Outside the city.

Listening to Zhang Ji's words, Cao Lao nodded.

He pulled out the steel knife at his waist, and a dodge had already rushed out.

Leaving an afterimage in mid-air, extremely fast.

You can even faintly hear the sound of a sonic boom.

Puff –

Puff –

Puff –

Puff –

Almost instantly, countless lines of blood light appeared.

Immediately after, more than 1,000 human heads rose into the air.

And the corpses of more than 1,000 people sat on war horses, blood splattered from their necks.

Seeing this scene, even Xiang Yu couldn't help but gasp.

Because the other party's strength is stronger than him, this kind of momentum he has experienced in the black robe before.

Xiang Yu's eyes narrowed slightly, and a hint of battle spirit flashed in the corners of his eyes.

"Half-step innate powerhouse, hehe interesting!"

As he spoke, Xiang Yu took a step into the air.

Although he was the pinnacle of the ninth grade of the acquired realm, and the other party was already half a realm higher than him, Xiang Yu was not afraid.

He really wanted to know how effective he was now.

At this moment, Xiang Yu's overlord spear had already stabbed at Cao Lao.

Cao Lao's eyes narrowed slightly, his eyes were cold, he didn't speak, brandished a long knife and hit Xiang Yu together.

Ping Pong –

Ping Pong –

Ping Pong –

Almost instantly, Xiang Yu and Cao Lao had already fought for dozens of rounds without a win.

Weapons collide and sparks fly.

The two of them took a full stick of incense and took a step back.

And Cao Lao also took a step back.

Cao Lao looked at Xiang Yu with a hint of appreciation in his eyes: "Hehe, the young man is so good at kung fu, so talented, you are buried in Dayan, how about coming to my Northern Wei Dynasty?" As long as you come to the Northern Wei Dynasty, I can ask the emperor to give you the title of king, and even give you a piece of land to make you the emperor of the soil, how about it? ”

Xiang Yu looked at Cao Lao's eyes with a little contempt: "Thank you, but you don't have to." ”

Yes, Xiang Yu's eyes when he looked at Cao Lao were contemptuous.

Half-step innate, Xiang Yu originally thought that the other party would be very strong.

However, I never expected that it would be a draw.

It seems that the half-step innate realm is not very good.

As long as he can reach the half-step innate realm, he has the confidence to challenge the powerhouse of the innate realm.

Although there were not many powerhouses in the Innate Realm, Xiang Yu knew that there must be one in their Guardian Temple, and there were quite a few.

Did he know that the Guardian Sanctuary had eighteen Dharma Protector Elders, the four Dharma Kings, two deputy hall masters, and one hall master.

Qin Zhengming was one of the eighteen Dharma Protector Elders, and his strength was the Innate Realm.

This shows how strong the Guardian Sanctuary hidden in the Great Yan Palace is.

Cao Lao returned to Zhang Ji's side.

And Zhang Ji was also full of shock, he didn't expect Cao Lao, a half-step innate master, to draw with a master of the Nine Grades of the Acquired Realm, which made him a little difficult to accept.

Zhang Ji smiled awkwardly and smiled at Li Yuanfang on the city wall: "Commander Li, can you let us enter the city now?" ”

Li Yuanfang smiled disdainfully: "Your mission is full of 1,000 people, right?" Our Dayan Kyoto is very small, and we can't accommodate you people, so you can bring a hundred people into the city, and the rest stay outside to dispose of the corpses of the Roman mission. ”

This......

A hint of anger flashed in Zhang Ji's eyes.

He didn't expect that Li Yuanfang, a domestic slave, would not give any face at all.

But Zhang Ji didn't dare to attack.

Because the strongest person around him is Cao Lao, and now Cao Lao can't take advantage, plus Tang Tingbai's tyrant mad dog-like character.

He could only nod helplessly and led a hundred people into Dayan Kyoto.

Xuanzheng Palace, civil and military officials gathered here.

Tang Tingbai sat on the dragon chair: "Ladies and gentlemen, you should have heard about the envoys of the Northern Wei Dynasty coming to Dayan Kyoto, right?" I haven't summoned him yet, you all tell me what this envoy of the Northern Wei Dynasty is going to do when he comes to my Dayan Kyoto? ”

This......

The civil and military officials looked at each other.

Prime Minister Su Zhen took a step forward: "Your Majesty, the Northern Wei Dynasty is a fierce tiger, and it is a fierce tiger that cannot afford to be profitable early, the minister thinks that he should want to share some interests, after all, in recent times, our Dayan has risen too fast, and its strength is getting stronger and stronger, and the minister feels that the Northern Wei Dynasty may be planning to let us be his vassal country and occupy the entire Eastern Regions with our hands." ”

The central general Zhuge Invincible also nodded: "The old minister also agrees with the Prime Minister's words, the gap between the strength of my Dayan and the Northern Wei is too big, and the Northern Wei can easily send 100,000 people to destroy my Dayan's army of three or four hundred thousand, the gap between the two sides is too big, and the Northern Wei also knows this clearly, which is obviously ...... It's obviously bullying. ”

Tang Tingbai frowned and did not speak.

