Chapter 225-226 The battle in the Northland was completed in one battle [two-in-one chapter 6k ask for a monthly ticket]
Guangyue Mansion.
Guangyue Prefecture is located in the south of Daxia. It is less populated, surrounded by mountains and forests, and close to the sea. Most people make a living by hunting and fishing.
Because there are very few cultivated fields, the climate is humid and heavy, and people are prone to discomfort if they live there for a long time, so people in other areas of Daxia call it the land of the Southern Barbarians.
Liang Du had already arrived at Guangyue Mansion at this time. As soon as he entered Guangyue Mansion, he discovered that this place was indeed somewhat different from Yongning Mansion.
Although the climate of the two places is similar, the lives of the people here are slightly poorer.
Of course, the mental outlook of the people in Guangyue Prefecture is still good, mainly because the officials of Daxia in Guangyue Prefecture have never been lazy in government.
He had heard Du Zhishan talk about the conditions in various places in Daxia before, but when he arrived in Guangyue Mansion in person, he discovered that there were still some discrepancies between the situation here and what Du Zhishan knew.
The people's livelihood in Guangyue Prefecture is actually only slightly worse than that in Yongning Prefecture. After all, there are less cultivated fields here, but the people's lives are still decent.
After all, Guangyue Prefecture is mostly in mountains and forests, and there are a lot of prey in them, so the mountain people here are actually a little stronger.
Along the way, Liang Du passed through mountains and rivers, because his purpose was to find the reason why the long river of time in this world was cut off.
It's a pity that he still hasn't found anything yet. Until now, when he really stepped into the officialdom of Guangyue Mansion, he still didn't find anything.
At this time, there were not many people on the official road, and most of them were business people.
At this time, Liang Du raised his head and glanced at the blazing sun over Guangyue Mansion, and couldn't help but complain.
This is the time of the New Year, and this ordinary person almost died from the heat!
He was not in a hurry at this time, so he simply found a tea stall next to the official road, ordered a bowl of tea, and sat there to rest.
There were people at the next few tables, and they were business people at first glance. Liang Du, because of his sharp ears and eyes, heard their conversation and knew that they were going to the north to do business.
Dried seafood is not a treasure in Guangdong Province, but when it is shipped to the North, the profit has doubled several times.
Therefore, although it is difficult for these merchants to go to the Northland, there are still many people who are willing to go to the Northland to do business.
At this moment, there was a sudden sound of horse racing, and then a group of officers and soldiers were seen galloping on the official road and quickly disappeared.
Liang Du also saw the figures of the Ye Zhen Sizhen Guards among them, especially the flags on the leading flag soldiers.
Eight hundred miles urgent!
Liang Du was a little confused when he saw this situation. The only time he had seen the Eight Hundred Miles rush was when Chen Shizhong supported Yongcheng in the fight for the secret land.
What happened again?
Daxia would actually send out urgent information with such specifications?
Although Liang Du didn't know what happened, the merchants in the north were well informed. When they saw what had just happened, they couldn't help but whisper.
"Boss, it seems that the news we heard before is true. Should we wait a little later and wait until the situation becomes clear before going to the Northland to do business?"
"What the hell are you afraid of? This is Daxia. We, the people of Daxia, are just doing business. Why should we be afraid of military disasters?
Just listen to me and feel relieved, our business will not be affected.
You know, our Daxia border army will not let those barbarian bastards come in."
"You're right, brother, it's my fault, I'll punish myself with a drink."
"I'll punish you. This isn't alcohol. You kid is always so smart."
Then there was a burst of laughter and curses.
Listening to the conversation of the businessmen, Liang Du probably understood what was going on.
Why is there trouble in the North?
However, it has to be said that the pride of the people of Daxia can be felt all the time.
Although they knew that the war in the North was coming, they were very confident that this war would not affect the lives of the people in Daxia.
Otherwise, they would not be so calm and decide to continue traveling north for business without any worries.
In fact, the reason for this is because of Daxia's prestige over the years.
