Nanzhan Zhou, the turmoil in all directions, the order of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the bureaucrats from all directions all contributed, and the corrupt officials were also cut a lot, and the eyes and ears of all the Beijing officials were dispatched with all their might, in order to maintain the existing balance.

However, the news that the Great Zhou Empire was going to attack the Holy Sect still caused a huge shock, and many officials, including scholars who paid attention to current affairs in the world, also wrote to criticize the Demon Emperor for taking advantage of this crisis to attack the Holy Sect with all his might. Coupled with the infiltration of the Holy Sect's forces among the people, the words about the tyranny of the Demon Emperor spread far and wide.

It provoked the demon emperor to be angry in the palace in the middle of the night, but in the end, he experienced strong winds and waves, the demon emperor was not angry because of this, but pondered for a while, then went to bed and lay down with his eyes closed, falling into a leisurely state of not thinking about anything, and then sank into sleep, in the demon emperor's mind, he only had to take this road, otherwise, the Great Zhou Empire would be more dangerous, in this case, then he would rather bear the title of tyrant, even if the country finally sinks, then he is also the most solemn stroke in the history books of the Great Zhou Empire, as for the right and evil, he doesn't care, live a lifetime, and fulfill all the responsibilities, even if the choice of history is wrong, then he can't help it。 As for the world's reputation, what does it matter to him?

After more than a month, in the territory of the Great Zhou Empire in Nanzhan Zhou, half of the state pastors, all according to the plan to send troops to the land of the three states of the Holy Sect, in line with the strategic goal of capturing the thief and capturing the king first, the places around the Holy State are full of the elite of the Great Zhou Empire, this time it is all the elite soldiers of the Nanzhan Continent gathered, the scale is large, 300,000 iron horsemen, gathered in front of the Hangu Pass, this Hangu Pass is stationed in the pass of the Holy State, since ancient times it is easy to defend and difficult to attack, the Hangu Pass is built in the endless mountain range to the canyon of the Holy State, a pass built by the mountain, easy to defend and difficult to attack, for 800 years, the Hangu Pass has never been breached, this is also the place where the Holy Sect established a paradise in this Nanzhan Zhou, forming a natural protection.

In front of this Hangu Pass, 300,000 iron horsemen, covering the sky and the sun, under the vertical wall and clear the wilderness, the flat land that stretches endlessly, is full of army tents, in addition to the underground there are three or two miscellaneous weeds, in front of the Hangu Pass is a desolation, and there is no grass under the army, like loess.

At this moment, the secret battle has turned into an open battle, the army is ready, the generals of the Holy Sect in front of Hangu Pass are in full battle, on the city wall, the white armor is shining, the silver cherry spear is shining in the sun, and each sergeant is holding a shield. The sergeants in the city looked at the thousands of meters away from the city, looking at the endless tents, and their hearts were also frightened, but as an elite, the eyes of this group of soldiers still seemed extremely resolute, and the most important thing was that the great military exploits, fame and fortune were hidden in the hearts of this group of soldiers. is just unwilling to send to death, but the inspection team behind will not let themselves become deserters, and it is expected to tremble, it is better to fight for a bright future. The duty of the military is to take charge of each other and to protect its own forces from infringement. Behind Hangu Pass, there are also their wives and children's parents.

As for the soldiers outside Hangu Pass, they attacked and killed all the way, and the Holy Sect forces along the way were also wiped out like a mantis arm under the torrent of 300,000 elites, and at the same time, this military exploit also inspired many people, many soldiers of the Great Zhou Empire were rewarded for their meritorious service in killing the enemy, and those who were promoted abounded. This also greatly boosted the morale of the 300,000 army, and many people wanted to make meritorious contributions to kill the enemy, but the 300,000 army, the commanders of the various state pastors, stopped here.

The reason for stopping is very simple, Hangu Pass is notoriously easy to defend and difficult to attack, and at the same time, the crossbow arrows all over the Hangu Pass also make the commanders frightened, the longbow crossbow of tens of meters, one arrow can kill several people, although taking the life pile may also be able to win, but no one is stupid enough to really take the life pile, when unable to find a solution, this group of weathered, treacherous and cunning commanders are naturally silent, just send people to scold and disturb the minds of the people in the city in front of Hangu Pass every day.

Naturally, this news also spread to the Kyoto of the Great Zhou Empire, and the hundreds of officials in the city sent their ears and eyes one after another, constantly inquiring about the information of all parties day and night, especially the high-powered officials, who constantly sought a lot of back roads for themselves, in order to ensure that their families could survive in the troubled times in the future, survival is the first, and as for the rest, they are naturally ranked behind survival.

In the deep palace, the demon emperor went to the harem for the first time to find his favorite concubine Wen Cun, after some warmth, Concubine Chen's dignified face got up to dress up, and washed the demon emperor, delicate face, and said uprightly: "Now the world is in chaos, Your Majesty still attaches importance to state affairs." The harem is still less beautiful. ”

The Demon Emperor showed impatience on his face, "Every day for state affairs, come here, I naturally want to escape, you mention to me again, you don't know how much I want to start the spring night, and the king will not be early from now on." ”

Concubine Chen smiled: "That's what a faint monarch can do, don't do things, indulge in the love of children, it's not Mingjun's doing." ”

"Mingjun is too tired, he does too much, he makes many mistakes, and he receives a lot of criticism. It's better for you to be here, pure. ”

Concubine Chen restrained her smile, "Then Your Majesty will not come here in the future." ”

"Why?"

"I'm afraid that people will say that I am a bad person. Concubine Chen smiled.

"Haha, how can state affairs be pushed on you woman, if there is, it is also that group of ministers are incompetent and unfavorable to govern the country, although Da Zhou is my own Da Zhou, but that group of ministers also have the responsibility of governing the country. The Demon Emperor put on a nonchaltical look.

Concubine Chen was still smiling, but she didn't say anything more. "Your Majesty, you have a good rest first, and you have to go to court early tomorrow. I'll go to the side hall first. ”

The Demon Emperor was dumbfounded, then nodded. Concubine Chen also saw this, and also swayed away,

The Demon Emperor who was left alone on the bed was a little helpless, although everything was as usual, he always felt that something seemed to be wrong. But everything seems to be taken for granted. There's nothing wrong with that.

For the problems that he couldn't feel, the Demon Emperor naturally chose to ignore them, and then he kept meditating on the future strategic issues in his mind, and at the same time, the Shadow Sword hidden in the Imperial Tomb, the Demon Emperor also wanted to use it. Since the news of the stalemate in front of Hangu Pass reached his ears, he thought about using the Shadow Sword, but in Hangu Pass, there are also hundreds of thousands of lives, this sword down, although it can defeat the enemy, but after the Shadow Sword is used, the Hangu Pass is uninhabitable for three hundred years within a radius of 100 miles, and it will inevitably become a wasteland.
