Ordinary people always think that as the commander of the 300,000 army, Zichuan Xiu is very busy. With so many soldiers and horses under his command, he had to patrol the troops all day long, give orders, and occasionally run to shake hands with the soldiers to show the pro-mínzhǔ righteousness of the commander.

In fact, this is a complete misunderstanding. Shikawa Shu already knew that as the commander of the army, if he had to do everything himself, then all kinds of affairs would drown him like cháo water bursting the embankment. Fortunately, he has a capable staff team, and the commander-in-chief of the march of the army is Roger, even if there are some unexpected events that are beyond the norm, he can be very relieved to hand them over to Bai Chuan or Lin Bing, both of whom are veterans of military and political affairs.

In this way, Zichuan Xiu can free his hands, put his hands in his trouser pockets and ride around on a big white horse very leisurely, and he can even sit in place for a long time like now.

Then, he ordered the heralds around him to call two demon generals, they were Lu Di and Ross.

After marching from humans to the Demon Kingdom, perhaps the person in the best mood of the entire expeditionary force will belong to Emperor Lu. Looking at his smug face, no one could tell that this was a man who had betrayed his country and his tribe, and that he had conquered all nations as a great victor.

Zichuan Xiu glanced at Emperor Lu: "Did you pick up the money today?"

Lu Di was stunned: "My lord, in this wasteland, how can there be money to choose?"

"Why else are you smiling so happily?"

"I'm smiling so happily?" Lu Di touched his grinning mouth, and hurriedly said: "Your Highness, I am ecstatic for your victory......!

"Less!" Zi Chuanxiu pierced him sharply: "I'm afraid you think the Demon God Emperor Throne is beckoning to you, right?"

Lu Di lowered his head aggrievedly: "How could I have that kind of thought?

As soon as the wind changed, he said tentatively: "But I am the first general to follow your Protoss, and I have served you for so many years, and I have worked hard without merit, right? In the future, when the war is over, I can't bear to let our loyal Protoss soldiers who follow you have no whereabouts, right? This will make everyone feel cold!"

"You're here to take the position of the Demon God Emperor? Zichuan Xiu cut off all hope for Lu Di in one bite.

"Why, sir?"

"Strength! You only have less than 20,000 Senean soldiers who have surrendered to our army, and now the major tribes of the God Clan have nearly 100,000 troops, relying on these 20,000 prisoners of war alone, you can't sit in the position of the Demon God Emperor. And as you have experienced, the people of the Protoss will not welcome a rebel who surrenders to humanity to become their own emperor. ”

"But Gotha Khan ......"

"Gota Khan is only cooperating with us, not capitulating. Moreover, he has a heavy army, and his strength is much stronger than yours!"

Lu Di pleaded: "But my lord, you can't just abandon me like this! I may not be enough to rely on myself, but with your support behind me, it will be enough! As long as you can put me on the throne, I will obey the orders of my family in the future!"

"The Zichuan family doesn't mind supporting a puppet, but the premise is that he deserves our support! If this person himself lacks the strength to maintain domestic order, and he has to rely on the family's bayonet behind him to sit on the throne, then there is no point in supporting him. The family doesn't like a puppet who is always causing us trouble. ”

Zi Chuanxiu replied crisply, leaving no room for anything, and Lu Di was like a leaf beaten by frost, and he suddenly lost his vitality.

During the conversation between Zichuan Xiu and Lu Di, Rose had been listening from the side, his face was calm and silent.

Zi Chuanxiu turned to him: "Sir, what I said to Emperor Lu is the same for you. Relying on the remnants of the Tatar clan, the position of the Demon God Emperor was too reluctant. ”

Rose stood up from his seat and bowed his head respectfully: "My lord, at the critical juncture of the extermination of the clan, it was you and Lord Shirakawa who rescued us, and our clan is grateful for your kindness, and our clan obeys your drive. The Tatars have no illusions about the golden bits, and you don't have to worry about this for us. ”

After suffering the catastrophe of extermination, living a life under the fence in the Far East, the former high-flying and domineering Ross seemed to have changed as if he had become a different person, and he had become calm and mature, and it could even be said that he was cautious. does not have extravagant hopes beyond reality, and Zichuan Xiu admires Rose's attitude towards understanding affairs now.

