Chapter nine hundred and eighty-seven another promotion
This was a blessing in disgrace for Lan Haolin, so he was naturally very happy, especially when he remembered that Shen Zhong, who had been envious and jealous before, died like this, and his soul was destroyed, which was even more enjoyable.
He even had a vague idea in his mind, that is, what if the master was partial to Shen Zhong? In the end, it was himself, not him who survived. It can be seen that he was blessed and destined, and he would definitely be the greatest success in the future.
But not long after being proud, Lan Haolin couldn't be happy because Shen Zhong was dead and Xia Fan was still alive. He had a grudge against him and he was already eyeing the Kingdom of God's Eye. If he was caught by him, he would definitely be done.
And as Shen Zhong died, it was impossible for him to stay in the Kingdom of Divine Eye.
"What should I do?" After thinking about it, Lan Haolin suddenly had an idea and said to himself: "I went to the Holy Dragon Kingdom to find Long Xiaoshu. Although my relationship with him was not very good in the past, it was not bad enough to have a grudge. We are the same disciples. Now I go to find him, and he has no reason to drive me away."
"As long as he is willing to take me in, I will tell him some secrets in the country of Shenmu and encourage him to send troops to annex the Kingdom of Shenmu. In this way, we can show goodwill to Long Xiaoshu, and secondly, we can make the Holy Dragon Kingdom and Xia Fan face each other. As long as they can fight for both losses, I will be able to gain benefits in the future."
As soon as he thought of this, Lan Haolin made up his mind completely, and after dealing with the injury, he went straight towards the Holy Dragon Kingdom.
He moved so anxiously because he knew very well that the news of Shen Zhong being killed could not be hidden. Now he had gone too early, so it would be more valuable to tell Long Xiaoshu before everyone. If he went too late, the news would be meaningless after all Long Xiaoshu knew.
…………………
As Lan Haolin expected, the news of Shen Zhong's defeat and murder was indeed impossible to cover up, and it soon spread.
First, because Shen Zhong, a king of state, personally led a million troops to conquer Xia Fan, was too eye-catching. Whether it was a person who had anything to do with the warring parties or had nothing to do with, the power and the country were closely watching the progress of the matter.
Because the battle between Shen Zhong and Xia Fan will inevitably be the result of one side defeating the other side's great victory, and the winner will inevitably increase its strength after obtaining the loser's territory, population and troops, becoming a great country that can influence the situation of the surrounding countries.
Even if such a big country cannot compare with a giant like the Han Dynasty, it is still enough to make the surrounding small countries that are bordered by it or even not bordered by it but are not far away frightened by it. This makes people ignore such a war.
Second, because Xia Fan did not deliberately instruct his subordinates to suppress the spread of this news.
It is because he knows that such things cannot be suppressed at all, and because he also feels that there is no need to cover them up. After winning a battle, he should let others know that only by showing off his muscles can he gain the awe of the enemy country. This is a very simple truth.
Although the Kingdom of Shenmu was destroyed halfway, the battle was not over yet. We must not only fight against the Kingdom of Holy Dragon, but also be wary of the Han Dynasty. We also need a brilliant victory to inspire the morale of the people.
Under such circumstances, Liu Xingchen, the emperor of the Han Dynasty, received information from Qianlongwei about the result of the war.
Originally, Liu Xingchen had just received a report saying that the Han Dynasty and Ying Potian's army fought head-on, killing more than 30,000 enemies, and greatly defeating the enemy's anger. This made him very happy. While thinking about how to reward him, he saw that Xia Fan not only killed Shen Zhong, but also annihilated the millions of troops he led. This made Liu Xingchen immediately feel that his victory was too insignificant.
"What is Geng Qingping doing? Why did he have no results when he asked him to suppress the bandits?" Liu Xingchen said in a deep voice.
"Report to the emperor, Geng Qingping led his troops to attack after receiving the order, but was blocked by Lu Chuan, who had been following Xia Fan's troops. The two sides had been fighting on the border for many days, and because the winner has not been decided so far, the servants have not reported to the emperor." Liu Jixiang quickly explained.
"Pursuit him." Liu Xingchen said.
"Yes." Liu Jixiang agreed respectfully.
……………………
In a blink of an eye, three days passed, and although the post-war affairs were intricate, they were properly handled with the concerted efforts of the Thirteenth Prince and others and a group of officers.
Among the more than 300,000 prisoners, as many as 250,000 were willing to surrender, so they were reorganized into the existing army, while those who refused to surrender were escorted to Baishi City as a coolie.
After handling everything, he should have reported to Xia Fan and asked him how to act next, but no one from above dared to disturb Xia Fan, and he didn't even dare to approach the big tent where Xia Fan was.
