Yuezhou, Yanmen Pass.

Since Dawu's request for compensation for King Wu's assassination by the strong man Dayan was rejected, the situation between the two dynasties has become increasingly tense.

Dayan's backer, Wang Yanbatian, led millions of troops and stationed them at Zhenwuguan and Tianyanguan respectively. They started a confrontation with Li Yuanlong, the Marquis of Xibo, and refused to give in.

In order to demonstrate the attitude of the Great Yan Dynasty, after Yan Batian led his troops to Yanmen Pass, he erected a commanding flag and led his troops outside the pass for drills every day. Layers of evil spirits soared into the sky, and loud shouts of killing could be heard at all times.

Arriving at Yanmen Pass, the sound was extremely loud.

On the other hand, looking inside Yanmen Pass, Li Yuanlong did not make any move or respond to the provocative posture of the Great Yan Dynasty, as if he was indifferent to it. He just did his part in defensive military affairs and waited for the court's orders.

at this time.

On the tower of Yanmenguan, Li Yuanlong, fully armored and with a sword hanging on his waist, stood quietly on the edge of the tower, looking at the gloomy evil energy rising from the opposite border line.

He shouted loudly, his face was calm and he didn't say a word.

On the contrary, Liu Changqing, the chief secretary in charge of internal affairs, and the three generals under Li Yuanlong, including Li Feng, Li Yu, and Li Lei, were all pale-faced and looking towards the border with gritted teeth, their indignation beyond words.

"Master Hou, that Yan Batian is too arrogant. Before, they were only practicing outside Zhenwuguan, but now they have come to the border. The provocation is so obvious. Do you still want to sit idly by and ignore it, Master Hou?"

Li Lei, who had the hottest temper, suddenly turned around, looked at Li Yuanlong and said angrily.

"good!"

"Yan Batian, this old dog, bullies people too much!"

"I think he came here specifically to demonstrate because he was defeated by the Marquis in the Battle of Baishigou twenty years ago. He was unwilling to accept it!"

Li Feng and Li Yu also said angrily.

"Then what do you think?"

Li Yuanlong said calmly: "Similarly lead the troops to the opposite side to practice? Also give them a show of strength?"

"Why bother?"

Li Yuanlong chuckled softly, "Not to mention the time, effort and money it takes, it's like a child playing house. If Yan Batian can do it, I, Li Yuanlong, can't afford to lose this person!"

After all, Liu Changqing was a civil servant and the chief scribe under Li Yuanlong. He was better educated, but at this time he frowned and said: "Master Hou, having said that, due to the influence of the other party's drills in the past few days, the soldiers under his command have been in high spirits.

If this continues, I’m afraid I won’t be able to suppress it anymore!”

"Try to suppress it as much as possible."

Li Yuanlong said calmly: "Exit training costs a lot of money. It would be better to use the money for military expenses than to use it for military expenses to make the soldiers live a better life. Therefore, there is no need to do the training!"

"Also, please tell the soldiers that there will be a battle sooner or later between Dawu and Dayan. The war cannot be fought just by doing superficial things and shouting slogans every day. Our Dawu army does not need any

It’s a drill, but if we really fight, we will never be weaker than anyone else!”

The four of them fell silent, deep in thought.

Suddenly, Li Lei's eyes lit up and he said, "I understand. What the Marquis means is that biting dogs don't bark?"

Hearing this, everyone suddenly looked at Li Lei speechlessly.

Li Yuanlong shook his head and said with a smile: "You can understand it this way. In short, try to suppress it first. The day of war is not far away!"

Liu Changqing narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "Master Hou, do you think the imperial court will order the dispatch of troops?"

"It's already obvious!"

Li Yuanlong said calmly: "Through the movements in the past three months, it is not difficult to see that our king is not a law-abiding and conservative king. Now that the internal situation has been decided, the next step must be to expand the territory and conquer other countries.

Got it!"

Liu Changqing nodded, with a hint of admiration on his face, and said: "This new king is indeed an unprecedented hero in the history of our great martial arts. In just three months, he quelled the civil strife and unified the dynasty."

