Chapter 192 Selection
When the lakeside of the Imperial City was quiet, the bustling Vientiane City was bustling with people, but there was no sound in a luxurious wing in the east of the city.
Wearing a black-bottomed green-patterned dress, Lou Ji crossed her arms and leaned against a pillar beside her:
"This is the reason why my sister is leaving. The beginning of this year will be troubled."
“.”
Xu Yuan didn't say anything immediately, but carefully looked at the latest "Grade A" internal reference that Lou Ji just handed him.
With his current status, it should not be enough to see this level of internal reference, but who made Lou Ji love him.
Just now she came to him suddenly and said that she was going to leave, and after asking a few reasons, Lou Ji directly gave him the internal reference in front of her.
About the Northern War.
For a while,
As a ray of blood flames rose, and the paper in his hand burned out, Xu Yuan frowned very tightly.
Although there was a lot of fighting here in the Wanxing Mountain Range, not even a war giant appeared, which meant that Gu Yuan was just routinely consuming the number of monsters in the mountains this year as a test. If it weren't for the Wanxiang Sect's ulterior motives, Shengshan County wouldn't be too big. casualties.
Today's Northern Territory can be regarded as the only place where Dayan Dynasty can truly call war.
Therefore, Xu Yuan in the northern border has always been concerned about that side.
People always like to pay attention to these things, especially when you can get real first-hand information.
When Xu Yuan first came to Vientiane City, he asked someone to ask for similar information, regardless of whether it was the official mansion newspaper or the internal reference of the Xiangguo Mansion, there were frequent good news.
Either beheading two thousand barbarians on a certain mountain, or besieging the main force of a certain tribe of barbarians on such and such a river, or even the largest battle, the Princess Wu Yuan slaughtered the main force of a large tribe directly after defeating it The entire tribe consists of 70,000 to 80,000 people, young and old.
Princess Wu Yuan’s thoughts this time are easy to guess. Even if the barbarians can’t be wiped out, you will have to be beaten for twenty years.
But now the painting style has changed suddenly.
The good news is gone, the 40,000 Yulin army led by Wu Yuan, together with 20,000 elite soldiers from various sects and aristocratic families, were directly surrounded by the barbarian kings in Dali Mountain.
After a little silence, Xu Yuan stood up, frowning and walked a few steps in the room:
"The 40,000 defenders of Hejia Town's main traffic route were defeated, causing the main army's land supply and food roads to be cut off? And the two second-rank powerhouses from Lingshui Palace who brought Xu Mijie to transport the army's food and equipment It was also directly intercepted and killed by the barbarians at Tianpuya"
Xu Yuan felt a little ridiculous.
He still has a little understanding of the war mode in this world, but he knows that there are three ways to transport supplies.
In addition to the regular land and air transportation, the strong will take a few or even a dozen Xumi rings on their way quickly.
The prime minister's attack on Vientiane City this time transported most of the supplies and equipment through the latter.
This is also the reason why Xumijie is very rare. It is a strategic material in the true sense, a strategic material that can relieve the army from supply pressure.
It is understandable that the food road was cut off on the road. There could be many reasons for the loss of the classics, but the high-level cultivator was intercepted and killed is a bit unreasonable.
Lou Ji sighed with helplessness on her lazy face:
"Long day, these things happened together in two days."
These words are somewhat suggestive.
Of course Xu Yuan could hear the hint.
Tianxun Yuanjing’s array pattern technology is only available in the Xiangguo Mansion, and the degree of confidentiality of the information is classified as a top secret in the first class.
In other words, even if someone sent a message to Wu Yuan at the front line immediately after the incident, it would be too late.
This is the time when someone gives absolutely no reaction to that Princess Moo Won.
Thinking of this,
Xu Yuan looked up at Lou Ji:
"The sect made it?"
The internal references only state what happened objectively, and do not comment on some speculative information.
Lou Ji spread her hands:
"I don't know, but there is a high probability that it is."
Xu Yuan felt a sense of absurdity in his heart:
"But the 40,000 troops guarding Hejia Town and the 20,000 elite troops around Wu Yuan are all from the sect, not to mention there are two Yuanchu powerhouses."
Lou Ji came closer, leaned down and patted Xu Yuan's shoulder lightly, with a deep meaning in her phoenix eyes:
"Changtian, there are 60,000 people, but there are really not many sects in the whole world. The same is true for the two origins."
Silence.
Then,
Xu Yuan was a little puzzled: "Zongmen. What is this going to do?"
Lou Ji did not answer this question directly, but just added a piece of information:
"The Black Scale Guard revealed that several spies collected the materials that Wu Yuan escorted when he went north, not for 40,000 people, but for 100,000 people."
