October 28th.

It has been a full twenty days since the capture of Dayu City.

At this time, the capital of the Great Zhou Dynasty has long lost the prosperity and noise of the past, the streets are deserted, and occasionally a few pedestrians are also in a hurry, and their faces are extremely solemn.

The cold autumn wind blows, and countless fallen leaves flutter with the wind, which is even more gloomy.

Zhao Wu changed into civilian clothes and came to the north gate of the capital.

"Stop!"

Several soldiers stopped him, "Take out your nameplate, we're going to check your identity." ”

"I am Zhao Wu, the commander of the Zhennan Army, and I have important military information to meet the emperor."

As Zhao Wu spoke, he took out his waist card and handed it out.

"Oh?"

Several soldiers didn't dare to slack off, took the waist card and looked at it, and hurriedly saluted, "It turned out to be Lord Zhao, disrespectful and disrespectful!" ”

Taking the waist card back, Zhao Wu stopped talking and left quickly.

He is a child of a family in the capital, and he is very familiar with this place.

When you enter the city gates, you will reach the outer city.

Then the inner city, and finally the imperial city.

The Royal Palace is located in the most central part of the Imperial City.

Zhao Wu came to the north gate of the palace at the fastest speed, the Shenwu Gate.

Without waiting for the guards to ask, he took out his waist card and handed it over, "I am Zhao Wu, the commander of the Zhennan Army, and I came to meet the saint." ”

"It turned out to be Lord Zhao."

Several guards took the waist card, looked at it carefully, and then handed it back to Zhao Wu, "You wait a minute, I'll go in and report it." ”

After saying that, one of the guards ran away.

After a while, Gao Wancheng strode over, recognized Zhao Wu from a distance, and arched his hand, "Lord Zhao, don't come unharmed." ”

"Tall, sir!"

Zhao Wu cupped his fists and saluted back, "Take me to see the emperor quickly." ”

"Please."

Gao Wancheng took Zhao Wu into the palace.

On the way, Gao Wancheng asked, "How is the battle situation in Zhennan Pass?" ”

"Please forgive me."

Zhao Wuluo was a little apologetic, clasped his fists and said: "Before leaving, the commander specially instructed me that the battle situation in Zhennan Pass can only be reported to the emperor in person. ”

"It should."

Gao Wancheng didn't ask any more.

The two came to the Heart Cultivation Palace, and Xiao Guizi greeted him, "Commander Gao, do you want to see the emperor?" ”

"Grandpa Gui, please report it quickly."

Gao Wancheng nodded at Xiao Guizi, "Let's just say that Zhao Fei, the capital of Zhennan Guan, has important military information and asks to see the emperor." ”

"Okay, you two, wait a minute."

As soon as Xiao Guizi heard that someone from Zhennanguan was coming, he knew that the matter was urgent and left in a hurry.

After a while, he came back again, shouting from afar, "Two lords, the emperor is invited." ”

"Please, Lord Zhao."

"Please."

Gao Wancheng and Zhao Wu walked side by side and quickly entered the Heart Cultivation Palace.

There was only Li Tianrun in the main hall.

His brow furrowed, and he was looking down in contemplation.

Hearing the footsteps, he raised his head, looked at the two of them, and nodded slightly, "Zhao Dutong, just say anything directly." ”

"Your Majesty, good news."

Zhao Wu bowed down and handed over the battle report.

"Huh?"

Li Tianrun's heart jumped, and he shouted: "Submit it." ”

"Yes."

Gao Wancheng took the battle report, came to Li Tianrun, and delivered it to him.

"Your Majesty, please take a look."

Li Tianrun took the battle report and unfolded it to look at it carefully.

After only a few glances, his frowning brow relaxed, and there was a little more smile on his face.

"Good!"

Li Tianrun got up suddenly and said loudly: "Great! ”

After reading the battle report several times, he was convinced that he was not wrong.

Dayu City has been taken!

Moreover, Lu Fan had already led the army commander to drive straight into the capital of Chu State.

The situation in the south is very good.

"Okay, you Lu Fan, I really didn't see the wrong person!"

Li Tianrun couldn't hide the excitement in his heart, and praised loudly: "You have made great achievements for the Great Zhou, and I will treat you well!" ”

As he spoke, he handed the battle report in his hand to Gao Wancheng, "Commander Gao, you can also take a look." ”

"Yes."

Gao Wancheng respectfully took the battle report, started from the beginning, and read it carefully.

