Chapter 345: Establishing the Central Plains, Sweeping the Six Kingdoms, and the Mandate of Heaven Belongs to Me
The peaceful days always go by so fast. A few months pass by in the blink of an eye.
Fifteen years seems like a long time, but in fact, it passes in a flash.
In the past few months, Lu Mingyuan has discussed with the cabinet many times and finally formulated a policy to establish his rule in the Central Plains.
In general, there are only eight words.
Win over and divide, strengthen the army and deter.
With the current national strength of the Great Yan Dynasty, it is difficult to maintain a large-scale expedition. In addition to maintaining the Great Wall in the north, it is also necessary to resist the covetousness of the demon tribe in the west.
So in the short term, the only way is to win over and divide.
The best strategy is to defeat the enemy without fighting.
Among them, the Nanli Dynasty has already expressed its intention to submit to the Great Yan, and the Jinwu Kingdom has even re-become a vassal of the Great Yan.
As for the Great Sui Dynasty, the Great Wu Dynasty, the Yinshuang Empire, and the Song Dynasty, the Song Dynasty is weak and the Great Wu Dynasty is strong on the outside but weak on the inside. They are all objects that can be won over.
The only ones that need to be conquered are the Great Sui and Yinshuang.
During this period, a coup d'état took place in the Nanli Dynasty. The Nanli Emperor was still old, and he suddenly died one night. This emperor, who had been in power for sixty years and lived the same age as Emperor Yong'an, ended his life at the age of nearly a hundred.
Princess Li Muwan, as the Queen of Nanli, had a very high prestige in the country and ascended the throne as the emperor.
However, what no one expected was that.
The new Queen of Nanli submitted a letter of submission to Dayan the day after she ascended the throne.
This news undoubtedly caused a thousand waves.
Many parties were shocked.
As a dynasty that has risen in recent years, the Nanli Dynasty enjoys a very high reputation among the countries.
Even if one-third of the territory was conquered by the wild monsters, it could not hinder Nanli's position in the southwest of the Central Plains.
No one could figure out why Li Muwan had to bow down to the Dayan Dynasty.
Some people speculated that Lu Mingyuan used some method to intimidate the Nanli Dynasty, so the Nanli Dynasty did not dare to disobey the Emperor of Dayan and could only submit.
Some people also said that the Queen of Nanli was just a woman, and she was frightened by the demons, so she had to ask for help from the Great Yan Dynasty, so she ignored the safety of the country and lived a shameful life.
The Great Yan Dynasty naturally agreed to this.
At the same time, the King of Great Yan allowed the Nanli Dynasty to retain the country's name. While paying tribute, it had to pay enough taxes and treasures every year to pay tribute to the suzerain country and become a vassal of Great Yan.
This condition attracted the attention of many countries.
In fact, many countries do not want to be enemies with Great Yan.
Who can be the enemy of the Great Yan today?
The Lord of Great Yan broke through the realm of martial saints, and everyone in the world was terrified, afraid that one day, war would come to their country.
If you can keep the country's name and be the lord of a country, you don't have to worry about being harassed by any war, which is also a good thing.
In the second year of Longyuan, Jingzhe.
The Song Dynasty became the second target of the demons and asked for help from Great Yan.
The Great Yan court threatened the fate of the heavenly destiny, asking the king to surrender the fate and give up the right of passage through the border, otherwise it would never send troops.
Under the attack of the demon tribe, the Song Dynasty had to agree.
As early as a year ago, the Song Dynasty had actually submitted a surrender letter, and now it had to submit a letter of submission.
So Lu Mingyuan issued a transfer order and ordered the King of Zhenbei to send troops.
He personally led the army northward and attacked from both sides.
The Zhenbei Iron Cavalry, which was advancing westward, was harassed by the demon tribe army and was wiped out in one fell swoop.
However, the Shaoxing Emperor of the Song Dynasty was extremely stupid and actually went back on his word and regretted it halfway, refusing to hand over the fate of the heaven.
In order to teach him a lesson, Lu Mingyuan had to lead the army to attack Huanglong and approach the capital of the Song Dynasty, Hangzhou.
Along the way, he was unstoppable and invincible.
No army was a match for him.
Compared with the ancient and majestic Imperial Capital, Hangjing can be called a giant steel city. The city body cast by fine steel is dark and shiny.
Lu Mingyuan adopted the strategy of siege but not attack.
Without attacking the city, it would be in vain. He trained soldiers and set up camps outside the city to show off his power.
As time went on, Hangjing was naturally worried.
Until half a month later, some people in the city began to be unable to withstand the pressure, and began to spread rumors, saying bad things about Emperor Shaoxing and forming forces.
Another seven days passed.
On this night, someone opened the city gate without authorization to welcome the Lord of Da Yan.
Lu Mingyuan led the unstoppable cavalry, attacked the city, and went straight to the palace. For the people, that was no harm.
He could naturally use his great power to destroy the city wall and force his way in, but it would be impossible to win the hearts of the people by doing so.
