I am the man who wants to be the immortal and the devil emperor

The fingers tied to the weapon collapsed, and the strong wind brought by the blade was drowned in the angry roar

It was a fierce battle, and her throwing knife was quickly exhausted, and the sharp lancet also began to roll.

There was blood all around her, endless blood.

More and more people rushed over, and before you knew it, there were people all over the mountains and plains.

After most of the day passed, all the corpses left in the mountains and plains were again.

-

On the other side of the mountain, a short "girl" wearing a coarse cotton skirt is waiting for the return of the spies she sent.

The fierce battle in Dongbailing was unexpected even for her who was in charge of the intelligence work of the entire Evil Lotus Sect.

But Long Niu knew that this battle had a great possibility of affecting the whole situation.

In her opinion, those martial artists who launched the attack outside the city of Haozhou were all foolhardy and reckless.

And these reckless men brought in more copycats and attracted a large number of barbarians at the same time.There were two people who started this battle, one named Jiang Yiran and the other named Zhang Youcheng.

This Jiang Yiran has a little reputation in the martial arts world, but he is not a master either.

He used to be a member of the Dark Thunder Society, participated in the battle for the Conferred God Stone, and later responded to the call of Yun Caiyao, a fairy from the Taisu Immortal Pavilion, and entered the Overlord's Underground Palace.

As for Zhang Youcheng, few people in Jianghu knew about it.

But it is the key to this fierce battle.

Zhang Youcheng's father is Zhang Jiusi from Longqiuling.

Zhang Jiusi once tried to link up with the 29 villages of Longqiuling, raised troops against the barbarians, and attacked Gaoyou.

However, before he actually started the incident, Yue Chongliang, the son of Yue Ketai's family, had already noticed in advance that the Baiyang army suddenly came, and there were masters among them, beheading Zhang Jiusi.

Zhang Jiusi was originally a leader of the Dark Thunder Society. After his death, Zhang Youcheng inherited his father's will and continued to contact various righteous men.

The few remaining members of Fu Shiyuan's old department also fled here after successive defeats due to various reasons. The two parties gathered together, and before they knew it, they secretly turned into a hidden secret. The anti-barbarian forces under the nose of the barbarian army.

Long Niu didn't expect much from these people.

There is no doubt that these people are righteous men and knights.

But the vast majority of them are just running around like headless chickens. Although they are bent on resisting barbarism, they are completely out of order.

Failure and escape are their daily routine.They have witnessed the brutality of the barbarian army countless times. Except for the principle of resisting barbarism that will never change, in her opinion, other things are not worth mentioning.

This trip, the battle that swept north of the Changhe was started by Suizhou and Guangzhou.

Most of these people may not even know whether Suizhou and Guangzhou are in the southeast or northwest.

Attack the barbarian army's food and grass in places like Dongbailing, and then attack Longqiu Ridge again, where they gather a crowd to resist the barbarians.

Such suicidal actions, as long as they have a little understanding of the military deployment of the barbarian army, they will definitely not be able to do it.

But it is undeniable that at this time, the "central blossom" in the lower reaches of the Huai River is extremely beneficial to the Dongting Army.

If these people really gain a firm foothold in Longqiu Ridge, even if it is only ten and a half months.

It can also give the Dongting Army more opportunities to defend Suizhou and Gwangju.

In the end, these people will die, surrounded by barbarians, they will all die.

The Dongting army will successfully defend Suizhou and Guangzhou because of them, and the Huangtian army and the Dragon and Phoenix Society will all benefit from the turmoil behind the barbarian army.

These are people who try again and again to do the impossible and fail again and again.

This time, they will still fail...but they will win the overall situation.

-

It took a lot of effort for Long Niu's information to penetrate the encirclement of the barbarian army and present it to the magic commander of the Dongting army.

The news of the Longqiuling uprising made Shi Hao quite astonished.

But anyone who has a little understanding of the situation will never dare to rise up against barbarism in such a desperate situation under the current situation.

Part of the barbarian army besieging Suizhou will be forced to redeploy, and the barbarian army in the north will also roll down. In the end, it is hard to say how many people those rebels will survive.

More likely... none of them will escape alive.

