Chapter 411: The Three Kingdoms Divide Wei
Yizhou, inside and outside the city, are two completely different worlds.
The soldiers of Daxia cheered and shouted "Long live His Majesty", their excitement was beyond words.
No matter what Your Majesty did in the past, today he beheaded the Emperor of Wei and swallowed up the destiny of Wei in front of the two armies. All his past mistakes will be forgiven.
This achievement is the first among all the emperors of Daxia, even higher than that of the founding emperor.
If he could accomplish the great task of unifying the continent, no one would care about killing great scholars, killing his own people, employing treacherous officials, or ignoring state affairs...
On the contrary, there was deathly silence in the Wei army outside the city.
His Majesty died, his head chopped off by the Emperor of Xia in front of them.
In just a quarter of an hour, their position and that of Xia Guo changed.
Witnessing the fall of their king with their own eyes, the morale of the Wei army was completely destroyed at this moment.
Under the leadership of several semi-saints, the Wei army began to retreat rapidly.
On the city wall, a general asked enthusiastically, "Your Majesty, do you want to pursue?"
Emperor Xia raised his hand and said, "No hurry."
As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood.
In terms of the strength of an emperor, he is indeed inferior to the Emperor of Wei. He had been holding on just now, but now he no longer has the strength to pursue.
However, now that the Emperor of Wei was dead, the State of Wei was no longer a threat.
When he recovers from his injuries, it will be time to counterattack the State of Wei.
He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and said, "I will be in seclusion for a few days. All matters will be decided after I come out of seclusion."
After Emperor Xia went to recover from his injuries and left, the Left Prime Minister looked at the Right Prime Minister and asked, "You, when did you..."
As friends for decades, he had always thought that both of them were great scholars, but he never expected that the Right Prime Minister had broken through to the semi-saint realm at some point.
The Right Prime Minister smiled slightly and said, "Not long ago..."
Zuo Xiang also showed a relieved smile on his face and said, "Okay, okay..."
Even though he had been kept in the dark, it was a great blessing for Daxia.
At this moment, he did not notice that the Right Prime Minister, who was already a semi-saint of Confucianism, seemed to be looking at him with an inexplicable envy...
…
The death of the emperors of the five dynasties is always a top-level event on the continent.
I don’t know how many forces are secretly paying attention to this matter.
The raging waves are spreading wildly in all directions with Yizhou as the center.
When the news reached Wei, the noble families, officials and dignitaries were devastated.
They found it hard to imagine and understand. They had all the advantages, so how could they end up like this?
Everyone's heart is filled with confusion and fear about the future.
However, the people in various states of Wei did not feel too sad.
The loss of a country is certainly tragic, but it may not be a bad thing if one can live a better life after the loss of a country.
According to the wealthy merchants and nobles who fled from Vietnam, the revolutionary army would forcibly confiscate their land wherever they went and distribute their land to the people...
The revolutionary army also stipulated that their shops must employ long-term workers, with a monthly salary of no less than two taels of silver, no less than eight days of vacation per month, and additional compensation for working more than four hours a day...
In addition to expressing sympathy for these wealthy families and businessmen, the people of each state are also looking forward to when the revolutionary army will arrive here. There are also many people here who need revolution...
The capital of Wei State.
Somewhere in a luxurious mansion.
A figure hurried in, knelt on the ground, and said to a white-haired old man: "Master, His Majesty, His Majesty has fallen!"
The white-haired old man slowly opened his eyes, his expression calm. He just sighed slightly and said, "I lost in the end..."
Now that the Emperor of Wei is dead, it is only a matter of time before the State of Wei is destroyed.
As the strategists behind the Wei State, they lost miserably.
He stood up and said, "Let's go..."
The young man asked, “Where to?”
The strategists have no motherland; they wander around and have no fixed place to live.
Since Wei was destroyed, there was no need to stay here. The old man said, "If we go to Chu, I will lose. I want to see what other tricks my junior brother has..."
Chu State.
"What, Emperor Xia is also a half-saint of martial arts?"
"The Right Prime Minister is a Confucian semi-sage?"
"Emperor Xia killed Emperor Wei in public. Has the Wei army retreated?"
…
Upon hearing the news, Lin Fuzhi stood there in shock, his face full of disbelief.
Emperor Chu looked at him and asked in a deep voice: "Brother, you have been in Xia Country for so many years and hold such a high position. Don't you know such important news at all?"
Lin Fuzhi shook his head, "I don't know..."
