1974 Province of the Mountains

"Order it to close! I can't look at it anymore, if I look at it any longer, I'm afraid I won't be able to give this order again!" "Algernon Julia was dressed in silver-white chain mail, riding on a horse that was also pure white, her eyes were fixed on the gate of the huge pass ahead, as the gate closed, her always cold face finally had a trace of emotion, like a shell to the teeth biting on her ruddy lips, her delicate body trembled slightly, and it seemed that she was strongly enduring something in her heart "Sister, do you think about it?" You must know that once this gate is closed, it will mean that we will never go back!" Algernon Katya bowed his head slightly beside her, as if he raised his hand with infinite regret, seeing his gesture, the gate of the distant pass began to slowly merge in one qiē under the impetus of twenty soldiers on each side, completely separating the two worlds inside and outside "Brother, we can't go back for a long time! At the moment of the fall of Kyoto, the era of Gaul was over, and now the area outside that gate is called the Falcon Empire, and it has nothing to do with us." The corner of Algernon Julia's mouth smiled bitterly, rippling with a pair of beautiful eyes like the most fragrant and mellow wine, staring at the outline of the sky in the distance, Yurong was as quiet as water, she said softly, "This mountain pass is the only road leading from the mountain plain to the direction of Gaul, as long as the gate is completely blocked with boulders, and then stationed heavy troops, unless the falcons tear down the entire city wall, it is impossible to enter"

"According to your estimates, when will the Falcon Empire Army arrive?" Algernonkatya was a little worried

"Not too soon, because they must be busy taking over the previously lost area now, and they won't be looking at this barren mountain region for the time being" Algernon Julia tilted her head, her hand brushed the hair on her forehead, completely ignoring the men, women, and children who had just passed through the gate and rushed to take refuge in the mountain passes, and the carriages loaded with all kinds of things stretched out for miles along the mountain roads, "I'm not worried about the Falcon attack, I'm worried about these people who retreated into the mountain plains, I don't know why you allowed them to come in too." It's all the nobles of Kyoto, as well as their vassals!" Algernon Katya was a little hesitant, he looked at the towing convoy on the mountain road, and said with anger on his face, "These people can't do construction at all, but they are very good at infighting, some of the families in front have just arrived, and they are already thinking about their own areas of influence, I'm afraid that the situation in Gallic Kyoto will be staged again!" "Since they have to come with them, we can't refuse, and their appeal still has an effect on us!" Algernon Julia raised her whip in her hand. The corners of his mouth smiled slightly, "Actually, you are a little too worried, I never think that these Kyoto nobles are extremely loyal and willing to follow us, so you don't need to consider their feelings," They were just afraid that the Falcon Empire would confiscate their belongings so they had to follow us, but since they came in, it was up to them, this is the mountain plain, not Gallic Kyoto, the reason why I agreed to take them into the mountain plain. In addition to their appeal, they also need their financial support, although the Falcon Empire will not look at us for the time being" "But the necessary armaments and the pacification of 200,000 people are a lot of money. We don't have that much money, so these people are our money bags, and you should know how to do it if necessary!" Algernon Julia's voice was as crisp and melodious as a yellow warbler. But Algernon Katya shuddered when he heard it, "Sister, you mean these people ......"

"Not necessarily, if they can see clearly!" said Algernon Julia, with a noncommittal look on her face, "and in fact we don't have a lot of time. In fact, we may need to face a life-or-death test before winter arrives!"

Algernonkatya's face was stunned for a moment, and he didn't know what his secretive sister was referring to.

Algernon Julia looked at the depressed expression, took a deep breath, and said slowly, "You may also be aware of it, everyone has been able to survive until now the limit of their ability, if it wasn't for seizing the opportunity this time, taking advantage of the opportunity for the four consuls to leave the mountains and plains, we have seized this area in one fell swoop that can temporarily resist the expansion of the Falcon Empire as long as we hold the pass, everyone would have dispersed a long time ago,

Although the situation seems to be turning a little bit now, we are not blindly arrogant and arrogant of the four consuls, Algernon Giulia's pretty face is stern,

We have fought with the Falcon Empire many times, you should also be familiar with the terrible enemy, that man like a huge beast, is not the kind that will stop when he encounters a trap, he will inevitably show his hideous claws to tear a qiē to pieces, this time we used the hands of the four major consuls in the east, hit him by surprise, and severely damaged the imperial general Salon, who advanced eastward under his command, and temporarily bought time for the migration of the fiefdoms, but according to the style that that person has always adhered to to in blood for blood, the next time he appeared in front of him。 It is the main army of the Falcon Empire led by him personally"

"You said that person would come in person......" Algernonkatya's body trembled slightly, his face turned a little pale, and the memory of several defeats made him feel fear in his heart,

"Definitely!" Algernon Giulia nodded affirmatively, and her voice paused, "Unless we can come up with something enough to make the other party jealous, let's wait for the Falcon Empire's army to flood the entire mountain plain!" "What makes the Falcon Empire jealous?" Do we have it?" Algernon Katya's face flashed a trace of confusion, although he had fought with that person many times, Algernon Katya thought that he didn't know that the imperial military god had something to be afraid of, "If you are human, you have weaknesses, not to mention an emperor who takes the overall situation into account!" Algernon Julia's chilling and determined demeanor looked coldly at the mountains in the distance, and said coldly: "The Falcon Empire has occupied Gaul, and it will take some time to consolidate its rule, so what they are most afraid of should be to break out a large-scale war on the Gaul side again! It can be seen from the disastrous defeat of the Falcon Empire army in the east that their control over the eastern occupation zone is almost blank, otherwise they will not be pushed to the Kyoto line because of a defeat."

