Immortal and Demon Cultivation

Gu Jianchi felt a little strange in his heart. In the past, his mentor only paid attention to the world of cultivation. Why would his mentor be interested in mortal wars today?

Since his mentor asked, he could only briefly introduce the war situation in the north.

It is not just the Western Region that is in danger now.

There are dangers in many directions in the world, but major wars have not broken out in other directions, so they have not attracted much attention from the world.

Not all the heavenly armies from the lower realm of the Gate of Catastrophe in the west of Yinshan Mountain attacked Yumen Pass southwards.

Only half of the troops went south.

The other half of Tianjie's troops advanced eastward along the northern part of Yinshan Mountain.

One of them has arrived five hundred miles north of Niangziguan, but it has only set up camp near Datong Mansion. It has not launched an attack for the time being. It should be waiting for the subsequent arrival of the Legion of Destruction.

The other group is still continuing to advance eastward. The infantry marches 150 miles every day. The Storm Legion is faster. Before the Battle of Longmen started three days ago, it had already entered the Liaodong area. Yesterday, a group of Storm Legion cavalry even Appeared about two hundred miles outside Shanhaiguan.

Niangzi Pass and Shanhaiguan both belong to the northern war zone. This war zone is also called the Gyeonggi War Zone. Losing Niangzi Pass is equivalent to opening the western gate of the capital.

And without Shanhaiguan, the northern gate of the capital was opened.

His Majesty the Emperor appointed Marshal Xu Kai as the general manager of the march in Northern Shanxi Province, commanding 23 million soldiers and sitting on the front line of Niangziguan.

Xu Kai knew that Niangzi Pass was not as good as Shanhaiguan Pass, Yumen Pass, and Yingzui Cliff, and it would be difficult to withstand the attack from Heaven, so his tactics were different from Zhao Zian's.

Xu Kai was in Datong Prefecture, Taiyuan Prefecture, Xinzhou Prefecture, and Yangquan Prefecture, relying on favorable terrain to block attacks at every level, trying to eliminate the enemy's effective forces.

The city gate of Niangziguan is the last line of defense at the western gateway of the entire Gyeonggi Province.

Therefore, Xu Kai deployed more than 15 million troops at Niangzi Pass. As long as these 15 million soldiers were not killed, the enemy would not be able to cross Niangzi Pass.

The commander-in-chief of Shanhaiguan was named Li Xianjing.

Hereditary Iron Hat King, worshiped as the general of the country, with the title of first rank.

The Li family has been blessed by the emperor for generations. Li Xianjing's grandfather, Li Shou, was a child of the current emperor. When the emperor was still the prince, Li Shou served as the commander of the six guards of the East Palace.

After the prince ascended the throne, Li Shou became the commander-in-chief of the 200,000 imperial guards in the imperial city.

His eldest son, Li Fu, commanded millions of soldiers and guarded Shanhaiguan for forty-three years.

The second son, Li He, took the path of a civil servant. He was worshiped as Prince Shaobao and was of the first rank.

Li Xianjing is the eldest son of the Li family. He has been training in Shanhaiguan with his father since he was a child, and has rich battlefield experience.

Otherwise, His Majesty the Emperor would not have dared to hand over the northeast gate of the capital to Li Xianjing.

Li Xianjing was not as adventurous as Xu Kai. He acted steadily and withdrew all his more than 20 million troops to Shanhaiguan.

This withdrawal, which seems to be a simple withdrawal, actually requires a lot of determination.

This is equivalent to giving up the entire Liaodong region.

The catastrophe came quickly. Now, less than 50% of the people in the 27 prefectures in Liaodong have been transferred to the pass.

More than 20 million old, weak, women and children are still outside the customs.

The heavenly army is coming, and they have no place to hide.

The situation of these 20 million women and children is extremely critical.

Gu Jianchi briefly introduced the current situation outside Shanhaiguan to Yu Jizi.

After a pause, he said: "Now that the imperial court has deployed heavy troops in Shanhaiguan, it is equivalent to abandoning the entire twenty-seven states in Liaodong. According to calculations, there are still at least 20 million people who have not been transferred to the pass.

According to recent news, the three countries of Goguryeo, Buyeo, and Baekje on the Liaodong Peninsula, as well as the Mohe tribe near Changbai Mountain, have united the Detachment of Women from many places that cannot be transferred to the pass.

They formed a coalition of eight million troops and formed two lines of defense on the east bank of the Beishui River in Liaodong and in the Qingtian Valley at the foot of the Changbai Mountain.

Protect the people from moving to the Liaodong Peninsula and Changbai Mountain.

However, they don't have good weapons and their defenses are very crude. If the heavenly army has ideas about them, they won't be able to stop them for a few days. "

Yu Jizi fell into silence.

After a while, he said: "It is winter now, and the Celestial soldiers in the Northeast and Liaodong areas should not advance quickly.

The fighting in the Northeast will not stop at least until the ice and snow melts next March.

Alas, once the Northeast is lost, the world will lose a big granary.

I don’t know how many people will starve to death. "

Gu Jianchi said: "Master cares about the common people, and disciples respect him.

But there is nothing we can do about it. There is a vast plain outside Shanhaiguan, and there is no way to stop the enemy.

Now we can only pray that Shanhaiguan and Niangziguan can be defended, otherwise the capital will be in danger of being attacked from both sides. "

Yu Jizi nodded and said: "Although the mortal battlefield has nothing to do with us cultivators, they are all of the same lineage in the human world after all. In the future, you should pay more attention to the mortal wars.

It seems that nothing big will happen in Middle-earth recently, so I plan to stay in seclusion for a period of time.

You and Yun He will be responsible for taking care of all matters on Cangyun Mountain.

If there is anything important, you can report it to the teacher at noon every day.

Remember, it can only be noon.

At other times, please do not disturb the teacher. "

Gu Jianchi was stunned.

He didn't understand why this time his mentor had to set a time limit for him to meet him during his retreat.

He couldn't figure it out, so he stopped thinking about it. He stood up and saluted, saying, "Yes, disciple, please bear this in mind."

The news that Yu Jizi announced his retreat soon spread in Cangyun Sect.

Not only were the disciples of Cangyun Sect surprised, but even the disciples from outside the sect gathered in Cangyun Mountain were also surprised.

The catastrophe has come, and the cultivators have also fought against the six departments of heaven and man.

At this critical moment, Yu Jizi actually announced his retreat.

The young people couldn't figure it out, but the older people seemed to understand Yu Jizi.

Now the world has placed all its last hope for this catastrophe on the reincarnation formation in Cangyun Mountain.

And Yu Jizi is the only one who can activate the reincarnation formation.

It is conceivable how much pressure Yu Jizi is under.

Yu Jizi chose to retreat at this critical moment, and he must want to use this time to improve his own cultivation, and perhaps he can gain more confidence in the victory of the world.

Fortunately, the recent war seems to have only occurred on the battlefield of mortals. The world of cultivation and the six departments of heaven and man are still relatively peaceful, and there will not be too much conflict in a short time.

Even if Yu Jizi was in seclusion, it would not have much impact on the current war situation in the world.

Ye Tianci did not care whether Yu Jizi was in seclusion or not. At this moment, it was about half an hour before dawn.

He had already put on gorgeous clothes and led nearly a hundred high-ranking members of the Ghost Xuan Sect and the scattered cultivators of the Devil Lake, setting off from Qiuci City and flying towards the direction of the temple 500 miles north.
