Chapter 1553 The So-Called Overthrow of a Country
Si Jiao looked at Yu Liyang deeply.
This Yandao strongman, who was too young for him, could be said to have grown up under his watch.
When he was young, he was a famous playboy. When he became a real person, he also called himself "Peach Blossom Fairy". The playboy was really playboy. His romanticism was well-known in the whole southern region.
It was after Daxia suffered the disaster of national destruction that he seemed to have changed into a different person. He became upright and cautious, gentle and polite. Then, in the seventeenth year of Shenwu, he stood at the top of the extraordinary.
If Jianfeng Mountain must have someone to guard it, it would be the safest and most capable of realizing the strategic conception for him, Si Jiao, to go there in person.
But he was the commander-in-chief of this national war, and he should not be moved lightly, let alone put on the front line easily.
With the current situation of Xia, it was absolutely impossible to fill in a real person of the time.
After all the calculations, only Yu Liyang was the most suitable.
But even if he was a dignified martial king, he could not take the initiative to make this request.
He couldn't take the initiative to let a true lord who was on equal footing with him take risks.
So if Yu Liyang had no intention, he would have prepared to add another marquis to go to Fengjie Mansion with Jin Ling...
"We are not going to defeat Qi in this battle. Although when we swore an oath, we all said that we would invade the East Region and break Linzi... But you and I both know that this is impossible. Being able to repel the Qi army is our highest goal."
Si Jiao said: "But in fact, we don't need to repel the Qi army. What we need to fight for is just time. Jingmu's all-out war has lasted for a full twenty-one days. Jing is the hero of the world and has no match for it. It's hard to say when the victory or defeat can be determined. We just need to delay the Qi army, and when Jing wins the battle in the North Region, we will naturally win without winning."
Yu Liyang looked into the distance with his hands behind his back. He didn't like this weak feeling of "just needing to delay" and "just needing to buy time". Those who take the best will get the middle. Now Xia Kingdom doesn't even have the ambition to take the best.
But he also knew very clearly in his heart what the facts were.
He asked, "Does the King of Wu still remember how long we defended after the death of the previous emperor?"
"Thirty-three days."
Even though it was thirty-two years ago, Si Jiao still felt like it was yesterday.
That kind of generous and heroic feeling cannot be buried by time.
"Even though the main force was defeated and the previous emperor was killed, we still defended for thirty-three days. In thirty-three days, we fought to the death with every inch of mud and every inch of blood, and we held back the Qi Front and built the Yitian Temple. The Emperor of Qi had to return! This time, the Emperor of Qi did not come, Jiang Mengxiong was not here, and Cao Jie came. We don't focus on winning, and it's no problem to hold on for half a year. Half a year is enough for Jing Mu to decide the winner!"
"I think so too." Yu Liyang said. His tone was a little flat.
Si Jiao thought about it and decided to give Yu Liyang a reassurance, so he said: "Earlier in the outer world, I let a small world and the Nandou Hall Changshengjun make friends. This time I asked him to help, and the Nandou Hall will support us to fight against Qi!"
Yu Liyang was moved!
The Nandou Hall Changshengjun is an existence standing at the top of the extraordinary.
He was once called the Nanji Changsheng Emperor, who was in charge of the ancient sect and the immortal emperor of the world. It can be seen that he is glorious.
Later, he was forcibly stripped of his emperor title by the King of Chu, and was only called Changshengjun.
Si Jiao actually quietly asked a true lord for support?
This is a very useful chess piece!
Used at a critical moment, it is enough to turn the tide of the war!
But Yu Liyang also thought that it was no wonder that King Wu didn't care about Jin Ling's mission to Chu. Changshengjun would never join the army of the Chu people. Since he asked Changshengjun, he didn't have any hope for Chu from the beginning.
"Will Nandou Hall go all out?" Yu Liyang asked.
You have to know that Nandou Hall is a major sect in the world, and there are six great masters in the hall, all of whom are powerful at the time. For the current Xia Kingdom, it is really a timely combat force.
Si Jiao said: "At least Changsheng Jun will make a move once."
Of course, Yu Liyang understood.
The so-called friendship between Si Jiao and Changsheng Jun is very debatable. It should be just a certain agreement that will be exchanged for Changsheng Jun to make a move once, and perhaps one or two masters of Nandou Hall.
It is impossible to expect Nandou Hall to support with all its strength... The ancient sect has its own laws for inheritance.
So what is the price to pay?
This question rang in my heart, but I didn't ask it.
Yu Liyang finally said: "With King Wu here, the sky won't fall. I can leave without worries!"
Si Jiao said sincerely: "If Jianfeng Mountain can be defended, then defend it. It would be best if we can delay the Qi army for half a month. If we can't do that... please King Min, please put the country first, don't cherish your reputation, and evacuate yourself. I have 21 prefectures in Daxia. Without Fengjie Prefecture, there is still Xiangyou Prefecture. Every inch of the river and mountain can be fought. But without King Min, there will be no one to fight for the mountains and rivers... King Min, please don't let me be alone!"
"Don't worry, King Wu, I know the importance."
