"This is not the end, it's a new beginning!"
Chen Yuan looked solemn and said very seriously.
After killing Zhennan King Nangong Lie, Nanzhou has been almost pacified, and internal worries have been almost ignored, but external troubles are getting bigger and bigger. What Nangong Lie said before when he didn't want to die actually made sense.
Shoot the first bird!
This is absolutely a wise saying.
Although Chen Yuan was strong in the past and was feared by many forces, he was still restrained. But it is different now. Chen Yuan captured Nanzhou and half of the south was in his hands.
The gathered forces are even more powerful.
Naturally, he will be feared by more forces, and even join forces to deal with him. The first one is Xiang Qianqiu of Blood State. The other party will definitely wait for an opportunity to take action.
Therefore, Chen Yuan's current situation can be regarded as success but there is a crisis hidden within it.
Everyone nodded and did not refute.
Because, everyone can actually see this clearly.
"Headmaster Zhao, Lao Jiang, Brother Chu, Taoist Master Lingxu..." Chen Yuan glanced at them one by one.
"Please give the order, King Yan."
Taoist Lingxu slapped his head.
"Biyou Palace is located in the hinterland of Shuzhou in Nanzhou. There is no danger for the time being, but the threat from the south is too great and must be prevented. Please follow Chen to visit Zhennanguan."
"good."
"good."
"Can...."
"If Zhennan Pass is not broken, Nanzhou will have no worries. We can also free up our hands to prepare for the planning of Blood State. When the south is completely under control, it will be the time for the Northern Expedition."
"good...."
"Taoist Priest Qingxu, Master Xuyan, Taoist Friend Zhu Huai..."
"exist."
"Please give the order, King Yan."
"The 100,000 soldiers and horses I brought with me were divided into two, 60,000 went with me to Zhennan Pass, and the remaining 40,000 plus 50,000 Zhennan Army cavalry returned to Shuzhou.
A total of 100,000, Chen Bing Shu State's border was managed by Taoist Master Tianxu on my behalf. In addition, these stalls in the east valley were also handled by Taoist Friend Zhu Huai.
This king brings 100,000 troops to suppress Nanguan and 60,000 soldiers from Shuzhou, totaling 160,000, to send troops to suppress Nanguan. "
Chen Yuan arranged everything in an orderly manner.
The border of Nanzhou is important, but Shuzhou is also very important. He does not want to be able to counterattack Blood State and kill Xiang Qianqiu. He just wants Shuzhou not to be lost. When he gets the opportunity to survive the crisis of the monster clan in southern Xinjiang, he will Can return with the trend.
This was a decision he had made before the battle in the East Valley began. Everyone actually knew it in their minds. At this moment, they were just making arrangements.
Zhu Huai: "I obey my orders!"
False words: "The poor monk understands."
Qingxu: "I will obey my orders!"
Chen Yuan nodded, looked at the Zhennan Army below, and talked about the division of troops. The Zhennan Army surrendered, but after all, it was not the bottom line, and his trusted men must be used to fill the Zhennan Army.
As time goes by, you will be able to rest easy, lest you be incited to rebel directly.
"Commanders of the Zhennan Army, this time the Demon Saint from Southern Border has entered our realm and has a big plot. We must immediately return to Zhennan Pass to support Zhennan Pass to resist the demon tribe from moving north."
"As you command!"
"As you command!"
"Pass the military order from my king, all the Zhennan troops will follow me back to Zhennanguan Pass and run with all their strength. I, the king, will be waiting for you at Zhennanguan Pass!"
After saying that, Chen Yuan glanced at Jiang He and others, and said in a deep voice:
"Without further ado, let's go now!"
"good!"
"good!"
Although there has been no news from Moro about the demon clan heading north, he must rush over as quickly as possible to take over Zhennanguan Pass.
He won't allow any mistakes in the great situation he finally got!
...
...
The first group of people to go to Zhennanguan were only five people: Chen Yuan, Jiang He, Ling Xu, Zhao Danqing, and Ju Yu. They were galloping as fast as they could.
Chu Changfeng's mission was to integrate the 60,000 Shuzhou troops and the 100,000 Zhennan army on the way to Zhennanguan. It was both a rush and a training exercise.
Dongshan Valley is within the territory of Nanzhou, and the distance from Zhennanguan is actually very far. However, for Chen Yuan and others, it was not bad. At their speed, it took almost a day to cross it. After traveling most of Shuzhou, they arrived near Zhennanguan.
Although Nanzhou is the border, not all of it borders Southern Xinjiang. Part of it is Shuzhou, and a small part is Blood State. The rest are also surrounded by steep mountains and poisonous miasma everywhere.
