More than a thousand miles sounds not short, but in fact, for the three dynasties today, this is already a very dangerous distance, not only because of the lack of territory, but more importantly, the question of people's support.

Judging from the map, the defeat of Songyu Mountain, the army led by Yuan Liang was suspected of going deeper and deeper, but psychologically, the soldiers and generals of the Daxia Dynasty might feel unmatched. In addition, the cooperation of various sub-departmental troops like Jiang Cheng, the city lords who had already received the news were not to say that they had no intention of resisting, but they would be much less.

Moreover, the prestige of the main general will also decline significantly. Zuo Feng and Jiang Cheng have also seen it. His ability is good, and he may not be inferior to Yuan Liang. This time he will lose, mainly because of the gap in military strength. On one side are elite soldiers and fierce generals, but on the other side, they are temporarily pieced together. In terms of quantity and quality, they are far less than the other party. Even if they refuse to defend the city, they are still eaten by Yuan Liang.

Therefore, although generals are important, the quality of soldiers is the same. Sometimes when the generals are at the same level and have no absolute advantage in terms of geographical advantages, the quality of soldiers can determine the direction of normal war.

Of course, many generals like to use dangers when taking a wrong move. It is not impossible to turn the tables accidentally. There is too much uncertainty on the battlefield, and no one can guarantee that they will win. This time, if Zuo Feng turns the tables, it will be a different situation. The situation of three-legged stalemate has to continue. Unfortunately, there is no if in this world.

The direct consequence of the defeat of the main force of Daxia is that a large number of cities are lost, not only in the direction of the main battlefield. The troops sent by Jiang Cheng almost effortlessly recovered the eighteen cities planned by Jiang Cheng. This is Jiang Cheng's order to conquer and defeat them. Just take down the eighteen cities. If you let go, don't look at the few soldiers, occupying forty or fifty cities, it will be fine to eat the line along the river of the Daxia Dynasty.

This is also the disadvantage of the cultivation dynasty. The superiors have stayed on it for too long and separated from the lower-level people. The one who really controls the place is the lords of a city. The royal court only needs to control these lords.

It sounds very convenient, but the result is that at this time, once the city lord chooses to turn against him, the people in the city will never have any opinions. After all, the kings are too far away from ordinary people, and there is actually no big difference who will rule them.

People's hearts become weak at this time, and people's hearts are not as important as those mentioned in history books.

Of course, it is impossible to say that it is completely useless. Zhao Yin's fortune is formed by the gathering of people's hearts, which represents the combat power of a king. The loss of a large number of cities in the Daxia Dynasty is equivalent to the loss of luck.

When Jiang Cheng and Bai Zhirou arrived at the Xia Capital, they looked up and saw that the city of the Daxia Capital was still majestic, but at this moment it gave people a sense of twilight. Compared with the strong luck above the Dakun Dynasty, the sea of ​​luck above the Daxia Capital was much weaker at this moment, and it was still weakening at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"The largest country in the past has become such a scene in two years, which is sad and lamentable!" Jiang Cheng did not enter the city, nor even approached the Xia capital. Even if the Daxia Dynasty is now in a weak fortune, once it gets closer, it will definitely be noticed by the King of Xia, just as Zhao Yin noticed his existence at the beginning.

"Why are we here?" Bai Zhirou looked at Jiang Cheng with some confusion. She remembered Jiang Cheng said that Jiang Cheng was not going to participate too much in the Xiadu affairs.

"Wait!" Jiang Cheng looked at the man of the weather and said with a smile: "I want to play a game with this King Xia!"

"Trial game?" Bai Zhirou looked at Jiang Cheng in confusion, not understanding Jiang Cheng's plan, and came from all the way to play chess. Based on Bai Zhirou's understanding of Jiang Cheng, Jiang Cheng would not do such boring things, but if Jiang Cheng didn't say it, Bai Zhirou wouldn't ask too much.

The two found a beautiful place in the mountains. Jiang Cheng began to practice. His soul realm was already very high and his cultivation level was no longer bottleneck. Now Jiang Cheng has not practiced the soul realm anymore, but has made every effort to improve his cultivation level.

The luck of the summer capital is getting weaker and weaker every day. When Jiang Cheng and his wife first came, the luck of the sky covered the sky. In just three months, it began to become thinner and could not even cover the sky. In the luck of the sky, there were wailing sounds almost every day.

Bai Zhirou looked at the sky. Although she was not from the Daxia Dynasty, she felt unspeakable discomfort in her heart as she saw the Daxia Dynasty’s fortunes decline day by day. This was the thought that arises from being in the Daxia Dynasty and being affected by the fortunes.

Jiang Cheng, who had been practicing for three months, seemed to have some awareness, suddenly opened his eyes and stopped practicing. In the past three months, he had practiced with all his strength, and his cultivation had reached the third level of the Nascent Soul.

"Are you awake?" Bai Zhirou looked at Jiang Cheng.

"Where did you fight?" Jiang Cheng nodded. Bai Zhirou kept in touch with Wangjiang City, and the movements of the army could be collected quickly.

"The two generals Zhao Zihao and Li Mu have returned and brought back a lot of talents and officials. The army led by Yuan Liangdushuai is less than 500 miles away. During this period, the Daxia Dynasty's army joined the army three times, two defeated and one victory, but the victory seemed even worse." Bai Zhirou briefly explained the information collected during this period, and there was no such thing as the main force was too detailed.

