From the pure blood dragon clan, I started to become a human being

April 1st.

A piece of news spread like wildfire.

Yan Zhenchun, an old general in the Spring and Autumn Period, led an army of 120,000 to attack Wu Yue, but suffered a crushing defeat.

The only surviving general of the Liyang court was killed and his body was trampled into a pulp by horses' hooves.

The Demon Cult is now united with the King of Eastern Wu and is currently raising an army of 130,000 to attack the capital.

The King of Eastern Wu proclaimed himself emperor and named his country Wu.

And in the martial arts world, the contemporary sword champion of the Wu family, who is the leader of the martial arts world, has entered the realm of land sword immortals, and together with the sword servant, who is also a land sword immortal, he goes to the Guanyin Sect of the South China Sea to ask for swords. The reason is that the leader of the Guanyin Sect, Tan Tai Pingjing, secretly stole the destiny of Dongyue and entered the realm of land celestial being, causing the disintegration of the righteous path.

At the same time, King Ji Jiang Yuan personally led 8,000 cavalry south to Xiongzhou to attack the King of Northern Han who opposed the court.

All four battles were won.

In times of national crisis, we need good generals; in times of turmoil, we need loyal ministers.

……

Within Xiongzhou.

The former Third Prince, now the King of Northern Han, ordered his 40,000 infantrymen to form a battle formation. Although he had an absolute advantage, a sense of tragedy and grandeur permeated the entire army.

On the horizon, eight thousand cavalrymen were approaching.

The young prince in a dark blue python robe took the lead.

Arrows rained down from the sky, followed by a torrent of strong energy that rushed up into the sky and completely shattered it.

The cavalry broke into the battle formation, and the long black spear first destroyed a row of shield-armored soldiers, and then a long dragon of the sun pierced through the front and back, and was the first to kill a passage.

Jiang Yuan brandished his spear wantonly. The Semi-Immortal Deer-Cutting Spear was not only a powerful weapon against people from the three religions, but the terrifying weight it contained also made it the best choice for breaking the formation.

There was no need to think. As the gun shadows danced in front of him, his vision was filled with broken bones and mud. His full body armor could not hold out for a moment, and the shield formation also collapsed at the touch of a button.

The commander of the palace guards in Zhixuan Realm risked his life and delivered a sword that represented the pinnacle of his life, successfully killing the horse under the throne of King Ji. Then the next second, he was hit by a spear from above, his head hit into his chest, and his whole body exploded into a bloody mist.

Without the restriction of horses, someone was faster, with nine thunder dragons following him like a shadow, blood splattered on his head and evaporated into red mist. When he killed all the way to the end, the black spear swept across, the nine thunder dragons exploded, and the last thousand-man guard formation was wiped out.

Jiang Yuan lifted up the body of the King of Northern Han with his spear and threw it to the side. With a muffled sound, only the head of the royal noble was left.

The Northern Han army was defeated.

In the distance, 20,000 infantrymen led by Li Huoli surrounded the battlefield and gathered the defeated troops. The commander of Xiongnan Pass had already surrendered.

At noon, a man wearing a lieutenant general's armor rushed to the central army camp with several followers. The veteran general Yan Zhenchun was defeated and 120,000 elite troops were destroyed. Now there are only 70,000 infantry and cavalry from the Western Camp, as well as eight colonels of the Imperial Guard and the Praetorian Guards left in the capital. There is an urgent need for a man with real military merit to lead the army to resist the attack of the Demon Cult Leader and Emperor Wu.

After entering the tent, the lieutenant quickly explained his purpose.

There is nothing wrong with the source of the river.

"My troops will set out immediately, provided that Your Majesty gives us the necessary trust. If some troublesome people come to give us instructions while we are defending the city, I don't want to end up dead in vain. The court should seek for other capable men." "In times of national crisis, a good general is needed. Your Majesty, rest assured. Lord Han is in power now. Before leaving, he signaled to me that as long as you agree to send troops, it would be fine even if you marry the princess." said the lieutenant general.

Jiang Yuan waved his hand. Now in Liyang there were the Queen of Great Chu, the Emperor of Yan of Southern Tang, the puppet of the Demon Cult, the Emperor of Wuyue, and even more kings. The country was in danger, and that young eunuch would die with the country, and he would definitely not be able to maintain his celestial realm.

