When Hunjun begins to make elixirs

Chapter 106 stalemate
The sun sets over the western mountains, and the sunset clouds blur the bloodstains.The battle for the city that lasted for one day and one night ended.

Hong Zheng was jolted by the cold water and slowly woke up. The leather military boots had been worn out, and the bloody heels were exposed. He could not stand up and could only sit on the ground.

"Name!"

"Hong Zheng."

"From the Hong family? I know you. In the last battle to annihilate King Ping, you bravely captured Shishan Pass and cut off the enemy's retreat. You became famous in one battle. You can be considered a veteran on the battlefield."

Hong Zheng smiled bitterly: "I didn't expect that a junior like you would know about my deeds. I almost forgot about it myself. Playing with eagles all day long, only to be pecked by eagles in the end. You can withstand my three rounds of temptations and cut off my retreat with cavalry, even if you don't With the help of cultivators, I can't escape. But why are you in Ban City? According to my estimation, you can never move so fast."

"My name is Yan Dahu. I am transporting grain back to the capital according to the emperor's order. I am passing through this place and want to fight on the way."

Hong Zheng understood. He closed his eyes and looked up to the sky and sighed: "Heaven will destroy me."

Yan Dahu stopped talking nonsense to him and turned around and ordered: "Take him into custody and take him back to the capital."

Lin Cheng stepped forward and said: "General Yan doesn't know something. The emperor has a decree. The noble and rebellious generals do not need to be escorted to the capital. They can be punished on the spot."

Yan Dahu looked back at Hong Zheng with some regret and waved his hand.

Hong Zheng was dragged down and his head was beheaded without saying a word for mercy during the whole process.He could already foresee the demise of Xungui, he would die sooner or later, and he would die sooner or later.This time, if other families could send troops, maybe the outcome would be different, right?However, there is no "maybe" in life.

Everything was not over yet. Deng Piao and Lin Cheng went down to the tower and came to the captive team. They looked at the mountains of gold, silver and jewelry that the rebels had snatched from the hands of the people.

They identified the soldiers who had been coerced into joining the rebels, and then asked them to identify them: "No officers from more than [-] households and soldiers who participated in the massacre of the people will be spared!"

The guns of the Shenwu Battalion ruthlessly harvested the lives of these beasts.

In the palace, Li Shun received the battle report of the Battle of Bancheng three days later. He was overjoyed. This was the first big victory since the war began!Yan Dahu did not disappoint him.

Although he was confident in defeating the nobles, he could not withstand the negative impact of the battle reports of repeated losses. Many people in the scene were pessimistic. Even Hua Jingrong was willing to die for his country and cut off his nobles to raise troops. excuse.

At court the next morning, Li Shun began to publicize the results of this battle. He wanted to tell the government and the public that the rebels could not withstand the imperial army!Yan Dahu was also promoted to the rank of General Huwei and led his own army to the Eastern Front.

At the same time, Ding Ao, the prefect of Banzhou, was also transferred to the capital.Food has entered the capital, and Li Shun needs some capable ministers to take charge of disaster relief matters.Disaster relief still needs to be provided, and war and chaos will only make matters worse if a civil uprising is provoked.

Yan Dahu and other imperial reinforcements stationed in Bancheng, completed the handover, and then led the troops south to begin fighting against the eastern rebels.

The Battle of Bancheng was like a signal. As the imperial reinforcements rushed to various places, the rebel offensive slowed down significantly. As long as the rebels did not surrender, they would have to capture a city and a place, which would cost at least three times more troops than before, and there would also be casualties. The number increased significantly and the situation gradually turned into a stalemate.With the implementation of Lishun disaster relief, a large number of victims went to the prefectural capital of Kinki in order to survive.The behavior of nobles coercing victims and increasing their power has been effectively curbed.Part of the disaster relief food was distributed to various places with the army to stabilize the place and promote the cooperation between the army and the people to defend the city.

The nobles finally started to panic!
The West Route rebels led by the Xi family continued to recruit troops and food from their own rear, squeezing the people, and finally provoked a civil uprising.Li Shun is definitely no stranger to the banner of anti-people, Shenmu Sect!
When Li Shun received the news, he did not gloat about the misfortune, but was vigilant and attentive. Dalong and his group finally took action!
The spirit of luck senses that there are changes in the luck in the northwest, and its connection with her is gradually weakening.However, the dragon veins are still intact.There are two dragon veins in the northwest, one is the Tianzhu Mountains at the source of the Five Rivers, and the other is the Bailang Mountains near the border, which the Ersa people call the "Holy Mountain".This is unprecedented!

