Three days later, under the supervision of Situ Hong and others.

An expeditionary force was formed by an elite group of elite troops from all over the world, as well as some front-line armies.

This expeditionary force totaled 20,000 men.

10,000 in the early stage of consecration, 7,000 in the middle of consecration, and 3,000 in the late stage of consecration.

In addition to Wu Yangshu and Chu Ke, several Immortal Venerable masters also joined them.

This kind of thing is naturally indispensable to Yan Nanming, who has "disappeared" for a long time.

After Liu Feng came out of the tower, he went to the southwest city to help the southwest defense line.

Yan Nanming, as a firefighter, was naturally rescued by Liu Feng's arrival.

Yan Nanming, who had regained his free body, left the Western Regions Continent as soon as possible, and Bai Zhou, the master of the Sword Pavilion, could only shake his head helplessly about his behavior as a junior brother.

In short, this expeditionary force was well-equipped from head to toe.

Another point is that with the Barbarian Witch Army entering the Ancient Continent, Xuefeng is also in the ranks of the expeditionary force.

When Chu Ke returned to Tianwu Island to deal with family affairs, Xuefeng found him.

Chu Ke knew that the Blood Family was also a famous family in the Barbarian Witch Continent, and he knew that he would not be defeated in a hundred battles.

He simply asked his brother-in-law about the situation in the Barbarian Witch Continent.

After all, the map in Wuyangshu was also left over from the last continental war.

Although the geography of the cities in the Barbarian Witch Continent has not changed, the distribution of forces of all parties should still be asked by Xuefeng, an insider.

On the same day, Xuefeng asked Chu Ke for a piece of paper, and then wrote down everything he knew.

This brother-in-law gave Chu Ke the feeling that this was a simple and naïve person.

There are not so many bad intentions, and at the same time, they are not involved in the whirlpool of disputes over rights and interests.

It is really rare to have such an existence in the Great World Clan.

It's no wonder that the Blood Queen entrusted him with the fragments of the Two Realms Ritual Wheel, as well as the news.

"Senior Martial Arts, this is the list of forces in the Barbarian Witch Continent. Chu Ke walked into the secret conference room of the expeditionary force and spread the large piece of paper on a large table.

Several other Immortal Venerables in the expeditionary force looked around the table, and the various forces in the Barbarian Witch Continent were all expressed on this list.

People like Ju Xinshui and Jiang Hanming also wrote about this.

"It only writes what forces are in what direction and who is in charge, and there is no specific content about him. One of the Immortal Venerables looked at the list and said.

"I'm ashamed, although my wife and brother are out of the big family, I don't know about these, and I can only know a rough idea. Chu Ke said.

The list written by Xuefeng only gave a rough idea of the strength he knew on the Barbarian Witch Continent.

If you have some clarity, write more, such as what the leader is probably cultivating and who are under his hands.

And some of them are far away, he can only know one name, and some of them he doesn't even know the name.

"Enough is enough. Yan Nanming said loudly, "A little guy, he is not engaged in intelligence. It's not easy to write so many things, and no matter how specific it is, we need to find it ourselves. ”

As he spoke, Yan Nanming raised his hand and slapped it on the big piece of paper.

"The thing on this piece of paper is a guide, so that we don't have to be headless flies. ”

Everyone said yes.

Wu Yangshu looked around at the people in this room, there were a total of twelve people in this conference room besides himself.

The cultivation of these twelve people is uneven, there are first-class tops like Yan Nanming, and there are also late Immortal Venerables like Chu Ke.

But there is no doubt that none of the Immortal Venerables who can appear in this conference room are fuel-efficient lamps.

Chu Ke was the weakest, but he was probably the hardest person in the group to kill.

After communicating with the Nirvana Ding Instrument Spirit, Chu Ke can be said to have mastered the secret of the Nirvana Ding in some aspects.

Nirvana's healing ability can almost bring Chu Ke back to life.

To put it bluntly, if Yan Nanming didn't change his body, he could have killed Chu Ke directly with a full sword.

But now Chu Ke will be restored by Nirvana Ding in an instant before death comes.

The healing ability to the extreme, Zhao Jiayi's migration and relaxation are much inferior.

After all, Zhao Jiayi still needs a lot of preliminary preparations, and Nirvana Ding is instantaneous.

As for the others, they are also equipped with unique skills, and their cultivation is not low.

In away battles, Wu Yangshu values the ability to help team operations, rather than blindly bravery.

Besides, is there a fierce general on the Ancient Continent who is more suitable for attacking fortifications than himself?

"Ladies and gentlemen, Marshal Situ asks to see you. ”

While everyone was talking, suddenly the sound of the announcement from the door outside sounded.

"Marshal Szeto, please. Wu Yangshu replied.

