The night is like water.
After the succession ceremony, there was originally a banquet with singing and dancing.
Just because of the envoy from the Wu Kingdom, Youshan Mansion was in danger. Which of the leaders of the forces had such thoughts? They had to either say goodbye and leave, or wait for Fang Yuan to give orders.
"Lord Palace Master!"
Fang Yuan stood on a high platform, his cloak rustling behind him.
Zhang Qingfeng came behind him and reported respectfully: "All the families and sects that left Fucheng have been recorded!"
"Very good. After I arrange the arrangements later, I will order Niu Dingtian to immediately lead the elite soldiers to kill the chickens and scare the monkeys!"
Fang Yuan touched his chin, a cold look flashed in his eyes.
If he reveals part of his strength this time, how will Wuhan react
"Besieging Liu Yan, even the Wu Kingdom, will inevitably pay a price. At this time, I show a little strength, and I will be more confused. I can buy some time by investigating."
"These days may not be enough to recruit and train troops again, but it is enough to cleanse the entire mansion and wipe out all the rebellious families and sects!"
Lobby.
The candles were brightly lit, illuminating everything around.
There were ice cubes hidden in the surrounding copper pillars, and along the pipes, there was a hint of coldness, but everyone in the hall was still feeling hot and uneasy.
No matter who it is, facing the behemoth of Wu Guo, they will not feel at ease after all.
"The Lord of the Palace is ascended!"
Along with a loud singing, the entire hall immediately became silent.
Fang Yuanduan sat on the golden nine-dragon chair and looked over one by one.
Below, Niu Dingtian, Zhang Qingfeng, Yu Xinlou, Zhang Sheng and other close confidants were all there.
Seeing him coming, everyone who was originally worried seemed to have found a backbone and listened quietly to the palace master's instructions.
"Zhang Qingfeng, tell me the situation!"
Fang Yuan looked neither sad nor happy and waved his hand.
"promise!"
Zhang Qingfeng came out of the queue, saluted Fang Yuan first, and then looked around: "I reported over the wire that there is indeed a large army gathering at the border of Wu State, the number is no less than 100,000! Moreover, although Xia Yang Mansion is dilapidated, Qingquan Mansion Lan Xiaosheng, and There seems to be a large army mobilizing in the direction of the Xia King's capital, and we cannot rule out the possibility of attacking us from several sides! The final number of troops we face may be upwards of 200,000!"
As soon as he said this, everyone in the hall suddenly gasped.
"How is our situation?"
Fang Yuan didn't take it seriously and continued to ask.
"Even if we have ordered soldiers from six counties to gather together, and the remaining soldiers from Xia Yang Mansion have gathered together, we only have 30,000 soldiers at this time, and... most of them are new soldiers and lack of training!"
Zhang Qingfeng said, feeling a little bitter in his heart.
In terms of high-level combat power, Youshan Mansion has lost Yuanli realm masters one after another. It was already at an absolute disadvantage, and now even the ordinary military strength is like this.
This situation is no longer as simple as a defeat or a crisis, but an irreversible situation!
"Very good! As the Lord of Youshan Palace, I now issue the first order!"
After hearing all this bad news, Fang Yuan's face did not change at all: "The families and sects who are still loyal to me, Youshan Mansion, and those approaching the border, immediately began to fortify the walls and clear the country, and concentrate on the city!"
"At the same time, Niu Dingtian led Youshan Mansion soldiers to dispatch and cleanse the entire mansion according to the previous list!"
"In this way, I want to make a final guarantee that the enemy will not be able to get a grain of food or make a living on our territory!"
…
After saying this one by one, the expressions of everyone below changed.
"grown ups… "
Zhang Qingfeng came out and said: "The enemy is too dominant. Even if this strategy can buy some time, it will be of no use in the end... If we don't defend every city to the death, the entire Youshan Prefecture will turn into a quagmire of the Wu Kingdom!"
"Your loyalty is commendable!"
Fang Yuan nodded slightly: "However, I have my own plan and am ready to accomplish my goal in one battle. You don't need to say more, just stand down!"
Zhang Qingfeng stepped back, looking a little depressed, and suddenly woke up.
The master of the palace is only twenty years old. He has already invested so much energy in martial arts and spiritual arts. How can he be as talented in other areas
He has seen many martial arts geniuses, but once they do other things, they immediately make a mess, and he can't help but feel a little more worried.
"As you command!"
Here, Niu Dingtian received the command talisman and responded loudly, with an excited expression: "I, Old Niu, have long wanted to teach those idiots a lesson! This time, they need to know how powerful I am!"
Judging from his appearance, it is obvious that he wants to vent the evil fire of Xia Yang Mansion on these rebellious families. He will not show mercy, but will probably eradicate them.
"As for Xiang Dutong, you can rest in peace and recuperate for the time being and prepare for the future war!"
Fang Yuan looked pleasant and comforted the bandaged Xiang Zilong with a few words.
These two people are his highest combat power at this time.
"I am willing to serve the palace master and avenge the old palace master!"
Xiang Zilong saluted with his still mobile hand: "As long as you are driven, Xiang Zilong will follow everything!"
"Very good, with you and others working together, what can't we do?"
Fang Yuan looked up to the sky and laughed, and then ordered him one by one: "Yuxinlou, go and collect a few things for me. The bigger the better, as for Zhang Sheng, you have to make a hard trip to the capital of Xia Kingdom and Qingquan Mansion to collect some things for me." Send two letters!”
"promise!"
"As you command!"
Yu Xinlou and Zhang Sheng responded one after another, but Xiang Zilong said thoughtfully: "Does the palace master mean to suspend relations with Xia Kingdom?"
