Rebirth of the best emperor

Chapter 780 Didn't You Have No Son
Cloud City.

There are joyful celebrations everywhere in the city. Yunzhong City, which is far to the west of Daqin, has received the news that Wang Mang has broken into Hancheng. Expansion of territory is the most exciting time for the people of a country in any era. .

Amidst such cheers, Wang Mang entered the mansion quietly. Feng Tang felt Wang Mang's aura the moment Wang Mang entered the mansion. After all, the general and the master's aura can be felt at close range. .

"I see Your Majesty, Long live Your Majesty!" Feng Tang waved away the crowd and kowtowed to the air in front of him.

Wang Mang's figure flashed out of the air, he stretched out his hand to help Feng Tang stand up from the ground, Wang Mang said, "How is Yunzhongcheng?"

"Since His Majesty retreated from the prairie, Yunzhong City is no different. The people's livelihood and economy in the city have also recovered rapidly with the supplement of resources allocated by the imperial court. Now the background of Yunzhong City has recovered to half of what it was before the war. The days can reach the level before the war." Feng Tang said: "After the impact of the previous war completely disappears, and Yunzhongcheng completely digests the resources obtained by our Qin State's victory over the grassland, the overall strength of Yunzhongcheng will be rapidly improved .”

"If there is another war, can Yunzhong City handle it?" Wang Mang said.

"Yes." Feng Tang said with certainty: "Your Majesty, although the people's livelihood and economy in Yunzhong City have only recovered half, but in terms of quality, it is dilapidated and welcomes the new. Now the new Yunzhong City has got rid of many backward things before. In terms of quality, although it is not as good as before the war, it is not far away."

"War preparations?" Wang Mang asked again.

"It's even better than before the war." Feng Tang said: "After all, the grassland suffered a big loss in Yunzhong City last time. They came back, so once the war was over, Yunzhong City first put all its manpower and material resources on the restoration of war equipment. For example, the city defense of this Yunzhong City has been completely rebuilt and reinforced according to the new drawings given by Cheng Bushi. The city defense is about [-]% higher than the level before the war. According to General Meng, it is already an impregnable wall. Unless it costs ten times the casualties, it will be difficult to break through Cloud City."

"What's the problem?" Wang Mang asked.

"Food." Feng Tang said: "Yunzhong City has always been short of food, especially this year after another war, the food shortage is extremely serious. Although I have spent a lot of energy on scheduling, the phenomenon of food shortage has never been alleviated. Yunzhong City is really not a place where food can be grown, and the food is mainly allocated by the imperial court, but the imperial court is also fighting, so there is really no way."

Wang Mang nodded. The land of the Qin State is barren, and it has always been barely self-sufficient in terms of food production. Most of the military rations are counted on the support of the countries in the Central Plains. Now that Qin State is fighting with Han and Zhao, it is impossible for the countries in the Central Plains to provide Qin State with food. , and the entire territory of South Korea was swept away by a big war. On the way Wang Mang left Hancheng to Qin, he saw many victims. It can be said that food is now seriously restraining Wang Mang's hands and feet.

After pondering for a while, Wang Mang decided to give Feng Tang some confidence, saying: "Don't worry about the food. I have arranged for people to attack Bashu before. Bashu is known as the land of abundance. It is said that seeds can grow food without any care. Take Bashu, and Qin will not be short of food in the future."

Feng Tang knew about Wang Mang's order to attack Bashu, and said, "How long will it take for Bashu to be defeated?"

"I was almost at the gate of Bashu before, but I had to stop because of the re-opening of the Hangu Pass battle. However, the Baidi City behind Bashu has surrendered to me, and Bashu is nothing to be afraid of." Wang Mang said: " I have already assigned Huo Qubing to take charge of this battle."

Feng Tang knew that it was Huo Qubing who made the move, so he knew that the matter was already settled, and said: "I don't know why Your Majesty is here?"

"The temple is abnormal. King Zuo Xian died in Yunzhongcheng, but no grassland people came to our Qin country to take revenge. I always feel that it is inappropriate, so I came here to have a look." Wang Mang said.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, but if there is anything wrong, I will report it to Your Majesty immediately." Feng Tang said quickly.

"I still want to see it with my own eyes." Wang Mang said, "What is Tiemu Town doing now?"

Feng Tang heard the name of Tiemu Town, his expression changed slightly, and he said: "After Tiemu Town got the Overlord Bow, he disappeared for a while now, and when he reappeared, his cultivation had reached the realm of transforming gods. He also followed a group of temple masters, whose cultivation base was not weaker than that of Xiantian, and many of them had reached the golden core. After the appearance of Tiemu Town, they quickly summoned the old department, and then squatted across the eastern grassland. In a short period of time, they had already occupied One-tenth of the Eastern Grassland, he is protected by the temple behind him, although his behavior has angered many people, but because of the temple, no one has killed him."

