The matter of the southwest, Shaowu Hengyong is not unclear, but it is really beyond the reach of the whip, and now the northwest is using troops again, even if he has the heart, he is powerless, but when he heard Du Qinghe say Liu Fan's name, Shaowu Hengyong was still taken aback.

He almost forgot this name, but he didn't expect to hear it again in the Golden Palace today, he frowned, and then said in a deep voice: "Can Liu Fa's current forces in the southwest fight against Dali?" ”

His voice was extremely cold, although he was not familiar with Liu Fa, but he clearly knew who Liu Fa was, back then, because of Shao Wuqing, he still restrained a little, and did not use his secret forces, I didn't expect that it was just two years of hard work, and Liu Fa was already galloping to the southwest.

"Yes, Your Majesty, now the Southern Prison is in the hands of Liu Fa, and there are many places in the southwest that are occupied by Liu Fa, as far as the current point of view, Liu Fa and Dali in the southwest should be equal and equal."

Du Qinghe was stunned, although he didn't know why Shaowu Hengyong was interested in Liu Fan, but he still told Shaowu Hengyong what he knew.

"Dare to hear!"

Shaowu Hengyong's head was bruised, and he smashed a piece of white jade paperweight on the dragon case, his face was full of haze, and anyone could see his anger.

"The emperor is angry!"

Although the ministers didn't understand why Shaowu Hengyong had such a big anger, they all deeply remembered the name Liu Fan, among the ministers who knelt down, there was also a father and son, and the son knelt down in the crowd and looked particularly outstanding, because he was too young, he was Yan Shaobing.

Liufa!

Yan Shaobing silently read this name in his heart, but his heart slowly sank, this Liu Fan, is it the person that Liu Lian's brother and sister have always remembered in their hearts, thinking of this, Yan Shaobing glanced at Yan Gongdao, who was kneeling at the front, but silently made a decision in his heart.

"The southwest has changed so much, what can Zhong Aiqing do to pacify the southwest for me?"

Shaowu Hengyong looked at the Chinese military officials of the dynasty, his eyes flashed fiercely, he was bound to attack the southwest, whether it was Dali or Liu Fa, it was his rivers and mountains in Daxia, he naturally had a lot of anger in his heart, but relatively speaking, what made him more angry was the rise of Liu Fa, which he couldn't bear in his heart.

Putting a remnant of the previous dynasty in the southwest and letting it grow, such a stupid thing he would definitely not do, not to mention, now that Liu Fa's power has attracted his attention, this has to worry him even more.

"This ......"

Hearing Shaowu Hengyong's words, the ministers of the court, look at me, I look at you, it's quite complicated, now the war has just started in the northwest, if you use troops again in the southwest, the treasury will be difficult to support.

"Your Majesty, in recent years, our dynasty has suffered many disasters, has lost too much treasury money, grain and grass, and the strength has not been replenished, as far as the current situation is concerned, the northwest is using troops again, it is really not appropriate to start a war again, please think twice!"

Yan Gongdao strode out, seeing that he hesitated for a long time, but he still spoke. At this time, the Hubu Shangshu who was kneeling beside him also spoke one after another, and said slowly: "Your Majesty, the treasury really can't take out the extra silver taels, the micro-minister is in charge of the household, in recent years, the treasury has been unable to make ends meet, counter-insurgency, disaster relief, salary, mausoleum repair, several large expenditures, the treasury has been consumed cleanly, Your Majesty, a few days ago there was an earthquake in the northwest, and the treasury is a large amount of investment, plus the use of troops in the northwest, the treasury really can't take out a little silver!" ”

When the ministers heard this, they immediately agreed, yes. Fighting a war is the strength of the country, fighting is the foundation of the country, how can you fight without money? What do you need money to pay for, to buy food, to build ordnance and weapons? The treasury is empty, there is no money to make these things, do you want the soldiers to go to the front hungry?

Hearing these words, Shaowu Hengyong gradually recovered from his anger, his eyes flashed solemnly, his fingers kept tapping on the dragon case, listening carefully to the discussion below, but he was silent again.

