Chapter 1239: Moyun City
With a large number of mixed teams of the three clans joining the sweeping team, soon the enemies in the mansion where Xia Fan landed were swept away.
"I told my lord that I had just tortured the captives, and he said that it was the general of the defenders of the city who lived here, but he was struck to death by the strength of the lord's fall, and many of the officers of the garrison died with him. Soon a demon officer came over, and first saluted before reporting.
"Haha, good luck. Xia Fan laughed, waved his hand and said, "So you can go and get busy with your business, and take down this city before dark." ”
"Yes. The demon officer agreed, turned and left.
"You won't be guarding me here anymore, go and get busy with you. Xia Fan glanced at Xia Xuedao, who was eager to try next to him.
Xia Xue was overjoyed, saluted Xia Fan and left in a hurry.
Xia Fan smiled, and then walked towards the house next to him.
Except for the tallest house that was destroyed by the violent impact of Xia Fan's fall, the buildings in other places were not completely destroyed.
Xia Fan wandered around aimlessly, as if he were a tourist, not only stopping occasionally to look at the carved ornaments on the beams of the house, but also looking at the furnishings of the house from time to time.
At this time, Xia Fan was standing from the perspective of a conqueror, admiring everything in front of him.
Although it was only a cursory look, Xia Fan also saw some things that were different from the Han Dynasty.
Most of the buildings of the Han Dynasty are very gorgeous, not to mention those palace buildings, they are ordinary people's houses, as long as they are not poor enough to live in grass sheds, then they will strive to be exquisite when building houses. I don't have the money to carve beams and paint buildings, but there are always some carvings on the window lattices.
But the architecture of the Great Sun Demon Kingdom is different, relatively speaking, it is simpler, even the patterns are not very complicated, but it has its own simple beauty.
In addition, whether it is the architecture of the Great Sun Demon Country, or the various utensils in the house, Xia Fan can always see the shadow of the Demon Realm.
It feels like the Great Sun Demon Kingdom was copying the Demon World in an all-round way at first, and then began to add its own things after copying, so it is somewhat similar to the things in the Demon World but not exactly the same.
Based on these alone, it was not difficult for Xia Fan to guess that the Great Sun Demon Kingdom must have had a very close connection with the Demon Realm, but later it gradually severed the connection, otherwise it would be impossible for the Demon Realm to gradually disappear.
In a very ornately furnished room, Xia Fan saw a large pool of blood that had not yet fully coagulated, and at the same time saw a huge hole in the wall.
There was no need to ask, he also knew that there must have been a battle here, and the result must have been that the people who held this place were exterminated, and even their bodies had been taken away by the corpse collection team.
After Xia Fan returned from the Netherworld, he sent an order to the corpse collection team to pay attention to collecting corpses so that they could use them whenever needed.
Walking around, Xia Fan was quite interested at first, but when he walked for a while and couldn't even see a living person, he gradually felt interested.
When the sun was sinking in the west, the fighting in the city gradually subsided, and Fu Cha came to report that all the enemies in the city had been wiped out.
Xia Fan knew what he meant, which basically meant that there were hardly any living people left in the city. But he didn't blame his men.
After all, this is war.
If a certain city of the Han Dynasty was occupied by the Great Sun Demon Kingdom, it would probably be the same result.
"Rest here tonight for the night, and be vigilant against enemy attacks. Xia Fan commanded.
"Yes. Fu Cha agreed.
When Fu Cha passed Xia Fan's order, it immediately attracted the cheers of the soldiers of the three clans, and there were voices shouting long live the Lord everywhere.
I don't know if Xia Fan's attack this time was too sudden, so that the Great Sun Demon Kingdom didn't react at all, or because of something else, there was no enemy attack at night.
Except for the occasional loud howl of a drunk demon clan, the night was quite peaceful.
However, in the morning, Xia Fan saw that many demon soldiers were being whipped, and the reason was naturally that he drank too much wine yesterday and was too profligate, so he would inevitably be punished now.
It was not the demon clan that carried out the execution, but the demon clan, so the whip was drawn quickly and hard, it must have hurt terribly, but it would not hurt the muscles and bones, let alone kill it.
The demon soldiers who shouted quite unrestrained yesterday are now silent when they are whipped, and they are quite hard.
This made the demon kings feel both embarrassed and very face-saving, and their mood was quite conflicted.
Xia Fan didn't interfere in this matter, let alone forgive these demon soldiers with a big wave of his hand. After all, if you violate military rules, you should be punished. It's easy for him to forgive these guys, but it hurts the seriousness of military regulations, which is not good.
After the demon soldiers who had made mistakes had been punished, Xia Fan ordered the alliance of the three clans to enter the Sky Swallowing Pocket, and then flew forward.
........................
South.
When Sun Daolin was killed, the news of Sun Haoran's uncertain life and death came, and the Sun family was like a powder keg that had been ignited, completely exploding.
Subsequently, the Sun family, who had already secretly made sufficient preparations, directly raised the banner to rebel, but the banner was on the side of the Qing monarch, and he was in the court, putting on a posture of courage and loyalty.
Because the Sun family has been operating in the local area for many years, and the connections above the officialdom are even more intertwined, I don't know how many people have been co-opted by the Sun family in private, so that when the Sun family rebelled, they did not receive any resistance.
