After determining the strategy of uniting the Su State, the Xichuan State, and the Jiuzhen County Xie Ning to jointly send troops, everyone will work together to attack the country.

On the side of the Chu State court, it was quickly implemented.

The envoys of Honglu Temple went out in all directions, went to various countries, and began to make contact.

However, these three parties are thousands of miles away, or even thousands of miles away, and it takes more than a month just to go back and forth.

If you have to exchange ideas back and forth and reach a compromise with each other, you don't know how much time it will take.

And on the side of the Soviet State.

Although after discussion, it has been determined that Su Xuange will basically not refuse, this can help him solve the problem of military salaries, and can meet the proposal of the Soviet Union to expand its territory.

But no matter how willing people are, they have to wait for the other party to calm down the country first, right?

If there is unrest in the country and turmoil is still there, how can we send troops?

Therefore, this coalition army will have to wait for the Soviet Union to calm down the civil strife at the earliest, and then sort out some national politics and stabilize internally.

Again, this is a time-consuming thing.

Therefore, according to the discussion between Lu Yuan and the ministers, it was unanimously agreed that even if the troops were sent on this occasion, they would have to wait until a year later, that is, the fifth year of Shenwu, at the earliest.

It's been quite a long time, so to speak.

But it's okay to wait for one more year, and the state of Chu will be able to prepare for one more year.

With this year's buffer, not only can we save more military spending, but also make the country more stable and the external environment more stable.

The most important thing is.

A year later, Zhou Qing was already born.

At that time, there will really be one more innate in the country, and Lu Yuan will be able to lead the troops with better peace of mind.

From this point of view, it is actually more prudent to delay for a year.

So the New Year passed, and for the entire four years of Shenwu, the strategy of the Chu State was carried out in this way.

In terms of the court, under the auspices of Cui Changqing, various ordnance materials in the country began to be transported in batches to the three prefectures of Wuling, Shaoyang, and Lingling on the western front.

The 100,000-strong army went on the expedition, and the consumption of various materials was simply astronomical.

If you don't prepare in advance, wait until the army moves, and then deal with it in a hurry, then you will be in a hurry, and you will be a mess.

Those who do not plan for the future are not enough to plan for a while.

At this time, for this big war, the court of Chu led by Cui Changqing has been running rapidly.

The civilian officials are stockpiling supplies and preparing logistics. On the military general's side, the operation has also begun.

First of all, Li Liang, the general who had just presented a strategy of cooperation, after discussion, without waiting for the New Year, had already led a forbidden army in the name of guarding against the rebellious people of the Soviet Union, and rushed south to Lingling Mansion.

According to the plan that has been set.

Li Liang will be over there, while collecting the fugitives from the Soviet State, to prevent this troubled era from spreading to the Chu State.

At the same time, spies will be sent over there to go deep into the Great Changhe Kingdom in the west, and begin to spy on the inside of it, so as to prepare for the future dispatch of troops.

Not only Li Liang, but even Zhou Qing in Xiangyang in the north, Lu Yuan wrote and ordered to transfer back a forbidden army.

This time to send troops to the Great Changhe Kingdom, Lu Yuan's initial budget was to use five forbidden armies, with a total of 100,000 soldiers and horses.

So in the end, there were only four forbidden armies and 80,000 soldiers and horses that could stay in the country.

For the distribution of these left-behind troops, Lu Yuan's arrangement was to garrison two forbidden armies of 40,000 people in Xiangyang City, led by Zhou Qing, to guard against the pressure of the three northern countries. …

Then leave a forbidden army in Baling City and a forbidden army in Changsha City, and let Lan Caier be in charge of the government as the queen, responsible for dealing with the pressure of Ningguo in the east.

In this way, there are two forbidden armies and two grandmasters in the north and south, plus the assistance of the local government and county soldiers and county soldiers, and they can barely ensure stability.

And the remaining five forbidden armies, naturally led by Lu Yuan himself, followed the expedition to the Great Changhe Kingdom.

At this time, the mobilization of troops and horses of various departments has been slowly unfolded.

The five forbidden armies will also be gradually mobilized to the Western Front under various names, and finally when the war begins, it will be completely launched.

Everything is in full swing.

……

Then there's the Five Poisons Sect.

Since he and Lan Cai'er got married, the Five Poisons Sect has become a dowry, and it was packaged and given to the Chu State together.

In this case, as Lu Yuan's father-in-law, although Lan Zhaoyun nominally led the Five Poisons Sect, he completely retreated from the world's strife to the Jianghu Martial Arts.

