dawn of dynasty

Chapter 348 Fengyan, the patron saint of the zodiac (5000 words~)

Breaking the warlord, in the conference room.

A number of senior military officers were present.

After everyone listened to the battle report from the Chongling Clan, their expressions were a little solemn.

No one pretended to be angry and said things like "It's unreasonable, Shen Guanye dared to attack Baixi City, it's so arrogant" to please King Yan Zhao.

Because Shen Guanye is very strong, no matter how flattering the people present are, they can't tell lies with their eyes open - the Xia Nan Clan's top-level combat power has almost caught up with the Po Warlords, so what's weird about daring to attack Baixi City? Of? What's so good about this?

In fact, everyone felt the difficulty of the enemy.

"Tell me, what do you think?"

King Yan Zhao tapped his fingers slowly on the table.

After a while, someone said: "The Xia Nan Clan will start from Chongling Province. This is something we have guessed a long time ago. It is even expected that they will attack Baixi City first, but we did not expect that Baixi City will It fell so quickly.”

At this point, the man changed his subject.

"Although the incident happened suddenly, we had made arrangements in advance, and now we are just following the steps. Your Highness, what do you mean?"

King Yan Zhao nodded slightly.

"Yes, the Xia Nan clan is indeed an opponent that cannot be underestimated. Even if we win in the future, we can't do anything to Shen Guanye. She is still known as a 'hero' now. But in terms of overall strength Compared with the number of troops, we are far superior in terms of consumption and durability. I believe that we will win in the end!"

Someone answered.

At this moment, King Yan Zhao's secretary knocked on the door and walked in with a serious expression. He walked quickly to King Yan Zhao and whispered something in his ear. King Yan Zhao's expression changed slightly.

After a while, he spoke: "Both the Jiyan Valve and the Shiliang Valve have moved abnormally."

"Damn it! I knew these families wouldn't let this opportunity go!"

Hearing this, someone immediately said angrily.

The Po Warlords are very powerful, and together with allies like the Chongling Lords, they have enough land for six provinces and more. With such strength, it has not been able to expand outwards in these years, naturally because its enemies are also very strong - at least they cannot be wiped out easily.

The warlords adjacent to Po Warlord and Chongling Clan almost formed a big alliance, and firmly "locked" Po Warlord in the southwest corner of Tianxia. Jiyan Clan and Shiliang Clan were two of them. To the north, the central government looms like a dark cloud.

Therefore, for many years, the broken warlords have not been able to expand much.

Now, Zeng Mingwu died suddenly, and the central government was caught in an internal struggle for power and had no time to take care of other things. This was a great opportunity for them to break the expansion of the warlords.

Unexpectedly, they haven't taken action against these companies yet, but they have taken the initiative to attack them.

However, the shadow hanging over the north of Po Warlord is no longer there. If Jiyan Clan and Shiliang Clan don't take advantage of this opportunity to take action, they will only be swept away by their Po Warlord in the future like the autumn wind sweeping away fallen leaves.

From the standpoint of Jiyan Clan and Shiliang Clan, if we don’t fight now, when will we wait?

In the current situation, everyone has actually deduced it. After all, under the circumstances where many conditions have been set out, the choices of insiders and outsiders are actually very limited.

Therefore, although the expressions of the senior officers present were serious, there was not much surprise.

But what King Yan Zhao said next made everyone suddenly change their expressions.

"In addition, the Wuqu Clan has also undergone unusual changes."

"Wu Qu Clan? Damn it! Are they going to attack me, the Po War Lord, too? Could it be that they regard us as soft persimmons?"

The faces of everyone present were not very good.

Among the many great warlords, the one closest to the Po Warlords is actually the Wu Qu Clan, which is much closer to the Po Warlords than the central government's sphere of influence.

Wuquxing and Pojunxing are the two closest stars.

However, the Wuqu Clan has always been very "ruly" and rarely breaks the warlord's bad habits. Although there will be conflicts between the two parties, they are mostly settled and will not intensify the conflicts.

Unexpectedly, the Wuqu Clan would make some changes this time. This was really beyond everyone's expectations!

"Shen Guanye, I really underestimated him!"

King Yan Zhao snorted coldly and said.