There is no problem for a small-scale strong demon tribe to pass through these places, but if they lead a large army to go north, there is only one way to go through Zhennanguan.
It was a smooth road that could accommodate millions of monster soldiers passing through.
Ordinary strong men can indeed eliminate them at targeted locations, but it is impossible to capture Nanzhou because most of the elites gather at Zhennanguan.
If Zhennan Pass is not lost, the demon soldiers will be unable to go south.
Chen Yuan had once been curious about whether there was that kind of rare treasure that could accommodate hundreds of thousands of troops. If there was such a treasure, a direct surprise attack would definitely be able to win a battle.
Even if it's just a teleportation array, it's terrifying.
But Moro responded to Chen Yuan, saying that this kind of treasure is almost impossible to exist in the human world, because the earth immortal only condenses the blessed land, and over time, it merges with the heaven and earth to allow people to survive.
What he said is almost no less than a small world. Maybe the heavenly immortals can do it, but the demon clan definitely does not have that kind of power. Even whether the demon clan has earthly immortals is a matter of uncertainty.
As for the teleportation array, unless one has an extremely large Void Divine Stone, one can build a large array that can accommodate hundreds of thousands of people passing through. There have never been rumors about this kind of thing in the world.
When Chen Yuan was in Liangzhou, he was ordered by Wei Jinfeng to launch a surprise attack on the Northern Barbarians' grain and grass. That time, the space was unstable and not even Huayang Zhenren could pass through.
In the end, it was Chen Yuan and the Eighteen Iron Cavalry who successfully passed.
In fact, it is not advisable.
Therefore, Chen Yuan knew the importance of Zhennanguan.
If he was captured by the demon clan while he was on his way, Chen Yuan's initiative would directly become passive.
Zhennanguan is a pass, but it is also a big city, second only to Dacheng in Nanzhou City. If all the soldiers in it are included in the common people's family rolls, there are at least one million people.
On weekdays, it is naturally extremely lively.
Within the pass.
Chen Yuan and others stood on the top of a certain restaurant. The void trembled. Moro, dressed in white, slowly stepped out, chanted the Buddha's name, and looked around at several people.
"senior."
"Senior Moro..."
Zhao Danqing sensed the other party's ethereal aura, was startled, and then saluted:
"Zhao Danqing from Biyou Palace has met Senior Moro."
This was the first time he had met this person, but it was not the first time he had heard about it. As early as after the Battle of Purple Mountain, he knew that Chen Yuan had the support of immortals.
In fact, it was precisely because of this that he agreed to Chen Yuan's solicitation.
The reason for not taking the initiative is just to wait for the price.
After all, there is always a difference between active submission and passive invitation.
"I've met you all."
When Moro was not in his demonic form, he was always polite, and this time, he was no exception. He nodded slightly to everyone.
"Senior, how is the situation now?"
Chen Yuan went straight to the point without any ink.
"You just killed those demon saints. I'm afraid the demon clan only knows about it now and won't be able to react in a short time, but there is only so much time.
The poor monk can sense that there are no fewer than hundreds of monsters lurking everywhere in Zhennan Pass..."
Moro was secretly guarding Zhennang Pass. In the past few days, with his strength, he was able to find out everything clearly and told Chen Yuan and others in detail.
"In that case, we can't wait any longer."
Chen Yuan thought for a moment and then ordered:
"Old Jiang, go to the south gate, control everyone immediately, and show them the photo stone of Nangong Lie before he died. Make sure nothing is lost."
"good!"
Jiang He was always a ruthless person and didn't say much, so he just jumped away.
"Taoist Master Lingxu."
"Um?"
"You go to Prince Cheng's Mansion in Zhennan Pass and issue an order based on the palace's order. This is the Prince of Zhennan's order. They must be convinced. It is best not to cause too many casualties. Of course, if someone is still stubborn, then The entire clan must be put to death. In an emergency, extraordinary measures must be taken.”
"good."
Taoist Lingxu took the Zhennan King's order, nodded and left.
"Headmaster Zhao."
"exist."
"You and fellow Taoist Taoist leader Go to Beida camp immediately and use the shadow stones to suppress them. Anyone who refuses to obey can be killed. Even if they are killed, no one will be allowed to take the opportunity to cause trouble."
The orders Chen Yuan gave to Zhao Danqing and Ling Xu were all killing orders. There was no need to be merciful because their personalities were such that they might not be too ruthless.
Jiang He was different. Even if he didn't say anything, if someone dared to plot evil, the Immortal Killing Sword in his hand would silence all the grievances.
"good."
Zhao Danqing knew the importance and started to set off immediately without hesitation.
"Senior, just hide in secret for now. I'm going to South Camp."
