Chapter 420 Strengthening the background
It turned out to be a pity that the Black Mountain old demon didn't seem to notice that the portal was destroyed at all, and acted like a turtle without even making a sound.
But how is this possible, Zhong Yu clearly felt the aura of the old Heishan demon on the portal, and there was even a bit of the spirit of the old Heishan demon attached to it.
Now that the portal is destroyed, the Black Mountain old demon must have known the news, but why didn't he make a move. Zhong Yu reckoned that the war in the underworld should have reached a critical point, and the old Black Mountain demon couldn't get away and didn't dare to leave at all, so he put all his energy into the duel with Emperor Fengdu!
In any case, Zhong Yu was quite happy that the hidden dangers in the territory of the Ming Dynasty were eliminated, which meant that his territory would be completely stabilized in the future.
However, looking at the layout of the old demon of Montenegro, other empires should have such a portal in each country. Zhong Yu has some guesses about where exactly it is.
But he didn't plan to say it out. After finishing his affairs, he can make a fortune in silence and slowly accumulate strength.
As for the hidden dangers of other countries, Zhong Yu also plans to wait for the old black mountain monster to come out and give those countries a hard time, so that he can have a chance to fish in troubled waters and take advantage of the fire?
After all, no matter how you look at it, Zhong Yu's current strength is still too weak compared to other countries on the mainland, not even the weakest of these countries.
Even the Ming Dynasty, which has been demolished to pieces and can only linger on its last breath, can't deal with it.
Now that Zhong Yu was able to leisurely devour the territory of the Ming Dynasty here, it was because of the Great Jin Empire that held back the hands and feet of the Ming Dynasty, preventing him from stretching out his hands to deal with this little grasshopper.
In short, no matter what, half a month after the dryad grandma was wiped out, Zhong Yu confirmed that there would be no more disturbances in Lanruo Temple, and there would be no more danger.
Finally, it was decided to pull out the army and continue to attack the remaining state capitals in the south of Jiangbei Province.
After all, although it is important to eliminate hidden dangers, the attack on the territory cannot be ignored, and it is even more important at the moment.
Although South Korea in the south of Jiangxi Province was entangled in the footsteps of the Tang Empire, and the frontier was constantly invaded by the Tang Empire's army, it was in a state of desperation, and it was impossible to move its hands and feet.
But who can guarantee that South Korea will not send a partial army to take advantage of the weakness of the Ming Dynasty to take a share of the pie.
Not many, this partial army only needs 30,000 people, plus a sixth-level commander, it can force the officials of the Ming army who are fluctuating and the whole province is full of confusion, and completely swallow Northern Jiangxi Province.
Therefore, Zhong Yu's ownership and situation of the remaining three state capitals in the south are still quite important, for fear that one of them will be bad, and South Korea in the south will take the lead and seize the opportunity.
When these state capitals are stationed by South Korean troops, whether to send troops to take them back is still a very serious issue, which deserves Zhong Yu's careful consideration.
After all, although it seems that there is no strong threat around Zhong Yu. Daming in the north was already half-crippled, and was being aggressive by Da Jin, so he didn't have the energy to deal with his rebellion.
South Korea and Wei are also facing war. Although the situation is much better than that of the Ming Dynasty, facing the huge military power of the Tang Empire, there is no extra power to annex the gap left by the Ming Dynasty.
But this is only theoretical.
The power of the whole country of Korea has millions of troops. These are standing troops. On this continent where there is no war all year round, all countries have an extremely large number of regular troops to protect their country from being bullied and annexed by other countries, and Use it for opportunistic expansion.
600,000 points of Daehan's million-strong army are in southern Xinjiang to resist the attack of the Tang Empire. There is also a place where masters gather. There are 15 sixth ranks in Daehan, and 4 seventh ranks sitting here all year round. This is already close to 70% of the strength of Daehan's master level.
In order to make up for these combat powers, among the 23 provinces of Korea, the 12 safe provinces in the interior do not have a combat power above Tier 6, and all of them are weak chickens at the peak of Tier 5 as the governors.
As for the eighth rank of Dahan, he has been sitting in the imperial capital all year round, and he has not seen him for hundreds of years, and no one knows whether he is dead or alive.
But even so, no one dared to risk death to test the existence of this strong man.
Fortunately, it seems that the war between Daehan Nammyeon and the Tang Empire is really urgent, and no extra power can be drawn.
It also seems that Daehan has no intention of competing for the territory of the Ming Dynasty. During the entire process of Zhong Yu's attack on Jiangbei Province, none of Daehan's frontier troops were dispatched at all, and they all huddled in Daxing's border cities obediently, acting as A turtle with a shrinking head.
So when Zhong Yu solved the danger of Lanruo Temple, the destruction of the tree demon quickly spread throughout the entire northern Jiangxi province with the deployment of the army.
With the power to destroy the tree demon, Zhong Yu directly forced the governor of northern Jiangxi Province to surrender, and asked him to surrender with all 70,000 frontier troops in the province, which made Zhong Yu's strength skyrocket again.
You know, the troops in northern Jiangxi Province are all frontier troops. Although they have not seen war for many years and are much more at ease, they have not lost the slightest bit of training and have reached the quality and strength that a regular army should have.
With the addition of a sixth-level governor, who is still in the middle of the sixth level, not considered a weak person, Zhong Yu can be said to have added a bit of strength for no reason, and his background has become deeper and deeper.
And after the trip to Lanruo Temple, as one of the protagonists in this plot, Yan Chixia didn't know whether it was because of her love for eliminating the tree demon, or because of Zhong Yu's real fire of the sun, or because of Zhong Yu's government. won his admiration.
After Yan Chixia wiped out the dryad grandmother, she formally asked Zhong Yu for her allegiance, and Zhong Yu happily accepted it.
Just strolling around in this northern Jiangxi province, Zhong Yu harvested about 100,000 troops and surrendered, plus two sixth-tier recruits, his strength increased by almost 1/10, which can be called a great increase in power.
Just after the surrender of the entire northern Jiangxi Province, Zhong Yu's next target, Jiangxi Province, had not received instructions from the Ming court for a long time when the general situation was over.
Similarly, the other fronts dispatched by Zhong Yu also reported frequent successes.
In the case that their own camp also has Tier 6, and there are even more of them, the defenders of the Ming Dynasty can't stop them at all, especially in such a situation where people's hearts are scattered.
It didn't take long for the six southern provinces to be conquered by Zhong Yu's imperial army within three months, and they were completely merged into the imperial territory, shocking the surrounding countries.
Among the six provinces, except for the governor of one province who was not open-eyed, his loyalty to the Ming Dynasty reached an extreme level, and he swore to the death.
As a result, he was besieged by three sixth ranks from Zhong Yu's side and died unexpectedly. Then the province was pacified.
This time in the conquest of the six southern provinces, in addition to the surrender of the governors of the five provinces and the surrender of Yan Chixia, there were also three wandering strongmen from various places, and the masters of the local aristocratic sects took refuge in it, which greatly enriched Zhong. Reserve of masters above Tier 6 of Yu.
At the same time, during the conquest period, two sixth-rank powerhouses were born in the four eastern provinces. Feeling Zhong Yu's righteous deeds and strength, they joined the Yu Kingdom's camp.
At this moment, Zhong Yu's Yuguo plus the powerhouses he cultivated already have 23 sixth-level players, and Zhong Yu also broke through to the seventh level in the process of conquering the six southern provinces, completely having his own master heritage.
When the 23 sixth-level numbers were put on the table, everyone knew that a new empire was about to rise, and the only difference was that a peerless eighth-level powerhouse suppressed luck.