The ministers discussed for a long time, but they didn't notice that Shaowu Hengyong had fallen silent, and after a long time, they all reacted, closed their mouths one by one, and waited quietly for Shaowu Hengyong.

After a long time, Shaowu Hengyong waved his hand, and then said: "This matter is postponed, let's retreat!" ”

Under an order, in the midst of the mountain hus and the embrace of the ministers, Shaowu Hengyong came out of the Fengtian Palace, the early dynasty has dispersed, but Shaowu Hengyong's heart is heavy.

What an eventful time!

Shaowu Hengyong scattered his heart in the imperial garden, but his heart was always quiet, for the southwest, this feeling of having the heart to control, but not being able to control it, really made him very unwilling!

"Your Majesty, Lord Xiahou asks to see you!"

Just when he was extremely bored, Xiao Huangmen whispered a report on the side, and then waited on the side, waiting for Shaowu Hengyong's reaction.

"Hmm, Xuan!"

Hearing Xiahou Haoyue's visit, Shaowu Hengyong's heart was suddenly inexplicably relieved, and then Xiahou Haoyue walked into the imperial palace.

"See Your Majesty, long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

After all, it was to meet the Son of Heaven, no matter what Xiahou Haoyue thought in his heart, he still did a lot of face, he lowered his head, and he was also thinking about Shaowu Hengyong's mood today.

However, he can also feel that Shaowu Hengyong's mood is not very good today, although he doesn't need to go to the court early, but he still hears the things in the court very clearly, he knows what happened in the court today, although he knows that Shaowu Hengyong's mood may not be very good, but he still decided to come to see Shaowu Hengyong today.

"What are you doing here?"

Shaowu Hengyong's words did not have the slightest emotional fluctuation, just looked at Xiahou Haoyue playfully.

"Your Majesty, about that meteorite, Weichen has already found out some eyebrows!"

"Oh, what's it, tell me carefully!"

Hearing Xiahou Haoyue talk about the meteorite, Shaowu Hengyong's attention immediately shifted, and he had to say that he was still a little curious about the meteorite.

"Your Majesty, the appearance of that meteorite is really unknown, but it is a warning from heaven, and there are unusual ornaments on the meteorite, and the ornaments are also related to this portented 'warning'!"

Xiahou Haoyue said to Shaowu Hengyong word by word, but she was thinking about Shaowu Hengan's words at the beginning, these two brothers are really interesting!

"Hmm!"

Shaowu Hengyong couldn't help frowning when he heard Xiahou Haoyue's words, in fact, when Xiaohuangmen passed through, he already had such an idea, he was even thinking that the appearance of that meteorite had something to do with Liu Fan, but this idea was ruled out in his heart for the first time, he and Shaowuqing were generally unwilling to believe in anything ethereal, except for the power in their hands, the rest of the things were too illusory.

However, hearing Xiahou Haoyue talk about it, Shaowu Hengyong began to doubt it again, was it really as he thought, he was silent for a long time, and then said: "Xiahou Aiqing, you said that the ornament carved on the meteorite of the heavenly warning is the source of this 'police'?" ”

Sure enough, as Xiahou Haoyue expected, he concluded that Shaowu Hengyong would think in the direction he said, for Shaowu Hengyong's suspicion and treachery, Xiahou Haoyue's heart was as clear as a mirror, seeing that Shaowu Hengyong finally followed his train of thought, he was slightly relieved, and then raised his head, and said: "Exactly, the corresponding thing of this ornament is definitely a threat to the national fortune of Great Xia, but Weichen has no way to find out what this ornament represents, whether it is a certain clan, a certain family, or something else...... ”

"Ornamental ......"

Shaowu Hengyong's face changed slightly, just for a moment, he returned to normal, he didn't speak, just silent, looking at the chrysanthemums blooming in the imperial garden, after a long time, Shaowu Hengyong sighed, and then said: "Aiqing, about the meteorite, what other progress has there been?" ”

Xiahou Haoyue's face was bitter, then she shook her head and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, the scriptures and codex left by the immortal master are all fragments, although Weichen also worked hard to find the records of Qin Tianjian, but the harvest was very small!" ”

"That's it, I know, stand down!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Xiahou Haoyue's purpose has been achieved, and then his heart is slightly relieved, Shaowu Heng'an explained his things, he can only do this step now, in fact, there is no need for Xiahou Haoyue to remind, today when Shaowu Hengyong heard the name Liu Fa, he had already linked the meteorite with Liu Fa, which is also the reason why he was silent for a long time in the Fengtian Palace, and did not blame the ministers for the noise.

