"In the past few days, I have used the Xia Kingdom's troops to gather the military power of various tribes, change the tribal military positions, and bring them under my command. However, I have also been paying attention to the war in Qi State. I am so worried!"

Tuoba Kui pursed his lips and looked at the halls bathed in the sun.

"The state of Qi has been destroyed. After hearing that the clan was dismissed, they were all killed."

After hearing this, his mother, the Queen Mother of Liang Kingdom, Zhao Xifeng, swayed, "Then...that..." Her voice stuttered, and she was a little choked. Tuoba Kui knew what she wanted to ask.

"My aunt, uncle, and cousin were thrown into the Xia Kingdom's military camp by the civil and military forces of the Qi Kingdom. I heard that they were taken to Yanjing of the Xia Kingdom."

Zhao Xifeng staggered, as if she had suddenly lost her energy, and leaned against the wall, covering her mouth and nose with low sobs. The Wei Kingdom was shattered, her family was gone, her biological brother was dead, and her only sister was gone again. After being captured and taken to Yanjing of the Xia Kingdom, I am afraid that I will never have the chance to meet him again in this life.

Thinking of this, the old woman lost her composure even more and burst into tears.

"Mother..."

Tuoba Kui turned his head and looked at the old woman who was hiding her face and crying, "Don't be sad, I will never let Liang Guo follow in the footsteps of Wei and Qi, and I will never let my mother and aunt be captured and taken to Xia Guo , let them be humiliated!"

"Your Majesty..." The old woman wiped her tears and forced out a smile: "Mother is not afraid of being taken away. Even then, I will never let the Xia people take me away and make you endure the humiliation!"

Tuoba Kui smiled and then raised his voice with unprecedented confidence.

"Don't worry, Queen Mother. I want to let the Xia army understand that the bones of the Emperor of Liang are harder to chew than those of Wei and Qi. Although my Liang is in a corner and not as vast as the land and resources of Wei, the people of all tribes are brave and good at fighting. Although these people are unruly and unruly. Untamed, when it comes to fighting, especially in the world of Daliang, who can compare with them!
  The civil servants in the DPRK and China worked together again, without the intrigues, buck-passing and trade-offs like those in Qi!
  Even if my beam is invaded by the Xia Kingdom's soldiers and horses, it is still full of vitality, there are still soldiers that can fight, and there are still loyal ministers running up and down for me.

This time the restructuring of each tribe has been supported by the leaders, and it has gone very smoothly. The Fushan and Kewa armies under my command have been fully equipped, and now only the Shesheng Army is left. "

Having said this, a confident smile appeared on Tuoba Kui's face, and he looked at the palace buildings outside the city wall again, "From now on, I will also have a strong army in my hands! I can fight with Xia Kingdom's soldiers and horses in the mountains. Better!
  Taking advantage of the favorable geographical location and people, no matter how many soldiers and horses he brings, I want him to understand that the Liang Kingdom is no better than Wei and Qi! "

Zhao Xifeng never imagined that her son could say these words so confidently.

But she was still a little worried.

"Your Majesty is confident and is happy for your mother. But with so many soldiers and horses from the Xia Kingdom coming to kill them, can they really be driven back? Then the Emperor of the Xia Kingdom destroyed the Qi Kingdom and came in from the east. Their soldiers and horses must be stronger than before. many."

"So what if there are more! Victory or defeat on the battlefield does not necessarily depend on the number of soldiers and horses! I rely on the terrain and the concerted efforts of all the tribes to give it a go and counterattack with all my strength. I want all of them to be buried there!"

He spoke slowly, his own blood burning with encouragement from these words, and the sun shone over and fell on his resolute and resolute face.

"When Liang Guo wins this battle, no one in the world will look down upon the northwest. My reform of the military system is only the first step. After winning this battle, the second step is to capture Meizhou, conquer the original land of Qi State, and call for The people of Qi State resist the tyranny of Xia State!"

Tuoba Kui was confident and slapped heavily on the wall.

Regardless of her status as the queen mother of a country, as far as mother and son were concerned, Zhao Xifeng felt proud when she saw her son having such great ambitions and seizing the opportunity of Xia Guo's troops entering the country to subdue the soldiers and horses of various tribes.

