Apocalypse Empire, Cheongju Province.

Li Shimin led the army to advance forcefully, from Taiping Mansion all the way to Liuzhou Mansion.

Although the army of the Tang Empire was about to occupy the entire territory of Guangxi in Qingzhou Province at this time, the sadness on Li Shimin's face deepened.

Li Zhi died and was sent to him in pieces. In front of people, he did not shed a single tear. But late at night, he shed tears that he hadn't seen in years.

In order to avenge Li Zhi, he ordered the slaughter of Taiping Mansion and Nanning Mansion to be buried for Li Zhi.

But even so, he was still full of melancholy, and the depression in his heart could not dissipate for a long time.

In just a few days, more than half of the 10 million Rangers of the Tang Empire had died in battle.

At this time, there were only a few ranger troops with unstable morale left behind him. This battle is getting more and more difficult.

"Your Majesty, it's not good, the Ming Empire has perished!"

And when the spies brought the news, he became even more flustered.

Cheng Mu's courage is too great. His own army was under pressure, and this Cheng Mu was under pressure to destroy the Ming Empire?

Now that the Ming Empire has perished, doesn't that mean that all the efforts I made before were in vain?

"Pass my order to order Li Jing, Xue Rengui and others to withdraw their troops!"

Li Shimin dared not divide his troops to fight again.

He knew that at this time Cheng Mu would definitely turn around and start a war against the Tang Empire.

After seeing the power of the Apocalypse Empire, he will go all out!

"Order Yan Changyun to speed up his march!"

Finally, he growled sharply.

At this time, in Guangxi, Qingzhou Province, there is still a city in Guilin Mansion stubbornly resisting.

So he wanted to completely occupy the entire territory of Guangxi before Cheng Mu rushed back, so as to reduce the national fortune of the Tianqi Empire!

Now he is trying every means to reduce Cheng Mu's strength.

"Obey!"

Fang Xuanling and the others are also frowning now.

In the past few days of fighting, although many soldiers died in the Apocalypse Empire. But there seems to be a steady stream of soldiers from the Apocalypse Empire throughout Guangxi.

General Wei Xiaobao is dead, why is the morale of the soldiers of the Apocalypse Empire still so high?

At this time, Wei Zheng opened his mouth and said without any scruples about Li Shimin's emotions: "Your Majesty, please withdraw the troops!"

He disapproved of fighting against the Apocalypse Empire from the very beginning, so that Li Zhi would die.

And now, Li Zhi is dead. As for the Tang Empire, they also failed to achieve the results they deserved. Guangxi, which is as big as a palm, is fighting so hard. How can we fight the next war?

In addition, the country was invaded by pirates, and the coastal cities were burned, killed and looted wantonly.

He, Wei Zheng, can't stay still!

Rather than wasting time here, it's better to go back and discuss it again!

"You! Presumptuous!"

Hearing that Wei Zheng actually asked him to withdraw his troops, Li Shimin's eyes were instantly filled with anger. He roared angrily, "Come on, drag him down!"

It is an unforgivable crime that Wei Zheng actually came out to disturb the morale of the army at the critical moment!

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty!"

Seeing that Li Shimin wanted to punish Wei Zheng, Fang Xuanling at the side hastily persuaded him, "Xuan Cheng was just impulsive, please spare his life, Your Majesty!"

The strength on my own side is not enough. If Wei Zheng is removed, it will be even more difficult for the Tang Empire!

"Your Majesty! If you have more strength now, you will have more opportunities!"

At this time, the Tang Empire is facing many difficulties, punish Wei Zheng? It's better to let Wei Zheng make meritorious service on the battlefield!

"Hmph! No one can say the word retreat in this battle!"

Now that the shot has been made, there is absolutely no reason to retreat.

Li Shimin went all out.

Although Cheng Mu has conquered the Ming Empire, the land of the Ming Empire has not yet fed back the Tianqi Empire.

