Chapter 145: The world is in turmoil

As the army marched, a fast horse caught up with the troops.

"Xiaguan Feng Liangping, meet the prince." Feng Liangping dismounted and knelt down, his clothes were half torn, and half of his body was covered with yellow dust.

"The grain and grass baggage of Pinghe and Fanhe counties have been handed over, and the big clans in all places have been softened, and I handed over the affairs of the two counties to Jiang Kuan before leaving."

"Haha-" Lu Xing laughed, Le Ma paused for a moment, looked at Feng Liangping who was kneeling on the side, and said, "No need to say more, get on the horse and follow, let's talk while walking."

"No." Feng Liangping turned on his horse and followed.

"The big war is imminent, it is the time to observe and learn the deployment of troops, you are my personal right-hand man, so naturally I can't miss such a good opportunity. Don't learn about the war on paper, but have more experience in actual combat."

"Thank you, when the minister was studying in Yingtian Academy, in addition to all kinds of monsters, his favorite place to read was this book of soldiers, these six Tao three strategies, and the two grandsons are familiar with the art of war, and the lack of land is a practical opportunity."

Lu Xing rode his horse and laughed, "You still like to watch Zhiwei? It seems that you are not honest as a scholar."

"Let the prince laugh." Toyo Rahei whipped up and followed.

"Rack!" Lu Xing rode a horse to raise dust, and the horsewhip fell with a bang, "Feng Liangping, I am willing to ride a horse and gallop, you and I are more equestrian!"

Feng Liangping shouted, "Humble skills, please forgive me."

At this moment, the army was still three days away from the Tianshan Mountains, and on the other side of the mountain, the movement of the army could be seen from that place.

Zhuo Shangnuan looked at the scene of the cavalry galloping and sighed: "It is really magnificent, the territory is more than ten miles, and the galloping of thousands of horses is shocking." She turned her head to look at Dong Xiangxue beside her, and asked with a smile on the corner of her mouth, she had already made up her mind to take Dong Xiangxue back to the academy, and Dong Xiangxue had already agreed, "How should Miss Xiangxue describe this magnificence?"

Dong Xiangxue was wearing a plain dress, with coarse cloth sewn on the cuffs, her fingers twitched the gap in the coarse cloth, and whispered, "Xiao Xiao Ma Ming, leisurely and beautiful." Allow the gentleman, and the exhibition will also be successful."

"Our son led his troops north, and this time he will become a real man from the north, fighting on the battlefield and defending the country." z.br>

Zhuo Shangnuan echoed, "Yes, Lu Xing is indeed an extremely wonderful person."

"Wonderful?" Dong Xiangxue glanced at Zhuo Shangnuan in surprise, and said with a smile: "It's the first time I've heard others say this, it's really exciting, it's no less than passing five levels and killing six generals, and now the son of the world is more than half of the avenue, and after he defeats the barbarians, he can rightfully become the king of the northern land."

Zhuo Shangnuan looked up at the sky, seeing that the blue sky was boundless, and there was a faint sword mark on the sky, "I saw a sword that shocked the sky in the battle that day, it should be that the martial immortal is still alive, right?" No matter how good Lu Xing is, he can't compete with Lord Lu Shuang."

Dong Xiangxue smiled calmly: "The words are not bad, they all say that the royal family has no family affection, and they can give up anything in order to win the throne. It's just that I don't think that's the case with the brothers and sisters surnamed Lu, their blood is thicker than water, there is no sparseness between generations, there is no clan disaster, although the surname Lu is small, but it wins the hearts of the people."

"Xiang Xue is right, so do you think Lu Shuang will give up to Lu Xing?"

"I don't know," Dong Xiangxue smiled, the green silk fell on her cheeks, and her forehead greeted the warm sunlight of the morning, "I wasn't born to know, Shang Nuan asked me I didn't know either, so, Shang Nuan wants to know?" I'm curious."

