Power and Empire Chapter 1649: Horizon (4)

Saron left, only Fatty was left in the tent. He spread out a report on the table. Fatty's eyes flickered. It has been a long time since he feels uneasy inside. It may be the drizzle outside that made him feel Isn’t your mood fluctuating?

"It's raining, it's really annoying"

The fat man looked up at the rain curtain outside, smiled at the corner of his mouth, and threw the pen in his hand on the table

There has just been news from the country that since the death of the yīn strategist, the Eastern Army, the alliance of more than 20 Eastern Army tribes quickly fell apart, and they could no longer have the previous aura, and it was even difficult to protect themselves. , The three-legged situation of the East Court is disintegrating. The princess of the East Court, Rui Tang Tingna, took advantage of the disintegration of the East Army and absorbed 7 tribes. The total population exceeded 400,000. She truly became the first power in the East Court Grassland and controlled the bow under her command. The prairie cavalry reached 80,000,

The Ministry of Military Affairs sent a report specifically for this. The deputy head of the country Prais suggested that the fat man should transfer Rui Tang Tingna’s army to the Oballo operation, so as to avoid the resurgence of the grassland that has just surrendered and weaken Rui Tang Tingna. Second, it can create opportunities for Berrant Bonnie’s border guards to strengthen grassland control,

"This woman has no small ambitions! But it's just that little ambition that only looks at the prairie sky!"

The fat man only grinned slightly for Prais’s suggestions in the report. Rui Tang Tingna is a smart woman, but she is also very stubborn. In fact, in the heart of this prairie woman, why don’t you know her own efforts, in fact, It’s a dream of drawing water from a bamboo basket,

Last time on the northwest coast, Fatty once persuaded Rui Tang Tingna. "Now, it is not the chaotic world where the heroes co-existed at the time, and it was not the era in which you can rise as long as you have ambition and strength. Ikadiva has been unified. , Thousands of miles of territory are planted with the flag of the Falcon Dynasty. There will be no results if you insist on this way! Instead of this, why don’t you think about other aspects?

Rui Tangting’s tender and feeble leaning against the fat man’s arms, with long hair like a waterfall, beautiful eyes looking at the stars outside the window, whispered, "Your Majesty means I understand. Although I don’t want to admit it, there are disputes in the grassland, but The fact that most of them admitted to the rule of the empire is irrefutable. At present, the Eastern Army is disintegrating and the Western Army is in a downturn. Berrant Bonnie’s border guards are eyeing the prairie. Even if they have ambitions, they are gone. Look at that. Bokasli, the old man who has experienced the rise to decline of the East Court and the changes of two eras, is now just an ordinary old man fishing. If there is no longer a banner that belongs to the people of the prairie, the prairie has been hundreds of years old. Your majesty’s glory and pride are truly withered like the cold winter. Does your Majesty wish to see such a grassland? The grassland cavalry at that time were just sheep. Not the most brave cavalry under your Majesty’s command."

The fat man touched Rui Tangtingna's smooth and smooth hair, feeling the stubborn persistence in the heart of the princess in his arms, and he was silent for a while, not knowing what to say. Such a situation in the grassland is inextricably linked with itself,

In order to suppress the rival of the northern grasslands, I launched several wars. From the West Court to the East Court, hundreds of thousands of prairie people were casualties, and countless prairie heroes fell. The grassland that has been strong in the inland areas for a hundred years has been completely crushed by the cavalry of the Falcon Empire. For thousands of miles between the east and the west, the grassland people have formed the consciousness that confronting the empire is a dead end. This is the general trend. /

According to the report of the Ministry of Supervision, the leader of the Eight Departments of the East Court, who has the richest resources, but was born out of time, is now the biggest pleasure of going fishing by the river outside the city of Vardin, the plain of Vardin. The warmth was shining on this kind old man. Next to him, there were laughing children running back and forth on the river bank. The carriage was sparkling. Few people knew that this person was under the bridge by the river. The old man from the basement building who can happily close his mouth from ear to ear, is the commander-in-chief of one hundred thousand cavalrymen who have trampled the northern mountains and rivers several times.

