The mysterious world: Start working hard from the beggar camp!

Chapter 544: Li Zicheng, who is full of pride, has mixed feelings after his strength has greatly increased
"Li Zicheng, you are so despicable!"

"You actually disregarded the overall interests of our rebel army and brazenly attacked me. Sooner or later, you will follow in my footsteps and die a miserable death!"

Gao Yingxiang, who had just evacuated his troops to the Tianzhu Mountain Grand Canyon at the junction of Huguang and Yunnan and Guizhou, never expected that he would be surrounded and attacked by Li Zicheng, who had been planning for a long time!

Moreover, this guy Li Zicheng not only had a fortuitous encounter, but also obtained a life-saving artifact.

His cultivation base miraculously broke through to the middle stage of level six. He locked onto Gao Yingxiang in the battle. After the two sides fought for more than a dozen rounds, he used his own divine weapon, the Pure Yang Sword, and pierced Gao Yingxiang's heart!
"Humph!"

"Gao Yingxiang, your era is over!"

Li Zicheng shouted disdainfully at Gao Yingxiang before his death, "Only the fittest survive, and the strong are respected!"

"Where do all these karmas come from? In history, only the winner takes all!"

"Just go with peace of mind! I will treat your rebel soldiers well!"

"Die!"

After saying that, he drew out a middle-grade innate divine sword, shook his wrist, and a cold light flashed, piercing the opponent's sea of ​​consciousness right between the eyebrows.

After killing Gao Yingxiang's soul, the sword flashed again, and he cut off the opponent's head, picked it up on the tip of the sword and raised it high. He looked coldly at the battlefield that had not yet ended in all directions. With his full energy and divine thoughts, he transmitted his words to the ears of all the soldiers on both sides of the enemy: "Gao Yingxiang is dead, why don't you surrender? When will you surrender?"

"I, Li Zicheng, promise that you will not be killed if you surrender, and I will treat everyone equally from now on!"

The news of Gao Yingxiang's killing caused an uproar among the soldiers on both sides.

The battle situation was already one-sided, and completely leaned towards Li Zicheng's side.

"General Sun, our situation is hopeless, why not surrender to Li Zicheng!"

"Otherwise, it would be totally unworthy to die in vain!"

Gu Junen, Gao Yingxiang's military advisor, knew very well that if their side continued to resist stubbornly, they would only be surrounded and killed.

As a scholar, he was naturally very afraid of death, just like most of the scholars in the Ming Dynasty, so he hurriedly conveyed the message to Sun Shoufa, a general under Gao Yingxiang.

Sun Shoufa, together with Liu Guoneng and Huang Long, were known as the three great generals under Gao Yingxiang.

Among them, Sun Shoufa and Liu Guoneng were given key training by Gao Yingxiang with the help of the cultivation resources he obtained through a fortuitous encounter. They have recently broken through to the initial stage of level six.

Sun Shoufa was the most talented general who was highly regarded by Gao Yingxiang. The number of soldiers he led was the largest and strongest among all the generals under King Chuang.

"Hey……"

Sun Shoufa forced back Li Guo who was attacking him with one blow, and sighed with sorrow. He didn't want to die in this battle, so he sent a message to Gu Jun'en who was not far away and put forward his suggestion, "King Chuang is dead, what can we do?"

"Down!"

He then looked at Li Guo who was attacking again, "Forget it, we surrender!"

With the surrender of King Chuang's soldiers led by Gu Junen and Sun Shoufa, Liu Guoneng and Huang Long naturally knew that the game was over and surrendered to their opponents Liu Zongmin and Liu Fangliang respectively.

This ambush lasted for nearly an hour and ended with Li Zicheng's complete victory.

"Hahaha……"

After successfully killing Gao Yingxiang, he incorporated the remaining 300,000 elite soldiers under the opponent's command, and also obtained three generals, Sun Shoufa, Liu Guoneng and Huang Long, which almost doubled the strength of his own men. Li Zicheng couldn't help laughing.

"From now on, I will be the King of Chuang!"

"Pass the order down, the army will rest and reorganize on the spot, and the new and old soldiers will be reorganized!"

"Li Guo, Liu Zongmin, Liu Fangliang, Hao Yaoqi! The four of you must act immediately and complete this round of reorganization as quickly as possible!"

"While Zuo Liangyu's army is currently engaged in a fierce battle with the Qin Liangyu and Lu Xiangsheng armies heading south, this is a rare opportunity for our army to expand!"

"We don't want Huguang anymore! We will head directly to the Guangdong and Guangxi regions tomorrow!"

Li Zicheng was not stupid. He knew that even if he annexed Gao Yingxiang's troops, he would not be a match for Hong Chengchou who was entrenched in the Yunnan and Guizhou regions.

Not to mention the three armies of Zuo Liangyu, Lu Xiangsheng and Qin Liangyu who fought in Huguang.

