Chapter 157: Gunsmoke Spreads

There is a very magical place in the northwest of the Great Yuan Celestial Empire, and this place is called Tongyuan Province.

There's not much to say about the name (because I took it casually), but the place is truly magical.

I emphasized the magic twice.

It stands to reason that the farther north you go, the colder the weather becomes, but here, it's the other way around.

The whole province of Tongyuan is a very warm place, although it will be a little hotter in summer, but the temperature in winter is indeed not low.

But what is the reason for this phenomenon?

In fact, there is a very powerful place in Tongyuan Province, that is, there is a giant volcano in Tongyuan Province.

Moreover, it has erupted several times in history, so it is an active volcano, and the magma under the ground is constantly rolling, so there is a strange weather in Tongyuan Province.

People living in Tongyuan Province call the volcano a flaming mountain.

Because of the threat of volcanoes, Tongyuan Province is actually a very sparsely populated place, and sometimes you may not be able to see a human settlement after walking hundreds of miles.

So why are we talking about this?

There's a reason for that.

Because Tongyuan Province is vast and sparsely populated, it can be said that it is a natural Tibetan military land.

You put hundreds of thousands of troops here, like a drop of water melted into the sea, there is no trace of it, and there is no land to cultivate, because after several rounds of volcanic eruptions, the land has turned into solid rock, so it is also very difficult to cultivate, which leads to the fact that only the border between Tongyuan Province and other provinces can still have land for cultivation, and there is the place where disputes are most likely to occur.

Because real estate resources are not abundant, no one wants to come here. And it's hard to make political achievements here, no matter how good you do, no one wants to admit it. So King Pingxi didn't have much effort to turn this place into his territory.

What did the king of Pingxi do here?

It's very simple, as I said before, he used this place to raise soldiers.

Because he found a benefit here, the materials here are not rich enough, which leads to the fact that there are fewer people in this place, as the so-called poor mountains and bad waters come out of the people, so the men here are more brave and ruthless, there is a wolf nature, and that kind of soldier, very aggressive, is the best source of soldiers.

In addition, the sky is high and the emperor is far away, those people don't value imperial power, they only know the most simple truth, whoever is good to them will follow.

The king of Pingxi gave them food, and they were willing to lay down their lives for him.

On this day, a man appeared here.

The man was dressed in a long gown and had a long beard, and he looked a little stylish.

But the style of this thing doesn't play a role here.

He came to a hidden stockade on the border of Tongyuan Province.

In fact, this village is not secret, but the location of the construction is slightly closer to the center of Tongyuan Province, that is, the Flame Mountain.

But it's summer.

That person also felt a wave of heat coming over his face when he came here.

The steaming heat made him unable to open his eyes. But fortunately, he was mentally prepared for this.

Come to the gate of the stockade.

The man looked at the soldiers walking around the simple walls of the stockade and couldn't help but nod.

The quality of these soldiers can be said to be very good. Whether it is in terms of military discipline or physique, it can be said that it is a tiger and wolf soldier.

The man was satisfied.

Calling to open the gate, the man asked the soldiers to inform the chief general here.

After a short time, a big man with a tiger's back came out of the stockade.

On this hot day, he was dressed in armor.

"Mr. Yue, please forgive Qian for being in armor and not being able to pay full salutes. The big man saluted this person and said solemnly.

"General Qian's words are serious, Yue Mouzuo is just a strategist, and he has no power to restrain the chicken, and it is you people who are really fighting. I should have saluted you!" said this, but he only owed a debt, and he seemed to be full of pride.

However, this big man surnamed Qian didn't care, the person surnamed Yue in front of him had his arrogant capital.

As one of the most relied on advisors under the command of King Pingxi, this person surnamed Yue is obviously the kind of person who has no outstanding achievements, but you have to admit that people like this are generally very scary.

The big man surnamed Qian was originally a very arrogant person. But he didn't dare to go crazy in front of this person.

Because he had been sanctioned before.

I won't say much about it here, maybe I'll talk about it later.

In fact, in a sense, people who play with intrigue are much more terrible than people who play with muscles.

Although we often say that one force will drop ten times, but sometimes some people are smart and sell you, and it is possible that you are still helping him count the money.

General Qian said that he was very in awe of this person, although he claimed that he was powerless, but it was definitely not something that General Qian could offend.

Although he has been here to help King Pingxi train soldiers, he can be called King Pingxi's henchman. But if this person surnamed Yue wants to mess with him, he has nothing to counter.

This man is by no means a generous person.

When he came to the house where General Qian lived in the village, General Qian let him sit on the head, and the surnamed Yue pushed him and sat down.

"Is there something Mr. Yue has come here to say?" General Qian asked after a few polite words with him.

"There are indeed some things. Speaking of this, the face surnamed Yue became serious, and then he said, "King Pingxi is ready to do it!"

"Are you really going to do it?" General Qian's face was happy, which meant that he didn't have to stay here to train his troops, for a martial artist, this was simply the best news!

His surname Qian has long been here enough, and there are no people within a radius of hundreds of miles, this kind of loneliness can simply torture the dead!

"That's right. The surnamed Yue said, "The king of Pingxi has an order, he ordered you to take the three provinces of southern Anhui, Shanzhi, and Huabo outside Tongyuan Province within a month, and someone will cooperate with you!"

"Subordinate Qian Weichang, take the order!" Qian Weichang knelt on the ground excitedly and said loudly!

He had been waiting for this day for a long time!

......

King Pingxi made a move.

This manual without warning, in just three months, he burned the flames of war to more than ten provinces in the world, and the major forces in other provinces also rose up one after another, playing the banner of the prince and general Xiangning, and began to burn and loot, for a while, the world fell into chaos, the Great Yuan Heavenly Dynasty's control of the world became extremely fragile, Yun Ming's orders could not even be issued in the capital, and the provinces still under the control of the dynasty were only Jiangnan, Ganzhou, Sili and Fenglin, and several provinces in Jiang.

Of the thirty provinces in the world, only six areas, including Bianjing, are still under the control of the royal family. 21
