In front of the two armies, An Gouer, who was listening to what Zhang Kuang was saying, suddenly dropped the wine bag in his hand to the ground, and pulled out the horizontal knife from his waist, with a cold chill in his eyes.
"More than three thousand people? Damn it, I will send troops to Dashi immediately, and the two countries of Tianzhu will slaughter their idiots!"
His arrogant expression changed, and he immediately raised his hand to hold down the gloomy An Gouer: "Jiang He, calm down, don't be impulsive."
"Uncle, there are more than 3,000 people, how do you want me to calm down?
I have been traveling to the West for more than ten years without losing more than 3,000 children in one fell swoop. Because of their greed, the two countries of Great Food coveted the goods of the people of my Dalong caravan, and actually massacred more than 3,700 innocent people.
What's the use of keeping these barbarians if they don't directly slaughter them? "
“This is His Majesty’s will!
This time the army marches westward to capture the princes and ministers of the two countries who massacred the people of our Dalong caravan. We must not use the slaughtering knife rashly against the unarmed people of the two countries who are willing to surrender to our Dalong dynasty. "
"Brother, what do you think? Although these barbarians are currently surrendering to my powerful dragon army, they may not continue to surrender in the future.
Don't take these barbarians too simply. There are also some ambitious and ambitious people among them.
Once they become stronger, they will naturally dare to ignore my great dragon power.
They are surrendering now just because they are weak and do not dare to be enemies with my dragon.
Let me say, it would be more satisfying to massacre the city directly. All the deep hatred and hatred will disappear, and it will be over. "
Zhang Kuang gently patted An Gouer's shoulder, turned around and scanned the boundless wilderness of yellow sand in front of him.
"How can you and I understand what your Majesty is thinking?
Although I don’t know what His Majesty’s specific intention is, I think it has a lot to do with the black water he mentioned inadvertently on the eve of his expedition.
He should want to leave the obedient people of the two countries to mine these so-called black waters just like our Dalong people who mine gold and silver mines. "
An Gouer looked at Zhang Kuang in confusion: "Black water? Water made from ink?"
Zhang Kuang shook his head silently: "I don't know, but this black water seems to be of great use in the hands of the former young prince of the Jin Kingdom, Wanyan Feixiong.
His Majesty mentioned the specific use and stopped talking.
The old man and others are not clear either.
However, recalling His Majesty's solemn demeanor at the time, I thought that the black water he mentioned must be of extraordinary value.
Your Majesty is only profit-seeking... ahem... you also know the vision of the Gao Yuan Yuan Department.
There are 400,000 elite soldiers and horses in the inner palace, and 400,000 elite soldiers and horses in the western regions.
The expeditionary coalition totaled more than 800,000 people and spent tens of thousands of food and supplies to travel thousands of miles across the mountains and rivers. The 800,000-strong army traveled across mountains and rivers to conquer two small barbarian countries, just to capture hundreds of executioners who massacred our Dalong people and escorted them back to the country for questioning.
Do you think this is His Majesty’s character? "
“This…is really not like the character of a big brother.
The food and fodder for the 800,000-strong army, even with the support of the Western Region countries, would consume at least half a year's tax revenue from the national treasury in the early stage.
Just to promote his power as the Great Dragon Emperor, he captured hundreds of executioners who were greedy for money.
How could the eldest brother do such a thing that would bring a loss to grandma’s family! "
Zhang Kuang smiled lightly, nodded slightly, took off the horse's saddle and inserted it heavily into the yellow sand.
“So, in this land of thousands of miles of yellow sand, there must be something of equal value to the expansion of territory.
Gold mines, silver mines, gem mines, coal mines, and even the so-called black water.
No matter what it is, in this Western Expedition, we must at least double the food and supplies consumed by the barbarians of the two countries.
You massacred the people of both countries. Once you find black water, gold, and silver mines, you can't let the elite troops who have experienced hundreds of battles go to work as miners, right?
Secondly, I and Nangong Shuai have not received your Majesty's reply letter yet, and it is unknown how long they will be stationed in the two countries in the future.
You slaughtered them, who will provide the brothers with food and grass?
Everyone is gone and you can’t even recruit them by force.
Rely on domestic support? Have you ever thought about how much it will cost? "
"me--"
An Gouer scratched his head angrily: "It's the child who is reckless."
“It’s understandable to be angry for a moment.
However, you are also the commander-in-chief of the Dragon Fleet. You must remember that no matter what happens in the future, you must think twice before acting on impulse.
