at this time.

On the northernmost side of the Putuo Mountain temple community, there is a courtyard with deep cypress trees.

A young man in a majestic and gorgeous dress had just had dinner, sat at a desk, looking through a book called "Estraight Map".

This person is the fourth prince of Donghan, commander of Donghan's "Zhongxiao Army". Wanyan Hongjie. He is about twenty-four or fickle. He has a high nose and a wide face, a tall figure, and is not handsome, but his atmosphere is rigorous and quite majestic.

Donghan and Nanyong are bounded by Qinling Mountains, Huaihe River and Dasan Pass, and are divided into north and south; to the north is the North Qi, which is eyeing covetously; to the north is the mighty Western Qiang; to the west are the Tubo tribes; to the south is Dali, to the south is Jiaozhi County, which is later Vietnam; to the east is the endless sea.

The Zhoushan Islands where Putuo Mountain is located are located in the blue sea to the east.

After the battle between Beiqi and Donghan, their vitality was severely damaged and they were no longer afraid;

Although the Western Qiang was in full swing, the population was sparse and the subsequent weakness was weak;

The Tubo tribes fought for years and were in a mess;

Dali has limited national strength and is a small country.

The Northern Qi, Western Qiang, Tubo tribes, and Dali are not afraid of it. Instead, the Southern Yong must be guarded against.

Looking at the geometric map in front of me, Nanyong lives in a corner of the south of the Yangtze River, bounded by the Qinling Mountains and south of the Huai River. There are many mountains, rivers and ravines, and this terrain is not conducive to the large-scale deep combat of the Donghan cavalry, so Donghan launched several attacks, but they all returned in vain.

Especially on the eve of the "Shaoxing Peace Agreement", the heavy cavalry "Tiefutu" and the light cavalry "Guizima" led by the famous general of Donghan Wanyan Jingbi went south in one fell swoop, preparing to annex Nanyong with the force of sweeping the world, and then to draw the Western Qiang, Tubo tribes, and Dali.

However, when I met Yuan Dingtian from Nanyong, I failed and returned in a defeat!

Yuan Dingtian was like a military god in Nanyong. Fortunately, there was a problem within Nanyong at that time, and Emperor Guangzong of Nanyong dealt with Yuan Dingtian on the charge of "false".

Wanyan Hongjie sipped the Buddha tea from Putuo Mountain, which gave people a cool and mellow feeling. Wanyan Hongjie couldn't help but sigh that the tea of ​​the Han people is indeed good, it's really:

"Before the root of the tongue is innocent, you can first understand the wonderful fragrance of the sage; wait until the skin is soaked and sweats slightly, and the femoral bones will be filled with wind and cool in June."

Although Buddha tea is good, Wanyan Hongjie was not interested in tasting tea at this time, his eyebrows were frowning, and a sense of worry surged into Wanyan Hongjie's heart:

"A few days ago, news came from the secret stakes of the Nanyong Dynasty that Emperor Ningzong planned to posthumously grant Yuan Dingtian and posthumous title. Is this a signal that the war-holding faction of the Nanyong Dynasty court rose?"

At this time, Nanyong "established the country behind the sea" and had no choice but to retreat. The land area was much smaller than that of the Beiyong period. It had a cramped space and a large population.

Nan Yong, who was forced to the dead end, instead, became more fighting spirit and worked hard to govern the farming economy, recovered, maritime trade was in full swing, and the court's finances were becoming increasingly abundant.

At this time, Nanyong had already emerged from the shadow of Beiyong's destruction. The country's economy was prosperous, the people were well fed and clothed, the country was prosperous, the country was prosperous, the people were strong, the equipment was fully decorated, and there was enough accumulation.

These are the results of decades of rest and recuperation.

Emperor Yong Kuo of the Southern Yong Ningzong was confident, so the court's war faction was able to rise up, which was normal.

Wanyan Hongjie is not only skilled in martial arts but also good at managing the military, but what is more rare is that he is meticulous, has strategy and good strategy. He is an all-round military and country-government talent.

Wanyan Hongjiesse conquers Beiqi and attacks Beiqi for several tough battles. He is famous and has made unparalleled military achievements. He is known as the most outstanding military genius in Donghan since Wanyan Jingbi.

At this time, Emperor Donghan Wanyan Zongxiong had a strong and broad spirit of looking down on the world. He wanted to compete with him and destroyed the ancestor Wanyan Sheng of Beiyong, and had planned to fight in the south for a long time.

Wanyan Zongxiong was preparing to relied on Donghan's powerful military power and Wanyan Hongjie's outstanding military talents to annex Nanyong in one fell swoop.

