It took several hours to deal with all the mess outside the Yuanlian world.
Zong Shoucai, together with Feng Taiji and others who came to the outer realm out of curiosity to see what was going on, returned to Yuanlian Realm.
Only Ao Kun and Ao Yi did not accompany him, and still stayed outside the territory with Zong Shou's demon-proofing shuttle.
At this time, the ship battle in the boundary river has completely ended.
After several hours of fierce fighting, one of the Taiyi Divine Thunder Ships under Shi Ruolan was sunk. Three ships had minor damage and needed repairs.
But in the end, the prisoners made an emergency landing of six cold crystal shadow blade ships.
This increased the number of dedicated immortal-level battleships to fifteen.
In addition, in a few months, the Asura clan will send ten Taiyi divine thunder ships.
Daqianxian Dynasty's extraterritorial fleet division will have a total scale of twenty-five ships, and its strength will take shape.
Although he is still weak, he cannot be ignored!
It can effortlessly suppress the surrounding areas of Yuanlian World.
In the Yuanlian world, the battle has entered the final stage. At this time, on the border, people are being chased and fleeing everywhere. One after another, large armies are marching towards the east. Attack the city and pull out the ground, the momentum is like breaking bamboo.
The Nine Capitals Immortal Court in the Outer Territory was defeated, and the Xuanling Order and the Jijue Immortal Court also suffered heavy losses.
It will probably be a little later when people in the industry know this information.
However, it can be clearly felt that as time goes by, most of the countries in the east gradually lose their military morale and become panicked.
There are many examples of surrender without a fight.
The most critical battle of Moyang City has already come to an end.
The earth-level Taoist soldiers of Jiudu Immortal Court. Almost everyone was wiped out. The commander had no choice but to use a million troops to contain and resist the five hundred Yiling Demon Slayers.
However, the Xuanhu Iron Cavalry, commanded by Zhuang Yu himself, forcibly defeated the Chinese army from the front and joined forces with horse and foot.
Then 40,000 Tiangang sword soldiers pressed forward from behind, establishing victory in one fell swoop.
However, after that, although the coalition forces from the east were clearly defeated, they still struggled to hold on for a long time.
Until news from the outer realm. Sent back to the cloud world. Only then did the millions of troops completely collapse.
Zhuang Yu's words addressed the enemy's commander. Highly rated.
"This man is an unparalleled general. He has the same strength and the same conditions. He fights on the frontal battlefield. I am not his enemy."
Although he was complimenting the other party, there was also a hint of pride.
Just talking about the frontal battlefield killing, it is obvious that Zhuang Yu only thinks that this person is better than him.
Tactically inferior to the opponent, but strategically superior to the opponent.
With the same force and under the same conditions, if you are not the enemy, then you can just not give the opponent a fair chance to fight.
Zong Shou secretly laughed, but Zhuang Yu said this. He also became particularly concerned about this general of Jiudu Immortal Court.
It can make Zhuang Yu even think that he is fighting head-on on the battlefield. Can't win.
Even with such a disadvantage, he was still able to support himself for four or five hours.
This person's ability to command troops can naturally be imagined.
And unparalleled generals, no matter where they are placed, are extremely scarce resources.
According to Zhuang Yu. After the situation became irreversible, the general of Jiudu Immortal Court simply chose to surrender without any persuasion and was captured by himself.
Also surrendering at the same time were the three major forces of Jiudu Immortal Court. There are a total of 140,000 Xuanhuang second-level Taoist soldiers.
Unlike heaven-level and earth-level Taoist soldiers, they generally have forbidden magic in them, making it difficult to complete the transformation. It is basically impossible to convert minor skills.
It would be much easier to turn the Xuan-level and Huang-level Taoist soldiers into your own use.
There are forbidden techniques, but they are not unsolvable. The minor skill can also be easily modified.
Even though the vast majority of people still remain loyal to the forces they originally belonged to. It can also be resold to slave traders in foreign lands in exchange for resources and money.
These people who have been selling slaves and cultivators all year round have their own methods to control them.
This is the default convention in this area, and Zong Shou has no intention of being new and different.
He has kindness in his heart, but he only treats his relatives and people, and will not give charity to his enemies.
Leaving them alive and not treating them harshly would be regarded as an act of kindness.
140,000 Dao soldiers!
Zong Shou was slightly pleasantly surprised. Even if there were only Xuanjie and Huangjie among them, and there were only 20,000 Xuanjie people, it was still a considerable amount of wealth.
What concerned him even more was the lack of commanders for the more than 100,000 Taoist soldiers.
This man was in his thirties, tall and strong, and his demeanor was calm.
Even when he was detained and brought before Zong Shou, his expression remained calm without any change.
Zong Shou looked at this person up and down, feeling surprised in his heart.
There are very few unparalleled generals in this domain. Famous generals who can not only command thousands of armies but also elevate their cultivation to the realm of gods are even rarer.
"I just heard that when you were captured, you told Zhuang Yu that you were willing to work for me?"
"That's right!"
Na Lie Que bowed to him and said, "I see that there are very few generals under the king's command. Lie Que is willing to recommend himself to serve the king as a dog and horse, and to fight in foreign lands."
Zong Shou smiled. Speaking of generals, there were actually quite a few in the Daqian Immortal Dynasty.
The talented commanders include Kong Yao and Zhuang Yu, both of whom can be called military gods. Qiu Wei is also a veteran general and a wise general, who can act alone.
Zong Yuan and Ren Tianxing are also unparalleled generals who can push forward to the top.
