Si Jiao took a deep look at Yu Liyang.
This powerful man of Yan Dao, who was too young for him, could be considered to have grown up under his watch.
When he was young, he was a famous swinger. When he later became a real person, he also called himself "Peach Blossom Fairy". The real prodigal is a real profligate. He is famous throughout the Southern Territory for his wanton style.
It was after Daxia suffered the calamity of annihilation that he seemed to have changed into a different person. Become upright, gentle and polite. Then, in the seventeenth year of Shenwu, he reached the pinnacle of transcendence.
If Jianfeng Mountain must be defended by one person, Sijiao would be the safest and best able to realize the strategic vision if he went there in person. . .
But he is the coach of this national war, and he should not be moved lightly, let alone be placed on the front line easily.
With the current situation in Xia Kingdom, there is no way that a real person in this world can be replaced like this.
After all the calculations, only Yu Liyang was the most suitable.
But even though he is a mighty King of Martial Arts, he cannot take the initiative to make this request.
He couldn't take the initiative to let a true king who was his equal take risks.
Therefore, if Yu Liyang had not thought about it, he was going to fill in an additional marquis and go to Fengjie Mansion with Jin Ling...
"We are not trying to defeat Qi in this battle. Although when we swore an oath, we all said we would invade the Eastern Region and break Linzi... But you and I both know that this is impossible. We are the ones who can repel the Qi army. The highest goal.”
Si Jiao said: "But actually we don't need to repel the Qi army. What we need to fight for is time. The total war between Jingmu and Mu has lasted for a full twenty-one days. Jingguo is the hero of the world and its power is unmatched. We don't know when, we can decide the outcome. We just need to hold back the Qi army, and when Jingguo wins the battle in the northern region, we will naturally win."
Yu Liyang put his hands behind his hands and looked into the distance. He didn't like this feeling of weakness of 'just holding on' and 'just buying time'. What you get from it depends on it. The current Xia Kingdom doesn't even have the willpower to rely on others.
But he also knew very clearly in his heart what the truth was.
He asked: "Does King Wu still remember how long we defended the emperor after his death in battle?"
"Thirty-three days."
Even though it was thirty-two years ago, when Si Jiao talks about it, it still feels like it was yesterday.
That kind of generous and heroic feeling cannot be buried by time.
"Even after the main force was defeated and the former emperor died in battle, we still defended the capital for thirty-three days. In thirty-three days, with every inch of mud and every inch of blood, our whole country fought to the death, held back Qi Feng, and built Yitian Watch. Emperor Qi has to return! This time Emperor Qi has not arrived yet, Jiang Mengxiong is not here, and it is Cao Jie who comes. We don’t focus on winning, and holding on for half a year will not be a problem. Half a year is enough for Jing Mu to divide There’s a winner!”
"I think so." Yu Liyang said. The tone was a little flat.
Sijiao thought for a while and decided to give Yu Liyang some reassurance, so he said: "Earlier in the outer world, I allowed a small world to establish friendship with the Changsheng Lord of Nandou Palace. This time I asked him to take action. Nandou Palace will support us in resisting Qi!"
Yu Liyang couldn't help but be moved!
The Changsheng Lord of Nandou Palace is a being who stands on the pinnacle of the extraordinary.
He was once known as the Immortal Emperor of Antarctica, he was in charge of an ancient sect, and he was the Immortal Emperor in the human world, so he was extremely illustrious.
Later, the Emperor of Chu forcibly removed his imperial title, and he was only called Changsheng Lord.
Si Jiao actually quietly invited a True Lord for support?
This is a very useful chess piece!
Used at critical moments, it can turn the tide of the battle!
But Yu Liyang also thought at the same time, no wonder King Wu didn't care about Jin Ling's envoy to Chu. It is impossible for Lord Changsheng to join the army with the Chu people. Since he invited Lord Changsheng, he had no hope for Chu from the beginning.
