The blue sky is washed, and the wilderness full of frost.

The coalition forces where Lin Yi was located approached the outer checkpoint of Daerban City at sunset.

Because the terrain of Dangxiang is particularly high, the sunset time is one to two hours later than that of the Southern Dynasties. It may be that the standing land is closer to the sky. The sunset light not far away and the dark clouds appear even more magnificent.

The city of Dalban, shrouded in this magnificence, appears even more majestic.

In the wasteland along the way, Lin Yi had also seen many of the Dangxiang people's settlements. Most of the ones that left the deepest impression on him were tents or earthen walls filled with dry cow dung, as well as various stone pillars and piles of stones with totems and scriptures.

The barrenness and tenacity of vitality are best reflected in the territory of Dangxiang.

In front of you, Daerban City, which is shrouded in dark glow, and prosperity and wealth are absolutely impossible to connect. Looking around, the city behind the towering stone walls are also filled with houses made of dilapidated tents and overlapping earth walls.

However, the Dangxiang area, both ordinary people and royal families with amazing wealth, like the prosperous and warm colors. The earthen walls and tents in Daerban City are all in dark red or dark yellow. From a distance, it looks like countless colorful clouds falling into the city, entangled together enthusiastically, brighter than the bright lights in the sky.

Daerban City was originally dug caves on the stone mountain, but now it gives people the feeling that there is no trace of the stone mountain. It looks like this city is built on a slightly tall slope. However, around this big city, there are a large number of stones and piles of stones everywhere in the flat wasteland that are more than ten miles away, emitting a completely different atmosphere from the frozen soil plain below. It also reminds passers-by that the initial digging of the caves in the city is definitely not nonsense.

The long-standing historical atmosphere is constantly emanating from these stones like beasts lurking among the weeds.

These stones and piles also have dense totem patterns and scriptures, but unlike the villages you see along the way, the patterns and runes on these stones are overlapping, many of which are even carved, passing through a hundred years of time.

But the most amazing thing is not the only one. The middle of the city is always emitting hazy mist and clouds evaporate. It is the formation of the geothermal hot springs in the city, but the inner and outer walls are covered with silver, conveying an extremely solemn smell in the cold wind.

The outermost stone wall cannot even see the true color of the stone. The outer wall is covered with huge ice ridges, like waterfalls suddenly frozen. At this time, there are thousands of colors in the afterglow of the sunset, giving people a confused sense of inreality.

The colorful tents and houses are always surrounded by gray or black fireworks. People cannot be seen from afar, but they clearly give people the feeling that many people are moving inside. At this time, the sound of the horns of the horns sounded everywhere in the city.

The time to arrive at this city was also deliberately chosen by Xia Baying. In this dim light, the Tuoba army in the city could not only see the size of her coalition, but also not let them see more details.

The Xifeng army is now scattered and mixed with the Xiaba tribe, Yeli tribe and the Western Regions coalition. Lin Yi found that the Dangxiang army had a very distinctive feature. They were not as clear-cut as the Southern Dynasties and Northern Wei troops. They had many characteristics that people could quickly judge who they belonged to.

In addition to the distinctive characteristics of the Xiaba people, most of which are like blood or flames, the Xifeng army, like the Western Regions Alliance and the Yeli army, have similar clothing, and are mixed in it, making it difficult to distinguish.

Shortly after leaving Tianmu Xirang, more than 10,000 Xifeng's army was sent back to Xifeng Hongqi's territory by Xia Baying.

The more than 10,000 Xifeng army was used as the identity of the defeated Xifeng army.

In the mouth of the envoy sent by Xia Baying to Daerban City to announce the news, the coalition led by Xia Baying had already defeated the Xifeng clan coalition in Tianmu Xirang. After the Xifeng clan coalition dropped its helmet and armor, only more than 10,000 remaining troops fled back.

In fact, she didn't deliberately arrange more details, because she just wanted to make a time difference.

Even if a spy from Tuoba family finds something wrong, and by the time the military information is transmitted back to Daerban City, she is afraid that the battle between her and Lin Yi and Daerban City has been completed.

In the dim light, the shadows of the Tuoba reconnaissance cavalry had already appeared in the wasteland about a thousand steps away from the coalition forces where Lin Yi was.

The horses of these cavalry were amazingly fast, faster than any of the Southern Dynasties cavalry that Lin Yi saw. But even though Xia Baying had already sent a message, the reconnaissance cavalry of the Tuoba clan still did not dare to get close.

Many tribes in Dangxiang have natural boundaries, and their troops are not as polite as those of the Southern Dynasties and the Northern Wei. Even if they come to negotiate, if these cavalrymen get too close, the Arrow Master in the army will immediately report their colors.

