Chapter 129 Princess, the sky is falling! ! !

After a while, Mu Changtian and Qin Yushan in the study came to their senses. Both of them were shocked by Lu Chen's ambition.

However, Qin Yushan soon calmed down. After all, in his eyes, Lu Chen was the son of destiny and would one day unify the entire continent.

But Mu Changtian was different. Although he had thought that Lu Chen's ambition was to unify the world, the world he thought did not include the North.

Even the barbarians don't know how big the Northland is, and Lu Chen actually wants to add the Northland to his fiefdom.

If Lu Chen really did this, the land area owned by Lu Chen would be larger than all the land in Daxia combined except Beijun.

If a vassal king owns more land than an emperor, can he still be a vassal king?

Of course, this is not the key. The key is whether you can actually own the Northland.

If you just draw a circle on the map and say that the North belongs to the Northern King, that will definitely not work.

The barbarians won't recognize your map.

Mu Changtian asked tentatively at this time: "My lord, if you plan to designate the Northland as your fiefdom, how will you prevent barbarian invasion?"

"Do you plan to build the Great Wall in the North?"

Lu Chen asked back: "Barbarians? What barbarians?"

Hearing Lu Chen's rhetorical question, Mu Changtian suddenly felt like he couldn't turn around.

There are several barbarian tribes in the North, and it’s not like the Northern King doesn’t know about it, and the Heavenly Wolf King’s royal court is also in the North. The Northern King actually asked him what kind of barbarian tribe they are?

Lu Chen continued at this time: "Wherever there are barbarians, they are all my king's subjects."

this……

Lu Chen glanced at the map of the Northland and continued: "No matter how gorgeous and strong the Great Wall is, it cannot withstand the enemies within."

"The Great Wall that I want to build is not the external Great Wall, but the Great Wall in my heart. It is the Great Wall that is built in the heart of the enemy. One day, I will make the enemy retreat unconsciously when they think that the king's fiefdom is ahead. , dare not take a step."

Hearing Lu Chen's words, Mu Changtian and Qin Yushan were startled.

Lu Chen has a strong desire for the land in the North. Not to mention that the North can be used as a livestock farm to raise horses, cattle and sheep for them in Beijun. Such a large piece of land in the North must have rich resources. H.

Such as coal, oil, various metal mineral deposits.

These things may not be used or discovered now, but the bigger the place, the more things he will likely have, and he will need these resources sooner or later.

The key is that there are only barbarians in the Northland today, and the barbarians are not the masters of the Northland yet.

The Northland can be said to be a terra incognita.

Even the Dayue Dynasty did not classify the Northland as their territory.

Lu Chen thought that the system had reminded him that as the number of children he gave birth to increased, the rewards he would receive would become richer and richer in the future.

Although there are many resources that cannot be explored and mined now, as the system provides him with more and more rewards, one day he will be able to find a way to mine those resources.

Anyway, in one sentence, the larger the territory, the more resources there may be. Let’s occupy the land first.

As for how to deal with the barbarians in the North, Lu Chen's idea was very simple.

Population is also a resource.

After a while, Mu Changtian came back to his senses from what Lu Chen just said.

He immediately clasped his fists and said: "Your Majesty has great ambitions. I am willing to be the sword in your hands. Wherever the sword points, the soldiers are directed. I am willing to build a Great Wall for your Majesty that the enemy can never climb!"

Lu Chen coughed and then said: "I have felt General Mu's loyalty. Let's get down to business."

Lu Chen immediately said to Qin Yushan: "Commander Qin, you lead the Jinyi Guards to continue collecting information about the Heavenly Wolf King's court, and you must always keep track of their movements."

Qin Yushan said: "Yes, Your Majesty."

Having said this, Lu Chen thought for a while and then said: "Let's go see Xiao Pengtian first. It just so happens that I have something to say to him."

Upon hearing this, Mu Changtian and Qin Yushan immediately led Lu Chen the way, and soon the three of them arrived at the prison where prisoners were held in Yancheng.

At this time, Xiao Pengtian was sitting on the ground with disheveled hair and a listless look. His power had been sealed by Jin Yiwei's medicine, and now he was just like an ordinary person.

The prison room where Xiao Pengtian was located was relatively clean, with a bed and quilt, and it was not at all as dirty as other cells.

After hearing the door opening, Xiao Pengtian noticed that someone was coming, so he raised his head and glanced at the people outside the cell.

