Chapter 349: The decisive battle begins
It's still Mei Changyuan.
At this time, the plum blossoms had not bloomed, but the fruits were ripe, Lu Yuan picked a plate of bright red plums, and talked with Mo Li about wine tasting.
After a while, they talked to each other, and the two talked about the topic.
"Leaving this time, I will fly the seven monks in the Frost Dao Gate, and they will all set off together and rush to the Northern Netherworld. After that, there will only be a Dharma protector who cultivates martial arts. ”
Mo Li talked about his Dao Gate first, then glanced at Lu Yuan, and continued: "The same arrangement is made over there in Ziyun Dao. The eleven monks in its sect will all leave, and only the Dharma Protector will remain, and there will be no immortal cultivators.
After that, the king can rest assured that there are no monks to influence the world and interfere in the world. ”
Now the atmosphere in Yangzhou is becoming more and more depressing, and the clouds of war can be perceived even by the farmers in the fields.
But this atmosphere has only continued to accumulate all along, constantly adding sparks to the powder keg, making it more and more fierce when it explodes.
There are many speculations from outsiders, thinking that the king of Chu has been holding back, what is his plan?
But a monk like Mo Li, or a person from the Immortal Sect, actually had a faint guess about Lu Yuan's waiting.
In terms of the world, everything is ready, whether it is the Chu State or the Ning State and other four countries, they are all ready and waiting for the war.
But no.
Because above the world, there is also a transcendent force like Xianmen, which affects the situation in the world.
And as a member of the immortal sect, or a member of the dominant position, Mo Li certainly knows what kind of thoughts the secular dynasty has for these transcendent immortal sects?
Therefore, as for Lu Yuan's thoughts, he only thought about it a little, and it was clear.
But although he knew it, he didn't want to change anything.
Just like what the world is afraid of, the immortal gate is high and does not interfere with the mundane on the surface.
But in fact, every bit of the mundane has the shadow of the immortal gate controlling it behind it.
This is the interest of the Xianmen alone.
As a person with vested interests, Mo Li certainly won't be thankless and make a change.
Moreover.
The last remnants of their immortal sect will soon fly away.
At that time, all the shadows that are entrenched in the mundane will also be completely withdrawn.
The Purple Cloud Dao, which the Chu State was afraid of now, would soon lose that formidable power.
Everything comes naturally, and everything can be achieved without much effort.
The only thing that needs to be paid is time.
And now, the time has come.
However, after listening to what Mo Li said, Lu Yuan was quite surprised in his heart.
This is not to surprise the other party to leave, but to be lean in this world of the end of the law, these immortal sects still have so many monks.
One Flying Frost Dao, there are seven monks.
There are even twelve people in Ziyun Dao.
These immortal sects are really profound.
It was a wise choice that I didn't do anything with these immortals at the beginning.
Otherwise, even with his current strength, if he faced the siege of more than a dozen monks at once, even if most of them didn't even enter the Immortal Gate, he would not be able to cultivate a single breath.
But more than a dozen and dozens of spells bombarded over, mixed with some magic weapons that could exist, it was enough to be fatal.
"Fortunately, these remnants of the old era are finally going to leave completely."
After listening to what Mo Li said, Lu Yuan's expression moved slightly, and he secretly thought to himself in his heart, but he quickly regained his calm, and said with a smile: "It's also a good thing that Daoyou and the others left this cage. In this world, all souls are extinct, and disasters are frequent, as if they were the last days.
In the meantime, even if there are six desires of red dust, it is only a temporary joy, and it is difficult to transcend after all.
Now abandon this small cage and go to the big world, and from then on you will be at ease, and the fairy road can be expected.
It's me, at this time, Hongchen is entangled, and it is difficult to get out.
Once Daoyou and the others are gone, I don't know if there will be a day of detachment in the future. ”
When Mo Li heard this, he couldn't help but smile, but when he thought of something, he sighed and said, "If you can really fly as you wish, this is indeed a good thing." But the matter of the northern underworld is mysterious and unpredictable, and it is difficult to know.
No one knows whether it is evil or auspicious after the ascension, and they don't know whether the legend of the fairy world is true or false.
Tens of thousands of years have passed since ancient times.
With the help of some classics, our descendants can get a glimpse of the secrets of the ancient stars, and they think that they have mastered the avenue, and what is the difference between sitting in a well and watching the sky?
Woe to blessings.
It may be that after detachment, it will be nothing more than a larger cage, or a place of death.
On the contrary, Daoyou stayed in Kyushu, so he was in a small cage, but maybe he could spend his life in peace and let his children and grandchildren enjoy the blessings?