But for such a huge force, how could Lu Yuan really let them go.

Therefore, in private, the Five Poisons Sect has actually always assumed the responsibility of assisting the Chu court and managing domestic affairs.

And now, for this power of the rivers and lakes, especially the power of the Miao people, Lu Yuan has used it again.

The Miao people have been entrenched in Dongting County for a long time, and the history that has been examinable is tens of thousands of years, which can be traced back to the period of the Three Emperors in ancient times.

And as a native aborigine, and close to the southwest Yi, it is absolutely false to say that there is no relationship between the two tribes.

In fact, the Miao people and the Yi people are not only closely related, but there are even many intermarriages between them, and some miscellaneous tribes are even difficult to distinguish whether they are Yi or Miao.

Therefore, in the southwest Yi region, especially in the Dachanghe country, the Miao people have many relatives and even networks.

Therefore, when Lu Yuan mentioned to Lan Cai'er that he wanted to plot against Dachang and the country, the queen asked Lu Yuan to find her father as soon as possible.

As a spiritual symbol of the Miao people, the status of the Five Poisons Sect is extremely respected, and most of the relationship network between the Miao people and the Southwest Yi people is maintained by the Five Poisons Sect.

Regarding the specific situation of the Yi people over there, you can know the details directly by looking for the Five Poison Sect and Lan Zhaoyun.

And the truth is no longer what Lu Yuan expected.

"My lord, my Miao people do have many intermarriages with the Southwest Yi people. Even at the junction of the two tribes, there are many tribes that have migrated without distinction.

Some of these tribes have already established a state and become a small state under the Great Changhe State.

Most of these tribal states are allies of our race. ”

After Lan Zhaoyun received Lu Yuan's summons, he rushed to Baling City, and then without taking a breath, he was summoned to ask the right question.

Fortunately, on the way to come, he was prepared for what would be asked, and at this time he talked eloquently: "I dare not say more." However, if the king wants to find out the truth of the country and find out the geography of the mountains and rivers in his country, it will not be difficult for my sect. …

All you need to do is go back and tidy up a bit, and you can present the album. When the army goes out, it can also send guides to guide the path.

Even if you recruit some small tribes, my sect can also help, so that they can return to the king's division and provide troops and food. ”

Lan Zhaoyun said this with great confidence.

He does have self-confidence.

With the results of many years of intermarriage between the Miao and Yi people, the Five Poisons Sect has become a big Changhe country, and its influence is actually not small.

I don't dare to say more, but it is not difficult to help Lu Yuan recruit tens of thousands of Yi people and find some guides who are familiar with the geography of the local mountains and rivers.

Seeing that his father-in-law was so confident, Lu Yuan couldn't help but smile and said happily: "Then since this is the case, this matter will be handed over to the father-in-law." At the beginning of next year, my Dachu will send troops to the Great Changhe Kingdom. At that time, the army will be dispatched, and the roads along the way and the direction of the enemy will all depend on the country. ”

When Lan Zhaoyun heard this, he responded without hesitation: "Don't worry, the king, this matter will be handed over to the old minister." ”

With the birth of two sons in succession between Lu Yuan and Lan Cai'er, and the birth of the two heirs of Great Chu one after another, the bond between the Five Poisons Sect and the Chu State has become deeper and deeper.

At this time, Lu Yuan was still in power, and Lan Zhaoyun didn't dare to think carefully.

But he has pinned all his hopes on his two grandchildren.

In the future, if he is one of these two grandsons, he can inherit the unification of Chu. So this new monarch with half Miao blood, for the sake of his mother, can he take care of his mother's family?

At that time, the Miao people rose, and even were relied on by the new monarch and were active in the court of the Chu State, and everything was no longer a dream.

Especially some time ago, Lan Cai'er revealed some words to her father, and learned that Lu Yuan had plans to train his eldest son to become an innate grandmaster, and Lan Zhaoyun was even more convinced of this.

Cultivating the eldest son into an innate grandmaster, this kind of treatment, what is not the prince?

And he is now a grandfather, and at this time, he wants to help Lu Yuan, the ancestor, and make more contributions. In order to succeed the throne for the future prince, earn more merits.

Although Lu Yuan is only a woman at the moment, with the lifespan of the other party's innate grandmaster, there are still more than a hundred years to live in the future, and the variables are too great.

At that time, if he pampers other women and gives birth to a prince, who knows if it will cause a storm of contention?

It's all possible.

And at that time, if his grandson wins the position of prince, he will have to rely on his merits and the mother clan of the Miao people.