He comforted: "Sir, for the future of the Tatar clan, the Zichuan family has made arrangements. As far as I know, your former territory was taken away from the Seneans, and now it has been taken from the Seneans by the Mongols and the Akun. I will say hello to them, hoping that Yagomi and Mon Khan will give me face, and if things go well, you can move back to your original territory. ”

Hearing Shikawa Xiu's words, Rose immediately stood up from his chair and knelt straight down towards Shikawa Xiu. He knows too well the weight of Zichuan Xiu's promise, Zichuan Xiu, who has 300,000 jīng soldiers in his hands, the weight of his greeting is very heavy, and the person who dares not to give him face may not have been born in the kingdom yet. Having the opportunity to regain the territory, Rose trembled with excitement, and said in a trembling voice while kowtowing: "Thank you, Your Highness, the entire Tartar clan is your loyal dog, and I am willing to go to the soup for you!"

Zi Chuanxiu helped him up: "Sir, you don't have to be like this. In this arrangement, I also have selfish intentions: although I can't arrange you to be the emperor of the kingdom, as long as you and Lu Di are united, you can control the future of the kingdom. I will appoint the two of you as the permanent commissioners of the Zichuan family in the kingdom to monitor the movements of the kingdom, and you will report directly to me. ”

Lu Di asked, "Your Highness, that commissioner, what is that for?"

While Zichuan Xiu was still thinking about how to explain, Rose replied first: "Lu Di, that position is similar to the previous Senea tribe's garrison or military supervisor in the army. ”

Shikawa Xiu smiled: "Exactly. "It is worthy of a person who has the experience of a great patriarch, and that sensitive sense of smell is beyond the reach of a simple army general like Lu Di.

Rose looked at Zichuan Xiu gratefully, tears in his eyes. He understood that he would become a sharp sword hanging over the head of the Demon God Castle by the Zichuan family, responsible for monitoring the movements of the various ethnic forces in the Demon Clan. This is a beautiful difference with huge power, and even the future Demon God Emperor has to look at their faces! Thinking that not long ago, he was a down-and-out exiled tribal leader, and in the blink of an eye, fate gave him such a generous gift, and he was so grateful to Zi Chuan Xiu that he simply worshiped Zi Chuan Xiu as a great demon god!

But there was a Lu Di next to him who didn't know what to do: "What level of official is the commissioner? How much is the salary? Is there a public holiday? Is the work hard? Lord Ross, we can't be deceived by this cunning guy, if he doesn't pay his salary first, we will resolutely not do it!"

Rose wanted to kick Rudi to death.

At this time, Zichuan Xiucai remembered the purpose of looking for them: "Emperor Lu, don't make any noise! Let me ask you, how much do you know about the holy land of the Mongolian people?"

Rose was surprised: "Your Highness, what are you asking for?"

Zi Chuanxiu raised his eyebrows: "What, this is a taboo? Or is it a custom and taboo within the Protoss, it's inconvenient to say?"

"We have nothing to hide in front of you, my lord. It's just the holy land of the Mongolian people, and we don't know much about it. Because the Mongols regard their holy land as their lifeblood, they keep it very secret. Foreigners only know that there is a place where zài, but where it is, no one knows. I heard that the Mongolian people have rules that all foreigners who strayed into the holy land will be killed, and they attach great importance to this place. ”

Rudy kept nodding his head, agreeing with Ross's statement.

"Your Highness, are you interested in the holy land of the Mongolian people?"

"I heard that the Mongolian holy land contains terrifying power, and those who get this power can conquer the mainland?"

The first release of the Biqu Pavilion www.biquge.info Chinese network, more chapters, welcome to the Bi Qu Pavilion www.biquge.info support the author Rose smiled: "Your Highness, there is indeed such a legend." But there are a lot of strange legends of the Protoss, and last week there were people who said that the Demon God Emperor Carter was resurrected and appeared on Kashan, and many people believed that they had traveled all the way to worship there. We have heard the legend of the Mongolian holy land for a long time, and it has been passed down for hundreds of years, and only the Mongolian people in the entire kingdom take it seriously. ”

"Why?"

"Your Highness, do you think that if the Holy Land really had the invincible power of the world, the Mongols would have been hegemonic a long time ago, so why bother to stay on the Xijia Mountain and suffer for hundreds of years? ”

"It makes sense, there is no reason why the Mongolian people have hidden such good things and have not used them. Zichuan Xiu nodded thoughtfully and muttered, "That dead old man, take some rags to cover me, I almost believed it!

