Realm of Power

Falcon Empire Calendar Five Years, Early Summer,

The contact between the Falcon Empire and the East Court of the Prairie Empire began with an inconspicuous conflict. At the time, both parties involved did not know that this contact between the two continents quickly promoted the process of history. Obaro The fate of the continent and that of the Central and Asian continents have changed because of this contact.

Inside the military tent of the East Courtyard, the commander of the Cang Army of the East Courtyard, Zhamu Hebi, was sitting in the military tent. Outside the military tent, the cavalry of the Cang Army were lined up in formation, with sharp scimitars in hand, forming a huge circle. 40,000 Slavic slaves Imprisoned in the middle, most of them were old, weak, women and children, huddled together The body is trembling. As long as there is an order from the military tent, 40,000 slaves will turn into 40,000 corpses, and the blood will wet the ground under their feet. It is called a natural fertilizer for wild weeds. News from the front line, 30,000 Slavs A mutiny before the battle caused the cavalry of the Mier tribe to break up and flee.

When the news came back, the legion commander Zhamu Hebi instead held a banquet in the military tent, which made all the Cang Army soldiers confused. Then the leader of the Mier tribe returned injured, and he knelt in front of the tent with blood all over his body to apologize. He was stabbed. Mu Bihe ordered that he be closely guarded.

Putting down the roasted lamb leg in his hand, Zhanmuhebi looked at the old man swaying down below. The battle situation ahead had reached his ears. The Mier tribe was defeated, and more than 30,000 slaves were rescued by the enemy. This made him He felt a little surprised. It didn't matter whether the slave died or not, but what was shown inside the long wall The combat power made him nervous. He knew the combat power of the Mi'er cavalry. In one-on-one combat, it was not inferior to the elite cavalry of the Cang Army. Since he could use 2,000 cavalry, the Mi'er cavalry was defeated and fled. , and few have returned so far, which is enough to prove that the combat power within the long wall should not be bad.

But the other party was actually willing to pay 100,000 gold coins for these slaves, which was too unexpected, and the person who came to negotiate turned out to be the Slavic old Jeffrey! The stubborn old chief was as solid as a stone. He is the spiritual support of many Slavs. If he had not considered this, Zhamu Hebi would have wanted to order the execution of this old man who always refused to kneel down when he saw him.

"Even if they are not enemies, they should not be friends. I don't know if you are lucky or if the other person is a stupid fool."

Zhamu Hebi sneered, looked away from the old man, and used a meat-cutting knife to disdainfully pick out the meat scraps between his teeth. 100,000 gold coins were exchanged for 40,000 Slavs, a very touching offer. Unfortunately, for us Dongting people, gold is the weight that prevents horse hooves from galloping. The scimitar wrapped in gold foil, no matter how sharp it is, is difficult to cut through the armor!

"Old Jeffrey, do you think gold should be placed in piles in the warehouse to look at for pleasure, or after cutting off your head? Let the craftsmen melt the gold foil into the wine glass to decorate the edges, and take it during the banquet. It will be more effective when it comes out." The sound of combining wood and jade echoed in the military tent.

"Haha!" The other Cang Army generals burst into laughter at the same time, their laughter extremely wild.

"The skull wine glass decorated with gold! You think too highly of me." The old man raised his head with a pale face, in front of many people in the East Courtyard. Neither humble nor arrogant, with only a hint of anger flashing in his eyes, he knew what it meant to be a perfect match, and Slavs were not always a mess.

Fifty years ago, a hero named Bilis was born among the Slavs. Bilis was the heir to a large Slavic family. He showed convincing courage and wisdom since he was a child. At the age of thirty-four, he led the Slavs to fight against the Gauls and became a hero spread throughout the Slavic tribes. At the age of forty-six, he was unanimously elected as the King of Slavs by all tribes and was designated as King of Slavs. domusklen,

It was the most prosperous period of the Slavs. In those 10 years, the Skren Dynasty went south to attack northwest Gaul three times. The Gallic Empire also lost its armor and armor. In the end, the Gallic Empire had to strengthen the northwest and began to There was a confrontation that lasted for half a century, but it was also in those 10 years that in the eastern part of Moskelen, because it was located in the connecting area of ​​the Slavic region, the steppe region and the Central Biya region, goods traveling from east to west flowed into the Central Biya region. A large amount of iron ore allowed the descendants of a prairie gold family to rise rapidly.