If people like Hu Zhongyuan and Chai Zhou grow up, they will be extraordinary.
But the vast majority of them are used in the fundamental area of the cloud world.
In the Yuanlian world, the only people Da Gan can use are Zhuang Yu and Guixuan who surrendered a few years ago.
Because the matter involved his old master, Zong Shou didn't even dare to entrust him with important tasks this time. Even Zhuang Yu, who had gradually felt that he could not support himself not long ago, did not recommend that this person regain military power.
This man is not an unparalleled general, but on the battlefield, his ability to make decisions on the spot is only inferior to that of Zhuang Yu.
After this battle, it can be used with confidence.
But Zong Shou still had few qualified leading generals.
It would be a great surprise if this Liequ was really willing to work for him.
This person is definitely different from Zong Yuan and others, he is just a potential stock. Didn't really grow up.
As a monk in the divine realm, he must have experienced many wars in the outer realm in the past thousand years.
Zong Yuan Zhuang Yu's understanding of foreign expeditions is far beyond what Zong Yuan and others can match, and even surpasses Zong Shou.
Once he surrenders, he will immediately become a capable general.
He was inexplicably happy in his heart, but Zong Shou's expression remained reserved. Don't show any signs of it.
"It is said that Liu Muchen spent seven years recruiting General Lie. As an emperor, he lowered his dignity and personally recruited him. He used all kinds of means. But General Lie surrendered so readily today, and he felt sorry for the old man. Lord?"
"A good bird chooses a tree to roost in. If Liu Muchen was the famous master, why would he spend seven years serving the Nine Capitals Immortal Court? He had no choice but to be forced to do so. The so-called means, in addition to courtesy to the virtuous and corporal, include forcing each other with power and affection. Hold on."
Na Lie Que said expressionlessly, and he could see the displeasure gradually showing in Zong Shou's eyes, but he still did not change it.
Someone who betrayed his old master without any thought and even slandered him. Which king would it be? Neither will like it.
But he had always been like this, and he just didn't like Liu Muchen. There is no need to deliberately hide or say anything nice for the old master.
Some things can be found out just by looking them up.
"Liequ today. He has fought to the end for the Nine Capitals Immortal Court. He has tried his best and has a clear conscience. Can't he be buried with the Nine Capitals Immortal Court just for a little favor? And the king is doing great things, and the country is getting stronger and stronger, like the rising sun. Ascend. If Lieque can be effective, he will definitely be able to win the king. Finally, it is a good tree to live in—"
Zong Shou was hesitant at this moment. Previously, he was overjoyed that this man had surrendered. At this time, after listening to Lieque's words, he hesitated a little more.
If this person treats his late master like this, what will happen to his clan
Lie Que seemed to be aware of it, his eyes were slightly dim and he said: "Li Que knows that if he doesn't surrender in this battle, he will either be imprisoned for life or be tortured to death. Neither of them is what I want, and I will surrender in the end." Return to the king. If this is the case, why do you need to be pretentious?"
He added: "The guilty minister cannot guarantee that he will always be loyal to the emperor. But he will definitely fulfill his duties and do everything he can to fulfill the emperor's entrustment."
Zong Shou raised his eyebrows, then laughed. Are you conscientious? This is actually enough.
It is unrealistic to expect everyone to be loyal to him.
With the decision made in his heart, Zong Shou no longer hesitated.
"With General Lie joining us, I will make great efforts in the country. I will surely reach a higher level. How about asking General Lie to serve as the temporary commander-in-chief of the right army?"
Dagan was divided into five armies, front, rear, left, right and center, with the capital inspection point as the chief officer.
The post of governor is only inferior to that of the governor. Zhuang Yu once held this position after he surrendered.
Lieque is different from others. He has already proven himself on the battlefield and is a famous general that everyone respects.
Therefore, if he is directly appointed to the post of metropolitan inspection, others will not have objections.
But Zong Shou still wanted to see what kind of person he was and whether he could really be entrusted with important tasks.
However, Lie Que did not hesitate and bowed down to accept the order: "I am deeply grateful, and I will not disappoint you."
Zong Shou still had countless matters to deal with at this time.
To take over the countries of the Yuanlian Realm, a large army must be prepared to continue conquering the surrounding world.
It is even more necessary to allocate military power to capture part of the territory of Jiudu Immortal Court.
It can be said that there are so many things to worry about, that I am so busy that I want to cut myself in half.
Less than a moment after meeting with Lieque, or even having a deep conversation, Zong Shou had no choice but to send this newly minted right army commander away.
But before leaving, Lieque reminded him: "I heard that your commander also captured Yi Lingsu, the commander-in-chief of Jiudu Immortal Courtyard? This person is extraordinary. If possible, it would be best for you to capture him." Please persuade this person to surrender."
Zong Shou was stunned. He had also seen the capabilities of the Commander-in-Chief of the Jiudu Xianting Ship Master.
Not as talented as Ruolan, but this person is not much different. With his rich experience, he dealt with Shi Ruolan.
At one point, Daqian's dozens of airships were unable to fight back.
But what Li Que actually meant was that he had better put some effort into specifically persuading him to surrender
Why is this necessary
Then he heard Lieque say again: "This man comes from a family of weapon masters, and his family holds great power in Jiudu Immortal Court. Almost all the weapon masters in Jiudu Immortal Court who can refine the cold crystal shadow blade ship are under his control. More Due to his long-term military service, his reputation is extremely high. If he recruits this person, Jiudu Immortal Court's remaining fifty cold crystal shadow blade ships can attract at least ten!" RQ
