It was October 28th, the third year of Dalong's reign.
Although it is not as cold as freezing weather in Dalong Territory at this time, the people have nothing special to do, and at least they are not willing to go out.
They all huddled at home and lived their own comfortable little lives.
In the Dashi Kingdom, the temperature in October was as warm as early spring, which made Dalong's soldiers marvel.
Zhang Kuang and other generals also understood why there were no cotton-padded clothes for the winter in the food and grass shipped by the court in the past few times.
At first they thought it was because the national treasury was tight. After supplying a large amount of food and grass, they could no longer afford the cotton-padded clothes that hundreds of thousands of soldiers wore to keep out the cold during the winter.
Only now did they realize that His Majesty had predicted that even in the coldest months of winter, there would be no need for cotton-padded clothes to keep out the cold in the two countries.
On this day, Zhang Kuang and the others thoroughly figured out the king of Dashi Kingdom, Mohammed Med, and as expected, they fled with their family to Yemen, a subsidiary country of Dashi.
After some deliberation, Zhang Kuang ordered deputy commander Yeruha and warlord Hu Yanyu to lead their own troops and act separately.
Deputy Commander Yeruha led 100,000 elite soldiers and horses to be stationed in the city of Baghdad. While familiar with the environment of the Food Kingdom as soon as possible, he also sent scouts to investigate the situation in Egypt and New Rome in the west of the Food Kingdom.
Hu Yanyu, on the other hand, led 80,000 soldiers and horses out of Susa City, southeast of the Dashi King's City, and rushed to Tianzhu to assist in writing letters. The scouts never contacted Marshal Nangong Ye on the right, so as to end the war in Tianzhu as soon as possible.
However, they did not know that Zhang Kuang, the general on the right, and Nangong Ye, who had not yet contacted the generals on the right, had already ended the war of the Hapu Dynasty in northern Tianzhu, just like them.
As for Zhang Kuang himself, he personally led 100,000 cavalry to chase the food king who fled to Yemen.
The three hit it off immediately, immediately organized their troops to prepare for war, and went their separate ways at noon that day.
After Zhang Kuang and Hu Yanyu led their troops and horses to leave the Dashi King City, Yeluha immediately dispatched three hundred scouts to investigate all the way west.
At the same time, soldiers were dispatched to secretly search for the location of black water in Dashi Kingdom according to Liu Mingzhi's instructions.
As for the black water called oil that Liu Mingzhi described, Yeruha didn't know how important it was to Liu Mingzhi or to the Dalong court.
I only vaguely learned from Liu Mingzhi that this black water might be reused by Wanyan Feixiong in the future.
Although Yeruha didn't know the reason, he still obeyed the order honestly and started to search for black water in the Dashi Kingdom.
Biro City of Hapu Dynasty.
Nangong Ye, Wanyan Chizha and others looked at the young man tied up in front of them with indifferent expressions. It was none other than Hapu King Bahori.
Nangong Ye and others really didn't know how to evaluate King Bahori who waited until the royal city was breached before thinking of escaping.
Call him as timid as a mouse, but he actually persisted until the fall of the royal city. Call him a hero. As soon as the royal city fell, he ignored the lives of the people in the city and escaped from the city through a secret passage with a large amount of gold and silver treasures. .
If it weren't for those Tianzhu soldiers and horses who were familiar with the terrain to lead the way, this guy might actually have escaped.
Yun Chong put down the tea cup in his hand, looked away from Baholi who looked panicked and looked at Nangong Ye.
"Commander, after wasting four or five days, Bahouli, one of the culprits who massacred the people of our Dalong Merchant, was finally brought to justice.
Should we kill the spirits in heaven who are comforting my three thousand people on the spot, or should we escort them back to Beijing for His Majesty's questioning? "
Nangong Ye stroked his beard and fell silent. How to deal with Bahouli and the executioner ministers imprisoned in the army who were all stained with the blood of Dalong people was really a troublesome matter.
Although execution on the spot is very satisfying, escorting him back to Beijing and having His Majesty personally question the crime will further demonstrate the power of Dalong.
Nangong Ye silently looked at the deputy commander Wanyan Chiezha on the side: "Brother Wanyan, what do you mean?"
"Escort me back to Beijing!
Your Majesty now needs to personally question Bahori and others about their achievements as executioners.
Although if we execute him on the spot, we can also demonstrate the power of my great dragon, but for His Majesty..."
Nangong Ye was stunned for a moment and immediately understood the meaning of Wanyan Chizha's words.
For Liu Mingzhi, the emperor who rebelled and seized the throne, he was able to personally execute the barbarian kings and ministers who dared to slaughter the people of Dalong thousands of miles away, which indeed has an achievement that cannot be ignored.
After all, he was the king of the former Jin Kingdom who could participate in state affairs. His foresight in political affairs was beyond the reach of generals like himself who had been guarding the borders.
Thinking of the profound meaning in Wanyan Chizha's words, Nangong Ye couldn't help but raise a sour smile.
He is the uncle of the third princess, and naturally Liu Mingzhi's uncle, but at the same time he is also the brother of the former empress dowager and the old uncle of the imperial court.
