Chapter 434: Chaos

(This chapter will be a bit fragmented. It can be regarded as a general "bundle" of the previous foreshadowing and the following plot. It is also because some readers have reported that the plot progress is slow, so as to promote the progress of the plot.)

At the time of sunset on the western mountain, here in Nanyang County, the mercenary regiments were arguing. The remaining main force of Nanyang County was defeated in one fell swoop, and the entire Nanyang County fell into the arms of the mercenary group.

So now comes the problem, which is the division of the territory. Everyone wants to divide an extra area.

And Beichen Yuqing led more than 300,000 elites to continue guarding the border, just in case.

At the same time, here in Qi State, the emperor of Qi State finally heard the news of Nanyang County, and immediately said to Prime Minister He Zhiguo: "Nanyang County has been captured by those mercenary groups, you can go to Guangling County now, and the remaining More than half of Guangling County was bought here.

In this way, Shang Kingdom definitely has nothing to say. "

"Yes, I'm leaving now!" He Zhiguo came out of the palace, and immediately led the three million taels of gold 'Jiaozi' and set off. Since Anyang had a bank, surrounding countries have also set up their own banks. But because Anyang took possession of the word "bank" at the beginning, other countries can only use other names.

There are all kinds of names such as bank and gold bank. Among them, Qi State followed Anyang and established the "Qi State Royal Bank".

But just after He Zhiguo left, the emperor of Qi State received an urgent report from the West—lost in the first battle!

"What's going on!" The emperor of Qi was furious and asked the messenger.

The messenger was a small captain next to Taiwei Li Hui, and he spoke articulately: "Your Majesty, Huang Guo has been prepared for a long time. When we launched an attack, we discovered that Huang Guo, who seemed unprepared, was already prepared. On the border, all All of the large-caliber guns are above 105mm.

Caught off guard, our side suffered a lot of losses. Marshal Qiu Wenming, who served as the commander of the army, was almost hit head-on by shells. "

The emperor of Qi's face turned cold: "That is to say, we haven't broken through the defense of Huang's country yet?!"

"Yes!" The captain replied loudly.

"Slap!" The emperor of Qi State was furious, and the jade case that was slapped was crumbling, "Okay, before leaving, Li Hui told me to destroy Huang State before sunset tomorrow. As a result, she was beaten back as soon as she made contact with it!

Come on! "

"Your Majesty." A guard came over.

"Go and tell Li Hui that no matter what method is used, tomorrow I will break through the defenses of the Huang Kingdom, and before sunset tomorrow, the main force's forwards will advance to the capital of the Huang Kingdom.

I don't ask the reason, don't ask the method, only ask the result! "

"Yes!" The guard replied, turned around and left.

The emperor of Qi State looked at the soldier delivering the letter: "You go down too."

When the soldiers left, the emperor of Qi looked at the map behind him, and was very helpless. This map was also from the original Anyang print.

Seeing the word "Anyang" on the map, the emperor of Qi clenched his fingers, his veins popped out, and he gritted his teeth and squeezed out four words: "Anyang! Li Xian!"

The words were complex, filled with anger, admiration, and some weird relief of meeting an opponent. But then, everything turned into anger, boundless anger!

"Anyone who dares to block my footsteps is an enemy! Li Xian, you, too!!!"

No wonder the emperor of Qi was so angry. For an emperor of a country, the best way to practice is...territorial expansion!

Take a look at Anyang, as Anyang rises step by step to become the Kingdom of Shang, too many people's cultivation bases continue to break through; and Li Xian, as a virtuous king, jumped from the foundation-building stage to the Nascent Soul stage in just a few years , This speed is fast enough to make the practitioners who practice step by step jealous, and even lose their minds.

This is the strength of the country.

But there is one thing, if you want to expand your territory, you must go to war. This...is playing a game of death! Soldiers, citizens, and even the emperor himself are all walking the tightrope.

The road to practice has always been a single-plank bridge, and the brave wins when you meet on a narrow road.

Now, Qi's defeat in the first battle has affected Qi's war plan, and the emperor of Qi is of course angry. The one who was most angry was not angry with Huang Guo, but angry with Anyang, the current Shang Kingdom, and Li Xian, a profiteer and virtuous king—this bastard sold arms everywhere, and he was very efficient!

