He agreed, largely because Han Yu did not send these people to fight, but only gathered them all at Jialing Pass.

When the real war breaks out, these 500,000 troops will definitely be handed over to him to deploy. In this case, there is no need for him to object.

Besides, the overall quality of the Xingluo Empire's army was stronger than that of the Tiandou Empire, and he knew it was difficult to resist the invasion of the enemy. But he led the troops to resist the invasion in order to boost the morale of the people and the army of the Tiandou Empire.

Since the interspersion method proposed by Han Yu can achieve certain results, they will naturally give an explanation to the people, and that is enough.

After the court meeting ended, the ministers' thoughts began to become active.

Originally, they had already transferred part of their property to Canaan City. Now, they were already thinking, if the Tiandou Empire was defeated, should they take refuge in Wuhun City or Canaan City.

After all, there are Titled Douluo in these two cities, and the Xingluo Empire is unlikely to fight to the death with them. It's just that Canaan City is closer to them, plus they previously purchased real estate in Canaan City, so they are more inclined to go to Han Yu.

You know, the military strength of the Tiandou Empire is already weak. If Jialing Pass is lost, the entire empire will be in danger.

Han Yu saw their lack of confidence. However, it didn't matter to him. It was easy for the Xingluo Empire to win in the short term, but it was impossible to annex the Tiandou Empire.

Just based on the power of Haotian Sect and Lake Heart Island, they are not qualified.

Currently, Zhu Zhuqing and the other two, as well as Zhu Dazhi and the other two, have completed the eighth test of their divine examination. As for the ninth test, they must wait until the ninety-ninth level.

In this case, Han Yu sent Zhu Dazhi and the other two to the Barak Kingdom to assist them in resisting the offensive of the Xingluo Empire.

As an important part of the plan, the Barak Kingdom must not fall. Besides, the Barak Kingdom is very close to the Wuhun City. Once the Barak Kingdom falls, the Xingluo Empire's army can directly attack the Wuhun City.

The flames of war have reached their doorstep, and the Spirit Hall will certainly declare war on the Xingluo Empire. This is definitely disadvantageous to Tang Xiao. Therefore, before Tang San became a god, they would not be so stupid. At most, they would send troops to contain the Barak Kingdom to prevent them from rushing to the main battlefield.

As for Zhu Zhuqing, Tianyue and Dugu Yan, Han Yu arranged for them to harass the supply lines of the Xingluo soldiers behind enemy lines to delay their attack.

After the eighth test, Golden Crocodile Douluo had returned to Wuhun City. The three of them had now broken through to the Titled Douluo level, so their safety was definitely not a problem.

The next morning, several major sects within the Xing Luo Empire jointly issued a statement.

The Fire Leopard Sect, the Wind Sword Sect, the Rock Antelope Sect, the Sparrow Bee Sect, and the Holy Dragon Sect will not support the unjust war of the Xingluo Empire. They even publicly announced that they will support the Tiandou Empire.

These guys are the lackeys of the Spirit Hall. It is not surprising that they would make such a statement.

But after hearing the news, Dai Mubai and Tang San were furious, and immediately Sea Dragon Douluo and Poseidon went to suppress the five major sects.

Unfortunately, when the two of them arrived at the Holy Dragon Sect, the sect's headquarters was already empty.

Tuoba Xi had already led his people to Wuhun City, and the situation of other sects was the same.

"How is this possible? There must be old, weak, sick and disabled people in their sect. It's impossible for them to withdraw so quickly." Dai Mubai was dumbfounded.

These five sects alone would not cause much trouble, but they all came out to oppose the Xingluo Empire. The soul master corps jointly formed by the five sects would inevitably consume a large number of Xingluo Empire's troops.

By then, the Tiandou Empire will take advantage of the situation to counterattack, and the Xingluo Empire will be the first to fight? Who knows, the Xingluo Empire may really lose in this war.

As the initiator of the war, Dai Mubai will definitely be held accountable afterwards.

"Mu Bai, how can you be so anxious?" Tang San reminded.

Dai Mubai certainly didn't dare to tear his face with Tang San. After he calmed down, he asked: "Xiao San, what can you do?"

Tang San smiled, "Mu Bai, don't forget. These sects are the running dogs of the Spirit Hall. Now that the Spirit Hall has not declared war on us, how could it loosen the dog chain and let these five sects make things difficult for us?"

