Yeyue Empire, on the Jinluan Palace, Li Tianyou looked at the ministers standing below and said slowly: "Zhongqing, the Linghua army has destroyed my eagle and raised the guard, and now it has forcibly occupied most of the sect alliance, this is the most serious contempt for the empire, I want to give a severe punishment, I don't know what you think?" ”

The ministers were a little stunned when they heard this, in their imagination, Li Tianyou was sure that he would be angry, but he shouldn't impulsively send troops to fight Ling Huazong at this time, after all, the current empire can't take out more troops to deal with Ling Huazong.

There was silence in the hall, but it didn't take long for an official of not a high rank to come out and play: "Your Majesty is wise, and the imperial power of heaven must not be violated, so the minister thinks that His Majesty can order the Beitang family and Shangyuan Sect to mobilize 600,000 troops, and the imperial court will send another 200,000 troops to form a coalition army to jointly attack Hongshi Pass, and then order Generalissimo Li Xianzong to cooperate with Rongguo and Chengguo to respond from the side, presumably Ling Huazong will not be able to resist at all, and will soon be defeated and surrendered!" ”

Li Tianyou glanced at this official and found that he didn't even have any impression of him at all, which showed that this was an insignificant guy at all, and now jumping out was just grandstanding, and the suggestion he put forward seemed reasonable, but in fact it was an empty word.

For this person, Li Tianyou snorted coldly in his heart, but he didn't have any reaction on the surface, just nodded lightly, and at this moment, the squire of the military department immediately stood up and said: "Your Majesty, this plan is absolutely not feasible!" ”

When the official heard this, his face immediately turned red, and he was furious, if it wasn't for the wrong occasion here, he was afraid that he would immediately jump out and quarrel with that person, ignoring his anger, the squire of the military department continued to speak: "Your Majesty, at present, our country is empty, the strongest Long Wuwei and Feng Yiwei and the army of the Ximen family are all fighting against the three major countries in the Western Regions, and now the war situation is stalemate, and it is impossible to transfer at all, Hu Benwei is completely contained in the war of the seven major tribes in the north, and Leopard Taowei is contained by the eastern powers, Even the allied forces with the Beitang family and the Shangyuan Sect have already fallen in, while the army of the Shiweiwei and the Nanguo family is in the south, and now the only troops that the imperial court can call on are the city defense armies in various places. ”

As soon as these words came out, Li Tianyou's face sank a lot, and at this time, the previous official jumped out and said: "Your Majesty, the strength of my empire's city defense army is definitely not weaker than the strength of the regular army of those small sects and small countries, in fact, only 10,000 people need to be transferred from the city defense army of each city to quickly form a million army, so, how can Ling Huazong be reasonable!" ”

Before Li Tianyou could say anything, the military department Shangshu stood up and reprimanded: "Nonsense, the city defense army is the foundation of stabilizing a city, and the number of each city defense army is stationed after strict calculation, not to mention, there are still many former forces in the country who are secretly watching, once our city defense force declines, they will inevitably jump out and create huge trouble for the imperial court, Your Majesty, the old minister thinks that the city defense army must not be moved!" ”

Li Tianyou didn't say anything, but in his heart he was very satisfied with his humerus ministers, and in the face of major rights and wrongs, they were still very sober and did not blindly follow their preferences.

After a while, seeing that no one spoke, Li Tianyou spoke: "Zhongqing, don't you have any good suggestions, can you just watch that Ling Huazong get carried away so proudly, so, where is the majesty of the empire!" ”

When everyone heard this, they exchanged their heads again, but no one spoke, and just when Li Tianyou was a little impatient, Lu Xiong stood up and said, "Your Majesty, the empire is really not suitable to use troops against Ling Huazong now!" ”

As soon as these words came out, almost all the ministers let out a sigh of surprise, and some of them showed gloating expressions, and Li Tianyou's heart also chuckled, but on the surface, he still said lightly: "What do you mean by this!" ”

