Chapter 575: Surround the enemy on three sides
Liao Taihao, the Duke of White Night, has just turned forty-eight years old this year, he is a person with the appearance of a brave warrior, and he also belongs to an alternative among the major nobles of Zhenguo, he doesn't care much about the cumbersome court entertainment, and only cares about power and power in his head, so he is called a hyena-like man behind the back of a group of people, which is to satirize his endless greed.
Although the sideburns have completely turned white, this is not the result of aging, and even the average person is not old at this age.
Dressed in the golden armor "rewarded" by the emperor, Liao Taihao broke into the emperor's residence without fear under the siege of heavy troops.
About every other month, the emperor will symbolically go to court, the biggest significance is the decoration on the court, and according to Liao Taihao's opinion to issue various documents, usually under house arrest in a large palace.
"What's the matter?"
Behind the sumptuous silk curtain sounded a subtle but still dignified voice.
"Forgive the old minister in armor, can not see the courtesy, now my country is worried about foreign troubles, the minister is willing to ask for an edict, called to the thief. ”
In front of the emperor, although Liao Taihao did not put on a proud stand, he also did not show the slightest respect, as if the elders were ordering the younger ones to do things.
Everyone in the palace has long been surprised, and they stand respectfully on both sides.
"Everything will be done according to Qing's wishes. ”
The Emperor's answer had long been familiar, and the number of times this sentence had been repeated over the years had been numbing.
"Fetch it. ”
Liao Taihao waved his hand, and someone immediately held the holy decree that had already been drawn up, these things, Liao Taihao had already prepared, waiting for the emperor to stamp the big seal, and he had the name of righteousness.
Even the holy decree can be prepared by himself, and the pity of the emperor's situation is self-evident.
The holy decree drew up rewards for some people, such as two martial gods, and some 'guest generals' that even the emperor had never seen and heard of, most of them were from Yongguo, and there were also inscriptions that identified Qiu Wuyi as a national thief, etc., the emperor stamped the big seal one by one with a blank face, and finally sent away Liao Taihao, who was showing off his might.
Although the two are now at war, they are nominally nobles in the country, and it is not reasonable for them to fight each other, and if the emperor's edict is issued, the nature will be completely different.
Of course, the vast majority of people in the entire Zhenguo are like mirrors, everyone knows Liao Taihao's deeds, and they can deceive themselves if they die, but this is indeed in line with legal principles, and no one can find a problem, otherwise Liao Taihao and Situ Wei would not have fought a bloodless battle in the court around the imperial capital back then.
"It is said that Bai Yegong has taken refuge in Yongguo, and now that I look at it, there is indeed such a thing. ”
Behind the curtain, the emperor sighed faintly, this matter is not trivial, even if it is to take refuge in other countries, it is equivalent to betraying the country, not to mention the long-term sworn enemy Yongguo.
"Your Majesty, the new Duke of Rising Star, Qiu Wuyi's strength is not weak, and there are countless mysteries, if he is loyal to the imperial court......"
There was another voice in the curtain, this person, nominally the emperor's handmaid, was actually a family of guards who had guarded the emperor since ancient times, and the only one who still maintained loyalty to the emperor.
"Impossible, the Duke who has risen recklessly, how can he have any loyalty, whether it is him or the White Night Duke, after the victory of either person, my life should also come to an end, alas, my life and death are irrelevant, and the people will suffer again in a big war. ”
Although he did not have the slightest strength, in the precarious situation of his own name, the emperor thought about the people who were caught in fire because of the war, but mercy and a sense of responsibility could not bring everything, and the all-out war between the two dukes finally broke out completely.
Liao Taihao first issued the edict to the entire earthquake country, and pretended to ask Qiu Wuyi to "focus on the overall situation of the country", Qiu Wuyi scoffed, and responded-for-tat with words such as "The people only know Bai Yegong, but they don't know that there is an emperor, what is the overall situation of the country?"
For so many years, Liao Taihao has been in the war, although he has changed opponents, there is no difference in what he should do, and he also understands the truth of knowing himself and his opponent.
But in the end, Liao Taihao still adopted a tactic that was almost reckless, and divided the million-strong army into three routes, attacking three and important passes respectively, in order to achieve a quick victory.
Of course, the million-strong army is basically a slogan, although the number of people is indeed million, but it includes reservists, transport teams, and even on-site conscripted people, laborers, etc., so the water in it is quite large, and it is only five or six hundred thousand troops to die.
In fact, Liao Taihao really has a million troops, even if all of them are pulled to the front line, it is not surprising, and even Qiu Wuyi is calculated according to this standard, and as a result, there are few unexpected troops on the battlefield, which can also be seen that Liao Taihao is just reckless on the surface, but in fact, he has calculated a lot.
