The sixth major event that happened this year. In the spring of this year, according to the traditional spring drill of the empire's army, the approximately 50,000 private troops belonging to the Luolin family in the Luolin Plain in the south of the empire. The recruits of the two divisions could not actually

They are considered new recruits. They are all veterans who re-enlisted after being demobilized. After careful selection and reorganization, they set off from the Luolin Plain and headed to the northwest in the name of "spring drill" long-distance training.

Subsequently, this army was stationed in the northwest Desa Province. Although this army was nominally the private army of the Luo Lin family, everyone knew that Du Wei was the eldest son of the Luo Lin family and the patriarch.

He was still his underage brother, and this private army was actually commanded by Du Wei. What's more, even the military pay was paid for by Du Wei.

In this way, plus the more than 40,000 troops of the Tulip family under Du Wei's command, Du Wei's command has gathered a total of 100,000 troops, and Governor Bohan of the neighboring province has more than 40,000 troops after the last conscription.

Wan. The pattern of the northwest region has undergone tremendous changes. Even a fool can see that Du Wei's move is obviously aimed at the northwest army.

On the mainland, everyone is watching, not knowing what changes will happen to the northwest in the future. The northwest is like a fire ball that can explode at any time. At this moment, just a subtle change may trigger several changes in the empire.

The largest war in ten years, and it was a civil war!

The seventh major event that happened this year...

When this incident happened, no one noticed its occurrence and process. But it was not until the result of this incident that people were stunned. It can be said that the pattern of the mainland was completely changed by an extremely subtle, even insignificant person.

Twisted...

Empire nine hundred and sixty-three years, late autumn.

Loulan City, Tulip Duke Governor's Palace, Northwest Desa Province.

Du Wei frowned, and gently stroked his brow with his fingers, as if he wanted to soothe the worries between his brows. He was reading a document, a report to be precise. Within the Tulip family, Du Wei currently has

The first adviser and chief administrative officer, Philip, stood in front of Du Wei. This young man looked more mature, with a hint of calmness between his brows. His hands were habitually gathered in his sleeves, quietly

Standing there, his whole body exuded an unfathomable smell.

Du Wei read the document in front of him, then slowly closed it. On the cover, there was a line of large red characters written:

Top secret! Northwest’s military plan for the next three years.

Du Wei thought for a while and glanced at Phillip: "Did you write these contents alone?"

Philip smiled: "No, I listened to some opinions from General Longbottom, and Knight Ruolin also gave me some inspiration."

Ruolin? Du Wei raised his eyebrows. Over the past year, Ruolin has done quite well. Since the operation in Nanyang completely developed Ruolin's military talent, Du Wei simply transferred this female knight to his army.

At the beginning of her career, Du Wei asked her to command a cavalry brigade, but after a year, due to her outstanding performance and Du Wei's intentional promotion, Ruolin had become the leading officer commanding a cavalry battalion of three thousand cavalry.

And if nothing else happens, she will probably be the first female general under the tulip family in the future.

Even QQ, this guy, when he accidentally chatted with Du Wei, mentioned Ruolin, this guy couldn't help but sigh in admiration.

"This female knight reminds me of the Messiah back then."

"Aragorn's wife? Chief knight of the Knights of Saint Laurent?"

"That's her."

And Ruolin's performance convinced the proud cavalry originally trained by Longbottom. After being tempered, this female knight's martial arts level has reached level four. Although it is not high, it is already pretty good.

After thinking about it for a long time, Du Wei asked Hussein for his opinion, and taught Ruolin the basic basic movements of Xingkong Douqi. After that, Ruolin's strength immediately increased greatly. During her time in the northwest, Ruolin's military career

In addition, all her spare time was spent seeking advice from two powerful men, Hussein and Rodriguez.

Rodriguez commented on Ruolin: "She is very much like me...a late bloomer."

It can be said that this descendant of the Munn tribe, who experienced too many ups and downs when she was young, has finally sharpened her edge and edges.

Du Wei looked at Philip, and then sighed: "The plan is good... but it will be very difficult to implement it... Philip, it seems that we have a big business now, with hundreds of thousands of soldiers... But you have to understand that our

The army is not as good as Lu Gao of the Northwest Army in terms of quantity and quality! All of his 200,000 troops are elites, and all of his generals are veterans."

But there was one thing he didn't say in his heart: Lu Gao's identity was actually Chishui Duan, a disciple of Xueshan! If there really was a fight, I'm afraid neither Hussein nor Rodriguez could be his opponent alone.

"Besides, we have to beware of the prairie people in the west." Du Wei sighed.

Although Bai Hechou, the Snow Mountain Witch King, seemed to have established a good personal relationship with him, and Bai Hechou also promised not to enter the mainland within ten years... But what he promised was not to enter the mainland, and it was him alone! He did not promise the grassland

No one invades!

And, going one step further... Du Wei is not a child! In such a big matter of life and death, he will not base his confidence on verbal promises!

Three years... three years. Now more than half a year has passed. Time is getting tighter and tighter, and there are not many things left for me.

"What I mean is... first west and then east." Du Wei lightly knocked on the table: "The Northwest Army is watching closely, and we also have an ally like Bo Han beside the Northwest Army. Even if there is nothing

When things happened, he was the one who took the blame first. Our goal is to deal with the grassland people before the Northwest Army starts the war. At least we must ensure one thing... that when we deal with Lu Gao in the future, the grassland people will not stab us in the back!

"

Philip smiled, and then he said as if leisurely: "In that case... Your Excellency, Mr. Alpha, should be back soon."

