Even though Wei Yao had a special physique, she found that her lifespan was plummeting after going through so much trouble.
"Drinking and sex are harmful to the body!" Wei Yao made up her mind, "From today on, I will quit drinking!"
There were too many heirs, and Wei Yao could not keep them all by his side.
So, she began to send some of her older heirs to various places and let them guard one area.
Wei Yao is also troubled. He has been having fun and his cultivation level has not improved. If in a few years, Zhang Beichen reaches the holy realm and he is still at the ninth level, wouldn't he have to leave before Zhang Beichen?
When she thought that after her death, Ying Yin and Han Mengshu would occupy Zhang Beichen and steal the Wei Dynasty, she felt it was impossible.
"I also want to reach the holy realm!" Wei Yao began to think about how to practice.
Although she has some knowledge of various schools of thought, she is not proficient in them.
Wei Yao asked the female officials around him, and one of them gave some advice.
"Your Majesty, my family was poor when I was young, and I was fostered in a Taoist temple. There was a Taoist nun in this Taoist temple, who was romantic by nature, but had strong cultivation. She was proficient in the secret of Yin and Yang cultivation. If Your Majesty is interested, I can look for this Taoist nun.
I ask for this secret method for Your Majesty!"
When Wei Yao heard this, her interest increased greatly. Isn't this technique tailor-made for her? It can have fun and improve her cultivation!
She immediately said: "Okay, I will order you to find this Taoist nun and the secret method. As long as you can find it, I will reward you heavily!"
"As you command!"
[The female officer was ordered to find the Taoist nun. After a year, she found the Taoist nun. 】
…
"My name is Leng Yue. I have met Your Majesty." What appeared in front of Wei Yao was an extremely charming woman.
Her skin is as white and tender as a baby, her figure is hot, and her every move and smile is alluring.
The female officer introduced: "Taoist Sister Lengyue is over a hundred years old this year. She is still young and has advanced cultivation!"
Wei Yao was greatly surprised. As the emperor of the Wei Dynasty, even if he had the protection of heaven and fortune, there was no guarantee that he would be able to remain beautiful until he was a hundred years old.
This Taoist nun is over a hundred years old, but she still looks like an eighteen-year-old girl! If I could learn such a secret technique, wouldn't I be able to charm Zhang Beichen to death, let alone simulated time and space, even in real time and space?
She immediately said: "What secret method does the Taoist nun have? Can you let me see it?"
Taoist Sister Lengyue smiled slightly and said, "It's a trivial matter. Your Majesty, please take a look!"
As she spoke, she pointed at Wei Yao. Suddenly, Wei Yao seemed to see special scenes.
Those were scenes of yin and yang practice between men and women. Some of them made her blush, and some of them opened her eyes!
In this kind of practice, the two of them can absorb the spiritual power of heaven and earth, achieve mutual success, and even break through to the holy realm!
Wei Yao was overjoyed and said: "This method is very wonderful. I will try it first. If it works, I will reward you!"
…
[A few days later, you summoned Zhang Beichen to stay in the palace. You tried the newly learned method. Sure enough, this method made you happier and improved your cultivation. 】
[You greatly rewarded Taoist Sister Lengyue and kept her by your side, asking for advice and learning from time to time.]
[In order to further improve your cultivation, you also began to travel around the world to lift the seal of the Nine Provinces Dragon Vein. 】
[You summon the skilled craftsmen from all over the world and ask them to forge the Wei Dynasty’s national artifact—the Mountain and River Shield.]
…
Zhang Beichen hung up and came back and found that great changes had taken place in the Wei State. The country's national power was booming, and Wei Yao had also come up with many new tricks.
"There are too many heirs!" Zhang Beichen discovered that Wei Yao not only granted vassal status to his own heirs, but also granted vassal status to his, Ying Yinren, and Han Mengshu's heirs.
Over the years, he, Ying Yin and Han Mengshu gave birth to a total of four children.
Because there were so many children, Zhang Beichen had almost no time to teach them, so he had to hire another famous teacher to teach them.
The basic attributes of these descendants are good, but their personal abilities are different.
"Forget it, I don't have the energy to care about them now, let's look around first." Zhang Beichen turned his attention to the north and south directions.
The first is the Southern Barbarian countries in the south. After the Wei Dynasty unified the world, the Southern Barbarian countries actually formed an alliance in order to deal with the threat of the Wei Dynasty.
They gathered in the temple in southern Xinjiang and united to resist the Wei Dynasty. In order to expand their sphere of influence, these countries have been invading and occupied some lands.
In the north, needless to say, the Hun King Maotai rose again, unified the grasslands and established the Hun Empire.
