My clone is on the other side of the starry sky

Chapter 341 The killing begins

The Ming Dynasty's capture of Dakang ended the separation of the seven kingdoms in the world, which seemed to be a signal of the beginning. Two years after the Ming Dynasty captured Dakang, other countries began to move.

First, the Han Dynasty began to use troops against the Yue Kingdom and the New Dynasty, and Daguang was also quickly completing internal integration. According to the information from Shenfeng Hall, the Buddhist forces should have reached some kind of deal with Daguang. Daguang’s new The emperor actually successfully mastered the mountain and river seals. This was the third emperor to truly master the mountain and river seals after Lu Xuan and Lu Bu.

Lu Xuan didn't know exactly what happened, but the internal cause might not be that simple.

Han Dynasty, Wudu.

"You are saying that the Taoist League wants the position of the state religion?" Lu Bu looked at the Taoists in front of him: "Okay, but I also want to be the leader of the Taoist League!"

"Your Majesty, please stop joking." The old Taoist leader sighed, what's going on in this world? Since when did the Taoist League become so humble in front of the emperor of the dynasty?

"You guys were joking with me first." Lu Bu said: "You have not done any merit for me, a big man, and you want to be the state religion? What? You haven't forgotten your past glory?"

"The Taoist Alliance is willing to help your majesty secure the land to rejuvenate the dynasty and conquer the country." The old Taoist said in a deep voice.

"The Yue State is a small country, and now only more than thirty cities on the border are still under control. The Xing Dynasty has now been divided, and 30% of the territory has been occupied by our Dynasty. Within ten years, the Han Dynasty will completely annex the Xing Dynasty. The era of the Dao Alliance It has passed. If you still want the condescending attitude of the past, then please go back. The Han Dynasty is a country of etiquette and will not make things difficult for you." After Lu Bu finished speaking, he stood up and prepared to return to the palace.

The faces of all the Taoist alliances were slightly ugly. In the past, the heads of these dynasties begged them to join the Qintian Prison in order to gain the rightful name. However, I don’t know since when, the Taoist alliance lost its sense of sanctity among the people, and the people also They no longer believe in the Taoist League, and the attitudes of the courts of various countries towards the Taoist League have also changed from respecting the Taoist League in the past to being wary and vigilant now.

This Lu Bu obviously wants to imitate the Ming Dynasty in integrating politics and religion. This is not as simple as a name. If he really agrees to him, the fate of the Dao Alliance will also be controlled by Lu Bu, and their fate and even life and death will also be controlled by Lu Bu. At the mercy of others, this is not Kyushu. They have long been accustomed to a transcendent status. The Taoist League overlooking the world cannot accept that a human emperor has the right to speak of the Taoist League.

"Flying boat? Magic weapon repeating crossbow?" Lu Bu looked at the general who escaped from defeat with some strangeness. He didn't expect that the first one to use advanced equipment would be the other party?

"Exactly, Your Majesty, hundreds of flying boats suddenly appeared in the bandit army and harassed our army's food route. They even used the magical weapon repeating crossbows on the frontal battlefield. Our front army was defeated." The general in charge of supervising the battle said bitterly.

Everyone in the Dao Alliance didn't say much, just said goodbye and left.

"Yes!" All the elders were shocked and did not dare to say any more. They all bowed and left.

Lu Xuan was very concerned about the fact that Yipin had never taken action. This time, he wanted to see if those Dao Sects would take action?

"How can they easily bow their heads without a fight? This is a battle of fate. From the beginning, this battle must be fought. Now... the time is just right!" Lu Bu stood up and said.

"Yes!"

The development of the Han Dynasty was not as exaggerated as that of the Ming Dynasty. The method of superior breeding has been popularized in recent years, and the population has increased a lot. However, in terms of armaments, the improvement is not great. The wars with Yue and Xing Dynasty are not clear. It went smoothly that way, but overall I still have the upper hand.

One month later, a big battle broke out between the Han Dynasty and Xing Dynasty in Xing Dynasty. What was surprising was that the Han Dynasty, which had always been invincible before, was defeated by Xing Dynasty this time. It took thirteen cities in a row to stop the decline.

"Dao Zun, this... has no precedent!" Several elders frowned. It sounded like religious authority was higher than the monarch's authority, but it was very dangerous to put the power of immortality in the hands of the king.

"Now we can have it." Daozhen glanced at several elders calmly.

"Get ready to send troops, I also want to see what this alliance can do!"

"I know." Lu Bu nodded: "It seems that the Taoist Alliance wants to give me a blow, but I only have this flying boat, I'm afraid it's not enough. Send my military order to abandon the three cities in front and lead the enemy into the mountain forest terrain. , the left and right armies are waiting for an opportunity to outflank."

"Why does Your Majesty need to offend the Taoist Alliance like this? If they help the two countries, the war between Xing Dynasty and Yue Kingdom will probably cause more trouble!" Chen Chongzhi felt that Lu Bu's move was a bit reckless. Even if cooperation cannot be reached, there is no need. What you say is so absolute.

In Xinguo, Daqingshan, the headmaster of Qinglian Taoist Sect bowed to Daozhen and said: "Master, this is what happened."

……

A flash of displeasure flashed in Daozhen's eyes when he heard this. He didn't expect that the trap he had set up for four thousand years had finally been broken. After thinking for a long time, Daozhen said: "In that case, then I will do my best to assist Xingchao. In addition, starting from today, The emperor of the new dynasty can control the seals of mountains and rivers, but the right to become a god must be discussed with the Taoist Alliance."

