Chapter 269 Desolate Nanzhao
Nanzhao, Nuwa Shrine.

In the spacious and majestic temple, dim lights were on, and through the curtains, a woman was sitting at her desk.

"Another stockade was breached."

Zixuan picked up a memorial on the desk, and after reading the contents, she couldn't help frowning.

"These damn Nanzhou Army, sooner or later, I will let you pay with blood."

Zixuan gritted her silver teeth secretly, resentful, but then sighed sadly.

Now she can only work hard with her mouth.

Since the Nanzhou Allied Forces invaded Nanzhao nine years ago, the Witch King fought for a year because he opened the Great Array to protect the country, but he was finally killed by backlash.

The old king passed away, and the one who succeeded the witch king was a young boy less than ten years old.

How can a child manage the government?
So no matter how unwilling Zixuan was at the time, she had to return to Nanzhao in the end to fulfill her duties as a saint and take charge of Nanzhao's state affairs.

Originally, she planned to wait for the situation in Nanzhao to stabilize a little, then order a few Tuogu ministers to assist the young master in handling state affairs.

But the change of the situation obviously exceeded her expectation.

After repelling the Nanzhou coalition forces, only four years later, that is, three years after the death of the old Witch King, when the Nanzhao court situation was slightly stable, the second round of invasion from the south had already begun.

Under the leadership of Master Qinglian, Nanhai took the lead in completing the establishment of various altars, and then he joined forces with the great witch head and Master Huanglong to establish altars in southern Xinjiang and Jiangnan successively.

The entire process took four years.

Four years later, there was only Nanzhao left in the whole south, and no Dharma altar was established.

Therefore, in order to complete Zhongci's mission and make meritorious service, the establishment of the second Nanzhou coalition army was naturally put on the proposal.

There is no extra hesitation.

Facing Master Qinglian's proposal, Da Wushou and Master Huang Long quickly agreed.

Therefore, after four years, the Nanzhou Allied Forces, which had completely integrated Southern Xinjiang, Jiangnan, and Nanhai, pressed against Nanzhao with greater momentum.

Because I suffered a loss before.

Therefore, this time the Nanzhou Allied Forces did not choose the strategy of capturing the thieves first and capture the king as before, and rushed towards the capital of Nanzhao.

They chose the strategy of approaching step by step, fighting steadily, and continuing to consume.

Because after research, Master Qinglian and the others believed that the reason for their failure last time was mainly due to intelligence errors and underestimation of the power of the Nanzhao National Defense Array.

So this time they were prepared, and they also had a targeted strategy.

The so-called great array of protecting the country is actually the power to unify a country, including all the powers that rule the people, mountains and rivers, and the strong in the country. When these forces are gathered together, the terrifying power manifested through the power of the formation .

So if you want to crack Nanzhao's national defense formation, the method is actually very simple.

As long as the population of Nanzhao is wiped out, and those people who believe in Nuwa are wiped out, the power of these beliefs will be lost in the national defense formation.

By destroying the direction of Nanzhao's mountains and rivers and cutting off the power of the earth's veins, the power of the national defense formation from the mountains, rivers and rivers will also be cut off.

Then, in the above two actions, the wizard monks and monks in Nanzhao Kingdom will be continuously consumed, and the contribution from the powerhouses in the country will gradually decrease.

So three pronged.

By the time of the final blow, Nanzhao Kingdom's national defense formation will be destroyed without attack.

Therefore, after the strategic policy was selected, the Nanzhou Allied Forces implemented it without compromise.

They sent monks and mortal troops to various parts of the Nanzhao Kingdom, killing all the people they saw along the way, and burning all the villages and cities along the way.

At the same time, the monks cut off the land veins in various places in Nanzhao, and cut off the connection between these land veins and the Nanzhao National Defense Array.

Then, in order to deal with these harassments and invasions, the Nanzhao Kingdom had to disperse the monks in their hands into small teams and lead the domestic army to fight against the obstruction.

A war of attrition began.

The Nanzhao Kingdom, which had just recuperated for four years and finally regained some vitality, fell into the quagmire of war again.

A five-year war was going on in the land of Nanzhao.

After five years, the Nanzhao Kingdom was continuously bled by the Nanzhou Allied Forces and became weaker and weaker. It was like a tall giant, but it was so skinny due to illness that it might collapse at any time.

Also because of this war, Zixuan's original plan to leave also had to be declared shattered.

In order to ensure the continuation of the motherland, she must stay and lead Nanzhao to resist the invaders.

Memories of these years flashed slowly in my mind.

Zixuan stood up, frowning deeply, and she came to a map of mountains and rivers in front of the desk, which depicted the entire territory of Nanzhao Kingdom.

Then she found the location of the stockade recorded in the memorial, and then drew a cross with the pen in her hand, which represented that Nanzhao lost another stockade and the land around the stockade.

At this moment.

The territory map of Nanzhao in front of me has shrunk by a full circle compared to the map five years ago, leaving only less than a quarter of the area, and a large area of ​​the country has been lost.

Glancing at the territory map with grief, Zixuan went back to the table, picked up Nanzhao's household registration book, found the record of the village in it, gently erased it, and then counted Nanzhao's household registration book again. population.

13 three households, 490 two households.

With a population of less than one million, these are the only remaining people in Nanzhao Kingdom. Compared with the peak period of more than three million people nine years ago, it is so bleak.

Zixuan writes very slowly, but also very heavy.

Because what she wrote was not strokes, but tens of thousands of lives.

The last stroke fell.

Zixuan directly threw Bi on the desk, even though she had experienced it countless times, she still couldn't calm down.

Silently closed his eyes.

It took Zixuan a moment to regain her composure, then she reorganized her mood and continued to review the memorial.

Nanzhao is very miserable now, and it is also very difficult. As a saint, as the actual controller of Nanzhao today, she must shoulder her own responsibilities.

Nanzhao couldn't do without her.

Even from the day she came to power, for nine consecutive years, she failed to make Nanzhao better. On the contrary, she lost troops and generals one after another, and lost the country, almost to the point where the country is about to be destroyed now.

The hall returned to silence, the dim candlelight was flickering, and Zixuan's figure drawn by the candlelight slanted and swayed along with the candlelight.

The figure on the desk continued to pick up the lost writing brush, and continued to review the memorial, just like the boring time day after day before.

So came the second day.

When the front line was defeated, along with the retreating refugees, a young man who looked like a rich man retreated to a city behind Nanzhao.
