Chapter 87: Living and Dying with Dragon City
"Now the strength of the human race has not yet recovered to its peak, and it is difficult to fight with the barbarians; not to mention, when the barbarian khans burst out with all their strength, their strength is close to Yasheng, how can only a few old Yuanrong resist it? If it can be delayed until a new Yuanrong or even a new Yasheng appears...... Longcheng, Longcheng, why can't you have an accident later?" Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
On the Qianli River section outside the capital, almost every place is playing a scene similar to that of Southern Xuzhou, and the two clans have to throw down more than 100,000 lives almost every day, and this is just a sentinel battle between the two clans.
After the battle, everyone would always subconsciously look at the capital and the direction of the national courtyard, and there was only one expectation in their hearts, that is, they hoped that Lao Yuanrong would solve the problem of Longcheng as soon as possible and strangle the barbarians' southern invasion plan in the cradle.
......
In the capital, many lords and high-ranking officials gathered in the palace of the prime minister.
Everyone was talking about the cross-strait situation in the past month, and most of them were worried.
Zhongshu ordered Zhou Xueshu and Fan Ju'an, a subordinate servant, to sit in the first place, close their eyes and recuperate, quietly listening to everyone's discussions, and never expressed their attitudes from beginning to end.
Finally, an official couldn't help it, stood up and asked the two prime ministers, "Lord Zhou, Lord Fan, the barbarian clan's recent movements have become bigger and bigger, how should our lord and people act?"
The two opened their eyes and saw that the person who asked the question was Gu Hongzhuo, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites.
"How to act before, how to act now. Zhou Xueshu said.
All the officials were confused, and only some shrewd officials immediately understood and nodded their heads again and again.
"That ......" Gu Hongzhuo wanted to say and stopped.
"Fool, the barbarians cross the river, and we, as human races, naturally have to resist with all our might, why don't you open which pot to mention?" another high-ranking official scolded in a low voice.
"However, our ultimate goal is not to make the barbarians ......," Gu Hongzhuo said.
"It's too early, our plan is not yet ripe, if we let the barbarians cross the river at this time, the human race will be destroyed. Fan Ju'an shook his head and said, "Everyone, you must remember that although we and the main war faction are secretly fighting endlessly, whether it is the main war or the main peace, the ultimate goal is to save the human race, and the reason why the two factions have a struggle is nothing more than the incompatibility of the road and the concept;
Everyone understood.
......
Shang Shuling's mansion.
Shang Shu ordered Xu Liren to carry his pen like flying, and almost alone took on the liaison work of the main battle faction, and there were constantly front-line battle reports arriving here, and then Shang Shuling wrote notes and sent them to the inside of the palace;
A few more war reports came, and Shang Shu Xiao of the Ministry of War took a peek at Shang Shuling's gloomy face and shook his head.
"My lord, I heard that Zhou Xueshu had a banquet for all the officials of the Lord and the faction today...... Hmph, we are busy here, but the Lord and Pie are enjoying it. Xiao Shangzao snorted coldly.
"You misunderstood, but in fact, the Lord and the faction are more nervous than us, and today's banquet was also held by them to gather and discuss. Xu Liren smiled.
"Oh? Are they discussing some tricks to secretly stumble on us? Do you want to go down to the officials to beat them? Anyway, Zhou Xueshu can't beat me. ”
Xu Liren is even more unrestrained.
"No, not only will they not hinder us, but they don't want to see the barbarians cross the river more than us, I'm afraid they will be more active than us in the defense of the riverbank, so we can just wait for the imperial court to send troops to help. ”
"I don't believe that the Lord and the faction will send troops, and they have been fighting on the front line for more than half a month, and I haven't seen any movement from them. Xiao Shangzai pursed his lips and asked, "Now that the battle situation on the front line is very tight, do you want to mobilize the soldiers stationed in various conflicting worlds such as the 'Beacon Tower' and the 'Silk Road' to come to help?"
