In the sixth year of the Apocalypse, Jiazi, the first day of the first lunar month.
Since the ugly time, snowflakes have begun to fall in the sky over Kyoto, and they are getting heavier and heavier.
When the day comes, Kyoto is completely white and covered in silver.
On this first day of the Jiazi Year, the wind and snow were extremely heavy.
Thirteen officials were executed last night, just like the New Year and the old, sweeping away the heavy dusk.
Before heading to the northern border, Zhao Wujiang's death list once again cleared away some treacherous and stingy officials in the court, and shocked the hidden Xiao Xiao.
After saying goodbye to the empress, he rode his horse northward alone.
The poison in Dugu Tianqing's body could not be delayed, so he set off after New Year's Eve.
He was dressed in a jet black robe, embroidered with silver cloud patterns that were the same color as the vast sky and earth. He was wrapped in a thick cloak and a bamboo hat on his head. He was riding a maroon horse and shuttled through the howling wind and snow.
The further north you go, the further away from Kyoto, the heavier the wind and snow become.
It seems that there is only one person and one horse left in the world, walking forward in the vastness.
After walking through thousands of miles of ice and passing through thousands of miles of snow, he was getting closer and closer to Tianguan Jubei City, the majestic northern border of Daxia.
I went to Jubei City firstly to treat Dugu Tianqing, and secondly to get close contact with the northern border of Daxia and find out more information about the Prairie Royal Court.
If you know yourself and your enemy, you can fight a hundred battles without danger.
Compared to the Southern Miao Territory, which Daxia knew a lot about, Daxia knew much less about the Northern Prairie Royal Court.
First, in the historical records of the Great Xia Dynasty, the Prairie Royal Court was different from the frequent frictions and even many wars in southern Xinjiang. The Prairie Royal Court actually had very little friction with the Great Xia Dynasty, and most of the time they were non-aggressive. status, and the less you are exposed to, the less you will understand.
The second reason is the living habits of the grassland royal court. This nation is not good at farming and is good at nomadic herding due to the favorable weather, location and people. Therefore, they spend nearly half of the year away from Daxia and head further north or east.
As for the Miao Territory in the south, except for daily frictions and occasional wars, it can be regarded as Daxia's true neighbor.
Miao territory has always existed since the founding of Daxia.
There is even a folk legend in Daxia. It is said that Miao Jiang and Daxia were a family thousands of years ago, but later they had conflicts for unknown reasons and became irreconcilable feuds.
Therefore, Daxia knew far more about Miao territory than the grassland royal court outside the northern border.
But the current situation is that Daxia will face wars with the north and south and even the east. In the context of the war, it is necessary to know more about the enemy.
Zhao Wujiang did not want a war in his heart.
He just wants to live a life where he is hungry and suffers from cramps at night.
War consumes people and money, and also causes many lives to stay forever in the years when the war broke out. Some of these lives are the sole child of a certain family, and some are the pillars of a certain family.
Therefore, what was destroyed by the war was not just the country, nor just a certain soldier, but every household, or even the entire country.
But the world is absurd and endless, and fights are always with it.
For needs, desires, jealousy, greed, survival, etc., there will be people fighting.
Even for a breath, for certain promises, and for peace of mind, some people will fight and fight.
It's like life is always a never-ending war, with yourself and others, with yourself and external objects...
The battle between Southern Xinjiang and Daxia may be to avenge a revenge that happened many years ago, or it may be because it covets Daxia's vast natural treasures, or it may be for other reasons.
The battle between the Prairie Royal Court and Daxia is more about the mountains and seas of Daxia. As long as they have the treasure land of Daxia, their people will no longer have to travel around as nomads and can settle down and enjoy the tranquility of the years.
The Japanese people who crossed the sea to the east wanted to get a piece of the war and drink the blood of Daxia. They wanted to change from poor imitators to orthodox, or they just wanted to invade and enjoy the sin and evil of the collapse of people. ...
