Getting Simulated By The Empress Is Not My Intention

  Chapter 126 The Disaster of the Feudal King (5000)

  The biggest problem with going to war against the Huns was that the Huns had no fixed place to live, and even Shan Yu’s gold account was on the move.

  Once the army goes deep into the grassland, if they fail to find the enemy and consume their physical strength, food and grass, they will gradually be dragged to death by the Huns.

   And the Dayue clan is also a nomadic people, and they are just behind the Huns. They can easily grasp the whereabouts of the Huns' army, inform them, and send troops to intercept them casually.

   As for combat, Zhang Beichen, who had seen the combat effectiveness of the Da Yuezhi army, did not expect the Da Yuezhi army to face the Xiongnu at all.

  【Dayue Clan Queen Lanxiang sent an envoy to show you the location of Monan Royal Court. You decide to go out with Ying Yiren. 】

  …

  Monan, King Zuoxie is drinking and having fun in his tent. Suddenly received a message from his subordinate: "Shan Yu, there is a large enemy attack!"

   "What?" Zuo Xie Wang stood up fiercely and asked, "We are deep in the grassland, how did they find it?"

  Recently Zuo Xie Wang has been migrating, because the previous settlement was discovered by Wei Jun and had to move.

  But every time they move, the other party will find them quickly.

   "It's the Da Yuezhi! Their people pretended to be herdsmen and lied to us!" Subordinate Hui reported, "This time we found the Da Yuezhi's cavalry!"

  The Dayue Clan was originally a nomadic people and was familiar with the grasslands. The Huns could easily distinguish the Central Plains people from them, but it was difficult to distinguish the spies of the Dayue Clan.

   "Damn it!" Zuo Xiewang scolded, "Back then, Da Shanyu should have wiped out the Da Yue Clan, now it's a catastrophe!"

   "Ready to fight!"

"yes!"

  Zuo Xie Wang still has 100,000 troops, including 30,000 fierce cavalry.

   Zhang Beichen and Ying Yiren brought more than 100,000 fine riders!

  The two sides started to tear apart on the grassland.

   "Array!" Ying Yiren was wearing black armor, commanding with a raised sword.

  The cavalry formed a fish-scale formation, charging fiercely one after another. One by one fierce beasts were beheaded, and the fierce riders were smashed to pieces.

   King Zuo Xie looked terrified, "How did Wei's cavalry become so powerful in just a few years? Even the fierce cavalry are no match for them!"

  Seeing that the situation is not good, he summoned his subordinates: "Retreat, go to Mobei, and find the Great Chanyu!"

  Zuo Xie Wang was about to flee the battlefield, and another cavalry appeared in the direction of their retreat.

   "Zuo Xie Wang, where are you running?" Zhang Beichen led troops to stop him.

  King Zuo Xie saw Zhang Beichen's portrait and recognized him at a glance. He shouted, "Zhang Beichen, do you really think you can stop me?"

   "You can try it!" Zhang Beichen said coldly.

   "Kill!" Zuo Xiewang rode a ferocious beast and killed him. Before he touched Zhang Beichen, his body swelled rapidly, turning into an orc with black hair all over his body, and his aura soared to the holy level.

  It seems that in this round, Zuo Xie Wang also merged with the blood of the beast, gaining stronger power.

  【You fought against Zuo Xie Wang, evenly matched. Seeing this, Ying Yiren also joined the battlefield. After these years of practice, she also reached the holy realm. Two-on-one, Zuo Xie Wang lost. 】

   "Boom!" Zuo Xie Wang was smashed to the ground, his beast features quickly faded, he coughed up blood, and said unwillingly: "I never thought that my majestic Zuo Xie King would fall here!"

   "Maotai will avenge this king!"

  【After Zuo Xiewang finished speaking, he sacrificed himself. The blood essence of his whole body turned into a drop of blood essence and flew into the sky. The phantom of the beast **** condensed in the sky, swallowing its essence and blood. Seeing this, the other fierce riders followed suit one after another. 】

  Zhang Beichen looked up at the phantom of the beast god, which seemed to be more solid than in the previous round.

  【You have eliminated Zuo Xie Wang and occupied the Monan area. You asked Emperor Wei to set up three counties in the north, and Emperor Wei agreed. 】

  【Emperor Wei recruited millions of people from all over the country to build a city in the north, and moved hundreds of thousands of people to the north. It took five years and the three counties in the north were completed. 】

  【At this time, you decide to continue the northern expedition, go to Mobei, and completely wipe out the Xiongnu. 】

  …

  After the Monan Royal Court was wiped out, the Mobei Royal Court had moved to the northerly area in order to prevent the Wei State from attacking.

