"General Mu told me all the secrets, isn't it in the way?" asked Su Yi.

All the questions that should be asked, and the doubts were answered, so he came to ask this question, which seemed to be a bit cheap and obedient.

"Not to mention whether these things are classified or not," said Mulanhe, "let me ask you a question. Are you from the Great Song Dynasty?"

"Yes, definitely. ”

"Are you loyal to the Great Song Dynasty?"

Su Yi hesitated for a moment, but still replied, "Loyalty." ”

The Great Song Kingdom is the place where he was born, and there are people he cares about. Although he was hunted down and experienced injustice, he also encountered people and things that made him angry. But none of these are reasons to make him "unfaithful".

There is nothing wrong with this land.

"In that case, why not tell you something so-called confidential? Perhaps, it will also help you see the situation more clearly, so as not to make wrong judgments. ”

Su Yi knew the meaning of his words, so he asked, "What does General Mu mean about the Snow Tiger Clan?"

Regarding the matter of Yang Zhuo and his gang, it is interesting enough for Mu Lan not to step on it, but it is impossible to hide it for him.

"Like Lan Xin, I don't have much prejudice against the demon clan. But demons are demons after all, and their positions are different, so it is better to be careful when contacting them. ”

"Could it be that General Mu believes in me so much, and is not afraid that I will lie to you?"

"The fact that you were able to recover the box in good condition for me is enough to say something. More importantly, Lanxin believes in you. And I, I believe in Lan Xin. That girl's eyes are quite accurate, at least more accurate than mine. ”

Su Yi was stunned, he didn't expect Mu Lanxin to have such trust in him. Moreover, recovering the box turned out to be an unintentional move. But in any case, the conclusion that you can trust is the same, so you don't have to care about those details.

"The attitude of the people of the Great Song Dynasty towards the demon clan is closely related to the fact that the Son of Heaven ordered the sealing of the demon, but it is not the whole truth. Mu Lanhe continued, "Do you want to hear it?"

"Can this also be said?" Su Yi said in surprise.

"What I say, of course, is what I can say. ”

Then I'll listen to it. ”

Mu Lanhe cleared his throat and sorted out his thoughts before he spoke: "This matter has to start with the war between our Great Song Kingdom and the countries of the Western Regions. Thirty years ago, conflicts broke out frequently between the West and the northwest border, and friction became more and more intense, and the lives of border residents were even more troubled and unstable. At that time, the Son of Heaven was in the prime of life, with iron-blooded pride, and waved his army to the west, and he was bound to defeat the countries of the Western Regions so that he did not dare to attack. ”

"It started off well, with a lot of success. If you continue to fight according to that momentum, don't say that you don't dare to attack, and it may not be impossible to wipe out the Western Regions. ”

Speaking of this, Mu Lanhe shows the iron-blooded nature of the man on the battlefield, although he exaggerates his ambition countless times, but it also reflects his recognition and pride in the achievements of the Great Song Dynasty Emperor's westward expedition.

Then he continued: "In just three years, eleven countries were destroyed, and countless lands of many great countries were conquered. But just when the Son of Heaven was about to continue advancing, the tide of the battle was inexplicably reversed, and he suffered several defeats one after another. The vanguard who took the lead was originally the most elite Hundred Tribulation Battalion in the Western Army, and they were all iron cavalry who were good at charging into battle. However, he suffered heavy casualties in several battles, and was no match for a group of poor men who retreated back to their hometowns. The defeated Hundred Tribulation Battalion brought back news that many unknown masters had suddenly appeared in the enemy's formation, all of whom could be used as one for ten, and their bravery was unmatched..."

"It's a demon from the Western Regions..."Su Yi said.

"That's right, it's the demons of the Western Regions. This sudden change caught the Son of Heaven off guard, and it was even more difficult to understand why the demons of the Western Regions would unite with humans. But no matter how hard you can't believe it, it's already happening. The Western Army encountered the same situation in various battlefields in the Western Regions, demons appeared on a large scale, and the elite of the Great Song Kingdom was unable to defeat them, and there were many casualties. ”

"No matter how the countries of the Western Regions do it, the soldiers will block the water and cover the earth, and they will have to find a way to deal with it. The Western Regions have demon cultivators participating in the war, and the Great Song Kingdom also has powerful immortal cultivators who can compete with it. The Son of Heaven strategized, adjusting the strategy of attacking the enemy on the one hand, and contacting the demon clan of the Great Song Kingdom in the northern mountains on the other, planning to return a tooth for a tooth. ”

"But it backfired... At that time, the demon clan of the northern mountains still had a lot of territory in the territory of the Great Song Kingdom, and they ruled separately with humans without interfering with each other, which could be regarded as harmony. But just after the news of the defeat and retreat of the Western Army came back, the demon king of the northern mountains was full of ambitions, trying in vain to seize the opportunity to seize the territory and take the entire northern territory for himself. ”

"In this way, the Great Song Kingdom is the enemy on the back of the belly. The Son of Heaven immediately made a decision, gave up the land he had just captured not long ago, and retreated without leaving a piece. He also transformed half of the Western Army into the Zhenxi Army to prevent the combined forces of humans and demons in the Western Regions. The other half of the elite and the northern defenders merged into the Northern Expeditionary Army, forming a combined encirclement to exterminate the demons in the north, and driving the tribe led by the demon king back to the northern mountains with the power of wind and thunder. ”

Since then, the Northern Expeditionary Army has started a tug-of-war with the demons of the northern mountains on the border for more than ten years, advancing and retreating, winning and losing each other. It was also at that time that protracted controversy began in the court. There were differences between the main battle and the main peace, and the two factions also had a prototype at that time. However, it is said that there is a war and peace, but in fact, they all advocate attack. It's just that the Lord and the faction hope to use the border as a boundary and expel the demon clan back to the northern mountains to end the war. And the main battle faction insisted on killing everything, attacking the depths of the mountain, and taking the head of the demon king. Even the later moderate crown prince did not put forward the third proposition. ”

It wasn't until the demons in the north gradually couldn't support it and were expelled back to the mountains that the prince proposed a demon sealing order, advocating the elimination of demons in the Great Song Kingdom, but not stepping into the northern mountains to avoid excessive consumption. Such a compromise method can be regarded as barely gaining the affirmation of both factions. A war that lasted for more than a decade came to an end. The people in the north only knew that the Northern Expeditionary Army was fighting every day, and they were fighting with the northern countries, but they didn't expect that they were fighting against a group of fierce beasts. ”

After hearing this, Su Yi couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "If the Great Song Kingdom can unite with the demons of the northern mountains like the countries of the Western Regions, what kind of terrifying strength will it have." ”

Mu Lanhe shook his head and smiled bitterly: "If that's the case, I'm afraid the world will become miserable." ”

"That's just as well. Su Yi nodded and said thoughtfully.

"So, you think that the demon sealing order back then was just the beginning, but in fact it is an end, a symbol that symbolizes the end of the war. Since then, all the actions of sealing demons have just been cleaning up the mess. ”

"Of course, the discussion of the issue of demons participating in the war will never stop..."