Lu Di asked, "My lord, are you interested in the holy land of the Mongolian people?"

"Someone mentioned it to me...... So I asked casually, and I guess I was a little interested. ”

"My lord, if you want to seize the holy land of the Mongols, I see a fight with the Mongols. If you don't kill a few of those crazy people, they won't give it up. ”

Ross immediately said: "Then kill them all! My lord, the Protoss has always worshiped the strong and despised the weak and powerless rulers, and killing people and exterminating the clan is the best way to establish power! The road to the East is a bloody journey, since ancient times, which strong man who conquered the kingdom is not full of blood? How can he achieve great things without killing 10,000 people? Let's start with the Mongols, and let the corpses of millions of Mongol people become the cornerstone of your immortal achievements! My lord, if you attack the Mongols, our troops and horses are willing to drive you forward!"

Rose's words made Zi Chuanxiu feel creepy, and what made him even more terrifying was that Lu Di actually kept nodding his head beside him, looking like he was agreeing with him, and shouted: "My lord, I am also willing to take my men and horses to take the holy land for you!

Zi Chuanxiu remembered that the Mongols took advantage of the fire to rob and killed a lot of them when the Tatars were defeated and retreated. There was a deep blood feud between the Mongols and the Tatars, and Rus hated the Mongols more than the Seneans, and now he was going to declare a personal vendetta! Is it appropriate to put such a man in the position of monitoring the kingdom? He is like a package full of explosives, and he can blow up the whole kingdom to the sky in one click.

Later, Zi Chuan Xiu laughed at himself and thought: What Senea, Mongolian, Tatar, Goang, Yakun, and Thunder tribes -- God knows if these barbarians are about to form a tribe with three people -- let them all be finished! Isn't this exactly what the Zichuan family wants?

sent Meng Khan away, and Zichuan Xiu was not idle. For then came an old acquaintance who visited him—an old acquaintance does not necessarily mean an old friend—and he was the chief of the second (third?) tribe of the kingdom, the chief of the Goang tribe.

Zichuan Xiu was not surprised by Gota Khan's visit, because the expeditionary force had arrived in the Sorimian steppe, advancing along the Sona River, and was about to enter the territory of the Goang tribe, no matter how calm Gota Khan was, he was also trembling when he saw that hundreds of thousands of human troops were about to enter his territory.

Fortunately, he and Zichuan Xiu had a relationship with Bataan, and the rebellion of the Goang and Yakun tribes created conditions for the decisive battle between humans and the Demon God Emperor, and that meeting was finally a happy cooperation. Now, relying on the fate of the original side, Gota Khan came to the camp of the expeditionary force to inquire about the news of Zichuan Xiu.

I haven't seen him for half a year, and Gota Khan is still so handsome. Among the middle-aged people Zichuan Xiu saw, only Lin Rui of the Lin family could compare with this beautiful man. Different from Meng Khan's face that looks like a deceitful person, Gota Khan presents people with the image of a middle-aged beautiful man who is gentle and knowledgeable, calm and introverted without losing his affection and kindness, his eyes are both strict and gentle, and there is a charm inside, which makes people involuntarily want to get close.

As soon as they met, the demon chief made a gesture to Zi Chuanxiu: "I haven't seen you for a long time, I'm very happy to see that Your Royal Highness the King of Light is as strong as ever." ”

Zichuan Xiu also returned the salute: "Sir, you are also a jīng god!Sir, we haven't seen each other for almost half a year, right?"

"Exactly. Gotha Khan smiled and said, "My lord, although it is a little late, I would like to congratulate you on defeating the Demon God Emperor in Bataan." Destroying 400,000 Sennese runners in a single battle, such a record is unprecedented! Even we have sweated for Your Highness, if you are defeated, then we will definitely be the next to be cleaned up. ”

"Sir, since you understand this, then you are embarrassed to watch us fight Carter to the death without help?"

Gotha Khan smiled embarrassedly: "Your Highness, we really wanted to help you at that time, but you also know that no matter how perverse Carter is, after all, he is also the co-master of the Protoss, and we can't cross that hurdle psychologically if we join forces with humans to attack him." And, the biggest reason—" Gotha Khan whispered, "We dare not make enemies of His Majesty." ”

"Don't dare?"

