Chapter 121 The Imperial City Sees the Driver

Dragon City, the imperial capital

This place, Hu Wei is not the first time to come, and I believe it will not be the last. After nearly a month of living in the car, the convoy finally arrived at the military and political center of the Mandala Empire.

Hu Wei didn't know how other people felt, he only knew that every time he came to the imperial capital, he always felt that he was a little closer to the imperial capital. Yes, almost every time Hu Wei went to the imperial capital, his military rank would be higher than before, and he would be closer to the goal he wanted.

When this convoy carrying important personnel of all levels of the five major legions entered the imperial capital, it did not cause too much sensation. The people of the imperial capital didn't even look at this gorgeous convoy, maybe compared to the people in other places, they had seen too much, and there was no sense of novelty.

There are some things that the people who live in the Imperial City may not necessarily have seen more than people from other places. But this kind of gorgeous carriage, they are a little tired of seeing it, this kind of carriage, it appears in the streets every day, this time it is just a little more than usual, there is nothing to be excited about. Besides, if you can't even eat your stomach, who cares about those.

Drought, floods, insect plagues, and military disasters have been turned over this year, and thousands of acres of fertile land have not been harvested, and even the people of the imperial capital, who have always been relatively wealthy, have also been affected. Hungry is no longer a ridiculous joke.

The convoy entered the city like a passerby, without disturbing the tranquility here, not even a trace of dust. To Hu Wei's surprise, the convoy did not stop at the outer city as he looked like, but drove directly into the inner city, which was the real center of the empire, the water palace that Hu Wei called the Blood Palace in his heart.

After the convoy entered the inner city, it began to disperse, and the route seemed to have been set down a long time ago, and it was clear which people were going and where, and there was no chaos at all.

From the beginning of entering the inner city, the person who drove Hu Wei was not Zhu Daneng. Because Zhu Daneng was not on the list of envoys, they were not qualified to come in, so they were all left outside the city, and the people driving were just men and horses of the Royal Cavalry Regiment wearing white uniforms.

Hu Wei was also assigned a room, located in the palace, but it should belong to the kind of place in the corner. Because he had stayed here for three or four days, he had never seen anyone other than the one who delivered the food, and he had never seen the generals at all levels who had come with him.

Hu was so worried that he thought about running around to see what the prince looked like, how many wives the old emperor had, and so on. However, as soon as he walked out of the door, he was told that this was an important place in the palace, and he could not take half a step out of the door without an order, let alone move around at will.

Hu Wei didn't have any way except to curse in his heart. The guards here look quite fierce, and if they don't get it right, they dare to beat people.

"What kind of palace is this for his grandmother, Lao Tzu is in prison. ”

Hu Wei learned about his situation, and it also proved that he was worried on the road. It seems that the Valencian Emperor is really playing tricks this time.

"But you're going to play with those big heads, play Sumendal, what are you doing with me. Can I, a governor, be in your eyes?"

Hu Wei was indignant, but what can be done about this, being idle is also idle, Hu Wei is simply in the house, practicing or something. Anyway, it's already like this, let's honestly stay and see what drama will happen in the future.

Five or six days have passed, and such days really make Hu Wei a little unbearable. This ghost place, although the food is not bad, and the accommodation is quite comfortable, but there is not even a companion here, which really makes him stuffy. It was the first time that he had grown so old and felt that the palace was not a place for people to live. Of course, this was the first time he had the opportunity to live in the palace.

"Hu Wei, get ready, later, Your Majesty will summon you. These were the soldiers' words, and from these words, Hu Wei heard something that the soldiers themselves were not aware of.

Summoning you, you and you, those are two different meanings. Hu Wei's first reaction when he heard this sentence was that he was not alone in a situation like him. The other reaction is that Valencia should have completed his plan, and as for what this plan is, Hu Wei does not know yet. Without sources, even if it is an immortal, it is difficult to make a judgment out of thin air.

"Okay. Hu Wei ran a few steps and secretly stuffed a few gold coins into the soldier. Money can be channeled, and many things that you think are impossible to do, as long as you find the right way to pay tribute, it is not too difficult to do.

There is nothing good, the military sees the upper class, and wearing a military uniform is the best choice. When Hu Wei returned to the house, he lay on the bed and waited, the soldier said that it would be later, that is, he would not go immediately, he could have fallen asleep and waited for the soldier to call him.

About a little more than an hour later, Hu Wei walked out of the house with the soldiers who came to pick him up. It was the first time he had seen anything outside the house in so many days.

The palace is worthy of being called a royal palace, with towering trees, green grass, carved corridors and columns, and a beautiful artificial lake, and the water is so pure that you think of yourself drowning in it.

followed the soldiers around, and finally the soldiers took Hu Wei into a large hall and turned around and went out.

"Hu Wei, you're here too. A voice sounded behind Hu You, Hu Wei turned around happily and shouted excitedly, "Sister Yu." ”

"Well, I haven't seen you for a few days, are you okay?" asked Ximen Yufeng, twitching his head.

