Su An can understand the operation of Qi and Zhao, in their opinion, the strength of the demon clan in the north is limited, even if they get the relics and treasures, they cannot be the opponent of the alliance forces of the countries in the north of the continent, so there is no need to worry about the demon clan being too troubled.

After seizing Lingdong Province, the demon clan in the north did not make any stops, and the troops marched together in three ways and went south to the hinterland of Yan Kingdom.

Yan Guo dispatched a large army to block the attack layer by layer, and a group of middle backbone generals represented by Guo Huai'an, with the regular army of the major military regions and the elite of the capital division, played some quite dazzling achievements, and the results cannot be ignored.

However, the corruption and decay of the Yan State are holistic, from the quality of soldiers to high-level decision-making, there is a collapse and powerlessness everywhere, so the overall situation is still an avalanche.

In just two months, the Yan Kingdom lost nearly half of its territory, and the demon clan soldiers in the north came to Daxing City.

During this period, the social sects that were called to fight suffered heavy losses, a large number of small and medium-sized sects were completely wiped out, and the citizens of various cities lacked food and water during and after the war because of improper command and deployment by the authorities, and a large number of unnecessary disasters occurred.

As a result, the crowd was surging, and in Daxing City and the cities south of it, a large number of social sects were unwilling to obey the authorities' calls, and clashes broke out with the Dusi army, and there were countless bloodsheds.

Transcendents and citizens compete to flee government-controlled areas, or flee into the land of chaos, or flee to other countries.

Although the Yan Kingdom is a family of eunuchs and a sect group that holds power and wealth, they are limited in number after all and belong to an absolute minority.

When the social order is stable, they can guarantee their own interests, but when the society is completely out of control, they are just islands in the tsunami, and they cannot compete with the real storm at all, let alone bomb the lower classes.

In this case, the northern army has not yet been assembled in Daxing City, and Daxing City has already shown signs of collapse due to civil strife.

On the one hand, the authorities shouted that they would defend the capital to the death, and on the other hand, they secretly prepared to retreat south, which eventually led to chaos among the whole people, whether it was the extraordinary people of the people, or the soldiers of the capital, including ordinary citizens, they went south on their own, resulting in the defeat of Daxing City without a fight.

Su An finally settled An Xia Meng in Daxing City, but he had to move south again, and he was holding back his anger.

The turmoil and collapse of the overall situation made the internal struggle of the Yan Kingdom more and more intense, with the reformers and the authorities arguing fiercely at first, then beating them during parliamentary meetings, and finally developing into street assassinations.

"The reformers and the rulers are already on the same page, and if they continue like this, if they don't fight each other, they will go their separate ways and retreat to different provinces in the south."

Ji Xiaobai analyzed the situation with Su An, "At that time, the national power will be divided, don't say stop the demon army, I'm afraid that the fall of the Yan Kingdom will not be far away." ”

Su An said lightly: "The authorities have lost the hearts of the Yan people, but your reformers have gained a lot of support, and now the small and medium-sized social sects and civil forces are on your side, with such a popular base, it is reasonable for you to hold the state power." ”

Ji Xiaobai shook his head: "The high-level will not be willing to lose power." ”

Su An's expression was calm: "Then kill them." ”

When Li Changan and Ji Ningge were besieged and killed, the Yan authorities dispatched a lot of forces, and with the help of Nangong Buqi, Song Jiao, Jiang Bai and other rebel masters, Su An began to liquidate them.

Half a month later, with the fall of many high-ranking authorities, the Yan State completed the power purge, the reformers who had gained the support of the people reorganized the cabinet, and the Yan army retreated to the south.

Guo Huai'an was ordered to preside over the battle, and after layers of fortification and days of difficult and bloody battles, he barely held the three southern provinces.

During this period, the new cabinet reached an agreement with Qi and Zhao, and the coalition armies of various countries were formed, and Qi sent troops north to help Yan stabilize the southern theater, and Zhao attacked from the west to attack the flank of the demon army.

Two months later, the battle situation was temporarily balanced, and the demon army in the north formed a strategic confrontation with the allied forces of various countries. At this time, Zhao actually occupied the two western provinces of Yan, and Qi obtained the Beihai Islands.

The biggest harvest is, of course, the Northern Demon Clan, the nineteen provinces of the Yan Kingdom, and they account for thirteen.

When the battlefield between humans and demons was generally calm, just like two thousand years ago, the nations within the human race began to fight each other.

In order to solve the problem of inconvenient governance of the enclave, the front-line army of Zhao transferred its troops, first secretly attacked and defeated the Zhongshan army that fought side by side with them, and then joined forces with the local army to destroy the Zhongshan State.

At this time, Qi Guo felt that there was no need for Yan Guo to exist, and the three southern provinces were fat meat on the lips, and it really didn't make sense not to eat it, so he also learned from Zhao Guo to transfer troops to attack the Yan army, but was ambushed by Guo Huai'an, who had already been prepared, and the loss of troops was defeated.

Afterwards, in order to give an explanation to the people, the wicked people of Qi State sued first, accusing the Yan army of being ungrateful, attacking the Qi army who helped them, and at the same time secretly contacted the demon clan in the north, and agreed to send troops together to destroy the remnants of the Yan State and divide the three southern provinces equally.

