Conquering Myriad Worlds from the Mythical Three Kingdoms

Chapter 955 People from the Tang Dynasty
The internal energy separation competition proceeded smoothly.

But the plans couldn't keep up with the changes.

After Zhuge Liang sent invitations to other empires, they responded faster than ever before, especially the Tang Dynasty. The internal energy separation competition was still in progress when the Tang Dynasty's envoy delegation had already arrived.

Zhuge Liang understood that the other side intended to use this method to increase their understanding of the Star Han Empire.

After all, based on the initial contact, the Tang Dynasty understood that Xinghan was a reasonable ally, and the two sides signed an alliance and sent diplomatic envoys to each other.

This new delegation of envoys aims to increase our understanding of the Milky Way, building upon the work of the previous delegations.

After all, most of the intelligence actually came from exchanges between Xue Wanche and various officers.

The Tang Dynasty naturally took the opportunity to send a group of military generals, intending to make friends through martial arts and, incidentally, break through the restrictions imposed by the Xinghan on the Tang Dynasty's delegation.

During Wang Xuance's mission, his activities were always restricted. Although this was for the good of both sides, the Tang Dynasty still wanted to learn more.

When the Tang Dynasty envoy arrived, Zhuge Liang was truly troubled.

This really shows that plans can't keep up with changes. They really didn't expect the Tang Dynasty to be so carefree, sending more than ten people to break through the boundaries.

Since they've already come all this way, we can't just send them back. The two sides have just established diplomatic relations, so we have to consider the alliance.

"Guo Fengxiao, what do you plan to do?" Zhuge Liang summoned Guo Jia and threw the question at him.

Guo Jia is, after all, the chief planner and host, so he should be involved in this situation.

"I've asked Marquis Wen, and the officers and generals who have come this time are all quite capable. Moreover, the situation here in the Tang Dynasty is special. I plan to select some strong individuals from within the Tang Dynasty and have them fight in secret."

"As for the martial arts tournament, it should be enough to leave it to those who have broken through to the next level!"

Guo Jia was also a bit troubled. The main problem was that they actually wanted to cover up the existence of the Tang Dynasty.

However, the Tang Dynasty clearly wanted to deepen the ties between the two sides, better assess the strength of Xinghan, and facilitate the exchange of resources between them.

Of course, Xinghan also wanted to, otherwise he wouldn't have agreed to the alliance with the Tang Dynasty.

The problem lies with the Ming and Mongol Yuan dynasties; Xinghan currently does not want the Tang dynasty to have too much contact with either of them.

At least for now, that won't work. Triangles are stable, and Xinghan currently needs to profit by playing both sides. If Datang is brought in, the game will become even more intense, which is not in Xinghan's interest.

"Leave this matter to me. Guo Fengxiao, you continue to preside over the martial arts tournament. Prime Minister Zhuge, you stabilize the relationship between the Ming Dynasty and the Mongol Yuan Dynasty!"

Jia Xu walked in from outside and interrupted Zhuge Liang and Guo Jia's discussion.

Zhuge Liang frowned slightly. Jia Xu had previously been in complete control of communication with the Tang Dynasty, so entrusting the matter to Jia Xu was indeed the most appropriate choice.

But this shouldn't be Jia Xu's suggestion that he is now the prime minister with a comprehensive view of the situation.

After a moment of contemplation, Zhuge Liang did not react, because Jia Xu's plan was indeed a good one, and Jia Xu was the most suitable person to execute it, so he nodded.

"..." Jia Xu noticed Zhuge Liang's thoughts, but he did not point them out.

The handover of power between the old and new prime ministers was not yet completely over, and he wanted to see how Zhuge Liang would completely strip him of his power.

Although Mu Yi had made his decision and Zhuge Liang had proven his abilities, Jia Xu still wanted to test Zhuge Liang and assess whether he was truly qualified to succeed him.

"Then I'll leave first!"

Guo Jia sensed the strange atmosphere in the air and decisively chose to withdraw, not wanting to get involved in any trouble.

Lying flat is his current pursuit; he no longer has the same confidence in his own brain as before.

He did not intend to get involved in any conflicts before he recovered; he did not want to become a tool in someone else's hands and be controlled by others.

The best approach is to lie down and focus on completing your tasks.

Contrary to Guo Jia's expectations, Jia Xu and Zhuge Liang were not at each other's throats. Both understood the situation but remained silent.

Upon returning to the Netherworld, Jia Xu immediately sought out Lü Bu and asked him to select a dozen or so generals to serve as his representatives.

Although Jia Xu didn't understand martial arts, Lü Bu did.

"Remember, you must go all out. Ideally, you should win everything, but at the very least, you must avoid defeat. Understand?"

Jia Xu solemnly instructed Lü Bu that this time, unlike the previous confrontation with Xue Wanche, this was a true clash between imperial powers.

Although it was just a clash between individuals, it was also a microcosm of the clash between two empires.

