"Zhao Xianfeng does not have the means and courage. There must be someone else behind this breach of the dike to stop the enemy."

Phantom thought of Zhan Ying.

Phantom is very familiar with this tactic of exterminating descendants, it is almost exactly the same as that of the military god Li Tielan.

After the Battle of Dragon Gate three years ago, Phantom had already learned that Zhan Ying was Li Tielan's successor.

Including the Battle of Eagle Beak Cliff, it was the appearance of millions of militiamen led by Zhan Ying that turned the tide of the war and caused Gu Yuqi's entire army to be wiped out.

Some time ago, Zhan Ying suddenly appeared in the East China Sea with thousands of five-toothed ships. In just a few days, he picked up a large number of human defenders at Shanhaiguan.

In this battle to break the embankment and block the enemy, if there is no shadow of Zhan Ying behind it, even if the phantom is killed, it will not be believed.

"With only 70,000 human soldiers and millions of helpless civilians, An Wenxiu's million-strong army was wiped out. Zhan Ying, you are really good at it."

I have to say that Phantom admires this move very much.

An Wenxiu's million-strong army alone cannot pose much of a threat to China.

An Wenxiu could only occupy the Central Plains at most.

If he wants to capture Xuzhou or invade the Huangshan defense line, he must join forces with the 1.8 million celestial force in Shanhaiguan.

Now the main force of An Wenxiu's army has been eaten up, and there are only a small number of mopping up troops in Lu and western Shanxi.

The Tianjie East Road army that entered Shanhaiguan alone could only defeat Xuzhou at most.

Further south, there is the Huangshan Defense Line carefully deployed by the Jiangnan War Zone.

If Phantom sends reinforcements, it will take at least two or three months to arrive.

Zhan Ying only used one move to delay the war until next year.

And this trick can be used more than once.

To the south of Huangyan River is the Huai River and the Grand Canal.

If another embankment is raised near the Wuhekou of the Huai River during the flood season, although the lethality is not as good as this one, it will definitely be able to stop the heavenly army from moving south.

To the south of the Huaihe River is the Yangtze River.

Phantom's idea of ​​occupying the last piece of food and grass in the world before winter this year was completely washed away by this great flood.

"Well, this catastrophic battle is finally a little interesting."

Phantom's eyes flickered and he murmured to himself.

Cangyun Mountain, Samsara Peak.

Yujizi study room.

The arrival report from the imperial court has been passed on, and Gu Jianchi is carefully reporting to Yu Jizi what happened in Huang Yanhe.

After Yujizi heard this, he remained silent for a long time.

Gu Jianchi said: "Master, should we send a letter to the new emperor and ask him to write an edict of sin against himself?"

"Edict to sin?"

"Yes, the embankment is too damaging. Millions of people on the north bank of the Huangyan River have been buried in the floods. The yellow flood area formed will probably not be undone in half a year, and it will definitely arouse public resentment..."

Yu Jizi said calmly: "Although I know that Zhao Xianfeng is only taking the blame, there must be someone else behind this matter, and the new emperor must also know about it.

However, this matter was done by Zhao Xianfeng alone, and he could only do it alone. The new emperor must not be implicated, otherwise, as you said, it will arouse public resentment.

Not only can we Cangyun Sect not question the new emperor about this matter, we must also stand on a united front with the new emperor and use Cangyun Sect’s eyes and ears all over the world to make the world believe that the excavation of the embankment has nothing to do with the new emperor and is Zhao Xianfeng’s fault.

It’s the work of one person.”

The jade machine pattern still exists.

After Gu Jianchi learned about this, his first thought was to ask the new emperor to give an explanation to the people of the world.

But Yu Jizi is thinking about the overall stability of the world.

The loss of the capital and the fall of the late emperor have made the people of the world lose confidence in this catastrophe.

If the digging of the embankment of the Huangyan River is blamed on the new emperor at this time, the court's credibility will be reduced to its lowest point.

Yu Jizi could only come forward to appease the people and put all the blame for this matter on the head of Zhao Xianfeng, who had died for his country. Only in this way could the authority of the new emperor be guaranteed to the greatest extent.

Gu Jianchi nodded silently and said, "I'll do it right away."

Yu Jizi said: "An Wenxiu's entire army has been wiped out, and there won't be any major wars in the Central Plains in the next few months.

I will use this time as my master to practice in seclusion, and I will leave all matters concerning Cangyun to you."

Gu Jianchi said: "Master, this disciple is stupid. Nowadays, the world of cultivation is changing, and I'm afraid it will be difficult for him to control it."

Yu Jizi said: "Don't worry, I will be out of seclusion within a month at most this time."

Gu Jianchi felt relieved when he heard that Yu Jizi would only be in seclusion for a month.

After Gu Jianchi left the study, Yu Jizi activated the mechanism in the study and walked into the secret passage.

He did not go to the cave where he had retreated.

And along the passage, we came to the back mountain.

Not long after, Yu Jizi stood on a rock in the back mountain. Looking from a distance, the ancestral hall was faintly visible.

Yu Jizi did not go to the ancestor's ancestral hall.

He came to the rock wall where he fought against Demon Xiaoyu last time.

Looking at the sword hole already covered with dust.

He sucked the palm of his hand, and a long blue sword flew out from the sword hole at his feet.

It is the God-killing Demon Sword!

Yu Jizi knew the terrifying demonic power of this magic sword and did not dare to reach out and touch it, lest he lose his mind again.

He quickly put the magic sword into the storage bracelet, and then disappeared instantly.

Just as he disappeared, the old demon Xiaoyu appeared here.

Looking at the empty sword hole at his feet, Yao Xiaoyu frowned slightly.

"He took away God Killer?"

Only she and Yu Jizi knew that Zhu Shen had always been embedded in this rock.

Now that Zhu Shen is gone, he must have been taken away by Yu Jizi.

Demon Xiaoyu's eyes were full of worry.

Ye Xiaochuan yawned and walked out of the cave.

The first person I met was Hu Er.

A tall and graceful girl whose beard has grown out.

Under the careful guidance of Qin Guichen, his cultivation has improved very quickly, and he is now a monk in the Yuanshen realm.

Seeing Ye Xiaochuan, Hu'er quickly bent down and saluted, saying: "Hu'er has met Uncle Ye."

The matter between her and Dugu Changfeng has been settled. Although she did not take Ye Xiaochuan as her teacher, Hu Er, who is usually smart, calls Ye Xiaochuan Uncle Ye just like Dugu Changfeng.

Ye Xiaochuan said: "Hu'er, where are you going in such a hurry?"

Hu Er said: "We were studying at Mr. Xu's place. Mr. Xu said he was a little hungry, so I came over to get him some food."

Ye Xiaochuan said: "Mr. Xu is hungry? Didn't you prepare a meal for him? What are you still doing? Hurry up and get something to eat for Mr. Xu. Mr. Xu has a bad tooth and mouth, so don't mess with meat and bones..."

Hu'er said: "I understand."

Just as Hu Er was about to leave, Ye Xiaochuan said again: "Where are Huang Quan and the others? I haven't seen them since the end of the award ceremony."

Hu'er said: "They have been studying at Mr. Xu's place these days."

"Studying? Not bad, good, making progress..."
