"Be quiet!"

Bei Mingyuan sat on the throne, listening to the discussions of the ministers, he couldn't help but get upset, Zhang Sheng and Bei Minghuan were his right-hand men, now that both of them have died in battle, the Tianji Empire is no longer the strongest empire on the Tianji Continent at the beginning, and the rivers are declining, but it has faintly become the weakest one.

"Let's discuss it, what should the empire do now?" Bei Ying Yuan looked at everyone coldly, and said: "The Heavenly Absolute Empire is menacing, the Yanji Corps on the eastern border has been defeated, and the old general Zhang Sheng has been loyal and martyred all his life and sacrificed his life for the country, who is willing to lead the troops to meet the enemy of the Heavenly Absolute Empire next?"

The ministers were silent, and a group of generals looked at the ground, who would dare to fight the Tianjue Empire now? You must know that the Tianji Empire claims to have 1.5 million soldiers, plus 400 dragon knights, who can be the enemy? The most important thing is that the Tianji Empire launched an expedition against the Shattered Ding Realm, which has already consumed a lot of national strength, not to mention 400,000 horses killed in battle, and most of the money and grain in the treasury have also been consumed.

After a while, a veteran finally arched his hand and said: "Your Majesty, Lord Midnight led nearly 50,000 troops to garrison Ling Yuan County, and at this moment, he should have already started a war with the Heavenly Absolute Empire, with the ability of Lord Midnight Radiant Angel, I am afraid that it will not be so easy for the Heavenly Absolute Empire to capture Ling Yuan County, not to mention ...... Chen Yu'er will definitely be jealous of the identity of the Angel Hui, after all, it is not a simple matter to be an enemy of the Heavenly Realm. ”

Midnight ......

Bei Mingyuan sneered: "King Lan Ji, don't forget, Midnight is the Angel of Radiance, the god of the Western Heavenly Realm, and the entire Heavenly Extreme Continent is in the bag of the Western Heavenly Realm, do you think Lord Midnight will be the enemy of the stronger Heavenly Absolute Empire in order to help us?"

King Lan Ji was stunned: "What does Your Majesty mean...... Midnight-sama will not help anyone?"

"That's right. ”

Bei Shenyuan said lightly: "Lord Midnight's mission to come to the human realm is to help the Heavenly Pole Continent destroy the Shattered Ding Realm, do you think he will participate in the war within the Heavenly Pole Continent?" I think...... Lord Midnight's position must be to make peace and attack the Shattered Ding Realm together, but this is absolutely impossible, Chen Yu's ambition to be a wolf and destroy me is already very obvious. ”

King Lan Ji said: "Your Majesty, if this is the case, Wei Chen suggested sending someone to the Blackstone Empire, and now only by joining forces with the Blackstone Empire can we fight against the powerful Heavenly Absolute Empire." ”

"That's what I mean!"

Bei Ying Yuan held the handle of the saber in his hand and said, "It's just...... I don't know who would be better to send to the Blackstone Empire?"

"I want to go. King Lan Ji said in a deep voice.

"Okay, quasi-play, let's go today!"

Saying that, Bei Mingyuan paused again: "There is another big thing, now there are still Lanji Corps, Yanji Corps and local provincial garrisons in the empire, a total of nearly 700,000 horses, who will be in charge? If we don't resist, I'm afraid Chen Yu'er will be able to sweep the entire territory of my empire within a month." ”

King Lan Ji hugged his fists and said: "If Weichen recommends one person, he will be able to take on a great responsibility." ”

Say. ”

"Gong Shangming!"

"Gong Shangming?" Bei Mingyuan squinted: "But in the battle of the Shattered Ding Realm, Gong Shangming's strategy was not above Lin Muyu, Feng Jixing and others, it was his improper command that caused the army to fail, and finally fell short, do you still want me to continue to reuse this person?"

King Lan Ji smiled slightly: "Your Majesty doesn't know, although Gong Shangming is well versed in strategy, but in the battle of the Broken Ding Realm, he was controlled by Midnight, Marshal Bei Minghuan and others, he does not have complete decision-making power, so he will be defeated, not to mention that the Broken Ding Realm has been fighting for many years, Lin Muyu, Feng Jixing, Xu Jiantao and others are all famous generals, all thieves and thieves, Gong Shangming is invincible to these people, but he may not be defeated by those generals of the Tianjue Empire, Your Majesty, don't forget, the Tianjue Empire is the same as us, it has not been any war for many years, and the heart is impetuous, and Gong Shangming's defeat in the Broken Ding Realm is his capital, shame and courage, if His Majesty appoints Gong Shangming as a Confucian general as a marshal, the Tianjue Empire will inevitably despise us, in this way, the victory of the Tianji Empire will naturally appear. ”

Bei Ying Yuan couldn't help but laugh knowingly: "What King Lan Ji said is extremely ...... Come on, hurry up and recall Gong Shangming!"

......

On November 10, heavy snow, Gong Shangming paid homage to the general in Tianji City and officially became the new marshal of the Tianji Empire.

On November 11th, the army of the Heavenly Absolute Empire encountered Midnight in Lingyuan County, just as the Northern Abyss expected, Midnight maintained neutrality and did not make enemies with either side, but instead advised Chen Yu to stop the army and make peace, but Chen Yu refused.

On November 15, Prince Lan Ji led his troops to Qianshan City, the capital of the Blackstone Empire, and was personally received by Emperor Shi Yuan.

......

Above the main hall, the drums are ringing in unison, although the Blackstone Empire has gone through wars, but the imperial capital Qianshan City is still a scene of singing and dancing, which is probably Shi Yuan's policy of governing the country.