"Besides, our battle line is far away from Wuhun City. They can't travel such a long distance to deliberately make an enemy of us. As long as we refuse to declare war, Wuhun Palace will take into account the pressure of public opinion and will never cause trouble for us. Do you think we still need to be afraid of them now?"

Hearing this, Dai Mubai suddenly understood.

Yes, Wuhun City is far away from the front line, and sending people to join the war is just a disguised declaration of war. And they have always portrayed themselves as a peace-loving force, so this behavior is not a slap in their face.

Before they could discuss further, a voice in their heads diverted their attention.

"The eighth test of Rakshasa (the eighth top test), establish the Rakshasa secret realm and offer the blood of 10,000 people! The test lasts for one year. If you pass the test, you will be rewarded with a five-level increase in soul power and a 20% increase in Rakshasa affinity. If you fail the test, you will die!"

Hearing the long-lost voice, Tang San and the other man smiled at the same time.

"Haha, Xiaosan, it looks like I'll be busy from now on." Dai Mubai laughed.

This is his final test. Once completed, his strength will be greatly improved.

Tang San originally wanted to establish the Rakshasa Secret Realm within the Tang Sect, but on second thought, it seemed a little unrealistic.

The location of the Tang Sect is too far away from Xingluo City, and it is not easy to get the blood of these ten thousand people.

In Xingluo City, it is very easy to capture ten thousand people.

Because of Dai Mubai's rash act of starting a war, many ministers were dissatisfied with him. Arresting these people would undoubtedly eliminate obstacles to Dai Mubai's subsequent decisions. It would also help them complete the divine test, killing two birds with one stone.

Since these guys don't obey orders, just hand over your lives.

The reward after the God Test is huge, and Tang San is confident that he can quickly break through to the Titled Douluo level, thus gaining enough advantage in the war.

"Xiao San, my divine test is to assist you in establishing the Rakshasa Secret Realm. How about this, you build the secret realm in the Heavenly Prison. The criminals and guards imprisoned there will be considered as a gift to Senior Rakshasa God." Dai Mubai suggested.

Dai Mubai was very dissatisfied with the guards in the prison, especially since Davis had escaped from prison right under their noses.

Squeezing every last drop of value out of these good-for-nothings would make the salaries the empire has paid them over the years worthwhile.

This was too easy for Dai Mubai. He just drove all the criminals and guards at the bottom of the prison to the upper level and ordered them to go down to the lower level.

…

The joint statement of the five major sects continued to ferment, and the people of the Xingluo Empire could not help but doubt Dai Mubai's decision.

If it was just to seek justice, then it would be enough to capture one or two cities on the border of the Tiandou Empire and force Xue Qinghe to stop. Why should we keep attacking? Moreover, there were conscription notices everywhere in the Xingluo Empire, and it was obvious that they wanted to fight the war to the end.

War is not good for civilians. Even if wealth is brought back from the occupied areas, it will only go into the pockets of the nobles and has nothing to do with the civilians. For a time, Dai Mubai's reputation dropped to the lowest point, and he even wanted to send troops to arrest all those who spread rumors.

Tang Xiao realized that something was wrong and hurried to the palace.

At this time, Tang San was busy building the Rakshasa Secret Realm and had no time to give Dai Mubai advice. Dai Mubai and the four elders who stayed in the palace did not understand politics and could not handle it at all.

Running back and forth made Tang Xiao extremely disappointed with Dai Mubai. Even if he was a puppet emperor, he couldn't always think of using force to solve problems, right?

Now, the Xingluo Empire's front line has been in need of replenishment of troops, and the rear has to waste troops to fight against civilians. Isn't this a problem? Moreover, if the army suppresses civilians, once public opinion spreads, countless uprisings will break out in the Xingluo Empire.

There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!

By then, let alone fighting against the Tiandou Empire, Dai Mubai’s position would probably be overthrown.

Tang Xiao's face was extremely ugly. He shouted angrily: "Dai Mubai, if you want to lose the throne, then do this. And the Fourth Elder, can you use your brains? We have captured so many cities on the front line, but you are suppressing them and even thinking of confronting the people. Do you want to die!"

Even a powerful sect like the Haotian Sect had to acknowledge the power of the common people.

Civilians account for more than 90% of the empire's population, and are also an important part of the army. If they are offended, not to mention that the army has no combat effectiveness, what can the less than 10% of the noble population use to compete with the civilians? Now the court is in a panic, who dares to give Dai Mubai advice now? Dai Mubai can only pin his hopes on Tang Xiao for these difficult problems.

