() Basr Capital, Diniumes, Wangshu's Mansion.

Good boy, not only took the life of Feng Shaojun, but also splashed dirty water on my head, killing two birds with one stone, spicy enough.

After receiving the news of Feng Shaojun's assassination and the series of events that followed it, the corners of Hu Yurui's mouth showed a grim smile. In fact, all of these were already in his expectations, and the only thing that surprised him was that the "homeland" defected to Fengxiang and established the Fifth Corps of the Fengxiang Kingdom. In this way, in terms of form, the Fengxiang Kingdom occupied a quarter of the territory area in the southern part of the continent, became the number one power in the southern region, and formed a military offensive posture of attacking from the west and south sides of Basil, which made Hu Yurui feel a little uneasy.

But, on the other hand, the most powerful country in the south is now a foreign power. The central government was controlled by the lord and faction, and a de facto state of military secession was formed at the local level. The powerful factions such as Bramić, Gongye Ruiliang, Li Yuxuan, and Feng Tianyang all have heavy troops in their hands and dominate one side, and the central government is simply unable to effectively govern them. From this point of view, it is also a good opportunity for Basr to expand externally.

Just as he was thinking about the future trend of the political pattern in the southern part of the continent, a scout came to the gate of Uncle Wang's mansion and brought a secret letter from Duke Yeluo of Fallen Leaf City.

Linghu Yurui, who was sitting in his study, took the secret letter in the scout's hand, and waved everyone away at the same time. When he tore open the seal of the secret letter and read all the contents inside, a look of surprise appeared on his face. Subsequently, Linghu Yurui also wrote a secret letter and handed it to the scout. He also specially instructed that he should hand it over to the Duke of Yeluo in Fallen Leaf City.

Stinky boy, you killed Feng Shaojun and made a mess of Feng Xiang's situation, now I will add some ingredients to it to make this play more exciting.

It turned out that the secret letter brought the news that the commander of Fengxiang's Third Legion, Bramitch, wanted to join forces with Linghu Yurui to deal with Fengxiang. For Linghu Yurui, who has been racking his brains to defeat Feng Xiang's opponent, this is definitely a great news.

Ling Hu Yurui knew very well in his heart that with Baser's current national strength, it was almost impossible to shake Fengxiang's foundation. However, if you can use some means to cause Fengxiang to fight among each other and consume its national strength, it is definitely the best way to achieve your goal.

Fengxiang's big tree now has a three-day-old borer, Bramitch, Feng Tianyang, Li Yuxuan. It seems that the big tree of Fengxiang will fall sooner or later. The moment when Fengxiang fell apart, it was the day when Basr dominated the south.

The historical facts that happened later show that the Fengxiang Kingdom was indeed as expected by Linghu Yurui, and finally went to extinction. But what he never expected was that it was not Basil who got the most benefit from it, but Li Yuxuan.

Broomfield City, Sky Dragoon Camp.

"What! Feng Shaojun was assassinated, what a hell!" Zhao Ling yelled at the scout sent by Feng Tianyang.

Duan Chou on the side waved his hand and ordered the scout to leave the big tent, his expression equally depressed.

"What should we do now, I didn't expect Feng Shaojun to be useless. Seeing that the soon-to-be success was messed up by him, all our plans to go south were in vain. Zhao Ling ripped off the map of the southern part of the continent hanging in the tent.

Sun Qingyu, the deputy standing beside Zhao Ling, was also at a loss at the moment. In the face of this sudden change, I can't think of a good way to deal with it.

The whole tent was dead silent, silent for a long time, and finally Duan Chou broke the silence.

"Lord Ling, Feng Tianyang asked us to fight back to Fengcheng with him, I don't know what the prince thinks about this?"

That kid is narrow-minded and ambitious, and he is not a handsome person at all. If you pin your hopes on him and assist him to become the master of Fengxiang, it would be a fool's dream. Now his 20,000 men were trapped in Broomfield, with Gongye Ruiliang's 2nd Infantry Regiment blocking his way south, and Linghu Yurui waiting for an opportunity to move behind. If he doesn't move, he will be able to take advantage of the need to enter and occupy Broomfield. And he categorically couldn't take Gongye Ruiliang's Second Infantry Regiment. has neither the talent to be handsome, nor the prestige of his father Feng Shaojun in the Fengxiang military world, and he wants to be the master of Fengxiang with his boy. In my opinion, there is a chance that ** will end up as a lonely ghost. I can't turn the Knights of the Empire into his burial objects!"

"Lord Ling is wise, in fact, the purpose of our southward trip this time is half achieved. ”

"You mean Li Yuxuan?"

"Yes, in fact, Lord Xiao had already anticipated this situation before leaving, in case Feng Shaojun failed to become the Lord of Fengxiang as he wished, then the Third Knights would go north to return to Tianlong. ”

"But what about Li Yuxuan? We don't care about him, since he is the current master of the Panlong Ancient Sword, then he is the biggest threat to the empire, can we let him go? Now he is openly taking refuge in Feng Xiang, but secretly he must be trying to figure out how to expand his territory and strengthen his own power. The plan originally formulated by the Prime Minister to restrain Li Yuxuan was also wiped out because of Feng Shaojun's assassination!" Speaking of this, Zhao Ling's heart was filled with an indescribable depression.