Seeing that the person coming was a young man wearing a brocade robe and a python dragon robe, and his belt was made of white jade, Xiao Pengtian instantly guessed the identity of this person.

Xiao Pengtian smiled bitterly and said: "They say that King Bei is a yellow-mouthed brat, lustful and incompetent, and a person who is afraid of death. Unexpectedly, in the end, it was this yellow-mouthed brat who led tens of thousands of soldiers from Bei County to destroy our Sirius King. An army of 300,000 troops."

Lu Chen said: "In front of me, you said that I am a child with a yellow mouth. Aren't you afraid that I will kill you?"

Xiao Pengtian said nonchalantly: "What's the difference between me now and me dead?"

Xiao Pengtian thought that his skills had been abolished. He was now a useless person, and the 300,000 troops of the Sirius King's tribe had been destroyed by the Northern King. He now had no face to return to the Sirius King's tribe.

Xiao Pengtian continued to ask: "I wonder if King Bei specially came to see me in such a dirty place because he wants to ask something from my mouth?"

Lu Chen smiled faintly, and then said: "I may know more about your Sirius King tribe than you do. What do you think I need to find out from you?"

Hearing Lu Chen's words, a figure of a person instantly appeared in Xiao Pengtian's mind.

At first he didn't take it seriously, thinking that Wu Yuan was just hiding money secretly, but now he basically understands what's going on.

The erroneous information they collected about the North King basically came from Wu Yuan's caravan, which led them to seriously misjudge Beijun.

If they knew that there were about 50,000 heavy cavalry in Beijun, they would never dare to come to Yancheng so directly. Even without that mysterious explosive weapon, these 50,000 heavy cavalry would be enough to go head-to-head with their 300,000-strong army. Head-to-head.

In this case, even if they capture Beijun, their Sirius King tribe will suffer heavy losses. Although they want the land in Beijun, they will never make such a big sacrifice for a piece of land.

Xiao Pengtian laughed and said, "Did King Bei come here specifically to see my miserable condition to feel happy?"

Lu Chen said: "I don't have such a hobby."

"I am here to make a deal with you."

Xiao Pengtian frowned.

"Deal? What deal?"

Lu Chen asked directly: "Do you want to be the Sirius King?"

Hearing Lu Chen's question, Xiao Pengtian seemed to understand something, and then he sneered and said: "The King of the North thinks that I will betray the Sirius King tribe in order to survive? Ridiculous! As a warrior of the barbarian tribe, he can only die standing. I won’t give birth on my knees!”

Lu Chen was not surprised at all by Xiao Pengtian's answer. He said calmly: "It is indeed easier to die, but have you ever thought about what will happen to the 100,000 barbarian captives if you die? What to do with the wives and children of the king’s tribe?”

"If the Sirius King Tribe doesn't have these 100,000 barbarian men, I'm afraid there will only be some old, weak, sick and disabled people left. Ten years from now, it's hard to say whether the Sirius King Tribe will still exist."

Hearing this, Xiao Pengtian's mind trembled.

At this moment, familiar figures suddenly appeared in his mind.

If he and the 100,000 barbarian captives were all dead, there would really be no men left in the Sirius King tribe.

Although they have assembled an army of 300,000 barbarians, which looks like a lot, in fact, except for the few soldiers of King Beixian, their tribe of the Wolf King has summoned almost all the barbarian men who can fight. An army of 300,000 people was assembled.

Their trip south this time can be said to be a gamble. In the eyes of the people of the Sirius King's tribe, if they capture Beijun, according to the princess's idea, their tribe will no longer have to live for water and grass in the future, and they will be unable to eat. With enough food, we no longer have to worry about going hungry or freezing.

So almost everyone is particularly positive about going south.

I originally thought that with the aristocratic families of Daxia and the eighth prince restraining the imperial court, it would be easy for them to take over Beijun, but I didn't expect that the result would be like this.

And without men, the Sirius King tribe would probably have an even more difficult time this winter.

The Northland is huge, and there is more than just one Sirius King tribe in the Northland.

Without men, other tribes would surely loot the Sirius King tribe in winter.

Especially the tribe of King Beixian.

The King of North Xian did not follow them south because he was old. He is still alive now.

The King of Beixian has always coveted Xiao Wenyao's beauty. If he knew that the 300,000-strong army of the Heavenly Wolf King was gone, he would probably take the soldiers of the Beixian tribe directly to the Heavenly Wolf King's court.

By then, let alone Xiao Wenyao, I am afraid that even the princess will be captured by the King of Beixian.