Until now, the fat man still admires Bocasli’s decisiveness and willingness to give up, in exchange for the survival of the Western Army, seemingly cowardly, but in fact it is full of the heroism of the prairie people. For the continuation of the tribe, Bokasli chose a personal sacrifice. Otherwise, the situation where the Eastern Army is now swallowed and divided is a portrayal of the Western Army.

Bocasli is indeed a person who has seen the rise and fall of the dynasty. He found that something could not be done, so he decisively gave up. Instead of fighting to the death and losing the last capital of the prairie people, it is better to forbear hiding and wait until the freezing wind passes. Grow the bud of green again. And Rui Tangtingna undoubtedly chose another path, no matter whether she really loved herself or not, she chose marriage, sacrificed herself, and saved millions of creatures on the Dongting Grassland, leaving the last piece of dúlì land for the people on the grassland.

This is the human heart of the grassland. Things are not human. The short-lived Dongting grassland dynasty has gradually forgotten people’s eyes.

In order for the grassland to survive under the iron fist of the empire, Bokasli was imprisoned, and Solomon Dagon died in battle. Rui Tang Tingna chose to take advantage of the situation and persisted in their own way. Although Rui Tang Tingna's power gradually grew, but It was under the banner of the imperial princess, not the banner of the princess Dongting. The reason why the fat man closed one eye for him was not because he fell completely into Rui Tangtingna’s tender hometown, but because he knew very well. , As long as this woman really dares to raise the flag of rebellion, hundreds of thousands of people under her command will immediately flee, even if this woman can toss, it will stop here, of course, that is not what the fat man wants to see.

"That's good, it just fills the open space of the Slavs! There is a battlefield suitable for cavalry operations!" The fat man thought for a while, and finally wrote an order on the report, allowing the emperor's Ministry of Affairs from Rui Tang Tingna dispatched 40,000 prairie cavalry to Obaro,

"It is estimated that this time, this woman will come to Xingshi to inquire!" The fat man put down his pen, thinking of Rui Tangtingna's pretty pale face, the corners of his mouth suddenly laughed, got up from the seat, turned his back Go ahead and look out of the account with your head up,

The drizzle is cute, with the wind hitting the face, it’s cool, sticking out his tongue and licking it, it’s a bit salty,

"It's another rainy season!"

Fatty finds a very interesting phenomenon. Every time, it seems that it’s the juncture that determines the fate of the kingdom. God always takes care of himself. It is either raining or drizzling. It always makes people feel that the road ahead is hazy and impossible. See the future direction clearly, (the author likes to rain. Fatty expresses helplessness)

The last time I was bathed in the cold and heavy rain, it was the Stalos battlefield strangled by hundreds of thousands of troops. Between the two great powers of Erdian, swallow the imposing 200,000 Swadian army chased by the tail in one go.

In that battle, the two armies galloped horizontally and horizontally. The battle line is like a long snake, winding for more than ten kilometers. The last trace of the kingdom of Swadian, the overlord of the mainland for a hundred years, was finally exhausted in this battle. The corpses were everywhere, and 200,000 troops died in countless battles. A few years later, the land was opened up. The peasants can still find the white bones in battle armor in the remote wilderness.

The millennium dìdū Paravin's surrender without a fight directly proclaimed the Ikadiva continent for a hundred years in advance. The confrontation between the two powers ended. After this battle, the Kingdom of Falcon relied on its power to destroy the country, and the kingdom was renamed the Falcon Dynasty. To the entire continent of Ikadiva, show that I want to end the five hundred years of turmoil and reproduce the original ambition of the thousand-year dynasty of Ikadiva, using the blood of hundreds of thousands of people. Laid the foundation of a dynasty,

And now, I want to enter the empire from the dynasty. Do you still need Chenghe's blood under your feet?

"Your Majesty, the Duke of Denia is here!"

