Mu Bai gave three orders before he arrived at the battle, and the Tao was all about "appeasing the hearts of the army, sticking to the war, and waiting for the times to change!"

The soldiers originally thought that there was a great commander who could counterattack and win, but they never thought that it was a Confucian who only knew how to defend! The morale that was already low was even more plummeting at this moment, and it was impossible to hold on for three consecutive months, and miraculously only lost two cities.

The enemy army has been unable to attack for a long time, and the grain and grass have long been exhausted, Mu Bai saw that the enemy's troops had been defeated, and they had become the end of a strong crossbow. Then he sent out the army of the country, and for several months, the enemy country was repeatedly defeated, and all the previously lost cities were recovered. Later, he respected the emperor's order to counterattack the enemy country, and in March, he fought until the enemy country's imperial capital, where Mu Bai led the army, the people did not commit any crimes, only took the enemy army, officials, and the people everywhere were seriously taxed and exploited, and only took the political dignitaries when they saw the arrival of the armies of other countries, and did nothing to the ordinary people.

After the annexation of the enemy country, the national strength of the Yan State became stronger and stronger, Mu Bai returned to the division and resumed his life, and the emperor led a hundred officials out of the city to meet each other: Qing took the coffin "death advice" at the time of the national disaster, and was ordered to save the people of Li in the time of fire and water, and defeated the enemy country in an instant.

Seeing this, Mu Bai hurriedly knelt down on one knee: "How can the minister He De receive such a great gift from His Majesty." ”

On the second day, the emperor announced to the world: "Feng Mubai is the candidate of the town and the country, and worships the prince." ”

Another year has passed, and the national strength that had been depleted by the war has been restored, and the grain taxes brought by the land collected from the enemy country have "far exceeded" that year.

The emperor of Yan State tasted the sweetness and even discussed the invasion of other countries, Mu Bai admonished him, and because of the consideration of the face of the town and the country, the emperor withdrew the proposal several times. But the more time passed, the emperor's "ambition" also grew stronger, knowing that the town of the country would come to admonish, the emperor transferred him to the north in advance to guard the frontier, and then sent the emperor to raise two million troops to attack the neighboring southern Chu country, the southern country of Chu was originally narrow and the people were few, that could defend such a fierce attack, only a few months, the southern Chu country was destroyed.

When several countries heard that the emperor was reorganizing his troops and horses, they were already in a panic, and finally at the suggestion of Zhongshan State, the four countries secretly formed an alliance.

Mu Bai, who was guarding the north, heard that the emperor was moving again, and hurriedly waved his army south, wanting to stop the emperor's army, which had become arrogant. Unfortunately, when he rushed to the south, the news of defeat had already arrived.

Zhongshan first defeated again and again to lure the army deep into the hinterland, and then the four countries each sent a million troops, a total of four million troops, and flanked the Yan army before and after. The sneak attack was taken by surprise, and its strength was twice that of the Yan State, and the soldiers defending the country were far above the Yan State, and the defeat of the Yan State was nothing but nothing, and if they were defeated, the family and the country would be lost!

In this battle for 14 consecutive days, the enemy lost one million, and only 300,000 remnants of the two million elites of Yan broke through.

When Emperor Yan heard the news, he fell ill on the spot and did not wake up.

A few days later, when he woke up and asked about the military situation, when he knew that Zhen Guohou did not wait for the emperor's order to send troops to guard the south, the emperor couldn't help but hide his face and cry, back then, it was the "old scholar" who helped him calm the danger of the society, and it was the "old scholar" who persuaded him not to underestimate the enemy's invasion.

He didn't hate the scholar for transferring troops without authorization, he only hated himself for not listening to his advice and causing a million troops to be burned!

A few days of the soldiers of the four countries pressed to the border of Yan State, Zhenguo Hou led 700,000 Zhenbei Army, 300,000 remnants of the army to guard the city pass, for dozens of days, the enemy army did not advance at all, so the two armies faced each other for more than three months, when the people of Yan State, the whole country celebrated. The enemy army did not know when to capture the three members of Zhenguohou's family, old and young, and at this time, his old wife and a pair of children had been escorted to the front.

The enemy forced Mu Bai to surrender, "a big country does not exist, there is no small family", but Mu Bai is now the pillar of a country, behind him are thousands of Yan people, if he surrenders to the enemy today, it is not only his family that will die, but also tens of millions of people, compatriots of Yan State.

