As it turned out, the capture of Liaodong City was not the end of the war; rather, it was the beginning of another stage of continuous war. As the Lord of the Luo clan, who fled in the chaos, rushed to all directions and promised to benefit, the local feudal clans who had originally watched and sat back joined the war one after another.
As a mediator, the Xue family of the western Liao vassal found reasons and excuses; he assembled and divided the clans and vassals and sent tens of thousands of troops across the Liao River, the traditional boundary between eastern Liaoning and western Liaoning. Finally, troops were stationed in the west of Liaodong City, forming an outflanking trend with the local vassal army.
Therefore, the Haidong Army that captured the big city in Liaodong had not had time to properly repair and digest its gains in the local area; it had already become a comeback for the two major camps of the East and the West, surrounded by nearly 100,000 troops; to make matters worse, the people in the city were dissatisfied. .
Although the food and grass equipment used to defend the city were not in short supply in the short term, the constant riots and conflicts in the city gradually made the Haidong Army in the city tired of coping, and had to take more severe repressive measures to prevent These city residents should cooperate inside and outside.
"Xiaoyuanlian, what do you think of the current war situation?" In fact, after Jiang Tian listened to Xiaoyuanlian's detailed description, he raised a question: "What do you want to achieve in this war?" ; Or in other words, where is the bottom line of the lowest expectation?”
"Man'er, I do have some useless ideas, and I would like to ask our ancestors for advice..." The little round face responded respectfully: "According to your teachings, war is the continuation of politics; the rise of Haidong has led to the rise of the whole country. It is also to ensure that the enemy is protected from the outside."
"Now that I think about it, since the Battle of Diaobi City, the army has become more arrogant and underestimated the enemy, which has deviated from the original intention." The little round face seriously reflected on himself: "Since then, although I have heard good news many times, it has gradually faded away. The spirit of expelling foreign enemies and regaining the country."
"After that, as I defeated more and more enemies, I became more and more interested in Shu, eager for more military achievements, and even ceded territory to pay compensation; but the good luck of the time, place, and people changed my position. Therefore, when the troops came to Liaodong City, including me, The whole army is already riding a tiger and it is difficult to get off."
"It can be said that war is unpredictable, but I feel relieved that you can have this kind of awareness." After listening to her analysis, Jiang Tian nodded and affirmed: "The next question is how much power can you still control? , and what kind of result do you want to achieve.”
"Forefather, there are more than 30,000 soldiers in the city. Among them, there are more than 10,000 soldiers in front of the palace, on the left of the palace, on the right of the palace, as well as the Zhongyong Army and the Yiwu Army. They are all veterans of Xingtai." Hearing this sentence, the little round-faced man Feeling relieved, he relaxed and said, "The other thing is to recruit soldiers from various vassals."
"These include seven old vassals in the north, eleven new vassals in the south, as well as Alu Mansion and Nanhai Mansion outside the country. There are four to five thousand local tribesmen and Turkish troops who have surrendered. It's hard to say what each family in the north is. , when at least the newly sealed eleven southern families can still be used."
"Then you can decisively stop your losses. The power that the enemy currently cannot control will become a major hidden danger sooner or later." Jiang Tian confirmed: "Although my time on earth is limited, I can still create an opportunity for you to break the situation. , it depends on how far you want to go?"

"Man'er, please follow the teachings of our ancestors!" Xiao Yuanlian said with determination: "But for tens of thousands of soldiers being trapped in enemy territory, Man'er cannot escape the blame; because we have all misjudged the Luo clan in Liaodong. , the determination and long-term foundation of sharing the same hatred with foreign countries and fighting to the end."
"Even if we defeat more enemies and occupy more places, what will it do to the Haidong mainland? Therefore, what Man'er wants right now is just to allow the remaining Haidong soldiers to escape unscathed and return to their homeland safely. That’s all. The rest is just as per the ancestor’s orders!”
"Okay, if you have this kind of determination and awareness, the next thing will be easier to handle." Jiang Tian said with approval: "In fact, if you are not willing to give up the results and benefits, and are not willing to give up fighting to win again, It’s a fluke, then I can only take extraordinary measures.”
"I know that my ancestor cares about Man'er the most." However, the little round-faced man smiled brightly when he heard this, and he couldn't hide his joy. He said in a childlike manner: "Can you let Man'er build a high platform in the city and select people?" Suitable sacrifices for the great ceremony of sacrifice.”
"No need! Strictly speaking, this place has no cause and effect for me. Even if I reluctantly offer sacrifices, it will be in vain." Jiang Tian shook his head and said: "It is necessary to show it in front of your subordinates and subordinates. , thinking that it is to inspire and unite people’s hearts.”
Therefore, many officers and soldiers of the Haidong Army who were subsequently summoned gathered around a temporary high platform and looked at the young princess in a long dress. After a decent prayer ceremony, dry food suddenly fell like rain. and cans piled into a hill.
Seeing this miraculous scene again, they, who were originally demoralized and low, couldn't help but cheered with great spirits; because this seemed to mean that the true ancestor with great supernatural powers was still watching over heaven. And pay attention to Haidong Office.
For a time, the morale of Haidong's officers and soldiers was soaring, as well as other troops who were frightened by this miracle and knelt down to beg and pray. After a little encouragement and team formation, they opened their doors one after another. The city gate turned into a torrent of counterattacks.
The coalition forces of the Liaodong princes/vassals who had set up camp outside the city were almost caught off guard; these Haidong soldiers with high morale, regardless of their own safety or risking their lives, broke through one after another of the fortresses and defense lines; Eventually it turned into a massive collapse.
Although, due to the containment and threat of the Liaoxi vassal army headed by Xue in the west of the city, the Haidong Army did not pursue further. However, it was not until the remaining remnants of the Liaodong Allied Forces regrouped in the new city more than 20 miles away that a more serious matter was discovered.
Because, all the leaders of the coalition forces, including the Lord of the Luo clan, disappeared in this sudden rout. The next day, when the noisy subordinates and generals almost turned into a conflagration and internal strife, they received news again.
This time, it was the Haidong Army envoys who came to negotiate, accompanied by Xue from Liaoxi, and brought them a surprising news. The Lord of the Luo clan and other princes who were missing in the battle are now under the control of the Haidong Army and have become bargaining chips.