"I'm okay, Sister Yu, what's going on?" asked Hu Wei. He had to figure out what kind of situation was going on.

Ximen Yufeng shook her head and didn't answer Hu Wei's words, and after a while, she sighed and said, "The empire's 500,000 troops launched a second attack on Anrong three days ago, led by the new imperial marshal and the supreme commander of the Royal Cavalry Regiment, Movras. ”

"500,000" Hu Wei's eyes widened, he understood, he understood. No wonder on this road, he walked like a snail crawling, and then he was detained in the imperial palace, and he was not allowed to contact anyone, and it turned out to be this trick. Among the people who were recruited back to the imperial capital this time, including Ximen Yufeng, Renata of the Wolf Legion, Zilavi of the Blizzard Legion and other important senior generals of the legion, it was not so difficult to hold them in their hands, and in the name of the emperor, they asked the legionnaires to fight Anrong.

"Yes, half a million. Ximen Yufeng said: "In addition to the necessary defenders, Valencia has evacuated almost all the main forces of the legions except the Royal Cavalry Regiment this time. ”

"It seems that this time Anrong people are going to finish playing. Hu Wei said. A place in Anrong is not even an empire, how can it resist the attack of 500,000 horses. Hu Wei is now very optimistic about the situation of Anrong people.

Ximen Yufeng shook his head and said: "There are no absolutes in everything, and I am not optimistic about this military operation." “

After all, Ximen Yufeng received the news one step earlier than Hu Wei, and she had already made a relatively more detailed analysis of this battle.

Hu Wei asked, "Are you worried about the problems of grain, grass and logistics?"

Hu Wei has always paid the most attention to these two issues, and with the current national strength of the empire, these two aspects are definitely the most important key to victory. The empire had to spend a staggering amount of money just to feed and drink 500,000 horses.

Ximen Yufeng glanced at Hu Wei appreciatively, but shook his head again and said: "You said that these two points are indeed the weakest link in the current empire. But that's not what I'm worried about. ”

A flash of inspiration flashed in Hu Wei's mind and said, "What you're worried about is Lin Gui." ”

Ximen Yufeng nodded and said, "Yes, Lin Guiren could send troops last time, and this time, he can also send troops." In contrast, Lin Gui is much closer to An Rong than we are. They can show our movements and make a response before our troops enter Qingzhou. ”

Hu Wei thought for a while and said, "What you said is good. But how can you be sure that the Lin Gui Empire will definitely send troops to help An Rong. Are their soldiers not human beings, who can die for other countries in vain? ”

Ximen Yufeng said: "The Guilin Empire is not stupid, of course they can't do that kind of stupid thing. They will do it for one purpose. ”

"What purpose?" asked Hu You.

At this time, many generals had already come to bring them to the main hall, but Hu Wei didn't have the heart to pay attention to them. Ximen Yufeng seemed to mean the same thing, and they said as they walked, and they had already walked under the side wall of the main hall.

Ximen Yufeng didn't answer Hu Wei's question, she looked at the portrait on the hall slowly and said, "Let's think about how to deal with Anrong people this time." Let me ask you, if you were the commander of Anrong and now face the attack of 500,000 imperial troops, what are you going to do. ”

Ximen Yufeng: This is obviously teaching Hu Wei things. In the past few days, Ximen Yufeng has been with Hongbao. They made a lot of decisions that they didn't know about yet.

Hu Wei thought for a while, and said with a solemn expression: "I can't think of how much strength the Anrong people still have to deal with the attack of the empire's 500,000 troops after just experiencing a big war. You must know that the entire population of Anrong is only more than 2 million, and they can't transfer so many troops with Ben. ”

Ximen Yufeng encouraged: "Go on." ”

Hu Wei started his way, seemed to grasp the inspiration, and continued: "The price of seconding troops from other countries to protect themselves is very high. If there is not enough interest, no matter who it is, will not wade into this troubled water. I can't think of what kind of bargaining chips they can give with the lack of material resources. To "

"Not true. Hu Wei suddenly stopped, and asked Ximen Yufeng thoughtlessly, "Have you already thought about it?" ”

Hu Wei didn't explain what it was, but Ximen Yufeng nodded with satisfaction: "I just thought of it, and there is no proof of the drama yet, this qiē will be born." ”

Hu Wei was silent for a while, and then said: "It seems that Anrong people have the only way to do this this time. The Lin Gui Empire is not a good bird either, and it is impossible for them not to open their mouths at this time.

Let Anrong become Lin Gui's vassal state, although in terms of law and law, they bow their heads, but after all, they can keep their wealth and a certain status. What's the matter, it's better than dying in the country. ”

"His Majesty the Emperor has arrived," a half-male and non-female voice temporarily interrupted the discussion between Hu Wei and Ximen Yufeng.

Hu Wei turned his head and glanced at the hall, he was thinking about things just now, and he didn't know when, the hall was already full of people. Almost all the people who were named this time have already arrived. He could see Zilawi and Renata in the crowd. It seems that they have not been mistreated at all, and they are quite in good spirits.