"Will Nandou Palace take full action?" Yu Liyang asked.
You must know that Nandou Hall is the largest sect in the world, and there are seven great masters in the hall, all of whom are strong at the moment. For today's Xia Kingdom, this is a real help in times of need.
Si Jiao said: "At least Lord Changsheng will take action once."
Of course Yu Liyang understood.
The so-called friendship between Sijiao and Changshengjun is highly questionable. It should just be that a certain agreement has been reached, in exchange for Changsheng Lord taking action once, and maybe one or two real people from South Doudian.
It is impossible to expect Nandou Palace to fully support... The ancient sect has its own rules for inheritance.
So what's the price?
This question rang in my heart, but I didn't ask it.
Yu Liyang finally just said: "As long as King Wu is here, the sky will not fall. There is no need to worry if you go alone!"
Si Jiao said sincerely: "If you can guard Jianfeng Mountain and delay the Qi army for half a month, it is best. If you can't do it... I also ask King Min to put the country first, don't cherish the name, and evacuate yourself. I'm afraid Xia 21st Mansion, without Fengjie Mansion and Xiangyou Mansion, every river and mountain can be fought. But without King Min, there will be no one in the mountains and rivers thousands of miles away who can fight... King Min, please don't leave me alone and silent. ah!"
"King Wu, don't worry, I know the importance."
Yu Liyang took one last look at the formation masters who were busy going up and down, and then at the Kowloon Fire Formation under construction in Tongyang City... one step away.
Of course, the Xia Kingdom also had a national defense formation - it was once removed and after the Qi army retreated, the Queen Mother Xia directly emptied the treasury and rebuilt the national defense formation again, so that the coronation ceremony of Xia Zi at that time was extremely unusual. Shameful. Even the emperor's crown uniform only has one set. Queen Mother Xia herself still wore the queen's uniform for a long time.
The Empress Dowager Xia's insistence on rebuilding the national defense formation was an important reason why the Xia Kingdom was able to get out of the war so quickly and settle down quickly after the disaster of overthrowing the country.
Its power is certainly extraordinary.
In any country, the national defense formation is fundamental.
But as the biggest card in Xia's national defense, the National Defense Formation must not be used so early.
Not to mention anything else, the resources consumed by opening the national defense formation are really terrifying. Every time it is opened, a huge amount of Dao Yuan Stone is consumed, so it cannot be used as a regular method.
Therefore, it is necessary to have a defense line similar to Jianfeng Mountain to supplement national defense and defend against foreign aggression.
Today, Jianfeng Mountain can no longer be relied upon.
The Tongyang City Defense Line is the second line of defense built by the Xia Army this time, and it is also the real line of defense against the Qi Army.
Garrison it with heavy troops and solidify it with the Nine Dragon Lihuo Formation.
Brick by brick, one person after another...
It's as if the entire Xia Kingdom's manpower and national strength have gathered together to create a huge tide. In a very short period of time, a huge chasm will be carved out!
…
…
Fengjie Mansion is located in the northeast of Xia Kingdom.
Jianfeng Mountain is the most famous majestic mountain in Xia Kingdom.
This is exactly what is said in "Daxia Fangzhi" that "the gateway to the Northeast is erected with the edge of a sword."
When Yang State was standing in the east, Emperor Yang's majesty never went beyond Jianfeng Mountain, so it became extremely famous.
Until last year, it was defeated by the Qi army.
Wang Yiwu, a young general of the Qi State, was in the vanguard, and his troops were quickly exhausted. All the countries along the way avoided the road and disappeared without a trace. Breaking into Xia Realm overnight, regardless of life or death, they attacked Jianfeng Mountain! They formed an army formation to kill Hua Fangyu, the guard of Jianfeng Mountain at that time. They didn't even have time to launch the mountain-protecting formation, and the ordnance all over the mountain was ordered to be transported away——
This was the story that should have made Wang Yiwu famous all over the world.
