The Great Han Celestial Dynasty.
The Imperial Affairs Office in Chang'an City.
"Your Majesty, this is an alliance decree from Emperor Dà Yǔ."
After leaving the Dà Yǔ Celestial Dynasty, Jia Xu, who carried Emperor Dà Yǔ's decree, hurried to Chang'an City. He respectfully presented the decree with both hands and stood by.
"For eighty years, the Dà Yǔ Celestial Dynasty's foundation has been in decline. Now they are at loggerheads with the Purple Lightning Sect. In this precarious region, the situation has been changing rapidly."
Fang Xuanling smiled slightly. Jia Xu's contributions in this regard were indeed significant. On one hand, he continuously weakened the Dà Yǔ Celestial Dynasty's national strength. On the other hand, he bypassed the Great Han and dragged the Purple Lightning Sect into the vortex, like a clam and a snipe fighting, with a fisherman benefiting.
"Emperor Dà Yǔ wishes to form an alliance with our Great Han to jointly resist the Purple Lightning Sect. What do my beloved ministers think?" After glancing over it, Yang Hao placed Emperor Dà Yǔ's decree on the desk and looked at the ministers in the hall. In addition to the ministers of the Imperial Affairs Office, Zhou Yafu and Chen Qingzhi, who had recently emerged, were exceptionally admitted into the Imperial Affairs Office.
"Your Majesty!"
Zhou Yafu stepped forward respectfully and said, "Your subject believes we do not need to rely on the Dà Yǔ Celestial Dynasty. I alone can lead the army of kings and sweep away the Purple Lightning Sect in the Southern Limit Domain!"
"While General Zhou's words are sufficient to quell the rebellion, the Ancient Celestial Emperor has fallen, and the major powers that once depended on the Ancient Imperial Court have all declared themselves kings. Your subject believes we should employ stratagem to gradually weaken other powers, form an alliance with the Dà Yǔ Celestial Dynasty, and then, with our army, crush both the Purple Lightning Sect and the Dà Yǔ Celestial Dynasty in one fell swoop, conquering two major domains in one battle!"
Jia Xu cupped his hands and said again, "Your Majesty, esteemed ministers, the Dà Yǔ Celestial Dynasty is in decline. I request permission to proceed to the Ancient Imperial Court to make preparations in advance for the unification of this precarious region by our Great Han Celestial Dynasty, and to use the power of the Ancient Imperial Court to incite conflict between the Ascending Immortal Sect and another celestial dynasty."
"Your Majesty, your subject agrees with Jia Xu's proposal. Although the Ancient Celestial Emperor has fallen, he still possesses three Emperor-grade immortal treasures. The Ancient Imperial Court is the only Celestial Emperor expert in this precarious region. We can only strategize against it, not attack it head-on. Furthermore, the Ascending Immortal Sect still holds an Emperor-grade immortal treasure to suppress its destiny. If we incite a great war between the two factions, it would be an excellent strategy!" Du Ruhui stroked his beard and said.
"My esteemed minister has just returned to court. Perhaps you could rest for a while before departing?" Yang Hao said gently to Jia Xu. For the past eighty years, Jia Xu's contributions were indelible, creating a vast space for development and consolidating the Great Han's national strength and status.
"Thank you, Your Majesty. My mind is made up. Moreover, this precarious region is a complex place with ever-changing situations. To prevent unforeseen circumstances, it is best to proceed as soon as possible!"
"The Ancient Imperial Court has just experienced the fall of the Ancient Celestial Emperor, and its subordinate powers are rebelling one after another. Your subject believes that this is the opportune moment to infiltrate the Ancient Imperial Court. The conflict between the Ancient Imperial Court and powers like the Ascending Immortal Sect has just intensified. Your subject believes we should seize this opportunity and constantly push conflicts, even bloody battles, to the extreme!" Jia Xu cupped his hands.
"Since my esteemed minister's mind is made up, you shall depart immediately for the Ancient Imperial Court to weaken its foundations and incite conflict, thereby laying a solid foundation for our Great Han to unify this precarious region."
"Jia Xu, you have my decree. For eighty years, Jia Xu has infiltrated the Dà Yǔ Celestial Dynasty, restrained the enemy, and weakened its ruling foundation and national strength, earning glorious merit for our Great Han. I bestow upon you one Divine-grade immortal treasure, and you may select any pill from the Pill Hall as you wish. You are also rewarded with a golden token. Depart for the Ancient Imperial Court today!" Yang Hao wasted no words. He first bestowed rewards and then ordered Jia Xu to depart for the Ancient Imperial Court.
