Starfall

Chapter 46 Two Years Later

In the first year of Lin Xi, he was usually called the 'one year of the troubled world' by later historians. Because since this year, the whole continent has begun a large-scale war. Some people also said that it was Chi Naisi's invasion of Mengyang to the south, and directly hit the city of Mengyang Emperor, which aroused the anger of the Mengyang royal family. Then he made up his mind to defeat the barbaric race on the grassland in the far north with rich financial resources, manpower and material resources in the south through a large-scale war. In fact, Chi Nasi's expedition against Mengyang in the first year of Lin Xi at the end of Shenluo only appeared on the stage at the beginning of the troubled times, and even Chi Nasi did not realize that he was standing on the stage of the prelude to the troubled times.

It was an accident in this era of war, because Mengyang under the rule of Emperor Shinra did a good job in all aspects of wealth, army and people's livelihood. During the 29 years under the rule of Emperor Shinra, the barbarians only had a few invasions, mostly on a small scale. People live a peaceful and healthy life, comfortable and prosperous. The Fanyang Dynasty in the west of Mengyang only maintained a commercial relationship with Mengyang and had nothing to do with it politically. The super hegemony on the two roads of Mengyang and Fanyang seems to be deliberately avoiding contact with each other, developing silently in their own territory without interfering with each other.

The era of war seems to be inevitable. The barbarians in the far north suffered great damage after the cruel drought, and had to recover their summer losses through the campaign to the south, and cope with the cold winter in the grasslands of the far north. In the face of the invasion of Chi Nasi, the princes of Mengyang stood up one after another and stood on the opposite side of the royal family, trying to take advantage of the chaos. When Mengyang was in danger, the young Emperor Lin Xi was born, killed his father and brother, and defeated the barbarian invaders under the capital of Emperor Mengyang. The Mengyang Empire can be said to be the rest of his life after the disaster. The young new emperor was determined to change the situation of Mengyang, a huge empire, which was too rich and bloated and weak. First, he destroyed the feudal system of princes that lasted for more than 300 years in Mengyang, executed all the princes and kings, expanded his army, increased military investment, and established the iron cavalry of Mengyang. At the same time, it formed an alliance with the barbarians to lay the foundation for future wars.

The whole continent is immersed in inexplicable repression. Maybe the civilians at the bottom don't feel anything, but the hegemon standing at the highest level of the continent surges against the undercurrent on the continent **. The expansionary policy of Emperor Mengyang Linxi attracted the attention of the Fanyang royal family. The Fanyang royal family will not ignore the various policies of Emperor Linxi, and also began to invest in armaments, use the 16-year-old imperial palace Yuehuahou and the imperial palace Yan general, and alliance with the far north Chinasi to try to get the support of the barbarians. However, the barbarian kings and kings are not willing to be ordinary talents. The grassland emperor Chi Nasi is determined to tear off a large piece of rich territory in the south as a gift for the descendants of the grassland with his little life. The great shaman representing the Tengri god holds two secret races and silently plans something. And under the leadership of the Lion King and the secretly support of the Mengyang Empire, another powerful tribe on the grassland, under the absolute rule of the grassland that overthrew the Chinas troops for more than 100 years...

Emperor Lin Xi, King of Chi Nasi, King of Alislan Khan, Emperor Fanyang Mingchan, Yudian Yuehou, General Yudian Yan - these dazzling rulers like stars shine in the sky, condescendingly worshipped by the world, and waved the scepter in their hands indifferently, and wherever their eyes are determined It's a river of blood and endless war...

But these brightest stars in the night sky seem to be pulled by big hands that have never been seen, colliding with each other and splashing dazzling sparks, and then seeing which star falls and which one lifts into the sky... In the eyes of these dark and troubled promoters, the world is a journey. Drama, war is the process of the game. They don't care who wins or loses, or how many people will die. They just enjoy this feeling - hold the world in their arms and break it fiercely...

The prologue of troubled times has begun, and the emperors in power are struggling to turn their strongest desire into reality, while the young emperors are slowly growing in the corners of the world...

