– Dingzhou City –
At night, the sky was dotted with stars. Suddenly, an ominous star shone brilliantly. It shone brightly for a moment, then dimmed down right after.
"The Goat Star Power dissipated?"
Wu Ming saw this and was startled. "It seems that Wu Tiehu is dead!"
In fact, the stars had existed for thousands of years. How could they disappear just because of the death of a star?
Since ancient times, when a general died and a meteor fell, it was only because the gathered star power dissipated and turned into flowing lights.
It was indeed a great loss for the stars, but it was far from hurting them.
"Sigh …"
Wu Ming watched this scene silently and sighed leisurely. This person was surrounded by tribulation energy, so he had a good death. Otherwise, Exi and I would have to personally send him to face the tribulation in the future, which would not be good. Now that he died in battle, he sacrificed his life for the country, and his descendants will have to compensate him …
In fact, this person's talent was limited to being a lieutenant in a county. It was already a blessing from the heavens that he could become a fifth-rank general.
However, Wu Ming cheated for him again and again. In the end, he directly made Wu Tiehu the true lord of the Goat Star Fate!
How great was this fortune? Fortune?
If one's foundation was weak and couldn't withstand it, he would be easily contaminated by the dark side of the star power. His temperament would change, and he would become violent and murderous.
However, if Wu Ming hadn't changed his fate for him, he would have died in the Spiritual State expedition. Now that he could live for a few more years, it was worth it.
At this moment, in the starry night in the south, many stars shone brightly and surrounded a purple star in the middle, looking like a king descending.
"Good!"
When Wu Ming saw it, he nodded. "Although we lost a general, after this battle, the south is settled, and there is no more resistance … What's left is just to lead a million troops to cross the north and attack, like the autumn wind sweeping away the fallen leaves … But there must be twists and turns!"
Although the north was in a state of disunity and could only form an alliance like this once, it couldn't stop people in their own camp from leaking information and holding them back.
Moreover, there was a huge hidden danger.
"Jue Tian Immortal Master …"
Wu Ming murmured and spat out a name.
If the Dazhou was unified again, the barbarians would not stand a chance anymore. Under such circumstances, no matter how cowardly they were before, they would definitely jump out, right?
"In terms of the general trend, Ehuan is already unparalleled. Unless I underestimate the enemy and advance rashly, exhausting the military power, otherwise there is no need to worry about losing … The only variable is from there."
Wu Ming looked in the direction of the palace, deep in thought.
…
Just outside the Imperial Palace, in the basement of a private residence.
A hidden chamber was opened up, inside were two Daoists sitting cross-legged, each with a black and purple Talisman flickering on their bodies.
"Borrowing the Venerable Immortal Talisman, in addition to the fact that we brothers normally don't use our magic power, we were barely able to hide in Dingzhou. Is it finally time to use it?"
One of the I men muttered as he took out another incense stick and lit it up.
"Venerable Immortal, Wu Zhi has already defeated the rebellious King Chen Jie. In a few days, he will conquer the South and point his sword at the Northern Plains. What should we do, Venerable Immortal, please tell us!"
There was a small amount of smoke, and it disappeared into the void. It was very strange.
There was a moment of silence. Not long after, a passage formed, and a dragon's roar came from it.
"This is … Emperor's Qi?!"
I was shocked. "I don't know which dynasty's Emperor's Qi it is, but it was actually captured and sealed by the Venerable Immortal's great magical power, and only used now …"
Roar, roar!
As expected, accompanied by the dragon's roar, a black dragon appeared from the passage, baring its fangs and brandishing its claws. Its expression was fierce, and its body was locked by a black and purple Talisman, like a seal.
I waved his sleeve, and it obediently entered his sleeve.
"Senior Brother, the Venerable Immortal bestowed Emperor's Qi, this is …"
Seeing this scene, the young Taoist at the side finally couldn't hold it in any longer and asked.
"What else? Of course, it is to support the little Emperor's rebellion! Dazhou has three hundred years of orthodoxy, there must be some loyal ministers and filial sons … "
The old Taoist smiled. "I've already understood the Immortal Venerable's intention. What we should do now is to encourage Wuzhi to launch a northern expedition, and then take the opportunity to send the Emperor's Qi to the little emperor …"
To be honest, the general trend of the world lay in soldiers, provisions, and victory. A few Dragon's Qi, if not used as capital at the beginning, would not affect the overall situation too much in the later stage.
Not to mention, even if the Venerable Immortal Jue Tian had earth-shattering means, could he seal all the luck of a dynasty?
Therefore, this Emperor's Qi could at most make the little Emperor cheer up a little, and bring a little trouble to Wu Zhi.
But if this situation broke out when Wu Zhi was preparing to cross the river to fight, it would bring more than just a little trouble.
"Is there only one Dragon's Qi of the Venerable Immortal? If there is any left, it will definitely be given to the northern feudal vassals. At that time, under the attack from both inside and outside, Wu Zhi will definitely be defeated. Even if he survives, he will no longer have the chance to unify the world! "
The old Daoist was very accurate.
The same was true for the Battle of Red Cliff of the Three Kingdoms.
After the elite army was wiped out, it was not something that could be replenished in a few years.
Therefore, once the Battle of Red Cliff was defeated, Cao Cao immediately lost the opportunity to become a dragon. Even if his descendants managed to unify the world, the peaches were easily taken by others.