Before he could finish reading it, he exclaimed, "Dayu City has actually been taken?" This Lu Fan is really amazing! ”

"I'm fortunate to have such a talent in Da Zhou."

Li Tianrun continued: "When Lu Fan sweeps the state of Chu and then returns to the capital, we will be able to defeat the Qin-Qi coalition army and lift the siege of the capital." ”

"That's right."

Gao Wancheng nodded, "Then wave your troops north, reverse the entire battle situation, and completely save the situation." ”

"I'm afraid it's not enough."

After calming down, Li Tianrun thought about it carefully, "Although Lu Fan's strength is strong now, it is still a little worse. After all, the state of Chu has a profound heritage, and the masters are like clouds. If Lu Fan wants to sweep away the Chu State, he must become stronger. ”

"In this way, you go to Zhennan Pass, catch up with Lu Fan as fast as possible, and give this to him."

As he spoke, Li Tianrun took out a book of exercises and handed it to Gao Wancheng, "I have already prepared this book for him, and now is the right time." ”

"Yes."

Gao Wancheng agreed and put away the exercises.

"Wait a minute, I have another reward for Lu Fan."

Li Tianrun came to the desk and sat down, and shouted: "Come on, Yanmo, I will personally give an order to Lu Fan." ”

Xiao Guizi hurriedly ran in and studied ink for Li Tianrun.

Li Tianrun picked up the pen and began to write the holy decree.

After writing, he dried the ink, took out the jade seal, and stamped the big seal himself.

"Commander Gao, you go and return quickly."

Li Tianrun instructed: "You must be careful on the road. ”

"Yes, please rest assured, the emperor will not fail in his mission."

Gao Wancheng put away the holy decree and bowed down.

"Little Guizi."

Li Tianrun instructed: "You go and call Lin Xiang, just say that I have something important to discuss with him." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Little Guizi ran away.

"Zhao Dutong, you have worked the road, sit down and rest for a while."

Li Tianrun waved his hand, "I'll have something to ask you later." ”

"Wechen doesn't dare."

Zhao Wu looked terrified.

"Let you sit, and you sit."

Li Tianrun sighed: "With the current situation, it is not easy for you to send this war report. When Lord Lin comes, you will tell us in detail about the situation in Zhennanguan. ”

"Yes."

Zhao Wu sat down at this time.

After a long time.

Hurried footsteps sounded, and Lin Fuzhou, the prime minister of the Great Zhou, walked quickly to the main hall.

"Your Majesty, you are looking for me."

"Let me introduce you, this is Zhao Wu, the commander of the Zhennan Army."

Li Tianrun nodded, "He brought the military intelligence of Zhennan Pass." ”

"I've seen Lin Xiang."

Zhao Wu hurriedly got up and saluted.

"It turned out to be Lord Zhao, long admiration, long admiration."

The two exchanged a few words and sat down.

"Zhao Dutong, you can tell me about the situation in Zhennanguan in detail."

Li Tianrun commanded: "Including the situation in the entire south, as long as you know, say it." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Zhao Wu opened the chatterbox, started from the beginning, and talked about the big battles in detail.

When he said that Shu and Yue promised to cede land and pay compensation, Li Tianrun and Lin Fuzhou glanced at each other, and could not hide the surprise in their hearts.

Since the siege of the Qin and Qi countries, the connection between the capital and the south has been severed.

Li Tianrun and Lin Fuzhou didn't know what was going on in Zhennanguan at all, so they could only rely on guessing.

Unexpectedly, the current situation in the south is even better than they guessed.

"yes, that's great!"

Lin Fuzhou couldn't hold back and exclaimed.

But after thinking about it, he had doubts in his heart again, "Your Majesty, what if you say that the two countries of Shu and Yue are surrendering by fraud?" ”

"It's okay!"

Li Tianrun said with a smile: "When Lu Fan hits the capital of Chu State, even if the two countries of Shu and Yue surrender by fraud, it will become true." ”

"Hit the capital of Chu?"

Lin Fuzhou was stunned and quite puzzled, "With the strength of the three border armies in the south, how can it be possible to attack the Chu State?" ”

"See for yourself."

Li Tianrun handed the battle report to Lin Fuzhou.

"Yes."

Lin Fuzhou took it and looked at it, and was immediately overjoyed, "You actually won Dayu City?" What a miracle! ”

"A miracle indeed."

Li Tianrun agreed, "But with Lu Fan here, there is nothing impossible." ”

"Your Majesty, Lu Fan is really your lucky general."

