CHAPTER XV

In March 1215, the clouds of war grew thicker. The Chengtian Empire deployed tens of millions of troops along the nearly 4,000-mile border with the Beihai Kingdom. On the other hand, the Beihai Kingdom is not weak, and the three major armies of Mulan, Beihai, and Menglan are also in full position in the major military towns on the border line to guard against the sudden attack of the Chengtian army.

At this juncture, the Great Song Dynasty officially made peace with the Chengtian Empire, and Princess Yuna of the Chengtian Empire married the Great Song Dynasty. In order to welcome this beautiful princess, Emperor Tianbao ordered that an eight-hundred-mile-long Qiluo red carpet be laid out on the official road from Luohua City on the south bank of the Yunhe River to the national capital Diqiu, so that Princess Yuna's jade feet would not get a trace of dust before entering Diqiu City. In the eyes of Emperor Tianbao, this move was to show the wealth of the Great Song Dynasty and show the great strength of the Great Song Dynasty to the Chengtian Empire. As everyone knows, such a spectacular scene certainly shocked the Saharako who escorted Princess Yuna to make peace, but it also strengthened the Chengtian Empire's intention to invade the Song.

Five days later, on an auspicious day chosen by the Ministry of Rites, Emperor Tianbao officially married Princess Yuna. Since the original queen has long been abolished, Princess Yuna was naturally named the queen of the Great Song Dynasty by Emperor Tianbao. On the day of the wedding, the whole city of Diqiu fell into a sea of jubilation, the people sang and danced, rejoiced, gongs and drums were noisy, and countless beautiful fireworks bloomed in the starry sky. The moment Emperor Tianbao saw Princess Yuna, his heart was firmly captured by this stunning beauty who was all over the world. The flaming red hair, the sexy and charming red lips, the delicate smooth face, and the devil's moving body are all masterpieces of God. And to match it is Princess Yuna's extremely wild personality. After setting foot on the Song Soil, Princess Yuna's first request was to ask Emperor Tianbao to carry her back to Diqiu City to show her strong love. In the face of such an unbelievable request, the ministers of the Great Song Dynasty all looked at each other, and only Saharako was secretly happy on the side. Just when the courtiers of the Great Song Dynasty thought that Emperor Tianbao was about to be furious, they didn't expect that His Majesty, the emperor who had always regarded himself very highly, would gracefully pick up Princess Yuna and march majestically on the Qiluo red carpet for eight hundred miles.

For this reason, the poets of the Great Song Dynasty of later generations once wrote a poem: "Who knows the heart of the emperor, Qiluo is eight hundred miles." The beauty returns, and the prosperity will be difficult to continue. ”

After staying in the Great Song Dynasty for ten days, Saharako asked Emperor Tianbao to resign, crossed the Yunhe River north overnight, and returned to Chengtian. Because at this time, the military operation against the North Sea Kingdom was about to begin. As the Emperor's Division, Saharako will participate in the Imperial Council of the Battle of the North Sea.

On March 27, 1215, King Hailing secretly ordered the commanders and deputy commanders of all the legions in the army, and the generals with the titles of Da Luo General and Marshal to gather in Tianyun City, the capital of the Chengtian Empire, and held a military meeting in Chengtian Palace for the Battle of Beihai. In addition to the generals in the army, Emperor Chengtian's ** division Saharako also rushed back from the Great Song Dynasty.

The spring night looks a little lingering, with the stars looking at the moon and the moon looking at the stars. It's supposed to be a romantic season, but in the Chengtian Palace, a group of people are discussing something that will never make people feel romantic.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the Beihai Kingdom colluded with the traitor Mu Ershan to poison the first emperor. As a younger brother, if he can't avenge his brother, what face does the widow have to live in the world? Now, the widow wants to personally lead the Chengtian warriors to set foot on the Beihai Sea and wash away this shame with the blood of the Beihai people!" Facing these generals under his command, King Hailing said impassionedly

"Yes, Your Majesty is right. Our Chengtian Empire has always had to bully others, who dares to ride on our heads? As soon as King Hailing's words fell, a great Luo general of the Chengtian Empire shouted loudly.

"Yes, we must bloody Beihai to avenge the first emperor. Another Da Luo general who attended the meeting was not to be outdone.

