"Yes, this war has been fought for so long, and it's time to see the difference. Ba Yan looked into the distance and nodded slowly.

On the Xuanyuan Continent, the war between countries was fought later, and what really competed was the high-end power of the country. The high-end strength of the Chu Empire and the grassland barbarian countries was equal, but after Qin Qing killed Bai Yu and captured Xiang Jun, the balance of power between the two sides had tilted. The few people led by Qin Qing, if they had the Tongtian Pill in their hands, the high-end forces of the entire Chu Empire would have steadily suppressed the grassland barbarians.

At this time, what Qin Qing was thinking about was no longer this war, but the farther future. The first floor of the Absolute Heaven Tower, the second layer of the Xuanyuan Continent.

"Let's go!" Qin Qing waved his hand and led everyone on the road home.

The place where the Chuba army is stationed.

Emperor Chuba, dressed in military uniform, was sitting in the dragon tent. Inside the tent, the civil and military officials of the Chuba Empire stood on both sides, and the commanders of the reinforcements who came from all over were also sitting in the tent. At this time, everyone's faces were dusty and slightly tired.

"Your Majesty, in the past two months, our Chu Ba Army and the Grassland Army have fought each other, and there have been a total of eighteen battles between large and small. In total, we still have a slight advantage. Prime Minister Chu Ba said below.

Emperor Chuba's eyes were slightly chinned, he nodded, and said: "This is a war of attrition, there is no big difference between a slight victory and a slight defeat." What we want is still in the decisive battle. The first battle is the winner. ”

"Your Majesty, the crown prince leads our army of 280,000 elites, and the army is ready to go to war at any time!" said a veteran.

"Your Majesty, please fight, go into battle with His Royal Highness the Prince!"

"Minister, please fight!"

A group of generals stood up all of a sudden, all of them asking Emperor Chu Ba to fight, and wanted to follow Prince Qianfeng to fight.

As everyone knows, this battle can be said to be a battle that will determine the future of the Chuba Empire. Overcome. The Chu Empire can completely destroy the grassland barbarians. Then he was easily promoted to a second-class empire and became a real power on the Xuanyuan Continent, and these people could also go down in history.

But by the same token, if the battle is lost. The Chuba Empire will also die with it. The important ministers of Chu who are present will become the ministers of the fallen country. Rather than live in humiliation. It's better to die.

Emperor Chu Ba pondered for a moment, opened his eyes, and swept towards one of the people in the big tent. He asked lightly, "Did Qin Qing and the others come back?"

With the gaze of Emperor Chu Ba, many eyes in the big tent also looked at a corner of the big tent. There, there was an old man, the old man was not wearing an official uniform, nor was he a general of the imperial court, but he was wearing ordinary clothes, his beard and hair were white, but he was heroic.

It was Qin Yixiong. After the siege of Tianhe Mansion was contacted, Qin Yixiong, on behalf of the Tianhe Mansion Cultivation Alliance, was invited to the Chu Ba army. When the country is in trouble, the husband is responsible, and when the country is in trouble, all the provinces have discharged reinforcements, but Tianhe Mansion and the three surrounding provinces encountered a major war not long ago, and their vitality was greatly damaged, and they could not discharge a large number of reinforcements, so Qin Yixiong came on behalf of the cultivation alliance of the entire Tianhe Mansion.

"Your Majesty!" Qin Yixiong slowly stood up, hugged his fists at Emperor Chu Ba and said, "Qing'er has no news for the time being. However, with the strength of Qing'er and his group of men, we don't have to worry. In addition, Tianhe Mansion and the surrounding three prefectures are currently rearming for war, and as long as there is another month, they will be able to send an army composed of cultivators. I suggest that we wait until then. ”

"What Old Man Qin said is good, Your Majesty, you might as well wait another month. The prime minister suggested.

Emperor Chu Ba pondered for a moment, but he laughed and shook his head: "I can't wait any longer! I have already been rewarded, and there seem to be signs of a large army gathering on the border of the Tianyun Country of the First Rank Empire." ”

"Tianyun Country!" Hearing these three words, the faces of everyone present changed slightly, and they seemed to be extremely jealous.

"Well, you all know that the lord of the Cloud Country that day has a great relationship with the grassland barbarians. This time, they gathered troops on the border, naturally they would not have come to help our Chuba Empire. If we delay any longer, I am afraid that when the time comes, we will face more than just a steppe barbarian. ”

Tianyun Country is a first-class empire, and there are masters of the Tongxuan realm in the country, and there are many masters in the realm of human kings. In addition, the standing army has 8 million people, and once mobilized, the available troops will be no less than 20 million, which is one of the three first-class empires in the Xuanyuan Continent. It is said that the ancestor of Tianyun Country has a deep relationship with the Golden Sword Khan King of the steppe barbarian country thousands of years ago.

"Your Majesty, when Qin Qing was leaving, he left the relationship of the Golden Light Empire to us. Can we ask the Golden Light Empire to come forward and reconcile it?" the prime minister asked.

