In the end, Zhou Bai chose to accept the Yan family into the Cangshan Alliance after confirming that the Yan family was completely incapacitated.

Of course, this requires the Yan family to pay a lot of price, at least the alliance sends troops for the Yan family and cleans up the aftermath, which requires resource subsidies.

The Yan family handed over most of the clan property in exchange for the protection of the Zhou family and the alliance, seeking a glimmer of hope for continuation, which was the final result.

In addition to the alliance formed by the families near Cangshan and defended themselves against the Jin soldiers under the leadership of Zhou Bai, the rest of Pingcang could be said to sweep the snow in front of each other, and suffered heavy losses.

Because there are too many small groups of golden soldiers over the Cangshan Mountain, they often wander around the county seat, which makes the county soldiers dare not leave the county at will, after all, the defense of the county is the top priority.

Only Ji Hongzhe remembered the key mentioned by Zhou Bai, and he was bitter, and he ignored the obstruction of the county captain and forcefully asked the county soldiers to support the pass.

As for Bei’an County, although it was not threatened by the Jin people, the heavy snow blocked the road and the long supply line made the county soldiers unable to support.

For this reason, in the face of the Haoqiang family organizing a branch of township soldiers to train bravery, the government can only acquiesce.

And how about Cangbei County, the imperial court does not mention it, and Bei’an County will not cross the line.

This provided a favorable opportunity for Zhou Bai to further expand his influence, and he led the township soldiers of the Cangshan Alliance to clear and suppress from the north of the county to the south of the county, and pulled more than a dozen township tribes to join the alliance.

Of course, there are also levels among allies, except for the first few families who are first-class allies of the Zhou family and belong to all-weather strategic alliances.

The rest of the allies were still short of contribution and could not ask for unconditional support from the alliance.

The families in the alliance must break down business barriers, communicate with each other, and the market does not have to pass through the closed county at all.

Zhou Bai even sold a lot of commercial shares, such as high liquor, red mud, soap, perfume, and major families could choose to buy shares and dump them on different business routes.

For a time, the Cangshan Alliance completed the transformation from a military alliance to a comprehensive alliance, and Zhou Bai also gathered a large amount of funds in a short time.

In just one month, the capital reserves of the inner province have exceeded 50,000 taels, which allows him to accelerate the planning of industrial layout, and a large amount of high-grade liquor is dumped to the north of Cangshan.

The last time of the forty-sixth year of Xiangxing was not wonderful, the sudden heavy snowfall and natural disaster swept through the northern territory, not only the Jin Kingdom began to plunder south, but other border states also had conflicts and frictions with their northern neighbors.

At the same time, various natural disasters began to occur in the inland states, and Guangnan Prefecture, which had not snowed for a thousand years, ushered in a heavy snowy winter, which was only the most common one.

Most prefectures and counties were plagued by droughts, floods, and earthquakes, and Qin Tianjian’s predictions of celestial phenomena were completely incorrect.

In this kind of disaster-stricken situation, the response of the Daxu imperial court was as slow as a snail, and the central imperial court had no means of response, and some only empowered local prefectures and counties to deal with it cheaply.

But such a second-tier border county like Bei’an is still good to say, but Cangbei County, which is on the front line of the war, can no longer support it.

There were not enough supplies for food transportation, and the border army soldiers could not hold out in the city, and gradually, the border army who opened the city gate and surrendered appeared.

This is a very rare situation for the Daxu border army, because they come from the Celestial Empire and have their own pride.

They fought with these steppe barbarians for an unknown number of times, accumulated a deep blood feud, and now they were defeated by hunger.

The situation in the northern territory has never been so sinister, just because the Son of Heaven is seriously ill, the Daxu Dynasty, which has lasted for more than three hundred years, has actually had a tendency to change dynasties.

Fortunately, the Gungun princes on the court are not waste, and before the New Year has passed, the heavy snow stops, and the imperial court will come up with a complete set of countermeasures.

Inland prefectures and counties can say that it is enough to open the national treasury for disaster relief, but for border states such as Dingzhou, which have been invaded, they must be careful to deal with it.

The imperial court’s counterattack against the Jin State was very vicious, and the Xiangxing Tianzi, who barely supported the sick body, summoned Hu Yanhe, the Marquis of Yin Mountain of the Jin State who lived in Shenjing, and issued an edict appointing him as the new head of the Jin State.

At the same time, he clearly decreed the whole world, reprimanded the current prince of the Jin State Jianguo as an unworthy descendant, poisoned the former Jin State lord, and prevented foreign ministers from entering the palace to see him, which was an unfaithful, unfilial and unrighteous person.

Hu Yanhe, who took the holy decree, entered Cangbei County under the escort of the 3,000 Great Xu Forbidden Army, and raised the banner of the Lord of the Jin Kingdom in Cangbei County.

He wanted to recruit the original old army in Cangbei County, recruit the army that invaded the Jin Kingdom going south, and recruit the courtier generals within the Jin State who were dissatisfied with his eldest brother.

