The young people went all the way south, and because of Yehua, everyone went to Yanjing again and met the dying King Yan in the palace.

The people on the road generally have a low evaluation of the Yan King, which is also a matter of no choice, and even the people of the country can't say what political achievements the king of his family has made during his reign, on the contrary, in his hands, the Yan country has a significant decline in national strength.

Just when he was about to enter the year of not being confused, the first king died, and the prince of the Tang Dynasty took advantage of the opportunity of his succession to the throne and the poor government decree of Yan State, and highlighted the strange soldiers who captured the Nanling Heavenly Danger and Shuanghulu Valley, which was regarded as a barrier by Yan State in one fell swoop.

In stark contrast to King Yan, the prince of the Tang Dynasty was a rare male lord in a hundred years. When Tang finally gained a foothold in the center of the continent, a land of four wars, and became one of the five great powers, he firmly controlled this territory in his own hands. For more than 100 years since then, except for the first 50 years, when it was attacked by the surrounding powers, it has always exercised restraint in warfare.

It was in this restraint that a generation of male lords of the Tang Kingdom appeared. Li Shiyi, when he was a child, showed an excellent talent for military affairs. At the age of fifteen, he traveled around the world, at the age of seventeen, he personally led his army to exterminate the water thieves on Fubo Lake, and at the age of nineteen, he dealt with the friction with the great powers. And his most glorious moment was when he was twenty-two years old, and since then, Yan Guo has no natural danger to defend on the side of Tang State, and the country is wide open.

Li Shiyi, the prince of the Tang Dynasty who captured the Shuanghulu Valley, relied on his outstanding military talent to gallop across the Yan Land, as if entering a no-man's land. At this time, thanks to Ye Youyi, the princess of Yan Kingdom, the appearance of this woman finally made the Tang prince put down his war knife, and also preserved the rights and interests of Yan Kingdom to the greatest extent.

The worst king meets the best hero, and this kind of encounter is also a tragedy for King Yan.

After making peace, the Tang Dynasty returned a large part of the territory of the Yan Kingdom, leaving only the gate of the Double Gourd Valley. Although the Tang State exempted the Yan State from a large amount of war reparations, it was regarded as a symbol of friendship between the two sides. However, a series of trade treaties were signed, although the trade between the Yan and Tang sides did abide by the principle of equivalent exchange, but later studies have shown that these trades actually became a castration of the Yan State by the Tang Dynasty.

One of the most representative trades is "thousands of horses and sheep". Every year, Datang buys at least 1,000 high-quality military horses and 10,000 sheep from Yan State.

At first glance, this seemed like a lucrative business, but it wasn't long before the Yan Kingdom found it difficult to organize such a powerful cavalry for this trade.

First of all, the production of high-quality military horses is not so easy, they need high-quality pasture, horse breed and many other conditions. And the supply of those sheep caused these sheep to occupy more pasture, sheep and horses had to eat grass, and after Yan Guo sold it to Datang, he really couldn't save so many military horses.

And when Yan Guo proposed the idea of modifying trade to Datang, it was strongly rejected by Datang. There is no way, who told them to sign the alliance under the city, and now the situation is stronger than people.

If it weren't for these reasons, the current King Yan and Prince Yan would of course prefer their own cavalry, so how could they go to great lengths to win over a large number of capable people.

In the second year after Li Shiyi married the princess of Yan Kingdom, the first king of the Tang Dynasty ceded the great throne to Li Shiyi, so that the power of the Tang Kingdom completed a smooth transition.

And what is jaw-dropping is that Tang Wang's talent has covered all aspects, especially the invention of shabu mutton, almost all of them have let this simple and delicious thing captive. After it was introduced to the people, the demand for mutton increased exponentially. So much so that sheep accounted for a large part of the people's trade between the two countries. Even the people of Yan themselves fell in love with this delicacy, and the country was full of sheep. The dream of the cavalry of a great country is getting farther and farther away from Yan Kingdom.

On the way to Yanjing, young people are talking about these past events. They didn't have any taboos because of Yehua's existence, because after so many years, these are almost things that everyone on the mainland knows, and there are no secrets at all. Yehua's discussion of these things is more active, from the deduction of the battle situation at the beginning to the impact of trade later.

Until they entered the palace, these young people were already arguing about the merits of the heavy armored iron cavalry of the Yan Kingdom and the wolf cavalry of the Snow Country.

Different from the mainland's perception of the swallow's nest, he is in very good spirits and state today.

"Oh, do you want to practice with Kunlun Shangxian?"

King Yan glanced at Yehua happily and said, "Well, this is also a good thing. Since you were a child, you have seen that you have the talent and perseverance to practice, but you always want to participate in political affairs, and you are not as good as your brother in this regard. Look. ”

King Yan said and handed a military report to Yehua.

"Your brother has taken another city, and slain countless enemies. Even the wolf cavalry, which Snow Country was proud of, did not dare to show its head. ”

Yehua glanced at the general's report to Yuan Jinling.

"Huh?"

Yuan Jinling was stunned for a moment, looked at King Yan and asked, "Is it okay?"

