Chapter 259: The Dead
Not far from the border between the Eclipse Kingdom and the Lu Kingdom, a battle had just ended, and a messenger from the Pure Yang Palace was killed in a sneak attack, and then a miniature flying boat landed, and five people came down from the flying boat.
"My lord, the matter has been done, and the messenger did not give a warning before he died"
"Very good, go down and claim the reward"
"Thank you, sir."
Several of the monks who had attacked were overjoyed, and immediately turned around and left, leaving the five men behind.
"Li Lao Liu, it's up to you next"
"My lord, I hope you will keep your promise when the time comes"
"Li Lao Liu, you have been cooperating with us for more than 20 years, when have we broken our promise, rest assured, the second-order spiritual mountain and 10,000 mortals of the country are ready, and your Li family will be able to take root after you go, and you don't have to be angry in Yujing City anymore."
A night owl said with a smile, Li Lao Liu is a dead soldier they have cultivated for many years, he was originally a member of the Li family, a vassal force of the Pure Yang Palace, but his blood relationship with the main family of the Li family is extremely weak, so he has not received any attention to cultivation at all, it is nothing more than the kind of thing that is used as a slave cannon fodder to give something casually, and he has always been oppressed by the Li family monks.
So much so that when Li Laoliu was in his thirties, he was still a fifth-layer cultivator of the open pulse, until the people of the night owl found him, cooperated with him, inquired about the news of the Li family, and gave him a lot of support, and now he is in his fifties and has just entered the condensation period.
However, the Li family still has no shortage of condensation veins, especially this kind of condensation vein cultivators who have no future, so Li Lao Liu did not get any promotion, and Li Lao Liu got married quite early, and now he has twenty or thirty children and grandchildren, seven of whom have spiritual roots, and one of his sons and one grandson has good spiritual root qualifications, but seeing that they are quite excluded in the Li family, and the path will not be smooth because of resources in this life, so Li Lao Liu not only has no loyalty to the Li family, but is extremely angry.
After years of brainwashing by the night owl, Li Lao Liu has already given birth to the idea of breaking away from the Li family and establishing his own family, but the Li family will not let them go so easily, if you want to do this, you must have the help of the night owl, but the night owl will not easily give this kind of benefit, so it is natural for Li Lao Liu to pay the price.
This time Li Lao Liu is going to do a dead mission, no matter what the result is, the night owl will arrange for Li Lao Liu's descendants to leave Yujing City and go to defend the country, and the night owl will also give them a spiritual mountain, 10,000 mortals, if they manage it well, they will be able to take root in the defense of the country in twenty or thirty years, and they will no longer have to be oppressed by the Li family.
The night owls have always been known for their generosity and credibility, and Li Lao Liu can be regarded as trustworthy to them, so he quickly took off the death messenger's storage bag, broke it, took his clothes and put them on, checked his token seal, and rode away on the dragon horse.
Half a day later, Li Laoliu entered the camp of the Eclipse Kingdom as a messenger of the Pure Yang Palace, and saw Yun Shaoyang, Li Laoliu claimed to be coming on behalf of Lu Muyang, first bragged about the strength of the Pure Yang Palace, and then criticized the matter of the Eclipse Country's soldiers pressing the realm, and made disrespectful remarks, threatening that if the Eclipse Country did not retreat, the Pure Yang Palace would attack the Eclipse Country on a large scale and destroy the Biyun Gate.
Li Laoliu's words made a high-level cadre in the camp angry, Yun Shaoyang opened the letter that Lu Muyang gave him, and there were also some questioning words on it, although the tone was average, but under the backdrop of Li Laoliu, it seemed like a teacher asking for guilt, Yun Shaoyang made a look, and immediately had a henchman to kill Li Laoliu on the spot.
"Look at it, this is Lu Muyang's handwritten letter, the Pure Yang Palace is so deceitful and too much, can you bear it?"
