Li Zheng came out of the back garden with a smile, humming an intermittent tune in his mouth, walked out of the palace, and headed in the direction of the origin tree.

In my ears, the sound of silk and bamboo is still lingering.

Zhao Ji's piano skills have been superb. The aftermath is endless, and it is about three days around the beam, which can be used to describe it. Listening to Zhao Ji stroking the piano and watching the beauties dance is the most high-end enjoyment.

I was in a happy mood and went to the origin tree and exhaled the little chubby girl.

The little chubby girl mastered the blue Xiang bird and collected a qiē number jù. Now, hundreds of thousands of huge numbers of Blue Xiang Bird Clans are spread across the territory of the empire and the surrounding areas, collecting all kinds of information for Li Zheng.

Although the Blue Bird is not the main battle horse, its advantage in collecting information is extremely obvious. The blue bird is small, dexterous and agile, and extremely fast, even if it encounters large birds or even flying beasts, it can get rid of it unharmed. So Li Zheng scattered these little guys all over many regions and got countless information.

Previously, Xun You mentioned the matter of Xianbei people's request to surrender, and Li Zheng planned to come here to check the relevant news.

The little chubby girl naturally didn't dare to slack off, and immediately called up all the information collected by Lan Xiangniao for Li Zheng to see.

Tong guò These numbers that have been classified and sorted out by the little chubby girl, and the general information about the territory of the empire and the surrounding areas are clearly presented in front of you.

Hundreds of thousands of blue birds, each with a radius of hundreds of miles, covers an area that has reached the Arctic Ocean to the north, Oceania to the south, the Mediterranean coast to the west, and the Yingzhou sea area to the east.

Although the information collected by Lan Xiangniao is not comprehensive and specific, in the general direction, it will not go wrong, and it has brought a lot of useful news to Li Zheng.

Now, due to the beast disaster, the surrounding areas of the empire are suffering from it. The blue bird has collected the general situation of it.

Some of the fierce beasts that emerged from the space-time passage headed east, along the maritime frontier of the empire. All the way north. The other part landed nearby, or from Indochina, into the territory of the empire. Or from the South Asian subcontinent, into the territory of the Kushan Dynasty. The remaining part spread slightly southward into the territory of Oceania.

The ferocious beasts that spread from the east caused extremely severe trauma to the coastal areas of the empire. At the same time, the islands of Yingzhou in the east are even more miserable, and now there are almost no people. The sea beasts quickly took over the area, almost exterminating the population of these islands. There is no way, these small islands have no strategic depth, they can't run, and they can't dodge.

Along the sea, the sea beast continues to spread northward, making landfall along the coastline. From a large area in Liaodong and the north of Liaodong to the mainland, he exterminated all kinds of barbarian wild tribes and entered the rule of the Xianbei people, and made a mess of the Xianbei territory in the east.

Although the Xianbei people boasted that they had hundreds of thousands of cavalry, with their armor and equipment, in the face of the attack of the fierce beast, they were like fish on the chopping board, reduced to the food of the fierce beast.

Eastern Xianbei can't resist. suffered heavy losses, so he had to move his clan and throw himself into the central Xianbei, where he continued to live for a long time.

And the ferocious beast that landed directly from the south of the continent. A part of it was blocked by the imperial army in the south of Yizhou, Jiaozhou, and Yangzhou, and could not advance an inch, and could not poison the population settlements of the empire. Some of them entered the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau from the bay and spread to the eastern countries of the Western Regions and the southwestern part of Liangzhou, soon extincting the small countries in the eastern part of the Western Regions.

The remaining part. entered another powerful empire of this era, the Kushan Dynasty.

The South Asian subcontinent is now under the rule of the Kushan dynasty.

But although the Kushan Dynasty is strong, where can it resist the tide of fierce beasts? The overall strength of this empire is far inferior to that of the former Han Dynasty. In the face of the beast plague, they were like the original princes, who were defeated and retreated.

Since the outbreak of the beast plague last year, it has been nearly a year since the Kushan Dynasty lost its dominance over the entire subcontinent, and its power has shrunk to Central Asia.

Since the Kushan Dynasty couldn't resist it, the fierce beasts naturally spread smoothly into the central and western regions of the Western Regions, and gradually dispersed.

As a result, the western Xianbei also suffered.

Their choice, like the eastern Xianbei, is also closer to the central Xianbei.

The three parts are in one, and the forces seem to have gathered a lot. However, the intrigue in the interior is becoming more and more strict.

Faced with the gradual approach of the fierce beast, they finally recognized the truth and knew that they would definitely not be able to resist, so they had no choice but to ask the Origin Empire to surrender.

Now, the perimeter of the empire is completely surrounded by fierce beasts.

At first glance, this shape is extremely grim.

However, Li Zheng was not worried about this, on the contrary, he was very happy in his heart.

Because the beast helped him a lot!

Li Zheng covets this world, although he is not yet capable of occupying the entire world because of his comprehensive strength, he will always come to this point.

When the time comes, there will definitely be a war with the rest of the world.

This is nothing, Li Zheng believes that no country in this era can resist his army.

What worries him is that there are so many races in the world, and there are huge differences in the cultures, beliefs, customs, and so on of various races and countries.