No matter how cruel the war was, it was kept out of the border by Daxia and would never affect the lives of the local people in Daxia's territory.
Thinking of this, Liang Du suddenly became interested. Guangyue Mansion was safe now, and he would have plenty of opportunities to come back in the future.
However, there was a conflict between the Northland and the barbarians, and it seemed that the conflict was not small. After all, the Eight Hundred Miles Express was out.
From this, we can see that the war in the North may be about to break out, and you can go and see what it is like.
Thinking of this, Liang Du put down a few coins on the table, stood up and walked out.
At this time, the merchant next door finished his tea and looked up, only to find that the scholar who had just left had disappeared on the official road.
In this short time, a big living person just disappeared?
A chill can't help but rise up the spines of his descendants. It is rumored that many people have died in this officialdom, and there are many innocent souls.
Thinking of this, he immediately reacted and urged everyone to set off immediately.
People who are doing business still have some belief in such strange things. After all, they are all people who travel long distances to make a living, so they should have taboos in their hearts.
…
Daxia, Kyoto.
At this moment, the palace hall was already very lively.
From time to time, you can hear a few shouts and curses.
"They are just barbarians, but they dare to invade our border in Daxia. Isn't this looking for death?
Your Majesty, I will go to the Northland now to see where this barbarian got the courage to come and cause trouble in our Northland?"
"Your Majesty, I also want to take a look. This barbarian must be killed at once. Otherwise, over time, their scars will heal and they will forget the pain."
There are many voices mixed in, but most of them want to fight.
These barbarians are roaming around in the north, and they don't take them seriously at all.
Decades ago, in the Northern War, although Daxia won, many generals were still feeling angry.
Now that they can openly take revenge, how could they not want to?
However, some people felt that these generals were too rude, and a dispute at this time would be detrimental to the entire structure of Daxia.
The military commanders and civil servants all wanted Daxia to prosper, but when it came to the barbarians, they had different opinions.
Some people want to implement a soft policy, while some people want to settle things once and for all.
At this time, an impressive civil servant came out and said respectfully:
"Your Majesty, this battle must be fought, but we cannot tell the generals to just kill this barbarian.
After all, they occupy a share of the luck of this world. If it is true as the generals said, wouldn't it be an advantage to the demon clan if they were exterminated?
In my opinion, we should mainly implement a gentle policy. Of course, they will also be punished. After all, Daxia cannot be violated.
However, you can't just beat them to death with a stick. It's better to give them a big stick and a sweet date.
As long as they surrender to me, Daxia, in the end, that's fine. This is a better result for us, Daxia."
"fart!"
As soon as Wen Chen finished speaking, a military general jumped out.
"Old man Ge, that's what you said decades ago. At that time, many of my good men died. Do you still have a conscience?
It has only been a few years now, and the barbarians are making a comeback again, just because of the bullshit opinions of you sour scholars.
Otherwise, if we had caught them all in one fell swoop, why would we still be in trouble now?"
When the civil servant heard this, he was not angry, "So what if the barbarians are wiped out? It is impossible for Daxia to increase its territory with the power of Jiuding.
If they do this, won't they give all the barbarous lands in the north to Shiwan Yaoshan?
Furthermore, now, not before, the demon clan has re-emerged.
Although the barbarians are vulgar, they are still considered human beings, and their luck can affect the demon clan.
After all, the origin of the totem back then was that they were connected by cause and effect. This time the barbarians dared to invade our country again, it was definitely the monsters who were behind the temptation.
What we have to do is to thwart the demon tribe’s conspiracy, instead of focusing all our attention on the barbarians, which is really short-sighted.”
"You're farting again! Are you saying that we warriors just want to watch the barbarians wreak havoc in the North?"
"Of course I don't mean that. I want us to severely crack down on anyone who invades Daxia.
After all, only by hitting them directly can they know the pain. The only thing I object to is the generals' theory of genocide.
In our current situation, we must allow the barbarians to continue to survive.
Instead of simply killing, let the demon clan gain more luck, after all, the real person has awakened now, and cannot be so reckless."
