"The Forest of Death. The Forest of Death is a fiefdom that records the passing of time. I wonder if this betrothal gift is enough?" Haotian said lightly.
"What?" Even though Hua Mofang's cultivation level has reached the level of ancient wells, she still let out an exclamation. It is true that the chronicle is entrenched in the Death Forest, but this place does not belong to their rule. They are just one of them.
The residents, but now, Haotian gave them the Forest of Death with just one word. No wonder Hua Mofang was confused.
"The forces of the Maurya Dynasty will soon withdraw from the western area of the Death Forest. But Senior Hua must also remember that even though this is your fiefdom, you must abide by the laws of the empire. Also, the Death Forest is the territory of the empire. Since you
Since we are here to replace the empire, we must ensure that foreign forces cannot extend in."
Hua Mofang took a deep breath and finally calmed down: "Your Majesty, please rest assured, the Chronicler is also a subject of the empire, and naturally must abide by the laws of the empire."
Hua Mofang and Haotian walked faster and gradually pushed the people behind them away from each other. Hua Mofang suddenly asked in a low voice: "I wonder why your Majesty came here?"
"The Chronicles of Time have the most complete records in the entire Chinese mainland. It is said that whether it is the hegemony of emperors or the history of officials and officials, you have records here. I want to see the information about the Shouwang clan, as well as everything related to my mother." Haotian also said lowly.
said the voice.
In fact, this is the biggest purpose of Haotian coming to the Forest of Death. Although Qin Shang died in childbirth, Haotian has always been nostalgic for his mother whom he has never met, so he really wants to know every bit of his mother's experience.
Most of the information related to Qin Shang had been destroyed by Luo Xiang and others back then. All in all, it seems that only the Chronicles of Time should still be kept here.
Hua Mofang hesitated for a moment. These information are all top secret. No one is allowed to view them except the current leader and the next-generation leader. After all, everything in it is quite sensational. If it is spread out, it will definitely cause a big stir.
However, Haotian's identity is different, not to mention that he is Qin Shang's son, and he has just given such a big gift as a reminder of the fleeting time, so he really can't say no to it.
Moreover, Haotian is often stubborn. If he is angered, who knows whether he will directly send an army to level the Death Forest and the Fleeting Chronicles.
Thinking of this, Hua Mofang smiled and said: "Of course, but these things are top secret and can only be viewed by His Majesty alone."
Haotian nodded.
For the next two days, Haotian stayed in the secret library of Fleeting Chronicles. Luo Xiang and others knew this very well, so they waited outside honestly. Until the morning of the third day, Haotian...
Then he slowly walked out of it.
No one knows what information Haotian has read in the past two days, or what he is thinking. On the same day, Haotian left the Death Forest with Luo Xiang and others, and then headed to southern Yunnan.
Bloody Plateau.
During the time when Haotian was a guest at Fleeting Chronicles, Xuanji and Blood Kill Dugu and others were not idle. After more than ten days, the Hetao army finally prepared enough trees, and with Dugu's order
, the largest city in the entire Lingnan region, immediately fell into a vast sea of fire.
Regarding the arson in Luqing City, at least ten versions were later circulated in mainland China, but only the one described by the writer of the Secret History of China was the most accepted by the public: On October 13, 625 in the Chinese calendar, Hetao set fire to the city.
The fire did not go out for half a month. Afterwards, the imperial army left, leaving only charred wood in the city. No one of the more than two million Jinhua people survived.
At this time, more than 300,000 troops from the four legions of Dingnan, Yellow Turban, Poli and Zhulu were still setting fire to the mountains in southern Yunnan and Jinhua, resolutely carrying out the Haotian clan's plan to destroy Jinhua and the four southern Yunnan clans.
Order.
After leaving the Death Forest, Haotian headed north, passing through Jingzhou and Cuizhou. He originally planned to go directly to Qingning Road, but before entering Qingzhou, Haotian became dizzy and vomited. It turns out that the altitude of the Bloody Plateau is too high.
