Chong Yuan's last words are incredible. Not only Longri Kuangyang has never thought of it, but perhaps looking at the entire Central Plains world, no one has ever had any thoughts on Ming Qing, who has been secretly regarded as the "faint king" by countless people. Such a unique and immersive experience.
"The man from the number one city in the world? Are your words too exaggerated?" Longri Kuangyang was secretly surprised, but with a look of disdain on his face, he sneered: "What is the basis for your inference? "
"He can sit firmly on the throne for decades. Whether he is willing to be a puppet or deliberately hides his edge, it is not an easy task. How can he do it without deep patience?" Chong Yuan said softly. His tone was slow and deep: "The reason why I have such an inference is naturally not just a guess. I can verify my opinion with just one point."
Long Ri Kuangyang couldn't help but ask: "Which point?"
Chong Yuan suddenly stared at Long Ri Kuangyang and said in a deep voice: "When he became the new emperor, he transferred Wei Xianzhang, who had been a veteran of two dynasties, to the northwest Gale City!"
A hint of surprise appeared on the corner of Long Ri Kuangyang's mouth. Of course he had heard of the name Wei Xianzhang. This man was the father of Wei Changxin, the current lord of Dafeng City and the military governor of the town's border prefecture.
"After serving as a general for three generations in the Wei family, Wei Xianzhang served as a general of hussars and a minister of the Ministry of War during the reign of Emperor Wenjing. He was highly regarded by Emperor Wenjing." Chongyuan took a deep breath and said: "Dafeng City is the gateway to the northwest of the Central Plains. It goes without saying that its significance is important. If he didn't have a strong heart and courage, how could Mingqing allow such an important place to be garrisoned by someone who was not a member of his Ming family? On the surface, Wei Xianzhang was Tired of the fighting in the court, he was demoted and transferred to the northwest. Since the Central Plains and Dayong Hall were still peaceful and peaceful at that time, and the northwest border was relatively peaceful, the other court officials probably didn't think so far. , not to mention that it was Ming Qing's plan, so Wei Xianzhang was given the opportunity to secretly cultivate the strength of the border army. In the past thirty years, great changes have taken place in the Dayong court. Although Ming Qing was the emperor, However, most of the power has fallen into the hands of the royal party headed by Sikong Cuo. Under this situation, Mingqing was still able to appoint the new lord of Dafeng City, Wei Changxin, as military governor a few years ago, and made an exception to rule with the rank of military attaché. All affairs in the entire northwest. Compared with the princes of the court who can influence the situation of the world, the rank of a second-grade military governor in the northwest is not too eye-catching, but this is just the appearance of the world in peace. , if there is a war with the barbarians in the northwest, the role that Wei Changxin, a second-rank official, can play cannot be measured by his official title. So from this point alone, it is not difficult to see that the man who is regarded by the world If Emperor Qingde, who is a cowardly king, is not foresighted and courageous, how could he be so courageous to make dangerous moves?"
Long Ri Kuangyang's surprised look suddenly became a little deeper.
Chong Yuan paused for a moment, then suddenly asked: "The Wolf Lord has been planning carefully for many years. He must have already understood the strength of Zhenbian Mansion now, right?"
Longri Kuangyang remained calm on the surface and replied calmly: "A mere 60,000 border troops, there's nothing scary about them."
But Chong Yuan shook his head and said: "Does Lord Wolf really think that after 20 or 30 years of secret planning since Wei Xianzhang took over the town, there are only 60,000 border troops?"
Long Ri Kuangyang couldn't help but his expression changed slightly, his heart was shaken, and he frowned and said, "What you mean, do they have something else to hide?"
"If Lord Wolf wants to target the Zhenbian Mansion, any possible accidents must be taken into account, including the additional hidden power of the Zhenbian Mansion. This is especially important." Chong Yuan said sternly: "Wei Xianzhang has been in charge of the northwest for nearly thirty years. If Wei Changxin had not cultivated a group of deeper forces that no one else knew about, how could Wei Changxin have carried out a large-scale reorganization of the entire border army in just a few years since he took over as the city lord? So I will guess that the current strength of Zhenbian Mansion is, The 60,000 border troops are by no means the only ones known to the world. As for why the Zhenbian Mansion deliberately concealed its strength and where those forces were hidden, it must have been to prevent the temple officials far away in the Central Plains from using the issue to arouse suspicion. After all, a If people who are not members of the royal family have too much power, many people in the court will have trouble sleeping. Although Wei Changxin does not have the title of prince, it is undeniable that he has already had the strength to become the overlord of a party. If he If he doesn't know how to hide his edge, even if he is really a chess piece arranged by Emperor Qingde, he will be burned sooner or later. Therefore, Wei Changxin has not only kept a low profile in these years, but he also does not reveal himself easily. He must also have such concerns. "
Long Ri Kuangyang's expression was already extremely heavy, and his eyes were slightly lowered, as if he was thinking. Chongyuan observed the words and sighed softly: "Whether the Wolf Lord has ever thought about this issue or not, it is still a very wise choice not to rush to the Central Plains border in recent years."
