Chapter 752: The Outside World
"That is the power of the spell?" After the fire instantly became smaller, Lin Xuanzhong's originally leaning back body gradually straightened. Glancing at the brazier, which was no different from before, Lin Xuanzhong's eyes were only filled with endless surprise.
"Yes," Xue Yin nodded, and Xue Yin made some more gestures, and the flames in the brazier grew larger again, and then quickly returned to normal. In addition to the change in the fire during the whole process, Lin Xuanzhong also felt that there had always been a strange power between Xue Yin's slender fingers, which might be a spiritual power that was difficult for ordinary people to touch.
"It's not early, let's go back to the city overnight," the things I wanted to know now have been roughly understood, and it is not too early to calculate the time, it is a little inconvenient for the two of them to rest here, Lin Xuanzhong plans to go back overnight.
"Okay," Xue Yin agreed, and then followed Lin Xuanzhong to get up.
Not long after, Lin Xuanzhong led a team to escort Xue Yin who was sitting in the carriage, and rode all the way back to Fancheng on a moonlit night.
After informing Zhao Xu, the two went back to rest separately. There was nothing to do overnight, and early the next morning, Zhao Xu summoned the generals to discuss the matter of sending troops to Yidu. How many people to send, what their next move will be when they arrive in the wing, and how to deal with unexpected situations are all things they need to discuss.
Counting the time, Lan Ze's holy decree should be on the way. After knowing how to deal with the royal personnel of the Wing Kingdom, Zhao Xu will personally lead the army to set off immediately. A meeting didn't last long, and when he left the meeting place, Lin Xuanzhong took a group of people to visit Fang Qing, Ni Youbin and Ling Zimo.
When they saw Lin Xuanzhong, Fang Qing and Ni Youbin were very happy, and a group of people chatted directly. At the same time, the Qingyuan big country there. Earlier, the Qingyuan powers accepted the requirements of the Yang and Fei countries and gave them time to mobilize reinforcements, but the results were unsatisfactory, just like the original alliance between Mongolia and Lai, not only failed in the battle, but also disgraced the Qingyuan powers behind them.
The defeat of Fei and Yang is also the negative impact of the Qingyuan power's arbitrary manipulation of small countries, and this negative impact can be large or small. At the most large level, the success of the Night Nation has taught many undecided countries that serving those great powers is not the only way to survive, and they do not have to grovel to those great powers in exchange for survival. If we can unite with other like-minded countries and rally to resist to the end, perhaps those great powers will lose in the end.
To put it mildly, the deeds of the Night Army's victory over the coalition forces have also made many countries understand that even if they submit to the big powers, their country still no longer exists, but it can be regarded as a country when it still has use value, and if it falls into the current situation of the Wing Country, it is no different from the death of the country. Therefore, submission and rebellion are both choices, and they may not have to choose one or the other.
Since the Night Army annexed the Snow Country, to the capture of the Wing Country, and then to the defeat of Fei and Yang, it can be said that it has disgraced the Qingyuan Great Power repeatedly. If the performance of the Night Kingdom is not yet taken seriously by the Qingyuan Powers, the negative impact of the war will continue to expand, and sooner or later it will affect the prestige of the Qingyuan Powers.
Once the Qingyuan people pay attention to it, it means that the Qingyuan Great Power has regarded the Night Country as an opponent, and the next actions of the Qingyuan Great Power will definitely boost the prestige of the Night Country, and eventually lead to the negative impact of manipulating the small country to fight. Now that it is actually the time for the Qingyuan Great Power to make a decision, whether to let the Night Country continue to grow until it can compete with them head-on, or whether to put down his face and personally send troops to recruit the Night Army is a matter that the high-level leaders of the Qingyuan Great Power are considering.
As a ceremonial state, the issue of face is naturally particularly important, perhaps after Fei and Yang, there are still many small countries whose armies can be used as weapons for the Qingyuan great country to crusade against the night army, but whether to use those weapons now is exactly the problem they need to consider.
After several wars, for the Qingyuan power, the current night army can be regarded as a strong general. If some smaller countries are sent to the expedition, it may be more likely that the Night Kingdom will continue to grow itself. If you don't send those small countries to go, with the distance between the big countries of Qingyuan and the wing countries, the two sides will want to go to war at least a few months later.
Maybe in a few months, the strength of the Night Kingdom will grow again, and the people of the Qingyuan Great Power don't want to give the Night Kingdom a chance to recuperate. A month ago, with a powerful information network, the Qingyuan Great Power had received the news that Zhao Wu had defeated the Luo Tian Great Power. Qiu Sanjie's defeat can be said to have really disgraced Luo Tianguo, who has never been defeated, and it can be seen from Luo Tianguo's severe punishment of the enemy's behavior that the Luo Tian Imperial Family is angry.
Qiu Sanjie's defeat not only disgraced Luo Tianguo, but also caused many countries in the west that had not completely submitted to Luo Tianda to fall into contradictions. According to the Qingyuan Nation's understanding of the western countries, there may have been many small and medium-sized countries considering whether to unite with the Night Country, although there is no specific news yet, but the situation in the western part of the Night Country is also a matter that the Qingyuan Powers need to pay attention to.
