Chapter 217: Crossing Hebei

The Xuanzheng Hall of the Dalu Palace is roughly the same as the Council Hall of the Southern Cyan Kingdom. It is where the Dalu King visits the ministers and follows the affairs of the affairs.

Therefore, the Xuanzheng Hall is among the twelve halls of the outer palace. The king Longhong goes most often every day, and it is also the palace closest to the inner palace, close to Huatianmen.

The construction area of ​​Xuanzheng Hall is the largest of the twelve outer palaces. The depth of north and south is about seventy meters, and the width of east and west is about one hundred and twenty meters.

The overall building area of ​​Xuanzheng Hall is so wide that it is a large palace that can accommodate thousands of people.

The magnificent Xuanzheng Hall is built in an extremely majestic manner. The hall is composed of more than a hundred huge stone pillars carved with flying dragon patterns, supporting this huge palace.

At this moment, in the huge palace, except for some daily guards of the imperial guards, there were only the king Longhong, the commander of the imperial guards, Wei Feng, and General Zhennan, Yu Zhuo, who was kneeling on the ground.

"General Yu, the weather is cold and the earth is cold. Don't hurt your body. Get up and reply quickly."

The king Longhong, who was sitting on the throne of Huang Cancan's gilded dragon chaise, suddenly raised his right hand slightly and said to Yu Zhuo, General Nan of Dalu Town, without any haste.

"Thank you, Lord, Long!"

General Yu Zhuo bowed to Long Hong, then slowly stood up, stayed there, stood silently.

The king Longhong glanced at a scroll in his hand, couldn't help but smile, then slowly lowered the scroll and moved his eyes to General Zhennan Yu Zhuo again.

"I have read all the books submitted by General Yu. The Cyan Kingdom in the south recently built a large-scale construction along the Buhe River. They have continuously recruited craftsmen from all over the country of Cyan Kingdom.

The country of Cyan is so busy with people and money, it is simply to build fortifications south of Buhe to stop our Dalu’s southern invasion. General Yu doesn’t have to make a fuss.”

"yes!"

General Yu Zhuo bowed to Long Hong, responded, and then bowed his head silently.

...

More than ten days ago, General Yu Zhuo, who was guarding the southern border of Dakan, suddenly received information.

Along the south bank of Buhe, countless craftsmen and Lifu suddenly emerged overnight.

As the general of Zhennan, Yu Zhuo immediately arranged for a spy to sneak to the south of Buhe to inquire, and he personally planned to write a memorial to someone to take it to the imperial capital.

Later, the spy reported that the south of the Buhe River was not only rushing to build giant watchtowers, but also several shipyards were also building, which was in a big way to build warships.

The soldiers of the Iron Kingdom, who were originally guarding the south of the Buhe River, suddenly got up early and worked hard every day, and even set up multiple floating platforms on the surface of the Buhe River. I don’t know what the purpose is.

After Yu Zhuo learned of the secret report, he was uneasy. He couldn't help frowning and thought to himself: "Does the country of Chiang mobilizes so much? Is it possible that he wants to spread the whole country's strength to cross the river and attack my Dalu?"

When Yu Zhuo, as the general of Zhennan, felt a little restless when he thought that the Cyan Kingdom might have to cross the Hebei Expedition.

...

The Cyan Kingdom south of the Buhe River has only been established for hundreds of years. If we only look at national strength, the Cyan Kingdom is naturally not as good as the Dalu Empire north of the Buhe River.

After all, Dahu has been established for a long time, not only has the strong national strength, but the national foundation is as stable as Mount Tai. Now it unifies a large area of ​​territory in Buhebei.

Therefore, for thousands of years, the north of Dalu Xiongbabu River has remained unmoved.

In order to expand its territory, Dalu destroyed countless rebellious races of all sizes north of Buhe, directly pushing the territory of the empire to the foggy swamp in the northwest and the unknown glacier plains of the Arctic.

The foggy swamp in the northwest and the unknown glacier plains of the Arctic, although the area is vast and boundless, are hard to reach and have been occupied by primates since ancient times.

Da Ku had no intention of invading these two forbidden areas, which ended the pace of northbound invasion.

As for the east side of Dahu, it is the forbidden area on the east side that everyone is afraid of talking about. There will be danger of earth moving, mountains and volcano erupting at any time, and human struggles are useless, so Dahu naturally does not dare to invade this forbidden area on the east side.

As for the deserted land in the west, it has been occupied by the orcs for hundreds of years. Due to the special geographical location of the deserted land in the northwest and the orcs are not good at all, Da Ku had no intention.

Although there are large areas of property resources outside the Northeast Pass, they are occupied by the giant clan and several other small races.

The relationship between these races living outside the Northeast Pass is extremely harmonious. Whenever the Dalu invades, the giants will join forces with these small races to resist together.

If these small races living in the Northeast fight alone, they are naturally not the opponents of Da Ku.

However, as long as these inconspicuous small races join forces with the giants, their combat effectiveness will be extremely terrifying.

Dahu's ace powerhouse has come out of the customs several times, trying to invade this fertile land outside the customs, but none of them returned in disgrace.

There were even one or two times when the Dahu Powerful Army who came out of seclusion was almost wiped out and returned.

The complex terrain outside the Northeast Pass is not conducive to large-scale combat.

Even though Dahu had millions of powerful troops, as long as it left the pass, the army would have to squeeze in a narrow passage and let the giants ravage it, just like cutting leeks, and could kill several people with a wave of hand.

