Chapter 120: Crazy Qingshan County
Heaven must first make people crazy if they want to destroy them, it is a famous saying in this world, and now, Cheongsan County is starting to go crazy because they have begun to hire robbers.
Qingshan County thinks that his madness is justified, more than ten years have passed since the Three States War, and he has also developed madly in the past ten years, but compared with Tianyun Prefecture, not only has no one shrunk, but it is constantly expanding.
It has been more than ten years since they got the Danfang of Kaifu Dan, but in the past ten years, they have only gathered the materials of two furnaces of Dan, because these materials are too few, the number is small, and there are many forces to compete for, three in Tianyun Prefecture, two in Ninghe Prefecture, and more than a dozen in Jingzhou, all of which have Kaifu Dan's Danfang.
In particular, those forces in Jingzhou have a lot of money, which has increased the cost of obtaining materials in Qingshan County several times, and now they have to go far away to collect them, and they have also lost a lot of manpower for this.
Six Kaifu Pills, plus their success rate is not high, only three Purple Mansions have been added, originally they had six Purple Mansions, but now they have increased it through various methods, and it is only eleven people, but how many Purple Mansions are there in Tianyun Prefecture?
Now there are eleven Purple Mansions in one Danyang Sect alone, not to mention the Tianhai Gate, Hongshan Gate, and the Heavenly Saint Sect, the reduction in the number of Purple Mansions has already put them in an absolute weakness in terms of high-end combat power.
And Tianyun Prefecture has been integrated by the Danyang Sect to develop all the spiritual mountains in the territory, and as these spiritual mountains begin to produce resources, regardless of the size of the forces, they are all violently improving their strength, and even the Iron Sword Sect, a small sect that does not enter the stream in Tianyun Prefecture, now has nine condensing vein cultivators and four or five hundred vein opening disciples.
Therefore, the strength of Qingshan County is compared with Tianyun Prefecture, whether it is high-end combat power or overall strength, it is weak, there was still a Ninghe Prefecture that could be won over before, but now even the Ningshui faction will no longer believe them.
Under this strong pressure, the major forces of Qinghe County, led by Bishui Pavilion, began to give it a go, and they also strengthened the ties between the various sects, each contributed their own funds, and made a large amount of Xuanjing, but this money was not used to develop the remaining Ownerless Spirit Mountain, but to prevent the development of Tianyun Prefecture.
So Huh, they hired robbers, in the world of cultivating immortals, robbers and bandits are never scarce, those who seem to be honest and loyal to loose cultivators may become cruel robbers in a blink of an eye, and the outlaws who are willing to sacrifice their lives for Xuanjing are even more unknown.
Therefore, within three months, these robbers, who were funded by Qingshan County, poured into Tianyun Prefecture, and attacked the Lingshan of six small sects in a row, killing hundreds of monks, and blowing up two spiritual veins.
After that, the Danyang Sect reacted quickly, and through the alliance system of the Nine Sects, it quickly eliminated these bandits, but with little effect, because these people did not have any characteristics, after gathering, they were bandits, and after they dispersed, they were ordinary loose cultivators.
And to rectify the scattered cultivation of the entire Tianyun Prefecture, this is something that no sect can do, because half of the economy of the entire Tianyun Prefecture is contributed by these scattered cultivators, like the Danyang Sect, their sect has dozens of hundreds of alchemists, and only a small half of the pills they refine are used by themselves, and most of them are sold through Tianluo City, and the casual cultivation accounts for more than half of the customers, because the number of casual cultivation is too much.
According to the statistics of the Danyang Sect, there should be about 18,000 to 20,000 monks in the major sect families in Tianyun Prefecture now, and the number of scattered cultivators is at least 40,000 or 50,000, and the total number of Tianluo City and Gongmingfang City alone is more than 7,000.
And Bishui Pavilion's strategy is also very clear, he let those robbers deal with those weak and small sects, such as Tianluo City and Gongmingfang City, which are mainly harassment, and the small forces can't stop the siege of those robbers at all.
········
"Everyone, let's start voting, how to solve this matter, outward or inward"
In the main hall of the Danyang Sect, the principals of the major forces in Tianyun Prefecture have all arrived, and the current grim situation has to let the Danyang Sect raise the banner and once again coordinate the forces of the whole state to deal with it.
And Danyang Sect also gave two solutions, the first is to immediately provoke a war with Qingshan County, once the war breaks out, Qingshan County must also go all out, they have no financial resources to continue to pay those robbers, without the temptation of money, those robbers have no courage to continue to offend Tianyun Prefecture.
The second way is to turn inward, that is, by gathering the dragon horses of various sects, to form a strong cavalry force of monks, these cavalry units will be scattered all over the place, and then the whole state will be connected, and if there is an alarm, immediately pull the net over, rescue the victims, and eliminate the bandits.
Both methods have advantages and disadvantages, the first to provoke a war is a way to cure the root cause, but the cost is too great, to be honest, both sides are not ready for war, rash war, both sides suffer great losses.
The second method is to treat the symptoms, although it cannot cure this kind of thing, but it can greatly slow down the situation and continue to buy time for the development of Tianyun Prefecture.