After a while, Situ Hong, dressed in civilian clothes, stepped into the door.

"Martial seniors, fellow Daoists, the 20,000-strong army has been counted, and the roster has been prepared. Situ Hong arched his hand at everyone and said, "Please wait for you to set a date for departure." ”

"Yes, Senior Martial Arts, can you tell me when we are leaving?" said an Immortal Venerable.

"Two days from now. Wu Yangshu smiled and said, "Leave some time for the soldiers to prepare." ”

The Barbarian Witch Continent, in the mansion of the city lord of Xiquan City, Xizhou, Zijin.

Ju Xinshui, who had a long beard, sat in the mansion wearing black armor, and there were two documents on the table in front of him.

One of these two documents was information from the front line, and the other was sent by Su Yuangang, the commander of the rebel army in Zhengping Dongzhou.

"Father. A young man walked into the hall and bowed to Ju Xinshui, who was sitting at the table.

Ju Xinshui looked up and saw that the person who came was his second son Ju Xingwen.

"What is the movement of Jiang Hanming's soldiers and horses?" asked Ju Xinshui.

"Father Qi, Jiang Hanming's soldiers and horses are still stationed in Zhongquan City and have not moved. Ju Xingwen said.

"The scouts we sent out reported that Jiang Hanming had already left Zhongquan, but his specific whereabouts were unknown. ”

"Did you leave Zhongquan?" Ju Xinshui glanced up at Fang Liang, and then said thoughtfully, "Are you going to report to the Demon Venerable Palace Master?"

After speaking, Ju Xinshui slowly stood up.

As you can see, his hair is already slightly gray.

Ju Xinshui circled around the table twice, his eyes kept looking at the floor at his feet.

After two laps, he stopped.

"Ordered the whole army to pack up and prepare to retreat to Upper Spring City. Ju Xinshui said.

"Father, why is this?" Ju Xingwen was shocked.

He couldn't understand why, suddenly his own father would say such an order.

"Father, although Jiang Hanming is leading the army in Zhongquan right now, with the strength of our army, we can completely protect this Xiquan City. Ju Xingwen said eagerly.

"Moreover, once the army retreats to Shangquan, then Pingquan City, east of Xiquan City, we will also give up to Najiang Hanming. ”

"Xingwen, you think your father's idea is very strange, don't you?" Ju Xinshui walked up to Ju Xingwen and asked.

"I think my father is old, maybe he is confused, and he actually made such a stupid move. ”

"The child will never dare!" Ju Xingwen was frightened and quickly knelt down.

It's just that he was just about to kneel, but Ju Xinshui held his ribs with one hand.

"I know, you can't figure out why I would give up the current situation, which is not bad, and directly retreat and let the two big cities give Jiang Hanming, right?" Ju Xinshui looked at Ju Xingwen and said meaningfully.

"That's because Su Yuan has just been defeated, so I don't need to fight Jiang Hanming anymore. ”

Ju Xingwen looked at Ju Xinshui, and there was still a puzzled look in his eyes.

Seeing this scene, Ju Xinshui couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

He sat down behind the table and raised his hand to signal Ju Xingwen to sit in front of him.

"Xingwen, let me ask you, what kind of general do you think Jiang Hanming is?" Ju Xinshui said.

"To put it nicely, he has read a lot of military books, but to put it mildly, it's just a straw bale. Ju Xingwen unceremoniously said his evaluation of Jiang Hanming.

"Then what do you think of Li Quanyi, what is his person?" Ju Xinshui mentioned another name.

"It's a difficult character. Ju Xingwen said, "But Father, Li Quanyi is still in Zhengping Dongzhou at this time, what are you mentioning him for?"

"Dongzhou? I'm afraid I'm going to come to Xizhou soon. Ju Xinshui closed his eyes and frowned.

"Father, how could Li Quanyi come to Xizhou?" Ju Xingwen asked, "There are Su Shuai and others in Dongzhou, even if Li Quanyi is powerful, it is impossible to solve the war in Dongzhou at this time." ”

"Su Yuangang will be that kid's opponent, you can see for yourself. Ju Xinshui shook his head and threw the two letters on the table in front of Ju Xingwen.

Ju Xingwen took a look, and it didn't take long for his face to turn pale.

"This, this, how could it be, shouldn't it......" Ju Xingwen put the letter back on the table, his hands trembled uncontrollably slightly, "Su Shuai is also a famous general in the world, how could he suffer such a fiasco?"

The letter said that Su Yuangang, the commander of the righteous army in Zhengping Dongzhou, fought head-on with Li Quanyi's bandit army in Donglu City, and Su Yuangang was defeated.

Now Su Yuangang is gathering the remnants of the army while moving closer to Shunyang City in the north.