Lin Fuzhou praised: "I have never seen a young man as outstanding as him. ”

"What about a lucky general?"

Li Tianrun exclaimed: "Lu Fan is the invincible god of war of my Great Zhou!" ”

"That's right."

Lin Fuzhou nodded again and again, and from the words just now, he heard the emperor's importance to Lu Fan.

Today, in the emperor's heart, I am afraid that no one can compare with Lu Fan.

Including him.

Thinking of this, Lin Fuzhou felt a trace of urgency in his heart.

It seems that we have to find a way to make friends with Lu Fan in the future.

Otherwise, his phase may not be able to do a stable job.

"Zhao Dutong, you go on."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Zhao Wu went on to say, from the extermination of the Bloody Clothes Gang to the three border armies combined with 120,000 troops to defeat Chu, they all spoke in detail.

After listening, Li Tianrun and Lin Fuzhou both breathed a sigh of relief.

It's not easy.

In an extremely difficult situation, Lu Fan relied on strategy and strength to recover the disadvantage little by little.

So far, it has completely taken the advantage.

Li Tianrun was extremely fortunate at this time that he had made the wisest decision.

Whether it is the selection of Long Yingwei or the big competition, they have all created today's Lu Fan step by step.

It has also created a large number of powerful Dragon Shadow Guards.

But these people were extremely loyal to him.

Like Yan Qing, Ye Wuchen, Zhu Jingtian, Mu Yan, and so on.

No matter who comes out, you can take charge of it alone.

And none of them are yet twenty years old.

If you give them a few more years to grow, will it be worth it?

This battle just gave them the opportunity to experience and grow faster.

In this respect, the current war is not entirely bad.

As long as the Great Zhou can stand up, it will surely sweep through all countries in the future, and there will be no opponents!

"Zhao Dutong, you just go home and rest for a few days."

Li Tianrun waved his hand, "In a few days, I will have a will for you." Okay, there you go. ”

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Zhao Wu bowed and retreated.

"Lin Xiang, in my opinion, it is better to announce this battle report to the world, so that everyone knows that my Great Zhou army has broken through Dayu City, and it will be in the capital of Chu State in a few days."

Li Tianrun turned his gaze to Lin Fuzhou and said, "Moreover, the two countries of Shu and Yue have asked us for peace, and together with our attack on Chu, we must also let the people of the world know." ”

"It's a good time to boost our morale and use it to fight the enemy."

"We need a big win like this right now to be exciting."

Speaking of this, Li Tianrun asked, "What do you think?" ”

"Good is good."

Lin Fuzhou thought for a while and said, "But there is one thing, what if Qin and Qi know that Zhennan Pass is empty, and directly wave their troops south to attack Zhennan Pass?" ”

"Let them go!"

Li Tianrun seemed to have a plan in mind, "If they dare to leave, we will send troops to pursue them behind, and send people to harass them along the way." ”

"When they are tired, attack again and you will be able to defeat them."

"Maybe we can take advantage of the opportunity to crush the enemy."

"We're just holding back now, waiting for an opportunity, and it's not like we're helpless."

"If they give us this opportunity, we will definitely seize it."

Speaking of this, Li Tianrun snorted coldly: "In my Great Zhou Land, how can they come when they want to and leave if they want?" ”

"Your Majesty is still wise and far-sighted."

Lin Fuzhou praised it, and then said: "As long as you are in charge of the capital, Da Zhou will definitely be worry-free." ”

"Alright."

Li Tianrun waved his hand and said, "Just do what I just said, do it." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Lin Fuzhou picked up the battle report and bowed to retire.

……

……

The news of the joint Great Zhou invasion of Chu by Shu and Yue, as well as the battle report that Lu Fan led the army to break through Dayu City, quickly spread throughout the capital of the Great Zhou Dynasty under the impetus of well-intentioned people, and continued to spread outward.

It immediately caused a sensation in the government and the opposition, and shocked the whole world.

The capital of the Great Zhou Dynasty became lively again.

Wherever there are people, they are talking about the war situation in the south, and Lu Fan's name is mentioned repeatedly.

"Have you heard? The Zhennan army began to counterattack the state of Chu. ”

"Of course, how can such a big thing be hidden from me?"

"It's Lu Fan again, who personally led the army to break through Dayu City and killed countless enemies."

"Yes, it is said that the commanders of the Chu army were personally killed by him."

"That's amazing!"

"I just don't know when Lu Fan will lead troops to rescue the capital?"

"It should be soon, right?"

"I wish he had come sooner."

