empire wars

Chapter 167 The Argument of Mount Tai
"Sooner or later, the Heavenly Dao Army will perish, it doesn't matter whether they join forces or not."

Qin Yuan thought for a while and said. "On the contrary, the Liehan Dynasty cannot be destroyed in our hands."

Although the Lie Han Dynasty has declined, it has not really perished after all. It still belongs to the orthodoxy. It can perish at the hands of the traitors of Heaven and Dao, and can be replaced by the same clan King Nanjing, but it cannot be destroyed by princes like Qin Yuan.

Otherwise, as a 'subject', Qin Yuan deceived the emperor for disloyalty and unrighteousness. If he is targeted by someone with a heart, he will become the common enemy of the world.

There are not a few people who want Qin Yuan to die.

In addition to those princes, there are those aristocratic families. These people still hold the greatest power and wealth in the entire Lie Han Dynasty.

One must know that the downfall of the Heavenly Dao Army and the incomparably powerful Nanjing King was caused by the direct and indirect handwriting of the aristocratic family.

It can be said that the aristocratic family is the middle-level pillar of the entire Liehan Dynasty. Without the support of the aristocratic family, the entire Liehan Dynasty may have collapsed long ago.

If they join forces, it will be enough to support a new dynasty.

If Qin Yuan had not come to this world, the demise of the Lie Han Dynasty and the establishment of a new dynasty would be inevitable.

Behind this new dynasty, there must be the joint support of multiple aristocratic families in order to successfully ascend to the throne.

Which of the princes who are now famous is not backed by a family.

Even Qin Yuan actually had the support of many families behind him. Qin Yuan's family, the Qin family, provided important resources for his rise, as well as two major families, the Zhuge family and the Zong family.

Without the support of the major families, it would be impossible for Qin Yuan to develop so fast.

After all, the system functions can at most quickly improve Qin Yuan's military power, but territory management, economic development, official governance, and logistical support all require various types of talents and a large number of resources. resources for normal development.

"Luodu can be captured, but it cannot be captured by our side."

Qin Yuan pondered for a while and said, "Inform Ma Feiteng that if you don't cooperate with the court, you just need to sit back and watch the tiger fight. You can even help the Tiandao army to capture Luodu and let the Liehan Dynasty rule. Really in name only.”

"My lord is wise."

Zhuge smiled silently, agreeing with Qin Yuan's opinion very much.

"The thirteen cities in Tianshan County are basically taken, and they can be completely mastered within five days at most, and the conquest will continue."

Reported by Zhuge Mohui. "The army began to march towards Iksan County, and it is expected to start a full-scale attack on Iksan County in ten days."

Iksan County is located in the center of Cheoncheon Iju.

Today, more than half of Tianchuan Yizhou's territory has fallen into Qin Yuan's hands.

And if you want to continue to capture Tianchuan Yizhou, Yishan County is an unavoidable and important strategic position.

If Yishan County is captured and Yizhou City is captured, then the next step will be much simpler, and the entire Tianchuan Yizhou will completely fall into Qin Yuan's hands.

"Then act according to the plan and pay attention to the movements in Yizhou City."

Qin Yuan said.

Although Tianchuan Yizhou fell to half of the counties and counties, the main force did not really confront Qin Yuan's army.

Wars are mostly small and medium-scale campaigns.

However, now that the moment of life and death in Tianchuan Yizhou has come, the Li family and the Zhang family will definitely not sit back and watch Qin Yuan's army push forward all the way.

This battle in Yishan County will be the final battle, which will determine the life and death of Tianchuan Yizhou.

It can be said that on the Yizhou side of Tianchuan, almost all the forces were mobilized and gathered in Yishan County to fight to the death with Qin Yuan's army.

If they win, they can stop the attack of Qin Yuan's army, defend the last place in Tianchuan Yizhou, and even have a chance to counterattack.

If they are defeated, the entire Tianchuan Yizhou will fall completely, and the Li family and Zhang family will never have a chance to rise again, and it will even lead to the demise of the entire family. At the same time, it will also cause drastic changes in the entire world structure.

Although Qin Yuan currently only occupies one Xiyong Liangzhou and regained the Northern Qiang clan, he has become the biggest imaginary enemy of all the princes.

It is conceivable that after Qin Yuan wins Tianchuan Yizhou, who else can be Qin Yuan's opponent.

Back then, King Nanjing, who only occupied the land of Jingzhou on the Nanjiang River, was attacked by many forces when he was about to seek hegemony.

After taking over the major cities in Tianshan County, the Killing God Army led by Bai Qi began to move towards the south, aiming directly at Yishan County, followed closely by the Qinglong Army.

The same is true for Meng Tian's Xuan Yong and Xuan Wu Legions.