Therefore, the eighteenth Army of the Dahu, which had always been domineering north of Buhe, suffered a lot outside the Northeast Pass, and even lost many geniuses with considerable cultivation.

The helpless Dahu Empire finally had to stop outside the Northeast Pass.

The giants and several other small races have occupied the fertile land outside the Northeast Pass for hundreds of years and are not invaded by each other.

Dahu is north of Buhe, and there is no more invasive place. So in the past hundred years, Dahu has turned his invading eyes to the south of Buhe.

However, although the Cyan Kingdom south of Buhe was established for only a few hundred years, it has produced many capable ministers and generals.

What’s more important is that every time the Chiang Kingdom faces the tiger and wolf army of Dalu, the resistance between the military and civilians will be extremely high.

It is precisely because of this that every time Dahu's ace powerhouse crosses the Buhe River, it will encounter tenacious resistance from the northern border defense army of the Cyan Kingdom, and Dahu will eventually be defeated.

In recent decades, the border defense power of the northern border of the Cyan Kingdom has been at its peak.

The northern border defense of the Cyan Kingdom has built dozens of passes, and two additional armies have been sent. The defenders along the Northern Defense are in full swing, and now there are at least hundreds of thousands of people.

Although Dahu's ace powerhouse still often invades south of Buhe, he never dared to go deeper again. Every time he crossed the river and landed, he fought with the defenders of the northern border of the Chiang Kingdom for several rounds, Dahu's invading army saw that the situation was not good, so he consciously retreated to the north of Buhe.

Nowadays, the national strength of the Kingdom of Cyan has become stronger and stronger over the hundreds of years of precipitation, and has unknowingly reached the point of confrontation with Dalu. Therefore, the Kingdom of Cyan is no longer afraid of Dalu's large-scale invasion of the South.

However, the grand plan of Dahu invasion of the south has never changed.

In order to expand the country's territory to the south of Buhe, Dahu used all the best. So he thought of using external forces to slowly plan it.

A few months ago, Die Lian, the high priest of the Dalu Empire, suddenly calculated through the priest's ability to predict the fortune-telling power of the northwestern border of the Chiang Kingdom, which had a sign of a divine weapon descending from heaven - the legendary Blood Blade of Demon-killing Demons.

After learning the news of the day that the high priest Die Lian predicted, the king Longhong was extremely excited. He looked up at the sky in the imperial study room that day and laughed loudly: "The pen from heaven helps me!

It seems that the ambitions of all the ancestors and ancestors will be realized in my hands."

Therefore, in order to seize the divine weapons and blades from the sky near the northwestern border of the Cyan Kingdom, Dahu dispatched an elite army of the 18 armies of the five directions - the 100,000 wolf cavalry and golden armor, and sent several great figures from Dahu at the peak.

After Dahu obtained the sharp sword of divine weapons and blades from the sky, Dahu's army, which was so powerful, did not dare to stay for a long time, and quickly withdrew from the territory of the Cyan Kingdom.

The purpose is to avoid having a head-on confrontation with the country of cyanide, which will lead to one side of its own, which will also encounter immeasurable losses.

...

The Cyan Kingdom, which has always been mainly defense south of the Buhe River, is now building a large-scale construction on the south bank of the Buhe River, training troops day and night, and purchasing a large amount of wood to prepare for the construction of warships.

Could it be that the country of Cyan, which has always been tolerant, wants to advance but not retreat?

All the signs in front of you indicate that the Cyan Kingdom had plans to cross the Buhe River and start the Northern Expedition?

As the general of Dalu Town, Yu Zhuo was shocked when he learned the secret report and couldn't help but sweat for himself.

Since the Cyan Kingdom in the south never crossed the Buhe River, the Zhennan defenders in Dahu were useless.

Today, even if the Zhennan Army adds all the logistics and all the civilian personnel in the army, the Zhennan Army in Dahu is only tens of thousands of people.

On weekdays, the Zhennan Army, which was bored on the north bank of Buhe, would select a small part of them with Yu Zhuo's permission, and occasionally cross the Buhe River to harass the Cyan Army on the south bank of Buhe River, and then hurriedly return.

The garrison of the Cyan Kingdom, who had had enough of the jokes of the Southern Army in Dalu Town, would never give up the tens of thousands of Zhennan Army led by him.

If you can't say it, you will massacre and destroy the Zhennan Army in Yu Zhuo's hands!

As the general of Zhennan, Yu Zhuo suddenly realized that something was wrong when he thought about this, so he personally brought the memorial he wrote and hurried to the imperial capital to meet the king Longhong.

...

After seeing that King Long Hong looked at his memorial, he was not surprised by the actions of the Cyan Kingdom. He just said a few words to make excuses Yu Zhuo.

The meaning of words even slightly sarcastic meaning of Yu Zhuo's fuss.

After Yu Zhuo bowed his hand to Long Hong, he immediately stood there like a wooden stake, his head hanging down and his face was extremely ugly.

After hesitating for a while, Yu Zhuo, as the general of Zhennan, couldn't help but muster up the courage and bowed to the king Long Hong again, saying, "Report to the king, according to the secret spies, hundreds of thousands of northern defenders of the Cyan Kingdom are now setting up a floating platform on the water of the Buhe River, training their troops day and night.

The last general... the last general is worried that the country of cyan will cross the Buhe River and then attack the vast territory of our Dalu north of the Buhe River?"

"Spanning the Hebei Expedition?"

As soon as Yu Zhuo said this, King Long Hong exclaimed immediately and couldn't help but open his eyes wide.