Long Ri Kuangyang suddenly raised his head, and his eyes under the helmet shot out a cold light. He said coldly: "Before absolute power, what are those so-called plans and calculations? As long as I gather the power of the entire Northern Wilderness, , no matter how high the walls of Gale City are, they will all become ashes under the hooves of my Feng Yan Iron Horse."
"I firmly believe in this," Chong Yuan said with a smile: "But the prerequisite is that the Wolf Lord must first become the master of the entire Northern Wilderness. And I am also very much looking forward to that day."
Long Ri Kuangyang suddenly smiled meaningfully. He did not accept Chong Yuan's words, but said lightly: "Just now I heard you make such inferential comments about Ming Qing, which makes me find it hard to believe that an emperor who does not hesitate to bear the infamy of a faint king, if He is really as knowledgeable as you said, so what exactly does he want to plan? After all, for now, he still owns the country in the Central Plains, and the world is in his hands, so what else can he ask for? "
"Although he holds the country in his hands, the country is already in turmoil, and the dragon chair is not stable. If he is really an ambitious emperor, then he should have already known what kind of situation he is facing in the world, so he That's why he has such a tolerant plan. If it were me, I wouldn't want the great country to collapse in my hands." Chong Yuan also smiled meaningfully: "So he must be waiting for an opportunity."
"Opportunity?" Long Ri Kuangyang was puzzled and asked with a frown: "What other opportunity does he need?"
"If he is really that kind of person, then the opportunity he is waiting for is the same as the opportunity that the Wolf Lord needs now. A deep light flashed in Chong Yuan's eyes, and he said in a low voice: "You all need an opportunity to prevent the Central Plains from being in chaos. "
Long Ri Kuangyang opened his mouth slightly. Chong Yuan's words made him extremely puzzled and unreasonable. He frowned and said in a deep voice: "Emperors of any dynasty all hope that their empire will be stable for a long time when they are in power. I am afraid that no emperor in the world would want such a thing as chaos. And if there is chaos in the world, What good does Mingqing do to him?"
"What the Wolf Lord said is true, but it is just based on common sense."
Chong Yuan smiled deeply and said slowly: "But according to my speculation, Emperor Qingde is not an emperor who can be judged by common sense, otherwise he would not let a minister with a foreign surname sit at the border. , because this itself is unreasonable. And what good will the chaos in the world do to him..."
He paused slightly, and then slowly continued: "Of course, I hope to find opportunities to change the fate of the Yong Dynasty from the chaos. Because only chaos can lead to great governance."
"How can great chaos be achieved?" Longri Kuangyang asked in shock.
Chongyuan nodded slowly and said: "In today's Dayong Dynasty, the imperial power has declined, officials are corrupt, and people's hearts have changed. This is an internal worry. Outside, the princes are divided, and even barbarians are eyeing them. This is an external worry. Under internal and external difficulties, if we cannot First, we need to completely resolve the internal problems. The world will fall apart sooner or later. But if you want to completely eradicate the internal problems, you cannot do it without great determination and means. And if Mingqing wants to save his Ming family, the only way to do it is through great governance."
A look of ridicule appeared on Long Ri Kuangyang's face, and he said coldly: "But does Ming Qing have that kind of ability to cure diseases?"
"Ability aside," Chong Yuan shook his head and said, "Opportunity is the most important. If you know the disease but don't have the courage and opportunity to take action, then no matter how superb your medical skills are, it will be meaningless."
The corner of Long Ri Kuangyang's mouth twitched slightly, and he said coldly: "Even if there is that opportunity, he may not be able to seize it. As you just said, whether it is the five vassal kings or the powerful officials in the court, they can all If you are not a vegetarian, will they let a faint king who has done nothing for many years take action?"
"The Wolf Lord thinks that a person who is willing to bear the infamy and endure it for decades, if he has a plan, wouldn't he have no preparation and foreshadowing?" Chong Yuan smiled and shook his head again, and said in a solemn tone: "As for his ability, he Having such a plan is enough to show that he is not without ability, but that he deliberately makes everyone in the world think that he is incapable, and this in itself is an ability that others do not have."
