037, the truth

"Your Majesty! This is a new battle report from the north, and the soldiers and horses transferred from the west have rushed to defend the Velvet City and blocked the attack of the barbarians of the Velvet Country! However, due to the surge in the number of soldiers and horses, the grain and grass in the north are in an emergency, and I request that the grain and grass be dispatched as soon as possible to support! ”

"Your Majesty! There is a shortage of troops in the Western Regions, and the state-owned army of Wuzi in the Western Regions suddenly appeared in the important town of the western region of our Great Zhou! The Western Army asks for reinforcements! ”

"Your Majesty, according to the report from the spies, the foreign tribes in southern Xinjiang began to dispatch troops seven days ago, and there seems to be an abnormal movement!"

In the face of the defeat of the velvet country in the north, the whole body was moved, and after the reinforcements of the soldiers and horses in the western region were transferred, the Wuzi country of the Western Regions, which originally surrendered to the Great Zhou and paid tribute every year, was actually ready to move.

At this time, the foreign tribes in southern Xinjiang also dispatched troops and waited for an opportunity to move.

In addition, due to the reinforcements of soldiers and horses in the west, and the attack on the city by the barbarian wolves of the Velvet Country, part of it was destroyed, and the reserve of war grain and grass was also in an emergency.

The military began to buy from the people, which led to the crazy growth of grain prices in the north of the Great Zhou, and the people were originally only barely enough to eat food, but with the crazy increase in food prices, they suddenly couldn't afford to eat.

For a time, the people in the north were full of grievances, and they were originally only sympathetic and pitiful for the decision of the current saint to severely punish Su Ling, at most a little bit of resentment, but when it came to their own interests, the dissatisfaction of the people in the north with the current saint soared wildly in an instant!

After the local government learned about it, it immediately suppressed it, but it was okay not to suppress it, this suppression directly led to a big explosive backlash!

Some people who can't eat enough food directly scolded the faint king on the street, just to be caught in the yamen prison and beg for a bite of clear soup and little water prison food.

Soon, the yamen of various local government offices were filled with people, and they could no longer hold superfluous.

Instead of curbing public discontent, this move intensified, and incidents of burning, killing and looting gradually appeared in some remote places.

For a while, the northern parts of the country began to become chaotic.

And the north has become like this, but in just about a month.

In addition, this chaotic trend, which has not stopped, is spreading to the south......

After Jingzhong learned of these circumstances, the old emperor asked the ministers in charge of various ministries what good strategies they had, and the ministers also offered advice one after another, but they were all palliative measures rather than curing the root cause.

In the end, it was Prime Minister Li Qingyuan who spoke bluntly and said: "Your Majesty, the only way to cure this chaos now is to invite His Highness the Thirteenth to go to the north again to defeat the Velvet Country, and let the soldiers and horses transferred from the west go back to deter Wuzi Xiaoxiao." As for the chaos in various parts of the Great Zhou, it is just a superficial sore wound, and it can be treated. ”

Hearing Li Qingyuan's words, the old emperor who was sitting on the dragon chair in the main hall had obvious embarrassment on his face, which had always been expressionless just to make everyone unable to figure out his intentions.

He just ordered the thirteen sons to be recalled from the north and imprisoned in the Zongren Mansion for a month, and now he wants to let him out?

Such contradictory behavior is simply a slap in the face!

At that time, what majesty will he have?

I only heard him say: "Could it be that my Da Zhou has no one to use except him?" ”

After that, his eyes swept over the civil and military attaches under the palace, but none of them dared to look at him, and they all lowered their heads, let alone answered.

The humanistic military attaches in the hall are not stupid, the Vulcan Army originally relied on the advantage in the number of soldiers and horses, which was able to hold the northern border, so the barbarians of the Fire Velvet Country still dared to invade from time to time, not to mention the Vulcan Army that is now losing troops.

Once anyone takes over this drudgery and goes to the north, then the soldiers and horses transferred from the west will go back to guard the west, and it is impossible to win the barbarians of the velvet country with the Vulcan army that has lost its troops.

Even if the thirteen princes with the name of "God of War" were invited again, the military attachΓ©s present suspected that the other party might not be able to win this battle under such conditions.

They have been in officialdom for a long time, they are basically human spirits, and they may not have much ability, but in terms of seeing the situation clearly, no one can compare with them.

Looking at the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty, no one dared to speak, and the old emperor could only take a deep breath and said again: "Okay, I know." ”

Now that Da Zhou is worried about external troubles, no matter how much he dislikes the thirteen sons, as the king of a country, he can still distinguish the importance clearly.

Moreover, he also knows the war in the north now, no matter how good the thirteen sons are in terms of their military ability, with the current strength of the Vulcan Army, it is impossible for the thirteen sons to win in a short time.

It's good to put it in the north and spend a few years with the velvet country.

can stabilize the situation and make him calm, which can be regarded as killing two birds with one stone.

As for the question of the high merit, when the situation is stable and the war is about to be won, then transfer the other party back and let one of his favorite sons pick peaches.

The only bad thing is that he has only been imprisoned in the Zongren Mansion for a month, and now he has been released again, which has somewhat lost his face.

But now I can't help it.

As soon as he thought of this, the old emperor immediately asked the eunuch on the side to start drafting the decree.

……

[Zhou Zhe's proposed decree, let you out of the Zongren Mansion, and once again go out on behalf of the royal family to defeat the barbarians of the Velvet Country in the north......]

The text information that suddenly appeared in his mind made Su Ling, who was in the Zongren Mansion, couldn't help but smile slightly.