It is a taboo for a commander to spoil the overall plan for the sake of quick gain. "
"Yes, yes, what I said makes sense, the child has learned a lesson!"
"Also, on the eve of my expedition, Your Majesty gave me a secret letter, instructing me to read it after the expedition against the two countries is over."
"Oh? What does the letter say?"
Zhang Kuang looked at An Gou'er and hesitated for a moment, remembering the relationship between Young Master Liu and An Gou'er, and didn't feel there was anything to hide from him.
"Go all the way west if you can."
"As far as we can, go all the way west?"
He nodded arrogantly and looked at the western sky. There was a hint of confusion in his old and sharp eyes, which was a kind of confusion about the unknown road ahead.
"Yes! At first, I and Brother Nangong discussed this issue on the way to the Western Regions.
How much does Your Majesty attach great importance to the two countries? He actually mobilized 800,000 elite soldiers and horses from all the countries after the unification of the world.
At that time, they had never been exposed to Dashi or Tianzhu, so the old man and his wife were still worried.
I thought that these two barbarians would be a rare and powerful enemy of my Western Expedition Army!
Who would have thought that the military equipment was inferior to that of the original Turks, and their combat power was even more vulnerable.
Around March, I started bombarding with artillery fire all the way, pushing the fifty-three cities of the Dashi Kingdom with few opponents, and finally reached Baghdad, the city of the Dashi King.
Facing such an opponent, I am both happy and disappointed.
Fortunately, against such an opponent, only tens of thousands of brothers who followed me on the expedition were unfortunately buried in foreign lands. Ninety-nine percent of the brothers will be able to return to their hometowns one day.
I am disappointed that such a small barbarian country is worthy of such an effort by His Majesty and his soldiers.
You also understand how powerful the 800,000-strong army is, with the military line extending for dozens of miles, stretching from the ground to the sky as far as the eye can see.
Before I opened His Majesty's secret message, I was still a little at a loss and didn't know what to do next.
Now it seems that your majesty has given me such instructions and wants to go to the west to conquer Dashi. The two countries of Tianzhu are just the starting point of my dragon's westward expedition. The end point of our hundreds of thousands of soldiers should be in the far west, which is even more distant.
As for where the Western Expedition will end up, no one knows, and no one can guarantee it.
Only God knows.
Maybe the real ends of the earth.
It may take ten years, or even longer, before the brothers can truly return to the throne as teachers!
Seventy years is rare in life.
Jinxi is so ambitious that he can swallow thousands of miles of mountains and rivers like a tiger.
He took half a hundred troops with him and conquered the barbarians across thousands of mountains and rivers.
But to return to Dalong, I think I have to wait until the day when my soul returns to my hometown!
The foster father went, Han Shuai went, and the three old commanders Deng, Wan, and Yun also went there one after another.
Eventually it will be our old bones' turn.
The new generation is better than the old generation.
Jianghe, your generation will rule the world from now on.
We must not lose the glory left behind by our ancestors who sacrificed their lives and shed their blood! "
An Gou'er looked at Madang's nostalgic and confused eyes and picked up the wine bag that fell on the ground.
Looking at the wine bag with half of the wine left, he respectfully held it in front of Zhang Kuang.
"Uncle...no, Zhang Shuai.
You are wrong, why wait until the soul returns to the dragon.
This is Dalong. Although we are far away from our hometown, where we are standing now is Dalong’s territory.
Although our family is not here now, one day, the dragon's flag will be planted here forever, and our descendants will forever live in this land where the blood of our ancestors was shed.
Although we will never see that day, our blood will not be shed in vain.
Even though it is thousands of miles away, wherever my dragon cavalry goes, it is the territory of the dragon.
Respect the ancestors, respect Zhang Shuai. "
Zhang Kuang pursed his lips and looked at An Gou'er who was speaking righteously with red eyes. He slowly took off the wine bag from his waist and uncorked it. He took out a teacup from the bag, poured a glass of wine and held it up. In his hand, he shouted loudly to the soldiers of the two armies behind him.
“Wherever the iron cavalry goes, it is the territory of the dragon.
Respect the ancestors of Dalong, respect the officers and soldiers of Dalong’s expeditionary army, and respect the officers and soldiers of Dalong’s patrol.
Respect me, the Great Dragon, for immortality for thousands of years. Respect me, the Great Dragon Emperor, for one day his merits will surpass those of the Three Emperors, and his virtue will be greater than that of the Five Emperors.
Respect the world and respect respectable people. "
"mighty!"
"mighty!"
"mighty!"
