Han Dynasty, Xuchang.

In the palace of King Wei, Cao Cao looked sad, paced back and forth in the courtyard, and from time to time turned his head to look at Xun Yu and the others who were waiting next to him, and asked, "How?" Any news? ”

Everyone looked at each other, all a little helpless.

We've been standing here all the time, is there any news you don't know?

But when the lord asked, they really couldn't respond, so they could only lean over and reply: "Lord Qiqi, not yet." ”

Cao Cao's brows furrowed, and after a while, he began to pace and wander again.

Everyone: "......"

Pedal Pedal –

Suddenly, there was a rush of footsteps.

Everyone was shocked, and they hurriedly looked back, only to see a spy walking in quickly, with an anxious look on his face:

"Enlighten the lord!"

"Lord, it's not good, the Ming West Expeditionary Army has broken through the border, our army is powerless to defend, has given up the border pass, retreated to the pass to wait, please send reinforcements as soon as possible, otherwise, my Han is in danger!"

The crowd suddenly changed color.

"Damn, how can it be so fast?!"

Cao Cao was even more furious: "Yesterday, the Ming army was still outside the pass, and today it broke through the pass, didn't the border army resist it?!" ”

The spy said sadly: "My lord, there are only 100,000 soldiers and horses stationed at the eastern border pass, and the Western Expeditionary Army of the Ming Dynasty is menacing, and the strength of the army is only more than 500,000!" ”

Cao Cao's face was ugly, but he didn't say anything more to blame.

He naturally understands what the concept of 100,000 border troops is in the face of 500,000 Ming Western Expeditionary Army.

What's more, there are hundreds of thousands of Jianghu coalition troops in the Ming army, adding up to nearly one million.

With such terrifying strength, whoever goes to guard it will have the same result.

It's just that the border was announced to be broken so quickly, which still made it a little difficult for him to accept.

After a moment of silence, Cao Cao gritted his teeth and said, "Pass my order, immediately send someone to Longhu Mountain, and ask Mr. Lu Xun to come to help!" ”

He knew very well that judging from the situation at this moment, it was absolutely impossible for him to hold it with his own forces alone.

The only chance is to ask the martial artists of the Heavenly Master Dao to take action, and at least to solve the Jianghu coalition army in the Western Expeditionary Army of the Ming Dynasty.

Otherwise, they don't have any chance of winning this battle!

"Yes, my lord!"

One person gave up his hand solemnly, and immediately wanted to send someone to Longhu Mountain to inquire about the news.

But at this moment, a sound of breaking the sky came from the sky.

The next moment, I saw a gray-robed Taoist descending from the sky and landing in the courtyard.

Cao Cao was slightly stunned, and then he was overjoyed: "Mr. Lu Xun, it's so good that you're here, I'm just about to send someone to find you!" ”

Lu Xun was also slightly stunned, and said, "What are you looking for me for?" ”

Cao Cao hurriedly said: "Mr. Lu Xun, the Ming Western Expeditionary Army has invaded the territory of my Han Dynasty, and it will arrive in Xuchang in a few days, I want to send troops to block it, but if there is no help from Mr. Lu Xun, I am really not sure, and I ask Mr. to help me resist the Ming army." ”

Lu Xun fell silent.

Immediately, he sighed, shook his head and said: "King Wei, the unification of Shenzhou is the mandate of heaven and cannot be resisted, and the master has also ordered me to lead my disciples back to Longhu Mountain, and no longer pay attention to worldly things." ”

As he spoke, there was a hint of apology in his eyes, and he said, "I'm sorry, Poor Dao can't help you." ”

"What...... What?! Cao Cao froze.

Lu Xun said helplessly: "The major dynasties of Shenzhou have collapsed one after another, the Ming Dynasty is menacing this time, and it is imperative to unify Shenzhou, just with the troops in your hands, even if you add my Heavenly Master Dao, it is impossible to stop it." ”

Cao Cao came back to his senses, a trace of unwillingness appeared in his eyes, and he said angrily: "I don't believe it!" ”

"What a bullshit destiny, Lone never believes in destiny!"

As he spoke, he hurriedly grabbed Lu Xun's hand as if grasping a life-saving straw, and said, "Mr. must have a way, right?" Mr! Since I can't stop the offensive of the Ming Dynasty with the strength in my hands, then gather the strength of the entire world! ”

"Lone is ready to form an alliance with Liu Bei and Sun Quan, but the distance between the two places is far, I'm afraid it's too late, please Mr. go to Shuzhong and Jiangdong for me, please Liu Bei and Sun Quan send troops to help me, we will definitely be able to defend!"

Facing Cao Cao's expectant gaze, Lu Xun was a little unbearable for a while, but thinking of his master's explanation, he still relented, shook his head and sighed: "I'm sorry, lord, you can't go against your mission." ”

"Moreover, this time, there is really no chance of victory, the strength of the Ming Dynasty is far from being comparable to that of Liu Bei and Sun Quan, and there is also a Great Sui coalition army in the south at the moment, even if Liu Bei agrees to form an alliance, he will not be able to send people to help at all."

