There was no sound in the big tent, only the heavy breathing of Xiangguo and the king echoed.

Seeing this, Qi Yang smiled slightly, and nodded to the dozen or so guards who followed him into the big tent. Several guards immediately dispersed in the tent, and drew out their long swords in unison.

The roof of the tent burst open, and the iron frame hidden under the soft canvas was no longer covered. About ten Yi soldiers who had been ambushing for a long time were exposed in the eyes of the people in the tent.

Qi Yang's guards moved in unison as if they were one person, immediately put away the long knife, pulled out the flintlock gun from his waist, and aimed at the soldiers clinging to the iron frame.

The atmosphere in the tent was tense to the extreme!

At this moment, the soldier captain who was in ambush already felt the despair of extinction.

Daxia is their big brother when it comes to making firecrackers. Yiguo’s firecracker guns were taken back from the battlefield, and they were made by relying on the exquisite craftsmanship and mass-produced high-quality pig iron of the Yiguo blacksmiths. , Not only is it easy to explode the gun, but it is also inaccurate, which is why most of their group still carry bows and arrows.However, Daxia's firecrackers have been reformed several times, and they are no longer as basic as the earliest three-eyed firecrackers. Not only is their accuracy far higher than theirs, but their ejection speed is much faster. Facing such a huge What else can they do?Is it the last fight, no matter whether it is life or death, hit luck first?

When the soldiers and the guards were confronting each other and the dark tide was raging, Qi Yang suddenly stepped forward and broke the silence in the tent.

"Xiangguo, the lord of the country." He nodded casually to the two sitting in front of him, but these two titles were like a sharp thorn, piercing into the hearts of the two of them.

The seal of the country has been lost, and at that moment, they are no longer the ministers of the country, nor are they the leaders of the country...

However, Qi Yang didn't seem to mind this, cleared his throat, frowned slightly, with a look of regret: "It's not just your servants who are disobedient, even these soldiers are disobedient."

Following his voice, Salwar glanced to one side with trembling fingers.

There, the assassin Fan Zong's body was lying on the ground, dying with unsatisfactory eyes, and the blood splattered all over the ground showed that what a cruel thing happened right here, just now.

The instigator was still smiling at him with a gentle tone, but Salva always felt that he heard an infinite threat from it: "Although everyone is a citizen of Daxia now, after all, these people have been with you for a long time. I am an outsider. It’s not good to do it for you, please make your own decision.”

At this moment, not only Salva's fingers, but even his lips trembled together.

I don't know if it was his illusion, but the red-clothed general in front of him exuded endless coercion, making him even the majestic lord of a country unable to bear the urge to surrender.

Xiangguo beside him was constantly gesticulating with his eyes and mouth.

—he was saying, quick, do it.

Salva understood what he meant. If he gave up and bowed his head at this time, there must be no good results waiting for him in the future. Originally, the ruler of the country and the king of subjugation should not expect to continue the glory and wealth of the past, but now the more serious thing is , he even tried to assassinate the enemy general who came to accept the surrender, and got all the stolen goods...

It seemed that there was only one dead end before him.

But if you move your hands, what can you do?Fish dead and net broken?

Salva was suddenly a little tired and a little confused.

Originally, he inherited the throne very reluctantly. The elder brother is so strong, and the third younger brother is favored. What a big mess, and he has no ability. On the one hand, he was beaten helplessly by Daxia's Jingyuan Army, on the other hand, Sai Fan from Rong Kingdom was about to move, and he was threatened by that mysterious person... Even if With the help of the old Xiangguo, he was also struggling, and he didn't want to do it for a long time.

The overly tense nerves made Salva unable to make any rational decisions at this time. He sighed, shrank his body, wiped his eyes, and said in a hoarse voice: "What General Qi said is very... Pass down the order to kill the rebels and rectify the army!"

The soldiers on the roof stared in disbelief.

They worked so hard for the country, but they didn't expect that what they were waiting for now was a light "kill" from the ruler. Could it be that the meaning of their existence was to watch the Xia people become the masters of their country without any resistance?

