More than half of the Xiren family's territory has been annexed, and the Shiranhuo family's army entered the Xiren family's territory to help the Xiren family resist the Cao family's army.
The coalition forces stabilized their decline and fought with the Cao family's army for more than three months. The two sides fought offensively and defensively, and the battle was fierce.
Pushing the front line back to the northern area of the attack on Renjia, the Cao family's army retreated to the north of the Wei River, and the coalition forces entrenched themselves south of the Wei River.
In the autumn of the twelfth year of Jian'an.
In order to seek a decisive battle, the Cao family gathered their troops, gave up all occupied territory, regrouped their army, and assembled at Jingyang Lake in the Wei River Basin.
The coalition forces observed the movements of Cao's family and also assembled a large army. The coalition forces totaled 800,000, forcibly crossed the Wei River and assembled in Jingyang, Hunan.
In the twelfth year of Jian'an, winter began.
decisive battle,
Turn on.
The Cao family's army advanced by land and water to press the allied forces. The allied forces came out in full force and started a decisive battle on and by the Jingyang Lake.
This battle lasted for more than a month.
During this period, Shiranui Faze, the head of the Shiranui family, jointly attacked the head of the Shiranui family, Shirenliu, and started a battle with the giant lava phoenix in the sky.
Shiranui Fugen was seriously injured and fled back to the Shiranui family. The Shiranui family's army was led by Shiranui Qingmai.
The attacker was unable to support himself and blew himself up, seriously injuring Huofeng. Huofeng escaped and returned to the sea of fire to recover from his injuries.
Xirenren died in battle, leaving Xirenren without a leader, and people were panicking. Xirenrenyuan Jun was ordered to succeed Xirenren as the head of the Xiren family, and continued to lead Xirenren's army to fight to the death with the Cao family.
The two sworn enemies, Xiren Yuanjun and Shiranui Qingwu, united together and defeated the Cao family's army with overwhelming force.
A miserable victory.
The war is over.
Shiranui Qingwu led the Shiranui family's army and completely withdrew from the attacker's territory.
Everyone praises Shiranui's family for repaying evil with kindness, ignoring past grudges, and being generous.
The Xiren family attacked the Shiranui family, and the Shiranui family, when the Xiren family was attacked by the Cao family, resolutely led the army to help the enemy who had invaded them and fight against the powerful enemy together.
Afterwards, not even an inch of land was asked for, not a single soldier or horse was stationed at the attacker's home, and they all withdrew.
This kind of mind and structure are admired by the world.
In fact, only the three parties themselves know the real outcome.
After more than half a year of war, the three parties lost millions of troops, and they were all exhausted from the fighting.
It's not that Shiranui Qingwu doesn't want to force others to cede land, but it's because they really don't have the troops to fight.
The current military strength is only enough to defend the homeland. If we continue to fight, it will only give the Cao family an opportunity to take advantage of it.
What's more, Shiranui Qingwu has her own plans for leading the army home.
Winter Solstice in the twelfth year of Jian'an.
Shiranui Fengqin's injuries suddenly worsened, and he died in the main mansion three days later.
The whole Shiranui family mourned. Shiranui Qingwu succeeded to the throne of the family and received the complete inheritance of Heart Fire.
On the same day, Xirenyuanjun completely inherited and absorbed the cold fire of the netherworld left by Xirenliu.
The two of the four powerful men changed positions.
donkey,
Lost weight.
This donkey named Mule is very particular and has a tricky taste.
It doesn't like to eat hay, it doesn't even like to eat green grass, it only likes to eat the fresh crops in the field.
In the war that lasted for a year, countless civilians were drafted into the battlefield as civilian auxiliary soldiers, and more people died.
The flames of war first burned in the western territory of the Shiranui family, and then burned throughout the northern territory of the Kairen family.
Countless fertile fields turned into scorched earth.
There is no way to plant the land, and there is no one to plant it.
Naturally, it has no crops to eat.
Even people have nothing to eat, let alone donkeys.
The donkey doesn't eat hay, but at the risk of starving to death, it has to eat it.
But now, even hay is hard to find.
Because, it's snowing.
Hunger and cold have become the themes in this common people's world.
The ruined walls and homes destroyed by war can no longer protect them from the wind, rain, and cold wind.
After a year's harvest was cut off, they had no extra food in their stomachs.
On the roadside, there are corpses of people who died of starvation and freezing everywhere, and no one cares about them.
The war claimed the lives of millions of people.
But cold and famine took away more than tens of millions of lives.
On a cold winter night, the north wind is biting, and the howling sound is like the roar of evil spirits in hell, harvesting the few remaining lives of the refugees inch by inch.
The old man pulled some hay, broke a piece of ice by the river not far away, and placed it in front of the donkey.
Ice is used to let it lick and drink water. Although it has no effect, and the tongue often sticks to the ice cubes, at least it can moisten the throat. The donkey's stomach has always been very good, and it does not cause diarrhea no matter what it eats or drinks.
The old man patted the grass clippings on his hands and sat back by the fire.
The fire was piled in a half-collapsed house. Although it could not block the cold wind, it could also cover the snow.
Around the fire, there were seven or eight refugees, including old people, children, two middle-aged men, and Wan Lei.
Two men were holding sticks with a few pieces of steamed buns stuck on them. This was the little food they had left.
"I think of the Golden Fairy Secret Realm."
Fang Xiaoyu smiled slightly, leaned to the right, and shrank into Wan Lei's arms.
In the Golden Immortal Secret Realm, it was also a cold winter and everything was in a mess. The two of them hid in a small room, warming themselves by the fire, trying to survive.
"It's indeed very similar, but the state of mind is different. At least this time, we have cultivation and don't have to worry about starving to death or freezing to death."
"Yes, the Fire Immortal is much kinder than the Golden Immortal."
Just a bit boring.
They were so bored that they wandered from spring to winter without knowing what to do.
Without suffering from cold or hunger, Wan Lei and Fang Xiaoyu simply had no peace of mind.
Although I encountered too many human sufferings along the way.
But the joys and sorrows of people are not the same, right?
"Actually, the theme of the four secret realms is the same, that is, people are in dire straits. I don't know what the immortal wants us to see?
Do you want me to be mentally prepared so that the Lei Feng Realm will become like this after being invaded by demons, so that I can be more accepting of it?"
"Actually, I think the Wood Fairy Secret Realm is better. At the very least, it's just a simple task of killing monsters. Even if you encounter some dangers in the end, at least the task is simple and can be completed in a few days.
Looking at these three secret realms, the Golden Immortal Secret Realm has been here for more than two years, the Narcissus Secret Realm has been here for more than a year, and the Fire Immortal Secret Realm has been around for almost a year. What a waste of time. After all, we are actually almost thirty years old."
"No, the speed of improvement is really a bit slow. I heard Gouzi say that those immortals spent more than ten years practicing and became immortals. We can't be slower than them."
After all, Wan Lei has been practicing for almost ten years, and Fang Xiaoyu has been practicing since he was a child.
The refugees next to them couldn't understand what they were talking about, but they knew that the three people in front of them should be very strong. At the very least, they were rangers, not hungry refugees like them.