Selfishly, he naturally hopes that the previous dynasty can be restored and the Li family can be restored. Gongzhi, he also hopes that Liu Mingzhi can sit firmly on the throne and lead Dalong to an unprecedented level of strength.
Although he didn't want to admit it, he had to admit that if Li Ye was in power, Dalong would never be as strong and prosperous as it is today without Liu Mingzhi's assistance.
It is an honor to be able to witness with one's own eyes the prosperity of Dalong today and the peace and prosperity of the country and the people.
It is not a pride to be able to command hundreds of thousands of troops to march against barbarians thousands of miles away with the support of a strong backing without any worries.
But this pride and honor came from the foundation of her own sister-in-law's family.
Wanyan Chizha looked at Nangong Ye who was silent with a slightly bitter expression, and drank tea silently without saying anything else.
Among the many generals present, he was one of the generals who least expected to see the Li Dynasty restored again.
After all, Dalong's country is now controlled by his niece's husband Liu Mingzhi.
Although he and Liu Mingzhi had various differences in the past, both publicly and privately, he hoped that the Liu family's empire could be completely stabilized and continued.
Because even if his little granddaughter Liu Luoyue does not inherit Dalong's 100,000-mile mountain and rivers in the future, at least the prosperity and wealth of the Wanyan family will not disappear like after the restoration of the Li Dynasty.
Yun Chong glanced at Nangong Ye and Wanyan Chizha, who looked at each other in silence, shook his head and sighed, not knowing what to say.
Nangong Ye could understand what Wanyan Chiezha meant, but why couldn't Yunchong understand the deeper meaning?
On the one hand, he was his nephew and son-in-law, and on the other hand, he felt guilty for the Li clan of the previous dynasty. The complicated meaning in his heart was not much better than that of Nangong Ye.
Cheng Kai and others looked at each other in confusion as the palace suddenly fell into a strange atmosphere. After hesitating for a moment, Cheng Kai coughed lightly.
"Commander, deputy commander, and governor, why don't we take Baholi under custody first.
Before the soldiers captured him, weren't we discussing the affairs of the Polo Dynasty in the south of Tianzhu?
Let’s continue discussing the Polo Dynasty in the future!
Anyway, Baholi has become a prisoner, and it won't be too late to discuss how to deal with them after we sort out our thoughts. "
"Yes, yes, General Cheng's words make sense, General Mo will second his opinion!"
"The general also agrees that he is just a prisoner. There is no need to worry about him. It is better to discuss the affairs of the Polo Dynasty and the Chola Kingdom first."
"We second the proposal."
Nangong Ye came back to his senses and nodded slightly: "Let's take him down first!"
Cheng Kai immediately waved to the soldiers outside the palace: "Come here, take Baholi down and serve him well."
"Got the order!"
Bahori, who was tied up by Wu Hua Da, struggled immediately upon seeing this, howling Tianzhu words that Nangong Ye and the others could not understand. However, no matter how hard he struggled, he still could not escape the fate of being escorted by his own soldiers.
Bahori's howl echoed outside the palace and gradually faded away. Nangong Ye glanced at the generals in the palace.
"What did you just say?"
Yunchong hurriedly put down his tea cup: "Commander, we have just discussed the issue of whether to continue to march into the Polo Kingdom and the Chola Kingdom.
According to the captured Tianzhu minister, after we captured Tuoling City, this Bahori not only sent envoys to request military assistance from the Dashi Kingdom, but also requested from his enemy the Polo Dynasty.
If the Polo dynasty agrees to Bahori's request and sends troops to assist, we will have a battle sooner or later.
In this case, the general thought that it would be better to strike first. "
Nangong Ye glanced at the military recorder who was writing quickly, and said calmly: "What if they don't come?
If we take the lead in attacking, we will be attacking an unknown force rashly! "
"this……"
A group of generals looked at each other in confusion, then secretly glanced at the military recorder and fell silent.
Cheng Kai and Chu Jing looked at each other and moved their eyes intelligently. The past of following Liu Mingzhi to conquer the Western Regions ten years ago came to their minds, and they couldn't help but smile.
"Commander, I, the great dragon, belong to the kingdom of heaven. The barbarians here should bathe in heaven's grace and submit to the king."
"General Cheng's words are correct. The Polo dynasty is a barbarian tribe in Tianzhu. In all likelihood, they have the same origin. They are like raccoons from the same hill.
If in the future, after we return our army to the dynasty, our dragon's caravan comes to do business again, and the Polo dynasty continues to do the things of the Hapu dynasty without becoming a king, wouldn't it mean that innocent people will suffer again? "
Nangong Ye, Wanyan Chizha, and Yun Chong looked at the three of them, Cheng Kai, who spoke righteously, and raised their brows, instantly understanding what they were thinking.
After making eye contact, Nangong Ye recalled the distance between the two countries and Biro City and coughed twice.
“Immediately send two envoys to the Pala Kingdom and the Chola Kingdom.
Order his king to rush to Bira City within three months, surrender to my great dragon king transformation, and bathe in my great dragon's heavenly grace.
If it fails to expire, you will be an enemy of the dragon and you will be punished by heaven. "
