The next day, Haotian summoned the 113 local forces that divided the territory of Obsburg and the envoys of Constantine and Burgundy. Looking at the black heads in front of him, Haotian suddenly felt a feeling in his heart.
An indescribable feeling. Is this a symbol of my merits?
"I'm very pleased to hear that you have reached an agreement to certify the land in Obsburg and establish the Darko Alliance. Everyone, our army will leave here in three days. From now on, the West
The mainland will once again become your own territory. We will never interfere in your affairs again." Haotian said slowly.
The princes and lords below all looked at Haotian with complicated eyes. If it weren't for Haotian, the Western Continent would not have experienced such a large-scale war, and they would not have been wiped out even the last gold coin by the Hetao. But if not
Haotian, it is impossible for them to obtain such a territory. Therefore, they have mixed feelings about Haotian. Now that they heard that Haotian will leave soon, no matter whether they are happy or worried, at least everyone showed a trace of relaxation
After all, the military oppression in the Hetao was so strong that they even felt like they couldn't breathe.
"I just want to tell you two things. I hope you can remember them." Haotian said calmly: "First, your land rent will be repaid in fifty years. Every two years, the rent will be paid back by the Dako Alliance and Junshi.
The Kingdom of Tandin sends the rent to our capital. Of course, you can choose not to pay, or you can choose to refuse. Anyway, our China is too far away from you. This is the first time our army has set foot on your west in at least three hundred years.
The territory of the mainland. But if you choose to default on your debt, you must bear the consequences that may arise."
"Secondly, the Six Loulan Kingdoms in the Central Continent are vassal states of our Divine State and are also the sphere of influence of our Celestial Empire. You'd better not enter here by force, otherwise we will regard it as a provocation to the dignity of our Celestial Empire. Of course,
If they take the initiative to invade you, that's a different matter. That's all I have to say, it's up to you what to do."
After saying that, Haotian ignored the comments below and walked out of the tent. Luo Xiang followed him, looked at Haotian's slightly tired face, and said with a smile: "Master, are you too tired?
"
Haotian nodded: "I thought I would have a lot to say today, but sitting on the stage, I couldn't bring myself to express my interest at all. Sir, it's time for us to go home. Over the years, China has experienced too many things.
The soldiers have been fighting for many years and are quite exhausted now. It’s time for the people to take a good rest."
"How to solve Rouran's matter?"
"Kipchak Khan has already replied to me. He asked me to go to the Rouran Prairie and said he would give us a satisfactory explanation." Haotian said calmly: "Sir, what do you want to do after you go back?"
"Let's put down the rebellion first." Luo Xiang looked at the sky: "Xiangcheng and I originally planned to avenge Chi Chang and Qin Shang, and then retire to the mountains and forests. But now think about it, how much disaster we have caused to China over the years,
It is really irresponsible to leave like this. Therefore, I hope to assist the lord in governing the world well so that the people can truly live a happy and healthy life."
Haotian was silent. Looking at the rising sun in the east, Haotian raised his head again. All the disasters have passed, and now China, like the red sun, is exuding vitality.
The Hetao army has always been straightforward and decisive. Since Haotian ordered the withdrawal, there will naturally be no hesitation. According to Xuanji's order, the army of more than 600,000 people marched neatly towards the east early in the morning on the third day.
Kaibo. The Hetao army was rigorous in running the army. Although they knew that there would be no danger along the way, the two cavalry regiments of Long Xiang and Snow Lion as the vanguard still sent out enough scouts. The Falcons in the rear were also careful to kill the two regiments.
Be alert. Those who move first will not be in chaos, and those who move behind will not be afraid. The army is neat and tidy. Even if someone wants to deliberately attack, there will be no chance.
Because the Hetao army crossed the Elbe River and headed for the Koga Jungle to join forces with the 50,000 infantrymen of the Tiger and Ben Legion who stayed here, it was not just Dodo of Plantagenet, Ramofard of Gaul, and Boya of the Latin Kingdom.
