My son is about to break through.

"General Shi, do you think the Emperor of Han will surrender so easily?"

Inside the army camp, Chu Daoxuan looked towards the direction of the capital of the Guiyuan Dynasty. The security there was tight and a tense atmosphere pervaded.

Shi Zhen looked calm.

"Now that the Guiyuan Dynasty is powerless to recover, if they want to preserve the Han bloodline, they have no choice but to surrender!"

"One day is enough to give him a decent chance!"

Decent

Chu Daoxuan was silent.

At nightfall.

Suddenly, flames shot up into the sky in the capital.

The sounds of fire in the palace were heard one after another, causing chaos in the heavily guarded capital.

Such movement.

Naturally, this also alarmed the Shenwu Dynasty.

at this time.

A piece of news reached Shi Zhen.

"What happened?"

Chu Daoxuan couldn't help but ask.

Shi Zhen put away the jade communication talisman and then spoke calmly.

"The Emperor of Han slaughtered all his concubines and then set himself on fire in the palace!"

"call!"

When Chu Daoxuan heard the news, his expression suddenly relaxed.

The Korean emperor committed suicide by burning himself.

This was beyond his expectations, but also within his expectations.

obviously.

The other party retained the last bit of dignity.

The next day.

It's just dawn.

The gates of the capital were wide open, and a group of high-ranking officials of the Guiyuan Dynasty, led by the current Crown Prince Han Ye, surrendered.

In this regard.

Shi Zhen naturally detained everyone at the first opportunity, then sent troops into the capital and completely took control of this ancient capital that had been ruled by the Guiyuan Dynasty for 100,000 years.

-

"boom!"

The land of Kyushu.

Above the Shenwu Dynasty.

I saw a terrifying aura gathering together, and the shadow of the sixth-grade green lotus slowly emerged, becoming much more solid than before.

The pressure from the Green Lotus was so heavy that it seemed to be able to suppress the heaven and earth.

The moment all the cultivators saw Qinglian appear, they showed awe on their faces.

"The fortune of the Shenwu Dynasty has become even stronger!"

"This battle... Could it be that the Guiyuan Dynasty has already fallen——"

The cultivators from all sides have some understanding of the war in the Eastern Region now. The Shenwu Dynasty is advancing rapidly and it is rumored that their troops are heading straight for the Tianyuan Prefecture.

Now that so much time has passed, it is not surprising that the Shenwu Dynasty has actually taken over the Guiyuan Dynasty.

otherwise.

It's also hard to explain.

Why did the fortunes of the Shenwu Dynasty rise so greatly?

at the same time.

The good news about the Eastern Region also quickly reached Gu Yang.

"Well, our Shenwu Dynasty won a great victory in this battle, and Shi Zhen should take the first credit!"

"Pass on my decree, conferring the title of Marquis of Zhenguo on Shi Zhen, and the title of General Zhen Yuan, both of which are of the first rank!"

Gu Yang's face was filled with joy, and he immediately announced the reward for Shi Zhen.

This statement came out.

All the ministers' faces changed drastically.

Marquis of Zhenguo!
General Zhenyuan!

The former is a marquis, and the latter is an official position of the first rank.

The combination of the two is predictable.

but.

No one said anything against it.

After all, Shi Zhen had just suppressed a dynasty, which was the greatest victory of the Shenwu Dynasty in its foreign wars.

Under such circumstances, Shi Zhen's prestige in the army is extremely high. If he speaks out against it at this time, he will easily offend the other party.

then.

Gu Yang also announced the rewards for enthroning Jiang Mo, Xue Cheng, Yan Yun and others.

Although they were not granted the title of marquis like their peers, they all received the title of earl.

The canonization is completed.

Gu Yang then ordered the six ministries to arrange personnel to go to the Guiyuan Dynasty to integrate the 373 prefectures and incorporate them into the Shenwu Dynasty.

Only when the people are loyal can the country's fortunes be greatly improved.

but.

This way.

A lot of manpower and material resources are required.

Manpower is one aspect, and establishing a teleportation array for both parties is another aspect.

Looking at the territory between Jiuzhou and Guiyuan Dynasty, there are many prefectures separated by it.

For a moment.

Gu Yang wanted to send a large army directly to capture all these prefectures and completely connect the two territories.

But think about it.

Gu Yang still did not act rashly.

Now that the Shenwu Dynasty has just won a victory, all aspects need to rest and recuperate. Only after everything of the Guiyuan Dynasty has been completely transformed will they make plans for the next step.

Another point.

If there are frequent wars.

It is easy to arouse the soldiers' war-weariness.

therefore.

Now that the war has just ended, from all aspects, it is not appropriate to start another war.

……

Gujiazhuang.

After the meeting.

Gu Yang came here directly to meet Gu Qingfeng.

"Father, the Guiyuan Dynasty has been defeated!"

As soon as Gu Yang arrived, he told the good news.

The purpose of his coming here.

Just to tell Gu Qingfeng about this.

In this regard.

Gu Qingfeng looked calm, as if he had expected this.

See this.

Gu Yang admired him more and more.

No matter what, he couldn't be as calm as Gu Qingfeng, who remained calm even when faced with a huge crisis.

"What are your plans next?"

"As far as I know, the Guiyuan Dynasty governs 373 prefectures and has 10 billion subjects. It would be best if this power could be used properly.

Otherwise, there will be endless troubles!"

"After all, water can carry a boat, but it can also capsize it!"

Hearing Gu Qingfeng's words, Gu Yang spoke without thinking.