"How long do you think the great nobles on the Eastern Grassland can tolerate him?" Wang Mang said.

"I don't know how much the temple supports Temujin." Feng Tang said: "It's not that many big forces in the eastern grasslands can't check and balance Tiemu Town, but they have scruples because they can't figure out the situation of the temple, but Tiemu Town is now He has obtained one-tenth of the territory of the Eastern Grassland, if he continues to fight, even if there is a temple behind him, some people may not be able to resist."

"Can a new King Zuo Xian appear?" Wang Mang asked.

"One of the sons of Zuo Xianwang has received the support of Zuo Xianwang's tent, and has sent the roster to the temple, but the temple has not responded, and the eastern grassland is still unowned." Feng Tang said: "Your Majesty wants to take action against Tiemu Town. ?"

"Is it possible?" Wang Mang said.

Feng Tang shook his head and said: "No, I have seen Tiemu Town from afar before. On the surface, the strongest around Tiemu Town is only a cultivation level of God Transformation, but I found more than one of the gods in a hidden place. The breath of the environment, the temple has spent all its money to support Tiemu Town this time, so it is difficult to judge whether there are higher-level masters guarding the way for Tiemu Town."

"Where is King Youxian? This man is very ambitious. He wants to annex King Zuoxian and become the most powerful overlord of the grassland. Faced with the momentum that Tiemu Town is about to dominate the eastern grassland, doesn't he have other ideas?" Wang Mang said .

"It's useless for him to have ideas." Feng Tang smiled.

"How to say?" Wang Mang said.

"People are locked up by the temple." Feng Tang said: "It can't be said that it's closed. King Youxian didn't leave the eastern grassland at the beginning after he escaped from the battlefield of Yunzhong City. It seems that he was trying to do something in the eastern grassland. Right now, the temple directly took him away, and now he has nothing to own."

"The temple can't arrest people for no reason, right?" Wang Mang frowned.

"Say he is disrespectful to the Mother God." Feng Tang shook his head and said: "This is a typical crime of wanting to commit crimes. There is no reason to worry about it. There are many people who are disrespectful to the Mother God in the entire grassland, so there must be some Youxian Kings. He He didn’t dare to swear in front of the mother god, so he had no choice but to be kept locked up by the temple. Anyway, this crime will not allow King Youxian to take any chances. This time, the temple is determined to support Tiemu Town to the throne.”

Wang Mang shook his head. King Youxian was also stupid. He knew that the temple was going to attack him, so he didn't run far away and honestly hid, but he was still wandering around in the eastern grassland. If King Youxian is released, the probability of throwing it to Tiemuzhen to kill him is relatively high.

Seeing that most of the questions Wang Mang asked here were about war, it seemed that he was planning to attack the grassland again. Then he asked about Tiemu Town, his mind turned, and he said, "Your Majesty is planning to attack Tiemu Town?"

Wang Mang nodded.

"Tiemu Town is now under the protection of the temple. On the grassland, the temple is almost invincible. Please think twice, Your Majesty." Feng Tang thought about it, and persuaded.

"I know, that's why I want to attack Tiemu Town." Wang Mang said: "The temple enjoys the supreme status on the grassland. Although I don't know how strong the temple is, I can imagine it just by looking at the strength of Jixia Academy. The strength of the temple, or the strength of the temple is likely to be stronger than Jixia Academy, what does this mean, do you know?"

Feng Tang shook his head. As soon as he came to this world, Wang Mang threw him into Yunzhong City. He asked himself that he knew the temple very well, but Wang Mang was his master, and sometimes it would not hurt to keep a low profile.

Wang Mang said: "Why does such a powerful temple support Tiemu Town? Don't you find this strange? Who is Tiemu Town, an inconspicuous boy from the Yuan tribe, why is he favored by the temple, and even the layout of the temple today? Is it to push Tiemu Town to the supremacy of the grassland? Is it just because Tiemu Town has a predestined relationship with Overlord Bow? I don’t believe it, there must be something strange in it.”

"So Your Majesty intends to trouble Tiemu Town and test the response of the temple, so as to find out the reason for the abnormality of the temple?" Feng Tang suddenly said.

"That's right." Wang Mang said, "The one who wins the overlord's bow wins the world. I used to think that the world refers to the grassland, but looking at it now, the world probably refers to the world."