, hundreds of grand dukes and marquises from small countries, even Constantine’s Nito and others all came.
Looking at the more than 10,000 horse-drawn carriages in the Hetao Army, everyone felt like crying. On those horse-drawn carriages were their country’s national treasures, their family heirlooms, and the Western Continent’s literature and art.
The most exquisite cultural relics of the Renaissance period include all the materials accumulated by the Western Saint Sect for hundreds of thousands of years. However, no one dared to talk nonsense. The power of the Chinese army left a deep impression on them. Such a powerful empire,
Such an ancient nation cannot be offended by anyone. If the countries in the Western Continent really offend their majesty, the thunderous wrath of the Celestial Empire will surely follow.
The Hetao army was too large in number, and there were too many carriages in the team, so it moved very slowly. Long Xiang and the Snow Lion Army had already crossed the Elbe River on the frozen river, and the Falcons killed the two rearguards.
The legion had not yet set off. It was not until the afternoon that the Hetao army slowly left Dako City, which had been entrenched for more than a month. When the last Iron-Blooded Mountain and River Flag disappeared from everyone's sight, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
"Goodbye! No, it's best not to meet each other in the future!" Duke Boya said with a sigh of relief.
Nito asked: "Have their dragon army been mobilized?"
Boya nodded and said: "They should be leaving on the same day. Yesterday, I also received a letter from domestic messengers, saying that their dragon army is replenishing a large amount of fresh water and supplies, and it should be leaving in these two days. General Nito, Storm Strait is not
The number of people who can successfully pass through the Great Wave Mysterious Sky is only 1 out of 10, why can their dragon army pass through smoothly?"
"Their shipbuilding technology is far superior to ours, and the quality of their navy is extremely high. They can always make correct judgments when facing wind and waves." Nito said with a wry smile.
Ramofard shouted: "Anyway, they finally left. Obsburg is such an unlucky guy, actually provoking such a plague for us. God, I hope they will never come back in the future."
Nito said very pertinently: "As long as we don't get dizzy and take the initiative to provoke them, they probably won't come back."
Everyone nodded happily. Theoretically speaking, the Hetao army was quite reasonable, although they were a little shameless when extorting money. But other than that, they did not do any improper behavior. Hetao raised military rations.
Everything was purchased with gold and merchants from various countries. Wherever the army passed, not even an innocent civilian was killed, and there was never any rape, robbery, murder, or arson.
As long as they do not offend their majesty and do not act as their enemies, the Hetao army is actually a very gentle person. Compared with the chivalry that the Western Continent is proud of, they are more like knights. Even those who once sent troops to fight against them
As long as the one hundred and thirteen principalities and local lords paid war indemnities, the Loop would never embarrass the other party.
"I really want to know what kind of existence their country is." The Duke of Wales said slowly.
Marquis Dis smiled and said: "What's the problem? We can definitely go to Heaven to pay homage to Emperor Haotian. Shouldn't we pay the rent once every two years? We can definitely go to Heaven together then."
Boya nodded quickly and said, "We can just go, they just don't come on their own initiative."
Everyone nodded with deep understanding. It is impossible to estimate how much gold, silver and jewelry the Hetao army seized during this western expedition. Obsburg was destroyed, and the official reserves were more than three million taels of gold and worth at least five million.
With the efforts of Constantine and the Burgundian Kingdom, two gold treasures and exquisite cultural relics were all found from the ruins and handed over to Hetao. As for the war compensation paid by various countries, it was at least 20 million taels.
Gold. Of course, the amount of gold is not that much. Nearly half of it is various agate, emerald, diamond and treasures. It can be said that almost all of the hundreds of years of accumulation in the Western Continent has gone into Hetao's pocket.
But it is a pity that the Chinese army once again set foot on the land of the Western Continent fifty years later. At that time, many meritorious nobles who participated in this farewell were still alive, but unfortunately, Hetao this time
Many of the generals who participated in the expedition were their old acquaintances. The Haotian Empire's second large-scale western expedition also made a young general immortally famous.
