The entire Qianxi area includes the territory that Dagan once took away from Dadai, as well as some of the border areas that Dagan used to own.
The border area here back then was actually similar to what it is now, and it was not a place that the top officials of the Daqian government paid much attention to.
Later, when the territory captured by Datui was added, there was no hope that Daqian could focus on developing this area.
Back then, the significance of this large area was more like the area at the junction of Daqian and Dali today. As a buffer zone, it was impossible to invest too much manpower and material resources in development there.
But then Dadui disappeared completely overnight, and in the west of Qianxi, there was suddenly no one to be wary of.
After a long time, Qianxi slowly began to develop, and the population increased.
But with the long-term preparation ahead, it is difficult for people from Qianxi to play an important role in the court.
Even if there are some people who come from Qianxi and become famous, they actually follow a path similar to becoming a disciple of Prince Lian.
At this time, the family background became the disciple of Prince Lian, and Qianxi became one of the labels. Most of the time, he would not use it, but if he was attacked or humiliated by others, then this label would be used again. .
In addition, the control of the subordinates in the Daqian court was done through local powerful people, and the Jinyiwei was used to monitor the world.
In this case, Jin Yiwei has always had greater power, which is normal.
When the chaos in the court began, the emperor did not take care of things. Later, the emperor simply disappeared, and the prestigious and capable people in the Jinyiwei retired. These series of factors were added up, and the Jinyiwei was in a state of semi-waste.
People in Qianxi had no feeling for the imperial court, which was too far away. In addition, in recent decades, evil cultivators, local tyrants, and all kinds of chaos have appeared.
It’s not surprising that people from Qianxi, especially those close to the western border, took the risk of moving their families directly to Dadui.
In the eyes of most people in Qianxi, the sergeants of Dadui were very disciplined and Qiu made no mistakes. They just pushed them all the way, killed evil cultivators, and suppressed troubles.
A small number of people who know more also know that the purpose of Datui is to take back their homeland.
With the previous examples, all fools know that if you go to Dadu, your life will definitely be better than now.
At least Dadui has established a code that wherever there is a famine, local officials and landowners will all have to bear the blame.
If they become the people of Dadui, no matter how bad they are, they will have the most basic guarantee that they will at least have food to eat.
Obviously, Daqian cannot guarantee this.
Under such circumstances, do you expect the Qianxi people, who are not very popular at all, to resist Dadui's brave soldiers on their own?
People in the Daqian court never argued about this when they quarreled.
When they kept arguing, they never counted on the Ganxi people. It was a basic consensus to mobilize troops from other places. The only issue they kept arguing about was who would lead the troops.
After King Lian settled the matter of commanding the troops and began to mobilize troops, the nonsense happened one after another.
All parties began to place their own people inside, and Prince Lian's face was so dark that he almost dripped with black water.
He now understands that without this incident, he would not even have the chance to integrate his power.
For the time being, he just watched, waiting to start sending troops.
But at this time, in Dali in the north, the Xihuang Army, which had been purging evil cultivators everywhere, also swept to the south of Dali.
In the forward camp filled with a chilling atmosphere, General Xihuang stood alone on a high platform, his eyes flashing, looking over there. The evil cultivators who were being chased were like bereaved dogs, running towards Daqian in a swarm.
"Ha, slow down, don't chase me too hard, you need to give me a little breathing space.
It is normal for our army to move out slower than those evil cultivators.
Let them run. If they don't run, how can we chase them?"
General Xihuang was full of murderous intent, grinning wildly.
If the new emperor had not made up his mind and granted him great authority, no one else would have dared to restrict him. He really didn't know that Dali had hidden so many evil cultivators.
There are also some evil cultivators who have become part of the establishment.
There are also some evil cultivators who appear to be families and sects that have been inherited for thousands of years.
If it hadn't been for this carpet-like excavation, if a dog passed by, he would have to be pulled over by General Xihuang to confirm whether it was an evil dog. It would be really difficult to find it.
Just a few days ago, I received a new order to eradicate all evil. The evil cultivators in Dali must be strangled.
The person who came to announce the decree should be told in private after the formal announcement.