At this moment, arguments continued in the court hall, and the military generals finally wanted to settle things once and for all.
As for the increased luck of the demon race, then there is nothing to worry about.
At worst, we will fight again. The Daxia army has never been timid.
Just because of the Northland War decades ago, they were in too much pain.
When they think about the situation back then, they feel sorry for those frontier soldiers who died in vain.
Back then, if I hadn't listened to the opinions of these rotten scholars, maybe I wouldn't have been so aggrieved that time.
It will not make those good men feel despair, let them dishearten and return to their fields.
The vulgar language of the military generals was flying in the court hall at this moment, and the civil servants who listened could not help but frown.
These reckless men!
At this moment, a white-haired old man on the left suddenly opened his eyes, and in an instant, the entire court fell silent.
Even those vulgar generals seemed to have been forced to shut up, and everyone looked at the white-haired old man.
They are not afraid of civil servants, they are afraid of this old man.
The expressions of the military generals clearly seemed to be a little panicked. After all, since this person was taking action, they did not dare to speak out loud.
"Lieutenant, what do you think?"
At this time, a voice sounded from the dragon throne.
Looking up, I saw a heroic middle-aged man, with a gleaming light under his sword-shaped eyebrows and between his eyes.
Just a simple look at it makes people feel that it is precious.
This is the Great Xia Saint today!
The civil servants also breathed a sigh of relief at this time. The Taiwei took action and should be able to silence these generals.
With everyone watching, the Taiwei said directly, "Your Majesty, I think these barbarians should disappear!"
"What!?"
Suddenly, the entire court was in an uproar.
How is this possible?
Why is the captain so unwise!?
Even the top civil servant on the right, the current Dazai, opened his eyes and looked at the Taiwei, as if he understood what was going on.
When the generals heard this, they were surprised. They did not expect this result.
For a moment, their faces turned red. It was a pity that the Taiwei had just come out and blocked them from talking. Otherwise, they would have been shouting with joy.
But although they couldn't speak, their eyes were filled with excitement.
Some even raised their eyebrows and glanced provocatively at the civil servants.
Did you see that this time, the captain said he wanted to fight?
Suddenly, the entire court was once again in chaos because of the Taiwei's words.
The civil servants did not expect that the Taiwei would support the generals. After all, Daxia was still executing its previous plan and could not easily use its national power.
But the Taiwei actually said that if we eliminate the barbarians at this time, wouldn't we give the demons a chance?
What the hell is going on?
For a moment, because they couldn't figure it out, they couldn't help but look up to the right to look at Dazai, thinking that he would open his mouth to refute what the Taiwei said.
However, the Dazai did not move at all, leaving Wenchen helpless and not knowing what to do.
Finally, the Emperor of Daxia asked, "Lieutenant, why is this?"
"Master said so."
As soon as the word "master" came out, the whole court fell silent, and the matter was finalized.
Sure enough, a voice came directly from the dragon throne:
"Then just follow what the captain said."
For a moment, although the civil servant was excited and puzzled, he also knew that the master's words could not change the result no matter what.
The military generals held their heads high and chest high at this time, and had only one feeling——
Cool!
As the court meeting ended, the Taiwei strode out of the hall without even looking at the others, without even the slightest pause.
The military generals hurriedly followed up, beaming with joy. Today was really a boost of morale. These civil servants are learning to be on the safe side day by day.
Do they know that the border officers have been holding back their anger for decades!?
How dare a mere barbarian dare to challenge me, Daxia!?
At this time, the civil servants had already gathered around Dazai.
"Master Dazai, did Master really say that? Why didn't you give us the news in advance? This is really not prepared at all."
Dazai looked at the ministers around him and sighed, "Actually, I don't know the news either. Master didn't send a message to me."
"What!?"
The civil servants couldn't help but exclaimed in surprise.
Dazai didn't receive the message from his master. This is impossible.
Dazai, the head of the civil service; Taiwei, the head of the military generals.
When the Master sends a message, he will usually send it to the Dazai first, and only when it involves military generals, the Taiwei will be notified.