"Your Majesty has such great ambitions, I am very happy for my mother!"

Knowing that she couldn't help, she advised Tuoba Kui to take more rest and not to be exhausted when handling state affairs, and then left the city wall with the eunuchs and maids.

Tuoba Kui had no intention of leaving. He watched his mother being escorted off the city wall and returned to the harem in a phoenix sedan. The smile on his face gradually turned cold.

It wasn't that he had any objections to his mother, but that there was something unsaid in his heart.

That is, the Emperor of Xia State ordered Qi State's [-] troops to surrender as the vanguard and attack Daliang from the east. He was afraid that speaking out would make his mother worried, so he chose to conceal it.

The wind whimpered across the city wall. Tuoba Kui suddenly fluttered his sleeves and punched the wall. When he was a prince, he had been practicing martial arts since he was a child. This punch was struck with anger, and the bricks and stones of the wall were cracked. Open a gap.

"wild ambition!"

He gritted his teeth and let out a sound to vent his annoyance, "This is to unify the world. After destroying Qi, we will destroy Liang. Who will be next? Yue State? Wu State? At such a young age, you are so big Ambition!"

His fist pressed firmly against the wall, and then turned into his palm pressing on it. He stood there, looking at the wall tile powder scattered around his hand, his eyes slightly red.

"I will never lose to you, I want to prove that I am also a once-in-a-lifetime king!"

After venting his anger, he turned around and walked down the city wall, issuing orders as he walked. After sitting on the royal chariot, he said: "Go and call from Yasu Mountain in Dadu."

The accompanying old eunuch carefully wrote down every word the emperor said, and then summoned a young eunuch to rush out of the imperial city to spread the word.

After turning around, he accompanied Tuoba Kui back to the front palace and arrived at the Jingwu Hall. Tuoba Kui sat on the chair behind the long desk to handle government affairs, while the old eunuch stood beside him, waiting for the emperor's orders at any time.

"Daban, what do you think of this Yaixishan as a person?" Tuoba Kui lowered his head and asked softly while reviewing the memorial: "In the past few times I have met with him, I feel that this person is a man with great ideas, but he is fat. A little bit."

The old eunuch who was waiting on the side hesitated: "Your Majesty, I am a eunuch, so it is difficult to comment on your Majesty's civil and military skills."

Tuoba Kui still didn't raise his head. He looked at the memorial in his hand and said with a smile, "Just tell me if you ask me."

He paused here, raised his eyes, and continued in a calm tone: "As long as there are capable people, I will make great use of them. Just like the Emperor of Xia, only if there is a group of capable civil and military personnel around me, Only in this way can we do more things and attract more capable people to join me."

The old eunuch no longer hesitated at this time.

"Your Majesty, that slave said so."

"Tell me, tell me. I'm not a petty person like Kitamiya. I can't tolerate the opinions of others." Tuoba Kui put down the memorial, smiled gently, and looked at the old eunuch who grew up with him with a calm look.

"Your Majesty, I feel that this mountain pass like a hanging river is a bit too flattering. Although it has some abilities, I'm afraid it won't be of much use at all!"

After the eunuch finished speaking, he looked at the emperor cautiously, as if observing the emperor's expression. But Tuoba Kui burst out laughing: "You eunuch, you are jealous of the virtuous when you say this. This Yaixishan has more than just a little ability. He can stand out among the tribes. He does not rely on flattery and flattery. There is no real reason." With this ability, it is estimated that the bones have been swallowed by other tribes long ago.”

Just as the two of them were talking for a while, the eunuch who communicated outside whispered: "Your Majesty, Yaixun Mountain is here."

A moment later, Tuoba Kui's words were heard in the study: "Let Yaixunshan come in."

Among the many tribes in the Liang Kingdom, they rarely add official names in front of their surnames like other countries. Most of the time, they call each other by their first names to show respect.

In the study, Tuoba Kui put away the memorial, and the door opposite opened with a creak, and a middle-aged man with a round figure came in boldly. His hair was neatly tied in a bun, and there were a few small braids hanging on his shoulders. The figure who came in raised his hand and pressed it on his chest.