In a duel between heroes, one of them is destined to fall.

Forty years ago, the horseshoes of the steppe cavalry became stronger and finally destroyed the dynasty that made all Slavs feel glorious.

The skull of the heroic Slavic king has become the golden goblet in the hands of the steppe Khan. That blow had a great impact on the Slavs. Since then, the Slavs have been unable to recover and were raided by steppe cavalry every year. Finally, they were forced to The westward migration has become a mezzanine zone between the two major forces of the East and West. The Slavs have millions of people, but they are still like weeds in the wind. Anyone can cut off a piece of them. It is really disheartening.

"Haha, I know you are not afraid of death!" Zhamu Hebi waved his hand, and the generals stopped and whispered.

"But that doesn't mean you can sacrifice at will!" Zhamu Bihe looked at the old man and decided to test the old man's determination. He curled his lips slightly and used the thin meat cleaver to cut off the golden tender meat on the lamb leg. "Give you a chance, use your head and Gold coins in exchange for the 40,000 slaves who are about to be killed. To be honest, they will They have been very kind to me until now. Originally, I was planning to push them all to the long wall, peel off their skin and bones one by one, cut off their limbs, and let the wailing sound last for three days and three nights, so that you Slavs Take a good look at how your loved ones died in pain."

"Okay, I promise to trade my head for them." The pale-haired old man smiled without any hesitation. "It's not bad for an old man like me to have this honor. Unfortunately, I heard that the golden skull wine glass only has sweat." Only the king can possess it. If this is the case, you should let go of all the Slavs, so that you will not face a war from two directions."

"A war in two directions? Haha... This is the funniest joke I have ever heard. What a loud tone. Do you really think the people within the long wall can help you?" Zhamu Hebi's face was slightly cold. , the wine glass was placed heavily on the table. He was indeed ambitious. If it were normal, it would not be impossible to give up 40,000 slaves for 100,000 gold coins.

In the eyes of the people of Dongting, the value of a slave is not as much as that of an livestock, but it is different now. The disappearance of millions of Slavs has left a huge blank area. The fat man saw the huge opportunities contained in it and plunged into it. The same goes for Mu He Bi. The 20,000 Cang Army are all direct descendants of Mu He Bi.

His Royal Highness the Second Prince delivered a secret order to occupy the Slavic areas within three months, which made Zhamu Hebi feel a lot of pressure from the beginning. The second prince felt that it was difficult to win in the southward campaign, so he set his sights on the Slavic areas and asked Zhamu to Hebi led 20,000 Cang troops deep into the Slavic areas and tried his best to plunder the Slavic people, killing them all, burning them all, and robbing them all, thereby rapidly expanding his military power. Absorbing the tribe and poaching the huge financial resources of the other two princes was a partial sword. When everyone in the East Courtyard set their sights on Jinbili City, His Highness the Second Prince had already considered what to do after failure. After all, in On the grassland, it is the last word that everyone has a big fist.

But it is very sad for the combination of wood and wood to execute this order. 20,000 Cang troops faced against millions of Slavs, a huge disparity. When necessary, Zhamu Hebi even had the consciousness to fight to the death, but an unexpected surprise fell on him like the care of the grassland god.

In the spring of the Slavic region, Zhamuhebi set foot on the Slavic land with some resentful horse hooves and ran for two days in a row. Not a single Slavic tribe could be seen, and the Cang Army's advance was cautious and cautious from the beginning. Scouts must be dispatched every fifty miles, and soon it turned into an unscrupulous, large-scale search like a net, and the vast unclaimed land suddenly appeared in front of Zhamuhebi. Zhamuhebi was a little confused. He had been there before. The Slavs who had lived in this land for hundreds of years disappeared out of thin air as if they had been cast by magic.

