In the military camp at the northern border, a messenger ran in in a panic and said to Pang Yuande, "General, this is bad! The Golden Horde Kingdom's army of more than 100,000 has pushed to the front line. The vanguard can no longer hold them back! "
At that moment, Pang Yuande did not look panicked at all. He said calmly, "What are we going to do if we can't hold them back? Get ourselves killed? "
The messenger was stunned. How could the Great General say something like that?
Pang Yuande snorted coldly and said, "We haven't gotten rid of all the foreign enemies yet, but the imperial court has put all its power into dealing with our own people. What is this?
Now, the northern border defense line is empty, and the Golden Horde Kingdom has come to our door. How are we going to fight them? Are we going to use human lives to fight them?
Pull them back! If they don't care about the Ji family's empire, why should we care about them? "
The military was also very dissatisfied with what the Ji family had done recently.
Not only did they send a bullsh * t army supervisor to reduce his power, but they also took away so much of his power to deal with their own people. What could Pang Yuande do when the Golden Horde Kingdom's army was pointed at him?
If the Golden Horde Kingdom had taken the initiative to provoke them and wanted to invade the Central Plains, Pang Yuande would not have minded fighting them to the death as a soldier.
However, the problem was that this war should not have happened. If the Zhou Kingdom had not transferred all its power to fight among themselves, the northern border defense line would not have become like this.
Therefore, Pang Yuande did not want to send his men to their deaths for such a ridiculous reason.
After all, he had trained the people of the northern army when he was a lieutenant in the Divine Transformation Realm. Even if the Ji family did not care about these people, he did.
Moreover, Lin Zongyue had secretly instructed him to do this. Even Xue Zhenyue had secretly agreed to it. As such, Pang Yuande did not have any psychological burden.
Meanwhile, in Eastern Jin, the Eastern Jin army, which had been peaceful for a long time, began to gather and advance toward the Zhou Kingdom's defense line.
It could be said that Zhao Wumie's reputation in Eastern Jin was even greater than Empress Dowager Li's. With his permission, Eastern Jin could mobilize all its troops to attack the Zhou Kingdom.
General Xiang Chukuang, who was guarding the borders of Eastern Jin, looked at the 100,000 Eastern Jin elites and shook his head.
It was no longer a question of whether he wanted to fight or not. It was a question of whether the Zhou Kingdom could defend the Eastern Jin defense line.
On the matter of Su Xin, Xiang Chukuang and Pang Yuande had the same opinion.
In fact, Xiang Chukuang was one of the oldest in the army of the Zhou Kingdom. He was even older than Lin Zongyue.
In the past, when the Zhou Kingdom was just a small country in the south, Xiang Chukuang was already a sergeant in the army of the Zhou Kingdom.
Later, as the Zhou Kingdom conquered the world, the army obtained more and more resources. Because of this, Xiang Chukuang relied on his good potential to stand out and climb to a high position. Therefore, among all the generals of the Zhou Kingdom, his loyalty to the Zhou Kingdom was the highest.
However, Xiang Chukuang's loyalty was only to the Zhou Kingdom. Perhaps part of it was to Ji Haodian.
After all, it was Ji Haodian who led the rise of the Zhou Kingdom. That was how he became successful.
But now that Ji Haodian was dead, Xiang Chukuang now considered everything from the perspective of the Zhou Kingdom. The Ji Royal Family's actions were actually harming the interests of the Zhou Kingdom.
Xiang Chukuang had seen Su Xin's performance in Eastern Jin.
It could be said that if it wasn't for Su Xin, they definitely wouldn't have been able to defeat the Golden Horde Kingdom so easily.
In the end, they forced Su Xin to rebel and diverted their forces to fight in the civil war, causing the borders of the Zhou Kingdom to be filled with flames of war. Wasn't this harming the interests of the Zhou Kingdom?
As for Su Xin's identity as a Hades, it was not a big deal to Xiang Chukuang.
After Ji Haodian's death, the other members of the Ji Royal Family seemed to have forgotten Ji Haodian's instructions and entrustment.
The Zhou Kingdom was able to rule the world because of its tolerance.
It didn't matter if Su Xin was a member of the Hades. As long as he could bring benefits to the Zhou Kingdom and didn't do anything to harm the Zhou Kingdom, it didn't matter if he was a member of the Hades.
Zhao Wunian used to be a member of the State of Jin's royal family. Even when Zhao Wunian first joined the Zhou Kingdom, a lot of people didn't agree. They thought it was a conspiracy of the State of Jin. It was Ji Haodian who decided to help Zhao Wunian and made him the Master of the Royal Consecration Hall.
What was the result now? Zhao Wunian became the pillar of the Zhou Kingdom. He didn't have any selfishness, let alone betrayal.
Now, if Zhao Wunian was replaced by Su Xin, the treatment would be far worse. The Ji Royal Family even ignored the war at the border and wanted to kill Su Xin immediately. This group of people from the Ji Royal Family were not qualified.
Looking at Zhao Cenjiang, who was flying in the air, Xiang Chukuang didn't forget that he was seriously injured by Zhao Cenjiang last time.
He was not Su Xin, who dared to touch the tiger's whiskers of a Real Martial Realm expert when he was in the Yang God Realm.
Moreover, Eastern Jin was from the Central Plains. If it was the Golden Horde Kingdom, he might subconsciously resist, but since it was the Eastern Jin, Xiang Chukuang didn't even bother to resist.
