Emperor Suzaku was surnamed Hong, whose name was Lieyang, and he was the twelfth emperor since the founding of Suzaku State.

In the early years, Hong Lieyang was as his name suggested, with a strong temperament, and he was unusually arrogant and domineering, and the first emperor fell in love with Hong Lieyang, so he finally chose to hand over the throne to him.

Facts have proved that the old emperor's choice was not wrong, and on the first day of Hong Lieyang's succession, he united with his teacher, that is, the old lady of the Sheng family, to defeat the Tang family.

The old prime minister Tang Jian was given to death, and the rest of the Tang clan were all wiped out.

And now the Tang family in the court is at most a branch of the previous Tang family, and this generation of the Tang family was named the left prime minister because of their meritorious work in cooperating with Hong Lieyang to exterminate the old Tang family.

The reason why Hong Lieyang dared to promote talents like this was to show other courtiers that as long as he mixed with him, the benefits would be great, and secondly, it was also to use the Tang family to restrain the Sheng family, so as not to make the Sheng family the second old Tang family.

With the mutual checks and balances of the Tang family and the Sheng family in the court, it did save Hong Lieyang a lot of trouble, so that he could let go of his hands and feet and do a good job.

In the second year of the Apocalypse (Hong Lieyang's year name), Hong Lieyang personally issued an edict to recruit young and middle-aged people from all over the country to join the army, wanting to crusade against the Qinglong Kingdom and recover the lost territory of the unknown emperor.

The Emperor of the Apocalypse issued an edict, and there were countless followers, and in less than a week, the Vermilion Bird Kingdom recruited 200,000 recruits, which shows that Hong Lieyang's reputation among the people is also very good.

In the first attack on the Qinglong Kingdom, Hong Lieyang sent an army of 600,000, including 400,000 Praetorian Guards and 200,000 new troops, which were commanded by Yuan Tiangang, a veteran general of the Vermilion Bird Kingdom, who is now the father of Yuan Yang, the generalissimo of soldiers and horses.

The 600,000 Vermilion Bird army entered the Qinglong Kingdom in a mighty manner, and when the Qinglong Kingdom was not prepared at all, it successfully hit the capital of the Qinglong Kingdom, Yaolong City.

Of course, the Qinglong Kingdom is not without capable people, and Feng Luo, the secretary of the Qinglong Kingdom's military department, led 100,000 Qinglong Janissaries in the city to resist desperately, and they resisted the 600,000 army of Suzaku for half a month.

In this half a month, the Qinglong Emperor summoned enough Qinwang troops from various prefectures and counties to gather Yaolong City to counterattack the Suzaku army.

The two sides fought under Yaolong City for several months, and finally due to the cutting off of the grain route of the Suzaku Kingdom, Yuan Tiangang had to order the withdrawal of the army.

When the remnants of the Suzaku army finally fled back to China, Hong Lieyang found that his 600,000 army was now less than 200,000.

On the third day after returning to China, Yuan Tiangang, the commander of the army, hanged himself in Yuanfu because of shame and difficulty, so the first battle of Vermilion Bird and Qinglong fell to admiration.

As the saying goes, there are two if there is one, and the first defeat did not discourage Hong Lieyang's attempt to continue to invade the Qinglong Kingdom.

So, less than two months before the first war, the Emperor of the Apocalypse, Hong Lieyang, ordered to send troops again, this time he personally took command, gathered all the troops of the country, and vowed to take advantage of the fact that the Qinglong Kingdom had not recovered, and conquered it in one fell swoop, opening up territory for Suzaku.

But this time they were not so lucky, this time, the Qinglong Kingdom had already been wary of them, and stationed 300,000 troops at Yuxi Pass on the border between the two countries to prevent Suzaku from attacking again.

Originally, the Qinglong Emperor didn't think that the Vermilion Bird Kingdom still had the courage to fight, although the last time there was no 400,000 troops, it would not let the Vermilion Bird destroy the country, but it was definitely a big injury, and there was no twenty or thirty years that could not be recovered at all.

