Everything was going according to Tang Jiu's plan.
After the Great Song Empire obtained the territory of the Yan Country, they did not adopt the appeasement policy of the Great Zhou Empire. Instead, they implemented the military policy to oppress the people of the former Yan Country.
Therefore, in the three years after the Great Song Dynasty took over the territory of the Yan Country, there were more than 300 rebellions of all sizes.
Therefore, after five years of the Great Song Dynasty's rule, the Yan Country's uprising army recovered the country, and the Great Song Dynasty was forced to withdraw from the Yan Country.
However, after all these years of suffering, both the Great Song and the Great Yan Dynasty had been greatly weakened.
Especially the Yan Country. In the end, they had no choice but to rely on the Great Zhou Empire, which had once allied with the Great Song Empire to destroy the country.
For a time, the continent was in constant conflict, and small countries rose everywhere.
This year, the Great Zhou Empire set their sights on the Deng Kingdom in the east. It occupied the most fertile land and the emperor was also the founding emperor. There were many capable people under him.
Thus, the two countries confronted each other for twenty years.
After another two years, Tang Jiu personally went to the front lines. The Great Zhou Empire's million strong army pointed their swords at the Deng Country.
Chen Xiaozhi led the Dragon Rise Army to attack the natural barrier of the Deng Country and broke through it in one fell swoop. From then on, the gates of the Deng Country were wide open and the Great Zhou Empire's army marched in.
The two armies had been fighting for two years.
In the end, they fell for Tang Jiu's trick of playing hard to get, and the 350,000 soldiers of the Deng Kingdom were trapped in the Land of White Horse.
However, just as Tang Jiu was preparing to annex the main force of the Deng Kingdom, the distant Great Tang suddenly sent out a hundred thousand elite soldiers to resolve the disaster of the destruction of the Deng Kingdom.
The commander of the Tang army was none other than Liu Xing.
The main force of the Deng Kingdom hastily retreated under the cover of the Great Tang elite soldiers.
In the White Horse Mountain Range, Tang Jiu stood in front of the army and looked over.
The mountain wind blew past the canyon and blew towards them.
Liu Xing seemed to feel the pair of burning eyes. The two of them looked at each other across the canyon and couldn't help but sigh.
They had not seen each other for decades, but their appearances had not changed at all.
Hence, three years later, the matter of Song Changling secretly cultivating was discovered by the Patriarchs of the three religions.
On that day, a dozen cultivators flew over on their flying swords.
Under everyone's watchful eyes, he had cut off Song Changling's Longevity Bridge.
From then on, Song Changling's body rapidly collapsed and he was unable to recover. In just a year's time.
Two urgent secret orders called Tang Jiu back from the front line.
"Pfft…"
"Cough cough cough…"
At this moment, in the depths of the Imperial Palace, violent coughs sounded as if they were about to cough out internal organs.
The palace maids, eunuchs, and ministers of the Great Zhou Empire knelt on the ground in fear.
A figure hurried over and entered the Emperor's bedroom as if there was no one there. No one dared to stop him.
He didn't even need to inform anyone and walked straight through the hall into the Emperor's bedroom.
"S-Sir…"
On the dragon bed, Song Changling's head was full of white hair, and his eyes were deeply sunken. He was already an old man, and the change in his appearance surprised Tang Jiu.
It seemed that he already knew that he was not far from death.
Song Changling slowly stretched out his hand. The veins on his arm were like brown earthworms." S-Sir, I'm afraid I don't have long to live. I can only accompany you until now."”
Tang Jiu was slightly taken aback. He reached out and held Song Changling's hand.
He knew that Song Changling still had many things to say and do.
However, at the next moment, Song Changling's hand suddenly lost its strength. The last glimmer of light in his eyes dissipated. When Song Changling passed away, his eyes seemed to be burning with flames. He seemed to have seen the Great Zhou Empire unifying the six states…
"Right now, other than the Great Zhou Empire, there are six other countries occupying the Central Zhou Empire. Years of war have been going on, and the people are on fire. There are demons in the north, and the barbarians in the south. The status of the human race is in danger.”
"I want to unify the world!"
At this moment, Tang Jiu seemed to see the scene of Song Changling talking while leading a white horse.
In the starry sky, he told her about his life dream.
But how could there be so many perfect stories in the world?
The beginning was good, but the ending was also good?