The evil cultivators harmed the Supreme Emperor, and His Majesty was very unhappy. He must let General Xihuang kill the evil cultivators at all costs. No one could be spared.
Who knows if the evil cultivator who ran away happened to be involved in the plot against the Supreme Emperor.
Especially those from the southern part of Dali, you can't let anyone escape, because you will be killed no matter where you go.
General Xihuang has many years of experience and has done many things with the new emperor when he was still the crown prince.
In addition, I heard these days that a large army from Dadui had entered Daqian. When he heard this, General Xihuang didn't understand.
After cleaning up to the south of Dali in a step-by-step manner, he immediately arranged the next script.
Because the front camp of the Xihuang Army had a smooth sailing, they were a little careless and allowed some evil cultivators to escape into Daqian.
And among these evil cultivators, there happen to be some who know Xin secrets.
General Xihuang was on top, and without checking for a moment, he pursued him into the territory of Daqian.
When you go back later, accept the punishment happily and that's it.
Seeing that it was almost done, General Xihuang waved his hand.
"Have you all rested? Keep chasing, and be sure not to let them escape.
You came to Dali and built more than a dozen evil altars, and you still want to run away?
It’s not that easy!”
The army was dispatched here, and one of General Xihuang's followers silently burned the map displayed in the camp. After burning for half an hour, he extinguished the flames and put away the remains. .
This will be evidence from now on, evidence that we are lost!
The forward battalion of the Xihuang Army, led by General Xihuang himself, directly entered the buffer zone between Daqian and Dali.
Of course, this time we walked neither in the middle nor on the battlefield in the past, just to make it a little more realistic.
The army set off and headed south.
When the subsequent large forces caught up, some people recognized this place and everyone was confused.
However, the leading general remained silent and pretended not to recognize him. In one sentence, the military order was to catch up with the vanguard camp, but no one could do anything about it.
Some of the soldiers below probably guessed something and became even more excited.
They don't care why. As soon as the new emperor ascends the throne, he will have the opportunity to make great achievements. If he doesn't seize it, will he wait for someone to feed him to his mouth?
The Xihuang Army went all the way south and crossed the border without stopping.
Those evil cultivators who were driven here, no matter how stupid they are, understand why. What can they do?
How dare you stop? If you stop, you will die.
If we really rush to the hinterland of Daqian, we do have a chance to survive.
The next day, the Daqian court seemed a little more harmonious.
Because Dali's soldiers also entered Daqian.
Compared to Datu, they certainly pay more attention to Dali, their old rival.
But at this time, King Lian had already led his troops to Ganxi. It was not easy to choose who would fight with Dali who took advantage of the situation next.
We were arguing a few days ago, but now it's turned into pushback.
It's really too much to expect those guys who have been Taiping kings for a long time to personally lead troops to fight against Dali's Xihuang army.
Go west.
Dadui's Dragon Elephant Army is still fighting steadily.
The march is not to rush all the way to the east, but to advance for a while and then spread out and clean up the north and south.
Not only was he followed by the Riddler, he was also followed by a large number of grassroots officials. When they arrived at a place, they began to clean it up and take away the military, political and economic power of the city.
The resistance isn't too great because civilians don't care at all.
Those who dare to cause trouble are basically those with vested interests who have taken the courage of the leopard.
In Da Dui, there is no need for big families and sects like the local emperors.
Moreover, such a big force as Ganxi is pitifully small. Who really has that kind of strength would mess around in Ganxi...
When King Lian led his troops to the front line, he looked into the distance. The sky seemed to be burning with fire and clouds. The huge gathering of energy and blood had already affected the celestial phenomena. He couldn't help but sigh inwardly.
Although the movement speed of Dadui's Dragon Elephant Army is not very fast, it is very suitable for advancing the occupation.
It's almost an army of physical practitioners, something no one had thought of before.
As far as physical training is concerned, it would be difficult to recruit and train 100,000 physical cultivators whose strength is comparable to that of the Dragon Elephant Army. Not to mention that the focus of this physical training army is not at all on individual strength. .
