For the soldiers of the Western Expedition, today is a day worth celebrating.

Those guys of the Red Eagle Federation were suddenly attacked by them when they failed to open the secret vault of the Ancient Kingdom.

The army of 100,000, under the leadership of Chen Jintuo and others, directly surrounded the army of the Red Eagle Federation.

Surround but not kill, cut off its back road.

Grain and grass do not enter, and the camp is held.

They camped on an oasis around the Ancient Kingdom Secret Vault, and after Chen Jintuo determined the plan, he directly explored the terrain around the Ancient Kingdom Secret Vault.

Their camping site happened to be in a low-lying area.

Hold the high slope so that they cannot leave this low-lying area, and by the way, cut off their food and grass supply.

In this way, they could not escape.

"It's been six days, and I guess some of them can't hold on. ”

Zhang Laosi stood on the hillside and looked down, of course, it was not only him and General Chen who came this time.

Naturally, there are also masters sitting behind the camp.

The three members of the Howling Moon Heavenly Wolf and General Song all came here, afraid that there would be masters in the ranks of the Red Eagle Federation.

Of course, there will definitely be masters in this, but, looking at the current situation, there should be a lot of losses.

Such a rash intrusion into the secret vaults of the ancient country, I am afraid that the masters of their race must also be a tribe that has been excluded by the Federation.

"General, when do you think they will come out and surrender?"

Zhang Laosi asked, and Chen Jintuo said with great certainty:

"Today. ”

"So sure?"

"Of course. ”

Chen Jintuo was very sure, because, when he fought with them before, he had already figured out the resources in this oasis.

The fresh water in this oasis is not as abundant as imagined, and an army of such a size of the Red Eagle Federation is the limit of six days.

For the sake of the ancient country's secrets, they almost sent out more than 50,000 troops of a tribe.

The leader of this tribe should be a high-ranking leader of the fourth order of the gods.

This level also has a certain right to speak in the Red Eagle Federation, and the reason why he was sent here to find the secret of the ancient kingdom must have been excluded.

In this way, it is extremely unlikely that the Federation will rescue their tribe from within.

"Look, General!"

"Someone's coming!"

Zhang Laosi hurriedly looked down the hillside, and suddenly, they saw a group of soldiers holding their weapons high, and these people had white ribbons wrapped around their heads.

In the Red Eagle Federation, this is what it means to surrender!

There were more and more such soldiers, and they came out of the oasis in a very organized way and made their way up the hillside.

"Call Tang Xin and them, summon the Frost Giant, and greet the captives!"

After speaking, Chen Jintuo showed a victorious smile, these nomads are not strong-willed people.

In the Red Eagle Federation, there are many nomadic tribes, but more of them are those Maozi in the north.

Those hairy people are much more iron-blooded than the nomads, and of course, they also look down on the nomads.

Therefore, within the Red Eagle Federation, the status of nomads has always been low.

As the surrendered soldiers gradually walked up the hill, their bodies were also shackled one by one.

More than 40,000 shackles, and many of these nomads have died in the previous raids.

Therefore, the remaining more than 40,000 troops all surrendered, which was also an unexpected result for Chen Jintuo.

As for why they all chose to surrender, the reason is simple.

Their tribal leader had fallen inside the vaults of the Ancient Kingdom.

According to the two deputy commanders, the terrifying creatures hidden inside the ancient kingdom directly killed their leader, and did not give the two of them a chance to rescue at all.

Moreover, inside the secret vault, they saw the true Buddha of the Tianzhu Kingdom, and the true Buddha also directly expelled them, so this operation ended in failure.

"We have long expected that this is a means of excluding dissent within the Federation......"

A deputy commander said that his name was very long, so General Song Tianbao couldn't remember it at all.

simply, he was named Ada.

The first syllable of his name is Da, and it is understandable to be called Ada.

The people who interrogated him included General Song, Tang Xin, and San'er.

Tang Xin sat directly opposite Ada, while General Song and Sanjia'er watched from a distance in the back position.

"In that case, why do you still choose to come here?"

"Because if we don't come here, we'll be sent to the westbound desert to face you directly at the Qianrenxia Pass. ”

Ada naturally knew Song Tianbao, and he was deeply impressed by this old general, everyone in the Red Eagle Federation.

