After counting the harvested property, Li Meng also bought a large table of wine and food from the restaurant. Li Bin, Li Meng, Dian Wei and Xu Chu, and then ate a meal and swept a large table of wine and food. Then, Li Bin, who was burping, took Dian Wei to a wing room where the cold noodle was imprisoned.

The reason why Leng Noodles is nicknamed Leng Noodles is because he always maintains a cold face and does not look like he smiles all day long. Even if he was captured by Dian Wei and Li Mengsheng, Leng Noodles' almost eternal face did not show any other expressions.

"Lengmian, I heard you have been a soldier in the Neighbors' Imperial Guard?" Li Bin asked at the tied cold noodles while picking his teeth with a toothpick.

Cold man looked up at Li Bin and said in a quiet voice: "There is nothing that can't be said for dying people. I have indeed been with the Neighbors' Imperial Guard, but it is not the Neighbors' Imperial Guard from the Great Yan Empire, but the Neighbors' Imperial Guard from the Great Wei Empire..."

The Great Wei Empire is located in the southern part of the Great Yan Empire and has been established for more than 400 years. Its land area is similar to that of the Great Yan Empire and its population is even greater than that of the Great Yan Empire.

Originally, more than 400 years ago, there were eight countries in the southern part of the Great Yan Empire, all of which nominally paid tribute to the Great Yan Empire. Later, one of the countries suddenly rose up. Taking advantage of the time when the Emperor of the Great Yan Empire was competing for military power with many generals and had no time to take into account the surrounding vassal states, it took less than eight years to annex the remaining seven countries and establish the current Great Wei Empire.

Chen Shao, the founding emperor of the Great Wei Empire, had a high confidence in establishing the Great Wei Empire and even wanted to annex the Great Yan Empire. He then sent two million troops to attack the Great Yan Empire, which led to the emperor of the Great Yan Empire at that time having to compromise with many generals in the country, announce his abdication, and pass the throne to the crown prince.

Then, with the joint efforts of many generals and sects of the Great Yan Empire, they quickly defeated two million invading Great Wei troops, and the Great Yan army also counterattacked and entered the territory of the Great Wei Empire.

Seeing that there was no hope of victory, Chen Shao, the founding emperor of the Great Wei Empire, made a quick decision to seek peace from the Great Yan Empire, and contributed a large amount of beauties and money to the new emperor who had just succeeded to the throne of the Great Yan Empire, as well as the powerful people in the court and army of the Great Yan Empire, in exchange for the opportunity to negotiate peace.

In the end, the Great Wei Empire ceded the land and population of eight counties to the Great Yan Empire and became brothers with the Great Yan Empire. The Great Yan Empire was brother and the Great Wei Empire was brother. The Great Wei Empire had to pay tribute to the Great Yan Empire 300,000 taels of gold, 300,000 taels of silver and 300,000 pieces of silk cloth every year. The two countries set up trades on the border.

After the conclusion of the alliance between the two countries, there has been no war between the Great Yan Empire and the Great Wei Empire for more than 400 years, and even small-scale conflicts on the border are rare.

After more than 400 years of development, the Great Wei Empire was quite developed in industry and commerce, and the wealth among the people was far greater than that of the Great Wei Empire. The total tax revenue of the Great Wei Empire last year exceeded 100 million taels of silver, of which 80% were derived from industrial and commercial taxes, and the remaining 20% ​​were derived from land taxes. There was no Ding Fu in the Great Wei Empire.

The total tax revenue of the Dayan Empire last year was less than 40 million taels of silver, of which more than 99% came from land and Ding Fu. Because many generals controlled the industry and commerce of the Dayan Empire, the industrial and commercial tax of the Dayan Empire was almost useless.

With huge tax revenue, the Great Wei Empire was willing to spend less than one million taels of silver every year in exchange for peace with the Great Yan Empire.

