Dynasty Call: Low-key Struggle for Hegemony

Qingzhou, Qingyang County, inside the Blood Dragon Legion barracks,

He Xian, a late-stage Dharma Master under King Xuan, was still frightened when he saw Taishi Shuming still alive despite being covered in scars.

Fortunately, fortunately, the imperial army rescued Taishi Shuming. By the time He Xian rushed all the way from Dingshan City to Qinghai County, Qingzhou, it was already too late. Taishi Shuming had already gone to attack Qingyue City.

When he rushed over, he happened to see Taishi Shuming retreating with wounds all over his body.

"His Royal Highness Prince Xuan has guessed that Chu Junyan is ambushing me?"

Lying on the bed in the military tent, Taishi Shuming sat cross-legged, turbid gas spewed from his mouth and nose, a faint smell of blood filled the air, and the blood hole on his shoulder had scabbed over.

"In the early morning of the day before yesterday, Chu Junxiong suddenly withdrew his troops, and General Taishi was preparing to defeat Chu Junyan. The Taiwei and the army division had a premonition that something was wrong, so they asked me to come in person to dissuade the general. The action was temporarily cancelled, waiting for His Highness to deal with Chu Junxiong and then Qingzhou. Things."

He Xian nodded and said.

He had known Taishi Shuming for many years, and they didn't feel unfamiliar when they met.

"Chu Junxiong withdrew his troops?"

Taishi Shuming opened his eyes, extremely surprised, and then a fierce beast-like light flashed in his eyes, and then he said lightly:

"It seems that Chu Junxiong is also anxious!"

Hearing this, He Xian showed a wry smile and said, "Who dares not to be impatient? The King of Chu is about to take over Zhongzhou."

Taishi Shuming stroked the wound on his shoulder with his thick palm and said calmly: "Who would have thought that the King of Chu, whom everyone was not optimistic about at the beginning, could reach such a point."

"This time, Fang Wukui made a lot of money. He was paddling in Qingzhou, and then he went to Lianzhou and became the biggest winner."

"The outcome is still uncertain. Once His Highness Prince Xuan defeats Chu Junxiong, His Highness Prince Xuan's prestige will easily surpass that of King Chu. His Highness Prince Xuan may not have a chance to defeat King Chu." He Xian said confidently.

Taishi Shuming looked at He Xian, chuckled, and suddenly asked: "He Xian, what is your first impression of the King of Chu?"

"Um?"

He Xian looked at Taishi Shuming in confusion. He didn't understand why Taishi Shuming suddenly asked this question.

Taishi Shuming lowered his head and thought to himself: "This general has never met the King of Chu. The first time Chu King Li Yuan appeared in my ears was when Chu Qingyan married the King of Chu and was made a king and given a fief by His Majesty. At that time, the entire Kyoto We were talking about how long the King of Chu could hold on in Lingzhou. At that time, no one could guess how far the King of Chu Li Yuan, who had been unknown in Kyoto, could reach. The best ending would be to become a free prince."

"The second time I heard the news about King Chu, it was King Chu who took control of the fiefdom and returned to Kyoto. At that time, Kyoto was talking about King Chu and Chu Qingyan and who would win among the three major forces. The officials in Kyoto were talking about King Chu. There are a few more sighs.”

"The third time I heard the news about King Chu, it was King Chu who captured Lingzhou. At that time, everyone in Kyoto was talking about whether King Chu could catch up with the three kings. At that time, their tone was much more cautious."

"The fourth time I heard the King of Chu talk about it, it was the King of Chu who captured Huanzhou. At that time, Kyoto was talking about whether the King of Chu was already tied with the three kings. At that time, everyone's face was very solemn when talking."

Taishi Shuming raised his head, looked at He Xian and sighed:

"Now, when you and I talk again, you say that King Xuan may not have a chance to defeat King Chu, and your words are like cheering yourself up."

He Xian's expression was startled, his mouth moved slightly, but he didn't know how to speak. The confidence on his face disappeared little by little, and he fell silent.

