Chapter 53: The First Battle

Chapter 53: The First Battle (Two in One)

Mount Li, inside the command room.

Jiangkou Yiyasu was brought back by Dong Jun and his four companions.

"What's the point of keeping him these days?" Dong Jun threw Jiangkou Yikang aside in a good mood, then looked at Jiang Shan and asked.

"He is very useful!" Jiang Shan said softly, looking at Jiangkou Yikang who had a confused look on his face.

"From now on, no one is allowed to leave this command room at will, including you!" Jiang Shan looked at Dong Jun and the other three and said.

"Also, all communication equipment must be handed over immediately. Under no circumstances may you contact the outside world privately!"

"Once discovered, he will be charged with treason!"

As Jiang Shan finished speaking, a team of fully armed soldiers came in and took away all the communication equipment from the few people.

"Lao Jiang, what's going on?" Dong Jun was a little confused. They were out for only an hour or so, so why did the weather feel different when they came back?
Lin Chang and the other two just then noticed that, in addition to them, there were a dozen or so fellow practitioners in the command room. These people were the leaders of the upper-middle-level sects in the Dragon Country's cultivation world.

In addition, there were several middle-aged men in military uniforms sitting in the front.

Just from their temperament, you can tell that these guys are definitely big shots in the military, and they might even be the commanders of certain military regions.

"Is there going to be any big move from above?" Lin Chang asked with a frown.

This is equivalent to putting them under house arrest.

In addition, the sudden appearance of so many people in the command room must mean something big is going on.

Jiang Shan glanced at a few people, then knocked on the table and said, "During this hour, I discussed and decided on one thing with my superiors!"

"This is a matter of great importance. Please don't blame me for being unkind. If you hadn't come into contact with the First Emperor Project, I wouldn't have told you this!"

Hearing this, everyone fell silent and waited for Jiang Shan to continue.

"When we first learned about the situation in the Qin Shi Huang's underground palace, a letter was sent into the palace!"

"The old Heavenly Master personally handed it to the First Emperor. The contents of the letter were known to only the above few people besides me."

"Originally, the contents of this letter are top secret, and I cannot tell you anything about them."

Jiang Shan paused at this point, and everyone listened more attentively, especially the men in military uniforms.

Jiang Shan said these words to them. Dong Jun and the other three all knew something about the previous situation.

“But now, things have changed and the letter is very simple.”

"We didn't know much about the First Emperor at the time, and we didn't know he wanted to change the world!"

"Based on the situation at the time, if the First Emperor revived, he might rebuild the Qin Dynasty, which would inevitably cause unrest in the situation. For this reason, two promises were made."

"First, if the First Emperor wants to rebuild the Qin Dynasty, our Dragon Nation is willing to cooperate with the First Emperor to help rebuild it!"

Everyone nodded when they heard this. There was nothing they could do about it.

The Dragon Kingdom was unwilling to break the peace, but given the situation at the time, the Ancestral Dragon was born and no one could stop it, so it was normal for the higher-ups to make such a decision.

What can I do if you don't help? Even if we put all our strength together as a country, we are still no match for Taishan.

The calculations made by the higher-ups at the time were that even if Dragon Country unleashed all of its strategic nuclear weapons, it might not be able to defeat the enemy.

It would be better to make friends with them as our descendants will be of the same clan in the future generations.

"Second, whatever Daqin wants, as long as Longguo can do it, we will try our best to help Daqin do it. Of course, this is on the premise that it does not harm the people of Longguo."

"So what's going on now?" Dong Jun scratched his head, not understanding what this had to do with the current situation.

What are all these people in the room doing here?
Jiang Shan looked at Dong Jun and continued, "Things developed too quickly and were beyond our expectations, so we sent the letter but never contacted them for negotiations."

"Everyone has seen that on the day when the First Emperor was taken out of his coffin, a god descended to bless him, and later there were reincarnations of sages. We knew too little before, and the information was limited."

"As the power displayed by the First Emperor grows stronger, his ambition is to encompass the heaven and earth, as well as the supreme power in the world. The higher-ups have decided to implement the plan of recognizing our ancestors!"

Everyone nodded when they heard this. They all participated in the following events and understood that this was the trend of the times.

The plan of tracing one's ancestral roots is inevitable!
It would be great if we could talk peacefully now while the guy from Taishan hasn't taken any action yet.

Do you have to wait for others to suppress you with thunderous force before you can kneel down and lick your hands?

Others want the land of Kyushu, so what if Longguo disagrees?

It would be better to just join the Qin Empire in a friendly manner. After all, they are our own ancestors and there is no shame in doing so.

"After the plan of recognizing our ancestors was finalized, our Dragon Country has almost been classified as part of the Great Qin camp, and we are bound to confront the world!"

