Chapter 340: Sweeping the World
After the defeat in Hengduan Mountains, all of Li Shiwen's official positions and honors disappeared.
At the beginning of this war, he participated in the war as an ordinary soldier.
But on the one hand, he was extremely brave and had made many contributions since the war; on the other hand, Beichu had been losing and losing, and many generals had died.
Now, he was a lieutenant general again.
Now that Xuanqin and Beichu have entered a confrontation phase and there are few battles, Li Shiwen is responsible for the defense of Wuyi City.
When Qin Ran and Li Shiyin found him, he was patrolling on the city wall with a team of soldiers.
... He remembered Qin Ran's words in his mind and patrolled every day to prevent anyone from setting up an array near Wuyi City.
Qin Ran called him over and said, "We went to the Xuan Qin military camp today and stabilized the Yuanying stage cultivators. Xuan Qin will not send troops to attack the city in the short term."
"Did you go to the Xuan Qin military camp?" Li Shiwen frowned. He looked at Qin Ran and Li Shiyin. The two masters and apprentices were standing side by side with relaxed expressions. He asked, "Are you injured?"
"How could you be injured?" Li Shiyin came to him, stretched out her hand to wipe the snow off his armor, and said arrogantly, "As powerful as I am, they are the ones who are injured!"
Li Shiwen glanced at her and didn't bother to pay attention.
"I am indeed not injured. I know how to do things." Qin Ran smiled.
Li Shiwen understood Qin Ran's words. He nodded and felt relieved.
After a pause, he looked at Qin Ran and asked, "I am only a general now, and I am not actually involved in military affairs. You can tell the general about this information yourself. Why do you tell me all of it? I will report it to the general later."
Last time, Qin Ran also told him about the important information about Xuan Qinzhi not only in Beichu, but also did not report it directly to Li Zhan.
Li Shiwen was a little puzzled.
"We are of the same age and generation, so it is easier to talk..." Qin Ran coughed dryly and said truthfully, "The general makes me nervous. There is actually no special reason."
"Ah?" Li Shiwen was stunned when he heard it.
In his mind, Qin Ran was a kind of immortal master. At least he was an image of a strategist with good strategies and a thousand miles of vision. Regarding Qin Ran's unwillingness to meet Li Zhan, he had already thought about the dark side.
But he never expected that it was this reason!
He realized that Qin Ran's identity as a cultivator always made him subconsciously ignore Qin Ran's age. He always thought that Qin Ran was very old. But at this time, he suddenly realized that Qin Ran was only a few years older than him.
Li Shiwen looked at Qin Ran again. He was wearing a green shirt and looked elegant and refined. He was standing in the snow, just a young scholar.
He didn't know what to say for a moment.
"Hey, Daddy is so fierce. Who likes to talk to him?" Li Shiyin said at this time.
Li Shiwen thought it made sense. Although he is now married and has children, he still thinks Li Zhan is very scary.
"With Shiyin in charge of Wuyi City, Xuanqin will not attack the city before the beginning of spring." Qin Ran walked to the parapet, leaned against the wall, and said to Li Shiwen, "Because they can never deal with the sword energy with sword intent."
Li Shiwen looked at the purple star sword energy standing in front of the city gate and sighed again. He knew that his sister was very powerful, but every time, she would let him know that she was more powerful than he thought.
"Sword energy, sword intent, this thing is very powerful!?" he asked.
"Sword Qi is actually very common. Generally, any sword cultivator with a little talent can comprehend it. Sword Intention is relatively rare, but it is not a rare thing." Qin Ran said with a smile, "But sword intention plus sword Qi is indeed relatively rare."
Li Shiyin reached out and patted Li Shiwen's shoulder, leaned against him, looked at the sword Qi outside the city, and said proudly: "Now you know how powerful I am?!"
"Yes, yes, you are the most powerful." Li Shiwen said perfunctorily.
There was fine snow in the sky, and the sword Qi of the stars was isolated in the snow, which actually had a sense of vicissitudes since ancient times.
Qin Ran looked up at the snow falling from the gray sky, and suddenly sighed: "But no matter how powerful Shi Yin is, she can only guarantee that they will not attack the city before the beginning of spring, but cannot make them withdraw. Even if they come to attack the city in the beginning of next spring, the situation is still not optimistic."
"Your Majesty has sent people to Dayan and Yanhan to lobby, and they are all very powerful people..." Li Shiwen said, "With the information you gave, I believe they will withdraw soon. Wuyi City will soon receive reinforcements."
"This is just one of the points..." Qin Ran said, "Another key point is that if the stalemate continues, if Xuan Qin fails to break the city for too long, then Yuntianmen will definitely send cultivators again, and the ones who come will definitely be Yuanying sword cultivators.
"So, we have a time limit." He sighed, "Before the beginning of spring, before Yuntianmen sends Yuanying sword cultivators, this is actually our time to attack and our time to break through. If we miss this opportunity, Beichu will be in danger. "
Qin Ran instigated two Yuanying cultivators from Wuyin Sword Sect to rebel. These two cultivators would cause some damage during Xuan Qin's first two attacks. But when Yuntian Sect sent more Yuanying cultivators, they would definitely withdraw directly.
At that time, it would be impossible to defend it anyway, and Qin Ran would most likely deceive other sects by deceiving the two cultivators from Wuyin Sword Sect.
He knew that would make other sects in Beichu take action. But, by that time, Beichu would most likely be gone.
Qin Ran turned around and looked out from the parapet. He sighed, "The seven countries in the world all knew that Qin was ambitious and had the ambition to sweep the world and sweep across the universe. However, they ultimately failed to stop Qin from destroying their own countries. Qin pushed forward one country after another and unified the world.
"Is Qin's strength stronger than the six countries combined? No.
"This can be said to be the general trend of the world and a historical necessity.
"But, it can also be said to be dominoes, or an avalanche. Have you ever seen an avalanche? A little bit of snow piles up and rolls down the mountain, getting bigger and bigger, and finally like a raging force, unstoppable. "
He stretched out his hand to catch the falling snowflakes. "Xuan Qin's destruction of Bei Chu was the first snowflake, the beginning of the avalanche. Once Xuan Qin crossed Wuyi City, the general trend would take shape and it would be a foregone conclusion. The avalanche was not only Bei Chu that could not be stopped, but also the other five countries in this immortal land. "
"Wuyi City is the key to Emperor Xuan Qin's game. He will definitely give his all for it! "The snowflakes melted in his hands," and the best thing is that this is something that other people in this immortal land don't know. They don't care about the high and mighty immortal sects now.
"This is a stealing card, and it's also an open card."
Li Shiwen suddenly couldn't understand what Qin Ran was saying. He could only roughly understand that Wuyi City was crucial.
He frowned and asked, "Are you saying that Wuyi City is doomed to fail?"
"No, I mean, the key to victory is right now." Qin Ran turned his palm downward, "There is only one way to win, that is to crush Xuan Qin to death before he gets going!"
The gray sky was covered with white snow. Qin Ran stood on the top of the city, stretched out his hand, opened his palm, and pressed forward. The world was in his hands.
