When Venerable Baihe took Zhu Wen away, he did not forget to order the Taoist soldiers to retreat.
Although more than 10,000 Taoist soldiers were killed by Yaozu monks by 30%, after all, they still have seven or eight thousand fighting strength. Since this battle is doomed to lose, Venerable Baihe has no reason to let them all die here.
In addition, the Dao soldiers' fighting and retreating can also cover Venerable Baihe's actions and prevent himself and Zhu Wen from being intercepted by the Bull Demon King and the Monkey King.
The battle started abruptly and ended quickly, at least in this world. Li Ye watched the Taoist soldiers keep retreating. Although there was no special expression on his face, he was naturally quite happy in his heart, and even excited.
What Dao soldiers, what cards to sweep the world, nothing more.
In front of my demon minions, he is no different from a chicken or a dog.
The corner of Li Ye's mouth rose.
But he quickly put away his pride, after all, this is just the beginning. If the world is not completely in his hands, he will not have the capital to get carried away.
The Bull Demon King and the Monkey King commanded the demons to pursue the Taoist soldiers, while discussing with Li Ye: "We can't let these Taoist soldiers go away like this. We plan to chase and kill them. What does King An think?"
Li Ye nodded slightly, "It's possible."
The two demons stopped talking nonsense, and led all the monks of the demon clan to chase and kill them all the way. Both sides are monks above the Realm Realm, and they moved quickly, disappearing into the sky in a blink of an eye.
Zhu Wen fled alone, and the Taoist soldiers were routed away, leaving behind an army of 200,000 to 300,000 on the ground.
Li Ye set his sights on these armies.
It is said that there are 200,000 to 300,000 troops, but in fact there are at most a hundred thousand soldiers in the camp in front of them. This is as it should be. It is impossible for two or three hundred thousand troops to squeeze into one camp, and it would be too chaotic and sluggish to act like that.
Although there are no big cities nearby, there are still small towns like Lishe in the villages and towns. The rest of the army is divided into several groups and stationed separately, ranging from more than 20 to 50 miles apart from each other. This distance can ensure that they do not affect each other, and they can immediately enter the battle and cooperate with each other if there is a war.
Now, these 200,000 to 300,000 troops are all in Li Ye's pocket.
There were no disturbances in this battle, and Li Ye didn't even make a move. Although he was not as good as the Bull Demon King and the Monkey King, the ease of the whole process can still be seen.
For Li Ye, this was expected.
On his trip to the Yaozu to move reinforcements, he was tricked, assassinated, and tested. The journey was difficult and he fought endlessly. It is no exaggeration to say that it was hard work.
Although life is not in danger, but if there is a lack of wisdom in any step, if he fails to reveal the layout of the fairy court in time, and fails to win the approval of the Mihou King and other monsters in time, Wu You will almost die in the battle of Zhenjiang City. The seal of Zhou Tian's Star Dou Great Formation Banners led to the destruction of the monster clan, and everything was off the table.
After paying so much, now is the time to reap the rewards. Facing a mere 10,000 soldiers, Li Ye really didn't pay much attention to him.
Wu You and Su Emei, who had just fought with the demons, returned to Li Ye at this time. They did not participate in the pursuit of Taoist soldiers. Perhaps it was more important for them to stay by Li Ye's side and protect Li Ye.
Because the standing position is relatively high, in addition to the main camp of Zhu Wen's army at the foot, several camps in other directions can also get a glimpse of the general appearance. Abandoned sons, should we incorporate them now?"
Although Venerable Baihe escaped with Zhu Wen, he was still facing the pursuit of the monster monks. The Central Plains would definitely not be able to stay any longer, and it was very likely that he would go to the vicinity of the Kunlun Passage.
In other words, not only Zhu Wen's army, but also the land of the Central Plains, has now opened its arms to Li Ye.
"Of course it must be incorporated." Li Ye nodded, "Not only must it be incorporated, but it must be fast."
Although Zhu Wen is gone, Zhu Wen is not the real enemy of Li Ye's acquisition of the Central Plains, but the Daoist Immortal Court is. As long as the Kunlun channel is not blocked, the threat of Xianting will still exist. Moreover, Li Ye has always suspected that Xianting has some backhands, and he didn't think that today's battle would be able to reap the effect once and for all.
Under such circumstances, it is very urgent to quickly occupy the seven towns of the Central Plains, accept the loyalty and luck of the people, improve their own strength, and deal with the possible counterattack of Xianting in the future.
At this moment, the generals of the Zhu Wen army on the ground saw the Taoist soldiers retreating, and their own commander disappeared. They quickly became a mess.
Of course Li Ye couldn't let them escape, these were all cooked ducks on his plate, and they should be his strength.
With this in mind, Li Ye lowered his altitude, descended from a high altitude to a low altitude, and shouted at the chaotic barracks: "Hey!"
The soldiers of the military camp, who were still running around and looking around, froze in place when they heard the shout. The various expressions on their faces froze in an instant, and were replaced by a unified expression of looking up in astonishment.
Li Ye now has the cultivation base of the Heavenly Immortal Realm, and he used the power of dragon energy in this loud shout. It is not a problem at all to shock the minds of these ordinary soldiers, even if there are such existences as the Realm Realm in the barracks.
The soldiers who witnessed the battle between the monks of the monster tribe and the Taoist soldiers looked up and saw King An who was indeed a "fairy". The urge to beg for mercy.
Li Ye took everyone's reactions into his eyes, looked majestic, and said in an unquestionable tone: "Order of the Gu Wang: Everyone should keep their own roles, no chaos, no fleeing, no collusion, wait for the Gu Wang to arrange a place to go. Commanders, from Jiedu envoys down to ordinary soldiers, all beheaded!"
