"Look at Danbas, he is still ambitious. I can't get older."
"This is my army!"
Yas, the king of Luoluo, rode his horse on the top of the mountain and watched the mighty army marching towards the east.
Next to him was Prince Holden. Yas looked at the prince's tall body, sharp eyes, and black beard and hair, and said with some envy: "It's great to be young."
Holden squinted, "Your Majesty, I saw Danbas!"
"Where?"
"There!"
Following the direction of the prince's finger, Yas saw Prime Minister Danbas, who was surrounded by people.
Compared with some old emperors, Yas appears younger and more energetic.
"They say that asking for something but not getting it can make people young. Danbas has always wanted to dominate the court and even usurp the throne, but I have been suppressing him these years. He asked for something but couldn't get it, so he pursued it. Prince, what are you pursuing?
"
Holden's eyes became brighter, "Lolo is very powerful, but we have a shortcoming, ignorance. Look at our citizens, the only place they get knowledge is from the bards. But those bards themselves are idiots
.
Look at those powerful people. They only know how to greedily grab money and food, but they don’t know about construction. They don’t know how to build a powerful Luoluo. There are also those disgusting barbarians... Your Majesty, if you want to change all this, you can only ask
East."
He looked to the east, which was also the direction in which the army was marching.
"The Tang Dynasty is undergoing a civil war. This is our best opportunity. By attacking Western Xinjiang, we can obtain craftsmen and acquire knowledge... Damn it, we have begged the Tang Dynasty many times to give craftsmen, but every time they came, they only built towers.
, or the craftsmen who make luxury goods. This is trying to corrode our will. Since they won’t give it to us, let’s get it ourselves!”
"Horton, my son, I'm very happy that you have this insight!" Yas smiled sincerely, "This expedition is Luoluo's first in many years. Taking advantage of the civil war in the Tang Dynasty,
Destroy them. And I will gain supreme prestige because of this. And you, my son, you will become a hero. My people will speak for you, do you understand?"
"yes!"
In the marching army, someone raised his hand and said, "Long live your Majesty!"
Loro Emperor Yas raised his hand and pointed to the east.
"go ahead!"
"Long live!"
…
Western Xinjiang.
Since the news of Shi Zhongtang's rebellion came, Hanhai Jiedushi Zhao Song rarely showed up.
An envoy came to Chang'an and asked him to send troops to serve the king, but he was flatly rejected.
——The barbarians are watching eagerly. If I step forward, they will flood the western border with the back foot. Furthermore, by the time I arrive with my army, the situation will have been decided. So, what am I going to do?
Even Yang Songcheng’s envoy was rejected.
When the news came that the emperor fled to Shu in panic, Zhao Song began to show up.
He went to the army to encourage the soldiers to practice well and protect the western frontier, and never mentioned the matter of King Qin.
When the news came that King Qin had raised troops in northern Xinjiang and revealed his identity as the youngest son of the emperor, Zhao Song was silent for a long time.
What followed was a magnificent battle.
After the dust settled, everyone felt that the new emperor would send someone to persuade them to surrender.
But no.
No one came in the first year, and everyone in Western Xinjiang was a little uneasy, wondering if the new emperor had forgotten that this territory still belonged to the Tang Dynasty.
Or rather, the new emperor felt that Western Frontier was too barren and the barbarians were constantly harassing him, which was a headache, so he left Western Frontier here like a burden.
Until this day, hundreds of cavalry arrived outside Yazhou City.
"Is this Yazhou?"
The tired Zhao Sanfu looked at Yazhou City and said, "It's too small."
"This is not Chang'an, and Western Xinjiang does not need a majestic city."
Zheng Yuandong stroked his beard and said: "Let's negotiate!"
A small official accompanying him came forward to communicate with the defenders.
"Messenger from Chang'an?" The brigade commander guarding the gate turned his eyes and looked at Zheng Yuandong.
"That is Minister Zheng of the Ministry of War." The young official said cautiously.
"Hold on!"
The brigade commander called for the officials, carefully checked the documents, and then saluted, "I have met Mr. Zheng."
…
"The emperor sent Zheng Yuandong, accompanied by only a few hundred horses, to persuade him to surrender!"
In the lobby, Chief Shi Langning said in a deep voice: "The Duke of Guo wanted to send an envoy to Chang'an to test it out, but who would have thought that the emperor would suddenly take action against the powerful people in Guanzhong. The Duke wanted to take a look again. But after seeing this,
But he saw trouble."
Zhao Song felt that the emperor was crazy and wanted to wait for the results before making a decision.
What I didn't expect was that the emperor suppressed those meat eaters neatly.
Then, Zhao Song was shocked to find that the world was at peace. Only the Western Border under his control was left.
what to do?
Surrender seems to have missed the best opportunity.
If you don't submit, what will happen if Chang'an raises troops to attack?
Zhao Song was in a dilemma.
It would be okay if his relationship with Yang Songcheng was not so close, but back then he had sided with Yang Songcheng and opposed the emperor. Would the emperor have poisoned him because of this?
Zhao Song was anxious.
Until now, he finally waited for the second boot to hit the ground.
"What do you think we should do?" Zhao Song asked.
General Huo Fa said: "I will obey the orders of the Duke."
Lang Ning sighed, "I heard that Nan Zhou Xu lived quite comfortably in Chang'an. He was a frequent visitor in the teahouse and a patron in the brothel. It is said that he looked much younger than when he was in Southern Zhou."
