The Dahan Imperial Dynasty's Hanqiu Army moved out.
In just two days, Kong Xuan led his army to occupy Dahan City at the border.
The previous time, the Dahan Dynasty had sent out only ordinary soldiers. The Great Emperor Dynasty had taken advantage of the situation and lost five cities because of spies.
This time, it was different. This time, the Dahan Imperial Dynasty's most elite soldiers did not need too many schemes and schemes. The five cities were reclaimed in just five days.
The Dahan Imperial Dynasty had been in charge of the five cities for many years. The people's hearts were on the Dahan Imperial Dynasty's side. Regaining the important positions in the cities went incredibly smoothly.
The Immortal Demon Army filled the two legions. Gao Xianzhi split her army into ten groups to attack the Great Emperor Dynasty's ten cities.
Kong Xuan split his army into eight groups, sweeping through all obstacles.
The eighteen groups charged in like a hot knife through butter. A ferocious one-sided battle immediately ensued.
At this moment, the scouts of the four factions were all horrified. The Dahan Imperial Dynasty's army broke through the cities too quickly.
This kind of martial prowess was simply unstoppable.
Although Ying Province's cities had many defensive formations, Kai Tian Palace's people only needed ten people to attack several times to break through them.
Even though Kai Tian Palace's soldiers protected the cities, how could Kai Tian Palace outnumber the Dahan Imperial Dynasty?
The hundreds of thousands of Kai Tian Palace's soldiers were not formed from spirit stones but from killing in the Asura Dao's secret realm. They were hundreds of thousands of murderous gods.
If not for the lack of logistics, the Hanqiu Army would have charged north long ago.
Sima Changkong knew that the Dahan Imperial Dynasty's army was ferocious and could not be defeated. So, he had already retreated to Silver Moon City.
At Silver Moon City's City Lord's Residence:
Sima Changkong was currently reporting to a zither figurine.
"Your Majesty, the Dahan Imperial Dynasty is coming with great momentum. They have already lost thirty cities!" Sima Changkong reported respectfully.
On the other side, at Martial Sky City:
However, Takeshi Ryūshin, who was possessed by the Long Sanqian, was enraged. "Thirty cities? It's only been a few days, and you still have the nerve to say that? What did you do? "
Sima Changkong frowned slightly.
When did His Majesty become so violent? Don't you have any shrewdness? That shouldn't be the case. If he wasn't sure that the guqin figurine in front of him led to Her Majesty, Sima Changkong would even think that it was someone impersonating Her Majesty.
"Your Majesty, it's just 30 cities. I haven't done anything yet!" Sima Changkong frowned slightly.
"Didn't do it? Why? "Takeshi Ryūshin asked coldly.
"Hanqiu Army's declaration, Your Majesty should have already seen it. The Dahan Imperial Dynasty has the moral high ground and sent troops to attack our Great Wu. Their morale is high, and there are hundreds of thousands of soldiers from Kai Tian Palace. They are unstoppable, and there is no way to stop them. This subject did not fight them head-on!" Sima Changkong explained.
"Then are we just going to let them continue to take over the Dawu Empire's cities?" Takeshi Ryūshin said coldly.
"Your Majesty, this subject is waiting for an opportunity!" Sima Changkong explained.
"Opportunity? What opportunity? "
"In a short time, the Hanqiu Army has taken over 30 cities, but their speed is about to slow down. And it will only get slower and slower! "Sima Changkong confirmed.
"Why?"
"Because it's easy to take over a city, but hard to take it back!" Sima Changkong smiled.
"Oh?"
"Once the city is taken, we need to take over everything in the city! Otherwise, what's the difference if the army leaves after the city is taken? Thus, we need to send people to take over the city. However, the city is chaotic, so how can it be so easy to take over? Even if Chen Tianshan had prepared countless officials to take over the city, he still needs the army to suppress the chaos in the city. The Hanqiu Army needs to leave a group of people behind to suppress the chaos, and it will take some time for the Dahan Imperial Dynasty to send troops over. That's why we need to leave some soldiers behind in every city. The more cities the Hanqiu Army takes, the fewer people there will be to continue the siege, and their speed will slow down. Eventually, the Hanqiu Army will be worn down! "Sima Changkong explained.
"That makes sense, but as long as the Dahan's logistical forces arrive, the Hanqiu Army will continue to take over the Dawu Empire's cities. Are you not going to take action?" Takeshi Ryūshin said solemnly.
"Your Majesty, we can't take action now!" Sima Changkong said solemnly.
"Why?"
"This subject's army will definitely be inferior to the Hanqiu Army if they attack separately. We can only stick together and wait for the right time to attack the Hanqiu Army's armies one by one. We can't stay in a stalemate for long! "Sima Changkong said solemnly.
"Time? What time?" Takeshi Ryūshin asked solemnly.
"When the Hanqiu Army is at their limit!" Sima Changkong narrowed his eyes.
"Oh?"
"If the Dahan Imperial Dynasty wants to take over the Dawu Empire's cities, it doesn't depend on how many, how fast, or how strong the suppression is. It depends on the people's hearts. If the people's hearts are with the Dahan Imperial Dynasty, then the city will completely belong to the Dahan Imperial Dynasty. If the people's hearts are not with the Dahan Imperial Dynasty, then it will be useless even if they take over the city. The city will only become a burden to them! "Sima Changkong said solemnly.
"Oh? The people's hearts? "Takeshi Ryūshin raised an eyebrow.
"Yes. If it were any other imperial dynasty, then it would be fine, but this is the Dahan Imperial Dynasty. Haha, the people's hearts will not be with Gu Hai. Your Majesty, how did the Great Wu Dynasty and the Great Ying Imperial Dynasty become such empires in such a short time? Does Your Majesty know? "Sima Changkong said with a smile.
