After a while, Mu Changtian and Qin Yushan in the study came back to their senses, and both of them were shocked by Lu Chen's ambition.

However, Qin Yushan quickly calmed down, after all, in his eyes, Lu Chen was the son of destiny, and one day he would unify the entire continent.

But Mu Changtian is different, although he once thought that Lu Chen's ambition was to unify the world, but he thought that the world did not include the northern land.

Even the barbarians don't know how big the area of the North Land is, and Lu Chen actually wants to put the North Land into his fiefdom.

If Lu Chen really did this, then the land area owned by Lu Chen would be larger than all the land in the entire Great Xia combined, except for the Northern County.

A vassal king owns more land than an emperor owns, so can he still be a vassal king?

Of course, this is not the key, the key is whether you can actually own the Northlands.

If you just draw a circle on the map, and then say that the northern land belongs to the king of the north, it will definitely not work.

Barbarians won't recognize your map.

Mu Changtian asked tentatively at this time: "Lord Wang, if you plan to make the northern land your fiefdom, how can you prevent the invasion of the barbarians?" ”

"Are you planning to build the Great Wall in the Northland?"

Lu Chen asked rhetorically, "Barbarians? What barbarians? ”

Hearing Lu Chen's rhetorical question, Mu Changtian suddenly felt that his mind couldn't turn.

There are several barbarian tribes in the north, and the king of the north is not unaware, and the royal court of the wolf king is also in the north, and the king of the north actually asks him what barbarian tribe?

Lu Chen continued at this time: "Wherever there are any barbarians, they are all the people of this king. ”

This......

Lu Chen glanced at the map of the Northland and continued: "No matter how gorgeous and strong the Great Wall is, it can't resist the enemies inside. ”

"The Great Wall that this king wants to build is not the Great Wall outside, but the Great Wall in the heart, the Great Wall in the hearts of the enemy, and this king will one day make the enemy think that the front is the fief of the king, and he will unconsciously retreat and dare not take a step."

Hearing Lu Chen's words, Mu Changtian and Qin Yushan were both stunned.

Lu Chen has a strong desire for the land of the Northland, not to mention that the Northland can be used as a livestock farm, raising horses, cattle and sheep for them in the Northland, such a large piece of land in the Northland must still have rich resources on it.

For example, coal, oil, various metal deposits.

None of these things may have been used or discovered yet, but the bigger the place, the more likely he has, and sooner or later he will be able to use these resources.

The point is that there are only barbarians in the Northland today, and the barbarians are not the masters of the Northland.

The Northlands are completely borderlands.

Even the Dayue Dynasty did not make the northern land their territory.

Lu Chen thought that the system had reminded him that as the number of children born increased, the rewards he could obtain in the future would become richer and richer.

Although there are many resources that cannot be explored and mined now, waiting for the system to provide him with more and more rewards, one day he will be able to obtain a way to mine those resources.

Anyway, in a word, the larger the territory, the more resources may be, and the land will be occupied first.

As for how to deal with the barbarians in the Northland, Lu Chen's idea was very simple.

Population is also a resource.

After a while, Mu Changtian came back to his senses from what Lu Chen had just said.

He immediately clenched his fists and said: "The prince is ambitious, the minister is willing to be the sword in the hand of the prince, the sword is pointed to, the soldier is forward, and the minister is willing to build a great wall for the prince that the enemy can never cross!" ”

Lu Chen coughed, and then said, "General Mu's loyalty has already been felt, let's get down to business." ”

Lu Chen immediately said to Qin Yushan: "Commander Qin, you lead the Jinyi Guard to continue to collect information about the Heavenly Wolf King's court, and you must always keep abreast of their movements. ”

Qin Yushan said, "Yes, Lord Wang." ”

Speaking of this, Lu Chen thought for a while, and then said: "Let's go see Xiao Pengtian first, it just so happens that this king has something to say to him." ”

Hearing this, Mu Changtian and Qin Yushan immediately led the way for Lu Chen, and soon the three of them came to the prison where the prisoners were held in Yancheng.

At this time, Xiao Pengtian sat on the ground with a bang, the whole person was listless, he had been sealed by Jinyiwei's medicine, and now he was like an ordinary person.

The prison room where Xiao Pengtian is located is relatively tidy, with a bed and a quilt, which is not at all dirty and messy like other cells.

After hearing the sound of the door opening, Xiao Pengtian noticed that someone was coming, so he looked up at the people outside the cell.

Seeing that the person who came was a young man wearing a brocade python dragon robe, and the belt was still white jade, Xiao Pengtian instantly guessed the identity of this person.