……

When the news that the Wuqu Clan had made some changes and that Bing Feng was targeting Po Warlord from afar reached the Xia Nan Clan, it was already a few days later. This really brought a big surprise to Shen Guanye.

He asked why he had once again spread merit and money, and the momentum was so much greater than expected. It turned out that it was Bai Huaian, the uncle, who had persuaded the Wuqu clan!

That's right, the reason why Jiyan Clan and Shiliang Clan chose this time to launch an attack with the Po Warlord was naturally because he sent someone to talk things over in private.

People who break the warlord can see that they fight for manpower and consumption. The Xia Nan clan will definitely not be able to fight the warlord. Can he still not see it?

Shen Guanye never thought that he could withstand the pressure of the warlord by himself.

The Po Warlord wanted to subdue the Xia Nan Clan with overwhelming force. Wouldn't he find something to do for the Po Warlord? Find something to do for the broken warlord from other directions?

It’s not like the warlords don’t have enemies, and the enemies of their enemies are their friends.

If he doesn't find allies, Shen Guanye will use millions of people to deal with the hundreds of millions of people under King Yan Zhao. Even if King Yan Zhao is not very popular, the gap is still huge. One person on the other side can defeat the millions of people under Shen Guanye with just one spit. Drowned, he is crazy!

Therefore, Shen Guanye will definitely find allies, and King Yan Zhao also knows that he will definitely find allies, and he will definitely find allies such as Jiyan Clan and Shiliang Clan, but Wuqu Clan will also join the game, that is, both sides will Not expected.

This!

It’s all thanks to Bai Huaian!

It has to be said that Shen Guanye did not hesitate to go into danger alone to save Bai Huai'an. This was really the right move and the most cost-effective deal.

Although at that time, he had little utilitarian intention in doing so, it was just out of friendship and reason, and he did not want to have an uneasy conscience or feel guilty.

But the fact is that he saved Bai Huaian and recruited the Bai family, and he did make a profit.

Bai Huaian is not only a good hand in domestic affairs, but also excellent in lobbying, even better than he imagined. He doesn't know how Bai Huaian persuaded the Wuqu clan.

Nowadays, he no longer has to do everything himself. Many things are taken care of by his subordinates. In the process, his subordinates will bring surprises to him from time to time. The more talented the person, the more so.

Of course, there are a lot of bad things.

This is unavoidable.

Shen Guanye's originally rather serious heart suddenly relaxed.

He had been prepared to take the pressure before.

The Jiyan Clan and Shiliang Clan lack top-level combat power, while the Xianan Clan lacks population and military strength. It can be said that both sides will benefit from cooperation. Is it possible to persuade Ji Yan, Shiliang and other warlords to jointly deal with the threat of the broken warlords? , Shen Guanye is not worried.

The only difference lies in how many companies can be persuaded, and whether the companies that are persuaded will not work hard.

But even if the two sides cooperate, the overall strength is still weaker than that of the broken warlords.

If he wants to achieve a strategic stalemate on the front line and continue to develop steadily in the rear, he will have to bear a lot of pressure. Now that it is better, once the Wuqu clan joins, the one who has to bear more pressure will become the broken warlord.

……

The sudden outbreak of war in the southwest region affected many people's hearts and attracted considerable attention in Tianxia.

After all, this involves two of the five major warlords. Although the third largest force is not as comprehensive as Po Warlord and Wuqu Clan, it is very popular. Its top-level combat power is even stronger than Wuqu Clan, approaching Po Warlord.

Although the remaining participants are far less powerful than Po Warlord, Wuqu Clan and Xia Nan Clan, they are all well-known warlords in the country.

This move by all parties can be said to have instantly disrupted the situation in the southwest region and even the central southwest region. Even though all parties are still in the testing stage of each other and are far from the time when a large-scale decisive battle breaks out, they have also attracted a lot of attention.

However, the entire Tianxia is currently raging with war, and the war in the southwest is not the largest, most important, or attracting the most attention. In the territory of the central government, due to the death of Zeng Mingwu, several mountaintops have been locked in fierce internal struggles in order to compete for the highest power, and they are only one step away from a fight.

Once there is a fight, the central government will exist in name only and split into two or three large warlords. At that time, the name of the central government will probably fall on Helian Yongchang.