Not only ordinary people, but even those children of the family are also talking about this matter, and their words are full of admiration and respect for Lu Fan.

Liufu.

It's much more lively than ever.

Especially in the small courtyard where Liu Zhi lives, there are laughter and laughter from time to time.

As soon as I entered the living room, a room full of people was sitting.

They were all young people in their twenties.

Liu Zhi, Wu Lingzhao, Gu Chen, Liu Xiaoyue, He Zifeng, etc., there are more than 30 people here, all of whom are children of major families in the capital.

"You should have all heard the news that Lu Fan led his army to attack the Chu State."

Liu Zhi looked around at everyone and said, "I believe that it won't be long before Lu Fan will lead the army back to the capital to help, and then we will have to do our best." ”

"Okay."

"No problem."

"I've wanted to do something for Da Zhou for a long time."

"Moreover, having the opportunity to fight side by side with Lu Fan is something I have never dreamed of."

"I also want to be praised by the world like Lu Fan."

Everyone nodded in agreement.

"That's good."

Liu Zhi was very satisfied with everyone's attitude, "Since you all agree, find more people after you go back, the more the better, but there is one point, you must be strong, and you should not be too poor." ”

"Understood."

Everyone happily agreed.

"That's right, Liu Zhi."

Gu Chen was a little curious, "Do you know what strength Lu Fan has now?" ”

"My sixth sister went to the barracks to find Lu Fan some time ago."

Liu Zhi looked slightly meaningful, "According to my sixth sister, Lu Fan is very likely to have reached the innate five realms of cultivation. ”

"Huh?"

"What?"

"Innate Five Realms?"

"How is that possible?"

Everyone was shocked and stunned.

They couldn't have imagined that the current Lu Fan had not only advanced to the innate realm, but also reached the innate five realms.

You know, when Lu Fan was in the capital, he was just a first-class cultivator, right?

In just over a year, he has grown into the top powerhouse of Da Zhou.

This talent is beyond their reach.

Especially Gu Chen, he remembered what he had challenged Lu Fan in the first place, and his face was feverish.

It's too much to overwhelm.

"What's impossible?"

Liu Zhi pursed his lips, "When I first met Lu Fan, he just started to cultivate, and it seems that he hadn't entered the product at that time?" It's been less than three years now. ”

"Huh?"

"Less than three years?"

"It's outrageous."

The crowd was even more surprised.

They have all been cultivating since childhood, and they have been practicing until now, even if they have not been ten years, they have eight years.

But their strength is too far behind Lu Fan.

Talent can't be compared.

If Lu Fan had their family background and started cultivating since he was a child, wouldn't it be even more terrifying?

"You should also know that the strength of the Chu State is not weak."

Liu Zhi said: "If Lu Fan wasn't too strong, how could he lead the army to attack the Chu State?" If there is no Lu Fan, I am afraid that I will not even be able to defend Zhennan Pass. ”

"yes."

"It's amazing."

"I really didn't expect that it would be Lu Fan who turned the tide for my Great Zhou."

Everyone was amazed.

Gu Chen suddenly asked in a low voice, "Liu Zhi, when will your ancestor make a move?" ”

"I don't know."

Liu Zhi shook his head lightly, "But in my estimation, my ancestor will not make a move easily, after all, there is also a congenital Nine Realm powerhouse in the Wei Kingdom, if the other party does not make a move, my ancestor will not be able to make a move." ”

"The same goes for the other top powerhouses in our big week."

"Although there are many strong people in our Great Zhou, the other party is not weak."

"Taken together, several countries are much more powerful than our Da Zhou."

"Once these strong people are involved, we will suffer."

"Therefore, if the top powerhouses don't make a move, it's actually beneficial to us."

Speaking of this, Liu Zhi sighed lightly, "Fortunately, there is Lu Fan, he is different, after all, he grew up in the military camp, and no one can say anything if he leads the army to fight." ”

"At present, it is only up to Lu Fan to reverse the situation."

"As long as those top powerhouses don't participate in the war, Lu Fan is the strongest."

Liu Zhi smiled, "I haven't heard of any general who can reach Lu Fan's strength." ”

"But ......"

Gu Chen still had doubts, "Now that Lu Fan has attacked the Chu State, isn't the top powerhouse of the Chu State still not making a move?" I've heard that there is a man named Yun Xuan, who is a powerhouse of the Innate Eight Realms, if he makes a move, what will Lu Fan do? ”

"It's okay, I believe Lu Fan, he is very measured."

