Cloudsdale.

The city was full of cheerful celebrations, and the city of Yunzhong, far west of Great Qin, had already received the news of Wang Mang's attack on Hancheng, and expanding its territory was the most exciting time for the people of a country in any era.

In this kind of cheer, Wang Mang quietly entered the mansion, Feng Tang felt Wang Mang's breath the moment Wang Mang entered the mansion, after all, the breath of the war general and the master can be felt by each other at close range.

"Your Majesty, long live Your Majesty, long live Long live!" Feng Tang waved back the crowd and kowtowed to the air in front of him.

Wang Mang's figure flashed out of the air, and as soon as he stretched out his hand, Feng Tang stood up from the ground, and Wang Mang said, "How is Cloud City lately?"

"Since the return of His Majesty the Prairie Retreat, Cloud City is no different, and the people's livelihood and economy in the city have also recovered rapidly under the supplement of resources allocated by the imperial court, and now the foundation of Cloud City has also recovered to half of the pre-war level, and it will be able to reach the pre-war level in some days. Feng Tang said: "After the impact of the previous war completely disappears, and Cloud City also completely digests the resources obtained by our Qin State from defeating the grassland before, the overall strength of Cloud City will be rapidly improved." ”

"If there is another war, Cloudsdale may deal with it?" Wang Mang said.

"Yes. Feng Tang said with certainty: "Your Majesty, although the people's livelihood economy in Cloudsdale is only half recovered, but in terms of quality, it is dilapidated and welcoming the new, and now the newborn Cloudsdale has got rid of many backward things before, although it is not as good as before the war in terms of quality, it is not far away." ”

"What about war preparations?" Wang Mang said again.

"It's even better than before the war. Feng Tang said: " After all, the grassland suffered a big loss in Cloud City last time, the grassland people have a strong personality, not the master who can suffer losses, and we will definitely take revenge for such a big loss, so as soon as the war is over, Cloud City first put all the manpower and material resources on the recovery of war equipment, such as the city defense of Cloud City, which has been completely reconstructed and strengthened in accordance with the new drawings given by Cheng Buzhi, and the city defense is now about thirty percent higher than the pre-war level, according to General Meng's words, it is already an iron wall, unless it costs ten times the casualties, it is difficult to break through Cloud City。 ”

"But what's the difficulty?" Wang Mang said.

"Grain. Feng Tang said: "Cloud City has always been short of food, especially this year has experienced another war, the shortage of food is extremely serious, although the minister has spent a lot of energy to dispatch, but the phenomenon of food shortage has never been alleviated, Cloud City is really not a place where you can grow food, food is mainly allocated by the imperial court, but the imperial court is also fighting, there is really no way." ”

Wang Mang nodded, the land of Qin is barren, and it has always been barely self-sufficient in terms of grain production, and most of the military rations are counting on the support of the Central Plains countries, and now Qin and Han Zhao have a big war, and it is no longer possible for the Central Plains countries to give Qin food, and the whole territory of Korea was swept away by a big war, Wang Mang left Hancheng on the way to Qin, and saw a lot of victims, it can be said that food is now seriously restraining Wang Mang's hands and feet.

After pondering for a while, Wang Mang decided to give Feng Tang a little confidence, and said: "Don't worry about the grain, I have arranged for people to attack Bashu before, Bashu is known as the country of abundance, and it is said that the seeds can grow food if they are thrown on the ground and do not need to be cared for, as long as they can take Bashu, there will be no shortage of food in the future for the Qin State." ”

Feng Tang knew that Wang Mang had people attack Bashu, and said, "How long will it take for Bashu to be defeated?"

"I was about to hit the door of Bashu before, but because the battle of Hangu Pass was opened again, I had to stop, but the White Emperor City behind Bashu has surrendered to me, and Bashu is not afraid. Wang Mang said: "I have already arranged for Huo Qubing to be in charge of this battle. ”

Feng Tang knew that it was Huo Quai's action, so he knew that the matter was already secure, and said, "I don't know what Your Majesty is doing here?"

"The temple is abnormal, King Zuo Xian died in Cloud City, but I didn't see the grassland people coming to my Qin country to take revenge, I always felt that it was inappropriate, so I came here to take a look. Wang Mang said.

"Your Majesty can rest assured, but if there is anything wrong, the ministers will report it to Your Majesty immediately. Feng Tang hurriedly said.

"I still want to see it with my own eyes. Wang Mang said, "What is Tiemu Town doing now?"