According to the map left by the ancestors who had crossed it half a century ago, it took a month to cross the connecting area between the two continents. The ambition is also extending, and this place is far away from the control of the Dongting Empire. In the area, the land is ownerless, and the East Court is now beyond reach. The country is in chaos and turmoil. The battle between the three princes has already begun before they reach Jinbili City. All forces in the empire are busy fighting each other, and This place is simply a pure land outside the world.

This time I was reluctantly ordered to break away from the imperial border and march westward. I was taking huge risks. This was a fight to the death! Although Zamu Hebi is arrogant and cruel, he is not a fool. The old emperor of the empire was always hesitant about the Western Expedition because although the Slavs were not good at fighting, they still had millions of people.

Behind this area is another legendary continent, Oparo. In the oral tradition of the Dongting people, they called that continent "Gaul".

In the previous century, the brutal civil war on the grasslands led some tribes who lost the war to risk their lives and march westward to the Slavic areas to avoid being pursued by their enemies. It was these people who became the first group to cross the border. The forerunners of the two continents, most of the tribes None of them came back. Some people who were lucky enough to return brought news from the other side of the continent. People in the grasslands knew that the Slavs were not at the barren edge of this world. There was also a country occupying vast land at the other end of the Slavic area. great empire,

There are many towns and cities, full of gold and silver,

It is no less than the rich Zhongbia Empire in the south. Zhongbia means "wealth" in Dongting dialect, which is the Dongting people's name for the large empire south of the grassland. The climate in the south is warm and suitable, and the population is far more than The north is densely populated, and the economy and trade industry are also extremely developed.

All Chinese people are cowards!

This is what Dongting people are most accustomed to saying. For the prairie people who are used to talking with war horses and scimitars, most Central and African people cannot ride horses or wield swords. Their young people have always had a certain attitude towards warriors. This kind of contempt, soldiers are despised as "common men" in China.

Most people in Dongting can't imagine how such a race lives?

They don't need to ride horses, do they have to use their feet to travel across the vast territory? They don't graze livestock, and it is said that they even have big boxes that can be carried by four people. They can't see the vast sky and the long and pleasant green fields. They might be suffocated to death, but even such Central and Eastern countries have already become more mature on the grassland. Thousands of years of dynastic confrontation, the war between the grassland people and the Central Asian Empire The struggle is like the two ends of a bridge. When the grassland people were strong, hundreds of thousands of grassland cavalry once trampled their horses hard on Zhongbia, almost killing all the Zhongbia people. The rise of Zhongbia people At that time, he also used a million-strong army to fight the golden family, which was once powerful, into pieces.

if. . . Zamu Hebi's heart was churning. Ambition was like weeds, always growing unknowingly. When he found it, it was already over the mountains and plains and could not be driven away. After being out of the control area of ​​​​the Dongting Empire for a full month, Zamu Hebi's heart was filled with excitement. Already asking,

If you can stay here for a long time. If we can take over all the tribes, and if the time and place are favorable, we may not be able to set up a huge Khanate outside the framework of the East Courtyard, and I, combining wood and wood, will become the King of Khans!

"If you don't care about 40,000 slaves, just keep your head." Zhanmuhebi finally softened his tone, but the price has to be raised to 200,000. I know you must have a way to convince the other party. And please give me a message to the people within that long wall. A wall cannot stop the horses’ hooves in the East Courtyard! If you want to really get peace, the best way is to cooperate with me! I will give you 200,000 gold coins every year, and I guarantee your safety! Why, such a price is not expensive! "

"200,000 per year! Okay, I will bring it!" Old Jeffrey was stunned for a moment, stopped at the door of the tent, and turned around. He looked at Zhamuhebi with burning eyes and said, "When people get old, it is easy to forget. Fortunately. You just reminded me that the people inside the long wall also asked me to bring you a message."

