This round of internal competition competition is over.
The first to get the seven main competition places are Lin Zhengren from the Zhuang Kingdom, Yelu Zhi from the Liao Kingdom, Yin Wenhua from the Song Kingdom, Xiao Shu from the Dan Kingdom, Beigong Ke from the Yong Kingdom, Huang Su from the Liang Kingdom, and Xie from the Snow Kingdom. sorrow.
This list is very interesting.
First of all, the geniuses of Zhuang Kingdom and Yong Kingdom entered the main competition of the Yellow River Tournament at the same time.
Lin Zhengren is a little-known person who only rose to prominence after Zhu Weiwo left. And this Beigong Ke was the direct grandson of Beigong Yu, the British Duke of Yong Kingdom.
When the three kingdoms of Yong, Luo and Zhuang held talks in Buhu City, the young generation of geniuses "discussed" with each other. The genius of Zhuang Kingdom wished that we could defeat one against two, win a great victory, and shine brightly for a while.
However, the people of the Yong Kingdom at that time said that it was just because Beigong Ke, who was the number one in the Yong Kingdom and was overpowering his peers, was not around. He was traveling abroad at the time. Yong Ting underestimated the enemy and did not recall him, but chose to send him to the ranking. The second young genius. This is the reason why Yongguo State was embarrassed in Buhu City.
There are even voices that believe that it was the failure of that meeting that led Zhuang Luo to later dare to join forces to invade the country.
Bei Gongke has a background, talent, strength, and a very impressive record. During the Zhuang-Yong War, he resisted the Red Horse Guards on the Jing'an Prefecture front under the command of Qi Maoxian, the Prime Minister of Yong.
He stood firmly on the city wall and fought bloody battles for three days and nights without retreating. After the war, he was awarded the title of No. 1 in Jing'an Mansion by Qi Maoxian.
Such a person is naturally the pride of Yong State.
Nowadays, the war between Zhuang and Yong has ceased, and their grievances have been entangled with each other for hundreds of years. At this meeting of the Yellow River, Lin Zhengren, the newly rising genius of the Zhuang Kingdom, was ranked with Bei Gongke, the undoubted number one in the Yong Kingdom, and naturally attracted the attention of countless people.
Which of the two can go further is what the most people are interested in.
Next is Huang Su of Liang State.
The country of Liang can be said to have a close relationship with Xia. In terms of geographical location, it is in the southeast of Xia Kingdom.
Xia Kingdom has a vast territory. For example, the hometown of the Lian family in the south of Qi is also within the territory of the current Xia Kingdom.
Before Shenwu, Daxia was even more prosperous. It once spanned the two southeastern regions, fought for dominance with Qi in the eastern region, and merged with countless countries in the southern region.
Unfortunately, Liang State was one of the countries that was annexed by Xia State.
The Xia Kingdom moved the last Liang Emperor to the Xia capital. As a result, within three years, the last Liang Emperor died. There are different opinions on the cause of death, and there is no conclusion yet.
Later, when Qi and Xia fought for hegemony, Xia was defeated and completely withdrew from the Eastern Region.
Xia Ting suffered heavy casualties in the war, and had to deploy a large number of troops to garrison the northeastern border to prevent Qi from going south and destroying the country in one fell swoop. No longer able to suppress all parties.
Kang Shao, the clan member of the Liang Kingdom, raised his arms in the bustling city of Biancheng and swore a blood oath to restore the country. Thousands of Liang people followed him on the spot, killing the Xia soldiers who were guarding them, and then launched an army.
Liang people who cherished their homeland responded one after another. In less than five days, the Liangdi area was already on fire.
In just two months, Kang Shao restored the entire Liang Kingdom and reestablished the Daliang State. He opened an altar and set up sacrifices in Biancheng to comfort the ancestors, and he ascended the throne as emperor, still inheriting the title of "Liang".
The relationship between Liang Guo and Xia Guo can be said to be a generational feud that cannot be erased.
From the records of the last emperor of the former Liang Dynasty in the history books of the two countries, we can get a glimpse of it——
"Book of Xia" says: ...that same year, the Marquis of Xian was moved to the capital...Three years later, he died of a serious illness. (hong)
"Book of Liang" records this: ...In that year, Emperor Min was forcibly moved to the Xia capital. Before three years were over, he was killed with medicine and died in a shabby room, wrapped in a bamboo mat. When the people of Liang heard about it, they all beat their chests and stamped their feet, filled with hatred and sorrow.