Just because the aura emitted from Xia Fan's tent in the past two days has become increasingly vast and powerful, with a mountain and a sea of pressure, it is impossible to get close to the door of the tent. Not to mention ordinary officers, even the Thirteenth Prince, Fairy Yun Xi and others who have the strength of the Divine Realm, will not do it.
In this regard, the Thirteenth Prince and others were not worried but happy, just because this only means that Xia Fan is about to complete another breakthrough.
Especially today, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth within a radius of tens of thousands of miles is surging, constantly rushing towards Xia Fan's tent.
Because the spiritual energy of heaven and earth is too rich, it gives people the feeling that it is like standing around a big tent and grabbing a handful of air, you can squeeze out the liquefied spiritual energy.
The Thirteenth Prince, Shi Yong, Jian Gan, Fairy Yun Xi and Qinglian Dao Girl stood thousands of feet away from the tent, looking at the tent with concern. It was not that they didn't want to get closer, but that it was really difficult to do it. If it weren't for them not hostile, they would be afraid that they would be suppressed by the pressure from a further distance.
The wind roared, but the clouds in the sky were not blown away, but instead gathered together, turning into various shapes, looking ethereal and lively, as if they were in a fairyland.
The 750,000 troops under Xia Fan were standing further away, looking at all this with awe and admiration.
After waiting anxiously and nervously, the aura in the tent suddenly became stronger and the pressure covered a larger range, so that the 750,000 army, which was already ten miles away, was still affected. I felt that a powerful and extremely fearful pressure was shrouded in it, and I couldn't help but kneel on the ground.
At this moment, they were no longer brave soldiers who had experienced many battles, but just ordinary people who were afraid of the power of heaven and earth. Xia Fan's pressure gave them the feeling of the divine power of heaven and earth. As deep as the sea and as powerful as a mountain, they were afraid to look at it and dared not fight against it, and they could only obey.
At the same time, Xia Fan's big tent had turned into powder under the crushing of his powerful aura, but at this time, even the Thirteenth Prince and others who were closer together could not see him.
Because a large amount of spiritual energy of heaven and earth was wrapping up Xia Fan, it continued to pour into his body, and then converted into magic power to fill the spirit pool.
Xia Fan sat cross-legged, but his body floated into the air under the support of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. His expression was solemn and solemn, but his breath was still rising.
At this moment, Xia Fan had completed another improvement in his strength and reached the middle stage of the Grandmaster Realm.
Originally, in the battle between him and Shen Zhong, the Fire Dragon clone whose body had been drawn and whose body had shrunk a lot not only returned to its original state but also became much stronger.
At the same time, not only has a lotus leaf added to the golden lotus, but the buds grown have also become larger. At the same time, the lotus leaf is covered with liquefied magic power, which continues to fall downwards, like a water curtain, which is particularly beautiful.
For Xia Fan, this time the improvement of his strength was indeed quite timely. This allowed him to save a lot of worry when implementing his next strategic plan.
Xia Fan, who has the mid-stage strength of the Grandmaster Realm, has more confidence when facing most cultivation sects and Grandmaster Realm powerhouses, which also means that he can let go of his hands and feet to do what he really wants to do.
However, before this, Xia Fan had to solve all the troubles that he had lost.
After his strength was stabilized, Xia Fan slowly opened his eyes, and his breath converged and his powerful pressure gradually disappeared. This made him not much different from before, but only a cultivator with keen perception could feel the powerful power contained in him.
"Congratulations to Senior Brother, your strength has been improved by another level." The Thirteenth Prince and others came over and congratulated them one after another.
"Thank you, thank you." Xia Fan responded with a smile, chatted with everyone, and then asked about military affairs.
When Xia Fan learned that all the relevant affairs after the war had been handled properly, he was quite satisfied and said, "This time I delayed the business because of me, but it doesn't matter. There is always a way to make up for it."
Then Xia Fan summoned all the generals under his command, pointed to the map of the Kingdom of God in front of him and began to assign orders one by one.
Now that Xia Fan's army has increased significantly, he cannot take it all by his side. This is a waste of troops and affects the speed of siege and land.
When Shen Zhong was alive, Xia Fan had to have some concerns. Now that he is dead, the entire Shenmu Kingdom is already without a leader, Xia Fan does not have to worry that Shenmu Kingdom has the ability to organize a million troops to fight him head-on, so he resolutely decided to part ways.
Xia Fan pointed to the map while calling the general's name, and then issued an order to give them troops ranging from 50,000 to 100,000 troops to attack the corresponding city.
Now Xia Fan has an extremely high reputation in the army. All the generals are full of admiration for him and will not dare to question his decision at all. Therefore, after receiving the order, they will immediately issue a bill to mobilize troops. This saves Xia Fan a lot of trouble.
Soon the generals in the tent had already left, and Xia Fan had only 50,000 people left.
