"It's all quiet."
Bei Mingyuan sat on the throne. Hearing the discussion of the officials, he couldn't help being upset. Zhang Sheng and Bei Minghuan were his right-hand men. Now both of them have died in battle, and the Tianji Empire is no longer the original one. The empire is the strongest on the Celestial Continent, and the river is going down, and it has become the weakest one.
"Let’s talk about it, what should the empire be like now." Bei Mingyuan looked at everyone coldly and said: "The Tianjue Empire is coming in a fierce manner. The country dies, who is willing to lead troops to fight against the enemies of the Tianjue Empire."
The officials were silent, and a group of military commanders looked at the ground. Now who dares to fight the Tianjue Empire, you must know that the Tianjue Empire claims to have 1.5 million soldiers, plus 400 dragon knights, who can The enemy, most importantly, the Tianji Empire launched an expedition to the broken tripod world, which has already consumed a large amount of national power. Not to mention the deaths of 400,000 people, the national treasury also consumed most of the money and food, plus the new defeat of the Yanji Corps, now Even the 400,000 horses of the Tianji Empire are gone, so what can I do to resist the 1.5 million Tianjue Empire
After a while, an veteran finally folded his hand and said: "Your Majesty, Lord Midnight led nearly fifty thousand troops to the Lingyuan County. At this moment, it should have been at war with the Tianjue Empire. With the power of the angel, I am afraid that the heavens It will not be easy for the Jue Empire to capture Lingyuan County, not to mention... Chen Yu's child will definitely be afraid of being an angel. After all, it is not a simple matter to be an enemy of the heavens."
"Midnight..."
Bei Mingyuan sneered: "King Lan Ji, don’t forget, Midnight is an angel of the west, the god of the Western Heaven, and the entire Celestial Continent is in the bag of the Western Heaven. Do you think Master Midnight will help us with Is the stronger Tianjue Empire an enemy?"
King Lan Ji was taken aback: "Your Majesty meant... Lord Midnight will not help anyone."
"Yes."
Bei Mingyuan said indifferently: "The mission of Lord Midnight is to help the Celestial Continent destroy the Broken Ding Realm. Do you think he will participate in the war within the Celestial Continent? I think... Master Midnight's position must be for us to make peace. , To attack Broken Ding Realm together, but this is absolutely impossible. Chen Yu's little wolf ambition and desire to destroy me are already very obvious."
King Lan Ji said: "Your Majesty, if this is the case, the Weichen suggested to send someone to the Blackstone Empire. Only by joining forces with the Blackstone Empire can we fight against the powerful Tianjue Empire."
"I have this intention."
Bei Mingyuan held the handle of the sword and said, "It's just... I don't know who should be sent to the Blackstone Empire."
"The minister is willing to go." Lan Ji Wang said solemnly.
"Okay, ready to play, set off on the day."
As he said, Bei Mingyuan paused again: "There is another major event. Now the Empire still has the Lanji Corps, the Yanji Corps, and the local provincial garrisons, a total of nearly 700,000 horses. Who will control them, if we don’t resist it. I’m afraid Chen Yu’s child will be able to sweep the entire territory of my empire within a month."
Wang Lan Ji clasped his fist and said, "We recommend one person by a minister, and he will surely be able to serve as a great task."
"Say."
"Gong Shangming."
"Gong Shangming." Bei Mingyuan squinted: "But in the battle of the broken tripod, Gong Shangming's strategy was not superior to that of Lin Muyu, Feng Jixing and others. It was his improper command that caused the army to fail and ultimately fell short. , Do you want me to continue to reuse this person?"
Wang Lan Ji smiled slightly: "Your Majesty knows something. Although Gong Shangming knows well in strategy, he was restrained by Marshal Bei Minghuan and others in the battle of the broken tripod world. He did not have complete decision-making power, so he Lost, not to mention that the Broken Ding Realm has been fighting year after year. Lin Muyu, Feng Jixing, Xu Jiantao and others are all famous generals, one by one, the thief spirits, and the bow is still defeated by these people, but they may not be defeated by the generals of the Tianjue Empire. Don’t forget, your Majesty, the Tianjue Empire has not had any wars for many years, like us. He is impetuous, and Gong Shangming’s defeat in the Broken Ding Realm is his capital. Knowing the shame and then courage, if your majesty appoints Gong Shangming Such a Confucian will be the marshal, and the Tianjue Empire will inevitably despise us. In this way, the chance of victory for the Tianji Empire will naturally appear."
Bei Mingyuan couldn't help but smiled knowingly: "What King Lan Ji said is very...
…
On November 10th, under heavy snowfall, Gong Shangming worshipped generals in Tianji City and officially became the new marshal of the Tianji Empire.
On November 11th, the army of the Tianjue Empire met at Midnight in Lingyuan County. Just as Bei Mingyuan had expected, Midnight remained neutral and did not become an enemy of either party. Instead, he persuaded Chen Yu to give up and make peace. Chen Yu refused.
On November 15th, Wang Lan Ji and his followers arrived at Qianshan City, the capital of the Blackstone Empire, and were personally received by Emperor Shiyuan.
…
Above the hall, drums and music rang together. Although the Blackstone Empire had gone through wars, the imperial capital Qianshan City still had a scene of singing and dancing. This was probably Shi Yuan's strategy of governing the country.