The Northern Demon Clan agreed, and when it came to the agreed day to send troops, the Northern Demon Clan only sent two divisions to feint, and the Qi army was deflated again and was attacked by Guo Huai'an.

At this time, the Qi army discovered that the main army of the demon clan in the north was no longer on the southern front, but was transferred to the northeast to attack the Bohai Kingdom early.

Taking advantage of the annexation of Zhongshan by Zhao, the Qi army attacking the Yan army, and the internal instability of the human alliance, the demon clan in the north successfully defeated the Bohai country, and by the time Zhao and Qi reacted, the demon army had returned to the front line of the confrontation.

"Peace? You occupy our thirteen provinces, and you still want to negotiate peace with us? Okay, return these thirteen provinces to us, and we will agree to make peace! ”

Ji Xiaobai looked at Lili, the Holy Envoy of the Northern Realm, in front of him, with a bitter hatred in his eyes.

Old God Lily said in the tunnel: "You can refuse, in that case, you can't hold the last three provinces in the south, if we don't fight, the Qi country will also fight." Do you think that with just these three provinces, you will be able to block the Qi army? ”

Ji Xiaobai was silent.

Yan Guo and Qi Guo have already fought twice, and their faces have long been torn, the latter will definitely not give up, and with Yan Guo's current strength, it will not be able to stop Qi Guo's attack.

Ji Xiaobai turned his head to look at Su An.

Su An thought for a while and said to Lily: "You return half of the territory of Yan State, otherwise you will not be able to convince the people, and the new cabinet will inevitably step down, and then you will continue to fight with Qi and Zhao by yourself." ”

Lily stretched out a finger: "How can there be any reason to spit out the meat you eat, at most give a province to let you appease the people." ”

Su An snorted coldly: "We refuse." ”

Lily stared at him for a long time, and said angrily: "You are obviously an elf person, how can you mix with demons and help demons deal with your own people?" ”

Su An shook his finger: "I'm half elf and half human, so I'm very fair." ”

Lily tilted her head and began to weigh up.

This time, the successful counterattack of the demon clan in the north will inevitably cause the collective attention of all human countries, although they are not worried about other countries, but the northern countries of the Xia Shang Continent have to pay attention, mainly Zhao and Qi.

The decision of the northern border is that it can only confront one big country, and cannot fight on two fronts. Therefore, they need the Yan Kingdom to continue to exist, with the Yan Kingdom on the south side, the Qi State does not have to worry, and the northern demon clan can concentrate on dealing with the Zhao State, so that they can safely digest the fruits of victory.

As for Yan Guo, the territory of just three provinces was attacked by the abdomen, and it was a situation that would be destroyed in minutes, so it was urgent to breathe a sigh of relief.

At the end of 2031 in the Zaiyao Era, the Yan Kingdom successfully negotiated peace with the Northern Demon Clan, and the latter ceded the three provinces that had been captured, so that the Yan Kingdom could continue to hold on with the strength of the six provinces.

After this battle, the Yan State was reduced to a small country, removed from the ranks of the Seven Heroes, and the Seven Heroes became the Six Heroes.

However, the strife did not stop there, and at the beginning of 2032 in the Zaiyao Era, the Western Territory, Southern Xinjiang, and East Sea Demon Clans launched counteroffensives one after another, waging war against the human kingdom that occupied the main body of the Xia Shang Continent.

By the end of 2032, the Qin State in the western part of the mainland and the Chu State in the south will be captured in large territories, and the Wu State and the Yue State in the east will be directly destroyed, and the mainland will be shaken.

At this time, the various powers realized that in the years when they were busy with internal annexation wars, the demon clan had completely recovered and possessed considerable strength.

At the same time, the restored forces of Zhongshan and Bohai merged with the rebels, and with the help of the rebels, they successively defeated the unstable enemy and gained a large number of areas under their actual control.

Even in the provinces occupied by the demon clan in the central and northern parts of the Yan Kingdom, there are a large number of transcendents who have established bases with the help of the rebels.

The land of chaos that used to be opposed to the Yan authorities has been transformed into an area that is opposed to the demon authorities, and the transcendents of the Yan country have replaced the previous identity of the demon monks, and the strength of the power of chaos is growing day by day.

At the beginning of 2033 in the Zaiyao Era, the human countries held a joint meeting to rebuild the Demon Slaying Alliance, and because of the mediation of the Qin State and the Chu State, the Yan State and the Qi State temporarily eliminated the war and decided to unite with the outside world.

A real all-out war broke out, and from the summer of 2033, the armies of various countries fought fiercely with the demon clans on all sides, and for a time the city was full of flames and corpses.

Under the leadership of Ji Xiaobai's reformers, Yan has greatly improved its national strength through internal rectification, although the territory is only six provinces, less than one-third of the original Yan State, but with the establishment of the new order, the power that erupted is far from being comparable to the original Yan State.

Su An led the Anxia League to develop steadily, and as an intermediary between the new Yan State authorities and the rebels, he facilitated many cooperation and military operations between the two sides, and dealt a heavy blow to the demon clan in the north.

From 2033 to 2036, it is the counteroffensive stage of the human side, relying on concerted efforts, the human side has stabilized its position and has not let the four-faced demon clan continue to achieve results.

The year 2036-2037 is the year of establishing a new strategic balance, in which the two sides did not fight any battles and redrew the line of confrontation with the areas under their actual control.
