Chapter 85: Destroying the Clouds (1)
Daqian Qingzhou.
At this time, it was already late autumn, and the pasture grass was gradually withering, and in addition to that, there were large tracts of fertile land that had been reclaimed from the area.
Many huge forts were built between the fertile fields, showing the pomp and circumstance of full grain warehouses.
At this time, all the roads in Qingzhou were full of caravans, including Yunmeng people, Daqian people, and people from the Western Regions, cattle, sheep, horses, iron, porcelain, silk, spices, gold, silver, jewelry, and all kinds of rare medicinal materials, as if they were transported without money.
The border pass, which was originally sparsely populated, is now a town in ten miles and a city in thirty miles, and it is extremely prosperous.
This scene is almost more prosperous than that of Nanzhou, where all kinds of good things gather.
In particular, the soldiers on some large and small cities are also extremely strong, even the most inferior soldiers guarding the city gate are wearing soft armor twisted from Xuangang silk, holding Xuangang war knives, tigers and bears, and hundreds of taels of equipment. It gives people a sense of peace of mind.
The land of the four provinces of Qingzhou, and even the land of the seven states and twenty-five provinces on the long eastern border, almost all of them are the territory of the champion Hou.
The champion Hou is the uncrowned king here, and the central government's decrees will be greatly discounted when he arrives, and even the governor is elected by him, and the court has never refutated it.
What's even more powerful is the eyeliner of the champion Hou, no one knows how many eyeliners are staring at the people coming and going in the huge land of the seven eastern states, and thousands of pieces of information are transmitted to the Qingzhou Champion Hou Mansion every day. The analysis of the bureaucracy group one by one was completed, and finally gathered into an abridgement, so that the confidantes of the champion Hou and the wives took care of it, and finally handed it over to the hands of the champion Hou.
It is even rumored that even if a fly arrives in Qingzhou, if it is engraved on its wings, it will be discovered by the spies of the champion Hou. Or the prince and nobleman of Yujing City, who occasionally discussed the champion at night, will also be known by this person.
The power is terrifyingly large.
The Champion Hou Mansion is located on the central axis of Qingzhou, a series of tall and majestic buildings, gardens and gardens, with a radius of dozens of miles. It is full of pavilions, eaves arches, labyrinths, palaces within palaces, thousands of slaves every day, guards in and out, but only in order, not chaotic at all, showing a huge management ability, much better than the management of the palace.
There was once a good literati who gave the mansion of the champion Hou a name, called "Elysium Palace". It is the ancient holy emperor after the sky soared, his queen was arrogant and lascivious, built a big prostitution den, which lasted for 300 miles, and later people burned it down.
Later, this good literati was immediately killed by the champion Hou and exposed his body, and no one dared to mention it again.
At this time, in a mysterious place in this Hou Mansion.
The two of them were discussing a secret matter.
One of them sits, one stands.
The person sitting is very young, seventeen or eighteen years old, wearing a brocade robe, this person is the champion Hou!
And the person who was sitting, wearing a pitch-black cloak, with an extremely long figure and a narrow face, revealed the ferocity of the wolf king all the time, it was Bi Shihua, the black wolf king who dominated the grassland and one of the eight great demon immortals in the world, and was also the marshal who commanded the most powerful cavalry on the grassland, "Tiefutu"!
The two people, who were supposed to be enemies, stood face to face.
"Champion Hou, you said that His Majesty asked us to send troops today, is it a little inappropriate?"
Black Wolf King Bi Shihua showed a trace of worry on his face.
"What about defects?"
Champion Hou smiled bitterly, "We are not qualified to bargain with Your Majesty, if we dare to go against Your Majesty's will today, our head may not be guaranteed tomorrow." ”
"You're right!"
"Black Wolf King, since you have already taken refuge in Daqian, don't be afraid of this and that, and serve Daqian wholeheartedly!"
Champion Hou showed a strange smile on his face, "Your Majesty has gone to the Xuantian Pavilion, I estimate that the Xuantian Pavilion is over, and as soon as the Xuantian Pavilion is finished, Yunmeng will be in chaos, and this is also our chance to make meritorious contributions." ”
"Alas, hopefully!"
The Black Wolf King sighed lightly.
A moment of silence ensued.
After a while, there was a sudden commotion outside, and the champion Hou frowned slightly, this is his secret room, and other idlers can't enter at all, and those who can enter here are their own henchmen, these people naturally know the rules, at such a time, what will be the consequences of the noise.
"Is it ......?"
Suddenly, as if he had thought of something, the champion Hou glanced at the Black Wolf King, who nodded, turned around and walked into a secret door in the secret room.
"What's the noise?!"
Champion Hou coughed lightly and asked loudly.
"Master Hou, something happened!"
I saw that the Condor King rushed straight in, and the few beautiful women who followed behind him couldn't stop him.
"Well, Condor King, what is it that makes you so flustered?"
Seeing the person coming, the champion Hou's face sank and scolded.
"Master Hou, something is wrong, something is wrong!"
"What's the big deal that makes you so panicked?!"
Champion Hou raised his eyebrows, and a trace of puzzlement flashed, the Condor King has always been a very calm person, ordinary things should not let him be like this, is there something big that he didn't expect?
"Master Hou, Yunmeng is finished."
"Yunmeng is finished?"
When Champion Hou heard this, his heart was also moved, "How is Yunmeng finished?" ”
"The owner and wife of the Yunmeng Xuantian Pavilion suddenly slaughtered the strong men of Yunmeng with a group of mysterious masters last night, among which the Yunmeng royal family was the worst, not a single member of the royal family survived, all of them died, and all of the ghosts and immortals and martial saints of Yunmeng disappeared overnight, including the super strong man of the Peacock King."
"Oh, isn't your message wrong? All missing or dead? ”
Champion Hou was stunned for a moment, but did not react, and when he reacted, his heart was extremely excited.
Who would have thought that the top echelons of Yunmeng were wiped out all at once, and no one was left.
The clouds are gone.
There is no possibility of turning over again.
As a country on the grassland, Yunmeng maintains order based on strength, whether it is the battle for the throne or the position of the tribal leader, it is respected by the strong, unlike the big cadres and the scholar class.
Now these strong men are all gone all at once, and if they lose their leaders, they will not be able to form a strong cohesion.
Champion Hou also knew that at this time, the best time to send troops had come.
The fat on the current Yunmeng chopping board is at the mercy of others.
In the 60th year of Daqian, on August 13, the champion Hou sent troops to Yunmeng.
Bi Shihua, the marshal of Yunmeng's most powerful cavalry "Tiefutu", accepted the Great Qian'an Zhao'an and was named "Yunhou" by the Jade Emperor.
Then a decree was made known to the world.
"The Jade Emperor has a decree: Yunmeng has repeatedly committed great crimes, slaughtered soldiers and civilians, and the hatred of the country and the family cannot be avenged, all the great cadres and warriors can go with the soldiers and horses of the imperial court, and all the spoils of war belong to themselves, and those who have made meritorious contributions will be treated equally with the soldiers of the imperial court, and they will be knighted and marquis."
