Died of old age, and you tell me this is a life simulation?

Even the countries in the Western Regions believed that they could protect themselves with the help of this terrain, not to mention the countries across the desert area. They never thought that there would be a day when they would be targeted by Daqian.

The rise of Daqian was more of a shock.

It is believed that their national strength far surpassed that of any other country in history. After all, they had united almost all of China, accomplishing such a feat that had never been done before and would likely never be repeated. Who in the world would not be deeply shocked!?

But no matter how moved they were, they were just amazed. They would not think that Daqian would continue to expand outward, nor would they think that Daqian would pose any specific threat to themselves. That would be too unrealistic.

The areas surrounding Daqian are either cut off by the sea or cut across by deserts. Almost all the land that can be annexed has been annexed. How can there be any room for external expansion?

What's more, in the eyes of some forces, although the Daqian Empire was at its peak, it would decline after reaching its peak. Such a prosperous situation would not last long. It would be extremely difficult to rule and govern such a vast territory. Although the territory seemed huge, it might collapse at any time and fall apart in an instant.

It’s good enough to be able to maintain the current territory, but is there still enough energy to expand outward?

How is this possible?

But I didn't expect the slap in the face to come so suddenly.

Daqian really needs to expand outward.

This is an unprecedented military expedition!

Everyone was shocked by this.

However, it is not necessarily a cause for concern.

Yes!

Daqian is very strong, and the elite level of its military force is obvious to all in the world, and no one can deny it!

Those extremely brilliant and even incredible battle achievements of the gods have been considered impossible to replicate by all forces so far, and are beyond human power!

No force believes that it can withstand the attack of the Daqian army.

But the problem is...

Human power is limited. No matter how powerful you are, what can you do in the face of the great power of nature?

Crossing the desert, not to mention whether these 200,000 troops would be trapped and annihilated, even if they did get out, how many of these 200,000 troops would be left? How much combat effectiveness would they still have?

By then, even the most elite army would probably be exhausted, with only remnants left. In such a situation, what would they be afraid of?

Even if we take a step back and say that your Daqian army is truly a force of nature, and can maintain a certain level of combat effectiveness even in such a desert terrain, so what?

They can hardly compare with Daqian's national strength, nor can they be compared with Daqian's military strength, but as an isolated army outside, especially an isolated army that can hardly get backup and logistical supplies, even if they are not as good as them, they should be able to withstand it, right?

... 0

Relying on the right time, place and people, there is always a possibility of dragging down and destroying this army.

Realizing this, many forces began to laugh at the fact that they were about to see Daqian suffer a crushing defeat.

Since the rise of this powerful empire, it seemed as if it had never suffered a single defeat, winning every battle, no matter how big or small! Its terrifying fighting power intimidated all parties under heaven. Now that there was a chance to see it lose, or even lose badly, it was natural to be tempted.

certainly......

Most of these forces are quite far away. Even if the Daqian army crossed the desert, there were still the Sui Dynasty and many other countries behind them. Naturally, they could maintain a complacent mentality.

However, some countries that may face the Daqian army head-on are not so patient.

Although they also tend to believe that the Daqian army's expedition is likely to fail, and it is even possible that the entire army will be wiped out in the desert.

But it must be said that the terrifying combat power that Daqian has demonstrated since its uprising is truly awe-inspiring.

No matter how small the probability is, knowing that such a thing has happened is always unbearable and makes one feel uneasy.

So they all made certain arrangements to be on guard against it.

This was the case with the Sui Dynasty, Goguryeo, and other small countries.

Chapter 621: Each one responds individually! Unite the forces of righteousness!

Of course, although it is said to be a response to the possible threat from the Daqian army, it is actually not that easy to implement.

The situations in different countries are different, but all countries have difficulties.

First of all, Goguryeo had been conquered by the Sui army three times before. Although it held its ground each time, it was exhausted from years of war and its national strength was weakened. In addition, it still had to face the threat from the Sui Dynasty. It had troops stationed on the border and the defense pressure was enormous. It was really unsustainable to mobilize additional troops to defend the east.

In addition, in the eyes of the Goguryeo high-level officials, the possibility of the Daqian army crossing the desert was too low, so even if it was a thorn in the side, they could only mobilize a small part of the troops to be on guard, and did not mobilize too many.