Since the signing of the Tianyun Peace Treaty, it has been a thousand years. Although the entire Tianyun Continent basically remained peaceful, small-scale friction was still endless. Unlike the more peace-loving Beihai and the Great Song Dynasty, the Chengtian Empire has always adhered to the grassland style left by its ancestors. The Chengtian Empire, which rises in the northernmost steppe of the Tianyun Continent, is good at riding and shooting, regardless of men, women, young and old. Therefore, the number of cavalry of the Chengtian Empire, as well as the combat effectiveness is the strongest in the world, especially the Holy Cavalry Regiment of the Chengtian Empire, which has the most powerful cavalry units in the Tianyun Continent, Shurachou and Futu, except for the snow wolf cavalry of the Beihai Kingdom, which can resist it, it is almost invincible. These two cavalry units have a long history, and in the war that destroyed the Longshan Empire, they relied on countless bloody killings to make a name for themselves, and although they have gone through thousands of years, this holy cavalry regiment is still invincible. In order to maintain the combat effectiveness of the army, the Chengtian Empire waged wars against the barbarian tribes in the frontier areas of the empire every year, but did not completely eliminate them, and even refused to accept their surrender. In this regard, the Chengtian Empire called it a "sheep", and said that only the smell of blood would make their soldiers never forget the scimitar in their hands.

It is precisely because of the Chengtian Empire's extermination of the barbarian tribes in the frontier that the Great Song Dynasty and Beihai have called the people of Chengtian barbarians for many years, but they are deeply afraid of the "barbarians" in their mouths. Otherwise, the Great Song Dynasty would not have deployed heavy troops on the south bank of the Yunhe River all year round, and the sailors would have patrolled the Yunhe River all the time. Because for the Great Song Dynasty, the Yunhe River was thousands of miles long, and in peacetime, it would take about five days for even the fastest warships to pass. In fact, the entire Tianyun Continent has never been truly unified, except for the Longshan Emperor Murong Tianxiang three thousand years ago. The world once said that without Yunhe, there would be no "Tianyun Peace Treaty" of that year.

In the Chengtian Palace, the atmosphere gradually began to warm up. Many Chengtian generals have asked for battle, hoping to serve the battlefield. For military personnel, there is no place where they are worth more than war. Those "barbarians" who are always hunting on the frontier are, to be honest, quite boring for these warlike generals.

King Hailing looked at the generals below with great satisfaction, as far as the current point of view, the fighting spirit and morale of the army are the best. As a result, King Hailing began to calculate the specific combat route for attacking Beihai. But at this moment, the marshal of the Chengtian Empire, the veteran Dadali, known as the "Pulsatilla", made an inopportune voice of opposition.

"Your Majesty, the old man thinks that the battle of Beihai still needs to be considered in the long run. The Tianyun Continent has been peaceful for a long time, although our emperor's ** team hunts barbarians all year round, and its combat effectiveness is maintained quite well. But after all, our army has never experienced a real war, and the junior soldiers are not familiar with military affairs. On the contrary, the North Sea Kingdom had been very well prepared for defense half a year ago. Even though my army is strong and strong, the time and place are favorable, and there are still people and our army do not occupy any of them. If he attacked hastily, the old man was worried that he would lose his troops and return in vain. Besides, His Majesty did not ignore the world's largest wooden door. The Beihai Kingdom is backed by wooden gates, and with its unpredictable skills, it will pose a great threat to our soldiers. More importantly, Mu Yi, the head of today's wooden gate, is like the first stargazer in the Cloud Continent today, and the power of the sages has reached the realm of the starry sky. Whether it is Qimen Dunjia or the lost ancient formation, they are all omniscient. Therefore, the old man had the courage to speak up, postponed the dispatch of troops, and waited for the time to be ripe. ”

As soon as Dadali said this, the Chengtian Palace was suddenly silent. Countless eyes were on Dadali. King Hailing also frowned slightly when he heard this, he naturally knew that the veteran in front of him was not cowardly. In the army, in terms of status, Dadali is second only to himself. Although all the ministers were afraid of the Hailing King, only Dadari was an exception. However, after all, Dadali is a veteran of the Four Dynasties, and his seniority in the army is at the level of his grandfather, although he is over seventy years old, he is still immortal. Therefore, his words, even if he is an arbitrary King Hailing, have to be considered.

But just as King Hailing was pondering Dadali's words, there was a commotion in the Chengtian Palace. Regarding Dadali's opinion just now, many young generals who had just been promoted by King Hailing did not want to see him. As a result, the young generals began to accuse him of being afraid of the enemy like a mouse, being old and timid, and so on, and looked at him with mockery and contempt. After King Hailing ascended the throne, he continuously promoted many outstanding young generals in the army. This move is to strengthen the influence of King Hailing in the army, and secondly, to restore the army to the tiger and wolf spirit that crisscrossed the grassland. A few years ago, King Hailing had already begun to make the most adequate preparations for the conquest of the world. However, this does not mean that the arrogant king will have any contempt for the veteran. On the contrary, the words of "Pulsatilla" Dadali, King Hailing listened to them word for word.
