Chapter 2: Bloodshed on the battlefield and escape from the Immortal Gate
Chapter 113 Helpless
"Lieutenant, there is no need to be polite!"
The emperor didn't wait for Jiang Tainian to finish singing his promise, but he quickly stepped forward and helped Jiang Tainian up.
As for Ye Feng, he didn't care about etiquette. He just stood behind Jiang Tainian expressionlessly like a transparent person, which was really funny.
"Your Majesty, veteran..."
Jiang Tainian stood up and just started to speak, but was interrupted by the emperor again:
"Don't worry, Lieutenant. There are no outsiders in the Jinluan Hall today. Please sit down first."
The Jinluan Hall is a place where courtiers discuss matters. Except for the True Dragon Chair on the True Dragon Platform, there are no seats elsewhere, so the emperor supported Jiang Tainian and walked up to the True Dragon Platform.
It was obvious that the emperor had already made preparations. Another seat had been placed next to the dragon chair. Jiang Tainian did not show any pretense and sat down gracefully.
There was no one else in the Jinluan Palace. Even the eunuch who led the way had already exited. Ye Feng did not follow and just stood in the hall.
In fact, Jiang Tainian had expected these things, and had told Ye Feng about them on the way here, so Ye Feng had already been mentally prepared. Everything was exactly as Jiang Tainian predicted, which made Ye Feng feel amazing and secretly sighed that politics was really not something he could understand.
"Lieutenant, how could I not know that the border is in danger? I have already had trouble sleeping and eating. But you also know that I am just a bare emperor now. I can't issue orders outside the imperial city. I am really powerless."
Wu State first went to war against Jiang State. There was not much suspense in the war at first, because Jiang State did not have a team of monks at all. The monks from the forward camp of Wu State collapsed with one attack, and the army then covered up and killed them. Basically, there was no decent enemy.
After resisting, Jiang's millions of troops were almost completely wiped out.
Yunzhu City fell into the hands of Wu State without any suspense. Wu State originally launched a war to destroy the country, so it did not immediately attack Yuntian City where Jiang State's imperial city was located. Instead, it transferred a large number of officials from Wu State and began
Fully taken over, Yunzhu City was completely integrated into the Kingdom of Wu.
A year later, Wu State and Jiang State launched a decisive battle. This time, Qingshui State sent a large army to support Jiang State in an attempt to defeat Wu State by attacking from both sides.
It's a pity that Wu State's method was to siege the city and mobilize reinforcements. The purpose was to mobilize the elites of Qingshui State. Otherwise, a hard attack would inevitably lead to a war of attrition and the losses would be huge.
After the Qingshui Kingdom's rescue army was surrounded and annihilated, the Jiang Kingdom's royal family knew that the situation was over, so they abandoned the city and fled to the West Qi Dynasty. Of course, this was also planned by the Wu Kingdom, and their pockets were already in trouble on their only way.
All the royal family members were wiped out, and the Jiang Kingdom was destroyed.
No repairs were made this time, and the emperor ordered the army to go straight to Qingshui Country to kill.
The Qingshui Kingdom was also a vassal state of the Western Qi Dynasty and controlled two cities. When they sent a large army to rescue the Jiang Kingdom, the Wu Kingdom led another army led by Yun Jiansheng to attack the imperial city.
The Qingshui State misjudged the strength of the Wu State, and mobilized its army to support the Jiang State, leaving the country empty. In desperation, it adopted the strategy of losing its troops to protect its commanders, and urgently dispatched troops from the attached city to support the imperial city. Unfortunately, it happened to fall into the Wu State's trick of luring the snake out of its hole.
Falling into the pocket formation that had been laid out long ago, the entire army was wiped out, and the soldiers attached to the city fell into the hands of Wu without any help.
The Qingshui Kingdom, which had no retreat, was united and could not retreat. The war completely turned into a war of attrition. However, now that the Wu Kingdom controlled four cities and had a large array of strength, the war of attrition could not last more than a year. The Qingshui Kingdom completely collapsed, and the people in the city collapsed.
It was directly the opposite. So far, the four cities of Jiang State and Qingshui State fell into the hands of the Wu State. The Wu State, which controlled the five cities, had a population of over 100 million and began to cultivate and thrive. Five years later, it had millions of soldiers and a huge team of monks.
The strength can completely crush any of the four great dynasties.
And you have not been idle in the past five years. Your own cultivation is already in the late stage of foundation establishment. Although Yun Feiyang's physical cultivation is only in the early stage of foundation establishment, it is already clear and familiar to you, even in the previous three years.
In the war, you have also broken through to the middle stage of foundation building. In the past five years, you have closed a small level and successfully advanced to the late stage of foundation building. But what surprised you is Bai Ling. In just eight years, she has reached the peak of foundation building. You can do it at any time.
The impact has formed a core.
A month after you left the country, the emperor personally presided over the wedding of Yun Jiansheng and Ji Yuyan, and the whole country celebrated. A month later, you and Bai Ling got married. However, Bai Ling was nominally your princess, but you did not
To consummate your marriage with her, you tell her that you will not force her to do anything before she recovers her memory. What you need is her true love, so you hope that she will remember your past and truly fall in love with you after she recovers her memory.
respect for her.
Bai Ling should be a little confused. You know that although memories can be erased, some unforgettable things will still exist subconsciously, so he is very satisfied with your proposal, and you will maintain this special relationship for the time being.
But it's normal for monks, after all, they spend most of their time practicing.
Time passed and another three years passed. Wu State was so strong that it finally launched a war again. This time it was against the Xiqi Dynasty. The Xiqi Dynasty was the bottom of the four dynasties and only controlled five cities. Even before
They are unable to completely conquer the Jiang State and Qingshui State. They exist as vassal states, so their overall strength is not at the same level as that of the Wu State.
Half a year later, the Wu State led an army of 100,000 as the vanguard, and the monk battalion of 3,000 men attacked the Western Qi State with sharp knives. Yun Jiansheng led an army of 500,000 as the left army, and General Long Wei led five soldiers.
A hundred thousand troops formed the right-wing army. General Zhu Guo Lao Dang Yizhuang led a million-strong middle army and took over the Western Qi Dynasty with unstoppable momentum.
Although the Xiqi Dynasty was weaker, it still had a population of over 100 million and an army of millions, and it still had the power to fight a war. Therefore, the war would not be defeated in one blow, but would require a considerable war of attrition.
Of course, there is a great disparity in strength after all. After more than ten battles in a year, the army of the Western Qi Dynasty was finally unable to fight anymore. When they were retreating, the Wu army seized the opportunity to attack with all their troops. The original planned retreat quickly turned into a
Defeated, this battle was a bloodbath with countless casualties.
Three years later, Xiqi State had only the last city left, Xiqi City, and the other five cities had been returned to Wu State. Wu State, which took over the five cities, had good policies and the people of the five cities supported them very much. The army of the former dynasty
Most of them were also incorporated, so their military strength was more than doubled.
The final battle in Xiqi City was naturally a bloody battle. After all, the Xiqi nobles had no retreat and could only fight. Xiqi City was a super big city with a radius of three thousand miles. It had a strong city and abundant supplies. If you wanted to die, you would be trapped.
It's impossible, there's no good way other than a strong attack.
This kind of super big city also has a huge advantage, and that is the city defense formation. The city defense formation is like the formation on the sword cliff. Once the spiritual power is turned on, it will be isolated, so the monks basically cannot perform their duties.