Only by using some means can Da Yan stand at the commanding heights and let the monks of the Song Dynasty turn against themselves and cannot bear this psychological pressure.
In this way, people will naturally stand on his side.
Midnight.
Lu Mingyuan stood in front of the magnificent Song Palace, gazing at the golden roof and red door of the palace. This antique style gave people a sense of solemnity.
And what he had to do today was to destroy this feeling.
"Enter the palace."
Under his airtight helmet, he gave a faint order, and the surrounding imperial guards with dragon backs and tiger waists rushed directly into the palace with big swords in hand.
The monks of the three academies of Dayan turned into streams and rushed out.
The worshippers of the Song Dynasty took action one after another, but they were no match for the soldiers of Dayan.
The towering sword tower, the dragon-locking well in the back mountain of the palace, and the puppet giant created by the Mohist mechanical technique guarded the deepest part of the palace.
However, everything was destroyed by a terrible martial arts aura.
Above the sword tower, sword energy flew out one after another, taking away the lives of many Great Yan soldiers, all of them sealing their throats with one sword.
This sword tower was made by the joint efforts of many sword cultivators of the ten realms. It can absorb the world and emit sword energy of different powers.
"Boom!"
Suddenly, a majestic and shocking Taotie King General Faxiang stood in the sky above the palace, and struck down with a "bang".
Large swaths of rolling destructive air currents directly demolished the Glazed Sword Tower and turned it into pieces.
This dharma image that towers over the sky and the earth is like a god of war, with golden light flowing in his eyes, and his body is like the angry-eyed Vajra of Buddhism. He pulls out the long knife at his waist.
"Chichi!"
The scorching flames of tens of thousands of degrees swept through the five puppet giants guarding the palace. The black gold iron on their bodies was roasted red, and all turned into flowing molten iron, all over the ground.
The boiling molten iron even splashed and injured many imperial guards of the Song Dynasty.
Lu Mingyuan was located ten feet in front of the Dharma Prime Minister, with an expressionless face. He stood with his sword in hand and walked forward towards the depths of the palace.
Those who blocked the road were all dealt with by the bronze masked shadow men who continuously emerged from the ground.
"Lu Mingyuan, are you really going to do such a tragic thing?"
Emperor Shaoxing was shocked when he saw that there were fewer and fewer people around him. He did not expect that Lu Mingyuan's cultivation had reached such an extent.
Thirteenth level of martial arts, Martial Saint.
It's really so terrifying!
"I will take the destiny as promised."
Lu Mingyuan said in an indifferent tone.
At this time, Emperor Shaoxing seemed to be stalling for time. He looked at the sky with a look of surprise in his eyes and shouted: "I beg you, Master Immortal, to save the life of my Song Dynasty!"
In the distant night, a ray of skylight flickered, getting closer and closer, standing straight in the void, overlooking the capital below.
Finally, they gathered into a figure. This was a middle-aged sword cultivator wearing a green-black Taoist robe. He had a yin-yang fish tattooed on his chest, which was clearly a Bagua pattern.
Lu Mingyuan suddenly looked up and noticed the arrival of this figure.
This figure obviously also saw Lu Mingyuan, raised his head and narrowed his eyes.
The strong and the powerful can always sense each other.
In particular, the aura on Lu Mingyuan's body has not dissipated. His whole body is exuding a faint martial pressure, and his bones are filled with spiritual light, emitting a golden brilliance.
Therefore, in the eyes of this immortal master, the visitor is a powerful enemy.
On a moonlit night in the palace, thousands of people stood in silence on the ground, and the sound of fighting was shocking. Many monks stared at the two tiny figures in the void.
A terrifying and cold sword force arose from the arriving Immortal Master and spread out from the sky, making the Great Yan generals and the monks from the Third Academy feel tight in their chests and take half a step back unconsciously.
Xu Laodao stood in the sky. Although he had reached the immortal realm, he was not careless at all. He stretched out his right hand, and a green light condensed in the palm of his hand, gradually turning into a crystal clear spiritual sword, pointing diagonally at the ground.
On the top of the head and on both shoulders are bright and solid golden lotus flowers.
Three flowers gather at the top, and the road is completed.
He directly sacrificed his natal flying sword and the top three flowers, which shows his solemnity.
Seeing this natural spiritual sword and the power it exuded, Lu Mingyuan also understood it instantly.
The person in front of me is a sword immortal.
It should be the number one enshrined in the Song Dynasty’s national protection level.
After a Qi practitioner joins the Tao, the Tao Qi essence transforms into the spirit. Only by fusing the essence, Qi and spirit can the three flowers be formed. The higher the quality of the three flowers, the stronger the cultivation level.
The old sword cultivator in front of him is a thirteenth level immortal who has not escaped.
Xu Laodao said with calm eyes: "Your Majesty, you might as well give me Da Chi Dong Tian Chi Long Zi a face. The Song Dynasty will definitely apologize to Dayan afterwards."
"It turns out to be Akirauko-senpai."
When Lu Mingyuan heard this name, he probably knew the identity of the person coming.
