Chapter 215 Then let them feel the terror from Dali!
The Fire Worshiping Palace is located in the west of Dali, thousands of miles away from the western border of Dali, from the southernmost tip of Yuanzhou to the south of Liangzhou.
The entire Fire Worshiping Royal Court has a population of nearly 100 million and a territory of one million square kilometers. It is definitely the most powerful royal court among the countries in the Western Region.
About thirty years ago, the Fire Worshiping Court invaded the western border of Dali. At that time, the Fire Worshiping Court raised 300,000 troops and attacked the Dali border army from Lingweiguan in Yuanzhou all the way to the western area of Shuzhou.
, the garrison was retreating steadily and had the potential to invade the three states southwest of Dali.
At that time, the old emperor had just ascended the throne for more than ten years and had just stabilized the situation in the court. Facing the strong invasion of the Fire Worshiping Court, the old emperor was furious and summoned 300,000 forbidden troops and millions of civilians to march in person.
The two armies fought in the western Shuzhou and Yuanzhou areas for ten months, and finally the old emperor defeated the Fire Worshiping King's army at Jinyan Peak in the middle of Yuanzhou relying on geographical advantages.
At the beginning of July in the 14th year of Taketoku, the old emperor led the remaining 200,000 imperial troops out of Lingwei Pass and attacked thousands of miles until they reached the capital of the Fire Worshiping King, forcing the previous Fire Worshiping King to surrender and surrender.
It is a pity that the northern border was not stable at that time, otherwise the old emperor would definitely destroy the country by worshiping the Fire Court.
However, even if the Fire Worshiping Court did not destroy the country, it would still suffer a serious loss of national power and would not dare to provoke Dali again for decades.
But now, the old emperor has passed away, and the Fire Worshiping Court has restored its national power and is even stronger than before.
On the twentieth day of December in the forty-sixth year of Takeori.
The army of the Fire Worshiping Court once again came to Lingweiguan City.
The mighty army rolled in like dark clouds in the sky, and a solemn and murderous aura filled the sky and the earth, shrouding the sky above Lingwei Pass, making the soldiers at Lingwei Pass couldn't help but tremble.
Lingweiguan is located on the mountainside of Lingping Mountain. It is built against the mountain. It is low in front and low in the back. The city is eight feet high. It is easy to defend but difficult to attack. It is a first-class majestic pass in Dali.
There are 50,000 frontier troops in Lingwei Pass, and the leader is Dingyuan Hou Xue Yi, one of the Twelve Marquises of Dali.
At this time, Xue Yi, who was seven feet tall, was standing on the wall of Lingweiguan, overlooking the army of the Fire Worshiping Court that was gathering below.
Several generals wearing armor followed him, all showing heavy expressions.
"There's no news from the court yet?" Xue Yi said in a hoarse voice.
His eyes were filled with bloodshot eyes. He had not had a good night's sleep since he learned that millions of coalition forces from the Western Regions were about to invade Dali.
And now that the 300,000 troops from the Fire Worshiping Court were approaching the city, he couldn't even sleep.
Several generals shook their heads and could not say a word.
"Damn it! What are those old people in the court doing?" Xue Yi said angrily.
Three months ago, when he discovered that the countries in the Western Regions were gathering troops, he reported it to the court. However, the old emperor was busy dealing with the thieves on Xiaoyao Island and the Southwest Islands at that time, so he did not give him a clear reply.
.
After the old emperor passed away and Qin Wei ascended the throne, he began to make arrangements to deal with the countries in the Western Regions.
Although Qin Wei has ordered the imperial army to come to support, due to the long distance and dangerous terrain from Kyoto to Lingweiguan, Xue Yi has not received the order from the court until now.
The journey from Kyoto to Lingweiguan is seven thousand miles, and it has to pass through Shuzhou and Yuanzhou. The journey is extremely difficult. Even if it is an urgent transmission at the post station, it will take more than half a month to pass.
"Report!"
Just when Xue Yi was full of complaints about the court, a soldier quickly ran over.
"General, there is an imperial envoy from the court below the city, please see me!"
