After Meng Zhang received the information from An Moran through the secret disciples, he had been thinking about what to do next.
The entire army of Hengdao Zhenjun was annihilated, which meant that all the plans of the Dali Dynasty for the Daheng cultivation world had failed. All plans and plans have come to nothing.
At this point, the situation of the Dali Dynasty in Jiuqu Province has become completely passive.
The Dali Dynasty's rule over Jiuqu Province has even begun to waver.
How long the Dali Dynasty can persist in Jiuqu Province may be a question mark.
So far, among this coalition of monks, only Meng Zhang has received the news.
But it probably won't take long, and the news will soon spread throughout the entire army of monks.
Meng Zhang thought for a long time before making a decision in his mind.
He still had to act according to the original plan. No matter what others did, he would still maintain the status quo and not take the initiative to break with the Dali Dynasty.
As for Zhang Weineng, he will deal with it humbly and submissively, but will no longer work for the other party.
He no longer just obeys the other party's orders, but has to discuss them with the other party.
Just like now, no matter what Zhang Weineng does, Meng Zhang is not ready to keep his army on the Yuantu Prairie.
There are a lot of people in the monk alliance, and each cultivation force has to support its own monks.
The place where they are currently setting up camp is where a second-level spiritual vein is located.
The spiritual energy of this spiritual vein is simply not enough to support such a large army.
The main supply for the army still depends on each sect to find a way to provide it.
The monks need to consume spiritual stones, elixirs, etc. every day to meditate and refine their Qi.
The daily consumption of such a large army is simply astronomical.
Although according to convention, after the war, the Dali Dynasty officials would provide certain subsidies.
But with the current situation, who knows how long the Dali Dynasty can maintain its rule in Jiuqu Province.
Under the attack of Ziyang Shengzong, perhaps even the mainland of the Great Li Dynasty would not be able to escape.
From the perspective of saving logistics supplies, this coalition of monks should leave this ghost place as soon as possible.
Meng Zhang also did not discuss with others and directly announced as the leader of the coalition forces that the withdrawal would begin the next day.
The coalition forces evacuated the Yuantu Prairie as soon as possible and returned to Jiuqu Province.
Almost everyone welcomed Meng Zhang's order with their hands raised.
Even the Supervisor Yang He Zhenjun didn't have any objections. Only Wen Dong Zhenjun raised objections because he was ignorant of current affairs.
The expressions on the faces of several True Lords of Yuanshen in the coalition forces were all wrong when they saw Lord Wen Dong.
If there was not a minimum of order among the coalition forces, they would have given Zhenjun Wen Dong a good look.
Meng Zhang was too lazy to pay attention to Zhenjun Wen Dong, so he pretended that he did not exist and directly ordered the withdrawal of his troops.
As soon as he started to withdraw his troops, Zhenjun Wen Dong received the news from the message sent by Zhang Weineng that Zhenjun Hengdao's entire army had been annihilated.
Now, he knew where Meng Zhang's confidence lay.
Not long after, the monks of the coalition forces who were on the way to withdraw their troops received news of the accident of Lord Hengdao one after another.
At this moment, the entire army of monks was eager to return home, and no longer wanted to stay here for a moment longer.
The entire army of monks left Yuantu Prairie in a hurry.
On the other side of the barbarians outside the territory, Chief Wolf Eagle saw the army of human monks evacuating on their own initiative, and finally couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Now, he could complete his original plan without interference.
After such a buffer, the foreign barbarians will have sufficient means to deal with it the next time the army of human monks dares to invade again.
The barbarians outside the territory were busy with their own affairs and had no intention of taking the opportunity to pursue them.
The entire coalition of monks successfully withdrew from the Yuantu Prairie and returned to Jiuqu Province.
Meng Zhang originally did not want to be in such a hurry to disband the monk coalition, but planned to keep the temporary coalition as a trump card in his hand.
No matter how the situation changes in Jiuqu Province, as long as you have the strength in your hands, you will have the ability to adapt. Even if you sell yourself to seek refuge, you can still sell it at a good price.
However, the monks from various factions are eager to return home and have no intention of staying in the coalition.
If people's hearts are lost, it will be difficult to lead the team.
Meng Zhang is nominally the leader of the coalition and the person in charge of the small alliance. But in fact, the control over various cultivation forces is very limited.
What he can really influence is just a few sects that he has good relations with.
When the critical moment comes, the only one who can be trusted is probably the Huanglian Sect.
In desperation, Meng Zhang had no choice but to let this coalition of monks disband, and the monks from all walks of life returned to their homes.
Although before parting, each cultivator force said nicely that they would look after each other in the future, in fact there was not much sincerity.
Meng Zhang could only make an agreement with Xu Mengying of Huanglian Sect, True Lord Changchun of Changchun Temple, and True Lord Jijiao of Jiqiao Sect to keep in touch and help each other.
Then, Meng Zhang led the army of monks from Taiyi Sect and embarked on the way back to Taiyi Sect.
Zhenjun Wen Dong had already reported the movements of this coalition of monks to Commander Zhang Weineng.
But Zhang Weineng's side is also in a state of confusion, so how can he still have the energy to take care of this side?
After the monk coalition disbanded, the two supervisors, Zhenjun Wen Dong and Zhenjun Yang He, rushed to Commander Zhang Weineng.
Before leaving, Zhenjun Wen Dong put aside his previous unhappiness and went to see Meng Zhang once to have a deep talk with him.
The general idea of Lord Wen Dong was to stabilize Meng Zhang and prevent him from wanting to leave the Dali Dynasty.
Wen Dongzhenjun told Meng Zhang that the Dali Dynasty still had many trump cards, and its strength was definitely not what it showed.
Even if it was a temporary setback, the Dali Dynasty did not hurt the foundation at all, and there was still hope of a comeback.
He warned Meng Zhang not to be short-sighted, not see the situation clearly, and make wrong choices.
Otherwise, it will harm others and ourselves, and implicate the entire Taiyi Sect.
No matter what kind of person Wendong Zhenjun is, at this time, he still knows how to fulfill his duties and strive to retain strength for the Dali Dynasty, which really makes Meng Zhang somewhat admired.
In front of Zhenjun Wendong, Meng Zhang, of course, patted his chest and made a big promise, saying that he and the Taiyi Sect would definitely be loyal to the Dali Dynasty. No matter how the situation changes, there will never be any betrayal.
Of course Wendong Zhenjun knew that Meng Zhang's words were unreliable, but he had no other choice.
Fortunately, both parties did not break up in the end, but broke up and said goodbye peacefully.
The army of Taiyi Sect monks led by Meng Zhang returned to Taiyi Sect safely without any hindrance.
This army, composed of monks from the Taiyi Sect and the Hanhai Dao Alliance, was retained by Meng Zhang and was not in a hurry to disband.
The situation in Jiuqu Province is changing rapidly, and Taiyi Sect may be on the battlefield again.
Although retaining this army will consume more resources, it can save a lot of time at critical moments and retain enough adaptability.
