During the day, the plain is played with the music of the wind, and at night it is a waltz of the moon and the stars.

The night is quiet, and the flat land on the outskirts of the city is extremely noisy at night, around the bonfire, the Dongting people in fur armor drink the peculiar liquor of the steppe people, gnaw on the roasted wild boar, accompanied by a fist-slashing shout, and the sound of the wine glass colliding, and occasionally there is a scolding, the two steppe people twist into a ball, kicking and beating each other, and the people who are watching the excitement around are shouting and deceiving, while boasting with foul language, and the stretch of white tents arches a white line between the rolling hills.

The camp tent of the Dongting people is placed on the periphery of the city, and then inside is the camp of the Falcon army, the 50,000 central army led by the fat man himself only arrived on the third day, although it occupied the border between Gangnon and Gang, the plundering Dongting cavalry did not enter the city, the authority of the Khan King is inviolable, since the Khan King issued an order to be on guard,

Even if it is less than ten miles away from the nearest city, Lun Kun who can already clearly see the city, the Dongting generals who received the military order, will never dare to let the army continue to advance, 30,000 grassland cavalry are stationed on the spot, the fat man sits in the middle of a circle of Dongting generals in civilian clothes, holding a piece of roasted golden buttery wild boar leg in his hand, without using a knife and fork, he directly tore the wild boar leg meat that has been roasted and cracked by hand, he came this time in the name of reward, the smell of meat wafted in the wind, the Dongting people from the grassland, sat on the ground on the ground that had been yellowed and exposed to the ground,

Overhead is the bright starry sky, into the city silhouette in the distance, the vast earth stretches under the feet, more than ten miles of camp, the dotted firelight is like a river of starlight, the fat man stood up by the bonfire, stretched his legs cross-legged, and wiped the greasy water flowing from the corners of his mouth with his right hand without scruples. The other hand picked up the firewood on the ground and threw it into the bonfire in front of him, "snapped" a few sparks flew up, the war with the Gauls was temporarily stopped, and the center of gravity of the empire began to fall on the southwest, once the agreement between the Congo and Africa was signed, in a short time, the empire should not have a major military operation

While the fat man was beating Gang Feiren, his eyes were once again set to the north, where there were thousands of miles of fertile fields of Slavs, and he watched like this. It doesn't conform to the fat man's usual style, in order to fight against the start of the Eastern Courtyard Empire wandering outside the long wall, the fat man drove Murphy Oone to the north, but judging from the recent news that came back, Murphy Boone's progress in the north is very slow, more than a month has passed, and he still hasn't stepped out of the distance of a hundred miles of the long wall, mainly because Murphy Boone's troops are basically Murphy dragon armored cavalry equipped with heavy cavalry.

Heavy cavalry is a money-burning class, except for weapons and armor, even if it fights a battle, the soldiers do not eat. In order to maintain their body, good war horses also need to replenish a large number of high-quality wheat cakes, and weapons and equipment also need to be maintained, which is a lot of money.

The north is now covered with snow and ice. Even if it is cultivated now, it will take until next year to have the shortest amount of food, and now even the most basic horse grass cannot be guaranteed. Not to mention wheat cakes that are more expensive than food, you can imagine how miserable Murphy Oone is now, the former Gaul general, according to intelligence, the 15,000 Murphy cavalry who accompanied Murphy Oone to the northern long wall froze to death more than 50 people in the last month alone, more than 2,000 war horses were damaged in abnormal battles, and the bad weather completely blocked Murphy Oone from exploring the wider north。

At the same time, this also made the fat man suddenly wake up to a truth, if you want to really enter the land left by the northern Slavs, you will eventually need cold-tolerant troops, such as steppe cavalry and cold infantry, especially the steppe cavalry can basically achieve self-production and self-production in terms of supply and demand.

This minimizes the concern that the empire may have a large financial burden as it expands into the northern regions.

