Yu Liyang sat at the highest point of the city tower, quietly looking at the soldiers wearing strong armor and fighting hard, and suddenly thought... I wonder how many of them we will see again after this battle?

This sad feeling really shouldn't exist, and it's even rarer for a strong Yan Dao master.

But after all, what you see are living people.

He has his own parents and family, loves and hates, and has a unique life.

The living soldiers were like ants, climbing up and down in dense numbers, busy building fortifications.

Daxia was administered by six departments: the Ministry of Personnel, the Ministry of Household Affairs, the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Punishment, and the Ministry of Works. The two kings supported the country, and the Queen Mother hung the curtain.

The Prime Minister Liu Xiyi is also in charge of the Ministry of Officials, and the Prime Minister Xi Meng is also in charge of the Ministry of Rites.

As for the Ministry of Industry, it has always been the foundation of Taishi.

Monks who were good at using earth to practice Taoism were gathered together, and under unified coordination, they performed magic, dug ditches, filled ravines, and built walls with earth.

The formation masters of the Ministry of Industry in white robes are carefully carving formation patterns, and they must urgently build a protective formation before the Qi army arrives. Of course, most of these formation masters are from the Tai clan.

The young man named Taiyin was also among them, and he was very efficient and hard-working. He did not see any contempt from the noble master.

Everyone works hard.

This is Tongyang City, which belongs to Xiangyou Mansion.

To the northeast is Fengjie Bianfu.

A steady stream of troops passed around the city and marched resolutely towards Fengjie.

However, Yu Liyang knew very well that Fengjie Mansion could not be defended...

The most dangerous pass in Fengjie Mansion is Jianfeng Mountain.

Other than that, everything is smooth sailing.

However, Jianfeng Mountain has long been smashed, and the entire defense system was destroyed by Jiang Mengxiong. From last year to now, the Ministry of Industry has consumed a lot of resources and has been trying its best to repair it... But without ten years, it is impossible to restore the old outlook.

The decision to abandon Fengjie Mansion and defend Xiangyou Mansion was made by Si Jiao and him together.

But Fengjie Mansion cannot be lost so easily, at least it must buy some time for Xiangyou Mansion to build up its defenses, so there are still so many troops heading to Fengjie.

Their mission is not to repel the Qi army, which is impossible, but to turn Fengjie Mansion into a quagmire and delay the Qi army with their flesh and blood.

"What is King Min looking at?" Suddenly a voice rang in his ears.

At this moment, the guards were all standing in the distance. Under the hunting breeze of the city tower, a majestic man with an ancient aura appeared in front of Yu Liyang.

The wind stopped.

Yu Liyang didn't get up, he just said: "People."

Looking at the entire Xia Kingdom, the only person who could appear beside him like this at this moment was King Wu Sijiao.

The eight hundred and ninety-seven-year-old Prince of Daxia had already become a true king and the pillar of the country two generations before Emperor Xia Xiang. During the era when Emperor Xia Xiang was in charge, he even showed his brilliance.

Behind the Gate of Ten Thousand Demons and in the Mysterious Realm, there are immortal meritorious deeds.

It was truly a glorious era. Da Xia conquered Wei and Liang, dared to ask the heroes of Chu, went to their old places, and fought for hegemony in the east...

But Sijiao of that era was just one of many glorious figures in Daxia.

Now he has become the irreplaceable jade pillar of Xia Kingdom.

For Sijiao himself, the feeling must be indescribable.

"Yes." Si Jiao also looked down at Yu Liyang's gaze and sighed: "If it hadn't been for this war, maybe some of these people would have had an extraordinary future."

Yu Liyang didn't speak for a while.

Si Jiao suddenly said again: "Jin Ling asked for orders to guard Jianfeng Mountain."

"Marquis An Guo..." Yu Liyang sighed: "It's not his fault that he went to Chu without success. Why is it so?"

The ordinary soldiers who rushed to Fengjie Mansion did not know their fate.

But high-ranking officials like Jin Ling would certainly understand. It was a place that had been abandoned at a strategic level. What they guarded with their lives was not Fengjie Mansion, but time.

Si Jiao only said: "There must be someone guarding Jianfeng Mountain. We cannot abandon that place without drawing a sword or shooting an arrow."

Yu Liyang stood up directly and said: "I, the king, should go. If An Guohou leaves, whether he will die or not, I am afraid he will not be able to complete the strategic plan."

Facing the mighty Qi army, if we want to complete the idea of ​​turning Fengjie Mansion into a quagmire of flesh and blood, we must at least fill it with a real person.

However, how could the Xia Kingdom just abandon a real person in this world like this?

Jin Ling took the initiative to ask for a job because he had a death wish.

But there are some distances that cannot be crossed by courage and willpower. For example, to the west of Jianfeng Mountain...the abyss of hundreds of miles that has not yet been filled.

Jin Ling probably can't even delay time!

It's different if Prince Min goes there in person. The powerful Zhenjun cooperates with the existing fortifications in Jianfeng Mountain, and how can he be entangled in Fengjie Mansion for dozens of days.

But, let me say but...

As the Min King of Daxia, Yu Liyang is a powerful true king. If he takes action too early, his "Tao" will undoubtedly be observed and spied on more. This will increase his risk in this war!