To be proud of life must be full of joy, don't make Jinzun empty to the moon.
Even King Lan Ji couldn't feel the way the Blackstone Empire was going through the war, and he couldn't help frowning, feeling that this ally seemed very unreliable.
As an envoy, King Lan Ji was placed in a seat very close to Shi Yuan, accompanied by two beautiful women. They were also beautiful women in elegant long skirts. They were very feminine, but Wang Lan Ji’s mind was all on the covenant. He still cares about these beauties, not to mention that as a prince, he has never lacked a woman.
"His Majesty Bei Mingyuan's body has been well recently." Shi Yuan squinted and asked with a smile.
King Lan Ji hurriedly toasted: "Everything is well, thank you for your concern."
"That's good."
Shi Yuan drank it and said, "Tianjue Empire is coming in a fierce manner. I have heard the bad news about General Zhang Sheng's death in battle. I would rather die than surrender. It is really a famous general."
"Thank you for your praise."
Shi Yuan continued: "Chen Yu's ambitions are wolves, and his troops are divided into two groups. One way he never returns to the forest to attack the Tianji Empire. There are about one million troops. Wanjun, there are half a million strong enemies outside the pass, and our Blackstone Empire can't prevent it. Therefore, our country's 200,000 strong wind regiment and the newly trained 200,000 national guard army are almost all deployed at Jinyun Pass. In this area, there is no time for the clone to manage the war on the territory of the Tianji Empire."
King Lan Ji frowned and said, "Your Majesty, you should also know that once the Tianji Empire is destroyed, the next one must be the Blackstone Empire. Chen Yu's goal is to unify the entire continent, not just a small Tianji Empire. That's it."
"Of course I know." Shi Yuan groaned, and said, "But there are no soldiers in the country. You should have seen it on the way King Lan Ji came. Qianshan City is the capital of the country, but the force is less than 10,000. At this time, I am more worried about Chen Yu. The children will send a cavalry south to Qianshan City, I am afraid that my lair will not be saved..."
Shi Yuan laughed loudly.
King Lan Ji had a desire to die. I really didn’t know that the people in the Blackstone Empire were crazy or bold, so he laughed and said, "Your Majesty, wise and martial artist, will definitely not be attacked by Chen Yu’s children. Yes, I am very relieved about this, but... Since your country has decided to form an alliance with our country, is it really impossible to send out any troops?"
"Really can't."
Shi Yuan shook his head: "I am really powerless... However, I have a way, maybe I can solve the danger of the Tianji Empire."
"Oh, please speak up, Your Majesty."
"His Royal Highness Lan Ji knows about the Baize Mercenary Corps."
"This... I've heard a little bit. In the past six months, there are legends about Baize mercenaries appearing and haunting. It is said that the head of this mercenary group is a concubine named Liu Buyi. Mercenaries, and well-equipped, are comparable to any regular empire regiment on the mainland."
Shi Yuan smiled faintly: "In fact, it's not a hundred thousand people, it's 180,000 people."
"what."
King Lan Ji was shocked: "A mercenary group can have 180,000 people. How do they feed these 180,000 people without income such as taxes?"
"His Royal Highness does not know that this Baize mercenary has already occupied our 7 counties." Shi Yuan shot the table and said: "If it is not for distraction and fatigue, I must impose a personal conquest and destroy them."
Wang Lan Ji was ashamed: "Then... Your Majesty, what's the meaning of your mention of this Baize mercenary to me."
Shi Yuan laughed: "His Royal Highness Lan Ji didn't know that this Baize mercenary was really not Liu Buyi who was behind the scenes. Liu Buyi's scheming, city government, and strength are far from being able to create such a powerful mercenary. group."
"Who is that."
"Sikong Yao."
"What." Wang Lan Ji sat upright in surprise: "This... how is this possible? Isn't Sikong Yao the granddaughter of the famous Sect Master, she... how could she be the real master of Baize's mercenary."
"However, this is the case." Shi Yuan said: "I have already pointed out the path to His Royal Highness. If His Royal Highness can invite Bai Ze mercenaries to participate in the war, these 180,000 elites will go directly north and attack the enemy with your country's main force. If Chen Yu has a million troops, he will fail, and Sikongyao is a native of your country. She has a good friend named Shang Qian. This Shang Qian’s foreign justice is the old general Zhang Sheng who died in battle. If Lan Ji Wang Yushu invites Miss Shang Qian personally invited Sikongyao to assist in the battle at the station of the Baize mercenary. Major events can be expected."
King Lan Ji's thoughts were a little confused.
"His Royal Highness, do you want to wait any longer." Shi Yuan laughed: "Come here, give His Royal Highness Lan Ji a pass token so that he can move freely in the Blackstone Empire."
King Lan Ji finally couldn't sit still, and stood up and said, "It should not be too late. Rescue is like fighting a fire. Xiao Wang has retired first. Thank you for your suggestion."
"Then... I won't send it to your Highness anymore."
"Quit."
…
King Lan Ji left with the Congren.
After watching Wang Lan Ji go away, an old civil servant immediately laughed and said, "Your Majesty, the wise martial artist, not only will King Lan Ji be dismissed, if he can really invite Sagong Yao, then we can still It would be great to get rid of the Plague God of Baize Mercenary with one stone and two birds."
The corner of Shi Yuan's mouth raised: "Let's just wait and reap the profits."