This matter is actually in progress. The Tianlong clan has lost the leader of Qingjiao Lair and Zeng Mingwu, and is destined to be unable to secure the position of the central government. Who among the remaining people has the best chance to take over the burden of the central government?

Of course it’s Helian Yongchang!

He was originally a candidate for the supreme commander, and even had a much higher chance of winning than Zeng Mingwu. If Zen Master Dahui hadn't felt that Zeng Mingwu's personality, character and philosophy were more suitable for Tianxia at that time and secretly favored Zeng Mingwu, He Lian Yongchang became the supreme commander.

Now that Zeng Mingwu has died and the Tianlong Clan is about to fall apart, who else is more suitable than Helian Yongchang to take over the position of supreme commander?

There is another important reason, that is, there is only one level 14 lair in the entire Tianxia - the lair of the ghost sect's ghost sect.

In terms of emotion and reason, Helian Yongchang should be the one to take the lead.

In order to legitimately take over the position of supreme commander, Helian Yongchang did his best to resist the invasion of Fusang Kingdom without any deception.

The Northeast region has become the area with the most intense fighting and the heaviest casualties today. The Fusang Kingdom's attacks are so fast and fierce that the ghost clans are retreating one after another. Many areas have fallen - and this is just the Fusang Kingdom. If a part of the army were to attack with the strength of the whole country, the ghost clan would not be able to fight back at all, and they would probably be lost and exiled in a few months.

It's hard to say, not even a chance to go into exile.

And this third place is the battlefield opened by the coalition forces led by the Tai A Clan, the Bilong Clan, and the Star Kingdom.

Originally, because of the participation of the Star Kingdoms, this battlefield should be the most intense and stressful.

However, due to the sudden outbreak of civil war in the Star Kingdom, a large number of the Star Kingdom's troops were restrained, so that the combat power originally planned to be invested in the southeastern battlefield could not be realized at all, and the Bilong clan almost became a lonely battle.

Therefore, on this battlefield, the coalition forces composed of Tai'a Clan, Jiandai Clan, etc. actually had the upper hand. Chu Qingshan, the commander of Tai'a Clan, was indeed righteous. After gaining the upper hand, seeing that the ghost clan could not stand alone, he actually sent A large group of people went to the Gui Clan and together with the Gui Clan resisted the attack of the Fuso Kingdom.

The two major warlords joined forces, plus some small warlords who felt the righteousness of the two commanders Helian Yongchang and Chu Qingshan and sent troops to support the ghost clan clan.

The pace of the Fuso Kingdom's invasion has also slowed down, and it is no longer as aggressive as it was in the first few months.

The fourth place left is the southwest area where Shen Guanye is located.

Helian Yongchang and Chu Qingshan understood the righteousness so well, but it seemed that they, the warlords who were still fighting among themselves, were ignorant. Therefore, several families more or less sent some people to the front line to provide support.

Shen Guanye didn't have many troops at hand, so he didn't send many troops. Moreover, the Gui Clan and the Xia Nan Clan were located in the far northeast and the other in the southwest. It could be said that they were separated by thousands of miles from each other.

A large number of ordinary people's legions were sent to support them, and it was not known how long it would be before the ghost clan arrived.

Although there were not many troops sent, Shen Guanye sent all elites. Cen Lingxiao, a top master with two 14th-level heroic spirits, personally led a hundred masters to the battlefield.

These one hundred masters are all masters of level 7 or above, and there are many masters like Professor Lu among them.

In the past two years, Professor Lu's strength has increased significantly. He is now an 11th-level Spring and Autumn Confucian scholar. An 11th-level Spring and Autumn Confucian scholar, his combat power is already stronger than that of most 12th-level masters. With the blessing of "wind", it can reach the 12th level in a short time and have the combat power of an ordinary 13th level strong man.

And it just so happens that there is one person on the battlefield of the ghost clan who can activate "Leave a Reply to the Sad Wind", and that is Shen Guanyu's sworn brother Xu Chaolong.

In two years, the war has greatly trained and transformed Xu Chaolong. Now he has been promoted to level 7, and his combat power is comparable to that of a level 9 master. Even Shen Guanyu has now reached level 6, and his combat power is comparable to that of an eighth level master. He is said to be Now that he is a master, entering the country is not unpleasant.

