Take the earth to enshrine the gods

Chapter 233 The Zongmen Dynasty Can Coexist

Chu Wang Ganke's complaint was actually unfair.

Although Wei Wang Gantai agreed with Qian Yuan and the armies of both sides maintained sufficient restraint at the border, the First Army still held back the First Division of the Southwest Corps.

Otherwise, Nanyu City will undoubtedly be destroyed.

"Sir, what should we do now, withdraw the troops?" The Southwest Corps had a bad reputation, and King Ganke of Chu really didn't have much confidence in the third division stationed there.

Nanyu City is his lair, once it falls, the fun will be great.

Jia Xu said: "Our army has already reached the city of Kunwu. If we withdraw now, all the previous achievements will be in vain, and all the sacrifices will be in vain."

"How can I care about this now, let's keep the old nest first." Chu Wang was a little anxious.

"Old Nest?" Jia Xu's mouth flickered with a hint of teasing, "Is Your Highness planning to stay in the southern region for the rest of his life? His Highness's old nest should not be in Nanyu City, but the capital of God."

"Sir is joking."

King Chu's expression was a little gloomy, and his eyebrows were on fire right now. What's the point of saying this?He really wanted to enter the capital of the gods, but could he have it just by thinking about it? !
Losing Nanyu City, I am afraid that I will lose the right to even think about it.

Jia Xu was unmoved, and said: "Your Highness, the battle for the heir apparent is like sailing against the current. If you don't advance, you will retreat. If you want to succeed, then you shouldn't be greedy for the gains and losses of a city or a place. Instead of withdrawing troops in embarrassment and losing your success, it is better to leave the army behind." They will die and live later, regardless of everything, to take down Kunwu City first."

"What's the use of that?"

The king of Chu was so clear-headed as never before, "Even if the city of Kunwu is captured, there will still be a fierce battle when the imperial army overwhelms the border. By then, the entire Nanyu County may be gone, so why fight the imperial court?"

Jia Xu said, "What if this vicious battle can be avoided?"

The King of Chu's eyes lit up, "What's the best plan, sir?"

Jia Xu said: "Hasn't Your Highness ever thought of wooing the Kunlun faction instead of fighting to the death with them?"

"What do you mean?" King Chu was puzzled.

Jia Xu said: "The imperial court can win over the Zixiao Sword Sect, why can't Your Highness? The Kunlun Sect is in a desperate situation right now, if His Highness can extend an olive branch at this time, is there any reason for the Kunlun Sect not to agree? The Kunlun faction not only has Kunwu city at your fingertips, but also the Kunwu army will be in His Highness' pocket. At that time, do you still have to worry about the imperial army?"

"This……"

Chu Wang Ganke really didn't expect such an operation to be possible.

"This, can it work?" King Chu still didn't believe it, but his tone was filled with excitement, like a person who was covered by the night and suddenly saw the dawn of victory.

"If Your Highness allows you, I would like to go to the city in person to contact the Kunlun Sect." Jia Xu took the initiative to ask for help, appearing very confident.

"Then there will be Mr. Lao." The king of Chu naturally agreed, and then said: "Nanyu County, what else do you need to arrange?"

Jia Xu said: "Although the Southwest Corps is powerful, Nanyu City is the largest city in the southern border. There is a strong city to defend, but it only faces twice as many enemies. If you want to come to the Third Division to defend for more than a week, it should be no problem."

The King of Chu nodded, obviously approving Jia Xu's judgment.

The soldiers of the Southwest Corps are also human beings, and they don't have three heads and six arms. The city of Nanyu lying in front of them will be an insurmountable moat.

…………

September [-], cloudy.

On this day, Xue Rengui led his troops to conquer two county towns, and finally led his troops to the outside of Nanyu City.

As Jia Xu said.

As the central city of the southern region, the majesty and magnificence of Nanyu City can only be surpassed by that of Swagger City. Among other things, it is not easy to protect the city with its large formation.

For the Southwest Corps, the only good news is that in order to conquer the defense of Kunwu City, King Ganke of Chu took away most of the senior monks.

Let the Nanyu City's moat array be greatly reduced.

However, there is another big advantage in Xue Rengui's army. In addition to Xu Fu, who is also the army mage of the Southwest Corps, there is also a great monk in the spirit stage-Yu Ji.

This was specially recruited by Qian Yuan for this war.

With the accelerated recovery of spiritual energy and the advent of troubled times, the great cultivator of the soul stage who rarely showed up in the past has now become a bright card in the hands of various forces.

As a vassal, one cannot even protect his own safety if he is not accompanied by a great cultivator of the Soul Stage.Therefore, Zuo Ci did not participate in this battle of the Eastern Expedition, and stayed by Qianyuan's side to listen to him.

In this way, with Xu Fu alone, it would be too difficult to break through the defensive formation of Nanyu City.

Only then did Yu Ji appear.

Yu Ji, one of the representative figures of Huang Laodao in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, passed on the "Taiping Jing", a master of talisman making, and was killed by Sun Ce in history.

Being able to summon Yu Ji was another big surprise for Qian Yuan.

Following Ge Hong's alchemy master and Zuo Ci's formation master, the fiefdom has also won a talisman making master, and the four masters can be assembled with only one item of crafting.

After the army set up camp, Xue Rengui discussed breaking the formation with Xu Fu, Yu Ji and Li Chunfeng in the big tent of the Chinese army.

Xue Rengui knew very well that the opportunity to attack Nanyu City was fleeting, and he had to break through the city first before the reinforcements from the Fourth Army arrived.

Otherwise, he could only lead his troops to leave Nanyu County in despair.

Therefore, there is no room for neglect.

For the next three days, Xu Fu, Yu Ji, and Li Chunfeng sacrificed their natal artifacts and bombarded the formation protecting the city in an attempt to forcefully break the formation.

Under the attack of the two great monks of the Soul Stage, Nanyu City's city defense formation was already crumbling because there were not enough senior monks to preside over it.

Breaking the formation is only a matter of time.

This made the defenders and the people of Nanyu City tremble with fear, and the major families in the city also had different thoughts. Under the surging undercurrent, all kinds of ghosts and snake gods showed their magical powers.

What worries them most is that there has been no news of reinforcements so far.

"Could it be that His Royal Highness the King of Chu has given up Nanyu City?" This is the question on everyone's mind.

The morale of the army is floating.

…………

At the same time, Kunwu City.

Jia Xu, as the special envoy of the King of Chu, was able to enter Kunwu City and have a secret talk with Chihu Zhenren, the head teacher of the Kunlun School.

Just as Jia Xu expected, the Kunlun faction at this time had fallen into a desperate situation, and showed great interest in the olive branch thrown by the King of Chu.

Under Jia Xu's deliberate guidance, the two sides quickly negotiated.

Chihu Master's request is very simple. One is to designate Kunwu Mountain and its surrounding area as a forbidden area for the Kunlun sect, and no one is allowed to trespass without any reason.

Second, the Chu Palace will provide Kunlun School with a sum of cultivation resources every year in exchange for the effectiveness of Kunlun School disciples.It is said that everyone takes what they need, but in fact it is collecting protection fees in disguise.

In exchange, the Kunlun faction will hand over Kunwu City and the Kunwu Army.

There is no doubt that if the above conditions are met, a new type of relationship between the sect and the dynasty will be created, allowing the two to obtain a symbiotic relationship after mutual compromise.

Just wait for the king of Chu to make a decision.
