One week after that.
Kyushu collapsed completely.
From Dandong County to Northeastern Prefecture, the White Robe Kingdom immediately expanded in all directions like a wild dog running off its leash.
In just five days, Liaoyang County, Fengtian County, Dandong County, Tonghua County, and Tieling County were connected. It completely tore a hole in the door of Kyushu.
Occupied across the board. Extremely cruel.
Every time they arrived at a county, the rebels broke through the city and slaughtered half of it. Those who surrender will not be killed. But no county surrendered. Almost every county is resisting fiercely. The army and the people are united, and the people also go to the towers to resist foreign enemies.
After Five Points and One Line, the White Robe Kingdom stopped expanding. The territory began to be reorganized, and then Baipao began to transport supplies within the country, with food and grass going first.
…
Again, a week later.
The combined forces of the Seventh Route Army did not break any city occupied by the Rakshasa Kingdom.
Under the command of Elmer, the Rakshasa Army expanded its territory to the rear and consolidated resources. Successively captured Baicheng County, Songyuan County, Changchun County, and Daqing County.
Instead, seven points and one line are connected from one point to form a surface.
Previously, an army of 300,000 people occupied a point in Chifeng County and was not repulsed. As a result, one point radiated to three points, and the three points and one line were monolithic.
The result has not been won yet. Then the three points spread to the rear, and the seven points connected into a line. With one vicious bite, a leg was ripped off from Northeastern State.
Then, the transportation route between Rakshasa Kingdom and Northeastern State was opened, and a steady stream of supplies began to be transported from Rakshasa Kingdom. The new force has also arrived.
The Seventh Route Army was almost desperate!
At this point, Northeastern State fell.
Kyushu is missing one state.

"Cough cough cough"
An ox cart pulling dry firewood was moving quietly along the path. A thin young man was huddled in a warm place wrapped in a quilt and coughing.
"How far is it to the nearest town?"
The old man pulling the cart said angrily: "Why are you in such a hurry, you medicine gourd? It's enough if I can take you hand in hand into the city, but you still ask? Still ask? But do you take what you say seriously? What if I send you to the city?" , will you give me one thousand Kyushu coins?"
Li Zhen smiled bitterly: "Don't say one thousand, I'm afraid someone will give it to you even if it's a million Kyushu coins."
"Hahaha, one million Kyushu coins? You are making me laugh. One million Kyushu coins can be used to build a house built with money. Do you think you are Li Zhen?"
Li Zhen didn't say anything. He didn't dare to reveal his identity at will now. He had no idea about the situation in the outside world. He didn't know whether he was within the scope of the imperial court, or whether the imperial court wanted to kill him. He didn't dare to reveal his identity at will, he just wanted to enter a city as soon as possible, find the Ma Group's stronghold and return to Dongzhou.
"Anyway, someone must give you money. I am the child of a wealthy family, so you don't need to worry about this."
"I believe you are a ghost. You are dressed in rags and you are still a sick man. Do you belong to a wealthy family? Are you making fun of me for not going to school? Hahahaha. Stop bragging. , I don’t expect a thousand coins, you can just give me dozens or hundreds.”
"Haha, a thousand coins means a thousand coins. I just need you to hurry up, I have something big going on."
"Hahaha, troubled by big things? Do you think you are Li Zhen?"
Li Zhen was stunned, and tried not to arouse suspicion by asking: "I always hear you talk about the number one scholar, what's wrong with Li Zhen? Did he make such a big fuss?"
"Hey, don't tell me yet, this Li Zhen is really serious. Now the entire Kyushu is looking for him."
"Oh? What are you doing with him?"
"Wars are raging everywhere. The Rakshasa Kingdom has invaded the Northeastern States, and it seems that the White Robe Kingdom is also preparing to attack the Kyushu. Now the Kyushu is torn apart, and there is a lack of a person in charge. All forces are looking for Li Zhen to let him go back to take charge. But let me see , I guess Li Zhen should be dead."
Li Zhen stared: "Has Rakshasa Kingdom invaded Kyushu?"
"That's not true. It is said that the battle was extremely tragic, and the people who died... Oh, I went to the city a few days ago, and I heard from the businessmen in the city that thousands of people died. But more than 600,000 Rakshasa people were killed."
Li Zhen's eyes were full of doubts, thousands of people died? Thousands of people killed more than 600,000 Rakshasa soldiers
Thousands of people
It was immediately clear that this old man was just bragging.
It seems that the exact news over there has not reached Zhongzhou yet.
However, Li Zhen felt a little nervous. The Rakshasa Kingdom invaded Kyushu at this time. In theory, it should have been fully prepared before coming. Then... the movement shouldn't be too small.
"Please, old man, hurry up and hurry up."
"Humph, I'm very valuable. What should I do if I'm exhausted? Unless you can give me two hundred coins now, if you give me two hundred coins, I'll speed up."
"I don't have two hundred coins now. As long as you take me into the city, there will be plenty of people to give you money."
"I don't believe you."
"well."
Li Zhen sighed and coughed violently again. He felt that he was getting weaker and weaker recently, and he fainted when entering the venue. This is probably not far from death, right
Even if he is going to die, even if it really cannot be cured. However, please let yourself live until Dongzhou and explain everything that needs to be explained.