"One hundred thousand people" Xu Yuan had a strange expression: "You mean she still hides people?"
Lou Ji smiled and waved her fingers, and said softly:
"The 200,000 troops from the six towns of Marquis Wu Cheng, due to some incidents a few years ago, when the old man Li Yaoxuan transferred Marquis Wu Cheng back to the capital, he brought four towns to guard the capital, but after Wu Yuan broke through the barbarians all the way, in the Three of the four towns in the Imperial Capital have been secretly transferred, and it is estimated that they will be able to reach Beifeng City in half a decade, and I only found out about it a decade ago."
“.”
Hearing this, Xu Yuan suddenly understood.
They are not the only ones who can secretly mobilize troops in this world.
The Dayan royal family also has this strength, but it seems that the secrecy work is not as good as their operation this time.
But the emperor secretly mobilized so many elites to go to the northern border
Xu Yuan rubbed between his brows:
"Then the emperor wants to use this opportunity to deal with the barbarians in the north at once?"
"should be."
Lou Ji nodded in satisfaction, with a hint of nostalgia in her tone, as if recalling the past:
"Li Yaoxuan is an ambitious monarch. He knows that his life is not long, and wants to get rid of some threats before he dies, but the sect hopes to maintain the status quo, which is a pity."
“.”
Xu Yuan sat down on the heavy desk, with a hint of sarcasm on his expression:
"Zongmen. Does this count as knowing that the lips are dead and the teeth are cold?"
Lou Ji shrugged her fair shoulders, as a tacit consent.
Everything is clear.
There are many smart people in the sect.
Although the royal family and the Xiangguo Mansion are all smiling and wanting peace talks, the events of more than ten years ago are still on the table, and it is impossible without precautions.
It is possible to solve the surrounding alien races, but it is not necessary, because maintaining the status quo is in the best interest of the sect.
After all, who knows who will be next after you deal with the surrounding alien races?
The emperor knew what Zongmen thought.
If you can’t come clearly, then come secretly.
Been laying out since a few years ago.
The beginning of the war in the northern border was not going well, and the defeat of each other all the way until the besieged city of Beifeng was most likely acquiesced by the emperor.
Because the emperor knew that Beifeng City could not be lost, because the sect could not let the bottom line of Beifeng City be lost.
So acquiescence.
On the surface, the 40,000 Yulin army led by Wu Yuan took the lead in breaking the siege of Beifeng, coerced the sect to recover the lost land, and launched a retaliatory attack on the barbarians.
In fact, the food, grass and supplies have already arrived, and when the Beifeng army rushes to the northern border, it will not be revenge, but the real genocide.
Thinking to this point, Xu Yuan exhaled and said the same:
"It's really a pity"
He is not an animal protection organization. Even if the barbarians are slaughtered, he will not have the slightest opinion.
If the emperor's plan is successful, at least he doesn't have to worry about the barbarians going south and becoming a boss when they attack the sect in the future.
but
Xu Yuan looked at Lou Ji with helplessness in his eyes:
"Sister, it seems that I still overestimate the bottom line of these sects."
Directly destroy your plan by breaking your wrists, there is no flaw at all, and there is no righteous reason for wanting to settle accounts after the fall.
At most, it will launch a few targets for you to chop.
Lou Ji didn't make any fuss about this, she said with a charming smile:
"Bottom line? What is that? Their very existence is stealing the country. Besides stealing the country, is there anything strange about betraying the clan for their own benefit?"
But at this point, she raised her hand and gave Xu Yuan a pat on the head, her eyes narrowed into two crescents, which was very dangerous:
"But Long Tian, this project is not over yet~"
Xu Yuan was taken aback when he heard the words, and immediately realized:
"Father also has a backhand?"
"It's not your father, it's Zong Qingsheng. He smelled it from the previous war and went to the northern border ahead of time."
Lou Ji's red lips curled up, her tone was a bit disdainful, but the eyes in her eyes were full of appreciation: "I thought this big **** would know that he would steal money from your sister and me at the end of the year, but now it seems that it has some effect. "
Xu Yuan thought for a while, recalling this person.
It is all the memory of the previous life, and this person is almost absent in the memory of this life, because this person seldom comes to Xiangguo Mansion.
Probably, it should be to avoid suspicion. He controls the entire army of the Xiangguo Mansion, and it is easy to meet other high-level Xiangguo Mansions when he stays in the Xiangguo Mansion, especially Hua Hong who controls the Tianan Chamber of Commerce.
Now it seems that the other party has a high level of political consciousness.
However, in Cangyuan, Xu Yuan had a deep impression of this person.
Zong Qingsheng, one of the senior officials of the Xiangguo Mansion who learned of Xu Yinhe's life and death in Cangyuan and was buried there.