In order to deal with these threats, Zhang Beichen wrote to Emperor Wei to ask her to take precautions.
[Emperor Wei appointed Han Mengshu as the general to conquer the south, leading an army of 500,000 to conquer the southern barbarians.]
[Emperor Wei appointed Ying Yin as the general to conquer the north, leading an army of 500,000 to march against the Xiongnu.]
"I really have foresight!" Wei Yao was very pleased with her decision. After conquering Ying Yin and Han Mengshu, she could let them do their work and keep Zhang Beichen by her side.
[Recommended, Yeguo Reading is really easy to use. Download it here www. Come and try it. 】
…
Zhang Beichen didn't think so. He thought that it shouldn't be a problem for Han Mengshu to lead people to fight against the Nanman.
The key lies in the Huns!
The previous Qin Dynasty could not defeat the Xiongnu even if it had an army of 500,000.
The Huns' cavalry was very strong and the grasslands were vast. The infantry were like a group of rabbits on the grasslands. They could only be beaten if they went there.
The reason why Zhao was able to defeat the Xiongnu before was because Zhao itself had been developing cavalry. But in this round of Wei, the main Xuanwu army is heavy infantry!
If the heavy infantry goes to the grassland, aren't they just turtles who can only be beaten? Sooner or later they will be played to death by the Huns!
The Wei Dynasty also had a lot of cavalry, but after all, they were not as good as the tiger and leopard cavalry of the previous Dynasty Zhao.
Zhang Beichen thought, he had to find another way to deal with this round.
He opened the map and looked at the other side of the Xiongnu, towards the Western Region!
Behind the Xiongnu, there is a relatively powerful country in the Western Regions - Da Yueshi!
The Dayue clan had a mortal enemy with the Xiongnu, because they were not originally in the Western Regions, but nomadic in the Hexi area.
Because they were defeated by the Xiongnu, they fled to the Western Regions and established the Dayue clan.
Their first generation king’s head was made into a drinking vessel by the Huns and used for drinking. This is an indelible blood feud!
"If we can unite with the Dayue clan to attack the Xiongnu, and attack from the front and back, we can destroy the Xiongnu in the shortest time, so as to avoid long nights and dreams!" Zhang Beichen knew very well that the simulation situation in each game is different, and he cannot think that the previous game conquered the grassland.
The game can be achieved in the same way.
What if the Hun King gets a new plug-in from that beast god in this round?
[You wrote to Emperor Wei, requesting to be sent as an envoy to the Dayue clan. Emperor Wei rejected your request and arranged for someone else to be sent as an envoy to the Dayue clan.]
Zhang Beichen was speechless. Wei Yao had tied him here and wouldn't let him leave at all.
"Let others go as envoys, as long as they can achieve their goals." Zhang Beichen thought to himself.
[Half a year later, news came from the grassland. The envoy you sent out was caught by the Huns, their head was cut off, and the skull was made into a chamber pot and sent back to the Wei Dynasty.]
If you want to reach Dayuezhi, you have to cross the grassland. When crossing the grassland, you will definitely not be able to carry enough food and drinking water. Therefore, you need to exchange with the grassland tribes, and you may be captured by the other party.
…
"Damn it, this King of the Huns really doesn't take me seriously!" Wei Yao was furious. His envoy was humiliated in this way, which was humiliating himself.
"Where is Ying Yin? Let her send troops to the Huns!"
Wei Yao once again urged the Ying Yin people to go to war.
The Ying Yin people in the north were also helpless. Wei Yao gave her 500,000 men, of which only tens of thousands of cavalry were available.
Others, the Yingyin people, asked them to repair the Great Wall and build forts on the border mainly for defense.
She believes that if the cavalry is not well-trained and attacks blindly, they will go to the grassland to die!
…
[The Ying Yin people led an army to attack the grassland and defeated several small tribes, but they did not go deep into the grassland because they could not keep up with supplies. 】
When Zhang Beichen saw the news, he felt that it was still not possible and that he would have to send an envoy to Da Yueshi himself.
[You write to Emperor Wei again, requesting that Da Yuezhi be sent as an envoy.]
Wei Yao wanted to refuse, but at this time Taoist Aunt Lengyue advised: "Your Majesty, Yin and Yang cultivation also requires moderation. If Your Majesty keeps practicing dual cultivation with the Prime Minister, going too far is not enough."
"That's it." Wei Yao was reluctant to give up, but she had no choice but to approve Zhang Beichen's request and asked him to recruit an elite cavalry from the army to accompany him as an envoy to the Dayue clan.