"Ancestor, I can't bear it, Lu Muyang dares to bully us like this, we want to give him a good look"
"Yes, Ancestor, give the order"
"Okay, the new accounts and the old feuds will be counted together, and everyone will be rewarded tonight, eat and drink well, and tomorrow morning, go out of the camp to attack"
Yun Shaoyang waved his hand, and Li Laoliu's words also made him angry enough, the key is that he would not have thought that this Li Laoliu was a fake, after all, he still recognized Lu Muyang's handwritten letter, and there was the breath of a spiritual light monk on it.
Early the next morning, the Eclipse Kingdom dispatched 20,000 horses, 10,000 horses to confront the camp of Chunyang Palace, and another team of men and horses bypassed the camp and scattered in all directions to clean up the stronghold of Chunyang Palace near the border.
The people of the Pure Yang Palace realized that they didn't know what was crazy in the Eclipse Country, so they started fighting without saying anything, so they had to pull the mobilized people up again to maintain the situation.
On the side of the Eclipse Country, the mobilized people and horses from all walks of life continued to gather, and soon reached more than 50,000 people, and the Pure Yang Palace could only continue to mobilize people and horses if it wanted to maintain its momentum, and almost 40,000 people were hoarded on the border and could not hold out.
There are only so many people in the Pure Yang Palace, and after transferring most of the forces that want to support Chen Qinggu, Chen Qinggu's side is empty, and the night owl also intercepts and kills the messenger sent by the Pure Yang Palace to Cangguo, directly tampering with the content of the letter, and his tone becomes extremely humble, and Lin Xiao let the system real person mode make the aura of the spiritual light monk go up.
When Wu Muyang looked at the letter, he immediately felt that the Pure Yang Palace was delaying time, and wanted to withdraw and solve the Heavenly Eclipse Kingdom first, and then turn the direction to keep Chen Qinggu.
Therefore, this letter made Wu Muyang firm in his confidence, so Cangguo's side launched a fierce attack on the remnants of the original Chen State, and under one attack, Wu Muyang really found that the forces of Chen Qinggu were very weak, and the reinforcements of Chunyang Palace were very few, and it was estimated that most of the combat strength was contained by the Heavenly Eclipse State.
So Wu Muyang's courage was greater, and he soon mobilized a group of people, and in less than ten days, he attacked the periphery of Chen Qing Valley, Chen Anzhi of Chen Qing Valley united all the remnants of Chen Guo, and defended Chen Qing Valley, Cangguo could not be attacked for a while, but the reinforcements of Chunyang Palace were delayed, which also made Chen An's heart extremely resentful.
The general trend in the north has been achieved, Lin Xiao quietly left, and returned to the south of Chen Guo, at this time, the south of Chen Guo has all fallen into the hands of Tianyun Prefecture, the seven alliances have no morale, and there is no foreign aid, and there are spies of night owls inside, it is easy to win the seven alliances.
The backbone of the Assassin God was about 3,000 people, and in the end more than 2,000 people were killed, and the remaining more than 1,000 people broke through the defense line under the control of the night owl spies, and entered the wilderness, preparing to get out of the wilderness, and Tianyun Prefecture was not pursuing.
"Master Lin, the southern part of Tianyun Prefecture has been completely taken, and even the Daogang monks have died at the hands of me and your apprentices, which can be described as a complete victory, how is the north?"
"Everything is the same as planned, the Eclipse Kingdom is at war with the Chunyang Palace, the Cangguo is about to capture the Chen Qing Valley, Lu Muyang is at a loss, it is difficult to support alone, Lu Yan is on the way back, what about the north of Tianyun Prefecture, how is it?"
"It's going well, Chunyang Palace originally had an army of 10,000 people going south, but as soon as they reached Baiyan Prefecture, the Eclipse Country was dispatched, so they withdrew 7,000 people, and the remaining 3,000 people didn't dare to enter, so they gathered more than 4,000 people from Baiyan Prefecture and entered Tiannan Prefecture, Tiannan Prefecture also mobilized more than 4,000 people, gathered in the border, my Danyang Sect mobilized 3,000 people, and the Shanhe faction, Tianhaimen and Hongshanmen's 2,000 people each also arrived, and they were facing off at the border."