  In order to find out the location of Da Shanyu Maotai, Zhang Beichen contacted Queen Lanxiang of Dayue Clan again and asked Da Yue Clan to provide information.

  …

  【Several months later, Queen Lanxiang of Dayue Clan sent a messenger. She had found the location of Mobei Royal Court and was willing to send 50,000 cavalry to help the battle. 】

  【You have agreed on the details of the battle. You and Ying Yiren will lead a total of 200,000 cavalry to march to Mobei. 】

  【After several months of raiding, you finally found the location of Mobei Royal Court. 】

   "Da Shanyu, the army of Wei is here!" His subordinates reported to Maotai, who rode on the wolf king and watched the cavalry rushing towards the horizon from a distance, with a gloomy expression.

   "Come at the right time, dare to go deep into the grassland, then the king will let them all stay here!" Maotai commanded the wolf cavalry to prepare to meet the enemy.

  【Wei cavalry fought fiercely with wolf cavalry. Neither side could gain a greater advantage. At this time, a large Yuezhi cavalry of 50,000 people joined the battlefield. 】

  Zhang Beichen originally had no hope for the cavalry of the Da Yue clan, but he found that the cavalry of the Da Yue clan who came this time were actually very fierce in combat. And they are equally well-fighted and well-trained.

   Taking a closer look, this fighting style is actually exactly the same as Wei Qi.

  One of them rushed towards Zhang Beichen. He was a general of the Wei army stationed in Dayuezhi.

He reported to Zhang Beichen: "My lord, this cavalry was built by the Queen of the Da Yue Clan with a lot of money after asking us to help with training. With this cavalry, the Queen of the Da Yue Clan has completely controlled the entire territory of the Da Yue Clan. It is enough to stand against King Guishuang."

   "I see." Zhang Beichen nodded slightly, it seems that Queen Lanxiang does have some tricks.

  I kept these cavalry in Da Yuezhi to check and balance her, but unexpectedly they were used by her to help her train her men.

   But it doesn't matter anymore, Da Wei and Da Yuezhi are too far away, and there is no conflict of interest for the time being.

  As long as Da Yueshi is willing to submit to Da Wei, all of this will not be a problem.

  【With the addition of the Da Yuezhi cavalry, the balance of the battlefield began to tilt to the side of the Wei army, and the wolf cavalry gradually lost. 】

   "Die to me!" Maotai's eyes are already red, his combat power is extremely powerful, and he can sweep everywhere he goes!

   "Yi Ren, let's go!" Zhang Beichen shouted to Ying Yiren.

   "Yeah!" Ying Yiren rushed up in tacit understanding, one after another with Zhang Beichen, and surrounded Maotai.

   "Only you, dare to fight with this king?" Mao Tai's eyes showed a fierce look, and the aura of one person actually suppressed the two of them.

   "Late stage of the Holy Realm!" Zhang Beichen was shocked. He and Ying Yiren are currently only at the middle stage of the Holy Realm, but the other party has reached the late stage of the Holy Realm!

  In the late stage of the Holy Land, one enemy and two are more than enough!

   "Hahahaha!" Maotai laughed loudly and said, "How can this king only be in the late stage of the Holy Realm! Beast God, please grant me strength!"

   After finishing speaking, Maotai activated the beast blood in his body, and his aura rose again, reaching the peak of the holy realm!

  The expressions of Zhang Beichen and Ying Yiren became dignified. In the realm of the holy realm, there is a huge gap between each small realm.

   At the peak of the holy realm, unless the king of Chu is resurrected, it will be difficult for the two of them together to defeat each other!

   "Army cheer!" Zhang Beichen shouted.

   Immediately, soldiers formed an army formation, converging their strength on the two of them, increasing their strength.

   "Death!" Maotai slashed with a knife, and a bright knife light pierced the sky. His spiritual force field locked the surrounding space, making them unable to move.

  Zhang Beichen tried his best to avoid it.

  【Maotai's strength is so powerful that the two of you can barely fight against it. After fighting for half an hour, both of you are exhausted, but Maotai is still fighting vigorously and is at his peak. 】

   "We can't go on like this, we will lose sooner or later!" Ying Yiren looked at Zhang Beichen and said, "Mr. Beichen, lock him up and I'll kill him!"

   "No!" Zhang Beichen resolutely refused, "You can't kill him!"

   "Trust me!" Ying Yiren said calmly.

   "Do you still have time to chat?" Seeing the two chatting, Maotai struck again, almost killing them. If it weren't for the soldiers' shield and wall array, the two would definitely not be able to stop them.

