Chapter 237: Attacking the Heart

The battle at the West City Gate has been decided, and the Zhou family's troops have all withdrawn to their camps, and the other three city gate locations have also withdrawn after hearing that the Zhou family has withdrawn their troops.

Again, we won by a big margin.

Huang, Chen, and Lu also suffered heavy casualties.

Yun Li and Yun Yi also saw the grand occasion of this battle, and Yun Li walked directly to me and said, "Prince Dichun, your Demon Qi Cannon has created the history of the Demon Abyss!" ”

I smiled and said, "It was the soldiers of the royal city who made history. ”

Yun Li then said some of his heartfelt words, and the hearts of the soldiers were also warm when they listened to it, but Yun Li not only said good things, but also said some words to remember the dead soldiers, which made the hearts of the living soldiers warmer.

It turned out that the dead fighters were not forgotten either.

It turned out that the royal family did not blindly indulge in the joy of victory, they also felt sadness because of the death of ordinary soldiers.

Yun Li even ordered a large amount of money to pay for the families of those soldiers.

After Yun Li said something, he took Mu Luo to inspect everywhere again, I took the little catfish to follow, and Zixian stayed here to guard the city.

The other city gates were the least injured, and the Huang, Chen, and Lu families all just wanted to sit back and enjoy their success, and were ready to follow the Zhou family to eat meat, but they didn't expect that they didn't drink the soup and were burned.

After returning from a round of inspection, Yun Li hugged Mu Luo and Yun Qi and went to rest.

Next, the soldiers of the Zhou family did not come to harass us again, and our side can also get real cultivation.

Half a month passed, the time was getting colder, and the sky was covered with snow, and I realized that the snow in the Demon Abyss was also white.

It was also the first snow since we arrived in the Abyss.

The white snow made the original black and gray building as the main tone of the magic abyss become incomparably white, but also incomparably pure, like a fairy tale world.

After the heavy snow fell, the camp on the Zhou family's side began to withdraw one after another, after all, their army was huge, and the daily consumption was also huge, and the distance from the Zhou family to the royal city was long, and the cost of transporting supplies was also huge.

This royal city could not be captured for a long time, and they could not afford it, so they could only choose to withdraw their troops.

After the Zhou family withdrew, Chai Rong took thousands of people to the camp over there to check, but it was empty, leaving only some broken equipment, and the huge Zhou family camp was empty.

At the same time as the Zhou family withdrew their troops, the Huang, Chen, and Lu families saw that the general trend had gone, and they also withdrew their troops one after another.

After the withdrawal of the Huang, Chen, and Lu families, the entire royal city also returned to calm, and under the calm was excitement and celebration.

Many of the refugees also began to return to the royal city one after another, and those who returned found that their homes in the royal city had not been damaged in any way, and they could not imagine that the royal city had not been breached in the face of the so-called three million army besieged.

And in total, the war lasted less than two months.

On the third day of the retreat of the rebels, I once again presided over the court meeting, and from today onwards, I also decided to change the court meeting from once a month to once a day.

Of course, I won't take care of the affairs of the court, but handed it over to Yun Li to take care of, as for Yun Yi, I gave her a position with no real power, let her leave the royal city, if she stays by Yun Li's side, sooner or later she will take power into her own hands.

Yun Li is taking care of Mu Luo and handling government affairs, so he will be a little more fortunate.

But there is no way to do it, I am not a member of the demon clan after all, I can defend the royal city for them, and I don't need to deal with those government affairs for them.

I'm not interested in those things, I still have to practice, practice desperately, because the North Heavenly Gate is still waiting for me.

I also want to seek revenge on the people of Nantianmen.

The Demon Abyss is not my home.

Yun Li didn't disappoint me, although she looked soft and weak, but when dealing with government affairs, she was both rigid and soft, and many things were handled just right, and I didn't have to worry about it at all.

As for Mu Luo, he is still young, and I can't teach him anything, so I can only check the absorption of his Heavenly Pill every day to see the situation of the demonic qi in his body.

This kid hasn't practiced yet, the dantian's qi sea has expanded several times, and each time he expands, Tiandan fills him with demonic qi, according to this trend, when Mu Luo starts to practice, he will definitely rise at the speed of light.

Maybe I'll teach a monster to the Demon Yuan.

I hope this monster can benefit humanity and the Demon Abyss.

In this court meeting, I announced that the court meeting would be changed to an early dynasty, and the Wang family and the Mo family also raised their hands in favor, this battle demonstrated the strength of the Wang army, and also made them convinced of me, the prince of Emperor Chun.

If there was no me and no Purple Immortal in this battle, the royal city would have fallen long ago.

Of course, I am indispensable to the reward of the Wang and Mo families, and the Tiandan I promised them was also refined by the family.