Lin Xiao chose the second solution for the first time, the Heavenly Saint Sect is not ready for war now, not even mobilized, Lin Xiao is ready to earn enough benefits for the Heavenly Saint Sect during the second battle of the three states, so he is ready to form a battle hall team composed of a hundred condensing vein cultivators, which is still far away, and at the same time, he has to leave enough guard strength for the Heavenly Saint Sect, and give him another ten years, the Heavenly Saint Sect can at least have three or four more Purple Mansion monks.
Tianhaimen and Hongshanmen also chose the second chapter solution at the same time, seeing that the three sects all made such a choice, the remaining small sect families also followed suit and chose the second plan.
"Okay, since we have chosen the second plan, then follow the plan, this time the plan I Danyang Sect calls the Iron Wall Encirclement Plan, we have to transfer six hundred condensing vein monks, twelve Purple Mansions, to form a powerful monk cavalry team, and then divide into twelve teams, each team is stationed at the strategic point of Yunzhou throughout the day, once it is found that a certain spiritual mountain is attacked, the team that enters must immediately rescue, and the rest of the team is to form an encirclement and get closer, and the rest of the sect family forces must enter and exit again, receive the instructions of the Danyang Sect, and there must be no hesitation, otherwise don't blame me for the ruthlessness of the Danyang Sect afterwards, and wait for a more specific situation, Now my Danyang Sect has six purple mansions and three hundred condensation veins, what about you?"
"There are a hundred monks from Tianhaimen, and there are four purple mansions"
"Eighty monks from Hongshan Gate, two purple mansions"
"The Heavenly Saint Sect has sent fifty monks, and it is okay for me to participate."
"It's no problem for the remaining sect to send out seventy condensing vein cultivators."
Danyang Sect Qi Sheng nodded and said, this matter is to focus on the four major sects, only they can afford this person, if the rest of the sects have too many people, it will be dangerous, and they will become the target of those robbers.
After there are enough people, it will be the horses of the dragon horse, six hundred dragon horses, no one has so many, so they can only make up the whole state, so it will be made up quickly.
Then it is to determine the general plan and assign tasks, the most prosperous place in the entire Tianyun Prefecture is the north, the northwest is the Danyang Sect, the northeast is the Hongshan Gate, and the south of the Hongshan Gate is the Tianhai Gate, and a large open space in the middle was very barren before, including the place that went all the way to the south, until the rise of the Heavenly Saint Sect.
Therefore, what we have to guard against is this huge area in the middle, excluding the other five major sects that can guard their own spiritual mountains, twelve teams of people and horses are enough, and the distance between them is only one or two hundred kilometers.
After the plan was formulated, everyone immediately rushed back to each house and began to implement the plan, and Lin Xiao also asked Bai Zichen to send fifty condensing vein cultivators to fight.
At this time, there are already more than forty condensing vein cultivators in the battle hall, just transfer a few more, and there will be no big mistakes, and the Heavenly Saint Sect is still enough for Ryoma, so there is no need to wait for someone else's Ryoma to send it.
As soon as the ironclad encirclement plan was announced, the entire Tianyun Prefecture was shocked, and Qingshan County was the same, six hundred condensing vein cultivators, they said that they would take it out, this was already terrifying, you must know that this is not wartime, there is no kind of cannon fodder to the condensation vein, all of them are the real power of each sect.
Qingshan County may be able to gather six hundred condensing vein cultivators to come out, but that is the situation of hollowing out the family's foundation, unlike the current Tianyun Prefecture, where each sect still has enough strength to guard.
The plan to encircle the iron wall went smoothly, the six hundred condensing vein cultivators suppressed countless scattered cultivators, and the vast majority of the outlaws gave up the original plan, and the remaining bold ones did not die, once they started, as long as they did not immediately break through the spirit mountain, the end would be extremely miserable.
After failing several times in succession and killing hundreds of robbers, the rest of the robbers suddenly disappeared without a trace, and the entire Tianyun Prefecture became extremely calm, which made people feel very uncomfortable, compared with the panic and anxiety some time ago, the gap was too big.
After three months of carrying out the Iron Wall Siege Plan, Bishui Pavilion's obstruction plan went bankrupt, and no robbers were willing to take over this business, because no one wanted to send them to death, and those who had the strength would not send them to death, Bishui Pavilion could not afford to pay for it.
Three months later, the Danyang Sect announced the names and origins of hundreds of robbers, learning from the practice of the Heavenly Saint Sect, chasing and killing these people indefinitely, regardless of the source, as long as they brought their heads and confirmed that they were wanted, they could receive rewards, and this practice made countless robbers decide to be people with their tails between them within a few decades.
The iron wall encirclement plan ended, and the condensation monks of the small sect and the small forces returned to the sect and returned to their respective homes, but the people of the four sects of the Danyang Sect were not disbanded, and even gathered together to practice, because the Danyang Sect had already decided to form a powerful monk cavalry unit to be used in the subsequent Sanzhou War.
You must know that more than five hundred Condensing Vein Cultivators are an extremely powerful force, and this force has gained a strong mobile power, it will be an extremely terrifying thing.
This news was not hidden from anyone, and Qingshan County also began to set up cavalry troops, which made those sects that produced dragon horses a lot of money, and from this time on, a new round of arms race had actually begun.