Other small countries are small and weak, and do not have much ability to defend themselves, and their vigilance is only symbolic.

To put it bluntly, even though Daqian's 200,000-strong army suffered heavy losses in the desert, with only one tenth or even one hundredth of its troops remaining, it still did not seem difficult for it to conquer these small countries.

Defense doesn't make much sense.

If their army had preserved a little more manpower, they would have had no other way of survival except to surrender.

And what about the Sui Dynasty?

Although it was a large country with strong national strength, it had been ruled by tyranny for many years since Emperor Yang Guang ascended the throne. He launched three expeditions to Goguryeo, built the Grand Canal, and carried out large-scale construction projects.

I don't know how much national and people's strength has been consumed. Now there are frequent chaos in the Sui Dynasty. Rebellions in various places are beginning to grow in momentum, and a major chaos is about to break out. Seriously speaking, there is not much energy to pay attention to what is happening in the outside world.

Even if the imperial court attached importance to it, it would be difficult to mobilize heavy troops for defense.

Because the imperial court was in decline, the central government's prestige was damaged, and its control over the local areas was gradually weakened, especially the border troops.

Under such circumstances, how could the Sui Dynasty continue to mobilize troops?

And even if it is possible, how can we grasp the degree?

If too many troops are mobilized, what if the Daqian army cannot survive at all? Such great efforts will be in vain. Not only will it increase the burden on the people, but it is estimated that internal unrest will be aggravated, and there is even the possibility of a complete collapse. If too few troops are mobilized, it seems to have little significance.

Once the Daqian army really crosses the desert, no matter how many troops are left, they must be extremely cautious because of their elite level.

I'm afraid that adding a small number of troops will hardly have any effect.

The court's final solution was to order the border troops to be more vigilant.

There are not many other actions.

There is actually an element of gambling involved here.

The bet is that the Daqian army cannot come, or even if it comes, it will only be remnants and will not pose a big threat.

The most important thing for the Sui Dynasty court at present is to deal with internal unrest.

Of course... Having said that, we still sent more people to gather intelligence and keep informed of the news at all times. If there is any accident, we can at least respond quickly.

Not only the Sui Dynasty court was watching closely, but all forces in the world were also watching closely.

No matter what you think in your heart, Daqian is always recognized as the most powerful empire in the world!

No one dares to despise it.

Although no matter how they judged, they all believed that Daqian would most likely suffer heavy losses this time! However, it was difficult to be completely certain before the facts were truly concluded.

after all......

In their view, many of the things that Daqian had done since he started his rebellion were incredible and unimaginable!

Daqian has accomplished so many incredible things, who can be 100% sure that it will fail this time?

Hard to say.

No matter how impossible a thing is, in Daqian, there seems to be a slight possibility of success.

It is naturally difficult for all parties in the world not to pay close attention.

Among them, the ones that attracted the most attention and were the most tense were definitely the various aristocratic families and clan forces within the Sui Dynasty.

Nowadays, who doesn’t know what the basic policies of Daqian are?

That is a complete reform that will sweep away all forces and redefine the order!

If the Daqian army really crossed the desert and invaded the Sui Dynasty, the first to bear the brunt would definitely be the aristocratic families like them.

According to Daqian’s long-standing practice, is there still room for them to exist?

Definitely not!

Therefore, regarding the expedition of the Daqian army, the local aristocratic families were even more nervous than the Sui court.

Many of them even took the initiative to support the border troops and strengthen the border defense to ensure that they have sufficient military strength to defend the border.

At the same time, various places under the rule of the Sui Dynasty were also ready to move.

Many ambitious people have seen through the internal and external troubles and want to take advantage of the situation.

However, the matter of Daqian is, after all, far away, and it is hard to say whether it is possible to come here. Although various forces attach importance to it, they are actually more concerned about another thing than this.

The contemporary saint of Cihang Jingzhai was born. Half a year ago, she united all the righteous forces in the martial arts world and immediately began to contact various forces.

Over the past six months, the top families within the Sui Dynasty have been visited by Cihang Jingzhai one after another. It is unknown what they talked about, and the leaders of each family kept silent about it.

