Outside the imperial mausoleum, the guards stood as tall as stone sculptures, their eyes sharp, and they exuded a stern aura that was even more terrifying than his own imperial guards.
The sound of footsteps echoed at the empty tomb entrance, and I looked up.
All I saw was a row of solemn tombstones, as if the long river of history was flowing slowly before my eyes.
Although their dynasty was established only five hundred years ago, their family history is more than five hundred years.
The Golden Dragon Emperor's control techniques, as well as the exploration, manipulation, and casting of dragon veins, were all formed over countless years and dynasties.
But the situation has changed. Five hundred years ago, the Zhou Dynasty collapsed and the Zhao family came to power.
Emperor Dagan did not stay here for long.
He took a deep breath and stepped into the underground imperial tomb.
Unlike the cold and damp environment imagined, the underground imperial tomb is filled with a powerful dragon aura.
This dragon energy seemed to have life, circling and wandering in the imperial tomb.
The golden dragon veins flickered underground, as if giant dragons were sleeping, emitting a heart-pounding pressure.
This is the foundation of the Dagan royal family. The dragon veins of the thirteen states of Dagan all converge here, which is where the dragon's heart is.
"Greetings, ancestor. Today, the Huns are invading, and the gods have taken action. Please, ancestor, suppress them."
"The Huns?" A questioning voice came from the dragon vein, "Why are they still there?"
Emperor Da Gan explained: “This battle is the battle that will lead to the destruction of the Xiongnu nation.
If we can win this battle, we can bring the Xiongnu into the Dagan territory."
Emperor Da Gan felt a little nervous when he spoke of this. This feeling was not very good, which was why he didn't like coming to this place.
The Xiongnu were extremely difficult to destroy, because even if Dagan had defeated them in the past, it would have been impossible for him to rule the northern desert.
If officials were sent, they would easily rebel, so the Da Gan had no unified idea.
But it’s different now. If the Huns can be tied down economically, they will be completely controlled by Da Gan.
"Northern Desert? The dragon veins are too barren. Well, if possible, let's solve it once and for all." The voice sounded like a dragon's roar.
This old ancestor of Da Gan has completely merged with the dragon vein. He is the dragon vein itself, Da Gan itself.
When Emperor Dagan saw this, there was a hint of envy in his eyes.
The reason why Emperor Da Gan couldn't use the "Golden Dragon Emperor's Control Technique" to break through to the level of heaven and man was, of course, because the Da Gan dragon vein had an owner.
----------------
Then he summoned all officials to hold a court meeting.
In the Dagan court, the Dagan Emperor sat on the dragon throne, wearing a dragon robe and a twelve-tassel crown on his head.
His eyes were like torches as he looked down at all the officials in His Highness's court.
The Minister of War stepped out from the ranks and bowed to report, "Your Majesty, the Xiongnu have recently been harassing our borders with great force and ill intentions.
However, the military and civilians in the north worked together to keep the enemy out of the northern border, but the Huns showed signs of making a comeback.
However, our dynasty is strong and our soldiers are brave. How can we allow foreign enemies to provoke us?
I would like to ask Your Majesty to dispatch elite troops to fight against the Xiongnu, so as to demonstrate the power of our dynasty and defend the integrity of our country."
Upon hearing this, Emperor Dagan nodded slightly, swept his eyes over the officials, and signaled everyone to express their opinions.
The Privy Councilor stepped forward, clasped his hands together, and proposed, "The Duke of Zhenguo has repeatedly defeated foreign attacks. If he participates in this battle, he will surely be able to pacify the Xiongnu."
However, Emperor Dagan would certainly not be satisfied with this answer.
After all, if Duke Xue Da goes on an expedition, it will be troublesome regardless of victory or defeat. What should be done then?
"His Highness the Second Prince is extremely brave and has made great contributions in destroying the Qiang people. He can be the commander-in-chief in this expedition." Another person said in a steady voice.
"General Lu Bu, the Cloud Banner, once destroyed an entire nation single-handedly. He is a true leader."
"General Shan Wei of Guide..."
............
At this time, there was a lot of discussion in the court, and each minister expressed his or her own opinion.
Everyone understood that this battle might be their last battle with the Huns, and it was a real national war.
There are actually only two people who are qualified to be the head coach.
One of them is the Duke of Zhenguo Xue Da, and the other one is of course the second prince.
However, the faction of the eldest prince wanted to help Lu Bu.
The credit for the commander and the generals is huge, even if they win.
Unless Lu Bu can destroy the country alone again, but this is obviously unlikely.
If Lu Bu won as the general, his reputation in the Dagan army would be second only to Xue Da.
The Second Prince's face was firm and his eyes were like torches. He stepped forward, clasped his hands together, and spoke in a loud and firm voice:
"Father, I beg you to fight!
The Xiongnu's invasion of our border is a great threat to our dynasty.
I, your son, am willing to put on armor and go into battle to share my father's worries and eliminate harm for the people.
On the day of my triumphant return, I will present the Xiongnu king's head to my father, the emperor."
As for the third and fourth princes, they did not speak either, as their influence in the army was very weak.
They didn't want to offend the two princes, so of course they wanted the Duke of Zhenguo to go to war.
After all, the Duke of Zhenguo has the highest winning rate, and after winning, the power of the eldest prince and the second prince will not increase sharply.
As for the fact that the Duke of Zhenguo is too powerful to be removed and they have not yet succeeded to the throne, this is a problem that the Emperor should consider, not them.
Just when everyone was arguing over who would take charge.
Xun You, a fourth-rank official and associate member of the Privy Council, stepped forward and suggested:
"Your Majesty, I have a plan. We can divide our troops into two groups, one leading and one supporting, so that they can support each other.
The Second Prince will lead the main route, while General Lu will lead the auxiliary route. The two armies will support each other and jointly resist the Xiongnu."
Upon hearing this, Emperor Dagan's eyes flashed with admiration. He stared at Xun You and nodded.
