In the imperial study room of Emperor Fengtian's palace, Emperor Long Yanji of Suzheng angrily threw a bunch of pieces on Li Ke's body.

"Rick, it's all your fault. At that time, I was reluctant to let the Far Eastern barbarians go to Liaodong to do business. But what do you keep saying, the barbarians have been obedient to Dayan for hundreds of years, and they have long been integrated with Dayan. But you see, now, these barbarians actually took advantage of the concession I gave them back then, changed their makeup, turned them into pieces, and came to the hinterland of the Central Plains to cause chaos in Dayan. They are a pack of wolves, a bunch of white-eyed wolves that are not well raised. I'm not going to appease them this time. Gao Ping, quickly recruit the Sixteen Wei generals into the palace to see me, I want to levy a large army and wipe out the Far Eastern barbarians. Especially the Rong tribe, they must be slaughtered. This time, I will not let them go. ”

"Li Ke, you cannot shirk the responsibility for this matter, and you will be fined for one year. In addition, a decree was immediately drawn up to abolish the annual preferential treatment for the Far Eastern provinces and restore the old system. A horse is no more than Red Rock Mountain, and those who violate the order will be exterminated, so you can go. ”

Li Ke was about to speak, but Emperor Su Zheng waved his hand impatiently, and Li Ke had to bow down and leave the imperial study. After walking out of the imperial study, Li Ke stood on the imperial steps with a serious face. Looking at the changes in the sky, he sneered in his heart, turned around and walked in the direction of Qin Tianjian.

In a large mountain in the Yanshan Mountain Range, far away from Jizhou, there is a very hidden place. There are many natural caves, high mountains and dense forests, and many streams. Because it is located in the depths of Yanshan Mountain, and it is the junction of Youzhou, Liaozhou and Qingzhou, it has become a veritable three-regardless zone.

Triangle Eyes was now running quickly through the dense forest, towards a cave in the mountain. Along the way, from time to time, people popped up from the grass behind the trees and boulders to look at him. When they saw clearly that it was triangular eyes, they retracted their heads and disappeared without a trace.

Triangle Eye scurried around to the depths of a cavern where many torches were lit. Behind a large table made of logs sat two men, one burly with a seeping scar on his face, the other wearing an eyepatch in his left eye. Triangle Eyes walked quickly to the table and got down on one knee.

"Report to the commander of the thousand, my hundred-man team was wiped out by the combined forces of the three counties in Jizhou, and I was the only one who escaped. All the gold and silver that had been looted were lost. If the subordinates are not doing well, please punish the commander. ”

Scarface took a big sip of his glass and slammed it on Triangular Eye's face. The silver glass was so heavy that it smashed the face of the triangular eye in one fell swoop. Blood ran down his cheeks, but even so, Triangle Eyes remained on his knees and did not dare to move.

"Commander of a thousand people, the extermination of Hua Limu's team is small, and it has affected the wolf master's plan. We should have made the decision to evacuate sooner rather than later. According to the wolf master's plan, we should implement the second step plan in advance. The one-eyed dragon said to Scarface in a deep voice.

"Well, be careful. Have all the looted gold and silver been handed over to the wolf master? Scarface asked.

"Yesterday it was sent away. Due to the huge quantity, it can only be shipped in batches. It was just shipped yesterday. The one-eyed dragon replied.

"Hua Limu, I'll give you another chance to make meritorious atonements. You lead people to implement the second step plan. Be careful this time, and if your people, including yourself, get sick, kill them immediately. Also, who is the man who killed my hundred warriors? Where to stay? ”

"After many inquiries by my subordinates, I learned that it was the group training of Woniu Town, Cangshan County, Jizhou that exterminated my hundred-person team, and their head is called Niu Tianci, who is twelve years old this year." Triangle Eyes said with his head down.

"Hua Limu, you are really getting more and more. Are you still the warrior who crisscrossed the grasslands? Even if a group practice is ten times larger than you, you shouldn't be defeated by them. What's more, their leader is still a child. Are you not as good as a nursing child? Warren, you go and execute the plan. I'll get everyone back, I'm here for you. If you don't die, I'll give you another chance to avenge your shame. If you still can't win, don't go back to the steppe, just stay here with your hundred brothers. ”

"Thank you, Commander, Warren will surely satisfy you. I want to use the human head given by Niu Tiandao to prove that I am the descendant of the wolf, the invincible warrior of the grassland. ”

"Who won't brag, it's up to you when the time comes. Woniu Town, let him disappear from this world. Command me, and the teams drew closer to me. We are ready to evacuate, and before we leave, we have to tell the emperor of Dayan that our Rong tribe is not easy to mess with. Our goal is Woniu Town, to kill, burn, and rob all. This time all the captures were made by the warriors themselves. ”

Whoa, as Scarface's words landed, everyone in the cave pulled out their long knives and shouted, like a pack of hungry wolves that smelled blood.

Dayan is a powerful country, and despite the constant natural disasters during the reign of Emperor Suzheng, the turmoil and wars in the Far East, the lives of the people in the hinterland of the Central Plains are relatively stable. After all, after hundreds of years of prosperity, the common people still have a certain background in their homes. However, just as there must be a shadow behind the glorious building, beggars are still common in Dayan. In a dilapidated temple of the City God, dozens of beggars huddle together against a small fire to keep warm. It's summer, but the rain is uncomfortable. Besides, people are prone to illness when they are exposed to rain, so these beggars made a small fire.

Puff p The beggars, who had not eaten for a day, looked at the dead chickens and dead sheep on the ground, and their throats rolled uncontrollably. They saw a man in black riding a horse outside the temple gate, and he threw the dead chickens and sheep into it.