This is not without a blessing. ”
This Flying Frost Dao Master suddenly sighed with sadness.
Ascension matters so much that the lives of all people are at stake.
No matter how generous and passionate the original plan was, the will was firm and left no room for it.
But before the end, it is inevitable that there will be a little nervousness and cringe.
and uncertainties about the future.
At this time, Mo Li's mentality is like this.
Lu Yuan glanced at the other party and said with relief: "The saying of the fairy world has existed since ancient times. For tens of thousands of years, there have been countless people who have ascended. Since the ancient sages have chosen this way one after another, many of them have become immortals and gods.
Those predecessors Dao Fa cultivation is far superior to ours, they all chose this way, does not change the appearance to show that the path of ascension is feasible?
Daoists don't have to think too much, and they can fly up with peace of mind. ”
"Perhaps." Mo Li smiled, then restrained these emotions, and said, "By tomorrow, I will lead the people to set off, and Ziyun Dao should also leave at this time."
If you don't want any variables to happen, you can wait for half a month.
By then, we and other Kyushu monks should have already sailed out to sea, far away from the mainland.
At that time, such a big thing happened in Kyushu, and we people who were floating on the sea were unaware of it, and it was even more difficult to intervene.
Since then, everything in Kyushu has also been a little bit of nothing to do. ”
Considering that the Dao system of the Flying Frost Dao and the Chu State had been bound, Mo Li was making this last hint and admonition.
After Lu Yuan heard this, he also said with a straight face: "Lone knows, thank you for your good words." ”
"Hmm."
Mo Li nodded, and then didn't say anything more, just continued to taste wine and discuss with Lu Yuan, exchanging mystical methods, and felt uncomfortable.
And Lu Yuan also cherished it, and this was the last discussion with the Kyushu monks, and he also humbly asked for advice.
For a while, the two sides had a very happy conversation.
It wasn't until it was getting dark that he was reluctant to send Mo away.
On the walls of the palace.
Looking at Mo Li's back that was gradually disappearing in the darkness, Lu Yuan, who had retracted his mind from the Fa discussion, couldn't help but sigh in a low voice: "The end of the law is absolutely spiritual, from today onwards." ”
He knew that with the departure of the last group of monks of Mo Li, and the Northern Netherworld draining all the active spiritual energy in the heaven and earth, the true end of the Dharma world belonging to Kyushu was about to officially come.
Since then, the immortals have disappeared, and all spirits are not visible, which is the end of the law.
This is the sorrow of all those who aspire to transcendence, but it is also the prosperity of all mortals.
Without the intervention of innate martial artists, immortal sect cultivators, or any other extraordinary powers, the world would completely belong to ordinary people.
After that, power can no longer decide everything, and power and status will be the main theme of the world.
This is the age of mortals, and the age of the only transcendent being of him.
The prosperous era belonging to the immortals will soon begin.
The lights of thousands of homes in the city show the prosperity of Baling, and the worldly fireworks are strong.
Looking at the vast starry sky and the boundless Milky Way, Lu Yuan's thoughts flew away.
……
On the second day, he didn't come to say goodbye, and he didn't alarm anyone.
On the pier outside Baling City, on the boat marked with the flag of Feishuang Road, Mo Li and his group of seven people left quietly.
They will follow the river and go straight east, to the sea.
When Lu Yuan received the news, he had just woken up from the dormitory, he was just stunned for a moment, and then he didn't pay attention to it, but started this morning's morning class cultivation.
Although when Mo leaves these last monks in Kyushu, he will be the number one master in Kyushu.
In the whole of Kyushu, there is no one who can compare with him.
But even so, Lu Yuan didn't really sit back and relax.
Just by relying on the cultivation of condensing one qi, he may be able to become the first person in the world.
But this first person in the world does not mean that the world is invincible.
Otherwise, in the previous Xianmen period, Mo Li and the others would not have returned to the mountains.
At this time, it had to come up with benefits and support a secular dynasty to cooperate.
Although the monk said that he should have a pure heart and few desires, so as not to be dragged by the red dust of the world and disturb the cultivation of the Taoist heart.
You can get on all of this, it's all.
As long as the heart of the Great Dao is firm, like Lu Yuan, he can still step into the gate of the Immortal Dao.
And the various immortal gates, on the surface, do not interfere with the red dust.
But in fact, it is not to accept believers, thinking that it is wings. At the same time, he secretly befriended the powerful and manipulated the government.
This kind of behavior shows that Xianmen is not as clean and extraordinary as it seems.