The unfortunate Liang Emperor was named "Nian" and his posthumous name was "Min". When he surrendered, he was named "Xianhou" by Emperor Xia.
The Xia people said that the last Liang Emperor Kangnian died of a serious illness himself, while the Liang people said that he was killed by the Xia people's medicine.
The hatred between the two countries is so deep that the people of the two countries are naturally at odds with each other and are at war with each other.
In today's meeting of the Yellow River, Huang Su, a prodigy from the Liang Dynasty, won a spot in the main competition in advance. The prodigy from the Xia Kingdom was pitied, but he met Rong Guo Lin Xian first, and his trump card was revealed too early. Today, I met Xiao Shu from the Dan Kingdom and was severely targeted. He was defeated early. They can only compete with other losers for the remaining three main draw spots.
Liang Guo won a small game, which can be said to be elated.
Defeating Xiao Shu who was Chu Ming is also worth talking about.
Like the Xuan, Qiao and other states, the Dan Kingdom was also located in the middle zone between the two hegemonic states of Qin and Chu.
The difference is that the Dan Kingdom is much more powerful than Xuan and Qiao, and is a regional power. And it is politically independent and not controlled by either Qin or Chu.
To the south of Dan Kingdom is the river valley plain. Further north from the Dan Kingdom are the Mo Kingdom, Cheng Kingdom, and Zhuang Kingdom.
The geopolitical environment is complex.
Qin and Chu fought in the river valleys and plains, and both sides mobilized powerful military forces. This battle can be said to be traumatic for both the two hegemons, but what is even more tragic is the river valley plain that is used as the battlefield.
All the small countries on the river valley plain disappeared after this battle.
The citizens of various countries either fled south or surrendered to Qin and Chu.
Or there are those who don't want to leave... and are buried in the ruins.
The entire river valley and plains have become desperate. The countries in the valley ceased to exist.
Relative to the geographical location of Dan Kingdom, Xuan Kingdom and Qiao Kingdom were located to the south of the river valley plain.
Danguo, Xuanguo and Qiaoguo looked at each other across the river valley and plain. But the countries that once filled their midst are no longer there.
"In the battle between Qin and Chu, all the countries in the valley perished. People at the time said: The remnants of the small country are as humble as the grass on the original plain." ("Book of Scenery, Tianxia Chapter")
The Dan Kingdom is in such an awkward position. Relatively speaking, it is closer to the Qin Kingdom and is more threatened by the Qin Kingdom. Since the defeat of Chu State, the situation has become more subtle.
Xiao Shu's bravery in the Yellow River Meeting was also due to the Dan Kingdom's strong need to demonstrate. At the same time, it is even more necessary to reach behind the Gate of Ten Thousand Demons to get resources, because in this world, no matter whether it is Qin or Chu, Dan Kingdom cannot extend its hand, and if it reaches out, it will be broken.
And Xiao Shu is worthy of the name of genius, and his performance on the martial arts stage is very eye-catching.
Among these geniuses who have locked up their spots in the main competition, Yelu Zhi of the Liao Kingdom should also be discussed in detail.
Yelvzhi was born in the Liao Kingdom, but he did not only represent the Liao Kingdom. In fact, he is one of the talented people jointly launched by the Five Northwest Alliance behind the Liao Kingdom.
The so-called Northwest Five Kingdoms Alliance is an alliance composed of the five kingdoms: Liao Kingdom, Zhen Kingdom, Gao Kingdom, Iron Kingdom, and Han Kingdom.
The northwest has always been regarded as a bitter and cold place, but in fact it is also rich in resources. Especially in the Liao Kingdom, the reserves of Daoyuan Stone veins are astonishing.
Due to the strong pressure from the Jing Kingdom, the five kingdoms of Liao, Zhen, Gao, Tie, and Han united early to fight against the Jing.
Each of the five kingdoms is small, but they join forces and are at war with Jing Kingdom all the year round. Their armies are extremely powerful.
On occasions like the Yellow River Meeting, their intention to challenge the Jing Kingdom was also very obvious.
After Yelvzhi's victory on the court, he publicly stated that the opponent he wanted to defeat was the yellow relic of Jing State.
At that time, Huang Relic lifted up his yellow robe and prepared to leave. It took a lot of hard talking before I was persuaded to keep this battle in the main match...
