Chapter 127: Ambition

Weiguo, an important town in the north, Pingyan City.

Autumn goes to the winter solstice, the sky begins to get cold, standing on the city wall and looking down on the earth, you can even see the yellow leaves in the trees in the distance, when the wind rises, the leaves rise, circling and flying, very spectacular.

Liu Xiu stood alone on the city wall, standing with his hands in his hands, looking at the great rivers and mountains in front of him, and looking at the boundless, vast and vast plains in the north.

To the north of the plain is the mountains, and behind the mountains is the wilderness, and on that wilderness has inhabited the empire's enemies for generations.

The two countries seem to have a deep-rooted hatred, how many soldiers have died on the battlefield for hundreds of years, filling the wilderness with good lives, and smearing the earth with crimson blood!

Liu Xiuwei closed his eyes, listened to the sound of the military flag in his ears, watched the soldiers defending the city in front of him running back and forth, and took a deep breath.

Feeling the wind blowing on the battlefield, he sighed in his heart: This is the life he wants.

A good man should be on the battlefield, carry a three-foot long sword, lead a million male soldiers, gallop on horseback, step on the bloody world, break countless cities, become the great cause of thousands of emperors, and be the hero of thousands of years!

He raised his head, closed his eyes and listened to the wind, and after a while, he released his clenched fist and opened his eyes.

The country is not just beaten down.

"Your Highness," At this moment, Wan Yan Shuo came up from the entrance of Dengcheng, walked quickly behind Liu Xiu, and saluted: "News has come from Luojing City that the imperial army has begun to move towards the Hanshu border. ”

Liu Xiu's eyes flashed, turned around, and said, "Have you already moved to the border?" ”

He pondered for a while, then suddenly spoke, "If Wei Yan starts a war, how many soldiers and horses in the empire can be used to gallop to aid this king?" ”

After Yan Shuo pondered for a while, shook his head and said: "The empire also has troops stationed on the Weihan border, but I think this is more like the emperor's defensive measures for fearing that after our army is defeated, the Yan State will take advantage of the situation to attack the country, and there are not many people, but only about 50,000." ”

Liu Xiu nodded, looked back at the northern land, and said to Yan Shuo:

"Fifty thousand," he shook his head, and suddenly changed the subject, saying:

"What's going on in the Broken Leaf City of the Northern Yan Capital?"

Yan Shuo pondered for a moment and replied: "Lang Lie, the spy in charge of Broken Leaf City, was personally planted by His Royal Highness, and he hasn't given me any news yet, but other spies have sporadic news coming to Pingyan City."

Liu Xiu raised her eyebrows, turned her head and said, "Lang Lie has been gone for so long, hasn't there been any news yet?" ”

Wan Yanshuo nodded.

Liu Xiu's eyes froze, he thought for a moment and shook his head, and said: "Lang Lie is cautious, he will be fine if he thinks about it, and now the sky is not too cold to start a war, just wait for him, what news have the other spies sent back?" ”

Wan Yan Shuo said: "Emperor Yan Murong Dan used Shangguan Yu in the southern domain town as the general of Dangkou, and conquered the rest of the domain towns, and he was about to send troops. ”

Liu Xiu's eyes flashed, and he said in a deep voice: "Then who will guard the fixed edge?" ”

Wan Yan Shuo's eyes showed doubts, shook his head and replied: "At this time, there is no main general in Dingbian City."

After hearing this, Liu Xiu pondered for a while and said, "What do you think Murong Dan means?" ”

Wan Yan Shuo seemed to have expected Liu Xiu to ask this question, and immediately replied: "The forces of the feudal towns in the Yan Kingdom have already been wiped out by Murong Dan in a very short period of time, and even Shangguan Yu in Dingbian has been called to Broken Leaf to standby, it can be said that the forces that can threaten his throne have been swept away, and now he deliberately let Shangguan Yu lead his troops to crusade against other feudal towns, leaving Dingbian without an owner, as if he deliberately let us attack." ”

After speaking, he looked at Liu Xiu and saw that he was still standing with his hands in his hands, his expression remained unchanged, his eyes were far-reaching, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

There was a moment of silence.

After a while, Liu Xiu suddenly opened his mouth and said lightly:

"What do you think are the odds of winning if we take the initiative to go to war?"

Wan Yanshuo was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously looked at Liu Xiu, only to see that his eyes were as deep as water, and there was no expression on his handsome and resolute face, as indifferent as asking an ordinary thing.

The wind blowing from the north suddenly became stronger, and a cool air came to the face, and the eternal wind was heavy, which was carrying hundreds of years of grievances!

I don't know when it will stop completely and stop blowing south.

He was just about to speak, when he glanced at Liu Xiu's hands and seemed to be trembling slightly, his heart sank, and he suddenly realized that the seemingly calm person in front of him would also be nervous!

It seems to bear the burden of changing the pattern of the Three Kingdoms, and at this moment, it is all on him.

People all over the world are unintentionally waiting for him to make a decision that is enough to affect a hundred years and thousands of years, but for him, it is to succeed and step out of the road to unification, and defeat will lose confidence and even collapse.

On the city wall, Liu Xiu stood in the wind, his expression was indifferent, at a glance, in a trance, as if Liu Xiu was the only one standing alone in the world, standing at the highest place in the world, looking down on everything.

