Chapter 109: The Covenant of Closure

The envoy of the Yuwen royal family left Mozhou, and he took away the matter of Yu Xuan's agreement to attack the Southern Xinjiang Empire with the Yuwen Imperial Alliance in the northeast, as for the next details, there will be two monarchs to negotiate, and finally they determined the place where the two monarchs met in the closed city.

The closed city, in the southeast of Jiayuguan, is the junction of the Dahua Empire and the Yuwen royal family in the northeast and the southern Xinjiang empire, the real power is in the hands of the Yuwen royal family in the northeast, and the closed city is also the border city of the Yuwen royal family in the northeast, where the Lu family army of the Yuwen family of more than 100,000 is stationed. Yu Xuan chose to meet here because he felt that this place was good, the people were outstanding, and the lockdown was also the junction of the northwest and the north, and it was an ancient city with a long history.

The ancestors of the Lu family in the city once followed the ancestors of the Yuwen royal family to conquer the world, and later were divided into the king of Muyang, and the closed generation was rewarded to the Lu family, so that they lived here for generations, guarding the northern territory of the Western Xia Empire, after several generations of hard work, the Lu family developed a peak here, supporting hundreds of thousands of troops, ruling a large area of land in the north, but they have always been loyal, sworn allegiance to the Yuwen family, after the fall of the Western Xia Empire, they still follow the few Yuwen royal families, The chivalrous courage of the Lu family has also won the respect of the people of the world, so Yu Xuan chose the location of the alliance to seal the city.

The good news brought back by the envoys of the Yuwen royal family also made the Yuwen family in the northeast happy, they finally found a strong ally, but the Yuwen family also hurriedly convened a clan meeting, and their own clansmen have discussed how to form an alliance with the Dahua Empire, they have discussed for a long time, there is an oh hope to form an alliance to the south, naturally there are those who oppose the alliance, they think that the Dahua Empire is indeed strong, but once the Southern Xinjiang Empire is destroyed, how to divide the territory is also a problem, and the strength of the Dahua Empire is also clear to them, it will definitely not be weaker than the Southern Xinjiang Empire or even much stronger than them, otherwise the Southern Xinjiang Empire will not endure coming, and may have sent troops to destroy them a long time ago.

A group of civil officials chattered together, you say a word, the discussion is very lively, at this time the supreme ruler of the Northeast Yuwen royal family is Yuwen Xiaoxue, although she is a weak woman, but her mind is very smart, better than all the men of the Yuwen family, so some men of the Yuwen family support her as the patriarch of the Northeast Yuwen family, Yuwen Xiaoxue's father Yuwen Gang died of anger after the loss of Longcheng, his younger brother Yuwen Feihu has a good martial arts, but he has no interest in governing the country, However, he helped Yuwen Xiaoxue manage all the troops, and the king of the Northeast who was originally in the northeast could support the overall situation, but he was assassinated, and the entire Yuwen royal family could not find a few capable rulers, and in desperation, he could only rely on Yuwen Xiaoxue to dominate the overall situation. The task of reviving the Yuwen family's Western Xia Empire also fell on Yuwen Xiaoxue.

Yuwen Xiaoxue also lives up to expectations, she is very serious about governing and managing the Northeast region, here fully embodies the truth that a woman is stronger than a man, under his governance, the Northeast Army has expanded by more than half of the original, until now the ten legions of more than 500,000 soldiers and horses, she pushed the army of the Northeast region to a peak, under her governance the Northeast region has a bumper harvest every year, the people here have been a bumper harvest for two consecutive years, the food is also very sufficient, and the whole people are living and working in peace and contentment, so Yuwen Xiaoxue has also received an excellent evaluation. She was also loved and loved by all the people, and all regarded her as a goddess.

After a few days of discussion, the Yuwen family in the northeast sent a team of envoys to Mozhou to discuss some more detailed matters, and Yu Xuan and they were not idle, and they had already discussed a set of countermeasures together. At the same time, he is also preparing to send his envoys to the Northeast region to discuss with the Yuwen family, as the saying goes, 'courtesy is still exchanged'!

In the end, after they sent envoys to each other to discuss, they decided that two monarchs would go to the city to seal the city and sign an agreement, so the Yuwen family and the Dahua Empire formed an alliance, this whole thing was done very carefully and secretly, but it was still listened to by the spies of the Southern Xinjiang Empire, and the Sima family of the Southern Xinjiang Empire was very frightened when they knew, and it was already difficult to deal with the Dahua Empire alone, if they were to add the Yuwen family in the northeast, they must not be allowed to form an alliance, otherwise it would be a real nightmare for their Southern Xinjiang Empire.

The Sima family of the Southern Xinjiang Empire sent a large number of spies to inquire about the alliance between the Dahua Empire and the Sima Imperial Family, and the emperor Sima Shi asked his nephew Sima Haotian to lead a group of masters to the closed city, and they were ambushed in the closed city, once the Yuwen royal family and the monarch of the Dahua Empire appeared, they were assassinated here, which could cause contradictions between the two forces, but it was a clever plan to kill two birds with one stone, and at the same time Sima Lei led tens of thousands of elites of the Southern Xinjiang Empire to meet Sima Haotian at any time.

