Roland, who came to the palace for the first time, couldn't help but open his mouth wide when he saw this scene, and he couldn't close it for a long time.

In the past, she thought that the Jin Imperial Palace, which was built on the mountainside, was a miraculous workmanship, but compared to the imperial palace of the empire, it was a small thing, and she couldn't help muttering: "It turns out that this is the imperial palace......"

"Yes!" At this time, Lin Haotian was also full of emotion in his heart. Lin Haotian took a deep breath, put his hands behind his back, walked across the suspension bridge, walked through the gate of the palace, and entered it.

It was almost exactly the same as when he first came, and after entering the palace, the first thing that greeted him was an incomparably huge square, which was filled with soldiers of the Four Nations Alliance, and now it has become a soldier of the Golden Army.

As Lin Haotian entered, the soldiers of the Jin Army standing on the square knelt on one knee in unison, and for a while, there was a loud sound when the armor rubbed together, and people shouted in unison: "Meet your lord!"

Even people who are as heart-warming as they are will become enthusiastic in such a scene, not to mention that Lin Haotian's heart is calm only because of the relationship between cultivation and profundity, and there is still a belligerent and ambitious factor flowing in his bones. He squinted his eyes and slowly scanned the soldiers in the square, and the light from his eyes was almost undaring.

He did not speak, but walked unhurriedly, and under the gaze of countless eyes of the soldiers, he passed through the crowd and walked straight to the main hall of the palace.

When you come to the main hall, you can see that there is a wide and long staircase in front of you, all of which are paved with pure white marble, and it is not known how many steps there are, but it is estimated that there must be at least dozens of them.

Lin Haotian walked up the stairs slowly with his hands behind his back, each section of the steps was engraved with different patterns, and each pattern represented a different meaning, Lin Haotian sometimes looked down, and sometimes looked left and right.

Soon, he climbed to the top of the stairs, and further on, the gate of the main hall of the palace.

Lin Haotian narrowed his eyes and looked into the main hall, he didn't see anything else, the first thing he saw was the golden chair placed in the center of the main hall, which was the only imperial chair in this world that only the Son of Heaven could sit on.

Lin Haotian stared at the imperial chair for a long time, then slowly retracted his gaze, and after a moment's pause, he turned back sharply, looked down at the crowds of Jin soldiers below, raised his arms and shouted: "Jin-"

His voice sounded as if he had ignited a powder keg.

"Kim, Kim, Kim—" Listening to the shouts of the officers and men of the Jin army in the square, the faces of the people turned red one by one, and the green tendons on their necks were stretched high, and they roared with all their strength, even if the distance was long, the shouting and shouting shook the eardrums.

The word 'gold' is the cohesion of the Jin army.

For this word, countless golden people can take up arms without hesitation and rush to the battlefield, for this word, even if they know that there is an abyss ahead, countless golden people can rush up without hesitation, jump down, and pave the way for future generations with their own flesh and blood.

For more than 1,000 years, the Jin country is located in the northeast, the harsh environment, the neighbors and foreign tribes are bullying, so that the Jin people naturally give birth to a strong centripetal force, but also let the Jin people understand a truth, only self-improvement can survive, only by destroying the enemy can not be wiped out by the enemy. It's just that the Jin country has always lacked a strong leader, and later Lin Haotian became the commander of the Jin army, and the Jin country was like a 10,000-year-old volcano that finally found an eruption vent. It can be said that Lin Haotian's handsome position is not right, and there are too many places that can be criticized, and the reason why he can be accepted by most Jin people is that his belligerence and strength have become the most important factors.

The Fourth Legion is a close army, and most of the soldiers in it are old Jin people, and it can be said that they are the purest Jin people, if in the past, they never dreamed that they could stand in the palace of Liuhe and shout loudly, and all this they are experiencing now is the glory that adults bring to them.

The palace in Liuhe is not suitable for wandering, the structure inside is too complex and the area is too large, even if you only want to walk through the first floor, it will take a whole day's work.

Lin Haotian walked up the mountain accompanied by Gu Liangyun, Shao Lin, Tong Lei, Luo Lan and others. On the way, he can often meet palace maids shuttling by, Lin Haotian asked Gu Liangyun: "How many people are there in the palace now?"

