Take the earth to enshrine the gods

Chapter 298 Pacify the Southwest, close the gate to death!

The capital of God, the imperial palace.

The changes and sudden destruction of the Izumo Kingdom made the new emperor Kanshen very embarrassed, and made the court's mediation during this period very ridiculous.

This is a shame.

The birth of a new emperor could not blame Qian Yuan.

In the whole incident, at least on the surface, it was a problem within the Izumo country, and finally Qian Yuan picked up a ready-made bargain.

There is no sign of Qian Yuan's participation at all.

Losing face is only a trivial matter. This time, Qianyuan easily and smoothly annexed Izumo Kingdom, and the territory under his command increased to seven counties, twice the territory actually controlled by the imperial court.

This is intriguing.

Sitting in the rear of the south, Qianyuan is in a favorable position of "advance can be attacked, retreat can be defended".On the contrary, even if the imperial court united with King Wei and King Chu, it could no longer restrain Qian Yuan.

"just in case……"

The new emperor didn't dare to think about it in detail, and he couldn't sleep at night because of this.

…………

Luoyun Country, Chaoge City.

Qianyuan destroyed the Izumo country in this way. As one of the participants, Luo Mengli has not been relieved until now. The impact of this kind of country destruction is too severe.

Luo Mengli had to worry about the future of the kingdom.

After the destruction of the Izumo Kingdom, the southern part of Nuoda has been completely controlled by Qianyuan, and the existence of the Luoyun Kingdom is a bit eye-catching, and it has a taste of "stand out from the crowd".

Luo Mengli was really worried that Qian Yuan would break his previous promise.

"no, I can not."

Luo Mengli tried hard to convince herself, but she couldn't feel at ease after all.

On this day, Luo Mengli summoned Prime Minister Su Qin and Shui Yue Zhenren to announce a decision she had made: "I plan to rename the Chaoge Army to the Guards Army, and at the same time abolish it and reduce it to 1 people."

"..."

Su Qin didn't even know what to say.

Luo Mengli was already clearly hinting that she would disarm Qian Yuan to show that Luoyun Kingdom had absolutely no ambitions for external expansion, so as to further dispel Qian Yuan's doubts.

For the continuation of the kingdom, Luo Mengli also worked hard.

Master Shuiyue wanted to object several times, but when the words reached his mouth, he swallowed them back abruptly, and finally turned into a long sigh
Luo Mengli saw it and said with a smile: "Since none of you object, then the matter is settled."

In fact,
Luo Mengli wanted to reduce the kingdom's army to one-third of its original size, not only to show weakness to Qian Yuan, but also because of successive attacks from Xu Chu and Di Qing.

The two battles made Luo Mengli realize that the quality of the army is far more important than quantity.

The downsized Guards can not only greatly improve the quality of soldiers and condense combat effectiveness, but also facilitate the introduction of courage suits and spiritual shields from the Southern Border Protectorate.

With the financial resources of Luoyun Kingdom, it is completely possible to arm the guards to the teeth.

As its name suggests, the Guards' main duties are to defend the Luoyun royal family, and to be responsible for the battle against sea monsters in the coastal areas.

It is a defensive armed force.

I have to say that Luo Mengli's political wisdom is really impressive.

…………

When receiving the news of Luoyun Kingdom's disarmament from Su Qin, Qianyuan was still stationed in Izumo City.

After watching, Qian Yuan shook his head amusedly.

It has to be said that this time Luo Mengli really thought too much, no matter how black-bellied Qian Yuan was, he would not break the promise and attack Luoyun Kingdom.

So what has he become?

Of course, since Luo Mengli has expressed her opinion, Qian Yuan will not stop her.

Perhaps what Luo Mengli was worried about was not Qianyuan, but Qianyuan's successor in the future. The current disarmament was just a plan for the future of Luoyun Kingdom.

Since you want to be a neutral country, you can't have too many troops.

Having said that, the defeat of Izumo Kingdom this time is indeed a milestone event on Qianyuan's road to hegemony, and its significance is directly comparable to the entire territory of Zhaoyao County when he went south.

From now on, Qianyuan really doesn't need to look at anyone's eyes anymore.

Of course, there is also a huge crisis in the middle.

