Chapter 2600: Lu suppresses the Queen, and the Southern Kingdom sends troops
Even though there was already a war at Yangping Pass, and even the Southern Barbarians might send troops, Liu Yu still held the enthronement ceremony as scheduled.
The scale of this enthronement ceremony was very large, no less than when Ying Hao ascended the throne. The whole Chengdu was filled with flags and banners. The only pity was that there were too few invited forces, only the two countries of Chu and Ming. That’s all.
Because of Da Qin's interference, Liu Yu could not invite representatives from other countries to watch the ceremony, so he could only invite some people with huge influence to support his appearance, such as Yan Dan, the great scholar of Chu Dynasty, Meng Ke, the leader of Southern Confucianism, and Xia Kui of the peasant family. Shennong, Zhuang Zhou, the leader of the Taoist clan, and Sakyamuni, the Mahayana Buddhist Buddha, etc.
In addition, Yin Xi, Lu Chunyang, Xu Xing, Wenshu, fear Liusun, Mo Zhai, Huang Chengyan, Sima Hui and other hundreds of great masters were also invited to the scene to review the army with Liu Yu on the imperial city.
Among the people invited to watch the ceremony, there were three people who stood out, namely Huang Chengyan, Sima Hui and Shennong.
Huang Chengyan is Zhuge Liang's father-in-law and the master of Qin Mo's great son Jing Tianming.
Sima Hui is the younger brother of contemporary Gui Guzi and the master of Zhuge Liang, the governor of Jizhou in the Qin Dynasty.
Shennong, Fuxi and Xuanyuan are all sworn brothers, and they are Tian Yan's master.
Everyone present was basically anti-Qin, and only three of them were pro-Qin.
Huang Chengyan and Shennong naturally didn't want to come, but one of them was the former leader of the Mo family and the other was the current leader of the Nong family. Since Chu Mo and the Nong family accepted the invitation, they naturally had to come.
As for Sima Hui, he was invited here by Su Qin, the Prime Minister of Shu. Although he didn't want to come, he couldn't stand Su Qin's pleading. In addition, his old friend Huang Chengyan and Yang Ren asked him to accompany him, so he came to join in the fun.
The positions of Huang Chengyan, Sima Hui, and Shen Nong were completely different from those of other anti-Qin people, and Dao was different and did not conspire with each other, so they did not communicate too much with other people. Instead, the three of them gathered together to chat among themselves. .
"Two seniors, do you think Great Qin will send someone to disrupt Liu Yu's enthronement ceremony this time?" Shennong asked, but there was a hint of expectation in his heart.
All the high-level officials of the farmer's family turned to the Shu Kingdom, and his leader became a decoration, so he very much wanted to get the farmer's family out of the quagmire of the Shu Han.
After Huang Chengyan and Sima Hui looked at each other, Sima Hui shook his head and said with a smile: "Probably not. Liu Yu was thorough this time. He invited as many as three people from the Quasi-Half-step Xuanjing realm, let alone It’s said to be other great masters.”
Hearing this, Shennong's heart suddenly sank.
There are three masters who are close to the half-step profound realm?
Besides the Queen and Sakyamuni, who could be the third person? It can’t be Zhuang Zhou.
Shen Nong felt that Zhuang Zhou was unlikely to break through to the Quasi-Half-Step Mysterious Realm, and this third person should most likely be Mo Di from the Moh family.
If there are really three quasi-half-step Xuanjing masters present, unless Great Qin can invite any three of the four Taoists Yuqing and Shangqing, the Yin-Yang Emperor Taiyi, and Yinglong, how many great masters will there be? doesn't mean much.
After all, Xuanjing and Grandmaster are not at the same level of power at all.
Yinglong will definitely take action for Da Qin, but it is hard to say about Yuqing and Shangqing. After all, there are many Taoists invited.
When Ying Hao is in danger, Yuqing and Shangqing will help, but if they take the initiative to help Da Qin and suppress the Taoist and Baijia forces, this is unlikely.
As for Donghuang Taiyi?
The Yin Yang Family and Da Qin are deeply tied, and Tai Yi also took the initiative to help Da Qin deal with the Japanese Shinto Sect, so he does not have so many worries. If it were an ordinary force, he would most likely take action.
But this time was different. Among the guests invited by Shu Han was Lu Ya, a traitor to the Yin and Yang family.
Who is Lu Ya? He is the son of Lu Jun, the leader of the Yin Yang family before Tai Yi.
Lu Jun and Taiyi are not only brothers, but also senior fellow apprentices.
Taiyi's surname was Lu, and Taiyi was his Taoist name. He was known as the Eastern Emperor, while Lu Jun was known as the 'Western Emperor'. The two brothers were collectively called the 'Western Emperor and the Eastern Emperor' by the world.