   "Okay!" Zhang Beichen knew that the war opportunity was fleeting, so he immediately burned his blood, used the magic method of the Legalists, sacrificed the "Law of the Great Wei", and golden chains appeared from the void, locking Maotai.

   "Do you want to lock this king with this?" Maotai struggled hard, the chain was constantly broken, Zhang Beichen tried his best to continue to lock.

  At this time, Ying Yiren was also ready. After burning her blood essence, her aura climbed to the late stage of the Holy Realm, and with the blessing of the army formation, her power was extremely terrifying.

  Zhang Beichen only saw her turn into a sword light, and in an instant he was in front of Maotai, and the sword pierced through his chest precisely!

   "Ah!" Maotai let out a scream, but he didn't die immediately. His hand turned into a claw, and he also grabbed Ying Yiren's neck and twisted it!

   "Yiren!" Zhang Beichen rushed to the rescue, but it was still a step too late. Ying Yiren had already exhausted all his strength from burning his blood just now, and now he was powerless to resist.

   "Die to me!" Zhang Beichen's eyes were blood red, and the spear pierced through Maotai's forehead, piercing his Tianling Gai!

  【Maotai was killed by you, and the fierce cavalry was completely defeated. Ying Yiren sacrificed himself to defeat Maotai. 】

   "Damn it!" Zhang Beichen was very unwilling. If he was stronger, he wouldn't be like this.

  【You order the soldiers to continue chasing and killing the fierce cavalry, and completely wipe out the grassland! Since then, there will be no royal court on the grassland! 】

  【You brought Ying Yiren's ashes back to Wei, and Emperor Wei buried Ying Yiren with the royal etiquette. 】

  【At this time, the southern barbarians were finally pacified, and Han Mengshu's class returned to the dynasty. 】

  The foreign enemies in the north and south were all suppressed, and the Great Wei entered a period of prosperity and development.

  Zhang Beichen rested for three years.

  In the past three years, something happened in the territory of Great Wei.

  He and one of Wei Yao's sons, because of their misconduct in the territory, provoked the anger of the officials and the people. The local general went to suppress it.

  This rebellion was quickly suppressed, but problems were also exposed.

  Wei Yao has too many children, and now the number alone exceeds twenty-five!

   Moreover, the oldest child already has a child. If this continues, won't Wei become a situation full of princes again?

  …

   Above the Great Wei Dynasty Hall, all the ministers are also discussing this issue.

  Gongsun Yan said: "Your Majesty, there are dozens of vassals in the world today. They annex land and train soldiers. If they are loyal and filial people, it's okay. It's just that some people will inevitably be deceived by villains, which is not good for Your Majesty."

   "Your Majesty, please reduce the territory and power of the vassal king, so as not to cause a catastrophe!"

   Wei Yao also hesitated about this. These vassals are all her children, and they were also born after several months of pregnancy. She definitely wanted the children to live a better life, so she gave fertile land and enough power when rewarding them.

  She was quite proud before, she had several times more children than Ying Yiren and Han Mengshu!

   Now I have a headache, too many heirs is not good, no, there are children who are not willing to be a vassal king, and even want to rebel!

   "Then do as you say!" Wei Yao said helplessly.

  【Gongsun Yan and other courtiers formulated a policy of reducing the vassals, vigorously reducing the fiefs and powers of the vassals, which aroused the dissatisfaction of the vassals, two more vassals rebelled, and other vassals were also secretly preparing. 】

  【Emperor Wei had to send a large army to suppress the rebellion, and captured the two rebellious vassal kings back to the capital. 】

  …

  In the prison, Wei Yao saw her two children, a boy and a girl.

   She loves both of them very much, and they were sent to Jiufan after ten years of raising them.

   "Why do you betray me? I am your mother!" Wei Yao was heartbroken.

   Both of them were originally respectful and filial to her, but now they looked at her with incomparable hatred.

   "Mother? Hehe, you are unfair, whether it is literary talent or martial arts, the elder brother is not as good as me, why don't you make me the crown prince?"

"The child is in the fief, and he has no idea of ​​making trouble at all. But the mother will cut off half of the child's fief at once. How can the child support his own slaves? Those evil officials, who were ordered to cut the feudal domain, are in the palace. The boy really couldn't bear it, so he shot at them. Unexpectedly, he was called a rebellion, and the boy was completely persecuted!"

  The two have their own opinions, and it is difficult for Wei Yao to tell the difference.

   But the fact that they rebelled was also true. In the end, Wei Yao reluctantly ordered the execution of her two children.