“I plan to send people to the East Region first to take over all 373 prefectures and suppress all unstable factors. Then I will open an academy and promote the Nine Provinces system.

In this way, within a hundred years, all 373 prefectures can be used by our Shenwu Dynasty!"

Gu Yang said this simply, but it is not so easy to actually implement it.

After all, the Guiyuan Dynasty has ruled over the 373 prefectures for a full 100,000 years, and has long been deeply rooted. It is not so easy to truly win the hearts of the people of the 373 prefectures.

but.

Gu Yang wasn't too worried.

As long as we kill a group of people, suppress a group of people, and then implement policies that benefit the people, a hundred years will be more than enough.

"Since you have an idea, then act according to your idea!"

Gu Qingfeng nodded.

He did not interfere too much in Gu Yang's actions.

then.

Gu Yang stayed in Gujiazhuang for half a day and asked Gu Qingfeng some questions about cultivation.

With Gu Qingfeng's current ninth-level saint realm, it was easy for him to instruct the other party. Gu Yang benefited greatly from his little insights into the great Dao.

Half a day later.

Gu Yang left.

Gu Qingfeng looked up at the sky, where the shadow of the sixth-grade green lotus had disappeared.

"One Guiyuan Dynasty is not enough to promote the Shenwu Dynasty to an imperial dynasty, but there is no rush for this matter. Once the foundation of the Guiyuan Dynasty is digested, the Shenwu Dynasty should be able to make further progress.

At that time, even if we cannot be promoted to an imperial dynasty, we can save a lot of effort!"

Last time.

The Shenwu Dynasty was promoted.

Gu Qingfeng gained great benefits.

If it is promoted to an empire later, the benefits will be even greater.

Gu Qingfeng even doubted it.

When the Shenwu Dynasty is promoted to an imperial dynasty, he might be able to obtain a pill that will lead him to the sage realm.

after all.

When a dynasty appears, it gives direct-promotion pills to the Divine Transformation Realm, and when an imperial dynasty gives direct-promotion pills to the Dao Palace Realm, it is also normal for an imperial dynasty to give direct-promotion pills to the Saint Realm.

But if the Shenwu Dynasty wants to be promoted to an imperial dynasty, it still has a long way to go.

Even if the latter had absorbed the 100,000-year heritage of the Guiyuan Dynasty, it would not be possible to achieve success overnight.

after all--

The promotion of an imperial dynasty is no small feat.

The entire ancient world.

There are actually quite a few ancient dynasties.

But when it comes to the imperial level, the number drops drastically.

Let’s talk about the Eastern Region.

There are only a handful of ancient dynasties.

Any empire needs a long period of time to accumulate little by little before it can be truly promoted.

And the divine dynasty above the imperial dynasty.

There is none.

The only divine dynasty that Gu Qingfeng knows about now is the Taiyi Divine Dynasty from the ancient times.

Of course.

That's not to say.

In the entire ancient world, from the ancient times to the present, there has only been one divine dynasty.

It’s just that the former divine dynasties were buried in the dust of time. In today’s ancient world, the divine dynasties have disappeared and the imperial dynasties are supreme.

-

Since the fall of the Guiyuan Dynasty.

The Shenwu Dynasty sent people to take control of the 373 prefectures and formally raised the flag of the Shenwu Dynasty.

In this regard.

This caused a lot of turmoil.

Many forces are secretly closely related to the Guiyuan Dynasty. All the remnants of the Guiyuan Dynasty are still unwilling to give up their evil intentions and are still trying to overthrow the rule of the Shenwu Dynasty and restore the prosperity of the Guiyuan Dynasty.

For these people.

Gu Yang would naturally not be merciful.

Whenever found.

They all directly sent large armies to encircle and suppress the enemy.

Anyone who attempts to collude with the rebels is basically guilty of a heinous crime punishable by extermination of all nine generations of his clan.

Under such iron-blooded means of punishing everyone involved, 373 people were killed and blood flowed like a river.

The number of monks who died in the rebellion was even greater than that during the war between the Shenwu Dynasty and the Guiyuan Dynasty.

Such cruel practices of the Shenwu Dynasty naturally aroused rebellious psychology among more cultivators.

however.

However, Gu Yang did not give in.

In his opinion.

Since there is a rebellious mentality, then kill them. Kill them until no one dares to oppose, and the problem will naturally be solved.

For a while.

Three hundred and seventy-three prefectures had heads rolling.

Every decree issued represents the lives of tens of thousands or even hundreds of millions of people.

Three years.

Countless forces from various prefectures were wiped out, and hundreds of millions of monks died due to involvement in rebellion.

As the Shenwu Dynasty completely disregarded the lives of the monks and just slaughtered them indiscriminately, the remaining people finally became afraid.

They found out.

The Shenwu Dynasty didn't care about public opinion at all.

I don't care about being criticized by everyone.

The Shenwu Dynasty had only one policy to deal with anyone who attempted to overthrow its ruler.

That is——Kill!!!

and so.

The remaining monks were naturally frightened.

See this.

Gu Yang took advantage of this opportunity to recruit some local forces for his own use, turning them into the imperial court's sharp knife and directly using them to suppress all parties.

Followed by.

Many policies that benefit the people were passed down one by one and were soon accepted by the people and monks in the 373 prefectures.

Wait until the fifth year.

The influence of the Guiyuan Dynasty has been suppressed to the extreme.

Except for a few die-hard fans, everyone else gradually accepted the rule of the Shenwu Dynasty.
