Chapter 216 Thunderbolt From the Blue Sky, Come On
Glancing at the bright morning sun, Dugu Junjie casually wiped his forehead. He is only at the Golden Core stage. Although his military strategy is good, his cultivation level is still insufficient. After a fierce battle in the morning, he was already covered in sweat—this was the result of someone protecting him.
However, at this time Dugu Junjie was only excited. He yelled, leading the 20,000 elite troops, all of whom were above the Foundation Establishment Stage, and quickly marched northward.
The wind and clouds are rolling under everyone's feet, and the precious talismans are used to hurry.
In the military, time is victory!
The team had only been advancing for half an hour, when a scout suddenly came to report: "General, the logistics supply team of the Kingdom of Jinyang has been spotted ahead. There are about 5,000 people, and the transported materials are piled up like a mountain.
Probably because at home, they don't have defenses, etc. "
"No defense?" Dugu Junjie's eyes brightened instantly, "How many masters are above the Nascent Soul Stage? What about those above the Golden Core Stage?"
"Preliminary judgment shows that only two leaders are from the Nascent Soul Stage, and the remaining hundreds are from the Golden Core Stage; the rest are from the Foundation Establishment Stage and ordinary soldiers."
Dugu Junjie nodded slowly, maybe the enemy was on his own territory, and he didn't think about any defenses. However, this is a good opportunity.
Dugu Junjie had an idea in an instant: "Let's stop this team, and then everyone will pretend to be disguised and trick the gate. Hey!"
…………
It was also dawn, in the palace of Qixia Kingdom, the new emperor quietly watched the dawn in the east, but his heart was full of confusion.
"The country of Qixia at this time is like the dawn at present. Only a faint light can be seen, but the rest is almost completely shrouded in darkness!"
It has been less than a month since he took the throne, but he is already physically and mentally exhausted. He's not stupid, but...he's not self-aware, he doesn't know how bad he is.
However, he is also working hard, doing his best!
Behind him, Prime Minister Ouyang Si stood quietly, his face full of emotion. In addition to Ouyang Si, there are Zhao Duo, the imperial historian, Su Ming, the minister of the Ministry of household affairs, Yu Tiegan, the minister of the Ministry of war, and so on. But everyone looked solemn.
Ouyang Zi turned his head to look at the crumpled letters on the ground, anger flashed in his eyes. This letter is from the Kingdom of Jinyang, the Kingdom of Jinyang...rejecting the previous marriage contract, such as marrying a princess and becoming a princess, don't take it seriously, it's just a lie to you.
Marriage or something, your country of Qixia is not qualified!
However, in addition to denying the marriage contract, the Kingdom of Jinyang put forward an 'excessive' request - marriage is not eligible, but we can get married. You princess is quite beautiful, you can be a concubine next to the prince.
If you agree, dress up the princess as soon as possible and send it respectfully; as for the dowry, use the entire Zhang family as the dowry, including the Zhang family's black iron smelting technology.
If you do this, our Kingdom of Jinyang can retain half of the territory of the Kingdom of Qixia and accept you as a vassal state. Otherwise, see you on the battlefield!
This condition is, of course, excessive. But...but does the Qixia Kingdom still have a choice? To be more precise, the new emperor could not have imagined that the Qixia Kingdom would have any other hope.
Among the complicated choices of defeat, perish, peace, and keeping half of the country, he... chose the most humiliating way.
It's just that, so far, he hasn't fully made up his mind. He was still thinking of a way, still tangled - because Xingchang County won the victory and captured 70,000 prisoners, which also allowed the emperor to see a ray of light in the dark night.
Under the dawn sky, full of oppression. Ouyang Si and the others didn't know how to speak.
Suddenly there was the sound of footsteps, and I saw a guard coming on tiptoe, standing on the edge of the yard, holding a jade slip from afar, bowing to the emperor and saying, "Your Majesty, this is from the Nine Suns Sect." letter."
The emperor did not speak.
After a while, Ouyang Si had no choice but to come forward, took the jade slips, and held them in front of the emperor.
The emperor's eyes were a little straight, and he looked at the jade slip in Ouyang Si's hand, his eyes... a little timid. "What... is this news? Please take a look and tell me."
The tone is timid and weak, and he doesn't even have the courage to call himself '望'.
When Ouyang Si looked at such a great emperor, let alone the disappointment in his heart. But he still activated the jade slip, and his complexion changed after a while, even a little pale. There was also some fear in Ouyang Si's eyes.
"Your Majesty... Your Majesty... Gudong..." Ouyang Si swallowed a mouthful of saliva, with a trembling tone, "Nine... Nine Suns...rebelled. They all fell to the Kingdom of Jinyang!"
The figure of the great emperor swayed for a moment, and he couldn't stand steadily. Although he doesn't have much political wisdom and methods, he understands the significance of Nine Yang Sect.
Qixia Kingdom has three pillars: the royal family and the country, Jiuyangzong, and Xinglintang!
Xinglintang belongs to soft power, while the royal family and Jiuyangzong really have hard power. Now the Nine Suns sect has fallen to the country of Jinyang, which is equivalent to losing one of the two thighs of the country of Qixia. This result is beyond the word 'bad' to describe it.
In addition, the country's administrative regions are divided into: Guangling County in the center, which is directly ruled by the royal family, accounting for almost half of the Qixia country.
It is surrounded by several small counties, and most of the families and sects are distributed in the surrounding counties.
However, the interior of Guangling County is also intricate, and those left here are all large families and large sects. For example, Nine Suns Sect. The loss of Jiuyangzong is equivalent to the loss of less than half of Guangling County.
That is to say, the Nine Suns Sect made a decision, and one quarter of the land area of Qixia Kingdom was lost!
This is the world of practice, and it is also the influence of large sects on the country. Any royal family doesn't like big families and big sects, so the Kingdom of Jinyang would rather lure wolves into the house, and clean up all the big and small families and sects in the country.
But Qixia Country does not have this ability.
Again there was silence.
The sky gradually brightened, and finally Ouyang Qingque brought the princess over. The princess's face was very calm, or... deathly silent!
Along the way, the princess was very honest, she didn't try to escape at all, her obedience made people feel distressed. Even with Ouyang Qingque's acrimonious character, she didn't say anything at this time.
Liu Xinyu came to the front of the imperial study, looked at the emperor who was facing away from her, and said softly, "Brother!"
The voice is very soft, but weak, confused, and faintly revealing pain.
The emperor's figure trembled, but he still didn't look back.
The princess said softly: "Brother, can I talk to you alone? I'm afraid... I won't have a chance in the future."
There was crying in the voice.
The emperor finally turned around slowly, but he didn't dare to look into Liu Xinyu's eyes. He waved to the people around him, making them retreat, and entered the imperial study with Liu Xinyu.
Ouyang Si looked at the slowly closing door of the Imperial Study Room, and turned to look at his younger sister Ouyang Qingque. Both siblings shook their heads at the same time, their eyes full of emotion.
Suddenly, a desperate scream came from the imperial study.
Ouyang Si and the others stood up straight,
all over
stiff!
