In the blink of an eye, it was the end of December.

The new year is coming.

Li Yi's power of faith also exceeded 600,000 again.

Every three days, Li Yi would go to the territory of Dashang once to use a long healing technique on those top cavalrymen.

Those cavalry not only have to gallop around the territory of the Great Shang to attack the city, but also have to deal with the enemies of the Great Shang that may appear at any time in the territory of the Great Shang, and must maintain sufficient mobility and physical strength, otherwise, the three hundred divine horse cavalry will also be worn to death by the military strength of the Great Shang little by little.

Even so, twenty-seven of the three hundred Divine Horse soldiers have fallen.

Li Yi selected twenty-seven more people from among the people below and re-added three hundred horsemen.

Three hundred top characters, three hundred divine horses, each of which uses a long-term healing technique, needs to spend a hundred points of faith power, and once every three days, it is 60,000 points of faith power, which is a lot of consumption.

This is not counting Li Yi's many treatments for injured centaurs.

Without these consumptions, in a month, Li Yi could gain more than 800,000 more faith powers.

If it weren't for a large-scale siege of the city, allowing a large number of new people to believe in him, and allowing Li Yi to gain a lot of faith power, so much faith power would be a pure loss, which shows how terrifying the consumption of fighting a war is.

At this time, in the territory of Dashang, Daqian conquered more than 200 cities that had not been recovered.

In each city, Li Yi upgraded about 100 intermediate subordinates, about 200 junior subordinates, plus a small number of senior subordinates, to maintain the people of each city to worship his statue every day.

The force of these men was enough to govern the tens of thousands of people in each city.

But against the army of big merchants, it is not enough.

Therefore, many cities are recovered by the great merchants every day.

The main thing is also Li Yi's strategy, not to let the subordinates in those cities confront the enemy, once they find that the enemy is strong, immediately hide their identities on the spot, turn from light to dark, secretly develop believers, and also prepare for his future cadres and soldiers to attack again.

Even so, the number of cities that have not been recovered captured by the Great Cadres is still increasing every day.

The strength of the three hundred top cavalry is too strong, coupled with strong mobility, more than fifteen cities are captured every day, which is still the reason why Dashang sent a large number of powerful troops to surround and suppress them, so that they are not good at how to divide their troops, plus Dashang has ordered the state soldiers to be stationed in the city, and has placed explosives on many city walls.

Otherwise, their siege speed is many times faster.

Look at the beginning, when the big merchants were defenseless, the big cadres only sent thirty horses, and they could connect ten cities in one day and one night, what a big difference.

However, with the spread of the war, the military forces in the territory of the Great Shang were more and more involved, and their actions were far inferior to the three hundred top cavalry of the Great Merchants, and gradually, the military forces in the territory of the Great Shang became more and more unable to recover the city.

The further back you go, the faster the number of unrecovered cities captured by the Great Qian, the faster it increases.

December 30.

The power of faith that Li Yi gained on this day has reached more than 87,000 points.

Qiancheng and Xuncheng are still firmly guarded.

The situation in Dashang is showing signs of gradual collapse.

Every day, the leaders of the expeditionary armies besieging Qiancheng and Xuncheng in Baiyue will receive a holy decree from the capital of Dashang urging them to suppress bandits, which makes the generals on both sides also very stressed.

Last time, the two generals of the Western Expedition of the Great Shang were still there, and the situation in the territory of the Great Shang, they also faintly heard that if this attack failed, their fate would probably not be much better than the two leaders of the Western Expedition Army in the previous time.

On the court of the Great Shang.

"Besiege but not attack! Besiege but not attack! It's a siege all day long! There are only two million thieves, at least eighty percent of them are old and weak women and children, a city that has just been built for a few months, plus a city that has not yet been built, surrounded by 300,000 elite soldiers, why can't it be? Ha ha! My soldiers are all like this? ”

Emperor Hongwu had already broken many porcelain, and laughed.

In fact, it is normal for a big war to last a year and a half.

What's more, the war of Baiyue has only started for a month.

The main reason is that the situation in the territory of Dashang is getting more and more serious, and at least fifteen or more cities are received every day to be attacked, which makes Emperor Hongwu's nerves collapse more and more tight.

"Your Majesty, the only way to do this is to focus on the Battle of Baiyue, the Battle of Baiyue cannot be defeated, as long as the war of Baiyue is won, the lost cities in the territory can be easily recovered, listen to General Wei Yuan's report, besiege but not attack, it is indeed a safe strategy."

A minister arched his hand.

"Your Majesty, as the saying goes, people and land, people and land, people and land, people and land, some cities in the territory are breached, it is nothing, depending on the actions of the thieves, it will not hurt the people in those cities, so we don't have to rush to recover those cities, but should concentrate as many forces as possible to encircle and suppress the enemy."

"Your Majesty, you may be able to drive other forces ......"

Some ministers said one after another.

