In the southwest frontier, a majestic and majestic fortress rises from the ground. Scouts patrol hundreds of miles outside the city. The city is solemnly guarded. Flags are waving, hunting is heard, and the atmosphere of murder is rising into the sky.

"Huhuhu~"

The wind was strong and howling.

Mr. Ming Jing was sitting at his desk, with memorials from all over the eight states in the southwest piled up like a hill in front of his desk.

With a sweep of his spiritual consciousness, the memorial turned over on its own.

Mr. Ming Jing was preoccupied with looking at the post-war situation in the eight southwest states. His face was full of seriousness and he said nothing.

Beside Mr. Ming Jing, Master Yulou and Master Yu Xuzi of Guigu sat on the left and right, also minding their own business while reading the memorials, feeling quite heavy.

Military is the major event of the country, the place of life and death, and the way of survival.

War is not a treat, there is no worldliness, there is no hello, my family is hello, there is always cruelty and blood behind the war.

After reading through the memorials of various states, I was shocked.

Basically, there were cities in every county in the eight southwest states, and the Taoist temple fell, causing heavy losses.

After the demons capture the city, they usually won't massacre them. However, all the people in the city, supplies, etc. will be taken away. If they can't be taken away, they will be destroyed. In the end, they will leave a ruin to the Dachang Dynasty.

It is an abandoned city with ruins and ruins.

If any city is lost, it will be a huge loss for the Celestial Empire.

Mr. Ming Jing looked through the memorials and looked at the losses reported by the southwestern states:

"It seems that the Southern Barbarian Alliance is not willing to watch us swallow up the eight southwest states and intends to wrestle with us."

Mr. Mirror has complicated thoughts.

The tide of evil and softness swept across the world, and demons were on the rise. Forced by the pressure of the future, the Dachang Dynasty took great strides to expand its territory and speed up the management of border counties.

This is an outright conspiracy.

If the demon chooses to rely on the tide of evil to develop, accumulate strength, stay dormant, and give in everywhere, the Dachang Dynasty will be able to take advantage of it, stand on the head of the demon kingdom, shit and urinate, and swallow dozens or twenty border states in one go.

County, strengthen the power of the Celestial Empire.

On the other hand, if the demon kingdom is unwilling to be reconciled and wants to confront Dachang Celestial Dynasty head-on, this will play into Dachang Celestial Dynasty's plan. It will take advantage of the evil tide before the demons breed in large numbers to inflict heavy damage on the demon side, weaken the power of the demons, and offset the negative effects of the evil tide.

Influence.

No matter what the demon kingdom chooses, it will be beneficial to the Dachang Dynasty.

Master Yulou looked calm and said with a faint smile:

"In the long run, this is a good thing. We are not afraid of them confronting us head-on, but we are afraid that they will hide in the wilderness. Sir, this is not exactly the situation you want to see."

Mr. Mirror nodded slightly.

Comparing the two, he really hopes that the Demon Kingdom and the Celestial Empire will have a head-to-head confrontation.

It has only been a year since the evil tide came. It can be predicted that the demonic power is at its weakest now. As the demonic power recovers, the demonic power will become stronger and stronger in the future.

If you don't start a war with the monster now, consume the opponent bit by bit, and gradually build an advantage, the situation will become more and more difficult in the future.

If you don't suffer a small loss now, you will suffer a big loss one day.

Although large-scale battles with demons will cause considerable losses, the short-term pain and losses are worth it for the long-term strategy.

Guigu Headmaster Yu Xuzi also said:

"Sir, we will not suffer any losses in this battle. Whether it is the city captured or the enemy leader captured, we have taken advantage. It will be beneficial to us if we continue to fight like this. In my opinion, it is time to report to Your Majesty and call in reserve troops to the border.

It’s Huangzhou County.”

Yu Xuzi, who was born as a military strategist, was quite warlike. When he saw that the demon kingdom was making a big move to fight back with troops, he was happy to see the success and was very excited in his heart.

"What the two fellow Taoists said is true. I discussed with His Majesty and the central ministers a few days ago that the second batch of reinforcements will arrive soon."

Mr. Ming Jing is determined and will not waver in his determination easily.

However, the truth is obvious. As a prince, he cares about the people of the world. Looking through the losses in various places, Mr. Ming Jing still can't help but show a look of distress on his face.

"In every state, important cities and towns were lost and suffered heavy losses. Even the newly established Taoist temples lost several of them and turned into nothing."

Mr. Ming Jing flipped through the memorials and shook his head repeatedly.

some of

, he single-handedly supported and cultivated the county and Taoist colleges in various places, investing countless jade resources and spending a lot of effort.

After more than a year of development, the Taoist temple finally made some achievements and trained many local monks, but the effort was gone in a few days.

This is the mainstay of the future of the southwestern states. It would be a pity that it failed before it could shine.

Yu Xuzi couldn't answer the question for a while, he was looking through memorials from various places, calculating the losses in the southwest and subsequent awards and reconstruction.

