"Quick, quick, this way!"
"Run, everyone, run!"
Long Yan goes south.
The land of the Southern Barbarians.
At this time, Huo Buquli had just taken over the entire Jiaozhou and Canglan Kingdom with great effort. The powerful Liangshan Army had an absolute advantage in this war that lasted for two years. Not only that, the combat effectiveness of the Liangshan army has also increased exponentially in the past two years.
War is always the best way to train soldiers.
Three hundred thousand.
At this time, Huo Buqu's troops could already maintain a strength of 300,000. If there is a loss, continue to make up for it, make up for it, and then continue to fight and train troops. In the past two years, Huo Buquli and the others have been defeated in this way.
"Haha, big brother, those bastards from the Canglan Kingdom can't make any trouble at all now!"
Huo Buquli's younger brother, Huobu Zhuoli, laughed loudly on his horse.
Huo Buquli also smiled slightly, with a look of relief on his face.
This time.
Their army moved the Canglan Kingdom to various mountainous areas, and completely captured the last viable force of the Canglan Royal Family that was still lingering in the forest area. The reason why this process took more than a year is that these Canglan people know the mountainous terrain here too well.
This also made Huo Buquli pay a heavy price. Therefore, in this year, the Liangshan army was consumed by the guerrilla warfare of the Canglan Kingdom, with a loss of 20,000 people.
Twenty thousand.
Huo Buquli was still very distressed.
Fortunately, at this time, the Canglan Kingdom was completely taken over by him. He was relieved in his heart, because it was almost the same as the master's plan, but a little late...
"Bring people here!"
Huo Bu Zhuoli roared.
Soon, the fleeing royal family members of the Canglan Kingdom were brought over. A group of people surrounded an old man who was still dressed gorgeously. The old man was trembling, but even in this situation, he was still wearing gold and silver, which was extremely luxurious.
Huo Buquli had a flash of strong contempt and hatred in his eyes.
He had long known about the Canglan Kingdom. This small country's autocratic monarchy had reached an extreme state. The people of the royal family were extremely extravagant, but their own people had neither enough food nor clothing to cover their bodies. In a rich place like Laos, there were several major famines in the history of the Canglan Kingdom, with people starving to death all over the land. This situation cannot be matched even in Liangshan, which was backward at the beginning.
In Huo Buquli's view, the name of the Canglan Kingdom sounds very romantic, but in fact, it is full of blood-filled sins.
"General..."
"General, spare your life!"
When the Canglan royal family saw Huo Buquli, a strong man, they immediately began to kneel down, kowtow, and howl in various ways.
Huo Buquli looked at this group of people coldly.
Did he know that the local guerrillas led by the royal family had killed many of his brothers?
This thing about the royal family...
If you keep it, it will be a cancer.
"kill!"
Huo Buquli gave the order coldly.
For a time, all the captured people from the Canglan Kingdom were beheaded. Today, this mountain forest will be filled with ghosts.
Never suffer from future troubles.
Huo Buquli did not escape this bloody scene because he knew that it was too late.
The current situation in Long Yan's country is extremely complicated.
He must end things here as soon as possible.
Then……
Take the most combat-effective troops in his hands to the nearest train station.
That's right.
It's a train station.
This is the train station that Liangshan worked on overnight. At that time, if there is any emergency in Long Yan's country, then Huo Buqu's 300,000-strong army will be a surprise force...
A real surprise!
Everyone believed that at this time, Long Yan's domestic situation and Liangzhou's situation had been deliberately suppressed by Xie Tianyao, and he no longer had the capital to compete for the throne.
Because there are too few troops.
After the disarmament, Liangzhou only had 200,000 combat troops left... and another 100,000, who were basically recruits who had never experienced war.
Under such circumstances...
What can Liangzhou do to compete with other vassal kings?
As for the Western Regions, Southern Barbarians, and Central Asia...these soldiers and horses are really too far away. It is beyond their reach, and current transportation is simply not enough to allow them to return to the country to aid in a short period of time.
However.
Liu Zheng had already made arrangements.
A year ago, he started preparing for the steam train; a year ago, he started preparing for all this.
at this time……
It's time to prepare.
Huo Buquli took a deep breath.
Long Yan is going to be in chaos.
Young Master, you are about to rise.
Their time is coming.
…
The funeral procession is still moving forward.
Xie Tianyao, who was riding a dragon, quietly watched the intelligence from various places sent by the secret guards without saying a word.
Manager Zhou was waiting at the side: "Your Majesty, Liangzhou is still very honest at present... Whether it is the soldiers and horses of the Southern Barbarians, the soldiers and horses of the Western Regions, and even their Lingchen from East India, they have already reached the Western Mediterranean... …this……"
Xie Tianyao took a breath, looked at Manager Zhou with gloomy eyes, and said calmly: "Old Zhou, how much benefit have you received from Liangzhou? You always talk to them."
Manager Zhou was shocked and almost cried: "Your Majesty, the conscience of heaven and earth, the conscience of heaven and earth, I don't mean that... I'm just analyzing it objectively."
Xie Tianyao laughed so hard that tears almost flowed out.
That's right.
Any movement of soldiers and horses in Liangzhou is under his control. After staying in the deep palace of Long Yan for decades, he still had this thing.
Xie Tianyao laughed at himself: "I want to use him, but I have to guard against him..."
"Old Zhou, tell me, why is this young man so contradictory?"
Manager Zhou didn't dare to speak.
He naturally knew Xie Tianyao's conflicting mood. This Liu Zheng is really awesome. It can be said that the Longyan Dynasty has lasted for thousands of years and has never been as powerful and flourishing as it is today. This is the best Dragon Flame. Likewise, everyone firmly believes that the Dragon Flame in the future will also be a better Dragon Flame.
However……
The royal family and the absolute monarchy became something incompatible at this time.
These two contradictions are what really trouble Xie Tianyao.
The ancestral temple and the country are the only belief that the Chinese civilization has continued for thousands of years. No matter how great Xie Tianyao's situation is, he doesn't want the ancestral temple and the country to be ruined in his own hands... Naturally, he doesn't want to be ruined in the hands of his successors.
The way to employ people.
The way of checks and balances.
This is something that every emperor needs to spend his entire life pondering.
However.
Liu Zheng is really too dazzling.
After learning that there was no illegal activity in Liangzhou, Xie Tianyao took a deep breath.
As long as this guy didn't do anything special, he would be relieved.
The other vassal kings and scholar-bureaucrats could not escape from his palm no matter how much they jumped.