The situation that Wu Zhi was facing now was roughly similar.
…
The Northern Region of Dazhou.
Qianzhou, Wu Imperial Palace.
Ji Quan looked at the gloomy sky and suddenly sighed.
He was a member of the royal clan of Dazhou. Since the chaotic times, he took the opportunity of the confrontation between several military towns in Qianzhou to develop in the cracks. Moreover, by relying on the identity of the royal clan, he had gained the loyalty of many old officials of Dazhou. At this time, he had occupied five counties in Qianzhou and proclaimed himself as Wu King!
Back then, the place where the founding ancestor of Dazhou started was in Qianzhou, and his title was also Wu King!
Ji Quan's ambition was also known to everyone.
In fact, this person was diligent in politics and had his own means. If given time, it was not impossible for him to reproduce the magnificent achievements of the founding ancestor. However, he encountered a terrible opponent.
Early on, before he started, a huge feudal lord had already risen in the south. Until now, he had not yet conquered Qianzhou, but the other party had already unified the south, sat on the nine provinces, and had millions of elite soldiers under his command!
This gap in strength was really despairing!
The battle for the world was like a rolling snowball. One side had already formed the general trend, while the other side was still quietly farming. Naturally, the outcome was obvious.
"It's a pity … If I only had one county, not the royal clan, and didn't have the title of King, maybe I would also surrender …"
After a long time, Ji Quan sighed deeply.
Although Wu Zhi also recruited people to surrender, he was a great feudal lord who almost sat on a province. Even if she didn't mind, the civil and military officials under her must be very vigilant, right? Not to mention that he was a member of the royal clan of Dazhou and had once called himself King.
Ji Quan had no doubt that even if he surrendered, he could only be imprisoned and wait for a few years before dying of a violent disease or falling into the water.
In all fairness, if he was in her shoes, he would definitely do the same!
"The north can surrender, but I can't!"
Ji Quan shook his head. Suddenly, he seemed to hear a dragon's roar.
In a daze, he seemed to see a huge purplish-black dragon appear in the sky, baring its fangs and claws, pouncing towards him.
"Ah!"
Ji Quan screamed. Suddenly, his vision cleared, and he found that the garden was still the same garden. Only a few guards hurried over, "Your Majesty?"
"Nothing!"
Ji Quan waved his hand and dismissed them, but he himself was deep in thought, "Black dragon! Could it be some kind of sign? "
He didn't know if it was an illusion, but after being pounced on by the black dragon, he felt that his eyes and ears were much sharper, and his mind was much more agile. His whole body was full of energy, and there was a heroic feeling of daring to pierce through the sky.
"Your Majesty, great news!"
At this time, a civil official hurriedly asked for an audience. It was his newly appointed prime minister.
"Reporting to Your Majesty!"
The prime minister walked over quickly and bowed meticulously, "He Chuan and Ding Guo Counties surrender. Qianzhou is unified!"
"Oh? That's good news! "
Ji Quan's brows slightly relaxed, "We can squeeze out tens of thousands of troops to defend the south."
"Not only that!"
The prime minister continued to report, "Yun State, Meng State … All the northern feudal vassals have sent envoys, intending to form an alliance to fight against Prince Ding in the south! Who else but Your Majesty can be the leader of the alliance? "
"Me?"
Ji Quan smiled slightly.
Prince Ding was still the prime minister of the imperial court. This time, he was carrying out an imperial edict, and he had a righteous name.
After all, the little emperor was in his hands, what imperial edict could he not have? At this time, the northern feudal vassals were complaining incessantly, hating that no one had seen this in the past.
And now, the only way was to push out a person to fight against the small imperial court in the south.
No matter how one looked at it, as a member of the imperial family, Ji Quan was very suitable.
After all, in terms of bloodline, strength, and even legal heritage, it wasn't that Ji Quan didn't have any hope of inheriting the throne.
"This matter …"
Ji Quan only felt his heart beating violently.
There were ten states in the north, and there was the danger of the Heavenly River. Even if he couldn't cross the river and conquer the south, it was more than enough to defend the foundation. If it was done well, it wasn't impossible to really establish a country and form a confrontation between the northern and southern dynasties.
At that time, he wouldn't be a prince, but an emperor! The supreme ruler of the Nine and Five!
"Sailing against the current, if I don't advance, I will fall back. At this time, do I still have a way out?"
Ji Quan clenched his teeth and sneered, suddenly making up his mind, "Let's do it! Quickly go down and rope in all the feudal vassals. You must elect me as the overall leader of the alliance during the alliance meeting! "
This was also to occupy the title first, then slowly divide and assimilate, eventually there was a possibility of integrating the northern land.
Although this hope was very small, if it succeeded, at least it would be a situation of the Northern and Southern dynasties, and the position of the Nine and Five Supreme was beckoning.
Ji Quan, who had no way out, would not regret this gamble at all!
"Yes!"
The prime minister replied heavily, his face was a little flushed, and he was a little puzzled, feeling that today's King Wu was a little different from usual.
He seemed to have become more wise and decisive, but when he looked closely, he was still the same as before, and he couldn't help but feel a little awestruck, "Previously, Master Qin once said that my king only has the life of a king, any more will shorten his life. But seeing my king today, the Heavenly Court is full, and there is hope for the great cause. No matter how I look at it, it doesn't look like he will die prematurely. Could it be that … he has obtained the mandate of heaven?"