The only plan now is to take advantage of the opportunity when there are no pursuers from the rear, march south in one fell swoop, capture the Guangdong-Guangxi area, and use it as a base in the future, and then develop it steadily.

The latest intelligence shows that the two armies of Luo Rucai and Zhang Xianzhong, which had already marched south to Guangxi, for some unknown reason directly abandoned the Guangdong-Guangxi region and led their rebel forces across the border and directly attacked the territory of South Vietnam.

Faced with the ferocious coalition forces of Zhang Xianzhong and Luo Rucai, those South Vietnamese monkeys were defeated step by step, had lost thousands of miles of territory in the north, and fell into dire straits.

If things go as expected, the entire Nanyue Kingdom will be replaced by the coalition forces of Zhang Xianzhong and Luo Rucai within a year at most!
"In the Nanyue Kingdom, there are quite a few Han people who have lived there throughout the ages. It is estimated that there are billions of them!"

"Once Zhang Xianzhong and Luo Rucai are allowed to run the business for a few years, their strength will surely increase dramatically."

"It's a hassle."

Li Zicheng, who has reached the middle stage of level six cultivation and has greatly increased his mental strength, is not a fool, even though he has little culture and his vision is not as broad as Luo Rucai and Zhang Xianzhong.

He had now annexed Gao Yingxiang's army as he wished, and he was also aware that Zhang Xianzhong and Luo Rucai, who were retreating to advance, were one step ahead of him in planning.

The Guangdong and Guangxi areas that he chose were stronger than the Nanyue Kingdom in all aspects, whether in terms of the number of Han people or wealth and materials, they far exceeded the domestic resources of Nanyue.

But he would soon have to face the army of the Southern Ming Dynasty. Even if he could defend the Guangdong-Guangxi region, he would have to fight a decisive battle with the Southern Ming Dynasty or even the Fuxing Army heading south in a few years.

However, the coalition forces of Zhang Xianzhong and Luo Rucai that left the Ming Dynasty were completely different.

Even if Li Dingguo finally unified the nine provinces of China, he would not attack the South Vietnam region in the short term.

If Li Dingguo had smaller ambitions, the Fuxing Army might even have stopped there.

It's not impossible.

Among all the Han dynasties throughout history, only the Qin Dynasty, the Han Dynasty and the Yongle Dynasty of the Ming Dynasty actually conquered the entire Kingdom of Nanyue and turned it into a prefecture of China.

The vast majority of Han dynasties gave up the wild and barbaric South Vietnam region, allowing the other side to establish an independent country.

"Humph!"

"Zhang Xianzhong and Luo Rucai actually made a good move. At least for a few years, they can avoid the battle for supremacy in the nine provinces of China and grow steadily without getting involved." Looking at Li Guo, Liu Zongmin, Liu Fangliang, Hao Yaoqi and others in front of him who received orders and left, and were busy at work separately, Li Zicheng had a complicated expression. He stood with his hands behind his back for a long time without moving.

But no matter how unhappy he was, he knew that he was slightly inferior to Zhang Xianzhong and Luo Rucai in terms of literary and military strategies.

After all, in the years when righteous armies rose up all over the country, the talents of Zhang Xianzhong and Luo Rucai had long been well-known, and they were not famous in vain.

Among the rebel leaders in the world today, apart from Li Dingguo who has a vision for the future, Luo Rucai is the wisest, followed by Zhang Xianzhong, and then Li Zicheng and Gao Yingxiang.

"King Chuang!"

At this time, Niu Jinxing, who was in charge of intelligence gathering for Li Zicheng's subordinates and also served as a military advisor, came together with Gu Junen who had just defected to him.

Niu Jinxing immediately changed his address to Li Zicheng and reported respectfully, "Brother Jun En just provided an urgent message."

"He discovered that the demons and monsters from various places have been gathering together to form super-large groups of the same kind."

"On his way south, he even discovered a black-armored ant colony and a bristle rat colony in the Qingxi and Dongke regions, each with a size of over 10 billion!"

"These two super-large groups of monsters each have tens of thousands of Qi Refining Realm monsters. Coupled with their massive size, even with the current number of our rebel soldiers, we would have to take a detour if we encountered them!"

Niu Jinxing looked a little panicked.

He is the most educated intellectual among the intellectuals who have joined Li Zicheng.

The more powerful Song Xiance and Li Yan were probably affected by the chain reaction of the rise of Li Dingguo's Fuxing Army and did not come to surrender.

And since these rebel armies marched south in large numbers and moved away from the Central Plains, it is estimated that Song Xiance and Li Yan, who are both visionary people, will not come to join him.

With their vision, they naturally knew that among the nine provinces of China today, only Li Dingguo had the ability to unify the world. How could he seek his own death?

