Chapter 70 The General Trend of the World

In the Great Sumeru Mountain, Zhang Jiao waited for Xu Yang with a little anxiety. It had been more than two months since he had been here, and he had been cultivating here since the Battle of Tiger Prison Pass, which was also the treaty he had reached with Xu Yang.

This treaty was only one month at the beginning, and when it was originally expired, Zhang Jiao found that Xu Yang did not come to pick him up, but he thought that the champion Hou might have been delayed. But this delay was only a month, and he couldn't help but feel uneasy. This Great Sumeru Mountain is good, and the concentration of aura is also surprisingly high, but if you can't leave here, then you will be trapped here in any realm of cultivation!

Thinking that the champion Hou hadn't come to see him for two months, Zhang Jiao was very scared. He was afraid that Xu Yang would forget him, and he would really be trapped here for the rest of his life. So he summoned up the courage to find the guard of Mount Osumeru, that is, the killing angel Cyra, and expressed his thoughts implicitly.

Cyra calmly told Zhang Jiao that the champion Hou would be fine. But why not pick him up, that's beyond Cyra's control. However, Cyra could try her best to contact the champion Hou through the Great Sumeru Realm, which calmed Zhang Jiao's hanging heart a lot.

As Cyra figured out a way, Zhang Jiao soon saw the long-lost champion Hou. He never thought that he would be so looking forward to seeing Champion Hou one day, although he had found a way to break through the holy level, but he had to leave here to find a breakthrough, and now he could finally go.

"The Great Sage and Good Master are fine, I have been going for two months recently, and the Great Sage and Good Master have suffered here......" Xu Yang, who came to the Great Sumeru Realm, understood the truth of the matter as soon as he saw Zhang Jiao, he cultivated with the old Qilin for two months and successfully broke through the holy level, but Zhang Jiao in the Great Sumeru Mountain was placed under house arrest by himself, and it was no wonder that Sila would contact him in the way of the Great Sumeru Realm.

Zhang Jiao saw that the champion Hou had broken through the holy level, and congratulated him repeatedly. The two chatted for a few words, and then Zhang Jiao spoke: "Thanks to the kindness of Lord Hou, I have found an opportunity to break through this time. However, Lao Dao is a secular person, and only in the secular can he break through, and he has been bothering him for two months, and he is troubled by Hou Ye to send Lao Dao back! ”

Xu Yang didn't say much, directly opened the passage of Great Sumeru Mountain, and left with Zhang Jiao. After returning to the main world, it was already dark, but Zhang Jiao directly took out a talisman and teleported away, and Xu Yang was envious.

That night, Xu Yang had a good night's sleep. It can be regarded as a reward for yourself for so long, breaking through the holy level, and you should also have a good night's sleep in the game.

On the second day, Xu Yang convened a group of civil and military generals in Mingyue City in the hall of Mingyue City, and mainly listened to the situation of the world and the development of Mingyue City in the past two months.

Since Dong Zhuo was assassinated, the world has been in chaos for a while. The reason for everything starts with Cao Cao's pursuit of Dong Zhuo:

Cao Cao took the two forces of Xuanyuan Wuji and Red Rose to chase Dong Zhuo, and Xu Rong set up an ambush like history to prepare to catch Cao Cao off guard. As a result, Cao Cao surprisingly listened to the opinions of others this time and gave Xu Rong a counter-encirclement, and it is said that the historical general Xu Rong was also captured by the Scarlet Rose.

Cao Cao, who did not suffer losses, but ushered in a victory, did not care who caught Xu Rong, everyone is the eighteenth anti-Dong princes, and whoever has made the exploits is everyone's. So Cao Cao, who was full of morale, continued to pursue, and Dong Zhuo, who had not yet been assassinated at this time, was already furious, and directly sent Lu Bu to lightly surrender Cao Cao and others who were hanging in the rear of the troops.

Lu Bu led the headquarters Zhang Liao and Gao Shun to attack Cao Cao, Cao Cao at this time was not a glorious period in history after all, even with the help of Xuanyuan Wuji and Red Rose, he was also beaten and lost his armor when facing Lu Bu, who was perverted in combat effectiveness. However, just as Lu Bu achieved a good record and was about to strangle Cao Cao, the news of Dong Zhuo's death spread.