"What are you talking about?" Zhamu Hebi's eyes narrowed slightly, and the wine glass in his hand made a clicking sound between his strong knuckles.

"The people inside the long wall said that the land of thousands of miles of fertile wilderness cannot be defended by 20,000 prairie cavalry!" Old Jeffrey disappeared, and only the sound of broken wine glasses sounded in the camp.

"It seems that I did meet an interesting guy!"

A minute passed. The wooden figure appeared at the door of the big tent, looking into the distance with some sinister eyes. Under his sight, the wilderness connected by the sky and the earth, the scorched earth villages left after being set on fire, and the towns were empty and deserted. The golden sunset shines down, and the ground is covered with weeds that grow up to the bare legs. The land is as beautiful as a picture scroll, and what flashes is ambition that is far greater than treasure.

In late May, reinforcements from Ikadiva arrived, including 30,000 infantry, 20,000 cavalry, and 10,000 central troops, a total of 60,000. The northwest coast's military strength quietly exceeded 200,000. Fat Man carved out a section behind the long wall. The area was used to house the 70,000 Slavs who had just been admitted.

Also during this month, in order to encourage the people to reclaim the extra wasteland in the northwest to achieve the goal of maintaining a long-term garrison of 100,000 troops, Fatty ordered people everywhere to mine the abandoned fields on their own. Whoever mined the fields would own the land. After the announcement, in order to obtain their own grain fields and land, various places were unprecedentedly active and put into production with great enthusiasm. Those farmers who were native to the mainland or were born as slaves suddenly obtained their own land overnight. They worshiped and appreciated the Falcon Empire beyond measure.

During this period, Duo Zai was the busiest. His Majesty Falcon had no objections to civil affairs such as who should own the land. He issued the decree just to save trouble and speed. As long as the landowners pay taxes on time, the local government can provide food and grass in a timely manner. But actually it's a different matter.

The land needs to be measured and confirmed, and there are even many places where fights have begun over land clearing. Pleading, stern requests, and threats hidden in the words, the owners of the land are looking at them like blowflies. The land surveyors chattered and buzzed around,

In the beginning, I got used to doing things myself. I was also interested in meeting complainants from all over the country, listening to their cries, and even shed a tear for them with sympathy. But no amount of sympathy can withstand such torment day and night. There are too many people from all over the world who come to see him.

Duo Ze soon discovered that if he continued like this, he wouldn't have to do anything and could just cry with them all day long. Moreover, many people's requests were beyond his ability. For example, there was a person who was not very clear-headed. The guy asked him to immediately send troops to expel a gang that had occupied his land. As a result, Duozhi took a look and saw that they were two rural women with their sleeves rolled up and reclaiming wasteland.

Moreover, with the purchase of some gold and silver and the appearance of beautiful and seductive surveyors, the turmoil caused by this land reclamation order began to attract the attention of the military. A report of more than ten points was sent to Fatty, who pushed it and threw it to Duoze, where There was a lack of personnel to choose from, and in the end I had to take action personally. , handled several influential incidents with thunderous means, and finally made the land measurement and confirmation regular. In the end, this politician full of justice could not help but ask himself, "There is nothing wrong with me, right?" Although the crime is heinous, it is not worthy of death, right?"

"Of course it's inappropriate, it's hugely inappropriate."

The fat man was immersed in reading the notice from the executioners without raising his head."

According to the rules, it disturbs people's hearts, and it has such a bad influence. It is too late to deal with it until now. If it is continued, it will only make the wound fester even more.

For example, look at this, using his power to play with a woman, a mother and daughter, tsk tsk, too. . . . A beast. If he had been executed earlier, he would not have caused similar incidents several times.”

"That……"

"Executed in the street! And all the officials nearby are required to watch together, otherwise the people will be uneasy." The corner of the fat man's mouth curled up slightly, and his tone seemed very unhappy. During the speech, the fat man never raised his head, so he could not see clearly. From her expression, she couldn't tell whether he was joking or serious.

At this moment, a young man from Dongting secretly walked into the long wall (to be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster!
