Zhou Tianzi, who heard the news in Hojing, looked indifferent.

Before the Qin army broke through Futian Pass, Zhou Tianzi still couldn't sleep all night, afraid of any accidents, but now after the Qin army entered the Central Plains, he calmed down a lot.

At the time of the split of the Tiandu clan, the Great Zhou was still the most militarily powerful country among the six kingdoms at that time.

Otherwise, it wouldn't have been able to occupy such a good position.

And the State of Qin, which was undoubtedly one of the most marginal countries among the Six Kingdoms at that time, and if it weren't even for Qin Jun's own personal force at that time, it was estimated that he would not have been able to get a piece of the pie in that gluttonous feast.

But later, with the passage of time.

The Great Zhou, which has superior terrain and abundant products, is not as good as the next generation, and its national strength is declining day by day.

And those princes who were sealed in the barbarians and miasma, who could not eat and drink all the year round, and were miserable in the wind and sun, are constantly expanding outward, and now their strength is stronger than the other.

So much so that now, the richest and most powerful Great Zhou in the Six Kingdoms at the beginning would be breached by the Qin State in the land of drinking horses, causing nearly a million Qin troops to pour into the Central Plains.

Zhou Tianzi felt both annoyed and angry.

However, if the Qin army thought that it would be so easy to defeat the Great Zhou, it was purely a pipe dream, and the Great Zhou was able to occupy the richest land and survive for nearly 10,000 years, unharmed, naturally it was impossible to have no hole cards.

I only hope that Qin Jun will not go too far.

Otherwise, it is really necessary to tear his face and force the Qin army to fight against the Great Zhou in the pass, and it is unknown who will kill the deer in the end.

……

The Qin army went all the way south to burn, kill and loot.

The towns and villages it visited were filled with smoke and corpses.

War is a flesh-and-blood machine, shredding everything that gets caught up in it.

I don't know how many gold, silver, jewelry, cattle, sheep and horses, and even the population and stomach were abducted.

The Qin army transported the loot all the way back along the logistics line.

In less than half a month, the Qin army looted and did not know how many supplies.

The soldiers who came with the army were still excited when they first saw the treasure, but as the amount of treasure accumulated increased, and now they were sent away one by one, and the nerves that were originally excited couldn't help but feel a little numb.

I was stunned by the richness of the Central Plains of the Great Zhou.

For many years, the Qin army has been operating outside the fortress.

Under the deliberate propaganda of many elders and merchants, most of the Qin soldiers had heard of the richness of the Great Zhou since childhood.

Legend has it that the Central Plains is a place full of gold.

The climate there is very warm, and in the spring you only need to sprinkle the seeds into the soil, and after the summer rain, you can grow heavy food in the autumn, and in the winter, it is not like scraping bones and digging meat, and you can even go out to play and hunt.

It was also inspired by these remarks that there was not a single person in the Qin State who did not yearn for the Central Plains with a population of tens of millions.

It is also under this circumstance that countless predecessors of the Qin State have gone forward one after another in order to attack the Central Plains, reorganizing the army day after day and cultivating soldiers and horses.

As the reforms promoted by successive Qin monarchs became more and more perfect, the military power of the Qin state also continued to expand.

Eventually, the Qin army, a small and inconspicuous country among the Six Kingdoms, summoned up its courage and began to send troops to try to attack the legendary rich golden kingdom of Great Zhou.

But because of the two places in the northwest as a barrier, after thousands of years of military conflicts, the Qin army was willing but powerless to deal with the Great Zhou.

So much so that in recent years, Qin Jun has begun to doubt his life a little.

- Whether it was the Western Lands that they had come into contact with a long time ago, or the Northern Lands that they had only accepted in recent years, some places were even poorer than their Qin State.

The legendary Great Zhou is full of gold...... Does it really exist?

Now that they have finally bypassed the two places in the northwest, and after breaking through the shell of the Great Zhou and entering the Central Plains with lightning speed, countless Qin troops only feel that they are dreaming at this moment.

It turns out that there really is such a rich place in this world!

Immune to extreme weather, rice grows twice a year, and even three times in more favourable climates.

Densely populated on the fertile plains, the crops themselves will take root and sprout in suitable places with little irrigation or even too much fertilizer.

Along the way, Qin Jun saw too much.

And in this case, the Qin soldiers' desire for the land of the Great Zhou was also expanding.

Such a rich piece of land, if it can be occupied by the Qin State, then the Qin State not only has the strongest military strength in the world, but also has the richest crop planting area.

With the dual blessing of the land and grain and grass, I am afraid that it will not be long before the Qin State will be able to form an army that sweeps several other countries in the world.

It seems that it is not a problem to create miracles and become the only overlord among the six countries.