"Lord, have a safe journey!" Tang Jiu held Song Changling's warm hand tightly and said in a grave tone," Leave the rest to me!”
The seventh emperor of the Great Zhou Empire, Song Changling, passed away in this snowy winter.
He brought his long-cherished wish of unifying the world to another world.
His life was magnificent, but there were only a few strokes in history.
Crown Prince Song Yu ascended the throne and became the eighth Emperor of the Great Zhou Empire.
Six years after Song Changling's death, Tang Jiu once again attacked Deng.
The entire Deng Country had gathered 800,000 soldiers to fight against the Great Zhou Army in the area around the capital.
The Deng Country's commander, Zou Jiang, was guarding the city and not coming out. At the same time, he sent dozens of small teams to harass the Great Zhou Imperial Family's food supply.
Two years later, Tang Jiu counted with his fingers. It rained heavily like a divine weapon.
With the help of the weather and geography, Tang Jiu led his men to build a waterway and bring water into the city. In the end, the Deng army was flooded.
Zou Jiang was defeated, and at the same time, the land of Luoyang was flooded.
It caused three million people to be affected, more than one million people to be displaced, and 800,000 people to die.
The disaster victims were displaced and their situation was miserable.
Tang Jiu felt guilty because he was a cultivator himself. Most of the cultivators who could do such a thing in history would not live long.
If you kill too many people and cause too much karma, you will suffer the wrath of heaven. The Heavenly Dao will not tolerate you.
This was also the reason why many cultivators chose to enter seclusion and not participate in the affairs of the mortal world.
This was because once a cultivator's cultivation reached a certain level, they would be even more unwilling to participate in the disputes between countries.
If he was not careful, he would be affected by karma. If it was light, his cultivation would be damaged, and if it was serious, he would die.
There were many such examples.
More than three hundred years ago, there was a cultivator of the Great Vehicle Stage who single-handedly blocked a million troops in order to protect his country from war.
After that battle, he knew that he had committed a grave sin. His cultivation had regressed, and his lifespan had decreased drastically.
In the end, he died 50 years later.
If not for that battle, he would definitely have had a chance to transcend the tribulation and ascend…
In this battle, Tang Jiu had caused many deaths. Some cultivators who had seen through the heavenly secrets had speculated that Tang Jiu's lifespan would definitely not exceed five years.
It was also because of this battle that Tang Jiu gained a new title, the God of Killing.
After this battle, the Deng Kingdom was unable to recover and was destroyed by the Great Zhou Empire eight years later.
From then on, the only one in the entire Central Plains that could contend with the Great Zhou Empire was the Great Tang.
As for the Great Tang, it would be the Great Zhou Empire's final opponent to unify the world. As long as the Great Tang was wealthy, the small countries that were under the Great Tang's control would be like fish in a pond.
From then on, there was only one country in the Central Plains.
Five years later, Tang Jiu did not die like the cultivator who had seen through the sky had expected. Instead, he had used the Great Zhou's Long Qi to increase his cultivation and had already become a Refined Void Martial Stage cultivator.
The cultivator was very puzzled. He found his master, who had been in seclusion for hundreds of years, and asked him to open the bet. In the end, he concluded that Tang Jiu was not in the Six Dao and was not affected by karma.
He was shocked. There was actually such a god in the world.
Four years later.
Chen Xiaozhi led the Dragon Rise Army to attack the southern part of the Great Tang Empire and took three cities. Thus, the battle between the Great Zhou Empire and the Great Tang Empire began.
The two sides began an intense battle in Runan.
Because of Liu Xing's plot, the Great Zhou Emperor, Song Yu, believed in the slanderous words and hurriedly summoned Tang Jiu back to the court.
As a result, the Great Zhou army lost their leader. In February, the Great Zhou army was ambushed by the Tang army.
In March, Liu Xing led the Tang army to conquer several camps, forcing the Great Zhou army to retreat.
At the end of March, the Great Zhou's defeat was a foregone conclusion.
At the beginning of May, Liu Xing stood at the border and let out a sigh.
Although she had won the war, she was not happy at all.
This was because the Great Zhou Empire occupied 70% of the Central Plains. Whether it was in terms of population, land, or other resources, the Great Zhou Empire was dozens of times stronger than the Great Tang.
It could be said that the Great Zhou Empire could fail countless times, but the Great Tang could not fail even once.
At this moment, a messenger pigeon flew over. Liu Xing took the letter and her expression changed.
