388 Chapter 387-the death of fa Xiang

“General, the situation in Huaizhou is still not good.”

“That traitor Chen man’s whereabouts are unpredictable, but he has already appeared in Huaizhou many times. After general Bai and general Huang had suffered a loss, they were cautious and did not dare to attack rashly to avoid being tracked by Chen Man in the Wilderness. The two of them could only lead the majority and defend Luo Yang city, using Luo Yang’s grade 4 spirit vein and mountain-protecting formation to defend. As for exterminating the possessed, we can only send out a small group of troops to the outer perimeter.”

“Although this can protect the surroundings of the Holy sun, it is very ineffective against the spread of the demonic chaos. The possessed cultivator tried to attack Luo Yang a few times. Chen Man also sent his nascent soul avatar to test him. After failing a few times, he stopped. They surrounded him but did not attack him. Instead, they divided their forces to go around Luo Yang and continued to spread the demonic chaos Kasaya.”

there are not many problems around Luo Yang, but Huaizhou is still inevitably falling.

“Up till now, half of Xu Prefecture has fallen. With Marquis Xuanwu in charge of the capital, the North of the capital is safe for now. Our secret agents entered dizhou and reported that dizhou is gone, be it the government or the local cultivation families, small sects, or small organizations. Even mortals would not be able to see it. In other words, there were no living people in dizhou now. Huaizhou has fallen by half, Xuanji.”

“As for the possessed led by Chen Man, there’s no clear statement yet, but there should be at least 200000 of them.”

among them, there are hundreds of cultivators who are equivalent to initial enlightenment cultivators and above. There are more than ten golden core cultivators and three or four nascent soul cultivators.

“The Army of the Yan Kingdom has already crossed the line of defense of the great river. Half of Hezhou on the south bank of the great river has fallen. The Yan Kingdom Army should have already entered Yingzhou. From Yingzhou to Caizhou and then to Xuzhou, we no longer have any defensive means in the north of the country.”

“In the worst case scenario, the demons of xudu city might attack from the South while the Army of Yan Kingdom would be in the North.” historical

Listening to his subordinate’s report, the great general of Wei State, Xia Cang, was expressionless and silent.

The reporter raised his head and stole a glance at the general’s expression. He was conflicted.

After a few breaths, he gritted his teeth and said what was on his mind, ” general, please withdraw your troops. If this continues, even if we win against the Qi Kingdom, we will not be able to protect our country.

After he finished speaking, many of the Wei state’s officers who were also present at the meeting stood up and said to Xia Cang, ” “Great general, please withdraw your troops!”

Xia Cang’s eyes swept across the people below. He saw that many of them were sweating.

This was normal. He, Xia Cang, was the undefeatable God of War of the Wei Kingdom. He had accumulated a lot of power and prestige. In the Army, and even in the entire Wei Kingdom, he was the one who kept his word.

To be honest, these officers were all his confidants, and most of them had been promoted by him. Normally, no one would have imagined that such a situation would happen.

Of course, this was completely different from forcing him to abdicate. This was essentially a suggestion. Even if Xia Cang didn’t listen, this group of people wouldn’t do anything. When it was Time to Die for the general, they would still charge.

However, in most people’s eyes, it was truly a life-and-death crisis.

In the battle with the Qi Kingdom’s Army, they had the upper hand. If the battle continued for a long time, almost every cultivator of the Wei State believed that the final victory would be great Wei.

However, this victory was not something that could be achieved in the short term. The Qi Kingdom’s Army could be considered tough, and they would not be able to defeat them in a short time. The Dharma laksana of the Qi Kingdom, cui Qing, was a secretive man. If he couldn’t defeat Xia Cang, he wouldn’t fight him head-on. If you killed the cultivators of the Qi Kingdom, I would kill the cultivators of the Wei Kingdom. If you come to me by force, I will lead a team to find a spirit vein that is under the control of the Qi state and activate the great mountain-protecting formation.

The Qi state was also aware of the current situation. Although they were at a disadvantage on the battlefield, as long as they could hold on, the Wei State would be the first to collapse. Therefore, they were more determined than ever to fight. After all, the dawn of victory was right in front of them.

On the contrary, the Wei people were more anxious.

