Chapter 307: Unstoppable (Part 1)
In the military tent.
Li Xun woke up faintly, and saw a series of spiritual lights falling on his body.
Several figures around him were relieved after seeing him wake up and casting spells to detect. .
Du Si saw that Li Xun looked solemn and asked, "What happened?"
Li Xun shook his head repeatedly and said, "Maybe I am a little tired of dealing with military affairs these days."
The people in the tent heard this and did not continue to ask questions. As long as they were not possessed or cursed, everyone would have hundreds of secrets in their hearts.
Everyone expressed concern for a few words, left some pills, and left.
After a while.
Chen Ying and Du Si came out to the tent and waved their hands to set up a soundproof ban.
"It has been arranged outside, and it will never be discovered by others."
Chen Ying said, "What happened?"
Li Xun had an agreement with the two of them long ago that if there was something inconvenient to say in public, shaking his head three times meant to discuss it privately after three quarters of an hour.
Luozhou Prefecture has many soldiers and eyes, and the people in Yanwang Mansion cannot be trusted, not to mention the relatives who come to surrender.
In such a large military camp, Li Xun can only trust Chen and Du. The reason why Li Xun was appointed was not because of the friendship between the poor and the humble or the name of the Bamboo Saint, but because they were good friends of Zhou Yi.
After more than ten years of fighting in the south and the north, the only person who made Li Xun feel unfathomable was Mr. Zhou.
Always calm and unhurried.
It seems that the most unattainable things in the world, such as the dragon throne that Li Xun occasionally secretly dreamed of, are just that in Mr. Zhou's eyes.
Friends of such people can certainly be trusted!
It's a pity that Mr. Zhou is traveling, otherwise he will definitely be invited to be a military advisor.
Li Xun gathered his thoughts, pointed to the map on the table, and said, "I dreamed of an immortal not long ago. He gave me the map of the Qingqiu Demon Kingdom and the secret method of contacting the human clan outside the domain."
The map detailedly marked the mountains and rivers, the location of the demon city, and the strength of the defense.
Some of the famous demon cities even have the identity of the city lord, who is good at magic, personality and quirks, etc.
"Such a detailed map, either it has been outside the domain for a long time, or there is a gap in Qingqiu."
Du Si said: "As for the human clan outside the domain, I have heard a little about it. It seems that it was built by Taizu as a barrier to Dagan. However, it has not been in contact for thousands of years. It is hard to say what the relationship is with Dagan!"
Chen Ying asked curiously: "Is it the Immortal Riding a Bull?"
Nowadays, the most famous immortal in Dagan is this one. Not only does he have several immortal relics, but he also fought with the Protector of the Country Martial Saint in the sky above Luojing not long ago.
"We haven't really seen the appearance of an immortal, and we wouldn't recognize him even if we met him in person."
Li Xun said, "Let's not talk about immortals for now. Tell me, should we hand over this map and sect information to the Central Army?"
Du Si and Chen Ying suddenly looked solemn and thought silently.
According to normal practice, it must be handed over to the Central Army.
First, the authenticity of the information can be confirmed through the court. There are many evil people in the world who pretend to be gods. Second, the Central Army has the information, which is far more useful than them.
Du Si shook his head slowly and said, "I think we should postpone the report!"
"Why?"
Li Xun frowned slightly. He thought Du Si would choose to report it, and Chen Ying would probably object.
From the many articles written by Du Si, he really belonged to the great scholar who served the country and the people. In the face of major issues, Li Xun did not think he was comparable to the people of the country.
"Have you forgotten the rumor before the Southern Expedition?"
Du Si said: "Several spiritual masters received a message saying that there was a traitor in the court and the Southern Expedition to Qingqiu would fail."
"Of course I remember."
Chen Ying said: "Because of this rumor, the court officials searched up and down, but they didn't find the traitor, but they solved several murders."
Zhang Cheng sent a message to his friends in Beijing and the officials he knew in the court, which caused an uproar.
The Southern Expedition was suspended for more than ten days. The Dragon Guarding Department personally investigated thoroughly. All the officials in the court and the generals of the Southern Expedition were all put on the mirror of conscience.
Everyone has a little secret that is not to be seen.
The evil object of the mirror of conscience was not originally prepared for adults, but the first time it was used, it can be said that it revealed all kinds of human nature.
Many of the officials who seemed to be close friends privately scolded each other for not being a son of man.
Or they seemed to be enemies, but in fact they were in-laws of each other's father-in-law, in order to prevent the emperor from suspecting that they were forming cliques.
In the end, the Qingqiu spy was not discovered, but the court was in chaos.
Today we pointed fingers at each other in the court, and tomorrow we will write a divorce letter together and never have any contact with each other again.
Seeing this, Emperor Hongde issued an order to end the matter. There was no Qingqiu spy in the court at all. It was a rumor spread by monsters from outside the domain.
Li Xun suddenly realized: "Mr. Du means that there is really a traitor in the army?"
"No one knows whether there is or not!"