At the beginning, he was a soldier and hit the pass of the Tianshan Mountains.

If it weren't for the fact that the grain and grass at that time were really not available, they would definitely cross the Tianshan Pass.

Just like now, the Cloud Empire has grown too rich after all these years.

They are fully capable of assigning all the westward deserts to their territory, and then occupy the Tianshan Pass.

"So, your current situation should be homeless?"

Tang Xin asked, Ada took a deep breath and said:

"It seems to me that when the Commander dies, the Federation will abandon us. ”

"Moreover, now that we are captives of the Cloud Empire, they will never find a way to rescue us. ”

"Because, the cloud is too strong now. ”

Looking at the three people in front of him, Ada felt a kind of despair.

When he first fought the tug-of-war in the Western Desert, he was already very clear.

The strength of the Cloud Empire should be about the same as the strength of the entire West combined.

Such a terrifying country, after several years of prosperity and development, will only become more terrifying.

Relying on the Red Eagle Federation alone, there is no chance at all......

"We, choose to surrender. ”

Ada thought for a while, and finally said what he thought.

"If possible, we are willing to become vassals of the Cloud Empire. ”

"I, my friends, my subordinates, my soldiers, can be your vassals. ”

"As long as you provide a place for us people......"

After Ada finished speaking, the three of them and General Song glanced at each other and smiled.

Don't you say, there's a nice errand to delegate to them.

If the Empire really makes the Westward Desert its own territory, then manpower here is a big problem.

Infrastructure construction, the construction of villages, and the maintenance of border gates are all major problems.

If these more than 40,000 troops, plus the 50,000 displaced people, can become the garrison of the Westbound Desert, then the Westbound Desert can really have a future of development.

The premise is that he cannot escape the control of the Empire.

"If it's possible......"

Tang Xin looked at General Song and the three of them, and General Song nodded.

"Oh can promise you. ”

After General Song finished speaking, he got up and walked towards Ada.

"But you have to promise Russia one thing first!"

"You say!"

"Completely, let's break with the Red Eagle Federation. ”

General Song smiled, and this smile made Ada feel terrified......

The year 337 of the Yuan calendar is destined to be an extraordinary year.

During this year, Ada, the deputy leader of the Kui Duo Sang tribe, announced that the tribe had completely separated itself from the Red Eagle Federation.

This incident caused a huge sensation in the Red Eagle Federation, and while angrily denouncing Ada's treachery, the Federation deployed heavy troops to guard the southern border of the Federation!

Because, the Tianshan Pass was completely occupied by the cloud people, and at the same time, in April of early summer, Empress Yang Yi announced that the westward desert would be completely divided into the territory of the cloud empire.

The westward desert was renamed Yunjiang.

It stands to reason that Yunjiang should appear as the tenth province of the empire, but it was not built according to the specifications of a province.

Instead, the province of Yunjiang will have full authority from the Liangzhou Prefecture.

In addition to the 50,000 homeless people and the more than 40,000 nomads of the Kui Duosan tribe, a new army has arrived.

This new unit is the Tiger and Leopard Rider of the Western Desert!

10,000 tigers and leopards have become the highest combat effectiveness in Yunjiang Province, guarding this Tianshan Pass all the year round, and, at the same time, between the Qianrenxia Pass and the Tianshan Pass, an official road was directly built quickly.

On this official road, based on the Hidden Dragon Society in the Western Desert, several post stations were established.

On the basis of this official road, planning and construction began on both sides of the official road, and suddenly, Yunjiang Province began to carry out drastic reforms.

In April, the Western Expedition returned to Yunjing, and for Yunjing, it was a day of triumph.

"Big news! big news!"

The scholars in the Kirin Courtyard are once again hot.

"General Song Tianbao led a large army to directly take the westward desert!"

"The empire has named the westward desert - Yunjiang!"

"Really!"

"It's incredible!"

Everyone was shocked by this sudden announcement, because the Battle of the Western Desert, which was still going on a few years ago, has only experienced a few moments now, and there has been such a breakthrough.

Not only did it go out of Qianren Gorge, but it also directly incorporated the westward desert into the territory!