"Does this kind of cowardice also belong to the so-called imperial power?" Long Ri Kuangyang showed a look of disdain and snorted heavily in his nostrils.
Chong Yuan said calmly: "To achieve the goal, no matter the means, it is also a talent."
The corner of Long Ri Kuangyang's mouth twitched fiercely, and he sneered: "If his foreshadowing is in the northwest, he would be looking down on me, Northern Wilderness."
"There are clouds in the art of war, and the army is dangerous..." Chong Yuan smiled meaningfully: "What if his opportunity is also in the Northern Wilderness where the Wolf Lord is?"
Hearing this, Long Ri Kuangyang's body trembled slightly, and he couldn't help but stare at the man in front of him with wide eyes.
"You mean, he is also waiting for me in the Northern Wilderness to attack the border of the Central Plains?" Long Ri Kuangyang blurted out in disbelief.
Chong Yuan showed a faint smile, nodded slightly and said: "Today's Dayong situation is complicated. Under internal and external difficulties, any mishandling of changes will put the Ming family in a state of eternal destruction. Therefore, ordinary methods can no longer save the court. , he needs to find another way, or even do the opposite."
"Is this the so-called trick?" A sneer appeared on Long Ri Kuangyang's lips, "I would like to know what method he can find to save his world from this opportunity."
Chongyuan pondered: "In the current court, whether it is the faction of powerful ministers headed by Sikong Cuo or the five vassal kings, Mingqing cannot and does not have the strength to attack them easily. The checks and balances between them are what Mingqing is happy to see. , he needs those people to maintain the stability of the court for him. The reason why he cannot touch them casually is because whether it is cutting off vassals or clearing the emperor, it will be a major event that will shake the foundation of the dynasty. Today's Dayong cannot afford this kind of There was turmoil, so he waited for the chaos at the border. Only the chaos at the border would not affect the self-interests of powerful ministers and vassal kings. However, although they were in charge of their own affairs, they still belonged to the power of the court after all. In front of the people of the world, they could not communicate with the outside world. Turning a blind eye to the enemy's invasion of the country would be an unjust act otherwise. But they will take into account their own interests. After all, no one wants to be the one who takes the lead in the chaos in the northwest. Then they will look for a bright side. The backbone of the emperor, and there is no one else but the emperor."
Although Longri Kuangyang was not good at that kind of strategy and calculation, he was not a mindless martial artist. When he heard this, he was surprised and seemed to have guessed something, so his expression was uncertain for a moment.
Chongyuan sighed lightly and continued: "In this way, Mingqing can take this opportunity to coordinate the layout, unite some people in the court who are still concerned about the court and his secret chess, and use the conflicts between the powerful ministers and the vassal kings. The relationship of interests made them worry about each other and consume each other, and then they took the opportunity to defeat each other, and finally scraped away the poison in one fell swoop and regained control of the imperial power. First, secure the internal affairs, and then fight against the external affairs, killing two birds with one stone."
"It's easy to say," Long Ri Kuangyang sneered: "An emperor who has been weak for many years and is only in name only, what confidence does he have to make those powerful officials of the vassal king willing to be at his mercy?"
"His confidence is naturally the Northwest Town Bianfu and Wei Changxin." Chongyuan chuckled and said: "When the situation really comes to that point, the vassal kings who each have military power must guard against others taking the opportunity to attack, and they must not If we don’t send troops to assist the northwest, our strength will be greatly affected, and we will have no choice but to protect ourselves. By then, among the many forces, who dares to say that they alone can compete with the border town of Northwest, which has been building troops for decades?"
Although Long Ri Kuangyang had vaguely guessed this outcome, he still couldn't help but feel his heart beating wildly when he heard Chong Yuan say it casually. If this situation becomes true, it will not be good for Beihuang.
"People from the Central Plains are indeed the best at those conspiracies," Longri Kuangyang secretly gritted his teeth and said coldly: "If I step into the Central Plains, I will first kill all those who only play tricks!"
Chong Yuan frowned secretly and was about to speak, but he hesitated.
Long Ri Kuangyang took a deep breath and suddenly said: "Although I don't object to your inference, this is just talk on paper after all. No one dares to say whether Ming Qing is the kind of person you said."
"Yes, this is indeed just my guess," Chong Yuan nodded: "And this kind of guess, especially for the Wolf Lord, tends to be the worst kind. Because the more true the guess, the more serious it will be for Beihuang and the Wolf Lord. As far as the cause is concerned, it is even more unfavorable.”