Even many local big families did not stand up against the Sun family, as if they had silently accepted the fact that they were about to be ruled by the Sun family.
In this case, Sun Haoran's eldest son, Sun Daolin's father Sun Geng, became more and more ambitious, and while promising to win over powerful families from all over the country with benefits, he waved his army north and made a posture of attacking the capital.
But in fact, Sun Geng was constantly devouring the surrounding territory, and even secretly sent his henchmen to the Great Sun Demon Kingdom to secretly discuss the invasion of the southern part of the Great Han Dynasty.
At the same time, Lu Chuan, who came to exterminate the Sun family on the orders of Xia Fan, also led the army to the south.
"It's really death!" When Lu Chuan heard the news of the Sun family's rebellion, he couldn't help but sneer. Originally, he was worried that the Sun family would not rebel, and he directly attacked some divisions in the past, but now he doesn't have to worry at all.
Although Lu Chuan was confident that he could exterminate the Sun family, he did not dare to be careless.
Although he was not born in the Han Dynasty, he knew something about the Sun family and the situation in the south, so he knew very well that the south was too far away from the capital, so the local heroes and families were very powerful, and there were many marriages between them, forming a force that should not be underestimated.
A large part of the reason why the Sun family's rebellion went so smoothly was related to the fact that the local heroes and families stood by and watched, and even enjoyed seeing it happen.
This also means that the elimination of the Sun family is only a symptom rather than a cure, and if you really want to solve the trouble, you have to uproot all the Haoqiang and the family related to the Sun family.
Lu Chuan believed that Xia Fan ordered him to come to the south with such a purpose.
It's just that this kind of thing is easy to say, but it is difficult to do, because it means that Lu Chuan has to rely on himself and his soldiers and horses to fight against almost the entire south.
The difficulty can be imagined. If it weren't for Lu Chuan getting Xia Fan's promise that King Hou Pingnan and King Jingnan would send troops to help him at the right time, Lu Chuan would definitely not dare to agree rashly.
However, since he accepted the order, Lu Chuan now has no idea of looking ahead, and since he entered the south, he has begun to clean up the powerful and powerful families in various places.
Especially those who are secretly connected with the Sun family, they did not hesitate to directly raid the family and exterminate the clan after catching their mistakes.
As a result, Lu Chuan's notoriety spread in the south.
........................
When Xia Fan fell again, he was already in Moyun City, more than 30,000 miles away.
This city is extremely high, half of the year is shrouded in clouds and mist, the clouds and mist are hazy, very magnificent, and the aura of heaven and earth here is rich, so it has gathered many young disciples of the sect to experience here, and gradually became a city with the most demon cultivation in the Great Sun Demon Kingdom.
In addition, because of its location on a major transportation route, Demon Cloud City has become an important storage and supply point for grain, grass, ordnance and other materials closest to the border.
The reason why Xia Fan appeared here was not only to meet the demon cultivators here for a while, but also to destroy this important material storage place.
As a result, the million Great Sun Demon Army that was confronting the border army of the Han Dynasty on the border would face the dilemma of a shortage of food and grass.
This time, Xia Fan did not directly descend from the sky into the city like the last time, but disguised himself as a demon cultivator, wanting to sneak into the city first to touch the truth before making a move.
Before entering the city, Xia Fan noticed that many demon cultivators were gathering from all directions, as if they were going to attend some important party.
Xia Fan eavesdropped on it for a while, and couldn't help but secretly scream badly.
It turned out that the City Lord's Mansion posted an announcement today, which said that the Great Sun Demon Kingdom had recently declared war on the Great Han Dynasty, which was not only a dispute between the national fortunes of the two countries, but also a dispute between cultivators and demon cultivators.
For this reason, Ji Lugao, the city lord of Moyun City, launched a call to the demon cultivators from all over the world, inviting the demon cultivators to actively participate in this war and kill the cultivators enthusiastically, and Moyun City will also give corresponding rewards according to the merits of the demon cultivators who participated in the battle.
Because Xia Fan didn't see the announcement with his own eyes, he didn't know what the so-called reward was.
However, from the enthusiastic discussions of those demon cultivators, it is not difficult to hear that as long as the demon cultivators kill the cultivators above the God Transformation Realm, they can take the corpse to receive rewards, from spiritual jade, elixir, to magic weapons, exercises, and really have anything.
It can be seen that this time, Moyun City is not only going to bleed heavily, but also has a very resolute will to fight against the Han Dynasty.
What makes Xia Fan feel bad is what is hidden behind this incident.
It seemed that this was just a call from the city lord of Moyun City, but it faintly provoked a fight between cultivators and demon cultivators.
Whether it is a cultivator or a demon cultivator, the battle for the Dao system has always been very fierce, this is like a battle between good and evil, as long as it is difficult to end it at the beginning.
Although Xia Fan felt that what kind of exercises he practiced had nothing to do with whether it was a righteous path or an evil path, others would not think so.
Even if there is a sober person who is fanatical about this kind of thing, then he can only go with the flow in order to protect himself. Because everyone is drunk and I am sober, it is often the result that sober people will become different, and if they don't do well, they will be treated as enemies.
In fact, the struggle for Taoism is far more dangerous and cruel than the struggle between countries.
