When the ministers of the Liang Kingdom heard the news, they all looked at each other, and each could see the look of fear in the other's eyes.
The Ming army, the Sui army, and the Gongshan tribe attacked Daliang?
Nuguan is about to be lost? Ginger medicine is almost here?
this…
Everyone's expressions were extremely grim. Everyone knew exactly what this sudden situation meant.
For tens of thousands of years, the Shenzhou human race has been on the defensive, never daring to take a step beyond the Great Luo Mountain. Instead, the Demon Race has sent troops out of the Great Luo Mountain from time to time to attack the Western Regions.
In their subconscious mind, it seems that there is no possibility of the human army attacking the demonic realm. It is only normal for the demonic army to attack the human border city.
But what happened today?
The Ming army dared to take the initiative to invade the Demon Realm, which completely subverted their cognition.
What’s even more strange is that Gong Shanbu took the wrong medicine and defected to the Ming Dynasty!
Could it be that the Kongshan Division has already broken the pot?
hateful!
This is a shameful betrayal of the demons!
The Daluo Mountain Range stretches for millions of miles from north to south. It is the boundary mountain between the Divine Continent and the Demon Realm, and is also a natural barrier between the two races.
Therefore, the main force of the Liang Kingdom's elite troops was stationed at the western borders to resist the Sui army.
On the east side, because of the steep mountains and natural dangers, the troops were very empty.
In other words, it is already too late to mobilize troops to resist the Ming army.
"Your Majesty!" The important minister Xiang Tong stepped forward, "The three tribes of Sui, Ming, and Kongshan colluded. We, Great Liang, cannot resist it at this time!"
"From what I see, let's simply abandon the west and north, immediately gather all the elites and strong men, and go south!"
Heading south? Yeyi Xingkong heard this and immediately knew what Xiang Tong meant.
But Lord Liang still shook his head, "It's too late. I know you want to go east from Ailong Mountain Pass and invade the Western Region. But it's simply impossible to achieve it."
Xiang Tong's countermeasures seemed reasonable at first glance. Since the main force of the Ming army invaded Da Liang, Da Liang simply gave up the territory of the Demon Realm and went south through the Ailong Pass to invade the Western Region, which was empty of troops.
Tooth for tooth. You attack my country of Liang, and I attack your country of Ming. Each fights his own.
It can also realize the strategy of losing the west and making up for the east.
But the key to this countermeasure requires Liang Guo to be able to assemble the final main force in a very short period of time.
The problem is, it's too late.
The main force of the Liang army is in the western states, which are more than two million miles away. It would take more than half a month at the fastest to transfer them back.
With this time, the Ming army would have captured Xuanmu City and captured the Daliang monarchs and ministers.
The bad thing is that none of the ministers of Great Liang expected that Jiang Yao, who had only taken over the Southern Territory for half a year and was about to celebrate his 60th birthday, would take the initiative to attack Great Liang!
It's no wonder they didn't think of it. In fact, Jiang Yao had never thought of attacking Liang State before.
Jiang Yao was also forced to take the initiative to attack Liang State as a last resort.
If you want to blame, it's because the monarchs and ministers of the Liang Kingdom were bewitched by the Qing Dynasty and agreed to the strategy of losing the west and making up the east, and they couldn't keep it secret. The Jin Yiwei stole this strategic secret.
"Your Majesty, the Ming army has arrived at Nuguan. It is only a few hundred thousand miles away from Tokyo, which is only a few days' march." Another important minister came out and said.
"It will definitely be too late to mobilize the main force from the west to come back for reinforcements. Besides, even if there is time, if the west is empty, the Sui army will invade the Great Liang. It will be able to stop the Sui army but not the Ming army."
"For today's plan, there are two countermeasures. One is to surrender to the Sui State in exchange for the Sui State's support for the plan of losing the west and making up the east. All the Demonic Territory will be given to the Sui State, and the Great Liang will only have the Western Region. The Sui State is also the country of our demon clan, and it will soon
Maybe I will agree."
"If the Sui Kingdom does not agree, Your Majesty can immediately go to Yunhui Tiancheng in the west and gather all the main forces of the army in Yunhui Tiancheng nearby. Abandon all other cities and only defend Yunhui Tiancheng!"
"Not bad!" Another demon minister came out.
