Chapter nine hundred and seventy-ninth see whether he is smart or stupid
The smoke rolled in the capital of Yunheguo, and the sounds of killing were heard. If you look closely, soldiers and horses were killing everywhere.
Lu Chuan, dressed in armor, was walking in the palace, his eyes calm, as if he could not hear the sound outside at all.
"Master... Now that Yunheguo has been captured, the king of the country has been captured, what should I do next?" Wei Zhong, who was following him, asked respectfully.
"Wei Zhong, don't call me the Grand Marshal in the future. If someone hears it, it may cause trouble." Lu Chuan glanced at Wei Zhong and said, "Although the Grand Marshal may not be concerned about these things, the other two little princes may not think so. We should be cautious when we follow others."
"Yes." Wei Zhong replied.
"I heard that the Grand Marshal has returned and led his troops to attack the Kingdom of Shenmu. The offensive was rapid and many cities were drawn." Lu Chuan said: "It seems that the Kingdom of Shenmu is about to be destroyed, and we naturally cannot be idle. According to my guess, the Han Dynasty will definitely not sit idly by and watch the Kingdom of Shenmu. It will inevitably take action."
Speaking of this, Lu Chuan said: "Reorganize the troops later and don't let the soldiers below be distracted. This battle has not been completed yet. I will write a memorial in person later and request to go to the border to stare at the army of the Han Dynasty."
"Is the general worried that the Han Dynasty would send troops to invade us?" Wei Zhong suddenly realized and said in a little unbelievable way: "Now the Han Dynasty is unable to protect itself, and there is still plenty of energy to fight us?"
"The Han Dynasty is a huge monster, and there is still some power." Lu Chuan smiled coldly and said, "At least they must have decided that they have such strength, but whether it can be done or not, they will only know after fighting. Go, you go to reorganize the troops yourself, and kill the one who is disobedient."
"Yes." Wei Zhong nodded.
"As for the princes and ministers of Yunhe Country..." Lu Chuan pondered for a moment, and it would be a problem to keep them. If it is handed over to the Grand Marshal, it would make the Grand Marshal embarrassed. Let's just recite the infamy."
…………………
After many days of war, Xia Fan's troops did not decrease, but instead continued to expand to an astonishing 500,000. Most of them were recruited by surrendered soldiers from the Kingdom of Shenmu.
These surrendered soldiers may have been a little resistant at first, but after following Xia Fan to attack the city and killing many of their original comrades, they gradually became loyal to Xia Fan.
After all, just by relying on the blood debt they committed, even if they really go back to the Kingdom of Shenmu, they will not get anything good. At the very least, they will be beheaded. In serious cases, they may even implicate their family. Even in order to protect their family, the only thing they can do now is to follow Xia Fan to fight everywhere and destroy the Kingdom of Shenmu as soon as possible.
In this way, without the Kingdom of God's Eye, naturally no one will pursue their sins of surrendering to the enemy and treason.
"The Grand Marshal is here, and there is an emergency information provided by Beiye. This is what my little prince specially ordered Beiye to send it to." During the march, a man in black came to ask for a meeting with Xia Fan.
Xia Fan just glanced at their clothes and recognized that they were probably the No. 1 person around Zhao, so he waved his hand to get closer and took the emergency information he handed over.
The information is not written on paper, but recorded in the spiritual jade, which is more secret and has a smaller possibility of leakage, because there is a ban on it. If you don’t know how to unlock the ban, then forcibly cracking it will only trigger the ban and destroy the spiritual jade.
"Shen Zhong broke through to the early stage of the Grandmaster Realm, and personally led a million troops to intercept the boss. Please be careful to deal with it." Xia Fan used his divine thoughts to sweep the Lingyu, and immediately heard Zhao Wei's words.
"Haha, it's interesting!" Xia Fan crushed the spirit jade casually, but a smile appeared on his mouth.
In fact, Xia Fan clearly has hundreds of thousands of troops in his hand, but he would rather go to the remote Xuantian Cliff than directly attack the capital of the Shenmu Kingdom. In addition to the Xuantian Demon-Sealing Formation on Xuantian Cliff, it is more important to him, which is related to his strategic plan to conquer other worlds in the future, another purpose is to force Shen Zhong to take the initiative to come to him.
If you just fight alone, Xia Fan will naturally take the initiative to attack, so that you can take the initiative in your own hands.
But now he is still leading an army of 500,000. If he runs to attack Shen Zhong now, the situation will be quite unfavorable to him.
The reason is very simple. Xia Fan's current behavior is to lead his troops to invade the Kingdom of Shenmu. However, he is the enemy wherever he goes. Not to mention the army of the Kingdom of Shenmu, even ordinary people may become enemies at any time.
If Xia Fan attacked a relatively prosperous city, then the army against him will not only be the army of the Kingdom of God, but also the local people. Xia Fan dared not fight such battles, but after fighting one after another, he would not get much benefit.
With fighting, there will inevitably be casualties, which is inevitable. It is nothing if you just kill the enemy, but if you accidentally hurt ordinary people, you will inevitably leave deep hatred, which will lead to some trouble in the future.