The reminding sound of the guards came from around, interrupting the fat man’s thoughts, raising his head, the fat man saw the Duke of Denia wearing a knight armor, wearing a red cloak, followed by five knight commanders. Come here with a bad face

"Your Excellency, what are you?" The fat man looked at the Duke of Denia who was getting closer and closer. The Duke of Denia's face was a little blue.

"Does your majesty already know? Murphy Obern set fire to the southwestern capital, causing more than 100,000 Southwestern casualties." The Duke of Denia asked unceremoniously

"Well, I did receive such news! But it hasn't been implemented yet. Because of this, I called everyone to hold a meeting at night to discuss the issue of marching to the Southwest." The fat man looked at the angry Duke of Denia and nodded. , Said calmly

"This information does not need to be implemented anymore, I can guarantee that the reputation is true! I have arranged someone in the southwestern capital, and the situation there is worse than the rumors." The Duke of Denia listened For this reason, the angry face calmed down, gritted his teeth and said

"Please also your Majesty immediately order the march." The Duke of Denia said with burning eyes and a grim face. "Murphy Obern's atrocities have aroused the anger of the Southwest Army. I can guarantee that if you march now, the front The Southwest Army will collapse without fighting!"

"The meeting is held until the evening because we don’t need to deal with the Southwest Army at all!" The fat man looked at the a little angry Duke of Denia and chuckled." The Southwest Army has already surrendered to us, and the southwest gate is already Open up! That’s why we have to hold a meeting. We are marching into the southwest, not fighting. I don’t want everyone to be unhappy because of their own personal interests after entering the southwest. I believe your Excellency the Duke should understand what I mean!"

"So that's the case!" When the Duke of Denia heard that the Southwest Army had surrendered, his eyes brightened, his eyes flashed with inexplicable emotions, and after a while of silence, he asked, "I presume to ask, how your Majesty is going to deal with the Southwest. ?"

"What do you mean by the Duke? This time the battle of the Northwest, your contribution is not small, especially the Duke joined us without hesitation." The fat man squinted his eyes, looking at the Duke of Denia in unclear meaning.

"Of course it is..." The Duke of Denia opened his mouth and was about to say, his eyes suddenly met with the fat man, and his face changed suddenly, "Don't dare, the southwest is the southwest of your majesty, how to deal with it? Regarding your majesty, I still have this kind of awareness!" The Duke of Denia lowered his head, rarely showing a trace of compromise, and said in an embarrassing tone.

"How can it work? The Duke leads a 20,000 army of volunteers, so he can't explain it at all!" The fat man smiled cheerfully. The two giants of the northwestern forces with one hundred thousand soldiers, Rusende It has been reduced to empire land. Only Denia is still tough. The relationship between the Northwest and Denia is fairly good. The relationship between the two sides is constantly about the center line. The Duke of Denia has always been able to maintain his position as the leader of the Northwest. From the change in tone of the Duke of Denia just now, we can see that Denia’s stance is changing under the influence. Faced with the sudden strength of the northwest coast, the Duke of Denia, who has always been tough, has also learned to give in.

"Said it's help, in fact... it would be nice not to be said to be a drag!"

The Duke of Denia shook his head in embarrassment, and said with a wry smile, "Thinking of the fierce battle of the Sona River, it was entirely the main force of your army, but that's it, I led the army across the river to pursue, but fell into the Imperial Guard. 20,000 warriors died in battle and 6,000. If your army hadn’t arrived in time and the Imperial Guard had evacuated in a hurry, I might have been killed long ago."

"You and I are allies, don't say anything to help!" The fat man said solemnly, suddenly looked at the Duke of Denia, and slowly said, "What do you think of the two areas of Antulu and Bikasd? ",

"Antulu and Bicaster?"

The Duke of Denia gave an unexpected stun on his face, a trace of puzzlement flashed across his face, but he still said.

"Antulu and Bikasd are two important areas bordering Ruosende and Denia. Antulu has a huge iron ore, and Bikasd is a famous iron forging center. The weapons produced in this place accounted for two-thirds of the number of weapons in Ruosend,

For these two regions, I launched two battles five years ago, although both times I was repelled by the old fox in Ruosende. But it was also my two active offensives that made Denia a powerful country in the eyes of the northwestern powers compared to the established powers, Ruosende!

