Chapter 339 The Appetite of Tianluo Kingdom(1/2)
Another world, the capital of gods.
A strong man returned in a hurry, and he landed on the ground more than ten kilometers outside the city.
"Old Zhang, quickly bring a gale horse out."
The strong man who landed arrived at a post station outside the city.
"General Li, you look like you are happy?"
Lao Zhang from the inn was familiar with the strong man who came over, so he asked.
General Li's name was Li Yi. He smiled happily and said: "Old Zhang, your eyes are really poisonous. You can tell any happy events at once."
Lao Zhang grinned and said, "General Li, you didn't look in the mirror. Even a three-year-old child can see your appearance. You're smiling."
"General Li, do you have any good things you can share?"
Li Yi looked at Lao Zhang: "Your ancestors are from Northern Xinjiang, right?"
Lao Zhang picked up the dry cigarette and took a deep breath: "Yes, my ancestors are from Northern Xinjiang."
"All the strong members of the tribe are basically dead. The northern border was lost to the previous dynasty. The old, weak, sick and disabled members of the tribe have no choice but to go south. It has been hundreds of years since they left. Alas."
Li Yi patted Lao Zhang on the shoulder: "Lao Zhang, you can go over there to worship your ancestors."
"What's the meaning?"
Lao Zhang said tremblingly.
The bones of many of his ancestors and clansmen are buried in the northern Xinjiang. Although hundreds of years have passed, many people still miss him.
Li Yi said happily: "Your Majesty has taken back Northern Xinjiang, and the Black Tiger Empire has signed a letter of surrender. The vast Northern Xinjiang will be our pasture from now on."
"Okay, I won't tell you anymore. I have to report this news to the city quickly. This news needs to spread to the entire Shenlong Empire as soon as possible."
Li Yi rode on the gale horse and left quickly.
He is a master at the level of the Martial Emperor, but when suppressing his strength, his speed is worse than that of the Gale Horse, and riding a horse is more comfortable than running on his own.
"Northern Xinjiang is back."
"came back!"
Lao Zhang burst into tears and knelt down facing north.
"Long live your Majesty. Long live your Majesty."
"Northern Xinjiang is back, and I can finally go back to Northern Xinjiang to comfort the spirits of our ancestors."
…
Li Yi quickly spread the news to the city, and soon the sound of firecrackers sounded in the capital city.
This kind of firecracker sound is not the sound of gunpowder exploding. It is a special kind of stone that makes noise when burned in the fire. It was used to drive away wild animals in ancient times and gradually evolved into a way of celebration.
"The Black Tiger Empire was defeated like this."
"The Black Tiger Empire will be defeated sooner or later. The first 700,000 were lost, and the Shenlong Empire only lost more than 1,000 people. This casualty ratio is too terrible."
"Xiao Hai's seizure of the throne was a civil war. The war against the Black Tiger Empire was regarded as the founding battle of the Shenlong Empire. The Shenlong Empire was completely reborn."
Many people in other countries are talking about it.
They quickly spread the news to their own countries through various channels.
In particular, some surrounding countries are particularly urgent.
When the Shenlong Empire was first established, many surrounding countries stepped forward to impose sanctions. Now that the Black Tiger Empire has fallen, the Shenlong Empire has freed up its hands.
Of course, not all countries are afraid.
In the blink of an eye, it was the next day.
Northeast of Shenlong Empire, Tianluo Kingdom.
"You ministers, if you have something to report, please leave the court if there is nothing else to do."
Emperor Tuoba Xiang said lazily that he was very happy with his achievements, but he was not diligent in government affairs and spent most of his energy on the harem.
"Your Majesty, the Shenlong Empire forced the Black Tiger Empire to sign a letter of surrender. The Black Tiger Empire's northern border has returned to the embrace of the Shenlong Empire."
Some ministers stood up and reported.
Tuoba Xiang's eyes lit up: "Northern Xinjiang has returned to the Shenlong Empire? The large area in the eastern part of Northern Xinjiang used to be the land of our Tianluo Kingdom."
"Inform the Shenlong Empire immediately that they must return those lands."
The minister who stood up was startled: "Your Majesty, the Shenlong Empire will definitely not be returned. With our strength, we may not be able to do anything to the Shenlong Empire."
Tuoba Xiang snorted coldly.
"The Shenlong Empire can also bully the barbarians on the grassland. Our Tianluo Kingdom is very mountainous. How dare they invade our Tianluo Kingdom?"
"My army is not vegetarian."
"Besides, the Shenlong Empire has just experienced a battle, how dare it still fight with us? Now is the time to return to our Tianluo Kingdom territory!"
There was a lot of discussion in the hall. There were some opponents, but most of them agreed.
Tianluo Kingdom is not a big country, but from the emperor down to the dawn of time, the common people are very confident.
"Okay, stop for a moment."
Tuoba Xiang said in a deep voice, and the hall suddenly became quiet.
"The Yanlong clan has sent troops to our Tianluo Kingdom before and was defeated by us time and time again. I believe they will recognize the reality clearly."
"Seal the border and do not allow anyone from the Shenlong Empire to go back. Inform the envoys of the Shenlong Empire and ask them to return our land immediately."
Tuoba Xiang said with an excited expression.
If he can successfully acquire a large territory, he will be the greatest emperor in the history of Tianluo Kingdom, and his name will go down in history.
"Your Majesty, what exactly do we want them to return?"
A minister stood up and asked.
Tuoba Xiang's statement that the Shenlong Empire occupied their territory was simply nonsense, and the minister who stood up did not know what to ask for back.
"that's it!"
Tuoba Xiang took out a map.
He drew a red circle on it.
With mountains and rivers as boundaries, the area he designated was very large, several times larger than the Tianluo Kingdom, reaching one million square kilometers.
The land area of Tianluo Kingdom is over 300,000 square kilometers.
The population is about 15 million.
This population is less than one-tenth of the population of the Shenlong Empire.
"Inform the envoys of the Shenlong Empire immediately. If they do not return our land, we, the Tianluo Kingdom, will raise millions of troops to take it ourselves!"
Tuoba Xiang said domineeringly.
Some people in the court frowned secretly. They felt something was wrong, but they did not dare to stand up. They knew Tuoba Xiang's temper very well.
If they stand up now, they are afraid that their lives will be at risk.
"Yes, Your Majesty."
The capital of Tianluo Kingdom is Tiandu City.
It means the capital of the world.
The Shenlong Empire has envoys in Tiandu City.
"Boom, boom, boom!"
Dozens of cavalry quickly arrived at the embassy where the envoys of the Shenlong Empire lived.
"Master Cui, what do you mean?"
The envoy from the Shenlong Empire quickly arrived outside, he frowned and said.
They came with dozens of cavalry, and it seemed that they were coming with bad intentions.
"Don't get close to me. Part of the eastern part of Northern Xinjiang used to belong to our Tianluo Kingdom. Your Shenlong Empire must return it."
"His Majesty's decree is that if you don't return it within half a month, our Tianluo Kingdom will mobilize millions of elite soldiers to take back that part of the land on our own."
In front of dozens of cavalry, Tianluo Kingdom Cui Xiaoyu said sharply.
He is the Minister of Rites of Tianluo Kingdom.
In charge of diplomacy.
"What?"
Xu Jiangyu, the envoy of the Shenlong Empire, thought he had heard wrongly.
He had already obtained the information, and the Black Dragon Empire had signed its credentials after losing. At this time, how could the Tianluo Kingdom have the guts to make such a request?
