Realm of Power

Luyang, Jinchaobai River, the fierce fighting has lasted for three hours. The tents belonging to the Fengtai tribe were burning in the fire. Black smoke rolled up like several huge rolling dragons. Countless canines were fighting on both sides of the Chaobai River. . ??The burning tent roared in the wind, and where the flames spread, human blood also spread.

A Fengtai tribe soldier holding a sword stood up staggeringly from a pool of blood. He looked at the tribal camp with corpses strewn in the field with a complex expression. As the main camp of the Fengtai tribe in Luyang, the water flow of the Jinchaobai River It has been dyed crimson red, and there are still flaming arrows streaking across the sky. The light and darkness on both sides of the river bank are dimming, and the corpses of countless Fengtai tribesmen stretch out.

"Kill, leave no one behind"

Just ** meters away, the prairie cavalry wearing various armors roared past like another torrent parallel to the Chaojin White River. There was solidified human blood under the horses' hooves. A sharp cold light flashed, and this shaken man The body of a Fengtai tribe warrior With a shock, the arrowhead came out of his chest with blood. Until he fell, the Fengtai soldier's eyes were full of confusion, and his blood-stained mouth was still squirming "Why...why?" To do this, aren’t we an alliance?”

"Chief Feitai, isn't it a pity to kill all the 200,000 Fengtai tribe members like this?" "For a large tribe of 200,000 people, even if all the men as tall as a wheel are killed, the remaining women and children should be There are more than 100,000, which can just fill the vacancy of the slaves lost in Daizhou. After all, we and the Fengtai tribe were once in an alliance, weren't we? "A thin grassland chief, wearing a gray cloak, riding on a war horse, scanning the entire camp with complicated eyes. He is the chief of the Lugul tribe, and he is also the one who attacked the Fengtai tribe this time. One of the clan leaders of Baihe's main camp. Just three days ago, he was one of the clan leaders who encouraged the Fengtai tribe to march south to the Imperial Capital. In just three days, everything has changed.

In the Battle of Hanshui, all the tribes were so disheartened that they had been killed. If the battle was completely against the Yelu family, it would be a failure if it failed, because everyone knew that the strength of the Yelu family was no longer what it used to be. Even the Hanshui River was so related to the Yelu family. In a life-and-death battle, they only mobilized 30,000 Baihe troops to participate in the battle. Even if they defeated Hanshui, they would only maintain a defensive position at most.

But it was the Empire that took action on the Han River, which is another story. The Empire did not invest much troops in the Han River, but the Empire still had a strong cavalry force of 70,000 to 80,000 people on the Daizhou front line. Dijing West Road On the front line, there are still 100,000 troops who may march north at any time, plus more than 20,000 imperial troops in the Battle of Han River,

The situation has become that the total number adds up to 200,000 imperial troops, which is like an iron barrel sandwiching the area north of the imperial capital and south of Daizhou.

When they thought that they were under the attack of 200,000 imperial troops, the hearts of the tribal chiefs went cold. Although the remaining troops of each tribe totaled more than 100,000, it seemed that they could still fight, but in fact, each tribe was very weak. You know, this is just a plate for you. Sansha is a complete mess when it comes to commanding. Each ministry has to consider its own interests. If Mongolia from the Fengtai tribe is still there, each ministry still thinks it is possible to fight against the empire. But now, Mongolia has been killed by the empire in the first battle. Head, the empire once again proved Knowing the capabilities of their own prairie nemesis, who would dare to stand on the anti-imperial front? All ministries immediately severed ties with the Fengtai Department, withdrew personnel and materials to support the Fengtai Department, and even began to drive away personnel sent by the Fengtai Department. , it was only a small scale at the beginning However, with the conditions of non-punishment issued by the empire, the ministries could no longer hold back. The empire's condition was to require the ministries to kill the entire Fengtai tribe, and then based on the performance of each ministry in this battle, Decide on the final list of punishments,

This is tantamount to hanging a beheading knife over the heads of each ministry. What does it mean to rely on the combat performance of each ministry? Doesn't it mean that whoever kills the Fengtai tribe the most is the least likely to be punished by the empire? As the conditions were released, more than twenty people were sandwiched between Daizhou and Imperial Capital almost without any orders from the empire. The tribe that originally stood in the camp of Fengtai tribe immediately turned their backs and began to attack Fengtai tribe without any courtesy. Massacres and purges began. In just three days, Luyang, where the Fengtai tribe was located, was already in flames of war. The Fengtai tribe, which had lost most of its troops in the Han River, could only gather more than 10,000 troops at this time. Facing ten Tens of thousands of murderous coalition forces fought tooth and nail, but they were still unable to reverse the situation.

