Chapter 118: The Triple Alliance
Far away in the southwest of the Dangchang City Palace, it is facing a test of life and death. In a glorious palace, Emperor Chun sat firmly on the throne above the main hall and looked down on the two people who knelt down.
These two were Situ Shangguan Shaowen and Sikong Ruidong of the current dynasty, and Emperor Chun Yu inquired about the origin of the assassin weapons as soon as he returned to the court. Ruidong was the first to be summoned to the palace as the first person responsible, and Shangguan Shaowen was summoned to the palace immediately after.
Although Ruidong and the others did not capture Lin Tian, they did not find nothing on the issue of that batch of weapons. Ruidong had just ascended to the throne, and he was cautious and meticulous in his work, and after receiving the order of Emperor Chunyu, he sent personnel to the extreme north to collect information about Beiyi.
After failing to catch Lin Tian, now this is the only explanation he can give to Emperor Chun Yu, and save his life. Although Situ Fu is better at spying on news, the news of Beiyi has also been heard a lot in the Phantom Yan Country. Yidi has long had trade contacts with the Phantom Flame Country, so you can also get a lot of news about Beiyi in the north of the Phantom Flame Country.
Beiyi did not sell their own equipment, but there were a lot of iron tools, not to mention knives and daggers. Although the quantity is not much, the quality of the iron products from Beiyi has always been superior. Through the spies, Redon was also able to obtain a dagger from Beiyi, which proved to be of the same quality as the last confiscated Assassin weapon.
verified the news that the weapon was indeed from Beiyi, and Ruidong also used this to temporarily save his life and the official hat on his head. As early as a few days before Emperor Chun Yu returned, Ruidong and Shangguan Shaowen discussed countermeasures.
"You let me send troops from the country of Yu through the Tao, where did the food, grass, soldiers and horses come from? Trekking thousands of miles, who leads the troops? ”
Emperor Chun Yu, who was sitting on the throne, did not look at any waves, Ruidong and Shangguan Shaowen seemed to have been prepared, as courtiers, they not only had to put forward plans, but also be responsible for all aspects of the implementation plan.
The two of them are planning to borrow the power of the overlord of the Canghan Empire to deter the Great Luo Kingdom and the Kingdom of Yu, not only to borrow from their own country, but also to ask them to send troops and grain and grass together.
Da Luo is located inland, located in the west, due to the geographical location, for many years has been attached to the Canghan Empire, paying tribute every year. Although it does not have the name of a vassal state, it does have the reality of a vassal state. The Great Luo Kingdom originated from the Luo family, which can be said to be a country with one surname. Although Da Luo is one of the kingdoms, it can live inland, far to the west, and is destined to prosper.
The former king of the Great Luo Kingdom was not without efforts, but after the strong rise of the Canghan Empire, he was basically reduced to a vassal for the next hundred years. Da Luo is pressed by the Canghan Empire above, and there is a strong Teng State on the side, basically he is besieged and cannot develop outward.
Especially after Canghan annexed many countries in the southwest and became an empire, Da Luo was even more cautious, for fear that Canghan's next target would be himself, and finally he had to curry favor with Canghan and pay tribute every year, just to keep Luo's foundation.
After simply experiencing a brutal annexation war, the Canghan Empire was constrained by the Longlan Empire, and the two empires were adjacent to each other and restrained each other, and then under the leadership of the two empires, a convention was reached not to carry out annexation wars. Although there is no actual written text in this convention, the oral agreement has a strong effect. After that, for example, the third-order monarchies concluded an alliance in writing, and the weak united to resist the strong, and the strong had mutual scruples, so that peace was achieved for a hundred years.
Since then, the Great Luo Kingdom has survived the annexation war, but this big tiger is sleeping next to him, how can he make the Great Luo Kingdom sleep peacefully, and the subsequent generations of the Great Luo Kingdom will pay tribute to the Canghan Empire to show goodwill.
Ruidong and Shangguan Shaowen planned to send troops from the Kingdom of Yu and travel north to conquer Beiyi. wants to unite the Great Luo Kingdom and the Yu Kingdom to send troops together, so that Canghan does not have to pay too much price. The plan in their minds was to prepare to send a cavalry force of 50,000 men to the north. The 50,000-strong cavalry of the Canghan Empire is very easy to come up with, but if a cavalry force of 50,000 is dispatched, it will not only arouse the jealousy of the Great Luo Kingdom and the Yu Kingdom, but also increase the burden of the Canghan. Especially for long marches, the supply of grain and grass will cause great consumption.
The cavalry force of 50,000 people is enough to make the Great Luo Kingdom and the Yu Kingdom jealous, if they borrow the way, but occupy it, who can they talk to. Emperor Chunyu's domineering is well known, whoever has a big fist in this world is justified, and no matter how much you criticize and write, you can't hurt Emperor Chunyu in the slightest.
Emperor Chun Yu agreed to Ruidong and Shangguan Shaowen's plan, and planned to send the two orders to Daluo and Yu respectively. Here, Emperor Chunyu sent it to the Great Luo Kingdom and the Kingdom of Yu in the situation of the will, not in the situation of the national letter, and was not sent to the envoys, but only by messengers. Emperor Chun Yu is so domineering, I am afraid that in his eyes, Da Luo Guo and Yu Guo are already his ministers.
When the Great Luo Kingdom received the letter from Emperor Chunyu, King Luo Ling dared to be angry but did not dare to speak, and the messenger retreated. Luo Ling, the son of King Luo Ling and the crown prince of the dynasty, was furious, "Father, does he treat us as his courtiers?" If you call it, you will come and go, but our Daluo country is also a kingdom, and he is ...... like this."