Gao and Haotian were not in good health to begin with, so they developed altitude sickness. Xue Qingcheng and others had no choice but to cross the river north at the ferry where they fought against the Bliss Holy Cult that day, and entered the boundary of Yizhou Road.
It's just that Haotian's body was in good and bad days. When it came to Huanhai Qingtian, Haotian suddenly fainted. This time, Luo Xiang and Xin Jiao worked hard for three days before Haotian woke up. And in these few days
In order to allow Luo Xiang and Xin Jiao to focus on treating Haotian, even the four girls Qiu Muxian and Lianchen were not allowed to approach Haotian's camp.
Not only Zhang Yuewan and others have been worried about this matter for a long time, but even the military generals are quite frightened. After all, Hao Jin and Hao An are young. If Haotian is gone, let’s not talk about who will succeed the throne.
Young Chen Zhuang, who knows if the empire will suddenly split. Fortunately, Haotian woke up after three days and was much more energetic than before he fainted. This made Zhang Yuewan and others breathe a sigh of relief.
However, after hearing the news, many people began to get ready to take action. After all, if Haotian died, the two young brothers Hao Jin would not have enough prestige to suppress the powerful advisers and generals under Haotian. If they fanned the flames at that time,
Suddenly, they may not have a chance.
However, no one expected Haotian to regain his energy so quickly, and Haotian did not choose to return to the Holy Capital of Tiandu immediately. Instead, he went north from the Yinping Ancient Road, and then followed the official road of Hexi Road to Yumen Pass.
After crossing the river at Fengling Ferry and heading south, we stayed near Niantian Holy Capital for several days before heading south through Yinfeng Castle and arriving at Tiandu Holy Capital. Haotian spent three months traveling all the way.
time.
According to Haotian's original intention, his car should go east from Tiandu Shengjing, go all the way south along the coastal area of Yangzhou Road, cross the river and enter Jiangnan 3rd Road, cross the Xijiang River at Zhujin Ferry on Dahu Road, and take a look at Jinhua Mitsukoshi's
War. After Jinhua Sanyue is wiped out, he will march westward with the army, arrive at the Forest of Death, and then head north to enter the South Yunnan Road. If conditions permit, Haotian hopes to enter Qingning from Luoche Road, and then inspect the Jiayuguan defense line.
Hetao No. 3 Road is Haotian's hometown and his foundation, so I'm afraid he will have to stay here for a while. Haotian hopes that he can walk around the fifteen state capitals on San Road as much as possible. It can also be regarded as a reminiscence.
The footsteps of myself, Tianyi and others patrolling the territory that day.
Haotian was planning to enter Youyun Sixteenth Prefecture from Shazhou on Hexi Road and move east along the Great Wall defense line. He had not been to Shanhaiguan yet, so he wanted to see how majestic the so-called first pass of the Great Wall was.
After arriving at the East China Sea, go all the way south along the coastline, then slowly westward along the north bank of the river, cross the river at Hukou Ferry in Jinzhou and enter the Hetao. The next step is to go south from Yinfeng Castle and return to Tiandu Sheng via Danzhou on the Huaishui River.
Beijing.
In this way, Haotian was able to inspect his entire territory. However, altitude sickness on the Bloody Plateau and a sudden outbreak of illness forced Haotian to modify his original plan and hastily return to the Holy Capital of Heaven.
Regarding this parade, Zhang Yuewan's five daughters had mixed reactions.
Xian Lianchen has a thick nerve and a simple mind, and is very insensitive to emergencies. Therefore, he only feels that there are not enough places to visit this time, which is a bit regretful.
Xin Jiao's whole heart is attached to Haotian. Haotian's happiness is her happiness. Apart from Haotian, Xin Jiao rarely cares about anything outside. And he is introverted. Even if he has any worries, he keeps them all in his heart.
, so Zhang Yuewan and others had no idea what she was thinking.
However, Zhang Yue, Wanxue Qingcheng and Qiu Mu are both extremely shrewd and thoughtful people. Although Haotian never said anything, they have already noticed some problems from various clues.
"My husband's health is good and bad. He suddenly fainted on Yizhou Road, which is proof of this." Xue Qingcheng said worriedly.
