Absolute protagonist

In March, the fourth year of Jianping.

The world is at war, and the five princes form an alliance to fight against the tyrant. After dozens of battles, large and small, and lasting several months, the five armies finally met at the foot of Yongjing City and completely surrounded Yongjing City.

The black army was like a black tide, covering all sides of Yongjing City. The continuous tents in the middle of the night surrounded the entire city like dormant monsters.

Bundles of torches lit up in the night, illuminating the ancient city walls, which were stained with blood. The arduous attack during the day was over, but the permeating smell of blood and chilling atmosphere lingered in the night.

This is already the seventh day after the siege.

Previously, the coalition forces had conquered cities and territories all the way, and they were almost unstoppable. A large part of the reason is that the ordnance has been greatly improved with the help of Chu Si. For the same reason, the treasury is abundant and the morale of the army is strong. As for the cities conquered along the way, not only did their weapons fall behind, but their hearts and minds were divided, and there were many collaborators. It is no wonder that it was captured by the coalition forces.

Yongjing City is almost the hardest bone for the coalition forces to crack along the way. It is worthy of being an ancient capital for hundreds of years, with high walls and deep pools, making it easy to defend but difficult to attack.

The two sides faced off for more than half a month.

Due to Qu Yingfei's poaching operation before leaving, many generals of the northern and southern armies stationed in the capital were temporarily transferred to posts. Compared with his predecessor, his control and tacit understanding of the army were obviously insufficient. Rumors abounded in the army, and people's hearts were scattered. When the two armies clash, any flaw will be exploited by the enemy. Gradually, the northern and southern armies fell into a disadvantage. If it hadn't been for the strength of the city wall, it would have been defeated long ago.

royal palace.

In the magnificent palace, the palace lanterns change their brilliance, the dancers in gauze swing their soft moon limbs, and the sound of silk strings lingers in the bones. However, no one here was in the mood to appreciate it. Not only were the dancers walking stiffly, but the courtiers on both sides looked anxious, glancing upward from the corner of their eyes from time to time.

The young emperor sat lazily at the top, his eyes half-open and half-closed, faintly drunk. On both sides, the beauties hugged each other. One held a wine glass and fed it to the emperor's mouth with her own hands. The other, with her delicate hands, rubbed the emperor's shoulders and legs, serving him attentively.

The emperor glanced at the ministers casually, taking in the anxious faces of everyone, and always had a smile on his lips that seemed drunk but not drunk.

"Life is short, you should enjoy yourself in the moment. Why should you be in such a panic?" His lazy voice was full of meaning, and the rhythm of each word was very slow, "It's a pity, dear friends, you don't even understand such a simple truth. Impenetrable..."

The expressions on the faces of His Highness and his ministers became even stiffer.

Their situation at this time can only be summed up in one sentence - smiles on their faces and in their hearts.

...The emperor goes crazy every day, Yazi, who is not afraid of death at all, but they still want to live well!

While these people were complaining, someone hurriedly came to the palace.

"Report! Your Majesty! The reinforcements are being held back and cannot come to respond! There are only three days of food and grass left in the city!"

"Report! Your Majesty! The North Gate guard surrendered to the enemy and was killed on the spot! The situation at the North Gate is critical!"

"Report! Your Majesty! The north gate has been breached and the rebels have entered the city!"

In just one hour, three reports were sent in succession, and the situation became more critical each time. The faces of the officials in the palace became paler and paler, and by the end they had turned completely ashen-white.

It's true that no one thought about cutting off the tyrant's head and surrendering, but the imperial guards in the palace were under the control of the emperor, and the emperor's eyes and ears were all over the city. And this tyrant also has a hobby of killing people at will if he disagrees. No matter how many thoughts they have in mind, these ministers dare not act recklessly, lest they lose their lives before the coalition forces break through the city.

The emperor clapped his hands.

The door of the main hall was suddenly closed, the palace lanterns on both sides went out, and the flickering firelight illuminated his handsome, almost monstrous face.

He pushed Meiji away from his arms and stood up slowly.

"It's such a pity that the last drama in my life has to be staged with a bunch of idiots..."

The expressions of everyone present changed drastically, but the emperor waved his sleeves without hesitation, knocking over the palace lantern beside him, and the flames and lamp oil rolled down.

Outside the main hall, the guards who had received the order early threw out torches and kerosene in their hands.

For a moment, flames shot into the sky, and the entire Yongjing City was illuminated.

Jianping four years, late March and early April.

After half a month of siege, the coalition forces won a great victory and invaded Yongjing. The emperor and all his officials burned themselves to death, leaving only ruins of the palace that had been built for hundreds of years.

For a time, the five princes all sighed in unison. Their original ambition to enter the imperial palace was completely shattered. As for the jade seal passed down to the country, there was no trace of it.

At this time, the biggest enemy has been solved, and these people immediately look at their former allies differently. Even the atmosphere among the troops stationed in the five camps was no longer as harmonious as before, but instead became filled with an air of murderousness.

——This position of Lord of the World can only accommodate one person.

In the coalition camp, the five princes who had received the fruits of victory looked at each other in disbelief, and the atmosphere became strange for a moment.

At this time, the arrival of a stranger broke the solemn atmosphere. The person who claimed to be the messenger brought a special letter. It is still a thick silk book with a very familiar style.

