467. Flood pattern
Coincidentally, before Li Tian's destiny came, Huang Taiji, who had hesitated for a long time, finally couldn't bear the ambition in his heart and chose to send troops to the Ming Dynasty.
With the current chaos of the Ming Dynasty, it is naturally not the opponent of Huang Taiji, and in just a few days, the warlords who are fighting in the north of the Ming Dynasty are basically swept away by the Terrans who have defected to the Jin clan.
Either he died in battle, or he chose to take refuge in the Jin family. Even the royal family of the Ming Dynasty failed to keep their own capital, and with a part of the remnants of the defeated army, they fled to the south of the Yangtze River in embarrassment, and temporarily ruled the river with the demon clan.
It's just that everyone knows that this kind of time won't last long, and it's only a matter of time before Daming is destroyed by the demon clan.
However, in such a situation, the Ming royal family, who had been like Shi Lezhi and felt stupid things again and again, actually had a very smart attention at this time, that is, to drive the tiger and devour the wolf, and introduce the patriotic army to fight against the demon clan, and the Ming Dynasty can sit back and enjoy the results.
I have to say that this is the only life-saving straw that the Ming royal family can grasp at the moment, for which Daming even did not hesitate to send dozens of waves of envoys to the country.
After receiving Daming's request for help, Li Zheng was stunned at first, after all, although the loss of Weiguo was much better than that of Daming, it also buried hundreds of millions of troops, and now it is just that the domestic rebellion has just been quelled.
It's just that after some careful consideration, Li Zai still decided to rescue Da Ming. After all, if the demon clan occupies the Ming Dynasty, the next Bingfeng must be to defend the country.
And it is better to burn the flames of war in the territory of the Ming Dynasty than to fight in the country.
So after making up his mind, Li Zao personally led 50 million elites to the Ming Dynasty to fight against the demon clan.
In the face of the demon clan's 10 billion army, Li Zao naturally knew that this part of the soldiers and horses he brought was just a drop in the bucket, but Li Zao was not without hole cards.
At least there is no loss in the number of the underworld's army far beyond the demon clan, although Hongdou said that he didn't want the underworld to intervene in the war between the two sides, but after all, he was Li Zao's sister-in-law, and he would not be indifferent in the face of Li Zao's embarrassment.
Therefore, the army of the prefecture was dispatched again, and a part of Chen Bing was assigned to defend the western border of the country to prevent the Jade Emperor from raiding. Most of them followed Li Zheng to embark on the journey of conquering the demon clan.
In this expedition, the underworld has already made preparations, and the yin qi array was laid along the way, and the first was to ensure that the march of the underworld yin soldiers in the large array would not lose combat effectiveness.
The battle started quickly, and the strong men of the Immortal Palace did not dare to cross the Thunder Pond because they had received the warning of the ancestral tree and the base camp of the capital. In comparison, the number of strong people of the demon clan is much less than that of the Difu and the Patriotic Alliance, and even the number of ordinary soldiers is far greater than that of the demon clan.
The demon clan has gone through a series of turmoil, and the overall number adds up to only 10 billion. And the underworld is just a legion, with tens of billions of soldiers and horses.
If Hongdou disregards karma and directly pulls all the ghosts in the underworld out to participate in the war, the number is only possible to exceed one trillion.
Of course, the current strength is enough to crush the demon clan, and Hongdou will not be so unwise.
The advantage in strength, coupled with Li Zheng, the commander who far surpassed the commander of the demon clan, faced the alliance between the defense of the country and the underworld, and in a short period of time, the demon clan was defeated and retreated.
This situation made the emperor of the demon clan, Huang Taiji, thunderous, but there was no good way for a while.
In the end, it only took five days for the coalition to drive the demon clan out of Daming.
The demon clan that retreated to the white mountains and black waters, and even had to deal with the ubiquitous Yin soldiers in the underworld, looking embarrassed.