"Now within the dynasty, the imperial court rules everything, and the cohesion has been greatly enhanced. Although there are still many problems, the most fundamental hidden dangers have been eliminated."

"I believe these small problems will be solved soon as time goes by. By then, the strength of our Dawu Dynasty will reach an unprecedented height!"

Li Yuanlong also nodded slightly, turned his head and looked in the direction of the royal capital, with a glimmer of light in his eyes, and said: "The world is peaceful and peaceful, and the king is indispensable, but now many of Dawu's policies that benefit the country and the people are not what ordinary people understand.

As you can imagine, in addition to the few known strangers and strong men in the court at the moment, there are probably other masters in the court!"

Liu Changqing frowned slightly and nodded: "It is said that the system of counties and counties and the imperial examination were proposed by the new prime minister Xiao He appointed by the king."

"Moreover, in addition to this prime minister, the king also appointed several ministers, all of whom have mysterious origins."

"Including Zhao Zilong, the martial general who is now quelling the beast tide, Dian Wei, the second-grade palace guard general who destroyed the Tianzhou Qi family, Cao Zhengchun, the governor of Dongchang, and the mysterious leader of the Shadow Killing Palace,

I have never heard of it before! I don’t know where the king recruited the strong men from..."

Li Yuanlong's eyes narrowed slightly, with confusion and solemnity in his eyes.

He had investigated this issue many times before, but had made no progress.

These powerful men who helped the king to pacify the world and unify the Wu Dynasty seemed to appear out of thin air, leaving no trace behind!

Think for a moment.

Shaking his head, Li Yuanlong said: "Now that even the Zhenwu Immortal Sect has announced that it has surrendered to the imperial court, there is no need to delve into these matters. We only need to know that the imperial court is still the Dawu Imperial Court. That is enough! There is no need to go through the rest.

Pay more attention and obey your orders!"

"yes!"

Liu Changqing nodded, then looked towards the opposite border, his eyes flickered, and said: "Since there will be a battle sooner or later, do you need to make some preparations in advance?"

"No need!"

Li Yuanlong waved his hand, and at the same time looked at the opposite border, and chuckled: "It is said that this Great Yan patron king has now broken through the Hedao realm. He must be eager to fight with me and cleanse the Baishi Valley twenty years ago.

What a disgrace to war!”

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Then, I will give him this opportunity to have an upright battle with him and see if he has made any progress in other aspects besides his realm over the years!

"

After saying that, Li Yuanlong's eyes suddenly showed a hint of overwhelming fighting spirit!

So what if we break through Hedao?!

Twenty years ago, this was the first time I could defeat you!

Then twenty years later, I can also defeat you for the second time!

"Report~!"

Suddenly, the sound of rapid footsteps interrupted everyone's thoughts.

Turning around, he saw a soldier walking towards him in a hurry. He cupped his hands anxiously and said, "Your Majesty, something bad is going to happen!"

"What's the matter?"

Li Yuanlong frowned.

The soldier's face turned pale: "Baishigou... all the soldiers we arranged in Baishigou were killed, and the top-grade spiritual mines in Baishigou were also intercepted!"

"What?!"

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone was shocked and angry.

Li Yuanlong's expression also changed dramatically.

Baishigou is a canyon located outside Yanmen Pass. Twenty years ago, a vein of top-quality spiritual stone was born. Because it is located on the border between the two countries, its ownership is difficult to determine. The two countries argued over this and even launched a war.

King Yan Batian, the backer of Dayan, was defeated by himself in that battle and returned home in vain. In the end, the spiritual mine fell into the hands of Dawu. Over the years, he produced many top-quality spiritual stones for Dawu.

Even the millions of soldiers at the border can be fed by this top-grade spiritual mine alone!

Unexpectedly, the spiritual mine has been lost now!

And he was uprooted?!

boom!

A terrifying military aura erupted from Li Yuanlong, suppressing all directions!

Li Yuanlong stared in the direction of the border, his voice was cold, and he gritted his teeth and said: "Yan Batian! You are looking for death!"