After a few early dynasties, I saw that Yun Li was able to stand alone, so I didn't go to the court again.

And I am practicing in the palace with Zixian.

Mu Yifei, Shen Yu, Zihai and Wu Tianhao practiced in a room full of emperor alder grass, and the presence of emperor alder grass can also make the aura in the room more sufficient.

A few days later, Yun Li told me that the two ministers of the Wang family and the Mo family in the court, as well as some holy demon generals, were thinking of crusading against the Huang, Chen, and Lu families, and asked me if the time had come.

I looked at Yun Li and said: "It's here, the war has just ended, our morale is high, we can send troops to fight after a simple rest, these days, we have stored a lot of demonic cannons, with those equipment, the Huang, Lu, and Chen families can't resist at all." ”

Yun Li said: "Prince Dichun, I want you to conquer in person, you are now the god of war of our Demon Abyss, if you do it yourself, you can also deter the three families, maybe you can make them surrender directly." ”

What Yun Li said also makes sense.

I nodded and agreed, Muluo is still young, so naturally I want to stay in the royal city, for the safety of this side, I will leave the little catfish beast here.

If you go on the expedition, Zixian will follow me.

It's just that I went to crusade against the Huang, Chen, and Lu families, and Zixian followed me, Mu Yifei and the others didn't follow anymore, they also had to practice with peace of mind, especially Wu Tianhao, his lifespan was only a few decades left, if he wanted to extend his life, he could only break through the cultivation of the Holy Demon in a few decades and become a Demon Venerable, or a Heavenly Venerable.

In this way, his lifespan will be expanded again.

The Huang, Chen, and Lu families were deeply entrenched in their respective territories, and it was easy to fight and it was a little difficult to unify them, so I didn't rush to fight, but took 100,000 people to the territory of the three families to demonstrate, and their troops did not dare to come out to meet the battle.

After turning around, I first started against the strongest Huang family, and after I laid down a city, I reformed a city, removed local officials, changed the local folk customs, and implemented a new policy of amnesty for the royal family.

The defenders were often killed in a matter of hours in the face of my thousands of demonic cannons, and we took the city with ease.

My slow approach ensures that every time we occupy a place, it will belong to the royal city and become a supply point for the next city I attack.

This will keep our march in a constant state of short supply.

At the same time, this also made the royal family's amnesty new policy more deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and some rebel cities that had not yet been exposed to the new policy were also restless, because the Huang, Lu, and Chen families, in order to raise soldiers, often had to collect heavy taxes, and they had previously deducted the basins of heavy taxes to the royal family.

It was said that the royal family made it levied, so those people hated the royal family.

But now that they have become rebels, and the new policy of the royal family is light on taxes, they obviously understand that they have been deceived, and they have been deceived by the Huang, Lu, and Chen families.

In those cities that were not captured by us, the people's hearts were also biased towards our side.

The people's hearts are towards us, which means that the relatives of those soldiers are biased towards our side, so many cities have taken the initiative to send us documents of surrender.

My slow marching speed at first was very puzzling to many ministers in the court, after all, a year has passed, and I have only captured a dozen cities, and not even a single Huang family has been destroyed.

But a year later, when a large number of surrender documents arrived, they immediately understood what I was good at.

If I use the power of thunder to destroy the Huang, Chen, and Lu families, I can also do it, but in that case, it will inevitably be ruined, and the basin of the royal family's heavy taxes will never be washed.

And in this way, not only did I not destroy the production on the three lands, but also incorporated a lot of troops!

The three families of Huang, Chen, and Lu, seeing that the cities under their command had surrendered one after another, also saw that the general trend had gone, and fled to the territory of the Zhou family with their families, and they fled there with some soldiers, saying that they had taken away 100,000, but when they arrived at the territory of the Zhou family, there were only a few thousand people left, and most of the soldiers did not want to escape, so they chose to flee halfway, and then returned to their land to surrender to the Wang army.

It took me almost a year and a half to take all the land owned by the Huang, Chen, and Lu families almost without bloodshed.

This trick is "attacking the heart first".

The defection of the Huang, Chen, and Lu families also marked the complete unification of the land to the east of the royal family, and the strength of the royal family was unprecedentedly improved.

When my class teacher returned to the court, Yun Li was posthumously named my saint and called me the hero of the Demon Venerable.

Saint is just an honorary name, not an official position, but it shows the royal family's respect for me.

And when I returned to the royal city, Muluo was almost two years old, and not only could he walk, but he could also speak clearly, and he could officially follow me to practice.

I'm going to take up my post as a teacher.

As for the Zhou family in the west, I am not going to fight for the time being, because the strength of the Zhou family is too strong, and there are two demon venerables, if we fight, neither of us can bargain, and those things will wait for the demon king to come back.

Next, my task is to concentrate on taking Muluo to practice and travel.