"If the Duke has no objection, Antulu and Bikasde shall be the remuneration of the Duke of this battle!" The fat man looked at the dizzy **** sè, the Duke of Denia, and walked to his desk. Pull out a document from the file, pick up the pen, and sign your ugly name,

Antulu and Bikasde are certainly important. But for the vast and abundant Falcon Empire, this resource is still insignificant, but for Denia, which is only a regional power, these two regions are simply two pieces of land that can produce gold. For the hard-working guy, the Duke of Denia, vested interests are always the most touching,

"Your Majesty. You... You are!"

The Duke of Denia was completely stunned by this unexpected joy. He stood there completely, holding documents that he hardly knew how to accept,

This is a transfer document. The Vickia Falcon has already signed the name. As long as he writes his name in another position of the inscription, these two pieces make me think about it. I lost tens of thousands of soldiers and didn’t take it. The place where I left is my own. With the iron of Antulu and the forging craftsmen of Bicaster, the Principality of Denia can be regarded as self-sufficient in weapon forging. Otherwise, every year in order to purchase weapons, Need to spend the pitiful little savings in the Principality.

"A military meeting will be held in the evening. I am going to choose to enter the southwest in the name of the Falcon Empire, not the northwest coast!" The fat man looked at the almost stupid Duke of Denia, and stretched out his hand to pat the Duke of Denia. On the shoulders, his gaze is like a sharp sword, slowly speaking

"What do you think of the Duke?"

"Falcon Empire?"

The Duke of Denia is not a fool either. He blinked. No wonder the Vicky Falcons are so generous. Empire! The Duke of Denia’s heart was trembling, how far away and representing the glorious glory of the country, this means that the term Falcon will be changed to His Majesty the Emperor, and whether the Northwest belongs to the Gaul Empire or the Falcon Empire. , It doesn’t matter to Denia, the Duke of Denia values ​​who can give him the benefits he deserves,

As long as the Falcon Empire does not harm its own interests, the name does not matter. Moreover, from the current situation, the Vicia Falcon is so powerful that it is already at the level of Shunchang's rebellion in the northwest. Just look at Ruosende. I know how fierce the Waykiah Falcon is,

What's more, this is a man with the name of a military god. Thinking of the countless floating corpses of the Guards that blocked the fifty-meter-wide river channel by the Sona River, the Duke of Denia couldn't help but shudder in his heart. Some lowered their heads for the second time, put their hands on their right chest, and said slowly

"As you wish, Your Majesty Falcon Emperor!"

"Finally, we are allies! Whether it is the Northwest Coast or the Falcon Empire, I believe we will cooperate happily!"

The fat man smiled at the corner of his mouth and looked at the sincere face of the Duke of Denia. He has determined that the biggest obstacle tonight does not exist~IndoMTL.com~ The two regions are exchanged for the support of the Duke of Denia. The most powerful duke in the northwest has jumped into the trap.

"The big picture is set!"

Looking at the back of the Duke of Denia leaving happily, the corners of the fat man’s mouth suddenly turned upwards, and a sly smile appeared suddenly. With Antulu’s iron and Bicaster’s weapon forging, according to Denia’s The Duke’s xìng style is bound to vigorously expand the military industry. It is a very money-burning industry. Weapons cannot be sold, it is just a pile of scrap iron.

The economic foundation of the Duchy of Denia is already weak. Under the Duke of Denia's ten-year military force, it has long been weak, like a weak blood vessel that is about to explode. Now it has suddenly been dreamed of. In the region, the expanding military industry is like pumping blood to a chronically ill person. In the end, the Denia Council was crushed by itself.

The only way to save oneself is to rely on the business lines of the Falcon Empire to exchange weapons for money, but if this is the case, the economic lifeline of the Duchy of Denia will fall into the hands of the Empire.

If the brutal Denia is a sharp blade, now, all I have to do is to insert it into the scabbard and let it go! Only such a northwest can be stable.