The enemy country called for three days in a row, Mu Bai couldn't bear the pain, the enemy army has three million, and they only have 700,000 soldiers and horses, and the 300,000 remnants of the army have no combat power, he can only wait for the monarch of Yan State to transfer troops and horses to support as soon as possible.

In another half a month, the enemy attacked the city more than ten times, and was repelled by his troops more than ten times. Finally, the reinforcements arrived, looking at the 500,000 soldiers and horses that arrived, Mu Bai breathed a sigh of relief, if the reinforcements did not come again, he was afraid that the Yan army would be dragged to death by the enemy.

He never expected that after he waited for 500,000 reinforcements to repel the enemy, he ushered in the siege of five million allied troops, these four countries were afraid, they gathered the strength of the three kingdoms again, and only came to Yan State, but this time it was not to conquer the city, but to force Yan to hand over Mu Bai, and hand over Mu Bai The seven countries are willing to sign an alliance for a hundred years without violating an inch of land within the boundaries of Yan State.

Mu Bai originally thought that the emperor would be forced to hand over his old decay, but this time he was wrong again, the monarch of Yan State was rare and hard, and in the face of the "danger of losing the country", he issued a letter to declare: "The whole country is ready for war, the country can be destroyed, the family can be destroyed, and no subject will be sacrificed"

In front of the army, Mu Bai smiled, with a sincere smile, "The country will not live up to him, he will not live up to the country"!

In front of the battle, a white-robed military general galloped to the enemy camp and shouted in a sad voice: "Our army commander Zhen Guohou asked the last general to come to the marshal of the Seven Nations Alliance, I wish you to sign an alliance before the army, and I hope that you will not cross the border of our Yan country within a hundred years!

In another three days, the covenant was delivered, looking at the covenant, Mu Bai looked up to the sky and laughed: "In exchange for my remnants, return the Yan Kingdom to a hundred years of stability, it's worth it!

"Wait for me to write a bloody letter, and you will send it to Your Majesty. ”

"General!"

The generals knelt down and wept silently: "Can't you fight with them, I'm willing to die on the battlefield and follow the general!"

"Presumptuous!"

Mu Bai scolded the generals and said, "What nonsense!"

Ben General's last military order: "After I die, you must not avenge me, and you must not go out of the army without authorization! If you violate the military order, you will be immediately killed!"

"General!"

Looking at Mu Bai who walked out of the city, all the soldiers in the city knelt down on one knee to see him off, and they all cried!

At this time, the sunset slowly set, and the night gradually covered the earth, and the figures in front of the two armies looked so tall and majestic. At a time of crisis, the country did not abandon him, so how could he abandon his compatriots in the Yan Kingdom! Since ancient times, loyalty and filial piety have been difficult to achieve both, but today, the country he exchanged his life for stability and also to keep his relatives safe! For him, it was worth it!

Xiaoshan Sect, two days later, Zhang Shu was eliminated on the second day! The bell shook him out of range.

Looking at Mu Bai who opened his eyes, Zhang Shu's eyes were filled with admiration and envy.

After he came out, the sect master told him that in the past 1,300 years, three people have passed the third level, and the first generation of the sect master of the drama recorded that anyone who has passed the third level to more levels will have different luck that should have been added, and luck is related to a person's immortal fate and blessings, and the specific role is not clear, and the sect master of Xiaoshan has never been exposed to such secrets.

In addition to giving luck, it can also enhance the power of the divine soul, and the power of this divine soul can only be practiced when it reaches the third mirror of the cultivation path, and the non-rare heavenly and earthly treasures can not be increased before, and it is conceivable that the benefits of this test are extraordinary.

After Zhang Shu left the range of the soul bell, the young sect master informed him of the ancestral teachings of the sect: "Whoever passes the third level can be established as a young sect, and it needs to be cultivated at all costs, the sect can be destroyed, this person can never die, and this person will definitely prosper in the sect." The importance of this luck can also be seen here. ”

At this time, Mu Bai woke up, and when he looked at the two of them, he realized that what he saw in the dream was just a fantasy, not real, but after experiencing this dream, he felt that his mind was extremely clear, his eyesight and ears were stronger than before, he could see more clearly, and he could hear more clearly.

The young sect master looked at Mu Bai with a soft gaze and asked with concern, "How is it, is your physical condition okay?"

Mu Bai was stunned for a moment, he never thought that he had passed these two levels, and the sect master's attitude towards him had changed so much, "Sure enough, the greater the value, the more respect others will give" It is very applicable in this immortal cultivation world or in the previous mortal world!

"Thank you for the sect master's concern, the disciple now only feels light and healthy, full of energy, and his body has never been so good!"