"I also second the proposal! Your Majesty, if the Sui Emperor does not agree to exchange the old land of Great Liang for the Western Region, then we can only give up all the land and only stick to Yunhui Tiancheng, waiting for changes!"
The ministers nodded one after another, all agreeing to use Yunhui Tiancheng as the last resort and to stand firm and wait for changes.
There is no other way.
It's ironic to say that. Just a moment ago, they were clamoring to invade the Western Region, not sealing the sword for ten days, and implementing the plan of making up for what was lost in the west and making up for the loss in the east. They were full of confidence.
But now, we can only give up all the cities and concentrate all our efforts on only holding on to one Yunhui Celestial City.
Why are they so confident in Yunhui Tiancheng?
Because the location of Yunhui Tiancheng is extremely dangerous, it has been one of the four fortified cities in the Demon Realm since ancient times, and is known as the city that never falls.
Moreover, Yunhui Tiancheng, as an important town in the west to resist the Sui army, was the core city of the entire western defense line and gathered many elite soldiers and resources.
Yunhui Tiancheng is not only easy to defend but difficult to attack militarily, it is also a very prosperous and huge city, enough to accommodate a large population.
When the kings and ministers of Daliang go to Yunhui City, they can mobilize their troops nearby. Within a few days, the main force of the Liang army can basically be gathered in Yunhui Tiancheng.
Then, Yunhui Tiancheng, with its massive army and mountains of resources, will gather the last strength of the Liang Kingdom and become the most difficult to conquer city in the world.
Even if millions of enemy troops attack, it can still hold on for decades, or even centuries.
So, even if the entire Demon Realm is occupied by the Sui army, at least Yunhui Tiancheng will still be flying the flag of the Liang Kingdom.
In this way, changes can be delayed until the situation turns around.
"Okay, let's do it like this!" Yeyi Xingkong saw that the ministers all advocated this way, and knew that this was the only way.
He could not oppose the decision of the crowd, and there was really no better way.
Immediately, Yeyi Xingkong asked Xiang Tong to contact the Sui Kingdom.
On behalf of the Liang Lord, Xiang Tong expressed that Great Liang was willing to surrender to the Sui Dynasty, and hoped that the Great Sui Dynasty would retain the Great Liang State for the sake of the Demon Realm and jointly destroy the Ming Dynasty.
As a result, Emperor Sui certainly refused without hesitation.
The helpless Xiang Tong continued to express that the Liang Kingdom was willing to surrender to the Sui Dynasty and dedicate the remaining eighteen states to the Sui Dynasty. The condition was that they hoped to jointly destroy the Ming Dynasty and then reward the Western Region to the Liang Kingdom.
Unexpectedly, when Sui Emperor Yang Jian learned about it, he still refused without hesitation. Not only did he refuse, he also said:
"As long as the false coolness persists, the great Sui Dynasty will never be peaceful."
"If you sincerely surrender, you should present the city, take off your armor, hold the watch of surrender, wear white clothes, and go to the Hajj."
"The Western Region is definitely not a place for you to meddle with. Is there the Liang Kingdom beside the Sui Dynasty's bed?"
With Yang Jian's reply, Liang's so-called "surrender" plan came to nothing.
"Yang Jian bullies people too much!" Lord Liang was furious.
He looked at the Qing envoy Cuirao coldly, "The Qing Dynasty and the Great Liang are indeed allies, but now that the Great Liang is in trouble, the Qing Dynasty may support one soldier or another? Humph."
"Concubine Cheng" Nurao also had a bitter look on her face at this time.
All the ministers in the palace were ashamed and annoyed.
With such a low profile, Yang Jian still refused to accept it and was determined to attack the Great Liang.
The great cold will not be extinguished, Yang Sui is uneasy!
"Yang Jian colluded with foreign tribes and subverted Great Liang. He is simply a scum of the demon clan." Liang Lord said coldly, "I want to see what will happen to him then."
"Pass on my decree, immediately abandon Tokyo and go to Yunhui Tiancheng..."
With Lord Liang's order, the entire Xuanmao City became busy.
………
One day later, the Ming army finally successfully captured Nu Pass where the Liang army was small.
