"Tianyuan Mountain?" Shuangye paused, "Why did it go abroad?"
Tianyuan Mountain is not in Bejia, but belongs to a small country in the north. It is attached to Bejia. Although it is not large in area, it is rich in resources. It has all kinds of landforms such as plains, valleys, forests and lakes. It is called the Pearl of the Tundra.
"It is said that this is a secret order from the Emperor."
"No wonder Hong Chenglue was transferred from the battlefield some time ago and there has been no news of him." Shuang Ye's voice was calm as usual, "It turns out that he was entrusted with an important task."
Xi Yunhe answered very carefully: "Perhaps... General Hong would not dare to disobey the Emperor's order."
He knows what's going on.
Hong Chenglue was implicated in the party struggle and originally lived in seclusion in Yuan Country. It was Shuangye who re-employed him and brought him back to the battlefield of Beijia to resume his post and make meritorious contributions. However, the political arena of Beijia has never been peaceful. After the Qingyang elixir case ended, the storm turned into an undercurrent.
On the surface, Shuangye defeated his old rival of more than a hundred years, became the biggest winner in the elixir of life incident, and reached the pinnacle of power.
However, the Emperor disliked him even more.
Later, He Xiao unified the Golden Plains and claimed to be the reincarnated Dragon God. The slight connection between him and Shuang Ye was magnified infinitely by some people with ulterior motives and brought to the Emperor.
If Qingyang was still alive, he would never attack like this, because facing an enemy like Shuangye, if you can't hit him with one strike, don't attack. As for the relationship between him and He Xiao, Shuangye handled it very cleanly. The help he provided to He Xiao in the past was also extremely secretive, and outsiders could not find any evidence at all.
His political opponents could only find a few clues, which could not serve as strong evidence in court.
Even if Imperial Master Shuangye and He Xiao had spoken to each other before and had some interactions, so what? He Xiao had interacted with countless dignitaries during his time in Lingxu City. Could it be that all of them were wrong and had to be arrested and interrogated?
It is not a big deal in the first place, but when it falls on the frosted leaves, it is like a mustard seed on the body, which will be blown away.
Instead, Qingyang's remaining followers were exposed, and Shuangye took the opportunity to retaliate against them one by one.
However, after Qingyang's downfall, even Xi Yunhe noticed the discord between Imperial Master Shuangye and the Emperor.
It is not clear whether Hong Chenglue's job-hopping was a personal choice or he was forced to do so.
Shuang Ye said nonchalantly: "The Emperor is certainly right. Hong Chenglue is a really good choice. Didn't he return to Beijia to establish his career?"
First of all, Hong Chenglue is not from Beijia, and his roots in Beijia are the shallowest, not comparable to those meritorious families;
Secondly, in order to avoid being retaliated by Master Shuangye, Hong Chenglue could only cling to the emperor's thigh.
The above two points can ensure that Hong Chenglue is loyal to the emperor and is more easily controlled by the emperor.
Xi Yunhe responded softly.
In fact, isn’t he just like Hong Chenglue?
In order to avoid exposing himself as the traitor of Qing Palace and the instigator of the elixir of immortality case, Mai Xuewen, he could only cling closely to National Master Shuangye and be more loyal to him than anyone else.
Shuang Ye asked again: "How many people are there in his army?"
"The exact number is unknown, but it is at least over 100,000."
"What else does that army do besides drill?"
"I don't know."
"Interesting." Shuang Ye muttered to himself, "Since it is abroad, where will the money and grain be allocated from?"
Supporting an army is a heavy expense. "Well, it seems to be directly from the local area."
Xi Yunhe was curious: "How do you know?"
The Imperial Master just received the news and hasn't yet gone to investigate.
"Only 100,000 people. The burden of food for people and horses is not small. No matter how many there are, Tianyuan Mountain may not be able to bear it." Shuangye did not even raise his head. "If it is domestically allocated, there will not be so few people and horses."
Beijia and Lingxu City, what do they do? They are used to spending lavishly? The scenes are all grand.
"Lingxu City and its surrounding areas have hundreds of thousands of elite soldiers, but the Emperor wants to build a new army abroad. Hmm..."
Shuang Ye understood in one second the benefit of building an army abroad, which was that it could bypass the constraints of the country's military and political systems and build an elite force that would directly obey its orders.
Beijia has been in existence for 600 years, and Shuangye knows very well how redundant its system is. Sometimes it is not easy to even mobilize an army.
The last time the Emperor sent support to Qingyang in the Shining Gold Plains, it was a month later than the original date.
Could this be the reason that made the Emperor reflect deeply on his mistakes?
If it was Beijia's vassal demon kings and noble generals who did this, they would be training troops privately and harboring evil intentions; but if Beijia's Demon Emperor did this, whoever dared to ask about it, the Demon Emperor would reply with a sentence "It's none of your business" and give them a dragon breath.
You must know that you need to maintain your troops for a thousand days and use them in one moment.
Moreover, Hong Chenglue's 100,000 troops are most likely just a beginning, or just an experiment. The Demon Emperor will not be satisfied with just this number.
What Frost Leaf cares about, or rather, what the force represented by Frost Leaf cares about is, who will this army deal with in the future?
"Perhaps the Emperor wants to test the new army to fight against the Mou Kingdom in the future? For example, equip the new army with special weapons?" Xi Yunhe whispered, "I heard that when the Cangyan Kingdom attacked the holy land of the Ya Kingdom, they used special weapons, and the Ya Kingdom was defeated."
"You are right. The Emperor must have considered this." Shuang Ye was not stingy with praise. He was indeed a top student trained by Qingyang. He was not only smart, "The fact that Cangyan was the first to use special weapons shows that the environment of heaven and earth has changed greatly. The form of future wars will inevitably change accordingly."
"The Battle of Baiqiuyuan shocked the world. The defeat of Ya State this time is a wake-up call to Beijia and Mou State. If there is no change in the army, the Beijia army may follow in the footsteps of Ya State when facing Mou State in the future."
Of course, Bejia could get the formula and materials for special weapons, but from research and development to production, and then to installation, I don't know how much time and money it would take. Shuangye estimated that the cost would be at least three or four times that of Cangyan Country, at least.
Shuang Ye laughed: "Mouguo and Lingshan shared the formula of special weapons with Cang Yan, but they didn't expect Cang Yan to take Bai Lie away as soon as he turned around. This is really called shooting oneself in the foot. Haha, the war with Yaguo was originally instigated by Emperor Jiuyou, but in the end he escaped unscathed, while Mouguo and Yaguo suffered heavy losses. Over the past so many years, Lingxu City has wanted to instigate a war between Mouguo and Yaguo, but it has failed every time. Either Mouguo pretended to be deaf and dumb or Yaguo pretended to obey but secretly disobeyed, but they didn't expect that it would be instigated by Emperor Jiuyou in the end."
He used the word "pick" because when he reviewed the intelligence afterwards, it seemed very much like a trap and bait set by Emperor Jiuyou for the State of Mou. The State of Mou could not resist the temptation and automatically jumped out to take over the war with the State of Ya. As a result, the State of Cangyan got away with it cleanly and nimbly got ashore.
Xi Yunhe was also good at calculating people's hearts, so he said without thinking too much: "The Mou Kingdom is too familiar with Beijia and Ya Kingdom, and is well aware of the methods of these two parties. But Cangyan was established not long ago, and perhaps the Mou Kingdom does not understand the methods of the Jiuyou Emperor, so it was fooled."