The mainland has been swaying year after year in such a stormy environment, but the seemingly calm situation is like a volcano that will erupt at any time. Maybe I slept peacefully tonight, and when I woke up from my dream, I saw a river of blood.

Since the first year of Lin Xi, Mengyang's military strength has expanded to a shocking level. Under the will of the royal family, he continued to expand the army and increase military expenditure. The number of light armored brigades alone has tripled from 100,000 to 300,000, and there are also 200,000 second-line warriors as preparation. By having barbarian blood. The wind and thunder cavalry armed with war horses finally appeared on the historical stage. This 50,000-person cavalry warrior has the steel armor made by the world's most advanced metallurgical technology, which can tightly cover the warriors under the armor without affecting the flexibility of the warriors. Through this advanced metallurgical technology, Mengyang's armor weighs only 20 catties, but it can resist all stabbing and chopping except heavy crossbows and long guns. With the barbarian war horses, the wind and thunder ride like a highly mobile fortress. If the red horse is a rolling iron stream, the wind and thunder horse is a sharp armor-breaking gun that can pierce all the existence that dares to hinder Emperor Lin Xi's hegemony.

Although the money spent on building such a cavalry is unimaginable, the cost of horses and armor alone is unbearable, but Emperor Lin Xi doesn't care at all. Maybe Emperor Shinra left a rich family for him, or maybe the young emperor's heart was full of desire for hegemony, and these copper smelly things could not attract his attention at all.

Ye Qingshan, the traitor of the Ye family, the lord of the Yuanye Kingdom and the brother of General Zhentian, was appointed as the leader of the Wind and Thunder Horse. Ye Qingshan's military talent is no less than that of the famous general Ye Mingshan, but his light was covered up by the general. The general is no longer there, and Ye Qingshan's talent can finally be used to his heart's content. Under his training, the fighting power of the wind and thunder horse became stronger and stronger, and it quickly rose to the point where it could be compared with the original strong soldiers of Shen. But the traitor general knew how much he had paid to win the trust of the royal family, and also knew the end of betraying the royal family. His loyalty to Emperor Lin Xi is really like a loyal dog, and the great master who always wears a red robe. No matter what, he can't betray him, and he is even afraid that the great master will surpass the emperor.

Emperor Lin Xi demanded absolute loyalty and absolutely fearless. Yeqing still remembers that when the officially formed wind and thunder horse was reviewed by the emperor, the emperor in golden armor held his sword high and looked up to the sky and roared, the warriors looked trembling. For this young emperor, the common people felt that he was kind and gentle, and believed that he could bring peace to Mengyang and happiness, but the senior officials of the empire were only deeply in awe of the young emperor.

Emperor Lin Xi looked down at the warriors neatly straddling on the war horse, dressed in armor like a tiger. His dark eyes did not have any emotion, and his face hidden under the helmet of the gluttony had no expression, so he looked down at the warriors who shouted at him. The military flag of "Wanyi" rolled like an angry wave, and the warriors of the whole school martial arts field were extremely solemn. But what the emperor said to them made them unforgettable for life-

"I just want you to be absolutely loyal to the royal family and Mengyang. You are the first Mengyang cavalry, representing the highest combat strength of the Mengyang Empire. I don't allow any coward to exist in my Mengyang's ace army. One person kills one cowardly, and one team kills one team cowardly. If one army is cowardly, I will not hesitate to kill all of you and recruit warriors for retraining. I just want to be absolutely loyal and absolutely strong!"

But the warriors didn't care about the emperor's words at all, but roared in unison: Long live your majesty!

The whole school martial arts arena is full of warriors' enthusiasm. At that time, Ye Qingshan felt that such an army and such an emperor were given by heaven to Mengyang! Even when he was calm, he couldn't help shouting with the warriors with weapons: Long live your majesty!