Long Ri Kuangyang pondered, and after a while he asked seriously: "In your opinion, what are the chances of Ming Qing's success?"
Chong Yuan also fell into deep thought. After a long time, he shook his head and said: "Without the accuracy of calculation, I cannot draw a definite conclusion on this kind of thing, because there are too many hidden changes. For Ming Qing, Treating a huge chaos is like scraping bones to cure poison. It is far from being comparable to the pain on the skin. Whether he has the consciousness to endure such severe pain is the key to his success. And he is just betting again. If he wins the bet, he is A saintly monarch who can surpass the ancestors of the Ming clan. If he loses and Dayong dies, he will only be a generation of faint kings and become the eternal sinner of his Ming clan."
"So, isn't he the biggest gambler in the world?"
"He is indeed the world's biggest gambler who bets his country." Chong Yuan sighed: "He is also the world's most daring gambler."
Long Ri Kuangyang didn't speak, his eyes were lowered, as if he was deep in thought. Seeing this, Chong Yuan smiled and said nothing, and the two fell into a brief silence.
After a while, Long Ri Kuangyang raised his head and exhaled, and suddenly asked: "Just now you said that I also need the opportunity of the chaos in the Central Plains. How is this opportunity different from the opportunity that Mingqing needs?"
"The chaos Mingqing needs is limited to the temple and cannot spread to the world. The chaos the Wolf Lord needs is in the Jianghu." Chongyuan smiled deeply and spoke lightly.
"Jianghu?" Long Ri Kuangyang frowned.
"Yes, it's the Jianghu." Chongyuan smiled and said: "In the Central Plains, although the temples and the Jianghu are two different classes, they are also inseparable. Throughout the ages, the establishment of many dynasties in the Central Plains has a great relationship with the Jianghu. Because the Jianghu includes It represents the lowest level of a dynasty and is also a force that cannot be ignored."
"Can I understand that Jianghu is the people of the Central Plains?" Long Ri Kuangyang asked with a frown.
Chong Yuan pondered for a moment, then nodded and said: "The Wolf Lord can also understand it this way, but it cannot be generalized."
Long Ri Kuangyang frowned again and asked: "Then how can we make their world chaotic?"
"Their world is already in chaos, but someone still needs to add fuel to the fire." Chong Yuan smiled slyly: "This fire must be strong enough to shake the foundation of the Central Plains world and allow people above the temple to share Only when the spirit is restless can it be considered a truly troubled world."
Long Ri Kuangyang's eyes darkened and he asked: "Then who is going to add fuel to the fire?"
Chong Yuan couldn't help but straighten his back, his eyes flashed, and he said slowly: "Of course it's me."
He did not answer "the Tradition," but himself.
Longri Kuangyang was stunned for a moment, then raised his eyebrows and asked, "Do you have that kind of power?"
Chong Yuan did not directly answer yes or no, and he did not need to express enough certainty to the other party, because Longri Kuangyang did not understand the Central Plains world. He smiled lightly and said: "If I were not sure, I would not propose an alliance."
Long Ri Kuangyang showed a half-smiling expression and said lightly: "Do you know what I think about the meaning of alliance?"
Chong Yuan was thoughtful and said casually: "Lord Wolf, please speak."
Long Ri Kuangyang's eyes were flickering, and he looked at Chong Yuan and said: "From my understanding, only the party that is not confident enough in its own strength will look for an alliance partner."
Chong Yuan chuckled: "There is no problem with Lord Wolf's understanding. But from my point of view, the meaning of alliance is to share. Whether it is benefits or opportunities, it is always more beneficial than working alone."
Long Ri Kuang Yang said nothing more, he just smiled.
"So I and the forces behind me are the choices that can best create benefits for the Wolf Lord now."
Longri Kuangyang was silent for a moment, and then said: "I understand, the advantage you can bring by forming an alliance with me is to create an opportunity for me to make the Central Plains more chaotic, and then cooperate internally and externally to completely disrupt their layout. This is The opportunities you can create.”
Chong Yuan nodded and said: "As I said, it would be very difficult for the Wolf Lord to destroy the Great Yong Court without the help from within the Central Plains."
"It must not be easy for you to gain a foothold in the Central Plains, right?" Long Ri Kuangyang asked: "How confident are you in dealing with the Central Plains martial arts?"
Chong Yuan answered the question and said: "Lord Wolf must have learned a little bit about the past of this sect from the old Wolf Lord, right?"
"I have heard a little about it," Long Ri Kuangyang nodded and said, "I also know a little bit about the grudges between you and the Central Plains Wulin."