The monks of the Xianmen are also selfish.
And these selfish monks did not dare to stand in front of the stage openly and directly establish the earthly Taoist kingdom.
This can only show that there is also the power of their jealousy in the world.
And this force is naturally those innate masters in the world.
When he reaches the innate realm, the grandmaster is comparable to a monk with mana.
In today's world, although there is no great master.
But if more than a dozen innate grandmasters joined forces, even a Dao Master-level cultivator who had condensed one would have to avoid the edge for the time being.
A hegemon in the world, with all the background, can basically make up more than ten congenitals.
It is these innate martial artists that constitute a balance with the Xianmen monks, so that the secular dynasty has the confidence to negotiate conditions with the Xianmen monks.
Therefore, even if Lu Yuan will soon become the number one master in the world.
But if he really let him sweep the world of Kyushu with his own strength, he was really reluctant.
With personal force, it may be nothing to dominate Yangzhou.
But Lu Yuan really wants to rely on the Dao Law to dominate the world.
It can't be said that all the innate grandmasters in Kyushu must unite first to eliminate his hidden danger that is beyond the norm.
And all the innate grandmasters in Kyushu, even if they are calculated according to more than a dozen people in one state, they have already exceeded hundreds.
If you add the Ten Domain Grandmasters, the number of innate beings is even more than two hundred, and maybe even three hundred.
With so many innate combat powers, there is no need to unite them all, as long as two or three states work together, it will be difficult for Lu Yuan to deal with it.
So the first person in the world, it sounds good, but it's actually nothing.
If you want to be truly invincible in the world, you have to continue to improve your strength, at least cultivate to the level of condensing two qi, maybe you can barely say that you can suppress Kyushu alone.
However, with Lu Yuan's steadiness, even if his cultivation has a condensation of two qi, he still feels that it is not enough insurance.
Only when the three qi are condensed, the mana in the body is formed into a small consummation, and the immortal path is small, can it be said that it is stable and worry-free.
And with his current cultivation as the realm and condensing the two qi, it will be two years after tomorrow.
The condensation of the three qi will not exceed thirty years at most.
This is still because of the thinness of the aura of heaven and earth, otherwise, with the characteristics of the law of luck, in ancient times, if you want to cultivate the condensed three qi, it will only take a few years.
This world of the end of the Dharma is indeed a cage for monks, and it makes people despair.
It is no wonder that Mo left them, knowing that the road to ascension was slim, but he still embarked on this unknown road without hesitation.
……
On the ninth day of the ninth month of the tenth year of Shenwu, Feishuang Dao left Dongting and set off for the Northern Netherworld.
On September 13, the eyeliner left in Yuzhang County sent back the news that a big ship left Tianluo Mountain, sailed out of Peng Lize, and went straight to the downstream of the river.
Then a few days later, Yuhua Mountain in Yongzhou, Tiannan Mountain in Qingzhou, and Panlong Mountain received news that a small group left Sanmen and went away by boat.
Meanwhile.
During this period, all the countries of Kyushu have stepped up various actions and carried out many preparations and vigilance.
Within Yangzhou, Ning, Suzhou, Song, and the South China Sea are even more frequent, and soldiers and horses are mobilized one after another, looking like a big war is about to start.
And the state of Chu.
On September 25, the sky was high and the wind was warm.
Outside Baling City, Lu Yuan officially took the stage to pay homage to the general, and in front of the generals of the three armies, he awarded the position of the general of the hussars of Qingyunzi, and ordered him to form a camp to conquer the south, as the commander of the camp, and ordered Li Xiong, the Duke of Kunhai, to be the deputy marshal.
Then he declared that the South China Sea State had rebelled against the covenant, fornicated with Ningguo, treacherously betrayed, and conspiracy was unforgivable.
Ordered the two to lead the three armies and lead the battalion to the south to conquer the South China Sea, a country that betrayed the alliance.
After this edict was read out in front of the three armies, it was immediately spread to the world and announced the matter to the world.
In an instant, the entire Baling was boiling.
The spies of the various countries who stayed in Baling quickly heard about the incident, and then used their own means to pass the matter back to China with a very fast speed.
In the midst of this disturbance, Qingyunzi and Li Xiong also led their own soldiers and rode south, overnight, and rushed to the front-line camp.
The soldiers and horses for this expedition to the south camp had been raised as early as a few months ago, mainly 100,000 vassals and 60,000 forbidden troops, a total of 160,000 troops, all of which had been deployed on the Lingnan front.
