Chapter 41 Unifying the Three Kingdoms and Opening the Heavens and the Earth
"Your Majesty, Jiangdong is a great victory!" In the Chaotian Palace, a civilian official held up the battle report in his hand with a look of surprise on his face.
Hearing this, the Manchu Dynasty's civil and military faces couldn't help but move slightly, before, everyone's eyes have been focused on Jingzhou, after all, the battle of Jingzhou is nearing the end, Jingxiang Nine Counties in addition to Xiangyang, in addition to Yue Fei's deterrence and Zhao Yun's strong and skinless attack, have been broken, Nanjun, Changsha two counties surrendered without a fight, Guiyang, Lingling soldiers are outnumbered, have the heart to resist the enemy, but the Great Yan soldiers are too strong, and even a wave did not hold on to the whole line and was defeated, planting the Red Dragon Banner of the Great Yan Empire, leaving only one Xiangyang is still struggling to support.
The four major families of Jingxiang worked together with Liu Biao this time, and Liu Bei and his entourage, who fled, greatly made up for the lack of Jingxiang's generals and barely blocked Zhao Yun's offensive, but anyone with a discerning eye could see that it was a matter of time before Xiangyang fell.
And Jiangdong, when Zhao Yun's soldiers besieged Xiangyang, had not yet been affected by the war.
Kou Zhong's fleet was nowhere to be found, and most of the troops in Jiangdong were transferred to Wu County to guard against Guangling Lu Bu, although he had the intention to rescue Jing Xiang, but the troops were insufficient, and he harassed and attacked several times, intending to disrupt the layout of Dayan, but all of them were repelled by Wu Yunzhao, who was left in Jiangxia by Zhao Yun.
And Lu Bu was not good at water warfare, and secondly, the lesson from a few years ago made him more careful this time, just swallowing troops in Guangling, waiting for the opportunity to move, looking for an opportunity to cross the river, but Zhou Yu repeatedly saw through it and failed to get what he wanted.
Just when everyone thought that Jiangdong would be the last conquered princes' territory, Kou Zhong suddenly rose up, the Bohai Sea Division landed in Huiji, and the Eastern Wu army was deployed in Danyang and Chaisang, and the rear was extremely empty. Kou Zhong beheaded the generals of Eastern Wu in front of the battle, greatly demoralizing Eastern Wu, and then seeing that Jianye was difficult to capture, he designed to encircle Wei to rescue Zhao, and set up an ambush halfway to annihilate all the troops of Zhou Yu who returned to the city to rescue. Tai Shici, a famous general of Eastern Wu, tried his best to protect Zhou Yu to break through, but he was under siege, and he did not surrender, and finally died of exhaustion.
Zhou Yu led the army to leave, but Lu Bu saw the opportunity, successfully crossed the river in one fell swoop, and annexed Danyang in one go.
Jianye heard that Zhou Yu was killed. The army was in turmoil, Sun Quan lost an inch, was broken through the city gate by Kou Zhong in one fell swoop, the army poured in, Sun Quan organized an army to resist, but he was outnumbered, and finally set himself on fire in the mansion.
Jianye was lost, and the Sun family was destroyed. Jiangdong was no longer able to resist the Great Yan Iron Cavalry, and was under the pressure of Kou Zhong and Lu Bu. Jiangdong City looked at the wind and thought, and actually occupied the entire territory of Jiangdong in one fell swoop before Zhao Yun broke through Xiangyang.
"What a Kou Zhong!" Li Xuan looked at the battle report in his hand and said with a smile: "Once Jiangdong is broken, I'm afraid Xiangyang will not be far away!" ”
"Ordered the generals of all departments, after the capture of Xiangyang. Hurry back to the Dragon Court, and prepare to face the demons outside the sky with me! Li Xuan patted the dragon chair and stood up.
Although the day of automatic promotion of the plane was not far away, he was not prepared to wait any longer. Wasting time, he wanted to forcibly open the sky before the start of the Journey to the West.
"Yes!"