A land immortal with a broken national oak tree poses no threat at all.

In the evening, Jiang Yuan left Lao Jibei in charge of the final battle in Xiongzhou and led 8,000 cavalry to the capital of Tai'an. Li Huoli accompanied him as his deputy general. He is the eldest son of the Yanbao Li family, a first-class sect, and now has the strength of a second-grade junior grandmaster.

Three days later, the team arrived in a hurry.

Yu Shan, the commander of the West Camp, was the first to show up. He was born in the Yu family, one of the most powerful families in Jiangnan. After the establishment and fall of the Dongyue Kingdom, this general also had ups and downs. Because he was deeply favored by the emperor, he was pardoned. Now he is very loyal to the Liyang court, so he particularly recognizes the young prince who chose to send troops to help in times of crisis.

After entering the city, he came all the way to the Cui residence where he stayed half a month ago. In fact, someone felt that he had been away for only a short time and then came back again, but this time his attendant Pei Nanwei was missing. Because of watering day and night, the other party had entered the Vajra Realm and stayed in the Pei compound to help with military supplies and logistics, and was fully utilized.

The Wu and Yue armies had already passed the end of the Grand Canal and were expected to arrive outside the capital of Tai'an in seven days.

Seventy thousand men from the main camp west of the city had already entered the city. Including the eight detachments of imperial guards and reinforcements, the total number was close to one hundred thousand.

In fact, the new emperor had already issued orders to the two Liaos and Jiangnan to come to the rescue, but unfortunately the King of Jiaodong kept pretending to be dead. He was already very stretched on the eastern front to resist Beimang, and had no time to go south.

Gu Jiantang was unable to recover as Southern Tang and Western Chu attacked the Yuyang defense line with all their might. He was forced to provide a certain degree of support in addition to suppressing the bandits.

From a global perspective, Gu Jiantang abandoned the two Liao states and took control of Jiangnan, which obviously helped him escape the embarrassing situation of being attacked from all sides. Moreover, there were vast fertile fields in Jiangnan, and by the autumn, when the grain was harvested and order was stable, it would be no problem for this great general to raise a truly large army.

At the Cui family mansion, before Jiang Yuan could sit down, a large group of civil and military officials came to the door, led by several old men. The Grand Marshal, who had rarely appeared during the previous emperor's period, showed up today. When the Northern Liang King Xu Xiao led the Old Battalion to leave Liaodong, this man was already the Minister of War. This guy shared all the credit for the pacification of the Nine Kingdoms during the Spring and Autumn Period.

“First of all, all the private soldiers of the wealthy families in the capital should be mobilized. Emperor Wu is of royal blood and is qualified to inherit the throne. I am not sure who is a loyal minister and who plans to defect secretly. By then, we will be trapped both internally and externally. The commander-in-chief also knows that this is a taboo in military strategy.” Jiang Yuan said righteously.

"It makes sense. We just need to leave a few soldiers in each family to prevent thieves." The old man nodded in agreement.

"Secondly, all the heroes in the city who are above the first level must gather together. They have the ability to make a desperate move and destroy a certain line of defense. With 100,000 people guarding the city and less than 30,000 people on one side of the city wall, we cannot afford this risk."

"I'll do my best," the general said. "In recent days, heroes from all over the country have come to defend the city."

"Finally, give me the command of the Praetorian Guards. Three thousand third-rank experts will be of great use at a critical moment."

"This..." The general was a little hesitant. The Praefectus Urbisuite were the emperor's personal army, so it was not convenient for him to make the decision.

"Yes, I agree on behalf of His Majesty."

A eunuch in a dragon robe walked into the yard, with white hair and eyebrows.

Han Shengxuan clasped his fists in greeting.

"I beg the Prince of Ji to protect the safety of the capital. Your Majesty is ill and cannot personally go out of the city to welcome the prince. I hope you can forgive me. Your Majesty promised that when the enemy retreats, the prince will be appointed as the Grand Pillar of the State and the Minister of War, and will be in charge of all border affairs in the north."

"Your Majesty is wise." Jiang Yuan said perfunctorily. It seemed that the new emperor really didn't want to live. He was still fooling around at this time.
