Chapter 142 Seven Days! Seven Cities Conquered!
Wu Ziping was originally trying to escape with Shui Rong when he saw the large army below.

Li Xilong and the other two who were far away were overjoyed.

He shouted loudly.

“General Xilong, prepare to fight the enemy!”

As he spoke, he flew directly past Li Xilong and the other two and headed deep into the heart of North Korea.

Li Xilong was bewildered as he watched Wu Ziping and the high priest Shui Rong walking away.

Ready for battle?

Meet the enemy?

Isn’t he here to greet me?
I haven’t figured out what’s going on yet.

“Roar!”

In the distant sky, tigers roar and dragons roar!
A huge demonic cloud flew over, and above the clouds, the blood dragon’s hundred-foot-long body was extremely eye-catching.

The terrifying power of the Fourth Realm swept across the sky.

Just one look made Li Xilong feel a tightness in his chest and a sense of shortness of breath.

“Ow!”

At this moment, Baochai, who was riding with Jia Cong, also jumped up.

Transform into a real dragon.

The blood dragon attacked from the left and right.

It was not until then that Li Xilong came to his senses.

What the hell!
How could Prince Beijing Shui Rong come to greet me?

Who would come out to greet us with pursuers?
It was obvious that he was being chased all the way here.

“withdraw!”

“Get out!”

Being stared at by Xue Jiao and Bao Chai, two fourth-level masters, Li Xilong felt as if the whole world had frozen.

He circulated his true energy and let out a shrill cry.

The North Korean soldiers below were already trembling under the dragon’s might.

Before Li Xilong opened his mouth, the formation had already been broken up and some people started to run away.

Now give the order.

The retreat suddenly turned into a rout.

“shoot!”

Above the demonic cloud, Hou Jingyun seized the opportunity and ordered eight hundred elite cavalrymen to take out the bows and arrows they had prepared in advance.

The fleeing North Korean soldiers below were in a mess like ants.

No special training is required.

Just bend the bow with brute force!
Archery!

The scattered rain of arrows was undoubtedly a further blow to the North Korean soldiers below.

No one knows whose head the fatal arrow will fall on in the next second.

gradually.

Trampling and infighting inevitably occurred.

As the three quivers were shot into the air, the North Korean soldiers below completely scattered in all directions.

The eyes of the eight hundred elite cavalrymen were almost bloodshot.

This is exactly the symptom of practicing “Bloodthirsty Art”.

He used the power of a great demon to transform into a demon cloud to hold up eight hundred elite soldiers.

This time, Jia Cong not only wants revenge!
I have to take this opportunity.

Train these eight hundred elite soldiers who followed us all the way from Jiangnan to Shandong and then to Liaodong.

As the obvious “trump card”!
……

an hour later

The hunt continues.

The 100,000-strong army has been completely defeated.

Only Li Xilong was left, and he frantically overdrawn his potential, inspiring three great Confucian cultural treasures.

Barely hanging behind Wu Ziping and the high priest.

At this time, the first city in North Korea is adjacent to Daqian!
Dingzhou City!
It’s all right before your eyes!

“Quick, prepare for battle!”

“Support this general!”

Wu Ziping and the high priest are fine, they are masters of the fourth realm.

The magic power and true energy are strong.

Li Xilong was indeed approaching the end of his life.

Turning gray due to massive overdraft of potential.

Even if he could escape this time, not only would his strength fall below the third level, but his life span would only be three to five years at most.

The moment you see the city wall.

It’s like grabbing a life-saving straw.

He forced himself to summon up a bit of his true energy and shouted.

The words just fell.

The defenders on the Dingzhou city wall had not yet reacted.

A precious seal fell from the sky!

Like a mountain.

“boom!”

After a period of earthquake.

The entire city gate tower, along with a section of the city wall that was several dozen meters long, was directly destroyed by the Shinto seal.

“puff!”

The hope that was just around the corner was shattered, and Li Xilong spat out a mouthful of blood.

He was completely devastated and could no longer maintain his martial arts will.

Falling from a height.

A group of evil clouds just flew over our heads.

