"Before the Western Regions, there were many countries, and they fought for decades. In the end, there were three big countries left, Crescent Country, Paya and Us."
"Eight years ago, the Us State captured the capital of the Crescent Moon State and the Crescent State was destroyed. Only Paya and the Us State were left to fight against each other."
"Last year, the Paya Kingdom was conquered and the Us Kingdom unified the Western Region. King Geers heard that the Great Zhou was rich, and with the instigation of Tang Guolong and Pu Xuan, he wanted to invade the Great Zhou."
"They sent out five thousand cavalry and looted all the way to Jinsha City. What happened next is what we encountered."
Feng He told the general information about the caravan's investigation, and at the same time took out a booklet, which recorded various experiences of the Us country, as well as the customs and customs of the Us country, especially the geographical map.
When it comes to fighting a war, the most important thing is the map.
If you don't even know the opponent's city, population distribution, army size, and material distribution, the war will be a blind one.
Looking through the album, Long Chen said: "Very good, the martial arts in the Central Plains will subside in two or three months, and then I can use my hands to deal with the Us Kingdom."
Feng He asked: "Sir, must we destroy the country of Us?"
Long Chen asked back: "Is there any problem?"
Feng He smiled and said, "Us Country is too far away, and I always feel it's so weird over there."
"The caravan asked many people about the Frost Country that your Excellency mentioned, and they all got almost the same answers. They all said it was something from legend."
"But I think the Frost Country exists, but they don't even know it."
"A place like this is too dangerous."
Long Chen smiled and said: "You also know the strange dangers. If such a country is not eliminated, if it exists in the west, it may invade the Great Zhou at any time. I can't sleep well."
"Shen Wanjin took so many half-ghost masters to the Western Region. If we don't chase them all, what will happen if something like the ghost tribe appears in the west in the future?"
"I can still fight now. The Great Zhou Dynasty has just gone through a great war, and there is no shortage of generals and elite soldiers. At this time, even if the Us Kingdom is half-ghost, and even if the Frost Kingdom is all vampires, we are not afraid."
"However, if in a few decades, or even a hundred years, you and I are dead, and all the powerful generals are gone, then the Uz Kingdom invades and the Frost Kingdom invades, who can resist it?"
"Why do I have to go to Uzbekistan? It's to eliminate potential threats while I'm still here and not leave any legacy to future generations."
This is Long Chen's true thoughts.
What he wanted to do was to eliminate all hidden dangers that could be eliminated while he was still there and while Zhou Dynasty still had generals and elite soldiers.
No one can tell what will happen to the descendants in the future.
What if future generations fail?
At that time, when the Us Kingdom and the Frost Kingdom invaded, who could stop them?
Long Chen is now the regent, acting as the agent for the state affairs of the Great Zhou Dynasty. In the future, he will ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor to govern the Great Zhou Dynasty.
As an emperor, how could he restore the country for Zalisa?
Just two women.
Feng He nodded and said: "That's right. The existence of Us Country and Frost Country is always a hidden danger. Your Excellency has high cultivation level."
, and with the Holy Sage sitting in charge, people in the future may not be so powerful."
Long Chen said: "Get ready. When the time comes, I will go to the Uz country."
Feng He said: "Shen Wanjin should be able to guess that the Lord is going. His news came from the caravan. Should we cut off the caravan from now on?"
Long Chen said: "If the caravan is cut off, how will I get there?"
Long Chen needs the caravan as cover, and Feng He's approach is not feasible.
"Yeah, that's right."
Feng He shook his head helplessly.
"This period will be more leisurely, so take a good rest."
Feng He stood up and Long Chen sent Feng He out.
In the following days, Feng He was preparing to go to the Western Regions, while Long Chen accompanied the princess at the palace, went to the cabinet to review some documents, and implemented some reforms at the same time.
Soon, it was time for Di Yuwei to give birth.
When the empress arrived at the palace, the female imperial physician was guarding the palace.
Long Chen walked around, feeling very nervous.
The three sisters of Emperor Xingwan were usually jealous, but at this time, they were also very worried, waiting for news from the East Palace.
"It's been so long, why is there still no news?"
Di Luoxi walked around, feeling very anxious.
"Don't worry, there are so many imperial doctors here, everything will be fine."
Emperor Xingwan comforted Di Luoxi, but he walked around.
The empress held a cup of tea in her hand and did not take a sip for a long time.
Outside the door, a female imperial physician hurried in and bowed to the empress, Long Chen: "Congratulations, Your Majesty, Your Majesty, for giving birth to your eldest son. May mother and son be safe."
The empress was so happy that she dropped the teacup on the table and spilled tea all over the table.
"Okay! Let me tell the world that I am happy to have a grandson!"
"All officials of fifth rank and above in the capital will be given twelve taels of gold! All people across the country will be given tax exemption for one year!"
The empress laughed happily: "Let's go, take me to see it."
The empress led the way, and the three sisters Long Chen, Di Xingwan, and Zhang Qian arrived at the East Palace.
Di Yu was lying on the bed slightly, his lips were a little white and he looked very weak.
The female imperial doctor immediately came forward with the emperor's grandson in her arms: "Your Majesty, the emperor's grandson is very healthy."
The empress looked at her fat grandson and said excitedly: "This is the first grandson of the Zhou Dynasty."
Long Chen sat down by the bed, took Di Yuwei's hand and said, "Thank you for your hard work."
Emperor Yuwei was very happy and said: "I gave birth to the first imperial grandson of the Great Zhou Dynasty."
Long Chen caressed Di Yuwei's hair and said, "Take a good rest."
The empress held her grandson in her arms and looked at her for a long time, then said to Emperor Yuwei: "Yuwei has a good rest. I am very happy, and so is Dazhou."