Xue Yi suddenly turned around, stared closely at the soldier who reported the report, and asked: "Where is the Imperial Envoy?"
"It's at the east city gate!" the soldier said.
Without saying a word, Xue Yi ran quickly towards the bottom of the city wall, and a group of generals nearby followed closely behind.
After a while, they arrived at the gate tower of the East City Gate.
At this time, all the four gates of Lingwei Pass have been closed, and no outsiders are allowed to enter.
Standing in front of the gate tower, Xue Yi looked down the city and saw a gorgeously decorated carriage parked quietly in front of the city gate. The carriage was surrounded by hundreds of warriors wearing elaborate costumes and hats on horseback to escort them.
Even though it was just a glance from a distance, it gave him a chilly feeling.
Danger!
An extremely dangerous group of people!
His mind was heavy, and he had some doubts about the origin of this group of people.
"Who is coming from the city?"
he asked loudly.
The people below did not speak, only a well-armed warrior stepped forward and threw a golden token.
The token flew like an arrow with a sharp whistling sound.
Xue Yi reached out to catch the token, his face changed slightly.
He just threw it casually, but it actually carried a very powerful force. If his cultivation was not weak, he might not be able to catch the token at all.
Looking at the token in his hand, the pupils in his eyes shrank suddenly.
"Golden Dragon Order!"
The Golden Dragon Order is the token representing Emperor Li in the Imperial City. It is impossible for ordinary imperial envoys to have such a token. Only internal officials in the Imperial City are qualified to hold such a token.
The internal officials in the imperial city rarely interfered with the affairs of the court and the imperial court. Although there were many guarding eunuchs in various places in Dali, those guarding eunuchs did not have the power to interfere with the government offices in various places in the imperial court. At most, they only had the power of supervision.
Therefore, even internal officials rarely go out with the Golden Dragon Token. This thing rarely appears, but whenever it appears, it is like the Emperor Li is coming personally.
"Open the door!"
Xue Yi shouted in a panic.
Squeak~~
The heavy city gate opened and Xue Yi almost ran out.
"Xue Yi, Marquis of Zhenyuan, respectfully wishes His Majesty's blessing!"
"Blessings to Your Majesty!"
A group of generals from Lingweiguan followed behind Xue Yi and bowed.
The carriage door curtain opened, and Zhao Gao was sitting in the carriage wearing a gorgeous red robe.
His pale face was full of indifference, and his narrow eyes looked at the generals in front of him without any emotion.
"Excuse me, generals!"
When Xue Yi heard this, he couldn't help but raise his head. When he saw Zhao Gao, he trembled all over.
"May I ask my father-in-law who he is?"
Holding the Golden Dragon Order, he must be an internal official.
"Chao Gao, the Royal Horse Superintendent!"
Zhao Gao said calmly.
He is the leader of Luowang, but in the imperial city, he is also the eunuch who supervises Luowang. The supervisory eunuch supervises Luowang. However, Luowang is not under the supervision of Yuma, so he just holds a temporary position for convenience.
Xue Yi thought for a while and did not expect that there was such a person as Zhao Gao in the imperial city.
However, he did not delve into it. After the new emperor ascended the throne, it was natural for someone to show up in the imperial city.
Furthermore, the Golden Dragon Order in his hand cannot be faked.
He stood up and handed out the Golden Dragon Token in his hand.
Xiao Wu, who was standing next to the carriage, immediately stepped forward to take the Golden Dragon Order, and then returned it to Zhao Gao.
"Eunuch Zhao, please!"
Xue Yi said respectfully.
If he were just an internal official, he would naturally not need to be so respectful, but Zhao Gao was holding the Golden Dragon Order, as if he were personally coming from Emperor Li, so how could he not be respectful.
Zhao Gao said nothing, the curtains were closed, and the carriage drove directly into the city.
…
In the city of Lingwei Pass.
In the majestic hall, Zhao Gao Gao was sitting in the main seat, and Xue Yi was sitting next to him. The other generals had all retreated, and there were only Luowang warriors guarding the door.
Zhao Gao Gao drank the tea and tasted it lightly, but Xue Yi was restless and couldn't help asking: "Eunuch Zhao, I wonder if the court has sent reinforcements."