"What about the rest of the states?"
"It's still mobilizing, we sent people to warn us secretly, they don't want to get involved in our affairs, they just want to live a small life behind closed doors, so the mobilization is extremely slow, and under the pretext of asking for money, food and equipment from the Chunyang Palace, they haven't gathered people to come over yet."
Wang Dao replied, the smooth situation of the battle was completely beyond his expectations, he thought that the momentum of the Pure Yang Palace was coming, but he didn't expect that it was not the same thing at all, the Pure Yang Palace was restrained by the Cang Kingdom and the Heavenly Eclipse Kingdom before it made a move.
"Let's not be blindly optimistic, these states and counties are actually grass on the wall, they see that the Pure Yang Palace is restrained, so they naturally have the courage to disobey the Yang, which is also related to the reason for the lack of Lu Muyang's level, if Lu Yan comes back, they may not have the courage to do so, so we must take the initiative to defeat the existing 10,000 people in the Pure Yang Palace, respond to the Heavenly Eclipse Country and the Cang Kingdom, and by the way, burn the war to Tiannan Prefecture, and can't break Tianyun Prefecture."
"Attack, Lin Xiao, this, this is not a joke"
Wang Dao was shocked by Lin Xiao's boldness, after all, the Pure Yang Palace has been powerful for thousands of years, and the prestige is extremely strong, Wang Dao and the others who dare to resist the Pure Yang Palace feel that they are bold, but they didn't expect Lin Xiao to dare to attack.
"Of course it's not a joke, Lu Yan's methods are not comparable to Lu Muyang, after he comes back, he will definitely rectify the remaining seven states and counties, and they will have tens of thousands of troops in each state, and it will be difficult to defeat them when the time comes, now is the best time, we will make the situation happen, even if Lu Yan comes back, there is nothing to be done."
"But what to do here, just laid so much ground"
"Simple, take the surrendered monks away, let some of our people rotate here, and tell those surrendered monks that if they make great contributions on the battlefield, they can continue to obtain Lingshan, and our families will take out a little profit to be enough for them to eat."
"Okay, when the interruption continues, it will be chaotic, anyway, the face has been torn, so it doesn't matter so much, we will arrange it immediately"
"No, it's Wang Daoyou, you will arrange it, first hand over the command of the army to me, and I will immediately wave my army north"
"Are you in such a hurry, we don't have many people"
"It's enough, I'll take five thousand people here, plus what I have now, it's fifteen thousand, our Daogang monks are more than them, you let Shanyang send those reinforcements to turn around and come here directly"
Lin Xiao shook his head, the other party's 10,000 horses, he had enough people in his hands, four of the seven Purple Mansion Twelve-layer monks that Bai Zichen took away at the beginning broke through Daogang, and only three failed, so there were ten Daogang monks on the face of the Heavenly Saint Sect, and three people were sent to defend the country, and there were seven more, Lin Xiao was ready to expose them all and let them float on the water.
In addition, with the addition of four people from Danyang Sect and one person from Hongshanmen, there are eleven Daogang monks in Tianyun Prefecture, Tiansheng Sect left two people to watch the house, Chen Guonan left two people, and one more person in Tianyun Prefecture, and there are still six Daogang on the bright side that are enough to mobilize, and on the other side, Lin Xiao believes that there are at most four people, and Daogang in Baiyan Prefecture and Tiannan Prefecture may not be willing to work hard.
Lin Xiao took two thousand disciples of Tianyun Prefecture and three thousand captives to the north, no matter what those prisoners thought, it was forced anyway, and batches of materials were also transported to the border of Tianyun Prefecture and Tiannan Prefecture with the outbreak of war, and the atmosphere of the war became stronger and stronger, and the road was full of monks running to make contact.
