Use a substitute on your wedding night to scatter the ashes of your entire family

So, he once again led an army of 300,000 to launch a full-scale counterattack against Zhao State, advancing towards the capital of Zhao State one city after another. In less than two years, he incorporated the entire Zhao State into the territory of Daliang.

After that, Xia State and Northern Qi overestimated their own strength and formed an alliance, raising an army of 600,000 and simultaneously invading several cities bordering Daliang. He, Uncle Ou, and his second cousin Gu Xingsheng took the opportunity to fight back, and it took about four years to incorporate Xia State and Northern Qi into the territory of Daliang.

Someone suggested to his elder brother that he should take advantage of the victory to conquer Northern Jin. His elder brother asked him what he thought. He always felt that something was missed in Northern Jin, which made him unable to make up his mind.

Just half a year after he returned to Sijiu City, Yang Luo prepared an antidote. After taking it, he recovered the missing twenty-one years of memory and finally remembered that there was a girl named Wanwan in Northern Jin.

No wonder he was always unwilling to use military force against Northern Jin.

However, half a month later, the messenger he sent brought news that the Queen of Northern Jin, Li Shuangwan, had already been burned to death in the cold palace by the Emperor of Northern Jin, Ling Heng, and the entire General's Mansion had been ransacked and slaughtered for "collaborating with the enemy and treason."

By that time, his elder brother had died of poisoning and he had ascended the throne as emperor.

He was furious, and immediately mobilized 600,000 soldiers, the entire country, and led the army personally. In less than a month, Half of Northern Jin was destroyed.

However, he could not wait for the day of peace. After the remnants of the Chen family saw that he was not right after he returned from Northern Jin, they secretly raised an army and raised their knives against him.

Two lifetimes and half a life were what he asked for for Wanwan in Northern Jin. After returning to Daliang, his life was already in countdown.

Gu Xingcheng's face showed a sad expression. He closed his eyes deeply and was about to nod and agree to General Liang's request when he heard Gu Xingyuan smile faintly and said, "Your Majesty, since my ninth brother wants to be the commander-in-chief so much, why don't you give him a chance? Maybe my ninth brother is born to be a general."

"However, the lives of our Daliang soldiers are precious. Since my ninth brother is so impatient, we cannot let them die in vain, my royal brother."

Gu Xingyuan looked at the man sitting high on the dragon throne, with a playful and provocative look in his eyes, "I suggest that you issue a military order. If you cannot drive the Ava army out of Daliang, he will die as a token of apology."

After that, he turned to Gu Xingyan and said, "Ninth brother, do you dare?"

Gu Xingyan smiled faintly: "So in Third Brother's eyes, the lives of hundreds of thousands of soldiers can be used as gambling money."

"Oh, it turns out that Third Brother misunderstood you. That's right, after all, Ninth Brother didn't grow up in Daliang, let alone live in the Forty-Nine City, so it's understandable that he doesn't dare to issue a military order. It seems that his request to be the commander just now was just..."

Before Gu Xingyuan could finish, Gu Xingyan said, "Brother, I am sure that I can drive out the Ava army, but the lives of hundreds of thousands of soldiers in Daliang are not a joke and cannot be used as gambling chips. I can only say that if Daliang is defeated, I will not be able to return to Sijiu City. I hope that you will allow me."

He glanced at Gu Xingyuan with eyes as sharp as a knife.

Gu Xingyuan broke out in a cold sweat at the back of his head after being looked at.

Gu Xingcheng looked at his younger brother. He knew that if he didn't agree, he would be forced to sign a military order in court, which would really be what Gu Xingyuan wanted.

When he first ascended the throne, the anti-Chen faction in the court had not yet been eliminated, and the twenty-four guard battalions guarding the 49-city area were still in the hands of Chen Tinghua.

But as Xiaojiu said, the lives of hundreds of thousands of soldiers in Daliang are not a joke and cannot be used as gambling chips, let alone Xiaojiu's life.