Emperor Chuba smiled slightly, shook his head and said, "The reason why the Yun Kingdom has only reorganized its army until now that day is already for the sake of the Golden Light Empire. After all, the Sinar Mas Empire was founded on business, and on the mainland, it has always remained neutral. It is impossible to clearly favor one country, let alone offend a first-class empire for the sake of a third-class empire. ”

Speaking of this, the atmosphere in the big tent suddenly became a little solemn again. If the Tianyun Kingdom really sent troops, with the strength of the Chu Empire, it would be impossible to resist, and there would be more masters in one province than the entire country of the Chu Empire.

Even if the Tianyun Kingdom holds its own identity and does not directly send troops, but under the Tianyun Kingdom, there are still seven or eight second-class empires. One of them, the second-class empire called Rizhao State, borders the Chuba Empire, and there is only a large river between the two countries. Just the Rizhao State sent troops, and the situation of the Chu Empire would immediately fall into passivity.

The strength of Rizhao State, even in the heyday of the Chuba Empire, was only half of that of the other party. What's more, at this time, one-third of the country's land has fallen, and the whole country is engaged in a big war with the steppe barbarians!

Emperor Chuba suddenly stood up and waved his hand heavily. Lang said: "Therefore, the only thing we can do at this time is to completely defeat the steppe barbarians in the shortest possible time, so that those countries that want to intervene will not have time to send troops at all, and the war will be over!"

"Yes!" the generals replied.

The four generals listened to the order and led the army with the prince to the camp of the steppe barbarians. This battle. I'm here. Sitting in the Chinese army, if something happens, I will live and die with the army!"

"Yes!"

There was a sound of armor, and the generals rushed out. Among the tents. Only Emperor Chu Ba and a few confidants remained. and Qin Yixiong.

"Brother Qin. When everyone is gone, you don't have to be limited by the number of courtesies, come up and sit. Emperor Chu Ba pointed to the seat closest to him. smiled at Qin Yixiong.

Qin Yixiong was also not polite, nodded, and walked up to sit down.

"Your Majesty seems to have something on his mind, could it be that he is worried about the crown prince?" Qin Yixiong's gaze crossed the face of Emperor Chu Ba, and he suddenly spoke.

Emperor Chu Ba let out a long sigh, and the heroic aura in his whole body disappeared a lot at once. At this time, Emperor Chuba is not like the king of a country, but more like an ordinary old man, if you pay attention to it, you can also find that his sideburns and eyebrows are a little pale.

Emperor Chuba nodded, and said lightly: "Yes, you and I are both parents, and the younger generations are fighting to the death, if you say that there is no worry, it is impossible, but you and I are both in power, and on weekdays, we can only bury this worry in our hearts." ”

Qin Yixiong also nodded slightly, empathized, and said: "If the jade is not cut, it will not be made, we hope that the children and grandchildren will become instruments, but we are afraid that the children and grandchildren will be worn off. He suddenly raised his head and said strangely: "It's just Your Majesty, there are many generals in the empire, why do you have to lead the army to the prince?"

Emperor Chuba nodded slightly: "Yes, you can see it clearly, brother." In this war, the empire has an eighty percent chance of winning. After the war, Qianfeng was young, and his strength was not enough to serve the public, if I gave way to him, I was afraid that he would not be able to suppress this group of arrogant soldiers, so I let him lead the army to the battle, first, to establish a love for the battlefield with the soldiers, and secondly, to give him a great military merit, paving the way for the future. ”

Qin Yixiong was slightly stunned: "Your Majesty, you have long been the peak master of the human king, and your lifespan can reach three hundred years, and now your age can be described as the peak of the Spring and Autumn Period, why do you suddenly have the intention of retiring?"

"This is also thanks to your grandson Qin Qing. Emperor Chuba smiled: "Last time he gave me a few demon pills, after taking it, my realm is faintly about to break through the Xuan." At that time, the imperial hegemony, as far as I am concerned, is no longer a help in cultivation, but a drag on the contrary. ”

The cultivators on the Xuanyuan Continent, once they entered the Tongxuan Realm, were in a completely different state, and their lifespan could be as long as a thousand years. At this time, most people would focus on concentrating on cultivation, so even if they were the monarchs of a first-class empire, there were very few masters of the Xuan. Most monarchs, once they enter this realm, will pass on the throne to future generations and cultivate carefully by themselves.

The monarchs of the three first-class empires are all masters of the human king, but behind the first-class empire, there are many big cultivation sects and reclusive Tongxuan masters, which is where the real foundation and strength of the first-class empire lies.

"Hehe, congratulations to Your Majesty!" Qin Yixiong was also a little happy when he heard this. It is no wonder that Emperor Chu Ba felt that he was sure to win this war, it turned out to be this reason. As long as he truly breaks through the Tongxuan realm, even if the army outside is defeated, the Chu Ba Empire may not be destroyed.

A master of Xuanyuan, above the first layer of the Xuanyuan Continent, is definitely a top figure, and it is not difficult to stand up a third-class empire. The reason why Emperor Chuba still has to fight this battle is to a large extent, it is already to pave the way for his crown prince.

Qin Yixiong is also a parent, and he knows the meaning, so he can only say that he pities the hearts of parents in the world.

"Your grandson, I don't think it's a thing in the pool, sooner or later he will have to leave the first layer of the continent, maybe I will still be friends with him at that time. This Tianhe Mansion Alliance is the Dao system he left behind. Emperor Chu Ba said with a smile. (To be continued......)