"It's almost done." Jiang Cheng looked at the thin luck and flipped his hands. In Bai Zhirou's surprised gaze, the thunder tribulation Yuanying appeared in Jiang Cheng's hand. Jiang Cheng handed the chessboard to the thunder tribulation Yuanying. The thunder tribulation Yuanying held the chessboard, and a slap of a palm appeared at his feet, and flew towards the sea of ​​luck in the Daxia Dynasty.

"Your Nascent Soul!" Bai Zhirou looked at Jiang Cheng in surprise.

Jiang Cheng nodded: "Protect the Dharma for me!"

After saying that, he closed his eyes just like he was in the valley last time, and his whole mind sank into the thunder tribulation of the Nascent Soul.

But seeing the Thunder Tribulation Yuanying approaching the sea of ​​Qiyun Clouds above the Xia capital, the Sea of ​​Qiyun Clouds seemed to notice that an enemy was approaching. There were constant roars in the sea of ​​clouds. However, the Thunder Tribulation Yuanying ignored it and flew straight to the bank of Qiyun Clouds, throwing the chessboard in his hand towards the sea of ​​Qiyun Clouds.

"Roar~"

But the chessboard rises when it sees the wind, which is even more terrifying than the last time. In less than a quarter of an hour, the creatures in the entire capital felt darkening on their heads, and a huge chessboard phantom appeared above the Chaochao Capital of Daxia, completely covering up the already thin luck.

Xiadu, the royal palace, was discussing the affairs of the civil and military officials in the court. Suddenly, I felt something strange and frowned and looked up at the void.

The civil and military officials of the court also found something wrong. They found that the power of luck seemed to have disappeared.

"Retreat!" King Xia opened his eyes and waved.

"I'm going to leave!" The ministers also knew something was wrong and hurriedly bowed.

The ministers retreated, and King Xia snorted coldly, closed his eyes, and his thoughts flew directly into the sea of ​​luck.

On the huge chess board, Jiang Cheng's thunder tribulation clone condensed a body with the help of the chessboard, standing at the end of the chessboard with his hands behind his back, admiring the sea of ​​luck at close range, and feeling the power of the rules contained in the sea of ​​luck at Daxia Dynasty.

"Buzz~"

The sea of ​​luck in the distance suddenly trembled, and countless luck gathered, gradually condensed into a physical body. A man wearing a crown and a red dragon robe appeared opposite Jiang Cheng. Looking at the chessboard, his thick eyebrows frowned, his eyes fell on Jiang Cheng, and he said in a deep voice: "Who is your lord?"

"Da Kun, Jiang Cheng, I have met King Xia." Jiang Cheng nodded slightly and said with a smile.

"The Xia Dynasty has not yet become extinct. Even if you take the credit, you came too early, right?" King Xia looked at Jiang Cheng, and a hint of anger flashed in his eyes, and he snorted coldly: "How can this lucky place allow Xiaoxiao to be defiled? Get out of here!"

Jiang Cheng looked at King Xia and smiled and said, "I am here to come here, not representing Da Kun."

King Xia looked at Jiang Cheng and frowned slightly: "Then why are you here?"

"I am playing chess into the way. Today I come here with this chessboard and invite the King of Xia to bet on this weather and fight with me." Jiang Cheng smiled.

"Play chess? Or do you have the luck of the weather?" A hint of anger flashed in King Xia's eyes, and he waved his hand and hit Jiang Cheng.

The huge palm shadow appeared just now, and it quickly dissipated in King Xia's astonished gaze without any slight wave, causing King Xia's face to change.

"The rules of this chessboard are only judged by the chess skills. Any attack method is useless here." Jiang Cheng seemed to be standing there in a leisurely manner and said calmly.

"The chess skills determine the winner or lose?" The anger on King Xia's face gradually disappeared. Looking at the chessboard that covered the sea of ​​luck and clouds around him, his face gradually calmed down: "I take this fortune all over the sky as my bet, but I don't know what your bet is?"

"Mr. Jiang's cultivation level!" Jiang Cheng pointed at himself. Since he wanted this luck, he naturally had to take out some decent things to bet.

"Okay!" King Xia looked at the chessboard of heaven and earth and said in a deep voice: "I will have a game with you, but since you are here to challenge, this first move should be considered for Gu?"

"Take it slow!" Seeing that King Xia was about to make a move, Jiang Cheng pressed his hand to stop the opponent's movement: "There is no such rule to play chess. He is challenging King Xia, which proves that he is not good at playing chess. According to the rules of the chess world, King Xia, as a senior, should let the next son!"

No matter how good the chess is, playing chess with people and playing chess with heavenly tribulation really cannot be calculated at once. Heavenly tribulation will only be passive. After Jiang Cheng made a move, Heavenly tribulation will understand the rules and follow. However, King Xia is obviously not the Heavenly tribulation. If he wants to take the initiative, he needs to know that on this chessboard, he would rather lose one piece than lose one first. Although Jiang Cheng won the Heavenly Tribulation, he would not dare to underestimate the lord like King Xia.

"This is the Great Xia Dynasty, and the rules should be determined by me!" The King of Xia did not allow any of them and said strongly.

"But this chessboard is mine! The rules of the chessboard should be settled!" Jiang Cheng was not prepared to let him go first. If he made a mistake, the ending might be a different scene.

The two of them were fighting each other, and they were verbally quarreled, and neither of them wanted to let the first one. Finally, after a quarter of an hour of argument, King Xia realized something was wrong. Jiang Cheng seemed to intend to delay time and immediately said: "Since you and I can't stand it, why not guess what first?"