"My lord!—"

The squad leader roared rather sharply, but it was too late.

The lord of the Yi Kingdom, Salva, was stunned on the ground, covering his face as if he hadn't heard anything, and kept murmuring:

"I am the king of subjugation... I am subjugated..."

The troops of the Yi Kingdom swarmed in, tied up all these people and took them out of the big tent, and then they could only hear screams, and when Qi Yang walked out of the big tent, those ambush soldiers had disappeared, only the soldiers on the edge of the Dingjiang River were left. The traces of blood that haven't completely dissipated.

**

On the top of Shuangya Mountain, two slender figures were standing against the wind, one with honey skin and a red dress, the other wrapped in a black cloak, not very conspicuous in the dim night.

The bright moon hangs high, reflecting on the vast Longxi grassland. Looking down from the mountain, three turbulent rivers converge here, hitting the jagged rocks on the shore, and the turbulent waves roll up thousands of piles of snow. The black swirl reflects a faint luster in the night.

On the west bank of the Dingjiang River near their side at the bottom of the mountain, there are thousands of camps densely packed, countless, and the marching team holding high torches looked down from the mountain, like a long dragon formed by the convergence of several sparks, gradually approaching a central point, Just like the rolling river.

Spectacular.

Standing on the top of the mountain, Xie Tingchun looked at this heart-pounding scene, and couldn't help but look up at the side face of the person next to him, which was more clearly defined under the staggered light of fire and moonlight.

Yi Country has completely surrendered, and this afternoon, Qi Yang led his army to successfully knock on the gate of Pinghai City, the last capital of Yi Country and also their holy city.

With serious expressions and neat military appearances, Xia Guo's army exuded an iron-blooded aura as they stepped across the main road of Pinghai City, and their final destination was the altar in the center of Pinghai City.

In the past, the ruler of the Yi Kingdom would come to Pinghai City every year to hold an annual large-scale sacrificial event, praying for a good weather in the coming year.On the sacred and inviolable altar in the past, Qi Yang, dressed in red, stood still at the top of the altar, gently raised his hand, and his firm voice spread to every corner of the army.

"Sacrificial flag."

Zhu Dalang, who was much taller and was promoted to be a standard bearer because of his martial arts skills, strode forward, raising his sword and dropping it.

The green bull used for sacrifice immediately splattered three feet with blood.

Qi Yang held up the pottery bowl in his hand high, crystal clear wine spilled from the edge of the bowl, he drank it all as soon as he raised his head, and shouted loudly: "The wind is blowing, the clouds are flying, we will return to our hometown!"

Then he threw the wine bowl heavily on the ground with one hand.

The pottery bowl shattered in an instant, and a crisp sound was transmitted to the ears of everyone present.

Galloping on the battlefield, dominating the world, and returning home, how many ordinary soldiers have the most extraordinary dream?

A few simple words ignited a raging fire in the hearts of tens of thousands of Xia Jun!

"Long live Daxia—!"

Accompanied by Xia Jun Shanhu's shouting of the tsunami, thousands of pottery bowls were thrown on the ground in unison at this moment, and the violent noise almost made the earth tremble and shake.

The fiery red "Qi" flags of the Jingyuan army were erected one after another, and soon spread all over the Dingcheng.

However, the Jingyuan army that entered the city was different from many other troops that attacked the city. Under Qi Yang's request, all the soldiers kept their eyes on each other, and did not rob, plunder, or take needles from the ordinary people of Dingcheng. After completing the final sacrificial ceremony at the altar of Chengda, he led the surrendered tribes of the Yi Kingdom back the same way and withdrew from Dingcheng in a mighty manner.

The surrendered army from the Yi Kingdom has a total of more than [-] soldiers and horses, and at this moment they are gradually being recruited by the Jingyuan Army overnight, so far, Qi Yang's Jingyuan Army has [-] soldiers and horses.

This number has far exceeded the average level of a deputy general. To be exact, some generals may not even be able to command such a large-scale army in their entire lives.