Taishi Shuming slowly closed his eyes, and the billowing energy and blood surged in his body, clearing away the remaining energy left in his body by the eight venerables.

"Is General Taishi planning to abandon His Royal Highness Prince Xuan?"

He Xian looked at Taishi Shuming with his eyes closed, standing there in a daze. Many thoughts flashed through his mind in an instant. He didn't know what he thought of, and suddenly asked.

Taishi Shuming opened his eyes, showed a calm expression, and said:

“The battlefield is ever-changing, and it’s unclear who will have the last laugh, just like King Chu. Who would have thought that King Chu could kill both King Yu and King Yao in one fell swoop.

Just like what you said, King Xuan may not be defeated, isn't the result achieved through hard work? "

He Xian secretly breathed a sigh of relief, "Yes, I believe His Highness Prince Xuan will not be defeated."

Taishi Shuming glanced at He Xian's expression and asked:

"The imperial army actually had a chance to kill Chu Junyan yesterday. Do you know why they didn't kill Chu Junyan?"

He Xian's eyes turned cold and he said disapprovingly: "It's not because of King Chu. After all, Fang Wukui chose King Chu. It was no surprise that they chose King Chu, so they don't want the situation in Qingzhou to change drastically."

Taishi Shuming nodded and said: "Yes, but they did indeed save my life. In addition, I am seriously injured now. Due to circumstances and reasons, I cannot leave Qingzhou to support His Highness Prince Xuan."

When He Xian saw the scarred Taishi Shuming, his eyes softened and he said, "If His Highness knew your current situation, he would continue to let General Taishi guard Qingzhou. Don't act rashly."

"Furthermore, His Highness already knows a thing or two about what Chu Junxiong is hiding, and the decisive battle will begin soon."

"Since the decisive battle is imminent, He Xian, you'd better return to His Highness first. Having one more venerable warrior will give you more strength. I will guard Qingzhou." Taishi Shuming still looked very weak, but still revealed an aura of stability and stability. .

He Xian took a deep look at Taishi Shuming, cupped his fists and said:

"Okay, I believe General Taishi will not betray His Highness's trust."

…………………………

Time flew by, with Chu Junxiong escaping and King Xuan chasing after him. Three days flew by.

During this period, whether it was King Xuan's side or Chu Junxiong's side, both sides seized the time and made intensive preparations for the final battle.

By this time, they already understood the battlefield where Chu Junxiong's decisive battle took place, the Zhaoyue Plain!

Both sides are pressed for time and are confident in their own side, so let's fight to the death!

On King Xuan's side, for several nights in a row, in the army rest room, the lights were brightly lit in the army tent. Many generals such as Taiwei Qin Yi, Zhang Xuanfeng, Zhu Youwu, Shi Dengyuan, Duan Yanjiang, etc. gathered around the sand table, planning and deducing again and again. Once again, corrections were made time and time again regarding the distribution of troops in this war, attack methods, timing, Chu Junxiong's counterattacks, and backhand.

The battle situation in the deduction was extremely fierce, and the plans were changed one after another. All the generals had a matchup with Chu Junxiong to simulate Chu Junxiong's offense and backhand.

Behind King Xuan, there is still a steady stream of troops arriving. It is estimated that by the time they reach the Zhaoyue Plain, nearly 1.5 million troops from King Xuan's side will arrive. The forces of the Danzhou Alliance, King Xuan's side, and the troops led by Taiwei For the strong ones, there are twenty-four Dharma Master Realm venerables, plus six Dharma Zun Realm generals including Zhang Xuanfeng, Zhu Youwu, Shi Dengyuan, Duan Yanjiang, Yang Kui, and Wei Mingquan.

The lineup is so strong that a sense of oppression is coming!

Seeing the generals getting into a fierce quarrel, King Xuan became calmer and calmer. He already knew what happened in Qingzhou, but King Xuan had no intention of caring about the situation in Qingzhou. He believed in Taishi Shuming. Since Taishi Shuming was still alive, it was impossible to let Chu Jun Yan and the Yanzhou Alliance intervened in their decisive battle in the southwest.

