(I wish you all a happy National Day! May you be healthy and wealthy. Also, just give me your guaranteed monthly pass, okay?) Chapter 1123: The biting dog "I miss the beautiful scenery here, the tranquility here, There is also great pride in being nostalgic for this place." Lyman stood on the huge platform outside the palace, looking down at the sea in the distance. He was wearing a robe and no belt, revealing a very strong physique. On both sides of him, several graceful women wearing only a layer of gauze stood there, looking at him with admiring and obedient eyes. They were holding trays with fine wine and delicious food in their hands. The bodies under the gauze are looming, and the early morning sunlight penetrates the gauze skirts and perfectly outlines the figures of these women. Especially the looming skirt is even more exciting. Although there was some sea breeze, it could not blow away their body fragrance. In such an environment, maybe as long as you are a man, you will sink. "But this is not the highest place after all." Lyman sighed softly and put his arms around the waist of a young woman next to him. The woman immediately let out an ecstatic snort from her nose, attracting jealous looks from other women. "Perhaps the life here is too comfortable." Lyman said slowly: "After years of fighting, you will always be a little tired. Everything here is so comfortable, so I feel a little sinking. I actually forgot for a while that there is still something else. There are so many unfinished things. When I first arrived here, what I was thinking about was the big city called Chang'an in the distance to the west. People here said that it was the most powerful city in the world, so I wanted to conquer it and conquer it. After being soaked in the gentle countryside for a long time, even ambition can indeed soften. "The woman in his arms did not feel the change in his tone and still rubbed her cheek against his neck. "Kirkbo, if I gave you all these women, would you be happy?" Lyman asked. Kirkbo, who was older than Hullens in terms of seniority, immediately shook his head: "I am already very old. Counting it, I haven't touched a woman for at least twenty years. And because I am old, I can't let my mind wander. On a woman, otherwise it would be useless for Your Majesty to keep me." "It's true." "I'm leaving." Lyman lifted the woman's chin and kissed her deeply: "I want you to. I was given my most trusted minister, but he refused to take it. But I can't take you to the army and leave you. If you can't stand the loneliness, you will find other men to have sex. This is really embarrassing. "The woman in his arms said coquettishly: "Your Majesty, we are just here to wait for you." "I don't allow others to interfere with my country, and the same goes for my woman." Leman reached out and touched the woman's skirt. He touched it for a moment, and his tentacles were a little warm: "So, it seems that I have only one choice." He pressed the woman down, let her lie down holding on to the low wall of the platform, and inserted him roughly behind her. , that sweet moan sounded immediately. In front of other women and his important ministers, Lyman conquered like a wild beast. Kirkbo turned around and stood at the door with a glass of red wine. He quietly arranged his clothes to prevent others from seeing the place where he could still stand up even though he was old. Not far away, several other women in gauze skirts slowly took off their clothes, and then took off Lyman's robe. Several people surrounded Lyman and used their pink tongues to roam around Lyman's body. Kirkbo suppressed the turbulence in his heart and tried his best to focus on the tip of his tongue to taste the taste of the wine. When he realized that this was of no use, he decided to think about something else. When his thoughts gradually changed from the battlefield in front of him to the unseen battlefield in Eastern Xinjiang, his mood finally calmed down. He closed his eyes, and in his mind was the map of the Eastern Territory of the Sui Dynasty. He is indeed old, but he knows that old age is never a reason to stay low in front of Lehmann. It makes Lyman feel useful, that's what. The older a person is, the more effort they put in. What young people can easily remember, they often have to work several times harder. For example, it took him two months to memorize all the maps of the Eastern Territory of the Sui Dynasty. Closing your eyes, every county on the map in your mind, and even every village and town that can be marked on the map, is very clear. The clearest thing is the place called Phoenix Terrace. In fact, Fenghuang Terrace is not very far from the Imperial City of Dongchu. It was a border town in the Eastern Frontier of the Sui Dynasty, and it was already adjacent to Dongchu. The territory of Dongchu is really not very large. In comparison, it is only slightly larger than the Gyeonggi Province of the Sui Dynasty. Compared to Shunchengdao, it is even smaller. Therefore, in addition to its strong military strength, the Aupulu Empire¡¯s army destroyed Dongchu so quickly.?Another factor is that Dongchu is really not a big country. The Eastern Territory of the Sui Dynasty, where Hullens was leading troops to attack, had five rivers and mountains from south to north, which was much larger than Dongchu. In fact, Hullens has done a good job. In terms of the size of the area, Hullens has conquered another place as big as Dongchu. However, the military power of the Great Sui Dynasty was far stronger than that of the Eastern Chu Dynasty, and a single Mu Mansion already made Hullons somewhat unable to do what he wanted. Coupled with the Black Flag Army currently in the Phoenix Tower, it is understandable that Hullens was temporarily suppressed. Kirkbo was thinking that if it were him, he might not be able to do better than Hullens. He knew one thing better than anyone else. If he did not urge him and gave