At this time, although there are still people clamoring and advocating hard, they must not compromise or give in. They must insist on continuing to fight regardless of the cost; in order to ensure the safety and stability of their respective family heads. However, others soon joined forces to suppress and suppress it.
Later, as the second son of the current lord of the Luo clan and a direct descendant of the family who was ordered to stay behind, he was elected as the temporary leader by these ministers and generals who had their own thoughts. They began to try to negotiate with the Haidong Army, which had already changed positions in Liaodong City.
Then, they also received another even more shocking news. Just last night, a hair-raising accident occurred among the Liaoxi vassal army, which had been standing still and watching from the sidelines. Leader Xue, who was convening the feudal lords to discuss countermeasures, also disappeared.
Afterwards, these generals and retainers who were in an uproar and frightened like headless flies, digging around and searching everywhere, received the messages and personal tokens sent from Haidong City. As their head of family, they had been quietly invited to the city as guests that night.
Therefore, when things have reached this point, there are not many people in the two camps who are leaderless who are willing to fight anymore. Instead, we must be vigilant and alert. The Haidong Army in the city uses their feudal lord and clan leader as a huge threat to fragmentation, disintegration, and even subsequent counterattacks.
So it was just the third day. As the temporary leader of the Liaodong Allied Forces, the second son of the Luo clan lord agreed without hesitation, including a package of conditions including the current lord abdicating his throne for retirement, paying compensation in installments with materials, and ceding the area south of Jian'an Prefecture.
Then, without hesitation, he succeeded him as the new clan leader and lord in the army under the witness of his retainers and generals; and he investigated and severely punished a number of former lords for reasons such as incompetence, dereliction of duty, and cowardice. A close confidant, he can be called a model of fatherly kindness and filial piety.
And when the situation has developed to this point, there is no need for Jiang Tian to do more; as long as the little round face who is initiating internal purges and liquidations and the subordinates around him are not too stupid; with a large amount of vested wealth, It’s just around the corner that all the benefits are gone.
Therefore, after Jiang Tian refused the invitation for the subsequent sacrificial ceremony and "reluctantly" accepted the supplies from Haidong's office, he once again activated the "jump module" that had completed cooling. Disappeared in this transit time and space...
I don’t know how long it took, in a sense of dislocation as if I was thrown into the whirlpool of a hurricane, or experienced the cleansing of a huge drum centrifuge; crushed into countless dust, and then reunited again; Jiang Tian I saw the bright moon and sparse stars again.
The narrow and dangerous mountains, the dark and dense forests, and the air with the moist and earthy smell of night dew; under the moonlight, several mountain springs are like silk jackets, flying down from the towering cliffs, flowing water The gurgling reflection reflects the faint reflection of animal eyes peering into the darkness near and far.
Jiang Tian then checked his own interface, and immediately discovered that the three modes of "Guidance", "Endurance" and "Field" and the two modules of "Transition" and "Dimensional Bubble" were originally in a dark state, as well as " "Micro" and "Zoom in" options. All have returned to normal.

This made him breathe a sigh of relief. However, the more than 30 units of energy accumulated by hunting down aliens and individual special persons through various means in the medieval Kingdom of Zealand were almost exhausted in these two short jumps. .
In addition, the additional function option under the transition module, the newly appeared "Space-time Hole No. 2", has also fallen into an unusable gray color. If Jiang Tian tries to trigger it with his mind, he will only get "Insufficient Energy". "Time and space synchronized stagnation" corresponding prompt.
The next moment, roars and roars came from not far away, followed by the sound of chasing and collision as the vegetation overturned and torn, and they quickly approached Jiang Tian. Then Wuxia fell roaring down from the cliff above his head...
