Choose three out of ten at the beginning, summon ten gods to dominate the other world

If the barbarian army attacks the southern courtyard of Liang State, Liang State will no longer have the energy to attack Xia State, and Long Tian can clean up Liang State at any time.

"By the way, which tribe of the barbarians attacked the northwest of Xia State?"

Long Tian suddenly thought of the Golden Phoenix. There are many branches of the barbarians, and the tribes that attacked the northwest are not the Chaerhan tribe.

"Your Majesty, it is the Barun tribe of the barbarians, a tribe that is more powerful than the Chaerhan tribe."

Balite is obviously more familiar with the situation of the barbarians.

"Tell me about the situation of the Barun tribe?"

Long Tian asked.

Following Balite's explanation, Long Tian roughly understood that in fact, everything else is not much different. The only difference is the population and military force. The Barun tribe has more and controls more small and medium-sized tribes.

"The Barun tribe can take out more than 2 million troops to attack Xia State. It seems that the pressure in the northwest is not small."

The territory, military force, and strength owned by the Northwest King Jin Chengye are not much different from those in the North.

200,000 Northwest Army, plus 50,000 Phoenix Army, and more than one million city guards, it should not be a problem to deal with the barbarians.

"Ballit, after this battle, no one in this area will be your opponent. Immediately notify all tribes to surrender. The tribal leader personally goes to the Ballit tribe to surrender, and takes poison to gather the armies of all tribes and the population."

Long Tian is determined to build a large tribe. The barbarian population is concentrated, and the biggest pressure is food, and Long Tian can solve this problem.

As long as all the barbarians are gathered, Long Tian can proceed with the next plan.

Another ten days have passed, and Long Tian has been staying in the Ballit tribe.

With Shadow, intelligence from all parties can be transmitted at any time. The situation in the North is stable. The confrontation in Baijiang City continues. The two sides have only fought two symbolic battles, and the North has not suffered any loss.

With Huo Qubing and others, Long Tian is no longer worried.

As for the Xia Kingdom, except for the news that the old emperor's condition has worsened, there is nothing else worthy of Long Tian's attention.

In the northwest, just as Long Tian expected, the Northwest King Jin Chengye mobilized all the troops he could mobilize to the front line. The two sides fought fiercely and suffered losses. Fortunately, there was no problem with the defense line and the barbarians could not break through.

The barbarians sent countless small troops to harass the northwest and robbed a lot of food. This is also the tactic used by the barbarians every time they launched a war.

The northwest, like the north, has only 50,000 cavalry. Even the Phoenix Army of the Golden Phoenix is ​​powerless to face so many small barbarian cavalry.

The final result is likely to be that the barbarians will withdraw their troops after grabbing almost all the food, leaving behind hundreds of thousands of corpses, and this year's offensive will end.

"Your Highness, the news came on the first day that the old emperor wants to choose a son-in-law for the seventh princess Xiao Qingya, and the time is set at the end of the year. The selected candidates are all princes and princes, descendants of aristocratic families, and descendants of sect masters. You are also on the list."

That day, Cao Zhengchun brought a piece of news that surprised Long Tian.

The seventh princess, Xiao Qingya, just turned sixteen today, and is of marriageable age. However, what Long Tian did not expect was that the old emperor would actually take such a measure.

"Your Majesty, it is said that His Majesty promised that as long as you become the seventh princess's consort, you can be granted a state of land, and you can choose from Qingzhou, Xingzhou and other states."

It is extremely rare to be granted a state of land. Even the Northwest King Jin Chengye did not get a state of land. It was only because he had been entrenched in the northwest for a long time, and his influence and actual strength were there, that Jeju became Jin Chengye's one-man show.

However, in name, Jin Chengye did not have the right to govern the entire Jeju.

"That's not right. What the old emperor wants to do most is to reduce the vassal state. How can he give up another state now? Even if he is old and confused, he should not do so."

Long Tian was puzzled.

"Your Majesty, this matter is indeed quite strange. This is the old emperor's own decision, and he did not consult with many ministers. Therefore, even Shadow No. 1 does not know the inside story of this matter."

How Cao Zhengchun reported.

"Number One doesn't even know, what on earth is this old emperor going to do?"

Long Tian was very confused, there must be a reason.

"Jia Xu, what do you think?"

Long Tian had only one counselor around him, so he could only ask him.

"Your Highness, the old emperor is dying soon, and he knows that there will be chaos in the world after his death. In my opinion, this move is quite a desperate move."

Jia Xu said.

"You mean the old emperor wants to trick the young generation of all the major forces to Kyoto, and then catch them all in one fell swoop and forcibly reduce the power of the vassal states?"

Long Tian said in disbelief.

"Your Highness, the old emperor will not and dare not kill people easily, but as long as he controls these young generations, it is equivalent to cutting off the foundation of each family. As long as he controls people in his hands, he can delay the civil strife in Xia. At least, even if there is chaos, he hasHostages. "

Jia Xu continued to analyze.

Control the heir, forcibly reduce the power of the vassal states before his death, and prolong the life of the Xia Kingdom. Perhaps this is the old emperor's plan.

Even if there are many people who oppose, the direct line of his family is in the hands of the old emperor, and they dare not rebel easily. Even if there are a few unscrupulous people, the old emperor must have the confidence to deal with them.

If this is not done, once the old emperor dies, the world will be in chaos. With the ability of the princes of the royal family, I am afraid they will not be able to defend this country.

"Although this move is risky, it is also a way to solve the problem. As long as the old emperor is fast enough, after collecting a few people and gathering the army, others who want to move will have to think carefully. "

Long Tian thought that the old emperor had some courage. To put it bluntly, people were going to die, so it was better to let go and do something big. Even if the situation was bad, it would not be much different from not doing it.

Even if the goal was not achieved, the outstanding second generation of these forces could be eliminated, so that they could feel sad, and it could be regarded as revenge for the chaos after death in advance.

No wonder this matter was not discussed with anyone. I am afraid that the second generation of those senior officials in the court were also in the calculations of the old emperor. After all, no one can ignore the land of a state.

Nowadays, the top second generations in the world have lofty ambitions. Who doesn't envy Long Tian's prestige now? A waste who doesn't know martial arts can do this. If it were me, I might not be able to fight for the world.

It is precisely by taking advantage of this mentality that even if someone doubts it, I will participate.

"Your Majesty, you can't avoid this matter. It happens to be the end of the year, and you still need to attend the ceremony of crowning the king, which is the focus of attention from all parties. This time you are bound to stand at the cusp of the storm and become the target of these second generations. "

Jia Xu said, although he knew that Long Tian did not want to get involved in these things, he was afraid that he could not avoid it, and he could not avoid it. Long Tian also needed this righteousness. A state of land, even if it was only nominally obtained, was very important.

As for marrying a princess, it was not important.
