Chapter 1177: Next stop: Phoenix Terrace "What did you find?" Fang Jie asked Zhuo Buyi. The latter sat on the chair opposite him, sipping tea. He looked a little tired. Obviously, even if he was dealing with two old people, reading what was in other people's minds was very mentally draining. Perhaps only Zhuo Buyi himself knows that the elderly are actually more resistant to this kind of thing. ??Especially people like Hullens and Kirkber, who have been plotting against others all their lives. Their minds are extremely firm, and if they are not firm, they are mostly just pretending. "First of all, I have determined one thing." Zhuo Buyi said softly: "The foreign emperor named Lyman doesn't trust anyone. After searching Hullens' mind for so long, he still hasn't found Lyman's weakness. He just He knows that Lyman has indeed transformed his body, and it is indeed related to the meteorite you mentioned, but he has no idea about this process or what kind of abilities Lyman has after the transformation. " "The same is true for Kirkbo. "Zhuo Buyi said: "However, perhaps because Kirkbo has been with Lyman for a longer time, he still knows more about other things than Hullens. Hullens' military talents are definitely far superior. Kirkbo, but Kirkbo is better at dealing with interpersonal relationships, so Hullens has been on the battlefield, and Kirkbo has been beside Lyman." Fang Jie nodded and listened quietly. Zhuo Buyi sorted it out and continued: "Leiman is a legend. His experience of becoming emperor is quite similar to that of Yang Yi, the Tianyou Emperor of the Great Sui Dynasty. He is the youngest son of the previous emperor of Opulu, and in terms of strength, he is also the youngest son of the emperor. The weakest among the crown princes. No one regarded him as a rival, but no one expected that this man had secretly planned for five or six years in his fiefdom and gathered a group of dead soldiers. " " When his father was about to die, he came back from the fiefdom on the pretext of returning to his country to visit his father, and then began a bloody journey to fight for the throne. This process was not complicated at all, straightforward, but it exceeded everyone's expectations. Later, there was no choice but him. "At the funeral of the old emperor, Kirkbo was an important minister. He was the minister who presided over the funeral. I don't know how Leman persuaded him to commit suicide. The soldiers were brought into the palace and placed among the palace guards. At the beginning of the funeral, these dead soldiers suddenly attacked and assassinated the other crown princes in front of the old emperor's coffin. "Follow me, Lyman." He released Hullens from prison and asked Hullens to use his family's troops to wipe out the families of other crown princes. These actions were so fast that people had no time to react, so that within one day, the members of the Opulu Empire were killed. The only person left in the direct royal family was Lyman." Fang Jie couldn't help but sigh. "The nobles were naturally angry, and those who supported the other princes were bound to resist. But when they resisted, they discovered that there was only one successor to the emperor. Then, at the funeral, Lyman did something Speech. This speech made all the nobles choose to support his succession. "Zhuo Buyi roughly said what Lyman said at that time, and it must be said that it was very inflammatory. At that time, the Opuru Empire was just a third-rate country, and in terms of strength, it was not even ranked among the top fifteen on that continent. That continent is different from the Central Plains, with many small countries. The big countries are in a dominant position, and the small countries are attached to each big country, forming several opposing camps. After Lehmann succeeded to the throne, he chose to seek refuge with one of the superpowers, the Aegean Empire. After this, Lehmann began his legendary fifteen years. In the past fifteen years, he has used the method of overstimulating the nobles to become almost invincible. In just five years, Opuru developed into a country that could compete with other major powers. But at this time, Leman behaved extremely humbly in front of the Aegean Emperor. Every time he saw the emperor of the Aegean Empire, he would tremble with excitement and crawl to the ground unable to control himself. It is precisely because of this superb acting skills that the emperor of the Aegean Empire always believed in his loyalty. Of course, Lyman also destroyed the Aegean Empire at the end. Just before destroying Dong Chu, Lyman destroyed the Rus Principality, Andrew's hometown, which was the last territory of the Aegean Empire. Zhuo Buyi said: "This Leman has a ferocity that is unmatched by ordinary people. This ferocity is not only for the enemy, but also for himself. He is able to make any sacrifices in order to win. During the days when the Aegean Emperor was ill, he He served the emperor like a servant, and he didn't rest for four days and four nights. He was more like the emperor's son than the son of the emperor of the Aegean Empire, because the emperor was infected with a contagious disease."Sick, no one is willing to get close, except him." "Bet" Fang Jie shook his head: "Bet that counts his own life." " Zhuo Buyi nodded: "But he did deceive the Aegean Emperor's trust, so that after Opulu gradually developed, many nobles in the Aegean Empire advised the Aegean Emperor to eradicate Leman, but All were rejected and reprimanded. For this reason, the Aegean Emperor even