Yin Huixuan nodded and said, "If you want to go, then you can go first." ”

As he spoke, he couldn't help but advise: "If you really want to find out something, don't make a noise." Now that the court is powerful, it will be difficult for us to fight against it when the time comes. Even if it's really their hands, as long as they don't continue to go too far, then this time...... So be it for now.

Iron Sword Gate, even if they were unlucky, bumped into the muzzle of the court's gun.

I only hope that the imperial court will be able to stop this time when it breathes this time. Otherwise, my Six Yang Sect will really have to fight to the death. ”

Speaking of this, Yin Huixuan also secretly regretted it in his heart at this time.

If he had agreed to the invitation of the imperial court, would he not have fallen into such a situation today?

Thinking like this, he finally sighed faintly.

There is no regret medicine in the world after all, and now I can only take one step and see one step.

This great master of the Innate Second Realm, a sense of powerlessness that he had never felt before at this time came to his heart.

"Then the junior brother went to prepare first."

The junior brother saluted, and then left in a hurry.

……

Just when Feng Bo and Yin Huixuan were each worried, Lu Yuan didn't know that the Six Yang Sect, which he was originally troubled by, was actually admitted by the other party first.

Not only did he not dare to come to find trouble for himself, but he also had the mind of a turtle and an ostrich.

An expected trouble, just gone.

If he knew, then Lu Yuan would definitely be happy.

But even if he doesn't know now, he is still very happy at this time.

"Master, according to the statistics of all parties this time, after clearing the vassal strongholds of Tiejianmen and confiscating those industries, we have obtained a total of more than 1.3 million taels of silver, in addition to countless treasures of calligraphy and painting.

Those elders of the Iron Sword Sect, under the pressure, also confessed a lot of family backgrounds. After raiding the house, he also received more than 1.5 million taels of silver. There are also a large number of treasures, calligraphy, paintings, and antiques.

There is also the treasure of the Iron Sword Gate, which has now been found, and has obtained more than 2.2 million taels of gold and silver jewelry from it. In addition, there are various kinds of exercises and collections of the Iron Sword Gate, and more than 1,000 volumes of various sizes have also been harvested.

It's just that the Divine Blood Spirit Pill ordered by Shizun, after the civil strife in the Iron Sword Gate a few years ago, in order to restore their strength, Ding Xihua opened the treasure and was used up thirteen grains.

Now I've only gotten fifty-two pills when I started anew. ”

On the way back to Dongting County, Zhang You, a disciple who was responsible for coordinating the harvests of all parties, reported to Lu Yuan at this time with the list that had been sorted out.

After taking the list and looking through it carefully, after listening to the disciple's report, Lu Yuan couldn't help but nod with satisfaction, and said with a smile: "Not bad, not bad." In this way, counting the harvest of the previous extermination of the Iron Sword Gate, this time the Iron Sword Gate was destroyed, and a total of 6.7 million taels of silver were harvested.

There are also all kinds of antique calligraphy and paintings, jewelry and treasures, and after these are realized, they should also be able to sell for two or three million taels of silver.

In this way, the harvest will be nearly 10 million taels of silver.

With this money, plus the current treasury, it is enough to support an army of 100,000 and fight for four or five years. ”

In Lu Yuan's original treasury, there were more than 2 million taels of silver. Later, Danding Dao funded tens of millions of taels of silver.

After forcing the Five Poisons Sect to surrender, Lan Zhaoyun took the initiative to be interested in it, and contributed the remaining goods that had been looted in Dongting County over the years, more than five million taels.

At this time, plus the harvest of nearly 10 million taels of silver from the destruction of the Iron Sword Gate.

So now Lu Yuan has almost 27 million taels of silver in his account.

It is calculated according to the monthly salary of a soldier of five taels and the annual salary of sixty taels of silver a year. He had a total of 100,000 soldiers, so he needed 6 million taels of silver a year.

27,000,000 taels of silver, enough for an army of 100,000 for four and a half years. Even if the army continues to expand in the future, this silver is enough to use and support it for two or three years.

With such a rich family background, even if he turns against the court in the future and loses his own salary, Lu Yuan can have enough confidence to fight a protracted war with the other party.

I have money in my hand, and I don't panic in my heart.

At this moment, Lu Yuan was naturally in a good mood.

Even in comparison, the fifty-two Divine Blood Spirit Pills taken out of the Iron Sword Gate Treasure were insignificant.

After all, now under his hands, counting the Five Poisons Sect, there is already an innate grandmaster and seven first-class masters, and the top-level combat power is not scarce.

