Suliu City.
"Report!"
"Oops! Minghao has sent troops and is coming towards me, Su Liu!"
In the hall, several Jindan senior officials who were discussing the outcome of the new year's war silenced their voices and looked at each other, secretly saying that it was true.
Tai Shiduan frowned and scolded: "Why are you panicking? It's not the first time!"
Peng Lian: "Tell me the details."
The scout hurriedly said: "The enemy army set out from Changping City, with an army of more than 2 million warriors. The army of monks went ahead in flying boats, at least 30,000 people. The specific strength is unknown... In addition, there are strong Jindan men in Wuqiu and Beifu cities to lead the monks. , will arrive at my Suliu City soon!"
Peng Lian narrowed his eyes slightly: "It seems that everyone came out in full force."
It was discovered years ago that Minghao's armies from all walks of life were gathering towards Changping.
Yuan Chengfang, the great elder of the Ba Yuan Sect, stroked his beard and looked at the map on the wall: "With such a big fanfare, aren't you afraid that the Wan Ling Sect and the Xiahou family will take the retreat?"
Tai Shiduan pursed his lips and said: "It's only two million. We are defending the city. The advantage is mine!"
The corner of Peng Lian's mouth twitched, don't talk about your advantage.
"Explore again!"
Scout Yuan Chengfang waved his hand and said to the person next to him: "Send a message to Anhe to prepare for reinforcements. Also, pay close attention to the movements in the cities in the northwest!"
Tai Shiduan curled his lips and sneered: "The four northwest cities are all cowed, so there is nothing to worry about. On the contrary, Changping, as the northwest fortress, will be turned into an empty city and Xiahou's army will take advantage of it."
"..."
Early the next morning, war trumpets were heard throughout the city.
Streams of light flew down the east gate city wall, and eighty golden elixir experts gathered in the city.
In contrast, outside the city, twenty-four flying boats were spread across the sky, with a total of one hundred and twenty golden elixir auras, and the total number of monks was nearly forty thousand.
Peng Lian said with a solemn expression: "Shi Liangxiu, Luo Ding, and Han Zhen are all here... Who is the man in gray robe on the left of Shi Liangxiu?"
"That's Lin Zhengping, from the fifth peak of the Fire Cloud Sect, a fellow disciple of Shi Liangxiu and Song Yunhui." Wei Zheng said.
When the Chiyang Sect was destroyed, he was one of the important figures among those killed. He luckily escaped and joined the Dual Alliance, and later merged into the Sanhe Sect of Wei.
Yuan Chengfang said: "This person is quite low-key. He showed up on the battlefield for the first time since the civil war. In his early years, he was also a genius with outstanding fighting prowess. Later, he was injured in Zhongzhou, his realm fell, and he hid in Yangquanfang City and became unknown. Later, he got an unknown opportunity. To repair the soul, it is rumored that he may enter the golden elixir earlier than Song Yunhui..."
Peng Lian nodded and murmured: "So it's him..."
Taishi Duan was surprised: "Has he ever been to Zhongzhou?"
As the words fell, everyone saw a black spot appear at the end of the sky, which turned into a rainbow and arrived in the blink of an eye, revealing the shape of a flying boat. Ten golden elixirs led thousands of monks to arrive.
Yuan Chengfang sighed softly in his heart, feeling bad, and said: "With such a big battle, it seems that they are determined to swallow me up."
Tai Shiduan didn't take it seriously: "One hundred and thirty people, when our reinforcements arrive, their strength will be almost the same. With the help of a large formation, the advantage will still be there!"
Peng Lian: "..."
Scouting monk: "Report! Danliangcheng Xiahou Fang has organized his army at the north gate and should go north!"
Taishi Duan smiled and said: "It's stable! We don't need to hold on for long. Once Xiahou's army attacks Changping, Minghao will definitely return to support."
Peng Lian: "Let's explore again!"
Another scout: "Report! Zuo Qianqiu is guarding Yinfeng City, Song Yunhui is guarding Liuli City, Xie Yu is guarding Wuqiu City, Peng Zhijing is guarding Yingli City..."
After listening to the details, the eyes of everyone on the city wall flickered, and their hearts calmed down. The movements of Minghao's main characters were clear.
Not long after.
Three flying boats came from behind and reinforcements from Anhe City arrived.
The Tianyuan Sect's sect leader, the Sanhe Sect's genius Ye Xiu, the Lu family's Lu Su and Lu Jin... gathered thirty golden elixirs.
outside the city.