The most difficult thing is the kind of military discipline that imposes prohibitions and the charge of risking life and death.
The cattle and horses of Daqian, the long-term suppression, and the overall environment destined to have such energy are impossible.
Just by taking a distant look, King Lian understood that with the great righteousness of taking back his homeland, it was impossible for Da Gan's army to stop him.
This made him feel a little uncomfortable. In the past few days, he had killed three people with military methods, but he still could not reunite the lax military discipline.
Fortunately, he understood that Dadui just wanted to take back his homeland, and fortunately, that was all.
Otherwise, he would feel scared just from the news he got in the past few days.
The next day, the first tentative local battle began.
Daqian is still dominated by standard Qi-refining monks, because there are too many people deployed by all parties, which makes the already poorly trained battle formation even more loose, and the formation speed is horribly slow.
They were almost fighting on their own, using various spells constantly.
On the other side of the Dragon Elephant Army, the thousands of people who went out to fight were integrated into one body, with their energy and blood surging, like a bloody giant beast running wildly across the ground, with an extremely terrifying momentum.
The various scattered and seemingly colorful spells, when they fell, were pinched by the thick cloud of blood and energy, and shattered into auras that filled the sky.
With a slightly more forceful approach, the qi and blood cloud transformed into a giant burning blood-colored elephant, charging forward with all its strength, but the soldiers among them were unharmed.
What is somewhat useful here is the Armor-piercing Arrow Missile prepared in advance, specifically for physical training.
This thing was originally prepared by Daqian to suppress physical cultivation, and it is almost standard equipment everywhere.
So far, Daqian's physical training has been suppressed into nothing.
But those arrows were lost like rain, breaking through the clouds of energy and blood, and fell into the formation. There was only a dense, jingling sound of gold and iron.
Most of the missed arrows were blocked by the armor and stomach. Occasionally, the armor-piercing arrows missed, breaking through the weak points of the armor and stomach, breaking through the body's Qi and blood. However, I saw that the soldier just pulled out the arrow and missed it without stopping.
The fanatical momentum really frightened this group of people who had never fought against an army of physical practitioners.
These soldiers may not have experienced the loss of their homeland, but their fathers and grandfathers must have experienced it.
Ever since I was a child, I have been influenced by my ears and my eyes, and under the guidance of words and deeds, I have been extremely concerned about taking back my homeland.
Now, after joining the army, it is common for Dadui to have his first great military success after returning from a military career, and to be so enthusiastic that he risked his life.
This is also a battle to establish Dadai's authority, and there is no room for error.
The sound of war drums shook the sky and the earth, and even the soldiers at the rear who were not participating in the battle felt as if their energy and blood were on fire.
In front of him, he saw a giant elephant of qi and blood running wildly. The huge power of qi and blood behind him gathered into clouds, covering the sky and the sun.
Those Dagan people had never seen such a violent momentum.
As they ran wildly, before they even arrived, the ground began to rumble and tremble.
Before close contact, his will was taken away and his morale plummeted.
At this time, Daqian's loose battle formation had just been adjusted and started the second wave of counterattack using their best method.
The spiritual light flew and turned into a torrent of waves, pouring away. Wherever it passed, it was like a wave of secret magic, suddenly photographed.
In the Dragon Elephant Army, a loud shout was heard, and Qi and blood suddenly burned.
"rush!"
With an angry shout and an explosion, thousands of people shouted in unison.
The transformed giant elephant of energy and blood raised its head and roared violently, not dodging or avoiding, and crashed head-on into the wave.
There was a loud rumble like thunder, and in the waves that filled the sky, a giant elephant of energy and blood was seen, breaking through the waves, carrying an indomitable momentum, breaking through the waves, and heading straight for Daqian's battle formation.
For more than ten miles, it became a huge source of pressure. I watched helplessly as the fierce soldiers rushed towards me, not dodging or evading. Some of them had armor-piercing arrows stuck in their bodies, which made them even more ferocious.
"Rumble..."
They came into close contact with the battle formation, and within three breaths, they saw the giant elephant forcefully rush into Daqian's battle formation, forcefully rush through the middle, and weave back and forth in it.
