At the beginning, I gave up my military power with a cup of wine, and I ascended the throne

Chapter 4: What should you do if you become too successful and threaten your master?
"This battle."

"How many heads were beheaded? What are our casualties?"

Xie Xuanli stood up and asked.

“I don’t know the details.”

The scout said truthfully: "General Xiao's report on the damage done in battle is on the way and should be delivered soon."

"Come here, I'll give you fifty taels of silver and take you down to rest."

Xie Xuanli ordered.

"Thank you, Lord Marquis."

The scout was overjoyed.

When the news of the great victory in Yuyang reached back to Jizhou, the whole city of Jizhou was in an uproar, and countless people cheered.

The Zhenbei Marquis Mansion was even more lively.

"What's so noisy?"

The young marquis Xie An, who was half asleep, walked out of the bedroom and listened to the noisy sounds coming from the mansion.

"Young Marquis, the news just came back is that there was a great victory in Yuyang. General Xiao killed the general and captured the flag. He routed the Northern Wei army and beheaded tens of thousands of people."

The eunuch serving at the door replied respectfully.

"My father's illegitimate son is really brave."

Xie An frowned.

"Young Marquis, be careful with your words."

The eunuch looked around nervously and said, "If this gets to General Xiao's ears, it might be bad for you."

"Could it be that he really thinks of himself as the number one man in the Northern Army?"

Xie An curled his lips in disdain.

Another corner of the Marquis's mansion.

"Miss, the news has come back: a great victory in Yuyang."

Inside the pavilion, Xie Wan'er sat on a stone bench, holding an ancient book in her hand, reading it under the light of a palace lantern.

The maid who was sent out hurried back to report.

"understood."

Xie Wan'er said it lightly, her expression calm.

as predicted.

The next morning, as the sky brightened, the 800-li express train from Yuyang was delivered to Jizhou.

Within a few days.

The news of the great victory at Yuyang spread to all the provinces of Hebei, Henan and You. Everyone cheered and every house decorated with lights and colors, making it as lively as if it were New Year's Day.

Men, women, young and old took to the streets to celebrate this great victory.

Along with the news of the Yuyang victory, Xiao Han's name also spread.

……

Yuyang, the general's mansion.

"Have you received the reply from the Marquis?"

Xiao Han asked the chief historian beside him.

"not yet."

Chief Secretary Pan Yuanshao shook his head.

"Thank you, Lord Marquis... maybe you haven't figured out how to reward the general yet."

"Just say what you want to say, don't beat around the bush."

"We have been friends for many years, and have been through life and death together. You still don't trust me?"

Pan Yuanshao was silent for a moment, then smiled bitterly and said, "Yes... the general has been a little too popular in recent years."

"Have you heard any rumors?"

Xiao Han frowned.

"Ah."

Pan Yuanshao said: "Now people outside are saying that the general is the illegitimate son of the Marquis of Zhenbei."

"Nonsense."

Xiao Han snorted coldly.

"This rumor is secondary."

Pan Yuanshao frowned and said, "The other rumor is really bad for the general."

"It is said outside that the general is now ranked first in the Northern Army in terms of military merit, and will take over the post of Zhenbei Hou in the future and rule the six states in the northern border."

Hear the words.

Xiao Han's face suddenly turned gloomy.

The second rumor is tantamount to putting yourself on fire.

Everyone knows that Marquis Zhenbei is protective of his son. Although the young marquis is still young, he is already paving the way for him.

"People's words are scary." Pan Yuanshao continued, "Although Lord Xie has always respected the general, the king's flag in the six states of Ji and Yu is still surnamed Xie."

"At present, the Marquis is still alive, so the general is naturally safe, but in the future, when the young Marquis comes of age and inherits the land of Ji and Yu, the general's situation will be dangerous."

"Then what do you think I should do?"

Xiao Han frowned: "Could it be that in order to dispel the rumors, facing the invading enemy, they chose to abandon the city."

"I watched helplessly as the Northern Wei army slaughtered the people of Daqian."

