Chang'an of the Tang Dynasty, in the palace, the imperial study is lit with candles.

Li Shimin, who hung a huge map on the wall, said in a deep voice: "How?"

Beside him, Wei Zheng looked tired, but his voice was still full of energy.

"Jiangnan, it's not messy. ”

As soon as these four words were spoken, Li Shimin's figure was shocked, and he exhaled heavily, and the stone hanging in his heart suddenly fell, and sweat came out in an instant.

He turned around and sat down on the chair, clenched his fists, and finally sighed: "Water can carry a boat, and it can also capsize a boat, the people of Datang did not disappoint me, they did carry me." ”

Wei Zheng was also a little excited, and said: "The 800,000 army and cultivators of various factions, and millions of fish demons fought for a day and two nights in the wilderness for hundreds of miles, and we suffered heavy losses, according to the latest information, there are less than 150,000 left in the 800,000 army, and there are still 49 people left in the original 100,000 elites." ”

"In this battle, no one flinched. ”

Hearing this, Li Shimin's pupils constricted, and he couldn't help but close his eyes.

After more than ten breaths, he opened his eyes and said in a suppressed voice, "What about the water tribe?"

"Almost all of them were wiped out. ”

Wei Zheng said: "We have killed millions of water tribes, and the remaining water tribe demons have lost their combat effectiveness and even their lives one by one because they have been away from the ocean for too long. ”

Li Shimin rubbed his eyes, as if he had aged many years all of a sudden, and said slowly: "Of the 900,000 army, I'm afraid there are only 100,000 people left, these are the most heroic soldiers in my Tang Dynasty." ”

"yes. ”

Wei Zheng said bitterly: "Fortunately, the people in Jiangnan are not in chaos, otherwise we will lose this war after all, and the current situation seems that the losses on both sides are extremely heavy." Strictly speaking, we didn't win, we paid too heavy a price, Jiangnan didn't have any defense, once the Chaos Emperor Jade gathered the water monster again, Jiangnan really couldn't hold it. “

Li Shimin nodded, but a sharp light flashed in his eyes, and he said: "Reassemble the water monster? It doesn't have that chance, I said, who can carry the boat, can also overturn the boat, Chaos Emperor Jade does not treat these water tribes as lives, it will inevitably cause public anger, the ocean, no longer belongs to it." ”

Wei Zheng was stunned for a moment, and suddenly said, "Then isn't it defeated?"

"We are not victorious, but the Chaos Emperor Jade will definitely be defeated, Jiangnan is not chaotic, and their fundamental purpose has been defeated. ”

Li Shimin stood up and said loudly: "Long Xiaoyun's news to me, the various sea clans in the East China Sea and the South China Sea are already furious, tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of troops are killing the Dragon Palace of the East China Sea, and no one can stop this force. ”

Wei Zheng hurriedly said: "Great, great, the most difficult south is finally saved." ”

Li Shimin shook his head and said, "Who said that the south has been preserved? The hundreds of miles of land along the southern coast will be a brand-new base for the Chaos Emperor Jade." ”

Wei Zheng said: "They want to occupy the south, and the target is Jiangnan?"

"It's useless. ”

Li Shimin sneered: "They don't have enough people, they can't get Jiangnan, there is no point in slaughtering, and it is impossible for the people to subdue it in a short time. ”

Wei Zheng's face changed, and he immediately said: "Then hurry up and give an order to let all the defenders from all over the country return to Beijing, stationed outside Chang'an, and defend the Beijing division." ”

"Hmph. ”

Li Shimin said: "No need, I have to open the gate and wait for them to come to Chang'an to kill people." ”

"What?"

Wei Zheng subconsciously exclaimed, but he didn't dare to ask in detail, he knew that His Majesty had His Majesty's considerations.

And Li Shimin looked at the map again, his face was pale, his eyes were slightly red, and he said in a trembling voice: "Wei Qing, the north, is about to fall." ”

Wei Zheng felt a chill down his spine, and couldn't help but say, "Your Majesty, are you saying that the border city can't be defended? That's an army of three million demon clans." ”

Li Shimin shook his head and said: "I can't hold it, you are the prime minister, you should have seen the specific data of the first demon change in the world three years ago, how many evil demons, that is not something that people can stop." ”

"A monstrous fire has already wiped out most of the evil demons, and the armies of Ten Thousand Beasts Ridge and Pansi Ridge, in the face of tens of millions of evil demons who escaped from the fire, may be able to fight against them. But the world has changed demons, people die into ghosts, and demons die into demons, I believe that General Cheng has learned that at least tens of thousands of demons and ghosts will be born in the north. ”

"It is precisely because of this that I urgently recruited troops, and almost without practice, I was pulled directly to the border pass. ”

Wei Zheng opened his mouth, wanting to speak, but he really didn't dare to say it.

He usually dares to say anything in the excerpts, but this time, it involves the fundamentals of social affairs, which is too sensitive.