Speaking of the Five Northwest Alliance, it’s time to talk about the Snow Kingdom in the extremely cold place.
Snow Country lives up to its name, with snow falling all year round in the country. This country is further west to the northwest and is the farthest country to the northwest within the known range of the world.
It is far away from the closest country, Han Country, and does not get involved in the affairs of the Five Northwest Alliance, and rarely communicates with other countries. There is quite a trend of "hiding in a small building to form a unified body and caring about spring, summer, autumn and winter."
If the Snow Country had not participated in the Yellow River Conference, and if a beautiful and bleak beauty like Xie Ai appeared this year, perhaps not many people would have remembered this country.
But the countries in the northwest will never ignore the mystery and power of Snow Country.
Especially in the past few years, in the face of the increasingly tough attitude of the Jing Kingdom, the Five Northwest Alliance has been trying to bring the Snow Country into the alliance and has had frequent exchanges. For its part, the Jing Kingdom has also shown favor to the Snow Kingdom many times.
In short, Snow Country’s current attitude is crucial in the northwest region. You can tell just by looking at how much Yelu Zhi pleases Xie Ai.
Finally, as two large countries that are geographically close to each other, Song and Wei have a strong sense of competition.
Yin Wenhua of the Song Dynasty qualified for the main competition first, but Dongguo Bao, the genius of the Wei Dynasty, unfortunately met Yelu Zhi and was pushed into the loser group.
This seems to mean that Song State has surpassed Wei State.
Dongguo Bao is a tall and thick man with red eyes. The expression of extreme self-blame and guilt is heart-wrenching.
In this round of finals, the seven winners will directly enter the main competition of the Yellow River Meeting.
The seven losers compete for the remaining three spots in the main draw. Of course, with Jiang Limeng's condition, he was determined not to fight the next battle.
So the remaining six geniuses will compete in the final round to determine the three winners.
This is also a very cruel final election.
Because they had just experienced a fierce battle and were all exhausted. But they have to fight one more game than the winner of the previous round and show more tricks.
In previous years, the geniuses who got these three places in the lower bracket have rarely been able to advance to another round in the main draw. Basically, the main draw is the end... But whether they can advance to the main draw is a huge difference in itself. .
Jiang Wang mainly focused on the battle between Lin Zhengren and Jiang Limeng today. Lin Zhengren was very good at delaying time, causing him to miss six other exciting battles.
I can only briefly read the general information on Qi State. A more complete and detailed analysis can only be seen after returning to Qi Street.
The six geniuses who had lost once were matched by lots and once again stood on the martial arts stage.
This is destined to be a tragic fight, because everyone knows that this is the last chance. The battle was even more intense than the previous one.
The final winners were Dong Guo Bao from Wei State, Jiang Shaohua from Shen State, and Chu Min from Xia State.
The victory of the first two is undisputed, especially Dongguo Bao of Wei State, who almost got up from a pool of blood. With a slightly tougher destiny, I survived until the end. And his opponent died on the spot. Jiang Shaohua also won half a move after fighting hard.
Only Chu Ming made many spectators complain.
In the previous round of battle with Dan Kingdom Xiao Shu, after Chi Tiannu was easily dismembered, he only summoned the one-legged ghost-faced rat bat to attack once, but was easily defended by Xiao Shu, who was well prepared, and then was knocked down. Next, he is the first genius to lose in the previous round.
At the beginning, many people felt that he was understood too much and was targeted too harshly, and that neither Tiger nor Chain Snake had time to repair, so he failed so quickly.
But until this round of the loser's match began, as the puppet Tiger and Chain Snake appeared one by one, Chumin defeated his opponent with nearly peak combat power.
Everyone knew that from the very beginning, Chu Ming's eyes had been on the loser's match. So when he faced Xiao Shu, he retained his combat power to the maximum extent.
In the end, he "waited for work" and defeated his scarred opponent.
This is undoubtedly disgraceful.
Those who come to watch the river platform are all geniuses from all over the world. Everyone has their own pride, and few people would make such a choice!
The Yellow Relic from Jing Kingdom even took the lead in booing from the stands.
But his face does not change when he is touched by pity.
He stands here now while his opponent has fallen.
No one can deny his victory, and no one can take away his spot in the main draw.
That's enough.
