Chapter 107: The Secret Covenant (3)
In the blink of an eye, it was winter, but the climate in the south was quite mild, and the wind was only slightly chilly, and civilians could tolerate it in thin shirts, let alone have cultivated soldiers in their bodies.
A large group of men and horses looked tired, and walked quickly on the fields crisscrossed by the water.
Their ragged clothes, the exhaustion and exhaustion caused by the long hours of fierce battles and fleeing have made most of the generals haggard, and even directly affected their cultivation, and it seems that a large group of beggars are dragging heavy steps, fleeing south in a hurry among the bone-ridden lakes and wilderness.
Who would have imagined that this was the Xuanyuan Heavenly Army, which was known as the first strong army in Haidong before?
Yongjing is less than 100,000 li away from Yunling in a straight line, and if it is according to the heyday of the Xuanyuan Heavenly Army, thirty days is enough to complete this journey.
However, when breaking through, the Xuanyuan Heavenly Army lost all the floating warships, and the high-level spirit cavalry lost too much, and they had to avoid the heavy interception of the demon soldiers, so they made a detour along the way, and it was not until three months later that everyone saw the towering mountain ridge of Yunling, which was covered with ice and snow all year round.
When the siege was fought from Yongjing City, there were still more than 100,000 soldiers and horses, although they avoided a decisive battle with the main force of the demon soldiers along the way, and there were no large-scale battles, but one after another, some of the generals were seriously injured and died, and some of the generals deserted from the team, plus some of the generals who were too low to keep up with the speed of the southward retreat of the soldiers and horses and the wounded soldiers were abandoned, and in the end there were less than 80,000 people left to the foot of Yunling.
In the center of the brigade, there are dozens of cars driving slowly forward - who can imagine that these chariots used to be heavenly or Dao level magic weapons, how can they also be dragged through the air by dragons, Qingluan-level spirit beasts, and spirit birds, in order to reflect the majesty of the royal family, most of these chariots are dilapidated today, and only two or three hundred black beasts are dragged together, barely keeping up with the speed of the brigade of soldiers and horses.
And the Xuanyuan Heavenly Army's once invincible iron spirit horseman, as the Taishang Tianzun's guard and personal soldiers, the generals had 100,000 soldiers and horses at the peak, and at this time, there were less than 10,000 remnants of the cavalry surrounded by dozens of vehicles to drive south, and among the 10,000 remnant horses, there were only 3,000 spirit horses left such as the black and red horses, and the others could only use the low-level spirit horses of the black cunning horses instead of foot power.
However, even if there are only 10,000 people left in the Iron Spirit, no one can be allowed to take a peep.
After all, among the 10,000 remnant horses, there are 4,000 people who have cultivation above the Enlightenment Realm, and the other generals almost all have the late stage and peak cultivation of the Spirit Clearing Realm.
In addition, the other 50,000 horses who fled south were organized into left and right guards on the way, and the most ordinary generals also had cultivation above the Spirit Clearing Realm, and there were also four or five thousand elite generals above the Ming Realm.
It is almost the last elite children of the Yongjing Sect Lord, who are concentrated here.
During the march, a chariot shrouded in cyan fog was wiped open by a pair of thin hands at this time, revealing a thin old face that could not be concealed, and the pupils scanned the embarrassed generals left and right, and felt somewhat relieved, bringing this group of people to Anze City, meeting with the soldiers and horses on the South Road, Xuanyuan Shangdian and the Qin family, and some of the capital to make a comeback.
At this time, a middle-aged scribe leaned over on a green lion and asked intimately, "Your Majesty has any orders." β
Qin Shimin showed a half-emaciated face from the car, pointed to the towering mountain in the distance and said, "It's about to arrive at Anze City, there are a lot of demon soldiers blocking the road in front, Qin Ran has a proper arrangement?"