After the anger was over, the emperor of Qi suddenly realized - how did Huang's arms get there?

How did it get there? Of course... by air!

When the Qi emperor was furious, the Huang emperor was receiving merchants from the Shang kingdom.

The emperor of the Yellow Kingdom, dressed in elegant clothes, received businessmen from the Shang Kingdom with equal etiquette. "Thanks for your support this time."

As he said that, the Emperor Huang turned his head and looked outside. There used to be a vast royal garden, but now the royal garden has been flattened by magic and turned into a temporary airport. At the airport, more than a dozen huge planes are moving slowly.

These planes have never been shown to the outside world. They have a wingspan of more than 30 meters, six engines, and can transport more than 50 tons of supplies at a time. It only takes half a day to go back and forth between the Kingdom of Shang and the Kingdom of Huang.

There are planes falling in the sky and planes taking off on the ground. All the planes that fly to high altitude will activate the stealth formation, and try to fly as high as possible, bypassing the important cities of Qi.

And this kind of transportation has been going on for two days! In two days, they not only brought arms to Huang Guo, but also brought a lot of basic machine tools, general gunpowder production technology and so on.

Of course, Shang Kingdom will not do business that loses money. Of course, there must be rewards for paying so much! Therefore, the representatives from the Kingdom of Shang could only interrupt the excitement of the emperor of the Yellow Kingdom.

"Your Majesty, things have been delivered to you, including 800 cannons, 60,000 shells, and 500,000 talisman seals. There is also a set of basic machine tools, including 2,000 volumes of books such as gunpowder production instructions and various arms combat guides, and maps. Five hundred copies.

10 jade slips with various usage instructions.

Everything is worth twelve million taels of gold. Including transportation costs, a total of 15 million taels of gold. "

The emperor of Huang Kingdom took the map of Huang Kingdom and pointed at it casually, "Jinshan County is located in the southwest, bordering Baishan Kingdom and Shao Kingdom, with an area of ​​180 miles from north to south and 150 miles from east to west."

"Okay!" The businessman of the Kingdom of Shang was very satisfied, "This is the county, let's sign."

The two signed and swore that the transaction would be considered complete this time.

After signing, the emperor of Huang Kingdom suddenly asked: "Mr. Xiao Zihou, do businessmen in Shang Kingdom have the power of Pengcheng Wanli Group?"

It turned out that Xiao Zihou, the second shareholder of Pengcheng Wanli Group, was responsible for transporting this batch of arms.

When Xiao Zihou heard the words, he was silent for a while, but he didn't answer directly, but smiled and said with endless pride: "There will be more in the future. Farewell."

When Xiao Zihou left, His Majesty Huang's face suddenly became gloomy, "Shang Kingdom, hmph, taking advantage of the fire, I will remember you all!"

But then seeing the planes constantly taking off and landing in the royal garden, the Emperor Huang finally sighed, "Industrial and commercial?"

After a short pause, the Emperor Huang suddenly said, "Come here, please inform Baishan and Rongguo."

After the two groups of people left, the emperor of the Huang Kingdom suddenly wrote a letter and handed it to the head of the guard beside him, "Send it to the Shao Kingdom in the west immediately, and ask for help!"

"Yes!" The chief guard also left.

After everyone had left, the Emperor Huang sighed and looked up at the planes flying in the sky: "It has changed, it has really changed! It has completely changed!

In fact, I understand very well that the state of Huang is just an extension of the states of Qi and Shao. Once a war breaks out, the state of Huang will definitely be crushed. Even if we develop industry and commerce now, it is too late!

Because, I... have no masters!

The only hope is that the whole country joins the Shao Kingdom! Doing so can at least protect the royal family and save more common people from the flames of war. "

…………

Xiao Zihou returned to the plane, looking at the little 'Jinshan County' on the map, both proud and mocking.

The proudest thing is that he finally completed the account of the virtuous king and exchanged for the land. This piece of land does not belong to the Pengcheng Wanli Group, and even those planes and ammunition do not belong to the Pengcheng Wanli Group. Pengcheng Wanli Group, this is an "intermediate contractor". This is the virtuous king's support for domestic industry and commerce.

