Take the earth to enshrine the gods

Chapter 196 A Sword Flies to Slay a Famous General
"How is the battle in Qingqiu country?" Qian Yuan asked Su Qin.

"Very sticky."

Su Qin introduced that with the southward invasion of the Zhulong Kingdom, the entire Qingqiu Kingdom was preparing for war.

In addition to the Northern Route Army fighting on the front line, Hu Zun also dispatched [-] troops from the South Route Army and an elite [-]-man squad from the Wang Ting Guard Army to fight against the enemy together.

At the same time, Qingqiu Kingdom also issued an emergency mobilization order for war, starting emergency recruitment within the kingdom.

It can be described as a last stand.

With a large number of reinforcements, the Northern Route Army finally managed to stabilize its position, ended the bad situation of consecutive defeats, and entered a stalemate with the enemy in the northern area.

As for Zhulong's side, the biggest achievement was to conquer the largest city in the northern border of Qingqiu Kingdom - Qinghu City in one fell swoop, and use this as a base to attack and defend.

According to the current situation, the balance of war is still inclined to the side of Zhulong Kingdom.

Su Qin said: "Qingqiu Kingdom lost Qinghu City, not only lost a large city, but more importantly, the huge amount of food and grass hoarded here by Qingqiu Kingdom also fell into the hands of Zhulong Kingdom."

Qian Yuan is clear.

No wonder Master Fox is willing to start a grain trade with the fiefdom. It turns out that there is a shortage of grain.

The Yaozu were already in a state of food shortage all the time, and losing Qinghu City, a big granary, would be like adding insult to injury to Qingqiu Country.

"As long as there is a need." Qian Yuan thought to himself.

Qian Yuan suddenly thought of something, and asked Su Qin: "Before you came back, Qingqiu country had already signed a border trade agreement with Liusha country?"

"Signed."

"Before us, or after?" Qian Yuan asked immediately.

A trace of shame flashed across Su Qin's face, and he replied, "Before."

Qian Yuan's eyes flashed, not to blame Su Qin, but to think of another possibility, "You said, Qingqiu country agrees to Liusha country's trade demands, is it also intended to appease Liusha country?"

Use is often mutual.

The country of Quicksand uses trade to relieve the troubles in the west, so that it can deal with Wanhuamen with all its strength; don't you know that the country of Qingqiu is also taking advantage of the situation to set a trap for the country of Quicksand, so as to relieve the threat of the country of Quicksand, so as to deal with the kingdom of Zhulong with all its strength?

The Qingqiu State South Route Army has only [-] troops in total, and if two of them are taken away at once, the remaining troops will be very weak, and it will be difficult to maintain the long border.

Even agreeing to start trade with the fief, I'm afraid they have similar plans.

"It's very possible." Su Qin is a master of vertical and horizontal combinations, so he naturally sees it through at a point, frowning: "The brief contact between the following official and Lord Fox, the other party is really unpredictable, like the sea, people can't see through it .”

Qianyuan looked solemn.

First came Zhulong, then Fox Venerable, and the heroes of the monster race emerged one after another, which is really a problem for the human race.

"Go down and rest first." Qian Yuan took the initiative to end the conversation.

"The subordinate retire."

Su Qin got up and left the study.

…………

After sending Su Qin away, Qianyuan immediately summoned Cao Rui, a doctor from Hu Cao.

Qian Yuan handed the trade agreement brought by Su Qin to Cao Rui, and after Cao Rui finished reading it, he said, "Maybe Hu Cao can come up with enough grain to exchange with Qingqiu Country?"

"no problem."

Cao Rui is very confident. Since Kyushu No. [-] rice and potatoes were popularized in the fief, the grain production has been higher than the previous season, and there has been a surplus of grain.

Even a large amount of grain can be produced for wine making.

The grain and grass in all prefectures and counties are also piled to the brim. If the sect rebellion did not break out, Hu Cao would have prepared to sell a batch of grain to free up the granary.

During the war, it is better to keep food in your hands.

Qian Yuan said: "Then raise the first batch of grain as soon as possible, pass Tengshe Pass, and complete the transaction with Qingqiu Kingdom. The price can be lowered appropriately, don't worry about losing money."

Knowing that the Quicksand Kingdom also had similar operations, Qian Yuan became interested.

In a short period of time, all Qianyuan can think of is to fight a price war and take advantage of the high yield of food and grass in the fiefdom to squeeze the trading space of the quicksand country.

Compared with food, the fiefdom is really not afraid of the quicksand country.

In addition, although the Panther Pass is not safe, it is not without advantages. The biggest advantage is that it can transport food directly to the front line through the shortest distance.

This is much more convenient than adjusting grain from the south.

"I understand." Cao Rui nodded in response.

