巴图大军的帅营之中，气氛依然紧张，巴图可汗，宏志千里，历尽千辛万苦统一关外各部族，白骨堆砌如今成就。数年以来的努力，常人所无法想象的艰难，众王相争，无数次濒临绝境，多少次绝地翻盘，塑造最后一个天之骄子。
一个强大的帝国何以是一天建成，这是无数岁月的奋力追赶，众多子民的奉献。巴图帝国建立的第一天，就是以覆灭大息王朝为第一使命。他们在等待机会，蓄积力量，突破政治上的万难障碍，各部族之间的微秒关系紧崩得如同千均一发般，被强压的各部族蠢蠢欲动，利用一些空隙进行翻覆旁国。此行只能成功不容失败，如若不然，大息王朝的报复，国内的利益关系倒塌，一切都将变成地狱。
巴图可汗坐在虎皮帅座上，陷入深深沉思之中，国中政局关系微妙，维持至今已是奇迹。此战已不可再拖，如不能按计划实施，长远国土外的后勤补给将出现问题，最终的结果只是巴图大军不战而败。
“战！”这是巴图可汗作出来的果断决策，傅小蛙的行为已经影响到整个战局的变化。
“可汗，军队还没准备就绪，如此胜算大打折扣！”下属将领急忙上言。
“再拖下去，胜算更打折扣，战局展开，曲曲小队已经不足已影响全局，传我令下去，准备开战！”
“是！”
“还有，不惜任何代价，一定要给我解决所谓的恶魔掠食者！”巴图可汗嘭地一声，狠狠拍在桌案上。
“是！”
战争笼罩下的浩城冷清而沧桑，乌云下正如人们抑郁心情。号角已经拉开战争的序幕，巴图大军终于正式压境。大批量的军队，巨型的攻城器械。
最先点燃的是浩城之外山岭的战斗，一些重要的兵家必争之地，重要的交通要道。浩城。绝不能让巴图大军把自己重重包围。这样才有源源不断的补给补充进来。
清晨的傅小蛙在勤劳地洗刷着自己伺养的战马，刷刷刷。飞珠飞浅在耀眼的晨光里。
军马场的马管，终于见到该马厩的负责人，这是他第一回在马厩见到这个小伙子，平时无数次经过。都是没影儿。人不在，事情倒是做得妥妥当当，让人挑不出毛病，也就无从拿他离岗来说事。
“年轻人，过来一下！”马管骑在战马用鞭子点向傅小蛙。
“啊？”傅小蛙在忙碌中回过头，见到是马场的头头。
马管的属下不客气地嚷喊道：“大人叫你过来，你耳朵聋拉！”
“是是是！”傅小蛙一溜烟儿小跑来到马管跟着。马管骑在马上，傅小蛙顿时矮掉一大截。
马管定定神，第一次近距离仔细打量这个年轻人，相貌平平毫不起眼。不过确实是这小子从火场里救出战马。勇气十分可嘉。
“上回在马场救马的是你？”马管往下瞟到一眼。
傅小蛙作揖回道：“正是在下，小的愚昧，让大人受惊了！”
马管道：“本来想好好嘉奖你一下，可惜你三天两头的擅离职守，实在是让我赏不出手！”
“小的有罪，小的下回不敢了，请大人恕罪，请大人恕罪！”
“看在你打理的马匹还不错的份上，我也不罚你，将军府今日差人来叫送五十匹战马过去，我是见你照料的这批马着实不错，明天就由你送过去，回来给你升职！”
“啊？”傅小蛙抬起头来欣喜道：“升职是不是不用养马了？”
马管笑笑道：“不是，是给你养更多的马！”
顿时傅小蛙焉下来。
次日，傅小蛙找些个人，牵着马便往将军府去。将军府没到过，却不难找，很快就有人领到大门口。
门口两个卫兵拦住：“干什么的？”
“受令给将军府送马匹，这是手喻！”傅小蛙将手喻递上，上面盖有马场的印章。
卫兵放行，傅小蛙与其它马夫赶马进府。
硕大庄肃的皇宫大殿，满朝文武大臣，此时不停的进言，朝里一片嘈杂声，有提议讲合，有提议一战到底，各种意见有之。
此时，皇座上的永和皇震怒一拍座把手道：“你们都给朕闭嘴，议来议去也没有个结果，那些蛮夷都已经杀到朕的眼皮底下了，都只会在这里磨嘴皮子，一个个都拿不出办法，朕养你们何用！”
龙颜大怒之中，朝中一片寂静，文武百官垂头不语，却见还是梦玉博道：“臣以为，事到如今，应派吏节前往，探查巴图王为何侵犯，有什么条件才肯退兵，如条件不是很无理，以和平解决为上策！”
右相段洪远反对道：“梦中堂此言把我大息王朝国威放在何地，曲曲蛮夷，只是如今得势，我王朝往南的江山策马十日也奔不到头，为何怕它！”
“就算巴图大军最终落败而归，我大息王朝也必是元气大伤，如果他们的所求可以满足又无伤我大息王朝根本利益，立马平息战事才能免得生灵荼炭！”
“这些蛮夷已犯我皇威，应该立即给他们教训，让他们知道大息王朝之威，臣建议立即调派驻守南方的军队，将巴图大军杀个片甲不留！”
朝中两方的朝臣你一言我一言，都是维护自方的立场。
这时的三皇子朱鸿煊上前作揖道：“儿臣以为，梦中堂所言比较可行，如能平息战事，儿臣愿作使节前往，以表诚意！”
梦玉博忙道：“三皇子万万不可，这关外之族不是文明之邦，他们可没有两国交战不斩来使的礼数！”
朱鸿煊道：“朝中早已经派过数个使节过去，全部被他们回绝在外，如果没有份量的人前往，他们看是不见！”
座上的永和皇作思虑道：“皇儿你可知此行危险，那些蛮夷无道理可讲！”
朱鸿煊作揖道：“为天下安平，为百姓远离战火。儿臣愿意前往！”
一旁的听闻，大皇子上前一步道：“竟然三弟愿意前往，父皇便让他去罢，平息战事。乃百姓之福。乃天下之福！”
右相段洪远与大皇子为一派，皇位之争梦玉博扶持三皇子朱鸿煊。段洪远支持大皇子朱峻熙，如朱鸿煊出事，那大皇子上皇位是必然，因此他想要反对的话也落在嘴边又吞回去。
“好。那劳烦鸿煊你走一趟，如若他们敢对你下毒手，朕定是倾尽国力也要将他们杀得片甲不留！”永和皇愤然地道。
“那儿臣立即准备动身！”朱鸿煊作揖准备退下。
梦玉博担心地道：“三皇子，你要当心呐！”
“梦伯伯放心，不会有事的！”朱鸿煊笑着安抚道，而他心里也没底。
(例行半章,他麻逼的破事太多,吃完自助餐,又有人叫去喝油茶,麻逼的麻逼的麻逼的麻逼的!)
