Ten days later, Ye Qiu swept through the enemy lines with unstoppable momentum, encountering no opponents and killing off most of the rebels.
The remaining rebels, seeing that the situation was not good, surrendered one after another.
But there was one state that was not afraid of Ye Qiu's aggressive advance.
This state is located north of the Great Xia Dynasty, close to the frigid northern lands. The leader of the Wentian Sect, who reigns in this place, established the Northern Dynasty, proclaimed himself the Northern Emperor, and has already amassed an army of 300,000.
"Emperor Wu, only the Northern Dynasty of the Northern Province remains. Once we take over the Northern Dynasty, the Great Xia will be completely at peace." The old beast tamer walked behind Ye Qiu with a broad smile.
At this moment, he is very glad that he chose to submit.
If he had chosen the wrong path back then, he would probably be long gone by now.
Ye Qiu gazed northward and said calmly, "It's just that the rebels have been suppressed. In fact, there are still many extraordinary forces within the Great Xia. They are no weaker than these forces that call themselves kings. It would be most troublesome if these people caused trouble within the Great Xia territory."
“That’s true,” the old beast tamer said seriously. “Because they’re not rebelling, it’s just small-scale fighting. If we were to make a big fuss about it, it wouldn’t be good.”
"Therefore, the Great Xia needs new laws to restrain these extraordinary forces."
Ye Qiu narrowed his eyes slightly, already having a detailed plan in mind.
Twenty days later, Ye Qiu led an army of 100,000 to the North and arrived at the foot of Han City.
Hancheng is a border town in the far north. If this town is captured, we can advance unimpeded and sweep into the heart of the north.
On the city wall, the Northern Dynasty's general, holding his sword, looked down at Ye Qiu with an arrogant expression: "Emperor Wu of Xia, you should go back. The far north is not something you can touch. You should leave now. Our Northern Dynasty and your Great Xia will keep to ourselves and stand side by side in the east."
"You dare to speak to me?"
Ye Qiu raised his hand, and the Immortal-Slaying Sword swiftly pierced through the sky, heading straight for the Northern Dynasty general.
The Northern Dynasty general's expression changed, and he immediately took action to defend himself.
But the Immortal-Slaying Sword struck with incredible speed, and with a whoosh, easily severed his head.
"General Yun..."
"Yun is dead."
Chaos erupted on the city wall.
"Attack the city."
Ye Qiu immediately gave the order.
"kill."
"kill."
Ye Qiu's 100,000 troops, together with the beast army at the front, immediately began their attack on the city, creating a formidable force.
Boom, boom.
The sound of the impact on the city gate was like muffled thunder, resounding throughout the heavens and earth.
After a dozen or so attacks, the city gate was breached, and Ye Qiu's soldiers stormed in.
Because the beast army led the way, Ye Qiu's army did not lose a single soldier and easily swept through.
Half an hour later, the road leading to the city was awash in blood, and the stubborn defenders were all killed without exception.
To Ye Qiu's surprise, there were only 30,000 garrison troops in the city.
"Spread the word that anyone in the city who is willing to join my army should come and sign up immediately to help me suppress the rebels."
Ye Qiu ordered his men to spread the news.
The news caused a sensation in Hancheng.
Then, countless people flocked to join Ye Qiu's army.
In just two days, Ye Qiu recruited more than 500,000 people.
Ye Qiu was very satisfied with the result and led his army to continue their journey.
Along the way, Ye Qiu continued to expand his team.
After capturing two cities in succession, Ye Qiu's army had reached 600,000 men.
Upon hearing this news, the people of the Northern Dynasty were terrified.
Six hundred thousand people, if each of them spits out a mouthful, that's enough to give them a hard time.
But the shock was far from over. After Ye Qiu captured two more cities in the north, his army had reached 800,000 men.
The 800,000 people were all cultivators, and their aura was overwhelming.
...
Northern Dynasties, Imperial Palace.
Upon learning this news, the Northern Emperor immediately slumped onto his dragon throne.
"Northern Emperor, what should we do now? If we fight head-on, I feel... I feel..."
Below, an old man hesitated, his face pale.
"How far away are they from us?" the Northern Emperor asked.
"Less than fifty li away."
"Go immediately and gather all the disciples and elders of our Wentian Sect. We will retreat together." The Northern Emperor made a decisive decision.
"yes."
The old man quickly turned around to attend to his business.
Half an hour later, the Northern Emperor led his men to escape.
When Ye Qiu led his army into the Northern Dynasty's imperial city, not a single person inside resisted.
Because all the so-called high-ranking officials of the Northern Dynasty have already fled.
After making inquiries, Ye Qiu learned of this situation but was not happy; instead, his brows furrowed.
"Brother Ye, you subdue the enemy without fighting, that's amazing, why aren't you happy?"
Wang Xiaoyu asked in a low voice.
"I suspect that the people of the Wentian Sect have fled to the far north, where ice and snow cover the land all year round. Could it be a world of its own?"
Ye Qiu seemed to be talking to himself, but it also seemed like he was talking to Wang Xiaoyu.
After thinking for a moment, Wang Xiaoyu said, "It's not necessarily impossible to survive in extremely cold places, and they are all cultivators."
"Therefore, we must wipe them out in one fell swoop, leaving no seeds of trouble behind."
Ye Qiu was filled with murderous intent.
After a few seconds of hesitation, Ye Qiu turned around and said, "Yuan Feng, come here."
"Emperor Wu, your subordinate is here."
A young man quickly approached Ye Qiu, knelt on one knee, and looked respectful.
Ye Qiu said seriously, "You take your men to reorganize the northern lands and establish a defense line. I have some business to attend to."
"yes."
Yuanfeng responded with a powerful voice.
Without much thought, Ye Qiu immediately set off.
"Brother Ye, please take me with you."
"Emperor Wu, may I...may I come along?" Lin Meng asked, looking at Ye Qiu expectantly.
