Chapter 212 The emperor is about to die, Lao Shou country thief!The yellow sand wears golden armor in all battles!Promoted to Captain Wilderness!
"The merit of all ages is just one step away..."

Yujing City, deep in the imperial city, let out a weak sigh, and then was interrupted by coughing.

The patient is about seven feet tall, thin, and wearing a bright yellow crown suit.

He described himself as haggard and exhausted, sitting in front of the copybook and reviewing the memorials, exuding a natural imperial arrogance in every gesture.

His eyes stared at those memorials, as if looking down on the world, looking down on all life in Kyushu.

just.

It's cold up high.

In the eyes of the world, he will always look cold.

Every time it goes to court.

The emperor's eyes opened, and there were two peerless fierce lights descending from the sky. No matter whether they were eunuchs or courtiers, they were too frightened to breathe.

With one word, the country can be destroyed!

A will will affect the fate of thousands of people.

Heaven and earth are arbitrary,

good at maneuvering,

Ruthless!

This is the King David in the eyes of his courtiers.

Therefore.

David's subjects always said:

"Your Majesty Fu Wei is domineering, and the ministers are just following the imperial edict."

This was an ordinary day for the old emperor.

This is the king of the David Dynasty, the father of hundreds of millions of people living in Kyushu, the apex of world power, and the owner of the three elixir of the Son of Heaven.

pity.

He is 49 years old this year.

A sudden and vicious disease finally made the king fall into an inevitable fate—the elixir of the emperor contained the terrible curse of King Zhou You.

Even though the old emperor has all the good things in the world, "Is it the king's land in the whole world, is it the king's subject on the shore of the land", but he can't own one thing,
That is Changsheng Jiushi!
Anyone who eats the elixir of the Son of Heaven will die with a short lifespan!

"Cough, cough, cough."

The old emperor became more and more haggard, but still held power, insisted on reviewing every memorial, and insisted on implementing the national policy of "conquering the Western Regions first, and then destroying the grasslands".

Just because-

Simply defeating the Grassland Royal Court will always be only a temporary solution, not a permanent solution.

Even if the Xiongnu, the new Xiongnu, and even the new and new Xiongnu in the future are defeated and wiped out, as long as the two major regions of the Western Regions and Liaodong still exist, the emerging powers of the grassland can plunder the population and wealth of these two semi-barbaric areas, thereby gaining more Within 30 to [-] years, it will rise, become strong, and finally go south to invade the Central Plains.

in contrast.

If the David Wu Dynasty can completely occupy the Western Regions and Liaodong, it will be like two chains, tightly imprisoning the future development of the grassland.

This point is the long-term judgment that the old emperor secretly made since he ascended the throne.

and so.

He sent troops from several prefectures to attack Liaodong.

At that time.

There also appeared a "Wilder Captain", called Zhang Baisui, who made great achievements in the Liaodong battlefield with one against five, and was as famous as another veteran Sima Zhongda.

Unfortunately.

Zhang Baisui could not get the "Great Desolation Classic", and had no hope of Marquis Wu, and gradually faded out of the sight of the old emperor. Only Sima Zhongda jumped up and was promoted to the governor.

With the end of the Liaodong War.

The ratio of the barbarians in Liaodong to the Han people has gradually balanced, and in time, they will definitely be included in the actual control of the David Wu Dynasty.

but--

The Western Regions are beyond reach!

Therefore.

It was the old emperor who insisted on going his own way and set off a war of "hollowing out the Western Regions".

When the spring is warm and the flowers are blooming, all the soldiers from Kyushu will come out, the thunder will sweep the caves, and the 36 countries in the Western Regions will be destroyed in one go!

If it succeeds, it will definitely cut off the grassland's century-old Huyun and bring hundreds of years of peace to the David Wu Dynasty. It can be called: a merit of all ages!

just.

Nobody would have guessed—

"God wants me to die!"

"Zhen, I really want to live another 500 years!"

The old emperor clenched his fists tightly and ordered left and right:
"Chaoyi, go to Weiyang Palace."

"only."

Shocked by the thunder, the king's chariot drove out of the palace.

…………

Weiyang Palace.

The old emperor sat on the throne, his face seemed to be radiant, his eyes were as sharp as a red-hot blade, and he scanned the officials below who dared not breathe.

He secretly recalled the past:

"Since Emperor Wu, I, David, have conquered the world for 50 and 70 years. I have won many battles and beheaded the soldiers of all countries. The number is [-], which shocked the world."

"In the four seas, there is no one who fears me like a tiger and wolf, and dares not look north to Kyushu."

"Across the grassland to the north, to the quicksand to the west, to the East China Sea in the east, and to Beihu in the south."

"Wherever there are people, there will be no servants!"

For the David Wu Dynasty, the old emperor was full of martial virtues, and within a generation, the territory of Kyushu Huaxia was expanded to the extreme.

What an honor?

How proud?

But the expansion itself has also brought heavy social pressure.

Except for the Kyushu warriors, almost everyone has become a victim.