The front-line soldiers, horses, money, and food, and the people are brave, and they are also ready.
At this time, just wait for the two main and deputy marshals to arrive, and they can instantly pull up the camp and wave the army south.
Yes, just one day, when Qingyunzi and Li Xiong arrived at the front line of the camp, the next day, the vanguard of the camp of 50,000 troops, under the leadership of Li Xiong, marched south.
It officially crossed the junction of Chu and South China Sea and marched into Lingnan.
The South China Sea Kingdom was shaken for a while, and wherever the Chu soldiers passed, all the places were looking forward to the wind.
In addition to the 100,000 troops that had been gathered in the national capital, 50,000 people were conscripted and sent out, holding the national capital and closing the door.
At the same time, a series of messengers for help were sent to Song, Suzhou, and Ning to ask for reinforcements.
The smoke of war instantly ignited on the land of Lingnan and quickly spread to all sides.
……
Peng Li camp.
The light boat broke through the river and galloped down, and soon transmitted Baling's movements.
After the news was sent to the camp, Shen Qiu, who was reviewing the folds, instantly threw down the red pen in his hand and stood upright.
"Pass the generals, come to the tent quickly."
Shen Qiu's face was slightly excited, and he quickly gave an order to the guards on the left and right.
He has been in business for ten years since his founding succession. After leading the holy car to the west, he waited for several months.
At this time, the time for a decisive battle with the State of Chu has finally arrived.
Therefore, after hearing that the State of Chu had already moved troops to the South China Sea State, Shen Qiu immediately summoned the generals and prepared to declare war with the State of Chu.
Yangzhou can't accommodate two overlords, and there will be a battle between Chu Ning.
After this battle, the winner swept Yangzhou and unified Jiangnan.
The loser loses everything and loses everything.
Shen Qiu has gambled everything he has, and this is the time for the battlefield to fight and decide life and death.
The first day of October in the 11th year of Jianwu.
After receiving the news that Chu had sent troops, and it was confirmed that a major battle had taken place in Lingnan, that Chu and Nanhai had exchanged troops, and that Nanhai had sent an envoy for help.
On this day, Shen Qiu, the son of heaven of Ningguo, also outside Peng Li's camp, built an altar to worship the sky, declared that the Chu State was tyrannical and attacked the subject countries of the Celestial Empire for no reason.
Then he ordered Wucheng Marquis Shangguan Ming to be the general of the expedition to the south, and Wuyang Marquis Yuan Yi to be the deputy marshal, and the two formed a battalion to conquer the south, led 100,000 troops, and sent troops south to rescue the South China Sea.
In addition, Yang Jing, the Marquis of Wuxuan, who was far away in Xiangyang, was ordered to be the general of the expedition to the north, and Li Tai, the Marquis of Wuyi, was the deputy marshal, and the two formed a battalion to march north, commanding the 50,000 sailors and 50,000 cavalry troops of Xiangyang County, Ningguo, to attack Xiangyang County of Chu.
At the same time, Shen Qiu appointed himself as the commander-in-chief, set up a camp to conquer the west, and led the remaining five martial marquis, as well as 50,000 sailors, and 350,000 infantry cavalry, as the main force, to attack Dongting County of Chu State, with the goal of taking Chu Capital Baling.
For a time, the three armies of the north and south of the Ning State, with a total of 600,000 land and water people, were mighty and mighty to crusade against the Chu State.
The news spread, Yangzhou was shaken, and the surrounding countries were shaken.
When this ripple reached Lingnan, immediately after Ningguo, Xie Ning, the lord of the Song Kingdom, led the north to meet Su Xuange, the king of Su, and the two countries once again swore an oath to the sky.
Then the kings of the two countries swore an oath on the spot, read out the crimes of the Chu State, counted all kinds of unreasonable acts, drank blood, and jointly announced to the world and announced a crusade against the tyrannical Chu.
Immediately afterwards, the Song State sent 70,000 troops, the Soviet State sent 30,000 troops, and the two countries combined 100,000 troops, with Xie Ning as the commander of the army and Su Xuange as the deputy commander, announced the Northern Expedition of the army and crusaded against the Chu State.
The armies of the two countries crossed the five mountains and went straight to the Lingling Mansion in Dongting, Chu State, and took the initiative to provoke a war.
In just half a month, the flames of war burned all over the Song, Suzhou, Ning, and South China Seas, and smoke erupted around the Chu State.
The million-strong army of the five countries suddenly moved, and a decisive battle broke out around the southern expedition of the Chu State.
At this point, the war that swept Yangzhou officially kicked off.