The third sister of Emperor Xingwan
Seeing that the empress was so happy, my sister had already planned to squeeze Long Chen dry tonight.
When the news of the birth of the crown prince came, there was an endless stream of congratulators.
When Lao Zhuguo heard that Long Chen had given birth, he ran to see him excitedly. After returning, he immediately sent a letter to Jinling, urging Gongsun to have the baby as soon as possible.
In the next few days, the prince's palace held a banquet to entertain all the officials of the capital, and the empress held a banquet in the Daming Palace. The entire capital was enveloped in a festive atmosphere.
In the next few months, Long Chen stayed with Di Yuwei and took care of the children himself.
Time seemed to slow down suddenly.
The fighting and killing in the past has stopped, and life has become more comfortable.
.
West Factory.
Long Chen rode into the Yamen, Yu Fuguo, and Feng He welcomed him out. ??
"grown ups."
Yu Fuguo stepped forward and saluted.
"Thank you for your hard work, Master Yu. Everything in Yuncheng is finally over."
Long Chen dismounted and the three of them sat down in the pavilion.
It's early autumn now.
"Yeah, some people are dragging their feet and it's just over now."
Returning to the capital, Yu Fuguo was very happy.
"There is no need to detoxify later. If there is another half-ghost, just kill it."
"I formed a demon-hunting army in the capital specifically to kill half-ghosts. I also gave a heavy reward. If you take the half-ghost's head, you can get a bounty. It is estimated that it will be pacified in a few years."
Yu Fuguo took out a small box and said, "Congratulations on your son."
Long Chen accepted the gift and said with a smile: "What about you? What are your plans?"
Yu Fuguo's wish is to get a wife and have children. The matter in Yuncheng is over, and Yu Fuguo can think about his own private affairs.
"I want to go back to Jinling."
Yu Fuguo was hesitant to speak, he was worried that Long Chen would not agree.
"Okay, I'll write a letter to Gongsun Ming. Qi Wenhai is coming back. You can replace Qi Wenhai as the head of the arrest department."
Long Chen readily agreed.
The Yufu Kingdom was overjoyed. The Capture Division was the third most powerful person in Jinling after Gongsun Ming and Li Xiannan. It had great power, surpassing the Imperial City Division back then.
Yu Fuguo didn't expect Long Chen to trust him so much.
"Thank you, sir."
Long Chen smiled and said: "I may not be able to be there when you get married, but the gifts will definitely arrive."
Yu Fuguo smiled sheepishly and said: "It's just a table of wine. How can I dare to make such a big deal?"
He has a special status and is afraid of being laughed at by others.
"What's a joke? I was once a eunuch."
Long Chen laughed to himself.
Yu Fuguo smiled and said, "I plan to go to the palace to say goodbye tomorrow and leave the day after tomorrow."
Long Chen said: "Okay, have a nice trip."
"I guess I will have to leave in a few days."
Yufu country
Asked: "Are you going to the Western Regions?"
Long Chen nodded and said: "Yes, but you can't say that to others."
Yu Fuguo understood: "Sir, be careful, we don't know much about the Western Region."
After chatting for a while, Long Chen returned to the palace, and Yu Fuguo also returned.
.
The small courtyard of the capital.
Zalisa stood in the yard, looking at the withered yellow leaves in trance.
Belloya asked: "Princess, do you miss your homeland?"
Zalisa nodded silently: "Before, I thought I could never go back, but he gave me hope."
Long Chen promised Zha Lisa to return to the country, which made her overjoyed.
At the moment she was sold to Xixia, she thought she would be a slave for the rest of her life and die a humble death.
Unexpectedly, she met Long Chen and lived a good life.
She was very satisfied with days like this, and she didn't need to be a slave.
What was even more unexpected was that Long Chen actually agreed to restore the country.
Belloya said: "That's what I said at the beginning, but can I do it in the end?"
"How can it be so easy to restore the country? Our Crescent Moon Kingdom is too far away from the Great Zhou Dynasty. Across the desert, the Us Kingdom is so powerful."
Zarissa was worried about this too.
"Yes, I haven't been here for a long time. I heard that he gave birth to a son."
Zalisa was very worried that Long Chen would no longer consider the affairs of Uzbekistan after having a son.
The courtyard door knocked and Long Chen walked in. Zha Lisha greeted him in surprise: "Husband."
This is a title she learned to express intimacy.
"Have you mastered the martial arts I taught you?"
Long Chen took Zalisa's hand and entered the room.
"I'm learning, but it's very difficult to learn. It's very different from our Crescent Kingdom's martial arts."
Zarissa was a little embarrassed.
Long Chen taught Zha Lisha the Hundred Birds Facing the Phoenix technique, hoping to improve her cultivation.
In the Western Region, after the Crescent Kingdom was rebuilt, Zalissa became the queen. She must have enough strength to keep the throne.
Just like Ji Xianxian, after conquering Zhao Kingdom, Ji Xianxian must be able to secure the throne.
Otherwise, if Long Chen leaves, the country will be destroyed.
"You have to change your thinking habits and read more Da Zhou books, and only then can you understand Da Zhou's martial arts."
Martial arts is also a kind of knowledge. If you cannot understand the culture of the Zhou Dynasty, it is impossible to practice the martial arts of the Zhou Dynasty well.
Zalisa nodded and said, "I also want to find someone to learn from Da Zhou's writing."
She can only speak Da Zhou's language now, but she still doesn't understand the writing and has read even fewer books.
"Watch more, I can help you restore the country, but you must be able to hold on after I leave."
Long Chen told Zalisa clearly.
"I understand, I will definitely work hard."
Zalisa knew very well: "Beloya learns better than me."