After talking about food, just when Cao Rui thought the conversation was about to end, Qian Yuan suddenly said: "I heard that someone recommended Cao Gong to be the county magistrate of Liusha, but you rejected it?"

Cao Gong is Cao Rui's incompetent son.

When Cao Rui heard this, his face changed slightly, and he said as calmly as possible: "Don't dare to hide your Highness, Cao Gong is too embarrassing to be appointed as a county magistrate."

Qian Yuan nodded and said nothing more.

After Cao Rui left the study, he broke into a cold sweat with fright. He really didn't know why His Highness suddenly mentioned this matter.

Fortunately, he declined.

otherwise
Cao Rui shook his head vigorously, not daring to think further.

The current Highness is no longer what he was before, and his mind is so unpredictable that it is already difficult to fathom it.

…………

While Qianyuan was busy doing business with Qingqiu, the battle of Longshou County had also entered a critical period.

After advancing for more than half a month, the First Army attacked the city all the way, including Keleshan and Xunwu, and the three armies reunited in one place, brazenly advancing into the Dragon Capital.

By the first ten days of November, the mighty army had reached the city of Longshou.

Everyone in the Zixiao Sword Sect knew that this was a decisive battle. The sect was at a critical moment of life and death. From the sect leader Qingyangzi down to the ordinary disciples, they all left the sect's residence in Longshou Mountain and entered Longshou City.

November [-], morning.

Qingyangzi and his entourage stood on the top of the city, looking at the black army that was not far away outside the city, they all looked solemn.

"Okay, let's make a break here."

Qingyangzi has white hair and a long white beard flying in the wind, like a peerless sword fairy, with a little purple starlight hidden in his gentle eyes.

That little bit of starlight is enough to shine in the world.

That was Qingyangzi's restrained sharpness of a lifetime, and also the peerless sword energy he cultivated.

If you don't make a move, it will be enough, and the sky will be shocked.

"Brother Sect Leader, do you want to use that trick?" The elder Dong Lizi beside him was full of worry.

Qingyangzi cast his eyes into the distance, vaguely locked on to the fifth rock in the army, and said indifferently: "To capture a thief, first capture the king, and to kill an enemy, first kill the general. If you fight recklessly, even if Longshou City can be defended, the price will be too high. "

"But that will lose ten years of senior brother's lifespan."

Dong Lizi was still a little worried. Qingyangzi's lifespan was approaching, and if he used such an ultimate move, it would be tantamount to paying his lifespan in advance.

It's really not a good thing.

Qingyangzi said with a smile: "Compared with the sect's orthodox inheritance, what is a little longevity worth?"

Dong Lizi was silent.

"Sword come!"

Qingyangzi didn't speak anymore, it was obvious that he had made up his mind. As he spoke, the starlight in his eyes suddenly shot out and turned into a deep purple sword light, only the size of a silver needle, still sharp and restrained.

The moment the sword light appeared, both inside and outside Longshou City, whether it was the flying sword of the sword cultivator or the saber in the hands of the warrior, trembled unconsciously.

It is reverence and adoration.

That little sword light seemed to be the Lord of Ten Thousand Swords, aloft.

"Ok?"

As a late-stage powerhouse of Wu Zun, Fifth Rock also felt the powerful sword intent that straddled the sky and the earth for the first time, and his face changed slightly.

But before the fifth rock could recover, the deep purple sword light that was hanging above Qingyangzi's head one moment appeared in front of him the next moment, like tearing apart space.

"drink!"

The fifth rock felt a great threat. On the little sword light, an increasingly powerful sword intent radiated, as if it wanted to tear the entire space apart.

The sabers of the soldiers around were shaking violently uncontrollably.

Without even thinking about it, Fifth Rock struck with the sword in his hand. This was already the most proud move in his life. It was powerful and heavy, but also as fast as lightning. It was simply contrary to common sense.

The broadsword turned into a sword shadow all over the sky, with the purple sword light as the center, covering all its top, bottom, left and right. Quietly, a sword array had been laid out.

At the same time, an invisible aura rose up from the fifth rock, which was the divine will that was sublimated after the combination of his sword intention and Gang Qi.

God's will directs the stellar energy in the body, and in an instant, a shield of stellar energy is placed outside the body.

Wu Zun is really extraordinary.

A seemingly ordinary move, but it is both offensive and defensive.

As for Qingyangzi, who was far away at the top of the city, the moment he summoned the stars in his eyes, the only black hair on his head turned into snow-white in the blink of an eye, and his face became much paler.

Seeing Fifth Panshi's response, Qingyangzi smiled lightly and said, "A mantis is like a cart."

While speaking, the deep purple sword light suddenly accelerated, with the sharpness of tearing everything and destroying everything, it instantly broke through the knife array laid by the fifth rock, and then easily passed through the qi shield.

Finally, it pierced through the fifth rock between the eyebrows, leaving a little red.
