To the north of Dali, Yunyan City.

In the Rong camp.

At this time, more than 20 days have passed since the death of the old emperor, and with the news from all sides, the Rong army has no longer hold back the fighting spirit in their hearts.

The old glass emperor died, the internal chaos of the big glass, the surrounding royal court rose together, at this time not to attack the big glass, do you have to wait for the big glass to slow down, continue to raise the snort?

in the main ledger.

Uher, the king of Wuhuan, sat on the throne with a happy face, and next to him, Huge, the high priest of the Wuhuan royal court, held a letter and groaned on his face.

"High Priest, now that Dali is surrounded by enemies in all directions, it is a good time for us to attack!"

Uherr said excitedly.

He had been waiting for this day for a long time.

He had been waiting since the last failed attack on Cloud Smoke City.

Waiting for the chaos inside Dali, waiting for the old Li Emperor to die, and waiting for the royal courts around Dali to attack it.

Huge frowned, and said, "The king is right, now is the best time for us to attack, but~"

"But what?" Uherr asked.

Huge shook his head slightly, and said a little helplessly: "But the power of Dali in front of us in Yunyan City is too strong, and it is difficult for us to win." ”

Uher was stunned for a moment, and then his face turned dull.

Huge was right, the power of Dali in Yunyan City was too strong, and it was difficult for them to break through Dali's defense.

Now Dali has 100,000 forbidden troops in Yunyan City, 200,000 border troops, and 100,000 Tianying troops in Beiyuan City, a total of 400,000 troops, and in addition to these, the defenders of Qinzhou Town have gathered 100,000 troops three hundred miles south of Yunyan City, and the northern border army has 200,000 troops stationed in the two border cities around Yunyan City.

This means that once they attack, they will face an army of 600,000.

During this time, although Uher had established his own prestige in the camp and completely subdued the other three royal courts, the army under his command was only 400,000.

The enemy is strong and I am weak!

Thinking of this, Uher's fiery heart was instantly poured with a basin of cold water.

"Are we going to miss out on this opportunity?" Uherr said with a bit of a dullness.

Huge shook his head, "The opportunity is right now, how can we miss it!" ”

Uher's eyes lit up, "Does the High Priest have a good plan?" ”

Huge showed a confident look and said, "Since Yunyan City can't attack, then we'll attack somewhere else." ”

"Our Rong tribe has hundreds of thousands of cavalry, and they can travel hundreds of miles overnight."

As he spoke, he stood up, walked to the map next to him, pointed to a city on the map, and said, "Geumsan Castle!" ”

"Geumsan Castle!" Uher looked at Geumsan Castle on the map, and his face was delighted.

Jinshan City, like Yunyan City, is a border city in the north of Dali, but Yunyan City is in the north of Qinzhou, and Jinshan City is located in the northeast of Beizhou, and the two cities are separated by 3,000 miles.

It's 3,000 miles away, but if you ride a horse, it only takes about 10 days to get there.

The Rong soldiers were all natural cavalrymen, they grew up on horseback, and they had a large number of horses, which could do three horses at a time.

In addition, the northern grasslands are vast, and they are most suitable for horseback riding.

They could have arrived in Jinshan City from Yunyan City in ten days.

In contrast, it was absolutely impossible for the Dali Northern Border Army to support Geumsan Castle in such a short period of time.

"Dispatch 100,000 elite soldiers, gallop 3,000 miles, and attack Jinshan City directly, as long as you can break through Jinshan City, you can enter Dali Beizhou, and go south from Beizhou to herd horses for thousands of miles, and you can go straight to Kyoto."

Huge said with a faint smile on his face.

"Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful! The high priest had a brilliant plan. ”

Uhher was overjoyed.

But he still said: "With our strength, we can't attack Dali Kyoto. ”

Huge said with a smile: "Our goal is naturally not Dali Kyoto, but to mobilize the border army of Yunyan City!" ”

"100,000 Rong cavalry threatens Dali Kyoto, the border army of Yunyan City will definitely draw troops to support, and then we will go west and attack the border city of Liangzhou!"

He pointed to a border city on the map on the northern edge of Liangzhou.

Uher's eyes grew brighter and brighter.

"The High Priest is really scheming!"

He couldn't help but praise it vigorously.

……

Western regions.

Worship the Court of Fire.

