The immortal who travels the world

Chapter 778

"Take heaven and earth as a chessboard."

The more Lu Yan said, the bigger the smile on his face.

The three heavenly sages above the clouds seemed to have not heard, just looking down at the scene below, and had no intention of doing anything.

Lu Yan twisted his neck naturally, turned around and walked in the direction of Chaoge.

He already understood that as long as he was still the Grand Master of Yin Shang, these saints would not be able to attack him recklessly.

That's why they made such a big circle, first to overthrow the rule of the Shang Dynasty, and then to attack him.

In fact, according to his original temperament, he doesn't mind fighting these saints, and he doesn't care if he will change the dynasty or not.

If you want to fight, just fight.

But for some reason, Lu Yan doesn't like this kind of game where the world is the chessboard and all living beings are the pieces.

There is a deliberate design to force him to submit.

He can indeed take a direct shot against these saints.

But since the saints did such a thing, Lu Yan just didn't want them to be happy.

Even if these sages of the heavenly way turned all the princes of the eight hundred towns in the world against each other, so what?

"Then play this game."

The moment he turned around, the smile on Lu Yan's face faded, revealing a plain and indifferent look.

Clouds and mist also rolled up in the sky, covering the figures of the three saints.

The two sides who were fighting fiercely on the battlefield did not continue to fight after encountering such an episode, but retreated tacitly.

……

Longde Palace.

At this time, due to the raging wars all over the world, more than half of the civil and military officials who originally stood around the hall were lost.

However, there are many more officials who hold the book and go to the palace than before.

Since Yin Jiao succeeded to the throne, he has been watching the playbook every day, and has almost no time to do other things.

Seeing that Yin Jiao had just put down a memorial, the second prime minister stepped forward again and fell down to play.

"Qizou Your Majesty, Lu Bohou, Jin Bohou and other six major town princes have raised their flags against the merchants yesterday, and all 37 countries including Yue, Jiang and Xu have responded. Your Majesty please make a decision."

The eighth doctor also stepped forward with his hands in his arms: "Your Majesty..."

Listening to the bad news from officials at all levels below, Yin Jiao pressed his temple with a headache.

He is just a young man at the age of a weak crown. Not long after he took office, he encountered this kind of chaos in the world, and he didn't know how to deal with it.

Moreover, every day there is news that the vassal states openly raise their flags against them. Judging from this, it is not far from the complete rebellion of all the vassals in the world.

Speaking of it, this is also the drawback of the enfeoffment system. There is basically no control over those vassal states, and the rule is maintained by relying on the tyrannical national power of the central government.

Once the central government is weak, the vassal states can assume that the central government does not exist.

Fortunately, although Yin Shang is now on the decline, its own national strength is still the best in the world, and these chaos can still be suppressed in a short time.

After all, so far, among the four princes with millions of armour, only Dong Bohou has blatantly rebelled, and it is not impossible to suppress some blood.

However, if this development continues, it is probably only a matter of time before Bohou of the other three towns jumps back.

Just when Yin Jiao had a headache.

The Meridian Gate official said: "Your Majesty, Taishi Lu has returned to Chaoge, please make a decision."

Yin Jiao's eyes lit up.

"Xuan!"

Accompanied by the two brothers of the Fang family, Lu Yan entered the Meridian Gate, crossed the Nine Dragon Bridge, and entered the Longde Hall along the main road.

All the officials on both sides of the hall were discussing, and many of them looked at Lu Yan curiously.

Speaking of these officials, few of them have really seen him with their own eyes.

After entering the main hall, before Lu Yan could speak, Yin Jiao spoke first.

"The Grand Master must already know the current situation, right?"

Lu Yan nodded.

"Please grand master teach me!"

Yin Jiao turned from worry to joy, and in a hurry, he walked directly from the imperial case.

It seems that he has been worrying for too long about what happened in the recent period.

"You have to be more steady."

Lu Yan wanted to pat Yin Jiao's head out of habit, but he gave up forcefully when he thought that the other party was now the emperor.

Yin Jiao pulled Lu Yan's wrist: "Follow the power urgently, grand master, and all the emperors, follow me to the study to discuss in detail."

Bigan and the others had no objection, they patted the wrinkles on their bodies and were about to leave with Lu Yan and the others.

But at this moment, a herald ran into the hall with an anxious expression on his face.

Out of breath, he shouted: "Urgent military situation! The 20 coalition forces from Xu, Yue and other vassal states have arrived in the north of Chaoge, less than [-] miles away from Chaoge City!"

"what?!"

"What a traitor!!"

"The troops stationed along the way...be cut!"

As soon as the news came out, all the officials in the hall exclaimed.

Bigan collected himself, and said in a clear voice: "We will discuss the matter of accountability later, at this moment, you should think of ways to calm the thief."

Let a full 20 rebels kill so close to Chaoge City, those generals who garrison along the way really deserve to be killed.

But the question now is how to deal with the 20 bandits.

To know.

The former Grand Master Wen Zhong took 20 elite soldiers to Beihai to fight the rebel 72 princes, and they have not returned yet.

The princes rebelled in the places where the eight generals were stationed, and they could no longer mobilize troops.

Didn't you see that the Beijing soldiers who were originally needed to defend Chaoge City were all transferred out to fight.

There are still 40 Dong Bohou's troops in the east, and if the soldiers and horses from the defense side are transferred away, the threat they can cause is greater than this group of 20 miscellaneous troops.

The problem that Chao Ge needs to face now is that the court has no soldiers to use.

However, under the auspices of Bigan, the court was not too chaotic.

Wei Ziqi turned his head to look at Fang Bi, and asked, "How many available soldiers are left in the Beijing camp?"

Fang Bi also had an ugly face, and gave the answer without thinking.

"Less than ten thousand."

"How about recruiting civilian husbands and healthy women from the city?"

Wei Ziqi continued to ask.

Before Fang Bi could give an answer, Lu Yan directly took over.

"Ten thousand soldiers is enough."

Bigan frowned slightly, looked at Lu Yan and asked, "What does Grand Master mean?"

"It's only 20 miscellaneous soldiers."

Lu Yan smiled at Bigan, then turned to look at the two brothers of the Fang family, and said, "Take your troops and fight with me. It's better to be quiet when discussing matters."

I don't know why, but at this moment, Fang Bi couldn't help feeling a touch of panic in his heart.

After Lu Yan finished speaking, he seemed to see a top general who came out of the mountain of corpses and blood.

This, in fact, is not an illusion.

A long time ago, Lu Yan had been a general for many years.

A veteran who has survived a hundred battles can fight three selves who have not experienced war.

He has experienced so many wars that he has formed some kind of muscle memory.

Even though he hasn't commanded troops for so many years, it doesn't mean he has forgotten.
