The Travelers of the Heavens

Taishi's Mansion, in the corridor.

Wang Ying lowered his head to listen to his mother's words. The maids who had just caught up behind him also lowered their heads to listen respectfully.

"All of you can't serve the prince well, what use do I need from you?" Moon God pulled away Wang Ying and scolded these maids.

"Grand Master, the servants were negligent.. Please punish me." The leading female steward confessed tremblingly. She knew that a whipping would be inevitable this time.

Since Wang Ying was born, the changes in Moon God are obvious. In order to give this only child the best life , she assigned Wang Ying to twenty beautiful maids and a young stewardess. The only task of these people was to take turns serving Wang Ying day and night.

From the time Wang Ying was weaned, he would not be kissed by the Moon God every night when he slept. To be held was to be held by these maids in turns.

Later, when Wang Ying grew up, the Moon God arranged a separate palace for him to live in. He was still accompanied by the maids every night when he slept. It can be said that he has never left the gentle countryside since he was a child..

In order to let his son eat well, Moon God made Liu Angxing Wang Ying's special chef. This also caused some dissatisfaction between Chi Lian and Yan Lingji.

In this all-star chef team, the combination of Chen Abei and Liu Angxing The cooking skills are the strongest, but since Chen Abei has to manage Shangshanfang, her son Liu Angxing can only serve Wang Ying's"eating". After so many years of study, the two apprentices, Shiro and Dudu, have improved their cooking skills. He is becoming more and more diligent. Although he is far inferior to his master Liu Angxing, he is still enough to support a kitchen by himself.

Back to the subject."Each of you has received thirty lashes, so go down." Moon God said coldly

""Yes." The female steward took the maids and left slowly.

"Mother, since they have served your son for so many years, please don’t punish them." Wang Ying begged the maids.

"They have neglected their duties and should be punished," Moon Goddess said.

"But after all, they are also sons, so why not just leave them to him for punishment? It is not the son who disturbs the mother for a trivial matter." Wang Ying is very good at talking.

"Just protect them," Moon God scolded with a smile.

"Son, thank you very much, mother." Wang Ying immediately thanked him excitedly. He knew that this was his mother's relief.

"Mother, I don’t know when father will come back." Immediately, Wang Ying asked again

"It should be soon," Moon God said

"My father has been gone for several months, and I don’t know what the situation ahead will be like." Wang Ying nodded and continued.

"Don't worry, your father has never failed," said the Moon God.

At this time, on the grassland far in the north, a battle had ended. Half of the Xiongnu's 50,000 fine cavalry were lost and they were defeated. The soldiers of the Zhou army were cleaning the battlefield and treating them. Wounded.

Since Concubine Yan assassinated the Xiongnu leader Man Chanyu and the prince Maodun sixteen years ago, the Xiongnu Chanyu Kingdom, which has been on the rise, has also fallen into civil strife following the violent death of the father and son. The kings of various tribes are attacking each other. The civil strife lasted for ten years, and the powerful King Zuogu Li became the final winner. Under his pressure and attack, various Xiongnu tribes surrendered one after another. King Zuogu Li was also supported by the small kings of various tribes. He succeeded to the throne and became the new Chanyu of the Xiongnu, named Kunlun Chanyu, which means the envoy of the supreme Xiongnu god Kunlun in the world.

However, ten years of civil strife also greatly weakened the Xiongnu's vitality. Although this Kunlun Chanyu was very brave, the various ministries Whether the little king truly surrenders to him is still a question mark. Today, the Huns can only mobilize at most 200,000 fine cavalry to deal with the war.

Just last winter, a heavy snowstorm fell in the north, freezing to death countless cattle, sheep, and horses, and many of the Huns' The people froze to death and starved to death. The little kings of various tribes suffered heavy losses, and the Kunlun Chanyu headquarters was also severely damaged.

As early as the time of Touman Chanyu, the Huns knew that the newly rising Zhou Empire in the Central Plains was extremely wealthy, and there were even rumors that the Zhou Empire The roads were paved with gold and silver, and there was so much food that they couldn't eat it all to feed their livestock. This made many little kings of the Xiongnu tribe want to go to the Central Plains to make a fortune.

