Tian Yuan Xian Ji

In Mubei, in the solemn and solemn conference hall, high-level officials from all parties gathered together. Above the main seat, three desks stood side by side, and three men sat upright.

On the left is a man with a lion nose and a wide mouth, with a burly figure and a dignified appearance. He is the Konglin of the golden-eyed griffin tribe.

The person in the middle has a fair complexion and slanted eyebrows. He is Yunfei of the colorful peacock clan.

The person on the right with a swallow jaw and a tiger beard, a tiger body and a wolf waist, is Xuanzhen of the Qingjiao clan.

"Thank you fellow Taoists for coming here to discuss this matter in your busy schedule. You are all old friends, so I won't say much about the politeness. This time I invite you to come here because I have an important matter to discuss. The former, there is someone from Liangzhou. Send envoys to come and make an appointment to fight together, and want us to attack Qingzhou again, what do you think?" Yun Fei opened the door and said first.

Kong Lin on the left continued to say: "This family has also had this intention for a long time. You must know that the whole Qingzhou is in chaos. Due to the split of the Jiang family, the Taoist forces are divided into two factions, and they are killing each other. This is a golden opportunity, while they are fighting among themselves, we will move our army southward, and maybe we can take Qingzhou in one fell swoop."

"The alliance in Liangzhou has also made a promise. As long as I wait for something, they will respond immediately and mobilize a large army to attack the front line of Liangzhou in order to contain the main force of Xuanmen and prevent them from being able to spare manpower to support Qingzhou."

"At that time, they will send people to contact the Tiannan allies and let them attack Jingzhou."

"Everyone, don't miss this opportunity. If you don't take advantage of this opportunity to march forward, I'm afraid there will never be such a good opportunity in the future. If the situation in Qingzhou stabilizes in the future and I wait to go south, the outcome will be unpredictable."

After Kong Lin finished speaking, there was no sound from the sparrows in the hall, and everyone frowned slightly, or their faces were expressionless.

"Fellow Daoist Tao, what do you think?" Seeing the silence of the crowd, Xuan Zhen asked a middle-aged man below.

The man is the head teacher of the Tianmo Sect in Annan County, and belongs to the hardliners in the Mubei Allied Forces. The Tianmo Sect was also a strong supporter of the move to attack Qingzhou in the south.

When the man surnamed Tao saw Xuanzhen looking at him, he naturally knew his intentions, it was nothing more than wanting to get his support.

He coughed slightly and said: "Everyone knows that I have always advocated attacking Qingzhou before, but since the last time I failed to enter Qingzhou, a large number of elite disciples of our sect died, and they still haven't recovered their vitality. The words of the two fellow Taoists Fei are not unreasonable, this time is indeed a golden opportunity to attack Qingzhou, but we still have to act cautiously."

"The so-called kill one thousand enemies and lose eight hundred. Although Qingzhou is a mess now, it will never be that simple if we want to take it easily."

"I have a few concerns. First, Qingzhou now has the Nether Sea Organization joining the defense, and its overall strength is even stronger. If we want to attack the inland, we must first break through the Nether Sea Organization's defense line in Qinghai. I think this may be a battle. Difficult fighting, which means that it is not so easy for us to attack inland."

"Second, the attitude of the business alliance. When we attacked Qingzhou last time, both the Qiankun Chamber of Commerce and the local Qingzhou Chamber of Commerce joined the battle group. If they also choose to advance and retreat with Xuanmen this time, it will be difficult for us to defeat them in one fell swoop. "

"Third, I am more worried about whether the Allied forces of Liangzhou and Tiannan will launch an attack on Liangzhou and Jingzhou as promised, especially for the Allied forces of Tiannan. The last time they attacked Jingzhou, they were beaten by Emperor Qing. defeated, retreated back to Tiannan in embarrassment, and even lost the three counties of Tiannan."

"As far as I know, in these years, Shangqingzong and Jingzhou Xuanmen have repeatedly launched attacks on their jurisdiction. They can only barely protect themselves. How can they launch an attack on Jingzhou and contain Shangqingzong?"

"If this cannot be guaranteed, I think it is better to proceed with caution."

"Fourth, although it seems that Qingzhou is in a mess and fighting independently, this does not mean that after we march, they will still fight independently. It cannot be ruled out that once we march, they will immediately put aside their disputes and start cooperation. .”

"Rather than that, it's better to let them continue to kill each other and consume their internal strength."

"If the three fellow Taoists can solve the first three problems, I support marching to Qingzhou. If not for the time being, I suggest to observe and observe."

After speaking, Yunkong, Xuanzhen, and Konglin looked at each other. They thought that the man surnamed Tao would speak out in support of sending troops, because he had always been the main combatant in the Mubei Alliance Army, and his attitude was very firm. , I didn't expect him to say these words, which was really beyond the expectations of the three of them.

Since the end of the Qinghai War, the morale of the Mubei Allied Forces has been low and somewhat sluggish. Although so many years have passed, when the topic of attacking Qingzhou is brought up again, even the Yaozu has a lot of concerns and it is difficult to unify their opinions.

Needless to say, the factions that originally advocated self-protection are even more strongly opposed.

This time, seeing the civil strife in Qingzhou for a long time, the three finally agreed and persuaded all the tribes in the Yaozu, so they invited all the forces in Mubei to discuss the matter.

Before discussing the matter, the three of them expected that there would be a lot of difficulties, and some people would definitely object strongly, but they didn't expect that the objections would be bigger than expected. Even the originally tough and determined main combat faction, the Heavenly Demon Sect, had so many concerns. , timid, let alone others.

