Dingzhou City.
At night, the sky was full of stars, and suddenly, a fierce star was shining brightly, it became extremely prosperous, and then dimmed again.
"The star power of Qingyang has dissipated?"
Seeing Wu Ming on the high pavilion, he was stunned: "It seems that Wu Tiehu is already dead!"
In fact, stars have existed for eternity, so how could they disappear because of the death of a mere star
Since ancient times, the saying of generals falling and meteors falling is just a phenomenon caused by the gathered star power dissipating and turning into a stream of light.
For Xing Chen, it was indeed a big loss, but it was far from harming the body.
"well… "
Wu Ming watched this scene silently, but he sighed leisurely: "This person is haunted by calamity, so it can be regarded as a good end, otherwise, in the future, I will have to send him to Ying Jie in person, which is not beautiful. Now he has fallen in the In the battle, it is regarded as a sacrifice for the country, and future generations will have to pay for it...'
In fact, this person's talent is only among the counties and counties, the talent of a school lieutenant, and being able to be a fifth-rank general is already blessed by God.
However, Wu Ming cheated on him one after another, and in the end he did it directly, making Wu Tiehu the true master of the life of the sheep!
How lucky is this? Chance
If the foundation is shallow and unable to bear it, it is easy to be polluted by the dark side of the star power, the temperament changes drastically, the cruelty is easy to kill, etc., all of which are sequelae.
But if Wu Ming hadn't changed his fate against the sky last time, he might have died in the Lingzhou conquest. Now that he can live for a few more years, he still made a profit.
At this time, in the starry night in the south, many stars suddenly shone brightly, surrounding a purple star in the middle, faintly showing the momentum of the king's arrival.
"good!"
When Wu Ming saw it, he shook his head: "Although one general was broken, after this battle, Dading in the south has no power to resist... The rest is just to lead a million troops, cross the river and make a northern expedition, and the autumn wind sweeps away the fallen leaves." ... It's just that there must be twists and turns in it!"
Although the north is a state of disunity, such an alliance can be organized at most once, but some people in their own camp can't hold back their efforts by tipping off.
And, there is one more hidden danger.
"Extreme Immortal Venerable..."
Wu Ming muttered and spit out a name.
If the Great Zhou was unified again, the barbarians from all directions would have no chance. Under such circumstances, no matter how shy they were before, they would definitely jump out, right
"In terms of general situation, Ejin has long been unrivaled. Unless he underestimates the enemy and advances aggressively and exhausts his army, there is no danger of a big defeat... The only variable is where it comes from."
Wu Ming looked in the direction of the palace, thoughtful.
…
Just outside the palace, under a private residence.
A hidden secret room was opened, and inside were two Taoists sitting cross-legged, with a black and purple talisman flashing on each body.
"Borrowing the talisman of the Immortal Venerable, coupled with the fact that my brothers and I never use mana, we managed to lurk in this Dingzhou city... Is it finally time to activate it?"
An old Taoist muttered, took out another stick of incense, and lit the head of the incense.
"Immortal Master, Wu Zhi has already defeated the anti-king Chen Jie, and will conquer the south in a few days, and point the sword to the northern plains... Please show me what we should do!"
There are few cigarettes, and they disappear into the void, disappearing suddenly, very strange.
There was a silence on the opposite side, and not long after, a passage was formed, and a dragon chant came from it.
"This is... Emperor Qi?!"
The old Taoist was shocked: "I don't know which dynasty's emperor's imperial energy was captured and banned by the immortal with great supernatural powers, and now it is taken out and used..."
Ho Ho!
Sure enough, with the dragon chant, a black dragon emerged from the passage, baring its teeth and claws, with a ferocious expression, and its body was locked with black and purple talismans, like a ban.
As soon as the old man flicked his sleeve, it obediently got into the cuff.
"Senior Brother, the Immortal Venerable bestowed the Emperor Qi, this is..."
Seeing this scene, the young Taoist next to him finally couldn't bear it anymore and asked.
"What else? Naturally, it is used to fund the little emperor's rebellion! Da Zhou has been orthodox for a hundred years, and there are always some loyal ministers and filial sons..."
The old Taoist smiled: "I already know all about the meaning of the Immortal Venerable. What I should do now is to encourage Wuzhi to make a northern expedition, and then take this opportunity to send this emperor's spirit to the little emperor..."
To be honest, the general trend of the world lies in the soldiers, food, victories, and a few dragon spirits. If it is not used as capital at the beginning of the business, it will not affect the overall situation too much in the later stage.
Not to mention, even if Jue Tian Xianzun's methods are earth-shattering, can he still seal all the luck in a lifetime
Therefore, this imperial spirit, at most, cheered up the little emperor a little, and brought a little trouble to Wu Zhi.
But if this situation broke out when Wu Zhi was about to cross the river to fight, it would bring more than just a small trouble.
"Is there only this part of the Dragon Qi of the Immortal Venerable? If there is any remaining, it will definitely be given to the princes of the North. At that time, under the internal and external attack, Wu Zhi will definitely be defeated. Even if he is spared, he will have no chance to unify the world!"
The old Taoist saw it very accurately.
The same is true for the Battle of Chibi in the Three Kingdoms.
Once the elite army is exhausted, it cannot be replenished in a few years.