The scribe paused: "Your Highness did not say a specific strategy for using troops when you sent a message, but Your Highness will definitely come up with a foolproof plan to take Your Majesty into the city - please rest assured." β
Qin Shimin nodded expressionlessly on his face, and snorted: "If Qin Ran really wants to make me feel relieved, when he is trapped in Yongjing, he should send troops to help, and Yongjing may not fallβif it weren't for the mountains and rivers and you and Jia Nian and Wushuang using their lives this time, I'm afraid that I would have been refined into a Heavenly Demon Blood Pill by the Black Flame Old Demon a long time ago." β
Jiushanhe lowered his head and said: "Your Highness has the difficulties of Your Highness - in that situation, there are so many generals in the Southern Route Army, and not all of them can be commanded by Your Highness, Your Majesty still don't have to work hard at this time." When he enters Anze City, the emperor will take care of his body, and he will take us to recover the territory of Chongguo and reorganize the glory of the Xuanyuan Temple. β
Rebuild the glory of the Xuanyuan Temple?
Qin Shimin sighed heavily in his heart, thinking to himself how easy it was to say this!
As he spoke, Jiushanhe's expression perked up, and he said with a smile: "Emperor, there are more than 10,000 spirit birds flying in front of you, and it must be His Highness's Crane Control Army that has come out of Anze City to meet us." β
Qin Shimin nodded with satisfaction, sat back in the car and didn't say anything.
As soon as Jiushanhe turned around, he smiled at Ji Jianian and Ji Wuhuan, who were seriously injured and sitting in the Fulong chariot behind him.
The remnants of Yongjing finally joined up with the elite crane control army sent by Anze City to respond, and tens of thousands of demon horsemen outflanked from the left and right roads, seeing that the crane control army was extremely victorious, they did not dare to forcibly rush up, and could only see the remnants of Yongjing entering the Terran defense line near Anze City at night.
At present, the 20 or 30 million children of the clan of the clan in Nanli have fled into the depths of the Yunling Mountains to establish fortresses and re-establish the sects, plus the four or five billion ordinary people who fled south to the Yunling Mountains, which has become the last remaining strength of Nanli, and the last remaining vitality of the human race in the south of the empire.
The Nanli Defense Army also collapsed for a time, and it was only after fleeing into the Yunling Mountains that it was reorganized into an army under the support and forcible suppression of the Tiannan Kingdom, but at present, it is also mainly defending the large and small passes in the depths of the Yunling Mountains.
At the northern foot of Yunling, one line of soldiers and horses is a million ironclad elites sent by Tiannanguo, stationed in Anyang City, 10,000 miles away to the west, guarding the north entrance of the Lixi Grand Canyon, and the other way of soldiers and horses is the South Route Army led by Qin Ran, the king of Lie, guarding the north entrance of Mingyue Gorge.
To the south from Mingyue Gorge is Meizhou, the largest basin in the depths of Yunling.
Chongguo only set up three counties in the depths of Yunling, of which Meizhou County had a population of hundreds of millions before the catastrophe, at this time, with a large number of refugees fleeing in, the population has exceeded 250 million, Anze City is the northern gateway of Meizhou County, as long as Anze City is guarded, Xuanyuan Shangdian has some opportunities to recuperate.
Seeing the majestic mountains on both sides of Anze City that are more than 10,000 zhang high, looking at the core of Anze City, in a radius of three or four hundred miles at the north entrance of Mingyue Gorge, there are nearly hundreds of large and small fortresses, and most of them are protected by defensive arrays, Jiushan River even perceives that in the deep ridge in the northeast of Anze City, a hanging lake of more than 10,000 acres is dammed and intercepted, once a large-scale demon army gathers in front of Anze City, the Hanging Lake Dam is blasted open, and look at the trend of the ridge valley, hundreds of millions of jun of lake water will be directly poured into the land hundreds of miles in front of Anze City......