Xia Baying looked at the big city from afar, and a layer of blurred color gradually appeared on her face, like those icy rays scattered with ice. "In your opinion, what is Dangxiang's biggest problem?"

Lin Yi, who was also looking at the city carefully, was slightly stunned and turned to look at her: "Are you asking me?"

"You are an outsider, of course you will see more clearly." Xia Baying smiled self-deprecatingly and said, "What's more, the Southern Dynasties and the Northern Wei are still the most powerful countries in the world. Compared with Dangxiang, it is naturally compared with the Southern Dynasties and the Northern Wei."

“The biggest problem?”

Lin Yi frowned deeply, and he pondered: "In my opinion, Dangxiang has many problems, but I have not thought about the biggest problem you mentioned before. As far as I have seen in Dangxiang these days, the biggest difference compared to the Southern Dynasties is that their production is too scarce and their wealth is gathered in the royal family. The most important thing is that what ordinary people learn and hear are myths instilled by these royal family. Although they are obedient, they have lost the ability to change, and generations are limited to such poverty."

"Only the people want to advance, the dynasty will become strong. Since ancient times, the Dangxiang royal family weaves myths and lets ordinary people serve them as gods and Buddhas. Although it is beneficial to rule, and it is very easy to accumulate military strength on relatively barren land. However, such savings are similar to fishing in the dry pond. Therefore, it is okay to have a great war with the Southern Dynasties and the Northern Wei in a short time, but if it is stalemate, it will inevitably be defeated. Therefore, even if there are foreign tribes like Dangxiang who have strong military strength invaded your Central Plains countries, they can only plunder and cannot occupy a land for a long time. This is because the people of your Central Plains dynasty are different from those of our Dangxiang."

Xia Baying nodded and said slowly: "So it seems the same in my opinion. Whether it is Dangxiang or Tuyuhun, if you want to be strong, you must first become a civilian. This has nothing to do with production. The production of our Xia Ba people is also scarce, but with one skill, you can still have a steady stream of wealth."

Although Lin Yi already knew Xia Baying, when he heard these words, his eyes were shining brightly and his heart was cheerful. "It turns out that you didn't want to talk to the Tuoba family from the beginning because the Tuoba family is the strongest royal family of Dangxiang and the leader of the royal family. You wanted to completely defeat the Tuoba family from the beginning. You have to use this to change the entire Dangxiang."

"The Tuoba family and the Miqin family are representatives of the royal family, so they are destined to be my great enemy." Xia Baying turned her head and looked at the city, and said slowly: "So this has nothing to do with interests, but only with my ambitions. The Tuoba family and I are destined to be immortal."

Lin Yi smiled faintly and said, "It's not a day when the ice is frozen. The more you want to break the status quo, the more you need to be patient."

"The world trapped in front of you is the world that has not left before you." Xia Baying smiled freely, and she reached out to point out the big city in front of you and further away, and said: "I have already thought about it. One day, I will definitely send many young people from Dangxiang to the Southern Dynasties and Northern Wei to see the world outside and learn from the thousand-year inheritance of Middle-earth. They will naturally think about the meaning of life."

"In life, one must finally figure out why one lives.

Xia Baying's voice became lighter, but it was heard into Lin Yi's ears, which made Lin Yi feel that it was not externally powerful. "For me, it is meaningless to conquer cities and lands. I understand why I live, and I want all Dangxiang people to truly live. Ten years are not enough, so I will spend twenty years. Twenty years are not enough, so I will spend my whole life. If I die, naturally, there will be people who understand me to continue doing such things."

Lin Yi fell silent.

Of course he understood that the reason why Xia Baying said these words to him was because Xia Baying knew that he understood her true ambitions.

But he still felt that it was too crazy to completely reverse the precipitation and habits of a country with one's own strength.

He also knew very well that he was not actually a crazy person like Xia Baying.

Although he was born into a general, he was subject to dogma and teachings from the Southern Dynasties school since childhood. The world in front of him was not necessarily very broad.

After changing the new dynasty, he was used to the coldness of the world, but he had no idea of ​​changing the status quo.

"I have been through my childhood environment. You and I are not the same kind of people, but I naturally admire you very much." He was silent for a moment and said sincerely: "Even those words that are left with classic works may not have such a courage. You can teach me a lesson."

"I have seen too many ambitious people, too many mediocre people, but I can't see too many ambitious ambitions in your eyes, especially those with such power like you, who don't have that kind of ambition in your eyes. I am the first to meet someone who has such strength. Moreover, you are indeed a good listener." Xia Baying turned her head, looked at Lin Yi deeply, and said, "So if possible, I hope to maintain a covenant with you in the future after these things in Dangxiang are over."

Lin Yi thought about it seriously, but did not agree at once, but just said solemnly: "I will do my best."
