Chapter 1051 Northern Expedition Plan
Chapter 1051 Northern Expedition Plan
Not surprisingly, the Great Xuan Dynasty's Western Expedition to Suppress Buddhism has overtaken the popular term "Rat Tide War" and has become the most talked-about topic among the public today.
At the same time, a silent storm of public opinion was beginning to brew.
However, the Ghost Market, which used to be involved in everything, did not take much action this time. Even in the evening news broadcast that day, it informed the world in an impartial and neutral manner that another war had broken out in this mountain and sea world.
The Daxuan Dynasty, as the initiator of the war, used the Daxuan Weekly to mark thirteen reasons for destroying Buddhism from another perspective.
Zhongxuanzhou, the center of the imperial city.
In a magnificent yet somewhat empty palace, Yu Hengyuan, who was quietly comprehending the spirit of humanity, suddenly opened his eyes. After a slight wave of his right hand, the door burst open, and two figures walked in from outside, one in front and one behind.
Yu Hengyuan's gaze first stayed on the young eunuch standing behind him, and then locked onto Yu Huangtian who was striding towards him.
"Is something wrong?"
"Yes." Yu Huangtian took out a piece of information, exerted force in his hand, and threw it in front of Yu Hengyuan in an instant.
After Yu Hengyuan took it, his brows slightly raised inadvertently. From this seemingly casual move, he had already noticed Yu Huangtian's progress.
The other party made use of the energy-absorbing technique to break through to the perfection of the innate realm.
Then he began to look through the information, and his eyes became brighter and brighter.
"So, several forces in public opinion have joined forces to launch a counterattack against us?"
"That's right." Yu Huangtian took out a gorgeous chair and sat down at the bottom of several steps. He seemed to be looking up at Yu Hengyuan, but in fact he was just looking straight at him.
"Buddha Land, Wuwei Palace, Dao Domain, and some small actions suspected to be from the Northern Barbarians."
"No." Yu Hengyuan frowned slightly.
"What's wrong?"
"One is missing. Where is the ghost market?"
"Ghost Market did not intervene, but..."
Yu Huangtian did not finish his words, because the reason was already stated in this intelligence, and he believed that Yu Hengyuan had also seen this part.
Sure enough, Yu Hengyuan suddenly looked up and said:
"I need to know your arrangements for the previous Rat Tide War, especially the details about my fifth brother!"
"The truth is, I just pushed the situation forward. As for the Fifth Uncle, the key lies in a backup plan of my father, but now that I have gotten rid of the throne, I naturally don't need it. And I don't know much about the details of the Fifth Uncle.
But what is certain is that he will not take the initiative to come to the Imperial City to see you."
Yuhuangtian said lightly.
"There is another point. Your Majesty is focusing on the wrong direction. The Ghost Market proactively informed us that they have the video that may cause us some minor troubles, and they also made a tacit agreement to trade with each other. The person who made this decision could not have been Xia Jinyu, who is currently temporarily managing the Ghost Market."
Although Yu Hengyuan really wanted to ask about the situation of his fifth brother, after sitting in this position, he also understood that whether for public or private considerations, the next choice of Guishi was the key.
Then he said in a deep voice:
"What you call this tacit agreement is that the Ghost Market will not release this video that could overwhelm us in the public opinion battlefield for the time being, and we will maintain our current state in the Rat Tide War, and not use any more tricks to influence the battlefield situation.
But how can you confirm that this decision was not made by Xia Jinyu?"
“Your Majesty has already said that the other party will not reveal it for the time being. Obviously, there will be more important specific transactions later. However, since there are further transactions, why not start now? Instead, let the officials of the Zhennan King’s faction in the court give us some hints.
So there is only one conclusion: the transaction partner cannot meet with us for the time being."
Yuhuangtian's expression became much more solemn.
"The war in that mysterious space is about to end. Even if the Ghost Market is not the biggest winner, it will not be the loser either."
"So who's the loser?"
"It could be us, it could be Buddha Land, it could be the Wutian Demon Sect that caused all this to happen, of course the most likely one is from the outer world. Anyway, I think it's time to meet with the King of Zhennan, and your majesty also needs the three southern states to remain as they are.
Although it’s only in name only, isn’t it?”
Yu Hengyuan was silent for a moment, then nodded and said:
"I'll leave this matter to you. Besides, you can prepare for the second game."
"The second battle?" Yu Huangtian frowned slightly, then said uncertainly, "You mean the second war?"
"Yes." Yu Hengyuan said seriously, "Western expedition, northern expedition, southern expedition and eastern expedition, originally in my expectation, I could have achieved success in all directions, but the Ghost Market gave me a certain tacit agreement, so I can put the southern expedition aside for now."
