"Your Majesty! This is a new battle report from the northern border. The soldiers and horses mobilized from the Western Frontier have arrived at Shourong City and blocked the attack of the barbarians from the Tinder Kingdom! However, due to the surge in the number of soldiers and horses, the northern border is in urgent need of food and grass. Please request it as soon as possible.

Dispatch grain and fodder support!”

"Your Majesty! There is a shortage of troops in the Western Frontier. The Wuzi state-owned army in the Western Region suddenly appeared in our important town in the Western Frontier of the Great Zhou Dynasty! The Western Frontier Army is requesting reinforcements!"

"Your Majesty, according to reports from spies, the foreign tribes in southern Xinjiang began to dispatch troops and generals seven days ago. There seems to be something strange!"

Faced with the defeat of the Huorong Kingdom in the north, the whole country was affected by one move. After mobilizing troops and horses from the western border for reinforcements, the Wuzi Kingdom in the Western Regions, which originally submitted to the Zhou Dynasty and paid tribute every year, was ready to take action.

The foreign tribes in southern Xinjiang also mobilized their troops and generals at this time, waiting for the opportunity.

In addition, part of the northern border was destroyed due to the reinforcements from the western border and the attack on the city by the wolf cavalry of the Tinder Kingdom barbarians, and the reserves of war provisions were also in short supply.

The military began to purchase from the people, which caused the price of food in the northern part of the Great Zhou Dynasty to skyrocket. The people who originally had barely enough food to eat suddenly couldn't afford it as the price of food skyrocketed.

For a time, the people in the north were filled with resentment. Originally, they only expressed sympathy and pity for the current Holy Emperor's decision to severely punish Su Ling, and at most they were a little dissatisfied. However, when their own interests were involved, the dissatisfaction of the northern people towards the current Holy Emperor suddenly soared like crazy!

After the local government learned about it, they immediately suppressed it, but it would have been better not to suppress it. This suppression directly led to an explosive backlash!

Some people who don't have enough to eat go out in the street and curse the emperor, just to be locked up in the yamen prison and ask for a mouthful of soup and water.

Soon, various local government offices were filled with people, and there was no room for excess.

Instead of curbing public dissatisfaction, this move intensified, with incidents of burning, killing and looting gradually occurring in some remote places.

For a time, chaos began to arise all over the northern border.

It only took about a month for the northern border to become like this.

In addition, this chaotic trend is spreading towards the south without stopping...

After learning about this situation in Beijing, the old emperor asked the ministers in charge of various ministries if they had any good strategies. The ministers also gave advice and suggestions, but they were all solutions to the symptoms rather than the root cause.

In the end, Prime Minister Li Qingyuan spoke bluntly and said: "Your Majesty, the only way to cure this chaos is to ask His Highness the Thirteenth Prince to once again take command and go to the north to attack the Tinder Kingdom, and let the soldiers transferred from the western border

The horse will go back and frighten Wuzi Xiaoxiao. As for the chaos in various places in the Great Zhou Dynasty, it is just a superficial sore, which can be treated with some treatment."

After hearing Li Qingyuan's words, the old emperor, who was sitting on the dragon chair in the main hall, showed obvious embarrassment on his face, which was always expressionless so that everyone could not figure out his intentions.

He just issued an order to recall the Thirteenth Son from the northern border and imprison him in the clan's mansion for a month, and now he wants to release him?

Such contradictory behavior is a slap in his face!

What majesty will he have then?

I just heard him say: "Does it mean that apart from him, I have no one else available to me in Zhou Dynasty?"

After saying that, he glanced at all the civil and military officials under the Highness, but no one dared to look at him and lowered their heads, let alone responded.

The humanities and military officers in the palace are not stupid. The Vulcan Army originally relied on its superiority in the number of soldiers and horses to guard the northern border. Even so, the barbarians from the Tinder Kingdom still dared to invade from time to time, let alone the loss of troops and generals.

Vulcan Army.

Once someone takes over this hard work and goes to the northern border, the soldiers and horses transferred from the Western Frontier will return to guard the Western Frontier. With the Vulcan Army losing troops and generals, it is impossible to defeat the Tinder Kingdom barbarians.

Even if the Thirteenth Prince, who is known as the "God of War", is invited again, the military attachés present doubt that the other party may not be able to win this battle under such conditions.

They have been in the officialdom for a long time, and they are basically human beings. They may not have much ability, but in terms of seeing the situation clearly, no one can compare with them.

Seeing the civil and military officials in the court hemming and hawing, no one dared to speak. The old emperor could only take a deep breath and said again: "Okay, I understand."

Nowadays, the Great Zhou Dynasty is suffering from internal and external troubles. No matter how much he hates the Thirteenth Son, as the king of a country, he can still distinguish between the important and the important.

Moreover, he is also aware of the current war in the north. No matter how good the Thirteenth Son is in using troops, given the current strength of the Vulcan Army, it is impossible for the Thirteenth Son to win in a short time.

It would be better to leave it in the northern border and spend the next few years stuck in the tinder country.

It can stabilize the situation and keep him calm at the same time, which can be regarded as killing two birds with one stone.

As for the issue of superior achievements and shocking the master, when the situation is stable and the war is about to be won, then the opponent can be transferred back and let one of his favorite sons pick peaches.