Although he was the Jingzhao Yin and had a very clear understanding of the strength of several major families and the Daxia army over the years, he still did not know these two things.
His Majesty, who only wanted immortality, was so cunning that he had not revealed anything about martial arts over the years.
This battle completely changed the continental landscape.
The emperor of Wei is dead, and its demise is only a matter of time.
Once Wei is completely annexed, Daxia will be the strongest among all the countries.
By then, even if Qi and Chu joined forces, they might not be their match.
Lin Fuzhi said: "The most urgent task is to annex Wei as soon as possible before Daxia. We must not sit idly by and watch Xia continue to grow..."
Qi State.
Capital city.
Inside a hall somewhere in the imperial palace, several voices were equally filled with shock.
"Emperor Wei is dead?"
"Being beheaded in public by Emperor Xia?"
"Damn it, what on earth is the Chang'an Qingluan Society doing? They didn't even find out such important information at all?"
"Don't worry about it for now. The death of the King of Wei may not be a bad thing for us. Immediately transfer the troops from the border of Zhao State back. We must not miss this piece of fat meat..."
…
The five great dynasties have dominated the continent for hundreds of years.
No one expected that the powerful Wei State would be the first to be eliminated.
After the death of the Emperor of Wei, the State of Chu immediately gave up attacking Daxia and instead sent troops to the State of Wei. In just a few days, it had captured several cities.
Qi also took action at the first opportunity, annexing several small countries between the two countries, continuing to move south and invading the territory of Wei.
This war started with Wei's invasion of Xia and ended with the division of Wei among Xia, Chu and Qi.
After the death of Emperor Wei, the morale of the Wei army was completely lost. Wherever the Three Kingdoms passed, most of the cities gave up resistance and directly opened the city gates to surrender...
In this war, Daxia was undoubtedly the country that gained the most.
After seizing the fortune of the Wei State, Emperor Xia became the number one person on the continent.
Of the Wei State's lands, Daxia occupied the largest portion.
Qi and Chu also gained huge benefits from it. Daxia occupied half of Wei's land, and Qi and Chu almost divided the other half equally.
Because Zhao State did not border Wei State, it was unable to get a share of the profits.
…
Chang'an.
After the Battle of Yizhou, Li Nuo brought his beloved ladies back to Chang'an.
Jia Ren and An Ning were concerned about their children, so after the crisis in Da Xia was resolved, they stayed here for a few days and then rushed back to Zhao.
The master and two uncles led the disciples back to Mount Sanqing, and Zhenren Taixu also returned to Mount Shu. They agreed to go down the mountain in order to defend Daxia.
Now, Daxia has turned from being the invaded to the invader. They have neither reason nor need to take action.
After the death of Emperor Wei, the Wei army that was confronting the revolutionary army surrendered, and several semi-saints of Wei also expressed their intention to surrender to Daxia.
They had no choice but to surrender.
The Emperor of Daxia has become the strongest man on the continent, and he can easily wipe them out even on Wei territory.
The Yu State and the Liang State, which were adjacent to the Yue State, have now become the Yuzhou Road and Liangzhou Road of Daxia. These small countries existed as buffers for the big countries, but now that there is no need for buffers between the big countries, they have also been annexed one by one.
In the entire continent, there are only four countries left: Xia, Chu, Qi and Zhao.
Among them, in terms of territory, Daxia is undoubtedly the first. In a very short period of time, Daxia jumped from the bottom of the five dynasties to the top of the five dynasties.
The appearance of the people in Chang'an is very different from before.
The dark clouds that had previously shrouded the hearts of the people were swept away, and people walked on the streets with their heads held high. From the government to the common people, almost everyone was discussing the future unification of the world by Daxia.
The voices criticizing His Majesty have completely disappeared without a trace.
Even the teachers and students of the academy, who had never given face to the court or His Majesty, changed their ways and wrote poems and lyrics to praise him, never mentioning the past...
In just one day, the reputation of His Majesty has changed from an incompetent and foolish ruler to a capable and wise ruler.
It was at this time that Li Nuo realized that His Majesty's so-called seclusion in pursuit of immortality was actually a scam.
He deceived everyone and went into seclusion under the pretext of seeking the path to immortality, but in reality he was secretly practicing martial arts.
The royal family bears the fate of the country, so it is difficult for them to have talent in martial arts.
Being a member of the royal family, he possessed an extremely high talent for martial arts. At the age of sixty, he became a semi-saint in martial arts. Even among martial artists, he was considered a genius that only appeared once in a century.