This kind of support made all the businessmen feel grateful to the virtuous king from the bottom of their hearts. And right now, after Xiao Zihou fulfilled the virtuous king's entrustment, he couldn't help being a little bit proud—the area was one-third larger than the virtuous king expected!

And ridicule... "A small country is the effect, even a county is only one-third of a big country's county."

Putting the documents into the bag, Xiao Zihou closed his eyes and returned to Anyang.

…………

In the south, Jin State's attack on Liu State was not very smooth, and encountered very violent resistance.

First of all, Liu Guo is a big country after all. Although the domestic legal system is harsh, the reward strategy of "capital merit" makes Liu Guo soldiers fight bravely.

Especially in the past, Liu Guo has always pursued the strategy of "bringing the strong into the bureaucratic system", which made Liu Guo's fighting ability very strong.

In addition, Liu Guo has been in contact with the Shang Kingdom for a long time after all, and the arms and the like are not bad. Recently, through the relationship of Gongsun Wushang, he bought a lot of obsolete arms from the Shang Kingdom. The army blocked the border.

"Equally matched, how is this possible!" Li Lisong, the commander of the Central Army of the Jin State, sighed fiercely. After fighting for a whole day, he failed to break through the Liu State's border.

The artillery fire from both sides was intensive, and the planes in the sky were fighting endlessly. And under such a war situation, Jin's bottom-pressing means - the battle formation, actually failed!

Because the artillery attack is far away, but the attack of the battle formation is too close, this has become the Achilles heel of the traditional battle formation.

Without the support of the battle formation, Jin's attack is much weaker!

"But it's not impossible!" Li Lisong's eyes flashed sharply, "Send Yuanyingqi and Jindanqi to form a commando team, quietly touch the rear of Liu Guo, and start the massacre!

General Lingyun Qiao Pengfei, please lead your men to attack.

What you need, go to the warehouse to get it, without any restrictions. I just need one point, victory! Want nothing but victory. clear? "

"Understood!" Qiao Pengfei responded and left. Although Qiao Pengfei's cultivation was higher than that of Li Lisong, Li Lisong was the commander in chief, while Qiao Pengfei was just a general, and he had to obey the commander on the battlefield.

In fact, in a war involving hundreds of thousands of people, the ability of a Nascent Soul stage master may not be that strong—it is impossible for the enemy to not have a Nascent Soul stage to hold the line.

Watching Qiao Pengfei leave, Li Lisong smiled confidently: "Although arms can change the war, they cannot replace the combat ability of a master. Excessive reliance on arms will only make you passive.

After I master the characteristics of arms, I can compete with Shang Kingdom.

Shang Kingdom, I will never forget the failure last time, and I still have to go back. And Li Xian, I want you to know that this is the world of practice, and weapons and weapons are definitely not the mainstream. Maybe it can be amazing for a while, but it can never become the mainstream! "

At the same time, Gongsun Wushang, who was visiting Liu, ended his visit and returned to the fleet, which began to return.

…………

At dusk, Li Hui, the captain of the front line of the Qi State, also received an order from the Emperor Qi State to take down the Huang State at all costs!

Taking down the Yellow Kingdom is not only a military goal, but also a long-term political goal. Only by taking Huang Guo, can the plan behind Qi be launched. In short, taking down Huang Guo is Qi's plan that does not allow failure, and it is also the starting point of many subsequent plans.

After receiving the order, Li Hui looked at the setting sun that was starting to turn red, and took a deep breath, "Send the order, organize the masters, and raid the Huang Kingdom's palace tonight!"

Looking at the sunset, Li Hui was very calm and did not panic at all.

Next to him, the commander-in-chief Qiu Wenming suddenly asked, "My lord, have you already had this idea?"

"Yes! Today's battle, I just want to understand the characteristics of the arms war and prepare well. If there is a war between us and the Kingdom of Shang in the future, we have to respond accordingly.

And today's battle has also made the Yellow Emperor relax his vigilance, which is beneficial for us to start!

Alright, prepare a team of masters, and slaughter Huang Guo's high-level officials tonight, leaving no one behind. Capture the entire Yellow Kingdom before sunset tomorrow. "

"Yes!" Marshal Qiu Wenming stepped back, and was even more in awe of Li Hui.

…………

Xiao Guo, Zhang Mansion, at dusk, Zhang Yuan's eyes were gloomy, while Zhang Quan's eyes flickered and worried.