He stood proudly on the martial arts stage, seemingly taking the disdain from all directions as praise. He has a "temporary honor and disgrace, nothing to do with me" attitude, which actually made many senior figures nod secretly.
In any case, Chu Ming reasonably stayed within the rules and won a spot in the main draw. So this is the end result.
More than ten years later, when people look back at this Yellow River Tournament, they will probably only remember where Xia Guo got. Who would still remember how he got it?
Lin Zhengren of the Zhuang Kingdom, Yelu Zhi of the Liao Kingdom, Yin Wenhua of the Song Kingdom, Xiao Shu of the Dan Kingdom, Beigong Ke of the Yong Kingdom, Huang Su of the Liang Kingdom, Xie Ai of the Snow Kingdom, Dongguo Bao of the Wei Kingdom, and Shen Kingdom Jiang Shaohua, a member of the Xia Kingdom.
These ten people, plus the geniuses of six powerful countries in the world, together formed the lineup for the main game of the Yellow River Club. It can be said that the stars are bright and shining, and there is no weak one.
Just when Jiang Wang was about to get up and leave, suddenly, there seemed to be a "buzz" in the stands on all sides. Many people were whispering to each other and gave up transmitting messages completely. The crowd was full of voices for a while!
People were spreading the shocking news so much that it completely overshadowed their contempt for Chu Ming.
As a "strong talker", Qiao Lin was naturally one of the first people to receive the news.
This news was so shocking that when it reached Jiang Wang’s ears, Jiang Wang was stunned for a moment——
"Jingguo's top talent gave up the competition!"
There are 16 players missing in the main match of the Yellow River Club.
One stone stirs up a thousand waves!
Probably because the roster for the main match has been finalized, Jingguo confirmed the news now.
Jingguo, which is recognized by most people as the most powerful country in the world, and has always aimed at the Three Leaders, actually gave up the inner palace of the Yellow River Meeting?
Why? What happened?
This has certainly aroused suspicion, confusion and inquiry from too many people.
But at this moment, this may be a question that needs to be considered later. For many people present, another question may be more important - to whom will the main draw slot vacated by the Yellow River Club be given? Who has a chance?
People were eager to pass news to each other, and the scene was once out of control.
In the midst of the commotion, a tall figure suddenly flew into the arena and hung in the sky in the center. He has a square, maroon face, long eyebrows and a high nose, and is very majestic.
He turned around so that everyone could see him clearly and noticed his firm eyes.
Then he said: "I, Xian Nankui, am now the commander-in-chief of the Shence Army. Some people already know this news, and some people don't know it yet. I will officially say it here."
He looked around with a powerful look in his eyes: "I, Dajing'an, am a landlord, and I don't want to compete with guests in everything, so I will give up my place in the inner palace of this Yellow River Conference to give everyone in the world a chance to compete for the top spot."
The sound was not loud, but it quietly suppressed the noise of the whole place.
Today, in the martial arts arena shrouded by the Liuhe Pillar, although many big names came, after all, there was not a single high-ranking person from the top six in the world.
With so many people present, no one could be higher than Xian Nankui.
Therefore, his words were somewhat wanton.
"General Xian!"
Jiang Wang suddenly heard a familiar voice and turned his head. Cao Jie, who looked like a "little daughter-in-law", was sitting next to him at some point.
He was sitting in the stands, looking at Xian Nankui, who was hanging high in the middle of the martial arts stage, with a grimace on his face, but his words were impossible to ignore: "If you give up the game, give up the game, don't say it out of proportion."
At this time, there were still three geniuses who had won the final spot in the main competition standing on several scattered martial arts stages.
But everyone's eyes were only attracted to Xian Nankui hanging in mid-air.
No matter how talented he is, he can't help but feel gloomy in front of the commander-in-chief of the Great Jing Shen Ce Army.
However, Cao Jie faced him and maintained his momentum.
He sat next to Jiang Wang and continued slowly: "You Xian Nankui can be said to be a landlord in Jingguo, or even a landlord in the Central Region. Cao is too lazy to correct me. But this river viewing platform is shared by my human race. This suppression What stretches across the river is the holy altar where all the nations of the world worship together. We are not guests, how can you call us the Lord?"
Jing Guo considers himself a landlord here, but I, Qi, do not.
We and other countries from all over the world are coming to Guanhetai to participate in the Yellow River Conference with glorious history and long inheritance. This is a conference to suppress the Yangtze River and distribute the interests of the Gate of Ten Thousand Demons, not the conference of the world convened by your Jingguo.