Life must be happy, don't make the gold bottle empty to the moon!

Even, King Lan Ji couldn't feel that the Blackstone Empire was going through a war, and couldn't help frowning, feeling that this ally seemed to be very unreliable.

As an envoy, King Lan Ji was arranged on a seat very close to Shi Yuan, accompanied by two beautiful women, and it was a beautiful woman wearing an elegant long skirt, and her figure was very soft, but King Lan Ji's mind was all on the covenant, where would he care about these beauties, not to mention that as a prince, he had never lacked women.

"His Majesty's body in the Northern Abyss has been fine lately?" Shi Yuan asked with a smile squinting his eyes.

King Lan Ji hurriedly raised his glass: "Everything is fine, thank you Your Majesty for your concern." ”

"That's good. ”

Shi Yuan drank it all and said: "The Heavenly Absolute Empire is menacing, I have heard the bad news that General Zhang Sheng died in battle, I would rather die than surrender, I am really a famous general!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your compliment. ”

Shi Yuan continued: "Chen Yu's wolf ambition is divided into two ways, one way is to attack the Tianji Empire from the Forest of Return, a total of about one million troops, and the other way is to confront the army of my Blackstone Empire on Jinyun Pass, about 500,000 troops, there are 500,000 strong enemies eyeing outside the pass, my Blackstone Empire can not be guarded, therefore, almost all of my country's 200,000 strong wind legions and newly trained 200,000 patriotic troops are deployed in the area of Jinyun Pass. There is no time for the clone to take care of the war on the territory of the Tianji Empire. ”

King Lan Ji frowned and said, "Your Majesty, you should also know that once the Tianji Empire is destroyed, the next one must be the Blackstone Empire, and Chen Yu's purpose is to unify the entire continent, not just a mere Tianji Empire." ”

"Of course I know. Shi Yuan sighed and said, "But there are no soldiers in the country, so King Lan Ji should have seen it on the way here, right?" Qianshan City is the capital of the country, but the number of troops is less than 10,000, at this time, I am even more worried that Chen Yu'er will send an iron cavalry south to go straight to Qianshan City, and I am afraid that my lair will not ......be guaranteed."

Shi Yuan laughed.

King Lan Ji had a kind of desire to die, he really didn't know that the people in the Black Stone Empire were crazy or bold, so he had to laugh dryly, and said: "Your Majesty is wise and martial, and you will definitely not be attacked by Chen Yu'er going south, I am very relieved of this, but ...... Since your country has decided to form an alliance with our country, can't you really send any troops?"

"I really can't. ”

Shi Yuan shook his head: "I am really powerless...... However, I do have a way, maybe I can solve the danger of the Tianji Empire. ”

"Oh, please speak up, Your Majesty!"

"Does His Royal Highness King Lan Ji know about the Bai Ze Mercenary Group?"

"This ...... It is said that the head of this mercenary group is a concubine named Liu Buyi, who has nearly 100,000 mercenaries in Xiuping, and is well-equipped, comparable to the regular corps of any empire on the mainland. ”

Shi Yuan smiled faintly: "Actually, it's not 100,000 people, it's 180,000 people!"

"What?"

King Lan Ji was shocked: "Can a mere mercenary group have 180,000 people......? They don't have taxes or other income, how can they feed these 180,000 people?"

"Your Highness doesn't know, this Bai Ze mercenary has already occupied my 7 county towns!" Shi Yuan slapped the table and said, "If it weren't for the distraction and weakness, I would definitely take the lead and destroy them!"

King Lan Ji was embarrassed: "So...... Your Majesty, what is the meaning of you mentioning this Bai Ze mercenary to me?"

Shi Yuan smiled: "His Royal Highness King Lan Ji doesn't know that the person behind this Bai Ze mercenary is really not Liu Buyi, Liu Buyi's scheming, city government, and strength are far from being able to create such a powerful mercenary group. ”

"Who's that?"

"Sikong Yao!"

"What?" King Lan Ji sat up straight in shock: "This ...... How is this possible, isn't Sikong Yao the granddaughter of the Sikong Ming Sect Master......? How could she be the true master of Bai Ze's mercenaries?"

But that's just the way it is. Shi Yuan said: "I have already pointed out the road to His Highness, if His Highness can invite Bai Ze mercenaries to participate in the war, these 180,000 elites will go directly north and attack the enemy army in the north and south with the main force of your country, even if Chen Yu has a million army, he will be defeated, and Sikong Yao is from your country, she has a friend named Shang Qian, this Shang Qian's external justice is the old general Zhang Sheng who died in battle, if Lan Ji Wang Yushu invites Miss Shang Qian to go to the station of Bai Ze mercenaries to personally invite Sikong Yao to help in the war, a big event can be expected!"

King Lan Ji's mind was a little disordered.

"Does Your Highness have to wait any longer?" Shi Yuan laughed: "Come on, give His Royal Highness King Lan Ji a customs clearance token, so that he can travel freely within the territory of the Blackstone Empire." ”

King Lan Ji finally couldn't sit still, stood up and said: "Without further ado, saving soldiers is like fighting fire, Xiao Wang retired first, thank you for your Majesty's advice!"

"That'...... I will not send it to His Highness. ”

"Retire!"

......

King Lan Ji left the table with the servants.

After seeing King Lan Ji go away, an old civil official immediately laughed and said, "Your Majesty is wise and martial, not only will King Lan Ji be sent away, if he can really invite Sikong Yao, then we can kill two birds with one stone, the plague god Bai Ze mercenary, then it will be really good!"

The corners of Shi Yuan's mouth raised: "Let's wait to reap the benefits." ”