"It's just because we were an alliance, that's why we do this!"

Next to him, another tall tribe leader took a deep breath, with even more helplessness in his sinister eyes, and murmured in a low voice, "It's no one's fault. Who is called Mongolian Luo Zhi, a talented man? What kind of golden family?" We blindly supported him and even gave him the command of an army of 100,000 people. However, the result was that he was so vulnerable that he was defeated miserably in the Han River. People from all ministries were killed. Even Mongolia himself was beheaded by the empire and sent to the imperial capital of the Yelu family. At this moment, who dares to stand with the Fengtai tribe? Since the empire has released conditions for mercy, it is to kill all Fengtai. "Although it is unreasonable to attack the Fengtai Department, it is better than being attacked from the north and south by the imperial army and eventually being strangled to death like the Fengtai Department."

This middle-aged man, known as the leader of the Feitai clan, wore a cyan armor, a round helmet, and a red fox tail wrapped around his neck. His eyes flickered, his voice paused, and he raised the riding whip in his hand. Pointing to the river bank covered with corpses, he said in a cold voice, "This time, our six coalition forces launched a surprise attack on the main camp of Jinchao Baihe, with a total strength of 30,000 cavalry. , it took more than three hours of fighting to extend the battle line to the bank of the Jinchao White River. Along the way, the Fengtai tribe probably lost 70,000 to 80,000 people, and there should be only a few young men left in the tribe. , the rest are just some women and children. Have you ever seen a person from the Fengtai tribe asking for surrender? Even if the Fengtai tribe really surrenders, who among you and me would dare to accept it?

"The Fengtai Department should also know the emperor's order and know that surrender is useless."

"Yes, even the Fengtai tribe has given up, right? By resisting until death, I haven't lost the integrity of a prairie man."

The Feitai clan leader glanced around, and then whispered to the pity clan leader, "The empire's request leaves no stone unturned. This time, it's not you and me who are taking action, but six tribes, all of whom are eyewitnesses." Staring, if one of you or I dares to harbor a person from Fengtai tribe, I am afraid that tomorrow someone from other tribes will report to the empire. At this time, who The sooner you climb onto the empire's lap, the sooner you will be safe. At least you don't need to consider the consequences of revenge from the empire and the Yelu family. Everyone is holding back their breath, fearing that not enough Fengtai tribe members will be killed. Falling behind other ministries gives the empire and Yelu an excuse for punishment. Whoever thinks about catching slaves is asking for death! "

"The Fengtai tribe is finished, the prairie people are finished!"

The patriarch looked at the blazing fire in the distance, his body trembling slightly, and his eyes were complex but also a little depressed. Although it was common practice on the grassland to prey on the weak and the strong, it was understandable that each tribe would bloodbath the Fengtai tribe for their own sake, but when he thought about this After that, the entire grassland tribe probably had no choice but to be obedient to the empire, and no one dared to raise their proud head. The patriarch felt hurt from his heart.

If the Empire broke the backbone of the grassland people in the Battle of Onnacuo two years ago, then this time the ministries strangled the Fengtai tribe, it was under the sword of the Empire that the eagle soaring on the prairie had its wings broken. The horse that gallops thousands of miles has put a mulberry head on itself!

The rain was like thunderclaps like broken beads, hitting the main hall pavilion used by Yelu family for the founding ceremony of the country. The white lines formed by the convergence of water flow fell from the low-lying position of the eaves, like a huge white rain curtain, turning the whole world into a The world turned white. The internal meeting of the Yelu family had lasted for three hours.

At the meeting, Yelu Hongtai said that after the Yelu family established the Royal Court, they would withdraw from the position of the leader of the Yelu clan, and Yelu Qiyeguang would serve as the new generation of the Royal Court.

"How can this be possible? How can we just pass the throne to His Highness Qi Yeguang when the head of the family is still here!"

"His Highness Qi Yeguang is relatively young. Something went wrong in the battle of Yanzhou, otherwise Young Master Yelu Guda would not have died. But now, although in this battle of Han River, His Highness Qi Yeguang has shown extraordinary ability, But it’s just a coincidence. The Yelu family is about to recover, so how can they change the owner temporarily? "

"Please think again, head of the family. Although the Yelu family seems to be in decline in front of them, didn't they win the battle of Han River?"