The return journey of the Hetao army is quite slow. The main reason is that there are tens of thousands more carriages in the team. And here in the Kojia Jungle, there are more than 5,000 carriages of gold, silver and jewelry. This expedition to the Hetao is like no other.
It can be said that at least in terms of harvest, it is unprecedented and unprecedented.
According to Dugu's estimate, after the withdrawal of the Hetao army, the monarchs of various countries in the Western Continent may not be able to use pure gold bowls and pure silver knives and forks when eating as before, and they will not be able to use them for a long time.
You will have to get used to living without any accessories on your hands.
When crossing the Ural River, the boundary between the Western Continent and the Central Continent, Haotian couldn't help but look back at the vast western continent. As a soldier, he would always miss the place where he had created glorious achievements.
"Lord, if you are willing, we can come back at any time. Don't forget, Situ and the others are still staying in Canglang Plain, and we can come back during the holidays." Xue Sha said comfortingly.
Haotian sighed: "I hope so." There was an indescribable loneliness in his tone.
After crossing the Ural River, the geographical environment gradually changes. Although there are vast plains on both sides, the west of the river is mainly farmland, while the east of the river is lush pasture. This is the world of nomads, and is the center of the Central Continent and the Western Continent.
The natural dividing line. However, it is now the middle of winter, and the grass has turned yellow and frozen. The legendary scenery of wind-blown grass and cows and sheep is nowhere to be seen.
"My lord, the Rouran tribe led by Qincha Khan is waiting for you in front." The soldiers came to report.
Luo Xiang asked: "How many people did they bring?"
"The Kipchak Khan personally led the army. The total number is about 200,000, but half of them are women and children, and only half of them are cavalry. The Longxiang Army has sent soldiers to patrol, and there are no Rouran ambush troops within a hundred miles around."
He bowed and replied.
"Since Kipchak Khan personally leads the team, there will definitely be no ambush. Kipchak Khan is a man, and I, Haotian, can trust him." Haotian thought for a moment and said in a deep voice: "Let Feng Shuai and Xueshuai arrive.
Come on, Kipchak Khan is a great leader on the grassland, and he welcomes him with courtesy, so we cannot damage the image of the Celestial Dynasty."
To the east of the Ural River, in the southernmost part of the Rouran Prairie, this place originally did not have an outstanding place name. However, because Haotian and Qincha Khan met here this time, it became known as Xiaoxiongyuan in later generations.
After Haotian's army marched forward slowly for two sticks of incense, the soldiers in front were no longer moving forward. Haotian understood that it must be the Fifth Young Master who had ordered the army to stop, so Haotian also got out of the Qingyun.
He led Xin Jiaohaojin and others and walked forward together with Fengjing Xuesha who had just caught up.
After half an hour of walking, Haotian finally approached Wu Xiaolangjun's front army. Opposite the two cavalry regiments of Long Xiang and Snow Lion were densely packed Rouran cavalry.
Seeing the red-bottomed yellow-edged Iron-Blooded Mountains and Rivers banner representing Haotian's symbol slowly arriving at the front line, more than ten people from Rouran's army slowly walked out and stopped near the midpoint between the two armies.
Haotian couldn't help but admired: "Qincha Khan is worthy of being a hero among men, and he is so brave."
"The eagle that flies the highest on the grassland naturally has its own merits." Luo Xiang also said with a smile. But he let out a surprised sound: "Daisier is also there, haha, the two handsome men
A precious son is also here."
Kipchak Khan put on such a posture, Haotian naturally couldn't put on airs. Haotian originally wanted to bring Luo Xiang Xuanji, Xue Sha and other four people forward, but Xin Jiao and others wanted to see the most outstanding person on this prairie.
What kind of person is the hero, so he begged to go together. Haotian rarely refuted the requests of several wives, so Xin Jiao and the other five naturally followed him, and the two brothers Hao Jin would not be left behind.