I have to say that the officers and men of Zhongzhou are all good examples! Raise the prestige of our country and expel the Tartars!

This kind of good event is naturally to celebrate, so today's Yunjing is extremely lively.

"Things in the West Desert have been settled, but I don't know what is going on in the north. ”

Yan Taishou and Shen Qing came to Yunjing yesterday, and the Jiangzhou Mansion was calmed down early, so they also had to come to Yunjing to report.

As soon as he came to Yunjing, he learned the news of the pacification of the Western Desert.

"On the river, Li Junhan, Li County Lord and Zhang He have already gone there, and there is no news yet. ”

They were greeted by Tang Buregret, the master of the Hidden Tang Sect, after all, Shen Qing was also his brother-in-law who had never passed the door, and he was just in time for him to do business in Yunjing in recent days, so it was inevitable that he would be entertained.

"As for Hexia, it seems that the second prince is negotiating the conditions of cooperation with the people from the open sea, and he can't talk about it for a while. ”

"The money of people from other seas is relatively easy to make, and if this trade route can be opened, then the profits are huge. ”

After Tang Buregret finished speaking, Shen Qing shook his head helplessly.

The two princes went out under the guise of going to the river to pacify foreign enemies, but as a result, after a long time, they still went to talk about a wave of business.

I have to feel embarrassed, this second prince is really leisurely.

"Jiangzhou is pacified, although Luxian Palace has lost a second-generation disciple, but we have gained more things. ”

Shen Qing handed a drawing to Tang Buregret, frowned, and read the drawing.

"This is, the warship you reported earlier?"

The thing drawn on this drawing is a huge battleship, in addition to the battleship, there is also the huge magic energy cannon, the giant cannon that can bomb the peak powerhouse of the concentrating to death, it is definitely valuable for research.

"What do you think?"

Shen Qing asked, Tang Buregret smacked his lips and said:

"I should let the people in the castle tower study it, I can't read it. ”

After speaking, Tang did not regret returning the drawings to Shen Qing.

"Where's my brother who didn't make it?"

"Tang Er is in charge, and he is looking after the family in Jiangzhou Mansion. ”

Yan Taishou said with a smile, of course, let him take care of the house, his opinion is very big.

He really wanted to accompany Shen Qing on a trip, but if there was only Wen Tingting in Jiangzhou Mansion, it would still be a little uneasy.

After all, George and Anna's situation is special and they can't be left alone.

Therefore, I can only grieve Tang Ke to continue to watch.

"You can arrange to enter the palace in the afternoon, so many things have happened in less than half a month. ”

But isn't it, less than half a month has passed since the end of the World Competition, and during this time, it was another foreign invasion and a sectarian conspiracy, but it raised everyone's hearts to their throats.

Now, the Western Desert is pacified, and Jiangzhou is pacified

, but also a good sign.

"Who is the Tang Sect Master waiting for in Yunjing?"

"Oh yes, I'm going to pick up my grandson. ”

Tang Buregret smiled, that's right, today is the day Tang Xin returns from the Western Desert.

Previously, Lin Laozu Lin Luan had already said that when Tang Xin came back from the Western Desert, he would directly arrange a marriage for him and Lin Ruo.

This Tang Xin has earned a lot of military merit this time.

This is really surprising that he directly became a hero with the rank of quasi-major general.

Even Zhang Laosi, the mountain artillery, directly promoted him to major general.

Chen Jintuo was directly promoted to lieutenant general to make up for Mao Zhuo's vacancy.

I have to say that there are still a lot of personnel changes this year, and in the final analysis, it is because there is too much turmoil in the empire.

Even in the midst of such turmoil, in the face of foreign places, the imperial soldiers still showed their might.

Be fearless and overcome all difficulties!

"Brigadier General Tang Xin should be back soon. ”

"Almost, send you to Tiantong Mansion, and I'll be ready to go to the West City Gate. ”

Tang didn't regret getting up, and after the three of them finished paying for the tea, he sent the two to Tiantong Mansion.

At this time, at the city gate to the west of Yunjing, a familiar figure followed Tang Xin and the others on horseback.

"Hey!

General Song hasn't been to Yunjing for a long time!

There are two important things to do when I come to Yunjing this time.