The first time he displayed his martial arts in front of everyone was when he used his semi-saint cultivation to kill the Emperor of Wei in front of hundreds of thousands of troops from both countries...
As an emperor, he is so tolerant that one cannot help but admire him.
The situation in Daxia reversed, and Li Nuo had a strange feeling in his heart.
He had read countless online novels in his previous life. Logically, shouldn't the time traveler be the protagonist? Moreover, he also possessed a golden finger like the Code. The usual plot should not be that at the critical moment when Daxia was about to perish, he alone turned the tide and saved the people from the water and fire, becoming the savior of Daxia...
But in fact, he didn't feel too involved in the whole thing.
Although the revolutionary army contained the Wei and Chu states, forcing them to dispatch troops to support and relieve the pressure on the front line, it can be said that some results were achieved.
But compared to your majesty who had endured for sixty years, killed the emperor of Wei in one day, and made Daxia the host, and the man behind the scenes who set up the longevity elixir, so that no one in the countries dared to claim the throne, countless dignitaries turned into dry bones, killed the emperors of the five dynasties, and completely changed the continent's pattern, he can only be regarded as having done a tiny bit of work...
If there really is a protagonist in this world, it's definitely not him.
Since crossing over to this world, everything he did attracted everyone's attention, from being the top scholar in the six subjects to supporting the empress to ascend the throne, teasing the thousand-year-old family like a toy in the palm of his hand, to forming a revolutionary army and letting the spark of hope ignite in this world...
But compared to what that man did, Li Nuo couldn't help feeling a sense of frustration.
At this moment, Li Nuo suddenly became extremely curious. Who was the person who controlled all this behind the scenes and gave the longevity elixir to His Majesty and Emperor Wei?
The Emperor of Wei is already dead. I’m afraid only Your Majesty knows the answer to this matter.
Slowly stepping into the Li Mansion, Li Nuo saw a figure sitting on a stone bench in the yard, looking up at the sky.
Li Nuo also looked up and saw nothing in the sky except a few white clouds.
These days, my father often stares at the sky in a daze alone.
Li Nuo had never seen him like this before.
I haven't seen him often in the past few months, and there are more white hairs on his temples.
This was the first time that Li Nuo saw some signs of old age in him.
Li Nuo walked over slowly and said softly: "Father..."
Li Xuanjing withdrew his gaze from the sky, looked at Li Nuo, and asked, "I heard from Butler Wu that you and Yiren had a fight?"
Li Nuo smiled slightly and said, "It's just a small fight. I can coax her later."
The reason why Yiren was angry with him was that she was angry that Fenghuang was ranked ahead of her.
She wanted the grandest wedding, and even had to choose the date carefully. She wanted to get married at the end of the year, so she had to give up her seat again and again...
Li Nuo looked at the white hair on his head, and after thinking about it, he still did not transfer his life span to him.
It's not that he is reluctant, but his identity is different. Senior Dongfang, Zhenren Taixu, and his master and uncle are all semi-saints. Their appearance changes will not arouse suspicion. Li Nuo also told them to keep the matter strictly confidential.
My father would often see Your Majesty, so if he suddenly became younger, Your Majesty would surely not be able to hide it from him.
If His Majesty abdicates, Li Nuo doesn't mind extending his life by a few decades.
But he is already the strongest person on the continent, and even Li Nuo is no match for him. If he knew that he could extend people's lifespan without using the longevity pill, it would not be a good thing for Li Nuo...
We can only wait until he is able to deal with all accidents, and then give his father more life to make up for it.
Shortly after Li Nuo left the Li Mansion, a figure appeared out of nowhere beside Li Xuanjing.
Emperor Xia took out a transparent glass bottle from his sleeve. The bottle was filled with a deep red liquid. He asked excitedly, "Can Emperor Wei's blood really extend my life for another sixty years?"
Li Xuanjing nodded and said, "With my cultivation level, I cannot refine the Emperor's Blood all at once. I need to refine it in batches, and it will take quite a while..."
Emperor Xia handed him the glass bottle filled with blood essence and said, "Please speed up the refining. I have noticed that time is passing faster on my body..."
Li Xuanjing said: "Your Majesty has the luck of two countries, this is a very normal thing."
Emperor Xia heaved a sigh of relief and said, "I have to hurry up. Chu and Qi also have a share of the debt for invading Daxia. They also have bad intentions. Now, it's time for me to collect the debt from them. I heard that Li Yun has developed some powerful weapons for battle..."
