Chapter 66: War breaks out again

"What?"

Gu Dan noticed that something was wrong with Gong Shangguo and asked first.

"The southern barbarians are attacking again."

Gong Shangguo didn't waste any time and handed over a letter.

Just after the winter of the 36th year of the reign of Emperor Zongming, Daqing deployed its troops on the border, ready to go! Moreover, the annual tribute that should have been paid this year was delayed again and again, and finally showed its fangs at this time.

"Daqing?"

After taking the letter, Gu Dan glanced at it.

The news in the letter said that Daqing had changed its emperor three years ago. How could the new emperor tolerate the humiliation of paying tribute again? He worked hard to govern the country and made reforms to save face.

It was not until this year that the government was finally put in order and troops were deployed again on the border, and even frictions have begun to occur.

"The Mohist School is preparing to intervene in the war?" Gu Dan also frowned.

Gong Shangguo looked like he was going to the battlefield, but what would the three thousand Mohists do in the military formation? Three rangers might be able to defeat three soldiers, but three thousand rangers facing three thousand soldiers would have no choice but to flee for their lives! Even martial arts masters were not stupid enough to charge directly into the military formation! "Not really, I'm the only one who plans to go over there and take a look."

Gong Shangguo shook his head and added: "Since Daqing dares to start a war again, this time it will definitely not be so easy to give up."

"If we want to fight a war, shouldn't Wanshou Palace stop first?" Gu Dan asked after putting away the letter.

Building the Wanshou Palace is definitely a waste of money and manpower. There are already complaints without a war, and if a dual thread is opened, won’t it explode on the spot? "That's why I came to you."

Gong Shangguo smiled bitterly, "Wanshou Palace, I'm afraid it won't stop."

Gu Dan's eyes widened unconsciously, "Don't stop?!"

"The last battle with Daqing may have made people in the court think that Daqing was just a wax figure with a silver spear. Yuzhou even has General Zhang in charge, with 100,000 soldiers and abundant food and grass.

I want General Zhang to extinguish Daqing's first wave of attack and kill it in the cradle so as not to affect the emperor's sixtieth birthday!"

Gong Shangguo clenched his fists and said harshly, "Over the years, those officials have become more and more fat and arrogant, and they even dare to be so perfunctory about the war. Before this, Brother Gu, have you ever heard any news about the war? If someone over there hadn't exchanged letters with me, I wouldn't even know that this happened!"

Dayue is very big, it is not wrong to say that it is rich in resources.

But the vastness of the territory inevitably leads to slow transmission of news. Even Yuzhou requires fifteen days to transmit news back to the imperial capital, not to mention the farthest Yuzhou, which will be even slower!

When the news reached the imperial capital, a real fight might have already started! As the saying goes, a general is not only disobeying orders, but also being helpless!

If there is no news from the court, are we just going to watch the foreigners burn, kill and loot at will in the country?

Since ancient times, the border areas have been far away from the emperor and even have considerable autonomy. This is not because all emperors were fools, but most of them did so out of necessity.

Judging from the time recorded in the letter, it has been more than a month since Daqing provoked the border, but there has been no news of it in the court. It is obvious that it was not that the news was not received, but that it was forcibly suppressed.

Everything must give way to Emperor Zong Ming’s 60th birthday and not detract from the joy.

"If that's the case, what's the point of going there? Can we still supervise General Zhang?"

Gu Dan shook his head slightly and did not agree with his idea.

"I'm worried. I always feel that this is a very dangerous situation. Even ordinary people know that failure is a learning experience. The emperor of Daqing is not a fool. How could he make mistakes one after another? The emperor in the court despises Daqing so much that I can't sleep well."

Gong Shang grasped the silver spear, his eyes flashing coldly as he said, "If it is really impossible, I also know how to avoid it. But the Mo family has just recruited a lot of disciples. If I leave at this time, Brother Mo will probably find it difficult to escape alone.

Brother Gu is free here, so I would like to ask you to keep an eye on Brother Mo. I am not here, and if this matter is confirmed, I am afraid Brother Mo will not be able to hold back."

He couldn't help but say nothing.

Gong Shangguo obviously had not told Mo Qiu about this matter. Gu Dan was silent for a moment and asked, "Then how are you going to explain it to Brother Mo?"

"Just say you're going home to visit your family."

After waving his hand, Gong Shangguo walked out of the door alone, holding his silver spear.

Watching him leave, Gu Dan couldn't help but sigh softly.

The country's emperor was corrupt, officials were violent, and refugees were everywhere. Over the past two hundred years, the original foundation of the country has been completely consumed.

Even if a group of people willing to sacrifice their lives emerge, how can they turn the tide? Without destruction, there is no construction. A dead tree has no vitality.

After calming himself down, Gu Dan picked up the inner breathing technique that Andy Hui had given him.

No matter when, strength is the foundation of survival.

My progress in martial arts has reached the limit known to the world today. Further progress will be extremely difficult and will not be achieved overnight.

The inner breath technique that brought him many surprises was naturally the best choice.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

Failure once does not mean failure every time. How can you know if you don't try? After keeping calm and carefully reading several books on internal breathing techniques several times, Gu Dan began his own experiment.

An hour later, he became more and more skilled and successfully condensed a new internal energy. Before he could react, the internal energy unique to the Qingmu Huasheng Jue rushed up at him immediately.

fail!

Two hours later, failed!

Two and a half hours later. Failure!

Time and time again, the books at hand become thinner and thinner.

When the moon reached its zenith in the sky and its afterglow spread everywhere, only the last book on the art of inner breathing remained, lying quietly beside him.

Looking at the book "Blue Sky Red Flower", Gu Dan muttered to himself: "Green trees blooming red flowers, that makes sense, right? This time the problem shouldn't be too big!"

He deliberately put this book of internal breathing techniques at the end, and its practice philosophy more or less overlaps with "Qingmu Huasheng Jue".

And for the last time, Gu Dan planned to be a little bolder.

After transferring all the remaining internal energy belonging to the Qingmu Huasheng Jue in his body to Cang and helping the little guy to nourish his body, Gu Dan felt that there was no trace of internal energy left in his body, and a smile appeared on his face.

No matter how unhappy you are, why would you destroy the internal energy that I have worked so hard to refine? I closed my eyes and sat cross-legged, concentrating my mind.

Another attempt begins!

Time passed slowly, and when a new internal energy with a distinct chill gathered in the body, the internal energy belonging to the Qingmu Huasheng Jue that should have rushed over immediately stopped moving.

Because Gu Dan had already consumed it all in advance! "Done!"

There was joy in Gu Dan's eyes. Bold ideas have their own advantages!

However, before his smile could fully bloom, his internal organs suddenly felt an excruciating pain, as if a raging dragon was churning inside his body!