Tyranny is fiercer than a tiger!
The ever-increasing corvée and exorbitant taxes have led to the outbreak of nearly hundreds of uprisings among the people at the bottom in just a few decades.

even.

As the people at the bottom have more and more experience in rebellion, they have also explored and mastered some "rituals" of rebellion, such as "the people of the country riot", such as "princes and generals, I would rather have a kind", such as "cutting the white snake", such as "Chu Although there are three households", such as "Yellow Turban", etc., there are many.

The people are weak.

Even with the help of "rituals", they are still like straws, easily killed by Kyushu warriors, rebelling again and again, and failing again and again.

The people are strong again.

The pain, suffering and suffering endured by thousands.

They were silent, but they never forgot.

The vast will gathered by hundreds of millions of souls deeply fills every corner of society, pushing the wheel of history to roll forward.

Waiting for the day of eruption, waiting for the time of revenge!

Just like when Jiang Chen killed Fengshen pterosaur.

Hundreds of human souls, with blood-red eyes and deep hatred, rushed forward one after another, covering the back of the Fengshen pterosaur.

Their weight made the damn man-eating dragon beast deeply restrained, unable to escape, and finally became the soul of Jiang Chen's sword!
And the old emperor.

Before he was about to die, he felt the weight of hundreds of millions of living people—it seemed to be lighter than a feather, but it was actually heavier than Mount Tai!
and so.

"The merit of all ages is one step away..."

Only the old emperor could sigh like this in the depths of the palace.

but.

He also deeply knows another sentence:

"Take one step into the air, and you will be doomed!"

in the hall.

The officials prostrated themselves on the ground, not daring to take a breath, silently waiting for the emperor's order.

Unexpectedly.

A decree that was greatly unexpected was issued suddenly:
"Replace the national policy."

"Let the envoys tame the Western Regions, and march northward to the grasslands with a mighty army."

Dozens of military officials tried to give up their deadly remonstrance, unwilling to give up the easy-to-get war gains, but under the restraint of Prime Minister Sima Zhongda, the disputes in the court quickly subsided.

In just a few days, the court gathered a group of outstanding envoys, who were ordered by the king to go to remote places in the Western Regions to read out the national policy.

The old emperor sat on the throne, condescending, staring at Sima Zhongda, a veteran of the four dynasties. Although he was over a hundred years old, with gray hair and a stooped figure, he still devoted himself to the country's worries and worries.

Think about this.

The old emperor was quite satisfied and thought:

"This is the loyal soldier of my David Dynasty!"

"When I leave, Zhongda's loyalty and talent can be used as a pillar of support for Tuogu."

"Although Zhongda was favored by the greedy wolf when he was young, he was the prime minister of a powerful minister, but the crown prince is only eighteen years old. Depending on his age, he can be tortured to death."

but--

If Jiang Chen himself had been present and learned about the past life of the "loyal national scholar" Sima Zhongda in detail, he would have exhaled in surprise.

Call it:
"Sima Yi!"

In the history of China in the previous life, the old Shouguo thief who killed all the emperors of Wei Dynasty and his old enemy Zhuge Kongming - Sima Yi!

…………

Prime Minister's House.

Sima Zhongda leaned on the grand master's chair, with a gloomy face, glanced coldly at the shadow corner, and said:

"I have dispatched several elite confidants to join the envoys of the Western Regions."

"Worthy of being the projection of Emperor Gaozu of Jin Dynasty, it really has a tricky strategy."

Shadow secretly said something in his heart, and then he opened his mouth to make a promise:
"Prime Minister, if Loulan returns to Luojiao, the content of the ceremony you want will definitely appear before your eyes."

"It's a word."

Although Sima Zhongda was old and dim-sighted, there was a deep murderous intent in his cloudy eyes.

In fact.

This is the truth behind the Mission!
The old emperor suddenly had a serious illness and was about to die, and he didn't care about Lou Lan's gain or loss. This gave Prime Minister Sima Zhongda a chance to play tricks and send some secret confidants to the envoys.

And his real intention is to exchange the hard work and blood sweat of the Qingzhou Army for several months in exchange for a mysterious ceremony,

A mysterious ritual capable of subverting the David Wu Dynasty.

The shadow gradually faded, leaving the last two words:

"It seems that some unpredictable changes have taken place within the Qingzhou Army. I hope that the Prime Minister will give some quick things to help the envoys reach Loulan as soon as possible."

"It's too late—it's a change!"

Sima Zhongda was expressionless, and raised his hand to pick up the information about Loulan:
"On the surface, there is no Marquis Wu."

"But in the dark, there are the corpses of the Jianguo Five Wolf Generals, as well as - two quasi-sacred weapons?"

…………

Night, the capital of Loulan.

Yan Zhen'e's face was pale, staring at the broken quasi-sacred weapon, his body trembled more and more, "Master Youbu, I, Loulan, can I survive the 'line of life' you mentioned?"

"After only seven or eight hours of fighting, a quasi-sacred weapon left by Yanzu has been destroyed. The power of the three Marquises is really terrifying..."

between words.