Shi Liangxiu's fat body stood at the front of the flying boat, and he shouted in a condensed voice: "Listen, Sanhe thieves, for a limited time only, with a stick of incense, abandon the city, surrender, and get out of the Yan Kingdom. Otherwise, when my army steps down the city wall, you will be killed." At this time, no one will be left behind!"
Yuan Chengfang snorted coldly and stood up in the air: "Junior is talking arrogantly! Even Zuo Qianqiu would not dare to say such arrogant things!"
Shi Liangxiu sneered with disdain on his face: "Old man! The loess was buried up to his neck before he broke into the golden elixir. He was beaten so hard that he ran away like a lost dog. He actually rebelled against the country and surrendered to the enemy. How can he have the face to pretend to be a senior? Hurry up and find a bumpkin to live your life. stop!"
"Hahaha~" Minghao's army of monks laughed.
A figure in white rose into the sky with fighting intent: "Liu Li Luo Feng is here, who will die?!"
Ye Xiu raised his eyebrows, twisted his body and dodged out of the city: "The one who kills you is Wei Ye Xiu!"
He had long heard of the name Luo Feng of Yan State, who was known as the person who had broken into the golden elixir the fastest in Weinan for thousands of years.
Boom boom boom~
A fierce battle was about to break out, vitality surged, and explosions resounded throughout the sky.
Another person flew out from Ming Haofang. He was shaped like an iron frame, with bulging muscles. He was extremely burly and surrounded by energy and blood: "Who dares to fight on the Sanfeng High-Speed Railway?"
Lu Jin, who is also a fellow cultivator of the Dharma Body, took a step forward and wanted to fight, but Lu Su, who shook his head slightly, stopped him with his eyes.
Tai Shiduan glanced around: "Who is going to kill his majesty?"
The middle-aged man in black with one golden elixir and three levels stepped forward: "Xue fights you!"
…
…
Blackwater City.
Peng Wanli sat on the Grand Master's chair, holding the summons bell in his hand and frowning.
Peng Yuanzhong said: "Zhong Yan is not reliable. Are you planning to abandon us?"
Peng Lichang pursed his lips and said, "Didn't he say that the covenant is still there? At least he informed us in advance. The choice is up to us."
"What kind of choice is that?"
Asking a rhetorical question, Peng Yuanqing said: "Furthermore, with the current strength of Heishui, what kind of treatment can you get if you join Minghao? If everything goes well in the early stages of the civil war, at this moment, you probably won't even get the treatment of a third-class prince!"
Wang Baoshan: "The four northwest cities rely on each other. At least for now, they are impregnable. There is no problem in persisting until the decisive battle. Why did Zhong Yan suddenly make this decision?"
Peng Yuanzhong: "He went to Liuli last year. Maybe he reached some agreement with Minghao in private, or was it related to the previous killing of the disciples of Shenxiao Sect?"
"..."
After a while of discussion, the four of them looked at Peng Wanli who was deep in thought.
Peng Wanli put away the bell and said with an angry smile: "Made, this bastard Zhong Yan is full of tricks. Who knows what evil he is hiding, but he has always been unwilling to suffer losses. Let's understand, Yuan Qing, you choose Five hundred monks, 200,000 troops, be prepared. If Qingyang moves, we will move again."
Peng Yuanqing nodded: "Okay!"
Peng Yuanzhong hesitated a little and said: "Second Ancestor, what if Qingyang really surrenders to Minghao? Heishui is very different from Qingyang. Zhong Yan may be treated as a first-class prince, but we...then I'm afraid we won't even be able to do it now. Not even one percent of the resources can be allocated.”
Peng Wanli cursed in a low voice: "The black water merges into Qingyang! The boat has sailed to the sea. Getting off the boat now is like courting death! Zhong Yan is not a stingy person. It is better for him to hold it up than to become a fringe force!"
Peng Lichang's eyes flashed and he immediately said: "I think it's feasible!"
…
…
Shunyi City.
The Jindan members of the Ding family sat around the table, all of them with solemn expressions.
"what to do?"
"Zhong Yan is not reliable either!"
“It’s okay to say we’ve made a covenant, but what’s the difference between this and breaking the covenant?”
"Then shall we send troops?"
"What kind of troops will be sent? How to explain to the Fire Cloud Sect? Switch to Minghao?"