Chong Yuan suddenly looked like lightning and said in a deep voice: "Twenty years ago, during a battle between our sect and the Zhongyuan martial arts, the former sect leader was killed in a foreign country and almost the entire army was wiped out. Therefore, Zhongyuan is the feuding enemy of our sect. Now the current leader and the Thanks to my painstaking efforts, this sect has recovered its strength and has been planning for many years, just to wipe out the martial arts in the Central Plains in one fell swoop and avenge the blood revenge of the past."
Longri Kuangyang's expression changed slightly and he said: "Although I have heard of the Central Plains Martial Arts, I don't know much about their situation. However, since they can cause your Holy Tradition to suffer such a disaster, they must be very difficult and cannot be ignored. exist."
"Although our sect was almost wiped out in the battle that year, they also suffered heavy losses," Chong Yuan twitched the corner of his mouth and said in a cold tone: "Today's Central Plains martial arts world is just like their court. Although it seems peaceful on the surface, , in fact, it has been riddled with holes for a long time. Although there are those who are still alive to support them, as long as this sect attacks with all its strength, it is only a matter of time before they are destroyed."
Long Ri Kuangyang stretched his eyebrows and said with a faint smile: "According to your words, you seem to be quite confident."
Chong Yuan still shook his head and said calmly: "Everything is subject to unpredictable changes. Although this sect is well aware of the situation in the Central Plains martial arts world, I will never make a hasty conclusion before the result is determined. Because I have always been accustomed to considering the worst side of something."
"Oh?" Long Ri Kuangyang frowned and said, "Are you gambling just like Ming Qing?"
"Isn't the Wolf Lord also gambling?" Chong Yuan said: "Before profit, who in the world is not a gambler?"
"What a bet." Long Ri Kuangyang suddenly sneered, "Is this the value of your cooperation for me?"
Chong Yuan still smiled and replied: "I am confident that I have such value."
Long Ri Kuangyang smiled deeply and changed the topic:
"I would like to know, if your conclusion comes true, then when is the best time for me to take action against the Central Plains?"
Long Ri Kuang Yang returned to the topic.
Chong Yuan smiled and said: "Both the Wolf Lord and Ming Qing are waiting for the same opportunity, so the Wolf Lord's timing to take action will naturally be the same as him."
"Really?" Long Ri Kuangyang blinked and said, "I would like to hear the details."
Chongyuan stretched his muscles and said calmly: "No matter how clever Mingqing's methods are, using chaos to control chaos will eventually cause more damage to the already unlucky dynasty. At that time, the court was in turmoil, and the powerful ministers and feudal lords The kings are scheming, and when they have no time to take care of themselves and have not yet established a stable foothold, it is the perfect opportunity for the Wolf Lord to attack the Central Plains in one fell swoop, because then, the Wolf Lord only needs to face one enemy in Zhenbianfu..."
"However," Chong Yuan paused deliberately and continued: "I have already said that this requires the wolf master to use the entire Northern Wilderness to carry out this task."
"And cooperation also requires mutual positions as the foundation." Chongyuan said with a smile: "It will take time for our religion to eliminate the martial arts in the Central Plains, and it will take even more time for the Wolf Lord to unify the Northern Wilderness. Therefore, our alliance must complete the premise of unification. It can take one step closer to the ultimate goal.”
"You seem to have doubts about my Feng Yan's strength." Long Ri Kuangyang showed a slight displeasure. He glanced coldly at Chi Yan in the distance behind Chong Yuan, then cast his gaze on Chong Yuan's face and sneered. : "If you think that now that I have not been able to unify the Northern Wasteland, you think that my Fengyan Department is not strong enough, then you are totally wrong."
"Lord Wolf has misunderstood. I have never doubted the strength of the Feng Yan Tribe." Chong Yuan said in a calm tone: "Except for the five tribes of the Northern Wilderness barbarians, there are no less than dozens of other large and small tribes, each with different powers. The situation is far more complicated than that. The Central Plains is more complicated. However, since the Wolf Lord came to power, the Fengyan tribe has conquered half of the Northern Wilderness forces in just a few years. Now it not only has 50,000 Fengyan iron cavalry, but also accounts for five of the fifteen barbarian cities. It can be said that its reputation is legitimate. The sun is at its peak. How can I have the slightest doubt about the Feng Yan Department that has such huge strength?"
Long Ri Kuangyang's eyes turned cold, and he suddenly cast a cold look at Chi Yan. Then he looked back at Chong Yuan and frowned slightly: "It seems that you are quite familiar with my situation, Feng Yan."
