Having many children brings many blessings; the struggle for power begins with marriage.

Lu Chen vented all his anger at not being able to get Yun Xianxian on Chen Wanrong and Lin Wanyun. During the time that Chen Wanrong and Lin Wanyun returned to Xuan Yue Palace, both women were repeatedly humiliated by Lu Chen.

A few days later, Chen Wanrong and Lin Wanyun left Daxia satisfied.

After the two of them leave, the war between Da Xia and Da Yue will begin.

The process of waging war against Dayue was the same as that of waging war against Dawu. Both involved issuing a proclamation of war, which used Dayue and the barbarians as reasons for starting the war.

Before the establishment of a dynasty, the area of ​​Dayue suffered greatly from the raids of barbarian tribes, and the people who lived in Dayue in the past were filled with misery.

Even after the establishment of the Dayue Dynasty, the barbarians would still raid southwards from time to time. Dayue and the barbarians had a deep-seated blood feud. Only after Emperor Yue ascended the throne did Dayue stop being raided by the barbarians as frequently as before.

However, hatred has already been sown in the hearts of the people of Dayue. Now, Emperor Yue led his troops to attack the barbarians, but instead of annihilating them, he incorporated all the barbarians into Dayue and even made the barbarian goddess the national advisor of Dayue.

This kind of thing will definitely cause dissatisfaction among a large portion of the people of Dayue.

As a country that was also plundered by barbarians, the Great Xia could stand on the side of righteousness and guide the people of the Great Yue to oppose the Great Yue Dynasty.

After the Great Xia's proclamation of war was issued, the Great Yue people quickly learned of it through the efforts of the Embroidered Uniform Guard.

The declaration of war resonated with many ordinary people of Dayue. As an orderly dynasty, why should they ally with those unwashed barbarians?

For a time, Dayue was in turmoil.

at the same time.

The Empress's bedroom.

Inside the room, the candlelight flickered, casting shadows on the Empress's profile and revealing her somber and indifferent face.

Just then, a woman's clear and alluring voice came from the window of the palace, "Hmph, His Majesty's face is truly terrifying. I wonder who has offended His Majesty again."

Upon hearing Mu Yunxi's voice, Emperor Yue immediately released his spiritual energy, burning the love letter in his hand to ashes.

"The Great Yue Intelligence Division has learned that Lu Chen will personally lead the army in this war between Great Xia and Great Yue."

Upon hearing this, Mu Yunxi paused for a moment, then a smile appeared on her face. "Isn't this just God helping us?"

"If we could kill Lu Chen..."

Before Mu Yunxi could finish speaking, Emperor Yue interrupted, "I have no intention of killing Lu Chen!"

Hearing the Emperor's forceful tone, Mu Yunxi was stunned again.

She hadn't expected the Emperor Yue to say such a thing. For the Great Yue, the Great Xia was a formidable enemy, and the Emperor of the Great Xia was an even more formidable foe. Yet the Emperor Yue didn't intend to kill him.

Mu Yunxi teased, "Could it be that His Majesty has fallen for this Lu Chen?"

Emperor Yue said calmly, "You don't need to concern yourself with my affairs. I will find a way to capture Lu Chen and then cripple his martial arts."

The Emperor had already decided that since Wu Yunwan truly loved Lu Chen and had already consummated their marriage, he would depose Lu Chen and then hand him over to Wu Yunwan as a male concubine. This way, the relationship between the two sisters would not be damaged.

Mu Yunxi then said, "Although I don't know what Your Majesty intends to do, I must remind Your Majesty that this Lu Chen is likely not an ordinary person. If we don't kill him, we may make a single mistake that could lead to our complete annihilation."

Emperor Yue insisted, "I don't want to say it a second time."

Seeing that Emperor Yue still insisted, Mu Yunxi said calmly, "Very well then. Since Your Majesty likes this Lu Chen so much, if I catch him, I will leave him to Your Majesty as a male concubine."

Emperor Yue didn't say much, as long as Mu Yunxi didn't kill Lu Chen.

Mu Yunxi continued, "It seems that all four Celestial Beings of Great Xia will be mobilized this time, which puts a lot of pressure on me."

Emperor Yue said expressionlessly, "Didn't you say you weren't afraid of the Celestials of Great Xia?"

Mu Yunxi said calmly, "I am not afraid of them. What I am afraid of is accidentally revealing my true strength, which would then bring down a heavenly tribulation."

"However, if we can destroy the four Celestials of the Great Xia, we will have essentially destroyed both the Great Xia and Great Wu dynasties. Then, all we need to do is destroy the Great Qian to unify the world."

In Mu Yunxi's view, the Celestials are the highest fighting force in this world. Without the Celestials, the remnants of the royal families of the Great Xia Dynasty and the Great Wu Dynasty are nothing but lambs to the slaughter.

The only potential difficulty now is with Daqian. Although she sent spies to Daqian to gather information a long time ago, all of them eventually disappeared, and she still hasn't figured out what the situation is like in Daqian.

The situation in Daqian was somewhat strange, making Mu Yunxi feel that it was a bit dangerous.

At this moment, Mu Yunxi had no idea that the real danger was not the Great Qian Land, but the approaching Lu Chen.

Early the next morning, Emperor Yue launched a mobilization and began recruiting a large number of reserve soldiers. The soldiers recruited later had not been trained in battle formations, so they would definitely not go to the battlefield. However, they would still play a significant role, as they could be responsible for logistics, transporting supplies, and so on.

Although the Great Xia's proclamation of war resonated with many people of Dayue, when the Emperor of Yue issued a notice to recruit soldiers, quite a few people still volunteered to participate in the defensive war against the Great Xia.

Although the barbarians are hateful, the people of Dayue do not want their dynasty to be occupied by another dynasty. In Dayue, they are still citizens of Dayue and are first-class citizens. However, if Dayue is destroyed in the future, they may be reduced to second-class citizens or even third-class citizens.

Soon, Dayue had gathered an army of 700,000. Lu Chen had not expected that Dayue would be able to recruit so many soldiers in such a short time.

However, only about 300,000 of these soldiers were capable of fighting, so they did not pose a significant threat to the Great Xia.

Time flies, and soon it was time for Lu Chen to set off on his expedition.

While the sky was still dimly lit, the people of Yancheng spontaneously took to the streets, waiting for their emperor to pass by.

The proclamation of war written by the people of Dayue not only resonated with the Dayue people, but also aroused great indignation among some people of Daxia.

After all, the Great Xia was often raided by barbarians. The thought that the Great Yue had actually allied with the barbarians made the people of the Great Xia see the Great Yue as no different from the barbarians.

Therefore, when their emperor personally led the expedition against Dayue, it was actually also an expedition against the barbarians, and the people of Daxia naturally supported Lu Chen.

At this moment.

The main gate of the palace.

Lu Chen was already preparing to put on his armor and mount his horse. Mu Zixuan and the other wives and concubines stood at the door, looking at Lu Chen with reluctance.

Lu Chen smiled and said, "Don't worry, my wives, I'll be back soon."

"The battle between Great Xia and Great Yue won't last long!"

Lu Chen was certain that the battle would not last long because he had learned through intelligence that Dayue was preparing to use battle formations to fight against the Celestials. Therefore, they planned to decide the outcome in one battle and would not waste any unnecessary troops.

In this way, all of Dayue's important armies will gather together, and as long as Dayue's main force is defeated, the war can be said to be over.

Wu Yunwan looked at Lu Chen and said, "Your Majesty, I wish to travel to Dayue with you." (End of Chapter)