Not only Li Yan, but also Lady Hong has disappeared. She is probably living in the territory occupied by the Fuxing Army.

Will she become the leader of the rebel army in the future? The probability is also very low, nine times out of ten it is impossible.

If she was in the jurisdiction of the Renaissance Army, she would have most likely participated in the Renaissance Army's combat soldier selection.

You have to know that the Renaissance Army now has two female legions, the Phoenix Legion and the Suzaku Legion, and it is impossible for them to bury a genius like Hong Niangzi.

"King Chuang!"

Gu Jun'en interrupted and said, "According to the time of the once-a-century elimination war among all races of cultivators, it is time for a new round of eliminations to begin."

"According to the intelligence continuously reported by our intelligence personnel, a new round of the great elimination war of cultivators of all races will most likely begin within a year!"

"In this vast world, our human forces are far inferior to those top demon and monster forces in terms of both the number of practitioners and combat effectiveness."

"In the land of Kyushu today, apart from the overlord Li Dingguo entrenched in Jiangbei, including the seemingly revived Southern Ming Dynasty, no one has the confidence to survive this disaster safely."

"I suggest that we let the soldiers rest for a night, seize the time, and quickly lead the army south to the Guangdong and Guangxi regions tomorrow morning."

"Only by conquering the Guangdong-Guangxi region within half a year, concentrating the manpower and material resources of the two places, and making full preparations, can we have enough strength to survive this catastrophe and not be eliminated by this historical torrent of the great elimination of cultivators from all races."

Although he knew that Li Zicheng, who had just killed Gao Yingxiang and annexed the enemy's soldiers, was now full of ambition and pride, due to the critical situation, he had to boldly pour a bucket of cold water on him.

Gu Junen, who was well-read, naturally knew the cruelty of the once-in-a-century war to eliminate cultivators from all races, which was far beyond the scale of previous wars.

Not to mention anything else, just the two huge swarms of rats and ants that he encountered on the way south with Gao Yingxiang were not something that their rebel army could defeat.

That's a tribe of monsters numbering tens of billions, and just thinking about it is terrifying.

Although there are not too many Qi Refining Realm monsters among them, even if there are tens of thousands of Qi Refining Realm monsters, led by a sixth-level demon king, they are enough to engulf their own rebel army.

To deal with such a large number of monsters, without a stable base and a protective formation to assist in defense, you will not be able to defeat them at all.

"damn it!"

"This round of elimination war for all races' practitioners didn't come earlier or later, but it came at this critical moment. I am so angry!"

Just as Gu Junen expected, Li Zicheng, who was full of ambition and success, suddenly heard the bad news. He felt a chill in his heart and started cursing in anger.

He is ambitious and has great aspirations.

Otherwise, he would not have risked damaging his reputation and brazenly launched an ambush on King Chuang Gao Yingxiang.

Now that he had gotten what he wanted, he ended up hearing this shocking news, so he was naturally shocked and angry.

He is a genius and a genius. He cannot be said to be knowledgeable, but he is definitely not a mediocre person.

He had also heard about how cruel the once-in-a-century war to eliminate cultivators from all races in this vast world was.

"So, Li Dingguo, who is entrenched in the Jiangbei area, and Hong Chengchou, who occupies the Yunnan-Guizhou area, have been recuperating recently. This is most likely related to the outbreak of the great catastrophe of all races in the future!"

Li Zicheng was not stupid. After a little thought, he was able to guess some things.

Of course, the news that the Fuxing Army had recently started overseas expansion after destroying Huang Taiji who occupied Goguryeo had not yet reached the ears of these rebel leaders.

After conquering the entire Jiangbei area, the Fuxing Army lay dormant for more than a year. It is impossible to say that there is no hidden reason.

"King Chuang."

Gu Jun'en continued to remind him with some concern, "Since ancient times, the fundamental reason for the great elimination wars of cultivators of all races in every dynasty is that the number of cultivators is too large, which exceeds the limit that the origin rules of heaven and earth can bear."

"Once there are too many practitioners in a certain faction, they will be targeted by the rules of the origin of heaven and earth, and may even suffer a backlash from their luck due to a significant loss of luck!"

"To be on the safe side, I suggest that our army quickly march south to the Guangdong-Guangxi region, capture it as soon as possible, and then adopt a strategy of selecting the best from the best to eliminate those unqualified practitioners and soldiers. This is the way to solve the fundamental problem."

"Anyway, as the spiritual energy of this world is rapidly recovering, the realms and cultivation levels of the cultivators in the various races and major forces are rapidly increasing. Those low-level combatants in the body refining realm will become increasingly useless."

"Once a strong person in the Spirit Refining Realm appears, the human wave tactics will be a joke from now on."

It has to be said that Gu Junen, who is good at imperial tactics, is quite far-sighted.

His cognition and ideas coincide with those of Li Dingguo and Cao Yongxiang.