This was also the reason why so many people dared to break through general Xia Cang’s authority and speak up.

Seeing so many of his subordinates in such a state, Xia Cang sighed slightly.

They had either heard the previous reports and felt the same way, or they had already made connections in private. But in short, they had already clearly expressed their attitude.

“It’s not that I don’t want to retreat, but I can’t,” Xia Cang said slowly.

“Ten days ago, I already sent a Messenger to the Qi Army to make peace. I’ve offered all I could, but cui Qing still rejected me. ”

When the person below heard this, he couldn’t help but let out a resentful voice, ” “Qi people, you really don’t want to give up!”

But no one agreed.

Then what nonsense? The conflict between Qi and Wei was not something that happened overnight. They were enemies for generations! In the countless years of war, they had formed countless grudges, so how could they let go so easily?

Not to mention what the Qi state was thinking, wasn’t it the Wei people who started the war? In this battle, the people of Wei had gathered their Army. They were aiming to fight a war that would destroy their country.

“If we retreat, cui Qing will lead the Qi Army to hunt us down. In the process of retreating, who knows how many of our great Wei’s soldiers will be killed or injured.”

even if they don’t pursue us, and only slowly follow us from behind, gradually nibbling away from the East to the West, we may have to face a terrible situation in the future, where there are demons in front of us and the Qi Army behind us.

The people below only acknowledged and started to speak one after another.

It was not that there were no optimistic people, but as long as they were clear-headed, it was not difficult to see that in this war that had almost determined the fate of the great Wei, they had fallen into an extremely bad situation.

Suddenly, someone stood out and cupped his hands to Xia Cang, ” “Great general, I have an idea that might work.”

“Tell me.” Xia Cang’s expression did not change, but he already had a rough idea of what the other party was going to say.

The person who stood out was a peak nascent soul cultivator from great Wei, Marquis Weiwu Zhang Shichang. According to the intelligence reports from other countries, he might be the Dharma laksana hidden in the Wei Kingdom.

Of course, everyone now knew that the Dharma was Marquis Xuanwu, Zheng Yu, and not Zhang Shichang.

But no matter what, to be regarded as such, at least it proved that he did have something extraordinary. He was an old nascent soul realm cultivator and had been at the peak of the nascent soul realm for many years. In fact, if time dragged on further into the future, or if he was given some kind of opportunity, he might really be able to become a true Dharma adept.

“The Army is of course important in suppressing the demonic uprising, but what is more important is you, great general.”

“If you can return to the country and work with Marquis Xuanwu, you can head south and solve the demon uprising. As long as Chen Man is killed, the demonic chaos will be suppressed.”

as for me, I can pretend to be you on behalf of the great general and try my best to deceive cui Qing. I can at least buy some time.

“Before that, we can withdraw our troops first. If cui Qing is cautious and only follows behind at a moderate pace, then we can ignore them. If the Qi Army dares to give chase, great general, you can lead us in a counterattack before you leave. After suffering such a great loss, given cui Qing’s timid and cautious character, he would not dare to pursue you too closely unless he was sure that you were not in the Army.”

“And if we are discovered here, that’s all we can do. Try to get as many people from the Army to escape, as many as possible. I only hope that great general can solve the turmoil in the country. After a hundred years, when our great Wei recuperates, we will find the Qi Kingdom and take revenge for us!”

After saying that, Zhang Shichang knelt on the ground and kowtowed in the direction of xudu.

After Xia Cang heard this, he looked at the others below and asked, ” “You have the same idea?”

“For my great Wei, even if you have to die ten thousand times!”

“Then let’s do as you say.”

......

In the northern part of Wei Kingdom, in the Army of Yan Kingdom that continued to March South, Wei Yun’s temper had long disappeared.

Even though he did not want to admit it or speak to Lu Qing, he had to admit that what Lu Qing had said about leading the Army South was correct.

There was no other reason. Victory had come too easily.

...

After breaking through the defense line of the great river Kingdom, one of the nascent soul realm cultivators of the Wei Kingdom who was originally stationed at the defense line died, and two escaped. In the process of the Yan Kingdom’s Army going south, they almost did not encounter any effective resistance.

