"Quick, quick!"

Ying Zheng was in a hurry, led the army under his command, and quickly rushed back - there were so many top generals under his command, and in a very short period of time, the people of Western Qin judged that those troops who entered Western Qin must have come from Northern Zhao and Northern Yan, and the teleportation arrays near Handan and Jidu were all out of order, which also proved this.

Therefore, Ying Zheng did not dare to take people from Northern Zhao, but chose the road of Western Wei.

Although it is a little farther away, the teleportation array along the way is smooth, and the defense is naturally faster.

And the Eastern Qi army, when they got the news of the retreat of the Western Qin army, did not pursue with their tails - Tian Dan is a cautious person, knowing that if he pursues at such a time, he may fall into the trap of the other party, after all, whether it is Bai Qi or Wang Qian, no one is good at it.

"What we have to do is to restore the territory of Northern Zhao and Northern Yan as much as possible at the same time, and connect the territory of the three kingdoms together, so that we can have more buffer space, after all, what we want is not to destroy the country, but to make the national war unable to end in the remaining two years. ”

As for Tian Dan's words, all the high-level officials of Eastern Qi deeply believe that Eastern Qi has no intention of unifying the Eastern Continent, so in such a situation, it is naturally best to choose a safe method.

Then, we will fight steadily, the Western Qin army will retreat all the way, and we will take over all the way, and we will definitely not let the other party have the opportunity to annex our living forces.

As long as the current high-level strength is maintained, then it will converge with the army of Northern Zhao and Beiyan, and in such a vast land, the chance of maneuvering is so much greater, and it will be held for two years, and there will be no problem at all.

Looking at the Eastern Qi Army, which was fighting steadily and never advancing, Bai Qi, who was in charge of the break, sighed.

With Bai Qi's military ability, he was unwilling to return like this, whether it was him or Wang Jian knew in their hearts that this time the withdrawal of troops, then Western Qin would not have the opportunity to unify the Eastern Continent again!

However, they had to withdraw their troops, after all, if Xianyang was breached, then even if they had a strong army, they could only withdraw from such a competition.

Just like Nan Chu.

As the third powerful country in the East, Southern Chu can still enter the battlefield with more troops than Northern Zhao and Northern Yan combined, but their royal city is occupied by Western Qin, and they can only watch the Western Qin army gallop across the country.

However, whether it is a hero like Ying Zheng or a famous general like Wang Jianbai, they are not willing to give up what they want lightly.

As a result, the Western Qin army was divided into three parts, of which the number was smaller, but the strength was the strongest one, led by Wang Qian, the first to rush back to Xianyang at the fastest speed, and the army led by Win Zheng arrived later, and Bai Qi led a partial army to teach the Eastern Qi army a lesson.

If the Eastern Qi army is greedy for merit and rushes forward, and wants to chase and kill, or if it is too reckless to occupy the territory, Bai Qi will give them a good look.

It's a pity that Tian Dan, who began to grasp the power of this counteroffensive, showed his caution.

Step by step, steady and steady, step by step expanding the scope of his control, never dividing his troops - although this approach seems to be a little slower, it gives Bai Qi no chance to sneak attack.

Seeing such a situation, Bai Qi could only sigh - there were not many troops left for him, and when the Eastern Qi army was marching step by step, he could barely attack, and he could only lose this partial army in front of the local army.

"The best opportunity, the ...... has been lost"

Bai Qi let out a long sigh and began to withdraw his troops to Western Wei, at least he had to firmly control Western Wei in his own hands, in this case, there was still a fight.

A month later, the Eastern Qi army made contact with the army left by Northern Zhao to garrison Handan, and the entire important town of Northern Zhao was recovered in turn, and a large number of reorganized troops of Eastern Qi took over the defense of the town.

The dense teleportation array everywhere allowed the Eastern Qi to transport a large number of troops to the Northern Zhao border, and after a little rest, the Eastern Qi army drove into the Northern Yan, and half a month later, the Northern Yan recovered!

Eastern Qi occupied three countries, Western Qin occupied three countries, and the national war began to appear a balance of power.

Two months later, Fang Rui and others converged with Ji Changwei.

Originally, it was possible for them to take Xianyang, but Xianyang County Shou Lu Buwei was also a general, after knowing that Hangu Pass was breached, he immediately decided that in addition to letting Li Xin destroy the opponent, he also quickly notified the Western Qin army in front, and analyzed the situation in detail at this time, so that the Western Qin army had the opportunity to retreat quickly.

Originally, the two sides worked together to wipe out most of Li Xin's army, and it was only a matter of time before they took Xianyang, but the Western Qin army came back too quickly, and after discussing it, the Northern Zhao Iron Cavalry led by Zhao Wushuang and Li Mu was reduced to zero, and they were constantly harassed within Western Qin, involving the Western Qin's troops, Yan Hui and Jing Ke and other Northern Yan generals also led their assassins to be reduced to zero, lurking inside Western Qin - the Northern Yan assassins had the ability to overstep the level of assassination, and these 300,000 assassins were enough to cause ten times more damage than themselves!

And Fang Rui, who had completed the task, returned to the Eastern Qi army with the Guards.

After this battle, the battle situation in the Eastern Continent basically stabilized.

The Western Qin army, which was constantly harassed by the Northern Zhao and Northern Yan armies, was no longer able to control the entire Eastern Continent.

On the frontal battlefield, they still have an advantage, but Tian Dan and Ji Renfeng, who grew up in Eastern Qi, attack and defend, even if they occasionally lose a large piece of land, they can quickly get it back.