The first day of the first month.

A message was sent from Dashang.

The Baiyue forces within 3,000 miles of Qiancheng and Xuncheng must supply grain and grass to the great merchant armies of Qiancheng and Xuncheng, and the great merchants can buy them at three times the market price of the Baiyue.

The 300,000 elite soldiers of the Great Shang have surrounded the thieves of Qiancheng and Xuncheng, and they will soon be able to break through the city and exterminate the thieves among them.

Even if you don't kill a thief, every ordinary soldier sent will give ten taels of silver, and the elite soldier will give thirty taels of silver, and the enemy will be counted separately.

Because of the sending of the Flying Eagle to summon the message, this order spread extremely quickly.

In just two or three days, it was spread in Baiyue.

One by one, the Baiyue forces were shocked and angry.

Some time ago, Dashang just cheated them, and now they are persecuting them so strongly?

Is it really easy for Baiyue's forces to bully?

Dashang has been established for a hundred years, and it has only agreed with the major forces of Baiyue in wartime and non-wartime, and has not been able to conquer Baiyue.

However, it has to be said that the method of radish and stick is easier to use in many cases.

Some Baiyue forces were moved.

Some time ago, what big businessmen did was indeed quite pitiful, but the reputation of big businessmen was still okay.

Buying grain and grass at three times the market price, this is a great profit, no worse than exchanging divine horses and legendary heavenly and earthly treasures with Daqian some time ago.

The sooner you do it, the sooner you take advantage.

Because, the materials on the market are also limited.

What's more, those who don't obey will still be conscripted by the army of big merchants?

300,000 elite soldiers of Dashang...... Many Baiyue forces dare not imagine what a powerful force this is!

Surrounded by such a powerful force, is there really a way to live?

At this time, if they participate in this war, will they still be able to make a fortune in vain?

"Is this a dog jumping off a wall?"

After receiving this news, Li Yi shook his head slightly.

It has to be said that the big merchants have many advantages, and the big merchants have a great advantage in this kind of means of threatening the surrounding forces to deal with the enemy.

In other words, if they threaten the surrounding forces to deal with the big businessmen, they will definitely not have this effect.

Dashang has been established for a hundred years, and its strength has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

However, it just doesn't have such a big effect, Daqian can also contact the major forces of Baiyue to deal with Dashang together, as long as the situation in Dashang is told to the major forces of Baiyue, plus some interest temptations, I believe that there will be some Baiyue big forces tempted.

The land is large and the population is large.

If the big merchants can be defeated, many Baiyue forces can also gain great benefits.

The fifteenth day of the first month.

One by one, the Baiyue forces began to rush to Qiancheng, so that the supplies of the big merchant army were replenished a lot, and a lot of grain and grass were still being sent.

"It's already 1,330,000 ...... of faith"

In the main hall, Li Yi said silently in his heart.

During this time, I spent a lot of money, earned more, and before I knew it, I had saved so much faith power.

The reason why so much faith is not spent is a matter of security.

What is the highest level of force in this world?

Originally, Li Yi thought it was top-notch.

However, it is now found that above the top, there are also ranks.

At this level, if you are an ordinary martial artist, it is likely that you will need one million points of faith power to upgrade.

How strong is a master of this level?

Also unknown!

Subconsciously, Li Yi wanted to save up a million faith power, and if he didn't spend it easily, it was best to upgrade to a character of this level first!

Li Yi has been dragging his feet.

He didn't want the war to escalate too quickly.

The longer it drags on, the better.

Otherwise, he could have sent a large number of golden eagle teams to blow up the palace of the Great Shang, and in case the emperor of the Great Shang was killed, the war would soon be over.

However, it is an ideal state.

What if there are more powerful masters in Dashang, and the masters of this level are very powerful?

The golden finger he has is very rebellious!

This also means that there is a very powerful existence in this world!

Fairy ...... The kind of force in the world of high martial arts is not impossible to exist!

Even, most likely!

It's just that it's probably not in this side of the world!

But it is also likely that there is no weak force in this world!

If Dashang has a more powerful master, then the Dashang Palace is likely to be the location of this kind of master!

Therefore, Li Yi's first goal is actually to drag out time.

The second goal is to destroy the big businessmen.

When his strength is stronger, and then destroy the big merchants, everything will be more secure, isn't it?

The seventeenth day of the first month.

Li Yi's power of faith exceeds 1.5 million points!

"That's it!"

In the main hall, Li Yi stood up and let Li Ling at the entrance of the main hall enter the main hall.

After talking to Li Ling, Li Yi stared at the guard level on Li Ling's attribute board and silently upgraded it.

The next moment, Li Ling's body was full of gold.

Of course, this kind of golden mang, only Li Yi can see it, and others can't see it.

Name: Li Ling.

Age: Twenty-three years old.

Profession: Guard, Soldier.

Rank: Junior Innate Guard, Top General.