Just as Li Xuan expected, when the news of the collapse of Jiangdong reached Xiangyang, the morale of the entire Xiangyang fell sharply, and at the same time, there were subtle changes between the Jingxiang family and Liu Biao, who were originally huddled together and united.
After all, before, the reason why they united and united with the outside world was only because of the relationship of interests, and now that the general trend has gone, the Jingzhou family group headed by Cai Mao and Kuai Liang has to plan for their family's future future.
Liu Biao is old, plus he has been organizing against the Great Yan Iron Army for several days, he is already haggard, and the news of Jiangdong's defeat is like the last straw that crushes the camel, Liu Biao can't afford to be sick, and he died two days later, but before returning to the west, Liu Biao made an unexpected decision to pass the position of Jingzhou Assassin to his two sons, but to Liu Bei, who defected.
This result was undoubtedly beyond everyone's expectations, and Cai Mao immediately objected.
If it is a weekday, with Liu Bei's character, he is naturally a boiled frog in warm water, subduing the Jingxiang clan step by step, with his current resources, plus the identity of the emperor uncle of the Han Dynasty, he naturally has this qualification, at the moment, the great enemy is current, and it is necessary to integrate the forces of Xiangyang as soon as possible to resist foreign enemies.
For the first time, Liu Bei showed the world hidden under the appearance of benevolence and righteousness, the magnificent ambition of the heart, raised the butcher's knife, and baptized the four major families in Xiangyang City.
Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Chen Zhi, Cao Chun, Yu Ban, a fierce general brought by Liu Bei under the command of Liu Bei, the Jingxiang clan killed a river of blood, in addition to the Ma family and other small and medium-sized families who have taken refuge in Liu Bei, Cai, Kuai, Huang, Zhang four families, after this battle, were almost uprooted by Liu Bei.
Xiangyang City, blood and gas all over the sky, Zhao Yun was shocked to find that there was a change in the city, attacked the city overnight, but was blocked by Liu Bei, who had been prepared, although Xiangyang City lost its vitality after this battle, but also completely cleared the internal troubles, plus Liu Bei's fierce generals such as clouds, barely blocked Zhao Yun's several attacks.
However, the general trend has gone, with the arrival of Kou Zhong and Lu Bu, the three-way army surrounded Xiangyang, and in Xiangyang City, there are fewer and fewer available soldiers, Zhang Fei can't withstand Lu Bu's instigation, and he sent troops in anger, and was cut off by Lu Bu's halberd, and Xiangyang City was crumbling under the onslaught of the three-way army.
Liu Bei saw that the general trend had gone, and he had no choice but to surrender in Kaicheng, but he committed suicide in the assassination mansion, Guan Yu saw the eldest brother and the third brother go one after another, and sighed.
At the moment when Xiangyang City was completely occupied, thousands of miles away above the Dragon Court, Li Xuan's Human Emperor Altar suddenly buzzed, and in the altar, there was a cheerful sound of dragon groaning.
Li Xuan and the altar of the human emperor are connected, and he can naturally feel why the altar emits such a dragon groan, which represents the unification of the three kingdoms and the world, and the last prince with the spirit of the human emperor has completely fallen, and congratulates the human emperor with the death of the emperor of the world.
"They're all dead!" Standing on the altar of the Emperor of People, looking up at the sky, Li Xuan didn't know how to describe his mood at the moment, especially through the altar of the Emperor of People, looking back on the process of the battle, Zhang Fei was beheaded. Liu Bei committed suicide, Guan Yu was martyred, there was an inexplicable discomfort in his heart, at the beginning of Lu Zhijun, he and Liu Bei may not be on good terms, but they are extremely harmonious with the two brothers Guan Zhang. But now......
Shaking his head, getting rid of these inexplicable emotions, Emperor Road is a lonely road, at this moment, Li Xuan has a deeper understanding, and his eyes are more determined, because this is just the beginning, the future. There is a broader world waiting for you, the road of the emperor is in the process of survival of the fittest again and again, the best of the best, and the one who goes to the end is the real emperor!