It is rare that Shaowu Hengyong did not embarrass Xiahou Haoyue, just asked a few words, and then drank Xiahou Haoyue to retreat, in fact, his heart is quite complicated today, for the war in the northwest, he already has a little headache, and today there is such a bad news, the most important thing is that what Xiahou Haoyue said, about the meteorite, also made him a little suspicious.

For the ornament, maybe Shaowu Hengan will know a little more than him, but this does not mean that he knows nothing about this ornament, in fact, when he first tracked down Liu Fa, he had already found some clues, but he didn't understand why his father didn't start, and he didn't allow him to start, but he finally stopped, the ornament on the meteorite was very similar to the one on the back of Liu's neck, and he just remembered it.

"Come on, drive the Huangzhuang ...... on the outskirts of Beijing"

After being silent for a long time, Shaowu Hengyong finally waved his sleeves and walked towards Huangzhuang.

Northwest, Shuitian County!

The wind rose, the yellow sand danced wildly, covering the morning sun, the dust with a terrible scream swirled in the ears, the eyes of the fascinated people could not open, the wind speed was so strong, especially yesterday. In addition to the outer city walls, there are only a few bare mounds left in Shuitian City, which is shrouded in sand, which is extremely desolate.

All the horses wore chews, and the soldiers defending the city covered their faces with gauze, leaning against the city walls, hiding from the wind and sand.

Withered vines and old trees faint crows, broken intestines at the end of the world, this is a true portrayal of the water and sky, the yellow sand is all over the sky, the cold wind eats people, although most of the soldiers of the Northern Expedition are from the north, but for such weather, it is really unbearable for them.

Under the invasion of the barbarian tribe, there is no one for a hundred miles, there is no fluctuation of life, the whole water and sky, as if dead, there is no vitality, water and sky is not a small city, it can be said that it is the lifeblood of the northwest to connect with the imperial capital, and it is also a traffic artery, the importance of which is needless to mention, but now under the iron hooves of the barbarians, there is a rush of doom here.

Stand on a high platform and look around. In the yellow sand, the horses neighed, the sky roared, countless flags were waved in the wind, and the sharpened blades and spear heads flashed with scorching cold light, reflecting the excited and expectant faces of the soldiers.

Brute Ride is coming!

At the head of the city, Yue Hu and Liu Lian stood side by side, they stood on the tower of Shuitian County, their eyes were cold, looking at the wolf smoke not far away, their eyes were full of killing intent.

"Lord Liu, you don't have to come here!"

Seeing that Liu Lian's feet were still a little floating, it could be seen that his body had not fully recovered, Yue Hu sighed slightly in his heart, and then said indifferently.

"Where is the duty!"

When Liu Jian heard Yue Hu's words, the nervousness in his heart was slightly less, but he was still a little afraid, yes, he was still very afraid, although he had never seen the appearance of the dog Rong barbarian riding a barbarian, but he could hear it, the barbarian was strong and tyrannical.

"What a duty!"

Yue Hu saw that Liu Jian was standing like a strong pine, and he also nodded sincerely, full of praise, a weak scholar who couldn't carry it on his shoulders and couldn't lift it in his hands, it was already a great courage to be able to stand on the head of this city.

"Boom...... Rumble......"

In the distance, the sand in the sky to the north danced wildly, and several wolf smoke rose into the sky.

Countless small black dots are galloping, like endless locusts, rolling up the yellow sand in the sky. The earthquake trembled, rumbling like thunderbolts, and even the silent city walls shook with it.

"It's wolf smoke! They...... It's coming!"

Yue Hu's eyes were red, he shouted violently, and the battle knife was unsheathed. At this moment, Liu Jian also took a step forward, and the hot blood in his chest surged up in an instant.