Li Shimin seemed to know what he was thinking, and sighed: "You guessed right, these 400,000 troops are going to die." From a practical point of view, they are just recruits, and I have not invested much in them, so it is relatively a pity to die. ”

"But Wei Qing, they are all my people of the Tang Dynasty, don't I feel sad? There is no way, the other soldiers are also people, and they will go to the battlefield to kill the enemy in the future. ”

"In order to preserve the strength of the Tang Dynasty, for that glimmer of hope, I can only be so cruel. ”

"There is not a day that I do not feel grieved for them. ”

Wei Zheng's brain was buzzing, and he suddenly knelt down and said loudly: "The minister is afraid!"

He seemed to have seen the terrible picture in front of his eyes, the sea of blood was monstrous, the evil demons and demon beasts were killed like a river of blood, and the corpses were like mountains, and finally the Ten Thousand Beasts Ridge and Pansi Ridge completely collapsed under the attack of the demons, and the entire battle line was lost.

The evil demon that passed through the defense line went straight to the border city, plus the original defenders of the border city, a total of 500,000 troops guarded the border city, and fought to the death with the evil demon, and finally the city was destroyed.

The evil demon drove straight in, and there were not many left, but it was difficult for the people in the north of the Tang Dynasty to escape for their lives.

What a national disaster!

The first demon mutiny in the world killed countless people, countless people died in the Great Transfer, millions of soldiers from the north and south died, and now the people of the north will be slaughtered again.

Datang, the people, why should they bear such a catastrophe.

Thinking of this, Wei Zheng's eyes were red, and he almost shed old tears.

During this period of time, he was almost about to collapse, tired, tired day and night, countless bad news, his old body, I am afraid that he will not be able to withstand it for too long.

Li Shimin looked at the north and muttered, "Is there still the fate of the Tang Dynasty?"

No one will be able to answer this question.

And at this moment, in the southeast, at the place of entry into Jiangnan, Ye Qingfeng and the others had already exhausted their mana.

They tried everything they could to recover themselves, but they couldn't do anything, their voices were hoarse, and they could only shout: "Kill, kill these bastards." ”

At this point in the war, hatred has long been drowned out of reason, and the remaining more than 100,000 warriors chased after the water tribe warriors who had lost the battle, and slaughtered all the way back.

In the middle of the night, the moon was shining, and they seemed to be crazy.

"Revenge! Revenge for the dead brothers!"

"Never die!"

"Kill!"

Countless voices were roaring, everyone's voices were hoarse, swords were broken, and knives were curled, but the killing intent never subsided.

In this battle of blood and fire, everyone paid a heavy price.

Even if there was no mana, Ye Qingfeng and the others were injured, because their mana was exhausted, and in the end they fought like an ordinary person.

And what about the North?

Mu Lingfeng supported the blood Linglong and fled towards the deep mountains with difficulty.

Blood Linglong's face was full of tears, and he was still saying loudly: "Don't stop me, let me continue to kill, don't stop me." ”

"Unstoppable!"

Mu Lingfeng gritted his teeth and said: "Don't be stubborn, we can't stop it, our defense line has collapsed." ”

Blood Linglong cried bitterly: "Then die, let me die on the battlefield." ”

"Don't be stupid. ”

Mu Lingfeng's usual frivolity was gone, his gaze was calm, and he said word by word: "If you die, Pansiling's heart will be completely scattered, what do you want other demon beasts to do?

"We did our best in this battle, we almost killed all the demon beasts, at most hundreds of thousands are left, it's their turn, it's time for Datang." ”

Blood Linglong's tears kept flowing down, and he said in a trembling voice: "Three million troops, are they gone, are they gone?"

Mu Lingfeng said: "Maybe tens of thousands have been dispersed, you can take a look, look at the battlefield." ”

Through the dense forest, the blood Linglong looked down, only to see that from the halfway up the mountain, the trees were all broken, the grass and trees were destroyed, the earth was red, and blood was sprinkled all over the field.

Countless broken corpses spread all over the earth, stretching for I don't know how far, where is the human world, it is clearly Shura Purgatory.

"Woo ......"

Blood Linglong cried out in pain, and couldn't help but throw herself into Mu Lingfeng's arms.

Mu Lingfeng suddenly felt so powerless, he could only hold the blood Linglong, gritted his teeth and said: "It will end, we will win, there are still demon beasts in Pansi Ridge, countless demon beasts, let's gather them, let's continue to fight." ”

Blood Linglong said: "But they don't believe in Pansiling anymore. ”

"No, they'll believe it. ”

Mu Lingfeng said: "Pansi Ridge has brought them peace for hundreds of years, and they will understand this. ”

Blood Linglong cried and shook her head: "It's too difficult, my heart is scattered." ”

Mu Lingfeng pressed the shoulders of the blood linglong, and he said word by word: "It's difficult, we have to do it, we have no choice, and the Three Realms have no choice." ”

He pulled the blood Linglong to stand up and said loudly: "We are not at fault, we have done our best, we fought with the evil beast until the last moment." No one can accuse us of defeat, and everyone should respect us. ”

"Now we should go back to Pansilling, do what we think is the most difficult thing, gather the remaining demon beasts, continue to fight, and protect our world. ”

"Senior Sister Linglong, you are a strong person, whether it is for yourself, or for the life that died in battle, or for the world, we can't give up. ”

"You must not give up. ”

Blood Linglong raised her head, looked at Mu Lingfeng with a firm gaze, and finally nodded.