Liu Changqing and the others came to their senses, their eyes filled with cold murderous intent, and they looked outside the pass.

That spiritual mine was guarded by a full 200,000 troops, and there were many strong men on standby.

At this time, besides the Great Yan Dynasty, who else has the ability to kill the one hundred thousand army and uproot the spiritual mine?!

"Pass this command!"

Li Yuanlong suddenly waved his hand, his face was cold, he jumped into the air, and shouted angrily: "Switch, the army leaves the city and presses towards the border!"

"promise!"

Liu Changqing and the others looked solemn and accepted the order with their hands raised. They immediately jumped into the air and rushed towards the military camps of all parties.

Rumble!

Immediately, endless evil energy rose into the sky, and dense footsteps resounded through the city gate!

On the western tower, Li Yuanlong stood in the void, staring at the place where the evil spirits gathered in the distance, and his whole body's momentum continued to rise.

After staring for a moment, he turned around decisively and stepped out of the city gate, his face extremely cold.

This spiritual mine must not be lost!

…

"Ji Pengfei! I will give you another chance. Will you pay for the six high-grade spiritual mines?!"

Tianzhou, on the border outside Xianshan Pass.

The densely packed warrior soldiers, armed with sharp armor and terrifying in their aura, faced off against the hundreds of thousands of Dachen troops outside the opposite border, and the atmosphere was tense.

In the center of the army, Ma Jingfeng, the guard general of Xianshan Pass, stared at a middle-aged general standing in front of Dachen's army——

Dachen Dynasty, Nanshan General, Ji Pengfei!

Ma Jingfeng's face was extremely cold.

Just last night, six high-grade spiritual stone mines belonging to the Dawu Dynasty near Xianshanguan were intercepted, and all the soldiers responsible for guarding the mines died silently!

At this time, besides Ji Pengfei, who had just led his troops southward, who else could steal these six spiritual mines silently under his nose?

"This general said that this matter was not done by me, Dachen!"

Facing Ma Jingfeng's gaze, Ji Pengfei's face was indifferent, but his heart was also extremely depressed.

Although he was ordered to lead troops south to guard the border and defend against the Dawu Dynasty, he had no intention of actively sending troops against Dawu.

Therefore, during this period of time, he only did border defense and military deployment, and did not make any unnecessary actions. He also did not go out to practice provoking Dawu like Dayan's backer Wang Yanbatian.

But at this moment, Ma Jingfeng didn't know why he was crazy. He suddenly led a large army and insisted that he had robbed Dawu's six high-grade spiritual stone veins and wanted him to hand them over.

Even the corpses of dead soldiers were brought in. They said they had noses and eyes, so it didn't look like a lie.

Seeing Da Wu's defeat, although he was a little gloating and excited, he really didn't rob him!

I don’t know which Killer Thousand Swordsman did it, but this stubborn donkey thought it was him!

"Other than you, Ji Pengfei, who else can commit such a heinous case under the nose of this general?!"

Ma Jingfeng gritted his teeth, stared at Ji Pengfei, and said: "I will give you one more chance to hand over the spiritual mines and then compensate you with millions of top-grade spiritual stones. I will not hold you accountable for killing my soldiers, otherwise, there will be no blame."

This general is merciless!"

Losing a spiritual mine is a grave sin!

What's more, so many soldiers died!

Not long after he took office at Xianshan Pass, it was because he voluntarily surrendered when Dian Wei suppressed the Tianzhou rebellion that he was valued by Dian Wei. He asked the court for help and was allowed to guard Xianshan Pass!

Now that such a big thing has happened, if he just sits back and ignores it, he will probably be punished by death, and even the nine tribes will be exterminated!

Therefore, no matter what, he must get those six spiritual mines back and demand one million top-grade spiritual stones as compensation. Then he can take the initiative to go back to the court to plead guilty. Maybe there is still a glimmer of hope!

Otherwise, you will definitely die!