"Your subject, Jia Xu, thanks Your Majesty for your benevolent grace."
After respectfully bowing, Jia Xu left the Imperial Affairs Office. He did not go to the Pill Hall to select pills but instead directly entered the Granary Path and headed towards the Ancient Imperial Court. Su Dan Novel Network.
"Forming an alliance with the Dà Yǔ Celestial Dynasty and attacking the Purple Lightning Sect. For this battle, we must pacify the Dà Yǔ Celestial Dynasty and the Southern Limit Domain. What do my esteemed ministers think, who can shoulder this important responsibility?"
"Your Majesty, your subject requests to take overall command of this battle. Within half a month, we will sweep away the Purple Lightning Sect and the elite forces of the Dà Yǔ Celestial Dynasty!" Zhou Yafu hurried forward. Chen Qingzhi moved his body slightly, but he was not as quick as Zhou Yafu and had to retreat.
"Good!"
Yang Hao rejoiced and looked at Zhou Yafu, saying, "Zhou Yafu, you have my decree!"
"You are hereby appointed Commander of the Azure Dragon Legion. Lead the Azure Dragon Legion immediately and declare war on the Purple Lightning Sect!"
"Your subject, I kowtow to thank Your Majesty for your benevolent grace!"
Zhou Yafu quickly knelt to express his gratitude, then stood up and accepted the military tally from Yang Hao, along with the alliance letter bearing the imperial seal. Both were handed to Zhou Yafu.
After Zhou Yafu departed, the Imperial Affairs Office fell into silence. No one spoke. At this moment, Chen Qingzhi could not remain idle. He stepped forward, bowed respectfully, and said, "Your Majesty, your subject requests to conquer the Scarlet Sun Sect!"
"The Scarlet Sun Sect has broken away from the Ancient Imperial Court, but has not allied with the Ascending Immortal Sect and other factions. It is isolated and defenseless, and it borders the Blazing Flame Domain of our Great Han Celestial Dynasty. Your subject fears instability along the border and requests to attack it!"
"The Scarlet Sun Sect!"
Yang Hao glanced at the map of this precarious region not far away. The Scarlet Sun Sect did not ally with the Ascending Immortal Sect and other factions, nor did it attack the Ancient Imperial Court. However, it was situated within the vortex. How could it remain aloof? He feared the Scarlet Sun Sect's gaze was fixed on him, on the Great Han Celestial Dynasty that had just annihilated the Six Fire Sect and the Verdant Sun Sect.
"Your subject is willing to submit a military pledge, guaranteeing the destruction of the Scarlet Sun Sect and the control of a domain within half a month!" Chen Qingzhi said again.
"Your subject only requires the seven thousand White Robe Army under my command, which is sufficient to quell them!"
"General Chen, you are magnificent!" The ministers in the Imperial Affairs Office praised him one after another.
"Granted!"
Yang Hao uttered a single word. Chen Qingzhi hurriedly knelt to express his gratitude, then stood up, bowed to Yang Hao again, and left the Imperial Affairs Office. With a turn, he arrived at the barracks and soon gathered the seven thousand White Robe Army, entering the Granary Path.
"My esteemed ministers, the Blazing Flame Domain has just been unified. The matters of annihilating the Purple Lightning Sect, the Dà Yǔ Celestial Dynasty, and the Scarlet Sun Sect are now on the agenda. After nearly eighty years of accumulation, is it enough for the Great Han to control these four domains?" Yang Hao looked at Xiao He with a calm expression.
"Your Majesty, for eighty years, the Great Han's national treasury has been abundant. Pills, immortal treasures, and cultivation resources are sufficient to support the consumption of several legions for hundreds of years. Your Majesty need not worry!" Xiao He said confidently.
"Your Majesty, the election of officials and the military strength of local defenses have also been smoothly implemented. We have more than enough resources to control this precarious region!" Li Si cupped his hands.
"Eighty years of accumulation, and the annihilation of the Six Fire Sect and the Verdant Sun Sect was merely a minor test. What I aim to do is to unify this precarious region and establish the foundation of a Holy Court!"