Ximen Yufeng pulled Hu Wei and said, "Valencia is coming out, we will talk about this later." ”

As soon as Hu Wei stood in his class, Valencia appeared in front of everyone with the support of eight palace maids.

"See Majesty. All the people in the hall, led by an old eunuch, knelt down on one knee and shouted loudly.

Valencia swept her gaze over the crowd before saying, "Excuse me, get up." ”

"Xie Majesty. Everyone replied with a formula again, and then they stood up, pleasing to the eyes, and looked like they were worried. Don't worry if you're afraid of Valencia or not, this set must be done.

Hu Wei has long known that there is an emperor in this world, and there is more than one, but this is the first time he has really seen the emperor.

When Hu Wei was sitting in Valencia, he secretly glanced at Valencia. Now he is different from what he imagined, he is not handsome and chic, and he can't see any domineering, strictly speaking, he is just an old man who is dressed more complicated. Just this lord, put on the street, Hu Wei definitely can't recognize what kind of emperor he is.

"Everyone, you are all the talented and good generals of my Mandala Empire, and you have worked hard for you in this battle against Anrong. Valencia began.

There is no frame like Hu Wei imagined, and the tone is sincere, but Hu Wei doesn't like to listen to it. Because of this Valencia, it is insincere with Ben. This battle has to be like that, no matter how hard it is, it doesn't necessarily have to be hard.

No one dared to interrupt Valencia, and everyone waited quietly for him to continue. Valencia paused for a few seconds, then said, "Ximen Yufeng." ”

Ximen Yufeng took a step: "The end will be." ”

"You did a good job this time, I decided to make you a duke, and a bounty of five thousand coins and a thousand miles of horses,"

Valencia clicked on the names one by one, and Hu Wei noticed that the old emperor could easily call out everyone's name without reading the text, and say what kind of work they had done in those places.

Hu Wei originally thought that this was just a formality, and asked the eunuch to read him according to the text that had been prepared a long time ago, and it was almost the same. I didn't expect Valencia to be so serious and memorize all the information.

Thinking of this, Hu Wei's mind couldn't help but have a sentence - don't look at anyone.

Yes, the rat also wants his strengths, and everyone, has his own abilities. If Valencia can be the emperor of the empire, you can see that he is not a fuel-efficient lamp. Not to mention that he was still dead before.

The main hall reaches nearly 1,000 square meters, and the special design can make the voice of Valencia echo in the main hall. Although more than 20 meters apart, the voice sounded like two people talking face to face.

Hu Wei listened quietly, he was now very interested in hearing what Valencia would give him in a while.

"Hu Wei" Valencia finally read Hu Wei's name.

"The end will be. Hu Wei strode forward, his official position is relatively comparative, and he has to go a long way forward.

"You're just Huwei?" asked Valencia. It seems that he seems to have some interest in Hu Wei.

"The last general is worried. Hu Wei replied with a stern face. It's not a joke to be in the mood for this kind of occasion. Valencia may dare to kill the five army commanders, but it is still easy and pleasant to kill him, the overseer.

Valencia recalled: "Well, I heard about you a year ago. Immortal bird, yes, yes, you are still very young, you can only serve the empire well, and the empire will not treat you badly. ”

Hu Wei really didn't expect that Valencia, the dignified emperor, would be able to remember him. He secretly wondered in his heart if Valencia had deliberately checked his own information before he came out, otherwise how could he have noticed his character.

Hu Wei is not such a person who is easily moved, but at this time, his face is trembling with excitement, as if he is very grateful to Valencia for remembering him. Of course, this is all made by Hu Wei. Jianghu people don't sell laughs, but they used to sell faces, he learned this from the master, and it was very easy for him to change his face. The emperor of Valencia made a show, and he didn't cooperate with some of his own actions.

Valencia was very pleased with Hu's reaction. In the past few years, due to the continuous growth of legions in various places, the power of the royal family has fallen, and the ability to control various events has become worse and worse. He hadn't seen it in a long time, and someone would be so excited to see him.

"Hu Wei, in the thirty-eighth year of the empire, he enlisted in the Qingzhou Blizzard Legion. On the first day of enlistment, he was exceptionally promoted to captain, and not long after, he was promoted to captain, and the captain of the detachment" Valencia's mind came up with worrying information.

Hu Wei couldn't guess, Valencia did read Hu Wei's information carefully before coming up. Valencia knew very well that in order to regain the military power that had fallen by the side, he had to recruit a group of young generals with real talent and real learning.

"I heard that your archery skills are very good?" Valencia made no secret of her admiration for Hu Wei.

Hu was worried and secretly guessed Valencia's psychology, and said with a humble face: "Your Majesty has already talked about it, the archery technique of the last general is just acceptable." ”

"Hey. Valencia waved his hand and said: "You Huanglongdao battled, took the right eye of Tie Kra, the general of the Anrong Beast Legion, with one arrow, and then shot Chen Changli, the commander of the Eighteenth Group Army of the Lin Gui Empire alone, in Qingfeng Town, this kind of arrow method is not only acceptable, young man, don't be too modest." ”