punished one of his favorite sons. It can be seen that during those years, Lehmann did much more than just serve patients for a few days. " "So, he and Yang Yi are different. "Zhuo Buyi continued: "This is a person who can hardly find a weakness, at least in human nature. He has no feelings, whether it is for relatives, family or friends and subordinates. He pays more attention to people he thinks are important, and he doesn't have any ties to people he thinks are unimportant. This importance is of course not emotional, but based on interests. " Fang Jie nodded: "It turns out that Hullens and Kirkbo were Lyman's earliest heroes. Without both of them, Lyman would not have become emperor. " "So, the two of them always thought that they would die well. Fang Jie smiled: "The more important it is, how can it end well?" " I have read a lot of Qing palace dramas in my previous life. Whether it is true or not, those ministers in the TV series who assisted a certain prince to ascend the throne did not end well in the end. " There are some problems with Lyman's character. Zhuo Buyi said: "Based on the information I have received now, this person is difficult to explain clearly." The first thing Hullens remembers deeply is that when Lehmann attacked neighboring countries for the first time, in order to boost morale, he was always at the front, but he was very strong and was not injured. However, in a difficult battle, he scratched his chest, pretended to be injured and still fought the enemy, boosting morale and winning. "Second, when he was serving the sick Emperor of the Aegean Empire, he was not even suspected by the emperor's heirs. This is not simple. Later, Hullens learned that Lyman's contribution far exceeded the limitations of the word "self-esteem". Once the son of the emperor of the Aegean Empire asked Lyman to eat shit, and Lyman did not hesitate. " "Third, when attacking the Aegean Empire, the Aegean Empire had a large number of mages, and these mages could borrow the power of meteorites. In order to ensure that he would not be assassinated, Lyman put a meteorite in his chest, which almost made him He died, but after he recovered, he had the ability not to be killed by mages. " "Fourth" Zhuo Buyi glanced at Fang Jie: "Before attacking the Sui Dynasty, Leman stayed in the palace of Ruyi City, the imperial capital of Eastern Chu, for a long time. Most people thought that he was nostalgic for the comfort of Ruyi City. But Kirkbo knew that he had once again transformed his body, took out the meteorite and replaced it with something else. "Fang Jie frowned. It can be said that this Lyman is indeed cruel enough to him. "Probably there are only so many. "Zhuo Buyi said: "Lyman is a person who knows how to keep himself mysterious and powerful. He will not let anyone know his secret. " Fang Jie nodded. At this time, someone spoke outside. It was Wu Yiyi and the others who came back after counting the casualties and victories. "I'll go back and rest for a while. Dealing with these old stubborns will consume a lot of energy. "Zhuo Buyi stood up and said goodbye. Wu Yiyi led the generals in from the outside, and everyone stood on both sides. "Lord" Wu Yiyi leaned over and said: "Hullens' army was basically wiped out, and the number of people who escaped was probably in his total. One-seventh of the troops, but these people have no supplies or support, and most of them can be eliminated in a few days. In addition to the foreign soldiers killed, there are still about 120,000 prisoners. "Wu Yiyi smiled and said: "There is a huge difference between these Opulu people and the Mengyuan people. If the Mengyuan people are defeated, many people will choose to commit suicide rather than become slaves. Because the traditional habits on the grassland make them afraid, those who become slaves will have an extremely miserable life in the future. Many people feel that it is better to die than become a slave. But the habit of the Opulus is that when defeated, they must either flee as quickly as possible or surrender. " "Because the Aupulu Empire was a small country at the time and its military resources were limited. Therefore, Lyman's rule was that after victory, all surrendered troops would be included in his own team. He needed a large number of prisoners to replenish his soldiers, so in the eyes of those Opulus, others did the same. They believed that after surrender, they would continue to be soldiers, but they would just have a different master. " Chen Dingnan said: "In fact, the real soldiers of the Opulus nation areNot much. Although Hullens' family was considered a noble in Opulu at that time, it was a noble of a small country after all. How many people could it have? The more than 200,000 troops under Hullens's command are actually prisoners obtained in previous battles. These soldiers were trained by Hullens to be very effective in combat, but they were not very loyal to Hullens at all. " Fang Jie nodded. " How to deal with it? " "Invite Chu Juzheng. Fang Jie ordered: "His Chu army must be interested in becoming executioners." "Everyone laughed and was in a good mood. It seemed most appropriate for the Chu people to do this kind of thing. Their country was ruined and their family was destroyed. Fang Jie stood up and ordered: "Within one day, count all the weapons of the foreigners. They are handed over to the firearms battalion, and then the firearms battalion selects and distributes them to each army. The army rested in Malan Mountain for ten days and prepared to set off for Fenghuang Terrace. "