Therefore, no matter what, Lan Zhaoyun, who is a grandfather, must also earn more merits for his grandson at this time, so as to plan for the future.

Our Blue Sect Master has long had this kind of realization in his heart.

……

The court is busy here, the army is also busy, and even the rivers and lakes in charge of the Five Poisons Sect are also busy at this time.

The court was busy inside and outside.

On the contrary, it was Lu Yuan, after making many decision-making arrangements, he didn't have to take care of the specific affairs by himself, and in the end he was idle.

Fortunately, he is an extremely self-disciplined person.

Although I have a lot of free time, I basically use it for cultivation, and occasionally when I feel tired, I go to Lan Caier to have a good time and enjoy some pleasure as a couple.

This day is also full and comfortable.

Until an uninvited guest arrives. …

In the palace, Lu Yuan looked at the invitation to see the post sent by the inner servant, looked at the familiar name on it, and the meeting ceremony written 10 million taels of silver, and couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

After a long time, he finally came to his senses and sighed softly.

"It should come, it will always come. I've been hiding for so long now, and it's good to be able to prepare for me for so long. ”

Lu Yuan shook his head, and then said with a smile: "But when I come, I can get another 10 million taels of silver, and I am really sleepy, so I will send me a pillow." Danding Dao knew that this king was now missing the assistance of the Su State, so he hurriedly sent so much money, which really solved my urgent need.

It just so happened that this last sum was fished out and enough military expenses were raised.

By the way, I will have a showdown with them again and find out the attitude.

I want to see, how Danding Dao will react? ”

With the gradual improvement of his strength now, Lu Yuan is far from being afraid of Danding Dao at this time.

Now facing each other, there may be a lot of pressure on him.

But it must not be said that there is no power to fight back.

It should be no big problem to protect yourself, and even protect the Chu State.

The only variable is that at this critical moment of the conquest of the Great Changhe Kingdom, the Danding Dao is suddenly evil, will it make this expedition impossible to carry out.

But if it does go that far.

For the sake of small lives, for the sake of safety, if you really want to give up attacking the Great Changhe Kingdom, Lu Yuan can also accept it.

After all, compared to expanding the territory, it is more important to have your own life.

"Of course, in the end, it depends on Anqiu's attitude."

Lu Yuan thought like this, and then asked people to check the silver money sent by Danding Dao, and after receiving the return and confirming that the amount was correct.

Only then did an edict be passed down and Anqiu Zhenren was summoned to come and meet him.

"Poor Dao Anqiu, I have seen the king."

In the hall of Lihe, Anqiu Zhenren gave a salute to the person in front of him, and then looked at it carefully.

I haven't seen this king for several years, and the change in front of me is really earth-shaking.

Not only is the breath more calm, but the majesty on his body is also deeper than before.

At a glance of the tiger's eyes, Anqiu Zhenren looked at him, and he was a little frightened, and he didn't dare to look at it directly.

This kind of experience shocked him.

Because Anqiu Zhenren knows that being able to make himself feel this way is by no means something that the so-called kingly temperament can do.

He is a monk, he respects heaven and earth, the power of heaven and earth, and the power of heaven and earth is his own, but he does not recognize the king of the Son of Heaven, and he will not be afraid and surrender because of this.

What made him retreat just now was the terrifying divine thought that came from the other party when the two of them met their eyes.

This kind of divine thought is almost comparable to that of the Taoist Master. ，

Thinking back to the terrible pressure of the contact just now, Anqiu Zhenren almost instantly thought of his own Dao Master, followed by a burst of horror, and finally ecstasy.

He was shocked at how quickly Lu Yuan had grown.

Back in the day, when the two first met, this son was just a first-class martial artist. Not to mention that it frightens oneself, even the innate has never reached it.

But at this time, after only five or six years, the other party's cultivation was almost comparable to his own Dao master.

What is the realm of your own Dao master?

That is a fairy road, condensed one of the five elements of one of the characters, can enjoy the world for 200 years, the real world's top. …

Lu Yuan can actually give him a feeling comparable to that of a Dao Master, does this mean that the other party's cultivation has also condensed?

Even if it doesn't, according to this realm, it should not be far behind.

To be able to reach such a state so quickly, there is absolutely no other possibility than the Taiping Taoist book.

Lu Yuan must be a Taiping Taoist book of practice.

However, what the Dao Master discussed with us was right before, Lu Yuan's strength is not what it used to be.

He has such strength, and I Danding Dao must not be easily evil, otherwise there will be endless troubles in the future, and a catastrophe will be born.