Jiushanhe, Ji Wushuang, and Ji Jianian glanced at each other, thinking that there was no calculation, just to attack Anze City, which was so well guarded by the defense system, and I don't know how many demon soldiers and generals would have to die before they could finally capture Anze City, but now they have come to Anze City, and they are about to master part of the defense of Anze City, and with Zhu Wen's cooperation, the rout and retreat are just around the corner.
Most of the Yongjing soldiers and horses were left in the northern fortress for rest, and the iron elite cavalry, which had less than 10,000 horses, served as the guards and escorted everyone's chariots into Anze City.
However, before entering the inner city, the Iron Warrior was arranged to go to the camp in the eastern city to rest, and only more than 1,000 Red Armor guards were able to enter the inner city.
After all, it is absolutely safe to enter Anze City, no one can threaten the safety of the emperor anymore, the inner city is only two or three miles away, it is the core of the defense system in the middle of the entire Yunling, there are many large and small yamen, there is no place to garrison, more than a thousand red armor guards enter the inner city, and it only reflects the last majesty of Qin Shimin's reign in Yunling.
The chariot and horses slowly walked along the bluestone road of Anze City, but Qin Shimin in the chariot already had irrepressible anger churning in his heart.
They had already entered the inner city, and Qin Ran and the generals of the Southern Route Army had not even come out to greet them, and they were all standing on the square in front of the main hall waiting for them, and they still had the slightest look of putting him, the emperor, in their eyes?
And Ji Yuanfan, the generals and ministers of the Southern Route Army, what kind of thoughts did they have, and they didn't take him as an emperor in their eyes? Or was it forced by Qin Ran that Qin Ran didn't go out of the city to greet him, and it was inconvenient for them to go beyond it for the time being?
Jiushanhe, Ji Wushuang, Ji Jianian, and other true monarchs who entered the inner city with Qin Shimin, as well as more than 100 Yongjing generals and ministers who had Dao Fetal Realm cultivation, could all vaguely feel the murderous aura lurking in front of the main hall at this time.
In this regard, they didn't feel any surprise, and they didn't think of going anywhere else, they only regarded all this as the disadvantage of the Lie King Qin Ran to the emperor, and they didn't think that the Lie King Qin Ran would easily hand over the military and political power of the Southern Route Army.
They even thought about entering Anze City, so they suggested that the emperor canonize the Lie King Qin Ran as the prince, and lead the remaining elite soldiers and horses of Chongguo to control all the demons, so as to solve the contradictions and confrontations between their father and son, so as not to cause the last remnants of Yongjing's combat power to fall apart.
Only in this way will it be possible to bring the South Lebanese Defence Forces under its rule in the next step.
Of course, they didn't think that the Lie King Qin Ran would mess up, after all, the eight hundred demon soldiers and demon generals who were slowly heading south in the north were the biggest and deadliest threat to Anze City at present, and the Lie King was not a hairy boy, so he wouldn't mess around, but he didn't get the throne before, and he was unwilling to hand over power at this time, and everything had to be compromised between the emperor and the father and son of the Lie King.
Jiu Shanhe, Ji Jianian, and Ji Wushuang were secretly happy in their hearts, they knew that only the deeper and more intense the contradiction between Qin Shimin and Qin Ran, the more they could accomplish.
They even took Qin Ran too much into account of the overall situation, directly handed over the military power, and had a good relationship with Qin Shimin's father and son, but it was difficult for them to do anything.
***********************
All the generals below the Heavenly Rank Realm were left outside the hall to wait by King Lie in the name of crowding the main hall, and only welcomed the emperor Qin Shimin and Ji Wuhuan, Jiushanhe, Ji Jianian and other twelve heavenly true monarchs into the main hall and took their seats.
In the main hall, in addition to Zhu Wen, the general of the Southern Li Zhu Kingdom, and the two Heavenly True Monarchs of the Southern Li Zongvale, the other fifteen Heavenly True Monarchs, from Ji Yuanyan and below, are all generals of the Southern Route Army who have followed the martyr King Qin Ran in the southern expedition and the northern war over the years.