Algernon Julia's voice paused, and continued: "The 200,000 people who have withdrawn into the mountain plain this time are the fiefdom of our Algernon family, which is enough in terms of population base, and I have already sent someone to negotiate with the Central Biya side, and we will be nominally incorporated into the Central Bia Empire, and from now on, the mountain plain will be the autonomous province of the Central Bia Empire, Yamanaka Province." Don't underestimate this pseudonym. It is indeed enough for Zhongbiya to have a reason to come forward to deal with the pressure of the Falcon Empire's army, although the Zhongbia Empire has declined, but it still has the general Long Yang in charge of the border, and the hundreds of thousands of border guards under the command of Long Yang! This force, the Falcon Empire will also take into consideration!"

"You're crazy, you're going to find the Central Bibians!" Algernon Katya looked stunned, "They are now too busy to take care of themselves, how can they turn against the Falcon Empire for us?"

"It's a meeting in China, because this is a mountain plain."

The corners of Algernon's Julia mouth suddenly opened, and she smiled slightly, her eyes swept over the mountains in front of her. With a confident condensation on his face, he said, "Now that the war between the Central Beians and the Dongting people has reached the final stage, what they need most is precisely in the Mountain Plain, and you are also an Imperial soldier, so you should not forget that the Mountain Plain is where the largest iron mine in the eastern part of the empire is located!

"Smack"

Throwing the negotiation document in his hand on the table, the fat man glanced at the foreign affairs official standing not far away, who was covered in chaff, this imperial foreign affairs official was a middle-aged man of thirty years old, and under the fat man's knife-like gaze, his forehead was covered with large beads of sweat rolling down. Damn, why did I send this negotiation document! I knew that I would not accept private bribes from the Sino-Biyan diplomat, and the middle-aged foreign minister's intestines were about to turn blue. Even if it is a tenfold bribe, he will never dare to send it, "Forget it, go down! What the hell is this!"

With a wave of his hand, the frightened and paralyzed Foreign Ministry official was sent away, and the fat man stood up from his table and spread his arms. Stretching a lazy waist, a good way, I didn't even expect that as a woman in such a troubled world, it is not easy to get to this point, deceive the four great consuls of eastern Gaul out of the mountain plains, and after occupying the mountain plains, they decisively leaned on the Central Bia Empire, and they already have a bit of the charm of a genius, I don't know why, the fat man has a trace of appreciation for Algernon Julia in his heart, and the heroes of the troubled times are nothing more than that! It's a pity that this woman's approach always makes people feel a little self-righteous

The situation in the Central Biya Empire has reached the moment of life and death, the Eastern Court cavalry gathered in the Central Biya Kyoto Baili Changting line, the strength of as many as 200,000, and the Central Biya side is even more exaggerated to put forward a million army, for the Central Biya people in order to satisfy their vanity, expect to use the number to deter the opponent's approach, the fat man, the self-proclaimed top commander, also felt a little funny, according to the current situation in the Central Bia Kyoto side, the four giants have their own thoughts, the royal family is full of desire to move south to avoid disaster, and it is already the top to be able to pull out 400,000 people to fill the battlefield, and Kyoto is about to be lost, the Central Berean Empire is still pretending to be a strong empire in front of itself, claiming that the Mountain Plain has belonged to the Central Bebian Empire and renamed the Mountain Province, and I don't know whether to think it stupid or slap the swollen face and become fat

The situation in eastern Gaul became clear, and the remnants of Gaul immediately retreated to the mountain plains with more than 200,000 Gauls in the area under their control, and then completely closed the mountain passes leading to the mountain plains with 30,000 heavy troops, obviously posing a posture of wanting to continue to survive according to the mountain situation, which was actually equivalent to a disguised recognition of the Falcon Empire's complete control over the areas occupied by the eastern Gaul,

Time unconsciously in July, the sun is shining, the wheat waves are shining, the Falcon Empire fully entered the eastern part of Gaul, after integration, the original six eastern provinces were merged into three, the fat man personally met with the surrendered eastern four consuls in the southwest region, the four consuls wept bitterly and asked the empire to send troops to help retake the mountain plains, the fat man promised to send troops to the mountain plains after the completion of the harvest in July, the southwest governor Salon was transferred back to the southwest because of the unfavorable front-line operations, and the eastern Gaul region was temporarily under the full responsibility of the southern governor Stutunko. A new page was turned in the war on the Gallic side

In July, it was already autumn, with all sorts of weeds and shrubs, swaying in the cool wind, like a pair of gentle hands, gently brushing off the coat of the earth, the silver-gray tree poles beside the road also turned dark green with autumn landscapes, and schools of fish appeared on the sparkling river, located in the Alisander region on the border between Central Belgium and Gaul. The grass floats up and down in the wind like waves, and on the staggered ridges, the golden wheat waves float with the wind, like the violets flowing like beds on the flowery lawn in the city, and the vines are wrapped around the umbrella-shaped pine and cypress trees, bringing the fragrance of roses in the ancient garden outside the city.