There are also people floating in the air who were just brushed by the giant elephant transformed by energy and blood. It was like being hit by a body cultivator who came close to the iron mountain. The aura in his body collapsed and his bones made a rattling noise. , vomiting blood and flew out.
The sound of the horn sounded from the Daqian formation. The forward formation, which was completely disrupted, quickly retreated, but it was a bit more tacit understanding than before.
In the first tentative confrontation, they were knocked to pieces by the dragon-elephant army's rampage.
In the camp, King Lian summoned a group of lieutenants and were still discussing what to do next.
Daqian indeed had no experience in fighting against such an army of physical practitioners, so he suffered a big loss this time.
The formation of formation was too slow and there were too many people holding back, which were also the main reasons.
Outside the camp, several heads were hung.
After everyone discussed it, they still felt that the armor-piercing power was best to use, and it happened to be ready-made.
Prince Lian listened to the discussion and felt quite complicated.
He also wants to fight this battle well and do his best to do his best.
He also understands that even if he negotiates peace with Datu, he must first obtain bargaining chips on the battlefield.
Otherwise, it is sheer folly to expect Dadui to retreat after taking back his homeland.
It's a pity that if the strong ones don't take action, it's hard to stop them with their current strength.
A hundred thousand well-trained physical training, with fanaticism, the effect is actually no worse than the ninth level shot.
Physical cultivators of the same level are generally not as good as Qi-refining cultivators at low levels, but at high levels, it's basically the opposite.
If you have reached the ninth level, if a strong Qi refining expert does not have suitable magic weapons or suitable secret methods, and if you are at the same level, there is a high probability that he will be hammered by physical practitioners.
The current situation is almost like this.
"Go back five hundred miles..."
Prince Lian issued the order in a deep voice. Seeing that several people in the tent seemed to be relieved, his expression became even more gloomy.
He originally planned to clear out the people who were inserted into the process.
But now it seems that he must clear out those moths before he can properly integrate his forces, and only then will he be able to fight against Da Dui.
The army retreated five hundred miles, and King Lian began to issue orders one after another. Every day, new heads were hung at the gate of the camp.
On the other side, the Dragon Elephant Army was not in a hurry and fought steadily.
After capturing a city, stabilize your position first and let the rear follow up. Once you stabilize your position, you can continue to push forward.
Step by step, the momentum and morale are already as strong as a rainbow, and the greenness that just came out has also disappeared.
In Jiachen City, Yu Ziqing has been staying here recently, and Dadui's national destiny has also seemed to be on fire recently, becoming more and more prosperous.
The obsession to take back the homeland is the strongest in Duidong.
Every day, people who have survived until now come to ask for a fight. Some of them are only at the third level of cultivation and have a short life span. They also frankly say that they want to die in their hometown.
It has not been mentioned in the past few years, and Yu Ziqing is not very clear about how obsessed this matter is for everyone in Da Dui.
Now, at the beginning, he felt that the fortune of the country had begun to rise steadily, far exceeding that little result.
He personally took charge of Jiachen City, and asked Lao Zhang to tell everyone that Duihuang was watching from Jiachen City, looking to the east.
In the temporary residence, Lao Zhang sat opposite Yu Ziqing, drinking tea and almost losing his temper.
"Lao Zhang, calm down. The Dragon Elephant Army of Dadui will go through a tough battle for the first time."
"I can't keep my temper, I can't hold back the people who want to fight..."
Lao Zhang let out a long sigh.
"Fortunately, Your Majesty only allowed 100,000 troops to be dispatched. The strategic goal is only to regain our homeland.
Otherwise, I am really afraid that the current situation will turn into an army of millions.
By then it will inevitably develop into a full-scale war."
"The expansion of the war into a full-scale war is not in line with our interests. It will force all forces in the Dagang to resist together."
"Nowadays, the number of people who come to ask for a battle is increasing, and they all come with the idea of killing Daqian."
"Duidong is the most powerful?"
"They are found everywhere, not just Duidong. The enthusiasm is very high, but there are just a little more Duidong."
When Yu Ziqing heard this, he frowned slightly and immediately became wary.