Just when the emperors and ministers of the Liang Kingdom in Xuanzang City were planning to relocate urgently, Jiang Yao's large banner with the sun, moon and dragon pattern had appeared at the head of Nuguan City.
Those who followed Emperor Ming into the city were Qin Que, Qin Yu, Zhen Jiubing, Duanmu Hongdao, Shang Xuan, Pei Kang, Ji Xin, Li Yang, Feng Ke, Quan Weiwei, Ling Du, Zhuang Xian, Jiang Nan, Jiang Wei, Jiang Xian
Waiting for dozens of ministers and clan members.
Half of the important figures of the Ming Dynasty are here. Most of the elite troops of the Ming Dynasty are also here.
The ministers of the Ming Dynasty stood on the Nu Pass and looked at the demonic world to the west, and they couldn't help but feel deeply moved.
What you are stepping on is the ground of demons!
For tens of thousands of years, the demons have been frequently coming out of Luoshan from the east and marching to the western regions. How have the human soldiers and horses ever dared to spy on Daluoshan? How dare they stand at the gate of the Demon Realm?
Now, it was the Ming Dynasty that did it.
Your Majesty can be said to be the first person to leave Luoshan in the west since the fall of the Tang Dynasty.
"My Lord, the kings and ministers of the Liang Kingdom want to flee to Yunhui Tiancheng, but they are stubbornly resisting."
On Nuguan City, Qin Yu, who had already joined forces with Jiang Yao, said, "According to the intelligence, Yunhui Tiancheng is easy to defend but difficult to attack, and it is extremely dangerous. If Lord Liang concentrates his strength to defend Yunhui Tiancheng..."
"I'm afraid I can keep it for many years."
Qin Yu assisted Xi Sheng and asked the Kongshan tribe to declare their return to the Ming Dynasty, and immediately led the 100,000 Kongshan demon army southward.
At this time, Nu Pass had already gathered Jiang Yao's 300,000-strong army, Qin Que's 100,000 beast army, Qin Yu's 100,000 Koushan Demon Army and 3,000 Martial God Soldiers.
Very strong.
To the west, more than a million Sui troops were approaching the border city of Liang Kingdom.
The northern and eastern parts of the Liang Kingdom were extremely empty and could not stop the Ming army and the Kyoshan Demon Army at all.
"We can't let the main force of the Liang Army gather in Yunhui Tiancheng!" Jiang Yao pointed to the west, "If the main force of the Liang Army gives up everything and successfully concentrates on Yunhui Tiancheng, I'm afraid they won't be able to defeat it in ten years."
Qin Yu said: "After the Liang Lord issued the edict, the elite Liang troops in the western cities have abandoned the cities they defended and moved closer to Yunhui Tiancheng."
"In three to five days at most, Yunhui Tiancheng will gather millions of Liang army elites and countless resources."
"My lord, I have a plan. If it succeeds, not only will we be able to annihilate the main force of the Liang army, we will also be able to obtain the last resources of the Liang Kingdom."
"So, why don't we use the trick and let the Liang army gather in Yunhui Tiancheng? It's just a matter of catching them all in one fell swoop and eradicating the roots."
Jiang Yao's eyes lit up, "Zizhou Ji'an is about to show up? Let's talk about it."
Qin Yu raised his hand and held out a map, saying:
"Lord, please look at this. The reason why this city is easy to defend but difficult to attack, and is known as the Invincible City, is because there is only a thousand-mile canyon to enter the city, and the city can only be attacked from one side. No matter how many troops and horses are used to attack the city, it will be difficult to deploy."
"On both sides of this Wanli Canyon are snow-capped mountains that go straight into the void. I heard Jiu Bing say...Jiu Bing, it's up to you to decide."
The fact that he was able to come up with this poisonous plan was also related to Zhen Jiubing's technique.
Zhen Jiubing is a rare genius with ice spiritual roots and a genius who practices cold magical powers.
Zhen Jiubing stretched out her green fingers, pointed at the location of Wanli Canyon, and said in a cold and unsmiling tone:
"Your Majesty, everyone, this Yunhui Snow Mountain is a famous snow peak in the Demon Realm."
"Above the snow peaks, there is a powerful cold realm and a huge sea of cold realm. The demon calls it Yunhui Cold Sea."
"Any soldiers and horses who want to cross the Yunhui Snow Mountain will be swallowed by the Yunhui Cold Sea."