"The number one enemy, the Fengtai tribe, has been defeated. The other tribes are in panic. Especially this time, the clan leaders of more than a dozen tribes have been captured. They all expressed their willingness to support the Yelu family again. This means that the strength of the Yelu family can at least be restored to half of the time There are more. Although it is not as high as it was at the beginning, it has at least climbed back to a strong position. Given time, it may not be able to return to its heyday. At this time, how can the head of the family choose to give up his position!

In the main hall, the generals of the Yelu family were in an uproar, and some even cried bitterly. They fought bloody battles through life and death. In just two years, they drove 300,000 tribesmen to occupy Central Asia, and then from the north. The grassland attracted more than two million grassland tribes. It experienced ups and downs several times. At its strongest, it controlled the area for thousands of miles, and its troops reached all the way to the mainland. South of the river, the last vestige of the Zhongbia Empire almost collapsed. If it had not been for the rise of the Long family and the killing of Yelu Guda, the young leader of the Yelu family, in the Battle of Yanzhou, the Yelu family was divided and their strength was greatly reduced. The founding of the Yelu family would not have been delayed until such a moment. Now that we have finally overcome the difficulties, we are about to soar into the sky. How can we change the head of the family! "

Yelu Hongtai sat on the main seat, his eyes scanning the chaotic situation below, and he rubbed his temples painfully with his fingers.

Yelu Qiyeguang's 30,000 Baihe troops did not return to the Imperial Capital immediately after their victory. Instead, they stayed at the Han River for three full days. In addition to the army's stay, they only sent a dozen captured tribal chiefs back to the Imperial Capital. This is a naked expression of his intention to suppress Di Jing. This daughter of his is forcing him to announce the news of giving in to the head of the family. Yelu Hongtai could only smile bitterly now. Although he had repeatedly stated that he would not control the power of the Yelu family, the battle of Hanshui River was like a big counterattack by the Yelu family. It is no wonder that Yelu Qiyeguang was so worried about his father. It would be a lie to say that I am not moved at all, but under the force of the empire, what else can I do!

What an outgoing girl! I haven't even finished this yet, but I'm already thinking about my dowry.

Regarding his daughter, Yelu Hongtai knew very well that he might not be able to kill his father, but he could definitely do it by imprisoning himself.

The ruthlessness and decisiveness of prairie women are fully reflected in her.

During the big avalanche that year, when he dug out a cave that had been covered by heavy snow for several days, he saw Yelu Qiyeguang, who was pale and still had human blood in his teeth. Yelu Hongtai already knew how good this daughter was at taking advantage of opportunities, deliberately Leading the woman into the cave alone, then pulling the cover that had been installed a few days ago to knock down the snow above, causing an avalanche. How could such a small trick hide the eyes of a skilled prairie hunter? But Yelu Qiyeguang didn't know that the hunter who saw this was sent to hunt a winter bear the next day, and no one saw him again after that.

Do you really think you can't see the difference between a wound opened after death and a wound pierced into the body while alive?

In order to conceal the fact that the dagger incision was made while alive, Yelu Qiyeguang smashed all the incisions and deliberately arranged to show traces of cannibalism due to hunger. In this case, even if the royal court had suspicions, they would not disclose the incisions. The woman's death comes to mind because the entire Yelu tribe knows that Yelu Qiye Guangyi He always believed that he ordered the execution of Qi Yeguang's mother because of that woman, and that woman was ordered by the royal court to marry into the Yelu family. She was domineering and domineering, and she monitored him day and night, and tried to kill Yelu Qi Yeguang several times. Now he was killed by Yelu Qiyeguang, but in the eyes of Wang Ting, it seemed logical.

Isn’t the tradition of the Yelu family just cannibalism? Wang Ting also knew such secrets, and in the end the matter was settled.

What happened back then seems like it happened yesterday. In the blink of an eye, I am old and my little daughter has grown up. In order to take over the Yelu family, I know quite well how I dealt with the subordinates of the former head of the family. Such a tragedy can't be staged again. Those who can be here are all those who have followed me for many years. During the whole series, he fought many battles in the north and south, and was bloody for many times. Many of them followed him from youth to middle age, and even into old age, blocking arrows and bleeding for himself. There is absolutely no doubt about their loyalty. When he went south, he was Yelu Hongtai really couldn't bear to watch these people fight their way to the dark side.

"Sir, the imperial envoy wants to see you!" Just when Yelu Hongtai was extremely distressed, a guard of the Yelu family came in eagerly from outside. 8