But as soon as Ju Xinshui saw Su Yuangang's actions, he knew that Su Yuangang had been forced to a dead end, and he would do so because he had nothing to do.

The Barbarian Witch Continent is different from the Ancient Continent in that the Barbarian Witch Continent is spliced together by four continents in the southeast, south, and northwest, and there is still sea water between the four continents.

Shunyang is located in the northeast corner of Zhengping Dongzhou, only separated from Yuanlong Beizhou by a strait.

On the other side of the strait is Qin Tongfang, the commander of the bandit army in charge of Yuanlong Beizhou, and the base camp where he is stationed - Anxin.

Su Yuangang gathered the remnants of the army and gathered towards Shunyang City, which was a dangerous plan to take advantage of the fire.

Once he enters Shunyang, then he will face Li Quanyi's Northern Expedition, and Qin Tongfang will most likely appear to go south.

This is clearly the way to die, Su Yuangang, as a generation of famous generals, could it be that he suffered a big defeat from his juniors, so he lost his mind and collapsed, and he made such a stupid move to break the jar?

Ju Xingwen was terrified, but Ju Xinshui understood the truth of Su Yuangang's "death".

Today's Dongzhou Rebels are already embattled and precarious, and if they don't retreat to Shunyang, they will only be wiped out by Li Quanyi on the road.

And retreat to Shunyang and collect the remnants of the army, when Su Yuangang has a regular army with strong combat effectiveness.

Collecting troops in Shunyang, Su Yuangang's purpose was to gather forces to break through.

But the direction of the breakthrough is not from the south, but from the north.

He was going to cross the strait and break through in the direction of Yuanlong Beizhou.

Is this theoretically possible?

Yes, and probably not small.

Although Anxin had Qin Tongfang stationed there, Qin Tongfang wanted to go south and Li Quanyi to wipe out Su Yuangang, but also take into account the pressure from the direction of Beizhang City in the east of Anxin City.

Beizhang City is the base camp of the rebel army in Yuanlong Beizhou, and its commander Guo Yike is a general who is good at pursuit and raiding.

If Qin Tongfang made a big move and wanted to go south, Guo Yi would first send troops to attack Anxin.

If Qin Tongfang does not sit in charge of Anxin, Anxin may be breached.

At that time, even if Su Yuangang was wiped out by Li Quanyi and Qin Tongfang, then the entire Yuanlong Beizhou would also fall into the hands of the righteous army.

This is definitely something that the Demon Venerable Palace Master does not want to see.

If he didn't go south, Qin Tongfang asked other generals to block Su Yuangang's landing, and there was only one result.

Su Yuan had just landed successfully, and suffered at most losses.

And once Su Yuangang successfully landed, a climate would form in the east of Yuanlong Beizhou.

At that time, there will be Su Yuangang in the east and Guo Yi in the west, no matter how great your Qin Tongfang ability is, I am afraid that it will be difficult to escape defeat.

What a clever plan, Ju Xinshui couldn't help but say in his heart.

Ju Xingwen is his son after all, even if it is not as good as himself, after such a while, Ju Xingwen himself has noticed the cattiness.

After thinking about it, he came to the same conclusion.

"Father, this is a good thing. Ju Xingwen said excitedly, "Su Shuai's move will undoubtedly fall into the hands of my righteous army in Yuanlong Beizhou." ”

Seeing Ju Xingwen's appearance, Ju Xinshui was both happy and regretful in his heart.

Happily, his son finally saw Su Yuangang's thoughts, although it was a little slower.

It's a pity that after he saw Su Yuangang's strategy, he didn't expect the impact of this strategy on the battle situation in Zijin Xizhou.

"Su Yuangang's chess move is good, and Jiang is worthy of being old and spicy. The corners of Ju Xinshui's mouth curled up with a faint smile, picked up the iron needle at hand, and lit up the candle on the table.

"But this move can allow my rebel army to control Beizhou, but on the other hand, Xizhou will give up most of it. Ju Xinshui sighed and said, "At least, south of Shangquan City, you can't ask for it." ”

Ju Xingwen looked at his father, he wanted to know why his father wanted to order the whole army to retreat to Shangquan City in the north from just now.

At this time, although there was some speculation in his heart, he still hoped that his father could give an explanation.

Ju Xinshui looked at Ju Xingwen and explained: "Once Li Quanyi drives Su Yuangang to Shunyang, he will definitely leave his army behind and rush to Xizhou, and Yu Jiang Hanming will start to deal with Yu and me together." ”。

"Jiang Hanming is just a maltose, and he has no other skills, but he has stuck my army of more than 100,000 here, and he can't get out in a short time. ”

"When Li Quanyi comes, this piece of maltose will become a lawn mower, and I must make room in advance to avoid his first knife. Otherwise...... The consequences are unpredictable!"