In the main hall of the meeting, he placed the map on the short table, sat cross-legged on the ground, and looked at the map.

The location of Suizhou, the location of Chuzhou, the location of Chaohu... the location of Longqiu Ridge!

He let out a deep sigh.

This group of people helped everyone...but no one could help them!

The battle was still going on, and with the first explosion of the spring thunder, the upper and lower reaches of the Huai River were all involved in the flames of war.

The situation was so chaotic that no one could see it clearly.

But just as Shi Hao judged, after holding on for seven days, all the rebels in Longqiu Ridge were wiped out.

Huang Tianjun successfully captured Chuzhou, and the barbarians in the upper reaches of the Huai River were forced to return to defense.The Dongting army not only successfully defended Suizhou and Guangzhou, but even started to march further towards Yingzhou.

The loss of Chuzhou was a great threat to the barbarian army, which meant that Gaoyou City, which guarded the Grand Canal, was exposed to the attack of the Huangtian army.

The Dongting army and the Huangtian army have begun to echo each other strategically.

However, the Dragon and Phoenix Society still failed to capture Chaohu, and was still entangled with the barbarian army in Luzhou.

The barbarian army is like a long python, even though it was strangled by the Dongting army and Huang Tianjun, the Dragon and Phoenix Society failed to take the opportunity to break the long python by the waist.

As a result, the battle in Huai River and its surrounding areas became more and more complicated.

On the first day of the first lunar month, when it was supposed to be the Spring Festival, the war broke out to the extreme, and the Dongting Army captured Yingzhou.

On the second day of the first lunar month, in Songzhou, which is close to the Qinling Mountains, an uprising broke out among Songzhou's largest gangs and joint gangs, and even conquered various towns.

On the third day of the first lunar month, at least eight anti-barbarian forces revolted everywhere in Qinhuai, and wars broke out everywhere.

On the fourth day of the first lunar month, the Daxing City Tiandi Gang killed officials and rebelled.Afterwards, riots broke out in Bashan and Nanshan, and the anti-barbarian wave spread rapidly.

The barbarian court ignored the rebellion in other places, and the troops rushed down to calm down the Huai River with all their strength.In the south of the Qinling Mountains and north of the Changhe River, the strength of the barbarian army has reached 80.

The Dongting Army is also rapidly absorbing the surrounding anti-barbarian forces, with a strength of 15, and the banner is changed to "Xuan".

Mysterious and mysterious, the door of all wonders!The Dongting Army, with the background of the Evil Lotus Sect, took a name with the connotation of "Tao Te Ching".Such practices are too mysterious to be comprehensible.

On the sixth day of the first lunar month, Huang Tianjun entered Gaoyou City, occupied it for half a day, and then fell. Huang Tianjun was forced to retreat to Chuzhou.

And in the past few days, Longfeng will attract [-] rebels from Duxiong Mountain to assist in the attack on Luzhou.Li Chenglong personally went to the front to command the battle, but his success was on the verge of failure. Cao Tianyi, the leader of the Duxiong Mountain Rebel Army, "Halberd Hero", was beheaded by the barbarian A Haigan.

A Haigan is a fifth-rank master in the barbarian army, and also the son-in-law of Han He Ruishu, one of the four great families. He originally came from a low family background in the "royal family", but after being promoted by Han He Ruishu, he took him in as his son-in-law. And promoted all the way in the army.

He is good at the art of war, and possesses the supernatural power "Growing Heavenly King". Although he is a fifth rank, with the help of supernatural powers, he can be equivalent to a fourth rank.

The Dragon and Phoenix Association tried their best, but still failed to control Chaohu Lake. Even the Duxiong Mountain Rebel Army who came to help was defeated because of this, and the people's hearts were unstable for a while.

On the seventh day of the first lunar month, Li Chenglong of the Dragon and Phoenix Society proclaimed himself the "King of Great Prosperity", issued a call to action, and ordered the world to revive the Great Prosperity Dynasty.

"Is this person crazy?" Li Xiu'er, who was devastated by the failure of the attack on Gaoyou City, laughed angrily when she saw the letter presented to her in Chuzhou City.

Chapter 412 Dilemma, Two Heads

"Dasheng King? How did he have such a big face, calling him a lonely king?" Li Xiu'er was so angry that it was funny.