Chen Yuan said in a condensed voice.
Before taking action against Nanzhou, he already had some understanding of the situation in Zhennan Pass. It was divided into two camps, the north and the south. Because the north camp was close to Nanzhou, it had fewer soldiers, usually about 70,000.
As for the South Camp, most of its responsibilities are to guard the demon clan in southern Xinjiang, and it usually has a standing army of nearly 200,000 people.
Of course, that was just before.
Even though the Zhennan Army secretly developed more troops than the Beiliang Army, it still did not exceed 400,000 troops. The cost of this was an astronomical figure.
Dongshan Valley Nangong Lie brought four military formations with a total of 200,000 troops, and more than half of them had been taken away.
Therefore, in the entire Nanzhou City, according to the situation detected by Moro, there are only more than 100,000 people, and the Beidaying currently has about 30,000 people.
There were more in South Daying, but not more than 100,000.
For Chen Yuan now, even if they form a military formation, he can still suppress them with a wave of his hand.
"good."
Moro nodded in agreement.
The reason why he has not shown his true form until now is to give the demon clan a surprise card to prevent the demon god from coming.
Now that Chen Yuan arrived in time, naturally he couldn't show up.
After arranging everything, Chen Yuan quickly rushed to the south camp. This time, he did not make any pretense or make a big scene, but directly suppressed the camp with his powerful momentum.
The voice echoed through the void:
"I, King Chen Yuan of Yan, and King Cheng Nangonglie are dead. When they were about to die, they entrusted Nanzhou to me. From now on, the Zhennan Army will be under my control.
Follow me to resist the demon clan from the southern border heading north. Anyone who doesn't follow will be considered a traitor and the whole clan will be killed! "
All the Zhennan soldiers in the South Camp raised their heads and looked into the void blankly, feeling that they had heard wrongly. Where was the camp's protective formation?
Why was it useless and someone broke in?
But before they could think about it, at this moment, in the entire Zhennanguan, magnificent sounds came from the four directions of the north and south, and Zhennanguan fell into silence.
"Enemy attack! Enemy attack! All troops, mount up and form formation!"
A Huayang general in the Zhennan Army shouted in a deep voice.
.....
.....
Chen Yuan's command troops were not very effective. Even if he took out the image stone, many generals present could not believe the fact that their prince had fallen.
These diehards who stayed behind chose to take revenge.
but....
Things were not what they thought. Even if they formed a military formation, they were vulnerable to Chen Yuan and were defeated in an instant.
Chen Yuan told them directly and clearly that with his strength, it would be easy to kill them, but he just didn't want them to die in the hands of the demon clan, but in the hands of his own people.
If he is really ignorant, he will not show mercy.
Some people were persuaded and said that they hoped to see Wang Ling and those former Zhennan soldiers for verification. They could temporarily obey Chen Yuan's orders during this period.
Chen Yuan agreed.
There were also people who always insisted on avenging Nangong Lie and did not want their foundation to be taken away by him. Chen Yuan appreciated and admired their loyalty, so he killed them.
All those who resist will be killed without mercy.
The same is true for Beida Camp, South City Gate, and Prince Cheng's Mansion including Nangong Lie. There are always people who are unwilling to surrender and choose to fight even though they know they will die.
To be honest, this kind of backbone is much stronger than that of martial arts warriors.
However, Chen Yuan still would not hold back.
He did not hope that if something went wrong, he could take control of Zhennanguan as soon as possible and take the initiative as soon as possible.
Under the iron-blooded methods of him, Jiang He and others, Zhennanguan was cleared in just half a day, and countless corpses were carried out for burial.
Of course, when he took action, the demon tribes in the city also rioted, hoping to take this opportunity to disrupt the place and create opportunities for the demon tribes.
Unfortunately, Chen Yuan knew their location in advance. After taking control of the Zhennan Army, his first order was to issue a monster-killing order to kill all the monsters in the city.
And their appearance almost announced that King Zhennan had really colluded with the demon clan. After all, without the order of King Zhennan, the demon clan would never be able to pass through the city gate array and enter the city.
This also made many people feel cold and disappointed with Nangong Lie.
You can die, but you can't collude with the demon clan. This is the belief passed down by their ancestors who have guarded the Central Plains for hundreds of years. Once shaken, they will lose their military morale.
Chen Yuan captured Zhennan Pass in the shortest time. At the same time, the news of the fall of Zhennan King, the destruction of the East Valley, and the death of all the demon saints were reported.
Along with various channels, it quickly spread in all directions.
For a moment, Nanzhou was silent, the rivers and lakes were shaken, and the world was horrified. The demon clan in southern Xinjiang... was also extremely angry because of this news! ! !
