Realm of Power

The sun was shining brightly outside the window, and the blue bay in the distance seemed to be dyed with a layer of gold. The sea and sky were the same color, and white seabirds were circling. Inside the hall, because of Konoe's words, it suddenly became a bit colder. Lu Yangyu His eyes flickered, his thin and steady figure revealed a faint coldness, and his lips parted "Your Majesty, the account book we copied from the Wu family contains records of a batch of three thousand sets of infantry armor from the Long family. The Wu family was destroyed, and this batch of infantry armor is in our hands. According to the arrogant and domineering military character of the Long family, , how could it be possible to swallow such a loss? It’s not surprising that the Long family would come to visit, "

"Three thousand sets of armor are not many, but for the current Long family, it is not a small number. What surprised me is that the person who came was actually the head of the Long family. It can be seen that the current situation of the Long family is terrible. It's quite bad." After hearing Lu Yangyu's words, the fat man narrowed his eyes slightly, his pupils shone like stars in the night sky, and a pressure spread out.

"Your Majesty, if Long Po comes to your door yourself, why don't you just stay in Longchang..." Lu Yangyu's face was cold.

"I know what you mean, but Long Po can still die now!"

The fat man looked helpless, let out a long sigh, and said with a wry smile, "If we attacked and killed Long Po half a year ago, even if you didn't tell me, I would have immediately ordered the army to enter the city. But now, not only can't we kill Long Po, We can’t let anything happen to Long Po.”

"why is that?"

Lu Yangyu was confused when he heard this and looked confused. Didn't the empire and the Long family fight several times? Long Po, a famous general in Central and South Africa, has always been the most troublesome character for the empire. This time he was put on the knife's edge, which was simply a God-given opportunity. Now the entire Six Cities Port is under the coverage of the empire, no matter how powerful Long Po is , as long as the emperor gives an order and tens of thousands of imperial troops enter Longchang, even if Long Po has three heads and six arms, he will only die.

"It's just that the situation has changed. The purpose of killing Long Po before was to prevent the Long family from seeking the kingship of Zhongbia. But now, killing Long Po now only allows the Zhongbia court to take advantage of it!"

The fat man smiled, looked out the window, and explained in a solemn voice, "At that time, Long Po had ambitions for China and Bia, and even wanted to aspire for the kingship, but was suppressed by the empire several times, but now, Long Po It has become impossible to aspire to the royal power. Under the coercion of the court and the emperor, he has embarked on the road of self-reliance in one fell swoop. Such In other words, Long Po's style of acting based on the interests of the Long family is very consistent with the requirements of the empire. As long as the empire can pay enough, the Long family doesn't even mind becoming a sword of the empire. Since the Long family has decided to live in seclusion, Once again, there was no need for us to force the Long family to jump over the wall, and in the end, the Zhongbia court took advantage! "

"That's it, my subordinate understands"

Lu Yangyu's stunned face revealed a look of sudden realization. He lowered his head and secretly breathed a sigh of relief. There was a blur of moisture in his eyes, which was tears.

Don't look at Lu Yangyu's murderous intention towards Long Po, and even immediately advised the emperor to kill Long Po. In fact, in his heart, as a Central Bian who returned from the Yelujia area on the grassland, he felt very sorry for Long Po. true admiration

The grassland people went south, and the hundreds of thousands of troops in the court were defeated. In panic, the emperor once again left everyone behind and fled, pushing hundreds of thousands of Linhang people to the butcher's knife of Yeluguda as the beginning of the massacre. A person who witnessed it, one of the many slaves who was finally brought back to the imperial capital by the Yelu family

During that period, Lu Yangyu's whole spirit collapsed. From Linhang to Dijing, in addition to being devastated, there were countless corpses of Central Asians along the way. It is conservatively estimated to be more than 300,000.

Only a small number of them were killed by the Yelu family. After all, under the force of the grassland people, there were only a few Central Bians who dared to resist. The bloody ones were already dead when the Yelu army entered Linhang. The rest Most of these people dare not resist

But the number of deaths is increasing instead of decreasing, and a large number of people are dying every day

At first, the grassland people asked the Central and African people to restrain themselves, but later they simply didn't bother to care. Too many people died. If it wasn't winter, there would be a great plague. There were so many corpses dragged casually to the roadside, like weeds. The same thing was piled up, and when the ice and snow blew, the big lumps of ice became numb after seeing them too much. They were not killed by prairie people, but by suicides, who committed suicide out of despair.