But before they took action, the Xiongnu fell into civil strife. The tribes began to attack each other and seize power.

After Kunlun Chanyu succeeded to the throne, he was busy recovering his strength and eradicating the forces that refused to surrender without attacking the Zhou Empire. However, the heavy snow disrupted his plan and forced him to negotiate with Zhou Dynasty in advance. The empire went to war.

Eighty thousand Xiongnu cavalry led by the Kunlun Chanyu invaded the Zhou territory. Not only did they overwhelm the border garrison, they also invaded the Guanzhong area and invaded Xianyang, the old capital of the Qin Dynasty.

The news spread back to Luoyi, and the Moon Goddess She was shocked. She never thought that the Huns would attack the Central Plains so quickly and invade the hinterland of Guanzhong, so she quickly ordered the deployment of troops to intercept the Xiongnu troops. However, by the time the reinforcements of the Zhou army arrived in Xianyang, the Xiongnu cavalry had already withdrawn.

This robbery made Kunlun Shanyu and the little kings of various tribes make a huge fortune. Not only did they recover the material losses caused by the snow disaster, but they also made a huge fortune. It really took no effort. It took more than thirty years for the Zhou Empire to be established. Wang Yu and Yueshen only focused on the development of internal affairs and people's livelihood, and gradually ignored the development of the army. Wang Yu thought that by killing Touman and Maodun, the Huns would fall apart, but he did not expect that the Huns would fall apart so quickly. They were caught off guard by electing a new Chanyu and consolidating their forces.

The Moon God convened a military meeting to discuss the war against the Xiongnu. No one among the generals objected and they all supported the war.

Wang Yu personally took command and led an army of 400,000 in the Northern Expedition. The Xiongnu, and these 400,000 troops are also most of the current Zhou Empire's troops.

Wang Yu led the army all the way to the Heshuo area. The two sides fought many times with each other winning or losing. Generally speaking, the Zhou army had the advantage.

"How long have we been out?" Wang Yu asked the imperial guards on horseback beside the carriage through the carriage window.

"Returning to Your Highness, our army has been dispatched for five months," the Imperial Army replied.

"Have we been out for so long?"Wang Yu was a little surprised.

"Yes, it has been five months," the Imperial Guard said again.

"The Huns are ignorant and have disturbed my good life. I am not done with them." Wang Yu cursed angrily.

After hearing this, the imperial guards did not dare to speak.

"Go and summon all the generals to come to me to discuss military matters." Wang Yu ordered

""Yes." The imperial army went to find the scouts and call for people.

After half an hour, ten generals came and they gathered around the carriage.

"Your Highness, I will wait until everyone is here, but please give me your orders." One of the generals clasped his fists and said.

Wang Yu showed his head from the carriage.

""See Your Highness." Seeing Wang Yu coming down, all the generals paid their respects.

"No need, bring me the map." Wang Yu waved his hand and turned to order the Forbidden Army.

Two Forbidden Army soldiers went to the car behind to get the map and spread it out.

"Generals, please look, this is the Holy Land of the Huns, Dragon City. We are about two hundred miles away from the Dragon City. Gather your troops, and when the whole army is here, rush to the Dragon City and lead the main force of the Huns to fight me." Wang Yu Pointing to several places on the map, he said

"Your Highness, half of our army has been dispersed, and none of the chariots and cavalry are nearby. If we gather them back, it will probably take a lot of time," said a general.

"Well, it’s a problem, so let’s get as many troops as we can in five days. The rest will be sent directly to Dragon City to join me," Wang Yu said.

""Yes." The generals responded. Then they gathered their troops and horses.

""Uncle" the generals dispersed, and Ayan came out of the carriage.

""Yeah." Wang Yu looked at A Yan and nodded.

"Uncle wants to send troops to Dragon City?"Ayan heard everything in the carriage, she asked

"Yes, Dragon City is very important to the Huns. I have hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses pressing against Dragon City, which will inevitably lead to the main force of the Huns. Then we will have a showdown with them." Wang Yu said and knocked on the carriage.

"oh"Ayan responded. She doesn't understand these things

"I really hope that the Huns can take the initiative to propose peace so that I can take the opportunity to withdraw my troops. This war is not as important as my wife and children." Wang Yu said, rubbing his hands.