"Go to the Xunshan Mountain to pay homage to His Majesty!"

"No need to be polite." Tuoba Kui's face was solemn, showing the majesty of the emperor, "I want you to come here because I need you to do something with your Yiluohe Cavalry!"

Yaoshan raised his gaze, and there was a hint of emotion in his eyes, which quickly disappeared. His voice was bold.

"Your Majesty, just ask!"

"it is good!"

Tuoba Kui stood up suddenly, asked the eunuch beside him to take a map, spread it on the long desk, and waved to Yaoshan, asking him to come over and look at the map together.

"I want you to lead the cavalry north, cooperate with the remaining Fangdang tribe, and the two tribal cavalry, Feiting and Pochao, to bypass the Xia Kingdom's front army and sneak attack their rear formation!"

He clicked on the name of a city on the northwest map: Jimai City!

When Yaoshan saw Jimaicheng, his heart skipped a beat and he had a bad premonition.

"Your Majesty, go around the rear... Xia's Western Route Army cannot be defenseless."

"Don't worry, I am now very clear about the deployment of the Xia Kingdom's West Route Army. Their front army is storming Gudang Mountain. There are two tribes of soldiers and horses guarding there. At this moment, the rear array is where they store military supplies and receive wounded soldiers. Coupled with the acclimatization, the soldiers in the city don’t have much fighting spirit.”

Tuoba Kui's words were full of confidence.

"Jimai City is a small city. It's almost impossible for them to defend it!"

'Snapped! '

He slapped his palm on the map, his eyes blazing: "Can you capture this place?!"

Yaoshan nodded: "Leave it to me!"

After speaking, he straightened his chest, saluted the emperor, and strode out of the study.

As soon as the person left, the door was closed again, and the study became quiet. Tuoba Kui stood in front of the desk, thinking about planning a sneak attack on Jimai City and giving Xia Guo's West Route Army an unprepared blow, and he was very excited in his heart.

He clenched his fist and lightly hammered the corner of the table, his eyes haughty.

Xia Guo's West Route Army kept pushing forward and kept winning battles. In fact, he did it deliberately, just to make the opponent feel that Liang Guo's army was like a piece of loose sand.

Sure enough, their front army continued to advance, and the distance to the rear was getting longer and longer. This was the fighter he wanted.

The turning point is here. He has been planning secretly for so long, so there should be no problem. He thought so, and the more he thought about it, the more he became more and more complacent.

‘There must be no problem! ’

boom!
  His fist hit the table again.

……

Thousands of miles away from the north, the sun gradually sets in the west.

Guan Yu, who looked a little tired, came out of the wounded barracks, got on his horse and went to the military camp outside the city. A bonfire had been set up in the camp, and the flames spread out and shone on the soldiers who were roasting dry food.

Guan Yu and his son Guan Ping ran into the military camp. The soldiers around him stood up and looked at the commander's tent, then dismounted and walked straight inside.

"...Zhou Cang, are there any soldiers in the camp suffering from vomiting and diarrhea today?" Guan Yu entered the tent, took off his cloak and gave it to Guan Ping, then walked to the front seat and sat down.

The dark-skinned rough man on the side shook his head: "Not for today. Those who can bear it will not be acclimatized no matter what. Those who cannot bear it are already lying down in the city."

They have been brothers for decades. When there were no outsiders, Zhou Cang still seemed casual. He poured tea for Guan Yu and Guan Ping, sat aside and expressed his worries.

"Your Majesty, there have been more scouts from the Liang tribe around Jimai City recently, and the name of the city... I think it's a bit unlucky!"

Guan Ping on the opposite side also nodded. When he first heard the name of this city, he couldn't help but think of Maicheng back then. At that time, Zhou Cang died defending the city. He and his father broke through the encirclement and were captured and died on the way.

Now that I encounter a city name with the same words again, I feel a little uneasy.

"Ha ha!"

At the top of the table, the lights flickered, illuminating his maroon face. Guan Yu closed his eyes, took a sip of tea, and said with a chuckle: "The name of the place seems to be unfavorable to me, but how could I know that it is not my blessed place?"

Guan Yu opened his eyes and narrowed them slightly.
