"Be adventurous. In fact, Nanfeng Yunlu may not be the place that must be saved!"
Kong Yao pondered and said: "I, Dagan, still have an army of 300,000 in Nanfeng. A month ago, we have recruited millions of warriors, and we can still sustain it for a while. If we can take advantage of the civil strife in Dachang at this time, the whole army will be able to survive." When we take the Central Plains, we only need to devote some effort to deal with the Shi family's 700,000-strong army. But what worries me is that Shi Yue's methods should not stop there."
"To resist my Da Gan, Shi Yue naturally cannot use this method."
The one who spoke at this time was Zhang Huai who was walking in the air. He had been hiding in Jiuchi Palace to watch the battle, but now the army had won, so he ran out and happened to hear the words of the two men.
"Don't forget that his father Shi Qianli is now General Dingnan and Governor of Subeizhou. He controls one continent and seven provinces, and nearly 200,000 troops!"
Zong Shou and Kong Yao looked at each other, but they didn't know about this matter. The latter's face showed even more solemnity.
Shi Qianli
The Shi family was one of the only five wealthy families among the great merchants, and was feared by Emperor Yuan Chen. Therefore, he has been working as a subordinate for many years, and his reputation is not obvious.
However, Kong Yao had heard of this man. His military skills were by no means inferior to Fei Yin's, and he was even more powerful.
There have long been legends among the Northern Wilderness Army. Feiyin as commander could make the northern barbarians retreat in defeat, but Shi Qianli as commander could make those tribes not dare to invade the south.
"It's just Governor Su Beizhou, with only 200,000 troops. The great merchant is marching south, and I'm afraid he has already reduced all his elite troops—"
"However, there is another Shiyoshi!"
Zhang Huai shook his head and said: "The world under the jurisdiction of Shiyue is different from the Daqian Immortal Dynasty on the king's side. It is surrounded by enemies, and it is necessary to guard against the shadow demons and night demons. It is impossible to return with only 700,000 people this time. It's just an army. The key is the Baisheng Pass and the Yangtze River!"
Zong Shou only thought about it briefly and understood what Zhang Huai meant.
Baishenguan is located to the east of Dashang and to the west of western Zhejiang. It is close to Ganxizhou and has a dangerous terrain. It guards the southeastern key point.
As long as there are enough troops to block this place, even if there are tens of millions of soldiers, it will be difficult to break through.
As for the Yangtze River, in this water system of the Great Shang Dynasty, the situation is reversed from that of the Min River. The fleets of the great merchants there were at their peak, but as for the great merchants, they were completely blank.
Even at its narrowest point, the Yangtze River reaches more than 40,000 feet. Without the cover of the naval division, it would be almost impossible for the army to cross the river.
As the governor of Su Beizhou, Shi Qianli also had the right to mobilize the strength of the fleet division.
Does a strong man cut off his wrist? Completely abandon the five continents in the south, gather millions of troops and horses, and guard the key point of Baisheng Pass, thereby protecting the remaining territories of Dashang.
This is what Shi Yue said, a general needs to know the way to choose, right
"It's still the same problem as before."
Kong Yao shook his head and said: "That Shi Qianli is just the governor of Subeizhou, with limited powers! He can't control the western Zhejiang area. Even if Shi Yue rescues Yin Yu and gets the imperial edict from Emperor Yuanchen, he can take charge of the southeastern war. At this time, he will be transferred Soldiers also need time. There is a vast plain in the south, and I attack with cavalry. There is nothing that can be done for those thousands of miles."
"Just give the order beforehand!"
Seeing Zong Shou and Kong Yao, they were both stunned. Zhang Huai said with a smile: "Given the current situation of Emperor Yuan Chen, he has no intention to care about these things. Instead, he has to rely on them. Moreover, this matter is of great benefit to the Shi family. You said that Shi Qianli Don’t you dare? The Central Plains aristocratic families are all famous for being domineering and bold!”
Kong Yao was horrified, and then she realized that her way of life and thinking were completely different from those of those aristocratic families.
At that time, I was a general in Shang Dynasty. I was very loyal and would never dare to violate His Majesty's orders. I regarded them as imperial edicts.
However, these aristocratic families are different. In their own fiefdoms, they can even ignore the national laws.
No one else can do this kind of thing. As the head of the Shi family, Shi Qianli felt no pressure at all. Nor will he be afraid of the opinions of Emperor Yuan Chen.
If that were the case, that would be really troublesome.
"Actually, it's a good thing. It's like a snake swallowing an image. Even if I can swallow it, I will have to face more troubles. If I don't do it right, my belly will burst. It's better to lay a solid foundation after this battle and make plans again. ! The land south of the Yangtze River is also rich. It is a land of fish and rice. The grain output is several times higher than that of other places. It is also densely populated. The Lingshi mine is only inferior to Huizhou. The taxation accounts for almost half of the country of Dashang. The income is equivalent to seven In Tianfang Realm, because corruption is rife and it is controlled by those aristocratic families, most of the annual income goes into private pockets. Although the martial arts here is slightly weaker, it can complement the east and south. If it is managed well, it can be I will unify the cloud world with an unshakable foundation!"
As if worried that Zong Shou and Kong Yao would not give in, Zhang Huai kept talking.
However, Zong Shou always felt disappointed. In fact, being able to swallow these five continents safely was an extremely satisfying and great joy for him.
No matter in the past or in the future, these five southern continents are the essence of the Cloud Realm and the tax-rich areas!
All it takes is a wave of demonic atmosphere to eliminate all the accumulated disadvantages. Just these five continents, in a few years, will definitely surpass Donglin Yunlu by a lot. It is not a problem to support tens of millions of troops without resorting to military force.
