The Emperor's Beginning Summons Wu Zhangkong

Chapter 3

"What is the strength of the 36 villages in Tianlang Mountain, how many bandits are there, and how are they distributed?"

"Your Majesty, the number of bandits in the 36 villages of Tianlang Mountain exceeds ten thousand. Although they are a ragtag group of people, most of them are warriors and quite brave. Moreover, the 36 villages are all built in areas that are easy to defend and difficult to attack, and the mountains are rugged. There are many hiding places and it is extremely difficult to eliminate them.”

Xia Xuan nodded, stood up and walked to the map of Daxia next to him. This map of Daxia was nine feet long and nine feet wide. It was revised every ten years. It included all the cities, mountains, rivers, lakes and seas of Daxia, as well as all the major martial arts forces. on top of this picture.Ever since Emperor Taizu conquered the world, it has been hanging in the Huangji Palace. Every emperor of Great Xia, including Xia Xuan, likes to look at this map in his spare time and overlook the vast country of Great Xia!
Xia Xuan carefully observed the situation around Tianlang Mountain. Tianlang Mountain is located in the middle of Liangzhou and is extremely vast. There are many trade routes connecting the north and south of Liangzhou. No wonder it can support tens of thousands of bandits.

"Passenger's decree: The two border gatekeepers will mobilize [-] soldiers to guard the northern key points of Tianlang Mountain. The captain of Changning County will lead [-] county soldiers, and the [-] county soldiers from the eight counties under his rule will guard the western key points of Tianlang Mountain. Dao, the Tai'an County captain led [-] county soldiers and [-] county soldiers from the nine counties under his control to guard the eastern main road of Tianlang Mountain. The Liangzhou garrison general led [-] Liangzhou troops to guard the southern main road of Tianlang Mountain and blockade it. Tianlang Mountain, before the imperial army arrives, we cannot let a bandit go!"

"Yes"

Bai Feng took a breath. Tianlang Mountain was finished. It was completely finished. There was no hope of survival. Judging from His Majesty's attitude, he planned to comb the entire Tianlang Mountain. No, it was just to attack Tianlang Mountain. So many people would not be needed. , listening to His Majesty’s tone, he still wants to send troops from the center. His Majesty definitely wants to fight not just one Tianlang Mountain, but which one else?There is no force in the entire Liangzhou that is worthy of the imperial court dispatching so many troops. Is it possible that His Majesty plans to destroy the martial arts community in Liangzhou?
Just when Bai Feng was thinking wildly, Shunxi presented four imperial edicts drafted by the Hanlin accompanying him. Xia Xuan stamped them with the jade seal and sent them to Liangzhou by the imperial army!

Xia Xuan put the jade seal back into its original position and said: "Xuan Jin Daohou"

"Yes"

After a while, a veteran general wearing black armor walked up to the hall at a fast pace and saluted: "Old minister, I see you, Your Majesty."

"Old generals are exempted from gifts"

"Thank you Your Majesty"

"Is the old general still able to fight now?"

"Your Majesty, although I am old, I can still lift a steel sword and ride a strong horse. I am willing to charge into battle for Your Majesty. Your Majesty, tell me directly, who do you want me to kill?"

"it is good!"

"Declaration: General Shenwu and Jin Daohou Dong Haichuan are ordered to lead the troops and horses of our headquarters to Tianlang Mountain in Liangzhou, command all the troops and horses in Tianlang Mountain, and conquer Tianlang Mountain!"

"Veteran leads the decree"

"Old General, the [-] soldiers and horses of the Sixth Shenwu Guards you command are all infantry. They are the most adept at mountain warfare among the Sixteenth Shenwu Guards. I leave this matter to you, I can rest assured."

"Thank you for your trust, Your Majesty. I will definitely defeat the bandits in Tianlang Mountain! I will unscrew the thieves' heads and use them as a night pot for you!"

"Okay, I will give you another secret decree. After the Tianlang Mountain is leveled, all the Jianghu forces that hinder the imperial court will be eradicated. Of course, the small forces below the third rate will be left alone."

"Yes"

"Bai Feng, you sent out a team of spies to go with the army to investigate the forces in Liangzhou's rivers and lakes. If there are any crimes committed, the forces that harm one party will directly tell the old general. If the sect is powerful and touches the interests of the court, if the circumstances are serious, directly tell the old general. Those who commit minor crimes will be given a warning and ordered to make corrections. Anyone who refuses to comply will be killed!"