  She thought that this would deter other feudal lords, but who knew that other vassal kings were even more panicked when they learned that their mothers were really willing to execute their children.

  The spies reported that several feudal lords were planning to rebel, and they even planned to join forces to overthrow Wei Yao.

  Wei Yao was physically and mentally exhausted, and she no longer knew how to deal with it.

  In the court hall, Gongsun Yan suggested: "Your Majesty must not be merciful. Anyone who has a heart will be killed without mercy! Only in this way can the world be stable!"

   Wei Yao looked at Zhang Beichen and asked, "Prime Minister, they are all our children, how can I have the heart to execute them? What do you think should be done?"

  Zhang Beichen is also thinking about this issue. Among these children, there are Chongming and clever, and some are filial and well-behaved.

  In the final analysis, after becoming a feudal clan, they have their own interest groups. For this interest group, even the most loyal and filial children will betray because of it.

   It is impossible to destroy this interest group, and they do not agree to reduce their power.

  Zhang Beichen had no choice but to resort to a big move. He said to Wei Yao: "Your Majesty, the vassal kings only cause chaos because their territory is too large and their strength is too strong."

   "Your Majesty, think about it, the vassal king has been annexing land and increasing the population. It only takes more than ten years to form a country within a country! At that time, even if he doesn't want to make trouble, there will be people who will encourage and confuse him."

   "Your Majesty has many heirs, and the number of vassal kings has been increasing. In the past, most of the land in the world will be distributed to vassal kings. How is this different from enfeoffing princes?"

  Wei Yao asked: "How should we deal with it? I can't give up the land for the children, right?"

  Zhang Beichen said: "The fief can be given, but the method must be changed."

He continued: "Your Majesty, please issue a decree. No matter how old or young the children of the vassal king are, they are eligible to inherit the territory of the vassal king. If they have no meritorious service, their title must be downgraded. If they commit a crime, they also need to cut off their title and downgrade to Civilians, the territory is returned to the state."

   All the ministers immediately understood Zhang Beichen's intentions.

  Each vassal king has a large number of heirs. In the past, the eldest son was appointed as the heir. As a result, the power of the vassal king continued to increase.

  And if the territory of the vassal king is distributed to many children, the strength of the vassal king will be weakened at once. It is inevitable that these people will make some mistakes and reclaim their land, and the powerful feudal king will be weakened step by step until it disappears.

  The most important thing is that the vassals cannot refuse this decree. Because once they refuse, their own children will disagree, and internal chaos will arise.

  Gongsun Yan said with emotion: "The prime minister's plan is really a peerless conspiracy! And it's Yang, Gongsun Yan threw himself into the ground!"

  Wei Yao also understood, and said: "Mr. Beichen is indeed smart, I will give you an order!"

  【Emperor Wei issued a Tweeting Decree: After the death of the vassal kings, in addition to the eldest son inheriting the throne, the other children can also divide part of the kingdom's land and become princes, under the jurisdiction of the county guards. 】

   "Tweeting order? This is not tweeting, mother is blatantly cutting the vassal!" When the vassal kings saw the tweeting order, they felt powerless.

   "That's all, that's all, as long as this king lives comfortably, children and grandchildren will have their own blessings!"

   "After I die, let him be flooded?"

   There are also vassals who disagree with the implementation of the Tweet Order. At this time, Wei will forcefully help to implement it. And the vassal king has no strength to fight against Wei, so he can only be obedient in the end.

  【After the Tweeting Order was implemented, the problem of King Wei Guofan was resolved. 】

  Zhang Beichen breathed a sigh of relief, now he can finally continue to find ways to improve the national strength.

  He set his sights on the Western Regions.

   After the Xiongnu were eliminated, the Wei Dynasty took control of the passage to the Western Regions—the Hexi Corridor.

  Through the river system corridor, you can reach Da Yuezhi and the countries of the Western Regions.

  【You wrote to Emperor Wei, requesting to send envoys to the countries in the Western Regions to open up a business route from the Central Plains to the Western Regions. 】

  In the palace, Wei Yao reluctantly pulled Zhang Beichen by the corner of his clothes, and asked, "Mr. Beichen, do you really want to leave? Can't you send someone else?"

  Zhang Beichen nodded solemnly, and said: "Others can't handle the complicated problems in the Western Regions, so I must go!"

  He had to leave, because staying with Wei Yao was exhausting. Originally, as a saint, he had a lifespan of hundreds of years, but every year he stayed with Wei Yao, his lifespan would be reduced by several years! If this continues, the Holy Realm will also age prematurely!