But what he didn't expect was that this Suzaku Emperor was a madman, and he dared to attack even though he had lost 400,000 troops, which was undoubtedly crazy in the history of war.

Fortunately, the Qinglong Emperor listened to the advice of Feng Luo, the secretary of the military department, and annexed 300,000 at the border pass, blocking the ambition of the Suzaku army to invade.

800,000 fights 300,000, if they fight each other on flat ground, there is no suspense that the 800,000 side will win, but now it is a siege war.

After two days and two nights, the Vermilion Bird Kingdom lost tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, but it did not shake Yuxi Pass.

What Hong Lieyang never expected was that the White Tiger Kingdom, which had a good private chat with Suzaku, suddenly sent troops to attack the city when Suzaku was empty.

In just three days, Suzaku faced the same problem as the last time Qinglong.

The land was lost, and the soldiers were in the capital.

Rao is Hong Lieyang has been on the battlefield for a long time, and he can't help but mess up at this time.

Attack, looking at the posture in front of him, it is estimated that before he can take the Qinglong Kingdom, his lair will be packed by the White Tiger.

Withdraw, this is especially done twice, and if he withdraws again, he Hong Lieyang will not want to gain a foothold in the four countries in the future.

In the end, after thinking about it, Hong Lieyang still led the army to retreat under the "euphemistic" advice of the accompanying generals.

After the White Tiger army saw Suzaku coming back, they didn't dodge, and the White Tiger commander Shangguan Yan left a small part of his troops to continue to surround the Suzaku capital, and the rest of the army was taken north by him, wanting to fight a decisive battle with the Suzaku army.

One of the two sides had just experienced a major battle and was marching long and fast, and the other was waiting for work at ease and was well-equipped.

Daning Mansion, outside Cangshan County, the White Tiger Army won five battles and five victories, completely crushing the Suzaku army.

At this time, the Qinglong Kingdom, which had always played a defensive role, also sent troops to the south to cooperate with the White Tiger army to flank the Suzaku army in front and behind Daning Mansion.

Suzaku, defeated.

In Cangshan County, Daning Prefecture, the Vermilion Bird Apocalypse Emperor, the Qinglong Marshal Feng Luo, and the White Tiger Marshal Shangguan Yan jointly signed the "Cangshan Agreement".

The agreement stipulates that the three counties and twelve cities north of Cangshan County, Suzaku Daning Prefecture, will be divided into the White Tiger Kingdom, and the six cities in the two counties east of Cangshan County will be divided into the Qinglong Kingdom.

After that, Suzaku had to pay war reparations of 300 million taels of silver, 50,000 war horses, and some other silk and porcelain to the two countries.

After the signing of these humiliating treaties, it caused an uproar in Suzaku, and countless people with patriotic ideals condemned Hong Lieyang's traitorous behavior.

If it weren't for the fact that the four major Vermilion Bird families still supported Hong Lieyang, it was very likely that his throne would not be guaranteed.

But after this series of blows, the new Suzaku Emperor, who was originally majestic and wanted to make a big difference, rapidly aged at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The entire Suzaku Imperial Court also presented a lifeless scene.

At this moment, the players descended from heaven like divine soldiers in this declining empire.

Originally, the small Yellow Turban Rebellion, the Emperor of the Apocalypse did not pay attention to it, and the people were in chaos, and only the Suzaku Praetorian Guard was dispatched to exterminate it.

But the Emperor of the Apocalypse gave up on the idea, and the arrival of the Inhumans gave him hope for the rediscovery of the Empire.

Flattening Zhang Liang and destroying Zhang Jiao, although there was also the help of the Vermilion Bird army during the period, the Emperor of the Apocalypse still saw the combat effectiveness of this group of strangers.

Coupled with the strong support of the veterans in the army, Yuan Yang and Ma Zuo, the dying Emperor of the Apocalypse suddenly had a bold idea.
