The Emperor is Above

Chapter 463 The entire Northern Wasteland is in chaos

"Old Man Shi, why are you so out of control?"

Qing Yi was very confused by the abnormal behavior of this dark and thin old man, "If it is really as Grand Master Xian Yu said, this is barely good news for the State of Xing, right?
The more powerful Yuezhi people and the foreign coalition forces chose to attack the Dai State. In the short term, we only need to deal with the Xianyu coalition forces in the border fortress.

Moreover, Dai and Xing are separated by mountains, rivers, and lakes. Even if Dai is completely destroyed, Xing will be attacked from both sides, which will give them at least a few more months to prepare. "

At this point Qing Yi suddenly noticed that Xing Zhongkang and Xing Shu had no doubts about Old Man Shi's misconduct. Their faces were also somewhat solemn, and it was obvious that something had happened that they didn't know about.

"Ugh--"

Old Man Shi sighed, turned around and shook his head slightly, saying, "Boy Yi, deep in the Yunling Mountains in the Dragon City, you probably don't know that the entire Northern Wasteland is in chaos.

Soon after the news that the border town was attacked by the 30,000-man army of Xian Yu reached the capital, the situation in the surrounding countries began to change dramatically. The threat facing Xing State now does not only come from the north. "

"Hmm? Is it the Black Wind Tribe or the Chong Kingdom?" Qing Yi thought for a moment and realized that currently, these two are the only two forces that have the ability to cause chaos in the entire Northern Wilderness.

The only one who has the ability to resist Old Man Shi, a powerful saint-level warrior, is the Black Wind Evil God's clone from the Black Wind Tribe. However, even if the surrounding countries unite, the Black Wind Tribe will not be able to cause any major trouble.

Old Man Shi interrupted Qing Yi's thoughts with a solemn tone: "There is not only the Black Wind Tribe, but also the Chong Kingdom. First, half a month ago, Chong Hou accused Liu Hou of ten major crimes on the grounds that Liu Hou was disrespectful to the new emperor, based on his status as a lord of the Northern Wilderness.

I thought that Chonghou was just scolding a few words to save the face he lost in Yanjin City last year, but unexpectedly, Chongguo launched a war of annihilation against Liuguo without any warning.

Twenty years ago, Chongguo had used other excuses to attack and destroy the princes of three surrounding small countries and connected several scattered enclaves together.

However, the three small countries that were destroyed back then were only small countries with a radius of several hundred miles. They were completely destroyed before the surrounding countries could react.

Liuguo was already a medium-sized vassal state with an area of ​​2,000 miles and over ten thousand soldiers. No one had expected that Chonghou would be so bold to launch an attack.

After all, Chongguo is the strongest of the seventy-six countries in the Northern Wilderness, with four first-grade grandmasters. The royal family officials and city defense doctors of the remaining countries fought desperately but still suffered heavy casualties. In half a month, 30% of the country fell."

As Old Man Shi spoke, his tone and expression gradually became angry, "While Chongguo was attacking Liuguo, the Black Wind Tribe also launched a strong assault on Luguo in the northeast.

Lu and Liu were both medium-sized vassal states, but in just half a month, the Black Wind Tribe seized 40% of their territories, leaving their people displaced and suffering tragedy everywhere.

The tribes of the wilderness people on the borders of various countries also rose up and joined the Black Wind Tribe. Five days ago, the chief priest of the Black Wind Tribe declared that he would establish a kingdom of God on earth again, and named it the Black Wind Kingdom of God. "

Now Qing Yi finally understood why Old Man Shi was so angry and rarely lost his composure in front of others, and why he forced himself to leave the stone room without letting Grand Master Xian Yu know.

It turned out that the beginning of the chaos in the world was actually started by Chongguo, who was also a vassal of the Dashen Dynasty, which also made Old Man Shi's intention completely fail.

The coalition forces of Xianyu, Yuezhi and other ethnic minorities marched south to threaten the entire Northern Wilderness. Old Man Shi originally planned to have Xing Zhongkang, in the name of Xing Hou, call on the 76 countries of the Northern Wilderness to unite and stop the million-strong coalition forces.

As long as each country sends out 10,000 soldiers, Xing and Dai will be able to successfully resist the attack of the foreign coalition forces by relying on the geographical advantages of Yunling and the two fortresses.

While blocking the large army here, we can also win the support of the Emperor of the Dashen Dynasty and the countries in Zhongzhou, and even have a chance to turn defeat into victory.