"I said it, and if I didn't do it, I didn't do it! If you don't believe it, you can come and try it. Are you really afraid that you won't succeed in martial arts?!"

Seeing Ma Jingfeng being aggressive and insisting that he was the murderer, Ji Pengfei's face turned cold and he snorted coldly.

"Okay, okay!"

Ma Jingfeng's face instantly became even colder, his eyes were blood red, and he gritted his teeth and said: "Kill my soldiers, seize my spiritual mines, and you are so arrogant!"

"You think the general is afraid of you?!"

"Today I will come to see what you, General Nanshan, are capable of!"

"kill!!!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Ma Jingfeng's aura suddenly exploded, he roared angrily, waved his hand decisively, and launched an attack.

"snort!"

Seeing this, Ji Pengfei's face changed slightly, and he immediately snorted coldly. He also pulled out the sword from his waist and shouted: "Kill!"

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Boom!

In an instant, evil spirits surged into the sky, and blood splattered everywhere!

A war involving nearly a million troops begins!

…

The first day of April in the Dawu calendar.

Dawu Palace, Wuwang Palace.

"I will pay my respects to the king!"

"Long live my king!"

All civil and military officials gathered in King Wu's Hall, with respectful expressions on their faces, and saluted Wu Sifan in unison, who was wearing black royal robes on the throne.

At this moment, the number of officials in the palace is much higher than last month. These are the officials personally selected by Xiao He and Dugu Xiaotian during this period to make up for some vacancies in various ministries.

After all, with the unification of the dynasty and the implementation of the county system and the imperial examination, the tasks of each ministry have become heavier.

Relying only on the few dozen people left, the task is indeed too stressful.

That's why Xiao Hecai made a suggestion to promote some capable officials under various ministries to share some of the pressure.

However, despite this, officials in various ministries are still very nervous, and many positions are still vacant.

I don't know how many officials below are jealous of this, and they work hard day and night, just to make some political achievements, attract the attention of the court, and strive to enter the court.

After all, although there are many officials in Dawu, apart from the few local feudal officials, only those who can enter the court to discuss politics can be regarded as the top officials in Dawu.

The treatment and rights are far beyond what the officials below can match!

"Pingshen!"

On the throne, Wu Sifan waved his hands lightly, wearing a golden crown, and the aura of the king became deeper and more majestic.

"If you have something to do, start to act, if nothing happens, leave the court!"

As Wu Sifan finished speaking, Cao Zhengchun, who was standing on the steps in front of the officials, stood up and shouted loudly.

"Your Majesty, I have something to report!"

Shen Wansan, the Minister of Household Affairs, stood up first and said with cupped hands.

"speak!"

Wu Sifan nodded slightly.

"Your Majesty, as the Jubao Pavilion has been cleared, the economy in our country is now in turmoil. Chambers of commerce in various places are in short supply of resources and are unable to survive. Many chambers of commerce have now gone bankrupt. I sincerely request your Majesty to temporarily lower commercial taxes until the chambers of commerce in various places are over. After this disaster is over, the original taxes will be restored!"

Shen Wansan said solemnly.

Although Jubao Pavilion was destroyed, it was too sudden, and before taking action, Yu Wenyi had already made preparations to withdraw from the Dawu Dynasty and give up the market in Dawu. He had already secretly transferred resources from various places, leaving only There was a mess waiting for him to clean up.

Although the rise of the Dawu Chamber of Commerce has alleviated some economic crises, after all, the development time of the Dawu Chamber of Commerce is too short to take all of it into account.

The previous Jubao Pavilion controlled 70% of the business of the Dawu Dynasty. Now that it has collapsed, countless forces that had financial dealings with it have been unable to recover.

The impact is really huge!

"allow!"

Hearing this, Wu Sifan nodded, his face a little solemn.

This was the chain reaction that occurred after he was plotted by Yu Wenyi and had to take action in advance to destroy the Jubao Pavilion!

Although Shen Wansan is now in charge of this matter, the economy of a country is a major matter and one must be cautious!