At this time, the civil and military officials also spoke.

These extras will never miss any opportunity to show their faces.

"Your Majesty, there must be no war between us and the Northern Wei Dynasty, the minister heard that the Northern Wei Dynasty has eight million troops, and the third-class legion has five million people, and the strength of these people is in the ninth rank of the Xuan Rank, and the second-class legion has two million people, and the strength has reached the first rank of the terrifying level, as for the first-class legion, although it is only one million, but the strength has reached the fifth rank of the ground level, our gap is too big, we must not be rash, otherwise Dayan is likely to destroy the country."

"The old minister seconded the proposal, now the gap between the Northern Wei Dynasty and our Dayan is too big, the emperor, you will slaughter the city at every turn, once the Northern Wei Dynasty sends troops to my Dayan, in case of slaughtering the city, it is definitely my Dayan people who will suffer, please think twice, summon the envoys of the Northern Wei Dynasty, you must collect your temper, the Northern Wei Dynasty is not something that Dayan can provoke now."

"The old minister seconded the proposal, please think twice."

"The old minister also seconded the proposal, please think twice!"

“……”

For a time, there was a lot of discussion among the military officials in the court.

Hundreds of officials, only two did not speak.

One is the new Taifu Zhang Song.

One is Zhang Tiandao, the head of the household department.

Tang Tingbai sat on the dragon chair and looked at the two calmly.

"Zhang Butang, you can talk quite a lot on weekdays, why don't you speak today? If I'm not mistaken, you should be a member of Nanshan, what's wrong? You don't plan to agree with the Prime Minister's suggestion? ”

Zhang Tiandao smiled bitterly and nodded.

"Your Majesty, the minister's suggestion is to fight, do your best to fight, even if the domestic army is all gone, you have to fight."

"The minister wants to tell the emperor and all the lords a story, how about it?"

Tang Tingbai nodded with a smile, he was very curious about what Zhang Tiandao could say: "Okay, you say, I listen." ”

Zhang Tiandao took a deep breath.

"Zhou Guangkun, the minister and the minister, has known each other since he was a child, and he studied together, and he has been a good friend since he was a child."

"I remember when the minister was fourteen years old, two children of a family who were taller than us bullied us, slapped us in the face, and even verbally abused our family, we read the book of saints, and we didn't want to deal with them, but they had to inch in, and the next day they saw us continue to bully us, they thought we were afraid, and asked us for money, if we didn't have money, let us steal the family's money."

"At that time, I was young and timid."

"I can only listen to them, but the end result is that they took the money, beat us severely, and even tied the two of us to the pillars of the school and humiliated us."

Speaking of this, Zhang Tiandao looked at the civil and military officials.

"Ladies and gentlemen, you should understand what this story means, right?"

The civil and military officials looked at each other, and Qi Qi smiled bitterly and nodded.

Even Su Zhen and Zhuge Invincible nodded.

They all understand what Zhang Tiandao means, and they all understand it.

It's nothing more than that if this time is compromised, if it is coaxed, the Northern Wei Dynasty will only gain more inches.

But Dayan could not be the opponent of the Northern Wei Dynasty at all.

Once there is a war, Dayan will be the end of the destruction of the country.

It is clear that it is more important to be alive than to be without dignity.

On the dragon chair, Tang Tingbai didn't speak, and looked at Zhang Song: "What do you think about Taifu?" ”

Zhang Song smiled, and he cleared his throat.

"Your Majesty, the old minister's suggestion is also to fight."

"My Dayan is not afraid of war, no one wants to pee on my Dayan's neck, they should fight back."

"Just like Zhang Butang said, we are afraid, the Northern Wei Dynasty will only intensify even more, and the money and grain in the Dayan treasury now are enough to support us in this battle!"

Tang Tingbai smiled with satisfaction, and his mood was much better.

Tang Tingbai looked at Zhang Tiandao of the household department again: "Zhang Butang, how much silver is there in the household department now?" ”

Zhang Tiandao replied without hesitation: "Back to the emperor, there are still 22 billion taels of silver in the treasury of the household department, excluding the expenses for the next year, as well as dealing with various natural and man-made disasters, this time the household department can do its best to come up with 15 billion taels of silver as military expenses!" ”

For money, Zhang Tiandao kept it all in mind.

In fact, in Dayan's history, there has never been so much money in the treasury.

He is very happy in this department, especially after Tang Tingbai became the emperor, he almost doesn't need to worry about money.

Tang Tingbai touched his chin and did not answer immediately, but went directly into the system.

He wants to change the soldiers of Dayan with the best weapons and armor......