In terms of who can take on such a heavy responsibility, the fat man naturally thought of the former Dongting general Wu Mu, this time he came to take a look, if he could dig Wu Mu away from Rui Tang Tingna, it would be the best, if not, at least he had to bury a little tempting capital in Wu Mu's heart!

Thinking of this, the fat man looked into the distance, and suddenly asked, "Wumu, do you miss the grassland?"

"Prairie?" Uki frowned slightly,

The voices of the people in the surrounding east courtyard quickly stopped, Silence, only the night wind, but everyone's eyes were focused on the Umu, and everyone could see that since he arrived in Obarro, His Majesty the Khan had a high opinion of the Umu, which made the generals of the Eastern Court always envious to death, this is the Khan King who is in charge of the life and death of countless people, if anyone can catch such a monarch, not the rise and fall of a tribe, it is completely possible to become the overlord of the grassland, but unfortunately, such thinking is obviously not on the Umu, the former general of the Eastern Court lowered his head and seemed to have heard nothing

"From here to the Dongting Grassland, it will take at least more than a month!" The fat man saw that Wu Mu didn't speak, and decided to push him hard, and asked with a smile on the corner of his mouth, "I heard that the weather in the grassland is a cruel winter after September, if you let you go back now, I don't know if you can catch up before the first snow!" In the grasslands, the first snow often heralds the onset of a brutal winter, when tribes must migrate from their existing areas to the warmer south, and for most grassland tribes, it is a very solemn day, like the annual return of migratory birds

"It's 59 days, His Majesty the Khan!"

Knowing that he couldn't dodge, he replied with a gloomy expression, "I will always remember the day I set out, the day my daughter got married, and there is still one day to go and two months away!

The fat man's face showed a hint of surprise, he didn't think that Du Wumu would find such a reason, 59 days! Such a clear number, he couldn't help but make the corners of the fat man's mouth slightly upturned, and his face was full of coldness, this guy really took the bait, is it like an arrow?

To prevaricate with such a broken reason, can it be that he can't see it, and it is obvious that he is completely ignoring his own solicitation intentions! But the more this is the case, the more the fat man attaches great importance to this fierce general of the Eastern Court in his heart, and the people of the grassland have always been pragmatists, and at critical moments. For the sake of profit, even the affection of relatives will be abandoned,

For example, Rui Tangtingna, a woman, until now, this princess of the East Court has been completely regarded as a fat person, but from beginning to end, she has not mentioned her sister and mother who are under house arrest, and even if Rui Tangtingna is willing to lower her posture, the fat man does not mind being a favor in the water.

But Rui Tang Tingna seems to have completely forgotten these two closest relatives to her in this world.

In fact, the reason is that the fat man is also very clear, Rui Tang Tingna's clan is growing, and there has been a lot of improvement, and now she is the representative of the largest force in the East Court, if you put back your sister and mother who have always been undealing with it at this time, I am afraid that the existing arbitrary situation will be dismantled immediately,

After all, the influence of those two on the people of Dongting is not small, and one is the former queen of Dongting. The other is the most pampered little princess of the East Court King, and it is rare to have an alternative like the Woods! Rui Tang Tingna can get the help of the Woods, of course, it is a kind of luck, but it is also because of the too rigid character of the Woods. I'm afraid I'll feel constrained in some things.

"The grassland is too small, Wood, have you thought about creating a new world?" the fat man stared at Wood's sweaty smooth forehead, and suddenly said in a heavy voice, "The next plan of the Empire." Not only to march into the hinterland of Gaul, but also to send cavalry deep into the northern Slavic regions, where there were thousands of miles of fertile fields that had just lost their masters. I'm going to make it a new meadow for the Imperial cavalry! There, I want a governor who can reassure the Empire, and I'll pick it from among the steppe people!"

"Governor of the Imperial Meadows!"

