Chapter Ninety-Five: The Clouds of War

"Tianxiang, how are you preparing?" Zhuge Hongzhi asked after breaking the silence

"No, many of the remaining problems have not been resolved, after all, the time is too short," Mu Tianxiang sighed.

"It's hard for you, but this time we can't fail, if we succeed, there is still a chance to live, and if we fail, my best result is exile. Zhuge Hongzhi said.

"Things are man-made, some things can't be explained, and we may not have no chances. Mu Tianxiang comforted: "What are the requirements of Dabi this time?"

"Liuyun Sect controls four secular countries, namely Da Yue Kingdom, Chishui Kingdom, Yunmeng Kingdom and Wild Horse Empire, this time the main battlefield is in Chishui Country, four of my six county fiefs are in Chishui Country, my second brother is the same, but Da Yue Kingdom He has two fiefs, I only have Ping'an County, and my other fief is in Yunmeng Country ......" Zhuge Hongzhi briefly introduced.

"There are now a total of eight counties in the Great Yue Kingdom, what about the other counties, will they participate in the war?" asked Mu Tianxiang.

"Except for the Wild Horse Empire, which is the residence of the Liuyun Sect, and there is no subdivision, the other three empires are all divided into our sons and daughters or some elders and offerings. Zhuge Hongzhi paused and said: "Of the other five counties in the Great Yue Kingdom, my eldest sister is one, my third sister is one, and the others are all elders. They don't participate in the competition of the suzerain, so this time Dabi doesn't participate. ”

"This time you are competing with the second son?" asked Mu Tianxiang.

"The younger generation, there are also several elders' sons who are qualified to compete for the position of the sect master, and their fiefs are also in the Chishui Kingdom, but their strength is not good, and they are only foils. Zhuge Hongzhi said.

"Your main task is to find a way to drag down the men and horses of Tianhai County and Tianya County, so that they have no time to support the big war in the Chishui Kingdom, so that I can transfer the soldiers and horses of one county from the Yunmeng Country and achieve a favorable situation in the Chishui Country. Zhuge Hongzhi said his thoughts.

"I will do my best," Mu Tianxiang said.

"Don't be afraid of losses, this victory, I will give you the entire Ping'an County," Zhuge Hongzhi patted Mu Tianxiang on the shoulder and promised.

"Young Master Xie!" Mu Tianxiang also has his own ideas, but he is not mature yet, but from the heart, Mu Tianxiang is not optimistic about Zhuge Hongzhi.

A person who occupies the reputation of the righteous young master of the Liuyun Sect, but is evenly matched with a rebel, and his ability cannot be regarded as passing. And looking at the chaotic situation in Ping'an County, the other fiefdoms can be better there.

But Mu Tianxiang has no good choice now, after all, if there is a betrayal of this reputation, the consequences are still very serious.

"Young master, can you send me some monks this time, after all, I have very few monks. Mu Tianxiang said.

"I don't think so, Chishui Country will be the main battlefield, and I have about the same strength as Zhuge Hongyun, so I can't draw many people. However, this time I brought you 100,000 high-grade spirit stones and 2,000 fifth-grade pills. You can recruit some monks and add them to the army. Zhuge Hongzhi said.

"Young Master Xie!" Mu Tianxiang also knew that this might also be Zhuge Hongzhi's limit.

As for these family backgrounds, Mu Tianxiang probably obtained them from the mausoleum of the Silkworm Emperor. Otherwise, Mu Tianxiang estimated that Zhuge Hongzhi would be good if he could take out 10,000 spirit stones.

Zhuge Hongzhi came and went in a hurry, visited the army's drills, talked to some officials, and encouraged everyone to overcome the difficulties together, and left in a hurry two days later.

Time is in a hurry, and it will soon be the end of the year, less than three months away from Dabi!

Mu Tianxiang did not blindly expand the army, he still took the route of elite soldiers, and now the armies of Tianyu City, Tianfeng City, and Tianhuo City add up to 700,000, and there are nearly 5,000 monks, although most of them are low-level monks of the Xuan and Huang levels. Mu Tianxiang felt that it was enough.

The key is that there are many, and Mu Tianxiang can't afford to raise it, so he puts all the benefits from Tianfeng City into it.

"There are still three months to go, Ma Xiaoke, you ask the commanders of each army to take people to the surrounding mountains to experience it, it's time to see blood!" Mu Tianxiang said.

"Yes!" Ma Xiaoke went down to execute.

"Hao Jun, how is your condition?" asked Mu Tianxiang.

"No problem, the terrain has been touched, and I have buried more than a dozen tons of explosives under the walls of Haicheng, which is definitely enough for them to drink a pot. Hao Jun said proudly.

"So many, haven't you been discovered?" Mu Tianxiang asked worriedly.

"No, Haicheng's defense array has not been opened at all, and there is still a lot of singing, dancing and singing, those monks don't participate in patrolling at all, how can ordinary soldiers find us. Hao Jun said.

Mu Tianxiang nodded, believing that Hao Jun would not lie on such a crucial matter.

And as the attacker, Tianhai County's careless Mu Tianxiang can also guess. They felt that Mu Tianxiang would never take the initiative to attack. Therefore, it is not surprising that the opening of the key large array will cost spirit stones, and it is not a small amount. I am usually reluctant to open it.

"Since Hao Jun has already planted so much explosives, we must carefully consider the timing of our detonation. Li Muran, who came from Tianfeng City to discuss, said.

"Tell me!"

"Detonating before the siege, although it can have a sudden effect and can quickly break the city, but after the city is broken, ordinary soldiers can say it, but those monks see that they can't disobey it, and they scatter and flee, and it is difficult to pursue it that is not conducive to our follow-up plan. Li Muran said.

"What do you mean......"