Gu Liangyun was stunned, hurriedly took out a booklet, and looked through it for a while before saying, "My lord, there are more than 2,300 palace maids in the palace now. There used to be nearly 10,000 guards, but those were all Yan people, and now they have withdrawn with the Yan army. ”

Lin Haotian nodded, to take care of such a large palace, the number of palace maids must be indispensable, he said: "The Fourth Legion has divided a corps to temporarily serve as the palace guards, we have just taken over Liuhe, and the palace can't make trouble no matter what." ”

"Yes. My lord, the general will definitely take care of this. Gu Liangyun arched his hand and said.

Lin Haotian and his party walked from the first floor of the palace to the top floor of the palace. At the commanding heights of the top floor, there is also a tall platform called the Sky Terrace.

Climb the rooftop and look down, almost the entire Willow River can be seen.

Lin Haotian also stood on the top of the sky for the first time, and couldn't help but feel a burst of excitement, and said to himself: "This place is really 'going to be the top of the mountain, and you can see the mountains at a glance'!"

Gu Liangyun saw that he was in a good mood and stepped forward. He asked in a low voice, "My lord, is it true that Jin Guo wants to move its capital to Liuhe again?"

Lin Haotian nodded. He said: "Of course! In the future, this will be the capital of my Jin Kingdom." ”

Hearing this, everyone invariably took a breath in their hearts, not because they wanted to move the capital, but because of Lin Haotian's words, which obviously meant replacing Zhao Yu.

Gu Liangyun frowned and said, "But my country has just moved the capital to Jiankang not long ago. It has been a waste of money and labor, and it has not been completely stable until now, so will it be ...... to move the capital to Liuhe at this time? Besides, south of the Liuhe River is the territory of the Yan Kingdom. Adjacent to the Yan country, the capital is here, I'm afraid, it's not appropriate, please think twice. ”

Lin Haotian smiled indifferently and said, "It is precisely because Liuhe is located on the border of Jinyan that I consider moving the capital to Liuhe. Where the capital is located, the country's important place, it is inevitable to hoard heavy troops, so that it can prevent the Yan army from going north, and it is convenient for our army to attack the Yan country at any time, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone. "Pause. He smiled again: "Of course, risks and opportunities coexist, and the capital is set in Liuhe, which will also create a tense atmosphere, so that those ministers in the court will not be too tired." ”

Gu Liangyun was faintly worried, but saw Lin Haotian insisting. He didn't say anything more.

Seeing that the conversation between the two came to an end, Roland immediately stepped forward and said with a smile: "My lord, why don't we go back to the post station today and stay in the palace." ”

After speaking, seeing that everyone around him was looking at him with strange eyes, Roland hurriedly explained: "Such a big palace is empty and empty, not to mention. It's a much better place than a post house, so adults should live here. ”

Everyone couldn't laugh or cry when they heard this, the palace is a place where you can live if you want to, even if it is empty, even if you have now received Liuhe, but at least you need to abide by the suspicion.

Lin Haotian said indifferently: "No matter how bad the conditions of the post station are, it is better than the barracks, and you can live in the barracks." Can't you still live in a post house?"

Roland shrank his neck after being reprimanded, and did not dare to say more.

Stroll around the palace until the evening. Lin Haotian and his entourage left the palace and returned to the post station.

On the way back to the post station, Lin Haotian deliberately lifted the curtain of the carriage and looked out.

The current Liuhe has hardly changed from when he first came, it is still so much bustling and lively, and people are still coming and going. Heavy traffic. Although Liuhe has changed hands one after another in recent years, and there have been constant wars, it is the national capital after all, and no matter whether it is the original You Army or the later Yan Army, it will be much more restrained when ruling Liuhe. The people of Liuhe were not too affected by the scourge of war.

Without saying anything all the way, Lin Haotian took the car back to the post station and stayed in Liuhe temporarily.

Just took over Liuhe, there are a lot of affairs to deal with, Lin Haotian can't be busy alone, he asked Jiankang to pass on, and urgently transferred Peng Qian to Liuhe.

But on the third day of Lin Haotian's stay in Liuhe, a shocking news suddenly came from Yanguo.

At noon that day, Lin Haotian was walking in the garden of the post station after lunch, and at this time, Shao Lin and Tong Lei ran over in a hurry.

Lin Haotian was still calm on his face, and when the two of them came closer, he asked slowly, "What happened, so flustered?"