The only bad thing is that he was imprisoned in the sect's mansion for only a month and now he is released, which brings a loss of face to him.

But there is nothing we can do now.

Upon thinking of this, the old emperor immediately asked the eunuchs on the side to start drafting the decree.

…

[Zhou Zhe has drafted a decree to release you from the clan’s residence and once again lead an expedition on behalf of the royal family to attack the barbarians of the Tinder Kingdom in the north...]

The text message that suddenly appeared in his mind made Su Ling, who was in the clan's mansion, couldn't help but smile.

The ability of [Self-omniscient] fed back the details of Da Zhou's current situation into his mind, turning it into specific written information. Therefore, he knew what the old emperor had planned.

According to common sense in this world, with the current strength of the Vulcan Army, even if he can know the movements of the barbarians in the Tinder Kingdom in detail, without enough troops, it is indeed impossible to win this war in a short period of time.

victory.

But unfortunately, this is according to the common sense of this world.

But he is not from this world!

The box of bombs in the Fifteenth Prince's basement, as well as the large amounts of sulfur, saltpeter, and charcoal that the dedicated player began to purchase with huge sums of money since entering the game, as well as the "primary bombs" he learned when he used his [self-omniscient] ability to observe the other party.

The "Manufacture" skill will be his biggest weapon to quickly resolve this war!

In this dynasty with the background of cold weapons, bombs are like artifacts!

Coupled with his [self-omniscient] ability, which allows him to understand every move of the barbarians in the Tinder Kingdom, the outcome of this war has already been decided before he even sets out to fight.

"It's almost time to call it a day."

Now that the layout is complete, the emotions he wants are already there, and the next step is to finally ignite the fire and detonate the whole incident...

One day later.

Su Leng accepted the order "without any complaints" and left the clan's mansion, and hurried to the north.

In order to appease the morale of the army and the people, the old emperor asked the officials to publicize the matter among the people. The Northern Army also sent scouts from 800 miles to rush out early to inform the matter and stabilize the morale of the army.

And this move indeed greatly boosted the morale of the Vulcan Army in the North!

The common people who do not understand military affairs have also been comforted. Under the publicity of "well-minded people" in the past, Su Leng's name as "Military God" has been deified, giving the common people a concept that as long as the "Military God" takes action

, the war will surely be successful!

And the reality is exactly what the people expected.

When the "Military God" Thirteenth Prince came to the northern border and took full charge of the war against the barbarians of the Tinder Kingdom, he won the first battle in less than three days and defeated the invaders who had invaded Shourong City in the northern border, which was nearly thirty miles to the south.

The barbarians from Tinder Kingdom were beaten and fled back to Shourong City.

Then, in less than seven days, the barbarians from the Tinder Kingdom were beaten again and were forced to withdraw from Shourong City and head towards the border.

After that, there were good news all the way, and the barbarians of the Tinder Kingdom were retreating steadily!

After the "Military God" Thirteenth Prince set off for the northern border, the familiar sound of continuous victory reports appeared again in the streets and alleys of the capital.

"Report~~ Under the leadership of the Thirteenth Prince, the Vulcan Army won the first battle and curbed the continued invasion of the Tinder Barbarians!"

"Report~ Under the leadership of the Thirteenth Prince, the Vulcan Army won another great victory and recaptured Shourong City!"

"Report~~ Under the wise leadership of the Thirteenth Prince, our army has driven the Tinder Kingdom barbarians out of the Great Zhou Kingdom!"

"Report~~ The barbarians of the Tinder Kingdom were frightened by the Thirteenth Prince and my Vulcan Army, so they proposed peace!"

One good news after another, in less than two months, the Tinder Kingdom was actually driven out of the territory of the Great Zhou Dynasty!

What’s even more outrageous is that the barbarians of the Tinder Kingdom, who have always been extremely vicious and fearless of life and death, were so scared that they proposed peace! This is simply unheard of and unseen!!

When the old emperor received the good news one after another, he was stunned.

Especially when he received the news that the barbarians from the Tinder Kingdom were preparing to negotiate for peace, he felt like he was in a dream!

"How can this be?!"

Even the founding emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty did not scare the uncivilized barbarians of the Tinder Kingdom. How did the Thirteenth Son do it?!

Moreover, it was within just two months!

"It is said that His Highness Thirteenth invented a thing called 'gunpowder' and used it to create a magical weapon called 'bomb'."

The dark night guard who reported the report answered the old emperor's doubts, "I heard that this 'bomb' magic weapon has the power of thunder, and one bomb can kill dozens of Tinder Kingdom barbarians."

"'Bomb' magic weapon?"

The old emperor was full of doubts when he heard it, and frowned and said: "You ask the people from the north to bring one to me for a look."

"yes!"

The secret guard who reported the report agreed.

Seven days later.

Imperial Palace, Imperial Study Room.

A Vulcan Army soldier in the north brought a "bomb" weapon.

Looking at the tubular, ordinary-looking so-called "bomb" magic weapon, the old emperor wanted to reach out and touch it, but was hurriedly told by the Vulcan Army soldier: "Your Majesty, this thing is dangerous. If no one has taught it,

The method of use may injure Your Majesty, so I'd better let my subordinates demonstrate it."

When the old emperor heard this, he nodded and said nothing.