Above the evil cloud, a blood dragon was hovering, and Jia Cong had an indifferent expression.

The scenes since the military expedition flashed before Li Xilong’s eyes like fleeting glimpses.

After all, he is one of the most powerful figures in the North Korean military.

An innate existence in martial arts.

Those who were being chased before had no time to react.

Now he has completely lost the desire to make a living and looks at Jia Cong who is doing things with ease.

Think about the Dingzhou city wall that was just destroyed, and the one behind Dingzhou city…

Li Xilong suddenly understood!
It’s not impossible to catch up!

You can also say it’s a cat playing with mouse!

You can also say it’s following the clues!

From the very beginning, Jia Cong had been taking revenge on North Korea under the pretext of hunting down Shui Rong!
But it was too late when I realized it now.

He fell from a height of one hundred meters and lost the protection of his true energy.

After a while, a puddle of mud appeared on the ground.

Above Dingzhou City!
Jia Cong attacked repeatedly, blasting a gap of several tens of meters on each of the four city walls.

The blood dragon was not idle either, spewing a strange blood flame into the garrison in the city.

The garrison and its officials were reduced to ashes in an instant.

“continue!”

After doing all this, Jia Cong patted the white tiger under his seat.

The evil cloud continued to move away.

Chased after Wu Ziping.

Only the frightened soldiers and civilians were left in Dingzhou, looking at the ruined city at a loss as to what to do.

……

Shenjing City

imperial study room

It has been almost ten days since Jia Cong went to Liaodong to quell the rebellion and then led eight hundred elite cavalrymen to invade Korea.

But no news came yet.

Emperor Shunde couldn’t hold back his anger.

In the court, he hinted to a minister to propose using military force against North Korea.

Not wanting to provoke unanimous opposition from a group of civil officials, the five elders of the cabinet and the ministers of the six ministries came to the imperial study together after the court session.

Lord Wei quoted from classics and spoke eloquently.

“Your Majesty, the ancients said: The people of a country cannot be bound by its borders, a country cannot be secured by its mountains and rivers, and the world cannot be intimidated by its weapons!”

“What you should be careful about: coordination, war, and illness.”

“Since the reign of Emperor Taizu, Korea has been a vassal state of our Daqian.”

“As the suzerain state, how can we rashly attack?”

“I think this is against benevolence and righteousness!”

……

“Lord Wei, do you mean that I want to abandon Jia Cong?”

Upon hearing this, Emperor Shunde looked displeased.

“Your Majesty, as a king, you should put the country and the people first, not personal feelings!” Lord Dong took over the conversation.

This debate seems to be about whether to send troops to North Korea.

In fact, it was a dispute between civil and military officials in the court.

It would have been fine to suppress the rebellion in Shandong, but the incident happened suddenly and the civil officials group had no time to react.

But if Jia Cong were allowed to lead troops to conquer Korea and expand the territory.

This will inevitably break the trend of using civil power to control military power that has finally emerged in the court.

What is damaged is the interests of the entire civil service group.

So no matter which faction it comes from, on this matter.

The civil servants were unusually unanimous in their opinions.

“Marquis Jing’an quelled the rebellion in Shandong and the rebellion in Liaodong!”

“He has made great contributions to the court. Now, he has gone alone to Korea to hunt down the rebels. How can this be confused with personal feelings?”

Emperor Shunde flicked his sleeves.

It can be seen at this time that even after ascending the throne for five years.

The prestige of Emperor Shunde was still far inferior to that of the retired emperor.

During the Kaiyuan period in the past, the retired emperor launched several northern expeditions, but all his decisions were made with just a word!

Civil and military ministers each perform their duties and there is no need to seek anyone’s opinion.

“Your Majesty, wars between nations are not personal fights.”

“Weapons are dangerous tools; fighting is against morality. The Liaodong Peninsula is a bitter and cold place!”

“In the past, Emperor Yang of Sui conquered Goguryeo three times, and Emperor Taizong of Tang also conquered Goguryeo three times, but each time they ended in failure, wasting manpower and money, and causing countless casualties.”

“It may even lead to the downfall of the Sui Dynasty. I hope Your Majesty will be cautious!”