"Yes"

Just when Xia Xuan was preparing to lay out the world, the news of the emperor's pro-government had spread throughout the world to a certain extent. The people at the bottom of Shengdou were still living their small lives. The news of the emperor's pro-government could not reach their ears at all, but officials from various places, The powerful Jianghu forces have long known about the emperor's personal administration.

In a small county town a hundred miles away from Kyoto, an old man sat cross-legged on the bed, with a mighty red energy surging all over his body. A powerful and domineering aura filled the whole room, but this aura was completely controlled by the old man in the room. Nothing was leaked to the outside world.

Suddenly, a burst of golden light erupted from the old man's chest, and a golden palm print appeared. It was incompatible with the red essence all over the old man's body. An aura that was several times more domineering than the old man's original aura erupted. The old man's aura suddenly became chaotic, and a mouthful of blood spurted out. , the powerful momentum lost control, and ferocious cracks crawled up the house.

Outside the house, a woman in black robe was sitting on a stone table in the yard drinking tea, wearing half a black mask on her face. Suddenly, the woman seemed to feel something. She waved her hand, and a gray ball floated above the house where the old man was. Pointing out, a thin layer of gray mist gushes out from the gray bead, and in the blink of an eye it turns into a giant upside-down bowl, covering the old man's house inside.

The next moment, the old man's house exploded to pieces, a violent aura erupted, and the gray fog rippled like a lake, but the gray fog also covered up all the momentum without leaking a trace!
The two colors of golden and red light inside complement each other, and the endless red light rushes towards the golden palm print. Although the quality of the golden true essence is far stronger than the old man's own true essence, the quantity is very small, and the old man cannot consume it in time. It quickly became dim and dull, and was finally wrapped in layers of red true energy and sank into the old man's body.

Seeing this, the woman breathed a sigh of relief and withdrew the gray ball. The old man slowly withdrew his power, his face as pale as white paper.

The woman pondered for a long time and said: "The emperor has taken charge of the government today."

Hearing this, a horrifying murderous intention flashed through the old man's eyes, and the surrounding temperature dropped several degrees instantly, "The time has finally come, Xia Jinghong, you kill my whole family, I am not strong enough to kill your whole family, and the blood feud on my body is just a matter of time." It will be paid with the lives of both your father and son!"

Xia Jinghong was Xia Xuan's father. The previous generation of Emperor Xia was assassinated during his southern tour eight years ago. Unexpectedly, it was the old man in front of him who did it!
The old man's name is Nie Chengshan, the master of Duanhun Mountain and the great elder of Huangquan Pavilion.The woman in front of me is the master of Huangquan Pavilion of this generation. Duanhunshan, one of the five major forces in the Daxia world, is actually the outer force of Huangquan Pavilion. The real high-level leaders of Duanhunshan are all from Huangquan Pavilion. The court is concerned about this. Also clueless.The total number of people in Huangquan Pavilion is only about ten, and they always carry the name of Duanhun Mountain when they go out. No one thought that there is another Huangquan Pavilion behind Duanhun Mountain!

Nie Chengshan looked at the woman and said: "When I killed Xia Jinghong eight years ago, I touched the backhand left by Xia Jinghong and was seriously injured with a palm. In the past eight years, I have been healing my wounds every day, but I have not been able to do anything at all. It's not getting better, but it's getting worse. Even if you don't do anything, you can live on for more than ten years at most. It's better to drag Xia Xuan's child to be buried with him while you can still exert your full strength after fighting for your life. This can be regarded as understanding that period. Blood feud!"

The woman was silent. Eight years ago, after Nie Chengshan learned that one of his more than 30 concubines was pregnant, when he entrusted her blood to him, he said: "Even if I risk my life, I still have to hold on to her." Xia Jinghong was buried with him, so he understood the bloody feud! 'Unexpectedly, he was blessed with great fortune, and with the Xuan-level low-grade amulet given to him by his father, he actually survived after triggering the martial arts will left by the ancestor of the Xia family in Xia Jinghong.Unexpectedly, after he suppressed his injuries, he came up with the idea of ​​killing the new emperor.