Master Yulou thought of something. After reading through it, he took a memorial and said:

"Sir, this is a good news, and it is a great news of a complete victory."

Good news?

Mr. Mingjing, Guigu Headmaster Yu Xuzi was a little surprised.

The major states and counties in the southwest were suddenly attacked and were passively beaten. They had to resist the revenge of the demon army on the front line. The demons are powerful. It would be great if each place could defend the city and protect itself well. What great victory could there be?

This time, I read a lot of reports from various places. They defended the city and relied on city formations to defeat the weak and the strong, and achieved some gains. However, it was a miserable victory, not a great victory.

It was precisely because of this thought that when Mr. Mingjing and Yu Xuzi heard about the great victory, they immediately became interested and took a closer look.

After a few breaths, the two of them read through the memorials mentioned by Master Yulou. For a moment, their faces were quite wonderful.

"Hahaha~ What a Chu Chen, what a Eight Formation Diagram!"

Mr. Ming Jing gave me a high-five, which wiped away the depression just now.

On the other side, Guigu Headmaster Yu Xuzi's face became more and more exciting, with a complicated expression. He was flipping through the memorials back and forth, as if he wanted to find flowers.

This memorial was apparently written by Wanquan County in Yunzhou. In addition to stating the situation reported to the major cities in Wanquan County, it also focused on the great victory of Wanquan Taoist Temple.

Eight great fifth-grade demons were killed, including two late-stage fifth-grade demons, dozens of sixth-grade demons, and thousands of other demons and ferocious beasts, while Wanquan Taoist Temple itself remained intact...

Wanquan County did not invest too much power in Wanquan Taoist Temple. It only reinforced two fifth-grade divine generals and ten thousand troops. It was a classic battle in which the weak defeated the strong.

This achievement, no matter from which angle you look at it, is extremely gorgeous and dazzling.

The most critical turning point in this battle was when Chu Chen, the head of the Wanquan Taoist Academy, set up eight formations and single-handedly resisted the siege of five fifth-grade monsters and dozens of sixth-grade monsters.

Master Yulou had already heard about it from his disciple Han Chen, and immediately smiled and said:

"I heard that fellow Taoist Qingzhu and fellow Taoist Ghost Si Tongda of Wanquan County have no hope of holding on to Wanquan Taoist Temple. They told Chu Chen early in the morning that if he really couldn't hold on, he ordered him to break out with the good seedlings from the Taoist Temple.

Keeping the seeds, no one expected that he would be so proficient in the Eight Formations method, and he would just keep it."

After saying that, Master Yulou looked at Headmaster Guigu who had a complicated look on his side:

"Fellow Taoist Yu Xuzi, do these eight formation techniques come from your Guigu lineage?"

Yu Xuzi's tone was complicated, and he nodded slightly: "Yes! It's exactly the [Eight Formations Method] of my Guigu Patriarch Sun Bin, the unique art of the Sage of War."

Mr. Mingjing, Master Yulou suddenly realized what he said.

"So that's it! It's true that famous teachers give birth to great disciples. It turns out that it came from the hands of fellow Taoist Yu Xuzi."

After hearing the praise from Mr. Mingjing and Mr. Yulou, Yu Xuzi smiled on the surface and felt quite proud, but in his heart he felt extremely guilty and incredible.

My family knows their own affairs.

[Sun Bin’s Eight Formation Technique] was indeed taught to Chu Chen by him.

However, he didn't give much guidance. He just let him comprehend the true meaning of the superior art of war on his own for a period of time. If he had the opportunity in the future, he would give him some guidance.

He is teaching students in accordance with their aptitude, and he only trains students with high talents and understanding in this way.

But...he never expected that in just one year, Chu Chen would make a name for himself.

Although he has not seen Chu Chen's Eight Formation Diagram with his own eyes, he can get a glimpse of it from the victory report. Being able to resist so many demons with his own strength is enough to prove Chu Chen's skill in the "Eight Formation Method".

Extraordinary attainments.

In addition, Chu Chen's own magical powers greatly exceeded his expectations.

The eight-formation method is indeed good at defense, but the main general of the Chinese army is not good at magical powers and can easily be defeated.

People were defeated.

In other words, Chu Chen's Taoist magical powers are extremely impressive, at least comparable to those of late fifth-grade monks.

Yu Xuzi's thoughts were quite complicated. He was glad that a fairy seedling came out of Guigu's lineage, but also regretted that Chu Chen did not come from Shuilian Cave, his direct lineage.

"Ahem~ I don't dare to take credit. It's because of his own talent and extraordinary understanding that he realized the superior [Eight Formation Methods]. In addition, my husband was wise and allowed him to study quietly in the Taoist Academy for two years. During these two years, he devoted himself to

Through practice, I have laid a deep foundation, and my Taoist and magical powers have become more profound."

Yu Xuzi sighed sincerely and casually flattered Mr. Ming Jing.

Mr. Ming Jing was very pleased with what he heard. Chu Chen's promotion and transfer were arranged by him and he was specially trained. Now that he saw Chu Chen shine, he was quite satisfied.