After the battle in Yingzhou, the Wei country started to organize a rebellion after entering Caizhou. First, the two nascent soul realm cultivators from the Wei Kingdom who had escaped earlier tried to make use of a grade four spirit vein’s Mountain-protecting formation to put up a stubborn resistance. However, under the combined attacks of Wei Yun and Lu Qing and the bombarding of the formation-breaking cannon, the mountain-protecting formation was on the verge of collapse, forcing the two of them to continue fleeing.

After that, they gradually formed a line of defense in Cai Zhou and prepared to fight them step by step.

However, all of this was in vain.

The Yan Army was still advancing triumphantly, forcing them back to Xu Province step by step. There was also accurate information that they had given up on the idea of resistance and had entered the Xu capital.

This also meant that when Great Yan moved South, they would take Hezhou, Yingzhou, and Caizhou.

What did the land of three states mean? There were only seven provinces in Great Yan, and the Xue province was only half a province at most. Although the land was vast, it was too barren.

On the other hand, Hezhou, Yingzhou, and Caizhou could be considered large provinces in the country of Yan, whether it was in terms of population, land, or resource production.

Especially Yingzhou, which was even more fertile than Jizhou. In the entire Yan country, only Wuzhou could be compared to it.

And now, these three states were all under the control of the Yan Kingdom.

If the Yan Kingdom could completely control this piece of land and digest it, the power of the great Yan Kingdom would probably increase by more than 60%!

...

This was a benefit that one could not control.

In fact, Wei Yun was already calculating in his heart whether or not the Yan Kingdom would have the ability to really take over this land after the war.

Lu Qing did not say anything about this.

If it was possible, he would not mind.

However, just as the higher-ups of Great Yan were daydreaming and leading their Army toward Xu Prefecture in the South, two pieces of news arrived almost at the same time.

The first one was rather surprising: The Wei Army in Xu capital moved out to the South. There weren’t many of them, but they were all elites.

Under the efforts of these people, the Wei Army recovered the fallen areas in the South of Xuzhou in a short time. Even if there were Yuanying-level devilized people among them, they were quickly eliminated without any resistance.

This troop did not stop. Instead, they charged into dizhou at an even faster speed.

The last news he received about this unit was that they were currently moving towards Hu Han County. From the looks of it, they were heading towards the ghost Face God Valley.

He was going to find trouble with Chen Man.

Lu Qing knew that Chen man’s real body was not there.

If it was just Zheng Yu, this guy probably wouldn’t have the guts. In fact, based on the information revealed in this piece of information, everyone had a more consistent guess that Xia Cang had most likely returned.

This was something that no one had expected.

A few days ago, the peace talks between the Wei and Qi Kingdom were not successful. However, the main forces of the Wei Kingdom had already retreated from the Qing and Xu prefectures. Cui Qing led the Army of Qi state and chased after them from behind. In the end, he was killed by Xia Cang’s team and suffered a great loss. Cui Qing himself had a face-to-face battle with Xia Cang, and he was defeated again, suffering some injuries.

However, he didn’t expect that Xia Cang would most likely return to xudu after such a short time.

From there, they could roughly analyze the Wei country’s strategy.

They were probably planning to quickly find Chen Man, kill him, and solve the biggest source of the demon Chaos. Then, they would retreat to the Qi and Yan kingdoms, and finally slowly deal with the huge wounds left by the demon Chaos in their own kingdoms.

It was obvious that even if this matter was carried out as planned by the Wei Kingdom, the Wei Kingdom’s vitality would be greatly damaged.

Moreover, it was hard to say if this would work out.

How could Chen Man be so easy to find?

It was another matter whether they would end the source of the demonic chaos first, or the Army of Yan would break into xudu first, or the Qi would attack from the East.

Six hours after the news reached the high-level officials of the Yan Army, another piece of news that was like an earthquake arrived from the East.

This piece of news was even more unbelievable.

Cui Qing was dead.

This news was too explosive.

The first reaction of many higher-ups in the country of Yan, including Lu Qing, was that there was an error in the information. This was fake news.

That was cui Qing, a Dharma plane expert who had been famous for hundreds of years. He was the National pillar of Da Qi and had the same status as Xia Cang in Wei State.

He died just like that?

Xia Cangdu had already returned to Xu City from the eastern Battlefront. Who could still threaten cui Qing? How did he die?