Unlike the military men in the Great Yan Empire, after the Great Wei Empire failed to invade the Great Yan Empire at its founding time, civil officials gradually grasped the authority of the entire Great Wei court, which led the Great Wei Empire to emphasize culture and over military affairs, and use literature to control martial arts.

The military man's status in the Great Wei Empire was very low, and the corruption in the Great Wei Empire became popular, so the overall combat effectiveness of the Great Wei army was much worse than that of the Great Yan army, and the Great Wei Empire did not have the confidence to tear down the alliance between the two countries.

Cold man's real name is Yang Hong, and his courtesy name is Yida. His father Yang Qun was originally a third-rank chariot general from the border guards of the Great Wei Empire. He was the deputy commander of the Zhenkangwei of the Great Wei Empire. The young Yang Hong also served as the deputy commander of the Zhenkangwei. He was appointed as the commander of the Sixth-rank lieutenant. The Zhenkangwei was stationed in Zhenkangcheng, a border city in the northern part of the Great Wei Empire.

After the Great Yan Empire and the Great Wei Empire became brotherly countries, the military organization and official positions of the Great Wei Empire were basically imitated by the Great Yan Empire. For example, the army of the Great Wei Empire was also divided into imperial guards and palace soldiers. The Great Wei imperial guards were like inner guards, outer guards and border guards.

The organization of each guard of the Great Wei Imperial Army is basically the same as that of the Great Wei Imperial Army. However, the generals of the Great Wei army do not have the tradition of raising family soldiers, only the senior generals have some personal soldiers around them.

Of course, in the Great Wei Empire, which uses civil servants to control military affairs, civil servants will never allow military officers to have large-scale private armed forces.

Yang Hong learned martial arts with his father since he was a child, and he was very talented. He was promoted to Huajin Martial Arts at the age of eighteen. Many people even believe that Yang Hong could enter the realm of a master warrior in a few years.

However, there were unexpected events in the world. When Yang Hong was nineteen years old, his father Yang Qun reported the civil servant to the court because he was dissatisfied with a civil servant greedy for ink and military pay. However, in the end, the civil servant not only had nothing to do, but the charge of ink and military pay fell on his father Yang Qun, and Yang Qun was immediately put on prison.

In prison, Yang Hong's father Yang Qun was scolded and was finally sentenced to death.

The young and energetic Yang Hong of course did not want his father to die unjustly, so he immediately had the idea of ​​leading people to rob the law field, so he secretly began to contact his friends in the army and several brothers from the same clan.

Yang Hong was about to rob the court, but Yang Hong's uncle Yang Zun soon found out that Yang Zun's official position was not as good as Yang Hong's father Yang Qungao, but he was also a deputy brigade leader of the border guards of the Great Wei Dynasty, and was a fourth-rank general Xuanwei.

In order to avoid being implicated in the entire family, Yang Zun tried his best to dissuade Yang Hong from giving up the idea of ​​robbing the law, but Yang Hong was determined to save his father and did not listen to his uncle Yang Zun's persuasion at all.

What Yang Hong did not expect was that in order not to let him rob the law, Yang Zun secretly poisoned Yang Hong's tea and drank him a special poison.

The name of this poison is Yuanqi San, which can destroy the meridians of those who practice martial arts and eliminate the vital energy in the body of those who practice martial arts.

After Yang Hong drank the energy dissipated, he vomited blood and couldn't even get up. When Yang Hong was bedridden, his father Yang Qun was asked to beheaded. Then because of Yang Qun's affairs, Yang Hong, who had already made a marriage contract, was also directly resigned by the woman.

When Yang Hong's mother saw that her husband was beheaded, her only son couldn't afford to get sick again. In addition, her only son was also disengaged, and she fell ill immediately and passed away soon.

Facing the old tears and crying that he was doing it for Yang Zun, the uncle of the Yang family, Yang Hong was numb, and he could even be said to be completely disappointed.