If the Sirius King Tribe doesn't even have a princess, then the Wolf King Tribe will really be finished that day.

When he thought of this, the expression on Xiao Pengtian's face kept changing. Lu Chen could see that Xiao Pengtian was tangled and struggling in his heart.

After a while, Xiao Pengtian asked: "If I agree to cooperate with you, will you let go of those 100,000 barbarian soldiers?"

Lu Chen immediately said: "This is impossible."

Xiao Pengtian sneered and said, "Then why is King Bei telling me this? Are you trying to make fun of me?"

Lu Chen continued: "I really have no intention of releasing those 100,000 captives, but I can move the entire Sirius King tribe to Beijun, and if any of the 100,000 captives perform well, Beijun can The king can allow them to be reunited with their families.”

Hearing this, Xiao Pengtian was startled.

What is the biggest purpose of the Sirius King tribe's attack on Beijun this time?

Isn't it just to occupy this land in North County?

In order to move to North County and settle down.

If what Bei Wang said is true, if he really thinks so, then Xiao Pengtian will not feel anything wrong even if he cooperates with Bei Wang and becomes a traitor to the Sirius King tribe.

It was better than them starving to death on the grasslands and freezing to death, or being plundered by the King of North Xian.

Xiao Pengtian asked: "How can I judge that you are not trying to attract the Heavenly Wolf King tribe to Beijun, and then kill them all in one fell swoop?"

"What you Daxia people seem to like to do most is to eradicate the weeds."

Lu Chen also guessed that Xiao Pengtian would have such worries, so he said directly: "Even if you don't agree to cooperate with us, I can easily find the location of the Heavenly Wolf King's court. General Xiao should have heard about Wu Yuan, right?" ?”

Hearing this, Xiao Pengtian's face darkened and he said coldly: "He is indeed yours! If I had known, I should have chopped him with an axe!"

Lu Chen said: "General Xiao, don't you think it's meaningless to say this?"

Xiao Pengtian fell into silence and did not continue to speak.

Seeing that he had finished talking, Lu Chen turned around and said, "General Xiao, you can think about it carefully. I still have plenty of time. When you think about it clearly, I will let someone tell me. In addition, no matter how much I think, I would like to remind General Xiao that winter is coming soon and your tribe’s time is running out.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Chen turned around and left the cell.

…

at the same time.

In the north, the court of the Sirius King.

The beautiful woman Yelu Nanyan was half lying on the couch, looking very lazy. She sighed slightly and said, "Sure enough, even if there is a couch in the tent, it will not be as comfortable as the beds of Daxia people."

"Sigh, I don't know if the king has conquered Beijun."

At this moment, Xiao Wenyao opened the tent door and came in and said, "Princess, do you have any news about my father and the others?"

Xiao Wenyao was already planning how to escape to Daxia. As soon as Beijun was defeated, she would immediately go to Daxia and never return to Beiland again.

She was ready to endure hardships. Even if she endured hardships in Daxia, she was not willing to marry the bad old man of Beixian King who never took a shower in his life.

Yelu Nanyan replied: "There is no news yet, but it should be soon."

Yelu Nanyan thought of their deal with the Eighth Prince. In order to prevent the aristocratic families in Daxia from rebelling, Emperor Xia would not send too many soldiers northward. In this way, the 300,000 troops led by the Sirius King could easily capture the entire North County. .

At this moment, a man's voice suddenly came from outside the tent.

"Princess, something serious has happened!!!"

After the words fell, Wu Yuan with disheveled hair entered the tent, knelt on the ground, cried and said loudly: "Princess, the sky has fallen!!!"

Seeing Wu Yuan's appearance, Yelu Nanyan suddenly had a bad feeling. She frowned slightly and asked quickly: "Wu Yuan, what happened?"

Wu Yuan burst into tears and reported in a tearful tone: "Our caravan originally planned to go to Yancheng to receive the king's loot, but we heard that the 300,000 troops led by the king had been defeated by the King of the North. The king died in the battle at the gate of Yancheng. Twenty Ten thousand soldiers have been killed, and one hundred thousand soldiers have been captured by King Bei!!!"

After hearing Wu Yuan's report, Yelu Nanyan and Xiao Wenyao were greatly shocked. Their faces suddenly turned pale, without a trace of blood.

Yelu Nanyan fell down on the couch, her jade hands trembling uncontrollably, and murmured to herself: "How... how is it possible..."