Of course, the premise of all this is that the Qin army must destroy the Great Zhou and occupy all the land of the Great Zhou.

One million Qin troops, it sounds like a very outrageous number.

But now, after all, it is on the land of the Great Zhou.

Although the defense line was broken, the people were in an uproar, and the whole country did not know how many families and scholars were panicking, but the strength of the Zhou Dynasty's counterattack was still quite strong.

When the Qin army broke through the Futian Pass and marched towards Haojing.

The Qinwang troops in various parts of the Great Zhou Dynasty soon amassed more than 500,000 troops, which were not as well-trained as the Qin army in terms of composition, but now it was not a head-on war.

All this Qinwang army needed to do was to delay the Qin army's attack, so that it would not really attack the capital city where Zhou Tianzi was located, and then quietly wait for the Qinwang army sent by other nobles from all over the country to converge.

It's more than enough to do that.

The Qin army and the Qin army tried to probe on the north bank of Jishui, the Qin army won a small victory, and the frustrated Qin Wang army did not like to fight, so they immediately retreated to the south bank of Jishui and began to implement the policy of clearing the wilderness with strong walls to prevent the Qin army from obtaining food in the Great Zhou Dynasty.

This trick is still very effective for the Qin army who came from afar.

After discovering that they could not loot more supplies, the Qin army began to attack the Qinwang army on the south bank of Jishui in a frenzied manner.

Under the attack of the millions of Qin troops, King Qin's army was defeated and retreated.

But this is the land of the Great Zhou, and although the Qin State has spying on the terrain, it is still not as familiar as the Qin Wangjun after all.

Several times when he wanted to completely exterminate the Qin Wang army, he was skillfully dodged.

500,000 against 1 million, although it is a retreat.

But it never collapsed.

The biggest reason for this is that the reincarnations of the Great Zhou Dynasty appeared in the army of King Qin.

A reincarnated man named Li Fei served as the commander-in-chief of the Qinwang Army, and dozens of other reincarnated people surrounded him, and their grasp of the battlefield situation and the precise control of the army kept the Qinwang Army from collapsing.

Like kraft candy, it has always been firmly entangled with the Qin army to prevent it from taking a step forward.

Seeing that there was no way to break through King Qin's army and enter the capital city in a short period of time, and that other armies of the Zhou Dynasty were still joining King Qin's army in a steady stream to replenish the troops of King Qin's army, the Qin army, which was originally high-spirited, finally began to feel anxious.

Nearly two months have passed since the troops were sent to attack the Great Zhou.

Not to mention how much pressure the supply of grain and grass is on the millions of Qin troops, just to say that there are other countries around the empty Qin country, it is also doomed that they will not be able to stay in the territory of the Great Zhou for a long time.

Eventually, the Qin army, which could not bear the pressure, began to retreat slowly, preparing to return home after a final plunder.

And yet at this moment.

Futian Pass, which was originally still in the hands of the Qin army, suddenly came with news that a mysterious Zhou Dynasty army attacked the Qin army left behind in Futian Pass, wanting to recapture Futian Pass and cut off the Qin army's back road.

The battle was fought all night.

This mysterious and powerful force rushed to the city wall several times, and under the pressure of tens of thousands of Qin troops, it almost tore apart the defense line of Futian Pass.

The two sides fought fiercely until the next day, when the sky was almost dawn, and the mysterious Zhou army withdrew.

When this news was transmitted back, it almost scared off half of Qin Jun's life.

This mysterious Great Zhou army was dressed in red armor, and the strength of each of them was above that of the Dragon and Tiger Army, and even the black armor guards of the Qin army could not resist it.

If it weren't for the fact that the generals of the Qin army had left a hand in the end, they would have left the most powerful reincarnation and the most elite soldiers of the Black Armor Guard in Futian Pass to ensure that they would not be cut off when they evacuated.

Maybe you'll really flip in the gutter.

But despite this, this accident still scared many Qin soldiers into a cold sweat, the Zhou Dynasty did not have an army wearing red armor on the surface, and now it was suddenly sent out by Zhou Tianzi, which obviously means that Zhou Tianzi still has hole cards in his hand that have not been taken out.

In addition, there was enough gold and silver looted this time, and the soldiers were already satisfied and wanted to return to China.

The speed of the Qin army's retreat became significantly faster.

About a month later, the Qin army gathered its formation and began to withdraw from the Central Plains from Futianguan one after another, and when leaving, it used gunpowder to blow up a big hole in the wall of Futianguan from the inside.

……

Li Yueming, who was far away in Beibing Town, had been paying attention to the war between Zhou and Qin.

After hearing the news, he couldn't help but smile wryly.

The old Qin State of Xiangba broke through the Futian Pass and rushed into the Central Plains, only to be blinded by the world of flowers in the Central Plains.

