The First Tyrant of Daxia

"Moreover, the scouts have determined that the heavy cavalry is not in the direction of Huyan City, nor are they coming from the north. They are most likely concentrated in the area around the stone road."

"Stone road?" Qin Yun's eyes flashed, and Mu Le and others quickly brought out the map.

"Your Majesty, it is here, located in the original mountains of the Jurchens. It is sparsely populated and has the steep characteristics of the north. If the heavy cavalry is here, then the forger behind it is hiding too deeply!" Mu Le said seriously.

Hearing this, everyone was startled.

The appearance of the heavy cavalry that day has always been a mystery. The direction of their escape was not the same as that of the Restoration Army. Qin Yun guessed that they were not a group of people.

Moreover, this is a time bomb. Perhaps this heavy cavalry will appear out of nowhere and go around behind the enemy, posing a great threat to Xia's army.

"Your Majesty, I think it's unlikely. How could heavy cavalry be stationed in a place like this?" someone wondered.

Qin Yun's eyes flickered, and his black hair fluttered as he stood on the city wall. "How is it impossible? Foreigners are different from us Han people. They grew up in this land and have already adapted to everything."

"Their army is extremely well suited to the terrain of the north."

"Then Your Majesty, what should we do next? Should we eliminate the heavy cavalry first, or advance westward, or continue to adjust and wait for follow-up?" Mu Le spoke, full of fighting spirit.

Qin Yun frowned and pondered for a moment, then suddenly thought of someone, Xitibi!

Snapped!

He slapped his forehead hard and said in annoyance: "How could I forget about him?"

"Where is Sittibi? Where is he?"

"Given his former status in the Jurchens and his position as the head of the intelligence organization Military Affairs Supervision, he must know a lot. If we can determine the location and leader of the heavy cavalry and defeat them in one fell swoop, it will be a hundred benefits with no harm."

"Yes!" Everyone suddenly realized.

Wuming stepped forward fiercely and said, "Your Majesty, Xitibi is in Tongcheng. He is with the army and is helping to make a sand table map."

"Bring him here!" Qin Yun shouted.

"Yes!"

The Jinyiwei left quickly, but came back not long after, bringing with them Xitibi who was possessed by a Gu.

It has to be said that Tong Wei's attainments in insect poisoning have reached the pinnacle. After so much time has passed, Xitibi has not encountered any accidents.

Qin Yun said directly: "Do you know the primitive mountain range on the stone road?"

"I know!" Xitibi blurted out. Now he looks more and more like a Han Chinese. He has no thick beard and wears a Han Chinese brocade robe. The only difference is his brown pupils.

Everyone's eyes lit up, they really knew it.

"Tell me about it." Qin Yun came closer, his eyes extremely eager.

In addition to eliminating the hidden danger of heavy cavalry, he also had some other ideas, such as finding a way to do something, collect some good things, and form a team of heavy cavalry himself.

After all, as Daxia's territory becomes larger and larger, its military capabilities must continue to expand, and just the conventional arms will not be enough.

Xitibi's pupils have become very normal, and the Gu King has basically taken root in his body. Consciously, he is a completely new person.

"Your Majesty, three years ago, someone discovered a large amount of high-quality iron ore on the stone road. The news was reported to the military supervisory committee, and then I reported it to Emperor Wanyan."

"Emperor Wanyan immediately ordered the army to intervene and collect iron ore, but when the order reached the then-Minister of the Imperial Chariots, Ge Yi, he suddenly died mysteriously. He was burned beyond recognition, and it was impossible to examine his body to find out what had killed him."

“This became an unsolved case at the time, and even when the Military Affairs Commission and other departments intervened, they were unable to find any problems.”

"Originally, when a person dies, he dies, but the marked map of the iron ore also dies with him and disappears without a trace."

"Without that map, the vast mountain range would have become an endless ocean. Finding the location and entrance of the iron mine would be extremely difficult."

"Eighty thousand troops conducted a carpet search, but to no avail. The matter dragged on for two years. Then the Turks were destroyed, and the relationship between the Jurchens and Daxia deteriorated drastically, attracting the attention of everyone in the Jurchen territory."

"I'm afraid that Emperor Wanyan has forgotten about this, but before I went to the capital of Daxia for negotiations, I found some clues that seem to be related to the Fan family."

Hearing this, Qin Yun's eyes instantly became sharp: "The Fan family again?"

"It must be that bitch Fanyin!"

Mu Le also angrily cursed: "Another Wang Min has appeared. He is really not afraid of death!"

Qin Yun frowned and couldn't help but said, "Wang Min is different from her."

Mu Le was puzzled: "What's the difference..."

Qin Yun obviously didn't want to dwell on this topic. Some things couldn't be brought out, even to his own close friends. If he told them out loud, it would cause a big mess. Wang Min was too sensitive.

And it’s hard to explain. After all, only three people in the world know about the matter of Wang Min and the child: Old Feng and Xuan Yunzi.

"If that's the case, then I have reason to suspect that Fanyin has something to do with the heavy cavalry. Maybe she was responsible for the death of the Zhongchefu Ling. She pretended to be a pig and ate the tiger, swallowed up the iron ore, and formed the heavy cavalry!"

Qin Yun's eyes were sharp as he made a bold guess.

Everyone on the city wall was in an uproar!

With the previous experience of Wang Min as a lesson, the military of Daxia is somewhat wary of such women interfering in politics. As the saying goes, once bitten by a snake, one will be afraid of ropes for ten years.

"No way, she has been in Jincheng all the time, how can she do so many things?"

"None of the three major prime minister families belong to Fanyin!"

"The Fan family is just a family in the middle of the Jurchen pyramid. The three former prime minister families did not dare to build an army privately!"

There were exclamations everywhere. The more they thought about it, the more something seemed wrong. Wasn't this the next Empress of Xiliang?

Xitibi suddenly spoke up: "Your Majesty, actually... Fanyin has always given me the impression that he is not simple, at least his mind is not simple."

"What do you mean?" Qin Yun raised his eyebrows.

Xitibi seemed hesitant and gritted his teeth and said, "A few years ago, she came to me privately. According to the rules, this is taboo."

"And she..."

Qin Yun's eyes lit up: "Did I seduce you on purpose?"

Xitibi frowned: "It's hard to say, but it's true..."

"Okay, you don't have to say anything, I understand, this woman is just such a second-rate person!"

"So, the Jinyiwei and the scouts will work together to quickly go to the Shidao Original Mountains to explore again and mark the route. If the Great Emperor Wanyan can't find the iron mine, I will find it!"

"I will fight the heavy cavalry that they dare not fight!" He spoke in a sonorous and powerful voice, with a hint of eagerness in his eyes.

Iron ore!

Not to mention this era, these things will be needed for development even thousands of years later.

Apart from anything else, the red cannons and heavy cavalry require a lot of iron mines, not to mention the future infrastructure, armaments, and ships. No one can guarantee whether there will be an era of sea navigation across the oceans!

With these things, that is the beginning of a great empire.

"Yes!" everyone responded.

Qin Yun exhaled a breath of foul air and looked at the gradually darkening night: "Let's do this for now, it's getting late, I have to go back and ask Hongye to change the medicine for me."
