Three continents, the Izumo Empire. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

The ups and downs are so appropriate to describe the Izumo Empire at this time.

The fuse of the matter came from Liuyuan County, which was under the jurisdiction of the empire.

Decades ago, because of the power struggle in Liuyuan County, Zhao Xuanrui was seriously injured by the original Jiedu, and he was disheartened and returned to the old servant with him, and finally died in a foreign land. As for his ambitious sons, they died even more, and only Zhao Mingchuan was left.

According to the rules of the empire, Zhao Mingchuan automatically inherited the title and became the new envoy of the festival.

However, after this battle, the foundation of Jiedu Mansion was almost shattered, and its strength was greatly weakened, and the new Jiedu envoy not only divided the interests of most of Liuyuan County. He even became a puppet supported by the Heavenly Evil Sect until a few years ago, when he was killed by the enemy.

Therefore, this puppet-like position of the festival will naturally be passed on to his only son, Zhao Xunyou.

It's a pity that Zhao Xunyou is only a child a few years old, how can He De rule this large land, even if he has his grandmother behind him.

As a result, under the trend of large areas of land and interests, the Jiedu envoys of the surrounding three counties became covetous. If it weren't for the serious differences between the three in the distribution of low-hanging fruit benefits, it would have been impossible to say, and Liuyuan County would have ceased to exist a long time ago.

Since there are differences, let's negotiate.

After years of arduous negotiations, the three counties finally reached an agreement on the division of the cake. So a superficial crusade document was handed over to the Imperial Palace of Izumo Mansion by these three festival envoys. Then, without waiting for the king's will, they sent more than 100,000 troops together, and the soldiers were divided into three routes, and they entered Liuyuan County in a mighty manner.

Along the way, Liuyuan County's resistance was very weak, but in just a few days, a large area of land fell into the hands of the three Jiedu envoys, but just when the good news was frequent, the will from the palace was finally announced to the world.

The king's will is serious, and even the words are full of anger.

The division of princes has always been the power of the Son of Heaven, and all private grants and even military embezzlement are not recognized.

The decree began with a great crusade against the disobedience of the three envoys, followed by the decision of the king who sat on the high court.

The imperial family united the thirty-six magnates and the two major sects of Hongwenyuan and Yangmen General's Mansion to form an army of 30,000 people, and in the name of mediation, went straight to Liu Yuan.

This decree immediately caused unease throughout the empire, and there was no shortage of people who smelled of conspiracy from it.

Of course, no one may associate the royal family's actions with a mountain in Liuyuan County, but more that the royal family, together with the two major sects of the empire, is to be the yellow bird and prepare to swallow Liuyuan County together.

It was in this layer of conspiracy and large army movements that within a few days, Yanamoto-gun, which was originally not in the spotlight, suddenly attracted the attention of the entire Izumo Empire, and even several neighboring countries also focused their attention on it.

Some people with ulterior motives are even ready to reap the benefits of this turmoil.

For a time, there were hundreds of thousands of soldiers in Liuyuan County, the power of the three counties who were unwilling to retreat, the power of the imperial family, the magnates and the sects, and countless scattered cultivators who wanted to fish in troubled waters, and even spies from other countries.

At this time, Liuzhou, as the capital of Liuyuan County, was full of soldiers at this time, and the atmosphere was tense to the extreme.

Without the worries of her grandson, Lan Ji dragged her old body, cheered up, and began to deploy troops, but all the power that could be used was concentrated, and even scattered all the family wealth, wantonly recruiting and cultivating, under the attraction of power and wealth, in a short period of time, an army of tens of thousands of people was accumulated, and the army was ruined.

The calm in the confrontation was quickly broken.

The envoys of the three major festivals may not have the courage to oppose the imperial family of the empire, but after several years of planning, I don't know how much financial resources and energy have been spent, so it is naturally impossible for them to obediently withdraw from the army.