With the situation so chaotic, Huang Tianjun was forced to attack Gaoyou. The biggest point was that the Dragon and Phoenix Society couldn't even capture Luzhou.

As long as the dragon and phoenix will capture Luzhou and force Shouzhou in the middle of the Huai River, the Dongting army will not have to attack Yingzhou.

It is clear that the Dongting army should go to fight Xuzhou or Chenzhou, control the upper reaches of Yingshui, and suppress the barbarian army's strategic space on a large scale.

Just because the Dragon and Phoenix Society failed to approach Shouzhou as planned and strangled the lower part of the Huaihe River, Huang Tianjun faced tremendous pressure in the lower reaches of the Huaihe River. It can echo from head to tail in the upper and lower reaches of the Huai River.

But now, the Dragon and Phoenix Society, which has made no progress on the battlefield and is still fighting the barbarian army to the death in Chaohu, has begun to proclaim itself a prince and "order the world".

Where do they have such big faces?

"Li Chenglong is in a hurry!" In the hall, an old man in a long robe frowned first, and then relaxed his brows.

This old name is Tang Ze, he does not know martial arts, but is a pure literati.Although he is a literati, he has quite a reputation in the Bai Dao. The barbarian court once invited him to be an official, but he refused to do so. He fled overnight and was overtaken by the barbarian army.

Fortunately, although he doesn't know martial arts himself, he knows many friends who know martial arts, and they arrived in time to save him.

Afterwards, he lived in seclusion in a fishing village near the sea in the northeast of Chuzhou. After Li Xiuer captured Chuzhou, he found out about his whereabouts from a warrior in Baidao, went to the fishing village in person, and successfully invited him out.

In the hall used as a temporary meeting room, the braziers on both sides emitted heat. Tang Ze sat by the brazier on the right, stretched out his hands, and warmed them on the fire.

After all, he is not a martial artist, and he is already old. In this kind of weather, he can't bear it.

He said: "Dongting Army...well, it should be called Xuan Army now!"

He smiled and said: "The Xuan Army and our army are fighting more and more troops, and the bigger and wider the land, only the Dragon and Phoenix Club has been losing troops and generals in Chaohu Lake. If this continues, the Xuan Army and our army will become more and more powerful However, Li Chenglong placed his posture so high, as if he was expected by everyone, but there was no victory, and the Jiangzhou he had conquered earlier was not a big city.

"A bucket of water doesn't make noise, but half a bucket of water dangles! The more you have no results, the more you want to shout, for fear that you won't have a sense of existence."

Li Xiu'er was sitting by the brazier on the other side, also warming the fire, and several generals were beside her, listening to her discussion with Elder Tang.

Throwing the so-called proclamation into the brazier casually, she shook her head, a little helpless, but also a little funny.

In fact, it's not impossible for her to understand. When Li Badao just died and she became the manager, she was also very panicked.

She is not very old, and she is still a woman. Although Li Badao's success is due to her, it is completely different to serve as a "female military adviser" in the army and to be the leader herself.

At that time, whenever she discussed matters, she would stand on the steps, with her hands behind her back, posing in a dignified manner, for fear that the generals below would look down on her.

After successfully resisting the barbarian army going south, and even after conquering the important city of Guangling, although there were steps in her main meeting hall, she often walked down, came and went among the generals, and talked to them, and was not afraid of being among them. short.

As for now, after conquering Chuzhou, successfully gaining a foothold on the north side of the Changhe River, and acquiring a large piece of land east of the southern section of the Grand Canal and north of the mouth of the Changhe River.

When she discusses matters, she can find a side hall at random, and she doesn't need to look so grand. She wears a simple, not gorgeous cotton skirt, moves a small bench here and sits and warms herself by the fire.

The generals around her were tall and burly in armor and helmets, but she felt that she was sitting securely without any anxiety.

She hadn't worn the dark-gold Suzaku armor and tasseled red-gold crown specially ordered in Guangling City for several days.

Chuzhou, also known as Huai'an, is known as the four capitals of Jiangsu and Zhejiang together with Guangling, Gusu and Qiantang.Today, three of the four capitals of Jiangsu and Zhejiang were acquired under her leadership.Her achievements are enough for her to sit here with peace of mind.