After receiving the news of Dong Zhuo's death, Lu Bu was very clever not to return to the Xiliang army, but skillfully led his troops to Luoyang along the way in the name of pursuing Cao Cao. At this time, the alliance army occupying Luoyang had their own hearts, Zhang Miao and Wang Kuang almost turned their faces, Ma Teng and Gongsun Zan were also tense, and the reason for their respective runs was that the burned cake in Luoyang was not evenly distributed.

As the leader of the alliance, Yuan Shao also looked like he was watching the tiger fight from all walks of life, and he had no intention of stopping it at all. It can be said that after the successful occupation of Luoyang, the princes of the alliance army no longer had their original ambitions, and they were all immersed in the joy of victory and the idea of dividing the spoils of battle. The so-called Eighteen-Way Anti-Dong Alliance has long ceased to exist at this moment, and has become a plate of scattered sand.

The princes of the Eighteenth Route in Luoyang City thought that Dong Zhuo had moved west, but when they heard the news of Dong Zhuo's death, they found that Lu Bu's army had already arrived in the city. The result can be imagined, Luoyang, the burned historical city of 7788, changed hands again, and the princes from all walks of life fled back to their own territories, and Lu Bu also easily solved the Hanoi Taishou Wang Kuang, occupying the limelight in Luoyang for a while.

After Dong Zhuo's original Xiliang Army learned of Dong Zhuo's death, two generals, Li Dao and Guo Yan, came forward, because Li Ru was no longer in the army, and Wenhou Lu Bu went to pursue Cao Cao, and the two soon obtained the command of the Xiliang Army, and even Dong Zhuo's elite Flying Bear Army was directly taken over by the two. Originally, the two planned to join Lu Bu, but when they heard that Lu Bu occupied Luoyang and defeated all the princes, the little caution in their hearts became active, so they commanded the army to continue westward and soon occupied the western capital Chang'an.

The princes of all walks of life who participated in the alliance withdrew from Luoyang, and Cao Cao returned to his hometown of Chenliu and began to recuperate. Yuan Shao also returned to Bohai to become his own taishou, Han Fu continued to be his Jizhou pastor, and the other princes also returned to their own territory, and they did not say a word about the failure of Luoyang and his party.

However, in the past two months, all the princes have been accumulating strength, and some princes have begun to accept the integration of player power. Obviously, the current Han is really dead, and the princes from all walks of life are just waiting for an opportunity, a chance to say goodbye to this Han world completely.

In the past two months, compared to the silence of the system forces, the player forces can be said to have developed rapidly. Among them, the player alliance in Jiaozhou, the Yellow Turban Sect player force in the north of Yanshan, the Yanhuang Dragon City entrenched in Xuyang, and the Scarlet Rose Alliance in Yangzhou are representatives, these four places can be said to be the best representatives of the development of player power. It is said that in the Xiliang area, players have also made a lot of reputation, but compared with the previous four representative forces, Xiliang often has foreign invasions, which is not so stable.

As for Explanation Moon City, it has developed steadily in the past two months, and the number of troops has increased again. Guan Yu's sweat and blood cavalry force has been formed, and at present, the four major legions of the southeast, northwest and northwest of Bright Moon City have been built. The economy has developed steadily, and a large number of life occupation NPCs have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain, making the economy of Mingyue City make tens of millions of taels of profits every month, and most of the profits are transferred to Xuzhou, Qingzhou and other places by the Lu Family Commercial Bank.

Looking at the information reported to him, Xu Yang nodded with satisfaction and said, "Since the military structure of Mingyue City has been almost built, let's choose a day and conduct a large-scale military parade." Ben Hou already has the right to open a government and set up accounts, and it is understandable to hold such a ceremony in his own territory. Now that the world is in chaos, it's time for the world to know about my fist in Bright Moon City. Zibu, this matter is up to you to arrange, set a date and tell Ben Hou to ......"

Zhang Zhao, who was second on the left hand below Xu Yang, respectfully replied: "Follow the will of the marquis, and my subordinates will supervise this matter as soon as possible!" ”

Zhang Zhao is currently the No. 2 Wenchen in Mingyue City, and the No. 1 is naturally Guo Jia. And after Zhang Zhao responded to Xu Yang's order, Guo Jia also stood up and said: "Lord, as you said, now the world has changed greatly, Luoyang City is occupied by Lu Bu, the princes have their own hearts, and the world of the Han Dynasty has existed in name only. In the past two months, there have also been some unscrupulous people near Bright Moon City......"

