The Emperor is Above

Chapter 450 I was sold out by you and I still have to help you count the money

"I wonder why the Lord is angry?"

In response to the confusion of Gongsun Wu, San Yisheng and other retainers, Qing Yi waved the letter in his hand, suppressed his anger and patiently explained:
"Tens of thousands of Xianyu troops have invaded the border city's defense line. The war is so fierce that people are worried, but the city defender Bian Rang is still immersed in the great victory of the border city last year.

He is still complacent about the disastrous defeat and rout of Mo Chue, the younger brother of Prince Xianyu, last year. He is dismissive of the tens of thousands of invading troops and often takes credit for all the achievements in his words. But what does that battle have to do with him?

If Huo Yunyaqing had not led the elite troops of the three divisions as the main force, and if Old Man Shi, the first-class national master at the time, had not taken action, how could there have been a great victory in the border town?

In addition, although that battle caused the invading Xianyu army to lose nearly 100,000 people, the casualties were mainly tribal cavalry and ordinary herdsmen.

The elite cavalry directly under King Xianyu did not suffer many casualties. This great defeat did not damage the morale of the Xianyu tribe. Instead, everyone felt dissatisfied.

Since the beginning of spring this year, the Xianyu scouts have often been active around the border town. After spring and summer, when the vegetation is lush, the number of the Xianyu scouts has increased, and they even approached the border town at one point.

After a disastrous defeat last winter, Xian Yu is now heading south to invade again, and will certainly use all his strength to attack the border town. Unfortunately, Bian Rang is ambitious but incompetent, and underestimates the enemy. "

San Yisheng frowned slightly when he heard this and said, "The elite troops of the Third Division of the Capital suffered heavy losses, and it will be difficult to restore their previous combat effectiveness in half a year.

In addition, the capital had experienced twists and turns and losses in the Winter Festival Ceremony, and it would be difficult to send all of its forces north again to provide support. If there were only tens of thousands of Xianyu troops raiding, the northern border alone could still resist.

If this Xianyu army is just the vanguard, and there are other armies following behind, I am afraid that the border city will really be in danger this time. It is a pity that Shi Ludan and Tian Bin, the city guards, did not get more detailed information. "

Compared to San Yisheng's worries, Nan Guoshi smiled and bowed to Qing Yi, saying: "I would like to congratulate my lord. Congratulations, my lord, the time has come to control the northern border.

He was granted the title of senior official and vassal by the emperor, and was given the title of governor, a fake axe, and the position of commander-in-chief of the military affairs of the twelve cities in the northern border. However, the officials guarding the cities in the northern border turned a blind eye to him.

It's just that they feel they are too senior and unwilling to bow down before the Lord. Now that the Xianyu army has invaded, they can take this opportunity to eliminate the city guards and completely seize the military and political power of the twelve cities in the northern border."

"Mr. Nan Guo has said it!"

Qing Yi's tone was filled with a hint of warning, "My intention to control the northern border is to protect the people of this land, not just for power.

The invasion of Xianyu's army is indeed an opportunity, but once they break through the border defense line, the people of the Twelve Cities will still suffer heavy casualties, which is not what I want.

No matter when or where, conspiracies are shameful after all. Since I want to control the entire northern border, I must implement it with an open and aboveboard conspiracy.

Whether it was the king, the Marquis of Xing, the ministers in the court, or the twelve city guards, even though they knew my purpose, they could only acquiesce helplessly in the end. "

"My Lord, you are absolutely right!"

Gongsun Wu said with admiration, "The strength of Dragon City is improving with each passing day. It is time to conduct combat readiness training and let everyone see our true strength."

When everyone reached a consensus, the peaceful and stable life in Longcheng Fengtu was quickly broken, and this paradise hidden deep in the clouds was filled with the atmosphere of war.

More than 20,000 young and strong men who had been busy building their homes for half a year put down their farm tools, put on armor, picked up weapons and started practicing.

The Dragon City Guards, whose number had expanded to 20,000, were heard killing loudly every day. The exotic beasts and ferocious birds were also organized into separate teams by Qing Yi to serve as hunters and cavalry.