"I really don't dare. His Majesty is invincible, he is invincible. Your Highness, I'm not afraid of your jokes, we're afraid of him, we're afraid of him like fire, decades of accumulation, it's not a joke. Far away from him, we dare to use some crooked brains, but once we face the golden lion flag, we can't resist his majesty. Even me, let alone the soldiers, I am afraid that taking them to Bataan will be bad. ”

Zi Chuanxiu admired Gota Khan's frank attitude, and he smiled and asked, "Sir, why are you here this time? We are also old acquaintances, and we can say something directly." ”

"Your Highness is really refreshing, then I'll just say it. I know that Your Highness, you are leading a large army and are about to go to fight against the remnants of Senea, and I wish you a victorious start and a triumphant return!"

"Lord Meng, you have a good word, thank you. ”

"But there is one thing that worries me very much, according to your highness's route of advance, it seems that your army is going to pass through the territory of my Goang clan?"

Zichuan Xiu said smoothly: "We do have this plan, to reach the Demon God Castle, the territory of the Goang clan must pass through. I've caused you trouble, and I'm going to have to trouble you, sir, to help us a lot. ”

Gotha Khan frowned: "My lord, you have made such a self-assertion that makes us feel very embarrassed. Although the Goang people are small, we also have dignity. Although there are not as many soldiers and horses as your lords, our tribal army is also ready for battle. In order to defend our homeland, we will not hesitate to fight to the death. ”

Zichuan Xiu really admires Gotha Khan. When it comes to the words of "fighting to the death", ordinary people are already so nervous that they raise their eyebrows and are tense, but the head of the Goang clan can talk with a smile without the slightest anger, and this kind of demeanor can only be done with a strong internal control.

"Sir, I can guarantee that our army has no hostility towards the Goang clan, you don't have to worry at all, I will strictly restrain my subordinates, unless it is attacked, our army will not attack the Goang army and civilians casually. ”

"Your Highness, even though you have said so, I am still very worried. Hundreds of thousands of troops crossed the border, and it was impossible to completely eliminate any crimes. In any case, this is a war, and we Goang will definitely suffer losses from it. ”

"Loss, sir, you seem to have forgotten, in the demon clan's war of aggression against the human race, our Zichuan family has probably suffered a hundredfold or a thousand times the loss of your Goang clan. ”

"But that war was provoked by the Seneans, and we Goang were forced to ......"

"But the Goang army also participated in the invasion and destruction of the Zichuan family, didn't it? Moreover, in the Battle of the Southeast, the Battle of Dìdū, and the Battle of the Northwest, the army of the Goang tribe was still very active!"

Zi Chuan Xiu looked at Gotha Khan with a fierce gaze, and the latter looked back at Zi Chuan Xiu with a smile and a calm attitude. Although they didn't say it explicitly, the two of them had already revealed their intentions in the open and in the dark. Both of them knew that the Zichuan family had poured hundreds of thousands of troops to attack the Senea tribe, and it was bound to win, and the territory of the Goang clan was the only place to pass through the Demon God Castle, and with the strength of the Goang clan, they were powerless to stop the human army from advancing. Whether they want to or not, it is an irresistible fact that humans will enter the territory of the Goang people.

Now, Gota Khan wants to take this opportunity to knock on some benefits from Zichuan Xiu: "You cross my territory, how much will you give us some tolls?"

And Zi Chuanxiu didn't let Gota Khan make a price at all and closed the door tightly: "Tolls? No way! I still want to collect debts from you! If you don't know each other, then let's settle the new account and the old account together, don't toast or drink and drink fine!"

The two stared at each other for a while, after all, they were still stronger than people, and Gotha Khan was discouraged first, and asked loudly: "My lord, can you really guarantee that your troops will not commit any crimes against our clan when they cross the border?"

Zichuan Xiu was not too harsh: "I will do my best to restrain them, I am afraid that the private crimes of individual soldiers cannot be avoided, but there will be no deliberate mass killings." Of course, you also need your cooperation, and it is best that your people do not make moves that irritate our soldiers, and everyone can get along well. ”

"I'll do my best. The Goang have always been moderate tribes, and we don't like fighting. ”

The first release of the Biqu Pavilion www.biquge.info Chinese network, more chapters, welcome to the Bi Qu Pavilion www.biquge.info support the author "But, sir, are you satisfied?" Zi Chuanxiu suddenly changed his words: "In this great era of change, are you willing to succumb to the position of a local chief? Is the ambition of the Goang clan just like that? Before the battle of Bataan, I said a word to you, do you remember?"

