The twelfth year of the Great Cause, autumn.

After experiencing the siege of Yanmen last year, Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty fell into a state of depression and completely lost his former sharpness.

For the king of the Ping Kingdom to destroy the emperor, for the emperor and the queen of the three expeditions to Goryeo, think about the Sui Emperor Yang Guang's ambition at the beginning, which can be vividly revealed from the era name he set.

However, to this day, Daye, which contains Yang Guang's endless expectations and pride, has become the biggest irony for him.

Therefore, after suffering a heavy blow, Yang Guang, who was exhausted and no longer had the slightest fighting spirit, finally chose to leave the north where the power of the various gate lords was overturned, and went to Jiangdu to start the extravagant enjoyment of the last few years of his imperial career.

With the loss of Emperor Yang Guang of Sui, the northern part of the empire, which was already surging in the dark tide, fell into a rebellion full of wolf smoke.

Among them, the most powerful rebel army is the growing Wagangzhai.

Compared to the chaotic northern part of the empire, the situation in the south is relatively calm.

To be precise, it is in the Lingnan area south of Wuling, where it is still in a quiet and peaceful place.

No matter how the great enemies of the Central Plains rebel frequently, how wolf smoke spreads, but this Lingnan region is still like a paradise.

The reason why the Lingnan region is so calm is because there is an incomparably large force entrenched here, the Lingnan Song Dynasty.

In the land of Lingnan, the Song valve is the master here.

The voice of the Lord of the Song Valve is more effective here than the Holy Decree of the Great Sui.

The Song valve originated in the late Jin Dynasty and the Northern and Southern Dynasties, and was founded by Song Beifeng, the world's top master at that time, and has a long history of hundreds of years.

When today's gate valve family does not know how many, especially the four gate valves are the largest, namely Lingnan Song Valve, Taiyuan Li Valve, Lonely Valve and Yuwen Valve.

Looking at the four major valves, Li Valve, Dugu Valve, and Yuwen Valve are all mixed with Hu blood.

Only the Song Dynasty has always adhered to the tradition and strictly forbade intermarriage between clansmen and people other than the Han Chinese.

Therefore, the Song Dynasty, the only surviving southern clan that maintained its prestige, has always been regarded as the orthodoxy of the Han nationality by the world.

The Song valve is not only famous, but its power is also huge and powerful, and it is the existence of the first of the four major valves.

Although judging from the number of troops, the entire Song valve has no more than 30,000 troops at most, which is far inferior to the Li valve, Dugu valve and Yuwen valve, who grasp the power of the Great Sui court.

It's just that there are 30,000 elite soldiers of the Song Dynasty, but it is enough to make the world frightened and shocked.

After Emperor Wen Yang Jian destroyed Chen, he once sent a strong general to lead 100,000 elite soldiers to Pingling Lingnan, but in the end, Song was the lord of the Song Dynasty with a lack of 12 troops, and the Sui soldiers were not allowed to advance half an inch in Cangwu.

Song Que won ten battles and ten victories, and since then, the elite soldiers of the Song valve have shocked the whole world.

As a last resort, Emperor Wen Yang Jian could only adopt the Huairou approach, canonize Song Que as the Duke of Zhennan, and divide the autonomy south of Wuling.

As long as the Song valve is not chaotic, the entire Lingnan region will be as stable as the five mountains of Mount Tai.

The Songjia Mountain City, where the Song valve is located, is the core of the entire Lingnan region.

Songjiashan City is located at the confluence of the Yushui River, facing the water on three sides, and the majestic mountains are towering.

The whole behemoth mountain city is built by huge boulders, rising from the mountainside, changing with the mountain, and graceful along the mountain.

The theme building of the mountain city is located on a large flat land carved out from the mountains, and its terrain is steep, quite a bit of the momentum of a man who is not open.

Looking down from the heights, the Song family mountain city is in the mountains and plains nearby, facing Yulin County in the distance, which symbolizes that the Song valve is the unstoppable ruler of the entire Lingnan region.

The mountains are lingering, the water is circulating, rugged and dangerous, even if there are tens of thousands of elite soldiers coming to the city, the Songjia mountain city is also immovable.

At the foot of Songjiashan City, dozens of large warehouses and hundreds of large and small wharves have been built along the bank of the Yuhe River, which is where the transportation hub of Songjiashan City is located.

The water was rippling, and a building boat slowly docked to the edge of the pier, and the merchants and passengers carried on it walked down from the ship in an orderly manner.

Of the group, there was only one person who attracted the most attention, and that was a young man who didn't look very old.

He was dressed in some round-necked python pattern robes, which were quite different from the costumes in circulation in the Great Sui today.

It is precisely because of this that this young man has attracted the attention of the surrounding pedestrians.

In addition to the slightly different dress, the long knife that the young man carried at his waist was also particularly eye-catching.

Nowadays, the practice of martial arts is very popular, and it has never been uncommon for people to have swords on their waists.

However, the knife on the young man's waist was extremely extravagant, gilded with silver and inlaid with jade carvings, nothing more than that.

The python-patterned robe with the luxurious treasure knife actually made the young man's body show a huge momentum of majesty.

Although this young man does not look like an ordinary person, but when has there ever been a lack of stupid people who have been blinded by lard?

All of a sudden, there was a hint of greed in the depths of many people's eyes, but they were so hot by the incomparably precious sword.

However, when they wondered what this place was, these people could only forcibly suppress the heat in their eyes.

This is the Song family mountain city, and the people of the Song valve can't allow them to disturb the order and stability of the Song family mountain city.

If it weren't for the crookedness, then in the end, it would be better to stop a little bit on the boundary of the Song family's mountain city.

The young man didn't seem to notice the bad eyes of some people around him one after another, or maybe he didn't care at all.

After walking down the spiral staircase to himself, he raised his eyes to look up at the towering and precipitous Song Family Mountain City, and secretly sighed in his heart and muttered: "This is the Song Family Mountain City?" I didn't expect to be sent to the boat that came to this Songjia Mountain City. ”

This young man was none other than Zhou Chen, who had just urged the vast star map to break through the boundary.

As soon as he arrived in this world, Zhou Chen found that he was on a building ship, which was full of merchants and travelers from different places.

Through the conversations of these business travelers, Zhou Chen gradually heard some useful information.

For example, it is now the twelfth year of the great cause, and Yang Guang, the Emperor of Sui who was given a Yang name by his cousin, is still alive and well, and now he is enjoying himself in the Jiangdu territory.

Another example is that the place where the building ship is about to arrive at the foot is called Songjiashan City, which is the base camp of the Song valve in Lingnan.

All kinds of intelligence information were gathered together, which made Zhou Chen gradually figure out the general situation of the world he was in at the moment.