The ability of [Self Omniscience] fed back the current situation of Da Zhou into his mind in great detail, and turned it into concrete written information, so he knew what the old emperor had in mind.

According to the common sense of this world, with the strength of the Vulcan Army now, even if he can know the movements of the barbarians of the Fire Velvet Country in every detail, without sufficient troops, it is indeed impossible to win this war in a short period of time.

But alas, this is according to the common sense of this world.

But he is not from this world!

The box of bombs in the fifteenth prince's basement, as well as the large amount of sulfur, saltpeter, and charcoal that the player has been buying since he entered the game, as well as the "primary bomb making" skill he learned when he used his [Self-Omniscience] ability to observe the other party, will be his big killer weapon to quickly solve this war!

Under the background of this cold weapon, the bomb is like an artifact!

Coupled with his [self-omniscience] ability, he can gain insight into every move of the barbarians of the Velvet Country, and he has not yet set out in this war, and the result is actually doomed.

"It's almost time to wrap up."

Now that the layout is now, the emotions he wants are already there, and the next thing is the final ignition, which will detonate the whole incident......

A day later.

Su Ling's "no complaints" command left the Zongren Mansion and hurried to the north.

In order to appease the morale of the army and the people, the old emperor asked the official to publicize the matter among the people, and the northern army also asked the scouts to rush to the eight hundred miles early to inform them of the incident and stabilize the morale of the army.

And this move has indeed greatly boosted the morale of the Northern Vulcan Army!

The people who don't understand the military have also been appeased, and under the hype of the "people with hearts" in the past, the name of Su Ling's "God of War" has been deified, so that the people have a concept that as long as the "God of War" goes out, the war will be won!

And the truth is exactly what the people expected.

When the thirteen princes of the "God of War" came to the north and presided over the war against the barbarians of the Velvet Country with full authority, in less than three days, they won the first battle, and the barbarians of the Velvet Country who had invaded the northern border of the Velvet City and nearly thirty miles to the south fled back to the Velvet City.

Then, in less than seven days, the barbarians of the Velvet Country were beaten again and withdrew from the Velvet City and headed for the border.

After that, there were many successes along the way, and the barbarians of the Velvet Country were defeated and retreated!

Since the thirteen princes of the "God of War" set off for the north, the familiar sound of continuous good news has also appeared in the streets and alleys of the capital again.

"Report~~ Under the leadership of the Thirteen Princes, the Vulcan Army won the first battle and stifled the continued invasion of the Fire Velvet Barbarians!"

"Report~~ Under the leadership of the Thirteen Princes, the Vulcan Army won a big victory again and recaptured Shourong City!"

"Report~~ Under the wise leadership of the Thirteen Princes, our army has driven the barbarians of the Velvet Country out of the land of Great Zhou!"

"Report~~ The barbarians of the Velvet Country were frightened by the Thirteen Princes and my Vulcan Army, and proposed peace!"

One after another, in less than two months, the Velvet Country was driven out of the territory of the Great Zhou Dynasty!

What's even more outrageous is that the barbarians of the Velvet Country, who have always been extremely vicious and not afraid of life and death, were actually afraid of being beaten and proposed peace! This is simply unheard of and unseen!!

When the old emperor received one good news after another, he was stunned.

Especially when he received that the barbarians of the Velvet Country were preparing to negotiate peace, he felt like he was in a dream!

"How is this ...... Possible?! ”

Even the founding emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty didn't beat the uncivilized barbarians of the Velvet Country, how did the thirteen sons do it?!

And, in just two months!

"It is said that His Highness the Thirteenth invented a thing called 'gunpowder' and used it to create a divine weapon called 'bomb'."

The secret guard of the Dark Night Division who reported answered the doubts in the old emperor's heart, "I heard that this 'bomb' divine soldier has the power of thunder, and one can kill more than a dozen barbarians of the velvet country. ”

"'Bomb' Divine Soldier?"

The old emperor was full of doubts when he heard this, and frowned and said, "You ask the northern border to bring one for me to see." ”

"Yes!"

The secret guard of the report should admit it.

Seven days later.

The Royal Palace, the Imperial Study.

A Vulcan general in the north brought a "bomb" soldier.

Looking at the tubular, ordinary-looking so-called "bomb" divine soldier, the old emperor wanted to reach out and touch it, but was hurriedly told by the soldier of the Vulcan Army: "Your Majesty, this thing is dangerous, if no one has taught you how to use it, it may hurt Your Majesty, so let the lower officials demonstrate it." ”

When the old emperor heard this, he nodded, but didn't say anything.

Afterwards, everyone came to the courtyard of the imperial study for a demonstration.

The general pulled out the tubular "bomb" divine soldier and threw it out.

A moment later –

"Boom!"

A huge explosion burst out from the courtyard of the imperial study, shaking the palace!

When the smoke of the explosion cleared, everyone saw that the explosion was in shambles, with ruins everywhere and the ground blackened.

Hiss!

Looking at the power of this "bomb" divine weapon, everyone present couldn't help but gasp.

However, when the old emperor looked at the scorched black ground and mess that exploded, there was a "buzz" in his head, and a strong feeling of dizziness suddenly surged into his head.

At the same time, pictures also appeared in his mind at this time.

Ruined courtyard......

...... on charred ground

Bloody limbs splattered all over the ground......

The four people are not human, and the ghosts are not ghosts, and the figures lying everywhere are ......

It turned out to be him!

It turned out to be him!!

It turned out to be him!!

When the old emperor understood the truth of the so-called "Heavenly Thunder", his whole body was churning and surging with blood, his eyes were even redder, and he couldn't help but let out an angry roar that shocked the entire imperial study:

"Rebel !!"