"All the generals of Dayan obey the order, Lu Bu, Zhao Yun, Yue Fei, Kou Zhong and all the hundred generals in the Outer Dragon Court, within a month. Be sure to rush to the capital and open the world with me. The generals of all places, from now on, sort out the internal affairs, and after the opening of the sky, according to the merits of the Great Yan to me, the city lords. The guards will be selected and recorded, and all my Great Yan City Lord and Guardian will share the karma from God and Sub-God! Li Xuan raised his head and said to the sky, his voice. Through the dragon qi, under the rule of Great Yan, within the Three Kingdoms plane, every city official sounded in his mind, three times in a row.
"General Liu, did you hear ...... just now?"
In a city, Taishou looked at the general who was discussing the issue of military pay with him with some doubts, and frowned.
"I heard it, isn't it an auditory hallucination, it's really His Majesty's voice!?" A look of surprise flashed in General Liu's eyes.
"What does it mean to open the sky? And then there's the sub-god, the karmic position of the gods. "It's too incomprehensible.
"Open the sky? I don't know, but I've heard a few of them about the sub-gods and the subordinate gods. General Liu recalled: "Back then, I followed General Song to fight in Qingzhou, and I vaguely heard General Song Shidao, the son of General Song, mention that the top generals of my Dayan all enjoy the addition of karma, and the sub-god and the subordinate god represent two levels, and it is not clear how to divide them, but it can speed up the cultivation speed, not only the true qi, but the cultivation speed of various skills can also be improved under the blessing of the god. ”
"What!?" Tai Shou stood up in surprise, Li Xuan returned from the flood last time, but he brought back a lot of immortal cultivation exercises, and the first batch of beneficiaries were naturally the main generals of Dayan, the city lords, although the cultivation is shallow, and the cultivation is also the most basic method, but he can clearly feel that the cultivation is different from the true qi he has cultivated in the past, and the cultivation bonus may not feel much for ordinary people, but for people like them who have already embarked on the road of cultivating immortals with half a foot, it is too precious.
"Great!" When General Liu thought of this, his face couldn't help but flush with excitement.
"Don't be happy too early, what Your Majesty said, in terms of merit, merit-based recruitment, during this time, Vice General Gong is very active in stabilizing public security, but General Liu, you...... Hehe. Taishou looked at General Liu's excited expression and said loudly.
"Humph!" When General Liu heard this, his face couldn't help but change, and he snorted and said: "Taishou, the matter of military salary, you look at it, the bandits in Siping Mountain have been making a lot of trouble recently, and I want to lead the troops to suppress the bandits!" ”
Dropping a sentence, General Liu ran towards the military camp in a hurry, the same scene was constantly staged in the major cities of Dayan, what it means to open the sky, no one knows, but the god position is not a secret within the Dayan Empire, especially with the promotion of Li Xuan's imperial position, there are more and more gods who can be canonized on the god list, needless to say, the top officials of Dayan, the hundred generals of the Dragon Court, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, with the continuous growth of Dayan, one by one, the matter of the god position of Dayan has gradually spread among the officials of Dayan.
Accelerating or even doubling cultivation is not a trivial matter, especially for those generals who have already begun to cultivate immortals, it is a rare opportunity.
For a time, the Great Yan Empire, the cities of the soldiers and horses were frequently mobilized, and the bandits in the Great Yan territory were constantly exterminated by these red-eyed Great Yan generals one by one, and even pulled out a lot of remnants of the princes, at the same time, the Great Yan officials were also stimulated by the divine position, and quickly cleared, and the lower-level officials wanted to go further and enjoy the bonus of the divine position, and the cities and cities mainly defended their own status, and also increased the implementation of the new official rule of the Great Yan, for a time, the political clarity of the Great Yan, and a large number of talents stood out in this competition.
"Your Majesty's move, it's really clever!" A month later, looking at the information in his hand from the Great Yan Quartet since the beginning of the month, Liu Ji couldn't help but smile and said, many hidden dangers that originally existed because of the battle to dominate the world, with Li Xuan's voice, have been eliminated a lot, and the officials of the Longting Officials Department have also quickly submitted a list of outstanding talents in this tide of official governance.