Not only that, Shen Guanye also secretly signed contracts with masters such as Cen Lingxiao, Lu Boxiang, and Professor Lu as much as possible for the Longxiang knights he recruited.

Now, he couldn't expose all the Dragon Knights he had recruited - he had only had the Dragon Knights' lair for such a short time, how could he recruit so many Dragon Knights? It looks like a ghost at first glance!

But it is still possible to secretly give a few of the Dragon Knights to Professor Lu and wait for him.

First of all, the quantity is not large, so it will not cause confusion to the outside world.

Secondly, since the Dragon Knights' lair cannot produce that many Dragon Knights, shouldn't Professor Lu and the others be allowed to subdue the wild Dragon Knights? Although, it is indeed incredible that several great masters have all surrendered the Dragon Knights in a short period of time, and some have surrendered more than one.

In other words, Professor Lu now has three 13th-level Heroic Spirits on hand, and with the ability to unleash the combat power of a 13th-level Apocalypse in a short period of time, the overall combat effectiveness can be said to be close to that of a 13th-level master.

In addition, the thought in his heart that "the revenge of ten lifetimes can still be repaid" has been brewing for several years, and the lethality is so terrifying that even a 13th-level master will fall down if he is not careful.

Shen Guanye not only sent a hundred masters to help out, but also sent two groups of Tiangang God and Earth Evil God.

This is a layer of insurance provided by Shen Guanye to his men. To him, heroic spirits are never as valuable as human lives, even rare and powerful divine heroic spirits.

Two groups of Tiangang Gods and Earthly Evil Gods were sent to follow, and Shen Guanye was mentally prepared for the [-] Tiangang Gods and Earthly Evil Gods to be annihilated.

Moreover, with the speed at which Tiangang God and Earth Evil God are being born, the two groups cannot bear the loss.

In a short period of time, he had gathered two more groups of Tiangang Disha!

Finally, there are Frost Death Soldiers.

This is mainly what Chi Hun means. Frost Frost Death Soldier has been training with Red Hun for a long time. It's time to go to the battlefield to temper. Only under the fierce fire of the battlefield can real gold be produced.

Frost Death Soldier has now been promoted to level 11, and even his skills have changed a lot, becoming much more powerful than before.

Among the one hundred people, it can be said that they are the third echelon after Cen Lingxiao and Professor Lu - Cen Lingxiao is in his own echelon, and Professor Lu is in the second echelon.

……

Liu Zhiwu got off work and walked home.

Nowadays, the breeding industry in the territory has developed. Although the development is somewhat partial, there are no cattle, sheep, and even few pigs. The current environment of the territory is still not suitable for the survival of these animals.

But the breeding of chickens, ducks and geese is okay, and the breeding of fish, shrimps, crabs, and loaches is booming. There are also snakes, crocodiles, and many strange meat poultry, all of which are being raised well.

Provided rich meat to the people.

In this way, there is no need for hunting teams to hunt everywhere to fill the meat gap.

Now Liu Zhiwu has changed his job and became a small leader of the security brigade. In his free time, he only goes to the mountains to hunt with his friends and perform tooth hunting rituals.

On the street, pedestrians were coming and going, and it was a bustling scene. It seemed that the war on the front line had not affected Xia Nancheng at all.

When the war first started, Liu Zhiwu was a little worried, because even though people like him served in the security brigade, there was a possibility that they would be dragged into the battlefield when the war got serious.

Catching young men has been around since ancient times.

Not only Liu Zhiwu, but the entire Xia Nan Clan was actually a little worried.

But as the war continued, everyone found that the fighting on the front line did not seem to affect Xia Nanchang - not only did the enemy not approach the city, but even the expected frequent disruptions to production and life did not occur.

Everyone should eat, drink, and work as if the war never happened.

What Liu Zhiwu was worried about never happened, and over time, he became relieved.

Now this life is really better than the gods!

Liu Zhiwu was carrying the food he bought on the road, listening to the noise and shouting along the street, feeling the lively atmosphere of people coming and going, and the respect of passers-by for his official skin, and sighed sincerely in his heart.

When he got home, before Liu Zhiwu could put down the things in his hands, his daughter came up to him jumping up and down.

"Dad! My patron saint is out! She is out! Look!"

what?

Liu Zhiwu was taken aback.
