At the beginning of the third year of Tianting, Zhou Yuan, the Taoist priest Taiyuan of the Yanhan Dynasty, took command and led an army of 100,000 Taoists to the north to Qingzhou.
In the battle of Qingzhou, Taiyuan Taoist broke through the fifth level formation and killed Su Mingde, the founder of Yangshen of the Tianhe Sword Sect, which shocked the world.
After this battle, the Yan Han Dynasty completely occupied Qingzhou. Dazai Taiyuan held the list of gods, laid a legal net, and enfeoffed the land. In March, the situation in Qingzhou was stabilized.
In early April, Taoist Taiyuan led his army back to Youzhou.
————————————————
Yanhan, the capital of the country, the imperial palace Fuyao Hall, the Yanhan Northern Expedition was a great victory, Emperor Yan held a banquet in the Fuyao Palace to reward the ministers.
After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food. After the most important event of rewarding the ministers, the banquet ended quickly and the ministers exited in an orderly manner. However, Chen Hongyu was distracted by Emperor Yan and stayed behind.
Even the Yanhan Palace at night was bright at this time, not to mention that with his humanistic and distracted cultivation, he could have made mistakes at night.
At this time, Humanity was distracted and walking in the palace with Emperor Yan.
"This Northern Expedition is our first battle in the Yan-Han Dynasty. Taiyuan, have you discovered any obvious problems?"
Chen Hongyu thought for a moment before continuing, "This Taoist army is our elite Yanhan army. They follow orders and prohibitions. They are a strong army. Naturally, there is no big problem.
Even in this Northern Expedition, the Taoist army's use of military formations to attack together made a lot of contributions to my victory over the fifth-level high-grade formation in Jiangyang County.
When conquering other counties in Qingzhou, the Taoist soldiers and generals also performed well.
However, perhaps because the victory of the Northern Expedition was too easy this time, a small wave of arrogance gradually emerged among the army.
Although it’s not a big problem, you should pay attention to it in the future.”
Hearing what Chen Hongyu said, Emperor Yan nodded slightly, "Although Yanhan won a great victory in the Northern Expedition this time, the factor that actually determined the outcome of the battle was not the Taoist troops, but the battle between the Yangshen monks.
If it weren't for the fact that I, Yan Han, had the upper hand in the battle between Yang Shen monks, you would have killed Su Mingde, and Hong Yu would have been promoted to Yuan Shen, increasing and decreasing Yang Shen monks' strength.
gap.
In Qingzhou, I'm afraid we will have to rely on these Taoist troops to fight for it, and the damage will definitely not be light.
They are still arrogant and the credit is not theirs. Where did the arrogance come from? In the future, Taiyuan, you will gather all the generals, big and small, together to reprimand and beat them.
With the influence of these reprimanded generals, the morale of the Taoist army will naturally change."
"Wei Chen takes orders!" Chen Hongyu bowed slightly and saluted.
As for why this is a small problem for Yanhan as a whole, but he, the Yangshen cultivator, still needs to personally take action, there is certainly a certain reason.
If there really was a big problem, why would it cause such a big fuss? Emperor Yan would only call them Yang Shen monks to solve it privately as soon as possible to prevent the matter from spreading and affecting the morale of the military.
On the contrary, these less important issues that cannot be ignored can be used to rectify the atmosphere in the military.
Emperor Yan did not like luxury, so the palace was relatively simple, and the decorations along the way were mostly simple.
"Do you know why I left you alone after the banquet?" Looking at Taoist Taiyuan who was half a body behind and walking slowly, Emperor Yan asked with a smile.
Hearing Emperor Yan's question, Chen Hongyu was distracted and slightly confused. Do you think I can guess your intention?
"Well, it should be that your Majesty wants to give me some important responsibility!" As he said, Chen Hongyu's face straightened, "If your Majesty asks for something, I will go through fire and water without hesitation."
"Oh?" Hearing Chen Hongyu's distracted words, a smile appeared on Emperor Yan's face. He stretched out his hand in front of him and saw a gap in space opening up.
In the gap, there is a billowing heat wave coming. Even though he has become a human being and has become a Yangshen, he can still feel the scorching heat and the faint crisis coming from it.
"Didn't you say that you don't hesitate to go through fire and water?" Emperor Yan pointed to the secret realm filled with purple spiritual flames in the gap and said, "I don't need you to go through water, I just need to go through fire."
"Uh!" Chen Hongyu's distracted face couldn't help but froze slightly, and he hesitated with some shame, "Your Majesty, in fact, as a minister, you cannot blindly listen to the emperor's orders. Sometimes you also need to make your own judgment.
As the saying goes, using copper as a mirror can straighten your clothes, and using people as a mirror can clarify gains and losses. What I have to do is..."
Seeing Chen Hongyu frowning, Emperor Yan laughed directly, "Make it up, keep making it up? I want to see what other excuses you Taiyuan can come up with."
With that said, Emperor Yan closed the secret realm with a swipe of his hand, and while taking a step, he reprimanded Humanity for being distracted, "Did I come to you to listen to your nonsense?
If there really are any other important tasks, do you think it will be your turn this time? Don’t I need to consider other Yangshen cultivators?
If you lead the army into battle every time and you get all the benefits, what will others think?"
"Ahem!" Chen Hongyu coughed lightly, "Your Majesty, please give me a clear explanation."
Emperor Yan glanced at him and said calmly, "Isn't it a great harvest from this battle in Jiangyang County?
You broke through the fifth-level formation and killed the Yang Shen Sword Cultivator. Now that you, Taiyuan, are famous all over the world, aren't your auras gathering like a rolling river?"
"Ahem, Your Majesty!" Chen Hongyu was a little embarrassed. Although the truth is such a fact, why does it feel wrong to say it in your mouth?
"Although I have obtained a large amount of Qi, the road is ruined, right? I have countless Qi but I can't use it, right?"
Hearing Emperor Yan's words, Chen Hongyu couldn't help but hesitated slightly, Your Majesty, why don't you open and pick up which pot? Why do you go out of your way to expose people's shortcomings?
However, when he heard Emperor Yan change the topic here, his mind changed a little and he already understood the meaning of Emperor Yan.
The relationship between the monarch and his ministers has been so close for so many years. As a confidant, I naturally figured out a little bit of Emperor Yan's temperament.
At this time, it was obvious that His Majesty Yan Emperor wanted to give him some benefits, so he quickly bowed and said, "I would like to thank you in advance!"
Seeing his reaction, Emperor Yan glanced at him and continued to walk forward, "You have ruined your path in this life, and there is no room for improvement above Fang Xiandao. When the underworld is established in Qingyun Realm in the future, you can
Reincarnate and rebuild, practice the golden elixir path.
However, there are high and low methods of reincarnation. I have an article on reincarnation that I can teach you just right.
From now on, you can practice the method of reincarnation first, so that after the great tribulation, you can be reincarnated and re-enter the path of immortality."
With that said, Emperor Yan turned around and pointed towards the forehead of Chen Hongyu's human clone.
Before Chen Hongyu could react, Emperor Yan's index finger had already touched his forehead. At the same time, not a single spell entered his body and slowly emerged in the sea of consciousness.