"What is the test of this fourth day?" the sect master then asked.

"The disciple didn't know very well, the disciple just sat in a dream .......... ”

Hearing this, the sect master frowned and thought for a long time before he relaxed: "It seems that the ancestor did not guess, the third level is righteousness, the fourth level is benevolence, benevolence and righteousness, you have saved the country twice for loyalty, attacked the enemy country without slaughtering innocent people, it is for benevolence!

Then he laughed heartily and said: "With you and Zhang Shu, the day when my Xiaoshan Immortal Sect will flourish can be waiting." ”

Immediately, he seemed to think of something and hurriedly said to Mu Bai: "Mu Bai, you continue to meditate and recuperate, the test has not ended, at this moment, you just have to concentrate on the test, and other things will be talked about later, you just need to know that the more you pass the test, the more benefits you will get!"

Mu Bai's pupils shrank suddenly, and sure enough, his mind was so clear, and his body was much lighter, this was all a reward from this soul bell!

The melodious bell rang again, and the clouds and mist shrouded on the mountain seemed to tremble with the ringing of the bell.

Unconsciously, it was a dream again, and this time he was still an official in the court, and the difference was from last time, this time he was a civil servant! The country had just stabilized, and because of the policy of inaction that the emperor believed, all kinds of problems had arisen in the country, and officials were corrupt but not cured, the great river burst its banks but did not slacken, and the people did not obey the law. During the great drought, the people did not have much grain in the official warehouses due to their light contributions, resulting in thousands of miles of starvation, and there were bones on the road.

The emperor agreed to the reform, but was blocked by the other half of the ministers who advocated inaction, and since then the court has been divided into two factions, and the two factions have competed with each other.

In the past three years, Mu Bai and others have been innovating, starting from the taxation, official system, army system, agricultural reclamation system and other aspects of large-scale reform. Of course, the struggle against the opposition was also indispensable, and many people were sacrificed as a result, and the struggle between the two factions intensified, and the contradictions gradually intensified.

Because Mu Bai and others have been innovating, but the effectiveness of the new laws and regulations they have implemented has not been proven, and gradually even the emperor has favored the faction that advocates inaction.

Another year is coming, this time the sky has not seen a great drought in a hundred years, the fields are dry and unable to grow live grain, the rivers are cut off, there is famine in dozens of places across the country, the people are dying of hunger gradually increase, and finally even form a team to revolt to come to the government to grab food.

The emperor originally thought that this time it would be the same as before, and the disaster relief food would be powerless in the follow-up, but he never thought that the official warehouse would be able to maintain it until the next year. This time, the emperor had to look at the reformists presided over by Mu Bai and others, and it is worth affirming that after this incident, no one in the opposition opposed the reform, and even took the initiative to suggest reform.

For another three years, the enemy invaded the border, and in three days, more than 500,000 people were gathered by relying only on the beacon to send messages. Only because the military service system was reformed a few years ago, the whole country implemented a system of ten dings, served for one year, and retired at the end of the year, of course, except for those who are willing to stay in the army to serve, but those who have retired from the army need to spontaneously form a team to rush to the front line when the country is in trouble, and those who do not go will be engaged in military law!

Because of this system, one-tenth of the country's people have become reserve soldiers, ready to participate in battles, and this base will become larger and larger.

In just one month, the enemy's army was overwhelmed, and they fled in rout without attacking a single city or place. After this incident, the emperor set up an altar to seal Mu Bai as the national teacher, reformed all the places that need to be rectified in the country, and for another ten years, raised troops to attack, defeated several countries, neighboring countries and countries all came to pay tribute, respected their countries as the upper country, and for another twenty years, the national strength increased greatly, all aspects were the first at that time, and a hundred countries came to the court, all of which learned the way of development.

Mu Bai had unconsciously stood up at this time, and slowly walked towards the Soul Bell Mountain, and the two people outside the jade looked at Mu Bai who was walking with closed eyes and was also confused. After being silent for a long time, the young sect master suddenly laughed, and looked at Zhang Shu, who was even more confused: Maybe this is the "guidance" of the soul clock, that is, a test, or a "chance", who knows, it shouldn't be a bad thing.

Zhang Shu nodded stunned, looked at Mu Bai's back, his eyes flashed with envy, and he admired Mu Bai more and more in his heart.

He has been through trials, he knows deeply how difficult it is to make a choice in that real and no longer real dream, he passed the level of affection, tried his best but failed to protect his loyalty, failed to protect the country behind him and the soldiers around him in that war.