He was a little bit difficult to decide for a moment.

At this moment, Ou Jianglin said: "Your Majesty, I think His Highness the Ninth Prince can do it."

Although he didn't know why the Ninth Prince was so confident, he had been with him for more than two months and had some understanding of him. The Ninth Prince was a man of wisdom and strategy who was superior to many others, and he always thought a hundred steps ahead. The fact that he was standing here today and asking the Emperor for the position of commander-in-chief meant that he must be completely confident.

Duke Shu also nodded and said, "Your Majesty, I also think that His Highness the Ninth Prince can do it."

Several ministers came out one after another and expressed that the Ninth Prince was capable of taking on this important task.

Gu Xingcheng stood up slowly and gave the order in a loud voice: "Draft an imperial decree. Order Zhenzhou, Beizhou, and Wuzhou to each dispatch 80,000 troops, and the 24th Guard Battalion to dispatch 60,000 troops to form a combined 300,000 troops, to form the Canglang Army, with Gu Xingyan as the commander of the Canglang Army."

"After receiving the decree, the 80,000 troops from Zhenzhou, Beizhou, and Wuzhou will immediately set out for Rangcheng. The 60,000 troops from the 24th Guard Battalion will be handed over to Gu Xingyan. The army will set out early tomorrow morning to recapture Rangcheng and drive Zhaoguo's Ava army out of Daliang."

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

Chen Tinghua said anxiously: "Your Majesty, there are only 140,000 soldiers left in the 24th Guards. If another 60,000 are withdrawn, if Xia, Northern Qi, and Northern Jin invade, 80,000 people will not be able to defend the 49 cities."

Gu Xingcheng said coldly: "This is an imperial decree. General Chen, are you going to disobey it?"

"I dare not, old minister."

Three identical imperial edicts, sent urgently over 800 miles, were delivered to Zhenzhou, Beizhou and Wuzhou before the morning court session ended.

At the same time, another imperial edict was delivered to Chen Tinghua, and he assembled the 60,000 troops within one day and handed them over to Gu Xingyan.

At this time, Li Shuangwan and Master Sanqing finally arrived at Moushan at 15:30 on the same day.

The moment she climbed to the top of the mountain, Li Shuangwan fell backwards to the ground, gasping for breath. She was unable to walk at all.

Master Sanqing stroked his white beard, squatted in front of her, and said with a chuckle: "Is this not enough?"

"Master, now, now can you tell me how Gu Xingyan..."

"Hey." Master Sanqing interrupted her again, "I promised His Majesty the Ninth Prince that I can't tell you about this. I can't tell you."

Finally getting a definite answer, she got up quickly and sat down with her legs bent: "Then Master, I won't ask you about this matter. You just need to tell me how I can find the remaining two medicines to cure the poison of the secret guard in his body."

"Oh, so you've found two of the four flowers?"

"Well, you are good at fortune-telling, aren't you? We have already found the Azure Sea Gentian and the Purple Mist Magic Orchid, but we still have no clues about the Blue Moon Spiritual Sophora japonica and the Netherworld Ghost Sunflower."

Master Sanqing smiled slightly and pointed at Shu Wenbo and Hong Shuang who were running towards them: "Look, someone has brought you a message."

Shu Wenbo rushed to Li Shuangwan. When he saw the half-human, half-ghost girl in front of him, the seven-foot-tall man's eyes turned red: "Little sister, how are you?"

"Brother, Sister Hongshuang, I'm fine. It's just that I'm a little, a little tired..." Before he could finish his words, he fainted.

Shu Wenbo picked up Li Shuangwan and walked towards the meditation room. Halfway there, he turned around and said, "Old monk, I am not done with you on this matter!"

Master Sanqing stroked his long beard and smiled, "Young man, this is the calamity she deserves to go through."

"Bullshit robbery!"
