One hundred and seventy-three, please call me emperor
"Be adventurous. In fact, Nanfeng Yunlu may not be the place that must be saved!"
Kong Yao pondered and said: "I, Dagan, still have an army of 300,000 in Nanfeng. One month ago, we have recruited millions of warriors, and we can still sustain it for a while. If we can take advantage of the civil strife in Dachang at this time, the whole army will be able to survive." When we take the Central Plains, we only need to devote some effort to defeat the Shi family's 700,000-strong army. What worries me is that Shi Yue's methods should not stop there."
"To resist my Da Gan, Shi Yue naturally cannot use this method."
The one who spoke at this time was Zhang Huai who came in the air. He had been hiding in Jiuchi Palace to watch the battle, but now the army had won, so he ran out and happened to hear the words of the two men.
"Don't forget that his father Shi Qianli is now General Dingnan and Governor of Subeizhou. He controls one continent and seven provinces, and nearly 200,000 troops!"
Zong Shou and Kong Yao looked at each other, but they didn't know about this matter. The latter's face showed even more solemnity.
Shi Qianli?
The Shi family was one of the only five powerful families among the big merchants. Because of Emperor Yuanchen's fear, they had been relegated to the lower ranks for many years, and their reputation was not visible.
However, Kong Yao had heard of this man. His military skills were by no means inferior to Fei Yin's, and he was even more powerful.
There has long been a legend among the Northern Wilderness Army that Fei Yin, as commander, can make the northern barbarians return in defeat many times, but if Shi Qianli is commander, he can make those tribes not dare to invade the south.
"It's just Governor Su Beizhou, with only 200,000 soldiers. The great merchant is marching south, and I'm afraid he has already reduced all his elite troops——"
"But there is another Ishikoshi!"
Zhang Huai shook his head and said: "The world under the jurisdiction of Shiyue is different from the Daqian Immortal Dynasty. It is surrounded by enemies, and it is necessary to guard against the shadow demons and night demons. It is impossible to return with only 700,000 people this time. It's just an army. The key is the Baisheng Pass and the Yangtze River!"
Zong Shou only thought about it briefly and understood what Zhang Huai meant.
Baishenguan is located to the east of Dashang, to the west of western Zhejiang, and close to Ganxi Island. The terrain is dangerous and it guards the southeastern key point.
As long as there are enough troops to block this place, even if there are tens of millions of soldiers, it will be difficult to break through.
As for the Yangtze River, in this water system of the Great Shang Dynasty, the situation is reversed from that of the Min River. The boatmen of the Great Shang Dynasty there are prosperous, but on the Great Shang side, they are completely blank.
Even at its narrowest point, the Yangtze River reaches more than 40,000 feet. Without the cover of naval divisions, it would be almost impossible for a large army to cross the river.
As the governor of Su Beizhou, Shi Qianli also had the authority to dispatch the naval forces.
Will the strong man cut off his wrist? Completely abandon the five continents in the south, gather millions of troops and horses, and guard the key point of Baisheng Pass, thereby protecting the remaining territory of the Great Shang.
This is what Shi Yue said, the general needs to know the way to choose, right?
"It's still the same problem as before."
Kong Yao shook his head and said: "That Shi Qianli is just the governor of Subeizhou, with limited powers! He can't control the western Zhejiang area. Even if Shi Yue rescues Yin Yu and gets the imperial edict from Emperor Yuanchen, he can take charge of the southeast war. At this time, he will be transferred Soldiers also need time. The south is flat, and I attack with cavalry, and there is nothing that can be done for thousands of miles."
“Just give the edict beforehand!”
Seeing Zong Shou and Kong Yao, they were both stunned. Zhang Huai smiled and said: "Given the current situation of Emperor Yuan Chen, he has no intention to care about these things. Instead, he has to rely on them. And this matter, for Shi It can be said that the family has a lot of benefits, don’t you think Shi Qianli wouldn’t dare to do so? The noble families in the Central Plains are all famous for being domineering and bold!”