“This is how the later plan of creating a god and the planning of destiny and national fortune came about.”

Dong Jun and the other three listened without any change in their expressions.

However, the dozen or so new sect leaders all had different expressions.

No wonder they received an order a few days ago to build a statue of the First Emperor, place it in the shrine of the Ancestral Hall, and start writing myths and legends about the First Emperor.

It turns out that all this was decided by the higher-ups.

After waiting for everyone present to digest the information, Jiang Shan continued: "So, now we have to put ourselves in the right position. Longguo is on the side of Daqin!"

"The God Creation Plan is being promoted steadily, and the Ancestor Recognition Plan is also being carried out, so that the people of Longguo can gradually accept the return of the Qin Dynasty to the world."

"After all this is done, we will go to Mount Tai to negotiate with the First Emperor."

"The Dragon Kingdom and the Great Qin will also meet at that time to compete for supremacy in the world!"

"That's right. No matter what the outcome of the negotiations is, one thing has been decided long ago, that is, Longguo and Daqin must meet!"

"The general trend is irreversible and cannot be stopped by human power. This cannot be changed."

Everyone present nodded in unison.

Everyone understands this principle.

If you can't come to an agreement, you can't turn your back on them, so you can only endure it.

Ying Zheng’s strength is there!

"So, in order for Longguo to meet with Daqin smoothly and to protect the rights and interests of our Longguo people."

"We must show enough sincerity! In the end, all we can offer is incense, faith, and luck!"

"The God-making Project is for the sake of incense and faith. Once successfully implemented, it will be the power of faith of 1.3 billion people!"

"And luck requires the expansion of territory. The Dragon Nation needs to occupy a large enough area in the human world to have a large enough luck!"

"At the same time, when the Qin Dynasty fights against the heaven and earth, it will inevitably unify the human world first!"

"So, war is inevitable. We must prepare ourselves and show the First Emperor our sincerity."

"This is what we are doing now, and we must be sincere enough!"

Jiang Shan opened his mouth slowly and explained the current situation.

Between Longguo and Daqin, Longguo is the weaker party.

So you have to show enough sincerity to negotiate.

You even have to submit a letter of allegiance.

And when fighting the first battle for unification, this will be a good token of our loyalty.

As Ying Zheng expected, the upper echelons of the Dragon Kingdom will definitely seize this opportunity.

"Don't worry about that. It's not two hundred years ago now. We in the Dragon Country are not afraid of fighting! We are not afraid of alliances either!" Among the group of people in military uniforms, a man with somewhat gray hair stood up and said.

"That's right, we are not afraid of fighting, but we need a reason!" Jiang Shan patted the table and looked at Jiangkou Yikang.

"He is the starting point! This first battle will be against the island nation!"

After these words were spoken, Dong Jun and the other three finally understood.

The reason why Eguchi Kazuyasu was kept alive was to have a legitimate reason to fight.

"We have sent a call to the world, demanding compensation from the island, but I believe they will not agree!"

"This time, there will be no wrangling. As soon as the island nation makes a statement that it disagrees, we will immediately go to war!"

"This battle is a token of our loyalty and determination!" "The higher-ups have already finished their meeting. The Third and Fourth Armies have assembled and are ready to go at any time. The East China Sea Fleet has also headed for the Tsushima Strait."

"These people are the leaders of the Third and Fourth Army Groups."

"All sect leaders, we need you to join the special operations this time. The generals will tell you the specific arrangements."

As soon as Jiang Shan finished speaking, the generals stood up and introduced themselves to the people.

(Skip, blocked.)
"Um, do we need to inform Taishan?"

"After all, although we have this plan and that plan, we have never expressed our views to that person. What if he doesn't know what we are thinking?"

Li Mu of Taiyi Sect stood up and spoke.

Jiang Shan pondered for a few breaths after hearing this, then nodded and said, "Hmm... That's right, since you proposed it, then go ahead and I'll give you credit for it!"

Li Mu:Ah?
"I?"

"Me?" Li Mu asked blankly.

"Yes, that's you."

"No, me?" There was a hint of disbelief in Li Mu's eyes.

Man, what kind of a punk am I?

You want me to go for this?
"I will inform the higher-ups and write a letter. You will take it to Mount Tai in person and hand it over to the First Emperor." Jiang Shan nodded affirmatively.

"I...?" Li Mu was still a little unsure.

No, why should he?

Taishan, meet Ying Zheng!
Is that where he can go?
He was just making a suggestion.

"Okay, it's decided. Now let's start the detailed combat meeting!"

Jiang Shan knocked on the table and the matter was settled.

……

……

At the foot of Mount Tai.