"Eat." The man in black said these two words, and urged the horse to leave. The beggars rushed up, peeling the skin, and looking for the pot. Some people are very hungry, tearing off a piece of raw meat and throwing it into their mouths to eat.

This kind of scene is constantly playing out in various parts of Dayan, and in some cities, it is also found that people have thrown dead cats and mice into the wells where the poor gather. The people cursed as they scooped up the contents of the water and threw them on the side of the road, while the wandering wild dogs ran over and took them in their mouths as soon as they saw something to eat. And those that were not taken away were left on the ground to rot slowly, attracting swarms of flies. After these flies settle on the decay, they often fly into the homes.

Triangle Eye returned to the mountains and spent three days alone in a cave. It wasn't until there was no sign of fever or diarrhea that he changed into clean clothes and went deeper into the cave. Of the more than 100 people who went out with him, he was now the only one who came back.

Scarface looked at the triangular eyes and said, "Hua Limu, your life is so hard. It seems that the Sirius God has not given up on you, and will also give you a chance to take revenge. Well, this opportunity is yours. Let me tell you again, Woniu Town is very rich, richer than most places in Dayan. The head office of that Wantong Money Bank is in Woniu Town, and there must be countless amounts of gold and silver in the treasury, which must be much more than you have lost. There are countless shops and women there, and more importantly, your enemies there. There is the one who has tarnished the reputation of your warriors. Go, wash away your shame with your scimitar, and you will take the lead. Come, let me tell you about our plans. ”

With Scarface's order, the sound of sharpening knives and arrows can be heard from several surrounding caves, mixed with violent noises and obscene laughter.

In the summer of the eighteenth year of Suzheng, Emperor Long Yanhei of Suzheng issued a decree to cancel the concessions of the Far Eastern ministries to do business in Liaodong. This time, even the qualifications to do business in Sky Wolf City were also revoked, and the old system of prohibiting the Far Eastern tribes from grazing across the Red Rock Mountain, and even not allowing them to go within ten miles of the Red Rock Mountain, was restored. It's called: "A horse is no bigger than a red rock mountain".

Subsequently, Long Yansi sent Long Xiang Zuowei to the Far East to quell the rebellion. He was appointed as the general of the Far East Road and the governor of the Far East Road. Specially allowed to recruit soldiers from all over the country along the way, a total of 100,000 troops went to the Far East to quell the chaos. After Tuoba Honglie received the order to pay homage to the general, he led the 30,000 troops of Long Xiang's left guard to swear out from the Fengtian camp half a month later.

To say that there is no need to work so hard to go to the Far East, and only any army of the Northern Army needs to be sent to undertake this great task. Moreover, the Northern Army is closer to the Far East and has a long experience in fighting the barbarians of the Far East. Whether in terms of the deployment of troops and horses, or in the comparison of combat power, it has a huge advantage, and using the Northern Army to quell the rebellion in the Far East is like smashing an egg with a boulder. However, Emperor Su Zheng just didn't need to let go of the ready-made lions of a hundred battles, so he had to transfer troops from the sixteen guards and attack far away, because he was not at ease with the northern army. Although the commander of the Northern Army, Yan Chengyu, was now shelved, the Northern Army worked together to resist the new commander sent by Emperor Suzheng. Most of the people in the court who are qualified to be the commanders of the Northern Army are those who opposed Emperor Suzheng's accession to the throne at the beginning. And a small number of qualified centrists are unwilling to touch this hot potato. In desperation, Emperor Suzheng had no choice but to temporarily abandon the post of commander and take the command of the Northern Army into his own hands.

This is not wrong, Emperor Dayan is the supreme commander of the whole army, and it is naturally okay to serve as the commander of the Northern Army. However, in this way, even if the Northern Army launched a military operation on the scale of 100 people, it needed to report to the Ministry of War and obtain the emperor's approval, and the efficiency of the initiative and impromptu disposal was greatly reduced. Moreover, the alternation of equipment and personnel of the Northern Corps also ranked behind the other guards, which was absolutely impossible before. Every year, a large number of veterans retire from the Northern Army, but the new recruits are not replenished in time, so in order not to affect the combat effectiveness too much, the current Northern Army has to extend the time for veterans to retire. In this way, the soldiers of the Northern Army complained about Emperor Suzheng and hated Li Ke and his ilk.

To this end, Emperor Suzheng, at the suggestion of Li Ke, sent a prison army to the Northern Legion. This is also a good way, in the history of the Northern Army since the day of the establishment of the army several supervisors. For example, when Emperor Shengzuren Long Xingyun was still the crown prince, he was the supervisor of the Northern Legion, and in the following hundreds of years, most of the supervisors of the Northern Legion were served by the princes or Yan kings of the previous dynasties. However, the prison army sent by Emperor Suzheng was simply unacceptable. This prisoner's name is Gao Zan, yes, he is the eunuch who forced Zhuo Yujiao to the cliff in the first place. As a result, Emperor Suzheng created a precedent for the eunuchs of the Great Yan to supervise the army. In this way, the anger of the soldiers of the Northern Army was even stronger, how could this invincible tiger and wolf army tolerate a eunuch without eggs riding on his head, so Gao Zan's career as a prisoner was not easy. Since he arrived in the Northern Legion, basically no one has paid attention to him.

Gao Zan also knew that this matter was not something he could control. Fortunately, he was smart enough and did not rush to seize power, but after Emperor Shangshu Zheng transferred Wu Hong, the new deputy commander of the Snow Wolf Guard, to his side, he could sleep well. Gao Zan secretly complained that his brother Gao Ping had given himself such an unlucky errand. Isn't that throwing him into the fire and roasting? Complain is complaining, since you are here, you will bear with it first. Anyway, no one paid attention to him, Gao Zan was happy.