…
After receiving permission, Zhang Beichen immediately started preparations.
There were too many people and it was easy for the Xiongnu to detect them. So he selected a team of twenty people and sent them as envoys to Da Yuezhi.
[You disguised yourself as businessmen, walked all the way, and soon came to the grassland. 】
[The grassland is vast, you find two guides to lead you to Da Yueshi.]
[After two months of trekking, you have gone deep into the grassland. On this day, you discovered that a guide was missing.]
Zhang Beichen grabbed another guide and asked, "Where is your companion? Why is he missing?"
The guide said tremblingly: "Sir, there are ferocious beasts on the grassland. He may have encountered a ferocious beast and been eaten by it!"
This is a very common thing on the grassland, but Zhang Beichen doesn't think so.
These guides themselves have a certain level of strength and are familiar with the terrain, so they can run away even if they encounter vicious beasts.
They are currently missing. It is possible that they suspected their identity and went to tip off the Xiongnu tribe.
After the King of the Xiongnu learned that the Wei Dynasty was trying to send an envoy to contact the Yuezhi, he issued a reward. Whoever could catch the Wei envoy would be richly rewarded!
"Everyone, listen!" Zhang Beichen said to everyone on the mission, "Get up immediately, we are leaving now!"
They had just set up camp and were leaving now, feeling a little tired.
[You leave quickly. In less than two hours, the sound of horse hooves can be heard behind you. More than a hundred Huns are chasing you on horseback, and the missing guide is among them!]
"It is indeed him!" Zhang Beichen ordered everyone, "Form up!"
They are exhausted and if they run around, they will be overtaken and killed by the Huns sooner or later!
Instead of doing this, it's better to fight it out, with more than 20 people fighting against more than 100 people, and one person only needs to kill five!
The people selected by Zhang Beichen are all the best among the best, seven-level masters per capita. His own cultivation level has now reached the semi-saint level, so it should not be a problem to fight against ordinary Huns soldiers.
But Zhang Beichen still underestimated the opponent. The ones who came were not ordinary cavalry, but the cavalry led by Hu Yanxiao, the number one warrior in the army of Monan King Zuoxie.
Hu Yanxiao rode on the wild boar king, holding a giant axe, and laughed and said: "As expected, he is from the Wei state. Today, the Japanese general is really lucky. He just happened to take your heads back to receive the reward!"
"Kill!" Zhang Beichen did not reply, but ordered the cavalry to charge.
Twenty cavalrymen fought together, and Zhang Beichen fought against Hu Yanxiao.
He fought with Hu Yanxiao for several rounds, but there was no winner. However, the cavalry under his command was stronger than Hu Yanxiao's fierce cavalry, and he actually had the advantage.
Zhang Beichen saw that he could not take down Hu Yanxiao for a while, so he seized the opportunity and stabbed the Wild Boar King in the eye. The Wild Boar King screamed in pain and threw Hu Yanxiao down.
[You attack Hu Yanxiao again. Relying on your rich combat experience, you finally stab Hu Yanxiao in the abdomen with a spear, seriously injuring him. Then, you cut off Hu Yanxiao’s head with a sword. The remaining Huns soldiers saw this and scattered.
And run away!]
"Stop chasing us!" Zhang Beichen ordered his men, "Evacuate quickly, there will definitely be more ferocious riders coming to chase us!"
"yes!"
[You and others fled all the way, and as expected, the King of the Huns mobilized fierce horsemen to search for your traces on the grassland. 】
[After another three months, you finally escaped from the Xiongnu territory to the Western Regions and entered the territory of the Great Yueshi.]
…
"The envoy from the State of Wei entered Da Yueshi?" At the Mobei Palace of the Xiongnu, Da Chan Yu Maotai was furious, "A bunch of trash, even if you catch a few people on the grassland, you won't be able to catch them!"
The subordinates were worried: "Chanyu, the envoy from the State of Wei is going to Dayuezhi. He must want to unite with Dayuezhi to attack us! We must make preparations in advance!"
"A mere Da Yuezhi wants to fight against the Huns? I should really destroy them first!" Maotai was very disdainful of the Da Yuezhi.
The Da Yueshi just couldn't survive and were driven out of the tribe.
If he hadn't been worried about Da Wei, Maotai would have led his troops to destroy Da Yueshi!
Da Yueshi is weak, but after all it is a country, founded by nomadic people, with hundreds of thousands of cavalry.
If the Yuezhi and the Wei Dynasty really join forces, the Xiongnu will still be in danger of being destroyed.
