In mid-December, the battle situation reached a stalemate, and the Nanchun Army began to stop.

For fifteen consecutive days, not only did they not make any further progress, they were pushed back to the pass. At one time, they could only withstand the imperial court's counterattack by relying on the south gate to pass the city.

Although the imperial court was on the verge of collapse, a emaciated camel was bigger than a horse.

In the military camp, many generals gathered around a huge map, quarreling and expressing their opinions.

But without exception, they all want to completely overthrow Daqian.

Before the Nanshui attack, the opinions within the Nanchun Army were divided into two groups: the conservatives wanted to be recruited, and the radicals wanted to separate themselves. Only a handful of people wanted to fight out and win the world's legitimacy.

After they captured Luodu, the wind direction reversed 360 degrees in an instant. Because Daqian's last deterrent power completely disappeared as they captured Luodu.

At this moment, everyone is thinking about becoming a prince and becoming a prime minister.

The same is true for Jiang Jucai. People's ambitions will continue to rise with their status.

Suddenly, a voice came from the evening breeze, and Jiang Jucai suddenly interrupted the generals who were talking and said: "That's it for today. Generals, go back and rest first."

Everyone looked at each other in confusion. The cronies who had come into contact with some things were the first to leave. The smart ones could think of some rumors. The remaining people who didn't know what was going on could only follow the crowd.

Soon everyone in the tent dispersed.

"How's the situation?"

A calm voice came from beside him, and Gu Wen appeared next to Jiang Jucai.

Jiang Jucai bowed his hands and replied: "The battle situation was at a stalemate, and the imperial court's offensive suddenly became extremely fierce. According to the spies' reports, the Xiang army and county soldiers from the other nine counties have arrived, and the imperial court has issued military pay for three consecutive years."

It turns out that the money has arrived.

Gu Wen understood that the specific command of the war was very complicated and troublesome, but the overall situation was very simple. It was just about logistics and people's hearts.

The former is particularly important. As long as the logistics are sufficient, half the battle is already won.

When it comes to logistics, we undoubtedly have the upper hand.

If Daqian was still in his prime, then maybe the Nanchun Army would be lost here. Because after all, they do not have a complete and orderly ruling team, and how can they compete with ten counties with two counties?

But Gu Wen knew very well what Daqian was like, and even if the Taoist monarchs and emperors were powerful, they would not be able to save it. Because Taoism and law cannot control the hearts of the people, let alone thousands of corrupt officials.

No matter how much military pay you have, it can last for a while. Maybe when military pay is released again next month, many people will be unable to help but reach out again.

And can Emperor Daojun kill all the officials? Unless he has the ability to differentiate, using the knife on officials will hasten their death.

The problems of the system will not be transferred by individual will and death.

When Jiang Ju saw Gu Wen being silent for a moment, he thought that Gu Wen was not satisfied, so he quickly added: "Don't worry, Mr. Wen, there were people from Linchuan County a few days ago, and the wealthy families there promised to provide us with money and food and ensure logistical supplies. We just need to spend some time." Time will soon..."

"Be steady."

Gu Wen interrupted, he could see Jiang Jucai's urgency and awe for him.

Such an attitude is good, but getting too close will make people lose awe, and awe may lead to no concern about the consequences of failure.

At the same time, bad situations will occur. In history, a considerable number of wars were lost due to political factors.

"Save the land and lose the people, and everyone and the land will be lost. Save the people and lose the land, and both the people and the land will survive."

Gu Wen subconsciously cited scriptures. Many people knew the truth in his previous life, but Jiang Jucai had never heard of it.

The dynasty of Chengxian Land does not have a history of five thousand years, and the war model was also figured out through the constant fighting between the barbarians of the Demon Sect and Daqian.

When it comes to war, everyone is relatively immature. Gu Wen discovered that the Nanchun Army always aimed to capture the city as its victory goal, and rarely considered its own damage.

The same is true for Daqian.

"Tomorrow, we will switch from offense to defense. We will withdraw all the troops first. If the situation is not right, we will abandon Nanmen Pass. Dagan will gather soldiers from nine counties. Just food and grass will be enough to give them a headache."

Jiang Jucai's eyes widened slightly, as if he had been inspired, and he cupped his hands and said, "My nephew, I have learned a lesson."

The next day, various units of the Nanchun Army began to retreat to Nanmen Pass, guarding them tightly and not taking a single step forward.

However, when a large army is engaged in a single attack, it is neither a sudden retreat nor an advance.

Field battles can still be won by relying on numbers and ordnance, but siege battles may not necessarily win even with all the strength exerted.

————————————

Bianjing, Imperial Palace.

When the news of the war arrived, Emperor Daojun threw the letter into the stove and sighed slightly: "Retreat to advance, wait until I burn myself."

A person walked out of the shadows in the corner of the palace, wearing a purple robe, and his eyes were filled with purple light, which was beyond words.

The man in purple robe said: "Emperor Dao Lord, the situation is over and you have no way to recover. Even if Dao Zong is restrained by the demon clan now and the goddess does not take action, you may not be able to defeat that Hong Chen. He is already eighty-seven Daoist."

"The growth rate is so fast that many people in the three religions who are waiting and wondering have given up."

The Nanchun Army's unstoppable momentum is due to Gu Wen's momentum, which is also the attitude within the human race today.

There was only silence. Even if the forces they had installed in the Immortal Land were uprooted and wiped out, no one would stop them.

Because Gu Wen's talent for becoming an immortal is obvious to all, and at the same time, no one can erase him.

The powerful people whose clones have been killed have gone into hiding, and the powerful people who have not been killed are grateful for it. Only the Dao Lord and Emperor are like ants on a frying pan.

Although Qingcang's resurrection was uncomfortable, at least Emperor Daojun was in a worse situation than them. He was originally one of the top geniuses of the golden generation and the founder of the sect. He was even elected to become the Human Emperor at one time.

Just like becoming an immortal land, abandon the city-based rule and establish a dynasty so that the major sects do not have to worry about governing mortals and can draw fresh blood.

The dragon vein atmosphere created by Emperor Daojun can also become one of the most important barriers between humans and monsters in the future.

It can be said to be a win-win situation for all parties.

If Emperor Daojun hadn't been so crazy about becoming an immortal, he might have become the Human Emperor by now.

"You won't be able to hold on for long, and no one among the three religions will be willing to end. The only thing you can rely on is the demon clan."

As soon as these words came out, the old Taoist priest sitting cross-legged in front of the alchemy furnace raised his eyes slightly, and a wisp of killing intent enveloped the purple-robed half-immortal.

Then he slowly calmed down and his voice was hoarse and calm.

"I have no regrets in my decision. Since I regard all living beings as my hearth, it is the right thing to do today. But at least I can tell the difference between humans and monsters."

"Haha...Then you just wait here to die."

The purple-robed half-immortal turned around and left. He also wanted to find a place to hide for a thousand years.

Because he was one of the many semi-immortals who took action in Tianquan Mountain before.

Purple Demon Lord.

The hall returned to silence, except for the roaring fire.

Emperor Daojun touched the elixir furnace with his palm. The longevity elixir inside was as usual, but it was extraordinary.

"I am neither blind nor stupid. This scene should come to an end."

Boom!

The alchemy furnace vibrated, and the top was slowly lifted up. Then Emperor Daojun slapped it down, and the power of the entire Daqian Dragon Vein poured down.
Chapter completed!