However, such an important decision regarding the war in the North was not notified to Dazai. Instead, a message was sent directly to the Taiwei.
The hidden meaning contained in this made the civil servants a little panicked. Did they do something recently to anger the master?
Seeing that these civil servants were confused, Dazai coughed and then said:
"Don't think too much. It has no purpose. Just do your own thing well. Daxia won't cause chaos."
"Yes, Dazai-sama."
The civil servants immediately felt a little more at ease.
Everything they did was for Daxia, how could Master have any objection to them?
It seems that, as Dazai said, this time it was because the military commander was involved in the border war, so Dazai did not get the message.
Just as everyone was leaving the hall while talking, suddenly, a commander of the imperial army came towards them.
"Master Dazai, the Holy One has summoned you."
"Excuse me, Commander, to lead the way."
Dazai didn't ask any questions and directly followed the commander of the imperial army.
When the other civil servants saw this, they all had their own thoughts, and they didn't know what was going on when the Holy One summoned Dazai alone at this time.
…
The Hall of Nourishing Heart.
The Emperor of Daxia has only one title, Emperor Xia!
There are no other titles.
As long as the new emperor ascends the throne, they will only be called Emperor Xia.
This was the rule after the establishment of the Great Xia Dynasty.
At most, they can be distinguished by their year number.
When Dazai arrived at the Yangxin Hall, he found that the Taiwei was also there. They both raised their heads and glanced at each other, then knelt down on both sides without speaking.
As for Emperor Xia, he is writing at the moment.
Suddenly, Emperor Xia put away his writing brush, and then the two internal officials beside him carefully unfolded the scroll, only to see four big words on it:
I am the only one!
The Taiwei and Dazai looked at each other with their eyes and noses, and their noses and minds, without saying a word, and the atmosphere was somewhat silent for a moment.
I saw Emperor Xia smiling heartily at this time, "Taiwei, Taizai, what do you think of the word "I"!?"
"The writing is extremely domineering, which is rare in the life of an old minister."
Dazai spoke directly, without any flattery between his eyebrows.
The Taiwei just said four words lightly, "Majestic and majestic!"
Emperor Xia couldn't help but smile again when he heard the two people's comments.
Then, he suddenly stopped laughing, looked at the two of them and said: "Master sent me a message yesterday that the Northland is not peaceful, and it is necessary to destroy the barbarians in the Northland instantly.
I'm actually a little confused. Thirty years ago, the situation in the North was even more severe than it is now. After all, the internal troubles have not been eliminated. But at that time, Master asked us to treat him with kindness, so why are we giving such instructions this time?"
He looked at Taiwei and Dazai with sharp eyes, obviously wanting to know the answer.
The Taiwei stood up at this time and said, "I have really gained something, so I will speak directly.
Thirty years ago, the world's highest combat power was no more than a Japanese traveler. Even though its power was infinite, its destruction was limited.
Besides, the demon clan was dormant at that time, so Daxia could let them continue to exist.
Because there are enemies, we can maintain momentum and not fall behind.
However, the situation is different now. After the secret land of Yongning Prefecture's Blessed Land level is opened, the whole world situation is different.
I'm afraid both the Yin Division and the Monster Tribe have masters in the real-life realm, so the high-end combat power is different, and the methods of dealing with them are also different.
Since Master said this, it means that what the barbarians did this time has touched the foundation of our Daxia, so we have such an order."
Upon hearing this, Emperor Xia did not comment on whether it was right or wrong, but looked at Dazai.
"Dazai, what do you think?"
Dazai smiled softly.
"Actually, if it hadn't been for some problems we had, I'm afraid there wouldn't have been any trouble in the Northland.
But things have happened, and we can only make up for these mistakes. Fortunately, in the past thirty years, everyone in the court has worked together and no mistakes have been made.
However, Master has already said this, so it can only be said that the demon clan must have done something behind the scenes to offend Master."
Dazai did not continue what he said next, but Emperor Xia obviously understood this.
He pondered for a while and said, "Lieutenant, it's up to you to send troops and generals this time."