The two scattered armies of Northern Zhao and Northern Yan harassed the Western Qin for two years, and until the end of the National War, there were still soldiers of Northern Zhao and Northern Yan who had not been completely eliminated.

Although the famous generals of the Western Qin Dynasty were still outstanding, and at the end of the national war, they almost recovered the land they occupied at their peak, but they still did not complete the final strategic goal.

On the Eastern Continent, melodious singing sounded, and the news of the cessation of the national war spread throughout the entire Eastern Continent in a very short period of time, and the civilians were relieved, although in the past five years, the national war has never injured any civilians, but on a war-torn continent, it is not a good thing after all.

Ji Changwei, the lord of Eastern Qi, Ying Zheng, the lord of Western Qin, Xiong Shang, the lord of Southern Chu, Zhao Sheng, the lord of Northern Zhao, Wei Si, the lord of Western Wei, and Yan Dan, the lord of Northern Yan, all came to the center of the continent and met Dongfang Shuo, the envoy of the Central Celestial Empire.

"This national war is really a test of the strength of the others, the five-year national war has been terminated, and you have returned to your home country, and you have to start the dispute again. ”

Dongfang Shuo first set the tone for this meeting, the national war was just a test, and no one wanted to see the countries of the Eastern Continent fighting together.

The kings of the countries looked at each other, but there was not much hatred.

After all, in the national war, there were no casualties on both sides, and the losses of Eastern Qi were greater, but that was also caused by internal rebels and demon lords, to be precise, it didn't have much to do with Western Qin.

What's more, if nothing else, all the monarchs will go to the Central Celestial Empire to cultivate, trying to ascend to the immortal realm - then there is no contradiction at all.

"You have ruled the Eastern Continent for nearly a hundred years...... The hundred-year period is coming, and in another year, it will be the day when you will go to the Central Celestial Empire. ”

The monarchs have bowed their hands one after another, and the power of the mortal world is certainly nostalgic, but it is not much of a big deal to be a monarch in the realm of monks, and ascending to immortals and becoming a part of the immortal world is their ultimate goal.

However, even if you go to the Central Celestial Empire, you can't just leave, the number of countries that go to the Central Celestial Empire, and the candidates who will replace them...... Although there has been preparation for a long time, there is also a need for a period of transition.

Nine rank peak cultivators under the age of two hundred in all countries are eligible to go to the Central Celestial Empire, this is a very strict rule, and one day less is not allowed.

For example, Tian Zizai, the head of the Tian family, was also a young genius back then, but unfortunately, the age at which he became a peak monk of the Nine Grades was exactly two hundred and one years old, so he lost the possibility of entering the Central Heavenly Empire.

Otherwise, with the number of Nine Rank Cultivators in various countries, there would not be only more than a hundred people who could enter the Central Heavenly Empire.

They all have great luck, great talent, and incomparably firm will, so that they can become nine-rank peak cultivators before the age of two hundred, and such a talented monk is what the immortal world needs.

Monks like Tong Guò who are selected to enter the immortal realm can often be reused in the immortal realm, and those monks who ascend to immortality after breaking through in the outer realm often appear to be less powerful in the immortal realm.

Even if it's an immortal, it's different.

"That Fang Rui ......"

Ji Changwei asked, hearing this name, the other four monarchs all stroked their beards and smiled, and Win Zheng's eyes burst with a light - now he also knew why the national war ended up like this, although Fang Rui could only participate in the war with the Nine Rank Cultivation, but his personal space played a decisive role in this national war!

"He and you don't need to ...... This messenger is free to arrange. Dongfang Shuo smiled.

"In that case, I'll take my leave. ”

The kings bowed their hands one after another, and after a few words of greeting, they all set off to return to their own countries, after all, although their successors have been almost arranged, it will take some time to run smoothly.

After the monarchs left, Dongfang Shuo did not leave in a hurry, but continued to sit there until Fang Rui appeared in front of him.

"Your Excellency, what the hell did I arrange? ”

Fang Rui sat down in front of Dongfang Shuo with a big grin, and went to mend the spatial crack together, Fang Rui already knew that although this Dongfang Shuo had put on the appearance of a messenger in front of the monarchs, he was a witty person and didn't pay much attention to etiquette.

"You don't need my arrangement, because you and your family don't need to go to the Central Celestial Empire. Dongfang Shuo said with a smile.

"Why?" Fang Rui asked a little strangely.

"You'll know when the time comes. ”

Dongfang Shuo sold a pass: "A year later, this place is still here, I will take you and others to the Central Celestial Empire together, and when the time comes, you will know why you don't need to go to the Central Celestial Empire to cultivate." ”

"Then why do we still have to go to the Central Celestial Empire?" Fang Rui continued to ask.

"I don't want to say it now. Dongfang Shuo continued to sell Guanzi.

“...... Then I won't ask, it's just a year anyway. ”

Fang Rui shrugged his shoulders, his appearance like this made Dongfang Shuo strange.

"Didn't you ask so quickly? It made me feel unaccomplished. Dongfang Shuo sighed.

"Do you want me to ask or not?" Fang Rui smiled bitterly.

"Then don't ask, lest you be disappointed. Dongfang Shuo laughed: "By the way, how are the children of your family cultivating? There is still a year to go, they have to enhance their strength as much as possible, otherwise, even if they reach the immortal realm, their strength is too poor, and they will only become a burden to you." ”

"Don't worry, it won't. Fang Rui said confidently: "They won't be a burden to me, they ...... It's my family. ”