In short, according to the etiquette system, the Jin Kingdom is a vassal state of Daxu, and now Huyanhe has the Son of Heaven canonized, and he is the orthodox Jin State.

At this time, the Jin country is unstable, an old country master, a prison country, and a new country lord, who should the golden people listen to.

Then Hu Yanhe did not wait for the Jin army to enter Cangbei to fight, and turned around and dragged the old department deep into the grassland, he wanted to buy time for Daxu to sort out the border and lure away the Jin army that had gone south to plunder.

Some people may laugh and be used as a knife by the Daxu court, but I don’t know how long he waited before he had the opportunity to be used as a knife.

It is precisely because of the various means of the imperial court, as well as the opening of warehouses and disaster relief, that after the forty-six years of auspicious prosperity, the world has returned to some calm.

After all, the Xiangxing Emperor, who has been sitting on the dragon chair for forty-six years, has not died, after all, there are no real anti-thieves in the world who have really rebelled, and everything seems to be in a controllable state.

However, an even more bizarre natural disaster swept the world.

On January 15, Zhou Bai was explaining to Yu Yuejun about the family’s affairs, because he was leaving home for the exam again, this time to Shenjing, and he needed to prepare plenty of time to rush.

In the quiet study, some people read to the moonlight at night, and some people added fragrance to their red sleeves.

Zhou Bai held the Dao Sutra and seemed to inadvertently ask the Yi people who were studying ink next to him: “Why, are those scattered cultivators still unwilling to become worshippers of my clan?” ”

“Alas, our channels for collecting spirit stones and spirit objects are still not enough, and we can’t come up with the resource conditions to make their hearts move, but Brother Bo, I have already selected a few seedlings for the cultivation of Dao seeds you said.”

Yu Yuejun glanced at the Dao Sutra in Zhou Bai’s hand, and the corners of his mouth curved.

It is clear that the Dao has surpassed me, and I am still studying like this, and I am not afraid to enter the Dao in advance.

Zhou Bai bowed his head slightly: “Well, the Yan line should be cultivated, and the thugs of the external department must also be available, but it doesn’t matter, when I am named on the gold list, they will naturally take the initiative to come to the door.” ”

Tongjinshi does not say, for the imperial court, he has a lot of resources.

Jin Shi has the hope of eternal life, and on the road in the future, it is worth serving them casually.

“The basic Dharma Array needs too many spirit stones, it’s better to reduce the area covered by some Dharma Array first, I think it’s enough to protect the vicinity of the ancestral hall.”

Yu Yuejun thought about it and gave her own suggestions.

During this time, she had been following Zhou Bai’s request, secretly expanding the Guardian Formation, and almost all the spirit stones collected by various industries were filled in.

“No, the Dharma Array must exist, this is related to the family foundation, rest assured, there will be no shortage of spirit stones.”

Zhou Bai glanced in the direction of Cangshan and said very firmly.

He recently read the imperial court newspaper and felt that the frequent natural disasters in various places were really wrong, and this endless calamity almost permeated the entire world.

Yu Yuejun also wanted to refute, building a Dharma Array wasted manpower and material resources, the key is what kind of crisis is necessary to use this kind of Dharma Array, is it not several Daoist priests knocking on the door?

“But those spirit stones can be freed up, and those few Dao species in the clan…”

Suddenly, the two of them felt at the same time that the spiritual energy between heaven and earth suddenly became furious, and the cool night breeze instantly blew out the candle flames in the room, and there were many commotions outside.

Zhou Bai and Yu Yuejun hurriedly walked out of the house, and the sky that was originally full of stars became dull, and the starlight dimmed, as if the heavens and the earth fell into a dead silence.

Just before they could figure out what the situation was, the moon that had been hiding in the clouds for a long time poked its head out, and the boundless blood-red moon covered the earth, which was definitely not a normal moon!

“Bloody moon, a harbinger of great calamity.”

Zhou Bai’s heart pounded, and he whispered silently in his mouth.

“Yuejun, immediately open the magic array, block the moonlight, and let everyone stay at home and not go out!”

The eager and serious tone made Yu Yuejun have no time to ask at all, and turned his head and went straight to the ancestral hall, where the array eye was.

At the same time, the sound of crisp majesty, wrapped in mana, resounded all the way.

“The patriarch has an order, everyone closes the doors and windows, is not allowed to go out, is not allowed to look directly at the moon, and those who violate the order will be severely punished!”

Zhou Bai used his soul power to protect his whole body, and he squinted his eyes and looked up at the blood moon, where there seemed to be some truth.

The first collision of the two worlds was the power of chaos in the other world with the help of the Taiyin Star.

Yike~

Without waiting for Zhou Bai to ponder, another wave of abnormalities appeared in the sky, and meteors with dark red blood pierced the sky, as if they were bringing ominousness to the world.

Sure enough, if you don’t play cards according to memory, the beginning of the world catastrophe, there are not so many outsiders coming.