Mengyang's military and financial resources are at the peak of history, and he happens to be an emperor with supreme appeal. It is no exaggeration to say that even if all the troops of Mengyang destroy Emperor Linxi, they can recruit another million troops in a short period of time. The whole Mengyang seems to be immersed in the enthusiasm for the expansion of the empire. As long as this is the purpose, the old parents do not hesitate to send their sons to the battlefield. The wife is willing to shoulder the burden of the family alone, and the children are also enthusiastic about joining the army - when the army full of foreign wealth comes back, Mengyang's people are deeply absorbed by the world outside the empire. In addition, they are crazy about the development of territory and are obsessed with all kinds of jewelry and precious wood, raw materials, leather and other things shipped back. The whole empire is in such a morbid and almost crazy expansion war.

The contemporary emperor of Mengyang sat high on the throne of the emperor's star falling hall, coldly looking at Mengyang's territory extending, extending, extending... Looking at the place pointed by his sword, Mengyang's 'Wanqi' flag flew on every inch of land. Emperor Lin Xi said coldly and arrogantly, "My hegemony is unstoppable, and I am very gratified."

But the impoverished emperor did not realize that the huge Mengyang Empire had slowly approached the irreparable abyss.

In order to compete with the aggressive Mengyang, the Fanyang Dynasty also increased its military penetration, but Fanyang pays more attention to the development technology than Mengyang. When the World War began, a new type of mass destruction machine was put into the war, and this killing machine aggravated the severity of the war. As Yin Zhe, the son of General Yan, said, the new machine can push arrows a thousand steps away to kill people. Countless warriors died inexplicably, and even later, people were biased against the geniuses who developed a new machine manufacturing process - caught them and burned them to death in public.

And Fanyang's Cang navy, Aoyu long shooting, ghost department and other arms can still not fall behind in the initial confrontation with Mengyang. Although the combat effectiveness of the army of the Fanyang Dynasty is not as good as that of the fanatical Mengyang warriors, the command ability of General Yan has attracted worldwide attention. An excellent general can often control the course of war. However, Fanyang's generals have always been in a state of lack of successors. When General Yudian Yan unfortunately died behind him, no one could mobilize Fanyang's huge military system, which was defeated under Mengyang's fierce offensive.

Fortunately, General Beichen appeared just right. He took Fanyang's army into his own control by various means and led Fanyang to begin to resist Mengyang's campaign. It achieved the prestige of General Beichen and the later establishment of the Mengfan Dynasty.

Naturally, these are the aftert words.

The war in troubled times is unfolding at an unstoppable speed. The collision of the strongest combat forces of the barbarians, Mengyang and Fanyang, the fierce battle between cavalry and the brigades, the input of new aircraft, and even the pushers of the secret race can be seen from the bloody war. I don't want to add beauty to the prosperous times, but to settle the eight wildernesses in troubled times. This is the era of creating emperors and the era of the fall of emperors. When the dazzling stars fall, the world shakes, and when the dust settles, the dazzling new stars will rise again...

Dream solar calendar, in July of the fourth year of Linxi, the grassland is in midsummer.

The mainland has spent three years slowly in the stormy haze, and the grassland in the extreme north has also ushered in a final period of peace.

The barbarians live by water and soil. Every winter comes, the herdsmen of the major tribes will return to the fertile grassland on the south bank of the Rana River for the winter. In April of the following year, they will move back to the summer pastures to restore their vitality to the pastures for winter. Chinas's pasture is the most fertile and rich in the summer pastures of several major tribes, which is also something that the grassland emperor should enjoy.

Every year, the days when tribes are scattered in summer pastures are the calmest and most comfortable, because small battles between tribes will stop. Shepherds have to drive cattle and sheep to a place with abundant water and grass every day to make them fat. Only when cattle and sheep grow their meat in summer can they survive the cold winter after autumn and winter. Moreover, the tribes are scattered and thousands of miles apart, which is also one of the reasons for the reduction of fighting.

At this time, the king was not in the tent. He was accompanied by only a few warriors, wearing a loose coat, sitting on a high-land bag. His amber eyes were slightly narrowed by the sun in the far north of July, and behind him was a bitter apricot forest. The warm summer wind blew through, coming with the slightly pungent aroma of grass, and the bitter fragrance of the apricot tree could not help pour into his nose. It is a great pleasure to lie lazily on the grassland in July. July and August is the busiest time for herdsmen, but it is also the most leisure time for kings.

