In the thirty-first year of Jianning, it was Xu Shi on October 6th.
Purple air came from the east outside the capital, and auspicious clouds could be seen within dozens of miles, accompanied by the cries of fire and phoenixes. When the people saw it, they thought it was a god and fell to the ground to worship.
The next day.
The king of Dan issued an edict: "The purple air coming from the east is auspicious. How can we not take the destiny of Dan? I see that several countries in the north of the Yangtze River are constantly attacking, and the people are suffering from it. They are in panic. Today I am sending troops to march north."
There is no way to obey the will of God at the top, and to save all people at the bottom..."
After this edict, even the dullest people in the country can feel a tense atmosphere. The world that has been peaceful for decades seems to be changing.
The country of Dan has been stable for so long that the countries in the north of the Yangtze River ignored it and did not realize that when it operated, it would actually become a ferocious war machine.
It was December 23rd of that year.
First snow.
The top floor of the Qin family library.
A pot of red charcoal fire was burning in Qin Yangwei's study, and green tea leaves were floating in the purple clay pot beside it.
Looking at the falling snowflakes outside the window, Qin Luo made some calculations in his mind and said with emotion: "In two months, the food, grass, baggage, and soldiers have been prepared. We just have to wait for the next spring to get warmer, and our army will cross the river."
Already."
Qin Yangwei took a sip of tea and asked in a low voice: "Qin Ran, I heard from Shiyue that you didn't seem to be ready to assemble an army for the Northern Expedition. Then, less than half a month later, why did you change your mind and call me to join you?
Planned that spectacle.”
Scenes like the purple air coming from the east and the cries of fire and phoenix were naturally created by the Qin family monks using magic.
certainly.
They can only be viewed from a distance, but there are still big holes if you look closely.
However, it is enough to scare the people and take advantage of the Northern Expedition.
Qin Luo sighed helplessly and said: "The situation has changed, so I have to use the power of the Dan Kingdom's Northern Expedition to cover up some things. Otherwise, if some things are exposed, I'm afraid it will be a big threat to the Qin family."
Two and a half months ago.
News came from An Yin Tower.
The only spy left behind in Yuzhou saw the Dao Alliance monks dispatching.
Those people were trying to find traces of Qin Luo and the others.
It's just that An Yin Tower had already made preparations, and they didn't have much presence in Yuzhou itself, so the people from the Dao League were naturally in vain.
but.
Those people from the Dao League would not just search in Yuzhou. When they could not find Qin Luo and the others in Yuzhou, they would naturally look for him in the surrounding areas.
Jiangzhou is the first to be affected.
If people from Daomeng arrive in Jiangzhou, the airport building will definitely come into their sight that day.
After all, the Jiangbei storyteller has done a lot of telling stories about himself and the Tianji Tower.
What's more, the Tianji Tower is in the open, so it would be easy for the Taoist Alliance to spy on and attack it.
If the Tianji Tower is exposed, the Taoist Alliance can follow the clues to Jiangbei Heyu Hall.
Then the other party will definitely choose to pursue it all the way, and Qin Luo and the Qin family behind him will be in great danger.
On the contrary, An Yin Tower will not be threatened very much.
Because physical skills and immortality cultivation are two aspects, if the strength of An Yin Lou's physical skills is not shown, it will be difficult for the Dao League monks to detect the difference between the assassins of An Yin Lou and ordinary people.
Therefore, Qin Luo made a decisive decision and decided to let Dan State go to the north.
When Jiangbei falls into military chaos, Tianji Tower will be able to take advantage of the chaos and escape.
When the Dan Kingdom's Northern Expedition was successful, the world was initially settled, and the Dao League gave up searching in Jiangzhou, the Tianji Tower was reborn.
This is also the best solution in the face of Dao League raids.
"This is a last resort." Qin Luo looked out the window at the wind and snow, "But it's about time, right?"
He pointed to the pot of charcoal fire and said: "The country of Dan is like this pot of charcoal fire. Its heat makes people warm, but they forget that there is wind and snow outside. It is not a big problem to forget the worries for a moment, but in the long run, the country of Dan will become
It's dangerous.
What's more, Dan Country has been at peace for a long time, and the accumulated strength is at its strongest point. If our generation leaves, will the next generation be at a loss to face the task of the Northern Expedition?
From this point of view, problems that can be solved by our generation should not be left to future generations to solve."
Qin Yangwei clapped his hands and praised: "You are absolutely right, then I will let the monks of the Qin family go to the battlefield as much as possible and fight to a quick conclusion."
"No." Qin Luo shook his head, "Qin family monks cannot be used, not even one. Those who follow the army privately will be expelled."
"This..." Qin Yangwei frowned. He didn't expect Qin Luo to react so fiercely and have such a tough attitude. "If we don't use the monks, the casualty rate of the army will probably increase by one to two percent."
Qin Luo then added: "I will mobilize other forces to help our army. They are definitely no worse than the monks, but the Qin family monks cannot be used at all."
He would rather seek help from An Yin Tower than to have monks in the Dan Kingdom army.
If the monks of the Qin family were discovered by the Taoist Alliance when they went on an expedition, then the country of Dan would probably suffer a catastrophe.
Qin Yangwei said helplessly: "I agree, but can you tell me the reason?"
He knew that what Qin Luo did was definitely for the good of the Qin family.
So even though it was such a seemingly unreasonable request, he still chose to believe it.
Qin Luo hesitated for a moment, but still did not choose to tell the truth, and simply wrote lightly: "After I went to Jiangzhou, I found that the monks outside are not of the same orthodoxy as us. If they find out, they will kill us.
But their interest in the secular world does not seem to be that great, so pure national achievements will not attract their attention, but if there are monks in the army, everything will be different."
"That's it." Qin Yangwei looked at the tea leaves standing quietly at the bottom of the cup. After a moment of silence, he said, "I will hold a clan meeting in early spring and ask all the monks to stay in the capital. You can rest assured."
Qin Luo nodded and said, "Very good."
…
In the spring of the 32nd year of Jianning.
The Qin family summoned all the clansmen in front of the Altar of Sheji, and appointed more than ten people including generals, generals of hussars, and generals of chariots and cavalry, leading a total of 370,000 troops.
Ten days later, the whole country of Dan went out to fight.
Prince Dan personally brought ten altars of royal wine, poured them into the moat, drank with all the soldiers, and promised to give a heavy reward in front of the army.
The reputation of this Northern Expedition was so great that it was the highest in a century.
The summer of the 32nd year of Jianning.
Dan destroyed You. This was the first country to be destroyed in Jiangbei, which shocked Jiangbei.
March.
Danlian defeated the three kingdoms of Feng, Qing and Lan.
The next month, all the countries in the north of the Yangtze River formed an alliance in Jiangdu and sent more than one million troops to attack the Dan country's army.
The winter of the 33rd year of Jianning.
Danguo and the Allied forces in Jiangbei fought in the field. After ten days of fighting, the Allied forces ran out of food and retreated.
At that time, it was raining and snowing, and the snow was the color of blood, blocking the way for the Allied forces in the north of the Yangtze River to retreat.
The leading general of the allied forces lamented: "It has been 300 years since God destroyed our Qi country."
In this battle, more than 400,000 Allied troops in Jiangbei died in battle, freezing, and starvation.