On weekdays, the emperor lives in the palace, and the Great Xia Ancestor is in charge. Naturally, Nie Chengshan does not dare to go to the palace to die. He might as well dig a hole and bury himself. Being slapped into a pulp by Old Ghost Xia is not a person. What a way to die!

At that time, it was just a piece of martial arts will left by Old Ghost Xia. Without the low-level amulet of Zhang Xuan, Nie Chengshan would definitely die if he faced him, let alone facing Old Ghost Xia directly!
"You don't have any hope of success if you go now. The Zhang Xuan-level amulet was given to you by my father in gratitude for your many years of service in Duanhun Mountain and the kindness of the late Elder Duan. I, Huangquan Pavilion, have nothing to do with the world and pursue the immortal way all my life. Changsheng will never be an enemy of Daxia. Xia Xuan must have the martial arts will left by the ancestor of the Xia family, you can't kill him."

The woman also silently added in her heart that even if Huangquan Pavilion tried its best, it would still not be Daxia's opponent. The Grand Master of Baodan Realm is equivalent to the Jindan Realm Master among Qi Practitioners. There are only a few Jindan Realm Masters in the entire Southern Wilderness. The Southern Wilderness is the world of martial arts, and the fairy islands in the East China Sea are the paradise for Qi practitioners.

"Xia Xuan also chose the time, just in time for the White Lotus Sect's rebellion. I reached a cooperation with the White Lotus Holy Envoy. I went to kill the emperor to attract their attention. They helped me get the Blood Martial Puppet. With the Blood Martial Puppet, I am at least [-]% sure that I will drag Xia Xuan to death with me!"

When the woman heard about the blood puppet, she couldn't help but frown. The blood puppet is an evil method. To refine the blood puppet, you need to kill at least a thousand warriors. The only one in Daxia that can refine the blood puppet is the evil cult Xue Ming Sect.Qi training can be divided into immortals and demons, and martial arts training can also be divided into good and evil. Although Huangquan Pavilion sounds a bit evil, it is indeed a serious Immortal Sect and cannot deal with the Xue Ming Sect, which kills people and refines evil objects.But considering Nie Chengshan's current situation, it's hard to say much.

"Recently, the days for large-scale sacrifices are only the ninth day of this month and the eleventh day of next month. The first place Xia Xuan goes to must be the Ancestral Temple. That will allow you to live for more than one month. The eleventh day of next month is the day when Xia Xuan's son will die! "

Nie Chengshan's opportunity to kill Xia Xuan was when Xia Xuan went to pay homage to Zhongyi Mountain and the Martyrs' Shrine outside the imperial city. Emperors who ascended the throne and young emperors had to pay homage to the Imperial Ancestral Temple and the Martyrs' Shrine. This was the only way Nie Chengshan could think of to kill Xia Xuan. Chance.

At this time, Xia Xuan didn't know that someone was already targeting him and was still paying attention to the suppression of bandits.

Jin Daohou walked out of the palace and couldn't help but smile on his face, "Hey, there's another battle!"

Astride the war horse, grab the horse's belly, and go straight to the military camp outside the city!

As Xia Xuan's decree was issued, the court began to operate rapidly, and countless grains, grass, and ordnance were transported to the military camp outside the city. In just three days, all the grain, grass, and ordnance were ready, and the [-] civilians recruited were quickly in place.

The Marquis of the Golden Sword took out the enshrined golden sword from the ancestral temple, looked at the six sons below who were about to go out with the army, and said in a deep voice: "I am already ninety-six this year, and I don't have many more years to live, but you six Those with the highest cultivation level are only at the Qi and Blood Realm, not even the Golden Body Realm. You won’t be able to defend this huge Golden Sword Marquis Mansion after I leave!”

"But nothing is absolute. Our Wuxun family will always rely on our illustrious military exploits. Your grandfather's title is only the second-class Golden Sword Master. What I inherited is only the third-class Golden Sword Master. Now the third-class Golden Sword Marquis is I knocked it down with one blow and one shot! I am getting old and can no longer carry this golden sword. Whoever has the most military merits will carry this golden sword in the future. This time we went to suppress bandits, and those little thieves had obvious military merits. The fat in front of you depends on which of you eats more! Let’s go!”