Kong Yao was horrified, and then he realized that his way of life and thinking were completely different from those of those aristocratic families.
I was a general in Shang Dynasty at that time, and I was very loyal. I would never dare to violate His Majesty's orders, as I regarded them as imperial edicts.
However, these aristocratic families are different. In their own fiefdoms, they can even ignore the national laws.
Others cannot do this kind of thing. As the head of the Shi family, Shi Qianli has no pressure at all. He will not worry about the opinions of Emperor Yuan Chen.
If that's the case, that would be really troublesome.
"Actually, it's a good thing. It's like a snake swallowing an image. Even if I can swallow it, I will have to face more troubles. If I don't do it right, my belly will be burst. It's better to solidify the foundation after this battle and make plans again. !The land south of the Yangtze River is also rich. It is a land of fish and rice. The grain output is several times higher than that of other lands. It is also densely populated and has spiritual stone veins, which is only inferior to Huizhou. The tax revenue accounts for almost half of the country of Dashang. The income is equivalent to seven In Tianfang Realm, because corruption is rampant and controlled by those aristocratic families, most of the annual income goes into private pockets. Although the martial arts here is slightly weaker, it can complement the east and south. If it is managed well, it can be I will unify the cloud world with an unshakable foundation!"
As if worried that Zong Shou and Kong Yao would not give in, Zhang Huai kept talking.
However, Zong Shou always felt disappointed. In fact, being able to swallow these five continents safely was a great satisfaction and great joy to him.
No matter in the past or in the future, these five southern continents are the essence of the Cloud Realm and the tax-rich areas!
All it takes is a wave of demonic atmosphere to eliminate all the accumulated disadvantages. Just these five continents, in a few years, will definitely surpass the Yunlu in the east. It is not a problem to support tens of millions of troops without resorting to military force.
But at this moment, his mind was no longer here.
"The power of Daqian has been established, and there is no need to take risks. After this battle, you can order Ren Tianxing to command 800,000 elite troops and rush to Nanfeng Yunlu to take control. The rest of the troops will be commanded by Concubine Yao and assisted by Zhang Huai. Defeat the Minhe River. After the Northern Shang Army, he is responsible for conquering the Central Plains! He has the right to make decisions on the fly——"
Both Kong Yao and Zhang Huaidu leaned over to answer their orders. Although there were thousands of merchants and tens of thousands of soldiers in the north of the Min River, they were not in their eyes.
Without Taoist soldiers to support them, we only need to use iron cavalry to cut off their retreat and cut off their food and grass.
In ten days at most, this 16 million army will collapse.
Zong Shou gave them the right to make decisions on the fly, for the sake of the Shi family.
If the Baisheng Pass is really blocked by the Shi family, they will be able to stop the Great Shang Dynasty in several southern states. But if not, then there is no need to be polite to the Great Shang.
As for Nanfeng Yunlu, the Shi family's 700,000-strong army is not enough to pose a threat. The 4 million martial arts spiritual masters recruited by Qiu Wei are being organized and trained.
As long as Nanfeng Yunlu can stabilize and suppress the rebellious cities, it will take at most three months to stabilize.
If Shi Yue is wiser, he should leave early.
"The blood cloud cavalry will be expanded to 50,000, try to recruit six-level experts, and train 30,000 black fox cavalry in the cloud world. In addition, you can select elites from all the armies!"
In Zong Shou's eyes, a sharp light appeared: "Issue an edict to destroy the demons! Order the warriors in the world to hunt down the disciples of the Demon Sect. If you kill a disciple of the ninth level, you will be rewarded with an eighth level spiritual stone. The higher the cultivation level, the higher the reward. Daqian The library can also be opened. As long as you kill more than a hundred people, you can choose one of the seventh-level martial arts and spiritual arts in the library and copy them. This time, I want to wipe out all the demons!"
