Chapter 322: Turning the Tide on Your Own

Counting on the fingers, Daqi has been established for fifty-four years, nearly a Jiazi time, and Wei Guo changed its name to Wei, from the second year of Huanglong, it has been fifty-two years, in the past more than 50 years, although Wei is nominally a vassal state of Daqi, but in fact it is a small world of its own, civil and military officials, six departments and nine secretaries, and the king of Wei is no different from the emperor, I am afraid the only difference is the title, one is the king, one is the emperor, just one word.

At the beginning, Chen Gongyu said in the Dabao'en Temple that he had asked for a white crown for 60 years, but in the final analysis, adding white to the "king" was the "emperor".

After the battle of Dongting Lake, the three battalions of Jundao, Nanhu and Tieshan of the Jiangnan Naval Division all fell, all of which belonged to the hands of the Wei naval army.

Wanshiyuan once belonged to the palace of the Great Qi Emperor, although the surname has not been changed at this time, but has been replaced, when Xiao Jin arrived on Jundao, accompanied by a cadre of noble ministers of Wei, scattered all over Jundao, quietly waiting for the summons of His Royal Highness the King of Wei, which is also divided into superior and inferior, the person who is respected can get closer and closer to the palace of the King of Wei, such as Shangguan Tan and other generals who hold real power, and can even stay directly in the Wanshiyuan, with the meaning of the guard, to show closeness.

Today, Xiao Jin, the king of Wei, convened a group of ministers in his palace, and was privately called "sitting and discussing" by the civil and military forces of Wei, because everyone attending the meeting can set up a seat, except for Xiao Jin is still as high as the emperor of the Central Plains and sits in the north and south, the seats of others are not too obvious and inferior, which is very different from the court meeting of the Central Plains Great Qi court.

The scope of this court meeting was very small, and the people who could attend the meeting, in addition to the many noble and high-ranking officials of the Wei State, even included Xiao Lin and Meng Dongfei and other people from the Ghost King Palace, and the two sat on the left and right of Xiao Jin, as if they were one and the other.

With the end of the battle of Dongting Lake, Shangguan Tan became the first person in the martial arts of the Wei State, and there was only one Xiao Lin between the rank and Xiao Jin, but after he came to the palace today, he has been silent, and it is precisely because he is a person in military power that he understands more and more what the situation is on the frontal battlefield now, and he is more and more unsure of how to speak.

He subconsciously glanced at his brother who was sitting opposite him, Shangguan Yun.

Since the death of Shangguan Feng and Shangguan Chao, the Shangguan clan, which was once ranked among the five powerful lords of the country, has only left the two brothers to support the portal, so the second brother, who has never been directly involved in the officialdom of the Wei State, also participated in the deliberations for the first time this time, which made Shangguan Tan's heart feel a little hazy.

The five high-ranking lords of the Great David Kingdom back then, leaving aside the Zhang family and the Gongsun family, which are already tomorrow's yellow flowers, there are still three families left, the Ye family relies on an ancestor who is the head of the Taoist sect, and everything is transcendent, and the Murong family is blooming everywhere, not limited to Wei State, so even His Royal Highness the King of Wei cannot restrict the Murong family too much, but has to rely on it more.

Only their Shangguan clan, after the death of their ancestor Shangguan Xianchen, every time the rivers go down, they have to be tied to the big boat of Wei State now, one is prosperous, and one is lost.

It's like a big gamble, it's natural to win the bet, but if the bet loses?

Shangguan Tan didn't dare to continue thinking about it.

At this moment, Xiao Jin, who was sitting in the highest position, looked around and said slowly: "I think I already know that in the previous battle of the two Xiang, because of the sword sect Xu Beiyou's attack, our army was defeated and lost, and we had to temporarily retreat. I don't know if you know, what did Xu Beiyou do after this battle?"

There was silence in the palace.

Only Xiao Lin, who single-handedly created the Ghost King Palace, replied in a deep voice: "Your Royal Highness, Xu Beiyou has left Liangxiang after the first battle of Liangxiang, and went to Shuzhou through the White Emperor City with Qian Muzhai and others. ”

Xiao Jin nodded, and then said: "What about Xu Beiyou after seeing Sun Shaotang? I think you don't know, then Gu will tell you that Xu Beiyou went from Shuzhou to Southern Xinjiang, and there are also Zhao Qing and Lan Yu from the side to assist, according to the news from the Daomen, at this time, the Great Elder of the Southern Xinjiang Witch Sect, Zhu Jiuyin, and the Barbarian King have died at the hands of Zhao Qing, and now the entire Southern Xinjiang Barbarian Race is leaderless, and it is difficult to contain the front army of Shuzhou. ”

As soon as Xiao Jin said this, the faces of the high-ranking civil and military officials of the Wei State were obviously ugly, and everyone here was familiar with important military and political affairs, so they naturally knew what it meant.

Xiao Jin continued: "If it is not surprising that Lan Yu has already gone to White Emperor City at this time, then there will be no surprise that the former army of Shuzhou sent troops to aid the rear army in Jiangnan. This Sword Sect Sect Master really relied on his own strength to turn the situation in the entire Huzhou Province by half. ”

The faces of the people present were no longer as simple as being a little ugly, but extremely solemn.

Shangguan Tan was silent, the battle of Dongting Lake, the Jiangnan Navy Division was defeated and lost, it can be said that only one commander Yu Kuang was left to break through alone, and the Jiangnan rear army lost nearly half, and could only retreat into the Liangxiang City, known as the southeast gateway, if it was not for Xu Beiyou's unexpected rush to help Liangxiang, then Liangxiang had changed hands at this time. But who can restrain Xu Beiyou? Daomen's black-clothed sect leader Chenye led the archdeacon of the Demon Suppression Hall to pour out, so what? A huge Demon Suppression Hall was killed by one person and one sword, and even the first archdeacon Taiyi Rescue Tianzun was submissive to the Sword Sect, and the Demon Suppression Palace, which was once powerful in the world, was already in name only.

Xiao Jin smiled, "The people in the Sword Sect have always believed in turning things around with their own strength, Shangguan Xianchen was like this back then, and Xu Beiyou is still like this today. Of course, when it was also in the south of the Yangtze River, Shangguan Xianchen died on the bank of the river, and there must be many people thinking in their hearts, will Xu Beiyou also die on the bank of the river? I might as well tell you, just the masters who died directly in the hands of Xu Beiyou already have a hand, Li Fenggu, Xiao Shen, Zhongli Anning, King Jizang, Central Ghost Emperor, King Yama, and the lowest realm is also the realm of the sixteenth floor of the Earth Immortal, if Xu Beiyou suddenly appears in this Ten Thousand Stone Garden today, how can you stop it?"

There was silence in the palace, and no one could answer this heart-wrenching question.

Xiao Jin sighed softly: "According to the intimacy, Emperor Dazheng Shenzong is Gu's uncle, how did he die back then?" It was in the hands of Gu's brother, that time, he invited Shangguan Xianchen, but unfortunately Xiao Yu was a step ahead, and invited the old master of the Dao Sect to teach Zichen, so don't underestimate these Earth Immortal Monks, although they can't easily shoot on the battlefield because of the restrictions of the Heavenly Dao, but if you learn from the assassin dead soldiers, its role is even greater, even more than being on the battlefield, if someone can kill Gu at this time, or kill any one of Mu Tangzhi and Lin Han, I am afraid that the situation in the world will change dramatically immediately......"

Speaking of this, Xiao Jin fell into silence.

There are only a handful of people in the world who have this ability, but Xu Beiyou, who gave him a headache, was one of them.