The king condescendingly looked at the river winding from the firefield in the distance. The winding river circled one river after another. The grass in the river cover is the best growing, and cattle and sheep are the favorite. From time to time, a large flock of sheep approached the king's sight, like a white cloud falling in the blue sky.

He had a grass stem in his mouth, gently closed his eyes, and then fell back. The grass on the grassland was more than half a foot high. In this way, the king slept in the grass, surrounded by the fragrance of grass, and the bitter apricot forest behind him was blown by the wind - the king became sleepy. Maybe when he is old, the king's energy is not as good as before, and he always wants to doze off. He put his only left right arm under his head. For so many years, he has been used to living with only one hand.

But although he is sleepy, his brain is still running at a high speed. Nearly three years have passed since the alliance with Fanyang's messengers, Fanyang has really fulfilled their promise to provide a large amount of money and materials for Chi Naisi. The losses of the heroic horse and the hornetal horse in the southern expedition have also recovered. Even the establishment of the heroic horse has reached an unprecedented 60,000, and the horde has been expanded to 10,000. With Fanyang's funding, the men who can fight can be liberated from grazing and join the army. Under the training of General Zerhua, the warriors of the big wind tent are becoming stronger and stronger, as well as slave warriors scattered in other parts of the grassland. If all their combat strength are included, Chi Nasi already has nearly 200,000 warriors. This is already an amazing number for tribes with a population of no more than one million.

The king sighed. The man on the grassland did not live long. A barbarian boy could get married and start a family at the age of 15, move out of his parents' tent and become the head of the family. It also means that in the future, we must obey the king's orders and be ready to die for the family and the tribe.

According to the plan with the Great Shaman, will the whole war in the far north begin in another year? Ha ha, that's good. Fighting for the world for Su Rile with his last life can also be regarded as leaving something for him to be a king. Thinking of Suil and Ke, the king couldn't help smiling. Since the child followed him to participate in the Southern Expedition, he has become much stronger, especially when the stars were kidnapped two years ago. In the past two years, he has learned from General Zaerhua and has been a teacher. None of the young people of his peers on the grassland are Suil's opponents. Moreover, he also joined the vigorous riding, and now he is a thousand captain. He followed General Su to learn the principle of leading the army to fight - although Tengri God took Monturatu, the youngest son did not let him down.

Only one thing, Su Iller once told him that becoming a king is not the life he wants to be the lord of the grassland. However, because he is the son of the king of Chinasi and the son of the Chinasi, he has to be strong, cold and hard, carry the white wolf flag of Chinasi, and defend the glory of the emperor of the Chinasi grassland. The child said more than once that he was tired of life in the army. What he wanted to do was to have a small flock of sheep, take a big dog, drive them to graze every day, wander on the grassland, lie on the grass when he is tired, sleep, and drink a sip of sheep's milk when he wakes up. It is such a relaxed and leisurely life.

But this is a luxury.

How can a child born in the emperor's family have such a tired heart?

The king sighed in a low voice. He wanted to plunge the grassland into war and then become a whole, and then poured out all his strength to tear down a large piece of territory for the barbarians from the greedy southerners. Then... and then wait for him to die, even if the flood is huge, the sky will collapse and the earth will only be a matter for later people. That's it. This life has broken my heart for the grassland, and the king is really tired. Even now I want to throw the burden on Suil...

"Hmm?" Why is there a smell of wine and meat in the wind? The sound of the grass around me is coming. Is anyone coming?

"Big Shaman!" Several warriors shouted respectfully.

It turned out that this old man came. The king didn't get up and lay motionless. There were not so many false gifts between him and the big shaman. The old man also sat beside him, kicked the king, and said rudely, "I have something to say."

"Hmm!" The king still closed his eyes and hummed softly.

"I want Yumeng Erdun to marry the night stars. About the son Suil and Ke, you see..."

The king's face suddenly became gloomy and said firmly, "No!" There was no hesitation to refuse the words of the great shaman. His amber eyes opened, looked at the big shaman beside him, and looked at the old man's white beard and old wrinkled face, with an extremely resolute expression.