Wu Sifan looked at Shen Wansan and said, "You and the Prime Minister will discuss the specific matters later and submit them to me for approval."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Shen Wansan breathed a sigh of relief, then raised his hands and saluted.

Wu Sifan waved his hand, then looked at the officials and said, "Which of the other beloved ladies have something to report?"

"Your Majesty, I have something to report..."

…

Two hours later, the sun was at its zenith, and the court meeting was gradually coming to an end.

At this moment, the Dawu Dynasty is unified and all parties are at peace, so this court meeting is very important.

Almost all ministries have put forward many suggestions that will help Dawu's future development.

Wu Sifan carefully considered it, and after confirming that it was feasible, he gave the order and approved it one by one.

Subsequently, Wu Sifan announced a series of policies to encourage people's livelihood and strengthen development, and then it slowly came to an end.

"Is there any other beloved lady who has something to report?"

Seeing that the discussion gradually became quieter, Wu Sifan spoke again.

The officials looked at each other and shook their heads.

Seeing this, Wu Sifan nodded, and then his face suddenly became solemn and said: "Since everyone has nothing to say, I will make another announcement!"

Hearing this, all the officials raised their heads and looked at Wu Sifan. When they saw the serious expression on his face, their hearts skipped a beat, and they had a vague premonition of something bad.

Only Xiao He, Li Chunfeng, Shen Wansan and others already knew what Wu Sifan was planning to do, and their expressions became serious.

"My dear friends, you should still remember that three months ago, when I ascended the throne, the Great Yan Dynasty sent someone to assassinate me, right?"

Wu Sifan looked at the officials and spoke indifferently.

Everyone looked at each other for a moment, and then they all raised their hands: "My lord, please remember!"

"very good!"

Wu Sifan said coldly: "I was lucky enough to survive that day, but I am the king of Dawu, and I represent the face of our Dawu dynasty!"

"The Great Yan Dynasty dared to assassinate me. It should be an undying hatred. It would not be an exaggeration for me to send troops to the west and send troops to Great Yan to demand justice!"

"But I didn't do this, and the war spread. How innocent are the people of the two countries?"

"So I gave King Dayanren a chance to compensate me, Dawu, and settle the matter!"

"But dear friends, do you know what Dayan did?"

Having said this, Wu Sifan stood up suddenly, his face becoming cold and angry.

He looked at everyone and said coldly: "Not only did King Dayan fail to compensate, he led millions of troops to the east, stationed troops towards the border, and put great pressure on me. He showed no intention of repentance and reconciliation!"

"This is a provocation to me, and even more so to our Dawu Dynasty!"

"Our Dawu dynasty has been standing in the Eastern Barren for a thousand years, and has ruled the roost alongside the five great dynasties. How can we be insulted by this?"

Wu Sifan glanced at the officials and said slowly: "Therefore, I have thought about it for many days and decided to send troops to the Great Flame to seek justice and to promote the power of my great martial arts!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the hall fell silent.

Although they had already speculated, at this moment, Baiguan was still shocked and trembling.

The king actually wants to take action against the Great Yan Dynasty?

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "King Qi, the Eastern Barren has been peaceful for a long time, and the six dynasties have been side by side for many years. Once we take action, it will definitely break the existing pattern and plunge the Eastern Barren into chaos.

Our dynasty has succeeded in destroying Great Yan, but I am afraid that other dynasties will also attack us. This matter is of great importance, so please think twice, Your Majesty!"

After a moment of silence, Dugu Xiaotian stepped forward and spoke solemnly.

"I second the proposal!"

"I also second the proposal!"

The other officials reacted and stepped forward to speak. Their attitudes were surprisingly unanimous.

Because what Dugu Xiaotian said was not wrong.

Although the strength of the Dawu Dynasty is not what it used to be, if it breaks the current pattern of the Eastern Wasteland, it will inevitably be targeted by all the dynasties.

When the time comes, no matter how strong Dawu is, it will be difficult to resist him.

Seeing this, Wu Sifan's eyes flashed coldly, and he knew this would be the result.

If these people were not needed at this moment to stabilize the dynasty, he would have replaced them all!