Although the attack on Gaoyou failed this time, Gaoyou is actually not a big city, but just a springboard for attacking Xuzhou.

And in fact, they also captured Gaoyou, but a large number of barbarians from Xuzhou were killed, and barbarians were also mobilized in the upper reaches of the Huai River, so they were forced to withdraw.

If you want to fight, it is naturally impossible not to lose your troops.But in fact, in troubled times, as long as the territory continues to expand, there will be more soldiers and horses.

Even the speed at which soldiers and horses grow is often jaw-dropping, not to mention scaring others, even oneself will be startled.

After Huang Tianjun captured Chuzhou, they absorbed the surrounding anti-barbarian forces at an extremely fast speed, directly doubling their strength.

The Dongting Army... By the way, it is now called the Xuan Army!Its apparent strength has also grown from 15 to [-].

Even though there must be good and bad among them, and they are not as elite as before, the number of people is definitely not exaggerated... Maybe it is too much to say.

In the chaotic world, many people are at a loss. As long as you have the ability to win battles, forces of all sizes around the territory you occupy will quickly attach to it, and all kinds of talents will come by themselves.

Tang Ze said with a smile: "When Dragon and Phoenix sent troops, they were very powerful and mighty. They claimed to have 20 people, and there were countless warships, large and small. It was quite possible to determine the fate of the world. Luzhou is not a big city. The four counties are nothing compared to Guangling and Chuzhou. As a result, they are still trapped in Chaohu Lake. If I were Li Chenglong, I would panic, and if I were Li Chenglong, I would also panic.

"No matter how panicked, no matter how anxious, seeing that Luzhou still can't be defeated, I have no choice but to make my voice louder. It's a pity that in wars, loud voices are not useful."

Li Xiu'er looked at the burning charcoal in the basin, and exhaled: "He wants to use this message to order the rebels from all walks of life in Qinhuai, not only to show his sense of existence, but also to worry that these rebels will be continuously absorbed by us and the Xuan army?"

Tang Ze said: "The Xuan army is strong, but after all, it has a background in the magic sect. For some rebels, they always have scruples. Mr. Xiu'er, you are a daughter, and there will be some people who call themselves heroes and don't want to bow to the girl's family. Next. Li Chenglong shouted louder, maybe he could attract these people... Is this probably what he thought?"

Li Xiu'er really wanted to roll her eyes, but she suppressed it.

Although she was already able to sit here comfortably with a small bench, and let the generals wait by her side.

But it hasn't reached the point where he can let himself escape like that.

Pick up the iron tongs next to it, smash up the ashes of the call to action, and at the same time push the ashes off the charcoal fire.

She turned her head and said, "Old Tang thinks, how will the situation develop next? What should our army do?"

Tang Ze sighed: "The current situation is really too chaotic. The Barbarian Court will win this battle no matter what.

"There is a way to determine the Central Plains. What is the Central Plains? Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Huguang are not the Central Plains, they are called Jiangnan. Daxing City and Shu are not the Central Plains, they are called Qinguan and Xishu. Bashan, Chushui, and the south of Wuling are not the Central Plains. .

"This large piece of land in the middle and lower reaches of the Yellow River is the Central Plains. From a logical point of view, whoever occupies this piece of land is 'orthodox'.

"Since ancient times, the royal industry has not favored peace. The barbarian court can give up the south of the Yangtze River, but they will not give up the Central Plains anyway. If they lose the Central Plains, they can only flee north to the bitter cold land of the glacier. Although it used to be their ancestral property, 300 The glory and wealth of the past year, they can't go back."

Li Xiu'er nodded and said: "If the Central Plains are not restored, there can be no talk of reviving China. The barbarian court wants to stick to the Central Plains, but for any ambitious person in China, whether it is to divide the river and rule, or to settle down in Chu and Shu, it is not acceptable. .At the same time, it is precisely because of the righteousness to restore the Central Plains and drive out the Hulu that the forces of all parties are now able to join forces."

Tang Ze said: "That's right! But in the final analysis, after the overthrow of the Barbarian Court, the great cause of the future will only belong to one of the forces, and if it is said to be more extreme, it will only belong to 'one person'."