"I can not do it."

He knew that what Pan Yuanshao said was true.

As a time traveler, he naturally knew what it meant to be so successful that it threatened the ruler.

"Give up the power of the army and bide your time."

Pan Yuanshao spoke word by word.

"After all, the general is just one of the Marquis's favorite generals. How can he be compared with his own son?"

"After all, the Northern Army flag belongs to the Xie family."

"talk later."

Xiao Han did not agree immediately, and Pan Yuanshao stopped persuading him and left to deal with military affairs.

The hall was silent.

"My Lord, are you really going to destroy the bridge after crossing it?"

He muttered to himself, and his cold and stern face was revealed in the candlelight.

Even if Pan Yuanshao hadn't pointed it out, Xiao Han had already thought of today's situation, and he also had a plan for retreat.

"After all, the strength is not strong enough."

He smiled bitterly.

Returning to the room, he sat cross-legged and focused his mind into the system space.

In the Battle of Yuyang, Xiao Han led his troops to kill many masters of the Northern Wei Dynasty and earned more than 500,000 Killing God Points.

It is enough to break through the cultivation level.

He has been in the Xiantian realm for several years. In addition to honing his internal and external skills, he has also been strengthening his foundation.

Another important reason is that there is no major battle, so it is impossible to accumulate enough killing points.

Xiao Han spent two years planning for the battle of Yuyang.

Now is the time to pick fruits.

Sitting cross-legged with five hearts facing the sky, he circulates three parts of the Qi to return to the original state. Three streams of true Qi linger around the body, changing unpredictably, with a trace of coldness lingering around the eyebrows.

[Host, have you consumed 500,000 God-killing Points to break through the realm? ]

"Yes."

[Congratulations to the host, you have successfully deducted 500,000 God-killing Points. ]

As soon as he finished speaking, a huge force appeared in his body and transformed into rolling true energy, and his mind also gained many more insights into martial arts.

He used a bit of his mind to control the huge internal force in his body, while the vast majority of his mind was used to comprehend the insights of the Profound Realm.

Both the realm and internal strength are skyrocketing at a speed visible to the naked eye.

It was dawn the next day.

"boom."

The powerful Three-Point Return to Origin Qi exploded in the room, and Xiao Han suddenly opened his eyes while lying on the bed.

A breathtaking gleam of light burst out from his eyes, rushed out several feet away, and punched a hole as thick as a thumb in the wall before dissipating.

He opened his mouth and inhaled Three Points of Guiyuan Qi into his stomach. Feeling the powerful force flowing through his body, the corners of his mouth unconsciously raised.

"Finally broke through to the Profound Finger Realm."

Xiao Han muttered to himself.

Open your personal panel.

Name: Xiao Han

Cultivation: refers to the mysterious realm
Martial arts: Lingyun Sword Skill (great accomplishment), Nine Yang Magic Skill (ninth level), Three-point Return to Origin Qi (great accomplishment), Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms (great accomplishment), Xiantian Wuji Skill (great accomplishment)
Compared to before the breakthrough, the strength has skyrocketed.

The only martial arts he has displayed so far is the Lingyun Sword Skill. As for the Nine Yang Divine Art, the Three-Point Return to Origin Qi, the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms, the Xiantian Wuji Gong, etc., they are all hidden trump cards and have never been used.

The breakthrough in martial arts gave him a lot more confidence.

"Keng!"

He drew out the Blood-Stained Sword, stepped into the courtyard, and practiced his sword skills. The shimmering sword light bloomed in the courtyard.

The edge is pervasive and the sword energy is raging.

Lingyun swordsmanship.

He took a sharp and aggressive approach, and with the murderous aura that Xiao Han had accumulated over the years of fighting, he was always successful.

Among the Northern Army, Xiao Han was the first to charge into battle.

Among the Northern Army, Xiao Han is the best in swordsmanship.

Among the many generals of Zhenbei Hou, no one can compete with him in these two aspects.