Da Da Da ......

A black carriage sped down the street, whip of the coachman smashing the blades. The broken leaves are blown away by the breeze. The coachman kept waving his whip, urging the carriage to run over the desolate and calm streets. It was only in front of a gorgeous-looking three-story house that it slowly stopped, and on either side of the door stood two lightly armored Central Beyasan soldiers, "Please show your identity!"

The guards at the gate stopped the carriage. A sign was handed out in the carriage, and the guard's eyes fell on the lines of the golden sign, his face changed, and he hurriedly straightened up and shouted to his companions behind him, "Quick, open the gate!"

The carriage drove into the courtyard, and at the entrance of the courtyard inside, there was already a respectful-looking military officer of the young empire of Central Belgium waiting, and he saw the carriage stop. Immediately he walked over, dressed in a long and wide robe, his hair was coiled into a high crested bun, and his face was of typical Obaro and Central Biyan descent. Black hair, but blue eyes,

This is the sign of the border people, in the Central Beanian Empire. This kind of mixed blood is not uncommon, and the Central Berean Empire has hundreds of distinct ethnic groups and hundreds of years of expansion policies. It also leads to the mixing of various ethnic groups. A thin old man got out of the carriage, looked up at the mansion in front of him, and looked up at the iron fence in front of him, as well as the rockery and waterhole behind the fence, his eyes couldn't help but light up slightly, and asked the young man, "Is the general Longyang inside?" "The general is waiting for the assistant lord inside! Please follow me!"

The young man gestured respectfully, leading the way in front, and the old man followed, and the two quietly walked into the courtyard of the house, very quiet. Everywhere there are autumn leaves thick on top of each other, some golden and some brown-red leaves, and the trees in the garden are of these two types, and I don't know how long it has been since they have been cleaned. Hearing someone coming in, he looked out at the flower site that was being repaired. Seeing the old man's appearance, the florist's eyes lit up, and his face quietly shrank back calmly.

General Longyang, is one of the three major generals in Central Belgium, commanding more than 100,000 imperial border guards to guard the border with the direction of Gaul, although the Long family is not one of the four giants, but the Long family is one of the vassal families of the royal family, there is absolutely no problem in loyalty, this is also the purpose of the old man's coming, the four major families are ready to move, most of the empire's troops are forced to the Kyoto line, in order to deter the four giants, the royal family is considering whether to transfer the Longyang general into Beijing to sit in the town, although Longyang is the three major generals of the empire's martial arts, but its life is very simple, when the old man walked into the Longyang study, Longyang was reading alone, a very thick bookThe text on the cover is not in the Central Biya style, but in the Obaro style, Longyang guards the border of the two continents all the year round, proficient in the Obaro language, the carpet in the study is white after washing many times, there is no peculiar smell, but it is not gorgeous, just an ordinary carpet,

"The general is so interested! The hundred-mile court is already thundering with war drums and rivers of blood, and the general can still be so stable as usual, which is really admirable!" With the voice, the old man walked into the room,

"Lord Mo Li, I am just a general on the border, my duty is to block the enemy's attack, the affairs of the imperial capital are too far away from me! I can't manage it, and I can't manage it!" Long Yang looked up at the old man indifferently, closed the book with a faint expression, and said slowly, "The soldiers on the border have not received the autumn salary this year, since you Lord Mo Li is here, just right, just give us the money" "Long Yang, you have changed, if it was before, you wouldn't have met and asked for money!"

The old man coughed with embarrassment, shook his empty sleeves, and was slightly stunned, "And I don't have any money, the empire has deployed 500,000 troops on the front line of the Hundred Miles Long Court, in order to boost morale, even His Majesty has taken out his own private treasury as a reward, not to mention me, the treasurer who has long been emptied!" "So there is no money?" Long Yang simply rolled his eyes, and whispered to himself, "No money, what are you doing here?" I can starve to death here, and I can't afford to support a big financier like you." “。 "I came here specifically for the affairs of the province in the mountains!" Mo Li smiled disapprovingly, "That's the report submitted by your Long Yang personally, since you Long Yang patted his chest and said that there is enough iron ore there, then it happens to be shipped back this time, the war is tight, Kyoto's inventory has bottomed out, and now even the smith shop for forging arrows has stopped! Everyone is waiting for the iron ore, you won't let me down!" "Give money?" Long Yang raised his eyes, looked the old man up and down, and asked, "Give money?" What do you mean, isn't that the province of the Empire?" Mo Li said with a displeased face, "I don't believe in the Imperial Auxiliary Command, and they dare not give it!" (To be continued......)