"If we invest in the Khan Horse Warriors, the barbarians will also invest in the Wolf Clan, the Royal Clan, and even the Thousand Commanders of the Khan Clan, and the battle will be more intense. Xu Liren shook his head, "Moreover, the war situation in the world of strife is also tight, once the human race in it is mobilized, it will inevitably give the barbarians an opportunity to take advantage of, I am afraid this is one of the purposes of the barbarians; ”
......
National Court.
Dozens of elders sat in the meeting hall, talking about the current general trend, but the atmosphere in the hall was very dull, everyone was talking about the main point at all, and the first one was sitting Wei Lao Yuanrong, who was looking at the sky outside the window at the moment, and his eyes reflected the battlefield filled with gunpowder smoke by the river, while Chen Lao Yuanrong was nowhere to be found.
At this time, a sacrificial member of the martial temple stumbled in, looking very panicked.
"Oh no, no! Dragon City, Dragon City Passage is about to collapse!"
Several old men stood up with a sigh, and one of them asked urgently: "What happened to the heroic soul of Huai and Huai Roubo? If his heroic soul awakens, how can the Dragon City Passage collapse?!"
The sacrificial staff wept and mourned.
"Chen Lao Yuanrong tried his best to wake up, but in vain, and now Huai Roubo's heroic soul has fallen into a deep sleep again!" he said.
Everyone was shocked.
Huai Roubo's heroic soul will forever suppress Dragon City, and when he is overconsumed, he will fall into a deep sleep, and he will only wake up after more than ten years, and each awakening can only last for more than a hundred years.
Dragon City is a small world that has guarded the frontier of the human race for generations, and its deterrent power to the barbarians is far greater than other forces of the human race; if Huai Roubo's heroic soul falls into a deep sleep again, the dragon city will inevitably break away from the control of the human race for more than ten years in the next ten years, and once the threat of the dragon city is lost, the barbarians will drive straight into the south of the Yangtze River!
Last time, the Terrans lost the protection of the Dragon City, and after several years of bloody battles with the barbarians who invaded the south, they lost the Great Wall, the Yellow River and the Central Plains, and had to retreat to the south of the Yangtze River.
This time, if the barbarians cross the Yangtze River, will the weakened human race have the ability to resist?
Even if they relied on the vast mountains and rivers south of the Yangtze River to fight against the barbarians, the answer was still obvious.
If the land south of the Yangtze River is lost, where can the human race retreat?
Several old men sat down in their seats, their pupils dilated and their expressions sluggish.
Several other middle-aged people stood up.
"Training for 100 days, using soldiers for a while, now, is the time for me to serve the country!" said one of them, loyal to the liver sublimation.
"Life, I want, righteousness, I want, I can't have both, and he who sacrifices his life to take righteousness!"
"Ladies and gentlemen, we have worked together for many years in this life, and I hope we can see each other in the next life. "One person is polite and says goodbye to all.
These people are all peerless geniuses who were born in the Jiangmen and have outstanding talents, and they were promoted to heroes at a young age and joined the ranks of the elders of the National Academy, and they are one of the hopes for the future of the human race.
Now, however, they are ready to serve their country loyally, sacrifice their lives for righteousness, and die generously to give their lives for future races wars.
After they left, the rest of the people all bowed their heads and sighed.
The extinction of the human race is imminent, what is there to be nostalgic for?
So one by one, the patriarchs got up and left their seats, said goodbye to the rest, and went to their respective families to prepare for a full-scale battle.
Everyone knows that their parting may be the eternal separation of heaven and man.
In the council hall, except for the immovable Wei Lao Yuanrong, there were only three old flying generals left, not because they were greedy for life and afraid of death, but because the national court still needed someone to maintain its operation.
One of them looked at Lao Yuanrong, who was silent the whole time.
"Lord Yuancheng, the collapse of the Dragon City Passage is imminent, do you want to let Huai Roubo's descendants of the General Gate completely withdraw from Dragon City?" the man asked.
"I will inform them personally. Wei Lao Yuanrong said.
"Besides, tomorrow is the day of the 'Yuedan Review', do you want to hold it as usual?" asked another.
"It will be held as usual, and the Dragon City will be announced to the world through the 'Yuedan Commentary'. ”
Everyone's faces turned pale.
