Night falls.
The Imperial City of Guifang Kingdom was brightly lit, and from time to time there could be heard the sounds of people and the neat "crunching" sounds of convoys transporting things to defend the city.
People are panicked, but we are united!
The endless Western Qin military camps and the densely packed Western Qin army outside surrounded the imperial city.
The aroma of the food cooked by the army cooks filled the surrounding area, and many Western Qin soldiers grabbed mutton legs, mutton bones, and other things and gnawed them randomly.
On the other hand, the 100,000 Oni Fang Three Kingdoms soldiers under the imperial city were hungry and their eyes were glowing green. In three days, in order to run faster, not only did they lose their weapons, but they even threw their rations somewhere.
The contrast between the two sides is very stark.
In the camp of the commander of the Western Qin Army, Xin Zhuo sat cross-legged on the commander's seat, writing furiously. He had no intention of eating the large pot of hot mutton and steamed buns in front of him.
The bear's paw behind him obediently held his back.
Downstairs, Jiang Yong, Chan Yi, Bai Xuanji, and Jiang Man'er sat cross-legged in two rows. They had no appetite and all had deep frowns on their faces.
After a while, Xin Zhuo stopped writing and looked at the paper:
1. How is the war between the seven major sects?
Someone had been keeping an eye on this matter ten days ago, and they had been in constant communication with Taixun Gong, who was in charge of the matter, but there was no news yet.
Second, the specific locations of Baiheqiu, Jinshuizong and Hehuan Valley. Is it included after the two countries of Parthia and Gumo were conquered?
He was roughly aware of this matter. The gates of Jinshui Sect and Hehuan Valley were already within the territory laid down behind him, but Baiheqiu was still within the territory of Guifang Kingdom.
3. How to capture the Imperial City of Guifang Kingdom as soon as possible?
Below is a series of question marks.
That's right, he doesn't have a good idea at the moment. Gui Fangguo is desperately defending the city, with no intention of waiting for work and taking the opportunity to fight. He doesn't care about the hundreds of thousands of defeated troops under the city, or even the Gui Fangguo whom he has met once. The prince didn't care anymore.
This bachelor's appearance gives people a headache!
It is said that there are more than one million soldiers and civilians in the city, with sufficient food and grass.
It's a bit ridiculous for two hundred thousand troops to capture a fortified city with one million soldiers and civilians.
Even if you can barely defeat it, will it take a long time? Months, year?
What he lacks most right now is time.
Looking at the audience: "Tell us everything!"
Jiang Man'er straightened his messy beard and said rudely and arrogantly: "Attack the city tomorrow! Fight until they surrender!"
Yan Kuizong also shouted: "If you ask me, we will build siege equipment tonight, and we will be the first to rush up at the end of tomorrow morning!"
"Don't be reckless!"
Bai Xuanji thought for a while and said: "Students think that it is not appropriate to attack directly because the casualties will be too heavy. It is better to recruit those surrendered soldiers tomorrow morning and attack the city with three surrendered soldiers and one Western Qin soldier, and then use siege vehicles. , trebuchets and troop-carrying wooden monsters as supplements!”
Jiang Man'er calmed down and said: "It's better to send the soldiers from the Guifang Kingdom who surrendered earlier in the army to persuade them to surrender! Subjugating the enemy's troops without fighting is the best policy, as taught by the prince!"
Jiang Yong pondered for a long time and wanted to say something, but he had no idea. This kind of earthly offensive and defensive battle cannot be solved by personal force.
Chanyi thought for a moment: "I can't see there is a river far away. Can the water from the river be used? It will flood the city or something?"
Pretty ruthless.
Venerable Jiang Yong finally found a place to use it. He shook his head and said: "No, this Guifang Imperial City is built on the mountain. The terrain is too high and the river cannot flood it!"
A group of people looked at Xin Zhuo.
Xin Zhuo was silent.
The whole hall was silent for a while.
You have wonderful ideas, and Gui Fangguo naturally has his own tricks. Without a brilliant method, everything is useless.
"Report!"
At this moment, a report from a scout suddenly came from outside the tent: "Someone is coming from Xingling Mansion!"
Xin Zhuo's heart moved: "Please come in!"
The curtain was opened, and Li Juguan, an official of the county prince's palace, and several military experts who were investigating the war between the seven major sects hurried in and paid homage. Li Juguan's expression was wrong: "Prince, something big has happened!"
Everyone looked around.
Xin Zhuo frowned and said, "Say!"
Li Juguan took a deep breath: "Three days ago, the melee between the seven major sects suddenly ended. The two sides faced off, and the four major sects in Kunlun Palace requested peace talks.
However, the masters of Baiheqiu, Jinshui Sect and Hehuan Valley had no intention of negotiating peace with the four major sects of Kunlun Palace. The earthly immortals of Taiping Palace, the three sects of Baiheqiu and a group of great masters suddenly escaped far away and left the west. The land of Qin, heading to the territory of Zhou Dynasty.
Moreover, before this, the disciples of the three major sects had already unknowingly taken the sect's martial arts books and town treasures and other items, detoured to the Blackwater Kingdom in the Western Region, and entered the Nanmang Mountains. It seemed that they wanted to go there. The territory of the Shence Army has entered the Great Zhou Dynasty!
The four major sects of Kunlun Palace are unable to catch up! The 150,000 troops left by Western Qin were unable to stop them. "
This... is indeed a sudden event!
Xin Zhuo's face kept changing, and his mood was complicated. He felt that after all the hard work, only half of the plan was completed, which was not satisfactory.