"Huh? Who is Feng Xiao referring to, but it doesn't hurt to say it? Although Xu Yang thought that there would inevitably be princes attacking each other in the chaos of the world, some people couldn't help their own careful thinking so quickly, and they directly wanted to face off with their champion Hou Gang, which made Xu Yang curious.

Guo Jia didn't sell it, and said directly: "Today, a large number of soldiers have been transferred near Wu County. Under the pretext of drilling, these soldiers were deployed on the periphery of our Mingyue City. Their locations are all next to the main road outside my Bright Moon City, once there is a war, I'm afraid that my Bright Moon City will be confined to this corner! ”

"Soldiers from Wu County? The audacity of this Wu County guard has become bigger, and he dares to argue with our Mingyue City? As soon as Xu Yang heard that the other party was using official forces, he immediately stopped panicking.

No matter who you fight these days, it is necessary to pay attention to a righteous name and occupy the righteousness. He is the champion of the Han Dynasty, and Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty personally canonized the Marquis of Yipin, who commanded the Han Naval Army, and used official soldiers to restrict Mingyue City in the name of training for no reason? Just kidding, Xu Yang at this time is no longer the fledgling little lord, he is definitely called Dad every minute.

However, Guo Jia shook his head and said: "Back to the lord, this time it was not the county guard of Wu County who sent troops to surround the main traffic artery of Mingyue City, but Liu Wen, the assassin of Yangzhou!" The subordinates inquired that more than a month ago, Nanyang Taishou Yuan Shu returned to the territory, and secretly contacted Liu Wen, and the two contacted the secret union for a few days, and the Yangzhou Assassin sent troops to Wu County, in the name of training soldiers and resisting the Yangtze River water thieves, in fact, they besieged my Mingyue City. Although the other party has not taken any substantive action yet, once the war starts, my Mingyue City will be in a rather passive position......"

Xu Yang nodded, and he understood the reason. I have long known that the Yuan brothers are not good things, but Xu Yang didn't expect that Yuan Shu would actually do things with him after he came back. And this guy couldn't reach out by himself, so he actually found a substitute to fight.

With a wicked smile on his face, Xu Yang opened his mouth and asked, "Where is Gan Ning now?" ”

Since Dong Zhuo was assassinated, Xu Yang went to the rice country again, this Gan Ning should have been taken by Xu Yang all the time, but the trip to the rice country was dangerous, and Gan Ning was not his subordinate, so Xu Yang could only let him visit Mingyue City now. Now that two months have passed, Xu Yang really misses this guy a little.

"Back to the lord, Gan Ning has returned to Ba County a month ago to visit his mother. Before leaving, Gan Ning did not say when he would return. The subordinates didn't force ...... stay," Guo Jia said.

Xu Yang nodded, after all, he was not his own person, and Guo Jia was right to do this. It's just that he took Gan Ning to participate in the battle of Tiger Prison Pass, and he may have been able to trigger his recruitment task when he came back, but he had no choice but to leave for two months, and it was understandable that people were in a hurry to leave.

"Where are Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin?" Since Gan Ning was not there, Xu Yang greeted him directly

Two naval generals under his own command.

"Subordinate Zhou Tai (Jiang Qin) listens to the dispatch of the lord!" The two who were originally born as water thieves are now dressed in military uniforms, and they also have the style of generals in the main hall.

Looking at these two generals who should have belonged to the Wu Kingdom, sweeping over the people in the hall who were all the henchmen of Mingyue City, Xu Yang directly said without taboos: "From today on, I will order you two to lead the Mingyue City Navy to inspect the banks of the Yangtze River and investigate the water thieves near the Yangtze River waterway. Once discovered, you can cut it first and then play it, and you have full authority to act! ”

Listening to the lord's order, the two of them showed a confused face after responding. As the eldest brother, Zhou Tai touched his head, and finally couldn't help asking: "Lord, there are no more water thieves on the Yangtze River. The remaining small group of water thieves often numbered no more than a hundred, and they were extremely scattered and extremely secretive. Dispatching my Mingyue City naval army to clear not only failed to make achievements, but cost the people and money......"

After speaking, Zhou Tai was a little apprehensive in his heart. After all, it is impossible to say that there is no water thief on the Yangtze River waterway, but after such a long time of training by the Mingyue City Water Army, the remaining water thieves are all small shares, and they are all shocked by them. As long as there are larger boats crossing the Yangtze River, these guys are eager to change to a water village. It is indeed unwise to dispatch a large army under such circumstances, but to contradict the lord like this, Zhou Tai also felt that he had not done a good job in his heart.