That is, the territory currently occupied by Qianyuan and the size of the army it possesses are far beyond the scope of an imperial vassal.

Regardless of whether Qianyuan wants it or not, if this continues, the conflict between him and the empire will only get bigger and bigger.

Not to mention anything else, whether it is the emerging families of the fiefdom or the old families, they will launch rounds of lobbying against Qian Yuan in the foreseeable future.

A vassal king can no longer tolerate the interests of these people.

Either, Qianyuan embarked on the road of seizing the throne of the imperial throne, or simply established himself as king, completely got rid of the shackles of the empire, and opened up a new world.

The former is radical and the latter is conservative.

But for Qianyuan, when the empire is still facing the threat of monsters, he will not disregard the safety and inheritance of the empire and brazenly provoke a civil war.

You can have ambitions, but you must also have a bottom line.

The opposition between the human and demon tribes is the bottom line that Qianyuan must adhere to. He would rather attack Qingqiu Kingdom than initiate a civil war at an inappropriate time.

Unless the new emperor takes the initiative to hand over the throne.
This is of course impossible.

While Qian Yuan was thinking wildly, Pei Ju, the newly appointed governor of Izumo, came in and asked for instructions: "Your Highness, what should we do with the former members of the Izumo royal family?"

Qian Yuan said: "Let's follow the regulations for dealing with the quicksand royal family. Find a manor outside the city to resettle them and monitor their daily life. They are not allowed to enter or leave without orders."

If these people entered the manor, they would never want to come out for the rest of their lives.

In the manor, apart from basic food security, no cultivation materials are provided.Qianyuan didn't want one or two cultivation geniuses among these people to seek revenge from Qianyuan in the future.

In fact, after these people gradually fade out of the sight of the people, there is a greater chance that they will be executed secretly by the black guards without leaving any further consequences.

Now,
In order to stabilize the hearts of the people, it is necessary to put on a show.

"The officer understands."

Pei Ju nodded, saluted, and then retreated.

…………

It was not until the end of August, after the reorganization of the Izumo Army came to an end, that Qian Yuan returned to Zhaoyao City.

As soon as he came back, Qianyuan frequently summoned all the officials.

Those who didn't know, thought that Qianyuan was going to make some big move again, which made the new emperor in the capital of the gods worried that he couldn't eat well and couldn't sleep well.

My hair is going to be gray.

Similarly, King Wei and King Chu, who bordered on the Qianyuan fiefdom, both strengthened their fiefdom's combat readiness and began to purchase and hoard all kinds of war supplies.

Even the Qingqiu country put on a defensive posture.

There is a feeling of turmoil in the entire Eastern Continent.Right now, the Southern Border Protectorate Mansion really has the posture of a fierce tiger breaking free from its cage. A little roll can make the enemies around it tremble.

Actually?

Not at all.

In Izumo City, Qianyuan accidentally broke through to the middle stage of Qi Entrainment, and all the Qi in his body was transformed into Zhen Qi. The next step was to turn Qi into nine turns, turning Qi into liquid.

To achieve this, Qianyuan must first find a suitable place to condense it.This one had already been chosen when he had just broken through to the entrainment stage, and it was located in a hidden place deep in the Zhaoyao Mountain.

Then, Qian Yuan will go to the stellar gas layer above the sky to refine the stellar gas.

This is Ningsha Liangang.

This step needs to be completed in one go, without delay.

The most important thing is that this step cannot be tricked, and even merit and luck cannot help. The whole process will take two to three years.

In other words, Qianyuan is going to start the longest retreat since his practice.Before retreating, he must of course arrange the affairs of the fief properly so as not to make any mistakes.

Fortunately, with the end of the Battle of Izumo, the entire Eastern Continent is expected to return to calm. As long as the fiefdom does not take the initiative to cause trouble, I am afraid that no one who is not good-looking will dare to take the initiative to kill.

This is also the reason why Qian Yuan dared to retreat at this time.

It is precisely for this reason that officials are frequently summoned this time, so they are not planning any big moves.

For the misunderstanding and vigilance of the outside world, Qian Yuan has no intention to pay attention to it. In mid-September, after everything is arranged, he disappears from the public eye.
Let the outside world be turbulent.