This battle is his last chance for the Tang Empire.

Once Cheng Mu consolidates his power, even his own Great Tang Empire may not be able to escape the poisonous hands of the Apocalypse Empire!

"My minister obeys!"

Fang Xuanling breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly pulled Wei Zheng back.

"His Majesty!"

Wei Zheng wanted to tell, but Fang Xuanling just covered his mouth! Does this Wei Zheng not want to live? !

Guangxi, Guilin Prefecture.

At this time, all the forces in the Apocalypse Empire gathered here.

Zuo Ci, Yu Ji, Di Renjie, Zhuge Liang, Guan Zhong, Lin Zexu, Xie Xuan, Lin Lao......

Facing Li Shimin's imperial conquest, only by joining forces can they withstand Li Shimin's advance.

"Haha! Everyone, there is good news!"

In the City Lord's Mansion, Zhuge Liang laughed and said to everyone after receiving the news of the Ming Empire's demise.

When the battle of the Ming Empire is over, the army representing the expedition of the Apocalypse Empire can return.

"Good! Good! Good!"

Guan Zhong even said three good words. During this time, he racked his brains.

Under his personal call, tens of millions of young and strong people in Cheongju Province bravely joined the army and served the country.

Coupled with the joint efforts of everyone, this Guilin mansion was defended.

During the battle during this period, although they killed Li Shimin's five million ranger army. But our own casualties exceeded six million!

General Wei Xiaobao even led the Qingzhou Army to fight to the last moment, guarding the city of Nanning until his death.

There is no way, there are too many Xeons under Li Shimin's command.

When Zuo Ci and Yu Ji joined hands to resist Yuan Tiangang, only Xie Xuan, Zhuge Liang, Guan Zhong, Lin Lao, and Shan Xiongxin were the only powerful ghosts and gods that could be used by the Apocalypse Empire.

And their five opponents are Fang Xuanling, Wei Zheng, Changsun Wuji, Shangguan Wan'er, Yao Chong, Du Ruhui, Gao Shilian, Wang Gui...

At this time, under Li Shimin's command, there are more than ten strong ghosts and gods! Even Li Chunfeng, who was recovering from his injuries, withstood the battlefield!

If it weren't for the sword-loving Excalibur Army who resisted Li Chunfeng several times with their army souls, and Zhao Yun, Zhang Wanlong and others led the Apocalypse Army to help, otherwise Xie Xuan, Zhuge Liang and others would have died in battle long ago!

"Hold on, everyone!"

Zhuge Liang made the final mobilization for the war, and he said: "As long as we can persist until His Majesty returns, that is the time for me to counterattack!"

Although Li Shimin is strong, he is not afraid!

He believed that with the solidarity of the people of Qingzhou Province, the enemy would be kept in Guangxi.

In the city at this time, not only Xie Xuan's Beifu Legion, but also the powerful Tianqi Legion!

Although the strength of Zhao Yun, Zhang Wanlong, Huang Zhong and others has not yet reached the level of ghosts and gods, they are already independent existences!

If Li Shimin acts recklessly, the whole of Guangxi will be turned into a Shura field!

"it is good!"

Everyone strengthened their determination. Li Shimin wants to destroy the Apocalypse Empire? Then step over their dead bodies!

That's the time!

"Roar!"

The hundreds of feet of national fortune golden dragon roared from the north.

After absorbing the national fortune of Mingzhou province, the golden dragon of the national fortune of the Apocalypse Empire began to give gifts to everyone in the country.

It was also at this moment that everyone's strength soared!

After just a few breaths, the strength of the soldiers of the entire Apocalypse Empire has at least increased by a small realm!

But for Li Shimin, the powerful national destiny is a boundless poison at this time.

The huge power has doubled the pressure on them!

"This is the fate of the Apocalypse Empire!"

His face was ashen, unbelievable.

He could clearly perceive that the fortunes of the Apocalypse Empire had far surpassed his Datang Empire.