Since Liu Yuanjun can't get it, in order to recover the loss, he naturally has to loot a lot. For this reason, the places where the armies of the three major jiedu envoys passed can be described as rivers of blood, whether it is a town or some small sects, they are all trampled one by one. Under the planned plundering of the army, the vast land of Liuyuan County was almost scraped to the ground, and countless belongings and even slaves were continuously transported back to their respective counties.

Eventually, the greed and cruelty of the Three Rulers led to a fierce rebellion.

First the ordinary people, then some scattered metaphysical cultivators, and then small sects without the power of self-preservation, like a spark, spread rapidly, and in just half a month, it reached the momentum of a prairie fire. These forces may not be able to resist the armies of the three major knots, but they can harass them.

In the end, the army of the enraged three major knots became even bloodier out of revenge, and from top to bottom, almost all of them had the same order buried in their hearts, once they encountered any Xuan Xiu, they would be killed.

Once the seeds of hatred sprout, they spread like a virus until they become uncontrollable.

Finally, under the unscrupulous and indiscriminate revenge of the army in the three major festivals, wrongful killing became inevitable.

The news that some royal families, magnates, and even sect squads that had been slaughtered one after another became the fuse for the rapid deterioration of the situation.

Just after the two sides were anxious to fight each other, Lan Ji, who couldn't bear the loneliness, made a move.

A beautiful ambush battle, from the morning to the afternoon, Lan Ji, who concentrated all her forces in this battle, led tens of thousands of troops to annihilate an elite army of 1,000 people.

However, Lan Ji's losses are not small, although the people she leads, although they are ten times the enemy, but after all, most of them are temporarily recruited rabble, one-on-one heads-up may not fall behind, but personal bravery in the battle of thousands or even tens of thousands of people, but it does not play too much role.

Under the First World War, Lan Ji's troops suffered heavy losses, from the initial number of 10,000 people, to less than 2,000 at once.

In the face of the pursuit of the three major festival envoys under the rage, he finally had to jump left and jump like a rat crossing the street, and even Liuzhou City was abandoned.

However, Lan Ji's remnants seemed to be running around aimlessly, but if they studied carefully, it was not difficult to find that they were getting closer and closer to a famous mountain in Liuyuan County.

……

Tianzuo Mansion, because it is very close to Liuyuan County, the royal alliance set up the marshal tent here and temporarily requisitioned the prince's mansion.

At this time, the commander of the royal alliance was the crown prince of the dynasty, Situ Yulin.

Here I have to talk in detail about the composition of the royal alliance this time.

As the nominal ruler of the empire, the royal family not only sent 10,000 elite forbidden troops in this operation, but the crown prince Situ Yulin personally led a group of 100 internal servants to worship.

The chamberlain is naturally a eunuch, and the name of the enshrinement shows that these people are loyal to the royal family. In addition, it is not difficult to see that all of these people are superb cultivators.

For example, now, behind the crown prince, there are two old eunuchs who are neither yin nor yang to follow him at all times, and their identities are the governors of this inner service.

In addition to the royal family, the thirty-six high-ranking magnates also each sent a confidant retainer, in addition to the joint formation of a coalition of nearly 20,000 family generals on the surface, these retainers also control a small number, but elite and powerful force.

Finally, there are the two major sects of Hongwen Academy and Yang Sect General's Mansion.

In addition to the disciples of nearly 1,000 people, there is only a group of 36 strategists composed of students, and the leader of this strategist group is a professor-level master.

As for the Yang Sect General's Mansion, this time he did not send people temporarily, only one sect disciple brought a letter, and after arriving at Tianzuo Mansion, he plunged into the dungeon, and the next day, he pulled out hundreds of sect disciples.

At this time, in the Prince's Mansion, the crown prince Situ Yulin sat in the first place, and below him, the thirty-six powerful retainers were divided into left and right, followed by the master who represented the Hongwen Academy and Yang Xiaotian, the plenipotentiary agent of the Yang General's Mansion.

If Zhan Bai is here, it is not difficult to find that this Yang Xiaotian is the leader of the dungeon green forest back then, and of course his actual identity is the descendant of the Yang General's Mansion.

