Chapter Ninety-Two: Conspiracy
The imperial capital of Great Xia, Taibo Lake.
A huge dragon boat slowly moved on the surface of the lake, surrounded by dozens of boats full of armor soldiers cruising on guard.
When the emperor goes out of the palace to play, except for patrolling, he usually doesn't make such a big fanfare, but Xia Ao doesn't want to hide in a small way.
As the ruler of the Great Xia Dynasty, where do you need to be cautious and walk on thin ice when playing in your own imperial capital?
On this trip, he even brought out more than 30 concubines to watch the tide rise and fall on the dragon boat together, and enjoy the red moon and white moon.
On the top floor of the dragon boat, Yuan Tiangang came in a hurry.
"Your Majesty, the land of the five prefectures in the north of the Dayue Dynasty has lost three of them, and at present, the two sides are fighting a bloody battle around Linglu County, where the Yuanshi vein is located."
"In addition, the envoy of the Dayue Dynasty has just paid a visit to Zhang Shangshu, saying that the team escorting Princess Tianxiang to my Great Xia has set off."
"At the same time, the other party raised questions, I want to know what price Da Yue needs to pay, and I am willing to send troops to help."
Xia Ao raised his Beidou eyebrows and chuckled, "So, they still refuse to tell the matter of the Yuanshi vein?" β
"Yes."
"Oh, that's naΓ―ve. Let Zhang Yi tell them that offering Li Hanxiang can only calm my anger, and if Li Hanxiang does not come, my anger will not be calmed for a day, and I have no intention of talking about forming an alliance to help. Let them wait. β
"Yes!"
When Yuan Tiangang left, Shangguan Wan'er frowned and asked, "Your Majesty, do you really want to help Dayue?" β
Xia Ao smiled inexplicably, and asked instead of answering, "What do you mean?" β
Shangguan Wan'er pursed her red lips and said softly: "Your Majesty, the Dayue Dynasty is now half-dead, it is better to take it than to rescue it." β
"The concubine suggested that in the name of helping, send troops and take advantage of the situation to annex Dayue!"
Xia Ao glanced at Shangguan Wan'er appreciatively and bowed slightly.
"What you say is exactly what I want."
"Da Yue has no faith in the first place, and then he has fallen to this point, if he doesn't take the opportunity to annex it, wouldn't he have wasted this great opportunity?"
At this point, Xia Ao changed the topic again.
"However, it is not enough to have a big crossing. In this battle, a full-scale collision with Daikin is inevitable, and since it can't be avoided, it should strike first! β
Shangguan Wan'er and Zhao Gao were all stunned, and the former said in surprise: "Your Majesty, what do you mean, you still want to win Dajin?" β
"However, with my current strength in Great Xia, if I want to do this, I'm afraid it's impossible......"
Xia Ao shook his head, his eyes deep.
"I'm not worried about the troops, I'm worried about the governance after the battle. Winning the two dynasties at the same time, with the current background of my Great Xia, it is difficult to ensure stability. β
"Besides, if you are so aggressive, it is easy to attract siege from other dynasties."
Therefore, the main goal of the war against Daikin is to strangle its living forces. Specifically, it needs to be decided according to the changes in the battle situation. β
Shangguan Wan'er's eyes flashed slightly, thoughtful.
Listening to His Majesty's meaning, it is very likely that there are other elite armies hidden in Great Xia.
It seems that the secret exchange of resources and manpower that she had noticed before was more likely related to this.
"Yes, the concubine understands."
"Well, tell the two prime ministers that the process of the big blood exchange needs to be accelerated. In addition, it is also necessary to select a group of available virtuous ministers to prepare for the annexation of Dayue in the future. β
The "atonement plan" within Great Xia not only brought Xia Ao a very considerable amount of hegemony, but also amassed a lot of wealth, so that the treasury that was about to bottom out was quickly filled.
Originally, Xia Ao wanted to boil the frog in warm water and squeeze out all the oil and water that should be squeezed step by step, but now that the situation has changed, this matter must be ended early.
"Yes!"
"Zhao Gao, what has the general's move on the side recently?"
"Back to Your Majesty, since the general returned to meet you, he has been staying in the general's mansion and living in seclusion, rarely walking around the outside world, and rarely meeting officials who come to visit."
"In addition, the general also gave orders to those close to him, strictly ordering them to restrain their own family members and not to be overbearing and reckless."
"However, there are too many people related to the general's department, and some of them take the general's orders as a deaf ear, and there have been many traitors and lawlessness recently."
Hearing Zhao Gao's answer, Shangguan Wan'er sneered and said: "They think that the general line has now become the largest force in my Great Xia, and they think that they think that if they are wearing the skin of a general, the court will not dare to touch them!" β
Xia Ao took a sip of tea and said lightly: "Since the atonement plan is about to end, then these people don't need to stay anymore." β
"Order, these daring guys will be severely punished. No matter who it is, no matter what kind of relationship it has with the general, whoever can cut off his head will be beheaded, and whoever can copy his home will be copied from his home. β
"Let the world know whose world it is!"
"Yes!"
Zhao Gao's eyes lit up slightly, and he bowed down to receive the order.
Xia Ao slowly closed his eyes and pretended to sleep, and his attention was on his own cultivation and the system panel.
In the past two months, he has spent most of his time in the Wingtech Palace, which is equivalent to more than ten years of penance for others under the supply of sufficient resources.
As a result, his cultivation was raised by seven levels, from the eighty-three levels of the Void Body Realm to the ninety-level Void Body Realm.
At this time, with his strength, any True Body Realm master was not enough to see, and he could even wrestle with a strong person in the Spirit Body Realm.
He also wanted to know where the limit would be if he had been polishing in the Void Body Realm without breaking through.
In the history of Tiannan, the strongest person who had accumulated in the Void Body Realm was the ninety-nine powerhouses of the Void Body Realm that were recorded in history and widely circulated.
I don't know if this limit is ninety-nine or one hundred folds of perfection?
Or, higher? And even without limits?
The answer to this puzzle may only be revealed by him.
Without thinking about it for the time being, Xia Ao's attention was on the domineering value again.
γDing! You sent people to wreak havoc on the Mausoleum of the Dajin Emperor, so that the Dajin Ancestor Jiuquan could not sleep peacefully, and he was willful and reckless, showing off his might, and his domineering value was +15000]
The damage caused by the Moling Captain to the Great Golden Emperor's Mausoleum was extremely serious, far from being comparable to the original destruction of the Great Xia Emperor's Mausoleum.
But this harvest was only 5,000 points more than the last time, which made Xia Ao a little depressed.
However, this depression did not last long, after all, there is a big difference between lifting one's own imperial tomb and lifting other people's imperial tombs, and it cannot be generalized.
Moreover, 15,000 points, which is already extremely impressive.
γDing! You don't need to spend a single soldier, coerce the Dayue Dynasty to offer the most beautiful Princess Tianxiang as a gift of reparation, domineering and strong, domineering value +3000]
[Current Overlord Value: 19100]
The above two harvests plus the income from "spending money to atone for sins" during this period of time have such a rich overbearing value.
Keeping it for the time being, Xia Ao opened his eyes, got up and grabbed Shangguan Wan'er's waist and returned to the middle level, and continued to play with the concubines.