Among the army camps that stretched for dozens of miles.

More than a dozen generals from the Western Regions gathered in the main tent.

Sitting on the throne was Royard, the great general of the Fire Worship Court, who was also the commander of the million-strong coalition army.

It is not an easy task to gather an army of millions, especially since these armies come from the countries of the Western Regions.

The Western Regions region has countless mountains and mountains, and the desert plateau is undulating one after another, and the difficulty of its march can be imagined.

In order to gather this million army, the Fire Worship Court and the countries of the Western Regions have spent a lot of money and time.

By now, the armies of various countries have entered the camp and have undergone half a month of repair.

Luo Yade sat on the main seat, looking at the generals in the tent, his expression was very solemn.

An army of millions!

Sounds powerful.

But Luo Yade knew in his heart that the countries of the Western Regions were inherently full of contradictions, and it was definitely very difficult to bring them together.

In order to avoid conflicts between the countries, Royad spent a lot of thought on arranging the camp.

And when it comes to formulating offensive opportunities, Royard has a headache.

There is no way, some royal courts have a deep feud with each other, if these vengeful royal court armies are brought together, maybe they haven't fought with Dali yet, and they will fight first.

"Senior Mu, did the South Curtain City agree to our proposal?"

Luo Yade's gaze fell on Mu Yanxin next to him.

Although Nanmak Castle is at the southern end of Dali, it is also bordered by their Fire Worship Palace, and if they attack Dali and Nanmak Castle intervenes, it is likely to affect their attack plan.

In order to prevent the South Curtain City from causing trouble, they want to bring the South Curtain City over.

Mu Yanxin shook his head slightly and said, "Not yet." ”

"Lu Shiwan hasn't shown up for more than ten years, and now South Curtain City is dominated by Lu Baifeng, the young city lord, but Lu Baifeng is still hesitating."

Lu 100,000 is the city lord of Nanmu City, compared to Situ Changkong of Beiyuan City, Lu 100,000 is a real shopkeeper, since he became the city lord of Nanmu City, he handed over the affairs of Nanmu City to the elders of the Lu family, and later the elders of the Lu family were old, Lu 100,000 directly let Lu Baifeng, who was only thirteen years old, be in charge of the affairs of Nanmu City.

Royard said in a deep voice: "Tell them that ten days is the last chance." ”

Although the strength of Nanmak City is not weak, it has not yet reached the point where it makes Royad jealous.

If Nanmu City doesn't know each other, then he doesn't mind taking Nanmu City first.

Mu Yanxin nodded, he still very much hoped that Nanmu City could join their alliance, but since Luo Yade said so, he couldn't refute Luo Yade.

Although he is the high priest of the Fire Worship Court, his identity as an outsider can never be taken off.

In the court of the Fire Worship King, Royad was higher than him in terms of status and prestige.

……

South Curtain City.

Under the bright sunshine, the gorgeous flowers are full of life.

Now it is the wax moon, and the snow is falling in the north of Dali, but the south curtain city is still full of spring.

Sitting in the flower pavilion, Lu Baifeng's face was gloomy.

"Young City Lord!"

Ji Qian came from a distance and bowed.

"Have you found your father?"

"Nope!"

Ji Qian said in a low voice.

Lu Baifeng let out a long sigh.

His father is really unreliable, except for when he was a child, Lu Shiwan often accompanied him, and after more than ten years, he rarely met Lu Shiwan.

Sometimes, even if he wanted to see Lu 100,000, it was difficult to find Lu 100,000's trace.

"What about the others?" Lu Baifeng asked.

Ji Qian said: "The army of the Heili Royal Court is rushing to make siege equipment, and it may attack the city in the next few days. The Flame Worship Court has given us a deadline to make a decision within ten days. ”

At this time, the 200,000 troops of the Heili Royal Court were a hundred miles south of Nanmu City, and the Fire Worship Royal Court was also forcing them to submit.

"What do you mean by a few clan elders?" Lu Baifeng asked.

"The clan elder means that the young city lord will make the decision!" Ji Qian said.

"They don't mean anything else?" Lu Baifeng raised his eyebrows, a little surprised.

Ji Qian pondered for a moment and said, "For the Heili Royal Court, they want to fight to the death, but for the Fire Worship Royal Court!" ”

He didn't say the latter words, but Lu Baifeng understood what he meant.

