In the history of the empire, it often happened that leading generals relied on their own troops to threaten the court with war, but none of them had a good ending.
Even if the imperial capital compromised at the time, they would still find ways to pursue the case afterwards to prevent others from following suit. Now Song Zining has committed a big taboo by threatening military subversion for the sake of Qianye.
Qianye didn't think that the benefits gained from trade with the empire were important at all. Even if he was as rich as his country, he didn't have the weight in his heart that Zining, Jundu and others had.
If he had known that there would be such consequences, he would have endured this tone and continued trading with the empire. Anyway, before the New World, there was no such thing as the sap of the Holy Tree, so just pretend it never existed.
Eunuch Liu saw Qianye's worries and unexpectedly expressed relief.
He said that what Zining did was not necessarily a bad thing. The war situation in the new world was worrying, and everyone could see this. Without enough reinforcements, even if Song Zining had earth-shattering talents and wisdom that was astonishing from the past, he could not avoid the final defeat.
On the front line were not only Song Zining and Zhao Jundu, but also several princes, as well as powerful men with prominent backgrounds such as Wei Potian, who were only one step away from being a god general.
These people are not fools. Everyone knows that cutting off backup is a dead end. In this case, there are actually some people who, for some unknown reason, cut off the supply of sap from the most important sacred tree. No one knows the whole story. The Imperial Capital
And since I can't come up with a reasonable explanation, I'm afraid everyone will mutiny.
Therefore, what Song Zining said about the danger of mutiny on the front line is probably true. Of course, whether he was secretly fueling the situation is another matter.
Moreover, at least for now, Song Zining's performance is brilliant enough. No matter how mediocre Emperor Hao is, he will never do anything to him, not to mention that Emperor Hao is also a man of great talent and strategy.
After listening to Eunuch Liu's words, Qianye felt a little relieved. As for how much sacred tree sap should be traded with the empire, there is a lot of knowledge. It will not work if you give too much, and it will not work if you give less.
Qianye humbly asked for advice, and Eunuch Liu did not hesitate to give his advice. The trade volume finally reached was roughly two-thirds of the empire's full pharmaceutical production capacity. This way, there was room for maneuver in negotiations, and the war effort was not delayed.
Only the most elite troops can enter the Black Sun Valley. The elites drawn from many of the empire's troops have to undergo another week of special training in Qinlu before they can barely pass the test. No matter how much medicine is produced, there are not that many soldiers. And Qianye himself has it on hand.
You have to keep some leftovers in case someone does something wrong again.
In the face of absolute interests, reason and reason will be thrown away, and only the voice of strength can be heard.
After reaching the deal, Eunuch Liu had completed a major event. He did not leave immediately. Instead, he walked around the city of Bibo for a day, taking a look at various places, especially the transactions of various tribes, without commenting.
Before leaving, I only said goodbye to Qianye and then left quietly.
Eunuch Liu did not hide his itinerary from Qianye, but he seemed to have little interest in the summit of the mountains. He did not even go to the partially built training camp to take a look. Instead, he stayed in the trade market all day long, observing different races.
He even bought a lot of things, so much so that Qianye had some doubts about whether his space equipment could fit in it.
Of course, Eunuch Liu would not just walk around casually, he must have a purpose, but since he didn't say it, Qianye couldn't guess it.
As soon as Eunuch Liu left, Qianye arranged for a frigate and ordered people from the Yin and Kong families to accompany the ship and transport several boxes of sacred tree sap to the empire for trade.
The choice of escort was very important, so Qianye, half coaxing and half persuading, sent Miss Yin Qiqi to the frigate. From then on, her ears were much quieter.
After learning that Song Zining was winning steadily in the central region, and now that the sap of the Holy Tree on his side could keep up, the situation in the empire would not be much worse. Qianye put his worries aside and sent William to open the territory of the Burning Fire Territory.
By expanding the land, he entered a new world. The development of the new world was not only his own business, but also related to the fate of Zining Jundu, the empire and even the human race.
The existence of Black Sun Valley, for some reason, gave Qianye a strange feeling of familiarity and fear.
Unconsciously, the war between the Empire and Yongye in the Black Sun Valley has been going on for more than a month.
This time, Song Zining changed his previous strategy and set up multiple fortresses step by step. Within ten months, he conducted several fierce fortress offensive and defensive battles. At the same time, Song Zining also sent multiple troops to attack in the middle reaches of the Black Sun Valley.
Go and choose the opportunity to attack the supply line behind Yong Ye.
As a result, the classic mobile battles and annihilation battles that were hearty and hearty enough to be recorded in the history of war have been lost. The war has become muddy and heavy, and the number of casualties has skyrocketed. The death lists reported back to the empire every day are thick.
There are also many soldiers who have not been reported missing.
This style of play has attracted a lot of criticism.
The number of casualties in this month has almost caught up with the total number of previous developments in the new world, and the magical aura that enveloped Song Zining seems to have disappeared. There are also debris in the government and the public, and I will say the same thing when it comes to the defense of the fortress.
A few knowledgeable people can see that every time the fortress is attacked and defended, the dark race has an advantage, but the advantage is not big enough to determine the situation of the battle. The advantage makes the dark race unable to give up storming the fortress, and once they attack, they find it difficult to do so.