"My lord, something is wrong!" Shao Lin said first.

"What's the matter?" Lin Haotian's gaze turned around on the faces of Shao Lin and Tong Lei.

"I just received the news that when King Yan inspected the country, he was on the way back...... Passed away. Tong Lei stepped forward and whispered in Lin Haotian's ear.

"What?" Lin Haotian's body was shocked when he heard this, Yin Ji died of illness? Is this true? Is Yin Ji really dead? He frowned and asked, "Is the news reliable?"

"My lord, absolutely reliable. Shao Lin continued: "Now the Yan army is wearing linen with filial piety, and the white flag is also raised in the barracks, and it is reported that the cries of the Yan army can be heard outside the camp. ”

Tong Lei nodded again and again, indicating that Shao Lin was right.

Yin Ji is really dead...... Lin Haotian still couldn't react to this sudden news, he frowned, took two steps back, and paced back and forth with his hands behind his back.

He didn't speak, the scene was silent, and everyone was watching him.

I don't know how long it took, Lin Haotian suddenly stopped, and said in a deep voice: "Check! Send someone to investigate immediately, we must find out whether Yin Ji is really dead or cheating!"

Shao Lin and Tong Lei glanced at each other, and then, the two of them bowed their hands and said, "Yes!

Lin Haotian's eyes kept rolling, and he suddenly remembered something, raised his hand and said, "Shao Lin!"

"The subordinates are here!"

"You send someone to send an order to Ding Feng now, so that he can immediately lead the army to Liuhe!" Lin Haotian said: "Also, the Second Army and the Hanlin Army will also come with the First Army." ”

"Yes, sir!" Shao Lin agreed, and ran out quickly.

At this time, Lin Haotian's mood couldn't help but throb for a while, if Yin Ji is really dead, then in the near future, Yanguo will be in chaos, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for his own side to send troops, I am afraid that Yin Ji is a fraud to death, and deliberately designed to lure himself into the bait.

In the next few days, the news of Jin's exploration spread to Liuhe like a marquee.

Every piece of news said that Yin Ji had indeed died, which was true, and even the spies of the Jin Kingdom lurking in Zhaoyang, the capital of the Yan Kingdom, sent back the news, saying that Zhaoyang had received the urgency of King Yan's death, and now the government and the opposition were in a panic.

Through these successive news, Lin Haotian can basically determine that Yin Ji has indeed passed away, if he is acting. It's impossible to make a show for the whole country, and the cost is too high.

Lin Haotian made up his mind, he couldn't miss this opportunity no matter what.

A few days later, the First Army, the Second Army, and the Hanlin Army led by Ding Feng, Bi Wu, and Wang Han traveled overnight and arrived at Liuhe. At present, the strength of the three armies together is close to 300,000 people, plus the Fourth Army under Lin Haotian. The total number of troops was 400,000.

After seeing Ding Feng, Bi Wu and Wang Han in the lobby of the post station, Lin Haotian first asked, "Have you heard the news of Yin Ji's death?"

The three of them looked at each other, nodded together, and said, "Lord Hui, the last general has already heard about it." ”

"What do you think?"

"The last general...... It is not yet possible to determine whether this is true or not. Ding Feng was full of suspicion and said, "King Yan's health has always been very good, how could he suddenly die of illness? ”

Others may not be able to see it. But Lin Haotian could guess that Yin Ji's health was not good, and he was already in a state of overdraft, and it was not impossible for him to suddenly die after a long journey to inspect the national situation this time. Like a mirror in his heart, he didn't say anything, he asked: "Ding Feng, if Yin Ji is cheating, you can talk about it." What is his purpose?"

"This ......" Ding Feng shook his head with a wry smile and said, "This is the most strange place. The last general really couldn't find out what benefit King Yan's death could do to Yan Guo. It stands to reason that if King Yan cheated to death, his purpose should be to lead our country to send troops to attack, and Yan Guo prepared an ambush in advance so as to give our army a head-on attack, but now Shenchi is on the side of our Jin country. Yin Ji should be unwilling to start a war with our country in his heart, so how could he lead our army to attack by deceiving his death? The last general really couldn't figure it out. ”

Lin Haotian snapped his fingers and said with a smile: "You're right, with the current situation, it's too late for Yanguo to avoid war." How could he take the initiative to lead our army to attack? Therefore, I judge that Yin Ji really died of illness, and now is an excellent opportunity for our country to send troops!"