Feng Tang heard the name of Tiemu Town, his expression changed slightly, and he said: " After the Tiemu Town got the Overlord Bow, it has now disappeared for a period of time, and then when it reappears, a body of cultivation has actually reached the realm of transforming into a god, and there is a group of temple masters behind him, and the cultivation is not weaker than the congenital, among which there are many people who have reached the golden pill, after the appearance of Tiemu Town, he quickly gathered the old department, and then looked at the eastern grassland, and in a short period of time has occupied one-tenth of the territory of the eastern grassland, and he has the protection of the temple behind him, although his behavior angered many people, but because of the temple, no one killed him。 ”

"How long do you think those big nobles in the eastern steppes can tolerate him?" Wang Mang said.

"I don't know how much support the temple has given to Temujin. Feng Tang said: "It's not that many big forces in the eastern grassland can't balance Tiemu Town, it's just that they have scruples because they can't figure out the situation of the temple, but Tiemu Town has now obtained one-tenth of the territory of the eastern grassland, if he continues to fight, even if he has a temple behind him, I'm afraid some people can't help but take action." ”

"Can a new Zuo Xian King appear?" Wang Mang said.

"One of the sons of King Zuo Xian has received the support of King Zuo Xian's big tent, and has sent the roster to the temple, but the temple has not replied, and now the eastern grassland is still ownerless. Feng Tang said, "Does Your Majesty want to make a move against Tiemu Town?"

"Is it okay?" Wang Mang said.

Feng Tang shook his head and said: "No, the minister had seen Tiemu Town from a distance before, on the bright side, the strongest person around Tiemu Town was only a god cultivator, but the minister found more than one breath of refining the god realm in a hidden place, and the temple supported Tiemu Town this time, so it is difficult to judge whether there are higher-level masters who are protecting Tiemu Town." ”

"What about the Right Virtuous King, this person is very ambitious, bent on annexing the Zuo Virtuous King and becoming the most powerful overlord of the grassland, in the face of the momentum of Tiemu Town almost dominating the eastern grassland, doesn't he have other ideas?" Wang Mang said.

"It's useless for him to have an idea. Feng Tang smiled.

"What do you say?" said Wang Mang.

"The man was locked up in the temple. Feng Tang said: "I can't say that it's over, after King Youxian got out of the battlefield in Cloud City, he didn't leave the Eastern Grassland at first, it seems that he was trying to do something in the Eastern Grassland, but he didn't expect to let the people of the temple collide with him, and the temple directly arrested him, and now he has nothing to do." ”

"The temple can't arrest people for no reason, right?" Wang Mang frowned.

"Say that he is disrespectful to the Mother Goddess. Feng Tang shook his head and said: "This is a typical crime of wanting to add, there is no excuse, there are many people in the entire grassland who are disrespectful to the mother god, so this right sage king must also have it, and he didn't dare to swear in front of the mother god, so he had to be kept locked up by the temple, anyway, this crime does not allow the right sage king to take the slightest chance, this time the temple has made up its mind to support the throne of Tiemu Town." ”

Wang Mang shook his head, the Right Xian King is also stupid, knowing that the temple is going to attack him, he doesn't run away and honestly hides, but he is still wandering around in the eastern grassland, this is good, there is no play, Wang Mang doesn't believe that the temple will release the Right Xian King, and the probability of throwing it to Tiemu Town to kill is relatively large.

Feng Tang saw that Wang Mang was asking most of the questions about the war, and it seemed that he was planning to attack the grassland again, and then asked Tiemu Town, his mind turned, and he said, "Your Majesty is planning to attack Tiemu Town?"

Wang Mang nodded.

"Tiemu Town is now under the protection of the temple, in the grassland, the temple is almost invincible, Your Majesty please think again. Feng Tang thought about it, but still persuaded him.

"I know, that's why I want to attack Ironwood. Wang Mang said: "The temple enjoys a supreme position on the grassland, although I don't know how strong the temple is, but just looking at the strength of the Jixia School Palace, you can imagine the strength of the temple, or the strength of the temple is likely to be stronger than the Jixia School Palace, what does this mean, do you know?"

Feng Tang shook his head, as soon as he came to this world, he was thrown to Cloud City by Wang Mang, and asked himself if he knew the temple very well, but Wang Mang was his master, and sometimes it didn't hurt to be low-key.

Wang Mang said: "Why does such a powerful temple support Tiemu Town? Don't you think this matter is strange? Who is Tiemu Town, an inconspicuous boy of the Yuan tribe, why would he get the favor of the temple, and even the current layout of the temple is to push Tiemu Town to the supreme throne of the grassland, is it just because Tiemu Town and the Overlord Bow are related? I don't believe it, there must be something strange in this. “

"So Your Majesty plans to find trouble with Tiemu Town and test the temple's reaction in order to find out the cause of the temple's abnormality?" Feng Tang said suddenly.