"Shut up, do you want our Luo family foundation to be ruined?"
King Luo Ling roared, and Luo Ling, who was frightened, didn't dare to speak. In his heart, he was dissatisfied with the behavior of his father, King Luo Ling, who repeatedly retreated and avoided the Canghan Empire, but the result in exchange was that the other party repeatedly gained an inch. In the past, the Canghan Empire did to the Da Luo Kingdom in the past, and the two countries intersected and exchanged in the form of national letters. But what now? Sending a letter, as if it were an edict, and no matter what the edict said, the mere form of the edict made him deeply resentful.
King Luo Ling retired from the crown prince, and read the edict sent by Emperor Chunyu over and over again, the content of which made King Luo Ling even more angry, his eyes wanted to breathe fire, and he didn't know how many objects in the house were smashed, and the anger gradually subsided. In fact, King Luo Ling's temperament is very gentle, and it is rare for him to be so angry as he is today.
However, for the sake of his ancestors' inheritance, he has always made concessions to the Canghan Empire, in fact, King Luo Ling also knows why he can ascend to the throne. He was originally the last prince, and if it weren't for his father's view that he was gentle and able to keep his business, I am afraid that this throne would not have been his turn. If the Great Luo Kingdom wants to survive, the foundation of the Luo family ancestors must be passed on, and now it is necessary to have people who can keep their business and be able to handle the relationship with the Canghan Empire.
At this stage, preserving oneself is the most important thing, if you change to a radical person and get into trouble with the Canghan Empire, I'm afraid it will be difficult for the Luo family to exist. This is the truth, if the Canghan Empire really wants to clean up the Luo family, it can be said that it doesn't take much effort. Da Luo is a poor country, as long as the Canghan Empire puts pressure on the surroundings of Da Luo and does not allow trading with Da Luo, I am afraid that it will be difficult to meet its own needs with the domestic production of Da Luo.
Thinking of this, King Luo Ling also had the final answer in his heart, and he also had a new arrangement for his Luo Ling. He will arrange Luo Ling to be the chief general this time, which is a test for him by King Luo Ling, testing whether he can take on the great responsibility of the Great Luo Kingdom, whether he can take over his own class, and keep the ancestral foundation of the Luo family.
In other words, why the country of Da Luo was founded, it is the location of the country of Da Luo, there is a good pasture, suitable for raising horses, and it is a high-class horse. So the cavalry of the Great Luo Kingdom can be regarded as the top existence among the countries, but unfortunately due to the restrictions of the development of the Great Luo Kingdom, the Great Luo Kingdom cannot raise a huge army, so he naturally has no capital to compete with others.
This scene also appeared in the palace of the Kingdom of Qiu, but it is a pity that the capital of the Kingdom of Qiu is not as good as that of the Great Luo Kingdom, and what can he do with the monarch of the Kingdom of Qiu. Although the Kingdom of Yu and the Canghan Empire are separated by the Great Luo Kingdom, they cannot directly threaten the Kingdom of Qiu, but the Great Luo Kingdom has long taken refuge in the Canghan. It is not difficult for the Canghan Empire to borrow troops from the Great Luo Kingdom, and the Kingdom of Yu naturally does not dare to disobey Emperor Chunyu's intentions.
The joint request for this time is a total of 50,000 troops, the three families are 20,000 troops from the Canghan Empire, 20,000 from the Great Luo State, and 10,000 from the Yu Kingdom. What made the kings of the two countries even more unbearable was that they had to bear their own food, grass and weapons, which made them unacceptable.
As the initiating country, the Canghan Empire did not bear the grain and grass, and the Great Luo Kingdom and the Yu Kingdom were already poor, and if they had to engage in such a war, the cost would be even greater, so that the country would be even more miserable.
The only thing that could comfort the two countries was the conditions promised by the Canghan Empire, agreeing to occupy Beiyi, and the land they obtained would be handed over to the Kingdom of Yu, which was too far away from the mainland to be honest, and the three countries were not interested. The Beiyi slaves obtained after that were divided between the three families, which the three countries were still very interested in. The Canghan Empire was divided into fifty percent, the Great Luo Kingdom was divided into forty percent, and the Yu Kingdom was only divided into one percent of the land.
Yu Guo felt very aggrieved, but he shouted grievances, and who would promote him for him. People are stronger than you, so people get more benefits than you by virtue of their ability.
A month later, a heavily armed cavalry set out from Dangchang City and marched towards the Great Luo Kingdom, first entering the territory of the Great Luo Kingdom, converging with the soldiers and horses of the Great Luo Kingdom, and then entering the territory of the Kingdom of Qiu and the soldiers and horses of the Kingdom of Qiu, so far 50,000 Northern Expeditionary Army was formed.
The news that the Canghan Empire united with the Great Luo Kingdom and the Yu Kingdom to send troops did not hide it from the people of the world, and it was impossible to hide it, how could such a big move be hidden?
At first, the world was trembling, fearing the arrival of another annexation war, another era of world war. Naturally, there are righteous people among the people of the world, who denounce the Three Kingdoms for sending troops and want to provoke trouble. After that, the Three Kingdoms issued a statement based on the Canghan Empire, and the Three Kingdoms Alliance Army was going north to carry out the Northern Expedition, and in the statement announced various crimes of Beiyi, anyway, all the bad things were said.
In fact, it is not this statement, the vast majority of people in the world do not know the existence of Beiyi, seeing that the Three Kingdoms Alliance is to conquer the Beiyi barbarians, everyone has calmed down, in their hearts Beiyi The kind of wild land is conquered by them, it is the honor of Beiyi, they will bring advanced culture, and lead them to prosperity and evolution.
