The chariot formation tore through the dark cloud formation like a whirlwind, and Xiong Zhitong also realized that something was wrong. If the chariot formation was not broken, the Chu army's formation would be disrupted sooner or later.
Whether it is the Chexuan Formation or the Dark Cloud Formation, both formations require extremely high coordination from the soldiers. If there is confusion, it may lead to a complete defeat!
"Commanders, charge with me!" Xiong Zhitong led his overlord army to try to tear a hole in the Che Xuan Formation.
"Kill!" The Overlord Army was brave and fearless, following Xiong Zhitong to kill into the center of the whirlwind.
The cavalry clashed, and the Chexuan Formation was indeed torn apart. Xiong Zhitong even reached the center of the formation by himself.
The heavy infantry and archers formed a formation within a formation, gathering their spiritual power to form twelve golden phantoms of Six Ding and Six Armor to fight Xiong Zhitong.
Xiong Zhitong fought one against twelve and never lost!
However, the car hanging formation she had just torn apart quickly closed up and took shape again as the soldiers moved.
Xiong Zhitong saw that the situation was not good, turned around and killed him.
Although she is at the pinnacle of the Holy Realm, she cannot defeat hundreds of thousands of well-trained soldiers by herself, not to mention that these soldiers are not ordinary people, and each of them has their own cultivation level.
Xiong Zhitong couldn't tear it apart the first time, so he tried two more times.
By the third time, she did it!
Zhang Beichen was watching the battle from a high place, and saw Xiong Zhitong and her Overlord Army tearing apart the whirlwind like thunder, forcibly splitting the car formation in half!
"Teared apart!" Xiong Zhitong was delighted. The enemy's formation was about to be broken, right?
However, after only a moment, she frowned again, because the soldiers who were separated into two sides not only did not collapse, but quickly merged and formed a formation again.
"It's him!" Xiong Zhitong looked in the direction of Zhang Beichen and saw a military formation diagram emerging behind Zhang Beichen. There was spiritual power flowing on the formation diagram, and each spiritual power was pulling a soldier on the battlefield!
"Military Saint! Military Formation Diagram!" Xiong Zhitong secretly exclaimed that Zhang Beichen was using the cultivation of the Military Saint to guide every soldier.
In this way, soldiers will not easily feel scared, panic, or be disorganized because they cannot distinguish the chaotic battlefield situation.
"This kid is so terrifying!" Fan Lue also saw Zhang Beichen's movements.
He is also a military saint and can also use military formation diagrams to lead soldiers, but he cannot lead hundreds of thousands of soldiers at a time. One hundred thousand is already his limit!
"This requires extremely powerful spiritual consciousness! He not only has military skills, but also has the blessings of other holy realms." Fan Lue realized that Zhang Beichen was not a saint in a single way. He might have been a military strategist and a magician during his reform in Yan State. The family has double holy status, so the spiritual consciousness is much stronger than mine.
However, he still underestimated Zhang Beichen. Although Zhang Beichen was only in the early stage of the Saint Realm, he was a trinity, possessing the three holy ranks of military strategist, legalist, and Confucianist.
His Mohist, Farmer, and other cultivations are also on the edge of the Holy Realm, while other medical families, Yin-Yang Family, and other cultivations are slightly weaker.
Under the guidance of Zhang Beichen, the Chexuan Formation showed its power again. It collided wantonly in the dark cloud formation, and wherever it went, the Chu army was defeated.
Xiong Zhitong wanted to behead Zhang Beichen and killed him directly.
She flew in the air and went straight to kill Zhang Beichen.
Zhang Beichen had already taken precautions. A group of soldiers formed a formation to stop Xiong Zhitong. They only defended but did not attack, leaving Xiong Zhitong unable to break through for a while.
"Your Majesty!" Fan Lue sent a message to Xiong Zhitong and said, "Our formation has been chaotic and our soldiers' fighting spirit has diminished. Today is not a good time to fight again!"
Xiong Zhitong observed the battlefield and found that this was indeed the case.
In the past, she would definitely fight to the end, but today she was not impulsive, but said: "Forget it, withdraw your troops and fight again tomorrow!"
"Retreat!" Fan Lue asked people to beat the war drums, and the Chu army began to withdraw.
"Hunt!" Zhang Beichen naturally refused to miss this opportunity.
The Chu army retreated while fighting and lost some troops. However, with Xiong Zhitong's presence, these casualties were not serious, and the Chu army still retained sufficient strength.
Soon, the Yan army had pursued for more than ten miles.
"Still pursuing?" Fan Lue realized something was wrong, "If we continue to pursue, we will reach our camp. The Yan army will inevitably be ambushed."
"Zhang Beichen is not a simple person, and he will definitely not be so impulsive."
"There must be something wrong!"
Just as Fan Lue was about to send someone to investigate the situation, a scout came to report: "Sir, we found an army more than ten miles behind our army and are rushing towards us!"
"What? Where did the army come from?" Fan Lue was shocked. They had been paying attention to the movements of the Yan army, and basically all the capable warriors from the Yan country had been sent over.