Liu Zhi was not worried, "What's more, he has countless elite soldiers and strong generals under him, even if Yun Xuan really makes a move, Lu Fan will have to retreat." ”

"With Lu Fan's strength and strong body, plus more than 100,000 elites, even if Yun Xuan wants to kill him, it won't be so easy."

"After all, Yun Xuan is a human, not a god."

"He will also consume spiritual power, and he will also get injured."

"Facing more than 100,000 Great Zhou elites alone, Yun Xuan also has to weigh it."

"Is there a need to take this risk?"

"I'm afraid that he won't be able to kill Lu Fan, and he will also suffer huge losses, affecting his cultivation and entering the realm."

"For people of his level, what they value most is their own cultivation."

Liu Zhi smiled: "They are actually more desperate than us. ”

"That's right."

"Then I'll be relieved."

"As long as Lu Fan is not in danger."

After a little thought, everyone understood.

Those top powerhouses pursued the Immortal Cultivation Question, and they would not easily get involved in such worldly things, and once they got involved, it might affect their Dao Hearts, and then affect their cultivation.

……

……

The northern border of the Great Zhou.

Ten miles outside the city of Fengyu is the military camp of the Wei State.

Inside the camp, coach Wei Lingtian was bowing his head and pondering.

"Your Excellency, Commander."

A young officer hurriedly walked into the camp tent, attached himself to Wei Lingtian's ear, and whispered a few words.

"What?"

"Dayu City lost?"

Wei Lingtian was stunned for a moment, and then he was furious, "The State of Chu is really a bunch of waste, not only can't even take a small Zhennan Pass, but also lose its own city?" ”

"My lord, it is said that Lu Fan led the army to break through Dayu City."

The young officer's face was worried, "If this person is not removed, he will be a threat to us sooner or later." ”

"If your subordinates are defeated, why worry about it? Hum! ”

Wei Lingtian snorted coldly and said, "When I break through Fengyu City and drive the long drive straight into the territory of the Great Zhou, then I will personally kill Lu Fan to relieve the hatred in my heart!" ”

"Yes."

The young officer nodded slightly, and then said: "My lord, I heard that both the two countries of Shu and Yue have sued for peace with the Great Zhou, and now they have jointly sent troops with the Great Zhou to jointly attack the Chu State. ”

"What?"

Wei Lingtian was shocked, "Impossible, absolutely impossible!" ”

"I don't think it's possible, either."

The young officer frowned, "But the news I received is all spread like this. ”

"It may be a delaying tactic, or it may be a trap for the Great Zhou army."

Wei Lingtian shook his head, "I never believe that the two countries of Shu and Yue will betray us. ”

"I hope so."

……

……

More than 100 miles north of the capital of Chu State, there is a small city called Huicheng.

Lu Fan is leading his army to garrison this small city.

As they gradually penetrated deeper into the territory of the Chu State, the resistance encountered by the Great Zhou army became stronger and stronger.

The pace of advancement has slowed down a lot.

It took nearly 20 days to come here for a temporary rest.

In the tent, Lu Fan was meditating and cultivating.

Whether it was the Dao Sutra or the Starry Sky Sword Technique, he did not delay his cultivation.

"My lord, I just received the news that the Yue State has sent troops to attack the Chu State."

Qin Yu came in and reported, "The Shu State also sent troops almost at the same time to launch an attack on the border of the Chu State. ”

"Humph!"

Lu Fan snorted coldly and said, "Sure enough, I have a ghost in my heart, so I have to wait until we break through Dayu City before we are willing to send troops." ”

"But anyway, as long as they send troops."

Qin Yu continued: "At least it can help us involve the Chu army, and at the same time, it can also consume their own strength." ”

"That's right."

Lu Fan nodded, "With the current situation, since the two countries of Shu and Yue have sent troops, it will not be a show, but a real fight, and our goal will be achieved." ”

"Let them consume each other."

"The harder they fight, the better it is for us."

"But this account will have to be calculated in the future."

Speaking of this, Lu Fan waved his hand, "Okay, you can go." ”

"Yes."

Qin Yu bowed and retired.

Lu Fan thought about it, and it was time for him.

Continue to advance towards the capital of Chu tomorrow!

But with his current strength, it is not enough to deal with all kinds of unexpected situations.

Especially Yun Xuan.

In case Yun Xuan made a move, it would be a big trouble.

It's time to upgrade.

Let's practice the Starry Sky Sword Technique to Dacheng first.

When the time comes, his strength will definitely improve a lot.

Don't worry about Yunxuan.
