Chapter 2604 Lu suppresses the queen, and the southern country sends troops
Chapter 2600: Lu suppresses the queen, and the southern country sends troops
Even though there was a war at Yangping Pass, and even the Southern Barbarians might send troops, Liu Yu still held the enthronement ceremony as scheduled.
The scale of this enthronement ceremony was very large, no less than when Ying Hao ascended the throne. The whole Chengdu was filled with flags and banners. The only pity was that there were too few invited forces, only the two countries of Chu and Ming. That’s all.
Because of Da Qin's interference, Liu Yu could not invite representatives from other countries to watch the ceremony, so he could only invite some people with huge influence to support his appearance, such as Yan Dan, the great scholar of Chu Dynasty, Meng Ke, the leader of Southern Confucianism, and Xia Kui of the peasant family. Shennong, Zhuang Zhou, the leader of the Taoist clan, Sakyamuni, the Buddha of Mahayana Buddhism, and Zhao Gongming, the great disciple of the Shangqing sect, etc.
In addition, hundreds of great masters including Yin Xi, Lu Chunyang, Xu Xing, Manjusri, Fear Liusun, Mo Zhai, Huang Chengyan, Sima Hui, etc. were also invited to the scene to review the army with Liu Yu on the imperial city.
Among the people invited to watch the ceremony, there were three extremely unexpected people, namely Huang Chengyan, Sima Hui and Shennong.
Huang Chengyan is Zhuge Liang's father-in-law and the master of Qin Mo's great son Jing Tianming.
Sima Hui is the younger brother of contemporary Gui Guzi and the master of Zhuge Liang, the governor of Jizhou in the Qin Dynasty.
Shennong, Fuxi and Xuanyuan are all sworn brothers, and they are also Tian Yan's master.
Everyone present was basically anti-Qin, and only three of them were pro-Qin.
Huang Chengyan and Shen Nong naturally did not want to come, but one of them was the former leader of the Mo family and the other was the current leader of the Nong family. Since Chu Mo and the Nong family accepted the invitation, they naturally had to come.
As for Sima Hui, he was invited here by Su Qin, the Prime Minister of Shu. Although he didn't want to come, he couldn't stand the pleading of his apprentice Pang Tong. In addition, his old friend Huang Chengyan wanted to accompany him, so he came to join in the fun.
The positions of Huang Chengyan, Sima Hui, and Shen Nong were completely different from those of other anti-Qin people, and Dao was different and did not conspire with each other, so they did not communicate too much with other people. Instead, the three of them gathered together to chat among themselves. .
“Two seniors, do you think Daqin will send someone to disrupt Liu Yu’s enthronement ceremony this time?” Shennong asked, but there was a hint of expectation in his heart.
All the top officials of the peasant family defected to the Shu Kingdom, and his leader became a decoration, so he very much wanted to extricate the peasant family from the quagmire of the Shu Han Dynasty.
After Huang Chengyan and Sima Hui looked at each other, Sima Hui shook his head and said with a smile: "Probably not. Liu Yu was thorough this time. He invited as many as three people from the Quasi-Half-step Xuanjing realm, let alone It’s said to be another great master.”
Hearing this, Shennong's heart suddenly sank.
There are three masters who are close to the half-step profound realm?
Besides the Queen and Sakyamuni, who is the third person? It can’t be Zhuang Zhou.
Shennong felt that Zhuang Zhou was unlikely to break through to the Quasi-Half-step Mysterious Realm, and the third person should most likely be Mo Zhai of the Mohist family.
If there are really three quasi-half-step Xuanjing masters present, unless Great Qin can invite any three of the four Taoists Yuqing and Shangqing, the Yin-Yang Emperor Taiyi, and Yinglong, how many great masters will there be? doesn't mean much.
After all, Xuanjing and Grandmaster are not at the same level of power.
Yinglong will definitely take action for Da Qin, but it is hard to say for Yuqing and Shangqing. After all, there are many Taoists invited.
When Ying Hao is in danger, Yuqing and Shangqing will help, but it is unlikely to take the initiative to help Daqin and suppress Taoism and Baijia forces.
As for Donghuang Taiyi?
The Yin Yang family and Da Qin are deeply tied. Tai Yi also took the initiative to help Da Qin deal with Japanese Shintoism, so he does not have so many worries. If it were an ordinary force, he would most likely take action.
But this time it was different. Among the guests invited by Shu Han, there was also Lu Ya, a traitor to the Yin and Yang family.
Who is Lu Ya? He is the son of Lu Jun, the leader of the Yin Yang family before Tai Yi.
Lu Jun and Taiyi are not only brothers, but also senior brothers.
Taiyi’s surname was Lu, and Taiyi was his Taoist name. He was known as the Eastern Emperor, while Lu Jun was known as the ‘Western Emperor’. The two brothers were collectively called the ‘Western Emperor and the Eastern Emperor’ by the world.
