Imperial County Magistrate

Chapter 469 King of Pingbei

The eight-horse driver slowly drove in front of the crowd. Unlike the horses from Qianjing and the Four Kingdoms, these horses grew up on fertile grasslands and were trained by experienced horse trainers, so the horses grew extremely majestic.

If there were Zhou cavalry here, they would definitely be shocked, because even the Tiefutu cavalry, which Zhou was most proud of, the horses they rode were far inferior to these horses that suddenly appeared in the desert.

When the king's chariot stopped, all the cavalry turned their horses and drew out their scimitars and raised them high.

"The king is mighty!"

"The king is mighty!"

"The king is mighty!"

All the knights shouted three times in unison, as if even the heaven and earth in this area were frightened, and the sky became slightly darker.

A person on the chariot wears a large coat and a luxurious round crown, and the crown is inlaid with bright gems of different sizes.

Looking up into the distance, there was still endless yellow sand, but he seemed to be able to see another vast land behind the yellow sand, and unspeakable ambition burst out in his eyes.

"Your Majesty, he is here."

The guard in charge of driving called softly.

The man known as the King sat upright and looked to the left.

I saw a horse riding on the yellow sand in the sky, with long hair and a face like a crown of jade. The handsome face was different from the rough and arrogant cavalry around it, making it look a little frail.

But the king knew that this was not the case. Back then, the young man who claimed to be from the north broke through the siege of tens of thousands of royal city guards and came to him alone.

Even the most powerful warrior in the royal court is no match for him.

The terrifying strength he displayed that terrified gods and ghosts was simply unimaginable.

Therefore, even though he has known the other person for a long time, he always feels frightened every time he sees the other person.

"Kings."

When the horse came to the side of Wang Jia, he turned over and dismounted with a respectful tone. If Zhao Kang were here, he would definitely find that this person was none other than Prince Ning Xiao Feiyu who had disappeared for a long time!
His biggest concern.

"Aiqing is here."

Smiling slightly, looking at Xiao Feiyu, the young king felt a little heroic in his heart. He looked at himself, the elite cavalry guarding Mobei, and asked with a smile: "Ai Qing, what do you think of this king's cavalry in Mobei? Can it be compared to the others? Is it as good as the Zhou cavalry you mentioned?"

Xiao Feiyu's expression was dull, "The king's cavalry and war horses are far superior to any of the four northern countries. Dajin is located in the grassland. The people of Jin make a living by herding. The soldiers have superb riding skills and are born elite cavalry. As for the cavalry, No country among the four countries is a rival to Dajin."

After hearing Xiao Feiyu's answer, King Jin was not complacent and hesitated for a moment before speaking.

"As Aiqing once said, the Zhou State's cavalry is strong, so Qian State, Jing State and Qi State each have their own tactics to deal with the cavalry."

Xiao Feiyu chuckled and looked towards the desert in the distance as if he was remembering something.

"Yes, the people of Qi have many infantry and are brave. When facing cavalry, they often use the tactic of blocking one cavalry with ten steps to capture the mass of people."

"Jingguo's military personnel are extremely strong. In terms of the strength of a single soldier, it can be said to be the best among the four countries. He is good at local operations with a small number of people. In addition, Jingguo's terrain is mountainous and the roads are rugged."

"Therefore, it is a common method used by the people of Jing State to deceive the enemy to go deeper and defeat the cavalry through favorable geographical conditions. As for Qian State."

Xiao Feiyu fell silent as he spoke. King Jin was listening intently. Seeing his silence, he couldn't help but frown: "What's wrong with Qian Guo?"

If I remember correctly, this Xiao Feiyu is from Qian Country in the North.Xiao Feiyu showed a look of helplessness: "Back to the king, I have been away from Qian Country for a long time. The changes in Qian Country today are no longer within my control."

King Jin narrowed his eyes and said again: "With my huge gold and millions of iron cavalry, plus the gunpowder brought by Aiqing, can I defeat the four kingdoms of the North?"

Xiao Feiyu said calmly: "Soldiers cannot always win, and water cannot always take shape. No one can be [-]% sure before the battle begins. However, if the king wants to invade the north, it is best to target Jingguo."

"Why?" King Jin asked.

Xiao Feiyu said: "When I left the north, the four kingdoms had just fought a war. Qian State, Qi State and Zhou State were severely damaged. Only Jing State's troops were relatively intact."

"More than a year has passed now. Although the other three countries are recuperating, it is obviously impossible to return to their peak."

"If Dajin can attack Jingguo with thunderous force and use Jingguo as its foundation, the other three countries will not have anything to worry about."

King Jin laughed loudly, looked at Xiao Feiyu and said: "According to what Ai Qing said in the past, the Qian Kingdom is the weakest among the four northern kingdoms. It only has five states and six prefectures. Wouldn't it be easy to attack them?"

"Could it be that Aiqing still misses her homeland and can't bear the mountains and rivers of her hometown to be shattered?"

Xiao Feiyu did not refute anything but just looked in the direction of Jing Guo and said calmly: "There are great variables in Qian State. It is probably more difficult to defeat Qian State than the other three countries combined. As for the king's words about missing his homeland. "

Xiao Feiyu smiled: "What I'm asking for is just to let that person taste the feeling of losing everything."

There was some curiosity in the king's eyes: "Who is the person Ai Qing has been talking about? He must not be an ordinary person who can force you to leave your homeland, right?"

Xiao Feiyu nodded: "This is natural, he can be said to be the best genius in the world."

"Then I, the king, will fulfill my long-cherished wish for you!"

After a moment of silence, the King of Jin said calmly: "Xiao Feiyu listened to the order and named Xiao Feiyu the King of the North of Dajin. He will command the entire army. After the spring begins, he will lead the army to pacify the north and open up territory for our Dajin!"

Xiao Feiyu stood up, his expression was not very excited, he was still calm: "As ordered."

King Jin chuckled and patted his shoulder: "I really want to see the land in the north you mentioned."

"It will satisfy the king."

Turning his back, his eyes looked at the endless desert in the distance. The sky was getting darker and darker. The temperature difference between day and night in Mobei of Jin Kingdom was huge, and the temperature soon dropped by more than ten degrees.

A man came forward, holding a royal seal in his hand, and said respectfully: "King Pingbei, this is the royal seal given by the king."

Xiao Feiyu turned around, looked at the large gilt seal on the tray, and raised his lips.

Zhao Kang, we are going to meet again.

……

The thin and cold temperature of the moon makes people shiver, and light snow falls in the sky, indicating that the new year is approaching.

In the imperial study.

Zhao Kang, who was occupying the magpie's nest, raised his head, and Her Majesty the Empress opposite her stretched her chin and watched him flip through the memorials.

"The Ninth Princess of Qi has asked the Pearl Chamber of Commerce to deliver the sulfur needed to make black powder. The quantity is huge, allowing the Thunder and Fire Bureau to start making cannonballs."

Xiao Linglong smiled softly and said: "You can make up your mind on this kind of thing. By the way, before the New Year, according to the etiquette, I should lead all the ministers to worship the ancestors and pray for blessings. What time do you think is best?"
