While Meng Zhang was secretly preparing for war, the entire Jiuqu Province, under the orders of the Governor-General's Office, began to prepare for war intensively.
Recruiting supplies, mobilizing troops... all preparations were carried out in an orderly manner.
Even the major merchants, led by the three major merchants of Datong Merchant Alliance, Miaodan Association, and Qifu Alliance, began to help collect supplies and transport troops.
These big merchants have an inseparable connection with the Dali Dynasty.
In times of peace, these large merchants relied on the power of the Dali Dynasty to expand and seize various interests.
After the war comes, they will become the vanguard of the Dali Dynasty's foreign conquests.
Now that the Dali Dynasty is preparing to attack the Daheng Cultivation World, these big merchants will naturally provide their full service.
The Dali Dynasty faced tremendous pressure from the Purple Sun Sect in all aspects.
In all directions of the country, there are cultivation forces driven by the Purple Sun Sect, forming an oppressive force on the Dali Dynasty.
The main combat forces of the Dali Dynasty were stationed on various front lines to resist external oppression.
The remaining troops should be responsible for defending various parts of the territory.
The elites directly affiliated with the royal family serve as a reserve team, ready to support in all directions at any time.
If the Dali Dynasty wanted to take action against the Daheng Cultivation World, it could only mobilize the garrison force of Jiuqu Province in a short period of time.
Under normal circumstances, the official monks of the Dali Dynasty and the private forces would not be enough.
However, a sudden change such as a demonic disaster occurred in Daheng's cultivation world, which gave the Dali Dynasty an opportunity to take advantage of the situation.
Zhang Weineng, the governor of Jiuqu Province, personally ordered that most of the troops stationed in Jiuqu Province be mobilized.
In addition to the Zhenbei army, which is itself a mobile force, local garrison troops from various places were also gathered.
Major merchants have also organized teams of monks to obey the orders of the Governor-General's Palace at any time.
The Dali Dynasty had strict laws in this regard. Even if these big businessmen had a deep background and had good hands and eyes, they must obey orders and obey orders during wartime. Otherwise, the consequences will be disastrous.
Zhang Weineng had a little trouble with the Datong Merchant Alliance before, but during the external war, this little trouble was simply not worth mentioning, and no one dared to delay the business because of it.
Regarding the original local cultivation forces in Jiuqu Province, even though they had taken refuge in the Dali Dynasty for some time, they were still respectful enough. But they are always outsiders and cannot gain Zhang Weineng's trust.
Zhang Wei was able to give the order in the name of the Governor's Mansion, because the demonic disaster broke out in the Daheng cultivation world and caused great harm.
In order to prevent the demon disaster from spreading to Jiuqu Province, all major local cultivation forces should mobilize immediately and be ready to fight the demons at any time.
All major cultivating forces must strengthen inspections of local areas to prevent demonic cultivators and monsters from infiltrating.
Judging from his orders, Zhang Wei was not confident about using local cultivation forces to go out, but was prepared to let them defend the rear.
The Jiuqu Province began to actively prepare for war, looking like it was ready to go to war at any time.
However, preparation for war is preparation for war. Even though he was fully prepared, Zhang Weineng was still in no hurry to take action.
Zhang Weineng was originally a dynasty commander who had experienced hundreds of battles, was brave and resourceful.
He personally led the army to conquer the Jiuqu League and conquered the Jiuqu Province.
Later, he was appointed governor of Jiuqu Province and stayed here for many years.
He is very familiar with and has an in-depth understanding of the situation in Jiuqu Province and surrounding areas, including Daheng Cultivation World.
This time, the Dali Dynasty's plan to conquer the Daheng cultivation world came from the royal family, but he was responsible for its implementation from the front.
All the specific work is basically done by him.
Emperor Bawu trusted Zhang Weineng with all the power of this operation.
Zhang Weineng has been on foreign campaigns for many years, and this is not the first time he has conquered new territory.
From the planning stage of this plan to the specific implementation stage, all the way to the current later stage, he has done it personally without any omissions.
Meng Zhang originally thought that after the Dali Dynasty caused a demonic disaster in the Daheng cultivation world, they would immediately take advantage of it to take action.
But Zhang Weineng was very calm and calm and was not in a hurry to take action.
He had ordered war preparations early, but had been watching the situation change.
The major cultivation forces that dominated the Daheng cultivation world were initially caught off guard by the sudden outbreak of the demonic disaster and were in a hurry. In the panic, they were unable to deal with it and could only temporarily shrink their strength to avoid the sharp edge of the monster.
After these major cultivation forces stabilize their positions, they will definitely not be able to just watch the demon disaster spread and allow the monsters to continue to wreak havoc in the Daheng cultivation world.
Therefore, after these major cultivation forces secured their core territories, they contacted each other and organized a powerful coalition to defeat the monsters running rampant everywhere.
This seemingly powerful coalition was blocked by an army of monsters before they could attack.
The monsters that were originally scattered all over the place, killing people and constantly demonizing creatures, were forcibly driven together to form a huge army of monsters.
Under the leadership of the fourth-level monster, this army of monsters and the coalition of cultivators started a war.
After bloody and cruel battles, the cultivator coalition not only failed to defeat the enemy as expected, but fell at a disadvantage.
Of course, the several major cultivation forces that dominate the Daheng cultivation world have strong potential and profound foundations. Even if they are temporarily at a disadvantage, they will not damage their roots.
As long as they continue to squeeze their own potential and use their hidden trump cards, they are very likely to turn defeat into victory and defeat the monster army.
Of course, many practitioners fail to see this.
Because the coalition of cultivators had a bad start and was at a disadvantage, after the news spread, the entire Daheng cultivator world became even more panicked.
Even the area where Maple Leaf Mountain City is located was in chaos after receiving the relevant news, and people were panicked. Many cultivators tried to escape from the Daheng Cultivation World.
Fortunately, after Yang Xueyi arrived at Maple Leaf Mountain City, she quickly appeared in public and used the power of the True Lord Yuanshen to intimidate the surrounding cultivation forces.
Taking advantage of the imminent external threat, she quickly gained a foothold in the local area and gained many supporters.
Faced with the dual threats of demon disaster and monster invasion, a True Lord of Yuanshen came at the right time.
Even though this True Lord Yuanshen was obviously an outsider, he was still welcomed by everyone.
Yang Xueyi mobilized the reinforcements sent from Taiyimen to try to suppress the local area and stabilize the situation.
Even though many places in the Daheng cultivation world are already in chaos, the situation in the area where Maple Leaf Mountain City is located is still relatively stable. There has been no large-scale chaos, let alone large-scale burning, killing and looting.
Yang Xueyi's commanding general style quickly gave many local cultivators a backbone.
Yang Xueyi also took this opportunity to start unifying the cultivation forces and cultivators in the area.