It was only later that Lu Jun died at the hands of Taiqing to protect Taiyi, and then Taiyi became the new leader of the Yin and Yang family.
Taiyi felt guilty for the death of his eldest brother Lu Jun, so he naturally doted on his nephew Lu Ya to the extreme, and this also developed Lu Ya's self-centered character.
As the son of Lu Jun, and with the support of Taiyi, it stands to reason that Lu Ya should be the next leader of the Yin and Yang family, but it is inevitable that Fu Xi will appear halfway.
Fu Xi is a tolerant and refined man, not as domineering and paranoid as Lu Ya. After breaking through the Grand Master first, Lu Ya won the support of most people in the Yin Yang family, and finally stepped on Lu Ya and became the new leader.
In Lu Ya's heart, his father is the leader and his uncle is also the leader. Fuxi is just an outsider, so why should he compete with him? So the leader must be himself.
But in the end, the new leader of the Yin and Yang family was Fuxi.
Lu Ya could not accept his failure, and out of jealousy and resentment, he directly defected from the Yin Yang family and established his own Sun Sect to specifically oppose Fu Xi.
With Taiyi's relationship, the Yin and Yang family naturally did not deal with Lu Ya, but Lu Ya became more arrogant and complacent.
Now it is even more clear that the Yin Yang family is siding with Da Qin, but Lu Ya dares to blatantly side with Shu Han. He simply doesn't know how to write the word "death".
Looking at Lu Ya, who was chatting and laughing among the crowd with a smile on his face, Shen Nong knew that he should have been on Shu Han's side.
With Lu Ya in Chengdu, not only might Taiyi not take action, but he might also do bad things. After all, he couldn't watch his only nephew die.
Yuqing, Shangqing, and Taiyi don't take action. If there is only one Yinglong left, even if they take action, it will be useless. After all, the three quasi-half-step profound realms on Shuhan's side are not just for nothing.
"Pity."
Shennong sighed in his heart, but then he realized, how did Sima Hui know about such a confidential matter?
Shennong looked at Sima Hui suspiciously, but Sima Hui just smiled and said nothing.
Shennong knew it clearly, and it must have been revealed by Su Qin, the Prime Minister of Shu.
Su Qin wanted to use Sima Hui's relationship to reveal the news to Da Qin, so that Da Qin could retreat in spite of the difficulties.
With the current number of strong men in Chengdu, they are not afraid even if the Qin invades. However, on such an important occasion as the enthronement ceremony, the Shu Han definitely does not want the Qin to cause trouble.
Of course, it is also possible that Su Qin did it deliberately and set a trap in advance to lure the masters of Great Qin to jump into it.
While Shennong was thinking about it, Huang Chengyan patted him on the shoulder and said seriously: "Shen Nong, Taoism, Confucianism, Mohism, and Buddhism have all been divided. No matter who will rule the world in the future, at least Taoism will be unbroken. But your farmer is here in Shuhan Hanged from a tree, the possibility of Shu wanting to dominate the world is too low.
Have you ever thought about it? If the country of Shu is not unified in the future, what will happen to the peasant family? "
Of course Shen Nong had thought about this, and had planned to split the peasant family, but Liu Yu's method of winning people over was too clever.
The farmhouse from the elder to the elder, to ordinary disciples, all of them died of Liu Yu and Shu State. Instead, his head was a decoration.
In this case, if Shennong alone ran away without many peasant disciples following him, it would not achieve the purpose of dividing the peasant family.
It is precisely because of this that Shennong will continue to stay in the farmhouse. After all, he cannot watch the farmhouse that has been passed down for thousands of years and gave birth to him and raised him, be wiped out by Tian Guang, Chen Sheng and others.
Shennong was observing Lu Ya, and Lu Ya was also observing Shennong. After all, Shennong was the sworn brother of his mortal enemy Fuxi. If he could kill Shennong, Fuxi would definitely be sad for a long time, so Lu Ya looked at Shennong with eyes full of Killing intent.
Shen Nong noticed Lu Ya's murderous intention, and a sneer suddenly flashed in his eyes. How dare a half-step grand master show his murderous intention towards him? It’s just a matter of life and death.
Shennong was not Fuxi, so he was naturally not used to Lu Ya. With a grandmaster level momentum and murderous intent, he pressed on Lu Ya without any reservations. The two of them actually fought through the air with their momentum.
"Huh?"
Jian Lu can't even reach the level of a grand master, but in the duel of momentum, he is no weaker than his own grand master. Even Shen Nong's eyes showed a difference.
“It’s really not that easy for Lu Ya to compete with Brother Fuxi for the top spot. Even if he hasn’t broken through the Grand Master yet, his strength has already surpassed most of the Grand Masters.” Shen Nong thought to himself.