Therefore, once Chibi was defeated, Cao Cao immediately lost his chance to become a dragon, and even if the descendants were barely unified, they were easily picked.
The situation Wu Zhi is facing now is roughly similar to this.
…
The northern border of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
Qianzhou, Wuwang Palace.
Looking at the gloomy sky, Ji Quan suddenly sighed.
He belongs to the clan of the Great Zhou Dynasty. Since the troubled times, he has taken advantage of the opportunity of several feudal towns in Qianzhou to confront each other to develop continuously in the cracks, and relying on the skin of the clan, he has also won the loyalty of many veterans of the Great Zhou Dynasty. Has occupied the five counties of Qianzhou and established himself as the King of Wu!
The place where Taizu of Great Zhou started his family back then was in Qianzhou, and he was also titled King Wu!
Ji Quan is like this, and everyone knows her ambition.
In fact, this person is diligent in politics and has the means. If time passes, he might be able to reproduce the feat of Taizu back then, but he met a terrible opponent.
Before he started a family, a huge prince had already risen in the south. Up to now, he has not yet conquered Qianzhou, but the opponent has already unified the south, owns Kyushu, and has millions of elite soldiers under his command!
This difference in strength is really disappointing!
The competition in the world is snowballing, one side has already achieved the general trend, and the other side is still quietly farming, the outcome is naturally clear at a glance.
"It's a pity... Ruogu only has one county, and he's not a clan. If he doesn't claim the title of king, he might be surrendered..."
After a long time, Ji Quan sighed deeply.
Although Wu Zhi also recruited and accepted traitors, she was almost a great prince sitting in a state. Even if she didn't mind, the civil servants and generals below must be extremely vigilant, right? Not to mention that it is still the clan of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and once became king.
Ji Quan had no doubts that even if he surrendered, he would only be imprisoned, and after a few years, he would fall ill or die in the water.
In all fairness, if he changed places, he would definitely do so!
"Everyone in the north can surrender, but I cannot surrender!"
Ji Quan shook his head, suddenly, there seemed to be a dragon chant in his ear.
In a trance, he seemed to see a purple-black giant dragon emerging from the sky, baring its teeth and claws, rushing towards him.
"ah!"
Ji Quan screamed, and suddenly his eyes cleared, and he found that the garden was still the same garden, nothing unusual, only a few guards hurried over: "Your Majesty?"
"nothing!"
Ji Quan waved his hand to make them retreat, but he was thoughtful: "Black Dragon! Could there be some omen?"
I don't know if it was an illusion, but after being pounced by the black dragon, he felt that his eyes and ears were sharp, his mind was much more agile, his whole body was full of energy, and he had a kind of pride that dared to pierce the blue sky.
"The king is overjoyed!"
At this time, a civil official hurriedly asked to see him, and it turned out to be his newly appointed prime minister.
"Report to Your Majesty!"
The prime minister walked over quickly, and saluted meticulously: "Please surrender Hechuan and Dingguo counties, and Qianzhou is unified!"
"Oh? This is really good news!"
Ji Quan frowned slightly: "We can squeeze out tens of thousands of troops again to guard against the south."
"Not only that!"
The prime minister continued to report: "Yunzhou, Mengzhou...all the northern princes have sent envoys, intending to form an alliance to fight against the southern king Ding! Who is the leader of the alliance?"
"solitary?"
Ji Quan smiled slightly.
King Nading was still the prime minister of the court, and this time he was crusading against him by order, taking full advantage of righteousness.
After all, the little emperor is in the hands of the other party, do you want any imperial edict? At this time, the northern princes complained endlessly, deeply resenting why no one saw this at the beginning.
And now, the only way is to push out one person to fight against the southern gangsters.
No matter how you look at it, Ji Quan is very suitable as a clan.
After all, from the perspective of blood, strength, and even legal system, it is not that Ji Quan has no hope of inheriting the throne.
"This matter..."
Ji Quan only felt his heart beating violently.
There are ten states in the north, and there is the danger of the Tianhe River. Even if it cannot cross the river and conquer the south, it is still more than enough to hold the foundation. If it works well, it is not impossible to really establish a country and form a confrontation between the North and the South.
At that time, he will no longer be a prince, but an emperor! Ninety-five supreme!
"Sailing against the current, if you don't advance, you will retreat. At this time, the lonely king, is there still a way out?"
Ji Quan gritted his teeth and sneered, and suddenly made up his mind: "It's done! Go down quickly, win over the princes of various feudal towns, and be sure to elect Gu as the leader of the alliance at the time of the alliance!"
This is also to occupy the status first, and then gradually divide and assimilate, after all, there is the possibility of integrating the Northland.
Although this hope is very small, if it happens, at least it will be a pattern of the Northern and Southern Dynasties, and the ninth and fifth positions are beckoning.
Ji Quan, who had no way out for a long time, would never regret this bet!
"promise!"
The prime minister agreed heavily, his face was a little flushed, and he was a little puzzled, feeling that today's King Wu was a little different from usual.
It seems to have become more wise and decisive, but when you look closely, it is still the same as before, and you can't help but feel a little awe-inspiring: "Before, Xiangshi Qin once said that my king only has the life of a king, and if there is more, his life will be lost. But seeing my king today, the heaven is full and the great cause is promising, no matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like a premature death, could it be... that you have obtained the destiny?"