Zhuo Shangnuan looked at Dong Xiangxue's side face, and suddenly felt that there were countless good things in the world, and said solemnly: "What Xiang Xue thinks in his heart is what he thinks in my heart, I just listen to you."

"Okay, follow me to the Tianshan Mountains, I want to see the most majestic thing in the world." Dong Xiangxue stepped on the saddle and got on the horse, and spurred the horse to rush down the hillside.

Zhuo Shangnuan hurriedly got on the horse and chased after him, shouting, "Xiang Xue, what is the majesty of the world?"

"When it is—the dragon fights in the wilderness, and the sky is thrown."

At this moment, thousands of miles away from the dragon vein Kyoto, Kyushu hundred officials gathered together, if there is a Taoist priest from a distance, you can see the five-clawed golden dragon soaring above the temple, during which the five-colored auspicious clouds are all evolved by the righteousness of Haoran.

"We come to the Holy One." Prime Minister Xu Deng and Generalissimo Wang Tu stood on both sides, and all the officials bowed, for which the two only had to bow.

Tao Zhongshu, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, came out of the ranks, holding Yugui and playing: "On the sage, Xuejin City is brutal and ruthless, and the death of King Ran in Jiacheng is harmonious, and King Ran's envoys have been in Beijing for many days, and they come to the minister's mansion to make trouble, and the minister has tried his best to drag him down, and now he is really poor in donkey skills, I hope Your Majesty will allow him to go to the court to see him."

Behind the golden curtain, Wang Xie stabilized the dragon throne, and his voice was majestic, "Yes, summon the envoys of King Ran!"

The eunuch standing on the steps shouted at the top of his voice, "Summoning the envoys of King Ran to meet you—"

There is no surprise that the hundreds of officials are standing in their places, and the content of this morning's court meeting is usually arranged last night.

King Ran's envoys came to the front of the hall and knelt three times and bowed nine times, walked to the hall step by step, and knelt in the same position as the three rank masters.

"The foreign minister Yao Li visited the saint, and the female thief Lu Xing killed my king's beloved son, and hoped that the saint would take pity on my remote town and kill Lu Xing for my king."

"Wait," Song Long, the secretary of the military department, came out and said, "King Ran led his soldiers Jia Wanliu into our country, saying that he wanted to kill Lu Xing to avenge his great revenge, but on the way, he plundered my people of the Great Zhou Dynasty everywhere, and the people in the places they passed were not happy. The Holy Mercy has opened the door for you, but you don't know how to commit robbers. Such a brazen person dares to cry miserably above my court!"

"What? You...... How can you say that? Is it true that I am a wild land? If it weren't for you and the arrow god Zhang Jiugong to stop him, Lu Xing would have been the soul of my king's sword. You say that you are willing to make things easier for my king, but where you are not hindered everywhere, and if you do not ask for food in the place, why is my king plundering the people?"

Generalissimo Wang Tu came out of the ranks and said, "Your Majesty, King Wu is missing, civil strife has broken out in Xuejin City, and the barbarians have raised millions of troops to attack the northern land. You must know that Youzhou is only 500 miles away from the north, and if the northland is turbulent, I am afraid that Kyoto will be in danger, and I hope that Your Majesty will make a decision as soon as possible and send troops to guard against barbarians."

Regardless of the occasion, Yao Li said angrily, "Fighting barbarians? Are you going to unite with the land line? Do you still have to raise troops to help the Northland?"

Wang Tu glanced at Yao Li and said contemptuously: "In the land of Dongran, the soldiers of the whole country have the strength to fight, how can they know the military affairs of the world? The old man was ordered by the saint to lead the military power of Kyushu, and when he saw Kyushu, the old man knew that the north had to face more than one barbarian, but also the heavenly forces behind it. Therefore, the northern land cannot be lost, and like Dongran, the people of the northern land are also the people of my court, and I implore the saint to raise troops to save them."