"Blooming in all directions? Are you crazy?" Yu Huangtian was also shocked by Yu Hengyuan's idea.
Yu Hengyuan continued with an unchanged expression:
"Do you know how many years it has been since the Great Xuan Dynasty had a major battle?"
"Seven hundred years." As the previous Emperor Xuan, Yu Huangtian was naturally very clear about the history of the dynasty.
"Yes, seven hundred years. You should also know that with the rich foundation of the current dynasty, it can fully support four large-scale battles, and there are incentives from the military merit system, as well as continuous recruitment of soldiers from all over Kyushu.
Even if we cannot guarantee victory in a short period of time, we can still drag this four-way battle to the moment of victory.
So, why not fight?
You didn't make this choice before because you didn't care how much territory the Great Xuan Dynasty lost, but I do care!"
"But even if we exclude the southern expedition, the court will not agree to let you declare war on three parties at the same time, including the military."
"Then one expedition to the west and one expedition to the north should be fine."
Yu Huangtian was silent. He found that he had inadvertently been led by Yu Hengyuan into the window theory that the players mentioned.
It doesn't matter whether the other party is really prepared to attack from all sides. After they express this idea, with this preparation, it is not so difficult to accept having another army to carry out the Northern Expedition.
Even at this moment, Jade Emperor Tian knew that this was just a trick used by the other party.
Psychologically, I am not really opposed to fighting a two-front war at the same time.
If even he could be convinced, those civil and military officials in the court who had long been frightened by Yu Hengyuan would probably also compromise.
"I will cooperate with you. Of course, this is also an exchange."
The next day, at the morning court, Yu Hengyuan used the same method to obtain unanimous agreement from the court on the Northern Expedition. This time, he directly dispatched two of the Six Paths Legion, which was scheduled to be dispatched two days later, which happened to be the time for the final battle in the Desire Realm set by Qin Fan.
-
In the barren desert, inside the main tent.
After receiving a tacit response from Yu Hengyuan, the rat tide war has turned into a long-term tug-of-war.
Therefore, Xia Jinyu, who was in charge of the battlefield situation, could also devote some of his attention to other wars that had taken place in Jiuzhou in the past few days.
The first was the proposal for the Northern Expedition, and Guishi was the first to know about it after the morning court meeting.
This means that Hua Lianxing and Xue Wuxia received the news just a moment late.
"You are truly worthy of being called the evil dragon of troubled times."
This is probably the only comment the three could give after digesting this information.
The other side is a complete warmongerer. I feel uncomfortable if I don't fight for a day.
"This way." Xia Jinyu looked at Hua Lianxing.
Hua Lianxing shook her head slightly and said:
"I won't go back for now. Even if the Northern Expedition breaks out, the palace's military strength is not inferior to this Thunder Army. If I stay here, I can be sure to raise the heat of the war of public opinion to a higher level. This is also in line with the assassination plan we are preparing next."
"Do you think he will discuss moving eastward next?" Xue Wuxia asked quietly.
“Probably not. The reason for the Western Expedition was the whereabouts of the eldest princess, and after getting the tacit deal from us, the change of direction also included asking for an explanation from the Prince of Zhennan, who was also missing.
In the next step, the public opinion of Daxuan Weekly will most likely lead to the start of the Rat Tide War.
Because they trapped the master and the masters of the Ghost Market, they took the opportunity to launch the rat tide. It can be speculated that the Buddha Land side may have secretly allied with the Wutan Demon Sect and become the mastermind behind the war.
As for the reason for the Northern Expedition, there is no need to elaborate on the reason for the Northern Expedition: to punish the rebels who split the territory.
The positions of the two major heavens outside the sky also determined that this war was more reasonable than the Western Expedition.
But if we move eastward, we still lack the support of righteousness.
Even someone as crazy as Yu Hengyuan has to put on this skin.
Moreover, the outcome of the war is to achieve victory. According to what he said in the court, he could rely on the dynasty's foundation to directly drag down the four families, but no fool would do so, because there are too many factors to consider in a protracted war.
This also means there are more variables.”
Hua Lianxing's inference made Yu Xue and the others nod their heads repeatedly.
Xue Wuxia also breathed a sigh of relief for this.
Compared to earning points in the wasteland and desert, she truly felt that going to war with the Great Xuan Dynasty was meaningless. From the perspective of the old-fashioned Taoist priest who now sat in the Taoist Palace, even if it was possible to win, the other party would hand over the fruits of victory on behalf of the Jiutian Taoist Palace.