Xiao Pengtian smiled bitterly and said: "It is said that the North King is a yellow-mouthed child, lustful and incompetent, and a person who is afraid of death, but I didn't expect that in the end, it was this yellow-mouthed child who led tens of thousands of soldiers in the North County to destroy the 300,000 army of our Heavenly Wolf King." ”

Lu Chen said: "In front of this king, say that this king is a yellow-mouthed child, aren't you afraid that this king will kill you?" ”

Xiao Pengtian said with a nonchalant face: "What's the difference between me now and death?" ”

Xiao Pengtian thought that his skills had been abolished, he was now a wasted person, and the 300,000 troops of the Heavenly Wolf King Department had been wiped out by the Northern King, and he now had no face to return to the Heavenly Wolf King tribe.

Xiao Pengtian continued to ask: "I don't know if the King of the North came to see me in such a dirty place because he wanted to ask something from my mouth?" ”

Lu Chen smiled faintly, and then said, "This king may know more about your Heavenly Wolf King tribe than you, what do you think this king needs to ask from your mouth?" ”

Hearing Lu Chen's words, a figure of a person instantly appeared in Xiao Pengtian's mind.

At first, he didn't think so, thinking that Wu Yuan was just secretly hiding money, but now he basically understands what is going on.

The erroneous information they had collected about the Northern King was basically from Wu Yuan and their caravan, which led to a serious miscalculation of the Northern Commandery.

If they knew that there were about 50,000 heavy cavalry in Beijun, they would never dare to come to Yancheng so directly, even if they didn't have that kind of mysterious weapon that could explode, these 50,000 heavy cavalry would be enough to go head-to-head with their 300,000 army.

In this case, even if they defeated the North County, their Heavenly Wolf King tribe would suffer heavy losses, although they wanted the land of the North County, they would never make such a big sacrifice for a piece of land.

Xiao Pengtian laughed and said, "Could it be that the North King came to see my miserable situation, so be happy?" ”

Lu Chen said: "This king does not have such a hobby. ”

"This king is here to make a deal with you."

Xiao Pengtian frowned.

"Deal? What is the deal? ”

Lu Chen asked directly, "Do you want to be the Heavenly Wolf King?" ”

Hearing Lu Chen's question, Xiao Pengtian seemed to understand something, and then he sneered and said, "The Northern King thinks that I will betray the Heavenly Wolf King tribe in order to survive?" Amusing! As a warrior of the barbarians, he can only die standing up, not live on his knees! ”

Lu Chen was not surprised that Xiao Pengtian would have such an answer, he said lightly: "It is indeed easier to want to die, but have you ever thought that if you die, what will happen to the 100,000 barbarian captives, and what will happen to your wives and children in the Heavenly Wolf King Tribe?" ”

"If the Heavenly Wolf King Tribe does not have these 100,000 barbarian men, I'm afraid there will only be some old, weak, sick and disabled left, and in ten years, it is difficult to say whether the Heavenly Wolf King Tribe will still exist."

Hearing this, Xiao Pengtian's brain trembled.

At this time, familiar figures instantly appeared in his mind.

If he and the 100,000 barbarian captives were dead, there would really be no men left in the Sirius King tribe.

Don't look at the fact that they have gathered an army of 300,000 barbarians, it seems to be a lot, but in fact, except for the soldiers of the King of Beixian, their Heavenly Wolf King tribe has called almost all the barbarian men who can fight, and only then have they gathered an army of 300,000.

In the eyes of the people of the Heavenly Wolf King tribe, if they take the northern county, according to the princess's concept, their tribe will no longer have to live in pursuit of water and grass in the future, they will have endless food, and they will no longer be afraid of starvation and cold.

So almost all of them are particularly positive about going south.

Originally, I thought that with those families and the Eight Princes of Great Xia to contain the imperial court, it would be an easy thing for them to take Beijun, but I didn't expect the result to be like this.

And without men, the Heavenly Wolf King Tribe will probably have an even more difficult time this winter.

The Northlands are huge, and the Northlands don't just have a Celestial Wolf King tribe.

Without men, when winter comes, other tribes will inevitably sack the Sirius King tribe.

Especially the tribe of the King of Beixian.

King Beixian did not follow them south because of his age, and he is still alive.

The King of Beixian has always coveted Xiao Wenyao's beauty, and if he knew that the 300,000 army of the Heavenly Wolf King was gone, he would probably directly take the soldiers of the Beixian tribe to the Heavenly Wolf King's court.

Don't talk about Xiao Wenyao at that time, I'm afraid that even the princess will be captured by King Beixian.