This time, I sent 10 million taels of silver as a meeting gift, which seems to be the right thing. ，

Thinking like this in his heart, Anqiu Zhenren didn't dare to look at Lu Yuan anymore, so as not to disturb this king and anger the other party.

And his caution was naturally seen by Lu Yuan, who was sitting on the throne above.

So he couldn't help but smile and said: "Anqiu Daoyou, I haven't seen you for a few years, Daoyou came today with a generous gift, but what's the matter?" ”

Anqiu Zhenren was awakened by these words, and then put away his thoughts and replied respectfully: "Your lord, the old Tao is here, in fact, it is not a big deal. I heard that the king wanted to conquer the Great Chang and the country, and there was a lack of money in the army, so he specially came to offer a piece of military funds as an aid. ”

"Assistance?"

When Lu Yuan heard this, he couldn't help but look this old way up and down, and said meaningfully: "This king wants to conquer the Great Changhe Kingdom, and he has never spoken to outsiders, and he has even announced it. Danding Dao is thousands of miles away, and he belongs to another country with me, but he can learn about it early.

The news is really well-informed, and I really care about this king. ”

Saying this, a little vigilance rose in his heart.

As it says.

To conquer the Great Changhe State, this is almost a secret of the Chu State. Even for the sake of secrecy, Lu Yuan made many arrangements and took precautions.

But even so, Danding Dao still learned about it in advance, and this advance time was not short.

What does this mean?

It means that the inside of the court of Chu may have been infiltrated.

The group of ministers sitting down, I don't know how many of them are other people's internal spies?

As soon as he thought of this, Lu Yuan couldn't help but have a plan to clean the court.

Fortunately, he knew that this move was inappropriate, and it could easily cause turmoil, cause everyone in the courtiers to endanger themselves, and affect the stability of the country.

And this kind of internal spy must be very hidden, if you really want to find out, in the absence of mind reading, I'm afraid it's not so simple.

Therefore, this thought was just thought about, and after considering the gains and losses, Lu Yuan could only let it go.

It's just that even so, he was a little more jealous of the immortal sect like Danding Dao, which had been inherited for thousands of years.

Regardless of the opponent's force.

But this kind of network of contacts that has been passed down for thousands of years, and this kind of powerful intelligence ability, is enough to make people fearful.

Such a big enemy, if you want to deal with it, it is really not that simple.

Lu Yuan's heart couldn't help but sink.

In this way, when two people in the hall who had their own hearts met, they became jealous of each other.

However, both of them are old foxes, and even though they are a little out of shape, they both quickly converge.

At this time, I saw that Anqiu Zhenren listened to Lu Yuan's sarcastic words, his expression remained unchanged, and he said with a smile on his face: "My Danding Dao has been inherited for thousands of years, and my ears and eyes are always a little better than others." Moreover, the king is a friend of the Tao, and the relationship is extraordinary.

I am a little more attentive to the king, this is also common sense, don't blame the king! ”

When Lu Yuan heard this, he couldn't help but sneer: "Interested in me? I'm afraid it's this heart, it's the heart, how long will the king die? ”

As soon as these words came out, they immediately pierced the camouflage on both sides and tore off the last layer of face.

Since sooner or later you have to tear your face and break with each other.

Anyway, the final result is the same, then Lu Yuan doesn't want to play any tricks, what kind of tongue is talking, it is purely a waste of time.

When this is not the case, explain everything, make everything clear, put the problem on the surface, and just make a conclusion.

Anqiu Zhenren changed color and said: "Why did the king say this? I have always thought of the king, but I have never thought of it like this. ”

"Alright."

Lu Yuan interrupted him with a wave of his hand, and then the momentum on his body spread, with huge pressure, he stared straight at the representative of the Danding Dao and said, "Anqiu, you and I are also acquainted. At the beginning, our agreement was also clear.

What are you thinking, you don't have to be sloppy with loneliness.

But things are going to disappoint you, and they are going to disappoint the Danding Dao behind you.

Although Lone took the Taiping Dao Book and sacrificed to the Heavenly Pillar, he did not cultivate this immortal method in the end.

What you and what you think behind your back has completely failed. ”

Lu Yuan didn't speak in a hurry, but the pressure brought was extremely great, forcing Anqiu Zhenren's forehead to sweat a little.

And after the showdown, after hearing the content clearly, this real person of Danding Dao immediately shook his head, and the tone of his speech was much higher: "This is impossible!" ”

I saw Anqiu's face shocked, and his voice was a little afraid.