Because there was no hope for the Zhongbia court and he was full of resentment towards the Zhongbia emperor, he committed suicide. There were even various rumors at that time that after the Yelu family conquered Linhang, the army swept across southern Zhongbia, and various places surrendered without resistance. Soon the entire south of Zhongbia will be included in the territory of the Yelu family. Zhongbia is no longer able to stop it. Zhongbia, which has been inherited for thousands of years, is completely over.

Not only others think so, but also Lu Yangyu, who is a high-status official in the court, also thinks so. Even Lu Yangyu thought of martyrdom for his country, but what happened was that the Southwest Long family bucked the trend and marched northward.

In the vast northwest, in the ice and snow, the army of the Long family surged, and hundreds of thousands of grassland people were beaten and had to flee into the wilderness of the empire. At the Yanzhou Army and Horse Farm, the bloody army of the Long family overturned the Yelu family at the height of their power. Not only did the Yelu family return to prosperity. Turned into decline, and even killed Yelvuguda

When such news came, the world was shocked, and the entire Zhongbia ethnic group suddenly became excited. Even if Dijing tried their best to suppress it, it was still unable to suppress it in the end. The number of Zhongbia people who became slaves in Dijing had significantly reduced the number of suicides. Even Lu Yangyu, who had already surrendered, After hearing the news, the old Central and Bian minister of the grassland people also cried all night long, almost crazy, until he cried until he coughed blood and fainted.

If you have not experienced the pain of national subjugation, you will not know how important the Long family is in the hearts of the Central Asian people under the rule of the grassland people. If it were not for the dirty experience in the imperial capital, Lu Yangyu would have wanted to abandon everything and join the dragon family. home impulse

Lu Yangyu once thought that even if he was just an ordinary infantryman of the Long family, at least he could hold a sword and fight for Zhongbia, he could straighten his body and see people, and he could face the sky of Zhongbia calmly. The earth, even if it reaches the underworld, can still be worthy of the questioning of the ancestors of the Lu family.

However, the situation was stronger than the people. No matter how strong the Long family was, they still did not step into the royal throne of Zhongbia. Even though Long Po led his army to sweep across the Yelu family in the northern grassland and brought dignity to the Zhongbia ethnic group, it was more than enough for him to ascend to the royal throne with prestige.

All it takes is the last step to lead the Central and Bian army to recapture the lost imperial capital, and then you can legitimately ascend to the throne of Central Bia. However, in the last step, everything was lost because of the sudden return of the Central and Bian emperor.

The Long family left for the southwest. Facing the Sino-Bian court that had returned to the status quo, Lu Yangyu no longer had any trust. At first, he was recruited by the Imperial Bank, which seemed helpless and self-defeating. But at this moment, Lu Yangyu felt lucky that he had surrendered to the Empire. , because the emperor of the empire, the emperor of the Western empire with a Central Asian face, was really too much for Lu Yangyu to feel any rejection from his heart.

Not only did he drive away the rich merchants of Aden who had been in Central Asia for decades with just a wave of his hand, he was as good as a lost dog, but he also showed the emperor's magnanimity in dealing with Long Po. Throwing the trash-like Emperor of China and Bia across dozens of streets, only such a person is worthy of becoming The emperor of the empire is the only one who is truly worthy of death for Lu Yangyu. As for the Lu family, being able to climb the big tree of the empire, not only did their reputation not suffer, but their status has been greatly improved in the near future. Many people originally looked down on the Lu family. The second-class wealthy family is also trying to please the Lu family with kind words at this moment.

Why? Just because behind the Lu family is the empire’s strongest trump card

For the vast majority of local wealthy families, it doesn’t matter who becomes the emperor, what matters is whether they can maintain the family’s status.

In this era when three-quarters of China's richest families are in turmoil and are on the verge of a major reshuffle, the Lu family can be said to have established a firm foothold in advance by relying on the Empire. Lu Yangyu has also become a senior executive of the Imperial Bank. This alone can guarantee that at least for the next twenty years, the Lu family will be on the rise. If you rely on such a Lu family, you will be on the line of the empire. Who doesn’t want to curry favor with them!

"Go and bring Long Po in." The fat man asked Lu Yangyu to see Long Po. A few minutes later, a steady sound of footsteps came closer from far away, and at the same time, a strong voice said, "Lu Yangyu, even if all three of you Lu family brothers are here, , I also want to say that if you don’t vomit out the belongings of my Long family, I will make the Lu family completely disappear from Liucheng Port, and you will also act out what you did to the Wu family."

"Master Long Po, I really can't take charge of your affairs. If you want to get back the Long Family's things, just go in by yourself." Lu Yangyu's deep voice also came over.

