Glancing at the bright morning sun, Dugu Junjie wiped his forehead casually. He was only in the Golden Core stage. Although his military strategy was good, his cultivation was not enough after all. After a morning of fierce fighting, he was already covered in sweat - this was the result of someone protecting him.
However, at this time, Dugu Junjie was only excited. He shouted, leading the 20,000 elite troops in the army, all of whom were above the foundation-building stage, and quickly headed north.
The wind and clouds are rolling under everyone's feet, and the precious talismans are used to rush on the road.
In the military, time is victory!
The team had only advanced for half an hour when a scout suddenly came to report: "General, a logistics supply team from the Kingdom of Jinyang has been spotted ahead. There are about five thousand people, and the transported supplies are piled up like mountains.
Maybe it¡¯s because they have no defense at home. "
"Without defense?" Dugu Junjie's eyes brightened instantly, "How many masters are there at the Nascent Soul stage and above? How many are at the Golden Core stage and above?"
"Preliminary judgment shows that only two of the leaders are at the Nascent Soul stage, and the remaining several hundred are at the Golden Core stage; the rest are at the Foundation Establishment stage and ordinary soldiers."
Dugu Junjie nodded slowly. Maybe the enemy was on his own territory and didn't think about any defense. However, this is a good opportunity.
Dugu Junjie had an idea in an instant: "We will stop this team, and then everyone will dress up and trick the gate into entering. Hey!"
¡¡¡¡
It was also dawn, in the palace of Qixia Kingdom, the new emperor quietly looked at the dawn in the east, but his heart was confused.
"The Kingdom of Qixia at this time is so like the dawn right now. Only a faint light can be seen, but otherwise it is almost completely shrouded in darkness!"
He has only been on the throne for less than a month, but he is already exhausted mentally and physically. He is not stupid, but he has no self-awareness, he doesn't know how bad he is.
But, he is also working hard and trying his best!
Behind him, Prime Minister Ouyang Si stood quietly, his face full of emotion. In addition to Ouyang Si, there are also Zhao Duo, the imperial censor, Su Ming, the minister of the Ministry of household affairs, Yu Tiequan, the minister of the Ministry of war, and so on. But everyone looked solemn.
Ouyangzi turned to look at the letters crumpled on the ground, anger flashing in his eyes. This letter is from the Kingdom of Jinyang. The Kingdom of Jinyang has denied the previous engagement. Don't take it seriously, such as marrying a princess and becoming a crown princess. It's just a lie.
You, the country of Qixia, are not qualified for marriage or anything like that!
"However, in addition to denying the marriage contract, the Kingdom of Jinyang made an 'excessive' request - marriage is not qualified, but we can get married. You princess is quite beautiful and can be a concubine to the prince.
"If you agree, then dress up the princess as soon as possible and send her there respectfully; as for the dowry, use the entire Zhang family as a dowry, including the Zhang family's black iron smelting technology, etc.
If you do this, we, the Kingdom of Jinyang, can retain half of the territory of the Kingdom of Qixia and accept you as a vassal state. Otherwise, see you on the battlefield!
This condition is of course very excessive. Butbut does the Qixia Kingdom still have a choice now? To be precise, the new emperor could not imagine that the country of Qixia had any other hope.
Among the complex choices of defeat, destruction, marriage, and retaining half of the country, he chose the most humiliating way.
But, so far, he has not completely made up his mind. He was still thinking of a way, still struggling - because Xingchang County was victorious and captured 70,000 prisoners, which also allowed the emperor to see a ray of light in the dark night.
Under the dawn sky, it is full of depression. Ouyang Si and others didn't know how to speak.
Suddenly there was the sound of footsteps, and a guard was seen tiptoeing over, standing at the edge of the courtyard, holding a jade slip from a distance, bowing to the emperor and saying: "Your Majesty, this is from Jiuyang Sect. letter."
The emperor said nothing.
After a while, Ouyang Si had to step forward, take the jade slip and hold it in front of the emperor.
The emperor's eyes were a little straightened, and he looked at the jade slip in Ouyang Si's hand, his eyes slightly timid. "Whatis this news? Just take a look and tell me."
His tone was cowardly and weak, and he didn¡¯t even have the courage to call himself ¡®I¡¯.
Ouyang Si looked at the emperor like this, not to mention the disappointment in his heart. But he still activated the jade slip, and after a while his color changed, even a little pale. There was also some fear in Ouyang Si's eyes.
"Your Majesty Your Majesty Gudong" Ouyang Si swallowed a mouthful of saliva and saidShivering with anger, "JiuJiuyang Sectrebelled. They all fell to the Kingdom of Jinyang!"
The emperor's figure swayed momentarily, and he was unsteady on his feet. Although he does not have much political wisdom and means, he understands the significance of Jiuyang Sect.
The country of Qixia has three pillars: the royal family and the country, Jiuyang Sect, and Xinglin Hall!
Xinglintang belongs to soft power, while the royal family and Jiuyang Sect are indeed hard power. Now that the Jiuyang Sect has fallen to the Kingdom of Jinyang, it is equivalent to losing one of the two legs of the Kingdom of Qixia. This result can no longer be described by the word 'bad'.
??Also, the national administrative divisions of the Kingdom of Qixia are: Guangling County in the center, directly ruled by the royal family, occupying almost half of the area of ??the Kingdom of Qixia.
It is surrounded by several small counties, and most families, sects, etc. are distributed in the surrounding counties.
But the interior of Guangling County is also complicated, and those who are left here are all large families and large sects. For example, Jiuyang Sect. The loss of Jiuyang Sect is equivalent to the loss of half of Guangling County.
That is to say, the Jiuyang Sect made a decision, and the land area of ??Qixia Kingdom was reduced by a quarter!
This is the world of spiritual practice and the influence of large-scale sects on the country. No royal family likes big families, sects, etc., so the Kingdom of Jinyang would rather lure wolves into the house, but also clean up all the large and small families, sects, etc. in the country. If a foreigner comes, they must first settle down.
But the country of Qixia does not have this ability.
There was silence again.
The sky gradually became brighter, and finally Ouyang Qingque brought the princess over. The princess' face was very calm, or ratherdeadly silent!
Along the way, the princess was very honest and did not try to escape at all. She was so obedient that it made people feel distressed. Even with Ouyang Qingque's sarcastic character, he didn't say anything at this time.
Liu Xinyu came to the front of the imperial study room, looked at the emperor in front of him with his back turned to her, and said softly: "Brother!"
The voice was very soft, but weak, confused, and faintly painful.
The emperor's figure trembled, but he still didn't look back.
The princess said softly: "Brother, can I talk to you alone? I'm afraid I won't have a chance in the future."
There was crying in the voice.
The emperor finally turned around slowly, but did not dare to look into Liu Xinyu's eyes. He waved to everyone around him and asked them to leave, and he and Liu Xinyu entered the royal study.
Ouyang Si looked at the slowly closing door of the Imperial Study Room, then turned to look at his sister Ouyang Qingque. Both brother and sister shook their heads at the same time, their eyes full of emotion.
Suddenly, a desperate scream came from the imperial study room.
Ouyang Si and others suddenly stood up straight.
whole body,
Stiff!
