Chapter 423 The Mystery of the Disappearance of Population

Three days later, the war broke out.

The army of Beizezhou marched into Dayu and attacked Nanlai City, a border city of Dayu.

The army pushed forward all the way, unstoppable.

The villages and towns of Dayu along the way suffered because they had no city walls to protect them.

In order to replenish logistics and weaken Dayu, the Shangyun army burned, killed and looted these villages and towns.

Countless people were displaced.

War has always been so cruel.

The same thing happened in three places in Dayu at the same time, with Shangyun, Dachu and Xuanqin all launching attacks.

The Dayu Dynasty was already in a mess because of Yuchi Songxu. Now that Yuchi Songxu was dead, no one could stand up to repel the enemy.

When the war broke out, the people suffered the most.

But there was something strange about this war.

It stands to reason that when the war broke out and the war was raging, the people could not farm well and would wander around.

Often, villagers from several counties would gather together and head towards places where they heard they had food to eat and where the government was in charge.

Hoping to survive.

But this time, although the war affected a wide range of people, many people were affected, and countless villages, towns, and counties were destroyed, there was no large-scale refugee population.

The army had just swept through this village, destroyed it, destroyed fields and robbed food, and the people had to wander around, but after a few days, the people in this village could not be found anywhere.

No one knew where they wandered to, and there was no trace at all.

Every general who led troops to fight was puzzled, but they only thought that these refugees ran too fast.

They hid directly in places where they could not find them, and they might have become bandits.

No one paid much attention.

Unaware that there was a figure, every day following the army from a distance, going to those destroyed county farms, and making the people who had suffered from the disaster disappear.

In half a month, Ning Wuxie had gathered tens of thousands of people in the small world Tianyuanzhou!

There were so many refugees that Ning Wuxie couldn't help but see them.

He tried to send them to a place a little further away from Tianming City to ensure their living space and avoid friction.

For Dongli Town and Chilong Town, which had no city walls and were weaker, Ning Wuxie asked Tianming Sect to send people to protect them and to follow the refugees.

It was both protection and guarding.

These people were refugees with nothing, and because of their large number, Tianming City could not provide much assistance, so they could only rely on themselves.

These people had lost their relatives and homes in war and military disasters, and their hearts were full of anger, and there was a seed of violence in them.

Relying on their large numbers, they might really do evil things like robbery.

There was no way. As the emperor of Tianyuanzhou, Ning Wuxie could only show his spirit a few more times.

On the first day, Ning Wuxie took them to the plain where the river at the foot of the mountain washed out, and used the Xuanhu Sword to cut down a thousand acres of forest with one sword. The refugees in Dayu didn't even need to cut down trees.

On the second day, he smashed a huge rock several feet high on another plain with one punch, making room for the people there to build.

On the third day, because a group of people did not want to live too far away from other villages, but there was no suitable place, Ning Wuxie flew in the air, cut a sword from the mountain, and a river rushed out.

He kept busy like this, and all the refugees in Dayu saw his divine power.

Now there was no need for Chongjue to preach hard, and all the new people worshiped him and regarded him as a god.

The people in Chilong Town and Dongli Town were all unbelievable.

For these ordinary people, a cultivator in the realm of heavenly immortals is an existence that is difficult to see in a lifetime.

One day, when he looked up and saw a figure flying over the village, he would happily talk about the news with the villagers for most of the day.

The strength shown by Ning Wuxie shocked all of them, and while strengthening their faith in the emperor, it also helped them settle down and survive here.

The longer the war lasted, the more people there were in Tianyuanzhou.

In this way, lurking in the wilderness every day to follow the large army and collect refugees, Ning Wuxie spent a lot of time.

He could hardly practice, only the double cultivation with Xuan'er every night.

However, judging from the speed of the Three Kingdoms' coalition forces, this war would not have lasted long.

The Dayu Dynasty was defeated step by step, and the Three Kingdoms' army was unstoppable, penetrating into the heart of Dayu and would soon approach the imperial city.

The battle reached the most intense stage. The Dayu Dynasty knew that even if it surrendered, it would not end well. It fought desperately at the last pass, captured able-bodied men, and used civilians as cannon fodder, using every possible means!

The most prosperous state in Dayu became like hell in a few months, with broken walls and ruins and battlefields full of corpses.

Almost no civilians could live a stable life.

Ning Wuxie's shadow still secretly appeared around the battlefield, following the civilians and deserters who were avoiding the war...

With Ning Wuxie's cultivation in the heavenly fairyland, even if there were cultivators on the battlefield and in the army, they would not be able to detect his existence.

Another three months passed.

Yong'an City, the imperial capital of Dayu, was completely breached, and the 13-year-old Emperor Sun Changyuan was killed, and the royal family of Sun, which had been passed down for tens of thousands of years, was destroyed.

The Dayu Dynasty was completely reduced to dust and disappeared in history.

The armies of the three countries were stationed in Yong'an City for negotiations, and just as the rumors in the streets said, the figure of the Mo Jiao tribe also appeared at the negotiation table.

After some negotiations, the four countries jointly divided the territory of Dayu.

From then on, even the map could not find any trace of Dayu.

If Dayu's geographical location was not so unlucky, it was located in the middle of the five dynasties and bordered various countries, then it would definitely not perish.

The dynasty that could not get land would not allow other dynasties to destroy it and then annex its land.

But unfortunately, Dayu was so unlucky.

That's why the Sun family was destroyed so recklessly.

This war lasted for more than half a year, and there was almost no suspense. From beginning to end, Confucianism did not play any role.

It was like watching the potted plants that I had cared for for many years being lifted up and smashed to pieces.

Not only Dayu was smashed, but also the Confucian creed and ideals.

When the war ended, the countries took over the territories they had been allocated and prepared to start governing, and they all found a problem at the same time.

Where are the people? !

Where are the people in these territories? !

Why didn't these refugees show up after the war ended!

They sent cultivators to the mountains to look for them, but there was nothing.

On the vast land, it seemed that there was only soil soaked in blood.

Where are the people? ! The rulers of the country all know that the most valuable thing on the territory is the population, and the population is the source of wealth. Food, taxes, and all kinds of products all rely on the people to produce!

How come only the land is obtained now, and most of the population has not disappeared? !

The monarchs of the four countries even suspected that there were generals in the army who were secretly slaughtering the city!

But in the end, after an investigation, it was found that such a thing had never happened.

Everyone was stunned, the Confucians were stunned, and the whole world was stunned.

After a war, 60% of the population of Dayu State disappeared. This is not a question of inhumanity, this is simply impossible!

Even if hundreds of thousands of pigs were killed, people would be exhausted to death!

However, this is the fact, everyone was shocked, and for several years afterwards, people in Lingwu Continent were talking about this strange thing.