The Tang Dynasty's forces are not all of them, so Xinghan must ensure that its victories outweigh its defeats for it to be meaningful.

This is a war that concerns the face of the empire, and there is no room for carelessness.

"Xiang Shaoyu, Zhao Yun, Dian Wei, Su, Luo Houluo, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Yue Fei, Lu Junyi, Taishi Ci, Ma Chao, Sun Ce, Xu Chu, Huang Zhong, Gan Ning!" Lü Bu rattled off a string of names in one breath.

"Ma Mengqi? Sun Bofu?" Jia Xu heard two unexpected names from inside.

"Can those two really fight?" Although Jia Xu didn't understand martial arts, he was familiar with the combat records between various generals and officers.

Especially considering the win-loss record between Ma Chao and Dian Wei, it can be said that Ma Chao has never won against Dian Wei even once.

"Don't worry, their strength is beyond your imagination. They are no longer juniors, but true powerhouses!" Lu Bu glanced at Jia Xu and assured him.

"Where are Xu Huang, Xiahou Yuan, and Xiahou Dun?" Jia Xu counted the number of people. Although the Tang Dynasty might not send all of them, they needed to prepare an equal number of people in advance.

“They are good at leading troops into battle, but they are not as good at fighting one-on-one!” Lu Bu shook his head.

Many generals and officers in Xinghan actually focused more on command and dispatch in the later stages, and very few insisted on the military situation.

"You've seen those Tang Dynasty envoys, how confident are you of winning?" Jia Xu asked thoughtfully.

"It's hard to say. Without a real fight, it's difficult to judge who will win or lose. The people coming from the other side are no ordinary opponents!" Lu Bu shook his head.

"You should ask Su about this; his infinite vision should be a good reference."

Jia Xu nodded knowingly and gathered a group of generals and officers according to Lü Bu's list, while also inviting the envoy from the Tang Dynasty.

The moment they appeared in the Netherworld, they immediately sensed each other's aura.

"Let's go, let's go meet them." Lu Bu, carrying his halberd, rode on Red Hare and called out to the others.

"I really don't want to go! I was even planning to fight you, Lü Bu!" Zhang Fei said, carrying his eighteen-foot spear with some dissatisfaction.

He had finally managed to pull off something big, but it turned out he had to use it on someone else, which really annoyed him.

"Third brother! This battle is a struggle for the empire, we must not be careless!" Guan Yu stroked his beard, stopping Zhang Fei's grumbling.

To be honest, he didn't have much hope for Zhang Fei challenging Lü Bu; he was just unconditionally on Zhang Fei's side out of brotherhood.

In his view, fighting against the people of the Tang Dynasty was a good thing for Zhang Fei.

"Just take them down one by one!"

Xiang Shaoyu also kept his eyes closed. He was a little disappointed that he couldn't fight Lu Bu directly, but being able to fight against experts from other empires was still a pleasant surprise.

Glancing at Zhang Fei and Xiang Shaoyu, Sulinara felt as if she were seeing a ghost. How had these two become so ferocious? There was no future where she could defeat Zhang Fei; all futures would converge at the moment of Zhang Fei's outburst, and then abruptly end, with no future in sight.

As for Xiang Yu, the claim that no one could defeat him in the future made Sulinarari doubt his own eyesight.

Look at Zhao Yun, they still fought eight thousand rounds without a clear winner.

Turning back to look at Guan Yu, one sees a future severed.

Most others also need eight hundred moves to get results.

Sulinara silently closed his eyes. As his overall strength increased, the significance of his eyes became less and less.

The ability to foresee the future is useless; there are monsters everywhere. He picked up his cross-shaped spear and silently followed.

Hopefully, the Tang Dynasty's opponents will be stronger.

"They're heading this way too, what an exaggerated display of power!"

Although the two sides did not meet, the surging momentum they exuded had already clashed.

"Let's make this clear first, you have to follow my lead when it comes to the order of battle!" Yue Fei said helplessly.

Managing such a group of formidable generals was quite a headache for him.

Fortunately, the people still trusted Yue Fei's command and control, which allowed him to keep them in check; otherwise, Jia Xu was afraid that these guys would start fighting amongst themselves.

Both sides were moving very fast, and after clearly sensing each other, they instantly appeared in each other's field of vision.

When Sulinarari saw the opposing team's lineup, he frowned, but showed no sign of panic. He glanced at them and confirmed that they were all highly skilled players.

Their lineup was almost identical, especially the shortest guy on the other side, who, like Xiang Shaoyu, saw that none of the many futures he envisioned could defeat the opponent.

But Sulinarari was unfazed; having seen so many monsters, she naturally felt no pressure.

Anyway, when the fighting starts, they'll definitely gouge out each other's eyes; the future we can't see is the future we'll truly fight for.

There were no excessive formalities between the two sides; they made friends through martial arts, so naturally, martial arts was the channel for communication.

