Countless bats were flying in the sky above the former headquarters of the Gengjin Sect. The Daewon Army was stationed below. A temporary "Northern Expedition City" was established!
It was the headquarters of the Daewon Army's Northern Expedition.
A giant sand table was placed in the main hall of the Northern Expedition City. A general in red stood with his hands behind his back as he looked at the sand table.
A group of subordinates carefully explained the situation of the sand table and pointed out the internal layout of the troops.
"Grand Marshal, this is the city under our control and the direction of the troops!" A group of subordinates said respectfully as they pointed at the sand table.
The general in red squinted his eyes and revealed a faint smile. "The Da Ying Dynasty's troops are so weak."
"Yes. Just now, news came from Yingdu. The fate of the Da Ying Dynasty has collapsed. Lü Yang should have died. The news also spread that Lü Yang appeared for the last time and shouted to kill Gu Hai in Lu Shen City! "
"Oh? Lü Yang died in Lu Shen City? "The Grand Marshal in red frowned slightly.
"Report!"
Suddenly, a bat flew into the main hall. It immediately turned into a human-shaped guard.
The Grand Marshal in red had his back facing the guard and did not turn around.
"Grand Marshal, I was at the border of the Lu Shen Dynasty and found out that Huangfu Chaoge had died. The Lu Shen Dynasty no longer exists and has completely handed over to Gu Hai! Gu Hai used the power of the country to kill Lü Yang! "the guard said respectfully.
"Oh?" The Grand Marshal in red turned to look at the guard.
The guard reported in detail what he saw in one of the cities.
The red-robed commander turned his head to look at the sand table where Lu Divine City was located.
"Chaoge City? Ha, this Gu Hai really knows how to win the hearts of the people! "The Grand Marshal in red said coldly.
"That's right. Grand Marshal, Mr. Mo sent you a message. He asked you to be wary of Gu Hai and not make him an enemy!" a subordinate reminded him.
"Ha, be wary? Gu Hai used the power of the country to kill Lü Yang, who was severely injured by Huangfu Chaoge. That's a huge advantage. Secondly, Gu Hai can't make the 12 cities united in such a short time! "The Grand Marshal in red said seriously.
"Yes!"
"However, since Mr. Mo said so, we have to be careful. These 12 cities are already surrounded by the Daewon Imperial Dynasty. They're considered the Daewon Imperial Dynasty's countries. It's only a matter of time before we take them down. However, it seems that Gu Hai isn't a law-abiding person. Since that's the case, let's take down these 12 cities first, just in case!" Solemnly the Grand Marshal in red said.
"I request to take down the 12 cities!" Suddenly, a pale-faced general stepped forward.
"Chang Ming?" The Grand Marshal in red frowned as he looked at the pale-faced general.
The pale-faced general smiled slightly and said, "Grand Marshal, my eighth army hasn't been touched yet. Let me take it. Don't worry, I won't disappoint the Grand Marshal. Moreover, I've already opened the Sky Palace!"
The Grand Marshal in red stared at Chang Ming for a while and said, "Chang Ming, you've opened the Sky Palace, but it's only been half a year. You've only opened the Sky Palace for a short while. Don't bite off more than you can chew!"
"No, Grand Marshal. I know that Gu Hai killed Lü Yang, but what kind of situation was that? Lü Yang was already on the verge of death. Gu Hai only dealt the final blow. Although this is the first time I'm leading an army, it's easy to deal with Gu Hai. As long as we can take down Gu Hai, there won't be any obstacles in the 12 cities! "Chang Ming said confidently.
The Grand Marshal in red seemed to be weighing something. After a long silence, he finally nodded and said, "Alright!"
"Thank you, Grand Marshal!" Chang Ming said with a smile.
Chaoge City! In Gu Hai's study room!
Gu Hai sat behind the desk, holding a cup of tea. He took a sip and looked at the officials in front of him. The leader was Tang Chu, who used to be the manager of Gu Hai.
"Have you finished reading?" Gu Hai looked at the sixty officials and asked.
"Yes, the three hundred pages of information given by the Emperor have all been recorded!" The officials said respectfully.
"What do you think?" Gu Hai said lightly after drinking a sip of tea.
The leader, Tang Chu, took a deep breath and said, "Your Majesty, the information given by the Emperor is not the 12 cities we already control, but the other 12 cities!"
"Mm, continue!" Gu Hai smiled after drinking the tea.
"These 12 cities have a special characteristic. They used to belong to the Shenlu Dynasty, but they were later taken over by the Da Ying Dynasty, the Gengjin Sect, the Greedy Wolf Sect, and the Great Huang Dynasty. Recently, they became the territory of the Daewon Imperial Dynasty!" Tang Chu said Solemnly.
Gu Hai nodded.
"Your Majesty wants us to open branches of the world's number one zither pavilion in these 12 cities. Do you have any plans for these 12 cities?" Tang Chu asked boldly.
Gu Hai nodded and took a deep breath. "The Shenlu Dynasty used to have twenty-five cities. Tianhe City was destroyed by the Gengjin Sect, so there are twenty-four cities left. Half of them are in my hands, and the other half are in the hands of the Daewon Imperial Dynasty! I believe that the people there still have feelings for Huangfu Chaoge, so I hope to get all 12 cities back in one go! "
"Is that so?" The eyes of the officials lit up at first, but then they became worried.
"Your Majesty, are we pulling a tooth from the tiger's mouth? Will they …? "Tang Chu said worriedly.