Chong Yuan smiled indifferently, his expression full of confidence, and said with a smile: "I never do anything that I am not sure of, so I have always been accustomed to knowing myself and the enemy. Because no matter what, intelligence is the most important key. So my understanding of Beihuang, I have already said that I know no less than the Wolf Lord, and even more."
Long Ri Kuangyang's expression was gloomy. He did not refute, and seemed to have recognized that the other party had that ability.
"It seems like there must have been a lot of Saint Legend's eyes and ears in the Northern Wilderness now, right?" Long Ri Kuangyang said in a heavy tone, "I'm curious, it seems that no one from the Western Region has ever appeared in the Northern Wilderness. How about you?" How is it done?”
Chong Yuan was noncommittal and said calmly: "To collect intelligence, sometimes you don't necessarily need a fixed person."
Long Ri Kuangyang suddenly understood, and glanced at Chi Yan coldly again, and then sneered: "I understand, it turns out that there are many people who are the same as someone in the Northern Wilderness."
He said it very straightforwardly. Now among the barbarians, there are indeed spies planted by the Holy Tradition, and those spies are not from the Western Region, but from the barbarians. Although his appearance has not changed much, he has long been wary in his heart. No matter whether the informant among the barbarians is a Westerner or a barbarian, it is definitely not a good thing.
How could Chong Yuan not know the sarcasm in the other person's words, but he didn't care, and still smiled and said: "As long as the goal can be achieved, methods and means are important, but sometimes they are not important."
"It makes sense." Long Ri Kuangyang raised his eyebrows and said, "So I would like to know what your opinion is on the current situation in the Northern Wilderness?"
"I can't speak of high opinions," Chong Yuan shook his head gently: "But I do have some opinions."
Long Ri Kuangyang raised his hand slightly, with a bit of expectation in his eyes, and said, "Please tell me."
Chong Yuan's expression remained calm, and he said casually in an analytical tone: "Although there are many tribes in the Northern Wilderness, except for the five tribes headed by Feng Yan, the rest can be regarded as a rabble. The Wolf Lord only needs to conquer the rest. Four tribes can basically complete the hegemony of unifying the barbarians in the Northern Wilderness. Among the four tribes of Zhenyan, Lanta, Baiyue and Ye tribe, the Zhenyan tribe is the strongest and is also the biggest opponent of the Fengyan tribe where the Wolf Lord belongs. The remaining three Although the Lanta tribe, a large tribe, is not good at force, they occupy the Lanta Mountains, which is the richest ore in the entire Northern Wilderness. For thousands of years, the Lanta tribe has relied on mining ores and forging iron tools to survive to this day. Their forging skills Although it is not as good as the Central Plains, it is also an indispensable iron supplier for various tribes in the Northern Wilderness. Most of the armors and weapons needed by the Fengyan tribe's cavalry must have come from the Lanta tribe."
When Chong Yuan said this, he glanced at the black iron armor on Longri Kuangyang's body, and said casually: "But the talisman armor on the Wolf Lord must not have come from Lantar. Regardless of whether this armor The fine quality of the iron and the secret technique of the seals carved on it can be regarded as the best in the world. With such exquisite forging skills, even the famous blacksmiths in the Central Plains, few people have the ability to forge such rare treasure armor. Not to mention Lanta."
"The Lantar Division does have the unique survival value of the Northern Wilderness. You are also right. Most of the weapons and armor of our Fengyan Department come from them. In order to exchange for those equipment over the years, our Fengyan Department has paid tens of thousands. The price of a good horse." Although Long Ri Kuangyang's tone was calm, there was inevitably a hint of heartache in his words.
The Northern Wilderness barbarians have a naturally brave bloodline, worship martial arts and are aggressive, and are regarded by the people of the Central Plains as the most ferocious ethnic group in the world. But the grasslands of the Northern Wilderness can produce the best horses in the world, but the barbarians cannot forge sophisticated weapons and armor. The Northern Wasteland has never lacked resources such as iron ore, but what they lack is the skills of smelting and forging. The smelting and blacksmithing techniques are already very advanced in the Central Plains and can be said to be the best in the world. The reason why the Dayong Dynasty was able to guard the northwest border for hundreds of years was largely because they had the most sophisticated weapons and equipment in the world. Smelting and forging, two skills that are crucial to any dynasty, have always been extremely strictly controlled. Although there have been trade exchanges between the barbarians and the Central Plains on the border in recent years, it is limited to the circulation of ordinary items. Controlled products such as ironware, which are strictly prohibited by the imperial court, are extremely difficult for the barbarians to obtain from the Central Plains, so they can only rely on themselves.
