Chapter 397: Times Have Changed, People Have Changed
The Battle of Xuefengling is over.
The impact is not insignificant.
The Daqian Army is temporarily stationed around Xuefengling.
Zhang Zhongjing immediately led the Dange people to carry out emergency treatment, and Zhang Zhongjing even personally inspected the generals in order to prevent them from leaving original injuries.
Zhang Zhongjing alone can defeat hundreds of millions of soldiers, it is no exaggeration.
And after this war.
Take a short break.
Within the Shengxuan Dynasty.
The defeat of Xue Fengling and the death of the Holy Saint deeply enveloped the entire empire.
That dull force was like rising black smoke, covering the sky and making the sky grow darker.
The dull and oppressive atmosphere oppressed the hearts of every Shengxuan strongman like a mountain, and there was no joy or laughter in the past.
Everyone is in a depressed mood.
Think about the next direction of the empire.
Returned in disastrous defeat.
The Shengxuan Dynasty has never experienced such misery.
If you can't take Xue Fengling, you will lose the Holy Spirit.
This was a huge blow to the powerful Shengxuan man who had invincible confidence in the past.
Throughout the court, many people were dejected.
Since Da Qian arrived, they have not had a single day of peace.
Their confidence was severely trampled on by Da Gan.
Gu Tianyou and other strong men no longer clamored as before. After all, to be fair, if anyone were to take Yu Xiong's position, they would probably end up in the same end.
"Your Majesty, this time we were tricked by Zhuge Liang. He deceived us with his holy cultivation. Otherwise, even if he laid out eight formations, we would not have fallen into the trap!"
Yang Yu shouted.
His eyes were full of unwillingness.
They were deceived!
"Dagan people are too insidious and cunning, Zhuge Liang hides too deeply!"
Hongshan Road.
He has lived in the Sea of Ten Thousand Demons for thousands of years and has seen the cruelty of countless demons, but compared to Zhuge Liang's schemes, they are nothing like clouds and mud.
In one battle, countless strong men were killed.
The decisive battle between countries is the most brutal.
"Failure is defeat. No excuse can save the situation. What you need to do is why you failed. Learn from the experience of failure and prepare for the next victory. It is useless to immerse yourself in past failures."
Emperor Shengxuan was not furious in the court, but was extremely calm.
He doesn't blame anyone.
He also watched this battle from beginning to end.
The strong men fought well, and the soldiers of each legion were also brave.
If anyone should bear the greatest responsibility, it would be him, the emperor.
"Your Majesty, after this battle, the situation between the enemy and us has fundamentally changed. There are some things I don't want to say, but I must say that we will not be able to take the initiative to launch an offensive war against Qian!"
King Dingxin thought for a long time before saying this.
Wow! The court was in an uproar.
King Dingxin’s words are a bit treacherous.
This already means that the Shengxuan Dynasty is unable to attack Dagan anymore.
Some people have already guessed it, but they dare not say it outright.
"King Dingxin, be careful what you say!" a courtier whispered.
"As a minister, you must seek truth from facts." King Dingxin shook his head.
Emperor Shengxuan did not directly respond to King Dingxin.
He knows his heart better than anyone else, but there are some words that cannot come out of his mouth.
"Your Majesty, the Daqian army is currently resting and recuperating in Xuefengling. There is no sign of withdrawal or movement of troops yet, but we have received news that the Fan family has pledged allegiance to Daqian."
Gu Tianyou was telling the news.
Allegiance to the Fan family.
None of them were surprised.
After all, fighting with Ganjun has already made his attitude clear.
But this is not good news. The Fan family's support has made Daqian stronger.
"The three forces formed by one clan, one sect and one origin have also collapsed. This time they were taken advantage of by the Qian Kingdom. Your Majesty, we can make a big fuss out of this. Can we win over Bingyuan and contain Qian?"
A white-haired old man said.
There is no eternal alliance.
There are only eternal benefits.
When there is a contrast in power, the ice sheet can be exploited.
"I'm afraid it's useless. The ice fields now are no longer what they used to be."
King Dingxin shook his head.
After hearing the discussions among the courtiers, Emperor Shengxuan thought like lightning in his heart. The key to this defeat and the difficulty in controlling Qian's army was that he could not have suppressive power against Emperor Qian.
If he could suppress Qian Emperor and even kill him, this blow would be nothing.
But he has an extremely tenacious character and can accept temporary defeat, but never admits defeat.
Knowing shame and then being brave is his motto.
In the humiliation, motivate yourself and make yourself stronger and stronger.
"Gandei!"
Emperor Shengxuan's gaze penetrated the void.
He will definitely kill Emperor Qian in order to wash away his shame.
"The whole country is preparing for war, recruiting new troops, ordering each legion to be ready for war at any time, and keeping an eye on the movement of the army."
"Emperor Qian is ambitious and will not withdraw his troops easily. However, Gu predicts that he is taking a temporary rest and is very likely to send troops to conquer again in a short period of time. Therefore, all legions must be fully prepared."
"The situation in Xuantian has changed. The defeat of Xuefengling must be washed away with blood."
Emperor Shengxuan issued an order.
No matter what the battle situation is.
The Shengxuan Dynasty will never admit defeat.
...
And at this time.
Ancestor Fan has returned to the ice field.
He looked relaxed and had a calm mind. He was not as worried as before when he lost his clan, and he had thicker thighs to hold him.
"Holy Lord Tianhong."
Ancestor Fan personally found Holy Lord Tianhong.
The two of them were sitting in a pavilion, looking at each other.
"Ancestor Fan, you really disappoint me."