"Yes!" Zhao Gao said.
Xue Yi's eyes lit up, "But dispatch the garrison of Yuanzhou and Shuzhou!"
"No!" Zhao Gao said.
Xue Yi was startled.
no!
Under the current situation, it is most appropriate to dispatch the garrison troops from Yuanzhou and Shuzhou.
"Where were the reinforcements dispatched?"
"The Kyoto Forbidden Army, two hundred thousand, should set off now." Zhao Gao said.
Xue Yi was completely stunned.
Kyoto Forbidden Army!
The support from Kyoto to Lingwei Pass will not come within three months. By the time they arrive, Lingwei Pass will probably have been overrun by millions of troops from the countries in the Western Regions.
Zhao Gao looked up at him and said calmly: "You only need to guard Lingwei Pass for ten days, and leave the rest to me!"
"What do you mean?" When Xue Yi heard this, his head was like a ball of mush, and he didn't understand what Zhao Gao meant at all.
"My mission is to destroy the alliance of the countries in the Western Region, so this million-strong army is my opponent!" Zhao Gao said.
Xue Yi's eyes widened and he looked at Zhao Gao in disbelief.
He was wondering if Zhao Gao was talking nonsense.
"How is this possible?"
Zhao Gao drank tea lightly and ignored him.
The millions of armies of the Western Region countries looked extremely powerful, but in his eyes they were full of loopholes and countless weaknesses.
Xue Yi stared at Zhao Gao for a long time before coming back to his senses.
He didn't believe what Zhao Gao said, but he couldn't interfere with what Zhao Gao did. Even if Zhao Gao didn't say anything, he couldn't even ask.
"Then I am only responsible for the defense of Lingweiguan?"
"Yeah!" Zhao Gao nodded.
Xue Yi took a deep breath, stood up, and said: "Then I will not disturb Eunuch Zhao, I will retire!"
After saying that, he quickly left the main hall.
Of course, after walking out of the main hall, I couldn't help but look back at Zhao Gao in the hall.
"Is this guy crazy?"
"His Majesty is still crazy. He actually asked him to deal with the millions of troops from the countries in the Western Regions!"
At this time, he looked at Zhao Gao as if he were a madman.
If Zhao Gao hadn't been holding the Golden Dragon Order, he might have driven Zhao Gao out of Lingwei Pass long ago.
With a long sigh, Xue Yi left helplessly.
Not long after he left, Xiao Wu quickly walked into the main hall.
"Sir, the situation is almost clear!"
Xiao Wu bowed and said.
"how?"
"As your Excellency expected, there are many conflicts among the countries in the Western Region. They don't have much favorable impressions of the Fire Worshiping Royal Court. They are just forced by the power of the Fire Worshiping Royal Court and have to succumb to the Fire Worshiping Royal Court."
"Among the countries in the Western Region, the one with the deepest hatred towards the Fire Worshiping King's Court is the Jingjue King's Court. Apart from the Fire Worshiping King's Court, the strongest ones are the Dayue King's Court and the Dayuan King's Court."
"These three royal courts have a total of thirty armies, and their kings are in the opposite camp."
Xiao Wudao.
"They are afraid of the Fire Worshiping Court, but they are not afraid of us Dali!" Zhao Gao sneered.
"For them, the Fire Worshiping Palace is right in front of them, but we, Dali, are very far away from them." Xiao Wu said.
What is far away is not the distance, but the contact between them.
Although Dali has always been powerful in the Western Regions, the only one who has more contact with Dali is the Fire Worshiping Royal Court. As for other royal courts, they rarely have contact with Dali, especially those kings who have no border with Dali.
Ting has almost no interaction with Dali.
Dali may be very powerful, but since they can't come into contact with Dali, they will naturally not be afraid of Dali.
"Then let them feel the terror from Dali!"
Zhao Gao said calmly: "We don't have time to waste, we will go there tonight!"
"Here!" Xiao Wu said.
“Let’s start with Jingjue Royal Court!”
"I understand, I will make arrangements now!" Xiao Wu replied.