However, he did not understand the meaning of Tang Xiao's words. Instead, he asked, "Master Tang, how should this matter be resolved? I will follow your arrangements."

Tang Xiao's eyelids twitched. Didn't he make it very clear just now? Diverting attention and making empty promises! So many cities have been captured on the front line. Won't these cities need to be inhabited in the future? Inform the civilians in the empire of the victory and say that these captured cities can be unconditionally allowed to occupy them in the future. Isn't that enough!

Tang Xiao was too lazy to play guessing games and just told his plans directly.

He now has some doubts. Was it really the right choice to support Dai Mubai in the first place? This guy is a complete political novice. He knows nothing and is still thinking about those tricks. He might as well tie up a dog. At least, a dog won't give orders at will.

Now, Tang Xiao only hopes that Dai Mubai will get out of here as soon as possible and let Tang San take his place.

Speaking of Tang San, he then remembered that Tang San did not show up.

He had asked Tang San to stay in Xingluo City before, just to prevent Dai Mubai from giving bad ideas and disrupting his plans. Why didn't Tang San give Dai Mubai any advice on such an important matter these days, but Dai Mubai called him back instead?

"Mu Bai, where is Xiao San?"

Dai Mubai had just finished instructing his servants to arrange Tang Xiao's actions when he hurried over.

"Master Tang, Xiao San and I both have new divine tests. Currently, Xiao San is in the basement of the Heavenly Prison, busy with the content of the divine test. Otherwise, I would not have transferred you back from Tiger Roar Pass."

Hearing about the God Test, Tang Xiao's face finally looked better. At this stage, Tang San's God Test was indeed a top priority. Only when Tang San became a god would they have a chance to defeat the Spirit Hall.

This matter cannot be taken lightly.

"Okay, Mu Bai, let's arrange it this way. Fourth Elder, you come with me to the front line. The rear of the empire is absolutely safe now. We still need your help on the front line." Seeing that the Fourth Elder was ineffective, Tang Xiao would not let him live in comfort.

Although the Fourth Elder was not on good terms with Tang Xiao, there were no other elders present at the moment, and his say alone was not enough to make Tang Xiao change his mind.

…

The war situation on the front line of the Xingluo Empire is indeed very clear.

Along the way, there were very few soldiers guarding the city from the Tiandou Empire, and they basically surrendered after just a few days of fighting.

When they arrived at Izumo Castle, they encountered large-scale resistance.

Han Yu was of course aware that if they pushed forward too smoothly, they would inevitably become suspicious. In order to consolidate the supply lines, they might choose to stay in the occupied cities.

As a result, the Tiandou Empire appeared to be in a passive position.

Make them tense from time to time, and tell them that the Xing Luo Empire has not given up resistance, then they will fall into the trap.

With the continuous accumulation of military merits, Ge Hang now has 10,000 soldiers under his command. However, the production of Tang Sect's hidden weapons cannot keep up with the speed of replenishment of soldiers, so the new 5,000 soldiers did not receive any hidden weapons.

These days, Feng Xiaotian has been trying to find out about the forces on Lake Heart Island, but to no avail. At least, there are no people from Lake Heart Island in the army he is currently in.

This is not surprising, as most of the people on Lake Heart Island are soul masters. Now that the war is so easy to fight, it is not a good time for them to enter the battlefield.

"Arthur, you have the least experience, so stay here to cover the rear. I'll leave you a thousand soldiers. If anyone dares to attack our supply lines, they will be killed without mercy." Ge Hang arranged.

According to the intelligence they received, there were at least 30,000 defenders in Izumo City. Moreover, this was also a large city. They could not take it down with only 10,000 troops. Therefore, another 70,000 troops would attack the city from other gates of Izumo City together with them.

Feng Xiaotian was not very active in the war. Ge Hang, out of his love for talent, thought that this was his first time participating in a war and his mentality had not yet adjusted.

Behind them were the troops of the Xingluo Empire. It was simply unrealistic for the Tiandou Empire's army to cut off their food supplies. Let Feng Xiaotian guard the rear, trust him, and when the city was captured, he could also gain some benefits by virtue of his contribution.

Although Ge Hang is a bloodthirsty person, he is still nice to the people around him.

Feng Xiaotian did not refuse. If it were not for Han Yu's arrangement, he would have gone to help the Tiandou Empire defend the city. (End of this chapter)