But later, Jiang Mengxiong stood on Jianfeng Mountain and asked about Emperor Xia.
Everything before was relatively bleak, and not many people cared about it anymore...
After all, in front of the name "Jiang Mengxiong", talking about the inner palace killing magical powers and outer buildings, and talking about the inner palace that is the best in the world is just like a child playing house.
Jiang Mengxiong once again became famous all over the world and showed his domineering power. This is nothing more than an example of his countless glorious achievements in the past.
As for Yu Liyang, who was the background of the punch that struck the abyss of a hundred miles and directly caused Xia Guo to show weakness and surrender, he was inevitably looked down upon by the people of the world.
That's why Yu Liyang, who climbed Jianfeng Mountain again, had mixed emotions.
He is the most suitable person to guard Jianfeng Mountain. Of course he also knows things that everyone else knows. The reason why An Guohou took the initiative to ask for death and Si Jiao wanted to give a hint was due to this complicated mood.
It's really not easy for him to face this.
Jianfeng Mountain is like a long sword piercing the sky from the earth, with the mountain as the handle and the stone as the edge. It is extremely dangerous and sharp. It is erected on the only way to enter the hinterland of Fengjie Prefecture.
It has the potential to break through the sky and create clouds.
If this mountain folds, the northeastern gate of Xia Kingdom will be wide open.
The defense construction of Jianfeng Mountain took decades, but it collapsed overnight.
The man surnamed Hua is really a loser. He only has a noble family, only has magical powers, and only has learned the art of war. It's all just paper skills!
But what we have to face is that in that battle, everyone in Xia Ting obviously lost their vigilance. At that time, no one thought that Qi Guoguo would suddenly send troops, because Yitian Temple was still there at that time, and Jingguo's intimidation was still there. Many people in the Xia Kingdom are still dreaming of peace of mind, thinking that they do not have to pay any price, hoping that an equal country can stir up civil strife in the country and cause the overlord to perish.
No one expected that Jiang Shu would be so powerful at that time!
Yu Liyang even saw——
At that time, the Qi army was able to quickly coordinate with the countries along the way, and ordered the forward army to advance straight in. News was blocked along the way, so that the speed of information transmission could not keep up with the speed of the march.
This is not only a demonstration of the strength of Qi's army, but also sufficient to show that from Qi to Xia, those small countries caught in the gap between the two countries had already had a firm political bias.
The gap between Qi and Xia may not be clear to many Xia people after the revival of Shenwu, but the attitudes of the surrounding small countries are clear enough...
Looking at the jagged and strange rocks on the mountain, looking at the continuous fortifications that have been restored, at least on the surface.
Yu Liyang will inevitably think of the blood rain that day.
Thinking of that pair of fists that can crush the world...
I remember the desperate look in Taihua’s eyes!
At that time, they, one True Lord and five True Masters, went to Jianfeng Mountain together, formed a seven-jue seven-kill formation, and besieged Jiang Mengxiong.
The so-called absolute heaven, absolute earth, absolute person, absolute will, absolute strength, absolute heart, absolute path.
These are the seven absolutes.
This is the killing array for Taihua’s enlightenment!
He controls the Dao Tu Fundamental Sect, Taihua controls the Jue Tian Sect and the Jedi Sect... The seven Jue Sects all open together, with a killing power that is almost devastating to the heaven and earth, overwhelming the entire Jianfeng Mountain defense line.
But everything was shattered by the pair of fingers named "The Overthrown Killing General".
Even with the blessing of the killing array, he couldn't withstand it. Master Taihua was killed with just one punch...
Perhaps the biggest good news about this national war is that Jiang Mengxiong did not participate in the battle.
However, since Cao Jie was able to win the competition and become the commander-in-chief of Qi's army, was the force he commanded really not as formidable as Jiang Mengxiong?
I hope it’s really because Jiang Mengxiong’s meritorious service was so great that he was tabooed by Emperor Qi, so he failed to command the army!