The Yuan family finally made a counterattack, but this counterattack was beyond everyone's imagination!

It's not assassination, political persecution, moral condemnation, etc., it's just... throwing money at people! But the effect was very good and powerful; the Yuan family even acted aboveboard.

From the early morning of yesterday to the evening of today, the Yuan family dropped 100,000 taels of gold in one go; and the result was very remarkable, the number of guards in the Zhang residence was reduced by half!

This matter became a joke with a weird atmosphere in Wufeng City.

Because the Yuan family was throwing money at people, Xiao Liming, the emperor of the Xiao Kingdom, was not easy to intervene. You can't cut off people's wealth! The Yuan family was willing to distribute their wealth, and Xiao Liming was also happy to watch the fun.

Moreover, Xiao Liming is actually wary of the Zhang family that has surrendered twice. If he can take the opportunity to get rid of the Zhang family, Xiao Liming will be very happy! The current Xiao country has stabilized, and the current Zhang family... is useless! It's even harmful!

Not to mention, the Yuan family's Jiuchongtian Group brought a large amount of military supplies to Xiao Guo.

As for other officials and families, they are also happy. The Yuan family is an outsider after all, it is impossible to snatch Xiao Guo's interests. On the contrary, after Yuan's family got rid of Zhang's family, there would be new interests in Xiao's country. Therefore, everyone is also very happy to watch the excitement.

In addition, the Yuan family came here for revenge, and the revenge was aboveboard, and the methods were relatively novel and positive, and there was no reason for everyone to stop it.

In such an environment of acquiescence, the Yuan family's revenge unfolded vigorously.

Faced with this kind of revenge from the Yuan family, Zhang Yuan and Zhang Quan, the father and son, were a little helpless.

The only way is to fight for wealth with the Yuan family, but obviously this is a dead end. Fighting for wealth with a group that has already established a foothold in the Shang Kingdom... This is really not a good idea.

A country that is as rich as an enemy is a true portrayal of those groups in the Shang Dynasty.

In contrast, although Zhang Yuan has money, but the source of this wealth is without roots and can be easily exhausted.

"Father, why don't we leave Xiao Country and go to another country?" Zhang Quan had no idea at this time.

Zhang Yuan gritted his teeth, and finally sighed: "I can't leave! If we stayed in Xiao Country, the Yuan family would still play with us for wealth; Will let us go!"

Zhang Quan also said a word with all his strength: "We rely on Li Xian!"

"Heh..." Zhang Yuan laughed at himself, "Do you think the current Li Xian is still the original Li Xian! The current Li Xian is a high-ranking virtuous king, the founder of capitalism, and the leader of industry and commerce. One step away, Li Xian will be praised as the patriarch.

Haven't you discovered Li Xian's way of doing things now?

Send Yuan Yong to Xiao Guo to negotiate, send Gongsun Wushang to Liu Guo, and send Yan Ze'an to negotiate with Cai Guo. You said, if we seek refuge in Anyang this time, will Li Xian send Yuan Yong out to meet us? "

Zhang Quan was dumbfounded, this possibility... as high as 90%, at least!

After a long silence, Zhang Quan suddenly became grim, "Isn't it just fighting for wealth? We are not afraid. Now my subordinates have mastered most of the sales channels of Brilliant Star Group in Xiaoguo, and even controlled several textile factories, a simple machine tool production factory , we have enough capital to fight for it.”

Zhang Yuan shook his head, took a deep breath, and then exhaled heavily: "You didn't understand that the Yuan family didn't want to fight for wealth with us, but to make us betray our relatives. After everyone around us leaves, hehe ..."

Zhang Quan immediately shuddered, as if he had thought of the terrible consequences!

Zhang Yuan looked up at the dim sunset again, "Yuan Yong, this move is so beautiful, I have to admire it. It caters to Li Xian's hobby, and he can do revenge in a fair, bloodless, and everyone's favor." I like it, Yuan Yong, you really deserve to be an evergreen tree in politics!"

Unfortunately, Zhang Yuan didn't know that this method of revenge was proposed by Yuan Zhao and perfected by Yuan Yong.

Sigh, sigh, Zhang Yuan is not a soft persimmon, otherwise he would not be where he is today. "Isn't it just fighting for money? Starting tomorrow, we will also add money to buy soldiers.