Everything will remain the same from beginning to end.
As for how many people in Dao Domain sacrificed for this victory, he didn't care at all.
"It's almost time. The second reinforcements sent by my Dao Domain will soon arrive."
"Negotiations regarding the Xuanxia Territory."
"It went smoothly. Uncle Zhang should have noticed something. I will communicate with him and get his support."
When saying this, Xue Wuxia was full of confidence.
Now she has passed the most difficult stage of lurking. Even if she plays it openly, there will be countless people on the Taoist Temple side who will stand up to help her cover up the relationship between it and the Ghost Market.
This could be said to be an alternative form of using beauty to commit crimes, especially after she had fused the seed of the Mysterious True Water, her realm leapt to the perfection of the Dharma, and was about to comprehend the second-order realm. With her talent, she was able to begin preparing to compete for the core disciple of the Jiutian Dao Palace.
"Then I'm here."
Before Hua Lianxing finished speaking, her voice transmission token began to vibrate wildly. After she took it out to check the information, her expression changed drastically.
This also made Xia Jinyu and Xue Wuxia full of doubts.
"what happened?"
"Anything unexpected?"
Hua Lianxing put away the token, frowned, then took a deep breath and said:
"Yu Canglan is dead."
-
Wuwei Palace, inside the conference hall.
The representative of the angels from outer space, Bai Zishu, was already sitting in the main seat. He was looking at the people off the field with a headache.
Yu Yuanba, the third adopted son who had been against Yu Canglan, had a look of grief on his face and was angrily accusing the owner of Xuanwu Tower, Jellyfish Yin Ji.
The reason why this matter could be blamed on her was because the people who protected the first adopted son, Yu Canglan, were from Xuanwu Tower, and there were also some warriors who were suspected to be related to Beiman.
If the murderer cannot be found, the blame will naturally be put on the party with poor defense.
After taking a look at Yu Yuanba who was jumping up and down, Jellyfish Yin Ji looked at Yu Canglan's body with a gloomy expression.
The autopsy was of suicide.
One time he was practicing qigong and became possessed. At that time, an external force caused a leaf to fall on his forehead, blocking the outflow of qi from the Yintang acupoint, thus crippling his tendons and meridians. As his practice method was too overbearing, the hot qi in his body triggered a self-immolation that destroyed his body and spirit.
The ending was turning into a pitch-black dried corpse.
It stands to reason that with the strong guard strength of Yu Canglan’s mansion, this abnormal situation should be discovered at the first moment and remedial measures should be taken at the first moment.
But the key point is that on the eve of his becoming possessed, there were two destined bodies outside the mansion who were in conflict due to fate. They happened to meet each other and lost their minds, and started fighting on the spot. Both of them were just entering the celestial realm, which resulted in the master who was guarding Yu Canglan having to deal with this unexpected incident first.
When he came back, he saw Yu Canglan's dried corpse lying there quietly.
If the video footage from the ghost market had not been retrieved, the truth would have been even more difficult to uncover.
But even with the video, few people believed that this was a coincidence.
Therefore, a large-scale search is now underway in Yu Canglan's mansion, such as the factors that led to the obsession, whether it is related to diet, and other possible means of assassination. The two fateful bodies that caused the trouble are also being interrogated.
However, two people have already guessed that this was an accident, or a natural accident caused by human factors.
This seemingly contradictory word is not surprising when applied to a person.
But the thought of that person's existence gave Bai Zishu an even greater headache.
Yue Taigong, the leader of the Eight Wolf Generals who vaguely sensed the truth, also had a gloomy look on his face.
As a military representative, he knew Leng Hanyi's special status, and he was also more aware that that person was not someone that anyone could ask to take action on. There was no need for the other party to control the little Yu Canglan, so there was only one person who was the real culprit behind Yu Canglan's death.
This method of his made Yue Taigong very disgusted.
It is true that he is loyal to Yu Wushi and the Wuwei Palace, but in his position he is also responsible for countless lives in the military. However, it is really hard for him to accept the insidious means used by this young master, whom he had originally had high hopes for.
Obviously, they all have my secret support. Logically speaking, this may not be a perfect start, but with a little effort, a local win will definitely make up for it. But the result is that even in the time it takes to draw a card, the opponent seems so petty.
This really disappointed him.
Moreover, according to Yu Wushi's previous instructions, the five adopted sons will all be his powerful assistants. Yu Canglan, who is good at internal affairs, can even be called a talent of assisting the king. This is especially important for the Wuwei Palace where the military completely suppresses the civil service system.
As a result, there is no need for any help now, and all that is left is a mummy that is unrecognizable.