But at this time, his mind was no longer here.
"The country of Daqian has become powerful, and there is no need to take risks. After this battle, you can order Tianxing to command 800,000 elite troops to rush to Nanfeng Yunlu to take charge. The rest of the troops will be commanded by Concubine Yao and assisted by Zhang Huai. Defeat the Minhe River. After the Northern Shang Army, he is responsible for conquering the Central Plains! He has the power to make decisions on the fly—"
Both Kong Yao and Zhang Huaidu leaned over to answer the order. Although there were thousands of merchants and tens of thousands of soldiers in the north of the Min River, they did not pay attention to them.
Without Taoist soldiers to support them, we only need to use iron cavalry to cut off their retreat and cut off their food and grass.
In ten days at most, this 16 million army will collapse.
Zong Shou gave them the right to make decisions on the fly, for the sake of the Shi family.
If the Baisheng Pass is really blocked by the Shi family, they will be able to stop the great merchants from several continents south. But if not, then there is no need to be polite.
As for Nanfeng Yunlu, the Shi family's 700,000-strong army is not enough to pose a threat. The four million martial arts spiritual masters Qiu Wei had recruited were being organized and trained.
Only Nanfeng Yunlu can stabilize and suppress the rebellious cities. Then it will take at most three months to stabilize.
If Shi Yue is wiser, he should leave early.
"The blood cloud cavalry will be expanded to 50,000, try to recruit six-level experts, and train 30,000 black fox cavalry in the cloud world. In addition, you can select elites from all the armies!"
A sharp light appeared in Zong Shou's eyes: "Issue an edict to destroy the demons! Order the warriors in the world to hunt down the disciples of the demon sect. If you kill a disciple of the ninth level, you will be rewarded with an eighth level spiritual stone. The higher the cultivation level, the higher the reward, Daqian The library can also be opened. As long as you kill more than a hundred people, you can choose one of the seventh-level martial arts and spiritual techniques in the library and copy them. This time, I want to wipe out all the demons!"
Mainly martial arts. Zong Shou was outside this time and he really picked up a lot of martial arts spiritual techniques.
Mainly, a small half of the inheritance of the Jiudu Immortal Dynasty fell into his hands. Also, during the Nine Jue Death Prison, the nearly two hundred immortal cultivators each had their own inheritance, and many of them had top magical powers.
There are eighth-level earth-piercing, ninth-level heaven-shaking, and even tenth-level holy spirits.
Zong Shou naturally looked down upon it, but to those casual cultivators in the Yun Realm who had scarce resources, it was extremely precious. If you miss this time, it will not be so easy to find the ultimate skill in the future.
Kong Yao and Zhang Huai were not surprised. At the beginning, the Taoist sect had done something similar, but Zong Shou went to the middle of the country that day and massacred thirty-seven sects in a row.
It has already been seen that the hostility in Zong Shou's chest has been deep-rooted. It is extremely difficult to endure it until now.
But at this time, there is no need to endure it anymore. The Taoist soldiers of the Demon Sect were almost exhausted at this time.
Except for the strong men in the Holy Realm who can contain one or two, the Demon Sect has no power to fight against Da Gan. Those spiritual mansions, spiritual mountains, and holy places were just like lambs being slaughtered, ready to be slaughtered.
But if this happens, the troops will be divided again. After taking Baisheng Pass down, we continued to peek at the land southwest of Dashang. From the upper reaches of the Yangtze River, the possibility of entering the Central Plains became a little smaller.
However, firstly, the possibility is extremely small, and secondly, we know that Zong Shou has made up his mind at this time and cannot be dissuaded. So they all remained silent and did not speak. He only had some objections to the reward offered by Zong Shou.
"Your Majesty, I don't have many spiritual stones, so I need to raise an army. It is better to focus on open martial arts spiritual methods, Your Majesty's conditions are also lower. Those who kill hundreds of demon disciples can choose the seventh-level martial arts spiritual methods. The eighth level requires at least a thousand people, or at least ten spiritual realm demon cultivators. The ninth level requires ten fairy realm—"
The magic method is so special that it can be detected in corpses, so you are not afraid of fraud! "
Zong Shou raised his eyebrows, not commenting, but it was already his acquiescence.
At this time, everyone outside the Sky Territory gradually settled down. With the power of the three sects of Hedao, Demonic Confucianism, and the infinite sky and forbidden area, the magic and forbidden formation was evacuated long ago.
And those spiritual thoughts that reached the realm no longer filled the void.
The clouds above the battlefield parted, and wisps of sunlight shone down. The private Taoist soldiers of those aristocratic families had been completely defeated by the Blood Cloud Cavalry led by Zong Yuan. By this time, there was no resistance left and they had to surrender.
Zong Shou looked into the void with cold eyes. Although those people were gone, those thoughts still locked him firmly and lingered around him.
A trace of malice rushed over.
Zong Shou sneered, not afraid. If these people in the realm don't take action personally, they can't crush him with just their divine thoughts!
While Zong was watching the sky, the soldiers on the battlefield below were looking at him.
As the yin power of the yin-yang nail needle dissipated, the white column of air disappeared without a trace. Xiaori also put away his unicorn shape and lay on Zong Shou's shoulder with a lazy expression.
But at this time, under the sunlight, the white jade imperial chariot was surrounded by colorful spiritual lights, still looking extremely sacred.
"Holy King!"
One person knelt down, and hundreds of thousands of people on the battlefield also knelt down.
"Long live the Holy King!"
"I am invincible in every attack and invincible in every battle!"
A sound like a roaring mountain came rolling in like a tsunami. Zhang Huai smiled and bowed solemnly: "If the name is not correct, the words will not be correct. I invite your majesty to proclaim himself emperor!"