Li Mu held the letter in his hand, looking left and right, feeling a little at a loss.

"Why are you so mean? The First Emperor should be easy to talk to, right?"

"You won't kill me just because I'm a subsidiary sect of the Zhengyi Sect, right?"

Li Mu muttered to himself.

The Taiyi Sect was once glorious, but later declined and became a subsidiary of the Zhengyi Sect.

"The First Emperor probably doesn't know the relationship between Zhengyi and me. Everything will be fine as long as I don't say it myself." Li Mu comforted himself.

On top of the Jade Emperor.

Yan Hui noticed Li Mu at the foot of the mountain.

"People from Dragon Country?"

"It seems that Your Majesty guessed correctly. Longguo does have the intention to return." Yan Hui murmured.

But at the same time, he was even more confused. How did Ying Zheng, like him, stay in Mount Tai every day and know the thoughts of the Dragon Kingdom?

"Let him come up." Ying Zheng spoke without giving Yan Hui an answer.

At the foot of the mountain, there was a ripple in space, and the mountain road that had disappeared reappeared.

Li Mu was shocked when he saw this scene, and then he carefully crossed the space barrier and stepped onto the land of Mount Tai.

As soon as he entered Mount Tai, before Li Mu could look around, the space shook. When he came to his senses, he had already appeared on the top of Jade Emperor Peak.

Ying Zheng and Yan Hui were sitting on a mountain top not far away.

Below the two people, there is a stone statue in a kneeling posture. It is the immortal on earth, Zhang Jue.

"Li Mu, the current leader of Taiyi Sect, pays respect to the First Emperor and the Revival Saint."

When he saw the two big guys in person, Li Mu didn't care about anything else and kowtowed three times and nine times.

As the saying goes, "A generous gift is not a bad thing, and a smiling person should not be hit."

After all this, I think he should be able to get down the mountain alive, right?
Eh?
Doesn't this mean that he, Li Mu, is the only person in Long Country who has climbed Mount Tai and emerged alive?

"Get up!" Ying Zheng raised his hand, motioning Li Mu to stand up and talk.

"Your Majesty, I am here on behalf of the Dragon Kingdom!"

"Your Majesty's return to heaven and earth should be celebrated by all. Our Dragon Country can hold a grand return ceremony for your Majesty and the Qin Empire at any time."

"Your Majesty, you don't know that when you are not here, people outside are bullying us!"

As he spoke, Li Mu forced a few tears out of his eyes.

His last statement was not wrong.

In the five thousand years of flower cultivation, we have never been beaten so badly by overseas countries.

That's really bullying!

Even though I have stood up again now, that memory can never be erased.

When Yan Hui saw this scene, the corners of his mouth twitched. This little Taoist priest is quite interesting.

"Let's talk business." Ying Zheng raised his eyebrows and said.

He knew that Longguo would send people, which also meant that Longguo had made its final choice.

"Okay." Li Mu nodded repeatedly, calmed down instantly, and then handed the letter to

"Your Majesty, our Dragon Nation has made a decision and has set three major plans!"

"First, we, the Dragon Kingdom, are willing to stand on the side of the Great Qin and confront the Heaven, but Your Majesty, please guarantee the rights and interests of our people."

"Secondly, we will do our best to promote your majesty's legend in Dragon Country, build a statue for your majesty, and collect incense and faith. You should need this thing, right?"

"Third, we will do our best to contact those ancestors who have been resurrected and reincarnated, and try our best to convince them. After all, we are all family, and there is no need to fight among ourselves for outsiders."

"Of course, to show our sincerity, our Dragon Nation is willing to submit a letter of surrender and fight the first battle for the unification of the Qin Dynasty."

"As for the rest of the details, once everything is done, our Dragon Nation and Daqin will hold talks at Mount Tai."

After Li Mu finished speaking, he lowered his head and waited anxiously for Ying Zheng's answer.

All of this is the unilateral idea of ​​their Dragon Country.

What if the First Emperor doesn’t need it, or doesn’t like it?

Then all their efforts would be in vain.

"Your Majesty...flower-growing is a family, and we are united against foreign enemies. This has been ingrained in our blood for five thousand years."

Li Mu looked up with some concern and added.

Above, a hint of surprise flashed in Yan Hui's eyes.

The Dragon Kingdom was so comprehensive in what it did that it even helped Ying Zheng to create a god?
"Your Majesty, have you known about the movements of the Dragon Kingdom for a long time, so you are so confident?" Yan Hui thought to himself.

If Longguo really tried his best to integrate into Daqin, it would not even take a month to unify the world.

And listen to what Li Mu meant.

As long as Ying Zheng nods now.

The Dragon Kingdom will immediately launch the first battle for unification!