"Hahahaha. No problem, it's just a summary. What's more, the head of the house is the banner of righteousness in the future, the elder of the dog. All the important military affairs of my Yan Kingdom can be opened to you. ”

Yuan Jinling looked at the hearty old man in front of her, and seemed to see a different brilliance outside the rumors.

"Can I take a look?"

After Yuan Jinling finished reading it, Yuan Sheng suddenly asked.

"Of course you can, I am naturally relieved to be a senior disciple of the academy, you can see. Jiang Gongzi of Qi and Miss Feng of the Southern Wilderness can all watch it. In matters like the Demon Eradication Path, we should put aside our past prejudices and work together to deal with this thousand-year-old catastrophe. ”

Yan Wang was saying that Yuan Sheng had already finished reading the military report.

"King, there is a sentence that Xiaosheng doesn't know whether to say or not. ”

"Oh, Mr. Thirteen sees something, but it doesn't hurt. ”

For the well-known Mr. Thirteen of the Academy, King Yan naturally attaches importance to his opinion.

Yuan Sheng got up and saluted to King Yan and said, "It's just a little humble opinion below, I hope there will be a little reference to pick up the gaps." ”

"In my opinion, the Prince's troops are now waiting for an opportunity to find the main force of Snow Country for a decisive battle. But now the wolf cavalry of the Snow Country avoided fighting, and the cavalry of the prince worked an expedition. There are clouds in the book of war: husband fights, courage also. One blow of strength, then decline, three and exhaustion. ”

"I'm afraid that after a long time, His Highness's cavalry spirit will be worn out by the Snow Country. ”

The lightness and happiness on Yan Wang's face disappeared, and his body lying on the couch became a little heavy.

"The efficiency of the king's intelligence network in the Snow Country is amazing, but His Royal Highness the Prince's cavalry can't find the main force of the Snow Country for a decisive battle, but I'm afraid that there is some conspiracy hidden in it. In Xiaosheng's opinion, Snow Country may not easily give His Royal Highness the Crown Prince a chance to fight quickly. It's better to remind him to be prepared, think long-term, and take every step of the way. ”

"Ahem, ahem, ahem......"

Yan Wang suddenly coughed violently, his face was flushed, and he was wheezing hard.

"Father!"

Yehua screamed, and hurriedly held King Yan and kept patting his chest to ease him.

"I'm coming!"

At this time, Jiang Sen stepped forward, his hand was lit with green light, and he placed it on Yan Wang's chest. After a while, King Yan stopped coughing, and his face finally recovered.

"Jiang's spell is really magical. Ay. It's a pity that I'm old. It's useless. ”

King Yan laughed at himself.

"Father!"

Yehua shouted. There was a hint of displeasure in his voice.

"Okay, okay! Whew......"

King Yan took a long breath and said, "Go down! I'm a little tired." I want to take a break. ”

"Yes!"

A group of people saluted King Yan and then retreated, and when they were about to walk to the door, King Yan suddenly stopped Yehua.

"Hua'er, don't delay everyone's trip, you can go straight to the road after you have rested, and you don't have to come to say hello to me again." ”

"Yes!"

Yehua responded.

"And. ”

King Yan took a breath and continued, "Let General Zuo enter the palace to discuss matters." ”

"Father!"

Yehua shouted with concern.

"Go ahead!"

King Yan just urged him again, and then stopped talking.

"Yes!"

Yehua saluted again, and went down to the palace to find General Zuo.

"Whew. ”

King Yan gasped for a while and muttered, "This kid doesn't have any eyesight, and he doesn't know how many steps to take." Let Lao Tzu shout to him from so far away, don't you know that I'm old?"

The young people who had left the hall suddenly felt a little heavy in their hearts, and they only felt that an old man, when he should have been living for the rest of his life, had to worry about so many things, and he didn't dare to slack off for a moment. Everyone says it's good to be an emperor, but how do you know the daily pain of these people.

Several people were waiting for Yehua outside the palace in Yanjing, and after a while, General Zuo's Yehua was announced. Everyone looked at him but didn't know what to say.

Yehua walked into the crowd, first saluted Zhang Jianyi and Yuan Jinling, and then stood and looked at everyone.

But everyone is watching him. Finally, in everyone's eyes, Yehua asked uncomfortably, "What are you looking at me doing, what should we do now?"

"What for?"

Jiang Sen asked, "We're waiting for you to talk!"

"Waiting for me?"

Yehua looked at everyone inexplicably.

"yes, yes. ”

Feng Feisha also waited for his opinion, and Xuan Bai, Kong Xiaoxin, and Yuan Sheng also nodded in unison.

"Why me? I'm with you?"

Yehua said.

"This is your territory! Don't ask who you ask? Are you taking us for a stroll, or are you going to your house to drink tea, and you don't need to eat, you just ate very well in the palace. Kong Xiaoxin said.

"Then let's go!"

"What?"

Everyone didn't seem to hear Qingyehua's sudden enthusiastic words.

"I said, let's go now!" Yehua announced in a louder voice.

"Go!"

Yuan Jinling shouted in response.

"Let's go!"

All the young people were ignited by this blood and roared excitedly together.

And then.

No one moved.

After shouting, it was cold, which was really embarrassing.

"Lead the way!"

Everyone suddenly roared in Yehua's ears.