"If it is the Fengyu Dynasty who is supporting us, then the peerless ancestor of the Huangji Realm they sent should be Feng Jiuyuan, who has cultivated in the late Huangji Realm."

"In the great battle more than twenty years ago, Feng Ranling and Wu Zhantian of the Xuanwu Dynasty attacked the ancestor of my royal family. Feng Ranling was severely injured by the ancestor and lost half of his life. It is impossible for him to come, and the old immortal Emperor Yu is here He has been in the position for more than two hundred years, and was injured by His Majesty again eight years ago. It is impossible and he does not dare to come, so if it is Feng Yu Dynasty, it should be Feng Jiuyuan."

Next to the huge simulated sand table, Zhu Youwu, the Minister of War, analyzed solemnly.

The Second Ancestor on the side stroked his beard and said: "If it is the Xuanwu Dynasty, the Emperor of the Emperor should be Wu Kuanghan, who is in the middle stage of the Emperor. He fought with me more than 20 years ago, and I defeated him. ***, I later learned from Emperor Yu’s intelligence that this guy seemed to be a blessing in disguise and had broken through to the late stage of the Emperor’s Realm. He should always want to seek revenge on me, my ancestor.”

Hearing the second ancestor casually spit out a secret, everyone looked at the position of Renzhong with unnatural expressions.

No matter how strong everyone's cultivation is, this person is a taboo that men cannot see.

In normal times, they would really like to have their second ancestor explain in detail how he blew Wu Kuanghan's pussy, how he felt at that time, and what Wu Kuanghan's expression was.

Time, place, people, and experiences are all indispensable.

But time is of the essence now, let’s not listen to something extremely interesting.

"Is it Feng Jiuyuan or Wu Kuanghan?"

"What if it's Feng Jiuyuan, what if it's Wu Kuanghan?"

Duan Yanjiang frowned and thought, and everyone looked at the second ancestor.

The second ancestor said directly: "If it is Feng Jiuyuan, it will be a bit difficult, but ancestor, I can also prevent him from joining forces with Chu Junxiong for a while. If it is Wu Kuanghan, that little brat who escaped from me last time, Even if I join forces with Chu Junxiong this time, Ancestor, I can still defeat him!"

"Chu Junxiong is in the early stage of the Emperor's Realm, and his combat power in the later stage of the Emperor's Realm relies on the military soul of the legion. How do we block the connection with his military soul?" Shi Dengyuan frowned tightly.

"Soul-breaking formation?"

"It's difficult. The Zhaoyue Plain is their ambush location, so it's difficult to arrange it."

"The Soul-Destroying Formation is an indiscriminate suppression. The souls of both the enemy and ours will be blocked. We are willing to do so, but Chu Junxiong's side is definitely not willing."

Everyone frowned and discussed this issue. It was extremely difficult to block Chu Junxiong's military spirit. They could only let the Second Ancestor hold back Chu Junxiong and the reinforcing Huangjingji, and then use the advantage of the army to wipe out Chu Junxiong's Mo Lin Army. .

But can the second ancestor stop the two emperors in the extreme realm?

Once the second ancestor is dragged down by one, and another Emperor Ji realm rushes to the battlefield, it will be a huge disaster.

A single powerful person in the Emperor's Realm can kill all the Dharma Masters. The enemy's unchecked Dharma Masters rush into the battlefield and cooperate with their own Tianwu Realm generals to kill their own Tianwu Realm generals in a chaotic battle. too easy.

When the time comes, the generals will be killed one after another, and the army of one million people will be completely defeated.

This is what King Xuan is most worried about, and it is also the advantage that Chu Junxiong can win.

The Second Ancestor glanced at King Xuan, then looked at the crowd and said:

"Don't worry, the battle in the Huangji Realm will be left to me, ancestor. I can hold them back even if I fight to the death. Once a battle in the Huangji Realm breaks out in the southwest, the Great Ancestor guarding the palace will sense it, and he will use it to Rushing over at a very fast speed.”