In addition, we have to take the initiative and send people to the country of Shang to bribe the people under the Yuan family!

By the way, let's see if we can find some talents from Anyang, especially those in business and industry, especially those who have just graduated! "

Thus, a battle of revenge and counterattack, and a battle of wealth officially kicked off!

…………

In Yingzhou Donghai Dragon Palace, the old Dragon King sat on the throne, surrounded by the Crown Prince, the Second Prince, and the Dragon Princess. As for the third prince, Ao Han, who was still unable to transform himself, he obediently lay behind his elder brother, sticking his head out from time to time. Look at the dragon princess with a powdery face.

Whenever Princess Dragon glanced at her, Ao Han would withdraw his head; but a dragon tail could not be hidden and poked out.

Princess Long couldn't laugh or cry, "Come out, don't hide, what does it look like to hide your head and show your tail!"

Ao Han rushed out with a whimper, and acted like a baby in front of Princess Long, "Beautiful sister, gentle sister, are you not angry anymore?"

The corners of Ao Qingxue's mouth twitched, "Where did I learn these strange words. Go and sit over there."

Ao Han carefully placed himself in his position.

The Dragon King looked at his four children, and said solemnly, "There are still a few days left, and it's time for a duel. Are you ready?"

Ao Qingxue was a little worried, "Father, do we need to inform Li Xian?"

"No need, Li Xian has helped us enough. In the next duel, Li Xian can't help us. We need it, ourselves!"

As he said that, a one-meter-sized box suddenly appeared in the Dragon King's hand, "This was sent by Li Xian yesterday, and it is my custom-made 'Dragon Armor'.

Tianlong Armor is made of pure gold with a purity of 99.99999%. Meet the six-nine standard mentioned by Li Xian. Doped with purified Taibai fine gold, deep sea cold iron, Xuansha Yin iron, etc.

There are 999 pieces of scale armor, 36 pieces of shields, flying swords, spears and other weapons.

The entire Tianlong battle armor is engraved with more than 30 formations and spells, including tearing, strengthening, haste, confusion, gathering spirits, soul suppression, and world audio-visual. Using the method of superimposed seal cutting, there are tens of thousands of formations on each scale armor, and more than ten million formations are engraved on the entire set of armor. The scale armor itself can form formations including the four images of heaven and earth, the formation of ten absolutes, and the formation of sealing the sky and locking the earth.

If you just look at the power of this set of armor, it almost surpasses the power of an intermediate spirit weapon. It is composed of 999 magic weapons. Compared with the spirit weapon, what is lacking is only the spirituality, automatic protection of the master and other abilities of the spirit weapon. "

The box was opened, and a set of battle armor appeared, which looked like the battle armor of the leader. What the battle armor holds in his hand is a long-handled Panlong Broadsword, which is the most convenient weapon for the Dragon King.

As soon as the battle armor came out, the Spirit Gathering Formation began to operate, and colorful rays of light lingered around, making the battle armor look like ancient gods descending into the world.

Seeing this battle armor, all the "monsters" gasped.

A dragon and tortoise prime minister was puzzled: "My lord, many of the formations you mentioned just now are small formations at the foundation level. Can these formations really achieve such an effect?"

The Dragon King looked at the battle armor in front of him, and he was also very emotional, "I have seen Li Xian's sword, which has nearly 100,000 small formations engraved on it. I don't know how the people of the Shang Kingdom did it, but some One thing is certain, there is a law in everything, that is—quantitative change reaches qualitative change.

The country of the human race conforms to this rule.

The magic weapon refined by the Shang Kingdom also conforms to this rule. When thousands or tens of thousands of formations are engraved on a magic weapon, wonderful changes will occur.

Right now, the Heavenly Dragon Armor is the best example!

But don't underestimate this kind of superposition, even this king can't do it.

OK, let's go! "

Soon, a cloud and mist flew out from the East China Sea, and flew towards the ocean further east. The cloud and mist have a radius of hundreds of feet, and there are Dragon King, Dragon Prince, Dragon Princess, and many elites, all of them are strong and sharp, and they are full of fighting spirit.

The Dragon Clan, the once-in-ten-thousand-year duel is about to begin!