If we want to unify the whole world, what we really need to consider is not how to defeat them, but how to bring together these people from different regions, different races, different cultures and beliefs.

It's impossible for Li Zheng to slaughter all these non-Han races with a wave of his hand, right?

Even if you kill so many chickens, you will be soft-handed and soft-hearted, not to mention the wise race.

However, at the moment, Li Zheng has found the answer to this question.

The beast, inadvertently, helped him solve this problem.

As time passes, the ferocious beast will multiply and spread to the entire world, and the races of other races, countries, and continents will all face the brutal minions of the ferocious beast.

However, they were not better equipped than armor. There is no more elite army than a war horse. There is no such great power as war spirit!

As a result, they will be severely wounded, and they will be in a desperate situation, and even extinct.

Unless Li Zheng gives support, or even sends troops to rescue, they will definitely have no way to live.

But will Li Zheng give support? Will there be troops to the rescue?

No!

It's not Li Zheng who is murderous and cold-blooded.

There are so many reasons for this.

First, Li Zheng will not be stupid and pay the lives of his soldiers for these races that have nothing to do with each other. Why?

Second, the comprehensive strength of the empire is not strong enough. The most important thing is in terms of population. A huge empire with a territory of 10,000 miles is not enough for a population of 30 or 40 million!

Third. The default imperial territory of the system, Li Zheng has not yet fully grasped it, let alone other regions.

All kinds of reasons, all indicate. In the face of a worldwide beast disaster, the empire is powerless in the short term.

Besides, Li Zheng is still looking at these fierce beasts and cleaning the world again!

For Li Zheng, it is necessary to destroy the fierce beast. It's easier than merging all the races into one!

Of course, the Empire is actually the real target of the beast.

Li Zheng looked at the towering origin tree in front of him, and couldn't help but shake his head helplessly.

The usefulness of this tree is beyond doubt. But it is also a beacon to attract fierce beasts.

However, as long as the emperor ** team is strong enough, a qiē is not a problem. Now the evolutionary beasts that are gradually born in the beast race have also produced some spiritual intelligence. Although it is low, it must be able to realize the strength of the empire. Under the gradual advance of the army, these fierce beasts will be driven out of the territory of the empire - it is the instinct of living beings to avoid evil.

In addition, the origin tree grows faster and faster. More and more non-imperial regions have also been affected, providing an opportunity for the beast race to compromise.

In these areas, the vitality emanating from the Origin Tree will also satisfy the needs of the beast's instincts.

And as the Origin Tree grows, its sphere of influence will sooner or later spread throughout the world. When the time comes, those areas that the empire has not yet occupied will be the paradise of these fierce beasts.

Li Zheng was not worried that under the influence of the Origin Tree, the fierce beast would evolve to the point of being high-end.

There is a system in. Li Zheng believed that the empire could always suppress the fierce beast. And these areas are cages dedicated to keeping fierce beasts in captivity.

When the need arises, send someone to arrest them. That's all.

It's like feeding a pig.

Fierce beasts are also resources!

And it's a great resource!

It's a resource that the system needs!

The stronger the beast evolves, the more useful it will be to the system.

Li Zheng thought that the synthesis requirements of each level of war horses were getting higher and higher, and they couldn't be satisfied. Only these beasts. is the best choice.

So Li Zheng needs them to evolve.

After evolving, it can become the raw material of the synthesis of the war horse, and transform it into Li Zheng's own strength!

Standing under the origin tree, Li Zheng had a lot of thoughts.

For a while, he shook his head and smiled.

The thought of qiē is still far away, and now the empire is only in its infancy. There is still a long way to go to realize the captivity of fierce beasts and use them as a resource.

Just laughed to herself for a while, which made the little chubby girl very strange, Li Zheng suddenly asked: "Little chubby girl, can you estimate the influence range of the origin tree, when will it be able to envelop the entire planet?" ”

"Oh"

The little chubby girl was stunned when she heard this, bit her fingers, and said: "According to the scope of the origin tree now, the angle of the comprehensive horizon, according to the calculation of the little chubby girl, the current scope of the parent body of the origin tree is about four percent of the entire planet. At ten times the current growth rate of the parent Origin Tree, it would take about thirty years for the entire planet to be brought under its influence. ”

"Thirty Years"

Li Zheng narrowed his eyes slightly: "It's not too long." ”

"Of course it's not too long" The little chubby girl grinned: "Master, if the system master is promoted again during this time, the leaked origin power will shorten this time." ”

"That's right."

Li Zheng bowed slightly

On the ninth day of the seventh month, the half-monthly imperial court meeting was once again held in the palace of Li Zheng in the grassland of Shenzhou.

The heads of the government affairs and the military affairs yuan, all dressed in imperial uniforms, arrived at the grassland early in the morning. Although the Imperial Court was held at the end of the day, officials had the habit of coming to the pastures earlier.

Because the grassland has the most intense vitality of the origin tree.

In this environment, the whole person is the most comfortable.

Before the hour, the officials gathered in the side hall for breakfast.

In fact, they came so early, and it also meant to eat.

Who makes the pasture's diet the most memorable!?

After breakfast, the officials left the palace in groups of three or five and roamed the pastures.

There is still nearly an hour before the court meeting is held, and it is very long. (To be continued.) )