"My lord, the Thunder Kingdom has really made a move, and the army of 200,000 people is already on the verge of the border. ”
In the brightly lit halls, cronies in charge of intelligence brought fresh quick reports that they had only gotten a few hours earlier.
"Hmph, regardless of whether these two people are related or not, if I am the new king of the Thunder Kingdom, I will definitely secretly get a piece of the pie now, this group of businessmen who only know how to focus on interests, even the king is a virtue!"
It was late at night, Liao Taihao was still in good spirits, and he didn't take it seriously at all from what happened to the Lei Kingdom, and even everything seemed to be in his calculations.
In the eyes of most Zhenguo people, the reputation of the people of the Thunder Kingdom has always been not very good, the Earthquake Country is more conservative, more important than farming, but the fashion of the Thunder Country is business, and even about one-tenth of the people will not stay on the land of their own country at all, and travel back and forth among the four countries of the mainland forever, this kind of behavior of not caring about the land is extremely incomprehensible to many Zhenguo people.
In addition, the character of the Lei people is also disgusted by many people, when there were still four countries on the mainland, the relationship between them was quite tense, and the people of Lei Guo went back and forth between the countries, doing business as best they could, seeing people and talking to people, there was no discipline at all.
So Liao Taihao's impression of Lei Guoren is still the same.
The reason why he sat on a million-strong army but did not attack with all his troops was to prevent this incident from happening.
Earthquake borders.
After the change of the thunder country, the main battle faction took power, and the country actually underwent subtle changes little by little, the Lie Kingdom collapsed, the ambition of the Yongguo swelled day by day, and the merchants' business did better, regarding these things, the new king of the Thunder Kingdom did not issue any orders to stop them, although he was targeting the Yongguo.
Regarding this matter, the new king Cheng Tiexuan has a different opinion.
"Even if I, Cheng Tiexuan, no longer have a beautiful woman to like one day, business will still have to be done. ”
In this regard, many people's comments are "I have never seen such a brazen person".
However, such a man started from scratch in a small piece of territory, and after many schemes, he overthrew the original king at lightning speed within a year, and established a country with an extremely liberal atmosphere.
At first, there were many people in the earthquake country who scoffed at it, thinking that this kind of ununited rabble would be of no use, but they all ignored one point.
People, in order to protect the freedom they have, will also work hard.
So the new king gathered hundreds of thousands of soldiers with high morale at a terrifying speed, and among them a large number of people who had been exiled from other countries and admired the national style of the Thunder Country, many of whom were battle-hardened generals.
The mysterious Hundred Evil Clan was suddenly announced to the public, and the clan that migrated from the Ju clan was also a manifestation of the freedom of the Thunder Country, even if the alien clan that had transformed its body also walked in the sun like ordinary people, it was indeed a little panicked at first, but under the free atmosphere advocated by the new king, they soon accepted each other.
"Why are there so many troops?
The creature of short stature, gray skin, spikes and a long tongue complained loudly in the camp, but despite his appearance, he was still a human and trusted in the army.
He is the younger brother of the patriarch of the Hundred Evil Clan, Xie Yu, but the age gap is huge, and now he is only a young man with strong blood, and he has won the respect of many soldiers with his enthusiasm and brave fighting.
Many of the soldiers of the Thunder Kingdom wanted to work under the generals of the Hundred Evil Clan, because these generals had no concept of class at all, and it was also due to the values caused by years of seclusion. Although these generals are physically different from humans, they can often make contributions with the advantages that only these magical beasts have.
"I heard a roar so far away, why are you so angry? ”
The confident voice sounded behind Xie Yu, and strangely enough, there were a lot of high-fives at the same time, which is also the cuteness of the new king, after abolishing most of the complicated etiquette, it seems that the new king has a soft spot for this way of greeting.
"Is that you? You said you were going to make a surprise attack, didn't it all be exposed? People were already ready, weren't they?"
Xie Yu pointed to the army waiting in the distance, and didn't pay attention to the identity of the comer.
"Not only that, but the pirates who suddenly appeared along the coast of Zhenguo were also blocked by the army guarding the city, and there was no place to exploit loopholes, this Liao Taihao was really not an ordinary person, but I don't know if my appearance is handsome and chic. ”
This is really not what a king should say, but most of the people of Lei Guo like it.
"Isn't that going to be a waste? Hurry back, what's the use of spending it here, or do you want to fight with them? I don't think this battle is easy to fight!"
Although Xie Yu doesn't read much and has a short temperament, he is extremely sensitive and can easily detect some dangers.
"No, no, my brother only said it was a surprise attack, but he didn't say that he let us make a surprise attack. ”
With a slight push of his fingertips, a long-lost light suddenly appeared under the lens.