Therefore, Xiang Chukuang said directly, "Retreat 100 miles and spread out. Rely on the city to delay and resist. Remember, once there are too many casualties, immediately abandon the city and escape. Don't worry about the loss of territory. Preserving strength is the most important thing."
"Yes, Your Excellency!"
Xiang Chukuang's subordinates all responded in unison. Such an easy battle was not stressful for them, but it was a little embarrassing to retreat before the battle.
The Northern Frontier and Eastern Jin were encroached upon one after another. The news had been urgently sent to Ji Wuling and the others.
At this time, it was not only these two places that were preparing to act together. There were also the Seven Gangs!
Nominally, Su Xin was the Alliance Leader of the Seven Underworld Sect Alliance. After his identity as an Underworld member was exposed, the Seven Underworld Sects did not make any unnecessary moves. This proved that he, as the Alliance Leader, at least had some prestige among the Seven Underworld Sects.
The Seven Gangs only came for benefits. As long as Su Xin could bring enough benefits to the Seven Gangs, the Seven Gangs had no reason not to listen to Su Xin.
This time, Su Xin also sent a message to the Seven Gangs, asking the Seven Gangs to attack and seize the resources of the Zhou Kingdom in the Central Plains.
Compared with the Zhou Kingdom, the strength of the Seven Gangs was indeed limited.
However, the only advantage of the Seven Gangs was that they were in the hinterland of the Zhou Kingdom, and now there was the Seven Gangs Alliance. Therefore, once the forces of the Seven Gangs were integrated, they would definitely be a powerful force that no one could ignore.
Su Xin asked the Seven Gangs to attack and seize the resources of the Zhou Kingdom in the Central Plains. This kind of threat was naturally not as threatening as the Golden Horde Kingdom and the Eastern Jin Army, but it was enough to make the Zhou Kingdom anxious.
Originally, the mines, medicine fields, and so on in the Zhou Kingdom would be guarded by people. Who were these people? Naturally, it was the chief military officers of the Zhou Kingdom in the various Paths and the Six Doors Gate that had joined forces to send people to guard them.
Although the combined strength of these two was not too strong, they had the power of the Zhou Kingdom behind them. Other than sects like the White Lotus Sect that had the word "rebellion" pasted on their heads, the other forces would also give face to the Zhou Kingdom. They would not touch any of the mineral resources that belonged to the Zhou Kingdom.
Now, under the orders of Tie Ao and Tie Zhan, the Six Doors Gate began to withdraw their forces and began to defend. A large number of the military forces were also transferred away. Now, although these resources were still guarded, it was as if they existed in name only.
Therefore, if the Seven Gangs launched a sneak attack on the mineral resources and other places that belonged to the Zhou Kingdom, the success rate was almost 100%.
After receiving the news, the Seven Gangs were only worried about one thing, and that was the revenge of the Zhou Kingdom after the incident.
After all, this kind of thing was equivalent to snatching food from the tiger's mouth. Normally, the Zhou Kingdom would be concerned about the forces of the entire Underworld, so they would not make a move on forces at the level of the Seven Gangs. But now, the Seven Gangs were reckless and took the initiative to provoke the Zhou Kingdom. It was normal for the Zhou Kingdom to retaliate after the incident. No one would help the Seven Gangs.
Therefore, the crux of the problem was whether or not Su Xin would win this battle.
If Su Xin lost and the Zhou Kingdom annexed the northwest, then the sects that hit the Zhou Kingdom when it was down would definitely be retaliated against by the Zhou Kingdom.
And if Su Xin won, then although the Zhou Kingdom would not be destroyed, it would definitely be plagued by internal and external troubles. It would not be able to care about retaliating against them and could only suffer a hidden loss.
Therefore, there were only two choices in front of the leaders of the Seven Gangs. They could either believe that Su Xin could win or not win.
In the Seven Heroes Guild, Shen Wuming listened to the information passed to him by the gang members. There was a faint smile on his face.
"This time, Su Xin really played a big game. Tsk tsk, the Golden Horde Kingdom and Eastern Jin are attacking from both sides. I'm afraid the Zhou Kingdom's days are not going to be easy.
Once Su Xin gets through this, he will be able to become independent of the Zhou Kingdom and become a powerful force between the imperial court and the pugilistic world.
Although Su Xin's Northwest Road can't compare to the Zhou Kingdom or the Golden Horde Kingdom, no matter who it is, if they want to touch Su Xin, it won't be as simple as losing a tooth. They will be covered in blood. Among them will be those from the Northwest Road, as well as themselves. "
The other leaders of the Seven Heroes Guild looked at Shen Wuming in surprise. They did not expect Shen Wuming to have such a high evaluation of Su Xin. It should be known that before the Seven Gangs Alliance was formed, Shen Wuming had hated Su Xin to the point of gnashing his teeth. He had been looking for a chance to avenge his daughter.
Yuan Wuliang said, "Leader, if that's the case, then what should we do about the matter that Su Xin mentioned?"
Shen Wuming sneered and said, "Of course we'll do it. In life, we have to take a gamble. In Runan Road, our Seven Heroes Guild has always been suppressed by the Shangguan Clan. Now that the opportunity is in front of us, as long as we can swallow the resources of the Zhou Kingdom, our Seven Heroes Guild's power will definitely skyrocket. If that's the case, why don't we do it?"