Just swallow it. Even if the fortress is finally captured, the empire gives up on its own initiative and is rarely forcibly breached.
Once or twice can be said to be accidental, but doing so again and again reflects Song Zining's unimaginable military strategy and divine skills. This is a bloodletting tactic. Each fortress is a knife with a blood groove, which is continuously consumed.
The elite and backbone of the dark race.
However, the casualties of the imperial soldiers are also shocking. Every day in the morning meeting of the military headquarters, the heaviest moment is to read out the casualty figures of the previous day. Whether they are old veterans or young and new talents, they are all overwhelmed by the heavy numbers.
Words come.
In just one month, the empire lost more than 100,000 soldiers. These were all elites and there was no cannon fodder. The core force equivalent to two or three legions was reimbursed. How can we not feel heartbroken?
Although the losses of the dark race were nearly three times that of the empire, many people still doubted Song Zining's strategy. It was too cruel and painful for the war to be like this. Every day of the new beginning, there will be countless fresh people.
Living lives are destined to become corpses, and all they get in exchange is more corpses of their enemies.
Of course, things are not going well for the Eternal Night Council, but their troops are still sending a steady stream of troops into the new world, and the empire can only grit its teeth and resist.
Every day that passes, the voices of doubts about Song Zining become louder. Fortunately, everyone is self-aware. Everyone knows that they cannot sit in Song Zining's seat, so they just question. Song Zining turned a deaf ear to all the voices from behind and focused on his peace.
The dark races fight to consume.
"One day, the dark race will be unable to bear it anymore, because they are three races, and we only have the human race." Every day, Song Zining repeated this sentence, then put on a cold metal mask and walked onto the battlefield.
In the dark, heavy battlefield, where the smell of blood is so strong that you can't breathe, there are occasionally a few bright colors. Song Zining sent out multiple groups of troops to harass the enemy's rear. Some of them failed, but some of them achieved particularly impressive results.
Among them, Wei Potian is the most eye-catching.
The most classic battle of the self-proclaimed Potian Hou actually accidentally brought the troops to a desperate situation. However, when they were trapped in Gufeng, the Wei family's troops showed incredible resilience and fought against an enemy that was nearly ten times their size.
The fierce battle lasted for a whole day and night. Wei Potian even used his own strength to withstand the siege of the other five marquises.
Although he was beaten in the battle and was basically unable to fight back, he was in a defensive state throughout the whole process and looked extremely dangerous, as if he would be defeated in the next moment.
However, the sword peak pointing straight into the sky above the battlefield always stood firm, giving the Wei family soldiers endless courage to fight to the death with their opponents and repel the attacks of the dark race time and time again.
In the end, the five marquis who besieged Wei Potian were the first to lose their strength. No matter how they attacked, Wei Potian's strength was reduced by at least eight points, making it painless and painless.
The Zanpakutō in Wei Potian's hand is also a weapon that frightens the dark race. If he is hit by it, it will basically take less than a week for the wound to heal. In the environment of the new world, it is even more difficult to be injured. Maybe
A bad, non-fatal injury could inexplicably kill him.
Whenever a critical moment comes, Wei Potian is always ready to back him up. Those marquises are all immortals and have an absolute advantage. Who is willing to accompany this madman to death?
At the end of the bloody battle, many human troops suddenly appeared around them, and Song Zining even came in person. He commanded the troops to set up another layer of encirclement from the outside, and defeated the Yongye troops surrounding Wei Potian in one fell swoop, killing tens of thousands of enemies.
After this battle, Wei Potian became famous, and the phantom of the sword peak was even recognized as the realm that those in the Wei family's Thousand Mountains Mountain can achieve after reaching the level of a god general: the peaks and mountains are unique.
Before Wei Potian could break through the Divine General Heavenly Pass, he realized the realm behind the Divine General. He received countless praises for a while, and some people even praised him as the third genius in the empire, second only to Zhao Song.
He was a genius, young, and had a prominent family background, so countless people began to think about getting married.
Someone with extraordinary powers even ran directly to the front line and found Wei Potian's head, but this guy looked at a loss at the time: "Proposing marriage? What kind of marriage? Yu Ying has already taken advantage of me, how can I find anyone else?"
As soon as these words came out, there was another uproar, and Zhao Yuying became famous.
It stands to reason that Duke Yan should be furious, but he just said lightly: "Young people, it is inevitable that there will be times when you are impulsive."
Such a statement is just short of saying that the raw rice has been cooked, so be it.
The marriage between the Zhao clan and the Marquis of Wei in the Far East was thus decided. The Zhao clan added another strong support in the Far East, and the Wei family could also benefit a lot from the Zhao clan. With the financial and material support of the Zhao clan, they were able to expand their presence in the Far East.
The development has also gone more smoothly. As for many aristocratic families returning disappointed, that is another matter.
In addition to Wei Potian, many young generals emerged from the empire during this battle, and they all fell into the eyes of major aristocratic families. They only waited for the war to end before proposing marriage.
Of course, during the war, no one would do this, firstly so as not to disrupt the morale of the military, and secondly, naturally, to see who could survive until the end of the war.
As corpses accumulate on the battlefield, the balance of victory seems to be slowly tilting towards the empire, but in Song Zining's eyes, this is not enough. rw