At this time, Li Juguan hesitated again and said, "Mrs. Bai Heqiu sent a letter before she left!"
Madam, I can only break Feiyan.
Xin Zhuo took the letter and opened it. Inside was a page of beautiful small characters: "The kindness of the six families has been repaid. The husband has opened up the five elements of the concubine and made me enter the great lord overnight. I also repay the kindness of the great master! As a wife, I will repay you." I believe that there is nothing wrong with me...Jiang Yuqing, you shouldn't lie to me!"
The letter was wet, I don't know if it was stained with water or something else.
Xin Zhuo sighed as he thought of the figure who had the power to communicate with ghosts and gods and was in the realm of a great sage, but had been married for only a few days but was still a well-behaved wife.
Whether he was using her or what, he couldn't tell.
Putting down the letter, he rubbed his brows and began to think about the impact of this incident.
Sure enough, as the stunning woman from Lingyun Palace said, in the melee of the seven major sects, it is impossible for one side to exterminate the other!
There is no winning or losing in this matter!
However, the three major sects of Baiheqiu are really bachelors, and they ran away without giving themselves the chance to sacrifice their souls! He did not hesitate to leave behind hundreds of thousands of years of mountain gates and follow the Great Zhou all the way to the dark side!
It seemed that his plan was finally fully discovered by them, but they refused to let him get his wish.
He looked out at the bright imperial city of Guifang Kingdom through the rolled up tent curtains. He was afraid... that Guifang Kingdom's desperate resistance was being deceived by the three major sects of Baiheqiu and holding him back?
The three sects of Baiheqiu had capable people, and they did not give themselves any chance to take advantage of them. They took advantage of the battle between the Western Qin and the Guifang Three Kingdoms to move the sect and escape.
This is really courageous and generous!
So, between the Great Zhou Dynasty and the Western Qin Dynasty, they don't think highly of themselves at all?
The above is just a superficial analysis of the situation. If we look at the big picture, once the demon clan of the Western Region is dispatched in the future, only four of the seven major sects will be left as a defensive force!
really! Just when I thought of this, a cold voice came from outside: "In the future, the martial arts trend will come, and once the demon tribe riots, the only ones who can resist the demon tribe are the four major sects!"
Following the voice, Ling Shuyue walked in, her pair of half-revealed eyes dazzlingly white.
Everyone in the account looked over.
Xin Zhuo chuckled lightly: "The three sects of Baiheqiu are ignorant of current affairs and disregard the overall situation!"
"How has your Majesty ever taken the overall situation into consideration?"
Ling Shiyue sat cross-legged and looked at Xin Zhuo, her red lips slightly parted: "Aren't you also determined to conquer the Three Kingdoms of Guifang, suppress the three sects of Baiheqiu, and be driven by you like the four major sects of Kunlun Palace? Your Majesty. It's a bit ugly to eat. The three thousand-year-old sects of Baiheqiu have their hearts set on the Zhou Dynasty. How can they be willing to be insulted?"
There is some truth to this. Although Jiang Yuqing has a mysterious skill, her appearance is not good-looking and too radical, which can easily arouse the rebellious psychology of the three major sects.
Unlike the four major sects of Kunlun Palace and the West Qin County Prince's Palace, which have an equal cooperative relationship, once the four major sects suppressed the three sects of Baiheqiu, the Western Qin Dynasty forcibly defeated the three Guifang Kingdoms, occupied the mountain gate, and finally joined forces to fight again. When the three sects of Baiheqiu surrendered, the taste changed!
Isn't this bullying?
Who among the sects in this world is not proud?
What's more, you, Jiang Yuqing, just anticipated the opportunity, and your subsequent strategies will be easy for a smart person to figure out.
Xin Zhuo smiled: "Things have already happened. It's useless to say more. Without the three sects, there are still four sects. I suggest that the four major sects take the opportunity to occupy the territory and mountain gate of the three sects of Baiheqiu. It is not a bad idea to recruit disciples and expand their power. No!"
Ling Shiyue's face softened slightly. That was the purpose of her coming here. The three major sects ran away, which was helpless. However, the prince's mind must be understood, otherwise with his deep scheming and cunning, even It is possible to form a sect of one's own, or hundreds of thousands of troops to swarm between the Fourth Sect and the Third Sect and put forward a bunch of other demands, which is really outrageous.
Xin Zhuo smiled and asked: "Where are the Earth Immortals of the four sects and the Confucian Earth Immortals?"
Ling Shiyue's eyes flickered, and she chuckled: "Let's go to rob Baiheqiu's Secret Code of Subduing Demons. The three major sects ran away, and we want to keep the Secret Code of Subduing Demons!"
Xin Zhuo rubbed his chin and suddenly realized that there is not a damn fool. The ending of the three and four sects can only be to sit down and have peace talks. I am afraid that the four major sects of Kunlun Palace were indeed used by him as spearmen at first. But then I figured out my own thoughts and the thoughts of the three Baiheqiu Sects,
Ten days ago, he asked Ling Shuyue to bring a message to him, just to take advantage of him, so that he could defeat the Three Kingdoms of Guifang as soon as possible, force the three major sects away, and seize the opportunity to seize the secret book of subduing demons of Lao Shizi, and take the opportunity to become bigger!
The only miserable thing is the three sects of Baiheqiu. It is definitely not a good thing to leave one's hometown! There are also the Guifang Three Kingdoms outside, who are regarded as fools by the three major sects and are resisting the Western Qin!