The barbarians in the Northern Wilderness have been scattered for a long time and have not formed a unity. Apart from gold and silver, they do not have unified circulation coins. Gold and silver were equally valuable to the barbarians and difficult to obtain, so their usual transactions used cattle, sheep, and horses as bargaining chips. The Fengyan tribe, which was famous for its cavalry in the Northern Wasteland, had always attached great importance to horses, so when Longri Kuangyang said that he had sacrificed tens of thousands of good horses in exchange for weapons and armor, he felt so heartbroken.
"As for the armor I wear, it is indeed the unparalleled talisman armor in the world. And you can see how precious this armor is, which shows that you have extraordinary knowledge. But the origin of this armor is my privacy, and I don't know. I plan to let others know." Longri Kuangyang said it bluntly, without any euphemism, "Besides, this has nothing to do with what you and I are planning."
Chong Yuan smiled slightly and said calmly: "The armor of the talisman was forged with secret techniques in ancient legends. It can indeed be called a rare treasure. The person who can forge this armor must be by no means an ordinary person. Wolf Lord is like this I attach great importance to it, and I can naturally understand it." Although he said this, he already had an idea in his heart. The armor of talismans is so rare that it cannot be forged by ordinary people, nor can it be worn by ordinary people. Therefore, he used this intention to check , I believe that with the eyes and ears of the Holy Tradition now spread all over the world, some clues will be found in the future.
"If a worker wants to do his job well, he must first sharpen his tools." Chong Yuan changed his subject and returned to the topic just now, "The Lanta tribe has iron mines and forging skills, so they have extremely important influence on Feng Yan. Utilization value is also the primary goal that the Wolf Lord must capture and conquer."
Longri Kuangyang nodded slightly, but said nothing.
Chongyuan continued: "Besides Lanta, there are the two tribes, the Yue Clan and the Night Clan, who live on the Sunken Sea. These two tribes are based on the Sunken Sea, with the vast and far-reaching black mist forest in front and the Sunken Sea in the back. Naturally dangerous, compared to the Northern Wilderness, the terrain of these two divisions is particularly special. Because once the Wolf Lord decides to go to war with the Central Plains, the Sunken Sea must be controlled by the Fengyan Division, otherwise the Central Plains Ninghai navy will cross the sea and fight with the gale. If the city echoes each other from afar, Beihuang will be like an enemy attacked from both sides."
Long Ri Kuangyang's eyebrows sank, and a solemn look appeared on his face.
Chong Yuan continued slowly: "Although the Moon Worshiping Tribe is of the same lineage as the barbarians, they advocate freedom and have historically had little contact with other tribes in the Northern Wilderness. Although the Moon Worshiping Tribe does not have a strong military force and a small population, they are good at bows. The shooting skills are particularly superior to the Fengyan Iron Cavalry, and the Yangxing City where they are located is built on a solitary peak by the Sunken Sea. It is the easiest to defend and difficult to attack among the fifteen barbarian cities. If the Fengyan tribe cannot conquer The natural dangers of Yangxing City make it quite difficult to conquer the Moon Worshipers."
Long Ri Kuangyang's heart was filled with fear: Chong Yuan had never set foot in the Northern Wilderness, but he knew the situation of various tribes in the Northern Wilderness very well. It seemed that the intelligence power of the Holy Legend should not be ignored!
Long Ri Kuangyang secretly thought in his heart, but said calmly: "I have to say that your intelligence collection is indeed unique. Although the Moon Worship Department has natural barriers, it is indeed easy to defend but difficult to attack. But if you want to conquer They don't just have to attack by force, I only need to send troops to surround them on all sides and cut off their food and grass. Within three months, they will be in chaos and then go down the mountain to beg for surrender."
Chong Yuan smiled and nodded: "Without other support, siege is indeed the best way to deal with them."
Longri Kuangyang suddenly sneered: "The Moon Worshiping Tribe has always had a high self-esteem and always felt that they were nobler than other tribes in the Northern Wilderness, so they have not bothered to interact with other forces for hundreds of years, so once they are surrounded, No one else will support you easily."
"Next to the worshiping moon is the Night Clan." Chong Yuan nodded again and continued: "The Night Clan lives in the black forest beside the Sunken Sea all year round. The black forest is not only full of swamps and miasma, but also has not seen the light of day for many years. The scattered black mist shrouded the environment in the black forest, so the environment in the black forest was extremely harsh and complex. Even during the day, it was the same as at night. The people living there thought that they were abandoned people hated by the creation god of the Guwu tribe, so they called themselves The Night Clan, the name of the Night Clan comes from this..."
