This incident was a joke among Usser's high society, but the little nobleman also made a profit, and took the opportunity of this pilgrimage to marry his daughter into a wealthy family and climb into a powerful family.

In fact, after each Hajj is celebrated, the city of Urssel is followed by a wave of wedding peaks. For people in this class, biennial gatherings and socializing are too important.

Show your strength, make friends, and communicate with your in-laws, which one doesn't use money?

The large amount of wealth flowing from them nourished the entire New Summer, and was used in the national economy and people's livelihood under the careful deployment of the royal court.

In addition, in recent years, the government has been harmonious and the grain has been abundant, and it is reasonable that the national strength of Xinxia has risen significantly.

Yun Jie also sincerely admired Feng Miaojun's methods. Why do you need to find ways to exploit and loot bureaucrats and civilians? The elites lined up to give her money, willingly lest she would not accept it.

The benefits of this are obvious:

The descendants of the powerful have grown up in the city of Urssel since childhood, and regard this place as their hometown, even if they are stationed in the local area in the future, how can they be willing to turn against the water and target their homeland?

It would take another decade or two for the power of this decree to become apparent, but the other two decrees were immediate:

The money of the magnates and local tyrants is about to be sucked up by the vampire queen, where can they have the money to rebel?

Of course, there are pros and cons to everything. Feng Miaojun also knew that the decree he had made single-handedly led to pompous and extravagant, but in the face of the great benefits it brought and the pressing problems facing Xinxia, these could be put aside for the time being.

Concentrating on doing great things is the goal she is pursuing.

As for the process, she can do whatever it takes.

"What a sinister queen, but I like it. Yun Kui sighed, other monarchs are calculating other countries, but the monarch of Xinxia is even calculating his own people. But what if the magnates could see it clearly? She made the rules, and everyone had to play like this, and all the nobles lived in one circle, and they had to follow the way they were played—unless they wanted to be kicked out.

But think about it from another angle, although they have no cash in their hands, their assets have expanded. As long as the city of Urssel and the golden trade route continued to flourish, their homes and properties were great wealth.

Feng Miaojun only used a few simple tricks to tie all the nobles to his chariot, making them both prosperous and lossy with Xinxia. It's no wonder that King Yan has been secretly tossing in the past few years to no avail.

"I don't know when I will be able to marry you back. ”

Feng Miaojun couldn't help laughing: "You dare to marry me, I'm afraid that the Xinxia people will immediately turn back." Over the years, after her intentional guidance, the relationship between Xinxia and Wei has been greatly eased, and the silk and lacquerware of Wei have been widely used in Xinxia, and the products of Xinxia and Yandi have also been introduced to Wei through the gold trade route.

Even the two sides have jointly developed several spirit stone veins.

But this does not mean that there is no estrangement between Wei and Xia, and they can sit back and watch their queen marry each other's national teachers. Hatred can be put aside for a while, but the wounds left by the countless years of war in people's hearts are far from healing.

"We still need an opportunity. Yun Kui had a whim, "Why don't we give birth to a baby, you can throw the throne to it, and we will go to the world." ”

Feng Miaojun poked his forehead: "It's a beautiful idea! How do you want me to explain the child's biological father to my subjects?" She is twenty-five this year, and she is still not married, and the old ministers in the court are about to turn gray. At this time, another child of unknown origin will pop up, which can be called a royal scandal, and will scare the old pedants to the ground.

Alas, other little couples are full of love and water, and it's a big deal to leave everything behind and elope. What about her?

Although the world is big, there is no place for her and Yun Kui.

There was nothing even Yun Lai could do about this crux, so she had to grab her thin waist and play tricks: "No matter, anyway, you have to marry me in the end!"

Feng Miaojun remembered that the smoke of gunpowder had risen again, and the next time the two met again, he didn't know when he would have to endure it, and his heart softened, and he took advantage of the situation to press him down, acting recklessly.

Separation is imminent, how can we solve our worries? The only way to solve our worries is ......

On this night, the peach blossom trees sounded and fell.

￥￥￥￥￥

Three days later, the Xinxia royal court really received a battle report from the front line of Yan Wei.

This earth-shattering battle finally fired the first shot. On the night of the Fire Festival, the Yan army crossed the border brazenly in the night, advanced twenty miles in one night, and won three outposts on the front line.

Then, they encountered the real front line of the battle between the two armies, the Xiongcheng Tongming Pass.

The Yan State inherited the border from Qianxi, on the land bridge where the north and south continents meet. The topography of this land bridge resembles a leftover apple core, thin and narrow, separating the two oceans. On both sides of it, the West Narrow Bay faces the Endless Sea, while the East Narrow Bay faces the Forbidden Sea.

However, no matter how slender and long the land bridge is, the area is the size of three Usher Cities, so it is impossible to break it like when Yu really blew up the land bridge outside Yinggong City.

Fortunately, there are arched mountains on this bridge, and there is only one road that can really accommodate people between the cliffs, which is not more than a hundred feet wide, easy to defend and difficult to attack.

The Wei State established the Tongming Pass here, the thickness of the wall was originally three zhang, after the Yan State annexed the Xi State, it was reinforced three times in succession, and set up a formation arch guard, and now it has become a fortress armed to the teeth, it is really called "Xiongguan is like iron".

After another half a month, the new battle report came, and the hearts of the new Xia courtiers sank.

If you want to capture Tongming Pass head-on, even if the Yan army can do it in the end, you must pay a heavy price. Not to mention how much the impact of the division's defeat in the first battle will have on the morale of the army. Therefore, the Yan army also sent several other teams to invade from the Piaosha Islands on the east side of the land bridge, hoping to adopt a roundabout technique to outflank Tongming Pass from the rear and make it lose its resistance power.

Naturally, the Wei people are not stupid, and they have long foreseen this. The coast of the East Narrow Bay is full of steep and strange cliffs, and only a few gentle beaches can be landed, all of which are heavily guarded by the defenders.

The cruelty of the beach-grabbing landing battle is not much worse than that under the Tongming Pass, and as soon as the battle is fought, the corpses are all over the field.

It stands to reason that in the battle of the beach, the defender generally has the advantage, not to mention that Yan and Wei are both powerful countries in the world, and there is not much difference in the quality of both cultivators and ordinary soldiers. However, no one expected that the Yan army would actually sacrifice a secret weapon in this battle-

An army of Krakens.

I don't know what Yan Guo said about mobilizing the leader of the demon army to help in the battle, this group of thousands of krakens rushed to the front line of the Drifting Sand Islands, tearing a gap for the Yan army, and reversing the situation in one fell swoop.

Immediately after the loss of the East Fjord, the Yan army attacked Tongming Pass from behind and won a great victory.
