Granny Crane changed the true body of the feather crane, like a golden rainbow sweeping south. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Granny Crane is an immortal bird who has practiced at the mountain gate of the Taoist Zen Monastery for more than a thousand years, her giant wings are blowing in the wind, and it may take three or five days to return from Yunmengze, which is tens of thousands of miles away, but even if Granny Crane has not verified the death of the Great Heavenly Master, Gong Liang and Yan Yuan will not think that Ning Chan'er will lie about this.

Gong Liang always knew that the eldest brother Gong Qing's physical condition was very poor, otherwise he would not have stayed in Yunmengze all the time, and would not have rushed to Heyang to preside over the overall situation, but he also did not expect that the eldest brother Gong Qing would leave suddenly when the situation was so delicate.

He seemed to have been stripped of a vertebrae, and sat on the chair in a daze, silent for a long time, and his face seemed to age a lot in an instant.

Yan Yuan also seemed to have a piece of his soul drained, and sat there silently in despair.

Gong Liang and Yan Yuan are the two backbone figures of the Black Yan Army in Ganquan Mountain, after they heard the news of the death of the Great Heavenly Master Gong Qing, Chen Hai saw that they were so deeply affected and so depressed, it can be imagined that if the news really spreads, the morale of the middle and lower level generals and ordinary soldiers of the Black Yan Army will be dealt a heavy blow.

"What should I do?" Yan Yuan took most of the day before he came to his senses and asked Gong Liang a little.

Gong Liang and Yan Yuan didn't deeply feel the huge pressure on the Heiyan Army at this time, but the lesson of the destruction of the Dao Zen Academy was too heavy, and they finally occupied a territory of five or six thousand miles in Yanmen and Heyang, and they did not hesitate to transfer Yun Mengze and the elite disciples who had spread over the years in the counties of Yanzhou, and they had just run a little bit, how could they be willing to give up easily?

They also pinned their hopes on the situation in Yanjing to change, or maybe they could win one or two more brilliant victories on the battlefield west of Ganquan Mountain and south of Songpanling, and they decided to persist in Heyang County.

Hearing Yan Yuan's words, Gong Liang subconsciously looked at Le Yi.

No matter how unwilling they were, evacuating Heyang, preserving their strength, and distancing themselves from Yanjing became their top priority, and they could not wait for the moment when the situation in Yanjing changed further.

Now the question is, how can the main force of the Black Yan Army withdraw from Heyang unscathed, and where should the main force of the Black Yan Army go after withdrawing from Heyang?

Le Yi's original plan was to abandon Heyang County and shrink the battle line to Yanmen County, which had complex terrain, mountains and mountains, and dangers of mountains and rivers to defend.

When Le Yi formulated such a plan, the Great Heavenly Master Gong Qing had not yet passed away, and the cohesion within the Black Yan Army was not a problem, and it could maintain strong morale and use the terrain in Yanmen County to entangle with the enemy soldiers; Le Yi also believed that in this case, the Xiyuan Army and the Tiger Ben Army would not be too aggressive, so that the Black Yan Army would be able to get some respite in Yanmen County.

The death of the Great Heavenly Master Gong Qing, once the news leaks out, the impact is multifaceted.

First, the Black Yan Army retreated north at this time, and the morale and morale of the army will be dealt a double blow, and it is really difficult to say how strong the will to fight can be maintained when it retreats to the territory of Yanmen County.

The second is that the Xiyuan Army and the Tiger Ben Army know that after the death of the Great Heavenly Master Gong Qing, the offensive may not be so conservative anymore, and it is very likely that after the Heiyan Army withdraws to Yanmen County, the main forces of the Xiyuan Army and the Tiger Ben Army will continue to pursue them.

And after the death of the Great Heavenly Master Gong Qing, will the few hidden Heavenly List powerhouses of the Eight Clans of Jingjun become ready to move after there is no check and balance on their existence?

In addition to the legendary Wei Boyang, who did not know his life and death, the eight clans of Jingjun still had five powerhouses on the heavenly list alive at this time.

These five Heavenly List powerhouses usually hide from the world, regardless of clan affairs, nor do they hold specific positions in the court. Although there are also many contradictions between these five Heavenly List powerhouses due to clan interest disputes and different support for the crown prince Ying Dan and Emperor Yitian, it is undeniable that they are the most firm cornerstone of Yanjing City at this time.

Whether it is within the clan or inside and outside the court, the status of the strong man in the heavenly list is extremely lofty, and no force can withstand the loss of the strong man in the heavenly list, so even if the other party has the slightest possibility of checks and balances, the strong man in the heavenly list usually will not directly charge on the battlefield.

Therefore, Yanzhou has not seen a duel between the powerhouses of the Heavenly List for many years.

However, this cannot deny the strong and invincible combat power of the strong man of the Heavenly Rank; so far, Chen Hai can still remember the scene when the three swords of the Wuwei Divine Marquis Dong Liang split Tiebi Mountain and opened the passage for the army to go south out of Yulong Mountain, such a strong man does not have enough counterbalance forces, and if he encounters it on the battlefield, the blow he will receive will be devastating.

Once the news of the death of Great Heavenly Master Gong Qing comes out, the existence of the Black Yan Army's side to check and balance these Heavenly List powerhouses is gone, can they still wishfully think that these Heavenly List figures will continue to hide from the world?