"Do you want to take advantage of the situation?" Li Xuan smiled slightly, with a satisfied look in his eyes, in the past month, as the Great Yan Officials have been clearing, the dragon qi of the Dragon Court has become more and more, and it has become thicker and thicker.
"Your Majesty, the four generals Lu Bu, Zhao Yun, Yue Fei, and Kou Zhong, as well as the hundred generals of the Dragon Court, are already in place, I don't know when the sky will be opened?" Du Rumei stepped forward and asked with a little excitement in her eyes.
"Three days later, it is an auspicious day of the zodiac, just right for the opening of the sky, send orders to the generals of all departments, adjust the state to the peak state, three days later, we will not only open the sky, but also to welcome the strong people who covet my merits in opening the sky, this battle is related to my great flame in the future, and you must also be prepared!" Li Xuan said loudly.
"Commandment!"
……
Three days later, on the square of the Chaotian Temple, the huge altar of the human emperor slowly floated in the air, Li Xuan stepped on the altar of the dragon soul, looked up at the sky, and said loudly: "I Li Xuan, the co-master of the human race in the mortal world, the dragon qi of the four seas, today has reached the extreme of the human emperor, and I am willing to use the merit of opening the sky to promote the position of the human emperor!" ”
"Boom~"
As Li Xuan's words fell, a purple thunder suddenly fell from the sky, and with the momentum of destroying the world, it blasted towards the Human Emperor Altar at Li Xuan's feet.
This is the test of heaven and earth, the altar of the human emperor, born against the sky, if you want to advance, you must go through the calamity of heaven and earth to be promoted.
"Humph!" A cold glint flashed in Li Xuan's eyes, and he stretched out his hand to pull the void, and a huge fault seemed to appear in the entire heaven and earth, and the purple thunder struck, slamming this fault, and it was strangely absorbed by the fault.
"Hum~"
The altar of the Human Emperor suddenly let out a buzz, and at the same time, the entire heaven and earth also trembled suddenly, above the sky, a crack suddenly opened, and a golden light fell from the sky, submerging into the center of Li Xuan's eyebrows, and a large amount of information poured into Li Xuan's mind with this rate of golden light, which was actually a strange exercise, the legal name "Open Heaven Technique".
"Hum~"
In another buzzing sound, a dark cloud appeared out of thin air, covering the crack in the sky, and an unspeakable coercion pressed down towards the Dragon Court.
"Humph!" Li Xuan snorted coldly, stretched out his hand, and a huge sword was formed, slashing towards the dark clouds in the sky, and at the same time, he said sharply: "Open the heavens and the earth, the gods are disillusioned, open it to me!" ”
"Boom~"
The huge blade slashed through it, and the clouds in the air were instantly split apart with a single sword, revealing the spatial rift behind it.
"Imperial Golden Body, Long!" Li Xuan raised his head to the sky and let out a long roar, above the Dragon Court, the majestic dragon qi suddenly and quickly poured into Li Xuan's body, and at the same time, Li Xuan's body was like a balloon, rising in the wind, and in an instant, he had turned into a giant with a height of ten zhang, staring at the crack of heaven and earth in the sky, stretched out his hands, and in the void, two huge palms suddenly appeared, grabbing the cracked crack of heaven and earth, and the rich vitality of heaven and earth poured into the plane of the flood wilderness, Li Xuan shouted angrily: "The generals break through!" ”
"Yes!"
Lu Bu and the others agreed, and they were running the true distance that had already reached the limit in their bodies, and in the dantian, the martial arts Jindan, which represented the ultimate of the generals, trembled at the same time, and cracks quickly spread all over the Jindan, and the broken Dan became a baby, and it was actually hundreds of generals who were ready to break through the Jindan at the same time and enter the realm of the Yuanying, and the power of the rules of heaven and earth that originally bound them seemed to be much smaller at the moment, enough to make everyone break through collectively. (To be continued......)