When the military order was issued, the coercive air enveloped the entire camp. No matter what their thoughts were, the soldiers could not resist or rebel, so they could only bow their heads and promise: "I will wait for the order!"
Li Ye glanced around the barracks, "Jiedu envoys from all towns, why don't you show up yet?"
Several Jiedu envoys flew up from various places one after another, came to Li Ye one by one, and bowed down at Li Ye's feet, both apprehensive and fearful: "Meet His Royal Highness King An!"
Li Ye said coldly: "You guys are helping the tyrants to abuse the Central Plains, and you dare to blatantly become an enemy of the lonely king. The crime will not be punished. But Nian you are also under the control of others. The lonely king will not punish the crime first, and now I will order you to restrain yourself. Waiting for the military order, if there is a slight mistake, the lonely king will never forgive him!"
Regardless of whether they were Zhu Wen's cronies or not, the Jiedu envoys did not dare to breathe at the moment, and Li Ye's order was not difficult to carry out, and they all took orders: "Follow the order of King An!"
Li Ye flicked his long sleeves, and took Wu You and Su Emei away: "Within three days, there must be arrangements."
Seeing Li Ye who suddenly disappeared from the sight, several Jiedu envoys looked at each other, and they all saw each other's pale face and sweat pouring down from their foreheads.
The coercion that Li Ye gave them just now was much heavier than that of Zhu Wen. Now that Li Ye left, they felt relieved.
"King An... really deserves his reputation!" The Zhongwu Army Jiedu envoy said with emotion.
...
After Li Ye returned to Yuanju County, he sent people to inform the troops in the direction of Huazhou and Gunzhou about today's battle situation, and ordered them to capture the city within a few days, and detour to Bianzhou from both sides according to the prior arrangement to clear Bianzhou. The stubborn enemies on the outside are ready to accept the surrender of the feudal towns.
At the same time, Li Ye ordered Shangguan Qingcheng to lead the Spike Army and the main force of the follow-up army to attack Bianzhou City. The rest of the troops rushed to Zhu Wen's army camp to accept their surrender.

Zhu Wen fled, and the seven towns in the Central Plains had no other choice but to surrender. Although they probably only changed sides temporarily, Jiedushi's loyalty to Li Ye is also open to question—as long as the fairy court can still interfere in the mortal world, Zhu Wen has the ability to bring the immortal back.
However, Li Ye is not worried about these, and there will naturally be follow-up battles in the follow-up battles.
From a military point of view, the Taoist Immortal Court has not been completely defeated, and the movements of Li Maozhen and Gao Pian are not clear, so Li Ye does not need to rush to occupy the territory and disperse his troops. But now he urgently needs the luck of the people, so he has to act quickly.
After the order was issued, Li Ye was actually free again and had nothing to do for the time being.
Now he only needs to wait for the various ministries to occupy the prefectures and counties, and wait for the Bull Demon King and Mi Monkey King to return from chasing the Taoist soldiers.
...
It was day and night, Li Ye received the news from the Bull Demon King.
They have completely defeated the Dao soldiers, and more than 10,000 Dao soldiers were killed or injured.
However, the people sent back by the Bull Demon King said that they would not rush back immediately, but planned to go straight to Kunlun, and control the exit of the Kunlun passage while seeking to arrest Venerable Baihe and Zhu Wen.
In this way, the Taoist soldiers and immortals who are still "seasick" after coming down from the Kunlun Passage will be hit head-on by them.
As long as the exit of the Kunlun Passage can be controlled, the power of Immortal Court can be blocked from continuing to enter the mortal world, which will affect Li Ye's achievements in conquering the world.
Li Ye naturally has no reason to disagree with this. He didn't have the power before, but now there are monster monks doing this, which is exactly what he wants.
However, things took a long time, and the next day, the Bull Demon King sent someone back to tell Li Ye that when they were chasing Zhu Wen and Venerable Baihe approaching the Kunlun passage, they encountered a large number of Taoist soldiers intercepting them, and the two sides fought.
When he heard the news, Li Ye didn't feel any emotion in his heart. With the big monsters such as the Bull Demon King and the Monkey King, some Taoist soldiers can't do anything to this team of monsters.
Unless there are a lot of Taoist soldiers.
A third message followed.
"There are more than 80,000 Taoist soldiers, and the battle formation is unrivaled. Our attack was thwarted, and the monks suffered heavy casualties, so we were forced to turn into a fierce battle. However, the Kunlun passage must be fought, and we have no intention of retreating. Please tell King An to tell the follow-up monsters to rush to help immediately!"
This is the words of the Mi Monkey King relayed by the monster.
When Li Ye received the news, he couldn't help but thump in his heart.
Fortunately, the second batch of monster monks came to Pinglu, a hundred thousand horses led by King Yu Tamarin.
It's just that this group of monster monks are not all above the real person level, but a team of ordinary monsters.
"With one against eight, even if the Bull Demon King and Mihou King are powerful, and there are many big monsters in the team, I'm afraid they won't be able to hold on for too long." Li Ye said to King Yu Tamarin, "The great sages gathered in the team are above the level of real people. My monster, hurry to help."
King Yu Tamarin nodded and said: "King An, don't worry, I have thousands of monsters above the Daoist Realm, enough to support the Bull Demon King and the others!"
After saying that, King Yutamo ordered his troops to go.
Watching King Yu Tamarin's team disappear into the sky, Li Ye's eyes were awe-inspiring.
The strength of the three great saints, coupled with the big monster in the team, and the magic weapon such as the chaos clock, it is not difficult to stabilize the battle ahead.
However, the 80,000 Taoist soldiers were able to go down together, indicating that there was a problem with the Kunlun Passage, and Li Ye could not take it lightly.
