"Linxiang's destiny has completely changed because of you."
"Linxiang is located at the junction of Yancheng and the noble territory. Many scholars and Taoists went to develop here. They neither had to hand over a large amount of profits to the nobles nor completely surrender to the Taoists. It was common for the grass to fall on both sides and eat from both ends. .”
"In the original destiny, after the fall of Dashiguan, Sun Qing immediately sent troops. When passing through Linxiang, he got the news that County Weiyan had marched into Dashiguan to kill Sun Tian. In anger, he massacred the entire Linxiang."
"Sun Qing boosted morale by massacring Linxiang. The living people of Linxiang were incorporated into the death camp and served as cannon fodder. In the protracted war, the people of Linxiang were wiped out. In the subsequent war between the two sides, Each other's limits continued to drop, and each other sent monks to massacre each other's bottom... Finally, a second-generation ferocious beast appeared. The ferocious beast caused the water of the Chao River to surge, thirty feet above the road, flooding Dashiguan, and Linxiang was also destroyed. Completely wiped off the map."
"At this moment, because Dashi Pass has not been lost, Lin Xiang chose to evacuate towards Dashi Pass, and his fate completely changed."
"Get thirty strands of the power of destiny."
Seeing this prompt, Jiang Hua was silent for a moment, and then called his uncle, Taoist Changkong, to prepare for a small meeting.
Taoist Changkong took out two crystal balls. After a few breaths, the faces of Jun Weiyan and Jun Chengyu appeared in the crystal balls. The two of them were handling official business in Yancheng at the moment. After receiving the news, they hurriedly found a hidden place and started the meeting.
"Uncle Yu, please give me a thorough introduction to the situation in Chao Kingdom."
"Seven days have passed since the monarch issued the order to destroy the Tao."
"In the past seven days, the path of destruction has begun in Chao Kingdom."
"In the past eight hundred years, Taoists have accumulated a large amount of wealth. The nobles have long been extremely jealous. Now if the Taoists' wealth can be confiscated openly, no one will refuse."
"Even the few lords who have a good relationship with the Taoist have confiscated the Taoist's wealth at this moment. As for those lords who were already hostile to the Taoist, they began to mobilize troops and besiege the Taoist's territory."
"The main force of the Chao Kingdom is now divided into two. The Taoist soldiers and the foundations are led by the monarch, and they are still trying to surround and kill Senior Tianyan in Meishan. The other part of the main force, led by Young Master Mao, is heading towards Taoist Tianyan. Leave the land."
As the high minister who has been in charge of the state affairs of Chao Kingdom for 800 years, the fiefdom of Taoist Tianyan is the base camp of Taoist people in Chao Kingdom. There is an area of a county there and there are many Taoists. Compared with there, Yancheng doesn't look so dazzling.
"The nobles are also busy mobilizing troops and horses at the moment, and first deal with the Taoists in or near the territory. Many of them are already at war, and some Taoists are stronger, but they are all on the defensive at the moment. Generally speaking, the nobles occupy An absolute advantage.”
Jiang Hua nodded slightly, then looked at Commander Yan: "Uncle Yan, how many troops in the entire Chao Kingdom can threaten us?"
"All four major Qing clans are fine, but the one closest to us is the Hu clan. The Hu clan suffered a disaster of annihilation two thousand years ago. Later, with the help of other Qing clans, it was revived again. Now the Hu clan's direct territory has In the eight counties, there are twelve nobles directly attached to the Hu family, hundreds of scholars, and thousands of countrymen."
"The Hu family has three thousand standing troops. With Hu's reputation, he can easily recruit tens of thousands of soldiers and horses. At a huge cost, the Hu family can even recruit more than 30,000 troops. However, the combat effectiveness of such an army is doubtful."
"If the Hu family shows all their secrets at all costs, this is of course impossible. It is okay to recruit some troops for a Dao-Destroying Order, but it is unrealistic to directly fight for it."
"What are the main forces of the Hu family doing?" Jiang Hua asked again.
"Currently, the Hu family has issued a recruitment order and is gathering people. At the same time, it is conducting a large-scale purge of the Taoists in the territory. Many Taoists serve as the Hu family's guests. The Hu family must first sort out their guests, and then Solve the Taoist problem in the territory of the subordinate nobles before sending out troops."
"Besides, even if a large army gathers, it will have to practice for a period of time before it looks like an army. So, we have at least a month."
Jiang Hua looked at the map in front of him. Yancheng was surrounded by mountains on three sides and the sea on one side. It had only one exit, Dashi Pass. But this does not mean that there is no way to come to Yancheng except Dashiguan. You can go into the forest and sneak into Yancheng from the forest and mountains.
But this road is too dangerous, and there are too many monsters and monsters in the forest. If you don't have any cultivation skills, just go into the forest, that's like tying your head to your belt and letting nature take its course. Whether you live or die, God has the final say.
On the periphery of the mountain range, there are also several nobles. Some of these nobles hate Taoists, while some do not hate or favor them. There are also several doctors near Dashiguan. Jiang Hua looked at the map again, raised his head and asked, "What if we take the initiative to send troops now?"
"You don't need to go too far, it's just limited to nobles near Dashiguan such as Yangcheng."
"We quickly gathered our troops, severely damaged Yangcheng, killed Sun Qing, the head of the Sun family, in a surprise attack, and then snatched away the Sun family's slaves. At the same time, we also took with us all the savages and common people who were willing to go with us. If you are not worried, , sent directly to Dongning Island to open up wasteland."
"As for the county town, there is a forbidden law barrier. A forced attack will cause too many casualties. The Sun family will not dare to leave the county town. Just loot the entire Sun family. Before leaving, the Sun family must send gifts before evacuating."
"The Sun family is just like a chicken. We need to show our prestige and let the nobles nearby know one thing: The king is too far away, but I, Jiang Hua, am too close!"
The strength of Chao Kingdom is indeed far higher than that of Yancheng, but this does not mean that the group of small and medium-sized nobles in front of them can also be on an equal footing with the Jiang family.
"When the time comes, tell them clearly that if there are Taoists passing through their territory, they are not allowed to stop them! If anyone dares to stop them, the army will be dispatched directly. If we can't defeat the monarch in a short period of time, how can we defeat these officials?"
"This time we send troops, we are fighting for a time lag. Before the main force of the Hu family arrives, we must first deal with these local snakes and obtain common people and savages from them, so that there will be a main force for land reclamation on Dongning Island."
"We can also take this opportunity to establish our reputation and make it famous in Chao Kingdom. Tell other Taoists that when they can't persist, there is still Yancheng to persist, and they can also go overseas through Yancheng. It's not that they have no way out, they even You can arrange your retreat in advance, and then have a vigorous battle with those nobles!"
"And the Sun family is a great opportunity for Yancheng to become famous!"
The bandits can go and I can go too!
"Uncle Yan, do you think this is feasible?"
Jun Weiyan did not answer directly, but began to point at the map, write and draw. After calculating for a moment, he finally nodded: "The mobilization of Hu's army will definitely not be hidden from us. This time difference does exist in theory. If you can catch it, if everything goes well, it will be great, but the risk is not small. Specifically, you need to plan carefully. So, so, so, so..."
