The sudden outbreak of events shocked the entire empire, and in the face of the frenzied attack of the Tongyu Kingdom, the Sixth Legion struggled to hold on. Not only that, but the other major kingdoms under the jurisdiction of Xuanyuan Tianzong were also ready to move, forcing the other major legions not to move.

At this time, the high-ranking people of the empire realized that the so-called Yuanshi vein was simply fake, and it was a bait for others to attack the Sixth Legion.

In the imperial palace of the imperial capital, the atmosphere was so depressing that it was suffocating, the emperor waved his hand violently, slapped it on the table, and said in a deep voice: "Xuanyuan Tianzong, such a deep plan, even the loss of Jin Jiancheng has been calculated!"

The marshal below turned as black as the bottom of a pot, and said: "Three hundred chariots and crossbows, if there is no Jiang Xingchen, the Sixth Legion will definitely be disabled, I thought that this was their hole card, but I didn't expect them to have a backhand!"

Feng Xuanzhang said: "It is normal for the Yuan Stone to be shattered and the Yuan Qi to be released, but how did they make the Yuan Stone burst out with such a big energy and destroy all the surrounding camps in one fell swoop?"

This question sent chills to everyone's hearts, and the palace once again fell into an oppressive silence.

After a long time, Yuan Xixuan spoke: "Now is not the time to study this, how to deal with the attack of the Tongyu Kingdom is the most important thing, once the Sixth Legion is lost, the rear can be the thousands of miles of fertile land led by Qi Yue, the kind of terrain that is flat and flat, Xuanyuan Tianzong's chariot machine crossbow will be invincible!"

The marshal took a deep breath and said helplessly: "Now that several major kingdoms are frequently deploying troops, the other major legions will not be able to draw troops to rescue, otherwise the defense system will be broken...... Now the only way. It's to mobilize the city guards of the major territories!"

"Lord Marshal!" Yuan Xixuan shook his head slightly and said, "You should know what kind of combat power the local city guards are. Fighting with the Tongyu Kingdom is basically acting as cannon fodder, and it doesn't play a big role...... Besides, how long will it take to mobilize the city guards from all over the country to reach the Sixth Legion?"

The marshal's mouth was a little bitter, how could he not know about the situation that Yuan Xixuan said. But now. Originally, the military headquarters had already planned to create the Eighth Army Corps as a mobile reinforcement, and a resolution was also passed in the DPRK and China. There was no objection. But who would have thought that Xuanyuan Tianzong didn't leave him at this time!

"Gather 10,000 Praetorian Guards!" the Emperor said suddenly.

"What?" everyone turned their heads to look at the Emperor in surprise, the Praetorian Guard was the guard of the imperial capital, the ace army that specialized in guarding the royal family. That's 30,000 people in all. How can you transfer casually.

"No!" the marshal immediately shook his head: "The Praetorian Guard can't move, in case of an accident......"

"Needless to say!" The Emperor waved his hand suddenly, interrupting the marshal: "Just do as I say, and immediately mobilize 10,000 Praetorian Guards!"

"Emperor, the other party has chariots and crossbows, the Praetorian Guards are all selected by thousands of people, once the number of troops is reduced, the loss is too great!" Feng Xuanzhang also persuaded.

"Raising soldiers for a thousand days is a while, and the Praetorian Guard is the trump card. It's used to fight, otherwise you won't be able to stay in the emperor for the rest of your life...... Again. Let's defend, and we don't need field battles, the opponent's chariot machine crossbow won't be of much use!"

Feng Xuanzhang wanted to say more, but he was glared at by the emperor and directly blocked his words.

"Emperor!" Yuan Xixuan bowed slightly, and said: "Now there is another problem, Wei Ning is seriously injured and unconscious, his position is still vacant, although there is now a deputy corps commander in charge of the Sixth Legion, but there is no main general, after all, the army's heart is unstable!"

"The military department has already made a decision on the candidate for the temporary commander of the legion, so I won't be able to ask the aristocratic management department!" the marshal sneered.