The long river formed by the flames gathered under the mountains was formed by the torches held up by the defeated generals.

From this day on, the huge Yi country was completely destroyed.

This is a sleepless night for many people.

At this moment, Xie Tingchun stood on the top of the mountain, never feeling so clearly that the course of history is slowly being reversed before his eyes.

"The other side of the Dingjiang River is Rong Kingdom." In the silence, Qi Yang suddenly said, looking into the distance with deep eyes: "We are with Rong Kingdom, I am afraid there will be a big war soon."

Xie Tingchun raised his eyebrows slightly, and a look of surprise flashed across his face: "Brother, why did you say that? After the last Three Kingdoms War, Rong Guo lost a lot of energy, and now it's time to recuperate."

"Sai Fan won't do that." Qi Yang shook his head when he heard the words. He was also a general, so he understood Sai Fan's thinking very clearly: "The national power of the Rong country is far stronger than that of the Yi country. Breaking through, if they don't use war to force peace, they will be in a passive position, and it is the same for us Daxia, only by taking the initiative can we take the lead."

"Taking the initiative..." Xie Tingchun murmured in a low voice, a trace of worry flashed in his heart.

With the appearance of today's Emperor Qi, and the power of He Ge Lao, can the eldest brother really take the initiative to attack smoothly?

"Yes, take the initiative to attack." Qi Yang's voice was unprecedentedly firm: "Fighting against the Rong Kingdom is different from the Yi Kingdom, and we need to make more preparations... Now that the territory has expanded, the Longxi iron mines have all been owned by Daxia. Looking for craftsmen, researching ways to mass-produce flintlock guns more quickly, and at the same time raising troops in the new land, within two years, we should be able to make complete preparations and send troops to conquer Rong Kingdom."

He spoke very fast and his tone was very firm, with almost no gaps in the middle. It was obvious from a glance that these thoughts had been circling in his mind for a long time and had been carefully considered.

"At that time, we will recover Longxi and drive the Rong people back to the western border, and Daxia will be able to reopen the commercial roads leading to the central land, and communicate with other countries, so that the people of the entire western border can live... a peaceful and prosperous life. .”

When he said this, Qi Yang's eyes shone brightly, looking extraordinarily beautiful under the reflection of the moonlight and firelight.

"Brother." Xie Tingchun stared at him obsessively, and then said softly after a while: "What is your wish?"

Qi Yang raised his eyebrows slightly, his expression was a bit surprised, Li Nu rarely talked to him in such a serious tone, but judging from his expression, it didn't look like he was joking.

He couldn't help pondering for a moment, then raised his eyes to look at the scenery in front of him.

Looking at the Longxi Grassland under the nightfall from the top of this mountain, it reminded him of his hometown, Wuyuan.

Immediately with a bit of reminiscence, he said slowly and solemnly: "I used to have very small wishes, I only hope that everyone can live."

"But right now, I want them to not only live, but to live well."

Speaking of this, Qi Yang turned his head and showed a smile, as if a little embarrassed: "Aren't you very greedy?"

Xie Tingchun felt that something had stabbed him in the heart again, he paused for a moment, then looked into the distance and said in a deep voice: "No, this wish is very good."

After a while, there seemed to be some inexplicable things in his expression, Qi Yang suddenly felt that the young man beside him seemed to be making some resolutions, and seemed to be undergoing some transformation.

"I will help you achieve your wish, brother."

The low voice sounded again and drifted into the night wind.

**

The capital, above the court.

One by one the ebony boxes were opened on the main hall, revealing shocking items.

The king of Yi's sacrificing golden man, the royal crown, the gold and silver jewelry of the Yi's royal family, and the tools that can forge the golden armor and iron pagoda... are lined up in a row, vast and mighty, as if there is no end.

The courtiers have been stunned by this scene beyond imagination.

In the end, what was presented was the Yi Kingdom's national treasure seal still stained with bloodstains, and it was also a symbol of the entire Yi Kingdom.