"Your Majesty, is this the Taoist Alliance openly declaring war on our country?" The minister present frowned: "When the Taoist Alliance enters the scene, our army may not be an opponent."

"Your Majesty, you should be glad that they are taking action now. The Dao Alliance is like a sword hanging over my head. If they don't take action, it means that they have other ways to restrain our army. I and you, your Majesty, will have to worry all the time. What will happen to them now?" , which shows that they can no longer use other means to restrict our army, which is a good thing."

Lu Bu looked at the Han ministers and smiled and said: "I know that in your hearts, you have always been afraid of the Taoist League. The Taoist League is indeed powerful, but please remember that weakness will never bring sympathy, but intensification. If you want to prove immortality, you can only fight. You can read the history books. From ancient times to the present, are there any kings and ministers who have gained immortality by submitting to the Taoist alliance?" The ministers were silent after hearing this. There is indeed no such precedent, and the fear in their hearts is also Gradually it was replaced by the ambition of immortality, and he no longer rejected Lu Bu's orders.

Although the enemy obtained excellent weapons and equipment, they were not in large numbers and could only gain advantages on local battlefields. Lu Xuan did not transfer weapons from the Ming Dynasty to Lu Bu to prevent his flaws from being discovered. Instead, he strategically used tactics to lure the enemy deeper. , separated the enemy's elite main force from the ordinary army, the left and right armies took the opportunity to block the enemy's retreat, surrounded the enemy's elite forces under Lu Xuan's siege, and a special force composed of seventh-level transformation realm masters specifically targeted this elite force, leading Watch them play the strategy of exhausting the enemy in the mountains and forests.

The enemy general tried several times to use the flying boat to forcefully break through the blockade of the Han army and join up with the elite. However, even if the ordinary army had the high altitude advantage of the flying boat, it was difficult to break through the blockade of the Han army.

But the existence of the flying boat can directly cross the defense line and bring back the elite troops.

What Lu Bu was waiting for was the opponent's move.

In the mountains and forests to the east of Xingchao, Xingchao's elite soldiers and horses used their weapons to block several attacks from the opponent, but their own arrows had been exhausted. When they were in despair, they saw their own flying boat flying through the sky, apparently to pick them up. Come.

"General, we are saved!" When several soldiers saw the flying boat troops approaching, there were expressions of surprise on their faces.

The general showed a complicated look on his face, gritted his teeth and said: "Let them not get close, just swim around!"

"General, why is this!?" The soldiers were puzzled, but the next moment, they understood.

But seeing dozens of sixth-grade masters soaring into the air and jumping directly onto the flying boat, and many seventh-grade masters appearing around them, it was obvious that this was a trap aimed at the Daxing flying boat army, and the bait was these Daxing elites.

The opponent's plan was to bring in the elite not only to annihilate their elite, but also to wipe out Daxing's air force in one fell swoop!

He had previously wondered why the opponent's fifth- and sixth-grade masters had not taken action in this situation, but now he understood that they were just bait, and the opponent's appetite was greater than he had imagined.

He wanted to step forward to help, but the Han army had already attacked them again. This time, it was obviously much more ferocious than before.

There is no suspense about the outcome of the war. A batch of flying boats and magic weapons were successfully captured. However, bad news came from the front line and the first line of defense was broken.

"A large number of Taoist priests appeared to help, and various spells were impossible to guard against. Even the soldiers who died in the battle came back to life to attack the Han army." The general who was responsible for delivering the battle report still had a look of shock and anger on his face. Lien Zhan and Lianjie haven't suffered such a big loss for a long time.

Chen Chongzhi looked at Lu Bu with some worry. The Feng Shui formation that His Majesty asked him to prepare before was probably designed for the Taoist Alliance, but... it may not be useful.

"To appease the soldiers of the three armies, since the people of the Taoist Alliance have begun to directly participate in the war, it will be difficult for our army to defeat the enemy for a while. We must first withdraw fifty miles and then regroup!" Lu Bu thought for a moment and said.

"Yes!"

The general agreed and turned to leave.

"Sir, let me see the power of this secret technique of Feng Shui." Lu Xuan turned to look at Chen Chongzhi and said with a smile.

"Your Majesty, this Feng Shui formation relies on Feng Shui, that is, it relies on the terrain to draw out the power of the earth's veins. Since my cultivation is shallow, this formation may be useless to Taoist priests above the fifth level." Chen Chongzhi said with some worry.

"Enough!" Lu Bu nodded slightly: "But I want to know more who is the one who breaks our front line? This time I lured the enemy's elite into the pot, but the other party was targeting the real main force. If Daxing had such ability before , I will not be beaten by my big man and lose the city and land. I want to know who this person is?"

This game actually only happened in just one month. Lu Bu wanted to capture the opponent's flying boat troops and elite troops, but the opponent wanted to break through his own defense line. Both sides' goals were achieved, but in terms of losses, , Lu Xuan's side suffered more. After all, the defeat on the front line did not include the visible things such as losing the city and dying in battle. More importantly, Daxing blocked the originally overwhelming momentum of the Han Dynasty.

It's just that Lu Xuan is currently unsure whether the person commanding this battle is a newly discovered talent from Daxing, or is there someone in the Tao Alliance who has mastered the art of war?

"Don't worry, your majesty, the spies have been notified to investigate." The minister in charge of the matter said with a smile.

"Yes, let's go and prepare. This battle has just begun!" Lu Bu stood up, looked at the ministers and said, "Let's encourage each other!"