"Marshal, we are now discussing in the same hall, and we are talking about issues related to the survival of the empire, and all ministers have the right to speak...... Besides, the commander's acceptance of the army is not the final say of the military department, and every minister can raise objections to the heavy troops of one side, which is responsible for the empire, the royal family, and the emperor!"

Yuan Xixuan's words, the marshal was speechless, what they said was right, the commander of the corps accepted his fate, and the military department only had the right to nominate him, and the real resignation was to be discussed by the ministers and the emperor to make a decision.

"The candidate proposed by the marshal is Xie Tingjun, Marquis of Dingbei, does the aristocratic management department have any objections?" the emperor asked at this time.

"Uh!" Yuan Xixuan was stunned, he didn't expect that the candidate given by the marshal turned out to be the Marquis of Dingbei, he thought it was a counselor of the military department waiting for the position, or a figure from a certain family, he really didn't expect that it would be the Marquis of Dingbei.

According to the laws of the empire, the great lord is absolutely not allowed to serve as the commander of the legion, not even the military department. If this person is really needed to lead the army, then there is only one possibility, to get rid of the lord and recover the territory.

Therefore, almost no big lord is willing to be the commander of the legion, although these people are all fought hard and have a martial spirit in their blood, but the territory is related to the rise and fall of the family, and no one wants to lose it.

Therefore, when the emperor said that the Marquis of Dingbei was in charge of the Sixth Legion, Yuan Xixuan did not react for a while.

"This ...... The Marquis of Dingbei bravely crowned the three armies back then, and he had countless achievements, I have no objection!" After a deep groan, Yuan Xixuan said, the emperor threw out the Marquis of Dingbei, and his idea of competing for the commander of the sixth army must be in vain. Every big lord above the marquis, even if it is a hereditary inheritance, is piled up with his life and military exploits, and he thinks that the characters of Lu are really not comparable to the Marquis of Dingbei.

But as soon as he thought about it, he immediately smiled again and asked, "Emperor, in this way, the territory of the Marquis of Dingbei can be ......."

"The affairs of the territory will be managed by the empire for the time being, and the rest will be talked about when this war subsides!" The emperor interrupted Yuan Xixuan, stood up and ordered: "Marshal, prepare supplies immediately, and 10,000 Praetorian Guards will immediately leave for the Sixth Legion!"

With that, the emperor turned around and left the main hall through the side door.

The marshal left in a hurry to prepare supplies, and Feng Xuanzhang, the Chancellor of the Exchequer and others also retreated. Yuan Xixuan and several ministers around him were left in the main hall.

"Lord Director, what ......do you see?" one of them walked up to Yuan Xixuan and asked in a low voice.

"Hehe, don't say anything, everything will be said after the war between the Sixth Legion and the Tongyu Kingdom is over!" Yuan Xixuan shook his head with a smile and walked out of the hall with his hands behind his back.

At the same time, far away in the Xingchen Domain, Jiang Xingchen also received the news of the shocking change in the Sixth Legion, and he was stunned for several minutes. He didn't expect that the metastone vein turned out to be fake.

How many yuan stones do it cost to make a fake ore vein, Xuanyuan Tianzong is really willing to do it, much more than his own handwriting!

But then, he fell into deep thought, the Yuan Stone Shatter would actually explode, and the energy released destroyed a large area of the camp, which was completely beyond his expectations.

According to his own understanding, the Yuan Stone will leak the Yuan Qi when it is broken, and then it will drift away! Therefore, the martial artist should be careful in absorbing the Yuan Qi, and the same is true for him to develop a formation to absorb the Yuan Qi.

But judging from this incident, the use of Yuan Shi is not so simple, and there are other ways to make Yuan Qi release more energy.

Jiang Xingchen seemed to have suddenly opened a skylight, and the use of Yuan Shi and Yuan Qi was definitely more complex and diverse than he knew! He even thought that the most difficult problem that he had been unable to solve, the entire territory relying on his Yuan Qi, could be solved by studying Yuan Shi!

With this thought in his heart, Jiang Xingchen's whole person fell silent.

And at this time, in the Dingbei Hou Mansion of Hongyuan City, a letter bird rose into the air and went straight to the stars to lead it......!