"Lord Yuancheng, this move is a little inappropriate, I'm afraid it will cause panic among all the human race. The former said cautiously.
"Everyone should know the truth, if the Terrans don't rise up this time, they won't have a chance next time......"
Wei Lao Yuanrong's voice fell, and he turned his head to look out the window again, and stopped speaking.
Several old flying generals had red eyes and bowed their heads to receive orders.
......
Dragon City in the Endless Void, in the Central Wolf Lord's Mansion.
"My lord, the two court officials have sent an edict one after another, asking you to immediately withdraw all the defenders and residents of the city to the mainland, and by tomorrow at the latest, the passage of the Dragon City will completely collapse. ”
"Well, you pass on my password to let all the unrelated residents evacuate, in addition, you thanked the two old Yuanrong for me, and said that my Li family has guarded Dragon City for generations, born as the defender of Dragon City, and died as the ghost of Dragon City, and I, Li Weilong, live and die together with Dragon City. A middle-aged man said calmly.
......
Barbarians, Ding Zero is in the account.
"Ah? The above is urging me to enter the army again? At the most, I can only send a thousand commanders? Doesn't this let me watch my brothers go across the river to die? No! No! When Luo Zirui makes a move, you will call me again. Duo Duohan turned over and ignored the herald.
"Your Majesty, you have disobeyed your orders five times, and the Great Khan has come down with anger, and I am the one who suffers......" the herald wept with a sad face.
......
Yingzhou in the East China Sea.
An old man with white hair hugged left and right, teasing dozens of beauties around him while listening to the report of his Minister of the Interior.
“...... The above is the situation on both sides of the Yangtze River, Your Majesty the Jade Emperor, do we need to intervene?" asked the Minister of the Interior, bowing his head.
"Hmm, what does the situation in the mainland have to do with this emperor, no matter who becomes the overlord of the continent from the human race or the barbarians, they can't reach Yingzhou, what do they do...... Ouch, Lanki, have you lost weight lately? The old Jade Emperor pinched the beauty's waist with a hippie smile, which immediately caused the other party to exclaim.
The corners of the Home Secretary's mouth twitched.
"Your Majesty, once the Terrans are destroyed, you will have no silk to wear. The Home Secretary secretly looked up and looked away.
The old Jade Emperor stood up with a snort, and the two beauties beside him fell to the side in surprise.
"How can this be done?!Passing on the Emperor's Jade Order, all races in Yingzhou are preparing for war with all their might!" the old Jade Emperor shook the incomparably luxurious silk robe on his body and shouted.

(PS: Yesterday, a reader in the group took a screenshot and showed the flow of various pirated websites and reader book reviews on a certain artifact, which is nothing more than scolding the flow of the text before and after a lot of settings and details of the BUG, and then said that this book follows the trend of Confucianism.) Flowing water wants to explain:I wrote this paragraph,It's not to deny piracy.,It's just because there are many settings in this book.,It's inevitable that it will cause conflicts between the previous and the current setting.,So I often go back to modify the previous settings and details of the BUG.,Pirated websites and an artifact won't update my modified content.,I'm worried that pirated readers won't be happy to read it.,So I suggest that you all come to the starting point to see the genuine text.,Anyway, it's free.,Why go to see the pirated version full of loopholes?)
(PS2: Regarding the matter of following Confucianism and Taoism, Flowing Water has also said many times, and I also admit that my book is indeed Confucianism and Taoism, and I wrote it after reading Confucianism and Taoism; I failed to jump out of Confucianism and Taoism at first, resulting in the first few chapters being too similar to Confucianism and Taoism, but my comrades-in-arms will understand that this book is actually basically different from Confucianism and Taoism, and many settings and plots do not have much overlap with Confucianism and Taoism. This book is not a simple, narrow novel of the art of war, but a broader novel of Chinese culture, Confucianism and Taoism novels are difficult to write well without a large amount of knowledge accumulation of Chinese culture, but Liushui is confident to write well, I hope you will support more. Finally, there will be two more today, ask for a recommendation vote~)