Lu Xiong said: "Your Majesty, please think about it, Ling Huazong no matter what he wants, but on the surface, he has come up with ironclad evidence to prove that they are completely defending themselves, and General Ying Yangwei is ambitious and wants to forcibly eat people, but he was defeated, and on the way back, he was intercepted and killed by the thieves of Tianxuanling, which led to the annihilation of the whole army, so, in the final analysis, this matter is the fault of General Ying Yangwei, if the imperial court wants to use this to do something to Ling Huazong, it will not only cause a strong backlash from Ling Huazong, Moreover, it will put everyone in danger in those small and medium-sized countries that have already taken refuge in us, and maybe they will secretly create a lot of trouble for us, or even simply switch to other big countries, which is extremely detrimental to the empire and to the great cause of Your Majesty! ”

"Furthermore, the Zong Alliance was established on the basis of the previous Yu Kingdom, among the three wives of Linghua Sect Fang Lin, Yu Jiaxiang is the ninth princess of the Yu Kingdom's royal family, and they can also rely on this bloodline relationship, but they can recover the entire territory of the Yu Kingdom with great fanfare, but others can't say anything."

After listening to Lu Xiong's analysis, Li Tianyou nodded secretly, which coincided with his thoughts, but he still said expressionlessly: "Could it be that Ling Huazong did such a thing and caused such a huge loss to the empire, so he didn't give them any punishment?" ”

"Of course not!" Lu Xiong immediately said loudly: "It's just that you can't use this excuse, but Ling Huazong still has a hundred secrets, that is, Tianxuanling, Your Majesty once ordered Linghuazong to destroy Tianxuanling, but now, Tianxuanling exists well, so this is the reason to teach them a lesson!" ”

The prime minister on the side understood his words, and immediately stood up and said: "But Lord Lu, with the current situation of the empire, we can say that we are not able to impose any substantive punishment on Ling Huazong in a short period of time, after all, we can send troops, hey, if Marshal Li Xiaofeng and Imperial Captain are still there..."

"Hehe, there is no need for the empire to send troops, and the so-called punishment does not necessarily have to beat people to death, but there is another way." Lu Xiong smiled.

This time it aroused Li Tianyou's interest, he sat up slightly and said, "What's the way, come quickly." ”

Lu Xiong said: "Feng Dao's behavior in the Huanhua Wetland has made all our arrangements there worry-free, and now if you want to make any more moves, it is already impossible, since it has become the world of Tianxuanling and Linghuazong, then Your Majesty might as well push the boat down the river, and give it to Linghuazong, so that they can destroy Tianxuanling within a year, and escort the bandit leader to Beijing to be disposed of by Your Majesty; Second, His Majesty issued a decree to recognize Yu Jiaxiang's status, so that Yu Guo naturally became a vassal state of the empire, and there were three advantages to doing so. ”

Speaking of this, Lu Xiong paused, glanced at Li Tianyou and continued: "First, it was no longer under our control, however, in this way, we could easily get the annual tribute of the Yu Kingdom, after all, it was related to the Ling Hua Sect, and they couldn't rely on it; Second, Marshal Li Xiaofeng died mysteriously in Nanyue, although there is no evidence that there is any connection with Nanyue, but Weichen always thinks that Nanyue has wolf ambitions, and now it is also against the imperial court, if there is Yu Guo watching them behind their backs, then they dare not make any changes; Third, and this is also the most important point, now Ling Huazong is fighting with Qin in the Western Regions of Yu Kingdom, and according to intelligence, the battle situation is very tragic. ”

Speaking of this, he actually stopped, which made everyone frown, and Wu Tong spoke: "Lord Lu, just say it quickly." ”

Seeing that even Li Tianyou's eyes flashed with a look of hope, Lu Xiong smiled with satisfaction and continued: "The reason why the Qin State is able to compete with Ling Huazong so much is that they have received assistance from the Dugu clan, and according to intelligence, the strength of this assistance is quite large, and the scale of the troops on both sides has reached more than one million!" Ladies and gentlemen, what does this mean? ”

Everyone was a little stunned by Lu Xiong's sudden question, and a great general said: "This means a super-large-scale battle, both sides are likely to suffer heavy casualties, although the Linghua army is very strong, but in a battle of this scale, the loss must be at least more than 300,000!" ”