"The Night people have lived in the Black Forest for thousands of years. After a long period of time and the influence of special environments, their people's physiques have undergone tremendous transformation. They are not affected by ordinary poisons and darkness, and can live freely in the Black Forest. And after Specially trained Night Clan people can take advantage of being accustomed to darkness and become terrifying beings for tracking and assassination. As far as I know, someone from the Night Clan has used this special factor to create two unique skills, namely the Wind and Thunder Seal that can control the power of wind and thunder. , as well as the invisible Nightmare Shadow. The Night tribesmen who are proficient in these two abilities can be called the most powerful murderers. If they can be conquered, they will be the best force to spy on intelligence and scouts."
Long Ri Kuangyang frowned slightly and suddenly said: "The Night Clan is the most special group among the entire barbarian tribe. All tribes in the Northern Wilderness regard them as aliens. Very few people take the initiative to interact with them. In addition, the complex and dangerous nature of the Black Forest is Geographically, not many people have been able to safely pass through the Black Forest and reach Shadow City, their residence, for hundreds of years. So their situation is also the vaguest, so how can you get their information?"
Chong Yuan pondered for a moment, and then said calmly: "To be honest, there are people in our sect who are from the Night Clan, and they are among the four heavenly kings like Chi Yan."
"So that's it," Long Ri Kuangyang said in a deep voice, "It seems that your Holy Missionary Religion is really pervasive."
Chong Yuan smiled and said: "If you want to plan something big, you must first make a plan. And collecting intelligence is the most critical part of the plan."
Longri Kuangyang pondered for a moment and said, "In your opinion, which method is most useful to conquer the Night Clan?"
"To deal with the Night Clan, attacking with force is the best strategy." Chong Yuan said calmly: "The Night Clan has the thick fog, swamp and miasma in the black forest as cover. The cavalry cannot easily break through. A strong attack will only kill a thousand enemies and cause self-inflicted damage." Eight hundred, even if the attack is successful, the benefits that can be gained from the Night Clan are not worth the huge consumption, and the gain outweighs the loss."
Long Ri Kuangyang narrowed his eyes and said coldly: "Yes, the parasites that have lived in the dark mud for many years do not have much value to be consumed."
"But they do have some value that can be exploited, and if used properly, they can play a role that cannot be ignored."
"So...," Chong Yuan continued: "To deal with them, you need to lure them with benefits. The Wolf Lord only needs to promise benefits that are enough to impress them, lead their main force out of the black forest, and then surrender in one fell swoop, the Night Clan can't help but... The attack will defeat itself."
Long Ri Kuangyang frowned slightly.
Chongyuan observed the words and said: "But as far as I know, the current leader of the Ye clan, Master Yinlong, is very thoughtful and has a somewhat all-round approach to things. He himself is very powerful. If there is no absolute benefit, he wants to I’m afraid it’s quite difficult to impress him.”
Long Ri Kuangyang pondered for a moment, then suddenly sneered: "That old fox is indeed a bit difficult to deal with. But it is said that he has appeared in the Northern Wilderness several times in order to improve the relationship between the Ye Clan and other tribes in recent years. I guess he also has something. As long as I can figure out what he needs, I can seize his weaknesses. Even if it comes to personal strength, I haven't taken him seriously yet. So if luring him with benefits doesn't work, the worst is to find an opportunity first. Just get rid of him."
Chong Yuan groaned, suddenly moved his heart slightly, and said with a low tone: "Suddenly think of something, want to ask the wolf master."
"Oh?" Longri frowned slightly, and said casually: "Listen."
Chongyuan's wording for a while, and then slowly said: "As far as I know, the night clan was very prosperous a century ago, because a world -seeking person appeared in them, named Luo Han Tuile. The shocking force was regarded by the Northern Wilderness as the difference between the night clan, but the Night tribe regarded him as the Holy King. According to the legend, during the period of the night king of the night clan, the night power of the Nights once swept half of the northern wasteland. , When the barbarians talk about this person's boldness. However, when he was almost about to become the Lord of the Northern Wilderness, he suddenly disappeared inexplicably. From then on, there was no news that life and death were unknown. For this reason, he was severely lost and forced to withdraw the Black Forest. It has not been able to recover his vitality until now ... "Chong Yuan's tone, instead looking at the opposite Dragon Riyang, asked:" Presumably, do you know this matter? "
Longri Yiyang heard the words, and the face after the bonfire could not help but change.