So at this moment, the fighting belief in his heart became stronger.

He encountered the same predicament as Zhu Di.

When he was unable to coexist peacefully with the Apocalypse Empire, and was unable to catch up with the Apocalypse Empire in development, he could only preemptively fight to the death!

The very affectionate "son-in-law" he used to call has already grown into an enemy of the Tang Empire!

"Pass my order! Call the Xuanjia Divine Army to come!"

"Send envoys to various empires and tell them the strength of the Apocalypse Empire!"

Li Shimin has gone all out!

Now the Apocalypse Empire puts too much pressure on him, if that is the case, then he will give it his all!

In the past, he wanted to go to war with the Song Empire in an all-round way.

And now, the target of all-out war has become the Apocalypse Empire!

He doesn't believe that, with the power of the entire Tang Dynasty, uniting all the forces that can be united, it is still impossible to conquer this new Apocalypse Empire!

 …

Apocalypse Empire, Apocalypse City.

Cheng Mu accepted the blessing of the National Fortune, and took the lead back to Tianqi City with the footwork behind the altar.

Since Zhuge Liang went to support Xie Xuan in person, the operation of the country was handed over to Lin Yazhu at this time.

Of course, that's not the point.

After returning to the Apocalypse Empire, the first person he went to meet was Hua Mulan.

His third son was born long ago, but he only has time to visit now.

"His Majesty!"

Seeing Cheng Mu's return, Hua Mulan couldn't help but shed tears.

I haven't seen her for more than a year, and it really hurt her.

"Mulan!"

Cheng Mu rushed forward and hugged her in his arms. He knew that he owed Hua Mulan a lot, so he could only speak comforting words all the time.

However, the movement of the two woke up the child on the bed.

Hearing the cries of wow wah wow, Cheng Mu ran over excitedly.

He gently hugged his son, his face full of love.

After that, he felt boundless guilt and self-blame.

As a father, he did not personally welcome the birth of his son. This is his failure and regret as a father.

"Young master."

Hua Mulan saw his guilt, and comforted him, "My lord is the emperor, and both my concubine and Zhao'er can understand your painstaking efforts."

How can family and country be both at the same time?

"Um."

Cheng Mu promised: "I will make up for you mother and son!"

Hua Mulan took off her military uniform for him. The third son, Cheng Zhao, did not see his father until several months after his birth.

He, Cheng Mu, will definitely make up for all the debts he owes!

"Father! Father!"

At this time, Cheng Rui and Cheng Ling ran in when they heard the movement in the house.

For more than a year, Hua Mulan lived in Li Shishi's Lanxin Palace. It's been so long, thanks to Li Shishi's care.

"Ruier! Linger!"

A smile appeared on Cheng Mu's face. After not seeing each other for more than a year, Cheng Rui and Cheng Ling have grown up a bit.

They were only two years old, but now they looked like seven or eight-year-old children.

Especially Cheng Rui, who already showed a trace of heroism between his brows.

"Daddy is so bad! He hasn't come back for so long!"

As soon as Cheng Rui and Cheng Ling ran in, he hugged Cheng Mu's leg alone, and refused to let go: "We won't let daddy go away again!"

Although Li Shishi taught them very sensible, the relationship between father and son is still so deep.

"well!"

Cheng Mu comforted them ~lightnovelpub.net~ Here, he can shed the heavy responsibilities on his body, abandon his identity as emperor, and enjoy the beauty of home without restraint.

"His Majesty!"

Li Shishi also ran in, with tears in his eyes!

"Don't cry, don't cry! I'm back, please be happier!"

Looking at the tearful people crying into the room, Cheng Mu spoke words to comfort them one by one.

Soon, joy and laughter resumed in Lyceum Palace!

But the second day.

As soon as Cheng Mu walked out of Lanxin Palace, the guards outside the city rushed to report:

"Your Majesty, the Song Empire's envoy is here!"

"Here it is, Xin Qiji!"
