Time is ticking!

In the blink of an eye, another two months have passed.

In the past two months, with the blessing of Li Kuan's fame, Murong Fu has gone more smoothly along the way.

Countless martial arts people chose to join Murong Fu's command after hearing that Murong Fu's cousin-in-law, that is, Li Kuan was a celestial!

Their purpose is relatively unified, they want to get Murong Fu's appreciation by performing in front of Murong Fu, and then get Li Kuan's guidance with the help of Murong Fu.

In this way, Murong Fu's army became stronger and stronger, and it was getting closer and closer to Kaifeng Mansion.

And the 500,000 army of the imperial court took two months to reluctantly gather because of the execution of the Northern Song court's drag.

This also indicates that the time for the decisive battle between the two sides has come!

"Ahem, cough~" Zhao Xu covered his mouth and kept coughing, his face was extremely pale.

His body has not been very good since he was a child.

Later, in order to subvert the old party started by his mother, he fought wits and courage with Sima Guang and others for a long time, wasting a lot of brain power and energy, making his health even worse.

Originally, he would have died seven or eight years later, at the age of twenty-five.

However, because Murong Fu has been approaching Kyoto in the Northern Song Dynasty, that is, Kaifeng Mansion, his mental pressure has increased dramatically, and his physical condition has further deteriorated.

Now, he's going to look like this!

"How's it going?"

Zhao Xu asked Zeng Bu on the side.

"Now that our 500,000 army has been gathered, we will soon meet the 200,000 army led by the traitor Murong Fu!" Zeng Bu Zhengsedao.

As he spoke, his voice changed, and he hesitated a little, "But..."

"But what?" Zhao Xu hurriedly asked.

"The celestial man who appeared on Taihu Lake is rumored to be Murong Fu's cousin-in-law, and now many martial arts people have chosen to join Murong Fu's army for this reason!"

"And when the time comes, if these martial arts people attack and kill the generals in our army through assassination, it is likely to cause our army to fall apart!" Zeng Bu said in a deep voice.

"What about our martial artists?" Zhao Xu frowned.

"My country is still civil, and there are not many strong martial arts in itself, even if there are generals in the army, most of them are Confucian generals..."Zeng Bu said until the end, his voice couldn't help but lower.

Confucianism is a nice way to say, but in fact, it is a group of scholars who don't understand anything.

The Northern Song Dynasty Shangwen suppressed martial arts and has reached a change. At the point of state, most of the generals are literati, originally they all came through scientific examinations, and they themselves do not understand military affairs, let alone personal combat effectiveness, except for a few people, most of them do not understand martial arts at all.

And!

Most of the 500,000 troops transferred this time are domestic, not border.

In the Northern Song Dynasty, the army on the border was the most combat-ready, and the generals were basically not weak scholars... This is also a matter of no choice, there are often wars on the border, and weak scholars dare not go at all, and if they are not strong, they will also die in the battles again and again.

But it's different in China.

Although corrupt officials and corrupt officials were rampant in the Northern Song Dynasty, it has to be said that the overall trend in the country was relatively stable.

In this case, those literati naturally don't mind being generals, so the domestic army is all "Confucian generals"!

"This..."

Zhao Xu frowned, and he didn't know what to do.

He is also a person who is more energetic, judging from the fact that he promoted the new law after he came to power and was able to govern, you can know that he has an enterprising heart, and in order to better develop the country, he often goes out to listen to the voice of the people, so he also has a clearer understanding of things at home and abroad.

Therefore, he naturally knows what the so-called Confucian generals are.

Then!

"And in the army, there are some martial artists who are powerful in themselves, and after hearing that Murong Fu's cousin-in-law is a celestial, they directly chose to withdraw from the army!" Zeng Bu said with a heavy face.

Zhao Xu frowned, and asked again, "Then... What about those great masters who usually befriend us in the Northern Song Dynasty? ”

When it reaches the realm of the Great Grandmaster, it can be called a small mobile natural disaster, so the social status is basically different.

Even the Northern Song Dynasty, a country that was still civilized and suppressed martial arts, chose to be friendly with the great grandmaster!

"Those great grandmaster-level powerhouses who usually befriend us are silent now, obviously... They were afraid of that celestial man! Zeng Bu said hesitantly.

Zhao Xu's brows furrowed deeper and deeper.

One bad news after another, almost took his breath away.

Long!

"Whew~"

Zhao Xu took a deep breath, as if he had made some major choice, and said in a deep voice, "It seems... I can only ask the second uncle to get out of the customs! ”

"It's true that King Wu is a great grandmaster, but at most, it will deter fellow grandmasters, or those grandmasters, innate martial artists, if the rumors in the rivers and lakes are true, when Murong Fu invites that celestial, I'm afraid... It's a big problem! Zeng Bu said euphemistically.

Big trouble was already as euphemistic as he could say.

In fact, in this world, celestial beings are equivalent to humanoid nuclear bombs, or the kind with large yield.

If a celestial wants to slaughter a city, even if it is a big city, it can do it in half an hour at most, and even if there is an army in that city, it is impossible to stop him.

What's more, the celestial people could easily break through the palace's defenses and kill Zhao Xu directly.

This is very bad for Zhao Xu!

"Jiuyin Zhenjun Huang Shang used to be a small official in my country, and later because the ancestor liked Daozang, he arranged for him to publish Daozang, and he also read thousands of Taoist scriptures, which is why he is today, and later, although he broke away from our Northern Song Dynasty, but he still left a little affection, I think there should be no problem with this to let him come forward to stop Taihu!" Zhao Xu thought for a while and said.

"But the Nine Yin True Monarch is not the opponent of that celestial!"

Zeng Bu frowned and said, "According to intelligence, Huang Shang was defeated and admitted defeat that day!" ”

"But you're not dead, are you?"

After Zhao Xu asked rhetorically, he said, "Since he didn't die, it means that Jiuyin Zhenjun may be a little weaker than that celestial, but it is not much weaker, just by virtue of this, Jiuyin Zhenjun doesn't say that he can stop that celestial, at least let that celestial give him a face, and don't get involved in this matter, it should be okay, right?" ”

"The Emperor Shengming!"

Zeng Bu thought about it, and when he gave it up, he had to agree with this statement.

---

The other side!

"Murong Fu is really good, he is going to Kaifeng Mansion so soon!" Li Kuan looked at the latest information in his hand, and couldn't help but show a smile on his face.

The faster Murong Fu develops, the better it will naturally be for him, after all... Murong Fu ostensibly wanted to restore his country, but in fact, without knowing it, he was expanding his territory for Li Kuan!

"Send him another batch of weapons and equip them! Let the army expand a little more, although these 200,000 people have gone through many battles, their combat strength is okay, but after all, the opponent is 500,000, just by relying on the numerical advantage, the other party can also make the army under Murong Fu suffer a devastating blow! ”

"At that time, if Zhao Xu runs away again, runs a little farther, so that Murong Fu can't catch up for a while, and then mobilizes the border army to come back regardless of it, maybe Murong Fu will be in danger of being wiped out, and even if he wins in the end, those surrounding countries may take advantage of the fire to rob!" Li Kuan thought secretly in his heart.

The weapons and equipment given to Murong Fu are nothing.

Those cold weapons, leather armor and the like, although they are very good in this plane, are actually inferior products in Li Kuan's eyes, and they are not rare for Li Kuan's subordinates to wear.

Thinking of this, Li Kuan had his own thoughts in his heart!

"When Murong Fu defeats the Northern Song Dynasty and tests the foundation of the Northern Song Dynasty, I can mobilize the army of the Great Chu State to come over and attack this face..."