Du Si said: "If this southern expedition goes smoothly, the Qingqiu monster country will be destroyed. This map and sect information are not very useful. If there is, the spy gets the information, but it will expose the Taoist friends from outside the domain!"
Li Xun nodded and said: "That makes sense!"
Chen Ying looked at the map carefully and said: "This monster city is too weak. With this map, we can break the city by ourselves, and there is no need for the court!"
Li Xun has more than 200,000 soldiers under his command, and ordinary monster cities only have more than a thousand monster soldiers.
Of course, the monster people in the city can also be regarded as monster soldiers, and all of them are only more than 10,000.
"Then I won't report it."
Li Xun secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He didn't really want to report it, but he might have to go through a self-examination.
If he said something he shouldn't, such as the scene of sitting on the dragon throne in his dream, the Zhongshan King's lineage would be cut off.
"The immortal also left a treasure, saying that when the army is defeated, you can call him by name, or it may be able to turn things around."
Li Xun opened his chest, revealing nine flame dragon tattoos, connected end to end like a bell jar.
Du Si cast a spell and felt the pure Yang aura emanating from the tattoo. He believed in the true immortal in his heart and said.
"So the Immortal Chief also wants us to act as a backup. If the army is defeated, there is still room for recovery!"
Li Xun nodded and said.
"I just hope that this backhand will never be used!"
Then the three of them began to study many demonic cities based on the map and thought of ways to destroy them in advance.
This map cannot affect the overall outcome. For them, it is enough to double their military success.
…
Several days.
It went by in a flash.
Dashun handed over his credentials and the road to Qingqiu has been built.
Emperor Hongde immediately issued an edict and the entire army marched forward.
Once the people pass through, there are thousands of mountains and seas, not to mention an army of more than five million, which is boundless.
Fortunately, Daqian was not an ordinary dynasty. In the army, there were monks who sent and received messages up to the level of captain of thousands, and there were even experts in refining the gods to assist them up to the level of general.
In this way, the five million army advanced and retreated in an orderly manner without any chaos.
Li Xun received a troop transfer order personally signed by Emperor Hongde, the marshal of the world's military forces, and he and his soldiers were assigned to Zhenhaiwei.
General Sha, the commander-in-chief of Zhenhai Guards, then sent an order to set off immediately.
Half a month later, they crossed Dashun and reached the eastern part of Qingqiu. They surrounded Qingqiu with seven other armies from east to west.
Chen Ying clicked his tongue and said: "The Ministry of War has been discussing for more than half a year, and they just thought of an eight-party encirclement?"
"The art of war pursues victory, not mastery and mystery!"
Du Si said: "A simple and effective method, without all the complicated strategies in the middle, is more difficult to crack. The Ministry of War just wants to fight a tough battle and does not give the Qingqiu Demon Kingdom room to use its tactics!"
"Leave!"
Li Xun gave an order.
"Leave!"
"Departure..."
Orders were sent to all levels, and the camp was immediately raised and marched into Dashun.
Dashun was the original barbarian territory, slender from east to west, basically stretching along the southern border of Daqian. It is narrow from north to south, with the eastern half adjacent to Qingqiu Demon Kingdom and the western half adjacent to Tanggu.
The territory is full of famous or unknown peaks. After moving the mountains, three passages were opened.
Li Xun led his men into the mountain pass on the east side, sloping all the way to the southeast, and the exit was somewhere in the Qingqiu Demon Kingdom.
"The mountain road is long and narrow, and millions of troops are stretched out for dozens of miles. If the Qingqiu demon soldiers ambush somewhere, will they cause heavy casualties?"
Li Xun was riding a horse and looking at the cliffs on the left and right, there seemed to be monster soldiers lurking.
The second-grade general soldier can ride on the Zhenhai Guardhouse ship, which is fast and comfortable. Li Xun said that he was afraid of heights and marched on horseback with his soldiers.
"Won't!"
Du Si shook his head and said: "The territory of Dashun is protected by the god of plague. If the Qingqiu demon soldiers dare to come, it will be like provoking the true god."
"True immortal, true god..."
Li Xun sighed and suddenly whispered: "The battle between Daqian and Qingqiu is related to the rise and fall of a country. Dashun is in such a critical position, but it is safe and sound. Do you think this ordinary war is a boring game of gods and gods? "
"Be careful what you say!"
Du Si looked up at the sky and said, "Maybe the god of plague is paying attention to you and me."
"Haha, how is it possible? The true God is so high above us, how could he care about the world?"
Although Li Xun said this, he dropped the topic and did not continue the discussion.
Above the sky.
Yang Qi, the messenger of plague, was looking down at Li Xun and others.
Daqian's army had just passed a temple. Yang Qi sensed Zhou Yi's aura and immediately lowered his avatar to investigate.
"This little guy is indeed quite accurate. Although mortal war is not a game, it is really about carrying out the will of the gods."
…
Giant Ape City.
The demon city in the east of Qingqiu.
The formations on the city wall were flashing with light, and demon soldiers were patrolling back and forth, prohibiting any living beings from entering or exiting.