Holy Lord Tianhong shook his head: "I originally thought that you fought with Daqian just for revenge, but I didn't expect that you turned to Daqian. You didn't want to be the dog of Shengxuan Dynasty at the beginning, how could you be willing to be the dog of Daqian? .”
His disappointment came from the bottom of his heart.
After all, Patriarch Fan betrayed the three forces and was also betraying him.
"Forced by the situation, the general trend is coming. Even though I am the Holy Saint, I cannot stop it."
Patriarch Fan was not angry, he just smiled and said: "And I am not Da Gan's dog, I am Da Gan's minister, and Your Majesty is my emperor."
"Is there a difference?"
Holy Lord Tianhong stared at Patriarch Fan and said, "I don't understand. The Shengxuan Dynasty was so powerful back then, but you didn't even take refuge in it. Why are you willing to take refuge in Daqian?"
He couldn't understand.
"The grace of saving life comes twice."
"Moreover, times have changed. You see, I am so relaxed now. That's because I don't need to think about the overall situation. I only need to complete the tasks assigned to me by His Majesty."
"I would argue that I don't want to join the Shengxuan Dynasty, but I don't have to argue with Da Qian."
"There are some things I can't say to you right now."
Patriarch Fan said.
He told the truth.
The news that Zhang Zhongjing is the Holy Saint is a secret of the empire. Knowing that His Majesty is hiding a trump card against the Shengxuan Dynasty, he cannot reveal it now.
"Tell me, your purpose for coming to me is to be Emperor Qian's lobbyist and make me loyal to Emperor Qian."
Holy Lord Tianhong is not entangled in some issues.
"I came here because I took the initiative to ask for help. As for the emperor's attitude, I have asked whether it would be better for Tianhong Shengzong to be loyal to him. If I can't be loyal to His Majesty, I won't force him. Everything depends on you."
Patriarch Fan said: "You and I have been friends for many years. Let me show you a clear path. Daqian does not necessarily need Tianhong Shengzong, but you need Daqian Dynasty."
"If you are loyal to Daqian, can Tianhong Shengzong continue to exist?"
Holy Lord Tianhong asked a very sharp question.
Zongmen and Fan family are different.
The Fan family can continue to exist as a family in the future.
"No, His Majesty's will is very overbearing. There will be no sects in a country. Everything is dominated by the emperor."
Patriarch Fan admitted.
"My efforts are to help the Tianhong Holy Sect continue to exist forever. If the sect does not survive, what is the point?"
The way of Holy Master Tianhong.
"But the Tianhong Sheng Sect's Taoism can survive. If you join the Great Qian, you can learn anything that is suitable for Tianhong's Holy Dharma. If you continue the Taoism and the Supreme Holy Taoism, many people will learn it. This is the promise I can give."
Ancestor Fan advised: "His Majesty's ambition to be a hegemon is bound to unify the ice fields. Tianhong, I don't give you many choices."
"You have changed." Holy Lord Tianhong said.
"Really? I have changed, and people will always change."
Ancestor Fan smiled: "I won't say too much about some things. You know the pros and cons very well. You should know that the three forces have existed in name only, and the past cannot go back."
Holy Lord Tianhong was silent.
After a long time, he said: "Let me think about it."
"Of course, this is a big deal, so you have to think about it. I thought about it for a long time before I figured it out. You still have time. Before Da Qian becomes the overlord of Xuantian, you still have time. Wherever you go, everything is in your hands. "
After Patriarch Fan finished speaking, he stood up and left.
Looking at the back of Patriarch Fan, Holy Master Tianhong fell into deep thinking for a long time.
"Original owner, Patriarch Fan came here and met with Holy Lord Tianhong."
In the ice and snow.
The Holy Frost goes to meet the Lord of the Icefield.
Worried.
Da Gan is so powerful. In just a short period of time, he has disintegrated the three forces that were not even disintegrated by the Shengxuan Dynasty.
"I know."
The Lord of the Icefield looked very calm.
"What should we do? The Fan family has confirmed their surrender, and Holy Lord Tianhong may have many ideas. Daqian and Shengxuan are both countries, and we are caught in the middle."
The Holy Frost also laments the difficult situation.
"Nothing can be done."
The Lord of the Icefield said in short words, "This is a trend. Xuantian has changed, and the three forces have also changed. As you said, the Icefield is in the gap, and everyone wants to annex it."
Her inability to become a Saint Ancestor means that she does not have the strength to influence the general trend.
But the more anxious you are, the less likely you are to achieve anything.
The Holy Frost shook his head.
She knew that, as the original owner said, there was no way.
Hope to break through the Saint Ancestor?
That's too difficult.
"Original owner, something can be expected. Emperor Qian is competing with Emperor Shengxuan for the position of hegemony. However, the battle for hegemony is particularly cruel. The tragic battle at Xuefengling is far from enough. And I think this is also an opportunity for the two tigers to compete. , one of them will be injured, or even both of them will be injured, and they will definitely be beaten to a bloody head."
The Holy Path of Frost.
Emperor Shengxuan no longer had any intention of targeting them.
And Emperor Qian's attitude was also very clear.
As long as Bingyuan doesn't interfere with it and sabotage the Daqian Army's operations, it won't intentionally target them.
This is opportunity.
"If I can become the Saint Ancestor before the Xuantian Overlord is decided, Bingyuan will still have a chance to deal with it. But if not, Bingyuan will have no chance. From now on, Bingyuan will not take any action."
The Lord of the Icefield has a very clear understanding of the situation.
When she becomes the Saint Ancestor, everything is easy to talk about.
Otherwise, you can only drift with the general trend.
The Holy Frost nodded.
They are helpless and unable to decide the direction of Xuantian.
