Chapter 1081.
The country of the extreme west, Great Qin, is the newest enemy of Great Zhou.
And this enemy exceeded the original Great Yan and Great Qi in terms of territory, population and scale of strength.
The heritage is even much deeper than the newborn Great Zhou!
Aside from a handful of merchants who came from afar, the original Da Liang had no interaction with Da Qin, only knowing that this country was tens of thousands of miles away, separated by endless mountain ranges and the vast Gobi Desert.
When the ambitious Great Zhou tried to build a unified empire, the collision with the western Qin happened unexpectedly and reasonably.
The war between the two sides first broke out in the western border of Daqi.
At first, Great Qin only sent small groups of rangers to invade the border, scouting and raiding the outer areas of the Western Frontier.
But soon the invasion became larger, and even a whole army corps appeared.
The Great Qin people consisted of the Hua and the Western tribes, the Hua were similar to the Yan and Qi people, 100% sharing the same origins.
On the other hand, the Western race is the development of the aboriginal natives, and its physical appearance has obvious differences with the Chinese race, similar to the difference between Europeans and Asians in Wang Chen’s previous life.
The establishment of Great Qin was the result of thousands of years of war, during which time it rose and fell, swallowing up countless countries and tribes.
As a result, the people of Great Qin are very brave and good at martial arts, and their individual fighting strength is very strong, with their own martial arts system.
There are even hundreds of Taoist palaces in their territory, and they pay great attention to the use of spells in war.
Not only that, the Qin army also has artillery and cannons, although the technology is not comparable to that of the Great Zhou, they are developing at a fast pace.
The senior management of Great Zhou speculated that Great Qin’s artillery and cannon manufacturing technology was in all likelihood passed on by the exiled Yan and Qi people.
Then they quickly absorbed it and applied it!
The potential of this country was unfathomable.
It was the realization of the great threat of the Great Qin that compelled Wu Bing to call for an army to go north for a personal conquest when the country was not yet completely calm.
Currently the empress was sitting in the original Da Qi kingdom, fighting against the Great Qin army coming from the west together with Ling Zhiyuan.
The war between the two sides had been going on for the better part of a year.
Although they had the advantage in new war technologies such as artillery and cannons, Great Qin’s military strength greatly exceeded Great Zhou’s, and the Qin cavalry was even more formidable, so Great Zhou had been on the defensive, and the situation was quite bad.
The situation was bad, but there was still no big problem in holding the several fortresses in the western border.
However, the Great Zhou army had fought with the Qin army many times, and Ling Zhiyuan himself hadn’t been able to take much advantage of them.
This was because inside the enemy, there were super strong people who were able to fight against him!
As for the enemy that invaded Hanhai County, their origins were very complicated.
Earlier, the Dao Palace side captured a few enemies and asked for a lot of information with the help of spells.
The main force of the invaders were a few large tribes from the southwestern part of the original Great Yan, and after the fall of the Great Yan, they immediately begged for mercy and bowed down to Wu Jiu, and thus were able to retain their territories and wealth.
This is mainly because the fall of Yan is too fast, Zhou want to completely digest without a few decades can not do, so these willing to surrender to the local forces to give preferential treatment.
Otherwise, if they were all conquered by force, it would be too easy to inspire resistance, and the cost would be too much to bear.
However, these tribes were only superficially obedient, and when Wu Jiu went north to fight against Qin, they immediately began to rebel, colluding with a group of Yan remnants to invade Hanhai.
The total number of enemy troops exceeded 300,000, but their commander-in-chief was not a clan leader or a Yan national.
Instead, it was a noble from Great Qin!
The reason why these tribes dared to stir up a storm of rebellion was precisely because they had the support of Great Qin behind them.
Great Qin had not only contributed money and equipment, but had also dispatched expert powerhouses and officer-generals to help and direct the actions of this rebel army.
Their primary goal was to take down the Hanhai Dao Palace and destroy the remains of Wang Duan, the supreme state master in the hearts of the people of Great Zhou!
After capturing the Hanhai Dao Palace, the rebels would then capture Hanhai City and then make waves in the southwest region of the Great Zhou, thus holding back Wu Jie and Ling Zhiyuan who were in the north.
It had to be said that this move was quite poisonous.
By utilizing the remnants of Yan’s power, the Great Qin side was able to bring great trouble to Great Zhou.
But they had not expected at all that Wang Chen had actually resurrected!
“It’s fortunate that you came back in time.”
Shiyun revealed a faint smile, “My slave thought that I wouldn’t be able to see you again in this life.”
She uttered the words she hadn’t finished earlier, then contentedly held Wang Chuan’s hand and pressed it to her face.
Wang Chen lovingly lowered his head and kissed her on the forehead, saying, “Rest well, and leave the rest to me.”
“Uh-huh.”
Shyun nodded and yawned.
Her injuries had not yet healed, her body was very weak, and she was already tired after saying so many words.
After a few moments, she had already fallen into a deep sleep.
Wang Dust sat with her for a long time before carefully drawing back her hand.
Emotionless may not be a true hero, how can a compassionate son not be a husband!
He didn’t want to leave Shyun in the Cangqing Realm unless he had to.
However, if he wanted to bring Shyun to ascend to the Upper Realm, Wang Chen had to advance to the YuanYing Great Realm and have a much deeper grasp of this world.
Take your time.
When Wang Dust walked out of the room, the group of people guarding the corridor outside saluted in unison, “Lord State Master!”
“No need to be polite!”
Wang Dust waved his hand impatiently and pointed at a few Daoist nuns, “You are responsible for taking care of the Grand Heavenly Master and report back to me in time if anything happens.”
The few Daoist nuns hurriedly bowed their heads, “Yes.”
Wang Chen said to that general officer who brought himself here again, “Go, let’s go to Hanhai City.”
That general officer revealed an excited look, “As ordered!”
Although the guard force on the Dao Palace’s side was almost crippled, there were at most a few hundred warriors who could fight in one piece.
However, having seen Wang Dust’s divine might in sweeping away thousands of troops single-handedly, he didn’t think there was anything wrong with Wang Dust’s order.
He even felt great excitement!
Wang Dust then took out an elixir bottle and handed it to the female physician next to him, “This is filled with a healing elixir, one elixir is melted with a vat of water, and is given to all those who are injured.”
After a pause, he added, “Those with serious injuries should drink more!”
Even if than the rules of the world suppressed the medicinal effects, an elixir from the Haotian Realm was not something that ordinary people could afford.
Shikyun was now at the cultivation strength of a Great Celestial Master, so it was no problem to take one, those warriors would have to take it diluted.
The female physician fearfully accepted the dan bottle with both hands, “As you command.”
Wang Chen nodded slightly before leaving the side hall with the general officer.
He left the task of organizing the manpower to the other party, while he himself ascended the palace wall to inspect the situation over at Hanhai City.
Woo~
As a result, Wang Chen had just gone up when he heard the sound of a pale and low horn coming from afar.
The enemy forces besieging Hanhai City had begun to retreat.