Xu Yang did not answer Zhou Tai's question, but set his eyes on Guo Jia. Guo Jia, who immediately understood, hurriedly stood up and said: "Two generals, the lord naturally knows that there are no water thieves on this Yangtze River waterway. But Liu Wen, the assassin of Yangzhou, didn't know about it, so he also sent a large army near my Mingyue City, claiming to exterminate the water thieves. People are coming from afar, and we can't say nothing in Mingyue City......"

"Mean? Guo Junshi, what do you mean......" Zhou Tai seemed to understand something, but asked a little bit inthoroughly.

Guo Jia smiled slightly, nodded and said, "Since Lord Thorn Shi said that there are water thieves on the Yangtze River, then there must be one." It's very likely that I didn't notice it in Mingyue City, and the two generals are patrolling the Yangtze River waterway, and they will definitely find something......"

"Guo Junshi, his subordinate is a rough man, and he is still a little ......"

Guo Jia's words made Zhou Tai a little confused, but at this time, all the civil and military forces present already understood. Xu Yang, who was above the first place, smiled slightly and said, "Okay, how to do it after the meeting, you two will go to consult Guo Junshi in private!" Guo Jia, tell the two of them in detail about this matter! ”

Xu Yang deliberately put the details very seriously, and listening to Xu Yang's words, some people on the Wenchen side almost didn't laugh out loud. But after all, it was their own lord who said this, and they only laughed at the simplicity of these two generals.

With Xu Yang's order, this matter can be regarded as overturned. Later, Xu Yang learned about some economic measures in Mingyue City, and now Mingyue City has good business contacts with the Lu family in Jiangnan (Lu Xun's family), and many of the living outputs of Mingyue City are transported to Xuzhou, Qingzhou, Jingzhou and other places through the Lu family firm. And now the military weapons output of Mingyue City can also be sold to the outside world under the premise of self-sufficiency, which makes Xu Yang much satisfied.

"By the way, what happened to Sun Jian after he withdrew from the Tiger Prison Pass?" Xu Yang suddenly thought of Sun Jian, who was robbed of the jade seal of the country, this guy left Luoyang and Tiger Prison early, but the most valuable items on his body were lying in his backpack, and he didn't know if this guy died like history.

It was Huang Zhong who stepped forward to report this time, and after he came out of the ranks, he spoke directly: "Back to the lord, after Sun Jian withdrew from the Tiger Prison Pass, it seems that he got some news. The journey is light and simple, and extremely hidden. However, his whereabouts were still exposed in Jingzhou and intercepted by Huang Zu. Under the desperate struggle of Sun Sun Ce, Sun Jian was seriously injured and fought his way out of the siege, and finally returned to Changsha. It is said that there is a shadow of Liu Biao behind this incident, but Sun Jian is abnormal, and as soon as he returns to Changsha, he seems to be silent......"

Sun Jian is not dead! This is the most useful news Xu Yang has gotten, judging from Huang Zhong's news, Sun Jian should have gotten the news that someone was going to ambush him, but he still didn't hide his identity under the urine of the system. It's just that this time Sun Ce was more powerful, and finally gave Sun Jian a serious injury to escape. However, Sun Jian, who returned to Changsha, did not make any moves, which made Xu Yang a little puzzled.

"Sun Jian is now recuperating from his injuries in Changsha, so I have to choose a day to see him!" Xu nodded and said.

Guo Jia below hurriedly stopped: "Lord, I'm afraid this matter is inappropriate." In the first battle of Luoyang, there was a gap between the lord and General Sun, and General Sun was seriously injured by a plot, and the murderer did not find out before the lord went rashly. This matter must not be, please think twice! ”

After Guo Jia finished speaking, all the civil and military officers also knelt down and pleaded: "Please think twice!" ”

Seeing that his subordinates cared so much about him, Xu Yang's heart warmed. However, he continued: "Ben Hou and General Sun looked at each other on the battlefield, Ben Hou believed that General Sun was an iron-clad man, although there was some displeasure between him and Ben Hou, but we all know each other, Fengxiao You are too worried!" ”

Just when Guo Jia was about to argue something, a soldier outside ran in and reported: "Lord Hou, there is a person outside the mansion who claims to be Zhao Yun and has come to ask for a meeting!" ”