So, Maotai ordered: "Send envoys to the Dayue clan and ask them to hand over the envoys of the Wei Dynasty, otherwise I, the Xiongnu, will definitely lead my troops to destroy the Dayue clan!"
"yes!"
…
As soon as Zhang Beichen and his party entered Da Yueshi territory, they identified themselves to the local officials. When they learned that they were envoys from Da Wei, the officials immediately escorted them to the capital.
Zhang Beichen and others stayed here, waiting for the King of Dayue's visit.
[You have been waiting for two months, but King Dayuezhi still has not received you.]
…
At their residence, Zhang Beichen himself was also thinking of a solution. Because they were being hunted by the Huns, they threw away some of the gifts they had brought from the Wei Dynasty.
Now, they only have some money and jewelry with them, which can be used locally.
Zhang Beichen used money to make friends with Vika, a local nobleman, and inquired about the situation of King Dayuezhi.
"Weika, it has been two months since our envoy came to Dayuezhi. Why hasn't the King of Dayuezhi received us? Is there something we did wrong?" Zhang Beichen asked the nobles wearing foreign costumes in front of him.
Vika said: "Friend, you don't know something. It's not that my king refuses to receive you, but that there is no king in the Great Yueshi now!"
"Ah? What's going on?" Zhang Beichen asked.
Vika hesitated a little, and Zhang Beichen handed him a small box and said, "This is my little thought, please accept it."
Vika opened the box and saw that it turned out to be a bright and round night pearl. His eyes brightened and he immediately smiled and said, "Actually, all the nobles know this, but no one told you."
"Our King Dayuezhi died of illness more than two months ago. But he left no heirs, so now everyone is vying for the throne, so no one will come to meet you!"
Zhang Beichen asked again in detail, and then he understood the cause and effect.
The previous King of the Dayue clan was so dissolute that his body was crippled very early. A month before they came, he died suddenly on a woman's bed.
And because he was physically exhausted very early, he had no heirs.
Nowadays, people within the Da Yuezhi are fighting for power, and no one cares about the Wei envoys. Even when the Xiongnu asked people to hand them over, no one paid attention.
…
"Sir, what should we do now?" the subordinate asked Zhang Beichen.
Zhang Beichen thought for a while and said: "We finally came to Da Yueshi, so of course we can't just go back empty-handed."
"Wait and see, wait for the new King of Dayuezhi to take office."
[You have waited for another two months in Dayuezhi, but still no new king has appeared. There seems to be a risk of civil strife in Dayuezhi. 】
Now Zhang Beichen can't wait any longer. If you continue like this, you will never elect a king, and you will even split up. Isn't this plan to defeat the Xiongnu ruined?
Therefore, he decided to intervene in this matter to see if there was any room for maneuver.
Zhang Beichen came to Zhao Weika again to find out more and understood the current situation.
In Da Yueshi country, there are currently six forces vying for the throne.
After Dayuezhi established the country, he enfeoffed five Jihou tribes, namely Xiumi, Shuangmi, Guishang, Zhidun and Dumi.
These five princes are just like the princes in the Central Plains, possessing territory, armies and powerful forces.
Among them, Jihou of Guishuang was the most powerful. He was dissatisfied with being ruled and simply established himself as king, calling himself the King of Guishuang.
His Kushan Kingdom is now no less powerful than the Great Yueshi.
As soon as King Dayuezhi died, King Kushan wanted to annex Dayuezhi, so he also fought for the throne.
The other four major princes also coveted the throne.
In addition to these five major Xihous, there is also a force within the Da Yuezhi royal family that is capable of competing for the throne.
That is Mrs. Lanxiang, the former queen of King Oyuezhi.
Mrs. Lanxiang married King Dayuezhi at the age of thirteen. She was a local noble. She was extremely beautiful and was known as the most beautiful woman in the area.
King Dayuezhi was lustful, but he never touched her. Because the Dayuezhi royal family migrated from Hexi, they wanted to ensure that their royal bloodline was pure, so they did not marry Mrs. Lanxiang.
The reason why he married her as queen was just to marry into the local nobles.
In this way, until Mrs. Lanxiang was twenty-eight years old, King Dayuezhi died!
Mrs. Lanxiang also wanted to control the Da Yueshi, but the five Xihous did not agree. All parties were fighting endlessly, and now there was a tendency to raise armies.
…
"Sir, if we want to form an alliance with the Great Yuezhi, we must choose a party and help him ascend the throne and become the king of the Great Yuezhi." said the subordinate.
Zhang Beichen nodded and analyzed: "The one who has the best chance of winning the throne now is actually King Guishang. He has many soldiers and generals, and sufficient food and grass. He can suppress the other four major princes by himself!"