Mainly martial arts, this time Zong Shou was outside and he really picked up a lot of martial arts spiritual techniques.
Mainly, a small half of the inheritance of the Jiudu Immortal Dynasty fell into his hands. Also, during the Jiujue Death Prison, the nearly two hundred immortal cultivators also had their own inheritances, many of which had top magical powers.
The eighth level penetrates the earth, the ninth level shakes the sky, and even the tenth level Holy Spirit.
Zong Shou naturally looks down upon it, but to those casual cultivators in the Yun Realm who have scarce resources, it is extremely precious. If you miss this time, it will not be so easy to find the ultimate technique in the future.
Kong Yao and Zhang Huai were not surprised. The Taoist sect had done something similar before, but Zong Shou went to the middle of the country that day and massacred thirty-seven sects in a row.
It has already been seen that the hostility in Zong Shou's chest is deep-rooted. It is extremely difficult to endure it until now.
But at this time, there was no need to endure it anymore. The Demon Sect's Taoist soldiers were almost exhausted at this time.
Except for the strong men in the Holy Realm who can restrain them, the Demon Sect has no power to fight against Da Gan. Those spiritual mansions, spiritual mountains, and holy places are like lambs being slaughtered for anyone to kill.
But in this case, we have to divide our troops again. We take Baisheng Pass down and continue to peek into the southwest of Dashang. The possibility of entering the Central Plains from the upper reaches of the Yangtze River becomes a little smaller.
However, firstly, the possibility was extremely slim, and secondly, we knew that Zongshou had already made up his mind and could no longer be dissuaded. So they all remained silent and did not speak. They only had some objections to the reward offered by Zongshou.
"Your Majesty, I don't have many spiritual stones, so I need to raise an army. It's better to focus on open martial arts spiritual methods. Your Majesty's conditions are also lower. Those who kill hundreds of demon disciples can choose the seventh-level martial arts spiritual methods. The eighth level requires at least a thousand people, or at least ten spiritual demon cultivators. The ninth level requires ten fairy cultivators——"
The magic method is so special that it can be detected in corpses, so we are not afraid of fraud!"
Zong Shou raised his eyebrows, not commenting, but it was already his acquiescence.
At this time, everyone outside the Sky Territory gradually calmed down. The power of the three religions of Hedao, Demon and Confucianism had deployed the Infinite Sky Forbidden Sky and the Absolute Domain Demonic Forbidden Formation, which had been evacuated in advance.
And those spiritual thoughts that reached the realm no longer filled the void.
The clouds above the battlefield dispersed, and wisps of sunlight shone down. The private Taoist soldiers of the aristocratic families had been completely routed by the Blood Cloud Cavalry led by Zong Yuan. By this time, they had no power to resist and had to surrender.
Zong Shou looked into the void with cold eyes. Although those people had left, those thoughts still locked him firmly and lingered around him.
A trace of malice rushed over.
Zong Shou sneered and was not afraid. If these people in the realm did not take action personally, just their divine thoughts would not be able to crush him!
While Zong was watching the sky, the soldiers on the battlefield below were looking at him.
As the yin power of the yin-yang nail needle dissipated, the white pillar of air disappeared without a trace. Xiaori also put away his unicorn shape and lay on Zong Shou's shoulder with a lazy expression.
But at this time, under the sunlight, the white jade imperial chariot was surrounded by colorful spiritual lights, still looking extremely sacred.
"Holy King!"
One person knelt down, and hundreds of thousands of people on the battlefield also knelt down.
"Long live the Holy King!"
"I am invincible in every attack and invincible in every battle!"
A sound like a roaring mountain and a tsunami rolled in. He smiled broadly and bowed solemnly: "If the name is not correct, then the words will not be correct. I invite you to proclaim yourself the emperor!" (To be continued. If you like this work, Welcome to register as a member of Piaotian Literature to recommend this work.