And if it is a second-rate master, counting his own disciples, the Five Poisons Sect, and those patrols and inspections in local governments and counties, the number is even more than 100.

The third-rate players are even closer to five or six hundred.

So many second- and third-rate masters and good players are enough to fill the lack of his middle-level combat power.

And then count the 100,000 ordinary soldiers.

So in terms of the top, middle, and bottom, Lu Yuan is already complete, and there are no obvious shortcomings.

Under such circumstances, he was harvesting fifty-two Divine Blood Spirit Pills, and the effect he could have was not as good as before.

Of course, this is not true, it is useless to say that these Divine Cave Elixir is useless.

On the contrary, it is actually very useful.

After all, if used properly, this would allow Lu Yuan to have six or seven more first-class masters.

But helpless.

Over the years, although he has tried to accept as many apprentices as possible, the time is still short.

In just a few years, the training can't keep up after all.

The state of mind of many disciples is not enough to support first-class or even second-rate strength.

In this way, no matter how many Divine Blood Spirit Pills he has, he won't be able to play a role at all, because you can't even find the person he cultivates.

But if you don't find your own disciples and find others, then Lu Yuan can't believe it.

In today's war-torn world, people's hearts are scattered, etiquette and music are broken, and morality does not exist.

Loyalty and betrayal are often a thought.

Just like himself.

At this time, it is the camp of the imperial court, but in a few days, maybe it will go to the opposite side of the imperial court.

How can he trust those under his command who are not close to him and are not deeply bound by interests to be loyal to him?

Compared with.

Accepting more named disciples may still be unreliable.

But at least there is such a layer of name, and there is more kindness in teaching exercises, giving spiritual pills, and being your own disciple, you can have the benefits of fame and fortune......

With the binding of the above titles, favors, and interests, the possibility of a disciple's rebellion will be greatly reduced.

In this way, when Lu Yuan uses it, he will naturally be more at ease and more willing to cultivate.

Therefore, now the fifty-two Divine Blood Spirit Pills, as well as the seven Water Purification Xuandans that were stored before, and the Cangtou Dragon Armor Pill that Feng Zhijie was refining, he was useless for the time being.

If you want to put these elixirs into use, it will take at least two or three years.

However, at that time, it is uncertain whether Lu Yuan still needs to continue to cultivate first-class masters.

……

With a full harvest, Lu Yuan's extermination team returned to Shaoyang Mansion after going out for twenty days.

Most of the time spent on this house is on the road.

It's just that after returning to Shaoyang Mansion, he received a message from his side.

"The 100,000 army of the imperial court went on the expedition, with Yang Jing, Marquis of Wuxuan, as the commander, Qiao Kangquan, the head of the Guangling Guanhai Villa, and the current national teacher as the deputy marshal.

These two have already commanded a large army to enter Yuzhang County, but the soldiers and horses are stationed in Xunyang Mansion, and they have not gone any further. ”

Yan Wangqiu and Su Xuange, who stayed behind in Shaoyang Mansion, immediately came to the door after Lu Yuan came back and informed him of the news they had received these days.

Wu Xuanhou, is this Yang Jing's title?

Lu Yuan remembered the Yang Jing who had pulled himself into the Top Ten Grandmaster Plan, the head of the Nanling Yang family.

Now that I haven't seen him for more than a year, the other party has been named Marquis Wuxuan and has become the commander of the 100,000-strong army.

It is even very likely that the two will split the camp and meet each other.

Then again, according to the practice of the imperial court.

If someone in the country breaks through the innate nature, then a marquis title that begins with the word martial will be given.

Such as the Marquis of Wucheng, the Marquis of Wu'an, the Marquis of Wuxuan, etc., although they are called marquises, they are much more important than princes and princes.

At this time, Lu Yuan also broke through the innate nature, but the imperial court has not been titled, could it be forgotten?

'Or the court thinks that I am about to seal the country, and when the time comes, I will tear the ground and open the country, so naturally I won't need a semicolon, so I don't bother to take it. ’

Lu Yuan thought about it in his heart, and he was indeed a little disappointed.

He still really wants to have a marquis title that starts with the word martial arts, after all, this is an official recognition of the imperial court and a symbol of strength.

It's a pity that it's gone.

These cranky thoughts flashed in his heart, and Lu Yuan quickly calmed down these distractions and returned to the topic.

Looking at his two allies with burning eyes, he thought for a moment and asked, "Is the imperial court guarding against us?" ”

Before Lu Yuan went to Luling Mansion, he had already signaled Yan Wangqiu and Su Xuange, and asked the two to start spreading the news and spreading the matter of the three-person alliance to the imperial court to test the reaction of the other side.

