He and his soldiers ate raw meat like this, and more than half of the people in Youzhou died in the mouths of the Nian beasts, which only ate humans and nothing else.
Therefore, there is no shortage of food and grass in Youzhou.
What they lack is a big victory. They have never won a victory since the Nian Beast Rebellion until now.
Originally, the battle initiated by Chang Wuji in Fanyang County had the best chance of winning.
In that battle, all three Earth Immortals and four Martial Saints from Youzhou took action, as well as more than 500 city emperors who helped out.
Chang Wuji launched a charge again and again without fear of death. But there were too many Nian beasts!
The despair of being unclear can't be described in words. Moreover, the skins and flesh of these beasts are rough and thick, and only warriors in the bone training realm can hurt them.
Some of their leaders are even more powerful than the Martial Saints!
The strongest one among them is said to have the strength of a human immortal.
At this time, Liu Shan is on the front line facing the Nian beast!
The faces of his soldiers were filled with despair!
If this continues, there is no need to wait for the Nian beast to come, they will collapse on their own.
But Liu Shan has already said too many words to encourage morale.
"General, does the court ignore us?" One of the soldiers asked the question that everyone was most worried about.
"How is that possible!" Liu Shan's chapped lips split open with a smile. "This Nian Beast is a catastrophe affecting the entire world. How could the imperial court ignore it?"
"General, someone is coming from the other side!" a soldier shouted.
"There are all Nian beasts over there, how can there be people there?" Liu Shan also scratched his neck to observe.
"I am Zuo Jun's brother!"
The Youzhou Left Army was the elite led by Chang Wuji, and they suffered all casualties in the first battle.
"Let him come over." Liu Shan said.
After a while someone brought him.
That man was so clean that he looked like people from two different worlds from Liu Shan and the others who were covered in blood. Seeing his appearance, Liu Shan probably knew the purpose of his trip.
"Brother's name is Qin Jiang!"
"I recognize you." Liu Shan said lukewarmly, "General Chang's bodyguard. How did you survive? What are you doing here?"
"It's hard to tell what I survived. The purpose of my trip is to give my brothers a way to survive." Qin Jiang said with a smile.
"A way to survive?"
"The Nian God asked me to tell you that as long as you believe in him, he will give you a way to survive. When he takes over the whole world, we will be people who follow God.
At that time, the whole world can be left to us to govern.
As long as we sacrifice some children to him every year, he will not care about anything else!" Qin Jiang's face was full of piety.
There was not much fluctuation in Liu Shan's eyes.
But he was not at all calm in his heart. This monster had developed intelligence.
"What can he give me if he surrenders?" Liu Shan asked.
As soon as this statement came out, many people in the big tent looked at him.
However, Liu Shan's prestige was extremely high, so no one asked any questions.
"There are thirteen states in Daqian, and we can give you the richest Suzhou." Qin Jiang said with a smile. "If you hand over 10,000 children under the age of eight on the last day of every year, you will be the king of Suzhou!"
"I need to think about it again!" Liu Shan said after thinking for a moment.
"I understand!" Qin Jiang said with a smile. If Liu Shan agreed straight away, he would think there was a problem. "But I can only give you three days. After three days, all beasts will attack the city!"
"I understand." Liu Shan nodded.
At night, Qin Jiang returned to the lair of the Nian beasts, who had hollowed out a large mountain as their lair.
There were more than a dozen people who surrendered together with Qin Jiang.
"Did that person agree?" Nian asked.
It is the first one released by the Taoist priest, and it is the only one qualified to be called Nian!
Other monsters can only be called Nian beasts.
At this time, Nian's size has increased several times, and its strength is comparable to that of the most powerful immortal.
"I give him three days." Qin Jiang knelt down and said piously, "but I don't think he will reply in three days."
Nian snorted.
"That's good!"
In the city!
Liu Shan gathered everyone together.
The quarrel in the general's palace lasted all afternoon, and in the evening Liu Shan came out with three heads.
"Give the three of them a grand burial and open the city gate tonight!" Liu Shan said calmly.
"Yes Yes!"
Qin Jiang took the people sent by Liu Shan to meet Nian.
Nian looked at him with those red eyes.
It makes sure the person didn't lie to him!
"Tonight we will send the Nian beast to occupy Xiongcheng Pass!" It spoke human words.
After Qin Jiang and the man left, a Nian beast roared.
Nian said in human language, "If we eat all the people, what will we eat in the future?
Humans can raise pigs and sheep...from now on they are the pigs and sheep we raise!"
Nian continued, "And if everyone is eaten, heaven will definitely intervene."
A Nian beast roared again.
"If we feed them, they will only pray more devoutly for God's blessing, and then Heaven will not care.
I'm afraid it won't be that simple when I come out this time.
I don’t believe it without heaven’s calculations!” Nian said with a smile.
"Tonight you take ten thousand beasts and occupy Xiongcheng Pass!
Xiongchengguan! Human beings always give names."
At night, the fire illuminated the entire Xiongcheng Pass, and Liu Shan stood in the fire.
The firelight illuminated the side of his face.
He looked into the distance calmly, and even took a special bath during the day.
The Xiongcheng Pass under his feet has a long history. When Daqian was established, Zhao Yuanjun once attacked the Eighteenth Route Army here.
In the end, the Eighteenth Route Army failed to capture the city even after half a year, so Zhao Yuanjun named the place Xiongchengguan.
There have been many rebellions in the history of Daqian.
But this heroic city pass has never been breached.
This time the barrier is broken!
When ten thousand Nian beasts gather together, it is very scary.
Liu Shan looked calm as he watched them walk in one by one.
Although Xiongchengguan is called a pass, it is actually a big city.
The leader of the Nian beast wrinkled its nose, and it realized something was wrong. But by the time it discovered it, it was already too late.
Qin Jiang walked up to Liu Shan with a smile and wanted to pat him on the shoulder.
From now on they will be their own people.
His hand has not yet touched Liu Shan.
But Liu Shan's sword was unsheathed first.
Qin Jiang's head fell to the ground with a knife.
The largest Nian beast pounced directly on him, but it didn't see fear in this human's eyes.
There was something in his eyes that it couldn't understand.
The Dragon Gate in Xiongcheng Pass fell, and the Nian Beast Gate couldn't escape with its wings.
The fierce fire oil poured on all the Nian beasts, and also on Liu Shan's body.
He is the spark that starts a prairie fire, and then the sky is filled with flames!
"There are fifty-one guards at Xiongcheng Pass. Xiongcheng Pass has never been breached for hundreds of years. This Xiongcheng Pass will not be breached even in my hands." Liu Shan roared.
Then his voice was drowned out by the screams and wails of the Nian beast.