"That's right. Wang Mang said: "The one who gets the overlord bow wins the world, I used to think that this world refers to the grassland, but now, this world is likely to refer to the world." ”

"How is this possible, there has never been a thing where the steppe people dominate the world. Feng Tang exclaimed: "No matter how strong the Divine Temple is, it can't be stronger than the joint efforts of a group of Holy Gate forces in the Central Plains, and those Holy Gates can destroy everything after joining forces." ”

"So that's where I'm weird, and that's where I'm going to be guarded against. Wang Mang said: "It's impossible for the grassland people not to know that it's almost impossible for them to dominate the world, but they still seem to be working in this direction, and this is the most strange place, and it is also the place where I must figure it out." ”

After a pause, Wang Mang looked outside the door and said: "This is Yunzhong City, as long as it is attacked here, the grassland cavalry can drive straight into the hinterland of the Qin State, and then go all the way east from Hangu Pass, almost pushing the Central Plains countries outside the pass, so if the grassland really has the heart of being the king and hegemonic, my Qin State will be the first line of defense against the grassland." ”

"And the country of Zhao, which also borders the grassland. Feng Tang said.

"Nope. Wang Mang shook his head and said, "Whether it is the countries or the grasslands, I have never treated my Qin State as a strong country. ”

Feng Tang immediately understood, because in the eyes of the great powers, the Qin State was the weakest, even if the Qin State won the battle in the Cloud City, the grassland had never regarded the Qin State as an equal opponent, once the grassland people went east, they would almost certainly attack the Qin State, first, they could send troops on the grounds of avenging the Right Xian King, and secondly, they also felt that the Qin State was easy to attack, and as the northwestern city of Great Qin, the Cloud City would definitely become the bridgehead of the Qin State to resist the invasion of the grassland.

Feng Tang looked at Wang Mang and whispered, "Your Majesty wants to strike first?"

"I have this idea, but it depends on the movement of the grassland. Wang Mang said: "I have some ideas, I don't know if it's okay." ”

"Your Majesty is wise, and the idea must be done. Feng Tang said.

"Sycophants, I don't care about this, you and I go to find Meng Tian together, this matter can't be separated from him. Wang Mang said.

Dingbei City, the scale of the military camp has expanded a lot, and there is an area dedicated to the Korean soldiers transported from the Korean battlefield, originally to sell the Korean people to the grassland, but I didn't expect that South Korea would be wiped out in the hands of the Qin State in a short time, and now the Koreans are also Qin people, and it is not appropriate to sell these people to the grassland, so they are all imprisoned here.

Meng Tian got the news of Feng Tang's visit, and was a little puzzled, but he quickly rushed back from the barracks, and as soon as he entered the house, he found Wang Mang with his back to him, and when Wang Mang turned around, Meng Tian hurriedly kowtowed to Wang Mang, and then said: "Why did Your Majesty come here suddenly, it's too dangerous." ”

"It's okay, I'm safe. Wang Mang said, with his current strength, under the ever-changing operation of the gods, there are almost no saints below who can catch up with him, even ordinary saints who are still empty can't catch up with him, so Wang Mang is very confident in safety.

Meng Tian knew that this master was mysterious, and it was inconvenient to persuade him, so he said: "Your Majesty is here, there must be something to tell your ministers, I don't know what Your Majesty plans to let your ministers do?"

Wang Mang glanced at Feng Tang, and Feng Tang said: "Your Majesty wants to know about the situation on the grassland, and intends to attack the grassland." ”

Meng Tian glanced at Feng Tang, and secretly pondered in his heart, guessing that Wang Mang might have been angry with Feng Tang about this matter before, it can be seen from this that Feng Tang is more trusted by Wang Mang than him, and he doesn't know where this Feng Tang came from, he has never heard of this person's name before.

However, Feng Tang's meaning Meng Tian understood, Meng Tian frowned slightly, and said: "Your Majesty, now Cloud City is in ruins, and although there is some turmoil on the grassland, on the whole, the eastern grassland is not in chaos, and there is no opportunity for my Qin State, now is really not a good time to use troops on the grassland, please think twice, Your Majesty." ”

Wang Mang looked at Meng Tian and said, "I heard that Tiemu Town has led troops to encroach on one-tenth of the territory of the eastern grassland, and several big families in the grassland have also supported their own troops, isn't there a big chaos?"

"Nope. Meng Tian shook his head and said: "Clear-eyed people know that the temple has eviled King Zuoxian's big tent, and King Zuoxian's big tent naturally knows that as soon as the news of King Zuoxian's death in Cloud City spreads, Zuo Xianwang's big tent immediately supported Zuo Xianwang's son as the leader and reported to the temple, and controlled the impact of Zuo Xianwang's death in Cloud City in time, and now Zuo Xianwang's big tent still controls almost half of the territory of the eastern grassland, as long as Zuo Xianwang's big tent is not chaotic, the eastern grassland will not be chaotic in a short time." ”

"Didn't you say that King Zuo Xian didn't have a son?" Wang Mang said.