At this time, the lockdown was also on alert, and the number of defenders in the lockdown doubled, and they strictly checked all passers-by, for fear that there would be lawbreakers who would infiltrate the lockdown and bring damage to the alliance this time.

Yu Xuan also sent out one of his own guards, they came to the lockdown early, but they didn't come with much fanfare, they secretly pretended to be businessmen and all kinds of people to sneak into the lockdown, they wanted to secretly check the lockdown situation, although the Dahua Empire was a Yuwen royal alliance, but Yu Xuan knew that the heart of harming people should not be prevented, and it was better to be careful in everything.

The closure of the city is under the rule of the Yuwen royal family, they just sent a large number of troops here, after all, the ceremony of the two alliances is also held here, in case something happens, the consequences are unimaginable, so Yuwen Xiaoxue sent out a few powerful assistants around him, fully responsible for the security of the city, the city lord of the city is also very cooperative, he fully supports, and sent his own army to assist them in the city-wide inventory, all those who are suspicious are all controlled, and the city is also panicked for a while, However, the original residents of the lockdown did not have much impact, just some outsiders, they were controlled, there was no freedom, as long as they were given freedom after the end of the alliance ceremony between the Dahua Empire and the Yuwen Imperial Family, the patrol guards on the closed city street have also increased by as much as half, the original patrol once or twice a day, now patrolling more than ten times a day, there are cavalry in the patrol team, they are very serious, and if they find suspicious people, they will be caught immediately, and once they resist, they can be executed on the spot.

Although the matter of the alliance between the Dahua Empire and the Yuwen Imperial Family has been carried out in secret, I don't know if there is a problem there, it has been known to all the forces in the world, and there is no impermeable wall in the world, this earth-shattering news has been spread all of a sudden, and many forces have begun to fidget, which is definitely not good news!

The Southern Frontier Empire has sent a large number of assassins to assassinate them, and some other forces have also sent their own spies to find out about the alliance between these two powerful forces. They really want to know what is the main purpose of the alliance of these two powerful forces? Many forces know that these two forces are at odds with the Sima family's Southern Xinjiang Empire, and they hate each other, and this alliance will definitely deal with the Southern Xinjiang Empire, but they can't be gullible, once they destroy the Southern Xinjiang Empire to destroy themselves, it will definitely be over!

Once the Southern Frontier Empire is wiped out by them, will it attack other forces, this is also a matter of concern to other forces! If it were to make a move, they might choose to ally with the Southern Xinjiang Empire and deal with the conquest of the Yuwen Imperial Family and the Dahua Empire together, and no one wanted to perish.

In the winter of the second year of Xuanwu, there were several heavy snowfalls, as the saying goes, Ruixue is a good year, it seems that there will be a good harvest next year, more than a year, Yu Xuan's materials in Mozhou are almost lost! I have to hurry up and add it, this place in the northwest is arid and poor, and the harvest is not much, so there is no way to collect it from the local people, so I can only go to other places to buy it, but the granary of the world is in the Wujiang area ruled by the Southern Xinjiang Empire, but after Yu Xuan and the Southern Xinjiang Empire had a bad relationship, the Southern Xinjiang Empire also blocked some trade routes to the Dahua Empire, and some precious materials could not be transported in, which also brought some trouble to Yu Xuan's Dahua Empire!

Since you dare to blockade, I will have a way to get food, and I can't just wait to starve to death! No, Yu Xuancai chose to form an alliance with the Yuwen Imperial Family in the northeast, and the two of them attacked the Southern Empire together, attacking from both sides in the east and west, so that they could not take care of each other when the time came. Defeat the Southern Xinjiang Empire in one fell swoop, at that time you can divide the world equally, Yu Xuan wants to occupy the Wujiang region of the Southern Xinjiang Empire, where the land is fertile and there is a lot of food, which can completely solve the problem of insufficient food, Wujiang is not only the granary of the world, but also a place where soldiers must fight since ancient times.

Just when the snow in the northwest has not melted, a cavalry set off from Mozhou Cheng, heading towards the closure of the city, the main cavalry is about 5,000 people, none of the war horses are very strong, the soldiers on the war horses are all unyielding, unified black armor, wearing a unified steel knife or spear, they are guarding Yu Xuanru blockade of the city of multiple guards, the northwest wind is more beating, Yu Xuan did not ride a war horse, but hid in the carriage, the team is slowly walking towards the closure of the city.

Not far from the closure of the city, there are three hidden armies, to be exact, two clans, in addition to the army that sealed the city, the other two clans were secretly transferred. Stationed in three different places, they are the Yuwen Imperial Family and the armies of the Dahua Empire and the Southern Frontier Empire, and the entire lockdown is also in a kind of depression, although it is quiet on the surface, but smart people already feel that this is just the calm before the storm!

The day of the alliance ceremony is getting closer and closer, and the inventory of the lockdown is becoming more and more strict, and some people with weapons have also begun to be investigated, unless there is a certificate from the city lord's mansion and a public person, weapons are not allowed to be brought.