"I will live up to my trust."
Next, the entire government office in Kyoto started operating in an orderly manner, and the people also knew the subsequent decisions.
Destroy the barbarians and achieve victory in one battle.
The whole people were excited.
In today's world, only the people of Daxia have this confidence.
Those human races outside of Daxia are just barbarians, so they should be remembered but not beaten!
If we only deal with them once, I'm afraid there will be fewer wars in the Northern Territory of Daxia.
The Taiwei was dispatching troops and generals at the Ministry of War. The generals were red-faced because they wanted to go to the north.
If I don't go this time, I'm afraid the barbarians will be wiped out. If I want to meet the barbarians again, I don't know if I have a chance.
On this day, Daxia Kyoto was in a state of excitement.
Daxia is about to go on an expedition!
…
Northland.
At this moment, the barbarian alliance has set up endless tents. It seems that they are determined to confront Daxia this time.
In the throne tent, there was a lot of people drinking and drinking, and it was full of excitement.
"Khan, we have not had any friction with Daxia for thirty years. Isn't it a little hasty that we choose to attack Daxia this time?"
At this time, the person speaking was a tribal leader, but before he finished speaking, another tribal leader slapped the table.
"Coward! This time I, the Mondor tribe, will serve as the vanguard. The bravest warrior in the North is me, Mondor!"
After saying that, he directly picked up a wine jar, poured it into his mouth, and tore a roasted lamb leg, which was extremely barbaric.
In an instant, there was a burst of chuckles in the entire tent.
Khan did not smile, as if to ease the embarrassment, "This time, we have the support of the totem god, Daxia will be defeated.
Everyone can rest assured that beautiful Daxia has opened its arms and is waiting for our favor."
When the Khan said this, the person who spoke immediately shut up. If he continued to speak, he would probably offend everyone.
The excitement in the tent lasted for an hour before the tribal leaders gradually dispersed.
The Khan, who was lying drunkenly on the throne just now, suddenly opened his eyes at this moment. There was no hint of drunkenness in his eyes, and he was extremely sober.
However, he was not as confident as before, and his brows couldn't help but knit together.
The war thirty years ago might not have been so tragic if Daxia had not had to deal with emergencies within its borders.
This time, he actually had no confidence. To him, Daxia was an invincible existence.
However, he couldn't help himself.
The awakening of the tribal totem has forced him to obey orders. Otherwise, those who disobey might disappear.
Fortunately, as the king of the North, the demon clan treats him differently.
This time, not only will the demon totems support them, but there will also be other allies. The Yinsi will be on the same united front with them as they were thirty years ago.
In fact, the support this time will be greater than that of thirty years ago, which also gives him some confidence.
I hope that this time, their invasion of Daxia can be successful, otherwise, I don’t know how much price they will pay.
…
Northland border.
At this moment, Liang Du stepped onto the vast grassland and looked at the vast and beautiful scenery, feeling proud in his heart.
However, the weather on this grassland is still a bit cold. After all, the Chinese New Year has just begun, and the weather here is far from the time when spring flowers bloom.
However, when we got here, Liang Du walked along and solved some wandering souls, but the more he walked, the more strange he became.
There is no atmosphere of war here at all. Could it be that the previous information error was simply an oolong incident?
It wasn't until he met a caravan that he realized that he had gone to the wrong place.
The North Land mentioned before was where the barbarians from the Hundred Thousand Demonic Mountains were located, but the place where she was now was the northern grassland.
They both belong to the north, but one is to the east and the other is to the west. Fortunately, a passing merchant told him that although there was movement among the barbarians in the north, there had been no handover between the two armies.
Moreover, he also received news that the war level in the northern border seemed to be a few points higher than before.
Even the support team was huge, which made Liang Du have to wonder, is Daxia trying to make a big move this time?
Or could it be said that Daxia has greater ambitions this time when facing the war in the North?
Thinking of this, Liang Du couldn't help but speed up his pace, and went straight up the ladder with all his strength. In a short time, he arrived at the border of Shiwan Demon Mountain.