If you don't loot along the way, but rush to Hojing non-stop.

It is estimated that the army of King Qin in various places cannot even organize 100,000 men.

If the capital city of Ho is breached, the entire Zhou Dynasty will immediately be in chaos.

Qin Junda can take advantage of this to eat more benefits.

Of course, this is just Li Yueming's thoughts.

In fact, the Zhou Dynasty has not decayed to the point where it was destroyed so easily, and the Qin State is indeed strong, but after all, it is still the Great Zhou Land that entered from the north, and the supply line is too long.

If you came all the way from the Western Lands.

The supply line is almost a third shorter, and maybe you can try to destroy the Great Zhou.

Killing from the north is destined to be only able to plunder.

If you can't attack the pickaxe capital for a long time, the Qin army may have to suffer a big loss.

It's better to burn, kill, loot and destroy on the road, and on the whole, you may earn more.

But no matter what, the war still caused immeasurable losses to the Zhou Dynasty.

Let's not mention the land and wealth that were destroyed and plundered by the Qin army.

Let's just say that this failed war dealt a huge blow to Zhou Tianzi himself and the imperial power of the Zhou Dynasty itself.

A failed war made all the countries in the world see the decline of the Zhou Dynasty, and the armies of the Qin King from all walks of life responded to the call to rush to the aid of Hojing Wangji, and in order to repay them, Zhou Tianzi also needed to sacrifice a lot of bargaining chips politically.

Taken together, several have even hurt the national capital of the Zhou Dynasty.

Now that Qin Jun was full of food and drink, he grabbed a lot of things, and ran away.

Li Yueming is a little uncomfortable here.

The Zhou Dynasty, which had nowhere to be angry, might put the hat of this turmoil on his head, and there was a small probability that he would send a powerful cultivator to assassinate him, and there was a high probability that he would even lead a large army to exterminate Buchen.

The army put aside.

Da Zhou has just experienced a civil strife, and he should not dare to send troops to fight in a short period of time.

Even if Zhou Tianzi jumps his feet, he has to try.

The Xingyue Army and the Zhenbei Army can also resist when they join forces.

In contrast, the assassination of a high-level cultivator was something that Li Yueming was more worried about.

Li Yueming himself is not afraid of assassination, after all, although his strength is not yet at the top in this world, it is more than enough to save his life.

In addition, he often stays in the big tent of the Star Moon Army.

Under normal circumstances, it is difficult to get started.

The only people who need to be vigilant and worried are the family members.

Whether it was Li Ruxing, Li Ruyue, or Li Nanfeng, their own cultivator strength was not enough to deal with the assassination of top masters.

Just in case, Li Yueming wrote a letter to Li Nanfeng.

However, Li Nanfeng's letter back to him made Li Yueming feel reassured, as the previous prince of Zhenguo, it naturally made sense that the Li family could stand out from thousands of families in the western land.

The second-generation ancestor of the Li family was a powerful cultivator in the Heavenly Tribulation Realm.

After the realm of the gods, you can survive the heavenly tribulation.

This realm is ranked tenth in the Ascending Twelve.

It's only two steps away from the Ascension of Silence.

It was also with the support of the second-generation ancestors that the Li family stood out from many families, and in just two generations, they sat in the position of the prince of Zhenguo.

Now, although the ancestor has left the Li family, he has traveled all over the world, and his feelings have disappeared.

But the influence of the ancestor is still there.

There are also a lot of offerings to the Guiyuan and Divine Realms under the command of the Li family.

As the only legitimate heir of the Li family now, Li Yueming actually has the worship and attention of the Divine Skill Realm around him, and the level of the guards around Li Ruxing and Li Ruyue is not as high as him, and there is only the worship and attention of the Guiyuan Realm.

It is no wonder that Li Nanfeng has ignored Li Yueming for so many years.

It turned out that there was already a family power around him who was already paying attention to Li Yueming's growth.

Of course, these strengths of the Li family are still far from those of the Zhou royal family.

After all, there are super powerhouses in the Silent Annihilation Realm behind Zhou Tianzi, and there are a lot of offerings in the Heavenly Tribulation Realm, but when they don't exist, they will basically not make a move.

Normally.

The Returning Yuan and Divine Realm are already the pinnacle that most ordinary cultivators can see.

Practitioners who go up and above are basically single-minded in their cultivation.

It is difficult for mundane things to stir their emotions.

Therefore, assassinating this kind of work, no matter how strong the killer sent by Zhou Tianzi is, it is at most in the realm of divine aura.

The Li family was barely able to catch it.

After receiving this letter, Li Yueming breathed a sigh of relief.

As long as he can protect his loved ones from assassination, the pressure on him is more than a chip.

Next, it depends on how the Zhou Dynasty will react after coming back to his senses, and then see the tricks according to his own situation.