These people are definitely not from Yan State.
"No! It's the Wei army!" Fan Lue said hurriedly to Xiong Zhitong, "The Wei army pretended to attack Ying City, but in fact the main force bypassed Ying City to join the Yan army and ambush us here!"
"Kill!" Xiong Zhitong knew that his retreat was blocked, so he simply led his troops to fight out.
Soon, hundreds of thousands of Wei troops led by Pang Ming came from the rear and attacked the Chu army in tandem with the Yan army.
Xiong Zhitong aimed her main attack at the Wei army. She knew that the Yan army, with Zhang Beichen, would definitely be able to stop her.
[The King of Chu led the Overlord Army to charge in the direction of the Wei Army. The Overlord Army clashed with the Wei soldiers. The Wei soldiers resisted with difficulty, but the King of Chu still managed to break out! 】
Pang Ming's face was ugly, and he was extremely conceited. If Zhang Beichen could block the Chu army, but he couldn't, wouldn't it mean that he was inferior to Zhang Beichen?
"Kill, kill as many as you can!" Pang Ming gritted his teeth.
"Yes!" The Wei army continued to pursue the Chu army.
Zhang Beichen also sent cavalry to pursue him.
[The Wei and Yan armies pursued the Chu army for more than a hundred miles, killed more than 100,000 people, and captured tens of thousands of Chu soldiers. The king of Chu fled back to Yingcheng with one hundred thousand remaining soldiers. 】
"Chu Kingdom, the situation is over!" Although he did not kill the King of Chu this time, Zhang Beichen knew very well that with the remaining strength of the King of Chu, he could not do anything big.
He joined forces with Pang Ming and continued to rush to Yingcheng.
[The Wei army combined more than 500,000 troops and surrounded Yingcheng, the capital of the Chu state. 】
[After three months of siege, Ying City ran out of ammunition and food, and the soldiers mutinied. The king of Chu suppressed the rebellious soldiers. 】
Under the city wall, Pang Ming called to the King of Chu: "King Chu, you have no way out. Why not surrender to our Kingdom of Wei? The King of Wei has already promised that he will still treat you as the king of the vassals!"
Xiong Zhitong ignored him and said, "Where is Zhang Beichen? Let him talk to me!"
"It's Zhang Beichen again!" Pang Ming held back his anger. When they joined forces, he wanted to seize the command, but the King of Wei actually sent an order to him to listen to Zhang Beichen.
Pang Ming was extremely depressed. He was the general of the Wei State. Why did the King of Wei turn to outsiders?
Also, King Chu only talks to Zhang Beichen. Is it because he is a pretty boy?
When Zhang Beichen saw Xiong Zhitong, he thought Xiong Zhitong was going to challenge him to a duel, but who knew that Xiong Zhitong actually said: "I can surrender."
"Yes?" This time it was Zhang Beichen's turn to be surprised. After so many simulations, King Chu had never surrendered! This time why.
"King Chu really wants to surrender?" Zhang Beichen asked doubtfully.
"Yes." Xiong Zhitong said calmly, "The fall of the Chu Kingdom is a foregone conclusion, but I don't want to die here. After so many times, I have never truly understood the imperial realm."
"I want to leave here and devote myself to practice."
"Of course it's okay!" Zhang Beichen said. Xiong Zhitong was at the pinnacle of the Holy Realm. If he wanted to leave, he would have left long ago. Tell Zhang Beichen now, just tell him that the King of Chu will not recruit troops to go against him again.
"Zhang Beichen, are you crazy?" Pang Ming scolded, "We are about to win, how can we let King Chu go? If she comes back in the future, you and I will be derelict in our duties!"
"I am responsible for this matter alone. I am the commander-in-chief of the coalition forces. If King Wei asks, General Pang only needs to say that it is my responsibility." Zhang Beichen said calmly.
"Zhang Beichen, you don't understand the principle of cutting the grass without eradicating the root, and the spring breeze will bring new growth. You are not worthy of commanding the coalition forces!" Pang Ming pointed at him and cursed.
Zhang Beichen didn't care, he asked someone to open a way for Xiong Zhitong to leave.
The other Chu troops naturally surrendered to both countries.
The next step is to divide the land with Wei State. Zhang Beichen handed over this task to the civil servants of Yan State and led his troops back to Yan State.
[After King Chu left, there was no news. It is said that someone once saw her in Shiwanda Mountain in Nanman. 】
[Wei and Yan divided the land of Chu, and the world was divided into two. 】
…
In Jicheng, Zhang Beichen reported the matter to Yan Qingwu.
"As long as she doesn't interfere with this king, what's the point of letting her go?" Yan Qingwu did not blame Zhang Beichen.
Zhang Beichen looked at Yan Qingwu. Yan Qingwu had become a wife, but she still looked the same as before, looking so playful and cute.
He stepped forward and took Yan Qingwu's hand, and asked with a smile: "Your Majesty, do you want to be your husband?"
"What are you doing?" Yan Qingwu's face turned red. She still wasn't used to this situation.
"I still have some private matters to report to the king!"