In the distance, the sky rolled up the wild sand, and countless dogs rode horses like galloping arrows, shuttling through the desert like meteors, and the horses' hooves kicked the earth, and the earth shook the mountains.

The knights on horseback were dressed in sheepskin robes and woolen felt hats, their deep-set eyes were wild blue, and their pointed noses were as unruly as the character of a canine and barbarian horseman.

The knights' faces were filled with excitement and greed, and countless snow-bright scimitars were raised in their thick arms, glittering in the sunlight.

The dog is coming!

The dust and sand in the sky seemed to be dark clouds falling from the sky, and their speed was several times faster than expected! The spectacular scene of 10,000 war horses neighing and galloping on the desert makes people tremble.

The earth-shattering sound seemed to shake out Liu Lian's heart, looking at the dark clouds, sand, war horses and people in the distance mixed into the same color of heaven and earth, with incomparable shock in the desolation, no matter how great a person you are, in front of this unparalleled momentum, you will become incomparably small.

Forty miles, thirty miles, twenty miles......

The dog rode more than 10,000 iron horses. At a speed unimaginable to ordinary people, it quickly advanced forward, and gradually, the sound became louder and louder, and the dust and sand turned ten miles in front of him into an impenetrable fog, faintly, the mane and hooves of the war horse, and the felt hat on the head of the dog and the barbarian rider, were clearly visible.

After a few moments, the endless flying clouds seemed to suddenly freeze. I couldn't hear the neighing of the horse, and a few sparse hooves of the horse came into my ears, and the dog Rong rode slowly stopped the pace of running, only the sneezing sound of the war horse continued to sneeze, which formed a muffled thunder and entered the eardrums of the Great Xia soldiers.

Suddenly, a dull sound of hooves broke the silence on both sides, and the neat formation of the dog Rong Man's horse slowly moved away to both sides, and a group of Biao rode up from the back of the dog Rong Man's horse, and the first was a big flag waving in the wind, and a wolf's head with a bloody mouth on the flag was clearly visible.

Under the banner of a high-headed horse, a tall horse of a divine steed flaunted his might, and immediately sat a dog with deep eyes and a towering nose, who did not wear a felt hat, but was different from other barbarians, wearing a huge helmet. He was much larger than an ordinary dog and a man, holding a heavy iron axe in his hand, and in the sun, the huge iron axe was cold and extraordinarily infiltrating, and the hair of the axe was curled, his eyes were fierce, and his open mouth was shining with cold light. Judging by his appearance and momentum, he should be a dog and a barbarian general.

"The Great Xia general came out to answer!"

The general with the axe raised the battle axe in his hand and shouted at the head of the city, his mouth opened like a roar, coupled with his broken Chinese, it really made all the Great Xia soldiers in the city feel no pain in their hearts.

"Humph!"

Yue Hu saw this person's battle axe pointing at him, and his heart was also extremely unhappy, he strode to the front of Shuitian County, and it was like thunder, and he shouted majestically: "Barbarians under the city, you listen to me, I am Yue Hu, the marshal of the Great Xia Northern Expedition, and you and other barbarian villains, who are fighting and invading my Great Xia country." Slaughter my people, heaven will not tolerate it, wait for the speedy retreat, and then order your king to write a letter of surrender and send it to my Great Summer Dynasty, pay the New Year's offering, and bow to my Heavenly Dynasty as the father emperor. If you don't listen to the admonition and insist on going your own way, you will be told that you will never come back, this Shuitian County City is your burial place!"

In the last words, Yue Hu almost roared and shouted, like a hungry mad tiger, his face was hideous, his fingers were already white, in fact, he really wanted to pounce at this moment, under the yellow sand at the head of the city, all covered were the bones of the soldiers of Great Xia, every sneak attack of these dogs and barbarians would bring great losses to Great Xia, Yue Hu hated, and the soldiers of Great Xia also hated, and they hated endlessly.

"Hahahaha......"

Under the city, the general of the dog barbarian clan laughed, as if he had heard the funniest joke in the world, he held the battle axe in his hand, and laughed until he was dead or alive, and at the same time, the tens of thousands of dog iron horsemen behind him also began to laugh, their eyes full of mockery and pity.