"That's what I think, when we are going to attack the section of the city wall where the Hao army planted explosives, we will attack fiercely, attract most of their monks, and then detonate them, which will be conducive to total annihilation. Li Muran said.

"You're so sinister, but I like it!" Hao Jun laughed.

"In this case, the losses in the siege will be very large. Mu Tianxiang glared at Hao Jun and said.

"The losses during the siege will be larger, but if you count the losses recovered later, the effort is still worth it. And it can completely solve the troubles. Li Muran said.

Mu Tianxiang stopped talking, thinking about the gains and losses.

"Mr. Pastor, look at the map. Li Muran said.

"What's wrong?" asked Mu Tianxiang.

"The location of Pyongan is exceptional. To the east is the main vein of the Hengduan Mountains, and the only entrance and exit is Weihu Mountain. To the west is the Liuyun River, which belongs to Liu Miaomiao's territory. To the south is Tianhai County, to the south is the sea, to the north is Tianya County, and to the north is Wolf Valley!" Li Muran said, pointing to the map.

"What do you mean?" Mu Tianxiang looked at the map carefully.

"We're looking at the enemy right now, and the situation is unfavorable. But if we destroy Tianhai County, and then destroy Tianya County, then the entire territory will be ours. Li Muran said excitedly.

"What you mean is that there are mountains to the east and the sea to the south, and the Cold Ice Country is across the river from us, so there is no need to worry about Liu Miaomiao's help. As long as the Wolf Valley is occupied and the valley mouth is blocked...... Mu Tianxiang understands that Li Muran's plan is very grand and is likely to be realized.

"Therefore, we are not in a hurry to rescue that half of the county, and when the people of Tianya County destroy that half of the county, we will take Tianhai County, and then fight a decisive battle with the people of Tianya County in Tianhuo City, win, sweep down the trend, occupy the Wolf Valley, and build a strong city, so that we will swallow the land of Tianhai County, Ping'an County, and Tianya County, which is also equivalent to half of the Great Yue Kingdom. Li Muran pointed to the map and said.

"If the eldest prince wins, these places will definitely be re-sealed, and it is impossible for us to give them to us!" Mu Tianxiang said with a sigh.

"The eldest prince wins, we don't think about it, we will defend Ping'an County, slowly accumulate strength, and wait for the opportunity. But what if you lose. There will definitely be no good results for our dependent forces, anyway, if we die, it is better to ......" Li Muran agitated.

"We are going to face a full-scale crusade from the Flowing Cloud Sect, can you withstand it?" Mu Tianxiang asked with a smile.

It seems that Li Muran is not optimistic about Zhuge Hongzhi, some things are a knife to stretch out his head, and a knife to shrink his head, why not fight out a piece of the world, Mu Tianxiang's mood suddenly brightened.

"Bloodthirsty Sect, Heavenly Imperial Gate, it's not like we haven't done it before, and for this small territory, there are no spirit stone mines and cave heaven blessed land. How determined the Liuyun Sect can be is also debatable. After all, there are many places in this world that the sect can't manage. Li Muran said with a smile.

Although the sect controls most of the territory through the secular kingdom, there are also some places that are independent, not because the sect cannot be destroyed, but in the eyes of the sect, it is not worth it.

After all, the purpose of the sect to control the secular world is also for resources, not to do good deeds, and it is not worth the sect to pay without a spiritual stone mine and a place for the blessed land of the cave.

"Then make a plan, Hao Jun sent someone to touch the environment of Wolf Valley and get ready. Mu Tianxiang said.

Hao Jun was now dumbfounded, and he felt that he was already very bold. But compared with Mu Tianxiang and Li Muran, it is simply a small thing. The two of them talked and laughed and decided the fate of half of the kingdom and the belonging of tens of millions of people. Who are they, Hao Jun was speechless.

"Why don't you move?" Seeing that Hao Jun didn't move, Mu Tianxiang reprimanded.

"Yes, ...... immediately" Hao Jun hurriedly arranged for someone to execute.

"How are you doing over there?" asked Mu Tianxiang.

"No problem, it's already been rehearsed, the people of Nanbatian can transport 50,000 people at a time, and I am ready to take 100,000 people to clean the rear of Tianhai County. It's not a big problem to think about it, after all, the people of Tianhai County are concentrated in Haicheng. Li Muran said.

"How is your cultivation now?" Li Muran spent too much time on the war, and the time for cultivation was limited, Mu Tianxiang asked with concern.

"The Xuan level is high-level, it's stuck there, don't worry!" Li Muran said indifferently.

"You're almost fifty this year, and you still have to pay attention to your cultivation. Ouyang Xiaoweaving was a little tricky, but it really didn't work for her to think of a way. Mu Tianxiang persuaded.

"I can't stand that suffering, and I'm not here," Li Muran waved his hand again and again.

Mu Tianxiang knew that Li Muran was not unable to endure hardships and pain, but that he was suspicious of Ouyang Xiaoweaving's methods, and he would recover in at least one year. After all, Li Muran did not practice "Chiyou Forging Physical Skill".

Mu Tianxiang also wanted to promote the "Chiyou Forging Body Skill", but Long Dao said that not everyone could practice this kind of exercise, and in the end, only a few people such as Ouyang Xiaotian, Hu Bing, and Tang Baoen could practice.

Wait for things to be free, let Li Muran rest for a few years, after all, cultivation in this world is still very important. Mu Tianxiang no longer persuaded him.

The time for Dabi is getting closer and closer, and everyone is beginning to prepare for the battle. Tianhai County unsurprisingly began to concentrate people in Haicheng, and Mu Tianxiang, who knew the news, was completely relieved. Mu Tianxiang also began to secretly transport troops to the stronghold established by Zhang Wei.

The clouds of war have filled the entire sky.