Qiu Mu frowned. She always felt that there was something wrong with Haotian's fainting that time, but she didn't know what the problem was.
"My husband's old injury should be almost healed." Qiu Mu said in a deep voice. She was talking about the time Haotian was assassinated by Bing Heng and Helian Tieshu. Not only was Haotian seriously injured that time, but also
Moreover, Xian Lianchen, who was just pregnant, had a miscarriage because of this. Later, Haotian killed all the Holy Sect of Paradise, which also accounted for part of the factors.
Zhang Yuewan smiled bitterly: "The key lies in your mood. My husband's family martial arts is definitely the best in the world today. If you take good care of yourself, you should have recovered a long time ago. It's just that the departure of the eldest sister has changed your husband's mood.
Destroyed. To be honest, if I hadn’t still wanted to avenge my eldest sister and Jin’er and An’er were still young, I’m afraid my husband wouldn’t be able to support it anymore.”
After all, they are husband and wife who have a deep love. When it comes to this, Zhang Yuewan and the other two people have tight eyebrows, and there are even tears in Qiu Mu's eyes.
With tears in her eyes, Qiu Mu whispered: "I always feel that my husband is very abnormal this time. My husband has never been so eager to patrol his territory before."
After saying this, Qiu Mu shook his head. Zhang Yuewan and Xue Qingcheng also meant the same thing. Haotian was so eager. It was hard to say that he didn't want to inspect his territory before the end of his life. Moreover, Haotian's actions seemed to indicate that
This point, the canonization of the left and right prime ministers and the five military commanders ensured the rule of the Hetao lineage over the entire empire, granted Qiu Mu and Xin Jiao their respective fiefdoms, and established the two roads of Xue Qingcheng and Qingning Luoche, and Tianwu Xinghe and Lingnan Road.
The ruling power of Zhang Yuewan and the continuation of Zhang Yuewan's privileges in Huai River can be regarded as arrangements for his departure.
Xue Qingcheng boldly said: "How long can your husband's body last?"
Both Zhang Yuewan and Zhang Yuewan were startled. Xue Qingcheng was also frightened by their reactions. The three of them looked at each other. After a long time, Zhang Yuewan said: "My husband's spirit is particularly tenacious. Before he takes revenge, he will definitely
Keep at it. I think it is necessary for Jin'er and An'er to stay with my husband all the time. In this way, even for the sake of the two children, my husband will try his best to give himself a good mood. And if he is in a good mood, he must be in a good mood.
Your body will also change."
Xue Qingcheng and Qiu Mu also felt that what Zhang Yuewan said was very reasonable. Hao Jin and Hao An were Haotian's only two sons, and they were both born by God's will. After God's departure, they were Haotian's last concern.
Besides, both children are quite sensible. As long as they stay by Haotian's side, it will be difficult for Haotian to be unhappy.
Qiu Mu said worriedly: "In the spring of next year, the empire will start a war against the foreign races outside the Great Wall. Can the two children adapt to the military service?"
Zhang Yuewan said proudly: "The two of them will inherit their husband's family business in the future. Both husbands are emperors. Do you want them to stay in the palace all day long? Only by truly experiencing the cruelty of war can they understand the destiny of this country.
It’s not easy to understand the suffering of the people. Besides, for the sake of my husband’s health, Master Chu and the others will not object.”
Qiu Mu hesitated and said, "Who do you think your husband will appoint as the crown prince?"
"I don't know. My husband has never expressed his attitude. Jin'er is resolute and just like my husband. An'er is kind and kind. He should have inherited the eldest sister's temperament. My husband has never had any bias towards their brothers." Xue Qingcheng said.
Zhang Yuewan also smiled bitterly. The last time she privately encouraged Chen Han, Tong Xiu and other literati to submit a letter to Haotian to establish the crown prince, it was to test what Haotian was thinking, but she didn't know that Haotian didn't make any response at all.
, just ordered that no one should discuss this issue from now on.
"No matter who is the prince, the identity of the other will not be much inferior to that of the prince." Zhang Yuewan finally said pertinently.