Gotha Khan said calmly: "Your Highness, I have always kept your teachings in mind. ”

"At that time, the Demon God Emperor's power was still very strong, and you may still have doubts, sir. But now, sir, you should believe that we have the ability to fulfill our promises, right?sir, the Zichuan family intends to support you to sit on the throne of the kingdom, what do you think?"

Suddenly hearing the shocking words, Gota Khan's reaction was only to raise his eyebrows: "Your Highness the King of Light, I am not a saint. The Protoss has lost its co-master, and I believe that there are many people who want the golden throne at this time. I am confident that my talent is no worse than anyone else's, and in terms of identity, I am also from a royal family, so I have this qualification. I would be grateful if the Zichuan family were going to help me ascend to the supreme throne, but what I am more concerned about is, how do you want to help me ascend the throne?

"In what way, sir, you don't have to cāo heart. We can always find a way. "Each other is smart people, and Zichuan Xiu doesn't go around in circles: "The Zichuan family has full control of the Demon Kingdom, and this is what we want in return." ”

"In other words, you want me to be a puppet emperor?"

"Not exactly a puppet emperor, you still have some power. For those small tribes, you still have a lot of power, you can send condolence groups, speak at the tribal joint conference, receive gifts from various tribes every year, or something......"

"Speaking of which, it's still a puppet emperor?"

Shikawa Xiu smiled and didn't speak. At this time, silence is the most polite answer.

"What if I refuse?"

"Sir, you can refuse. However, there are still many people who want to compete for this position. His Excellency Mon Khan has just left me. If he becomes emperor......"

Zi Chuanxiu suddenly changed the subject: "I heard that the relationship between the Mongolian and Goang tribes is not very good, I don't know if it's true?"

Gotha Khan said lightly: "In the God Clan, there is no tribe that has a good relationship with the Mongolian Clan. ”

"Then, according to your estimation of Meng Khan, is he a great politician with an open mind and no regard for his previous suspicions? When he ascends to the supreme throne, will he write off all his previous suspicions and accommodate you with a broad mind?"

"Mon Khan is not that kind of person, he will repay his eyes. You don't have to say any more, King of Light, I understand what you mean, but what I don't understand is why you would rather choose me than Mon Khan?"

"Mon Khan's ambition is too great, and he is double-stabbed. No one wants to choose such an ally. On the contrary, the lord is gentle and does not have much ambition, and the family thinks that it is a better choice for you to maintain order in the kingdom. ”

Gotha Khan listened silently, but Zichuan Xiu keenly noticed it, and his face swept over him.

Then he stood up, lifted the curtain of the tent, and walked out. Following him, Shikawa Xiu also came out.

The night was solemn, and the stars numbered by the legions shone brightly above the high canopy. The two of them stood on a high slope, looking at the endless human army camp under the mountain, and the campfires in the sky were dotted with stars, spreading to the end of their eyes.

Looking at the military formation under the high slope, Gota Khan said calmly: "A powerful enemy has invaded the kingdom, destroyed cities and destroyed towns, killed people like hemp, ambushed corpses for thousands of miles, and no matter how brutal the killing, we have also seen it, and nothing can frighten us." But now, even the Emperor of the kingdom has become a puppet appointed at will by you - we have not been insulted like this since the history of the kingdom!"

He turned his head to look at Zi Chuanxiu, his eyes flashing with water: "King of Light, we are not the barbarians you imagined, we are a country with a long history and civilization, and the history recorded in the 'Divine Codex' is even older than the history of the Bright Empire. In ancient times, three hundred and fifty-six royal warriors opened up their territory in the barren land of the extreme east, overcame unimaginable hardships and sufferings, conquered this barbarian land, and established the kingdom of the Protoss that continues to this day! With hundreds of royal families ruling nearly 10 million low-level Protoss, with a vast land, brave warriors and a brilliant civilization, we are greater than you can imagine!"