However, Chongguo, a vassal of the Northern Wilderness, ignored the overall situation of the Northern Wilderness and colluded with the Black Wind Tribe to attack neighboring vassal states and annex their territories, causing panic among the vassal states in the Northern Wilderness and making Old Man Shi's intentions fail completely.

It is impossible for any princes to believe in unity, let alone respond to Xing State to fight against foreign invasion. They want to mobilize all the people and recruit a large army to protect themselves or intend to annex other countries. As the second strongest country in the Northern Wilderness, Xing State could originally contain Chong State's reckless behavior, but now it is unable to do anything due to internal and external troubles and the unstable political situation after the new monarch took the throne.

"Chong Hou is called the Northern Wilderness Lord, but in reality he is the Northern Wilderness troublemaker!"

Qing Yi said with hatred and helplessness, "Lu and Liu are both south of Dai. They are on the verge of destruction, and Dai is even more isolated and helpless.

If the Yuezhi and the foreign coalition forces conquer the Dai Kingdom and then join forces with the Black Wind Tribe to attack the surrounding countries, the entire Northern Wilderness could fall. This bastard Chonghou should be skinned alive."

"We don't have the energy to care about Chong Hou now. Although the Ghost Witch tribe suffered heavy losses from you in Yanze, they are still a potential threat as they are separatist.

In addition, the Black Wind Tribe is rebuilding the Kingdom of God, and many tribes of the wilderness are ready to make a move. City guards in various places are calling for help, and the vassal and people in the country are in a state of panic. "

Old Man Shi's dark and thin face became more and more wrinkled, "The ones who are most worrying are Qi Xi, Zhonghang Huan, Chunyu Fen, and old boy Qianye.

Our predecessor suffered serious injuries during last year's winter sacrifice ceremony and has not recovered yet. Now he has unfortunately passed away. They have no intention of supporting a new emperor and each of them has ulterior motives.

The two children, Xing Boyun and Xing Shuan, were also restless. Especially the eldest son, Xing Boyun, was jumping around in the capital all day long, colluding with ministers and important officials of the royal family.

King Zhongkang was nearly poisoned several times. If Xing Shu had not provided a lot of money and property to help Zhongkang consolidate his authority in the palace, he would have lost his life long ago.

As soon as the battle report from the border town reached the capital, I was ready to rush to the northern border to deal with the war, but the unstable situation in the capital made it impossible to leave.

Finally, it was the news you asked Dazhu to bring that made it impossible for me to stay in the capital any longer, so I simply brought King Zhongkang with me to inspect the northern border.

It can not only protect his safety anytime and anywhere, but also allow the new monarch to personally inspect the territories, which is a good opportunity."

Of course, Mr. Shi’s purpose was not so simple. Qing Yi guessed it instantly. It also included the intention of allowing him to establish friendship with the new monarch.

As for bringing Xing Shu and Niu Niu together, apart from letting them serve as lubricants between himself and Xing Zhongkang, Old Man Shi also did not give up the idea of ​​marriage.

Qing Yi did not comment on this. After all, he was only sixteen years old and still far from turning twenty. More importantly, now that chaos had occurred, who would have the mood to talk about love?
After thinking for a while, Qing Yi couldn't help but shook his head and said, "Old Man Shi, although the etiquette system advocates brotherly love and respect for younger brothers, and harmony among the ministers, power confuses people's hearts.

The world situation now is like a violent storm, and the State of Xing is just a broken fishing boat swaying in the wind and tide of the river, but there are still people who insist on snatching the oars from the boatman.

At this time, we must be ruthless and make a decisive decision. We must eliminate these people as soon as possible, so that everyone on the ship can work together to overcome the difficulties. "

Anyway, the people causing rebellion in the court are not his own relatives, and the lord has no hesitation in raising the banner of "pacifying the country before resisting foreign aggression". A strong Xing State is beneficial to Qing Yi in such troubled times.

Xing Shu felt reluctant when he heard Qing Yi's suggestion, but he quickly became very firm and said, "Old Man Shi, what Doctor Yi Shang of Longcheng said makes sense. We can't continue to be indecisive."

"Alas, if you don't make a decision, you will suffer the consequences. There is nothing you can do now that things have come to this point!" The old man Shi's vicissitudes of life eyes also became extremely sharp.

"My family has been trusted and loved by Lord Xing for generations, and I wanted to preserve the bloodline of my ancestors, but now I have to make a decision for the sake of the country.

Xing Shu and Niuniu will stay in Longcheng for the time being. Zhongkang, you will return to the capital with me today. Even if we let the capital become a river of blood, it is far better than letting the capital fall again and hundreds of thousands of people die tragically."