The Dongting generals kneeling on the ground raised their heads in shock, is it true? Every general's face showed a look of longing one by one, the situation in the Dongting grassland has been fixed, and every grassland tribe is gasping under the powerful nose of the empire, and they are careful not to trespass in the slightest, now the empire is willing to let go of a new area, and will also promote an imperial governor from among the grassland people, this news is tantamount to a bomb exploding in the Dongting general, and their eyes are once again focused on the wood,

There is envy and jealousy, all kinds of affectionate eyes fall into the fat man's slightly squinted eyes, that's right, the fat man is trying to force the woods to make a choice, the fat man wants to convey a message to all the people in the East Garden, the empire, can no longer let these two golden partners cooperate, rather than one day becoming a danger to the empire, it is better to disassemble as soon as possible, so that its ability can really be used by the empire.

"The men of the steppe, everywhere they go, are grass seeds flying out of the grassland, how can there be a son who doesn't want to miss his mother, so please forgive the king of Khan"

Umu replied with his fingers clenched and his face turned blue, he sat cross-legged on the fat man's left hand, his hands were on both knees, his eyes showed a hint of determination, the ten fingers on his knees were nervously clenched into fists when he said this, the red light of the bonfire reflected on his face, and the beads of sweat on his forehead were like blood,

It's a cold autumn night now, even if you sit by the warm bonfire, you will definitely not be hot like this, "Lord Umu, is this crazy, such an opportunity is actually refused!" The other two Dongting Wan Cavalry Captains held their breath with ugly faces at the same time, but at the same time this unbelievable thought flashed in their hearts, refusing the invitation of the Falcon Khan King, there is no difference between looking for death in the empire, don't look at your Wumu hero, but can you be a hero over the Falcon Khan King who made the entire grassland bow his head! As the last general of the Dongting era, it is already the limit to be tolerated by the Khan King, so he doesn't know the current affairs, it's really ...... Look for death!" So, you chose to refuse!" The fat man's face became cold, and everyone could feel it, the thunderous anger of the King of Khan was gathering, and the air became tense for a while, and everyone felt a seeping chill emanating from the position of the King of Khan, "Your Majesty the King of Khan, Lord Wumu is just straightforward, but he definitely does not mean to offend the King of Khan, please forgive the King of Khan!" A captain of the East Court who had a good relationship with the Wumu hurriedly stood up

"No, this is the answer of the Umu after thinking about it!" Umu stood up and suddenly knelt down on his knees in front of the fat man, lowered his head to the ground, and said in a trembling voice, "For the kindness of the King of Khan, the Umu really has no courage to refuse! But the roots of the Umu are in the Dongting Grassland, if you change places, the Umu will be like a weed that has lost its roots, and it will not be able to survive!"

"Forgive me, Lord Wood, Lord Woods must be drunk!" The other captain of the Ten Thousand Horsemen looked panicked and wanted to help the Woods up from the ground, as the commanders of this dispatch, they must all be Rui Tangtina's henchmen, who dares to guarantee that the angry King Khan will not kill the Woods again. Spread your anger on yourself

"Okay, it's just a casual question, why are you so nervous!" The fat man looked at the three East Court Wan Cavalry Commanders, patted the grass clippings on his body, and swept his eyes sharply, the unity of the East Court people was indeed a little unexpected to him, but it was not completely invulnerable,

At least three Wan Cavalry Commanders are not the same heart, the corners of the fat man's mouth twitched slightly, he was sure. As long as he is willing to throw this heavy bait, the clan leaders below Rui Tangtingna will definitely not hesitate to abandon Rui Tangtingna, throw themselves into the arms of the empire, and become the lord of a grassland from a new one, which is no different from becoming the king of the Khan of a region, which is the goal of many grassland tribes for which blood is shed

Taking a deep breath, the fat man said, "The Empire is eager for your service, but it is not unscrupulous! On the contrary, the loyalty of the Woods is very admirable! The gates of the empire are always open for people like you," the fat man's voice stopped, and his expression was as calm as a fox who had just won a chicken, "...... difficult time!"