Sure enough, only a slightly old voice was heard, and an old man with gray temples below said: "What Fellow Daoist Tao said is very reasonable. After the last war, we lost too much, and we have not recovered our strength so far. We should Rest and recuperate, it is not wise to attack Qingzhou at this time, there is no need to fight a battle that does not have a great chance of winning."

"Yes! Now Qingzhou has the Nether Sea organization joining, and the business alliance is on their side. We attack rashly. The best result is nothing more than killing one thousand enemies and destroying eight hundred. Wanting to win Qingzhou is like a dream. .”

"Although Qingzhou is in a mess at the moment and they are fighting on their own, it doesn't mean that they will ignore our attack, and I can guarantee that once our army invades, they will definitely put aside their disputes. If they attack urgently, they will reject each other with one heart and be tolerant. They will become more divided. Our attack at this time will not only fail to take advantage of the chaos to take Qingzhou, but will also unite them."

"I support marching into Qingzhou. The conflict between us and Qingzhou cannot be reconciled. Sooner or later, the outcome will be decided. But now is indeed not the time. The concerns that fellow Taoists said just now are not unreasonable. If they march at this time, there is a high probability that they will let go of their prejudices." Hug together."

"I think that when Qingzhou's internal battle is decided, when the people's hearts are not attached, and both sides are hurt, with the loss of soldiers and generals, it is much better for us to attack the weak army with the elite than to attack the elite army now. .”

"Yes, what Yan Daoyou said is reasonable. I also agree to attack Qingzhou. The premise is that we must make corresponding preparations and not rush to gather troops to attack. Before deciding to send troops, I think these things should be done well. First, ensure that Liangzhou The alliance with Tiannan has already launched an attack on Liangzhou and Jingzhou, so we can do it."

"Secondly, send someone to contact the Nether Sea Organization and the Merchant Alliance, try to pull them into our camp, or let them remain neutral. As far as I know, there are constant conflicts and frictions between the Nether Sea Organization and Donglai County Xuanmen. We can Sending more people to drive a wedge between the two parties may have a miraculous effect."

"Regardless of the final result, once a war breaks out between the Nether Sea Organization and the Xuanmen of Donglai County, it will be beneficial and harmless for us to enter Qingzhou in the future."

Everyone said in one word.

……

Tang Ning was sitting cross-legged in the room, closing his eyes to practice, when suddenly a crisp bell sounded in his ears, he opened his eyes, and walked out of the room in a blink of an eye.

At that time, many monks directly under the nearby brigade had also left their residences and came to the central stone hall.

Soon, all [-] people directly under the brigade had assembled, and Ma Yu came in from the outside and said, "Everyone, just now the brigade was discussing matters, and after receiving a notice from the legion, I ordered our unit to station at the "Xiaoqian Pavilion" to resist the rebels. Attack, the brigade ordered us to assemble and set off immediately."

Everyone got up and went out with him. Not long after, they came to the meeting hall on the top of the mountain, and the various teams came one after another. More than a hundred people led by the main team gathered in the wing, and then left the city in a mighty way.

On the Xuanling Ship, Tang Ning stood upright in the cabin, manipulating the console, and displayed pictures one after another.

The seventh column came out in full force, dispatching a total of one Heavenly Spirit Ship, ten Wind Spirit Ships, and one hundred Mysterious Spirit Ships.

In terms of the rationing of troops for a column, these hundreds of warships are not extravagant, and even look a little shabby.

Back then, during the Qinghai War, that was when the banners covered the sun and the warships covered the sky.

At that time, a column was allocated three Tianling ships, an alliance was allocated three Fengling ships, and a brigade was allocated three Xuanling ships.

But now the entire column has only one Heavenly Spirit ship, each regiment has only one Fengling ship, and each brigade has only one Xuanling ship, doesn't that seem shabby?
Even some brigades didn't even have a complete set of Tier [-] warships. For example, Tang Ning's brigade, among the ten teams under it, only five teams were equipped with Tier [-] chariots, and the remaining five teams only had a few sets of Tier [-] warships. Battle armor, and not all members have it.

It can be seen from this that the high-level financial resources of the alliance army are stretched, and there is no way to spend so many spirit stones to equip each team with complete spirit weapons.

If you think about it carefully, it actually makes sense. You must know that during the Qinghai War, the entire Qingzhou Xuanmen and practice families worked together, and with the command and dispatch of Taixuanzong, each Xuanmen and practice families almost did everything to prevent the Mubei demon from going south. Taking out all the family assets, financial resources are naturally not a problem.

In the later stage, the chamber of commerce joined in, and people and money were provided, which made the coalition army's financial resources very sufficient. At any time, the team's spiritual equipment configuration was according to the highest standard.

After the end of the Qinghai War, all forces in Qingzhou paid a lot for it, especially the Xuanmen and the aristocratic families in Donglai County, who suffered the most. The Northern Allied Forces, however, threw themselves into this war with all their strength and ruined their fortunes.

Although hundreds of years have passed since the Qinghai War at this time, for the major forces of all parties, there is no way to restore their previous strength in just a few hundred years, not only in terms of manpower, but the death of high-level monks One hundred years can re-train a batch, and the same is true in terms of financial resources.

Moreover, the civil war in Donglai County this time is only a split between the aristocratic families. Although Taixuanzong is gone, the Xuanmen in Donglai County is still standing still. It makes sense.

Many warships sailed for more than ten days and finally arrived at "Xiaoqian Pavilion".

This pavilion is located in the northwest of Longhua City, with "Xuanying Pavilion" on the left front, "Huangyan Pavilion" on the right front, "Xuexian Pavilion" on the left and "Libo Pavilion" on the right.

This time the coalition forces sent three columns of troops to deploy defenses in each pavilion city on the front line, and each pavilion city was guarded by a coalition force.