He took a deep breath, suppressed the chaotic thoughts in his heart, and replied: "Murong Dan seems to be deliberately waiting for our army to go north to attack the city, I'm afraid he has already prepared, and he mobilized the army of Yan on the grounds of crusade and rebellion, ostensibly to attack the feudal town, but in fact to deal with the army of our empire, and the battlefield is in the enemy country, it is only for Murong Dan, the supply of grain and grass is very convenient, and the soldiers are holding their breath because of the defeat of the last battle, if they go north, they will definitely think that our army has no one in their eyes, the bullying is too much, and the morale is naturally high, Your Highness, There are still several high mountains blocking the road on the road of our army's Northern Expedition, if you cross the mountains to the north, it is also a hidden worry for the soldiers. ”

After speaking, he lowered his head and waited for Liu Xiu to speak.

Liu Xiu's eyes darkened, but he instantly returned to his original state, nodded, and said lightly: "Then what do you think our chances are?" ”

Wan Yan Shuo suddenly raised his head, looked at Liu Xiu, and replied after hesitating: "Less than thirty percent." ”

Liu Xiu's eyes flashed after hearing this, he fell silent, and he didn't say a word, Wan Yanshuo looked at Liu Xiu, and saw that his face was as usual, and he couldn't guess what he was thinking at the moment.

After a while, Liu Xiu suddenly turned around, looked at the vast land outside the city, facing the wind blowing from the north, and took a deep breath, in the wind, his voice came over leisurely, and reached Wan Yanshuo's ears: "Beiyan is a barren land, an ancient wilderness, worthless, but I still want to lay down there, occupy the broken leaves, let the emperor be a minister, and the people bow down, do you know why?" ”

Wan Yan Shuo followed and took a step forward, but as soon as he walked to Liu Xiu's side, the wall was in the wind, and suddenly he stood unsteadily, and took a few steps back, he didn't expect that the wind in the north was so fierce!

But Liu Xiu stood for a long time with a weak body, let the wind blow, stood for a long time, the corner of his eyes jumped, stabilized his body, and stepped forward again, the north wind mixed with a little gravel, plopping on his face, like a knife cut.

He took a breath, and like Liu Xiu, he faced the wind, looked at the vast earth, and replied: "If Your Highness wants to reach the top of the world, Yan Guo must step on the stone." ”

Liu Xiu smiled slightly, took his hand to the wind, and said: "Yes, only by ensuring the stability of Yan Wei and the two places, can I have enough energy to conquer the world and face the Shu Kingdom, and" He turned around, looked at Yan Shuo, pointed his finger to the south, and suddenly smiled:

"There is also the biggest enemy in the heart of this king, leaving the country and Tuoba family!"

Wan Yan Shuo held his breath in an instant, the green tendons on his head flared up, and after a while, he calmly replied: "It is indeed a lot of ambition to leave the country, especially for hundreds of years, the Tuoba family has been secretly arranged, not only the Han Kingdom, but even in the officialdom of other countries on the mainland, there are shadows of leaving the royal family, and even the Shadow Legion relied on by His Royal Highness is a chess piece used by the Tuoba family to plan."

Liu Xiu's eyes flashed, and he suddenly interrupted his words and said, "What about you?" ”

Wan Yan Shuo's body was shocked, he took a deep breath, pondered for a long time, and then gritted his teeth and replied: "If it is according to the emperor's original intention, I am also a chess piece arranged by your side." ”

Liu Xiu looked at him quietly, without saying a word, waiting for him to continue.

Wan Yan Shuo's pupils contracted slightly, and although Liu Xiu was silent, there was an unstoppable coercion on his body that gradually revealed himself, enveloping himself inside.

There was a feeling of heaviness in my heart.

After a while, he continued: "But I am not willing to be driven by others, especially just as a chess piece that will never come out, a chess piece that will be discarded when it is used up, I also want to make contributions, I want to open up the territory, conquer the world, go down in history, and be a legend in the mouth of the people through the ages." ”

Liu Xiu suddenly chuckled when he heard this, but there was no emotion in the laughter, as if this laughter was just to respond to Wan Yan Shuo's words, he turned his head, looked at Wan Yan Shuo, and said, "If you have the opportunity, will you replace me without mercy?" ”

After Yan Shuo heard these earth-shattering words, he took a step back uncontrollably, behind him was the city wall, behind him was the wind, there was no way to retreat, there was no way to avoid it, he only felt that his throat was dry, cold sweat flowed down, and he was blown away by the wind in an instant, and the coolness hit his heart, and an invisible deterrent force actually made him feel palpitations.

The indifferent but indifferent gaze never seemed to leave his body.

Wan Yanshuo took a deep breath, looked at the wind in front of him, his face was indifferent, he stood up straight, as if he had made up his mind, and replied resolutely: "I will." ”

Liu Xiu's face instantly turned cold, his cold gaze broke through the air like a blade, and almost instantly, he felt that his gaze was sharp, like a knife cut.

On the walls of Pingyan, under the sky, at this moment, there was a dead silence.

It seemed that even the troops who were busy in the distance sensed something strange, and the noise gradually became quieter.

After a long while, Liu Xiucai retracted his gaze, nodded slowly, and said:

"If you say that, aren't you afraid that I will kill you?"

Wan Yan Shuo puffed up his chest, calmly faced Liu Xiu's still somewhat sharp gaze, as if he had recovered from a panic, smiled slightly, and replied lightly: "I'm afraid!" ”

Liu Xiu's eyes flashed, and he was surprised: "Oh? ”

Wan Yanshuo was not in a hurry to answer, but turned around, looked at the endless plain in front of him, and replied for a while: "Compared to life and death, I have something more fearful." ”――