.How could Yingji'er not go to a place where Hao Jin was there? So Wu Xiaolangjun also followed. In addition to Jiang Shenzhou who shamelessly came to join in the fun, there were fewer people on Haotian's side than on Qinchakhan's side.
Although it was the first time they met, Haotian recognized Qincha Khan at a glance. It was not because he stood in the middle of the crowd, nor because Desire stood beside him, but because of his unique temperament. He was middle-class.
His figure is relatively short among the tall Rouran people. His soft long hair is draped casually on his shoulders, making him look a bit bohemian. His eyes are warm, like a blue lake. His face is quite peaceful,
The calmness and self-confidence revealed in the peace are the most outstanding hero in the history of Rouran, Kipchak Khan, who is known as the highest and farthest eagle that can fly on the prairie.
Kipchak Khan also recognized Haotian, after all, Haotian's white hair was so outstanding.
"Rouran Qincha!"
"Shenzhou Haotian!"
The two introduced themselves concisely and concisely, staring at each other intently, and suddenly they burst out laughing at the same time.
"Rouran's ability to become the unparalleled overlord on the prairie in just twenty years is indeed not a fluke."
"Compared with His Majesty, there is still a big gap. In eight years, in less than eight years, China has risen again, and has achieved unparalleled achievements for thousands of years, which makes me admire and admire."
Haotian smiled and pointed to the people around him and introduced them one by one: "Luo Xiang, my Haotian's most effective adviser, and Lord Chu Xiangcheng who stayed in China, should be regarded as your old friend. Xuanji, I, Hetao
The strategist of the army, strategizing and winning decisive battles thousands of miles away, is him. Xue Sha, my wife's adoptive father, you have met before. Dugu Yuming, the world's best infantry combat master. Xin Eng, I have been together since childhood.
Grown-up brothers, Fengjing, no introduction is needed, right? These are my wives, and these two are my sons, Hao Jin and Hao An. The five of them, the Great Khan should also know them, they are our Hetao
The rising stars of the military, if you hadn't let the Great Khan let them go, the five of them wouldn't have achieved the glory they have today. As for this one, Jiang Chenzhou, the commander of the Legion of Honor."
Kipchak Khan also pointed to the people around him and said: "My sister Yin Ling, needless to say, she should be from your Chinese state. Syr Jiangliu, my uncle, one of the five elders of Rouran.
.Brother Dan Toast, known as Nei Chun, is one of the few remaining among the five elders of Rouran. Camp, the leader of the eight generals of Rouran, is my right-hand man. This is Tansen, Chamuhe, Dutuduo, and Zhe
Mu, Chu'erdutun. This is my son, my only son, the future king of the Rouran tribe, Xu Wulie."
Picking up his son, Xu Wu Lie pointed at Haotian and said, "Xu Wu Lie, have you seen it? This is the most powerful overlord in the world, an emperor who is more powerful than your father."
Although he was only ten years old, Xu Wulie, who was already half a boy, looked at Haotian quietly, his eyes full of admiration. The prairie is a place where strong people are worshiped, especially Xu Wulie who has been in Qinchao since he was a child.
This is especially true for the people around a powerful man like Khan.
Haotian laughed and said, "But you are the highest flying eagle on the prairie."
Xue Sha Dugu and others also came forward to see Qincha Khan. Daisler held the two brothers Fengyin and Fengyang and stood next to Fengjing. Fengjing quickly took a son from her arms. But Fengjing and
My son didn't stay there long, and I couldn't tell whether he was the eldest or the second child.
"The person you are holding is Fengyang, be careful, he just fell asleep." Desire whispered, but her eyes were indescribably sad.
Fengjing held her hand and whispered: "Don't worry, the lord has decided to resolve Rouran's matter peacefully."
Desire shook her head, but in the end she didn't say anything. She just rested her head on Feng Jing's shoulder, as if she could draw some strength from Feng Jing.