After Qin Shimin sat down in the central main case, he saw that the Martyr King Qin Ran and the generals sat down on both sides, coughed lightly, and just wanted to speak, but at this time, the Lie King Qin Ran, who had just taken his seat, stood up straight and said: "Father, Yongjing has fallen, my Dachong is in tatters, and it is urgent to solve the problem of the demon traitors who have mixed into my Dachong......
Before Qin Ran finished speaking, let alone Qin Shimin, Zhu Wen, Jiu Shanhe, Ji Wushuang, and Ji Jianian's faces changed, and they secretly pinched the magic trick, stared at Qin Ran, and asked: "Your Royal Highness the Lie King, what do you mean by this, are you still being bewitched by traitors at this time?"
The other Heavenly True Monarchs who entered the main hall with Qin Shimin and Zhu Wen did not expect that the Fierce King Qin Ran would directly attack the matter of demonic treachery, and someone immediately stood up and persuaded: "The Beiling rebel army is the remnants of Liuyang Palace, Ji Jiangye is in the same stream with them, and at this time, another puppet emperor will be established in the Northwest Regions, how can they be believed? Besides, if it were not for Lord Dove, Taiwei Ji and General Ji fighting desperately, I would not have had the opportunity to come to Yunling to meet His Highness, and please don't believe the rumors!"
"Your Highness too, there is no ironclad evidence, just say that the four of Zhu Jiuji are traitors, how can they convince His Highness and the public......" Before Qin Shimin could speak, a guard in armor guarding the door of the main hall actually gently covered the two heavy bronze doors of the main hall at this time, not only did not let the voice in the main hall come out, but also directly isolated the vision of many generals guarding outside the main hall.
Qin Shimin was furious, and shouted angrily: "Above the court, who dares to be so rude? Believe it or not, I will kill your nine clans today?"
"Your Majesty forced the minister's master to death, and at this time he wanted to punish the minister's nine clans, and the minister naturally believed it, but he also asked His Majesty to allow the minister to first take out the ironclad evidence of the four demons of Zhu Jiu Ji Ji, and then it was not too late to punish the minister's nine clans. Chen Hai laughed.
"Chen Hai!" Qin Shimin shouted in shock and anger, and there was no need for Qin Shimin to greet him, Zhu Wen, Jiushanhe, Ji Wuhuan, and Ji Jianian were going to make a move, and first kill Chen Hai directly on the spot and then talk about anything else, but at this moment, the entire council hall seemed to come to life in an instant, and hundreds of millions of golden rays burst out of the ground, and in an instant, five dragon-shaped phantoms were condensed towards Zhu Wen, Jiushanhe, Ji Wuhuan, Ji Jianian, and Qin Shimin.
"Okay, now that your wings have grown stiff, you actually know that you can use the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths Trapping Demon Array to deal with your father, could it be that if you are bewitched by thieves and usurp power today, the millions of soldiers and horses outside the main hall will support you as the new emperor?
Qin Shimin also knew at this time that all this was planned by the Lie King Qin Ran for a long time, just waiting for them to enter the trap, and the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths Trapped Demon Great Array was the strongest protective array that the Southern Route Army brought out of Yongjing, even if he cultivated to the fullest, he might not be able to break free from the shackles, let alone Ji Jianian and them.
Although the other Heavenly True Monarchs were not targeted and restricted from acting, they were also terrified at this moment, and they also thought that the Lie King Qin Ran was bewitched by Chen Hai to usurp the throne and stand on his own, and he did not act easily under the forced eyes of Ji Yuanchu and others, but they also stood up together to persuade the Lie King to think twice before acting......