Yu Liyang finally took a look at the busy formation masters, and looked at the Nine Dragons Lihuo Formation being constructed in Tongyang City... One step away.
Of course, the Xia Kingdom also had a national defense formation - it was once removed, and after the Qi army retreated, Queen Mother Xia directly emptied the treasury and rebuilt the national defense formation again, so that the coronation ceremony of the current Emperor of Xia at that time was extremely shabby. Even the emperor only had one set of crown and robes. Empress Dowager Xia herself, for a long time, still wore the clothes she had worn when she was the empress.
The Great National Defense Formation that Queen Mother Xia stubbornly rebuilt was an important reason why Xia was able to get out of the war so quickly and quickly stabilize after the disaster of national destruction.
Its power is certainly extraordinary.
For any country, the Great National Defense Formation is a fundamental existence.
But as the biggest card in Xia's national defense, the Great National Defense Formation must not be used so early.
Apart from other things, the resources consumed by the opening of the Great National Defense Formation are really terrifying. Every day it is opened, a huge amount of Dao Yuan Stone is consumed, and it is impossible to use it as a regular means.
Therefore, a defense line like Jianfeng Mountain is needed to supplement national defense and resist foreign aggression.
Jianfeng Mountain can no longer be relied on.
The Tongyang City Defense Line is the second defense line built by the Xia Army this time, and it is also the real defense line to resist the Qi Army.
It is stationed with heavy troops and reinforced with the Nine Dragons Lihuo Formation.
Brick by brick, one person after another...
It seems that the trickle of the entire Xia country's manpower and national power has gathered to form a surging tide, and in a very short time, it will create a natural moat!
…
…
Fengjie Prefecture is in the northeast of Xia State.
Jianfeng Mountain is the most famous mountain in Xia State.
The so-called "northeast gate, with a sword tip erected" in "Daxia Fangzhi" is exactly the case.
In the days when Yang State stood in the east, the majesty of Emperor Yang never crossed Jianfeng Mountain, and it became famous.
Until last year, it was broken by the Qi army.
As the vanguard, Wang Yiwu, a young general of Qi State, was the vanguard. His troops were so fast that all the countries along the way avoided him and ran away in hiding. He broke into Xia territory overnight, regardless of life and death, and attacked Jianfeng Mountain! He formed a military formation and killed Hua Fangyu, the defender of Jianfeng Mountain at that time. He didn't have time to open the mountain protection formation, and the weapons on the mountain were transported away by the Qi people-
This should have made Wang Yiwu famous all over the world.
But because Jiang Mengxiong later stood on Jianfeng Mountain and asked the Emperor Xia about it with his fist.
Everything that happened before was relatively dim, and not many people cared about it...
After all, in front of the name "Jiang Mengxiong", the inner court killing the magic power of the outer building, and the inner court ranking in the world were just like children playing house.
Jiang Mengxiong once again became famous in the world and showed his dominance, which was nothing more than an example of his countless glorious achievements in the past.
And Yu Liyang, who became the background of the punch that hit Baili Zhiyuan and directly caused Xia Kingdom to show weakness and surrender, was inevitably looked down upon by the world.
So Yu Liyang, who climbed Jianfeng Mountain again, had a complicated mood.
He was the most suitable to guard Jianfeng Mountain. Of course, he knew what everyone else knew. The reason why An Guohou took the initiative to ask for death and Si Jiao to hint at it was not without this complicated mood.
He really couldn't face it here.
Jianfeng Mountain was like a long sword piercing the sky from the earth, with the mountain as the handle and the stone as the tip, extremely dangerous and sharp, standing on the only way to enter the hinterland of Fengjie Prefecture.
It has the power to break the sky and the clouds.
If this mountain breaks, the northeastern gate of Xia will be wide open.
Jianfeng Mountain's defense has been built for decades, but it collapsed overnight.
Hua is really a waste. He has a noble family background, a magical power, and a military strategy, but it is all paper work!
But we have to face it - in that battle, the Xia court was obviously not alert. At that time, no one thought that Qi would suddenly send troops, because at that time Yitian Temple was still there, and Jingguo's deterrence was still there. Many people in Xia were still dreaming of sitting back and relaxing, thinking that they didn't have to pay any price, hoping that an equal country could stir up civil strife in Qi and destroy the overlord.
No one expected that Jiang Shu was so strong at that time!
Yu Liyang saw that -
Qi Jun was able to quickly coordinate with the countries along the way and let the vanguard army march straight in. The news was blocked along the way, so that the speed of intelligence transmission could not keep up with the speed of marching.
It not only showed the strength of the Qi army, but also showed that the small countries between Qi and Xia had already had a firm political bias.
The gap between Qi and Xia may not be clear to many Xia people after the revival of Shenwu, but the attitude of the surrounding small countries is clear enough...
Looking at the jagged rocks on the mountain and the long fortifications that have been repaired at least on the surface.
Yu Liyang couldn't help but think of the bloody rain that day.
Thinking of that pair of fists that covered the world...
Thinking of the desperate eyes of Taihua Zhenren!