The ape general on duty, wearing strong armor and armed with military equipment, was drinking and eating meat on the city wall.
Quack quack!
The fangs and sharp teeth easily chewed up the thigh bone, swallowed the meat and bone residue together, licked his lips, and waved to summon the barbecue cook.
General Ape picked out a piece of meat from his mouth and said, "This meat is getting old today, Qiya!"
The cook's legs were so frightened that he knelt down and kept kowtowing: "Your Majesty, please forgive me! Let me bake again..."
“Don’t bother baking it again!”
As he spoke, he grabbed the cook's head and crushed it into pieces, dripping with water.
General Ape took a gentle breath, and the mixture of red and white fell into his mouth. The smell of blood made him particularly satisfied.
“The human brain is really delicious!”
"This kind of eating method is still recorded in the human book!"
"Quickly go to the city and capture a few people. I, the general, want to eat enough. Remember to capture the young ones. The old ones have too dry brains..."
The demon soldiers under his command immediately took the order, rushed into the city, and arrested everyone they saw, regardless of whether they were good citizens or not, and whether they had masters or not.
Qingqiu Paradise has already issued an order that the human army is about to invade. In order to prevent spies from inside the city, all thigh-high human men must be strictly guarded!
With strict supervision, it can be safely eaten in the stomach!
The demon soldiers captured a dozen people, ate a few due to hunger on the way, and escorted seven more to the city wall.
The ape general was so greedy that he grabbed one and was about to enjoy it. From a distance, he saw the escaping light flying towards the giant ape city.
"Stop the demon!"
General Ape waved the man aside and said loudly: "Where did he come from? Tell me your name quickly!"
The light suddenly stopped, and it turned out to be a human race.
"I am the messenger of the blessed land. I have something important to tell the Black Ape King. Open the city gate quickly!"
"It's actually a person! Then we can't open the gate. Who knows if it's a human spy?"
General Ape said: "Whatever the blessed land has to say, just tell us."
"Okay!"
The visitor nodded and said: "This time I came to inform the Black Ape King that the Red Dragon City has been broken. No one in the city survived. You must be careful!"
General Yuan asked in confusion: "Senior Red Dragon and my ancestor are close friends. How come I haven't heard the news?"
The visitor replied: "Because the Red Dragon King is dead, I heard that he was boiled into dragon soup."
"Hiss!"
General Ape gasped in fear. Just as he was about to speak, a voice came from behind.
"Why didn't I see you when I went to the blessed land?"
The demon soldiers on the city wall immediately knelt down and shouted to see the city lord.
"The Ape King is a noble man, how could he remember a mere junior."
The man bowed and said, "Junior Ye Xun, married to the seventh daughter of the Fox Fairy, Hu Chan, temporarily spread the news of the blessed land."
"So it's you, I've heard a little bit about it."
The Black Ape King grabbed a person and threw him outside the formation, immediately smashing him to pieces, saying, "This city lord invites the envoy to eat meat!"
"Thank you, Ape King!"
Ye Xun fell from the light, ignited the spiritual fire in one hand, and held a short knife in the other.
He cut the meat piece by piece, carefully removed the broken bones and blood, and then slowly roasted it on the spiritual fire.
"I have been in the blessed land for a long time, and I don't like raw food anymore. I prefer roasted food! The meat on this person's calf is the most delicious. Just turn it over and over three times, and it will melt in your mouth..."
General Ape looked at the elegant envoy of the blessed land under the city wall, and suddenly felt ashamed.
The food he ate on weekdays was a bit too rough and barbaric, so he made up his mind that he would go to the blessed land to learn when he had time in the future.
"Hahaha, such taste, worthy of being the envoy of the blessed land!"
The Black Ape King laughed and said, "Please come in quickly and tell this city lord how the red dragon guy was broken into the city."
The formation restriction was opened, Ye Xun wiped his mouth slowly, and his figure flashed and landed on the city wall.
Before the Black Ape King could continue to speak, the detection formation issued a series of warning screams, indicating that there were creatures from the outside world sneaking into the city!
Ye Xun made a prompt decision and waved his sleeves, and two figures flew out of it, and his figure flashed and turned into Du Si and Wang Kan.
Wang Kan's eyes were fierce, his beard and hair stood up, and he was already furious. He waved his hand and used dozens of Confucian and Taoist magic.
Wang Kan had lived in Dagan for 180 years and taught people. He had never seen such a terrifying scene, and almost lost his mind and went astray. Just now, if Du Si hadn't been there to comfort him, Wang Kan would have rushed out to fight the monsters.
"Mr. Wang, please show mercy!"
Du Si whispered, "Don't break up the ape monster meat. I'm going to make a pot of soup later and invite the people of the monster city to taste it!"
He spoke softly, and his moves were several times more fierce than Wang Kan's, and he bombarded the Black Ape King with spells one after another.
He was unintentional and angry, and the Black Ape King was submerged in hundreds of spells before he could show his true self.
Outside the city.
A rumbling sound sounded, and the head of the ape general flew up. When his soul was scattered, he saw endless cavalry rushing towards the monster city.
