"Last night, Xia Guan played, the Youxian Wang Court of the Northern Wilderness took advantage of the chaos in the Western Regions and led the elite iron cavalry to invade the north of Liangzhou, and it is estimated that the Northern Wilderness and the rebels in the Western Regions had already premeditated."

Xiao Qianqin saw Tang Yun and leaned over to him and whispered.

A few Ruoshui looked at Xiao Qianqin in surprise, perhaps her posture was too ambiguous for a foreign minister. A few Ruoshui glanced at it a few times and then stopped looking at it again. As for Lu Pengyuan, he was already in turmoil at the moment.

The Right Virtuous Court?

It can be regarded as an old opponent, and most of the people who confronted the Mobei army in the north were also fighting with this Youxian Royal Court.

The Emperor of the Northern Wilderness is a khan, and there are two virtuous kings on the left and right under him. Unlike the vassal kings of the Great Zhou, in addition to having their own territory, the king of Zuoxian could also recruit his own army, appoint officials in his territory, and collect taxes in his territory. The Emperor of the Left and Right was nominally loyal to the Emperor of the Northern Wilderness, and when the war was waged, he would lead an army to assist.

In the eyes of the people of the Central Plains, with such power, he can be called the emperor of the soil, which is unimaginable in the eyes of the people of the Great Zhou.

The Northern Wilderness is vast and has many tribes. It is difficult for him to achieve the great unification of the Central Plains. The Right Virtuous King controls a tribe in the western part of the Northern Wilderness, most of whom are herdsmen, and the tribes often migrate, although the environment is harsh, but they have cultivated the fierce customs of the people here, and everyone is good at riding horses.

The Northern Wilderness Iron Cavalry is famous all over the world, and even the strongest military formation of the Great Zhou Army can easily be dispersed. The scattered foot soldiers, without cover, are almost a bunch of live targets. In many cases, the elimination of an elite Northern Wilderness Iron Cavalry often required the cost of twice or more the lives of the Great Zhou soldiers.

Tang Yun's mood sank to the bottom, he knew the horror of the Youxian Royal Court.

Tang Yun and Lu Pengyuan entered the Qianqiu Hall at the same time, and an official in a round-necked robe walked out of the door, saw Tang Yun and Lu Pengyuan, and left with his fists clenched.

The man had a thumb-sized wound on his head, and he was bleeding profusely, so he had to use his sleeve to block his face and hurried away.

"Xia Guan's squire left to find the wind? Yang Yi Bacheng also knew His Majesty's anger, so he sent his subordinates over. Lu Pengyuan subconsciously straightened the head on his head, and he had already cursed in his heart, he knew that he would come out in armor today, and if the empress was angry, she would be able to bear it if she threw something.

In the Qianqiu Palace, the green smoke of the purple furnace slowly rose, and the entire Qianqiu Hall looked calm and elegant, but the sound of pacing back and forth in the room showed the owner's upset.

The empress's hair was coiled high, a gilded dragon hairpin was inserted in her temples, and the golden dragon with teeth and claws was entrenched on a dazzling gem, which was luxurious and compelling. Although it is not heavy makeup, it is domineering. The empress wore a light plain veil, outlining a delicate figure.

It's just that such a scene is destined not to be seen by the minister. Tang Yun and Lu Pengyuan lowered their heads very knowingly.

The empress has been in a rage for the past few days, Tang Yun noticed that there was also a blood-stained inkstone scattered on the side of the pillar, and the edge of the inkstone was broken, it seemed that the unlucky Xia official squire was smashed in the head by this thing.

"In the past few years since the establishment of the Great Zhou, there have been thousands of battlefields. A big victory will make you get carried away, forget how the invincible Qin was destroyed, and forget how Emperor Yang died in the first place. At the beginning, the Northern Wilderness Iron went south to the Central Plains, and the Qin army still blocked them outside the pass for a month. You can't go out without money, huh! I really thought they would become the emperor of the soil! ”

The empress's voice was like a thunderbolt, constantly echoing throughout the Thousand Autumn Palace. After this battle, the empress was already extremely disappointed in the Great Zhou army. The Niu family was originally the winning family among the nobles, but they were exterminated just because of a word. The envoys and assassins of various places each gathered soldiers and horses, forming a division of feudal towns one by one, and the generals supported the troops and respected themselves, and did not pay attention to the orders of the imperial court at all.

Lu Pengyuan stubbornly clenched his fists and said: "Your Majesty, give the ministers 200,000 soldiers and horses, and you will definitely be able to sweep away the thieves in the Western Regions." ”

"Two hundred thousand?" The empress sneered and glanced at Lu Pengyuan contemptuously, "I don't know what kind of you are?" The people of the Northern Wilderness have experienced a hundred battles, and there are two king flags, and if a king flag comes out, you can fight and you can't find the north. You haven't even experienced the battlefield, be honestly an idle general in the capital, don't go out and embarrass me! ”

Lu Pengyuan's father was the former king of Xin, and he was the empress's own nephew. The empress spoke very seriously, but it was different from the other courtiers, so these words were just a reprimand from the elders to the juniors.

Lu Pengyuan's face completely turned into a bitter melon, although he had practiced martial arts since he was a child and had also been in the martial arts academy of Cangyun Academy, he had no experience of really fighting on the battlefield. The title of general is only nominal, if he goes on an expedition, Da Zhou has a veteran with deep qualifications and experience, and it is not his turn.

Tang Yun stepped forward to report: "Your Majesty, the Northern Wilderness Rebellion is imminent, and it is not a good way to conflict with the feudal town at this time. They must not be allowed to break through the Qinfu Pass, otherwise there will be a plain next, and the Northern Wilderness Iron Horse will go straight into the plain, as if entering a no-man's land. ”

The empress breathed a deep sigh of relief, and glanced at Tang Yun with a gloomy face: "So, do you also think that you should give money to those feudal towns?" ”

From the root, Tang Yun was also born from the feudal town.

The Mobei Metropolitan Protector Dadu protects Luo Jingyao, which is also one of the feudal towns, and the Mobei Army is nominally the Great Zhou Army, but in fact, most of them obey Luo Jingyao alone.

The meaning of the empress's glance was obvious, but Tang Yun was also unyielding.

He knew very well what the Northern Wilderness King Banner meant.

Among the countless military flags of the Northern Wilderness Army, only three flags are very valuable, one is the Khan flag, the other is the wolf god flag, and the third is the king flag. If it appears in the military formation, it is definitely the core of the army.

The royal flag is not so easy to obtain, and if you want to get it, the first thing is that you must be the king of the Northern Wilderness. The Northern Wilderness is different from the Great Zhou, he can have a king with a different surname. However, whether it is a national surname or a meritorious king, not everyone can get the royal flag. Every royal flag comes out of the sea of blood. A lot of military feats can be piled up into a royal flag.

Like the Shangzhu Kingdom of the Great Zhou, Wang Qi was equivalent to the highest goal of the warriors.

The two kings of the Northern Wilderness led their armies to commit ......

The empress suddenly sighed faintly, she found a random book of recitals from the table and threw it down, Lu Pengyuan quickly picked it up, and saw that the empress meant that she wanted them to see the content of the recital.

Lu Pengyuan unfolded the recital, and was suddenly stunned, he said in a trembling voice: "Jiangnan Province is affected? Is the treasury now struggling to make ends meet? ”