One is to meet the queen in person and report the results to the queen in person.

The other is to go and see Xiao Ding's old thing.

When an old comrade-in-arms died, he must also need to come to mourn.

At the city gate, Tang Xin looked at Yunjing with a little stunned, although it was only a short half a month and he had not returned, but he had attacked most of the east in the past half a month.

Every day on the horse, every day on the road.

These days, he has been tense until the moment he returns, he feels that he has arrived home.

"Donald, who are you thinking about?"

Li Yan asked with a smile, and General Song gave Li Yan a slap in the face.

"What are you talking about?"

"What can the brigadier major general think? Naturally, he thinks about his little fiancée!"

General Song quipped, originally he also felt that this Tang Xin and Lin Ruo were not suitable.

After all, Tang Xin's fierce and vicious appearance, what kind of girl he marries, he will feel a little incompatible.

However, after learning about the grievances and hatred between the two of them, General Song actually felt that this was a good match.

There are many kinds of marriages in this world, and marriages like Tang Xin and Lin Ruo, which have some kind of bonds, can better reflect responsibility.

Advertise, [Source Change Artifact] is really good, it's worth installing one, after all, you can cache and read aloud offline!

In this case, Tang Xin will definitely not let down that girl.

"General Song, I'...... I would like to take a leave of absence. ”

After Tang Xin finished speaking, General Song Tianbao waved his hand.

"If you have something, you can do it!"

"Lao Tzu will give you two days of family leave, if you get married, you can invite Russia to drink wedding wine!"

Let the matter here make trouble, Xuanyuan really likes the wine, he didn't drink it, but this Tang Xin's wine, he must drink it well!

"That's for sure!"

Tang Xin said goodbye, the young man was angry, and quickly entered the city.

"It's nice to be young!"

General Song looked at Tang Xin who was going away and couldn't help but sigh.

What Tang Xin was holding in his arms at this time was the sachet that Lin Ruo gave him before he set out on the expedition.

In the days he came back, he didn't eat well and slept well.

All I thought in my head was Lin Ruo.

"Finally, the dust has settled. ”

He longed for this encounter as much as the night watchman longed for the dawn.

That longing, that passion, that throbbing.

It burned into a flame in the young man's heart, warm and surging.

He came directly to Tiantong Mansion and went straight to the Ministry of Rites.

"Hello, who are you looking for?"

The clerk of the Ministry of Rites asked politely, and Tang Xin said with a smile:

"I'm looking for Lin Ruo, Lin Fuchen. ”

"Okay, wait a minute. ”

After the clerk finished speaking, she walked into the office of the Ministry of Rites, and after a while, she walked out.

"Are you Mr. Tang Xin?"

"I am. ”

"Lin Fuchen said that he didn't see you, please go back. ”

Hearing this, Tang Xin was a little strange for a while.

Why, Lin Ruo didn't see him?

"Can I see why?"

Tang Xin frowned and asked, the paperwork seemed to be a little tangled......

Lin Fuchen said......"

She was really a little difficult to speak, but after taking a deep breath, she told Tang Xin what Lin Ruo had asked her to convey just now.

"She said, you two, it's better not to see each other again. ”

After saying this, Tang Xin's heart felt as if something had been stabbed fiercely.

How so......

Tang Xin looked at the document in disbelief and took a deep breath.

"I want to see him!"

"Lin Fuchen said......"

"It's useless what she says, I must see her!"

After speaking, Tang Xin directly broke into the office of the Ministry of Rites, and as soon as he entered, he saw Lin Ruo who was reviewing the documents.

"Ruo'er!"

Tang Xin hurriedly went over, stood in front of Lin Ruo, and asked:

"What did she mean by that?"

Looking at Lin Ruo, who was busy with work and didn't look up at all, Tang Xin had a premonition that was becoming more and more ominous.

Lin Ruo stopped what he was doing, took a deep breath, and said:

"Tang Xin, forget it. ”

"I won't marry you, and ......"

Lin Ruo took out the jade pendant and returned it to Tang Xin.

"From now on, you and I are clear, so don't contact us. ”

Every word she says is so short.

The short one was like a silver needle, pierced in Tang Xin's heart.