At that time, they, one Zhenjun and five Zhenren, went up Jianfeng Mountain together, formed the Seven Absolutes and Seven Killings Formation, and besieged Jiang Mengxiong.
The so-called absolute heaven, absolute earth, absolute people, absolute intention, absolute situation, absolute heart, and absolute path to the root.
These are the seven absolutes.
It is the killing formation of Taihua Zhenren to achieve the Tao!
He controls the root gate of the path to the Tao, and Taihua controls the absolute gate of the heaven and the absolute gate of the earth... The seven absolute gates are opened together, and the killing power is almost destroying the world, covering the entire Jianfeng Mountain defense line.
But everything was shattered by the pair of knuckles called "Overthrow the Army and Kill the General".
He couldn't bear it even with the blessing of the killing array, and Taihua Zhenren was killed by a punch...
Perhaps the best news in this national war is that Jiang Mengxiong did not fight.
However, since Cao Jie was able to win the competition and become the commander of the Qi army this time, is the army he controls really not as terrible as Jiang Mengxiong?
I hope it is really because Jiang Mengxiong's merits are too outstanding that he is feared by the Emperor of Qi, so he can't lead the army!
Yu Liyang stepped onto Jianfeng Mountain in one step, immediately took over the power, and arranged the defense in a few minutes.
But when he sat down on the top of the mountain and waited for the Qi army.
He threw away his meaningless "hope".
How is it possible? He thought.
What kind of person is the Emperor of the East?
……
……
"The Grand Marshal of the country may have made too many achievements and was tabooed by the Emperor of Qi. That's why he was unable to control the Xia army. Otherwise, how could he lose to Cao Jie?"
"The cunning rabbit is dead, and the lackey is cooked! Qi has become the overlord, and the military god is useless. It is only a waste of the country's power, and it is difficult to fulfill his share. He is suspected of overshadowing his master with his merits!"
"The State of Qi has no public. Jiang Mengxiong is in charge of the military hall, is at the top of the Yan Dao, is appointed as the Grand Marshal of the country, and is known as the God of the Great Qi Army. He has no title and no reward. How can he be promised any more? How will the emperor reward him for his efforts in conquering Xia? "
War never exists in isolation. Fighting with power, fighting with alliances, deciding with swords and axes, clashing with each other in the court. For example, public opinion and national opinion are all weapons.
Rumors spread quickly in Linzi.
And each one is more dangerous than the last.
It seemed like a spark fell into the oil pan and exploded immediately.
Of course, it also reached the ears of the emperor.
It was used as a resting place before court meetings, and was often used as a study room for the emperor... The layout of Donghua Pavilion has not been changed in fifty-six years.
Only last year, there was an extra stone screen.
Pictures of sentient beings are painted on it.
At this time, Qi Tianzi stood in front of the stone screen with his hands behind his hands, watching and listening quietly.
Han Ling, the head of the internal officials, finished his report without adding or subtracting a word, and then stood there, silent, as if he had sunk into the shadow of a lamp.
Emperor Qi suddenly laughed: "It is much faster than Cao Jie's marching speed."
The speed of rumors is naturally faster than the march of a million troops.
There was no Donghua bachelor around today, so he spoke more casually.
Otherwise, if these words spread, it would be easy for people to think that the emperor was dissatisfied with Cao Jiu's speed. Spreading the word will put tremendous pressure on the front line.
Han Ling remained silent and had no opinions to express.
"I don't care how these voices came to me." Qi Tianzi said slowly: "I just want to ask you, have they been dealt with?"
Rumors are like this, three people can become a tiger, and a crowd of words can make a fortune. Repeated ten times and hundreds of times, the false ones became true. After listening to it hundreds of times, I can't help but feel guilty.
Han Ling bowed and said, "I couldn't find anything useful, so I fed them all to the ferocious beasts."
He added: "It is my dereliction of duty to taint the emperor's ears with this rumor. Let's start to rectify it."
"That's all." Qi Tianzi waved his hand: "These people can't be killed all."
"Loyal today, traitor tomorrow. Reliable this year may not be reliable next year. How can we kill them all? When the Xia Kingdom is gone, they will naturally feel at ease."
Han Ling then silently retreated into the shadows.
"Some are deaf, some are mute, some are bad, some are stupid, some are sincere, some are taking advantage of the opportunity to cause trouble, some are confused for a while, and some are smart all their lives!"
Emperor Qi looked at this picture of all living beings, as if he had found what he saw among all the living beings. It seemed like nothing was found.
After all, that figure has stayed in autumn forever.
In the end, he just sighed——
"What a beautiful painting!"

Thank you to all readers for your support.
I should write more recently, but the Battle of Xia is really difficult to write about.
I seemed to be standing on that battlefield, watching the collision of two powerful countries, but I was just an ordinary person who was not extraordinary, with mortal eyes. I couldn't understand many things. There were some things beyond my imagination. Why? It cannot be formed.
I want to describe the painting in front of me, but it's a bit difficult to start. I don't know which part to start.
I, like you, walk in the fog of that world.
Let's go, let's go!