Facing the menacing army of hundreds of thousands, the atmosphere of war reached its peak in an instant.

Zhou Mu Li Qian's reaction was also extremely quick.

As soon as he knew that Tianjiang Fortress had fallen, he dispatched a hundred thousand troops to garrison Jiuxia Peak.

Jiuxia Peak is an important channel connecting Tianshan County and Iksan County.

If you want to bypass Jiuxia Peak and enter Iksan County, you have to walk at least hundreds of kilometers, which consumes a lot of time and energy.

Therefore, Jiuxia Peak has become Iksan County’s last natural barrier.

And Li Qian seemed to have expected this step. As early as a few months ago, he began to build the fortress wall of Jiuxia Peak, and now he has completely built the canyon into an indestructible barrier.

With a hundred thousand troops guarding the Nine Gorges Peak, even if they face millions of enemy troops, they can take advantage of the geographical advantage to hold it.

But that is the general situation. Facing any prince in the Central Plains, Li Qian has the confidence to use the complex geographical advantages to hold on to Tianchuan and Yizhou.

However, what he was facing was Qin Yuan, who was known as the prince with the most elite in the entire Lie Han Dynasty.

Once the elite troops are released, they are invincible by nature.

What city walls, what fortresses, what natural dangers, in front of elite troops, can be easily pierced like a piece of paper.

When Bai Qi's army arrived, a small town less than thirty miles away from Jiuxia Peak had already been deserted.

Inside the city, it was empty and depressed.

Not a single soldier defending the city was seen, and less than one-tenth of the civilian population was left.

The rest of the people are almost all those who are unable to relocate.

Although Qin Yuan's army had an extremely high reputation in their own territory.

However, Tianchuan Yizhou carried out smear propaganda against Qin Yuan's reputation, calling him a brutal invader.

As ignorant lower-class people, they naturally had no ability to distinguish between true and false news. Therefore, under the spread of the news by the ruling officials, the soldiers guarding the city and most of the people had already evacuated the city.

When the mighty God-killing army entered the city, the only remaining people in the city lived in anxiety.

It wasn't until a day or two later that another Blue Dragon Legion arrived, but it did not harass any of the people in the city.

Even, if the people in the city have a food crisis, they can still get a lot of rice, which is enough for a family of five for half a month.

When a war breaks out, the worst is not the defeated party, but the unarmed people.

Especially before and after the war, the entire economy was in a period of shutdown. If there were people with stored food, they could survive for a period of time. If there was no stored food, then they would have starved to death if they hadn’t died in the hands of the enemy.

"The two ancestors left the mountain and went to the Central Plains to ask for help. Until they come back, they will have to rely on us to support them these days."

On the city wall of the Jiuxia Peak Fortress, Li Qian, who looked tired, said in a calm voice.

Looking into the distance, that small city with a resident population of less than [-].

Today, it has gathered an army of at least 30.

But within the Nine Gorges Peak, there are only [-] troops stationed there.

As for the rest of the army, they are arriving one after another.

Not only the army in Yizhou City, but also all the troops in the whole territory were mobilized to defend Jiuxia Peak with all their strength, putting all their eggs in one basket.

Yes, Li Qian never thought of placing the final occupation in Yizhou City, but on Jiuxia Peak.

The defense of Jiuxia Peak is almost the same as that of Yizhou City.

If even the Nine Gorges Peak could not withstand it, then the meaning of retreating to Yizhou City would no longer exist.

And if the defense is successful, everyone will be happy.

If it falls, it will take a certain amount of time for Qin Yuan's army to reach Yizhou City, enough for the Li family members to escape.

Not only the Li family thinks so, but the Zhang family and other big and small families also think so.

The war can be defeated, and the family inheritance cannot be cut off.

If the final battle is held in Yizhou City, the city will be surrounded, and if the battle is defeated, all the families in the city will suffer.

Therefore, after deep consideration, they left a way out.

"Hopefully."

Zhang Jingquan said with a serious face. "The enemy army will launch a general attack in five days at the earliest, and within ten days at the slowest. These five to ten days are enough for all our troops to mobilize to the Nine Gorges Peak."

"In addition to those elite troops, Qin Yuan still has 40 troops. Our final army should be around 60."

"60 vs. 40, plus the defense of Jiuxia Peak, there should be a lot of confidence."

"Of course, the premise is that Qin Yuan's elite troops don't take action."

"This can only rely on the ancestors."

"Yes, but you have to be careful these days."

Li Qian said.

"Be prepared for everything that needs to be prepared, but don't be overly nervous. Otherwise, the soldiers under your command will be in a state of exhaustion. When the day of the real war comes, they will lose their fighting spirit."

Zhang Jingquan squeezed out a smile. "It's actually very simple to know when the enemy will launch a general attack. You just need to watch Qin Yuan's every move."