Hubu Shangshu spoke: "I thought this meant that it was very likely that the Linghua Army would be firmly sucked into the Western Regions of the Yu Kingdom, and there would be no time to pay attention to the affairs of Tianxuanling, and when the time came, if they could not complete His Majesty's task, we would be able to clean them up in a dignified manner!" ”

Next, several high-ranking officials said different ideas, but Lu Xiong shook his head and said with a smile: "Everyone only focuses on Ling Huazong's body, but forgets the powerful force of the Dugu tribe, you know, in our intelligence, his strength is much better than that of the Bur Qi tribe, and it is very likely that he will not lose to any of the three major countries in the Western Regions!" ”

Hearing this, Wu Tong was the first to react and said in surprise: "Are you saying that the Dugu tribe is not willing to be lonely and wants to take advantage of the situation!?" ”

"Otherwise, just with the face of a queen of Qin, how can it be worth such a big capital from them, you know, Yu Guo, a big grain-producing country, is coveted by more than one country, and now if the Dugu tribe wants to expand, the surrounding small countries have no power to resist at all." Lu Xiong said.

At this time, Li Tianyou slapped heavily on the imperial case in front of him, his eyes flashed with palpitations, and he shouted angrily: "What a Dugu tribe, actually playing this hand for me, it's really hateful!" ”

Seeing this, all the ministers were a little silent, and Lu Xiong didn't dare to sell Guan Zi, so he immediately said: "Your Majesty is angry, the third advantage that the minister said is that Ling Hua Sect can help us block the Dugu tribe and buy us enough time, as long as we can free up our hands, whether he Ling Hua Sect or the Dugu tribe, there is nothing to be afraid of!" ”

When Li Tianyou heard this, he instantly calmed down, looking at Lu Xiong's eyes with undisguised appreciation, Lu Xiong spoke again: "Your Majesty can issue an order, first reprimand Ling Huazong for his ineffective work, and then reprimand them for destroying His Majesty's arrangement in the Huanhua Wetland and the loss of Ying Yangwei, and then give them the order to destroy Tianxuanling and completely recover the rest of the country at all costs, and as a punishment, the empire will not provide them with any funding, and they will solve it themselves!" ”

When Li Tianyou heard this, his eyes brightened even more, this can be described as killing two birds with one stone, which not only saved his country's expenses, but also greatly increased the consumption of Ling Hua Sect, you must know that the current Yu Guo is a mess at all, only unable to enter and exit, so it has greatly slowed down the pace of Ling Hua Sect's development, and he couldn't help but appreciate Lu Xiong's eyes even more.

At this time, Wu Tong spoke: "Your Majesty, Lord Lu is indeed a good man, but there is still one thing missing, that is, the person who goes to deliver the decree cannot be an ordinary servant, but must be a strong man who can control the scene, and it is best to be the kind that can suppress the entire Ling Hua Sect so that they dare not resist, so that Ling Hua Sect can obediently obey." ”

Li Tianyou nodded and showed a smile, and said, "Very good, I already have a candidate, I guarantee that Ling Huazong is obedient!" ”

••••••

Han Cheng, Dongfang Yingqin didn't talk nonsense after shouting to no avail, and directly ordered the siege of the city, this Hancheng is just a medium-sized city, and its protective array is only the peak of the seventh level, under the strong attack of Tianxuanling, it was only broken in four hours, and then, Dongfang Yingqin used Fang Lin's method, and didn't pay attention to the rules of soldiers against generals at all, and directly crushed more than a dozen powerhouses in the life and death realm, and Sikong Tian quickly killed the opponent's three strong men in the life and death realm. This was followed by a one-sided massacre, and the Qin army, which underestimated the enemy, suffered a big loss in this battle, and in the end only a third of them escaped, if it weren't for the insufficient number of troops in Tianxuanling, I am afraid that these Qin troops would be wiped out.