In addition, although he had a large number of troops, most of them were surrendered from the Kingdom of Shenmu. If they asked them to kill the people of the Kingdom of Shenmu, they might resist, which would lead to deserters or even mutinies.
At the same time, if he really falls into a quagmire of war, Xia Fan is really worried that these surrendered soldiers who have just surrendered will not be able to hold on.
This is different now. He hit him, and in order to stop him, Shen Zhong had to rush over and fight him head-on.
This is actually equivalent to Xia Fan taking the initiative in this battle. At least, Xia Fan has the final say when and where to fight.
In this way, Xia Fan had a way to try his best to smooth out Shen Zhong's advantage in numbers through the benefits of the terrain.
After continuing for a thousand or two miles, after breaking through two not-so-large small towns, Xia Fan asked the army to camp next to a lake with a radius of about twenty miles.
For soldiers and generals, eating and drinking are always the most important things in addition to fighting.
Although the cultivator can fast after his strength reaches a certain level, the soldiers and generals who need to fight cannot do this.
First, the skills practiced by these soldiers are very different from those of orthodox cultivators. In order to obtain strong strength as soon as possible in the early stage, it is inevitable that they will be able to boost growth. This also makes many of them able to cultivate strength comparable to ordinary cultivators, but they cannot reach a very high level.
Basically, if ordinary soldiers can reach the divine realm, they are already considered to have good qualifications and luck. All of this is just because they damaged their foundation in order to gain strong strength in the early days.
People like Ge Changhe who can practice from a sword, shield and soldier into the Tao are definitely rare. Without the opportunity, they will only be a pile of dry bones in the end and will be difficult to immortalize.
Second, the soldiers and generals fight every day, and their blood-like energy is all over their bodies, so they are not as good as ordinary practitioners in their absorption of spiritual energy in heaven and earth.
In this way, if you want to gain enough strength, of course you can only eat it through food.
If it weren't for this, Zhao Wei and Liu Yulinglong wouldn't have to worry about the increasing logistical pressure every day.
The soldiers and generals in the army eat more because they fight frequently and consume a lot of physical strength. The idea of thinking that soldiers and generals can achieve success in their cultivation and then no longer worry about food and grass is definitely a dream.
If you need to eat and drink, you naturally cannot live without a clean water source. The 500,000 army and horses just drink water is a huge number, so when you set up camp, you will definitely choose a place with abundant water and grass.
This lake is called Xiaojing Lake. It is said that it is named because the lake surface is calm and flat like a mirror.
This Xiaojing Lake is definitely a good place. There are no mountains around it. It looks flat and very flat within thousands of miles. In addition, there are several rivers of water converging on Xiaojing Lake, which provides sufficient water for the irrigation of the surrounding fields, which also makes the fields here very fertile.
However, now there is no farmer within a radius of hundreds of miles. The reason is very simple. The 500,000 army marched, and the dust that was about to be stepped on was more than ten miles wide. It floated into the sky like a yellow dragon. As long as you don’t see it, the people ran away early.
Xia Fan issued an order to let the soldiers and generals set up camp, and he no longer had to worry about the rest, and someone would arrange these trivial matters. However, Xia Fan walked around with his hands behind his back.
"Senior Brother, what are you going to do?" Qinglian Taoist girl followed and said with a smile: "Would you please go with you?"
"If you want to come, come together." Xia Fan did not continue and walked outside.
Although Xia Fan seemed not to go fast, with his strength, he could take at least hundreds of miles away. In other words, with the Qinglian Taoist Girl following her, in order to accommodate her, Xia Fan only took a hundred miles away, so that at least the Qinglian Taoist Girl could keep up.
While walking, Xia Fan would occasionally pull out a Ten Thousand Soul Banner, either inserted it on the ground, in the air or in the water.
These ten thousand soul banners were clearly visible in Xia Fan's hands. When they were arranged by him, they gradually disappeared, as if they were merged into one with the surrounding heaven and earth.
"Senior Brother, who are you setting up the formation this time to deal with? He actually set up such a large formation?" Qinglian Taoist woman asked curiously.
"Who else can be there? Of course, it's Shen Zhong and his subordinates." Xia Fan said without hiding it from her.
"Will he be fooled?" Qinglian Daoist asked with a smile.
"That depends on whether he is smart or stupid?" Xia Fan said with a smile.
After walking for a while, after setting up thirty or forty-forty-year-old soul banners, Xia Fan grabbed the Qinglian Taoist girl's hand and jumped several times and appeared on Xuantian Cliff.
Xuantianya is now very different from when Xia Fan killed the ancestor Hetian. After being arranged by the old man Zhenshou and his disciples, he already has some appearance as a temple.
Although it seems that it cannot be compared with the temples of the three religions and six sects at first glance, at least it has a large framework that can be filled in slowly in the future. It will always be able to develop some foundation after tens of hundred years.
"See the Lord." The old man of the formation felt Xia Fan coming, and hurried over to see the ceremony and said, "I heard not long ago that the Lord was leading troops and wanted to come over to greet him in person, but not long ago, the Xuantian Demon-Sealing Formation was a little shocked, so I could only stay and suppress it. If the courtesy is not enough, please forgive me."