At this moment, Wanyan Hongjie's chief adviser, middle-aged Qu Wencheng, dressed in a gray robe dressed in a Confucian scholar, walked in.

"Report to the general that Long Qingyun has entered the courtyard where Huangfuyi is stationed."

Wanyan Hongjie couldn't help but be stunned, "Is he going to take the head so quickly? Huangfu Yi has been on Putuo Island for a few days. Since he got on the island, he seems to have never escaped from the other party's sight. Although he also sent someone to follow the other party, the other party seemed to know his intention to follow, as if nothing had happened and had no reaction."

Thinking of this, Wanyan Hongjie immediately asked, "Who else?"

Qu Wencheng's expression tightened and said, "There are also Murong Xue, the daughter of Murong Cheng, the head of Tianshan Sect, and his disciple Yelu Xiong."

Wanyan Hongjie said "Oh" and said, "Yelu Xiong? Is Yelu Xiong just recruited by Beiqi's 'Iron Lin Army'?"

Some time ago, news came from Donghan's secret stake in Beiqi that Beiqi had been defeated repeatedly on the battlefield against Donghan, so the "Iron Lin Army" strengthened the expansion of military and military talents, and Yelu Xiong was the best among these people.

Yelu Xiong arrived in Nanyong this time, on the surface, he was traveling with Murong Xue, but in fact he was investigating Nanyong's mountains, rivers and terrain and military strength.

Qu Wencheng replied: "That's right!"

He paused and continued, "By the way, General, Tuoba Yu, deputy commander of the Western Qiang Iron Harrier, just now, also entered the courtyard where Huangfu Yi was!"

"Tuoba Yu? Why is he here?" Wanyan Hongjie couldn't help but be stunned.

If Yelu Xiong from Beiqi is still just a potential opponent, Tuoba Yu from Xiqiang is undoubtedly a real powerful opponent.

In the late Tang Dynasty, the ancestors of the Tuoba clan made great contributions to pacifying the Huang Chao uprising. They were named the governor of Xiazhou by the court and were granted the title of Duke of Xia. Later, the Tuoba clan used the territory of the four prefectures of "Xia, Sui, You, Yin" as a base to form a separatist force in the vassal states.

During the Northern Yong period, the Western Qiang was established.

Although the Western Qiang bowed to Donghan and paid tribute to him every year, Wanyan Hongjie knew very well that the forces led by Tuoba Gong, the most powerful general of the Western Qiang, were not willing to surrender to Donghan.

Tuoba Gong married his sister Tuoba Ke to Prince Yong Rushun of Nan Yongrui. The intermarriage between the Western Qiang and Nan Yong royal families was not the two countries using a joint strategy to resist Donghan.

So when he heard that Tuoba Yu, the deputy commander of the Western Qiang "Iron Harrier", arrived at Putuo Island, Wanyan Hongjie was deeply locked in his eyebrows. It seemed that Donghan must speed up his troops to move south, otherwise the Western Qiang and Nanyong formed an alliance, and Donghan's great cause of unifying the world would add a lot of resistance.

As Wanyan Hongjie's chief military advisor, Qu Wencheng, of course, realized the seriousness of the situation. He reminded Wanyan Hongjie:

"General, should we take action?"

Wanyan Hongjie said in a singular manner: "Military advisor, can there be a good solution?"

Qu Wencheng said: "The four countries of Donghan, Beiqi, Xiqiang, Nanyong, and will sooner or later compete for the battle. The competition between the four countries is to be a competition of national strength and talents."

Qu Wencheng saw Wanyan Hongjie's expression was rigorous and his expression was serious, and continued:

"The most important national strength is military strength and economic strength. The Western Qiang is strong in military strength, but it has only a population of three million and is weak afterwards. Beiqi has just been severely damaged by Donghan, so it is not enough to cause trouble. Those who strive to dominate the world are Donghan and Nanyong. Donghan has the strongest military strength and Donghan has the richest economy."

Wanyan Hongjie nodded slightly and signaled Qu Wencheng to continue speaking.

Qu Wencheng said: "There are advantages and disadvantages between the four countries, so the talents who decide the outcome of the war are the talents. Tuoba Yu, Yelu Xiong, and Long Qingyun are all the most outstanding among the younger generations of Western Qiang, Beiqi and Nanyong. Why not just explore the tiger's den and try the depth of each other!"

Wanyan Hongjie's frown finally stretched out.

Slap your thighs and said cheerfully:

"This is exactly what I want!"
