At this time, all parties finally reached a preliminary unified opinion. Then, they called out representatives of other first- and second-rate forces and continued the discussion.
These representatives include Song, Han, Liu, Dajingang Temple and other first-rate forces with ancestors at the peak of the Wuzong, as well as ordinary forces such as Qinghe Sword Sect and Kayaba Temple that have just squeezed into the second rate.
These first- and second-rate forces have one thing in common, that is, they all have strong men from the Wu Sect in charge, so they also have some basic say. For example, the preliminary agreement among the twelve top forces is that they all use 50% of their strength to form an army. But in fact they can also bargain a bit. Otherwise, if they are really desperate, it is not impossible for them to seek refuge in Netherworld Palace.
For example, the first-class families and sects that dominate the states are far more powerful than the second-class forces. Half of their strength is much stronger than the ordinary second-class forces. There is no reason for us to be strong, but we have to sacrifice more. The greater the ability, the greater the responsibility. This saying is used to mock others.
Another example is Qinghe Sword Sect, Kasyapa Temple and other sects that have just entered the second-rate. More than 80% of the strength of the entire sect lies in their only martial arts master. If they are half capable, they will definitely have to play in person. If it fails, hundreds of years of foundation may be interrupted.
Therefore, they discussed for an hour before reaching a consensus and sent the plan back to their respective forces. After obtaining approval, they finalized the plan.
Then the representatives quietly returned, selected masters, and formed an army.
At this time, King Chu Mufeng of Qi went to the backyard to talk to Ling Feng alone, and waved his hand to set up a soundproof barrier.
"Brother Lin, Mu Feng apologizes to you on behalf of uncle Qi Yunfei."
Chu Mufeng bowed respectfully, and then said: "As for Qi Wenhui and Qi Wenbin, they deserve to die. So, please don't worry about it, Brother Lin."
"Okay, let's talk about something!" Ling Feng said calmly.
"It is not safe enough for the army to have strong men from the Martial Sect in charge. If the Eight Demonic Sects send out strong men from the Martial King, no number of sects will be enough to kill them. So, Mu Feng wants to ask Brother Lin to take charge." Chu Mufeng said with a solemn expression.
Ling Feng chuckled and said: "There are so many powerful Martial Kings in Chu. Lin Feng is just a junior and cannot take on such an important responsibility."
Although on the surface Da Chu is Taizu, the four great generals and five powerful martial kings. But whoever really believes it has his head caught in the door. In three hundred years, Dachu would be damned if it couldn't even train a few strong Martial Kings. At least a pervert like Kuangren Chu, who was at the peak of the Martial Sect three hundred years ago, must have reached the Martial King realm now, and he must have at least condensed a high-grade golden elixir. And the Catcher and the Grand Governor are also very likely to be in the realm of King Wu. Moreover, his goal is not to command an army, but to change his identity, attack the rebels wantonly, and increase his energy and chivalry points.
Chu Mufeng looked indifferent and continued: "This is what my father meant. I heard that Brother Lin is collecting top-level monster inner elixirs. If Brother Lin is willing to accept this task, the court is willing to provide 5 top-level fourth-level monster inner elixirs." .”
The demonic beast inner elixir is much richer than the true energy of martial arts experts of the same level. The demonic power contained in the fourth-level top-level inner elixir is close to the low-level golden elixir in the early fifth-level. The effectiveness of these five inner elixirs is enough to push Ling Feng into the realm of marrow cleansing and blood exchange in the middle stage of Wuzong, and improve his proficiency.
Therefore, Ling Feng nodded and said: "I can only take care of them secretly. I will not take action easily until the powerful Demon King takes action."
Chu Mufeng smiled and said: "That's enough!"
Immediately, he decisively took out five inner elixirs, red, green, blue and white. They were rich in demonic power, but had different attributes and were slightly mixed, but they were enough for Ling Feng. They were all refined by the true energy of chaos anyway.
Ling Feng put the inner elixir away in a cold jade bottle and left naturally.
…
The next day, Youzhou City.
The Tang Dynasty sent 30,000 troops, divided into three groups, led by Fang Hongjian, Xiong Meng, and Xiao Yi, to attack the eleven counties of Youzhou. The attack was overwhelming. Except for the symbolic resistance of the first two counties, the remaining nine counties were all lookouts. And descend. Moreover, the troops from each county were received almost intact, and Fang Hongjian's troops increased sharply to more than 100,000.
There is no way. Although the county is high, it is nonsense to resist the strong men of Wuzong. Without the corresponding Wuzong-level combat power to resist, Fang Hongjian and the other three only had to seize the city gate alone, and naturally there would be younger brothers behind them. When it comes to fighting a war, there are basically two modes of war with the ancient earth. Of course, the most important thing is that the families and gangs in each county have been deeply infiltrated by the Eight Demonic Sects, and they dare not disobey the orders of the Netherworld Palace at all. Under the instructions of Netherworld Palace, these counties and cities surrendered so quickly.
With the unification of Youzhou, Fang Hongjian formally established the Tang Dynasty.
At this time, outside Youzhou City, a carriage stopped by the woods. A middle-aged man in white robes looked at the sky above Youzhou City, and a young man in silver stood aside. In the eyes of ordinary people, they only see blue sky and white clouds, but in the eyes of the middle-aged Taoist priests, they only see a red and yellow national destiny, in which a four-clawed yellow dragon rises. He smiled and said: "The hidden dragon ascends to the sky, not bad!"
Immediately, he turned around and got into the carriage.
The young man in silver clothes next to him also got on the carriage, started driving, and left quickly.
Not long after, the news of Fang Hongjian's unification of Youzhou spread back to Kyoto, shocking both the government and the public. The Tang army unified Youzhou so quickly, which really shocked them. The war potential of a state is far greater than that of a state city.
Under this pressure, the 100,000 troops prepared by the imperial court for the Northern Expedition quickly gathered at the Heilong River that separated Zhongzhou and Youzhou.
The Canglang Sword Sect also came with three strong martial arts masters, namely Zhenren Yuancang, Xuantiandu, and Luo Feng, as well as more than ten disciples from each peak. But Ling Feng was not among them. Other factions and aristocratic families also sent experts. The commander of this army was King Chu Mufeng of Qi.
Immediately, the Chu army and the Tang army gathered forces by the Heilong River on the border of the two states and began to confront each other.
In the afternoon, by the Heilong River, there was the Tang military camp.
In the camp, Tang Wang Fang Hongjian, General Xiong Meng, and Prime Minister Xiao Yi gathered together.
Xiong Meng said: "Brother, why haven't you sent out troops? Just those useless people from Da Chu can't break my indestructible body."
Fang Hongjian shook his head and said: "Nowadays, Chu's troops are strong and powerful, and there are more than fifty strong Wusong warriors in the military camp. Taking action hastily will not only be in vain, but may also expose flaws."
Now, both sides have invested too many troops and dare not attack rashly.
Xiao Yidao: "Brother, aren't there a lot of strong men from the Demonic Way and Martial Arts in our military camp to help us? Why don't we let them go to the front of the formation to call for formation!"
After hearing this, Fang Hongjian pondered for a moment and said, "Okay!"
Immediately, a middle-aged man in black clothes with a sword on his waist crossed the Heilong River and came to the Dachu military camp and shouted: "I'm here to learn from you!"