"I am pulling a tooth from the tiger's mouth. It is normal for you to be worried about the revenge of the Daewon Imperial Dynasty. Heh, if I don't make a move, will the Daewon Imperial Dynasty let go of the 12 cities we control? "Gu Hai sneered.
"They won't!"
"Since they won't, why can't I take the risk?" Gu Hai said solemnly.
"But …!"
"Don't worry, the Daewon Imperial Dynasty is not invincible. This war will not last forever. Before the war ends, I want to get as many cities as possible!" Gu Hai said solemnly.
"Yes, Your Majesty!" The officials answered.
These were all old followers of Gu Hai. Gu Hai could feel Gu Hai's unshakable will with just one look. They would carry out the emperor's orders.
"Your Majesty, what should we do?" Solemnly, Tang Chu asked.
"This time, you will be in charge of the overall situation. You will lead the 12 cities to open branches of the 'First Pavilion of this Street'. You will focus on the zither. In the First Pavilion of this Street, you can also store other goods such as elixirs, treasures, weapons, and Go. The business model will not change. Set them up as soon as possible!" Gu Hai said.
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
"I will arrange for a large number of experts from the Divine Lu Dynasty to follow you. They will be in charge of completing all the tasks that you have given them. When the time comes, I will slowly teach you how to use a shop to seize a city!" Gu Hai said.
"Yes, Your Majesty!" Everyone answered.
"Your Majesty, we have returned from Silver Moon City with half a year's worth of income from the First Pavilion of this Street!" Respectfully, Tang Chu handed over a ledger.
"Oh?" Gu Hai did not look at the ledger. Instead, he looked at Tang Chu.
"In the past half a year, we have earned a total of 40 million high-grade spirit stones!" Respectfully, Tang Chu reported.
Gu Hai nodded and said, "Your management is pretty good."
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" The officials smiled.
In the Han Dynasty's territory of the divine continent, 50 flying ships were flying rapidly toward Chaoge City.
The Han Dynasty had just stepped into the divine continent and had not yet gained a firm foothold. Otherwise, the 50 foreign flying ships would not have been able to enter the Dahan's territory so easily without anyone stopping them.
On the leading flying ship, there were two flags. One had the word 'Yuan' written in large letters, while the other had the word 'Chang' written in large letters.
On the deck of the flying ship, Chang Ming wore a long black robe and sat elegantly on a chair. He held a crystal cup in his hand, which was half filled with a scarlet liquid. If one looked carefully at the layer of blood platelets floating on the liquid, they would realize that this half cup was not filled with wine, but with blood.
Chang Ming took a sip elegantly and narrowed his eyes as he looked into the distance.
"General, we will reach Chaoge City soon!" a subordinate said respectfully.
Chang Ming narrowed his eyes and said, "I have already seen it. Chaoge City? Heh, do you think Gu Hai will surrender in fear if he knows that I have the cultivation of the Heaven Opening Palace Realm? "
"Uh …!" That subordinate fell silent for a while, not knowing how to answer.
"Mr. Mo and the Grand Marshal told me to be careful of Gu Hai. However, no matter how powerful he is, does he have three heads and six arms? According to the news from Nine-Five Island, Ao Shun must have been deceived because his head was stuck between a door. Only a fool like Ao Shun would believe such a lousy lie. Be careful of Gu Hai? What is there to be careful of? In front of absolute power, all schemes and schemes are a joke! "Chang Ming said indifferently.
"Yes!"
"Lü Yang lost to Gu Hai. At that time, Lü Yang was already at the end of his rope. Why don't you try to get him to deal with me again? Heh! "Chang Ming said with a cold smile.
"General, this is your first time leading an army. Perhaps …!"
"Do you think I'm lying to you?" Chang Ming's eyes turned cold as he looked at his subordinate.
"This subordinate does not dare. However, the military is not a small matter! We cannot be careless! "that subordinate said with a lowered head.
"Humph! What do you know? These twelve cities were predetermined to belong to my Daewon Imperial Dynasty. So what if it is my first time leading an army? The Grand Marshal still let me come because this battle was easy to begin with. I just want to earn some military merits. What do you know? "Chang Ming said disdainfully.
"Yes!"
"At that time, watch me take down the twelve cities without expending a single soldier. Hahahahaha!" Chang Ming laughed confidently.
His subordinates were slightly confused but did not dare to say anything.
Chaoge City: Huangfu Palace Hall:
Gu Hai wore a dragon robe and a flat imperial crown as he sat on the dragon throne. He looked down at the two rows of officials and issued one decree after another.
All the officials in the royal court listened patiently.
Suddenly, a guard rushed into the hall.
"Report!"
The urgent military report could ignore all obstacles and reach the heavens.
"Reporting to the Emperor, the Daewon Imperial Dynasty's army has fifty flying ships and about five hundred thousand soldiers. They have appeared twenty kilometers south of the city!" that guard reported anxiously.
"What? The Daewon Imperial Dynasty's army? "the officials were shocked.
Gu Hai narrowed his eyes and slowly stood up from the dragon throne.
"Whoosh!"
He waved his sleeves and slowly stepped down from the dragon throne with his hands behind his back. He walked out of the Huangfu Palace Hall step by step. The officials followed Gu Hai and slowly stepped out of the hall. They looked toward the south of the city.
The Huangfu Palace Hall was very high. They could see the fifty flying ships twenty kilometers south of the city. They were lined up in a row and floated in the air. On each flying boat, there was a large flag with the word 'Yuan' written on it fluttering in the wind.
"The Daewon Imperial Dynasty? They came so quickly? "Gu Hai's expression was gloomy.