We're all martial artists, so let's not bother with all that formality. We'll get to know each other better after the fight is over.

"Who among you wants to lead the charge?" Yue Fei glanced at the other side and then asked calmly.

The strategy of Tian Ji's horse racing seems completely meaningless. The opposing team has no weaklings, and even if Yue Fei didn't have Su's abilities, he could easily figure it out.

"Watch me beat the other side into a pig's head!"

Ma Chao said arrogantly, his fighting spirit was bursting at the moment, and he couldn't wait for a powerful enemy to come out and fight him.

"Then you go!" Yue Fei nodded, wanting to see the other side's attitude.

Ma Chao charged forward on his horse and then challenged the experts on the Tang Dynasty's side to a duel.

"Xinghan, Ma Chao, Ma Mengqi, who will fight me!"

"I'll meet you!"

"Luo Cheng of the Great Tang Dynasty, I have come to fight you!"

Luo Cheng, dressed in white, brandished his Five-Hook Divine Flying Spear and charged out, engaging Ma Chao in a fierce battle on horseback.

Both were experts, and their two spears slammed into each other with explosive force. There were no dazzling lights or shadows; both concentrated all their power into their weapons, unleashing the most ferocious power.

Long spear against long spear, the brilliance that erupted in that instant shattered everything around them, and the sweeping shockwave even made everyone watching realize the strength of the two sides.

In the blink of an eye, the two had already exchanged dozens of moves.

"This is no simple matter. It's probably not as easy for us to win as it is for them!" Qin Qiong said slowly, watching the fierce battle on the field.

"Marshal Qin, boost the enemy's morale and diminish our own! Lead me into battle and let's win the first round!"

As they were talking, Pei Yuanqing stepped forward from the crowd to challenge Qin Qiong to a duel, to which Qin Qiong could only manage a wry smile.

Like Yue Fei, he also wanted to restrain these fierce generals, but it was really difficult.

"Pei Yuanqing of the Great Tang Dynasty, please enlighten me!"

Pei Yuanqing, carrying a pair of eight-sided plum blossom bright silver hammers, immediately attracted everyone's attention upon his appearance. Just one glance was enough to tell that he was a highly skilled cultivator, and a very strong one at that.

"Xinghan, Dian Wei, let's fight!"

Dian Wei grabbed a pair of halberds and charged towards Pei Yuanqing. Although he preferred to fight the short man, Pei Yuanqing was also quite capable and worthy of a fight.

With overwhelming power and fierce lightning, Dian Wei showed no mercy, unleashing his full strength in a single blow, slamming Pei Yuanqing into the ground.

"A worthy opponent! Let's fight next!"

Pei Yuanqing got up from the ground without any injury and challenged Dian Wei to a battle on the ground. Compared to the heavens, their cultivation was more suited to arm wrestling on the ground.

Dian Wei gladly accepted the invitation, and the two humanoid Tyrannosaurus Rex began to wrestle on the ground.

Dian Wei swooped down from the sky, wielding his halberd in a horizontal slash, creating a shockwave of flames that distorted the air as he struck directly at Pei Yuanqing.

However, Pei Yuanqing simply slammed down with his hammer, not only shattering Dian Wei's probing attack, but also creating a mushroom-shaped flame that twisted and rippled in the void.

Dian Wei unleashed a punch, and the same umbrella-shaped flames twisted and collided, instantly distorting the center of the collision.

Seeing this, the two immediately dropped their weapons and clashed together at top speed, engaging in pure hand-to-hand combat.

Without the suppression of cloud energy, their physical bodies are clearly more lethal than weapons.

The rumbling sound of the earth shattering never stopped. Fortunately, it was the wilderness of the Netherworld; otherwise, even the city walls would probably have been torn down by the two of them.

"Yuchi Gong of the Great Tang Dynasty, who dares to fight me!" Unable to contain himself, Yuchi Gong charged out, brandishing his double whips.

"Xinghan, Zhang Yide of Yan has come to meet you!"

Zhang Fei, carrying his eighteen-foot spear, stepped out from the crowd. For some reason, the moment he saw his opponent, he felt an overwhelming desire to test his skills.

Since it was a one-on-one free-for-all anyway, Zhang Fei didn't care who he fought, and on a whim, he gladly went into battle.

With a burst of strength from both arms, the eighteen-foot spear pierced through the terrifying air shockwave almost instantly, and then, with a deafening roar, thrust towards Yuchi Gong.

"Ha!" Yuchi Gong roared, raising his steel whip high and slashing at the eighteen-foot spear.

The steel whip and the serpent spear collided like a comet hitting the earth, each unleashing all its power and creating a spatial upheaval.

　Some readers have expressed that they don't want to see anything like martial arts demonstrations, so I temporarily adjusted part of the text and revised some things. However, it's still impossible to skip directly. This serves as both a transition and a prelude.

　　Readers who don't like this section can skip it; it probably won't be too long.