"No, it's still daytime!"
Yan Qingwu's exclamation had no effect, and it was not until noon the next day that Zhang Beichen returned home from the Yan Palace.
When I got home, I had to comfort Hao Ziyi.
In addition, Zhao Yun was waiting for him at his house.
Zhang Beichen couldn't help feeling that this day was too tiring, but fortunately these women were restrained. If Wei Yao is added, he can be squeezed dry immediately.
…
[Wei and Yan entered a period of development. The two countries recruited talented people, developed agriculture and handicrafts, and trained soldiers. 】
[The Xiongnu in the north became increasingly powerful, and the Xiongnu Chanyu pretended to be emperor and called himself the Great Chanyu. He began to covet the territory of the Central Plains and the former Donghu, and frequently sent troops to invade. 】
[In order to resist the Xiongnu, Yan and Wei built the Great Wall in the north and established northern counties to defend against the Xiongnu. 】
Both countries have experience in resisting the Huns, so although the Huns developed quickly in this game, they were blocked.
Ten years have passed.
Yan and Wei have always been in peace with each other. Both countries know that petty fights will not work unless one is ready to completely destroy the other.
At this time, a new news came.
[The Nanman holy temple was attacked, many Nanman masters died in battle, and the Nanman countries fell into chaos. It is said that the person responsible was a mysterious woman with unparalleled power. 】
"It must be the King of Chu!" Zhang Beichen could only think of Xiong Zhitong after seeing the information. Anyone with such strength, besides the King of Chu, is the spokesperson of those gods.
But according to Zhang Beichen's experience, the spokesperson of the gods cannot suddenly become strong, and must rely on enough power of faith.
For example, Maotai, the spokesperson of the Beast God, only became stronger after unifying the Huns. In one simulation, the Southern Barbarian Witch Gods and Gu Gods stole enough power in the Central Plains to cultivate spokespersons for the Imperial Realm.
During this period, the Southern Barbarian countries were still very weak, and they probably had not yet been able to produce such strong people.
"Since Xiong Zhitong has solved the biggest danger of the Southern Barbarians, why not send troops to conquer the Southern Barbarians directly?"
[You write to King Yan, requesting to send troops to the Southern Barbarians. 】
[The King of Yan appointed Qing Bai as a general and led an army of 300,000 to attack the Southern Barbarians. 】
Qing Bai is now at the ninth realm. If it were the previous Nanman, his ability would not be enough to capture it. However, the current Nanman was seriously injured by the King of Chu, and Qing Bai faced much less resistance.
[Three years later, Qing Bai pacified the south. King Yan established three southern counties in the south and ordered Qing Bai to guard the south. 】
…
"It's time to prepare to complete the final cause of unification!"
Now the only one standing in front of the Yan State is the Wei State.
The current state of Wei is also full of talents and prosperous.
Zhang Beichen was not sure about attacking normally, so he could only think of other tricks.
At this time, Yan's handicraft industry was very developed, and porcelain, cloth and silk had even begun to be exported to the Western Regions. Iron forging, salt industry, fishery, etc. also lead the world.
Zhang Beichen established the Municipal Shipping Department to manage merchants and markets. Under such management, Yan's business developed unprecedentedly.
[You lowered the tariff on exports of Wei’s goods, and at the same time increased the tariffs on imports of Wei’s goods. 】
[One year after the policy was implemented, Yan's commodity exports to Wei increased significantly, while Wei's commodity exports to Yan decreased significantly, and Wei began to become a dumping ground for Yan's commercial products. 】
[The State of Wei adjusted its national policy and also increased taxes on Yan's goods. 】
Wei Yao had a long memory this time and knew that Zhang Beichen had used food war to destroy Wei State, so the policy adjustment was timely.
But she didn't expect that the gap in productivity was the key!
With Wei's looms, one person was as efficient as a hundred people. Zhang Beichen invented the textile machine and took strict measures to prevent its spread.
This thing is now similar to Zhang Beichen's original photolithography machine, it is cutting-edge technology!
In addition to this, there are also leading technologies such as pottery firing, coarse salt purification, metal smelting, pottery firing and so on.
Even if the Wei State raises tariffs on Yan State's imported goods, it will not stop the Wei State from producing goods more efficiently, with lower costs, and making things more attractive and useful. Wei's goods are still not competitive.
Wei Yao wanted to change this situation, but no one understood these technologies at all. You might be able to steal one or two things through spies, but it won't change the overall situation.
[Five years later, Wei's handicraft industry further declined. In order to exchange for enough goods, Wei people had to engage in agricultural production in large quantities. 】
Wei Yao originally thought that the more people in his country were engaged in agriculture, the more prosperous the country would be. However, she soon discovered that was not the case.
The land was in the hands of the nobles. The nobles received the grain and did not distribute it to the farmers. Instead, they exported it to the Yan State in exchange for Yan State commodities.
The farmers in the country were still starving, and because of the strength of the Yan State, the Wei State began to experience population exodus. Many people from the Wei State smuggled to the Yan State, and the Yan State accepted all who came.
