect the danger around the emperor in advance. And if the departure of the emperor who was so happy and self-righteous was a cold bystander and happy to see the consequences, the relationship behind this would be too complicated. No one dares to think about it, and no one dares to say a word about their own speculation.

If you are smart enough, if you analyze what Yuan Zhao has done over the years, you will understand that this person's internal and external power struggle, all the goals are for the stability and strength of the country behind him. This is undoubtedly an awe-inspiring feeling, but it is also a terrible faith. This means that he can do whatever it takes to maintain this purpose.

King Yan and King Guangling are two smart people. Or rather, they had an excellent shogunate team. Ever since witnessing the tragic fate of several princes of the clan, they have restrained their ambitions. Especially after the two princes who were the most promising to challenge the throne heir status all died young, they were completely terrified and died.

It was for this reason that they followed him on this path when Yuan Zhao had revealed to them a long time ago, whether intentionally or seemingly unintentionally, his plans for the expedition to the west.

"As long as there is no obstacle to the peaceful and stable development of the Han Dynasty, Yuan Zhao will strongly agree with and help...... Therefore, the future of the two princes should stay away from the Han Dynasty and be the king outside the territory! And with the help of the western expedition of the Han army, it is the right time to achieve hegemony! ”

This was the most sincere opinion given by the huge shogunate team to King Yan and King Guangling. They thought so. Therefore, when they came to the Western Regions again from their respective fiefdoms, they brought not only the military power at hand, but also all their family resources. These two princes have already made up their minds to follow Yuan Zhao to fight. If you succeed, you will definitely be able to create a foundation. Even if it fails, it doesn't matter much, at most they can come back and be their king.

Yuan Zhao is still very polite to the two brothers who are today. As long as he is a person who knows measure, he has never hesitated to help. Since they have a pioneering heart, he will naturally help them achieve their wishes. After all, everyone is of Chinese blood, descendants of Yan and Huang.

"The two princes have won the prize. I'm just doing my best...... Hehe! So, are you all ready? ”

Yuan Zhao smiled faintly and looked at the two royal nobles with excited faces. He believes they all know what they're asking.

"Yuanhou rest assured! Now that His Majesty the Emperor has agreed, we have no further worries

worries. On the day we left Chang'an, we had already made up our minds to follow the army of the Marquis of Yuan to the Western Continent and do our best to make it a place of influence for the Chinese ethnic group for generations to come. ”

"Now, do you have any concerns?"

"Absolutely none! I really didn't expect that Yuanhou used soldiers like a god, 150,000 Persian elites, and he was defeated so much overnight! Although Sun and Wu are resurrected, Guan and Le are reborn, it is difficult to compare! ”

Liu Xu, the king of Guangling, is also a conceited person, and as a royal prince, he has always been very proud. However, in front of Yuan Zhao, he behaved in accordance with the rules and did not dare to exceed half a point. Everyone can hear it, this is his heartfelt admiration. And that's exactly what other people really think.

Facing the gaze of thousands of pairs of eyes, Yuan Zhao just shook his head. He said calmly.

"These victories are actually the credit of the soldiers. Without their bloody battles, it would have been easier said than done to defeat the Persians in such a short time! ”

The wind blows from afar, carrying the breath of ice and snow in the Tianshan Mountains, as well as the majestic and heroic Qilian Mountains. Yuan Zhao waved his hand, signaling that everyone didn't have to say these flattering words anymore. Because, the martial arts war that is about to start, he has already made a bamboo in his chest. There are some strategic deployments, and now we have to make them understand.

"After the Battle of Liushakou, the total strength of the Persian base camp did not exceed 200,000. And among them, the elite and capable fighters will be halved...... Hehe! If you look at the comparison of troops alone, the Han army has an absolute advantage. If you add the combined armies of the Western Regions, the Persian base camp is already besieged, and the combat effectiveness of the warriors is probably greatly reduced. Moreover, their supply of food and grass was cut off for many days. This is the perfect time for us to go all out. ”

When Yuan Zhao said this, the surrounding soldiers couldn't wait. The recent victory in the Battle of Liushakou was the largest battle organized by the Han Dynasty army in recent years. And the results achieved were so brilliant that people were excited and eager for the battle against the Persian base camp.

"The latest battle reports received are also good news...... On the northern steppe beyond the Great Wall, General Wei has also launched an attack on the Persian North Route Army at the same time, and has achieved remarkable results in several battles, and I believe that the day of complete victory will not be too far away. And if there are no accidents, calculate the date, our warship formation of the Han Dynasty is likely to have seen the marginal land of the southern branch peninsula of the western continent by now. ”

Yuan Zhao's narration was very plain, as if he was talking about a few ordinary things. However, the blood of everyone around is already boiling. No one will stand up to such demagoguery.

"Fight! War! War...... Capture the king of Persia alive! The Han army wins! The Han Empire wins! ”

Whether it is a general raising a sword or a counselor chanting with raised arms, their voices are unified and full of endless power.