Zi Chuan Xiu listened quietly, and in order to show respect, he lowered his head, but his tone was firm: "The kingdom has fallen to the point where it is today, and it is not our fault that it is not us. You should reflect on the countless encroachments and injuries that the kingdom has infringed upon and harmed the human world over the past thousand years, and your latest aggression has caused great harm to our country! You are completely to blame for the fate you have ended up in! Sir, don't say that you seem to be very innocent!"

"I know. Gotha Khan sighed and said, "Your Highness, from the perspective of mankind, you can say that we are to blame. But in the eyes of the Protoss, for more than 3,000 years, we have been oppressed by the barbarians, and the monsters continue to encroach on our living land, in order to survive, the people of the Protoss must fight endlessly, we live in the Infernal Hell, and the only way out is to kill a bloody road. And this way out can only be obtained on the Xichuan continent, which is currently occupied by humans.

His Majesty's lone bet failed, and he was martyred. Ling Buxu, Peima, Yerma, Leo, Caton, Karan, most of the kingdom's famous generals withered, and the heroes drifted away with the wind, and they died as they deserved. But for those who are alive, we have an obligation to bring the suffering Protoss out of the brink of collapse, no matter what humiliation and hardship we face. King of Light, I am willing to cooperate with the Zichuan family, please give me the supreme position!"

Looking at Gota Khan, watching the tears in the eyes of this handsome man flow down his cheeks, Zi Chuanxiu began to waver: "Sir, your Protoss Supreme Consciousness is too strong, I regret it a little." ”

"Are you worried that after I become emperor, I will break away from the Zichuan family?"

"Yes. ”

"Your Highness, it is a very boring thing to punish the heart. It doesn't matter what I want to do; As Your Highness said, I am a moderate person, I have a clear understanding of my own strength, and at present, the most important thing for the Protoss is to recuperate. Therefore, during my term of office as emperor, the Zichuan family can rest assured that I will not challenge your authority without taking my own strength, and I will be a puppet emperor who satisfies the Zichuan family and has a good appearance. ”

"Sir, may I ask, since you also know that this emperor is a puppet, why are you still willing to be it?"

Gotha Khan smiled bitterly: "King of Light, you may think that I, like Meng Khan, am also for power, hope and ambition, but you are wrong. I am a lord in my own right, and power or glory is enough for me. As a duke of the kingdom and cooperating with the invaders, I will leave a legacy of infamy. But for the sake of the future of the kingdom, I must sit in this seat. ”

Zichuan Xiu smiled: Gota Khan said it in a high-sounding manner, as if he had no choice but to agree to sit on this throne, but how much of it was sincere, and how much of it was involuntary cover-up and politeness, I am afraid only he himself knows.

"Sir, if you come to be the emperor, then when the kingdom recovers, won't we have to fight again?"

Gotha Khan smiled, with a cunning in his smile: "After this great defeat, it will take a long time for the kingdom to recover its vitality and restore its pre-war population. The Protoss is going to be strong enough to stand up to humanity - at least, in my lifetime, I don't have that hope. Your Highness, you are much younger than I am, but I estimate that the chances of you seeing that day are not very great. Your Highness, no matter how wise a monarch is, can not guarantee the immortality of the dynasty behind him, and there is no way to be sure that his orders will be obeyed all the time. For the sake of the world after death, we don't seem to have to do this, right? ”

Zichuan Xiu also smiled, and he stretched out his hand to Goda Khan: "Happy cooperation, sir?" Oh, I should call you Your Majesty." ”

Gota Khan was stunned for a moment, and then, a smile gradually bloomed on his face: "For a while, I really couldn't get used to this title. ”

"It's okay, Your Majesty, you have decades to get used to. ”

On February 25, the expeditionary force arrived at the demon border city of Gram. The city is the domain of the Goang tribe. In order to guard against the expeditionary force, the Goang have deployed the main force of their tribal army of nearly 60,000 Goang infantry in the city. But now that Gota Khan and Zichuan Xiu have reached an agreement, in accordance with Gota Khan's orders, the Goang defenders opened the gates of the city and let the human army enter the city to rest.

In the evening, Gota Khan held a banquet to welcome the generals of the expeditionary force in the original town guard mansion, and senior officers such as Zi Chuanxiu, Wen He, Lin Bing, Fang Yun, and Wu Bin attended the banquet.