This huge movement made the two neighbors in the north and south of Longcheng unable to sit still. The Feixiong tribe and the Baihe tribe were frightened by the action of sealing the earth in Longcheng. Xiong Xin and He Qianxue even came to visit. After understanding the cause and effect of the matter, the two of them were relieved. This was just the continuation of the hundreds of years of war between the Xianyu tribe and the Xing Kingdom, and had nothing to do with the powerful and neutral Yunling.

After relaxing, standing on the large platform in front of the City Lord's Mansion on the ninth floor of Dragon City Fortress, the two once again looked at the vibrant Dragon City mound with envy and admiration.

In previous years, this place was just a deserted basin. Apart from occasionally coming here to fish or hunt, the two tribes would never even give it a second glance.

However, after the land was returned to Qingyi, in just four or five months, fifty villages were established in the basin, and nearly half of the flat land was reclaimed into lush farmland.

Wait a minute! Why is there spiritual energy in those fertile fields?
Xiong Xin and He Qianxue rubbed their eyes in disbelief and were shocked to find that Qing Yi had not boasted before. These must be crops such as spiritual rice and golden valley. Qing Yi then confirmed their guess.

He Qianxue glanced at Xiong Xin with her beautiful eyes, then turned to Qing Yi with a charming smile and said, "Since the senior doctor is worried about the Xianyu tribe in the north of Yunling, we from the Baihe tribe can help to gather information.

Of course, this is just private help between friends and neighbors, and does not represent a change in the neutral attitude of the entire Yunling. I will not admit this in front of the mountain master.

Besides, our hard work is not in vain. When the autumn harvest comes, I will trade more of the spiritual rice, golden grains, and spiritual potatoes in the Dragon City, and I will have priority in trading."

"We in the Flying Bear tribe are also willing to help!"

Xiong Xinjin always knew that He Qianxue was smart, so he expressed his opinion loudly for fear of being left behind.

However, the Baihe tribe is located at the northern foot of Yunling Mountain, close to the Xianyu tribe, so it is convenient for them to spy on information. However, the Feixiong tribe is located at the southern foot of Yunling Mountain, so it would be more difficult to obtain the same information from the Baihe tribe.

Xiong Xin, who always felt that his Feixiong tribe's territory was better than Baihe tribe's territory, envied He Qianxue for the first time. Just a little information could be exchanged for spiritual rice and golden grains that would promote cultivation.

Xiong Da, who was worried about the Feixiong tribe, was scratching his head and thinking hard. Suddenly, he had an idea: "Doctor, our Feixiong tribe is located in the south of Yunling Mountain, and we are not familiar with the situation in the north of Yunling Mountain.

But if you are ready to fight, our Feixiong tribe can also send some warriors to help you in private. As for the rewards, they will also be spiritual rice and gold grains. We are not greedy. "

"There is nothing wrong with the requests of Chief Crane and Chief Bear!"

Qing Yi almost couldn't help laughing out loud at this moment. He had been racking his brains for half a year on how to dig out the base of Shi Ling's wall. Now, before he had even swung the hoe a few times, the base of the wall had come over by itself.

Seeing He Qianxue was surprised and wanted to say something to Xiong Xin, Qing Yi quickly smiled and said to He Qianxue: "If Chief He sends his tribesmen to gather intelligence, it would be best if he could take my scouts with him.

After all, some terrain, local conditions, folk customs, and military situations can only be more accurately observed by professional scouts in person. Of course, I will have them disguise themselves as White Crane warriors."

Let Daniu call Gongsun Wu to organize people to follow He Qianxue. Qing Yi then took Xiong Xin's arm and said with a sincere smile:
“Chief Xiongxin is truly my good friend and good neighbor. Since you are planning to ask the warriors in your tribe to help you in the battle, I think it would be best if you lead the team yourself, which will help reduce casualties.

In addition, it is best for these warriors of the Flying Bear Tribe to come to the Dragon City as soon as possible. The sooner everyone gets familiar with each other, the better they can cooperate in battle. Don’t you think so? "

After sending He Qianxue and Xiong Xin away happily, Qing Yi kept smiling. He couldn't help but pinch his chin and thought:

"Does this count as cheating an honest person? As the old saying goes, if you use the hoe well, there is no corner that cannot be dug down."

But the big bull stared with his eyes wide open, scratching his head in a muffled voice: "Master, why do I feel like you sold them both and they have to help you count the money?"