"The minister still said the same thing, please Your Majesty allow the minister to first take out the ironclad evidence of the four demons of Zhu Jiu Ji Ji, and then punish the nine clans of the minister. Chen Hai repeated what he had just said, walked to the center of the hall and sat on the ground, took out the Dutian Demon Seal and the Dove True Yuan Fetus one by one, and said to those shocked and suspicious Heavenly True Monarchs, "Lord Jiuzhen, who died four thousand years ago, must be no stranger to all dukes, and the evil treasures of Yu An Old Demon are all Heavenly Demon Seals, and all dukes must have heard of them, this is the human and physical evidence that I want to show you and the emperor today to verify the authenticity of the human and physical evidence, if I have the slightest suspicion of slandering the four adults of Zhu Jiu Ji Ji, it will not be too late for the dukes to join forces to cut me into meat sauce... β¦β
Seeing this scene, Jiu Shanhe, Ji Wuhuan, Zhu Wen, and Ji Jianian looked like ashes, and they didn't expect that they would fall into the gang set up by Chen Hai and Qin Ran so easily and unconsciously, and they were trapped by the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths Trapped Demon Array, and it was impossible to struggle......
At this time, Fu Siyuan, who had not fully recovered from his injuries, walked out from behind the screen, and saluted to Qin Shimin, who was trapped, and said: "Shizun is still obsessed at this time, and he is bewitched by demons and treachery, so it is really not suitable to take care of political affairs in person, Siyuan has the courage to ask Shizun to pass on the throne of His Royal Highness the Liewang ......"
Qin Shimin had already come to the end of his life, his longevity was approaching, and his cultivation had already declined greatly, so he passed the throne to Emperor Jianxing more than forty years ago.
For the last majesty and popularity of the Qin royal family, Fu Siyuan will not break this point at this time and in the future, but after Qin Shimin abdicates and imprisons him, it is impossible for Qin Shimin to recover his cultivation, and his injuries cannot be healed, and he can only weaken day by day.
Everything in the rune book passed down by Ji Jiangye is true, so what else can other Heavenly True Monarchs say?
Thinking about it carefully, the reason why the demon tribulation is so fierce is that the emperor Qin Shimin was too eager to think of the relics of Liuyang Palace, and was bewitched by the devil to transfer too many elites from the Northeast Regions, so that the Gulan Mountain defense line collapsed first under Ji Wuhuan's internal and external cooperation, and then the emperor Qin Shimin forced Jiang Yin to death, and ordered Jiushan River to preside over the Tashan defense line, so that the five million elite defenders of Tashan were wiped out, and then the Great Yan Mountain collapsed. Yongjing fell, and the eight feudatories are currently only less than half of the remaining, when the great worship was in its heyday, there were nearly 30 billion mortals, and at this time there were less than 10 billion, the root of all this, how could the emperor Qin Shimin get out of it......
Fu Siyuan stood up at this time and directly asked Qin Shimin to abdicate, what can the princes who fled south say?
It's just that Chen Hai is the remnant of Liuyang Palace, and the important generals of the Liuyang Empire, Cang Yu and Zuo Er, are still alive, and they have become a climate in the Northwest Regions, and the strength of the army is even far above the remnants of Dachong's soldiers and horses, and the Lie King Qin Ran, Ji Yuanfan, and Fu Siyuan conspire with him, so they are not afraid that after surviving the demon catastrophe in the future, Liuyang Palace will settle the blood debt of the year?
In addition, Tiannan and Yue Kingdom are also empires built by rebelling against Liuyang Palace and splitting the human race in Haidong Continent, how could they send troops to cooperate with the remnants of Liuyang Palace to resist demons?
Chen Hai then said that the Beiling Army and the Seven Sect Generals would support the Lie King Qin Ran to ascend the throne together, in order to erase these rifts and contradictions, so as to facilitate the concentration of the last remaining strength of the Haidong Terran to resist the demons together, and the princes who fled south were all dumbfounded, shocked and suspicious, but looking at the attitude of the Lie King Qin Ran, Ji Yuanzhuan, Fu Siyuan and the generals of the Southern Route Army, they knew that they had obviously been persuaded by Chen Hai......