Just when Shen Nong and Lu Ya were dueling with each other in aura, a white-haired old man with an immortal spirit slowly walked into the aura of the two people and waved his hand to see the two people's hind legs being shocked at the same time.
After Shennong took five steps back, colleagues Huang Chengyan and Sima Hui appeared behind him and put their hands on his shoulders respectively, which stopped the impact just now.
As for Lu Ya, the old man had intended to hold back, so he only retreated for a walk and then stopped on his own.
Lu Ya was naturally furious about this, but when he saw the old man's appearance, the anger on his face suddenly disappeared, and he said respectfully: "Senior Houqing."
The old man is the Queen of the Han Dynasty Guardian who is the same as Zhulong, and he is also the grandfather of the world-famous Arrow God Houyi.
After Hou Qing nodded to Lu Ya, he said to Shennong and the others: "Junior, don't cause trouble."
Having said that, regardless of Shennong’s reaction, he turned around and left.
Looking at Hou Qing's leaving figure, Shen Nong snorted with an unkind expression, and said with an unhappy expression: "It's just relying on my age, what's the point of being arrogant? I will definitely be stronger than him in twenty years."
“I’m afraid that old guy will die of old age in twenty years.” Huang Chengyan said with a faint smile.
Shennong: “…”
After Hou Qing settled the conflict between Shen Nong and Lu Ya, Su Qin, the Prime Minister of Shu, and Wang Yue, who was in charge of Da She He, came together.
After seeing the visitor, Hou Qing immediately understood the purpose of his visit and asked, "Are you all ready?"
"Ready."
Wang Yue nodded, and then said: "The twenty-four fields of the farm are indeed mysterious. No wonder even people like Taiqing Taoist are obsessed with it.
It’s okay if Da Qin doesn’t come to cause trouble this time. If it comes, Da Qin will definitely suffer a big loss. "
The Qin Dynasty has twenty-four lands, but how could it be possible that the Shu Kingdom, which has obtained the services of farmers, does not have it?
The reason why Su Qin invited Sima Hui and deliberately revealed the news to him was because he really wanted Da Qin to retreat in the face of difficulties. Of course, nothing would happen if Da Qin didn't come.
But if the Qin Dynasty knew this but still dared to come, then the Shu Han would naturally have no way out. Even if it cost 800 yuan, it would still use the twenty-four lands to annihilate all the intruders.
Shu Han and Sui Dynasties could not directly gather twenty-four grand masters to form a formation like the Qin Dynasty did with the Tai Qing Dynasty. However, if Xing Tian, Kong Peng, Lu Ya and others could fill in the formation, the effect would not be much worse than that of all the grand masters.
Da Qin can rely on Dize Twenty-Four, who is not a full-member grand master version, and can kill Zhulong, the grand master, without killing one person. Then Shu Han can naturally kill Yinglong.
I have to say that Su Qin, the Prime Minister of Shu, is quite qualified. Not only did he manage the court of Shu in an orderly manner, but even hundreds of families and rivers and lakes were obedient under his vertical and horizontal skills.
Among the hundreds of families, the Zongheng family has the smallest number, but it is true that everyone has the talent to control the world.
————————
Just when Liu Yu was holding a ceremony to declare himself emperor in Chengdu, Chi You, who was far away in Nanzhong, also received news that the Qin army had stormed Yangping Pass.
As soon as this news came out, everyone in the Southern Kingdom was excited. After all, with Da Qin attracting firepower in Hanzhong and attracting most of the Shu army, the Southern Army would naturally have greater confidence in seizing southern Shu.
Gonggong couldn't wait to say: "Lord, what are you waiting for? Send troops quickly."
Chi You smiled and said, "Don't worry, it won't be too late to send troops when the Shu army in the middle of Shu moves north.
Liu Yu should be grateful to the king. It is because of the king's mercy that he can safely proclaim himself emperor. "
Two days later, news came from Chengdu that Da Qin did not send anyone to cause trouble, and Liu Yucai immediately sent more troops to Hanzhong County as soon as he proclaimed himself emperor. Now there are not many mobile troops in Shuzhong.
Chi You laughed when he heard the news. He waved his hand and said directly: "I am sending an order from the king to send out 150,000 troops to attack the Shu Han."
In this way, as soon as Liu Yucai proclaimed himself emperor, he attracted a north-south attack from the Qin Dynasty and the Southern Barbarians.
The Qin Dynasty's 100,000-strong army attacked Yangping Pass in Hanzhong, while the Nanman army's 150,000-strong army attacked southern Shu.
Unlike the Qin Dynasty, which was blocked by Yangping Pass, the Nanman offensive was extremely rapid.
The defenses built by the Shu Han in southern Shu cannot be said to be completely useless, it can only be said that their effect is not that great.
Chi You personally led an army to attack in a fierce attack. It took only four days to capture the five counties of Jianning. It was an overwhelming force and frightened the Shu Han court.