In the City Lord's Mansion, Qiu Jinlong looked at Dongfang Ying Qin with an extremely reverent gaze and said, "Grand Governor, the last general is considered to be served, how do you know that the Qin army underestimates us?" ”

Dongfang Yingqin smiled slightly and said: "It's very simple, calculate, there has been news from the sect master's side before, the Qin army over there has a total of nine life and death realm powerhouses, two of them have returned to the void, think about it, just rely on how many life and death realm powerhouses can the Qin country, two or three?" The next thing is all to rely on the support of the Dugu tribe, but although the Dugu tribe is strong, it is not strong enough to the level of the Yeyue Empire, so how many life and death realm powerhouses can support him, so it is absolutely impossible for the life and death realm powerhouses on our side to exceed five, and we have more than ten, in this way, do we still need to tell them what battlefield rules, just crush them strongly! ”

Qiu Jinlong suddenly realized when he heard this, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, he didn't think of such a simple thing, so he shook his head and continued: "Now that the remaining Qin troops have run back to the state capital, the Qin army there will definitely not despise us anymore, what should we do next?" ”

Dongfang Yingqin smiled: "Do you want to ask whether we should directly attack the state capital by surprise or stand still for the time being." ”

Qiu Jinlong couldn't help but smile embarrassedly when he heard this, but Dongfang Yingqin took a sip of tea and said: "The state capital is the top priority of the Qin army, there must be masters guarding there, and there should be a lot of them, after all, in the Dugu tribe, there are four old guys on the ranks, so we can't act recklessly!" ”

When all the generals heard this, they all felt a pang in their hearts, but they didn't expect the strength of this Dugu tribe to be so strong, and a relatively young general spoke: "Then the general manager means that we will not move our troops, and we will temporarily rest in Hancheng, waiting for news from the sect master and their side?" ”

Dongfang Yingqin shook his head, pressed his finger on a dot on the huge map on the wall behind him and said: "Let's go straight to the back of Hancheng as quickly as possible, and capture Jincheng first, so that we can echo with the sect master and them from afar, and advance and retreat from the heart, and in the same way, we will also form an encirclement of the Qin army in Hancheng, if they are defeated, we will also become their obstacles!" ”

When all the generals heard this, their eyes lit up, and they praised "The chief manager is clever!" ”

On the other side, the Ling Hua army and the Qin army fought together, and the Qin army initially wanted to use the advantage of the city wall to inflict some damage on the Ling Hua army, but they didn't expect that under the strong attack of the Cloud Piercing Crossbow, the city wall did not play any role at all.

As soon as the two armies fought, the Qin army was at a disadvantage, without it, the overall cultivation of the soldiers was not as good as the people, the equipment was not as good as the people, the battle formation was not as good as the people, and even the charms on the body were not as good as the people, and soon, the formation of the Qin army was compressed and compressed, and the speed of casualties was getting faster and faster, which made the general who defended the city anxious but helpless.

In the sky, Li Haoran followed Fang Lin's line of sight and saw the Qin Army's Reincarnation Realm general, and couldn't help grinning: "Fang Lin, do you want to cross the border and kill people?" ”

Hearing this, everyone showed a smile on their faces, not only did they retreat, but they were full of fighting spirit, Ayinata grinned and said: "Let's go up, the guys in the Nai He Realm are really too weak for us now, and we haven't crossed the border to kill people before!" ”

Qu Shan'er also immediately chimed in: "That's it, my long whip can't wait." ”

Shuang didn't speak, but there was a raging flame burning in those eyes, looking at everyone's expressions, Fang Lin smiled, waved his hand and shouted, "Let's go!" ”

Whoosh, ten people rushed into the battlefield in an instant, Fang Lin staff waved, a head-sized fireball smashed into the back of the Qin army general, the Qin army general was fighting with an elder of the Ling Hua Sect, suddenly felt the crisis coming from the back, couldn't help but sweat hair stood on end, and couldn't help but make a move without saying a word, forcing the Ling Hua Sect elder to retreat, and then the body spun in an instant, and the bearer's sharp sword slashed back.