Hullens enough freedom and rights, victory would follow when Hullens gradually divided the Han army in Eastern Xinjiang. Kirkbo knew better that if it was for the sake of the empire, then he should not persuade Lyman to go on a personal expedition now. Now that Lyman is on his own expedition, it seems that Hullens has completely lost his trust. For the soldiers fighting hard in Eastern Xinjiang, this is actually unfair. However, who told Kirkbo not to want to see Hullens become the greatest contributor to the empire? If Hullens succeeds in the end, there is no doubt that his name will be ranked in front of all courtiers in expanding such a huge territory for the empire. Kirkbo did not allow it, and his family was stepped on by the Hullens family. No country has pure national interests. Kirkbo thought a lot, and then suddenly realized that the storm had ended on the platform. "It's so intoxicating." Lyman put on his robe again and looked at the row of beautiful women lying on their stomachs with their buttocks raised. "I like beautiful scenery, so I linger here. But I don't want this scenery to be taken over by others, and I don't want to take it away. After I leave, there will naturally be better scenery waiting for me ahead. So" His hand Stroking a woman's buttocks: "Come here, drag them all out and kill them." He took his hand back without any hesitation. "Kebo, you are indeed old." He turned to look at Kebo: "If it were a young man, even if he deliberately distracted himself by thinking about other things, he couldn't do it." "I must "I can do it." Kirkbo said humbly: "Because I know that what your Majesty needs is not something I can't do." Lyman sat on the huge chariot and watched being forced to stand there to see him off. His Dongchu people. Those people have yellow skin and black hair, which are hugely different from the people of the Opuru Empire. However, Lyman has truly regarded these people as his people. Of course, they are lower-class people. "The army needs a large amount of food, grass and baggage for the expedition. We can no longer transport materials from the empire. The sea route is too long and consumes too much." Lyman said: "The people of Dongchu are very rich, and almost every family can get something from it. Find gold and silver. I need these gold and silver as military expenses to reward my soldiers. I also need their food to feed my soldiers. I will give you ten days to prepare enough supplies." Pointing at the people: "I don't care whether you use gentle persuasion or strong plundering. I don't want the carriage to be empty when the team sets off." "Don't worry, Your Majesty." Kirkbo stood under the throne of the chariot. He bowed his head and said: "The people of Chu have always had such a living ability. They are like springs. When the pressure is heavy, they bend down. When the pressure is light, they raise their heads. However, it is difficult to break their springs. Let them have nothing, and they will continue to live in silence. This is the weakest and most unwilling nation that I have ever seen. Even if their last copper coin is taken away, they will only cry." Lyman smiled: "Kirk Bo, people say that the older you are, the more cruel you are. Is that true?" "Probably not." Kirk Bo replied with a flattering smile: "The older people are, the kinder they are, so I ordered to collect gold and silver supplies. When I arrived, I told the soldiers not to kill anyone." Leman laughed and said, "That's good. I don't want any unrest in the place I just got. You're right, the Chu people don't have the courage to resist. , But we can¡¯t let them despair. If we let them despair, courage will follow.¡± ¡°I know.¡± Kirk Bo said: ¡°Your Majesty, are you going to mobilize more reinforcements from the mainland? There is an empire larger than the Sui Dynasty to the west, called the Meng Yuan. It has the richest pastures in the world. With the current military strength, it is barely possible to control the Sui Dynasty, but it will be a bit difficult to continue the Western Expedition. " "Don't worry. The empire has mobilized its troops." Lyman waved his hand: "Let's go.??In the principality of Hullens, all men over the age of fourteen were conscripted into the army and brought their own weapons. People in that place have always lacked the spirit of surrender. It is not a bad thing that more men die. "In addition, Mokes" he looked at the young general standing on the other side: "Starting from today, you will take over the original Chu army and give them some weapons." Then at least 300,000 men were recruited from the Chu State to join the army, and they were given weapons from the Chu State's treasury, which were backward swords and crossbows. When you go on a personal expedition, I hope you will be at the forefront with at least 400,000 Chu troops. Don¡¯t the Chu people also hate the Sui people very much? Then I will give them a chance for revenge and let them fight to the death with the Sui people on the battlefield. " "Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will let those Chu people know how to be qualified slaves. "The young general named Mokesi leaned over and said: "The army of the empire will step on the corpses of the Chu people and the Sui people. " "In addition" Leman suddenly thought of a person: "There was a man named Yang Shunhui in Muping City in the eastern border of the Sui Kingdom. He was once a very brave and good general in the Sui Kingdom. He had almost 100,000 elite troops under his command. Kirkbo, you Send someone to see Yang Shunhui and tell him that he is no longer qualified to withdraw from the matter. If I can't see his army on the battlefield against the Sui army, there is no point in keeping him. " "Yes, my lord. " Kirk Bo said: "That greedy dog ??that has taken enough gold coins should be let out to bite people. "Mokes said with a smile: "It's really a pleasant thing to bite his former master. "