Only then did they know that Chu Yuzhi, the master of Yulou, was actually giving advice to five people behind the scenes at the same time. It is a complete illusion that I think I am destined to be the one who is destined to be the one to be chosen by the talented and talented...

Before they had time to read more content in the letter, several people's expressions had become strange, and the first thought that passed through their minds was - it turns out that I am not the only one who has been valued by Mr. Chu orz.

In the inexplicable atmosphere of this Shura field, several people slowly unfolded a folded parchment scroll in a silk book.

A vast world map appeared in front of everyone. In this map, not even 1% of the area represented by the Yong Dynasty is represented, and there are large blanks on the edges of the map, showing that not all of the areas that have been explored have been explored.

——This map was drawn by Chu Si by himself, combining the oral narratives of the time-traveling women, the statements of merchants from various countries, and the vague maps they carried with them, taking into account the evolution of the times for thousands of years.

Looking at the instructions accompanying the familiar handwriting on the silk book, everyone in the camp could not conceal their horror, as if a frog in a well jumped out of the well for the first time and glimpsed the boundless sky.

Several people couldn't help but sigh: "I have never thought that the world is so big. Even my territory of Dayong is only a drop in the ocean..."

Suddenly, the ownership of Yongjing City seemed to become less important.

Looking at the sentences in the silk books, every word is put into their shoes, and it is even more pleasing to the eye.

——At this time, everyone is of equal strength. If they fight with each other, I wonder if they will have the chance to seize the world in their lifetime. Instead, they will plunge the people into the flames of war. It will be just the creation of another dynasty in the history of Qing Dynasty. They are no different from the countless founding kings.

But if they work together and head into the vast unknown world, they will not only be able to establish their own kingdoms and become kings in a larger land, but they will also be the most brilliant in history in the future.

The tense atmosphere in the camp gradually dissolved, and the fire of alternative ambition burned brightly in everyone's hearts.

Saibei.

The cold iron cavalry swept across the grassland like a torrent, and each tribe surrendered under the sharp blade, or was destroyed in a pool of blood.

After once again sweeping a small tribe, the army returned to the pass amid the cheers of the people in the city.

The general, who was full of evil spirits, took off his armor and transformed back into a noble man in splendid clothes and jade belt, like a romantic man intoxicated by the warm fragrance of soft jade.

Qu Yingfei went straight to a small courtyard in the city and immediately saw a young man lying on a soft couch in the courtyard doing nothing. Her green clothes were flowing, her untied black hair was spread freely, and her dark eyes were like stars on her face that was completely colorless, making it unforgettable at a glance.

Someone who seemed to be looking at the sky with nothing to do, but was actually immersed in analyzing the laws of time, glanced at him casually: "What happened?"

"I just received the news... The five people tested each other and found that they were evenly matched, so they stopped entangled. Instead, they began to concentrate on developing national power and sent caravans to foreign lands. It seems that your idea is about to come true..."

Qu Yingfei spoke slowly, then suddenly asked, "Did you have a similar plan when you persuaded me to come to Saibei?"

The young man on the couch didn't bother to get up and nodded without hesitation: "Yes, spreading thousands of miles beyond the border is better than spreading the civil war in the Central Plains to tens of thousands of families."

As for people from foreign lands, in this world, his identity is just an ordinary person in Dayong. His stance is different, so it is naturally impossible to protect them.

"I didn't expect that you actually succeeded." Thinking of the news he received after returning to the city, Qu Yingfei couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, "I had never thought of such a solution before... I originally thought Look at those people fighting like cockfights for the so-called emperor's position. By the way, guess who you really prefer?"

"Cough cough cough..." The young man let out a series of low coughs and turned pale again. But there seemed to be fire burning in his deep eyes.

He chuckled lowly.

"We, the people of Xia, were born with the same culture and race, so why should we fight with each other?"

Qingyue's voice sounded word by word, like cold rain washing the sky, revealing a different kind of purity, clarity and clarity.

"It is better to form a kingdom of brothers, open up more unknown lands, and conquer endless foreign lands for the people of Xia."

"——Let the sun and moon shine upon it, and wherever the rivers reach, it will be the land of summer."

The author has something to say: It is assumed that the first unified dynasty in this country was Xia, so it is called Xia people/Xia soil. Just like ancient Chinese people liked to call themselves Han people (the Qin Dynasty was too short and was not deeply rooted in the hearts of the people).

The author Jun belongs to the Han Dynasty school, and when reading historical novels, he prefers the great conquest genre.

I used to look at the Three Kingdoms and didn't understand it. So many princes were fighting for the Central Plains and forgetting about the threats beyond the Great Wall. As a result, the barbarians took advantage of the loopholes during the Wei and Jin Dynasties, and in the end the Five Husbands destroyed China. I feel very sad.

"Everywhere the sun and moon shine, and wherever rivers reach, is Han land."

This sentence feels very cool. It is not said by the ancients. It seems to be adapted by later generations based on some ancient sentences. Probably these original sentences:

"Book of the Later Han Dynasty: Biography of the Southern Xiongnu": "The Han Dynasty held the prestige and led all the nations. All the people who were illuminated by the sun and the moon were ministers and concubines."

"Historical Records: The Chronicles of Emperor Ku": "The emperor's irrigation system spread all over the world. Wherever the sun and moon shined, and where the wind and rain came, everyone obeyed."