Speaking of which, although Cihang Jingzhai has a somewhat transcendent status, whenever the world is in chaos, people always go down the mountain in the name of "choosing the master on behalf of God" to find the "true emperor" for the people of the world. The key is that they have succeeded many times. As a result, Cihang Jingzhai is naturally given an extremely strong mysterious color, and the world's aristocratic families still value it relatively.

But this is just a reflection of its influence. In reality, Cihang Jingzhai is only a martial arts force after all. Even though it is the leader of the righteous path and has a deep foundation, it is still far behind the power of the aristocratic families.

Generally speaking, it may be respected to a certain extent, but it cannot be said to be treated with caution.

However, this time, the contemporary saint of 1.0 Cihang Jingzhai was obviously extraordinary. While unifying the forces of justice, she also suppressed the forces of evil. She had accomplished such an achievement in half a year. Even if it was only a matter of the martial arts world, it was enough to make all the forces in the Sui Dynasty extremely cautious.

It is better to say that after integrating the forces of the righteous path, Cihang Jingzhai has now become a huge force with extremely strong strength, which is not inferior to any top aristocratic families, and is even superior in all aspects!

In the past, there may have been many forces that were not interested in Cihang Jingzhai, but now they absolutely dare not look down on it.

(ps: Asking for custom orders, full orders, flowers, evaluations, monthly tickets, comments, and support~)

Chapter 622: The Purpose of Cihang Jingzhai! The Four Great Clans!

Not only do they not dare to look down on it, but all forces are eager to befriend Cihang Jingzhai.

Especially those aristocratic families and clans who are determined to fight for the world in the future chaotic times.

Originally, the influence of the "Master of Tianze" in Cihang Jingzhai was already quite large. Under normal circumstances, it would be enough to attract their attention. If they could gain his favor and call on the righteous martial arts world to help, then it would certainly be of great benefit to their own forces.

It can also increase the chances of winning the battle for the world.

Now, after integrating the forces of righteousness, Cihang Jingzhai is extremely powerful. This cannot be compared with simply calling on the righteous forces of the world. Whether in terms of influence or actual effect, it is far beyond the past!

If we can get his help, then great things may not be impossible to achieve!

Based on this idea, over the past six months, most of the aristocratic families have attached great importance to the visit of Cihang Jingzhai. Even if they have no interest in the world and only want to preserve their own power, they dare not take it lightly and do not want to offend the other party.

With the current size of Cihang Jingzhai, it can truly influence the overall situation of the world. No matter which force comes to the top in the future, it can be foreseen that Cihang Jingzhai's status will be very transcendent.

Far beyond the current transcendence!

With the existence of such a force, we naturally need to maintain good relations with it for future use.

However, what they didn't expect was that the birth of this generation of Saint Maiden of Cihang Jingzhai and the result of her "choosing the master on behalf of Heaven" would be so unexpected.

According to common sense, shouldn't Cihang Jingzhai choose one person to assist from among the various forces in the Sui Dynasty?

If this is the case, they can actually wait and see, consider it, weigh the pros and cons, and see if they can make a bet.

If the chosen person has a strong power, and with the help of Cihang Jingzhai, there will be a certain success rate in conquering the world. If they are added to the mix, it may not be impossible to achieve great things!

As long as the other party's political inclinations are in line with theirs, and they are willing to share power and rule the world with them, placing bets in advance and seeking the "merit of following the dragon" is not impossible!

But who could have imagined that the "Lord of Destiny" chosen by Cihang Jingzhai this time would be so unexpected!

No matter what, they will definitely not agree!

You can choose anyone, but Daqian?

You, Cihang Jingzhai, are dissatisfied with the longevity of our aristocratic family, right?

No one from any aristocratic family or clan would agree to such a dead end.

If Daqian was nearby and bordered Da Sui, they would have considered it more carefully.

Although he did not want to lose all his power, have all his land and wealth wiped out, or even be held accountable for his crimes, if Daqian really came to dominate the Sui Dynasty, then compared to power, saving his life would naturally be more important.

Moreover, taking the initiative to surrender may not necessarily bring benefits, and it may also be possible to seize a position or two.