If the Heavenly Wolf King Tribe didn't even have a princess, the Heavenly Wolf King Tribe would really be finished.

As soon as he thought of this, the expression on Xiao Pengtian's face kept changing, and Lu Chen could see that Xiao Pengtian was entangled and struggling in his heart.

After a while, Xiao Pengtian asked, "If I agree to cooperate with you, will you release those 100,000 barbarian soldiers?" ”

Lu Chen immediately said: "This is impossible. ”

Xiao Pengtian sneered and said, "Then what did the King of the North tell me to do with this, is it to make fun of me?" ”

Lu Chen continued: "This king really didn't plan to let those 100,000 captives go just like that, but this king can move the entire Heavenly Wolf King tribe to Beijun, and if any of these 100,000 captives behave well, Beiwang can allow them to reunite with their families. ”

Hearing this, Xiao Pengtian was stunned.

What is the biggest purpose of the Heavenly Wolf King tribe's attack on Beijun this time?

Isn't it just to occupy the land of North County.

In order to move to North County to settle down.

If what the North King said was true, if he really thought so, then even if he cooperated with the North King and became a traitor to the Heavenly Wolf King Tribe, Xiao Pengtian would not feel anything.

It's better than them being starved to death and frozen to death on the grassland and sacked by the King of Beixian.

Xiao Pengtian asked, "How can I tell if you didn't want to attract the Heavenly Wolf King tribe to Beijun, and then kill them all?" ”

"You Great Xia people seem to like to do the most is to cut the grass and eradicate the roots."

Lu Chen also guessed that Xiao Pengtian would have such worries, so he said directly: "Even if you don't agree to cooperate with us, this king can easily find the location of the Heavenly Wolf King's royal court, General Xiao should have heard about Wu Yuan, right?" ”

Hearing this, Xiao Pengtian's face turned dark, and he said coldly: "He is really your person!" If I had known, I should have chopped him with an axe! ”

Lu Chen said: "General Xiao doesn't think there is any point in saying this? ”

Xiao Pengtian fell silent and did not continue to speak.

Lu Chen saw that he had almost finished speaking, so he turned around and said: "General Xiao can think about it again, this king's time is still very sufficient, when you think about it clearly, let people tell this king, in addition, this king reminds General Xiao one more sentence, it's almost winter, and your tribe's time is running out." ”

As the words fell, Lu Chen turned around and left the cell.

……

Meanwhile.

Northland, the court of the Heavenly Wolf King.

The beautiful woman Yelu Nanyan was half-lying on the couch, the whole person looked very lazy, she sighed slightly and said: "Sure enough, even if there is a couch in the tent, it can't catch up with the comfort of the bed of the Daxia people." ”

"Alas, I don't know if the king has defeated Beijun."

At this moment, Xiao Wenyao lifted the curtain of the tent door, came in and said, "Princess, do you have any news about my father?" ”

Xiao Wenyao was already planning how to escape to Great Xia, as soon as Beijun was defeated, she would go to Great Xia immediately, and never return to Beidi from now on.

She is ready to endure hardships, even if she suffers in Great Xia, she is not willing to marry the bad old man of Beixian King who has never bathed all his life.

Yelu Nanyan replied, "There is no news yet, but it should be soon." ”

Yelu Nanyan remembered their deal with the Eighth Prince, in order to prevent the rebellion of the family in Great Xia, Emperor Xia should not send too many soldiers to the north, so that the 300,000 army led by the Heavenly Wolf King could easily defeat the entire Northern County.

At this moment, a man's voice suddenly came from outside the tent.

"Princess, something is wrong!!

When the words fell, Wu Yuan, who was wearing a cloak, entered the tent, knelt on the ground, and cried loudly: "Princess, the sky has fallen!! ”

Seeing Wu Yuan's appearance, Yelu Nanyan suddenly had a bad premonition, her willow eyebrows furrowed slightly, and she hurriedly asked, "Wu Yuan, what happened?" ”

Wu Yuan burst into tears and reported in a crying voice: "Our caravan originally planned to go to Yancheng to receive the spoils of the king, but we heard that the 300,000 army led by the king had been defeated by the king of the north, and the king was killed under the city of Yancheng, 200,000 soldiers were killed, and 100,000 soldiers had been captured by the king of the north!! ”

Hearing Wu Yuan's report, Yelu Nanyan and Xiao Wenyao suffered a huge impact, and their faces turned pale without a trace of blood.

Yelu Nanyan fell on the couch, his jade hands trembled uncontrollably, and he muttered to himself, "What...... How could it be ......"
