The banquet did not last long. It was impossible for so many generals to stay in Yumen City for one night. In less than an hour, the marshals led the generals to leave Xueluo Mansion and led their troops back to the frontline camp. .
However.
A group of young people from the royal capital and outside the customs are not included in this list!
Ji Luo After the banquet dispersed, it was held accordingly.
Naturally, no one from the royal capital left, and those outside the pass, except for Qi Sheng, Chu Ci and a few others who returned to the frontline camp, all stayed.
When the generals of the older generation left, they stopped for a moment at the side of the younger generation. They were obviously choosing the girls of their choice for their nephews, and sent messages to them to tell them to perform well and win as soon as possible.
Obviously Huo Wuji didn't have this intention and wanted to take Huo Baima away directly. Unexpectedly, Chu Fu said, "Young Marshal Huo is an elite of the young generation outside our customs. The young men outside our customs are all waiting for Marshal Huo to grow up." "Directly inspired Huo Baima's ambition.
"Father, please go first! My child will behave well and won't let you down!"
Huo Baima was obviously determined to perform well at the party, earn back the face he had lost during the day, and not let his contemporaries in the capital and outside the pass look down upon him.
Huo Wuji had no choice but to smile awkwardly, and left with the other marshals, thinking that the stupid boy would not embarrass himself.
finally.
Everyone withdrew, leaving only the envoys from the royal capital, the young generation outside the customs, and their entourage!
Qi Ying took Wu Sanjun to change seats and ate and drank, waiting for Huo Baima to leave this embarrassing party early so as to stay away from these annoying people from the capital.
Looking at the men and women who kept teasing, Qi Ying suddenly realized something.
Ji Luoxue led a delegation of envoys from the royal capital to come here, and the compensation they brought was not the main point, these people were!
I heard Qi Weiwu say that although Ji Yingou, the king of this generation, was mediocre in strength and fond of painting, his methods were astonishing. In just over ten years, he took away half of the military power of the seven great families.
In the past, the six armies outside Yumen Pass were occupied by the seven great families. The situation on the Nanman defense line was similar.
In the development of thousands of years, the royal family's control over the kingdom has been taken away a lot by the seven major families, and military power is an important aspect.
But before Ji Yingou came to the throne, the princelings headed by him had adopted various methods to severely weaken the military power of the seven great families outside the Pass. The armies of the Zhao family and the Han family were wiped out, and the original troops were transferred to the Nanman defense line. The Nanman defense line eliminated the Qi and Qin families and merged with the Qi and Qin families outside the pass.
Today, outside the Yumen Pass, the three armies of "Hu Ben", "Blood God" and "Iron Eagle" are the forces of the Qi, Qin and Chu families. The remaining three armies of "Yumen", "Qingting" and "Yanran" are all It was the "princeling" force at that time. Huo Wuji and the other two marshals were warriors from poor families who had been personally supported by the princelings.
The armies of the Qi family and the Qin family have been standing outside the pass for the longest time. They now have the two most elite armies in the kingdom, the "Hu Ben Army" and the "Iron Eagle Army".
The Chu family was the number one overlord on the southern barbarian defense line a long time ago, commanding an army of three million. Because it was too powerful, the "overlord's army" at that time was greatly reduced in number and sent outside Yumen Pass to serve as the cannon fodder at the forefront of retaking Yumen Pass. , and ended up lying with millions of corpses, and almost collapsed. It was not until decades ago that they recovered their strength and rebuilt themselves into the Blood God Army.
As for Han Yi, the general of the Sixth Army outside the Pass, he is usually equivalent to a puppet who does nothing. Apart from a little private army, he has not even half of the military power.
Huo Wuji and others have been supported since Ji Yingou's period as the crown prince. They are no longer humble warriors. In more than ten years, they have established a group of new family forces outside the customs that are absolutely obedient to the royal family. They have more than three powerful troops. The family currently has only a few more armies, which are called the "New Three Armies".
In the past ten years or so, the armies of the three major families have been entangled with the "New Three Armies". Although the latter has many people, its foundation is not deep. Even like the Yumen Army, which is in the rear, it has fewer opportunities to make meritorious deeds and is still in the process of being annexed. the edge of.
Qi Ying has been taught by Xuan Yu since she was a child, "When something goes wrong, there must be a monster. When an unusual thing happens, it depends on who the final beneficiary will be."
It is clear.
If the children from the royal capital marry with people from the "New Three Armies", on the one hand, it will allow the big family to regain more military power, and on the other hand, it will also consolidate the status of the "New Three Armies" family power, which is equal to both. Everyone can benefit to some extent.
but.
The biggest beneficiary is the royal family!
After all, it is not a long-term solution to let the six armies fight independently. The only thing the royal family can fully control is the "new three armies". If they can be united, the six armies can all be controlled by the royal family.
"Everything is in the service of politics..."
While the young masters and young ladies were reciting poems, seeking pleasure, and teasing each other, Qi Ying thought deeply and finally analyzed the situation roughly. After thinking about it carefully, it was completely reasonable.
It's scary to think about it.
Many people in the kingdom say that the king is mediocre, but a person who has lived in seclusion for a long time and only knows how to write and write can control the seven major families, countless families, and warriors at the palm of his hand. This kind of ability, let alone "mediocre", I am afraid there is no one in the world. People can be called "able".
"Why does everyone want to make big news these days?"
However, Qi Ying doesn't care much about what the king wants to do.
What aristocratic family, family, these things give me a headache just looking at them, even if they don't get involved, if I focus on improving my strength, I just want someone who can be with my sweetheart for a long time and not be bullied by others.
Now.
Just keep your head down and eat.
Qi Ying devoured the monster meat and exquisite dishes on the table, and drank a sip of wine from time to time. The energy in his body was full. While maintaining sufficient physical strength, he could even increase his cultivation level slightly.
but.
If you don't look for trouble, trouble will come to you.
Especially when the broom star has arrived.
At the beginning of spring, the crescent moon hanging in the night sky aroused the elegance of many young ladies in the royal capital. Led by the most talented Yan Beigui, everyone in the royal capital composed poems and rhymes, expressing various complex expressions implicitly or directly. Rich emotions - to put it simply, one is to show off one's self to attract the opposite sex, and the other is to directly show favor to someone of the opposite sex at the table.
In comparison, the young men from outside the country who had been living in the desert were inferior in literary talent. A few young people from outside the country who were eager to express themselves scratched their heads and finally came up with a duel and a martial arts competition to add to the fun of the party.
Ji Luoxue smiled slightly: "Of course you can compete in martial arts, but don't use your spiritual power to avoid ruining the party. Just use moves to fight and hit the mark - I have long heard that the commander of the Yumen Army, Huo Wuji, once shocked the people outside the pass with his fierce punches. Luo Xue admires him very much, I wonder if Mr. Huo Baima can open his eyes to visitors from our royal capital?"