It was already early November. Although Tiandu Shengjing is located in the south, it was still affected by the cold current from the north. Not only did the grass in the city turn yellow, but the water flow in the river became slower and slower. It was obvious that it would not last long.
In time, the river will be frozen.
After several months of encirclement and suppression, good news came from the southern Yunnan battlefield where Li Xiaomo was located and the Lingnan battlefield where Cheng Guochi and Zhang Keliang were located. At least, under the pressure of Haotian, they all tried their best and worked harder.
After the Shang clan destroyed Jinhua, the White Tigers of Hetao killed Chi Snake Feng Wu and other legions and all moved westward. With mutual cooperation, although many people still hid in the dense jungle near the Death Forest in the west, but in southern Yunnan
More than 90% of the people in Hejinhua have been beheaded, and there is no rooster crow for the first time here.
"Retrieve the Xue Sha, White Tiger, Red Snake and Feng Wu legions. They will be our main force for the expedition outside the Great Wall in the future, and they also need a good rest. The remaining forces of the four southern Yunnan tribes and the Golden Flower have basically disappeared, only
A legion is needed to control the situation." Haotian said slowly: "Li Xiaomo's position as commander of the broken legion was taken over by Li Tiezhan, who was stationed in Baiyue and Lingnan. Li Xiaomo became the prefect of Baiyue Road and temporarily controlled Lingnan Road.
There is no prefect on Jiangnan Road for the time being, and military control is implemented by Chu Lianfeng's Zhulu Corps. The Zhulu Corps is stationed in Yangzhou, Jiangnan. The Dingnan Corps returns to Dahu, and its defense area is southern Yunnan, the Great Lakes. The Yellow Turban Corps returns to Huai River, and its headquarters is Shoulu in the south of Huai River.
Zhou Pingzhou and other places. The Snow Wolf Legion returned to Luoshe Road. The Dragon Legion Navy cruised the river, and the Korean Navy should go to the East China Sea and other places to exterminate pirates, which would give them something to do."
Not long after returning to Tiandu Shengjing, Haotian announced his adjustment strategy for the south of the river.
Luo Xiang frowned. The scope of Haotian's adjustment was actually not large. Except for the direct lineage of Hetao, the five legions that returned were 400,000 troops. The Poli Legion was placed south of Xijiang. It was regarded as moving away from their home base of Qinchuan Road and the Yellow Turban Legion.
They were stationed in the south of Huai River, obviously to prevent them from threatening the safety of Tiandu Shengjing. As for letting Chu Lianfeng's army take charge of Jiangnan Road, it was of course to give Chu Xiangcheng face.
"My lord, is this a special adjustment for us to send troops outside the Great Wall?" Luo Xiang asked.
Haotian nodded: "Although China has been unified, there are still some unrest factors south of the river, and our army's expedition will definitely lead to a lack of troops in the rear."
Chu Xiangcheng said: "My lord, can you explain the upcoming military plan?"
"This expedition outside the Great Wall, in addition to revenge, is more important to eradicate the border troubles in the north and provide China with a stable environment for cultivation and rest. However, the aliens outside the Great Wall are powerful, so all elites must be mobilized for the expedition." Haotian.
He slowly said: "The combat effectiveness of the Poli Legion and others is not very strong, and they have no ideological concepts that can support a long-term campaign. Therefore, I am only going to mobilize the legions directly under our Hetao."
Luo Xiang and Chu Xiangcheng both nodded. Now among the five generals in Hetao, Bian Zhongxing is in charge of Hetao, Xingke and Fengjing are outside the Great Wall, Xuesha and Dugu are still in Lingnan, and Xuanji is also responsible for mediating here, so they are qualified to participate in this kind of
Only Luo Xiangchu and Xiangcheng were left in the high-level discussion. Of course, Hao'an, who was sitting quietly on the side, and Hao Jin, who was wandering around, were also there.