Alpha Guard Chief, Alpha Uncle. In the past six months, he has not been with Duwei, not even in the northwest. Most people in the Tulip Duke's Palace have no idea where this Alpha Knight has gone. Only Philip is a small inner circle in the interior.

Someone knows where Alpha is going.

Alpha is in the grassland. To be precise, he has been staying on the grassland for this period of time. The sun on the grassland has tanned his skin to a dark complexion. And the life of drinking mare's milk and eating mutton has almost completely turned him into a

A prairie man was born, and even his hair was dyed brown by Du Wei using a special agent, which is common among prairie people.

Moreover, he deliberately disguised a long scar on his face, which allowed him to cover his face with a veil without revealing his true face. This could hide his nose. After all, Roland people have straight noses, while prairie people have straight noses.

The bridge of his nose is relatively flat.

Alpha's current public identity is the number one warrior around Lord Saladin. His name is "Igo". According to the language of the grassland, this name means "Eagle on the Grassland".

Saladin. The boy named Saladin who Du Wei sent back was the thirteenth son of the Prairie King, a guy born to a female slave of Roland.

After he was defeated in that battle and returned, he suffered a lot at first. Because of the defeat, the Prairie King vented his anger on all the deserters who were lucky enough to escape. After executing hundreds of deserters, the Prairie King became even more furious.

, he almost demoted his son into a slave. Fortunately, he was persuaded by the people around him, "After all, he is your bloodline. If he becomes a slave, your majesty will be damaged."

The Prairie King didn't know that these intercessors actually received many benefits from Saladin. Of course, the person who paid for it was Du Wei.

After Saladin narrowly escaped the punishment, he was punished and left the royal court, and was sent far to the west far away from the royal court on the grassland to herd horses, cattle and sheep. In fact, he was left to fend for himself.

Then, Captain Alpha brought more than 2,000 prairie slaves that Du Wei had given him to the prairie. Half of these slaves were bought by Du Wei from all over the mainland. The other half were gifts from the prairie prince during the original peace talks.

of.

Of these two thousand slaves, Duwei selected some obedient guys and was led into the grassland by Alpha, and then contacted Saladin.

Duwei asked Alpha to bring a message to Saladin: There is only so much I can do. If you can no longer succeed, it only means that you are incompetent.

Facts have proved that Saladin is not incompetent, he is very capable!

With his superb skills, he quickly subdued these two thousand slaves and organized them into a cavalry team. After he first attacked and robbed a few small groups of prairie horse thieves, his men quickly increased to four

Thousands of people, in less than half a year, he annexed another weak tribe, and finally openly separated from the royal court and became the chief of a small tribe.

These things did not attract the attention of the royal court. After all, the tribe that Saladin annexed was just a small tribe with a population of less than 10,000, and most of them were old, weak, sick and disabled.

But then, Saladin's power grew like a snowball!

Alpha became the liaison between him and Duwei. Alpha connected him and Duwei provided Saladin with many high-quality weapons produced by the empire!

There is a lack of minerals on the grassland. Although the grassland cavalry are strong, they lack high-quality armor and weapons. This has always been their weakness. After Saladin received the support of Du Wei's weapons, he became even more powerful. He was originally a very powerful man.

A capable guy. In another year, the population under his control reached tens of thousands, and he controlled more than 20,000 people.

No matter what, this number is enough to be considered a medium-sized tribe on the grassland.

What's more, in order to increase his strength, Du Wei even sent two of his own magic students!!

When the royal court finally noticed the abandoned son of the Prairie King, the Prairie King was surprised at the astonishing development momentum of the son he didn't like, and on the other hand, he was slightly dissatisfied.

But soon, Saladin made a move. He voluntarily surrendered to the royal court, saying that the tens of thousands of people and 20,000 cavalry under his command were all willing to obey the orders of the Prairie King, and they were all the most loyal warriors of the Prairie King.

And the only condition he put forward made people feel that it was not a condition at all.

His request was: "I just beg my father to give me the treatment of a son! After all, you are my father."

The Prairie King was very happy. With just one gesture, he could get tens of thousands of people and 20,000 cavalry. No one would refuse such a thing.

In the next month, Saladin sent people to offer many cattle, sheep and horses to the royal court... Although the Prairie King did not lack these, the son who had given up on his own land still made such a filial act.

Very satisfied.

Moreover, Saladin did not even bring any entourage, and went to the royal court alone! Then that day, in the royal court, in the golden tent of the Prairie King, in front of many leaders of the Prairie King, and a dozen other sons. And

Chiefs of many tribes.

This Saladin actually knelt down in front of everyone, and then performed the most solemn and respectful etiquette on the grassland:

Kiss the feet of the prairie king!

Such a submissive attitude even moved the Prairie King. He even felt that he seemed to be a little too harsh on this son. After all, although he was born to a female slave, he could still be regarded as his own. And...it seemed that he was still

He is quite capable and very respectful to himself.

Then something happened, which dispelled the Prairie King's last doubts about Saladin.

The thing is like this. Because of the defeat of the 20,000 cavalrymen in Jinlangtou, a tribe that was originally loyal to the royal court became disgusted with the royal court. This tribe decided to move far away and no longer obey the royal court's orders.

This angered the Prairie King, and he ordered to conquer this disobedient tribe. Saladin volunteered to do this.

He did an excellent job. He quickly wiped out the tribe and returned with the head of the tribal chief to the prairie king. He wiped out the tribe and handed over all the people, cattle, sheep, and horses in the captive area.

, he himself did not intercept it at all.
