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 Beijun to destroy our Sirius King. 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 Tianlang King tribe than you do. What do you think I need to find out from you?"

Hearing Lu Chen's words, Xiao Pengtian's mind instantly emerged with the figure of a person.

At first, he didn't think it was a big deal, thinking that Wu Yuan was just hiding money secretly, but now he basically understood what was going on.

The false information they collected about the North King basically came from Wu Yuan's caravan, which led to their serious misjudgment of Beijun.

If they knew that Beijun had about 50,000 heavy cavalry, they would never dare to rush to Yancheng so directly. Even if there was no mysterious weapon that could explode, these 50,000 heavy cavalry would be enough to confront their 300,000 troops head-on.

In this case, even if they conquered Beijun, their Tianlang King tribe would suffer heavy losses. Although they wanted the land of Beijun, they would never make such a big sacrifice for a piece of land.

Xiao Pengtian chuckled and said, "Could it be that the King of the North came to see my miserable state on purpose to cheer himself up?"

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

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

Xiao Pengtian frowned.

"Deal? What deal?"

Lu Chen asked directly, "Do you want to be the Heavenly Wolf 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 Heavenly Wolf King tribe in order to survive? Ridiculous! As a warrior of the barbarians, I will only die standing, not live on my knees!"

Lu Chen was not surprised at Xiao Pengtian's answer. He said lightly, "It is indeed easier to want to die, but have you ever thought about what will happen to the 100,000 barbarian captives if you die, and what will happen to your wife and children in the Heavenly Wolf King tribe?"

"If the Heavenly Wolf King tribe loses these 100,000 barbarian men, I am afraid that only some old, weak, sick and disabled people will be left. Ten years later, it is hard to say whether the Heavenly Wolf 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 dead, there would really be no men left in the Tianlang King Tribe.

Although they had assembled 300,000 barbarian troops, it seemed a lot, but in fact, except for the few soldiers of the Northern Xian King, their Tianlang King Tribe had called almost all the barbarian men who could fight, and only then did they gather 300,000 troops.

They went south this time, which could be said to be a gamble. In the eyes of the people of the Tianlang King Tribe, if they took over Beijun, according to the princess's idea, their tribe would no longer have to live by water and grass in the future. They would have endless food and would no longer be afraid of starving and freezing.

So almost everyone was very active in going south.

Originally, they thought that with the aristocratic families of Daxia and the Eighth Prince to contain the court, it would be an easy thing for them to take over Beijun, but they didn't expect the result to be like this now.

And without men, the Tianlang King Tribe would probably have a harder time this winter.

The North is very large, and there is more than one Tianlang King Tribe in the North.

Without men, other tribes will inevitably plunder the Tianlang King Tribe in winter.

Especially the tribe of the Northern Xian King.

The Northern Xian King did not follow them south because he was old, and he is still alive now.

The Northern Xian King has always coveted Xiao Wenyao's beauty. If he knew that the 300,000 troops of the Tianlang King were gone, he would probably take the soldiers of the Northern Xian Tribe directly to the Tianlang King's court.

At that time, not to mention Xiao Wenyao, I'm afraid even the princess will be captured by the Northern Xian King.

If the Tianlang King Tribe doesn't even have a princess, then the Tianlang King Tribe is really finished.

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

After a while, Xiao Pengtian asked, "If I agree to cooperate with you, will you release the 100,000 barbarian soldiers?"

Lu Chen immediately said, "This is impossible."

Xiao Pengtian sneered and said, "Why did the King of the North tell me this? Are you making fun of me?"

Lu Chen continued, "This king does not intend to release the 100,000 captives, but this king can move the entire Tianlang King tribe to Beijun, and if there are any good performances among these 100,000 captives, the King of the North can allow them to reunite with their families."

Hearing this, Xiao Pengtian was stunned.

What is the biggest purpose of the Tianlang King tribe to attack Beijun this time?

Isn't it just to occupy the land of Beijun.

To move to Beijun to settle down.

If what the King of the North said is true, if he really thinks so, then Xiao Pengtian will not feel anything even if he cooperates with the King of the North and becomes a traitor of the Tianlang King tribe.

It's better than them starving to death or freezing to death on the grassland and being robbed by the King of the North Xian.

Xiao Pengtian asked: "How can I tell that you are not trying to attract the Heavenly Wolf King's tribe to Beijun, and then wipe them out at one stroke, eradicate the roots, and kill them all?"

"You Daxia people seem to like to do things like eradicating the roots the most."

Lu Chen also guessed that Xiao Pengtian would have such concerns, 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 royal court. General Xiao should have heard of Wu Yuan, right?"

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

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

Xiao Pengtian fell silent and stopped talking.

Seeing that he had almost finished speaking, Lu Chen turned around and said: "General Xiao, you can think about it again. I still have plenty of time. When you think it through, let me know. In addition, I remind General Xiao that winter is coming soon and your tribe doesn't have much time left."

After the voice fell, Lu Chen turned around and left the cell.

...

At the same time.

In the north, the court of the Heavenly Wolf 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 is not as comfortable as the beds of the people in Daxia."

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

Just then, Xiao Wenyao lifted the curtain of the tent, came in and said, "Princess, do you have any news about my father and others?"

Xiao Wenyao was already planning how to escape to Daxia. As long as Beijun was conquered, she would go to Daxia immediately and never return to the north again.

She was ready to endure hardships in Daxia, even if she had to endure hardships in Daxia, she was unwilling to marry the old man who never took a bath in his life, the King of Northern Xian.

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

Yelü Nanyan remembered their deal with the Eighth Prince. In order to prevent the rebellion of the noble families in Daxia, Emperor Xia would not send too many soldiers to the north. In this way, the 300,000 troops led by the Heavenly Wolf King would easily conquer the entire Beijun.

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

"Princess, something bad has happened!!!"

After the voice fell, Wu Yuan, with disheveled hair, entered the tent and knelt on the ground, crying and shouting: "Princess, the sky has fallen!!!"

Seeing Wu Yuan like this, Yelu Nanyan immediately had a bad premonition. She frowned and asked hurriedly: "Wu Yuan, what happened?"

Wu Yuan was in tears and reported in a crying voice: "Our caravan was originally planning to go to Yancheng to receive the king's spoils, but we heard that the 300,000 troops led by the king had been defeated by the Northern King. The king died under the city of Yancheng, 200,000 soldiers were killed, and 100,000 soldiers had been captured by the Northern King!!!"

Hearing Wu Yuan's report, Yelu Nanyan and Xiao Wenyao suffered a huge shock. Their faces turned pale in an instant, without a trace of blood.

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