It is one of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, the Great Red Cave Heaven, which is world-famous for its alchemy and true fire. Chi Longzi is the sect leader of this Great Red Cave Heaven. It is strange that his cultivation level is so high.
When Xu Laodao heard that the other party had heard his name, his face relaxed, but before he could be happy for a long time, he interrupted him with one sentence.
"Chilongzi, listen carefully. I will only use one sword. If you block it and do not retreat even one step, I will withdraw my troops today."
"If not, I want this Song family's destiny, and anyone who stops me will be killed."
After saying that, Lu Mingyuan moved the hand holding the knife.
In an instant.
The holy energy of martial arts all over the body gathered together, and the spiritual holy light in all the meridians began to flow rapidly. The [Martial Saint] Fate was activated, and the pure and untainted thunder mysteries poured into the Youhan Blade, making the Divine Sword Zhu Xie extremely visible. It is translucent, and the heart, energy, and spirit carried by the sword are also unified.
Zheng!
The sound of the sword is like the roar of a dragon in the sea. Compared with the Nineteen Dragon Slaying Styles, the sound of this sword is less dull and the momentum is not pure enough, but it is much more powerful!
A hundred times more powerful!
The knife comes out.
It dragged out a very long Jiao Mo Dao Qi, which was hundreds of meters long. From the ground, it looked like a streaking meteor, lighting up the night sky.
Facing this extremely powerful sword.
For the first time, Xu Laodao was shocked and his eyelids twitched.
It can be said that the entire night was a foil to this knife.
Even Xu Laodao had to admit that he really did not have the confidence to deal with Lu Mingyuan's sword with his sword.
He has seen countless sword masters, and there is no sword in his mind that is more powerful than this one.
It is a sky-cutting sword made of piles of corpses and blood.
He had a solemn look on his face, holding his hands empty, and three extremely bright golden flowers suddenly appeared, exuding a faint pressure.
Draw your sword brazenly!
Boom! !
The power of the swords and knives touched each other, and a deafening roar was heard. The rolling air waves spread out, and the strong wind blew around!
If it was an ordinary sword, Chi Longzi might be able to block it, but this sword energy with a hundred times the power.
It was very clean and sharp, and directly pierced through the leader of Chi Longzi.
Then endless sword energy fell like rain, sweeping the whole world.
Chi Longzi was a sword cultivator in the immortal realm, but he was still quickly defeated by Lu Mingyuan.
In the long night, Lu Mingyuan held the sword in one hand and opened his palm with the other hand.
He didn't care about Chi Longzi's life or death.
He didn't care about Emperor Shaoxing's stunned expression.
He didn't care about the sound of the army's front and back fighting below.
Instead, he stood on the dragon vein of the Song Dynasty and looked directly at the black water dragon national destiny in front of him.
The "Python Swallows Dragon" fate slowly started.
A golden gas smoke rushed up from the ground and turned into a scorching sun.
He intended to extract the destiny and luck of the entire Song Dynasty.
An incomparable sense of power filled his body.
The battle between Lu Mingyuan and Chi Longzi was seen by people within a hundred miles. Many cultivators of the Song Dynasty, including the common people, were panicked.
Although they didn't know what happened specifically, everyone knew the result.
The Song Dynasty was destined to be defeated by these soldiers who entered the city.
"Bang!"
In the boundless sky, a black water dragon appeared completely, illuminating the sky, and fell directly on Lu Mingyuan's head.
Lu Mingyuan's small body can be said to swallow everything, and he absorbed this destiny and luck directly into his body.
In an instant, he felt an amazing sense of pleasure.
Every cell in his body was howling happily.
His Qi was rapidly improved with the blessing of Qi.
From the middle stage of the Martial Saint, he crossed the late stage of the Martial Saint in one fell swoop and entered the realm of the Martial Saint's perfection.
He closed his eyes and experienced it carefully.
[Visualize the fate of the water dragon country, trigger "Observation", the swordsmanship is of great benefit, and master a ray of the swordsmanship. ]
"Emperor Orange Fate-Born Dao Maniac, Refining Degree Increased to 25%"
"So, this is the way of the sword."
Lu Mingyuan looked at Zhu Xie in his hand, thinking.
The way of the sword is the way of moving forward.
Cut off all the unfair things and unfair people in the world.
The state that has troubled him for a long time was opened, and Lu Mingyuan raised the magic sword Zhu Xie and chopped it towards the position of the sky.
Then he left without looking back and rode the wind.
Boom!
A few seconds after he left, a towering black dragon with a big beard fell from the void, escaped into the Dragon Locking Well, and collapsed in an instant.
This dragon, which was kept by Emperor Shaoxing for hundreds of years, lost its life in vain.
However, this huge sword energy was extremely exaggerated, riding the wind and directly cutting off half of the back mountain of the Song Dynasty.
Lu Mingyuan, one sword to enter the Dao!
The Shaoxing Emperor fell to the ground, his face full of disbelief, looking at the beheaded dragon head.
His hair turned a lot whiter overnight.