It was only later that Lu Jun died at the hands of Taiqing to protect Taiyi, and then Taiyi became the new leader of the Yin and Yang family.
Taiyi felt guilty about the death of his eldest brother Lu Jun, so he naturally doted on his nephew Lu Ya to the extreme, and this also developed Lu Ya's self-centered character.
As the son of Lu Jun, and with the support of Taiyi, Lu Ya should be a sure thing to become the next leader of the Yin Yang family, but Fu Xi happened to show up halfway.
Fu Xi was tolerant and refined, not as overbearing and paranoid as Lu Ya. After breaking through the Grand Master before Lu Ya, he gained the support of most people in the Yin Yang family, and finally stepped on Lu Ya and became the new leader.
In Lu Ya's heart, his father was the leader and his uncle was also the leader. Fuxi was just an outsider, so why should he argue with him? So the leader must be himself.
But in the end, the new leader of the Yin and Yang family was Fuxi.
Lu Ya couldn't accept his failure, and out of jealousy and resentment, he turned against the Yin Yang family and established his own Sun Sect to specifically oppose Fu Xi.
With Taiyi's relationship, the Yin and Yang family naturally did not deal with Lu Ya, but Lu Ya became more arrogant and complacent.
Now it is even more clear that the Yin Yang family is siding with Da Qin, but Lu Ya dares to blatantly side with Shu Han. He simply doesn't know how to write the word "death".
Looking at Lu Ya, who was chatting and laughing with everyone in the crowd, with a smile on his face, Shennong knew that he should have been on Shuhan's side.
If Lu Ya was in Chengdu, not only might Taiyi not take action, but he might also do bad things. After all, he couldn't watch his only nephew die.
Yuqing, Shangqing, and Taiyi didn't take action. If there was only one Yinglong left, even if they took action, it would be useless. After all, the three quasi-half-step Xuanjing masters on Shuhan's side were not just for nothing.
"Pity."
Shennong sighed in his heart, but then he realized, how did Sima Hui know about such a confidential matter?
Shennong looked at Sima Hui suspiciously, but Sima Hui just smiled and said nothing.
Shennong knew clearly that it must have been revealed by Su Qin, the Prime Minister of Shu.
Su Qin wanted to use Sima Hui's relationship to reveal the news to Da Qin so that Da Qin could retreat.
With the current number of strong men in Chengdu, they are not afraid even if the Qin invades. However, on such an important occasion as the enthronement ceremony, Shu Han definitely does not want the Qin to cause trouble.
Of course, it is also possible that Su Qin did this deliberately and set a trap in advance to lure Da Qin's masters into jumping into it.
While Shennong was thinking about it, Huang Chengyan patted him on the shoulder and said seriously: "Shen Nong, Taoism, Confucianism, Mohism, and Buddhism have all been divided. No matter who will dominate the world in the future, at least Taoism will remain intact.
But your peasant family hanged themselves on the Shu Han tree, and the possibility of Shu's desire to dominate the world is too low.
Have you ever thought about it. If the country of Shu is not unified in the future, what will happen to your farm family? "
Of course Shen Nong had thought about this matter, and had planned to split the farm family, but Liu Yu's method of winning people's hearts was too clever.
The peasants, from the supreme elders to the ordinary disciples, were all devoted to Liu Yu and the Kingdom of Shu. Instead, he, the leader, became a decoration.
In this case, if Shennong alone ran away without many farm disciples following him, it would not achieve the purpose of dividing the farm family.
It is precisely because of this that Shennong will continue to stay in the farmhouse. After all, he cannot watch the farmhouse that has been passed down for thousands of years and gave birth to him and raised him be wiped out by Tian Guang, Chen Sheng and others.
Shennong was observing Lu Ya, and Lu Ya was also observing Shennong. After all, Shennong was the sworn brother of his mortal enemy Fuxi. If Shennong could be killed, Fuxi would definitely be sad for a long time, so Lu Ya looked at Shennong with a look full of emotion. Killing intent.
Shen Nong noticed Lu Ya's murderous intention, and a sneer suddenly flashed in his eyes. How dare a mere half-step grand master show his murderous intention towards him? It's just a matter of life and death.
Shennong was not Fuxi, so he was naturally not used to Lu Ya. With a grandmaster-level momentum and murderous intent, he pressed on Lu Ya without any reservation. The two actually fought through the air with their momentum.
"Huh?"
Jian Lu Ya could not reach the level of a grand master, but in the duel of momentum, he was no weaker than his grand master. Even Shen Nong showed a different look in his eyes.
"It's really not that easy for Lu Ya to compete with Brother Fuxi for the top spot. Even if he hasn't broken through the Grand Master yet, his strength has surpassed most of the Grand Masters." Shennong thought to himself.