"If we can send one or two more knights to Fengxiang, then we can also wipe out the entire Fengxiang and Li Yuxuan with our own strength. Sun Qingyu interjected on the side.

"Lord Xiao has been planning the empire's 'westward expansion plan' for nearly a year, and every military force that the empire can mobilize has been invested in this plan. This plan is related to the Celestial Dragon Empire's hundred-year plan. If it weren't for Feng Xiang's lack of cavalry, Lord Xiao would definitely not have sent the Third Knights south!" Duan Chou explained on the side.

"I also know this, but I don't feel comfortable no matter how I think about it, I just let this kid Li Yuxuan continue to run rampant in the south. Zhao Ling's face was full of resentment.

"Lord Ling, have you forgotten that there is another fox?" Duan Chou said with a gloomy face.

"Fox, you're commanding Fox Yurui. yes, I didn't think of that!"

"According to the report of our spy based in Basir, it seems that Linghu Yurui has a very close relationship with the Bai family. And recently I heard that the commander of Feng Xiang's Third Army, Bramich, had reached some kind of agreement with him. I believe that with him, Li Yuxuan would not be able to run rampant in the south. Besides, with the military strength of less than 10,000 people in the land of the Talo level, if you want to make a difference, how can it be done in three or five years. By that time, our Tianlong has already swept the world and dominated the country, and he, Li Yuxuan, will eventually become the defeated general of the empire. ”

"Then you mean we withdraw to the Celestial Dragon?"

"It's not the meaning of the subordinates, it's the meaning of Lord Xiao. Lord Xiao had already sent the Second Imperial Fleet to garrison Rotterdam City just in case. ”

"The city of Rotterdam?"

"Yes, the lord of the city has long since returned to the Empire, so the Second Fleet is now the escort fleet of Rotterdam. ”

"Are we going to Rotterdam, then, and from there we are going to get on the boat back to the Dragon, in which case we will have to cross the Kurlent Mountains?"

"No, let's go to the port of Antwerp in Fengxiang, and from there we will set off back to Tianlong. The Second Fleet will be there to pick us up and take us back to the Empire. ”

"Then we will pass through Fengxiang's territory. Without the cover of Feng Shaojun, our whereabouts will definitely be exposed. At that time, all the countries on the continent will know that Tianlong has sent troops overseas, and they will inevitably be shocked and strengthen their armaments. Then our 'westward expansion plan' will also be affected. Zhao Ling had a worried look on his face.

"Could it be that Lord Ling has forgotten that our army is cavalry?"

"Cavalry, what's wrong with the cavalry?" Zhao Ling didn't understand the meaning of Duan Chou's words.

"Cavalry will have horses. ”

"Of course the cavalry will have horses!" Sun Qingyu on the side, like Zhao Ling, didn't know what the horses had to do with returning to China.

"Now that we are in another country, we have no grain and grass storage, and we can't use the government's means, so we have to find a way to do it ourselves. ”

"Yes, now we only have ten days of food stock, and the time is quite short!" Sun Qingyu worried.

"Duan Chou, tell me your plan!"

"Yes, Lord Ling! My solution is to break it into pieces, and everyone will be a merchant selling horses. Nowadays, there are frequent wars in the south, and horses, as an important strategic material, are now quite expensive. ”

"What, you're going to sell horses! Just kidding, without horses, what kind of cavalry are you called, what kind of knights are you called!" Sun Qingyu yelled.

"Wait. Zhao Ling stopped Sun Qingyu's roar, "This is indeed a good idea. First, we don't need to alarm the government of Fengxiang, we can reach the port of Antwerp without noticing. Second, if the horses were brought back to the Tenryu, it would not only increase the burden on the Second Fleet, but would also easily attract the attention of others. Thirdly, we will definitely not lose money on this transaction. After returning to Tianlong, we can use the remaining funds to buy the horses we need, and I am sure there will be a surplus. ”

"I see!" Sun Qingyu suddenly realized at this moment.

"My subordinates still have one more thing to report to the prince!" Duan Chou's cautious appearance made Sun Qingyu on the side feel a little inexplicable.

"It's about Princess Celestia's ......"

"Don't say it, I'll deal with this matter myself, you all go down and prepare, just follow the plan just now, and everyone will set off tomorrow morning!" Zhao Ling interrupted Duan Chou's words with a gloomy face.

Duan Chou, as soon as Sun Qingyu saw that his master was unhappy, he immediately closed his mouth in amusement and withdrew from Zhao Ling's camp.

In fact, it has been nearly six months since she last left Kefield, and Zhao Yi has been with her younger brother. The siblings confided in each other about their experiences over the years. Zhao Ling also knew that her sister and Bai Yunqi had lived happily over the years. But now that Bai Yunqi has become Li Yuxuan's subordinate, sooner or later he will be the enemy of Tianlong, and Zhao Lingzhen doesn't know how to explain the relationship to his sister.

Moreover, Zhao Yi once made it clear that he was married to Bai Yunqi as his wife, so he was not ready to return to the empire. And Zhao Ling has been leading troops in the south these days, and he has no intention of returning to the empire for a while, so this issue has been delayed again and again. But now it's not going to work, I see that I'm going back to Tianlong, and Zhao Yi's stay has become a piece of my heart.