Now twenty days have passed, if you don't stop all the way, take the light boat on the river and go straight downstream, and the news is enough to be transmitted back to the Jinling Imperial Court and to the army that has already started the Western Expedition.

So at this time, Yang Jing and the others probably had already received the news and knew that the situation had changed.

That's why he stopped in Xunyang, didn't take the liberty of leading the army, and drove into Dongting County.

Yan Wangqiu nodded and said, "It should be so." ”

These days, this old grandmaster and Su Xuange have also guessed the various reactions of the imperial court.

Therefore, after hearing the news that the Western Expeditionary Army was staying in Xunyang, he immediately concluded that the imperial court was guarding against them.

After all, after he and Lu Yuan defected, and at the same time, there were one more Su Xuange and Lan Cai'er here, and Lu Yuan's camp already had four innate grandmasters.

Counting Lu Yuan's foundation in Dongting County, where is the 100,000 army?

Even as long as he is willing, he can easily pull up more than 200,000 Miao Yue militias.

These four innate grandmasters and 300,000 troops are here, and now their attitudes are ambiguous, and they are even faintly hostile.

Give Yang Jing ten guts, he doesn't dare to come to Dongting County!

After all, here, even if he led the troops here, in the south of Dongting County, the imperial court only had four innate grandmasters and 1340,000 soldiers.

Compared to strength, it may not be as strong as Lu Yuan's side.

As for that Wucheng Marquis Bai Mengyang?

At this time, he still led more than 20,000 remnants of soldiers, hiding in Tianmen Mansion, besieged by hundreds of thousands of troops of the Zhou people!

If it weren't for the Tianmen Mansion City near the river, Bai Mengyang would have been able to get the help of the imperial court sailors, and the supply of materials would have been continuous, I am afraid that it would have been lost a long time ago.

But even so, this Wu Anhou was reluctant to protect himself, and if he wanted to meddle in the situation in Jiangnan, he didn't even think about it.

In such a situation.

The court naturally threw a rat trap and did not dare to act rashly.

Otherwise, if Lu Yuan threw himself into the Zhou people, then the Nanhai faction and the Jiuchuan sword faction would follow. Then the entire situation in the world will collapse in an instant.

Not to mention keeping Dongting County, I'm afraid that the entire Dayue world will not be able to keep it.

Su Xuange next to him also smiled at this time: "It is estimated that the imperial court is also cursing with a headache in his heart at this time, how to deal with our rebels." I just don't know whether the court is ready to use suppression or appeasement in response to us. ”

Of course, Lu Yuan knew the situation of the imperial court at this time, and after listening to Su Xuange's ridiculous words, he also smiled slightly: "It is impossible to suppress the estimate, after all, the imperial court doesn't want to end up with us." Those families in Linhai County, all of them are expensive?

In this world, the emperor is dominant, and for them, it is just a game in which they take turns to make their own decisions.

Now that the chessboard is about to be lifted, the game can't be played, how can the six surnames and seven clans be willing to see it.

At this time, there was no movement in Xunyang Mansion, and it was estimated that there was internal discussion of countermeasures and how to appease us.

Look, it won't be long before an angel from the imperial court comes over and discusses the conditions with us. ”

Yan Wangqiu said with a smile: "I don't know what conditions the imperial court will offer, if you still give a dilapidated half-county land like before, it will be a dispatch of Huazi." ”

Su Xuange also nodded and said, "Not bad." This time, I waited for three people, and there was no land in one county, so the court didn't want to live in peace. ”

Lu Yuan laughed: "Let's wait." ”

So in the midst of this laughter, this conversation about the court came to an end.

……

For the appeasement of the imperial court, Lu Yuan is waiting here.

But while waiting, he didn't do nothing.

First of all, there were 100,000 soldiers under Lu Yuan, and he divided 10,000 and let his disciple Zhang You lead them into Luyang Mansion to guard against Yuzhang County here.

Then he left 20,000 people behind, and ordered his disciple Chu to guard the Wuling Mansion and guard against the Zhou people and the imperial court sailors in the north. At the same time, a part of the soldiers and horses were divided to take over the counties of Anxiang and Shiyang in the west of Yueyang Mansion to build a Linjiang defense line.

Then he left another 20,000 people and ordered his disciple Han Shun to guard the three mansions in the south of the county.

Then he divided 10,000 soldiers, led by his disciple Li Liang, and stationed in Hengyang Mansion, officially taking over the prefecture and county under the rule of the imperial court.