Just when Shen Nong and Lu Ya were dueling with each other in aura, a white-haired old man with an immortal spirit walked slowly into the aura of the two people, waving his hand to see the two people's hind legs being shocked at the same time.
After Shennong took five steps back, colleagues Huang Chengyan and Sima Hui appeared behind him and put their hands on his shoulders respectively, which stopped the impact just now.
As for Lu Ya, the old man had intended to hold back, so he only retreated for a walk and then stopped on his own.
Lu Ya was naturally furious about this, but when he saw the old man's appearance, the anger on his face immediately disappeared, and he said respectfully: "Senior Houqing."
The old man was the Hou Qing who was the same guardian of the Han Dynasty as Zhulong, and he was also the grandfather of the world-famous Arrow God Hou Yi.
After Hou Qing nodded to Lu Ya, he said to Shennong and the others: "Junior, don't cause trouble."
After saying that, regardless of Shennong's reaction, he turned around and left.
Looking at Hou Qing's leaving figure, Shen Nong snorted with an unkind expression, and said with an unhappy expression: "It's just relying on my age, what's the point of being arrogant? I will definitely be stronger than him in twenty years."
"I'm afraid that old guy will die of old age in twenty years." Huang Chengyan said with a smile.
Shennong: "..."
After Hou Qing settled the conflict between Shennong and Lu Ya, Su Qin, the Prime Minister of Shu, and Wang Yue, who was in charge of Da She He, came together.
When Hou Qing saw the visitor, he immediately understood his purpose and asked, "Are you all ready?"
"Ready."
Wang Yue nodded, and then said: "The twenty-four fields of the farmer's land are indeed mysterious, no wonder even people like Taoist Taoist Master Taiqing have fallen in love with them.
It would be fine if Da Qin didn't come to cause trouble this time. If he did come, Da Qin would definitely suffer a big loss. "
The Qin Dynasty has twenty-four lands, but how could Shu, which has obtained the services of farmers, not have it?
The reason why Su Qin invited Sima Hui and deliberately revealed the news to him was because he really wanted Da Qin to retreat in the face of difficulties. Of course, nothing would happen if Da Qin didn't come.
But if the Qin Dynasty knew this but still dared to come, then the Shu Han would naturally have a way out. Even if they suffered 800 losses, they would still use the twenty-four of Di Ze to annihilate all the intruders.
The Shu Han and Sui Dynasties could not directly gather twenty-four grand masters to form a formation like the Qin Dynasty did with the Tai Qing Dynasty. However, if Xing Tian, Kong Peng, Lu Ya and others could fill in the formation, the effect would not be much worse than that of all the grand masters.
The Qin Dynasty could rely on the twenty-four Dize who were not the Grand Master version of all members, and could kill Zhulong, the Grand Master, without dying. Then the Shu Han could naturally kill Yinglong as well.
It has to be said that Su Qin, the Prime Minister of Shu, is quite qualified. Not only did he manage the court of Shu in an orderly manner, but even hundreds of families and rivers and lakes obeyed his political skills.
Among the hundreds of families, the Zongheng family has the smallest number, but it is true that everyone has talents that can control the world.
——————————————
Just when Liu Yu was holding a ceremony to declare himself emperor in Chengdu, Chi You, who was far away in Nanzhong, also received news that the Qin army had stormed Yangping Pass.
As soon as this news came out, everyone in the Southern Kingdom was very excited. After all, with Da Qin attracting firepower in Hanzhong and attracting most of the Shu army, the Southern Army would naturally have greater confidence in seizing southern Shu.
Gonggong couldn't wait to say: "Main attack, what are you waiting for? Send troops quickly."
Chi You smiled and said, "Don't worry, it won't be too late to send troops when the Shu army in the middle of Shu moves north.
Liu Yu should be grateful to the king. It is because of the king's mercy that he can safely proclaim himself emperor. "
Two days later, news came from Chengdu that Da Qin did not send anyone to cause trouble, and Liu Yucai immediately sent more troops to Hanzhong County as soon as he proclaimed himself emperor. Now there are not many mobile troops in Shuzhong.
Chi You laughed when he heard the news, waved his hand and said directly: "I am sending an order from the king to send out 150,000 troops to attack the Shu Han."
In this way, as soon as Liu Yucai proclaimed himself emperor, he attracted a north-south attack from the Qin Dynasty and the Southern Barbarians.
The Qin Dynasty's army of 100,000 attacked Yangping Pass in Hanzhong, while the Nanman army of 150,000 attacked southern Shu.
Unlike the Qin Dynasty, which was blocked by Yangping Pass, the Nanman offensive was extremely rapid.
The defenses built by the Shu Han in southern Shu cannot be said to be completely useless, it can only be said that their effect is not that great.
Chi You personally led the army to attack with force, and it took only four days to capture the five counties of Jianning. It was an overwhelming force and frightened the Shu Han court.