No one noticed that the fierce general of the Eastern Court, who was as strong as an iron tower, when he heard the words of the Khan King. The body trembled slightly, and the ordinary words of the Falcon Khan King made this Dongting general feel like a great enemy, and he had never shown himself comfortable in front of thousands of enemies. At this moment, beads of sweat oozed from his forehead,

The Khan's words were even more terrifying than a sword, but the Umu couldn't even think of resisting. The reason why the steppe people worship heroes is because of the ruthlessness of the heroes, and in the circulation of the steppe people, there are too many heroes who are actually ruthless characters who kill their brothers and love their relatives, let alone the king of the Khan! The real king of the steppe! It is already rare to be able to kill himself without being angry, not to mention that he still wants to give himself such a heavy responsibility, "get up!"

The fat man's expression returned to calm, and he waved his hand, although he did not pry the top pillar of the wood, but he also planted the seeds of instability under Rui Tang Tingna's hands, and everyone in the Eastern Court felt that the anger of the King of the Khan was exhausted before slowly standing up, and the Falcon Khan King turned over and jumped on the war horse led by the guards and galloped away, everyone felt a cold sweat behind them, in the minds of the people of the Eastern Garden, with the inland cavalry horses stepping on the eastern and western grasslands for thousands of miles, wearing the crown of the king of the steppe full of human blood, it is said that in the war to conquer the interior, the Vekia Falcon, who killed more than one million enemies, is the greatest hero in the world in their mindsIn front of this person in power, who is said to be able to decide the fate of millions of living beings in a breath, the only thing that all the people of Dongting can maintain is trembling persistence.

The Woods looked at the direction in which the fat man disappeared with some stunnedness, and whispered to himself in a low voice that only he could hear: "The first Imperial Governor from the Prairie People, Your Majesty, what a sharp bait you are!" The Woods don't know how to describe it, but this is no longer something that can be described by grace, or that such persistence always collapses sometimes! Your Royal Highness the Princess, if the Woods want to become an eagle's wings, I'm afraid they won't be able to bear it!" Wood's gaze slowly went up, looking at the starry sky above his head, and the corners of his mouth were filled with bitterness,

In his mind, a talented little girl was turned up, wearing the wide robe of the steppe people, making an eagle soaring posture on her arms, and her mouth let out a cheerful laugh like a silver bell, although she was still very small, she was not afraid of height at all, as if she belonged to that sky, "My brave chief of guard, are you willing to become the wings of the future Khan King soaring into the sky?" Of course, if there is a day, I will not hesitate to become the wings of the princess, even if it is just me!" The thirty-one-year-old Wumu held the young Rui Tang Tingna in his hand and said with a cheerful smile,

He is not a fool, how can he not see the original intention of the Falcon Khan King, with the thousands of miles of fertile fields of the northern Slavs as bait, it is not he a vulture, but hundreds of thousands of tribes under the command of Princess Rui Tangtingna, as long as he agrees to the appointment of the Khan, the news will be transmitted back to the country, and the results of the years of hard work for Her Royal Highness the eldest princess will soon be strongly impacted, and the rise of the Eastern Court will completely become an empty word! The former east court is no longer important, Wu Mu just hopes to see the eldest princess can never give up and fly towards her own sky, if even she chooses to turn her back, Wu Mu dare not imagine it!" Your Majesty, Lord Salon's report sent back urgently!" "The fat man returned to his camp, and before he had time to enter the main tent, the captain of the guard on duty that night hurriedly sent a letter, "Salon's report, what the matter, this guy should be on the way back now!" The fat man's eyebrows frowned slightly, took the letter, and by the light of the fire on the side of the barracks road, he picked up the letter, his eyes swept the contents of the letter, and his face suddenly became gloomy, "Come, tell the Admiralty Dustromkai, I want to see him! Let him come to me as quickly as possible!" The fat man pressed down the letter in his hand and ordered to the guards behind him (to be continued......