The enmity between the Heili Royal Court and Nanmu City can be traced back to a hundred years ago, and there is no chance of reconciliation between the two sides, and it is impossible for the Lu family to cooperate with the Heili Royal Court, but they do not have much hatred for the Fire Worship Royal Court.

Lu Baifeng thought for a while and said, "What are the actions on the court's side?" ”

"The court has mobilized the forbidden army to come to support, and other than that, there is no action!"

"It's just that the forbidden army has been dispatched!" Lu Baifeng's brows furrowed.

He didn't doubt the combat effectiveness of the forbidden army, but far water can't quench the thirst of the near, from Kyoto to Yuanzhou, there are 5,000 miles, the army marches slowly, and it is absolutely impossible for the forbidden army to reach Yuanzhou without three months.

"Well, that's the news so far!"

"What is the little emperor thinking!" Lu Baifeng's brows furrowed even deeper.

With his understanding of Qin Wei, he naturally didn't think that Qin Wei would ignore the situation in the southwest.

It stands to reason that the best way at this time is to dispatch the defenders of each state town nearby, unite the southern border army and the southern shogunate city, and defend against foreign enemies together.

But now Qin Wei only dispatched the forbidden army, and had no intention of dispatching the defenders of the various states at all. It was hard for him to understand.

"Where's Nanyang City!" He asked again.

"Nothing happens!" Ji Qian shook his head.

"Damn!" Lu Baifeng couldn't help but burst into a foul mouth.

He can't understand the situation in the southwest of Dali now.

The armies of the three major royal courts of Nanban are close at hand, but the court has only mobilized the forbidden army, and there is no movement on the side of Nanyang City!

Don't they know about the barbarian armies?

"Send a message to Lan Yuehou and ask him what his idea is!" Lu Baifeng said angrily.

Kyoto is too far away to ask for a while, but Nanyang City is only a thousand miles away from Nanmu City, he must figure out Lan Yuehou's attitude, if Lan Yuehou wants to pick a son, then he doesn't mind joining the coalition of the Fire Worship Court.

……

Inside Nanyang City.

Lan Yuehou didn't know Lu Baifeng's anger, at this time he was lying on the rocks on the bank of the Nanyuan River, holding a wine jug, looking at the surging river water, and drinking freely.

And on the opposite side of the Nanyuan River is the army camp of the Sanmiao Royal Court and the Yuwu Royal Court, ten miles of joint camp, and there is no end in sight.

Four beautiful maids were beside him, some were playing the harp, some were making tea, and some were boiling wine.

In the distance, there were four guards in black cloaks, sitting and standing, looking around warily.

And Lan Yuehou himself had a look of indifference, as if the barbarian army on the opposite side was just illusory, which made his heart not feel the slightest wave.

"Master Hou, Kyoto Messenger!"

Lao Suo stood next to Lan Yuehou and said.

"What?"

Lan Yuehou asked without raising her head.

"Your Majesty asked the Hou Ye to guard Nanyang City!" Lao Suo said.

When Lan Yuehou heard this, he smiled, "After this guy became the emperor, his mind seems to have become deeper!" ”

Lao Suo's eyes sank slightly, "He doesn't want Hou Ye to return to Beijing?" ”

"That's nature!"

"He has just ascended the throne, it is the time to stabilize the court, although now Dali is in danger, but he doesn't care about these, for him, these royal courts are more like chickens and dogs, there is no threat."

"In contrast, the Dongfang family behind Ben Hou is the existence he fears the most."

Lan Yuehou raised her head and poured a sip of wine and said lightly.

"Let's defend Nanyang City, does he want us to fight to the death with the barbarian army?" Lao Suo asked.

"It shouldn't be, we only have a few thousand Mingyue Army, and the soldiers in Nanyang City are all their Dali soldiers, even if they fight to the death, it is his soldiers who are lost."

"Ben Hou estimates that he wants to use some unscrupulous means to deal with the barbarian army."

Lan Yuehou smiled meaningfully.

"You go back to Kyoto now, tell him, just say that Benhou wants to go back to Beijing, and see how he reacts."

Lao Su was stunned for a moment, and then responded.

He understood that Lan Yuehou was testing Qin Wei's attitude, and wanted to see if Qin Wei really wanted to leave Lan Yuehou in Nanyang City.