A bunch of weaklings who can never stand up!

With a cold snort, Wu Sifan said: "I don't know how to handle this matter..."

"Report~!"

Before he finished speaking, anxious shouts suddenly came from outside the palace.

All the officials were confused and looked back.

Wu Sifan also frowned, looked at the generals who broke into the hall, and said in a deep voice: "What happened? Are you in such a panic?"

The general fell to his knees with a bang, his face anxious, and said: "Your Majesty, there are changes on the border!"

"The Great Yan Dynasty seized the best spiritual mines from our dynasty and killed our soldiers. Xibohou Li Yuanlong led his army out of the border to fight against the backer king of Great Yan. The war is urgent!"

"What?!"

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone suddenly became pale.

"The Great Yan Dynasty dares to take the initiative to take action against me?"

"The best spiritual mine? It should be the one outside Yanmen Pass!"

"How dare the Great Yan Dynasty do this?"

"How can this be?!"

The faces of all the officials changed dramatically, and they all felt unbelievable.

Wu Sifan was also slightly startled, and then his face immediately darkened. He looked at the general who reported the message and said, "When did it happen?"

"Just yesterday!"

The general gritted his teeth and replied.

"Very good! Very good!"

Wu Sifan's eyes were cold, he stood up and looked at the officials, and said coldly: "My dear friends, what else can you say now?"

The faces of all the officials were ugly, and they were all silent.

"snort!"

Wu Sifan sneered, then looked at Cao Zhengchun, and shouted coldly: "Pass the order to Zhao Yun and order him to lead the 'Baima Yicong' to go to Yanmen Pass to reinforce Li Yuanlong and attack the Dayan Dynasty. Within three months, I will give the Great Yan Dynasty to the generals."

Completely destroy it!"

The officials were shocked again and attacked and destroyed?

They thought that Wu Sifan just wanted to send troops to seek justice and teach the Great Yan Dynasty a lesson, but they didn't expect that he actually wanted to destroy Great Yan directly?

But after a slight hesitation, Baiguan still chose to remain silent.

Now that Da Yan has taken the initiative to hit him on the head, if he still chooses to be patient, what dignity will Da Wu have?

I'm afraid that I will completely become the laughing stock of Donghuang!

"My lord, take the order!"

Cao Zhengchun ignored the reactions of the officials, stepped forward, and respectfully received the imperial edict.

"Report~!"

At this moment, another rush of footsteps sounded.

Immediately afterwards, another anxious-looking general broke into the palace and said breathlessly: "Your Majesty, there are changes in the northern border! The Dachen Dynasty has seized my Dawu Lingshi mine and killed our generals and the generals guarding Xianshan Pass.

The soldiers went north to beg for help, but were killed by Ji Pengfei, the Nanshan general of the Dachen Dynasty. Our army suffered heavy casualties and was defeated and returned to the outside of Xianshan Pass. Xianshan Pass is in danger!"

boom!

The voice fell and the hall fell silent again.

There was a roar in everyone's mind, and they were confused again!

Dachen Dynasty?

In the end what happened?!

On the throne, Wu Sifan's expression also changed. This time he was really shocked.

Dachen Dynasty, why did you get involved?!

How is this going?

[Ding, the majesty of the king cannot be violated! The second side mission is now released: within half a year, destroy the Dachen Dynasty and promote the power of our Dawu Dynasty!]

[Rewards for completing the mission: Golden Summoning Card*1, Golden Troop Card*1, Number of Card Draws*1]

At this moment, the system prompt sound suddenly came from my mind.

Wu Sifan was slightly startled and came to his senses.

"Dachen Dynasty!"

He took a deep breath, his face became cold, turned around, looked at the northern sky, gritted his teeth and said: "How dare you bully me, Dawu, King of Dachen!"

After the words fell, he turned around suddenly and shouted angrily: "Here comes Xuan Hua Mulan!"

When the officials came back to their senses, they immediately looked at each other.

Hua Mulan?

Who is this?!

…
Chapter completed!
