巴圖大軍的帥營之中，氣氛依然緊張，巴圖可汗，宏志千里，歷盡千辛萬苦統一關外各部族，白骨堆砌如今成就。數年以來的努力，常人所無法想像的艱難，眾王相爭，無數次瀕臨絕境，多少次絕地翻盤，塑造最後一個天之驕子。
一個強大的帝國何以是一天建成，這是無數歲月的奮力追趕，眾多子民的奉獻。巴圖帝國建立的第一天，就是以覆滅大息王朝為第一使命。他們在等待機會，蓄積力量，突破政治上的萬難障礙，各部族之間的微秒關係緊崩得如同千均一發般，被強壓的各部族蠢蠢欲動，利用一些空隙進行翻覆旁國。此行只能成功不容失敗，如若不然，大息王朝的報復，國內的利益關係倒塌，一切都將變成地獄。
巴圖可汗坐在虎皮帥座上，陷入深深沉思之中，國中政局關係微妙，維持至今已是奇跡。此戰已不可再拖，如不能按計劃實施，長遠國土外的後勤補給將出現問題，最終的結果只是巴圖大軍不戰而敗。
「戰！」這是巴圖可汗作出來的果斷決策，傅小蛙的行為已經影響到整個戰局的變化。
「可汗，軍隊還沒準備就緒，如此勝算大打折扣！」下屬將領急忙上言。
「再拖下去，勝算更打折扣，戰局展開，曲曲小隊已經不足已影響全局，傳我令下去，準備開戰！」
「是！」
「還有，不惜任何代價。一定要給我解決所謂的惡魔掠食者！」巴圖可汗彭地一聲，狠狠拍在桌案上。
「是！」
戰爭籠罩下的浩城冷清而滄桑，烏雲下正如人們抑鬱心情。號角已經拉開戰爭的序幕，巴圖大軍終於正式壓境，大批量的軍隊，巨型的攻城器械。
最先點燃的是浩城之外山嶺的戰鬥，一些重要的兵家必爭之地，重要的交通要道。浩城，絕不能讓巴圖大軍把自己重重包圍，這樣才有源源不斷的補給補充進來。
清晨的傅小蛙在勤勞地洗刷著自己伺養的戰馬。刷刷刷。飛珠飛淺在耀眼的晨光裡。
軍馬場的馬管，終於見到該馬廄的負責人，這是他第一回在馬廄見到這個小伙子，平時無數次經過。都是沒影兒。人不在。事情倒是做得妥妥當當。讓人挑不出毛病，也就無從拿他離崗來說事。
「年輕人，過來一下！」馬管騎在戰馬用鞭子點向傅小蛙。
「啊？」傅小蛙在忙碌中回過頭。見到是馬場的頭頭。
馬管的屬下不客氣地嚷喊道：「大人叫你過來，你耳朵聾拉！」
「是是是！」傅小蛙一溜煙兒小跑來到馬管跟著，馬管騎在馬上，傅小蛙頓時矮掉一大截。
馬管定定神，第一次近距離仔細打量這個年輕人，相貌平平毫不起眼。不過確實是這小子從火場裡救出戰馬，勇氣十分可嘉。
「上回在馬場救馬的是你？」馬管往下瞟到一眼。
傅小蛙作揖回道：「正是在下，小的愚昧，讓大人受驚了！」
馬管道：「本來想好好嘉獎你一下，可惜你三天兩頭的擅離職守，實在是讓我賞不出手！」
「小的有罪，小的下回不敢了，請大人恕罪，請大人恕罪！」
「看在你打理的馬匹還不錯的份上，我也不罰你，將軍府今日差人來叫送五十匹戰馬過去，我是見你照料的這批馬著實不錯，明天就由你送過去，回來給你升職！」
「啊？」傅小蛙抬起頭來欣喜道：「升職是不是不用養馬了？」
馬管笑笑道：「不是，是給你養更多的馬！」
頓時傅小蛙焉下來。
次日，傅小蛙找些個人，牽著馬便往將軍府去。將軍府沒到過，卻不難找，很快就有人領到大門口。
門口兩個衛兵攔住：「幹什麼的？」
「受令給將軍府送馬匹，這是手喻！」傅小蛙將手喻遞上，上面蓋有馬場的印章。
衛兵放行，傅小蛙與其它馬伕趕馬進府。
碩大莊肅的皇宮大殿，滿朝武大臣，此時不停的進言，朝裡一片嘈雜聲，有提議講合，有提議一戰到底，各種意見有之。
此時，皇座上的永和皇震怒一拍座把手道：「你們都給朕閉嘴，議來議去也沒有個結果，那些蠻夷都已經殺到朕的眼皮底下了，都只會在這裡磨嘴皮子，一個個都拿不出辦法，朕養你們何用！」
龍顏大怒之中，朝中一片寂靜，武百官垂頭不語，卻見還是夢玉博道：「臣以為，事到如今，應派吏節前往，探查巴圖王為何侵犯，有什麼條件才肯退兵，如條件不是很無理，以和平解決為上策！」
右相段洪遠反對道：「夢中堂此言把我大息王朝國威放在何地，曲曲蠻夷，只是如今得勢，我王朝往南的江山策馬十日也奔不到頭，為何怕它！」
「就算巴圖大軍最終落敗而歸，我大息王朝也必是元氣大傷，如果他們的所求可以滿足又無傷我大息王朝根本利益，立馬平息戰事才能免得生靈荼炭！」
「這些蠻夷已犯我皇威，應該立即給他們教訓，讓他們知道大息王朝之威，臣建議立即調派駐守南方的軍隊，將巴圖大軍殺個片甲不留！」
朝中兩方的朝臣你一言我一言，都是維護自方的立場。
這時的三皇子朱鴻煊上前作揖道：「兒臣以為，夢中堂所言比較可行，如能平息戰事，兒臣願作使節前往，以表誠意！」
bsp;
夢玉博忙道：「三皇子萬萬不可，這關外之族不是明之邦，他們可沒有兩國交戰不斬來使的禮數！」
朱鴻煊道：「朝中早已經派過數個使節過去，全部被他們回絕在外。如果沒有份量的人前往，他們看是不見！」
座上的永和皇作思慮道：「皇兒你可知此行危險，那些蠻夷無道理可講！」
朱鴻煊作揖道：「為天下安平，為百姓遠離戰火，兒臣願意前往！」
一旁的聽聞，大皇子上前一步道：「竟然三弟願意前往，父皇便讓他去罷，平息戰事，乃百姓之福，乃天下之福！」
右相段洪遠與大皇子為一派。皇位之爭夢玉博扶持三皇子朱鴻煊。段洪遠支持大皇子朱峻熙，如朱鴻煊出事，那大皇子上皇位是必然，因此他想要反對的話也落在嘴邊又吞回去。
「好。那勞煩鴻煊你走一趟。如若他們敢對你下毒手。朕定是傾盡國力也要將他們殺得片甲不留！」永和皇憤然地道。
「那兒臣立即準備動身！」朱鴻煊作揖準備退下。
夢玉博擔心地道：「三皇子，你要當心吶！」
「夢伯伯放心，不會有事的！」朱鴻煊笑著安撫道。而他心裡也沒底。
(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!)