"This woman really deserves to die, isn't she still messy!" Prince Situ Yulin looked at the news he had just found in his hand, and slapped his palm angrily on the low table in front of him.

The low table made of gold and stone couldn't withstand this palm, and with a click, it shattered and fell to the ground.

"Your Highness is angry. In fact, empathy, it is not difficult to understand, no matter what, this Liuyuan County is handed down by the ancestors of the Zhao family. And it is not difficult to understand that Lan Ji is in a tenacious mood and has done such a ruinous thing. Below, a powerful retainer said unconcernedly.

It seems that the royal family sent troops this time to quell the rebellion of Liu Yuan, but how many people know what is actually going on.

The subtlety of this trick to hide the sky and cross the sea will make everyone in the world play around.

Liu Yuan is chaotic, they don't care at all, the reason why they scattered 30,000 troops into Liuyuan County is just to confuse the public, as for the real purpose......

"But no matter what, this Yanamoto County is under the rule of my Izumo Empire, and if it continues like this, I'm afraid it will really make a living for the people." As the prince of the empire, although Situ Yulin knew the purpose of this dispatch, he was still very uncomfortable. Looking at the faces of these powerful retainers below, a fierce look flashed.

A group of greedy and unscrupulous people are simply vampires on the body of the empire, and when I ascend the throne, I must gradually reduce the power of these powerful gatekeepers, otherwise, as time goes by, the empire will only become weaker and weaker.

I made a decision in my heart, but there was no expression on my face, but I smiled faintly.

"Well, there is a priority in things. When the business is done, let's go back to this Liuyuan County. Situ Yulin's voice changed, "This Tianzuo Mansion is really a prosperous place, and the main palace looks at it compared to the Izumo Mansion. Since Aunt Luo Wan became the lord of the mansion in place of the deceased Uncle Merlin a few decades ago, it is said that the taxes paid to the imperial court have increased every year. When I saw it today, I realized that Aunt Luowan's financial management method is really amazing. ”

"Haha, what Your Highness said is true. In the past few days, we have visited Tianzuo Mansion, and it is really full of novelty, which makes people happy. There are retainers below who are not without admiration.

"Hehe, Brother Chengren is afraid that he will be fascinated by the girl who is full of flowers. I've heard that just last night, you spent a lot of money and behaved boldly. ”

As soon as this topic was mentioned, the thirty-six powerful retainers suddenly frolicked, and each of them had an endless aftertaste on their faces. Visiting the Qinglou, for them, is more like a romantic affair, and naturally there is no reason that cannot be said.

However, the master of the Hongwen Academy and Yang Xiaotian had a sad face and didn't say much.

These powerful retainers from Izumo Mansion only saw the prosperity of Tianzuo Mansion, and even the prince who sat at the top thought that the prosperity of Tianzuo Mansion was the credit of Princess Luowan, but was this really the case?

Luo Juan has been nominally the lord of Tianzuo Mansion over the years, but in fact, the most powerful person has already been the Huamanlou known as the land of fireworks in these people.

It's just that they are afraid of the power of Sword Prison Villa, and the two of them didn't say anything.

"Hehe, alright. You must have had a good rest these days, so next, can we send troops? After the business is done, the palace will have a feast in this Tianzuo Mansion for three days, and all the expenses will be paid by the inner house. Situ Yulin pressed his hand slightly, and after letting the people below fall silent, he said.

Crash!!!!

The thirty-six powerful retainers immediately put away their previous smiling expressions, looked solemn, and stood up neatly.

"!!"

"Okay, forget it today, you all prepare yourself, and when tomorrow comes, we will set off quietly overnight. Along the way, it is necessary to prohibit the order, strictly prohibit the noise, and not let alone make extraneous branches, and keep it strictly confidential. Situ Yulin stood up and said proudly.

"Wow!!"

Everyone said yes.

Just as Situ Yulin waved his hand and was about to dismiss everyone, suddenly the master of Hongwen Academy, who had been silent, stepped forward in two steps.

"Your Highness, the old man has something to say."