Later, Lu Yuan himself personally commanded 40,000 soldiers, as well as 60,000 Miao soldiers, and took his disciples Zhou Qing, Yan Wangqiu, Su Xuange, and Lan Zhaoyun's father and daughter, and others, with 100,000 people, to enter Changsha Mansion.

During this period, Shangguan Ming heard the news and directly led the 30,000 troops surrounding Yiyang County, Changsha Prefecture, and withdrew to Baling County overnight, not daring to meet Lu Yuan at all.

And Lu Yuan's side can be regarded as taking over from Shangguan Ming, and continues to surround Yiyang County and surround Li Yanjing's 8,000 remnants in the city.

While surrounding these Zhou soldiers, Lu Yuan also began to divide his troops and took over the counties of Changsha Prefecture respectively.

Later, Zhou Qing was dispatched, leading 10,000 soldiers and 20,000 Miao soldiers, to the north to occupy Miluo County and the southern part of Yueyang Mansion, thinking that it was the northern barrier of Changsha Mansion.

After such a series of actions, the entire Jiangnan Nine Prefectures of Dongting County, except for the county capital Baling City, and the two counties of Linxiang and Huarong around the county town, were all under Lu Yuan's control.

Under this large-scale action, Shangguan Ming could only lead 40,000 soldiers and horses, and for a while, he was like Bai Mengyang, Hou of Wu'an, and could only rely on the Yangtze River Naval Division, shrinking around the county seat, and it was difficult to maintain.

In this Dongting Jiangnan land, overnight, the situation changed abruptly.

The general Zhengnan and the Marquis of Luyang, who originally belonged to the imperial court, raised more than 100,000 troops at this time, and confronted the imperial court across the Yangtze River and the Great Lake on the Yangtze River.

Although the two sides will still tear their faces, and even Lu Yuan is still waving the banner of the imperial court, almost everyone with a little insight knows that the direction of the wind and the situation have changed.

But that's not the end of it.

After taking over the Jiangnan land of Dongting County, in order to further persecute the imperial court, Lu Yuan finally started the official selection examination that had been delayed and delayed for a long time.

This time, the scope of the election of officials, he spread to the nine prefectures in the south of the Yangtze River in Dongting County, and issued an examination notice to all the talents.

This bright imperial examination nakedly bought people's hearts, and almost announced the things that Lu Yuan was thinking about to the world without concealment.

Naturally, there was an uproar in Dongting County.

Not only Dongting County, but also the counties of Zhou and Liang in Jiangbei and Yue in Jiangnan were shocked and stunned after the news of Lu Yuan's actions spread.

It's just that after Zhou and Liang were shocked, especially Zhou, they immediately sent envoys to communicate with Lu Yuan.

wants to unite with this suddenly rebellious general to conquer the south, attack the Yue country from the north and south, completely open up the Yangtze River waterway, and let hundreds of thousands of troops in the north of the river cross the river.

And the imperial court, after Lu Yuan's series of actions, couldn't sit still anymore.

On April 14 of the seventh year of Hongdao, a light boat came from the east, crossed the Yangtze River and Dongting Lake, and came to Yiyang County, where Lu Yuan was located.

……

In the military camp outside Yiyang County, Lu Yuan opened the camp door and led Su Xuange and others to greet this angel from the imperial court.

Just met, the angel looked Lu Yuan up and down, and then looked at Su Xuange, Yan Wangqiu, Lan Caier and others behind him, and after looking at them for a long time, he retracted his gaze and said in a complicated tone: "General Lu, I haven't seen you for more than a year, and the general's demeanor is even better." ”

Lu Yuan looked directly at the other party's gaze, his expression was calm, and he smiled slightly: "General Yang is too, I haven't seen him for more than a year, and he has been promoted from the Taichang Siqing of the imperial court to the general of Zhengbei and the Marquis of Wuxuan. Now he is commanding an army of 100,000 to deter the northern captives, and his voice is magnificent, which shakes the world. ”

When Yang Jing heard this, his expression was slightly cold, and he said in an unkind tone: "If there is no matter of General Lu today, then I will lead the troops this time, and I can indeed deter the northern captives, recover the lost territory, and make great achievements in battle, so that the world will tremble."

But today, the general with hundreds of thousands of soldiers, Chen in Jiangnan.

I have only 100,000 soldiers and horses, but I am also taken by General Lu's prestige, so I can only stop at Xunyang and dare not take another step.

The general is so majestic, so bold, so capable! ”

Yang Jing has been big for three times in a row, showing the anger and dissatisfaction in his heart vividly.