A very fierce late boss.
"Mr. Zong brought the army there?"
"otherwise?"
Lou Ji took it for granted, with a smile: "Old man Zong can't even beat the second rank in his military formation skills. What's the use of him going alone? He brought 30,000 black scale army elites to the village near a river near Dali Mountain. Nested in the col, waiting for news from your father."
"He brought Tianxun Yuanjing?" Xu Yuan asked.
"right."
Lou Ji nodded, and when she mentioned this, a trace of displeasure appeared on her charming face, and she pursed her lips: "The three Tianxun crystals in the experimental stage, one is with your father, one is with that kid Xu Changge, and finally One is at the old man's place, and I don't even have one, tsk tsk."
Speaking, Lou Ji suddenly winked at Xu Yuan:
"Changtian, your brother has the Tianxun wafer because he is the heir, and it will probably be handed over to you in the future"
“.”
Xu Yuan rolled his eyes directly.
here we go again.
The old aunt started looking for benefits from him as soon as she didn't pay attention.
Less than a month after we met, he paid him 15 million taels of silver, and took away two rare Charm Flowers that are now extinct.
If Xu Yuan, the last succubi flower, insisted on saving it for Su succubus, he would probably have been slapped by this old aunt by now.
Lou Ji stepped forward, eagerly shaking Xu Yuan's shoulder:
"Long Sky."
"You want me to take the initiative to ask for Xu Changge's Tianxun wafer?" Xu Yuan asked, turning her back.
"Uh-huh."
Lou Ji nodded, her movements were a little big, and she swayed.
Xu Yuan grinned at the corner of his mouth, and pointed to the tip of his nose:
"No, sister, how do you think that guy Xu Changge will give me something? How can I be beaten?"
"Dare he?"
Lou Ji raised her eyebrows, and then said softly to Xu Yuan: "Sister, go with you, if he dares to beat you, sister will help you."
Xu Yuan glanced at her, unmoved at all:
"Heh, how do I remember that when he hung me up and smoked, the one who smiled the happiest seemed to be you, sister?"
Impossible, absolutely impossible, he, Xu Yuan, had been greedy for that day for a long, long time.
want to? nonexistent.
Lou Ji looked at Xu Yuan pitifully: "My sister really won't do it anymore"
"Let's talk about it later."
Xu Yuan waved his hand to interrupt, dragged the words, but suddenly seemed to think of something, and immediately brought the topic back in a low voice:
"So father is planning to cooperate with the emperor on this matter?"
Lou Ji knew that there was nothing to do, so she snorted coldly, sat on the chair opposite, and put her slender legs on the desk with a bang, and reminded angrily:
"Changtian, although there is a gap between the Xiangguo Mansion and the royal family, it is more about cooperation. If the royal family and our Xiangguo Mansion are completely opposed, unless there is a big change in the world in the future, the entire Great Yan can only be controlled step by step by those sects." Suck blood to death, and finally split back to the sect world ten thousand years ago."
Hearing this reminder, Xu Yuan stared at those slender white jade legs, feeling a little dumbfounded.
Of course he understands this.
Through the cooperation of Xu Yinhe and the emperor, the two strong men from heaven, the combined strength of the royal family and Xiangguofu is probably the closest that Dayan Guozuo was to the world sect in 1300 years.
It is certainly impossible for the same-roaming civil war to occur first.
There are so many world lines in Cangyuan. During the turmoil until the middle stage, the royal family and the Xiangguo Mansion have always stood together in the early stage.
He asked the question just now because if the Xiangguo government intervened to make a rescue at this time, the barbarians would most likely send it directly.
This is not in line with the subsequent plot development at all. The barbarians have a low sense of presence in Cangyuan because there is no heroine, but they are more or less present in every line.
Now the barbarians are directly exterminated, and the entire subsequent plot line will be messed up.
In other words, in Cangyuan, the father probably did not choose to cooperate with the royal family on this matter.
There must be something hidden in it.
Is it because of his existence?
Because the father felt that he had a new heir, he temporarily changed his choice?
There is also the so-called Nine Princesses Wu Yuan, who has never appeared in Cangyuan. It is estimated that he died in the war with the barbarians with a high probability.
Thinking about these things, Xu Yuan's thoughts began to gradually diverge.
"Long Sky."
"Long day."
"Long Sky!"
Lou Ji's voice suddenly called Xu Yuan back from his thoughts. She curled her lips and asked:
"What were you thinking just now?"
Xu Yuan came back to his senses and said with a smile:
"It's nothing, I'm thinking about my father's choice."
Lou Ji looked suspicious, but she didn't ask any more questions, just asked the question:
"Changtian, are you going to go to the northern border with me now, or go directly to the Imperial Capital?"