In order to prevent their lair from being taken away, the Xi family had to send troops back to suppress it.The pressure on the Western Front was greatly reduced.

The Xi family is a very special existence among the nobles. One family dominates two provinces, has the most authority and the strongest military force. In addition, they are in constant confrontation with the Ersa people, so the combat capabilities of their soldiers cannot be underestimated.If we say that the other noble disciples have been reduced to a pulp.The Xi family still has some military talents, and some gold can be found in the sand.

On December 29, the fifth year of Shengtong, in Jiangdu, the heads of 28 distinguished families gathered again. They lost their initial ambitions and most of them looked sad.

Among them, the Xi family, who fought the most smoothly, was only one state away from the capital, but they found that they could not push back. They had been in a stalemate in a Wu city for more than 20 days, and the Shenmu Cult incident happened again.The Xi family's frontline troops can only be maintained at about [-].

The middle road is similar. The Zhong family is in a stalemate two states away from Gyeonggi.Although the Hong family also belongs to the central region, they are the eastern rebels who joined.

The fighting on the Eastern Front was the most intense and magical, because with the help of Hu Minyi and the demon cultivators he led, they met the imperial reinforcements and immediately started fighting with magic!Fang Ji and Wu Sheng led their disciples together with the warlocks from the Shenji Manufacturing Office, and once beat Hu Minyi to the point of almost autistic.

"How can they exert their full strength! Doesn't luck affect them?"

Until Zhuge Zhenglong sent him a solution.A Dalong mark hit him, and Dayin's control over his luck instantly weakened.

This kind of mark is something similar to the blessing of the power of Li Shun's imperial edict developed by Dalong Warlock.However, the imprint is the product of their independent refining of luck and has no effect on enhancing their cultivation.
Dalong Warlock has completed half of the transformation of the dragon veins in Tianzhu Mountain and Bailang Mountain. He has usurped a lot of luck and can condense a new Dalong Mark.It's time for them to take action.

Li Shun is now beyond his reach and can only let Zhang Jinzhong lead the minions of the Dragon Slaying Organization to carry out sabotage.After counting during this period, Zhang Jinzhong has preliminarily counted the number of people in the Dragon Slaying Organization in Dayin, which is more than [-].There were originally about a thousand people, but many people died because the elixir was cut off.

Most of them are monks in the foundation-building stage, with 28 in the innate stage and 100 in the Qi-refining stage.This is a considerable force, not counting the sect founded by Li Zhilu.Those Hu Minyi gathered were members from the two eastern provinces, about [-] people.

Now the Dragon Slaying Organization has been completely controlled by Zhang Jinzhong and has become Li Shun's force.Many people in the organization had already guessed that Zhang Jinzhong had defected to the imperial court.But, as Zhang Jinzhong said, who should be treated as a dog and not a dog?

During this period, Hu Minyi also noticed the strange behavior of the Dragon Slaying Organization. As soon as they came into contact with the imperial officers and soldiers, they fell out of control.He has no control over the Dragon Slaying Organization and only uses force to intimidate.

He didn't know that the solution he provided was of no use to most people in the Dragon Slaying Organization. Many of them were too late in this life. It would only be useful to a woman of his own blood for at least seven months. The cost was too high.

After Zhang Jinzhong learned about this method, he told Li Shun about it without hesitation, but he couldn't use it anyway.

Li Shun compared Wang Zhishu's memory and found that he did not know that there was such a solution to the blood-burning evil method.Hu Minyi actually also practiced the blood-burning evil method, and the version he practiced was different from that of the Dragon Slaying Organization!Then there is only one possibility, there is an opponent lurking in the secret!He couldn't understand. Wasn't Hu Minyi a lackey of Dalong's people?
Such a practice that goes against the principles of nature and human nature must not be spread!Immediately order Zhang Jinzhong to secretly get rid of those who know this solution. Otherwise, I don’t know how many people will have their families destroyed!