"If we don't send troops, Shunyi will be waiting for Ruogu City in the northwest, and anyone can take control of it. Without the help of Qingyang and Heishui, we won't be able to hold on until Fengdeng reinforcements arrive!"
"Moreover, Peak Master You told us to stand still, which is no different from not caring about Shunyi's life or death? Why not take this opportunity to leave, so as not to be left alone and helpless!"
"Just wait and see what happens, and then leave Erfeng and make the Ding family ungrateful? Isn't it too childish and hasty?!
There are also factions within the family, with different opinions and endless arguments.
At this time, Ding Yin, who had just broken through the golden elixir, walked into the meeting hall, and many eyes gathered.
Ding Yin shook his head and said, "Zhong Yan is still using the same rhetoric, and Wan Jun doesn't know his true thoughts."
Ding Zhi sighed: "The water thrown out by a married daughter has no effect at all in Zhong Mansion."
Ancestor Ding Shuo looked at Ding Ju and asked: "Fifth brother, what do you think?"
Ding Ju played with a chip in his hand and muttered: "I think, water from afar cannot quench the thirst of the near, so it is more appropriate to follow Qingyang's pace. In these years, the resources that the Ding family has gained from being in charge of Shunyi alone are well understood, or It’s better to be in charge of your own affairs.”
Ding Zhuang: "What about the Fire Cloud Sect?"
A sneer appeared at the corner of Ding Ju's mouth: "One share from the Fire Cloud Sect and one share from the Second Peak. Hundreds of years of tribute are not enough? The so-called support is nothing but oppression!"
"There are many talented people in our Ding family. Which one, Xiaozhi, Xiaoyin or Xiaoyuan, is less qualified than the core disciples of the Fire Cloud Sect?"
"If it weren't for limited resources, why would the Ding family still be a low-ranking family in the Yan Kingdom?"
The Ding family is indeed prosperous and has many capable people.
The ancestors, two cousins, Ding Shuo and Ding Ju, have been able to form elixirs after many years of perfect foundation building;
The elders of the clan, Ding Zhuang and Ding Zhi, both have true spiritual roots and broke into the golden elixir at the beginning of the civil war;
Further down, Ding Yuan, Ding Yin, Ding Hai and others have also been promoted to Jindan in recent years. Although Ding Yin has three spiritual roots, his spiritual roots are pure, his sense of energy is strong, and his talent for controlling beasts is excellent. Months ago, he broke through with the contracted spirit beast.
There is also a younger generation, Ding Xiu, Ding Meng, and Ding Xiu, who have already emerged. Among them, Ding Xiu is the first Heavenly Spiritual Root in the history of his family. He has reached the seventh level of foundation building at the age of twenty-four and has a bright future.
Ding Ju glanced around the field: "Look at the Zhong family. They have risen rapidly in just a few decades and are much stronger than our Ding family. However, they can live in peace with Heishui and Shunyi. If it were for me, I would have annexed it! Zhong Yan is here He has the appearance of a hero, and although he is domineering and cunning, he acts with principles, and he must not be associated with anyone who is greedy."
Be quiet for a moment.
Ding Shuo asked: "What do Heishui and Wangxi say?"
Someone said: "I'm evasive. I probably don't know how to decide."
Ding Shuo pondered for a while and made a final decision: "Be prepared to send troops first. When the black water moves, we will move again!"
…
…
Qingyang City.
Cangbao Street, Second Courtyard.
Zhong Yan personally sat in charge of the discussion work department, and many important figures were present.
Chen Dingnan quickly walked into the hall, raised his fists and said, "Father-in-law! Minghao is fighting with the Sanhe monks. The army of Changping warriors is expected to arrive in Suliu in half a month. Anhe City rushes to the rescue with at least thirty golden elixirs and more than a thousand monks. As far as Suliu City, there should be less than ten golden elixirs in Anhe City at this moment..."
The three combined sects of Wei State plus the original Dual Alliance had less than 140 golden elixirs in total.
In addition to the two cities of Anhe and Suliu, the Sanhe Sect also had to garrison the original site of the Five Elements Sect, where twenty golden elixirs were located.
"Xiahou Fangdan has a sudden change in Liangcheng. He has raised an army of 500,000 people. The intention is not yet known."
"The Huoyun Sect, Wanling Sect, and Jingcheng Tang Family have not made any moves yet."
Zhong Yan nodded, waved his hand and said, "Act as planned."
"yes!"
Everyone in the venue responded in unison and flew out of the palace.