"That's true. Once Qin Yuan arrives with his elite troops, it will be the moment of final decisive battle."

Li Qian thought about it, and felt that what Zhang Jingquan said was very reasonable.

Since it was the final decisive battle and Qin Yuan himself was on the conquest, Qin Yuan would never miss it when the great battle broke out.

In addition, in the several battles, Qin Yuan's elite were used as the vanguard, and only after the defense line was broken, other legions were allowed to attack.

This can be regarded as a combat habit of Qin Yuan's army.

Li Hongli is the innate patriarch behind the Li family.

Zhang Xuandao is the innate patriarch behind the Zhang family.

When the battle between Tianchuan and Yizhou was about to break out, the two left.

This time, they came to the Central Plains with a mission.

And, in the names of the two, the Taishan Conference was held.

The Taishan meeting is generally to discuss important events, and every meeting is related to the future of the whole world.

Once it is convened, all members of the Taishan Covenant, no matter what they have to do, will temporarily put it aside and go to participate in the Taishan Conference.

Almost all members of the Tarzan Covenant will participate.

However, this time, no one informed Qin Yuan and his subordinates Bai Qi and Meng Tian.

Even Li Shide did not receive relevant information.

Even though Qin Yuan was in the innate realm and joined the Taishan Covenant, he was excluded this time.

I know nothing about the so-called Taishan Debate.

When the news reached the hands of all the innate warriors in the Central Plains, all the innate ancestors who were in retreat came out one after another.

On the second day after the news was delivered, dozens of experts in the innate realm and the refining realm gathered on Mount Tai.

Each of them has a huge family power behind them.

It can be said that when these people gather, they can dominate the entire land of China.

If there is agreement, or even a single sentence, the whole world can be changed to a different emperor.

It's a pity that since the establishment of the Taishan Covenant, this loose organization has never seen unity and unity, and no one fights on the spot, which is considered very good.

"Now that everyone is here this time, I have already mentioned the matter in the letter, but I will not elaborate too much."

As the initiator, Li Hongli looked at everyone and said.

There were 36 people present, including him and Zhang Xuandao.

Thirty warriors with innate combat power, this power is enough to dominate this piece of world.

It can be said that they are the top people in the world.

Almost all of them are from the power of the aristocratic family, there are only a few casual cultivators, but the relationship with the aristocratic family is also very deep.

However, the entire Liehan Dynasty not only had so many talents, but this time, only these 36 people came.

As for those who didn't come, even if they joined the Taishan Covenant, they were excluded in disguise.

For example, Qin Yuan and others obviously did not put Qin Yuan in the same position in the eyes of the powerful family.

For example, the imperial court and the King of Nanjing were also not included in the invitation list.

The decline of the Liehan Dynasty this time has a lot to do with people like them. In order to destroy the Liehan Dynasty and support the princes they supported, they did not hesitate to let the world enter troubled times.

There is also the Tiandao Army, although when the Tiandao Army first started its army, many families had interests in the Tiandao Army.

However, with the strength of the Heavenly Dao Army, the Liehan Dynasty entered a state of complete decline, and many forces gave up cooperation with the Heavenly Dao Army and invested in their own families instead.

Now that the world has become like this, it is inseparable from these people.

If there are no accidents, the next new dynasty and the next emperor will be selected from the princes supported by them.

Just like playing a game of chess, these people are all chess players, and the side that wins in the end will win the world.

However, there was an accident on the way, someone broke in, directly overturned the chessboard, and threatened to overwhelm the world.

This person is naturally Qin Yuan.

Although Qin Yuan was born in the famous Qin family, he could not catch the eyes of these Taishan Covenant bosses.

But it is such a small person who has now become a major problem for all the princes.

"After all, Qin Yuan joined the Taishan Covenant and did not violate the rules. It is hard for us to attack him directly."

Someone said aloud.

"Qin Yuan didn't make a move, which is in line with the rules. However, you must have heard of the large number of elite troops in the Houtian realm under his command."

Li Hongli said to everyone.

When the others heard the words, they all nodded slightly.

Even the ancestors who have been in seclusion for a long time have learned about the changes in the world structure in recent years in these days.

Among them, Qin Yuan is like a rising star, rising strongly.

"I wonder if the princes and forces under your command have such a powerful elite army? If they encounter it, I wonder if they have the ability to defeat it."

Li Hongli raised a question.

As soon as these words came out, everyone looked at each other in blank dismay.

An elite team composed entirely of warriors from the acquired realm only needs 100 people, which is equivalent to the combat power of an innate warrior. I wonder if there is any army in the world that can compete with it?
Even if these people sitting here are one-on-one, they may not be able to beat them.

What's more, Qin Yuan has not only 100 people under his command, but thousands of people.