"I went there once in order to practice my magical powers in the cold region. I almost froze to death."
"This is why Yunhui Tiancheng is so dangerous. Because the top of the mountain is blocked by the cold sea, the enemy can only pass through the Wanli Canyon and attack the city from one side."
"However, we have the opportunity to take advantage of this cold area... Zizhou, just say it."
Qin Yu continued: "This cold area is difficult to use. Otherwise, Ye Yi Xingkong would not be defenseless. However, our army basically has the conditions to implement this strategy."
"First, we need a strong Martial Saint who practices cold techniques, and this strong Martial Saint must understand the wonderful meaning of the cold realm of Yunhui Cold Realm."
"It just so happens that Jiubing meets this condition. She spent a year in Yunhui Hanhai before. The first condition is met."
"Second, my lord has the Flying Mirror and can lead ten thousand people to catch up with the king and ministers of Liang Kingdom..."
"Third, most of Qin Que's 100,000 beast army are void demon beasts, including thousands of snow bear beasts from the void cold current, which are the most resistant to cold regions..."
"These three conditions are not simple. Yeyi Xingkong would never have thought that Ming could use Yunhui Cold Territory. Even if he could, he would only think that it was to deal with Yunhui Tiancheng..."
After Jiang Yao heard Qin Yu's plan, he couldn't help but laugh and said: "Zizhou's clever plan! In this way, it will be easy to capture Yunhui Tiancheng!"
What he actually said in his heart was: "What a vicious trick!"
Shangshu Ling Shang Xuan also smiled and said:
"Since it's feasible, let's just wait for another day or two until the main force of the Liang army has entered Yunhui Tiancheng and all the resources have been accumulated. It won't be too late to take action."
The ministers laughed together.
Qin Que frowned and said: "My lord, although this method can completely destroy Liang and get the resources of Liang country, it has a major flaw that needs to be made up for by my lord."
Jiang Yao also guessed, "Say."
Qin Yu looked deep in thought, "How can our army appease Yang Sui when it is so easy to obtain the last resources of the Liang Kingdom? Yang Sui is now powerful, and the Ming Dynasty is not its opponent at the moment, and it cannot offend Qiang Sui again."
"It is very dangerous to cooperate with the strong Sui Dynasty. If we take advantage of it, I am afraid that the Sui Lord will fall out. The Sui army can use the banner of expelling the human race to attack our army in turn, or even lead to a war between the two countries!"
"So, what I mean is that after obtaining the resources of Liang Kingdom, we should take the initiative to send half of them to appease the Sui monarchs and ministers. At the same time, our army should withdraw from the hometown of Liang Kingdom immediately and avoid conflict with the Sui army."
When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but nod their heads and said yes. They felt that Qin Yu was an old man who wanted to seek the country, and it made sense.
However, it was really heartbreaking and unwilling to give away half of such huge resources to the Sui State, which was destined to be an enemy rather than a friend in the future.
Therefore, no one agreed immediately.
unwilling.
Jiang Yao almost laughed.
Hahaha.
How do you know that Yang Jian is my "big boy"?
One of our own!
If the Sui State was not a country of the Wu family, and he could not say anything, he could merge the entire Sui State into the Ming Dynasty. Do you believe it?
However, even if he could not have the final say in the Sui State, at least he would not let the Sui State fall out with the Ming Dynasty because of the "unequal distribution of spoils".
This, he still has the final say.
Zi Zhou, you are worried for nothing.
However, Jiang Yao said: "Zi Zhou's words are reasonable. Well, when I get the resources hoarded by the Liang Kingdom, I will take the initiative to hand over the kings and ministers of the Liang Kingdom to the Sui Emperor as a gesture of goodwill."
Give resources? Impossible!
Give it to prisoners, yes!
………
On the road leading to the Yunhui Mountains, there is a huge fleet of spaceships.
The fleet of spaceships flew under the starry sky flag of the Nightwing Clan of Liang Kingdom.
On top of the largest and most luxurious spaceship, the night wing starry sky stood upright on the bow of the ship, its face sinking like water.
His consciousness spread and he looked at Xuanmao City tens of thousands of miles away, feeling a little sad in his heart.
He even gave up his companionship in Tokyo.