Wang Xie's majestic voice came from behind the golden curtain, and suddenly the officials of the entire hall were silent.

"What the generalissimo said is reasonable, the people of the northern land are also lonely people, and the northern land is in trouble, and the lonely should save it."

At this moment, Xu Deng suddenly came out of the queue and shouted: "Saint, Xichu is already willing to bow down and be a vassal for my king's fief for generations." The meaning of this is that the soldiers and horses that suppressed Western Chu can already be mobilized, the grain and grass are ready, the soldiers and horses are abundant, and they have the ability to wave their troops north.

"Good!" Wang Xie's voice resounded throughout the Jinluan Palace, "Pass the order, I will take the royal expedition and help me pacify the barbarians in the north!"

"What? The saint is confused, the ambition of the wolf son of the Northland, instead of plotting is digging his own grave!"

"Ridiculous!" Wang Xie's voice was suddenly cold, and every word had murderous intent, "It's time for the envoy to go back to Dongran, bring a word to Uncle Qi for me, and when the north is cleaned up, I will go to the East China Sea alone."

After the words fell, two guards with knives stepped forward to take Yao Li away.

"Retreat!"

"Your Majesty, long live my emperor, long live, long live!" Hundreds of officials prostrate to send them to the saints.

Xu Deng and Wang Tu knew each other, the two of them couldn't leave, and there was still a small meeting to be held after the conference.

The Imperial Study.

"What do you think, when should we attack the Northland this time?" Wang Xie put pen to paper and wrote down two mighty and domineering words - "Northland".

Xu Deng sat down on the red chair beside him, drank tea by himself, and said, "It has to be Your Majesty's tea, but the tea in the minister's mansion is still a little worse."

Wang Tu sat down and said solemnly, "Although Western Chu has already concluded an alliance, they will rebel against it. There is also Dong Ran, today's court meeting has completely angered them, we should still leave some soldiers and horses to guard against Xi Chu and Dong Ran, one side has the White Emperor as the backing, and the other side has the Xushan Fox Demon as the backing,

Don't take it lightly."

Wang Xie looked at Xu Deng and said, "A little tea, if Aiqing likes it, I will send it to your house when I go back." But what Uncle Wang said should not be taken lightly, do you have a high opinion?"

Xu Deng said lightly: "Western Chu will not innocently tear up the alliance, unless my tribe is in decline, they will not send troops. According to my information, when the Gate of Heaven was opened two months ago, eight celestial beings joined forces to besiege Chen Wei and seriously injured him. He is an outcast of the Dao Sect, and the Heavenly Master will naturally not rescue him, he can only recuperate in Xu Mountain, and the great demon Su Tu is collecting the world's elixir to heal him."

"The White Emperor has no time, he is not in the East China Sea at all, there is reliable news, the current Jingwei has been born, and he is looking for the whereabouts of Jingwei's reincarnation all over the world."

"So," Xu Deng took a sip of tea and said lightly, "I only need to wait for the time to send troops this time, defeat the main force of the enemy army with one blow, and then gradually encroach on the territory of the Northlands."

Wang Tu frowned and said, "There is one thing to worry about, the desert tiger cavalry in the northern land has not yet participated in the battle, if they ambush troops in the northern land, we are afraid that it will be difficult for us to storm the cities in the northern land."

Their goal was never the Northern Barbarians, what the imperial court said was just a pretext, and it was the Northern Army that they wanted to defeat and exterminate. and Western Chu, unite with the barbarians, and then destroy the northern land, this is the strategy set by the Kyoto thinkers.

Xu Deng said: "On the day of the army, I will contact a few Western Regions Kingdom rebels, let them drag the desert tiger horse, the flow of information between the Western Regions and Kyushu is inconvenient, I will send a team of masters to stop at the pass, and kill one when I see the messenger, let alone delay it for a month, and we will have already taken half of the northern lands by then."

Wang Xie patted Zhuozi and said, "Good. If you do so, you will be overwhelmed."