It was also after the defeat of the Night Army and the allied forces of the two countries that the high-level leaders of the Qingyuan Great Power realized what kind of situation the Night Country's stubborn resistance had put them in, and it seemed that they also had to make a key plan for the future direction like the current Night Country.
This kind of plan will lead their country to become strong or decay is exactly the problem they need to consider, recently in the imperial capital of the Qingyuan big country, the entire imperial court has been discussing political affairs, and the night country has become a negative example of their annexation of a number of small countries, not to be unhappy. How to get rid of such a small night kingdom is exactly what they are trying to do with political affairs. In any case, the Qingyuan Great Power did not want to make the mistake that Luo Tianguo had made, and let its own personnel lead troops to recruit the Night Army.
In addition, once the Qingyuan Great Power decides to crusade against the Night Army, they will definitely be disgraced once and for all, and they will not give the Night Kingdom any more chances.
While the Great Powers of Qingyuan were discussing how to solve the problem of the Night Country, the people in Kyoto of the two countries of Fei and Yang were panicked for several days, and since receiving the news of the defeat of the coalition forces, the people of the two countries were in danger. Due to the accountability of the Qingyuan powers, the courts of the two countries are even more uproarious.
In order to alleviate the punishment from their own country, the Qingyuan envoy who served as Fei and Yang strongly demanded that the monarchs of the two countries give a reasonable explanation to the Qingyuan power as soon as possible for the result of the defeat, otherwise as soon as Tianwei arrives, the two countries will only wait for destruction.
Even if it is only the envoys sent by the Qingyuan Great Power to the two countries, the status of the two people can still be on par with the monarchs of the two countries, so in the face of the accusations and demands of the envoys of the two countries, the two monarchs have to promise to give a satisfactory explanation to the Qingyuan Great Power as soon as possible.
An explanation to the Qingyuan power is only one of the problems that the two monarchs have to face at present, in order to follow the instructions of the Qingyuan power to exterminate the night army, the two countries have exhausted most of their military strength but have not succeeded, and now there is not much military strength in both countries. Even if they are urgently recruited now, they do not have time to train.
Although they have surrendered to the Qingyuan Great Power, the monarchs of the two countries are not stupid people, and after the Night Kingdom captures the Wing Kingdom, the next target will naturally be them. The current situation of the two countries is the same as that of the original Wing Kingdom, and there is no room for bargaining with either side of the Qingyuan Great Power and the Night Country, so when dealing with the envoys of the Qingyuan Great Power, the monarchs of the two countries are even more considering what their respective fates will be in the future.
Not long ago, the two lords of the country had planned to share the food of the Wing Country, but now they naturally had to worry about being eaten by the country behind them. Perhaps the lords of the two countries did not expect that in just over a month, their situation was no different from that of the Wing Emperor a month ago.
Judging from the various circumstances experienced by the Wing Country, it is clear that the luck that belongs to the two countries has come to the end of the season with a big war, and what awaits them is the judgment of survival.
It is worth mentioning that after receiving the letter from Zhao Xu to them, the two lords have also considered the issue of whether to change their marshal back many times recently. Although Tiexin and Shi Jiangchuan are both generals of the defeated army, they are always the subjects of the two countries, and there are so many soldiers who do not know whether they are alive or dead, speaking of which, the two lords still have hope for Shi Jiangchuan and Tiexin and others, but now whether the lives of Tiexin and Shi Jiangchuan and others are worth the conditions offered by Zhao Xu is a question they need to consider.
In terms of transactions, the two monarchs have some different ideas, and progress is slow, because for them, the lives of Tie Xin and Shi Jiangchuan and others are not a top priority, they have more important matters to deal with, and only time can verify the final fate of Tie Xin and Shi Jiangchuan and others.
Five days passed, and the bitter cold of winter finally quietly left with the snow, and after half a month of continuous rest, the night army officially embarked on a new journey. After discussion, Zhao Xu was ready to lead an army of 100,000 to Yidu, and half of the remaining 100,000 troops stayed in Fancheng and half arranged to go home.
Among the 100,000 people who did not go to the expedition, there were many snow country recruits, and the length of time they joined the army varied, but now the situation is very good, after deciding to send troops to only one of the two countries of Fei and Yang, Zhao Xu decided to give some people the opportunity to go home to visit their relatives.
For many soldiers, going home to visit their relatives was great news, and after being grateful to Zhao Xu for his compassion for the soldiers, they all thought about being more loyal to the Night Country.
In the past few days, some of Zhao Xu's arrangements have made the entire barracks full of life.
Ten days ago, the Right Prime Minister issued a conscription notice in the northern region of the Wing Country, saying that anyone who is an adult can join the army, and there are no other conditions. Now, in less than half a month, the right minister has recruited a total of 50,000 new troops in the northern cities. In that conscription notice, the content written by the right minister is very simple, joining the army can not only solve the problem of personal food and clothing, but also have the opportunity to protect the homeland, the current night country still has a long way to go, but those people in the wing country can't all count on the night army to protect.