Is this the end of Great Liang’s dominance of the Demon Realm?
On the spaceship, there were many Liang Kingdom ministers and their families, numbering in the tens of thousands. Among them, there were dozens of saint-level experts alone.
There are also 50,000 forbidden troops, including 3,000 Martial God Army and 500 Demonic Immortal Army.
This is the forbidden army of the Liang Kingdom. They are extremely elite, but they are also the only soldiers and horses around the Lord Liang.
Most of the elites were either wiped out or surrendered during the Sui-Liang struggle for hegemony.
It can be said that most of the big shots in the Liang Kingdom, as well as most of the resources, are in this huge fleet.
In the past few years, the nobles who had surrendered to the Sui Kingdom had long since surrendered. Those who remained in the Liang Kingdom were almost all diehard loyalists of the Yeyi tribe.
The nobles of Liang Kingdom all looked sad at this time. Thinking about how powerful Liang was back then, who would have thought that less than thirty years after the founding of the country, they would end up in this situation.
From now on, we can only hold on to one Yunhui Celestial City.
Fortunately, Yunhui Tiancheng is very large and can accommodate a large number of people, soldiers and horses. With the elites and huge resources of Daliang, it is enough to defend it for a long time.
There is still a chance for Da Liang to make a comeback.
Among the people accompanying him, there was also a special person: Concubine Cheng of the Qing Dynasty.
The reason why Tuorao did not leave the crisis-ridden Liang Kingdom but moved with her was because she firmly believed that Yunhui Tiancheng was strong enough to hold on.
The second reason is that the Qing Emperor asked her not to return home yet, in order to appease the monarchs and ministers of the Liang Kingdom and to show that the Qing Dynasty and the Liang Kingdom were sharing the same difficulties.
Otherwise, Concubine Cheng would be dishonest.
Sure enough, Concubine Cheng did not abandon Great Liang and returned to the country, which comforted the hearts of the kings and ministers of Liang.
The Qing Emperor finally had some attitude.
"Your Majesty, Jiang Yao personally led hundreds of thousands of troops to pursue us westward," Concubine Cheng said.
"Let's simply lure him to the west and join forces with the Sui army. We will then use tricks to provoke him..."
Upon hearing this, Lord Liang nodded and said: "If we can successfully provoke them and make them bite dogs, I, Great Liang, can turn defeat into victory."
"In three days at most, the main force of our army will gather in Yunhui Tiancheng."
"Then, even if millions of enemy troops attack the city, I will not be able to move like a mountain."
The monarchs and ministers of the Liang Kingdom cheered up with bright faces. The dangers of Yunhui Tiancheng and the last secrets of Great Liang gave them reassurance.
The spaceship fleet headed west and finally arrived at the foot of Yunhui Mountain after a few days.
Not far ahead is the famous Yunhui Grand Canyon. The Yunhui Grand Canyon stretches thousands of miles and is the only route into Yunhui Tiancheng.
"Your Majesty, our soldiers from the sixteen cities in western Daliang have abandoned all the city gates on the border and gathered in Yunhui Tiancheng. There are a total of 960,000 demon sect troops, more than 70,000 demon true troops, and more than 5,000 demon god troops!"
When the commander-in-chief of the Liang army in Yunhui Tiancheng learned that the fleet of Emperor Liang's monarchs and ministers was coming, he traveled more than ten thousand miles from the city to greet them and report them.
Now the army has gathered in Yunhui Tiancheng, there are countless resources, and His Majesty and the Manchu ministers have also arrived.
Da Liang finally had a way out.
"Let's go! Enter the canyon and go to Yunhui Tiancheng!"
Emperor Liang gave an order, and all the spaceships were put away, and a team of more than 100,000 people entered the Yunhui Grand Canyon together.
After passing through the Yunhui Grand Canyon, which is thousands of miles deep, we arrived at Yunhui City.
However, the team had only entered the Grand Canyon three thousand miles away when suddenly a cold wind blew from the sky above the canyon.
But the cold wind not only appeared extremely sudden, like falling from the sky, but also carried an ominous air.
"No! This is a cold area..."
The powerful Emperor Liang reacted very quickly, but as soon as he sensed it, the terrifying cold realm fell.
That's right, it's like a skynet falling from the snowy peak!
"boom……"