"Old rules, the Rock Legion looks after the house. Our first target is the Northeastern Three Kingdoms, so the Golden Eagle Legion in Jiayuguan Pass and the Canglang Legion in Yumen Pass cannot be mobilized. The Jiaolong Legion cannot participate in the war. I am going to mobilize all the remaining elites to go north. Haixi
Although it is a soft persimmon, Beijing is not a fuel-saving lamp. We must not take it lightly."
Luo Xiang made some calculations. In this way, the legions that Hetao can mobilize include five main legions: Tiger Ben, White Tiger, Blood Killer, Falcon, and Qinglong, as well as five second-line legions: Red Snake, Honor, Feng Wu, Snow Lion, and Qilin.
,,The total military strength is as high as 750,000, at least in terms of military strength, it is no longer afraid of the three Northeastern countries.
"In this case, our internal forces, especially the Panshi Corps responsible for the defense of the interior, must adjust their positions." Luo Xiang's eyes flashed and he said with a smile: "The 50,000 soldiers from Zhu Xi's high command do not need to go north and are stationed directly in the sky.
Du Shengjing. After all, after the Huben Army left, it would be difficult to control the situation without a sufficiently elite force. Of the 50,000 soldiers of the Mushan tribe, 20,000 were stationed in Huangzhou. This is the strategic point of the Hexi Road. It is absolutely
There is no room for error.”
Chu Xiangcheng smiled. It seemed that Luo Xiang was ready to complete the initial layout. Naturally, he had no objection to this proposal, so he nodded in agreement with a smile.
Haotian was also smiling. He just glanced at Luo Xiang casually and agreed to Luo Xiang's proposal. But Luo Xiang felt a little guilty in his heart. He always felt that Haotian should have seen what he was thinking, but since everyone
He didn't explain anything, so Luo Xiang was rarely confused for a moment.
"Then what are you going to do next, my lord?" Chu Xiangcheng asked casually.
"Destroy Haixi first, before the first heavy snow comes in winter!" Haotian said calmly.
"What?" Luo Xiang and Chu Xiangcheng exclaimed at the same time.
Haotian led his army to set off. Now the troops in Hetao are relatively scattered. In the entire Tiandu Holy Capital, there is only a complete Huben Army and the Legion of Honor that just escorted Haotian back from a tour of the country, with a total of 150,000 troops. However, Haotian
However, he took all the 150,000 troops with him and resolutely sent troops to the north regardless of everyone's opposition.
As for the Tiandu Shengjing whose troops have been drained, Haotian is not worried at all. He still has hundreds of thousands of elites on both sides of the Xijiang River. Unless someone really doesn't want to live, he will never dare to do something stupid.
In just two days, 150,000 Hetao elites crossed the river across the entire Sixteen Youyun Prefectures and arrived at Shanhaiguan, known as the first pass of the Great Wall. Accompanied by Bu Xianzhi, Haotian slowly
Slowly climbing up the tower of Shanhaiguan, looking at the empty land in the north, Haotian suddenly felt proud.
Everyone in the world thinks that I am marching to the North of Haotian just for revenge, but do they know that I am also doing this to regain the glory of China for thousands of years, and to leave a stable environment for future generations?
In their eyes, I, Haotian, kill tens of millions of people just to vent my personal anger and go against heaven, so what? As a man, I should be happy with my grudges, even if I am wrapped in horse leather, it will be hearty. Since in the world
In the eyes of humans, all of Haotian's expeditions go against heaven and do not comply with God's will. So, let's call this expedition a battle to conquer heaven!
On top of the city tower, a faint smile appeared on Haotian's lips, and Bu Xianzhi beside him suddenly had a very bad premonition. The blood in the eyes of this young overlord suddenly became a thousand times thicker, and the mountains and seas
At the point where they meet, an aura of being the only one in the world arises spontaneously.
"Beyond the Great Wall, rivers of blood are really going to flow this time." The old Korean wise man shook his head and thought helplessly.
Haotian pulled out his sword with a swipe, pointed at the rising sun, and shouted with great pride: "Who will fight for me, Haotian, in the world!"
"I am willing to wash the mountains and rivers with my lord's blood!" 150,000 elites shouted in unison.
"Okay! You are worthy of being my hetao man! The battle to conquer the sky begins!"