Yu Liyang stepped to Jianfeng Mountain in one step, immediately took over the power, and deployed defenses in three ways.
But when he sat down on the top of the mountain and waited for Qi Jun.
He lost his meaningless "hope" again.
how can that be possible? he thinks.
Who is the Emperor of the Eastern Kingdom?
…
…
"The Grand Marshal of the country may have made too many achievements and was tabooed by the Emperor of Qi. That's why he was unable to control the Xia army. Otherwise, how could he lose to Cao Jie?"
"The cunning rabbit is dead, and the lackey is cooked! Qi has become the overlord, and the military god is useless. It only consumes the country's power and cannot fulfill its share. It is suspected that his achievements are greater than those of the master!"
"The state of Qi has no public, Jiang Mengxiong is in charge of the military hall, he is at the top of Yandao, he is appointed as the grand marshal of the country, and he is known as the military god of Qi. He has no title and no reward. How can he be promised any more? For your contribution to conquering Xia? How will the emperor reward you? Could it be Longting?!"
War never exists in isolation. Fighting with power, fighting with alliances, deciding with swords and axes, clashing with each other in the court. For example, public opinion and national opinion are all weapons.
Rumors spread quickly in Linzi.
And each one is more dangerous than the last.
It seemed like a spark fell into the oil pan and exploded immediately.
Of course, it also reached the ears of the emperor.
It was used as a resting place before court meetings, and was often used as a study room for the emperor... The layout of Donghua Pavilion has not been changed in fifty-six years.
Only last year, there was an extra stone screen.
Pictures of sentient beings are painted on it.
At this time, Qi Tianzi stood in front of the stone screen with his hands behind his hands, watching and listening quietly.
Han Ling, the head of the internal officials, finished his report without adding or subtracting a word, and then stood there, silent, as if he had sunk into the shadow of a lamp.
Emperor Qi suddenly laughed: "It is much faster than Cao Jie's marching speed."
Rumors naturally spread faster than a million troops marching.
There was no Donghua bachelor around today, so he spoke more casually.
Otherwise, if this word gets out, it will easily make people think that the emperor is dissatisfied with Cao Jiu's speed. Spreading the word will put tremendous pressure on the front line.
Han Ling remained silent and had no opinions to express.
"I don't care how these voices came to me." Qi Tianzi said slowly: "I just want to ask you, have they been dealt with?"
Rumors are like this, three people can become a tiger, and a crowd of words can make a fortune. Repeated ten times and hundreds of times, the false ones became true. After listening to it hundreds of times, I can't help but feel guilty.
Han Ling bowed and said, "I couldn't find anything useful, so I fed them all to the ferocious beasts."
He added: "It is my dereliction of duty to taint the emperor's ears with this rumor. Let's start to rectify it."
"That's all." Qi Tianzi waved his hand: "These people can't be killed all."
"Today they are loyal, tomorrow they will be traitors. They are reliable this year, but not next year. How can we kill them all? When the Xia Kingdom is gone, they will naturally settle down."
Han Ling then silently retreated into the shadows.
"Some are deaf, some are mute, some are bad, some are stupid, some are sincere, some are taking advantage of the opportunity to cause trouble, some are confused for a while, and some are smart all their lives!"
Emperor Qi looked at this picture of all living beings, as if he had found what he saw among all the living beings. It seemed like nothing was found.
After all, that figure has stayed in autumn forever.
In the end, he just sighed——
"What a beautiful painting!"

Thank you to all readers for your support.
I should write more recently, but the Battle of Xia is really difficult to write about.
I seemed to be standing on that battlefield, watching the collision of two powerful countries, but I was just an ordinary person who was not extraordinary, with mortal eyes. I couldn't understand many things. There were some things beyond my imagination. Why? It cannot be formed.
I want to describe the painting in front of me, but it's a bit difficult to start. I don't know which part to start from.
I, like you, walk in the fog of that world.
Let's go, let's go!