Ding Feng took a breath, subconsciously looked at Bi Wu and Wang Han, and silently asked what they meant.

The stakes were high, and Bi Wu and Wang Han also frowned tightly.

After a while, Wang Han opened his mouth and asked, "When do you plan to send troops, and how many soldiers and horses are mobilized? Will you directly attack Huanglong and advance Yandu or will you encroach on the land?"

Lin Haotian smiled, stood up, and then lowered his head to Shao Lin and Tonglei on the left and right.

The two of them immediately took a long roll of canvas, spread it on the ground, and unfolded it, and people looked down and saw that it was a map of the northern part of the Yan Kingdom.

After glancing at everyone, Lin Haotian walked directly to the map, took out the saber under his ribs, pointed to the map, and said, "Here! I want Shuangtang County in Yanguo!"

Ding Feng, Bi Wu, and Wang Han subconsciously stood up and looked down at the place Lin Haotian was pointing at.

Shuangtang County is located in the northern part of the Yan Kingdom. To the south of the Liuhe River is Leize County in the Yan Kingdom, and further south is Yisu County, and to the south of Yisu County is Shuangtang County. There are many high mountains and mountains in Shuangtang County, and there is a very famous and extremely important checkpoint, Xuangu Pass.

It can be said that Xuangu Pass is the only way to connect the three counties of Lei Ze, Yisu and Shuangtang in the middle of Yanguo, and getting stuck in Xuangu Pass is equivalent to cutting off the connection between the three counties and the mainland of Yanguo, of course, as long as Jin Guo can occupy Xuangu Pass, it is equivalent to cutting off the three counties of Yan at once, then Jin Guo's advantage over Yan Guo will become greater.

Lin Haotian knew very well in his heart that although Yin Ji's violent death would put the government and opposition of the Yan Kingdom in chaos temporarily, the strength of the Yan Kingdom was still there, and it was impossible for the Jin State to defeat the behemoth of the Yan Kingdom at once.

He retreated to the next best thing, seized the three counties of Lei Ze, Yisu and Shuangtang in the Yan country, and controlled the Xuangu Pass, so that in the future, the Jin country will send troops to the Yan country, it will be a horse to calm the Yan, and the Yan country will no longer be in danger to defend.

Therefore, Lin Haotian set the target of this army as Shuangtang County, and the land grabbing was second, and what he wanted most was Xuangu Pass.

Bi Wu nodded while looking at the map, and said: "The Xuangu Pass in Shuangtang County can be called an important place for soldiers to fight, and it is also the only way for the hinterland of Yanguo to connect the three counties in the north and central China.

Ding Feng and Wang Han also nodded again and again, saying that Bi Wu was right, if you want to send troops, at least you have to be famous, so that you can become a righteous army.

When Lin Haotian heard this, he smiled lightly and said: "Yan Guo has occupied Liuhe for so long, has it really not taken a penny or a treasure from Liuhe? We can ask Yan Guo for it first, if Yan Guo can't hand it over, won't we be famous?"

"What do you mean......" Everyone looked at Lin Haotian in unison.

Lin Haotian asked Gu Liangyun: "How much is Liuhe's tax revenue in a year?"

Gu Liangyun was stunned for a moment, hurriedly took out her booklet again, looked through it carefully, and after confirming it, Zhengse said: "Back to my lord, Liuhe's annual tax revenue is close to 10 million taels. ”

Lin Haotian said: "The Son of Heaven has been away from the capital for four or five years, and in the past four or five years, the tax revenue alone has been reduced by tens of millions of taels, in addition, the treasures lost in the palace have also been countless, and in total, there must be almost 10,000 taels, and this money should come from the Yan Kingdom!"

Everyone invariably took a breath, Yan Guo had only occupied Liuhe for more than a year, but he wanted them to take out 10,000 taels of silver, how could Yan Guo be this unjust leader?

Ding Feng said: "My lord, Yan Guo will definitely not accept such a request!"

"Therefore, our country has a legitimate reason to send troops to fight. Lin Haotian said with a smile: "If Yanguo refuses to hand over 10,000 taels of silver, then take the three counties of Lei Ze, Yisu, and Shuangtang to pay off the debt!"

It turns out that this is the so-called teacher of the adult! (To be continued......)