"Yes"

"dong dong dong dong dong"

The enthusiastic war drums spread throughout the capital. After the three drums were completed, 5 troops and [-] civilians, a total of [-] people, left the capital in a mighty manner and headed for Liangzhou, heading towards that soft persimmon!

Along the way, flags were fluttering, soldiers stood in large numbers, and tens of thousands of warriors gathered together. The mighty energy and blood gathered together to form energy and blood. Wolf smoke rose into the air, and boundless evil energy surged into the sky. All beasts retreated wherever they passed, and everyone they saw was overwhelmed by the military power. Photographed, everyone was amazed, the endless torrent of black armor surged towards Liangzhou!

This expedition was a must-win situation. Xia Xuan mobilized nearly [-] troops, and the [-] Shenwu Guards were the backbone of the guarding force in the capital. They were the most elite soldiers and horses in the world, and their eliteness was comparable to that of the nine-sided army that has been fighting all year round. After all, Every year, four soldiers of the Shenwu Army go to the border to change defenses to maintain combat effectiveness. Every soldier is a warrior in the third realm of bone training the day after tomorrow.

But their opponents are a bunch of rabble. If Tianlang Mountain is not too vast and the terrain is too complicated, plus Xia Xuan has just taken office and wants to rectify the world, if they want to show their strength and show off their muscles in advance, there is no need at all. Send so many troops!
As far away as Tianlang Mountain in Liangzhou, the owners of Tianlang 36 Village gathered in the First Village, but the Juyi Hall was filled with depression. Tens of thousands of people in Tianlang Mountain had to eat and drink, and going out to plunder was naturally a common occurrence. Something happened, but none of the brothers who went out today came back, and the two or three waves of brothers sent out also disappeared. It was not until each village sent out Yunzang realm masters and even innate masters that they knew that officers and soldiers were coming down the mountain.

A burst of hurried footsteps came, and Wu Wenyi, the second leader of the first village, came in. Village 36 in Tianlang Mountain was not a force, but more like an alliance. Village 36 was 36 forces, and there were people in each village. Among the heads of their respective houses, the first village is the strongest, with thirteen heads. The head of the house is the dragon and tiger realm master, Long Tao, the number one master of the 36th village. In addition, there are three gold body realm masters, and nine Qi masters. Blood realm master.

The rest of the villages have different strengths. The stronger ones have one or two Golden Body Realm warriors, and the weaker ones only have Qi and Blood Realm warriors. However, the weakest village also has three Qi and Blood Realm warriors. After all, the village has just been established, so its strength is weak. It cannot become one of the 36 villages.

Wu Wenyi, who hurried in with a face full of despair, said: "Master, the entire Tianlang Mountain is surrounded by officers and soldiers. The court is serious this time! In addition to the Liangzhou Army, there are also various prefecture armies, and even even The border troops are here, at least a hundred thousand troops!"

As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere in the hall became a little heavier. Everyone seemed to have a huge stone weighing on their hearts, even Long Tao!

One hundred thousand troops!

That's a hundred thousand troops!

In previous years, when there was no Village 36, the Liangzhou Army of 2 people could defeat everyone in Tianlang Mountain and run away with their heads in their arms!

Now, although I have integrated all the bandits in Tianlang Mountain, the total number of 36 villages is just over 4 people. Although 90.00% of them are warriors, most of them are acquired in the first level of meat training and muscle training. There are less than ten thousand people, and they are still a ragtag group.

On the other hand, among the officers and soldiers of the imperial court, the weakest soldiers are all muscle-training realm warriors, and the border troops started out as bone-training realm warriors, so there is no comparison!
Long Tao took a deep breath and said: "There are only two ways in front of us now. One is to deal with the officers and soldiers as usual, find a place to hide in Tianlang Mountain and wait for the officers and soldiers to retreat. Tianlang Mountain is so big. There are always places where the officers and soldiers cannot be found. However, this time the officers and soldiers are so powerful that they are ready to bulldoze Tianlang Mountain, so I am afraid they will not be able to get away with it so easily."

"The second is to take advantage of the fact that the officers and soldiers have not launched an attack yet, gather all the soldiers and horses, find weak points and rush out. However, after going out, you will have to face the endless pursuit of Daxia. Only by leaving the large troops and leaving alone can you have any chance. Hope of survival.”

"It looks like Tianlang Mountain is going to disappear now. You all can go escape for your lives. It's up to you how you choose!"