If you want to wear the crown of the leader of the world, you are still far away!
As soon as Cao Du said these words, he immediately suppressed Xian Nankui's majesty and competed with him on this world stage.
Jiang Wang sat next to him and felt confident. Qiao Lin, the soldiers of Tianfu Army, all held their heads high and were very excited.
Before Xian Nankui could speak, another voice answered: "This place in the world can't be said to be close. It belongs to your Jingguo, right? Shengguo and our Muguo are also very close!"
At the east entrance, there stood an old man wearing a gorgeous golden and blue sacrificial robe.
Namodo, the golden-crowned priest of the Pastoral Kingdom!
He stood there with his eyes slightly lowered, like a feeble old man in his twilight years, not as domineering as he had just said.
Meng Wuya, the deputy prime minister of the Sheng Kingdom, was present. Of course he couldn't remain silent at this moment, even if he was facing a powerful country in the world.
Immediately he rolled up his sleeves, stood up in the stands, looked at Namodo and said: "This golden-crowned priest, I have a dream, so I can teach you that although the prosperous country is close to pastoralism, the pastoral country is also close to prosperity. !”
Du Ruhui, who was sitting next to Meng Wuya, couldn't help but shrink his gaze.
The Sheng Kingdom is really tough and deserves to be the first vassal state, a country that really dares to fight a large-scale war with the Mu Kingdom. Any other country would never dare to respond like this, even if it was a matter of national dignity. Because if it is as powerful as the Damu Empire, if it says it will destroy you, it will really destroy you, and it is not just showing off its power.
"Well said." Namodo raised his eyelids, suddenly opened his hands wide, and was bathed in divine light.
From a dying old man to a radiant priest of God, his voice suddenly became louder. He looked at Meng Wuya with eyes full of golden light and said: "Under the light of Cangtu God, I, the great shepherd, Wanli grassland welcomes athletes from Shengguo to ride!"
"Everyone, everyone!" It’s a grand event for the whole world, and everyone is at war with each other here, how can it be dignified?”
"If you can't beat it, just say you can't beat it. If there's no one, just say there's no one." A faint voice said.
Everyone looked up and saw a strong man with an ancient face and wearing light armor sitting on the seat behind Huang Relic.
He looked at Xian Nankui and said, "It's not interesting for you to be vain!"
Sitting behind the yellow relic, the only one who could talk to Xian Nankui like this was naturally the Jingguo Xiaoqi Commander Xia Houlie!
Xian Nankui looked at him quietly for a while.
He also looked at Xian Nankui nonchalantly, and even continued: "Jing Guo is so generous, why don't you give up on the next term, the next term, and every term in the future?"
Jingguo is indeed known as the strongest in the world, dominating the central region and eyeing the world. But when it comes to war, a military empire like Dajing that serves the war will really not back down from anyone.
At the same time, this is also a kind of temptation.
There must be a reason for Jingguo's prodigy to abandon the competition. And if the reasons behind this can be revealed in front of the stage, it will largely explain Jingguo's situation.
Among the top six in the world, who wouldn't care about Jing Guo?
Even among those Taoist countries, doesn’t anyone want to replace them and become a Taoist country?
For example, the first path belongs to a prosperous country, although it has always been obedient and hardworking. But looking at its true intention, is it willing to be the steel sword in Jing Guo's hand forever, or does it prefer to be the sword holder? Based on Shengguo's own interests, is it really willing to fight a tough battle with a powerful country like Muguo?
This is the fundamental national interest that is not influenced by anyone’s will at all. It will only in turn direct the flow of those wills.
At this moment, Namodo did not speak, and Cao Cao watched with cold eyes. Others have no confidence to speak out and have absolutely no desire to get involved.
In the end, Xian Nankui smiled, but his expression was not very clear on his maroon face.
He turned around and glanced at Namodo and Cao Jie one by one: "You take a leader too seriously. Let me put it another way. Jingguo voluntarily withdrew from the inner palace of this Yellow River meeting. The main competition gives a chance to countries other than the so-called top six in the world. This general believes that it is more appropriate to give the extra quota to Bai Yuxia, the genius of the Yue Kingdom. What do you think?"

ps: 薨 (hong): The death of a prince is called hong. The death of the emperor is called collapse.