"Lord Wang, let's give up here."

Saying that, Lu Xun paused and continued: "For the sake of acquaintance, Poor Dao will try his best to ask for a favor from King Nawu for the prince. ”

"Didn't King Wu say that after Shenzhou is unified, the world will be divided and governed by eight vassal kings?"

"If the prince takes the initiative to surrender, coupled with the poor Dao's request, I believe that King Wu should consider giving the prince the position of a vassal king."

"This ......"

As soon as these words came out, Cao Cao's originally angry and unwilling expression was paused, and then his eyes lit up, and he said, "Sir, what he said, is it true?" ”

"Uh......" Seeing Cao Cao's face change so quickly, Lu Xun couldn't help but be stunned.

But then, he also nodded and said: "As long as the King of Wei agrees to take the initiative to surrender before the Ming Western Expeditionary Army arrives in Xuchang, Poor Dao will do what he says, but it really can't be done, Poor Dao will ask Shizun to come forward, and the face of Poor Dao Shizun, King Wu will still give it." ”

Cao Cao suddenly fell into deep thought.

Half a month later.

Four hundred miles east of Xuchang.

The flag is unfurled, and the anger is soaring.

An army of nearly a million dispersed and moved quickly in the direction of Xuchang with an unstoppable might.

This army is naturally the 500,000 Western Expeditionary Army led by Sun Chengzong and the Jianghu Coalition Army of nearly 300,000 people.

In front of the army, led by Sun Chengzong and Sun Chuanting, surrounded by densely guarded masters of the rivers and lakes.

Even top celestials such as Jian Yue and Dongfang Undefeated are among them.

This time, the army joined forces with the rivers and lakes, plus more than a dozen powerhouses of the Heavenly and Human Realms, attacking these ordinary cities was tantamount to a dimensionality reduction attack.

In just half a month, the army broke through dozens of cities and penetrated deep into the territory of the Han Dynasty.

Now, you only need to cross the last pass to enter the central region of the Han Dynasty and arrive at Xuchang City.

However, as soon as the army arrived at the gate, they saw that the gate was wide open, and an army wearing Han armor was already waiting in front of the pass.

Sun Chengzong frowned slightly, and was about to let people step forward to take a look.

But at this moment, a man wearing a black python robe with an extraordinary bearing suddenly walked out of the army, and said loudly: "Cao Cao, the king of Wei in the Han Dynasty, dare to ask if the person who came is General Sun of the Ming Dynasty?" ”

Cao Cao?

Sun Chengzong's face showed a hint of surprise, wasn't this the goal of his trip?

He doesn't stay in Xuchang, what is he doing here?

Sun Chengzong was puzzled in his heart, but he did not hesitate, and stepped forward and said: "It is Ben Shuai, I don't know what the King of Wei is here, why do you have to fight with Ben Shuai in person?" ”

Cao Cao hurriedly said: "Marshal Sun misunderstood, I came here to represent the Son of Heaven of the Han Dynasty and welcome the entry of the Ming Army." ”

"I, the Han Dynasty, am willing to surrender unconditionally, and I also ask Marshal Sun to accept it."

"Huh?" As soon as these words came out, Sun Chengzong was stunned.

Surrender?

What is this Cao Cao's idea?

Sun Chengzong thought at first that Cao Cao was playing some conspiracy, but after entering the customs with Cao Cao, through some conversation, Sun Chengzong knew that Cao Cao had indeed surrendered sincerely.

Although some of the conditions proposed, he couldn't make up his mind.

However, Sun Chengzong decided to give Yuhuatian a headache in this matter.

And for Cao Cao's surrender, it was undoubtedly a good thing, so he directly chose to accept it.

So, within a few days, the news of Cao Cao's surrender spread.

Suddenly, the entire Han Dynasty shook.

For this matter, Yuhuatian did not pay too much attention.

As early as half a month ago, he rushed to Shu and met the rumored Han clan relative Liu Bei Liu Xuande, and also met many famous figures in Shu Han, such as Wenhou Lu Bu, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Lu Bu and others, which can be regarded as a wish fulfillment.

Then, after some 'friendly' 'exchanges', the two celestial beings of Shu Han, Li Yan and Tong Yuan, chose to bow their heads and led Yuhuatian to the valley where their master was retreating.

And Yuhuatian finally met these three legendary 'immortals'-

Three immortals at the end of the Han Dynasty!

It's just that to Yu Huatian's surprise, these three old immortals didn't seem to be surprised by his arrival.

The moment he saw him, Nanhua Lao Xian even got up with a smile to greet him, and said with a smile: "Xiaoyou, you are finally here." ”

In a valley like a paradise.

Looking at the three crane bone fairies in front of him, like a real immortal-like old man, he couldn't help but be a little stunned.

"Senpai knows I'm coming?" Yu Huatian looked at the old Nanhua immortal in a yellow robe and asked.

How does he feel that these so-called seniors seem to know him?

"Of course."