"How is this possible? There has never been a thing in which the grassland people ruled the world." Feng Tang said in shock: "No matter how strong the temple is, it cannot be stronger than the cooperation of a group of holy sects in the Central Plains. Those holy gates can destroy everything after joining forces."

"That's why I'm so strange, and it's what I have to guard against." Wang Mang said, "It's impossible for the grassland people to know that it's almost impossible for them to dominate the world, but they still seem to be working hard in this direction. The most strange place is also the place I have to figure out."

After a pause, Wang Mang looked outside the door and said: "This is Yunzhong City. As long as they attack here, the prairie cavalry can drive straight into the hinterland of Qin State, and then go all the way east from Hangu Pass, almost pushing the Central Plains countries outside the pass. Therefore, if The grassland really has the heart to be king and hegemony, and my country, Qin, will be the first line of defense against the grassland."

"There is also the country of Zhao, which also borders on the grassland." Feng Tang said.

"No." Wang Mang shook his head and said, "Whether it's the countries or the grasslands, I have never treated my country, Qin, as a powerful country."

Feng Tang immediately understood, because in the eyes of the big powers, Qin State is the weakest. Even if Qin State won the battle in Yunzhongcheng, the grassland has never regarded Qin State as an equal opponent. Once the grassland people go east, they will almost certainly attack Qin State On the one hand, they can send troops for the reason of avenging King Youxian, and on the other hand, they also feel that Qin State is easy to attack, and Yunzhong City, which is the most northwest of Qin State, will definitely become the bridgehead for Qin State to resist the invasion of the grassland.

Feng Tang looked at Wang Mang and whispered, "Your Majesty wants to strike first?"

"I have this idea, but it depends on the movement of the grassland." Wang Mang said: "I have some ideas, I don't know if it will work."

"Your Majesty is wise, the idea must be feasible." Feng Tang said.

"Stop flattering, I don't care about this, you and I go to find Meng Tian, ​​this matter cannot be separated from him." Wang Mang said.

In Dingbei City, the scale of the military camp has expanded a lot, and one area has been specially designated to detain the Korean soldiers transported from the Korean battlefield. It was originally intended to sell the Koreans to the grasslands, but I did not expect that South Korea would be wiped out in a short time. In the hands of the Qin State, the Koreans are also Qin people now, and it is not appropriate to sell these people to the grassland, so they are all imprisoned here.

When Meng Tian got the news of Feng Tang's visit, he was a little puzzled, but he hurried back from the barracks. As soon as he entered the room, he found Wang Mang with his back facing him. It's too dangerous to come here."

"It's okay, I'm very safe." Wang Mang said, with his current strength, under the ever-changing operation of the gods, almost no one below the saint can catch up with him, and even ordinary saints can't catch up with him, so it's safe Shang Wang Mang is very confident.

Meng Tian knew that this master was mysterious, so it was inconvenient to persuade him, so he said: "Your Majesty must have something to tell me, I wonder what His Majesty wants me to do?"

Wang Mang glanced at Feng Tang, Feng Tang said: "Your Majesty wants to know the situation on the grassland, and intends to attack the grassland."

Meng Tian glanced at Feng Tang, pondered in his heart for a while, and guessed that Wang Mang might have gotten through with Feng Tang on this matter before. From this, it can be seen that Feng Tang is more trusted by Wang Mang than he is, and he doesn't know what Feng Tang is. Where did it come from? I had never heard of this person's name before.

However, Meng Tian understood Feng Tang's meaning. Meng Tian frowned slightly and said, "Your Majesty, Yunzhong City is now in a state of ruins, and although there are some turmoil in the grassland, overall speaking, the eastern grassland is not in chaos. There is no opportunity to take advantage of, now is really not a good time to use troops on the grassland, please think twice, Your Majesty."

Wang Mang looked at Meng Tian and said, "I heard that Tiemu Town has led troops to occupy one-tenth of the territory of the eastern grassland, and several big families in the grassland have also embraced their own troops. Isn't this a big mess?"

"No." Meng Tian shook his head and said, "Anyone with a discerning eye knows that the temple has corrupted King Zuo Xian's tent, and King Zuo Xian's big tent naturally knew it too. Bian immediately supported King Zuoxian's son as the leader and reported to the temple, and promptly controlled the influence of King Zuoxian's death in Yunzhongcheng. Now King Zuoxian's tent still controls almost half of the eastern grassland. , as long as King Zuoxian's tent remains in chaos, the eastern grasslands will not be in chaos in a short time."

"Didn't you say that King Zuo Xian has no son?" Wang Mang said.