Surrendered once, and after so many twists and turns in the middle, it is already strong enough without losing one soldier and one general. It is really shocking to have obtained so many spoils of war.The courtiers were envious of the Chinese officials, the military officers were jealous, and the undercurrents were raging. Each of them could hardly hide their little thoughts, and it was all written on their faces.

"Report to Your Majesty." Lu Kan finished introducing the loot that Qi Yang sent people to bring back to the capital, and then habitually began to praise Qi Yang's great achievements: "General Qi noticed that there was a difference in the big account before he entered the account. The lord of the country is very cunning, and even hid the archer in the tent, intending to take advantage of General Xiao Qi's unpreparedness and take his life. The lord of Deyi Kingdom ordered to kill all the rebels who were in ambush. Immediately, the army of Yi Kingdom was incorporated, and they worshiped the heaven and earth in the holy city of Yi Kingdom. great event!"

"Weichen suggested that several counties should be set up in the restored land of Longxi Grassland, and generals Qi and Xiao would act as the governors to guard the western border for our Great Xia Dynasty and expel Huma..."

Lu Kan has always been in the main battle, and Qi Dashi is on the same boat. Now that Qi Yang has made great contributions, he naturally spared no effort to fight for him. It's a pity that Emperor Tianqi seems to be only interested in all kinds of obsessive objects used by the barbarians to worship the sky. Quite interested, not listening very carefully.

Lu Kan's nagging continued for a long time, and Emperor Tianqi was in a daze. He only knew that this little general surnamed Qi had done something extraordinary again. He didn't like these clumsy people who fought and killed. General, but it does not prevent him from understanding the most basic principle of rewards and punishments. Thinking about it, a governor is nothing, so he nodded curtly after listening: "Yes, Ai Qing can figure it out."

As soon as he finished speaking, a stern and old voice suddenly sounded: "Your Majesty... this is absolutely impossible!"

Everyone looked up and found that it was He Xiuhe Ge old man. He seemed to be very old in the past two years, his body was thin, and he was a little out of breath even when he went to court. Clear, with a bitter chill: "Your Majesty, General Qi Dashi and his adopted son General Qi Yang have been in the limelight in recent years, but these two are a family, and they are unpredictable and good at winning people's hearts. Rule over Longxi, and when the two of them have perfected the management of this place and its wings are full, with their backs against the natural dangers of Jishui and Danhua Pass, these two men will have more than [-] iron cavalry in their hands and march eastward, and Great Xia will be in danger! "

"This remark is too cruel!" Lu Kan heard this, and immediately blew his beard and stared at him angrily. Regardless of court etiquette, he yelled at Old He Ge angrily: "The three generations of the Qi family are loyal, and the world can learn from you!" General Qi Yuankang saved the country from danger and led the army to protect the military divisions, so that the late emperor was able to ascend the throne in the current capital. General Qi Dashi made great achievements in battle and was awarded the title of Uncle Ning Yuan. Qigong, he is a loyal and righteous uncle personally appointed by the late emperor, such a good general who is dedicated to the country, but will be suspected, won't it make thousands of officers and soldiers of the Great Xia feel cold?"

As soon as the words fell, there was a sound of echoing.

"That's right! It's not easy for me to have this good general in Daxia. Instead of guarding at the border, he was recalled to the capital instead. What's the reason!"

"What Master Lu said is absolutely true!"

Emperor Tianqi was extremely disturbed by the chirping voices of civil servants, he rubbed his temples angrily, and wanted to tell them to stop arguing.

At this moment, He Ge's slow voice sounded again, which cannot be ignored.

"Loyalty? There is no such thing as absolute loyalty for generals in this world! Once a general becomes powerful and supports his troops, he is like a tiger returning to the mountain. It will be too late." The old man stroked his white beard and said coldly, "Longxi In the area, the common people all know the Qi Family Army and the Jing Yuan Army, but only Er Qi, and some people even enshrine longevity tablets for him at home and regard him as a god. They don’t know that there is a capital, let alone an imperial court! Your Majesty, please think again!”