The retreat of the Black Yan Army to Yanmen County seems to be five or six thousand miles away from Yanjing, but such a long distance, for the people of the Heavenly List, is not a matter of day and night - the main force of the Black Yan Army has withdrawn to Yanmen County, and all the high-level generals of the Black Yan Army, I am afraid that none of them dare to sleep in peace, and they have to think about whether their heads can be on their necks the next day.

If you don't retreat north to Yanmen County, where can you go?

The Red Mei Sect has another base in Yanzhou, in Yunmengze, which is 40,000 miles away.

Although Yunmengze also has thousands of miles of vertical and horizontal, but the swamps are full of poisonous miasma, it can be said that it is a barren wasteland between Jingxiang and Nanxiang counties, and in the early years, except for dozens of barbarian villages scattered and scattered, there was almost no human inhabitation.

It is precisely because of this that the Red Mei Sect was able to find a little gap in Yanzhou, where the sect lords were rampant, and took root in Yunmengze.

Even after decades of hard work, Yun Mengze absorbed the influx of displaced people and difficulties from all over the country on the basis of the original barbarian village, and reclaimed the land to build a city, at this time, it only developed to a population of two million.

Even if the main force of the Black Yan Army can tear through the heavy encirclement and interception, and can successfully withdraw to Yunmengze, it will be impossible for Yunmengze to feed more than two million men and horses.

What's more, once the news of the death of the Great Heavenly Master Gong Qing comes out, the clans of Jingxiang and Nanxiang are very likely to take the lead and send troops to attack Yun Mengze.

Almost seven or eight out of ten of the elite disciples cultivated by the Red Mei Sect over the years have been transferred from Yunmengze to the Black Yan Army, although the Red Mei Sect still has tens of thousands of soldiers and horses in Yunmengze, it is difficult to resist the fierce attacks of the clans of Jingxiang and Nanxiang counties.

Gong Liang then summoned the main generals of the Western Foot Army, the Northern Foot Army, and the Southern Foot Army to Zhongfeng to discuss the results of the negotiation, and it was still necessary to wait for Granny Crane to verify the news from Yun Mengze before notifying the Songpanling side.

In any case, the first step for the main force of the Black Yan Army is to shrink the battle line to the territory of Yanmen County, wait until the territory of Yanmen County is firmly established, and then discuss staying at that time.

Otherwise, the two main forces of the Black Yan Army in Heyang County were stared at at close range by the Xiyuan Army and the Tiger Ben Army, and if they did not open the distance, they would not be able to realize any strategic intentions in the panic of the people.

With two million men and horses retreating northward, it is not easy to withdraw from Heyang County under the surveillance of the enemy army, which is even larger, and it is first necessary to ensure the smooth passage of the northward retreat.

Le Yi didn't want to cause unnecessary associations and conjectures to the whole army, so he didn't directly restore his position as the chief general of the Chinese army, but let Le Yi, Ning Chan'er, and Chen Hai (ugly slave) all go to Huang Shuangjiao, the commander of the big camp in the north, as generals.

**************************

There are countless registered disciples of the Great Heavenly Master Gong Qing, but there are only a few people such as Le Yi and Ning Chan'er, among these few people, Huang Shuang, who is over ninety years old, is not Gong Qing's big disciple.

Huang Shuang was just an ordinary fire boy in the mountain gate of the Taoist Zen Monastery in his early years, after the Taoist Zen Monastery was destroyed, most of the boys and miscellaneous servants were dispersed, Huang Shuang was an orphan, and there was nowhere to go, so he hid in Tibet with the great heavenly master Gong Qing and Gong Liang and others, escaping the pursuit of the Ying clan.

Even after everyone landed in the depths of Yunmengze, Huang Shuangnian was more than fifty years old, and he only had the lowly cultivation of the Xuan Realm, and he was not able to cultivate the Linghai Secret Palace.

However, Huang Shuang, as an old man in the Taoist Monastery period, followed all the way to escape, and has always served as a registered disciple by the side of the Great Heavenly Master Gong Qing.

He was still in the deepest realm of Yunmengze once in the depths of the Great Heavenly Master Gong Qing, and hunted a fire wing snake that had cultivated into a climate, Huang Shuang took the fire snake pill that was very consistent with his qualifications, and his cultivation was able to advance by leaps and bounds, and it didn't even take twenty years to advance all the way and cultivate into a high-grade true fire Dao Dan.

In addition to Gong Liang and Granny He's older generation figures, among the new generation of disciples of the Red Mei Sect, there are three Dao Dan realm figures who have risen, and Huang Shuang is the one with the highest cultivation realm.

Since he stepped into the Dao Dan Realm, he had improved a small realm in less than twenty years, and at this time he was already a cultivator in the middle of the Dao Dan Realm.

Huang Shuang served by the side of the Great Heavenly Master Gong Qing for most of his life in his early years, and even after he became a successful cultivator, he followed the Great Heavenly Master Gong Qing to travel the world.

How many dark lines Gong Qing laid within the clans of the clans, and how many registered disciples he accepted, Huang Shuang knew the truth better than Gong Liang; even when Gong Qing had no time to get out, Huang Shuang traveled to various counties to pass on the Fa on behalf of his teacher.

If you want to say who Ning Chan'er is most familiar with and close to the Red Mei Sect, it is probably except for the Great Heavenly Master Gong Qing himself, that is, Huang Shuang, the senior brother.

Huang Shuang had doubts about Chen Hai's identity, but Le Yi and Ning Chan'er both confirmed Chen Hai's identity, and when they encountered such a major event as the death of their master, the grief in Huang Shuang's heart had to be suppressed, and he had no time to take care of this doubt in his heart.