"Okay, let me see who has eaten the heart of a bear and the guts of a leopard, and even dared to swallow the things from my Long family!" The door to the room was violently opened.

In front of the window where the sunlight was shining down, a young man with black hair was looking at the dumbfounded Long Po with a half-smile, and said with a cold tone, "I don't like hearing this, Master Long Po? I am a bear-hearted and a leopard-coward." I haven’t eaten it, but I still dare to swallow the Long family’s goods.”

"you!"

Seeing the appearance of the black-haired young man in front of him clearly, Long Po's pupils shrank sharply, which contained too much confusion, disbelief, surprise, and even fear.

"Why are you here? You shouldn't be here!" Long Po said in a messy tone, pointing forward and standing at the door. His eyes as big as copper bells were filled with expressions of disbelief. That feeling was like It was a bulging ball that suddenly deflated.

"The head of the Long Po family can come, why can't I?"

The black-haired young man smiled nonchalantly, and his calm expression made Long Po feel even more weird.

The black-haired young man in front of him had an average appearance, and even because of his slightly chubby face, he gave people a sense of honesty and honesty. However, Long Po felt an uncontrollable pressure under the other person's gaze, and his previous momentum was gone. , the head of the Long family, who could face the earth-shaking charge of countless prairie cavalry without changing his expression, now had a face as pale as dirt, as if he had been holding back something.

"It's really you! I don't want anything from the Long family!"

Long Po took a breath of air, his face changed, and he turned around and left, obviously giving up hope.

He was really scared. The black-haired young man in front of him was definitely the person that the cunning and cunning Long Po didn't want to meet. In the first two meetings, Long Pokong had more than 100,000 people return to the army with just one sentence, but he couldn't come from the southwest mountain road. Run out and give the Song army a fatal blow, but go to fight hard at the waterway hub hundreds of miles away. Although Lichang gained the key strategically, he wasted the best time to attack and finally allowed the Song people to escape from under their noses. On the side of the river, this young man waved his hand again and made painstaking preparations. The Northern Expedition was wasted just because the emperor returned south. It was so frustrating to be unwilling to do so.

The entire Long family fought bloody battles for it. The bloody efforts of more than 100,000 warriors suddenly became in vain. In the end, the choice was to retreat to the southwest and embark on the road of independence of the Long family. Everything started from scratch. Who is the most fearsome? Long Po, the number one general in China and Libya, is unforgettable, then it is this person. If anyone can make him The head of the Long family felt nervous, so it was this person. As long as he saw him, nothing good would happen. Long Po retreated in his heart, and he knew very well that if this person appeared in Longchang, there must be heavy imperial troops in Longchang at this moment. On the side, if the opponent wants to kill him, it will be easy. If he doesn't run away, is he waiting to die?

"Now that he's here, why is Patriarch Long Po so eager to leave? There's a saying in China called the friendship of the landlord. Why don't Patriarch Long Po just stay!" How could the fat man let Long Po leave like this? He waved his hand at the door, and several fully armed guards were already standing at the door.

"Haha, it's really hot today. I'm so hot that I'm dizzy. I've forgotten that the empire has reconciled with the Long family. It's really an honor for me, Long Po, to be able to see His Majesty here!" Long Po's expression changed and he immediately changed his face. Turning around with a smile on his face, his face changed so quickly that it was shocking

"I heard that the three thousand auxiliary soldiers of the Long family were hacked. I don't know if it's true?" The fat man sat down on his seat, gently picked up the water glass on the table and took a sip. "Since the head of the Long Po family personally Come forward, you can still help. I will ask them to send three thousand auxiliary armors to the Long family."

"Is what your Majesty said true?" Hearing from the emperor's tone that he did not intend to kill him, Long Po's short and stocky body trembled slightly.

"Well, it's just our friendship with the generals of the empire. The Long family should also express it. Three thousand soldiers and armor, and one head. Would the head of the Long family dare to do it?" The emperor slowly put down the water glass in his hand and raised his head to look at Long Po, his sharp eyes are so sharp that it makes people feel chilly. Long Po is here to It was too timely. Since the great elder of Aden, Yaglen, had already begun to make arrangements to rob the Six Cities Port, he must have taken command personally. This cunning elder of Aden would never have thought that the southwest of Aden could not be beaten with eight poles. The Long family will intercept and kill him at Liucheng Port!

And if the Long family is responsible for this matter, then the Aden army lands in Central Asia, the only way for the Long family is to stand in the same camp as the empire! Kill two birds with one stone, why not!