Li Zhen is not afraid of death, but wants to live a little longer.
At this moment, several fast horses came from behind. Before the horses arrived, the voice came first: "The bullock cart in front, move to the side. Quick, move to the side."
"Get out of the way quickly!"
“…”
When the old man heard the shouting, he didn't even bother to look back. He was so frightened that he quickly smacked his butt and hid aside.
He can't afford to offend Grandpa Soldier.
'Da da da'
The fast horse neighs.
Li Zhen took a look at the clothes and saw that they were imperial soldiers. His heart tightened and he quickly covered his face with a quilt.
He didn't know the specific situation of the outside world, although the old man said that the court also had a decree to find Li Zhen. But Li Zhen was worried that Xun Jiayuan was stupid and wanted to kill him. If he was intercepted and killed by the imperial army on the way, he would be wronged.
It was okay for Li Zhen not to cover his face, but once he covered his face, he immediately aroused the suspicion of the passing Bing Jia.
A soldier just passed by and just glanced at it. He immediately became suspicious, reined in his horse and shouted: "What do you do?"
When the old man saw Grandpa Bing actually stopping to ask questions, he was so frightened that he knelt on the ground and said with tears in his eyes: "I am a villager in Huilong Village. I just pull firewood into the city."
The soldier pointed his reins at Li Zhen, who was covered by a quilt: "Who is this?"
"yes… "
Alas, there is no way to escape.
Li Zhen didn't give the old man a chance to talk nonsense, lifted the quilt, and got up with a calm expression. He looked at these soldiers calmly.
Several soldiers came back from their positions and looked at Li Zhen suspiciously. The more they looked at him, the more familiar he looked.
Suddenly, a soldier's face changed wildly, and he murmured: "He is less than 1.7 meters tall and as skinny as a monkey... This appearance is exactly the same as what was drawn on the drawing."
"ah!"
"Who are you… "
Several soldiers jumped off their horses and looked at Li Zhen in shock. The leader murmured: "I dare to ask you..."
"Li Zhen."
Li Zhen looked calm. I felt nervous, not knowing whether it was a blessing or a curse.
"Li Zhen!"
"Dean Li, it's really Dean Li!"
"Hahaha, found it!"
"Found it, finally found it!"
"Hurry, go back to Yangling and report to the main flag. We have found Dean Li."
"Dean Li, you are not dead. I found you. I finally found you. Hahaha."
“…”
The old man driving the oxcart looked at Li Zhen in shock and exclaimed: "You lied to me! You are Li Zhen! You are the person that all the nine states are looking for. Are you not dead? Ah, I... I actually told you If you go all the way, you can brag about it for half a lifetime."
The leader of Bingjia's eyes were red, and he grabbed Li Zhen's hand: "We finally found you. Heaven will never destroy Kyushu."
Seeing this scene, Li Zhen finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Not a disaster.
"Cough cough cough,"
Li Zhen covered his chest and coughed violently. He smiled and said to the old man, "I didn't lie to you. I sent you to the city and gave you one million coins. Let's go and take you to get the money."
The old man was flattered and frightened. He waved his hands quickly: "No, no, no. I won't take the money. If you had said you were Dean Li, we would have used the only horse in the village." , I’ll take you to the city quickly. I won’t ask for a penny.”
"You don't want any money? Hey, this doesn't look like you, old man."
Li Zhen joked.
The old man said seriously: "People in the city say that people in Kyushu are looking for you everywhere, and they have blocked the Weihe and Yangtze rivers just to find you. They say that you can save the world."
Li Zhen smiled bitterly: "Save the world? That's an exaggeration."
After waiting for about half an hour, I felt the ground begin to shake.
'Woooooo'
The long-lost steam whistle sounded, followed by the sound of horse hooves.
The few soldiers standing next to Li Zhen and the old man driving the bullock cart were all frightened and stood blankly by the roadside.
A moment later, a flood of troops came quickly. Dongzhou Army, a mixed force of imperial troops. It turned out to be over 10,000.
These are all people stationed in this area looking for Li Zhen.
"Dean Li!"
"We found Dean Li."
"It's really Dean Li."
"Hahahaha, finally found it."
"It's saved now. It's saved."
"We all know that you are not dead and have been found."
"Quick, Dean Li, get in the car."
“…”
More than 10,000 people looked up to the sky and shouted, and there was a lot of discussion. Before Li Zhen boarded the steam train, he looked back and said with a smile: "You really don't want to come with me to get the money?"
The old man shook his head: "Not a cent!"
"Hahaha... cough cough cough."
Li Zhen wiped his mouth and got into the warm steam car. The troops immediately turned around and turned back.
But I heard the old man driving the cattle on the roadside shout: "You just lied to me again."
Li Zhen stuck his head out of the car window: "Where did I lie to you again?"
The old man looked at Li Zhen seriously and said, "You can really save the world. You didn't admit it just now."
Li Zhen looked at him seriously for a while, with sincerity and determination in his weathered eyes. Suddenly moved, Li Zhenqing couldn't help but said:
"Okay, I'll listen to you."