"Because these are the people of the Da Qian Celestial Dynasty in the past. The people's hearts are with the Da Qian and the Long Zhanguo. Dragon God Ying and I are the Da Qian Crown Prince, so the people love the house and its crow …?" Takeshi Ryūshin frowned slightly.
"That's right. That's why you and Dragon God Ying can divide the Da Qian territory without any resistance. Because the people love and respect His Majesty Daqiansheng. In the past, His Majesty Daqiansheng loved the people like his own children, so he was deeply supported by the people. Each city has its own clan. These clans are not individuals. After thousands of years of marriage, they have formed an extremely complicated network of relationships. This network of relationships is spread throughout the Da Qian Empire. Although their clan leaders are not strong and have not high authority, they have a high prestige among their clans. Their attitude is the people's hearts.
Your Majesty, have you forgotten? In the past year, the most important thing for me was to build relationships with these prestigious clan leaders. Many of the former Da Qian officials were looked down upon by the Crown Prince. He thought that they were not very talented and were extremely pedantic. The Crown Prince did not want to care about them. Some of them were even disobedient and wanted to make an example out of them. However, I have repeatedly stopped him. Why? Because they have prestige. They can guide the attitude of the clan leaders and influence the people's hearts! "Solemnly Sima Changkong said Sima Changkong.
"Oh? Those old guys? "Takeshi Ryūshin's face darkened.
"Your Majesty, the Crown Prince looks down on them. Why do you look down on them too? I remember that you asked me to treat them well! "Sima Changkong said blankly.
This is the most basic trick of an Emperor. Your Majesty, why …?
"Nothing. Continue!" Takeshi Ryūshin shook his head.
"Yes. Who do these people hate the most? Of course, it's Gu Hai. Although they are pedantic, this stubbornness is more beneficial to us. They must be extremely disgusted with Gu Hai's invasion. Their attitude will influence the various clans and the people. Although the clan leaders may not listen to them and turn to the Dahan, it's enough as long as half of them hate Gu Hai. They only need to add fuel to the fire and the people who destroyed the Long Zhanguo invade again. The people will definitely turn against the Dahan. The Dahan Empire will have to invest more manpower and financial resources. We can slowly wear down the Dahan Empire. At that time, I will destroy the army in my hands one by one. The Hanqiu Army will definitely be defeated! "Sima Changkong said with a serious look in his eyes.
Takeshi Ryūshin listened to Sima Changkong's affirmation. He narrowed his eyes and nodded. "You are preparing to add fuel to the fire and incite the people to resist the Dahan Empire?"
"Yes. I will contact the clan leaders and old officials. Is the Hanqiu Army strong? No. In my eyes, the people are the strongest. He has hundreds of thousands of Kaitian Palace soldiers, while I have billions of people. This is an invincible army of the people. It's not certain who will win! "Sima Changkong said with a determined look in his eyes.
"Good. Go ahead!" Takeshi Ryūshin nodded.
Infinite Celestial Capital.
Following a loud boom, the Limitless Celestial Capital slowly started to move, drifting towards the north bit by bit.
For the sake of the Dahan Empire's prosperity, the people were not against the Infinite Celestial Capital's movement. Only some traveling merchants were not used to it. However, under the guidance of the Guqin Crown Prince, many conflicts were easily resolved.
The Infinite Celestial Capital was drifting towards the north of the divine continent. Spies quickly sent news back to their respective factions. For a moment, the experts of the four factions were extremely anxious. Enter the north? Were they trying to conquer the world?
However, the declaration not long ago had made it even clearer. If they helped the Great Wu Empire now, they would fight to the death with the Dahan Empire. The tyrannical power of the Dahan Empire made the four factions apprehensive, but no one dared to interfere.
In the study.
Gu Hai sat behind his desk. In front of him stood the black-robed Chang Ming.
"Has it begun?" Gu Hai asked in a low voice.
"Yes, Your Majesty. All the Blood Robed Guards in Martial Sky City have started to stir up public opinion. They are discussing Sima Changkong's loyalty everywhere! They are trying to sow discord between them, "Chang Ming said with a smile.
"Public opinion? Ha, if it was Takeshi Ryūshin, he would definitely not care about this. He trusts Sima Changkong, which is why he dares to use Sima Changkong. But Mr. Silvermoon can't! He will be suspicious! "Gu Hai said with a smile.
"Your Majesty is so sure?"
"Mr. Silvermoon is smart, but lacking in grand schemes. Otherwise, why would he only occupy Silvermoon City when he had already reached the pinnacle of the dao of the zither? Without great talent and strategy, he only knows how to scheme. It is not enough to support a country! "Gu Hai said with a cold smile.
"But this is just public opinion. It might not enter Mr. Silvermoon's ears."
"He has a trusted aide, Mr. Six-Fingered, right?" Gu Hai said with a smile.
"That's right. Mr. Six-Fingered's hearing is amazing. The Blood Robed Guards are discussing this in various taverns. If Sima Changkong is turned into a zombie descendant, there will be no more worries! Mr. Six-Fingered will definitely report this to Mr. Silvermoon! "Chang Ming said.
"If my guess is correct, this discussion has already reached Mr. Silvermoon's ears!" Gu Hai said with a smile.
"Will Mr. Silvermoon turn Sima Changkong into a zombie descendant?" Chang Ming asked.
"Not now!" Gu Hai shook his head.
"Then we …"
"We can add fuel to the fire and tear apart the trust between the ruler and his minister …" Gu Hai said with a smile.
"Oh?"
