Chapter 337 The army gathers and rushes to the border, leaving Mei Niang behind to stabilize the rear

"Alas..." Xue Rengui also sighed, his eyes flickering with an indescribable sadness: "Speaking of which, at the Xuanwu Gate, when Li Jiancheng was dying, he restrained his demonic soul and will. In the end, he cut out his purest human soul, and the rest of his body was completely assimilated by the demon race, becoming a so-called demon. Then he was killed by His Majesty."

"Although Li Jiancheng, who had completely transformed into a demon, was killed, Kunpeng, the supreme being of the demon race, somehow managed to revive Li Jiancheng in Northern Juluzhou, and he placed great value on Li Jiancheng after his transformation into a demon. He accepted Li Jiancheng as his direct disciple, and gave him the power to command countless demons."

"After that, Li Jiancheng, who had transformed into a demon, launched a demon invasion in order to avenge the death that year. This was also the first great disaster that the current emperor faced after becoming the emperor of man. Among the five continents of heaven and earth, demons from three continents came to attack."

"That battle was brutal and bloody, and the demons even invaded the Nine Provinces. In the end, it was the current emperor who sacrificed nearly half of the Tang Dynasty's national destiny, blessed all the Tang Dynasty soldiers, and made the Weishui Covenant with countless powerful human families by beheading a white horse. Only then did he lead countless powerful human beings, kill countless demons, and repel Li Jiancheng."

"But who would have thought that, after only a few years, Li Jiancheng would actually make a comeback. He even transformed into an ancient alien species, the Locust Eater!"

Weishui Covenant, beheading the white horse... Wow, the Weishui Covenant and beheading the white horse in the emotional memory were not signed with foreign races, but with the powerful families of the human race.

Emperor Xiao could not help but frown: "Your Majesty needs to sacrifice half of the country's destiny and sign a contract with the strong men of the human family in order to get their help? This is the human race, and it is the demon race that is coming to kill them. Isn't it a bit..."

"As human beings, it is our duty to suppress demons and eliminate evil. Protecting the human race and the Nine Provinces is the responsibility and belief of all of us humans. But the disaster that the Tang Dynasty suffered was entirely due to the Tang Dynasty itself. And the one who attacked was Li Jiancheng, the former crown prince of the Tang Dynasty."

"The Tang Dynasty's royal family has created such a big trouble. Whether it is the sages of Huoyun Cave, or the human families and human masters, they all feel tired and disgusted with the Tang Dynasty. Especially when Li Jiancheng transformed into a demon and attacked the human race, many human masters were unwilling to help the Tang Dynasty. Some even wanted to overthrow the Tang Dynasty and create a new dynasty."

"Originally, many human families and strong men were prepared to wait until the Great Tang and the demon tribes fought to the last bit of national destiny, and then stepped forward to rebuild the nine provinces. It was also thanks to the current emperor who spent countless costs to sign the Weishui Alliance. Otherwise, there would be no Great Tang now."

As Xue Rengui said, the great disaster that the Tang Dynasty encountered was entirely caused by the people of the Tang Dynasty. If the Tang Dynasty behaved honestly and faced the demons, then there would be countless powerful human race and aristocratic families to help without the Tang Dynasty saying anything more.

But you, the Tang Dynasty, have committed the sins yourself, and we wish you would be destroyed and create a new dynasty. So we don’t care whether you, the Tang Dynasty, live or die.

No one knows what else Li Shimin paid, besides giving up half of the Tang Dynasty's national destiny, to make these human beings agree to help.

The Tang Dynasty sacrificed half of its national destiny in exchange for its previous victory.

You know, national destiny represents the life span of a dynasty. Sacrificing half of it is equivalent to sacrificing half of the life of the Tang Dynasty. For any dynasty that wants to pass on for many generations, it is a heavy blow.

But Xue Rengui's words were filled with helplessness. It was obvious that the Tang Dynasty was surrounded by enemies. Outside, Li Jiancheng, who had transformed into a demon, led countless demons and barbarians to invade. Inside, there were countless powerful human beings and human families waiting for the destruction of the Tang Dynasty.

Under such circumstances, it is not surprising that Li Shimin made that choice.

But now, Li Jiancheng, who has transformed into a demon, has come to kill him again. It is clear that history is about to repeat itself. This time, Li Shimin has no national destiny to sacrifice. Therefore, Li Shimin must fight with all his might, even if the human race has just survived the drought. Otherwise, the Tang Dynasty will really be destroyed. 】

Xue Rengui's deep eyes were filled with fighting spirit: "Emperor Xiao, my incarnation is about to dissipate. You must lead the army to the southern border and take charge of commanding one of the armies."

As he said this, he also handed a special token to Di Xiao. That was the token for commanding the army, and also the symbol of Di Xiao's identity.

Emperor Xiao grabbed the token and felt a mysterious aura coming from it. It was obviously an acquired spiritual treasure. It was imprinted with many details about Emperor Xiao's military rank, duties, and number of merits. Even the exchange catalog of the Merit Hall now appeared in the token.

Obviously this token is not simple. It is completely a mobile hall of merit.

Emperor Xiao was surprised and immediately searched for his own merits and the things that could be exchanged in the Merit Hall. He found that his merits had unexpectedly increased to tens of millions without him noticing. Moreover, the number of merits was constantly increasing.

Emperor Xiao soon understood the reason for the change in the number of merits. It turned out that Tang Dynasty civil officials could gain merits by governing a region, and Emperor Xiao, as the governor of Yuhang County, naturally gained merits by governing a region.

Moreover, Emperor Xiao led the people of Yuhang County through the drought, so his merits were naturally greater. However, the merits at present were only tens of millions, and obviously this did not include Emperor Xiao's creation of new grain varieties. Otherwise, let alone tens of millions, even hundreds of billions would be normal.

Emperor Xiao had so many merits, so naturally he wanted to spend them. But the exchange items seemed to have dropped by a rare amount. Obviously, such a change was also for this war.

In order to deal with this war, Li Shimin spared no effort, and his merits declined, which was enough to improve the countless soldiers and monks in the Tang Dynasty today.

Emperor Xiao pondered silently, and with a wave of his hand, he exchanged all the resources that he valued. Emperor Xiao did not exchange any cultivation methods, but focused on exchanging resources.

There will be constant wars in the future, and resources are the key to war. As for the methods of cultivation, I can slowly exchange and comprehend them when I have time in the future.

After a long time, Xilin and Ruolin returned.

"Lord Di Xiao, in compliance with your order, all soldiers in Yuhang County will gather together. Now there are more than 300 billion female soldiers and more than 100 billion male soldiers. Many soldiers can rush to the battlefield at any time." Since Xilin was arranged by Di Xiao to lead the soldiers in Yuhang County, he naturally worked hard to reorganize them.

All the female warriors that Di Xiao brought from the Kingdom of Women were integrated into the army of Yuhang County, and the original army was reorganized. After years of training, it has reached its current size.

Emperor Xiao's mind followed the luck and instantly felt the breath and posture of the Yuhang County army. He felt the fighting spirit in them, ready to go. He was very satisfied: "Since the army is fully prepared, let's set off."
