[There is a little data problem in the first two chapters, which has been changed]

Since the failure of the Great Liang Empire against the Great Ji Empire, the aristocratic class in the Great Liang Empire, led by the five great families of Zhang, Zheng, Yu, Kong, and Yan, took advantage of the situation and wanted to gain more power from the emperor Duan Hong.

In any country on the land of China, the emperor and the family are two opposing classes, sometimes the emperor can suppress the family, and sometimes the emperor will become the puppet of the family, the endless struggle between the two continues, just now, the struggle between the emperor and the family in the Tang Empire has not stopped.

Duan Hong was also a bold monarch, and when he saw that his battle with the family was endless, and the impact of the defeat of the Great Age Empire had not yet been dealt with, Duan Hong directly gave up a small part of his power and quelled the endless struggle between the two sides.

In the summer of the eighth year of the Qin calendar, the battle between Duan Hong, the emperor of the Great Liang Empire, and the family in the Great Liang Empire came to an end temporarily, and both sides knew that there was only a chance, and the next battle would continue to begin, and the emperor wanted to make all the families completely surrender, and the family wanted to turn the emperor into a puppet, or let themselves replace him.

After the fighting stopped, Duan Hong began to deal with the various problems left over from the war.

Duan Hong took out a large amount of money from the inner treasury and gave it to those soldiers who died in the war (family) or soldiers who were disabled due to injuries, the army is the foundation of the Great Liang Empire, and it is also the fundamental strength of Duan Hong, once even the army is not loyal to Duan Hong, then Duan Hong, the emperor, will be the end.

In addition to dealing with the soldiers who died in battle and were disabled, Binzhou and Caizhou in the northeast of the Great Liang Empire, which were invaded by the combined forces of Ji Luo and Zhao, were also the focus of Duan Hong's attention.

It just so happened that because of the invasion of the Jiluo and Zhao coalition forces, the family forces in Binzhou and Caizhou suffered heavy losses, and Duan Hong could take the opportunity to completely control Binzhou and Caizhou.

However, when Duan Hong learned more about the situation in Binzhou and Caizhou, Duan Hong looked at the word "Bright Sect" and seemed to have something in his mind.

"The Sect of Light, the Sect of Light, when I think about it, is the Sect of Light that led to the destruction of the Great Li Empire."

Although the Dali Empire and the Great Liang Empire are directly separated by a Tang Empire, and the Great Liang Empire does not attach importance to the Great Li Empire, it does not mean that the Great Liang Empire really knows nothing about what happened in the territory of the Great Li Empire, especially the Bright Sect that led to the destruction of the Great Li Empire, Duan Hong also paid a lot of attention, but he did not expect the Bright Sect to appear in the territory of the Great Liang Empire.

You must know that the overall strength of the Dali Empire at the beginning even exceeded that of the Daliang Empire.

Duan Hong's heart was uneasy.

According to the information from the people below, since Binzhou and Caizhou were invaded by the combined forces of Ji Luo and Zhao, the Guangming Sect suddenly appeared, and in a few years, the Guangming Sect has become the most powerful force in Binzhou and Caizhou, with more than one million believers.

Seeing this, Duan Hong sighed in his heart.

"It's bad, one million believers, the Illuminati can at least raise an army of 200,000, no, it can't go on like this, the Illuminati must be destroyed."

Duan Hong immediately summoned his courtiers into the palace to discuss the matter.

After Duan Hong briefly explained the matter, Duan Hong's courtiers were in favor of sending troops to encircle and suppress the Bright Sect.

However, some courtiers said to Duan Hong that they should cooperate with other families, the Bright Sect is a family and a mortal enemy, and once the Bright Sect grows, the family will also be finished.

Duan Hong thought about it for a while, and then agreed to cooperate with the family, and sent his courtiers to contact the Liang family led by the five major families of Zhang, Zheng, Yu, Kong, and Yan.

After learning about the Illumination Sect, the Emperor Sect and the Family Faction, which had been fighting endlessly, united in the blink of an eye in order to deal with the Illumination Sect.

In the last campaign against the Daji Empire, the army of the Great Liang Empire suffered a lot of losses, in order to encircle and suppress the Guangming Sect entrenched in Binzhou and Caizhou, the Great Liang Empire began a new round of recruitment, preparing to recruit 300,000 new soldiers, and then mobilize 200,000 veterans, and gather 500,000 troops, with such strength, it should be enough to encircle and exterminate the Guangming Sect entrenched in Binzhou and Caizhou.

The large-scale recruitment of troops in the Great Liang Empire is naturally seen by the Bright Sect, and the Bright Sect has been coming to the Great Liang Empire for ten years, and there are a lot of eyeliners walking everywhere, even if Tianmu and Xunfeng are combined, the ability to collect intelligence is far inferior to the Bright Sect.

Yuan Chang learned that the battle between the emperor and the family of the Great Liang Empire had stopped, coupled with this sudden large-scale recruitment, Yuan Chang guessed that it was very likely that the Great Liang Empire discovered the situation in Binzhou and Caizhou, and wanted to mobilize troops against Binzhou and Caizhou to encircle and exterminate the Holy Sect.

Not absolutely, there is at least seventy percent certainty, Yuan Chang decided to prepare early.

The Bright Sect controls almost all areas in Binzhou and Caizhou except for a few cities such as Binzhou City and Caizhou City, and after a year of training, the Bright Sect already has 60,000 guardian troops, which are elite troops equipped with plate armor and 100 steel weapons.

Faced with the possible encirclement and suppression of the Great Liang Empire, Yuan Chang decided to expand the scale of the Apologetic Army, and when the size of the Apolologist Army reached 200,000, he would directly take the remaining cities in Binzhou and Caizhou, and completely occupy Binzhou and Caizhou.

In fact, taking those cities is also very simple for the Illumination Sect, but the goal is too big, so the Illuminati has not started.

After Yuan Chang's order to expand the army was issued, the guards in the various villages in Binzhou and Caizhou quickly assembled one by one, they took off their tattered or ordinary clothes, put on standard military uniforms, they put down the rough wooden spears in their hands, and picked up the delicate steel weapons, from today on, they are no longer a member of the escort team, but a member of the cathar army, they have changed from the militia to the regular army of the city.

However, they have only just begun, and if they want to completely transform from a militia to a regular army, they still need to go through a period of training, learn to obey the command of their superiors, and learn to cooperate.

Not only the Bright Sect in Binzhou and Caizhou took action, but even the Bright Sect personnel in the other ten states in the Great Liang Empire also took action, and only a few deacons were left in each state to be in charge of things, and the elders of the Innate Grandmaster level returned to Binzhou and Caizhou with other deacons and disciples to prepare for the upcoming war.

In ten years, the strength of the Bright Sect has also made great progress, and the number of innate grandmasters has also increased from twelve to nineteen, the highest realm has reached the innate seventh order, and Yuan Chang and the other person have reached the innate sixth order.

Although the number of Innate Grandmasters of the Bright Sect is far from that of the Great Liang Empire as a whole, in war, warriors are not absolute, and even Innate Grandmasters can be surrounded and killed by the army.

Time passed day by day, the Great Liang Empire and the Illuminati Sect were preparing, and the war was about to break out, and I didn't know which side would win in the end.