He interrupted rashly, and Zhang Qingfeng suddenly felt unhappy. The others in Yuxinlou even glared at him. Due to his status in the Yuanli realm, he temporarily tolerated it.
"Of course. After all, Youshan Mansion has been ceded to Wu Kingdom, and the former master Liu Yan has died. What reason do they have to continue to be enemies with us?"
Fang Yuan shook his head: "Even if we send troops to help due to Wu State's oppression or agreement, it must be just a show of force. We order nearby counties and counties to strengthen their precautions. This can delay it for a while, so that we can fight with Wu State with all our strength to decide the outcome. ! ”
"The master of the palace is wise!"
Xiang Zilong's eyes flashed with strange color, and he retreated as if he was surrendering.
…
At the end of July, Niu Dingtian went on a killing spree in Youshan Mansion, killing many rebellious families and sects.
At this time, Wu Guo's whip was beyond his reach. Niu Dingtian relied on Wu Zong's cultivation and supported by a large army. He was really unbeatable.
Except for those aristocratic families who saw that the situation was not good and escaped from Youshan Mansion early, no one else was spared.
Immediately, the mammoth relocation also began.
Although these two things were done swiftly and resolutely, at the same time, comments such as being rebellious, ignorant and cruel were unceremoniously thrown at Fang Yuan, the new palace master.
Wu Guo camp.
The soldiers of the Wu Kingdom set up their camps in a very organized manner, with horizontal and vertical lines and clear flags. There were gates and trenches between each camp. Even the Huotou Army was in charge of its own affairs, and poisoning and harassment were not feasible.
And the soldiers were all strong and vigorous, with a murderous look on their faces.
The most important thing in the Wu Kingdom is military merit. The monarch has monopolized power and established twenty ranks of military nobles. Soldiers are rewarded for their military merit, such as gold and silver, women, tax exemptions on land, and even martial arts secrets. Therefore, the soldiers are happy when they hear about the battle, and they must first fight every battle. , the military strength of the neighboring countries was the highest, and only on the grassland, the cavalry of the Yuan Kingdom could compete with them.
"Master Imperial Master!"
In a huge tent, the ground was covered with a fine golden wool blanket, which was trampled on unceremoniously. Incense burners were lit all around, and green smoke curled up, carrying Taoist meaning.
Wu Wudao sat cross-legged, suddenly opened his eyes and looked at Taoist Xuansheng in front of him.
"Your six-path soul eye, which is the first of the three great miraculous arts of our Martial Kingdom, was directly destroyed?"
Looking at the dark eye holes, Wu Wudao also had heart palpitations.
"The new Lord of Youshan Palace is definitely an extraordinary person, and he is the great enemy of our Martial Kingdom!"
Taoist Xuansheng said coldly: "It doesn't matter what the specific cultivation level is, but the strength of the divine energy is simply shocking. The old Taoist's tricks are so blind!"
"I heard that this boy seems to be just twenty? Sure enough, he is a genius, and his future is promising!"
Wu Wudao sighed quietly: "First there was Liu Yan, and then there was Fang Yuan. Why weren't such heroes born in the royal family of our King Wu? Alas... God treats our Kingdom of Wu so poorly, but how generous it is to Xia!"
“If you don’t take what God has given you, you will suffer the consequences!”
However, the old Taoist Xuansheng said coldly: "The decline of the Xia Kingdom and the inability to use talented people are the root cause of Xiao Qiang! This good opportunity is sent to our country by God!"
"Well said!"
Wu Wudao clapped and laughed, his face suddenly flushed, his face changed, he took out a pill and swallowed it.
This elixir was white in color and was stored in a jade bottle. After pouring it out, a cold wind seemed to blow through the entire tent, and the temperature dropped sharply.
"Xuan Bing Dan? How is the injury of the Imperial Master?"
Old Taoist Xuansheng frowned and looked at Wu Wudao with empty eyes.
"Liu Yan's pill fire is really powerful. Even with the help of this Xuan Bing Dan, I'm afraid it will take half a month to suppress the injury!"
Wu Wudao's voice was low: "I have sent a message to the country, ordering my two useless disciples and General Feilong to come to support!"
"In this way, Youshan Mansion has no worries!"
Master Xuan Sheng nodded, seeming quite satisfied.
The Imperial Master is a spiritual scholar at the peak of the Juyuan Realm. He is especially good at preaching and teaching. He has three hundred disciples under his sect, two of whom have broken through the Yuanli Realm.
And General Feilong is a long-established master in the Wu Kingdom. He is victorious in every battle, uses troops like a god, and his martial arts cultivation is also superb. He once took on a round of battles and defeated three martial sects with one man! He is the second person in Wu Kingdom besides the national master!
With the support of these high-end military forces, Youshan Mansion only has three-dimensional power realm on the surface, so it will definitely lose!
"And..."
The old Taoist Xuansheng's eyes were mysterious, and he suddenly took a few steps forward: "The old Taoist has another strategy here, which is enough for us to be sure of a greater number of points, nine out of ten!"
"Huh? Say it!"
Wu Wudao raised his eyebrows.
"To be honest, the old Taoist arranged many spies in Youshan Mansion. Although he was severely injured this time, the biggest one is safe and sound!"
Old Taoist Xuansheng said: "According to the news he passed on, although the master of Youshan Mansion has a high level of cultivation, he is not good at military affairs. He is too naive and is ready to complete his achievements in one battle. We might as well use his plan! Although this battle is bound to win, we must win it cleanly. It is neat and will shock all countries!"