This is to persuade Zhao Song to bow his head.
Zhao Song said: "Although Chang'an is good, it will not be free after all."
Even if the emperor pardons him, it is impossible for him to be in charge of the army again.
If the general loses his army, then the knight loses his world.
It's been a walking dead since then.
"My lord, the envoy is here."
A minor official came in to report.
"Please come in."
Zheng Yuandong and Zhao Sanfu came in.
Zhao Song was still sitting.
Zheng Yuandong walked to the front, turned his eyes, looked down at the crowd, stretched out his hand, and handed over the decree to the accompanying clerk.
"Your Majesty orders."
Ronning stood up.
Huo Fa stood up.
Zhao Song hesitated.
Zheng Yuandong didn't even look at him, "Western Xinjiang was taken over by Zheng Yuandong, the Minister of War, and the former Jiedushi Zhao Song... rushed back to Chang'an immediately." He raised his head and looked at Zhao Song, "Xing Guogong, please ask Zheng to read it again.
Really? Or I want Zheng to help you!"
"Don't dare!"
Zhao Song stood up tremblingly.
This man had a fierce look and a soft heart, and he was frightened out of his wits.
Zheng Yuandong looked around, "Who has any objection?"
"I will obey your Majesty's orders!"
Everyone bowed their heads.
Western Xinjiang is already remote, and its money, food, and army are far less than those in Southern and Northern Xinjiang. Now that the emperor holds the world in his hands, who dares to rebel?
Zhao Song didn't even dare to stay one more night and set off immediately.
Zheng Yuandong sat down and said: "Before setting off, your Majesty told me that Luo Luo has been doing something strange recently, and asked me to come here to take a look, walk around, and kill a few people."
Langning said: "Lolo has been invaded frequently in the past six months..."
"How did you cope with it?"
"As per usual practice, I got rid of things."
In the past two years, everyone in the Jiedushi government has been paying attention to the chaos in the Central Plains, so how could they care about Luo Luo's invasion.
"Assemble the army and prepare for war!"
Zheng Yuandong stood up and said solemnly: "I have been waiting for this moment for a long time."
…
"The scouts brought news." Holden found Yas, "It's still the same over in Western Xinjiang."
"Very good." In the army, Yas smiled and said: "This is our opportunity, let Danbas come."
The Prime Minister came and saluted, "Your Majesty."
"Good news, Western Xinjiang is still the same as before." Yas said: "This is God blessing Luoluo."
Danbas sighed, "Yes!"
Yasi has been asking people to spread the so-called God Bless Luoluo in the military to build momentum for himself.
"So, how do we attack?" Danbas asked.
"Of course, the whole army will rush forward. It will pour into the Western Border like a torrent, and it will frighten the Tang Dynasty with its unstoppable momentum!"
Two days later, the army was still more than ten miles away from the border.
"The Rangers have engaged the enemy." The scout reported, "Something's not right on the other side."
"What's wrong?"
"The Tang army on the opposite side seems to have high morale, but they were quite depressed a while ago."
"Oh! Find out the news!"
The army stopped, and Yas frowned and said: "What exactly happened that caused such drastic changes in Western Xinjiang."
Holden said: "Maybe it's Zhao Song's role."
"No, Zhao Song is just a guard dog, he doesn't have this ability."
Danbas came with a serious look on his face.
"Your Majesty, just now Xizuo risked his life to send you the latest news."
"I'm listening." Yas narrowed his eyes.
"Zhao Song has left, and Western Xinjiang is now taken over by Zheng Yuandong, the minister of the Ministry of War in Chang'an. After this person took over Western Xinjiang, he reorganized the army and was ready to fight."
…
"I have been lonely in Chang'an for a long time."
Zheng Yuandong stood on the top of the city, "Chang'an is a place where men's will is wasted. I have been sinking there for half my life, and now I am finally free. The world is vast and there is a lot to do. Men, be the murderers!"
…
"The situation in Western Xinjiang has changed."
In the big tent, Danbas was introducing the situation.
The accompanying civil and military officials frowned and listened.
"Your Majesty," a courtier said, "The key is to know the current changes in Chang'an."
"Yes! Chang'an was able to replace Zhao Song, which shows that the forces entering Guanzhong are not weak. Otherwise, how could Zhao Song bow his head?"
"All detailed operations in Western Xinjiang have been launched, and news will come in the next few days."
"Before that, we won't move!" Yas was very cautious.
…
"Not here yet?" Zheng Yuandong stood on the top of the city and looked forward to it.
…
"Your Majesty, the detailed work is here."
Xizuo entered the tent, looked at everyone, and said, "Your Majesty, the civil strife in the Tang Dynasty has ended."
"Who wins?" Yas asked.
If Shi Zhongtang wins, he will definitely not be able to take care of Western Xinjiang... just one Guanzhong is enough to make him miserable.
"Li Xuan, King of Qin in Northern Xinjiang, has conquered Shu and suppressed Guanzhong..."
"who?"
"Li Xuan, by the way, his original name was Yang Xuan."
"That Yang Xuan who easily defeated Luoluo's elite in Linton City with his accompanying cavalry!"
"His Majesty……"
Everyone looked at Yas.
Dambas is no exception.
Yas slowly looked at the ministers. Wherever he went, the ministers' eyes flickered.