Every time Yan Zhen'e thinks of the horror of defending the city in the daytime, there are mountains of corpses and seas of blood everywhere, wreckage and broken arms everywhere, pain, wailing and death are endless...

In just one day, Loulan lost a quasi-sacred weapon, plus a full [-] Loulan soldiers.

The bloody offensive and defensive battles during the day made everyone deeply feel the horror of Marquis Wu!
And the other side.

The loss of the Qingzhou Army is almost negligible.

Hong Wu, Liu Chuanzhi, and Wei Anguo, the three Marquises of Wei, had huge advantages, and the number of casualties was reduced to just a few dozen.

and so.

Loulan Wang Yan has completely lost his belief in victory in suppressing evil, and he regards the "sliver of life" that Master You said as a life-saving straw.

The right divination master bowed to offer advice:
"My lord, if we use the artifact normally, we will definitely not be able to survive until the 'silver line of life' arrives."

Hear this.

Yan Zhen'e immediately sensed the subtext, and said with great joy:

"Could it be that there is also a way to use the divine weapon abnormally?"

The right divination master smiled and said:
"My lord, the last artifact left in my Loulan is a grain of constant sand left by Yan Zu, which forms a world of its own, containing hundreds of thousands of square meters of yellow sand!"

"If you take the initiative to destroy this artifact, it will release endless yellow sand."

"Then."

The right fortune teller grinned grimly:
"Tens of thousands of Qingzhou troops will surely sink into the sea of ​​sand and never recover!"

"Good good!"

Yan Zhen's eyebrows were filled with joy, he said three good words in succession, and frowned again:

"Why didn't you tell me earlier?"

The right fortune teller explained:

"Yesterday, for unknown reasons, the rain was fierce and lasted for a long time. If one hundred million square meters of yellow sand were released rashly, the spiritual power of the earth may be consumed by the natural rain."

Yan Zhen'e was stunned, and hurriedly said:
"Release the yellow sand quickly, if it continues, there may be rebels and thieves in the capital tonight surrendering!"

"Follow your Majesty's orders."

The right divination master prostrated himself on the ground, with his loyal face pressed against the ground, but with a sneering smile on his face, he thought to himself:

"Loulan is based on the divine bird peacock and the bull-headed ghost, and is protected by two quasi-sacred artifacts. Loulan's five wolves will secretly guard it, and there are tens of thousands of soldiers. It can be called the overlord of a small country."

"Our old mother's believers have corrupted Loulan secretly and preached for decades, but they have only corrupted half of the subjects."

"But now, with the help of the Qingzhou Army, these obstacles are quickly removed, and then the Qingzhou Army is dismissed with the help of the David court."

"Two birds with one stone!"

"We, Luo Jiao, are the final winners of this battle to conquer the Western Regions, Jie Jie Jie..."

The right divination master came back to his senses, and pinched the thick flesh of his palm hard, the pain was irritating, so that he would not laugh out loud.

…………

night.

Beijiao Mountain.

Jiang Chen inexplicably felt an ominous premonition, and immediately sped up the action at hand.

"Emperor's medicine: the spirit stone of the dragon's veins", "Minister's medicine: 300-year-old deep-sea turtle shell", "Adjuvant medicine: seven-inch snake scales contaminated with the blood of a real dragon", and the "envoy" harvested from Xili City. Medicine: Millennium Zixuan Flower", placed together in front of the bronze tripod.

He worked hard to collect all the spiritual materials and medicines needed by the captain of the wilderness, and found thousands of people in the wilderness without a country, and finally waited for the time when all the hardships came to an end.

Zhang Baisui has experienced dozens of battles, and has a very keen sense of war. He also noticed that the atmosphere tonight is a bit weird and dull. He glanced at the direction of the capital in the south, turned his head and urged:

"Hurry up."

"According to the order of earth, water, fire and wind, put them into the bronze cauldron successively."

"Yes, old chief."

Jiang Chen nodded and said yes. First, he put the spirit stone belonging to the dragon vein into the bottom of the bronze cauldron, and then put the palms of both hands on the surface of the tripod.

Then, the whole body was full of qi and blood.

The majestic and fiery blood flowed into the tripod surface.

In an instant.

In just a few breaths of time, the entire bronze cauldron became hot and red, almost melting.

gradually.

Stimulated by the scorching qi and blood, the spirit stone belonging to the dragon veins expanded and shattered into dozens of pieces, and then traces of the heavy earth breath escaped.

Zhang Baisui immediately shouted:
"Okay, now, put the deep sea turtle shell!"

however.

If Jiang Chen sensed the danger, he turned his head instinctively, and with the powerful eyes blessed by the heavenly eyes, he stared at the capital of Loulan to the south.

He couldn't help but tear his eyes, and couldn't believe what he saw.

boom!
The whistling of the wind, the rolling of the air, the yellow dragon soars up, and the yellow sand dances wildly across the sky, sweeping across the sky, swallowing all the [-] Qingzhou troops...