Nanhua Old Immortal said with a smile: "Over the years, you have made a lot of noise in Shenzhou, even if we have long since retired to the mountains and forests, we can occasionally go to the world, and we can hear your name." ”

"What's more, you're still laughing at the person chosen by your predecessors, even if I don't want to pay attention to you."

"Laughing at the seniors?" Yu Huatian's expression moved slightly: "What the seniors said, are you laughing at the seniors?" ”

Nanhua Lao Xian smiled and nodded: "Laughing at the predecessors, Bo Gu is familiar with the present, and he cares about the world, he is a real senior master." ”

"I see!"

Yuhuatian suddenly relaxed, and then relaxed a lot.

Nanhua Lao Xian said well, smiling three times, he is indeed a philanthropic person with the world in his heart, and he has been running around all his life to prevent the catastrophe of the thousand autumns.

Since these three know Xiao Sanxiao, they will not be treacherous people in the future.

"The reason for your coming has already been known."

Nanhua Old Immortal glanced at Li Yan and Tong Yuan, who were also surprised next to him, then looked at Yuhuatian, and continued to smile and said: "If you want to dominate the world of Shenzhou, I won't interfere, and in the future, Li Yan and Tong Yuan will also stay here to practice, and they won't go out of the mountain again, what do you want to do, you can do it with confidence, don't worry about us." ”

Yuhuatian was slightly stunned.

This Nanhua old immortal is so easy to talk to?

Moreover, before he explained his intentions, people already knew.

This made him a little embarrassed, so he could only give up his hand in embarrassment: "That is the case, then thank you seniors." ”

Nanhua Old Immortal shook his head and smiled, and said: "It's okay, the fate of the people in this world is all in your hands, and your burden is much heavier than everyone else, although the three of us can't do anything for you at the moment, we can still do it without causing you trouble." ”

Yu Huatian's eyes froze, and he said, "What do you mean by what the predecessor said?" ”

Nanhua Old Immortal smiled and said, "You already know, don't you?" Kunlun Seal, there are still about ten years to go, your time is very tight, you have to work harder. ”

Sure enough, this is it!

Yu Huatian took a deep breath and arched his hand: "Please rest assured, even if it is for yourself, the juniors will do their best." ”

"Then I'll be relieved."

Nanhua Old Immortal nodded with a smile.

Yu Huatian was puzzled: "There is still something unknown to the juniors, how do the seniors think that the juniors can shoulder this heavy responsibility?" ”

At this time, Zuo Ci, who had never spoken, spoke, he looked at Zhang Ruofeng and said lightly: "I have heard the proverbs of the first emperor. ”

Nanhua Old Immortal also nodded with a smile and said: "Strictly speaking, we have all received the favor of Great Qin, and it was because of the inheritance left by the Great Qin monks before they went to Kunlun to participate in the war that we were able to cultivate to this level today, so we also obeyed the last wish of that senior, and were willing to do our part to protect this heaven and earth, so we stayed in Shenzhou for many years." ”

As he spoke, he smiled slightly and said, "Poor Dao said that, did he dispel your doubts?" ”

Yu Huatian nodded embarrassedly: "It's the juniors who spend the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain." ”

At first, he really thought that the three of them would have any intentions against him, or why they would be so kind to him.

Now it seems that he is indeed thinking too much.

If it weren't for the proverb left by the First Emperor, I'm afraid that people wouldn't pay attention to him.

"It doesn't matter."

Nanhua Old Immortal shook his head and said, "Be cautious, it's not a good thing." ”

Yu Huatian nodded and said, "Thank you seniors for your understanding, the juniors will leave first, and when the other things of the Han are solved, the juniors will come to bother you." ”

"Go ahead."

Nanhua Lao Xian smiled: "Here in Shu Kingdom, you don't need to have any worries, Li Yan and Tong Yuan leave, you only need to persuade Liu Bei, you can easily recover this place, you don't have to kill too much, after all, they are all my Yan and Huang people." ”

"As for the Jiangdong side, this place is not simple, if you go here, you need to be careful."

Yuhuatian was stunned: "The predecessor is talking about Yin Zhong?" ”

Yu Ji suddenly spoke: "Yin Zhong is nothing, what is really terrifying is the mysterious Tong Clan and the Long Clan. ”

The Tong clan and the Long clan?

Yu Huatian's eyes moved slightly, he knew the plot of "Water Moon Cave Sky", and naturally knew the relationship between the two clans.

Legend has it that the Tong clan has existed since ancient times, and the entire clan is an immortal who practices qi arts, but was later betrayed by the clansman Tong Yin Zhong and was almost wiped out.

At the critical moment, the general at that time, Long Teng, stepped forward, saved the Tong clan, and sent the Tong clan to the Water Moon Cave for refuge.

According to the plot of the original book, this Tong clan is not very powerful, but the ancestors of the Long clan, Dragon God and Long Teng, should be extremely strong characters.

But in this world of comprehensive martial arts, the Tong clan actually made the three immortals of the late Han Dynasty so solemn, and it seems that it should not be as simple as it seems.

Yu Huatian arched his hand and said, "Can the seniors tell the juniors about the Long clan and the Tong clan?" (End of chapter)