And at this moment, the messenger sent by the Ming Dynasty arrived again.
The person who came was still an old acquaintance of Li Zai, and naturally he was the martial king of this generation.
It is said that King Wu was one of the people who took the lead in retiring in order to preserve his strength, and now he is the only one in the Ming royal family who holds the military power, so he is naturally relied on by the Ming Emperor.
King Wu's intention is very clear, and he naturally hopes that Li Zheng can return the large piece of land that Jiangbei once occupied by the Ming Dynasty to the Ming Dynasty.
In the face of the unrealistic idea of King Wu and the Ming royal family, Li Zheng only replied, if the demon clan goes south again, I don't know if the Ming Dynasty has the strength to resist?
King Wu replied: Maybe!
Li Zai asked again: If this king retreats at this moment, and billions of people of the demon clan go south, I don't know if the Ming royal family can protect itself?
At this time, King Wu was directly asked, and after thinking for a long time, he replied, can Wei Guo station an army on the border between Daming and the demon clan.
Faced with such a shameless request from Da Ming, Li Zai refused without thinking about it.
Since then, Li Zai has never received King Wu again, and even the rest of the envoys sent by the Ming court, Li Zai has avoided it.
It was also from that day that Li Zai was completely disappointed in Da Ming and directly sent Du Dingbang to envoy the demon clan.
I don't know what kind of agreement Du Dingbang reached with the demon clan, in short, the two sides used their respective borders as the line, temporarily calmed down, and did not start the war.
Soon after, another demon army, under the leadership of the aquatic demon clan, bypassed the Jiangbei region occupied by the Wei Guo, and attacked the land south of the Yangtze River, and the entire Ming royal family that was caught off guard was served in one pot.
Li Zai was furious when he heard this, and sent troops to avenge the Ming Dynasty, and it didn't take long to kill the demon clan in Jiangnan.
Therefore, Li Zai's prestige in the Ming Dynasty reached its peak, and it was logical to include the territory of the Ming Dynasty in the territory of the country.
After all, after being plagued by the demon clan, all the people of the Ming Dynasty were extremely eager for a comforting life.
And this kind of stable life can only be given by Li Zheng.
What everyone didn't know was that after the Wei Guo occupied the Ming Dynasty, the Yin soldiers who were constantly harassing between the white mountains and black waters also disappeared.
After that, the two sides ushered in a rare brief peace, except that Li Zheng sent a partial division further south to continue to attack the city, that is, the Western Jade Emperor launched several tentative attacks on the country.
After discovering that the defense of the country was well defended with the help of the underworld and had no chance to take advantage of it, the Jade Emperor also extinguished this thought. After all, the two sides are still allies on the surface, and it is better to say that they really want to tear their faces, and the Jade Emperor, who is the only saint-level powerhouse, does not think that he can withstand the wrath of the underworld.
From the words sent back by the ancestral tree, it can be known that the process of the Immortal Palace's pursuit of the Kunlun Saint-level powerhouse may not be smooth, so it is better not to provoke.
At this point, the whole flood was temporarily calmed down.
The Demon Clan is busy recuperating in the White Mountains and Black Waters, and the Guardian also needs time to digest the newly occupied territory.
It was under such circumstances that Li Tianming returned to the flood with Laojun and the peacock.
Let's not talk about what kind of state Lao Jun was in when he went to the Immortal Palace, let's just say that the situation faced by the peacock after returning to the demon clan was not very ideal.
That's right, except for the Peacock Clan, the rest of the Demon Clan at this time have become subordinates of the Jin Clan.
And the peacock was just as they thought, for the stability of the demon clan, he did not kill the Jin clan.
But after all, Peacock is the only saint-level powerhouse of the Demon Clan, and no one dares to disobey his words, even if they are in the Jin Clan.
Therefore, after explaining that he was not allowed to attack the human race again, the entire demon clan did not dare to step out of the white mountain and black water, otherwise even if he died, he would die in vain.