With a bang, the fireball shattered, the sword dissipated, but the body of the general of the Qin army stiffened violently, obviously, the power of this fireball exceeded his expectations, and at this moment, the elder of Ling Huazong had already come to his back, and the long sword carried terrifying power like a poisonous snake to pierce his back heart, and at the same time, Wen Yue'er shouted: "Flying Rock Technique!" ”

A huge energy rock appeared above General Qin's head and smashed down towards his Heavenly Spirit Gai, and in front of him, an arrow wrapped in three colors mixed with this terrifying energy shot straight into his heart!

In the face of this killer blow, the heart of the general of the Qin army sank to the bottom, but he did not give up, and with a loud shout, a shield appeared in front of the long sword, which was actually his magic weapon, when there was a metal symphony, the elder's attack was blocked, and at the same time, an earthy yellow ring was emitted from the shield, which shook the elder back, but the general of the Qin army himself also spit out a mouthful of blood.

At the same time, the knife in his hand slashed directly upward, facing the boulder, and there was a loud bang, and the earthy yellow aura fluorescence in the sky drifted away, and the muffled snort of the general of the Qin army also came out, which was obviously uncomfortable, and at the same time, another sound of metal resonance came, and it turned out to be the shield that had blocked the elder's long sword strangely appeared in front of it, blocking the arrows of the concubine, but the shield was trembling slightly, it seemed that the true yuan consumption of the general of the Qin army was quite large.

However, Concubine Su would not give him a chance to breathe, and gently spit out a word "explosion" from her mouth!

Boom~~ The arrow exploded like a cannonball, turning the Qin army's general into a big fire ball, poof, a sound of vomiting blood came out, the flames dissipated, and everyone saw that the Qin army's general looked a lot weaker, with thick blood stains hanging on the corners of his mouth, and even the armor of the protective body was broken.

However, the next moment, his eyes widened, and a huge shield slammed straight at him like a rapidly collapsing wall, and on the other side, two knives slashed at his head.

I didn't have time to think, I clenched my fist and blasted towards the shield, and the knife in the other hand danced rapidly, desperately blocking the threat of the two knives, with a muffled sound, the fist slammed into the shield, and a circle of energy ripples came out from the contact point between the two, and it was so deadlocked, the clanging collision sound continued to sound, and the three knives staggered in the air, bringing up strings of sparks.

"Unload the force Gu!" In the middle of the stalemate, Ayinata screamed, and General Qin Jun felt as if his strength had been unloaded all of a sudden, and at the same time, the frost was a fierce force, and the shield instantly broke through his fist and hit him fiercely, and at the same time, Dongfang Lei's double knives also cut a few deep bloody cuts on his other body.

Hit by the frost, the general of the Qin army suddenly became unstable, but before he could fly upside down, his feet were firmly entangled by a long whip, and he couldn't move for a while, and then, a sword light flashed on his neck, and the general immediately stopped struggling and fell to the dust!

"Elder Li, you go and help Elder Han quickly kill the enemy!" Fang Lin shouted at the Ling Hua Sect elder.

Elder Li didn't say anything when he heard this, and flew directly towards a strong man who had forgotten in the Reincarnation Realm, where there was also an elder of the Ling Hua Sect who was fighting against him, and the two were fighting inseparably.

Then, Fang Lin's ten people attacked another Qin army general who had just gotten a glimpse of the reincarnation realm, this person was slightly stronger than the person in front, but it was not much, and when he found that someone was sneaking up behind, he quickly unfolded his artistic conception, wanting to directly suppress Fang Lin's ten people with his reincarnation artistic conception.

However, the elder of the Linghua Sect opposite him smiled coldly, and also launched the artistic conception of reincarnation, and the two of them were in the confrontation at the artistic conception level in an instant, generally speaking, the battle of martial artists of the same level will not easily enter this kind of artistic conception level of duel, unless you are sure that your artistic conception is much stronger than the opponent, the reason is very simple, in this state, both sides can not move, and the artistic conception battle is also very dangerous, one is not careful, the artistic conception may collapse, and the cultivation will be completely wasted!