At this time, the military tent was opened, and Lu Xingyu strode in. He was a little weird and said to Prince Xuan:

"Your Highness, a letter came from King Chu!"

Everyone was shocked when they heard this. Their eyes focused on the letter in Lu Xingyu's hand, and their eyes changed in many ways.

Prince Xuan raised his eyebrows, took the envelope without saying a word, and looked down.

Everyone saw Prince Xuan's brows suddenly tighten, and his face slowly darkened. After a while, they saw Prince Xuan's brows relax, showing a relaxed expression.

Finally, King Xuan raised the letter and said with a smile:

"Everyone, we don't need to guess about Chu Junxiong's support. Fifth Brother's letter has already told Gu about the causes and consequences of the relationship between Chu Junxiong and Fengyu Dynasty."

King Xuan first gave the letter to the Taiwei.

The Taiwei took a quick look and said in surprise: "I didn't expect Chu Junxiong's wife to have such an identity. At first, all of us thought that Chu Junxiong was a beauty from a certain dynasty."

After the Taiwei read it, the letter was passed on, and all the generals gathered around to watch.

"This damn Chu Junxiong, no wonder he wants to rebel, maybe because he is afraid that the whole world will know about his betrayal of the Yu Dynasty!"

After watching it in public, everyone became furious, especially when Mrs. Chu Junxiong was present during the battle more than 20 years ago.

"How did King Chu know about Chu Junxiong?" Lu Xingyu looked at King Xuan and the Second Ancestor in confusion.

In his opinion, it doesn't matter if King Xuan doesn't know, nor does the second ancestor of the royal family know?

"Li Jun told King Chu." The second ancestor said with twinkling eyes. Basically, the three ancestors would not care about the affairs of the Dayu Dynasty after entering the ancestral temple.

Third Patriarch Li Jun was Li Yu's former protector, and he knew better.

In order to seize Chu Junxiong's only weakness, Li Yu naturally let as few people know about it as possible.

"So we already know the forces supporting this time!" Yang Kui said excitedly.

"But why did the Fengyu Dynasty send an ancestor of the Emperor's Realm to support Chu Junxiong? Isn't the eldest princess dead?" Zhang Xuanfeng asked doubtfully.

"Does what the King of Chu tell us must be correct?" A general questioned. He still had a word to say. What if the information the King of Chu gave them was false and he deliberately let them lose?

Prince Xuan shook his head and said: "In the face of the enemy dynasty entering the Dayu Dynasty, the royal family will not lie. If you use this kind of thing to deceive Gu, the royal family will not tolerate such people. Gu understands the fifth brother, he is the same as Gu People, so we can completely trust King Chu in this matter."

After hearing King Xuan's affirmative and firm words, everyone nodded silently.

"I think I know why the Fengyu Dynasty sent the Huangji Realm ancestor to support Chu Junxiong." Lu Xingyu said with a flash of light:

"In addition to the Fengyu Dynasty wanting to see Chu Junxiong defeat the court, it's also because of Chu Qingyan!"

"According to Qingzhou intelligence, we learned that Chu Qingyan has not appeared for several days, and Zhou Qiuya, Wu Yong, Xing Daorong and other subordinates who were loyal to her have also disappeared."

"If nothing else happens, they should be heading to Fengyu Dynasty!"

"The Fengyu Dynasty most hopes that our Dayu Dynasty will be in chaos. If Chu Junxiong can defeat the imperial court and re-establish the weakest dynasty, it will be in their interests.

Moreover, Chu Qingyan was in the hands of Fengyu Dynasty. If Chu Junxiong re-established a dynasty, Fengyu Emperor would have something to control Chu Junxiong. In addition, Fengyu Dynasty sent Huangji Realm ancestors to help him. "

"In the future, Fengyu Dynasty can definitely join forces with Chu Junxiong to solve the problem of Xuanwu Dynasty!"

"Fengyu Dynasty will become the biggest winner!" (End of this chapter)