At this moment, the general of the Qin army was tragic, he instantly became a target, and was attacked by Fang Lin and others in turn, but it was just a breath of kung fu and he fell, smashed into the earth, and without stopping, he rushed towards another general of the Qin army again••••••

Soon, the damage to the top of the Qin army reached a terrifying level, and every high-ranking Qin army general in the reincarnation realm had to be besieged by at least three Linghua Sect elders or Linghua army generals in the reincarnation realm, while the tooth generals and partial generals in the Nahe Realm were already dead and wounded.

On the ground, the Ling Hua army has already achieved a great advantage, and the Qin army is already in a comprehensive defense, but their defense is relatively strong and can hold out in a short time.

Seeing this, Fang Lin didn't talk nonsense, and directly ordered the people in the Nai He Realm to attack the Qin army on the ground, this time, the Qin army completely lost the power to resist, and under the general's retreat order, it instantly turned into a flock of chickens that scattered and fled, and was ruthlessly slaughtered by the Ling Hua army.

High in the air, Dongfang Minghui and Dugu Tianying turned into two streamers and kept colliding with each other, making a loud rumbling sound, and the hidden energy gave people a feeling of extreme danger.

Fiercely, the two punched each other, retreated at the same time, and after stopping their figures, they didn't step forward again as if they had a heart, but just stared at each other like this, and for a long time, Dugu Tianying opened his mouth in the twilight: "Who are you, there is absolutely no such person as you among the top twenty people." ”

"Hehe, I told you, I'm just a nobody." Dongfang Minghui said with a smile.

"No way! How can a person with your strength be nameless, Linghua Sect is just a sect that has only just risen, there should not be a strong person like you, it seems that our information is wrong. Dugu Tianying squinted his eyes and said.

Dongfang Minghui's eyes narrowed when he heard this, he heard something from Dugu Tianying's words, and said: "It seems that your Dugu tribe's support for the Qin State is far more than just for the face of the Empress of the Qin State. ”

Dugu Tianying's pupils shrank suddenly when he heard this, knowing that he had missed his mouth, a trace of murderous intent appeared in his eyes when he looked at Dongfang Minghui, and he said coldly: "Smart people often die early!" ”

"Hehe, you want to kill me, but can you kill me, I know you still have a killer weapon that is useless, but why do I go all out." The Oriental Bright Clouds are light and breezy.

This attitude made Dugu Tianying hesitate again in an instant, and then listened to Dongfang Minghui again: "Don't think that your ambitions can be concealed, the intelligence system of the Yeyue Empire is not a dry meal, and those ministers above the temple are not waste, so your hiding is meaningless." ”

When Dugu Tianying heard this, he was shocked in his heart, and his heart suddenly became a little flustered, but on the surface, he still said quietly: "Hmph, don't talk nonsense, whether you still fight or not, if you don't fight, go back with your army, this is the territory of the Qin State!" ”

"This is the territory of the Yu Kingdom, it is you who should get out, open your eyes and take a look, the people of the Qin Army Nai He Realm have already died, and the army below is being slaughtered, I am afraid that it will not be long before the entire army will be wiped out, and how many people are left in your reincarnation realm?" How long can it last? Dongfang Minghui joked.

When Dugu Tianying saw it, his face suddenly changed greatly, and he was about to rush down to save people, but he was blocked by Dongfang Minghui, just when he was about to breathe fire, a scream suddenly came from high in the sky, and an old man in black fell down.

As soon as Dugu Tianying saw that person, his eyes were a cold, it was a strong man of their Dugu tribe who knew the slightest in the realm of life and death, and he was actually killed by someone, and the next moment, he saw a scene that made him tremble, the thin old man who had killed his clan just now ran to join forces with a burly man and attacked his other clansman who knew the slightest in the realm of life and death, and the situation of that person was already in danger.

He wanted to rush over to help, but he couldn't break through Dongfang Minghui's block, so he could only roar angrily: "Stop, stop quickly, otherwise Lao Tzu won't let you go!" ”

Bang, there was a muffled sound, and the strong man who was hit by the two of them spat blood from his mouth and fell downward.
