Chapter 55: Not Optimistic (Ask for Recommendations)
He would rather the Beichuan Daoist Sect maintain the status quo as it is now, rather than push the Beichuan Daoist Sect into this turbulent and terrifying whirlpool with his own hands.
When Lao Dao returned to the Beichuan Dao Sect, there was already a group of people waiting for him to come back.
"Boss, what's wrong?"
"yes, is that Nine Emperor Prince's head really iron?"
"Hey, I just want to stop bothering our Beichuan Dao Sect. β
A group of old men who didn't look young gathered around, and when they talked about this matter one by one, they all looked sad, obviously not bothered by this matter.
"Prepare for it, close the mountain gate. β
Lao Dao didn't say much, and directly announced the result, even if he didn't say it before, he planned to close the mountain gate.
It was only in the end that a string was beating in his heart, so he went down the mountain to take a look.
It's a pity -
Lao Dao turned his head to look at the bottom of the mountain, originally every day under the mountain was a time when people came and went without interruption, but at this moment, no merchants and warriors dared to approach Longmen Pass again, and there was silence.
Lao Dao sighed slightly and shook his head, and the elders of the Beichuan Dao Sect who heard his decision were blown up.
"No, master, is it possible that His Royal Highness the Nine Emperor Princes is still preparing to stay in Longmen Mountain Longmen City?
"Ouch, ouch, it's terrible, what's wrong with the little doll now, can't you listen to persuasion!"
"If he doesn't leave, we are indeed going to close the mountain gate, otherwise as soon as the Su family comes, I am afraid that they will find us, and we will definitely be sandwiched between them at that time, and the two ends are not people, maybe we will suffer from the fish pond in the end!"
"Shut the mountain gate, close the mountain gate! I can't wait, oh my goodness!"
The elders screamed, and the sadness between their eyebrows was even thicker, looking at the gray hair on their heads, it was estimated that they were not worried about the affairs of the Beichuan Dao Sect.
No one objected to Lao Dao's decision, because that's what they meant.
Avoid but not fight, just for inheritance!
This idea runs through all the people of their generation of Beichuan Daoist sects, and it is precisely because of this that their Beichuan Daoist sects have been indisputable all these years.
Similarly, it was also a turtle cowering in Longmen Mountain, year after year.
......
After Lao Dao left the City Lord's Mansion, Zhou Tian asked people to bring Li Guang and Luo Yi over.
A few hours have passed now.
What is the situation in Longmen City, Zhou Tian is very concerned in his heart, and there is also a faint sense of urgency.
Especially after the old way came.
More than 50,000 elite troops! If you can, you can mobilize 30,000 elite troops at any time!
That's a real amount.
It's not the kind that claims to have an army of 50,000, but in fact there may only be about 10,000 or 20,000.
Before, Zhou Tian looked confident in the face of Lao Dao, but he actually wanted to pull the Beichuan Dao faction into his camp.
Although the power of the Beichuan Daoist Sect is not large, it also has two or three thousand disciples and strong men.
This kind of force is only afraid that it is more useful than the 10,000 warriors in Longmen City, and it is also powerful.
But alasβ
This old Taoist and Beichuan Daoist sect are really cowardly, and they don't even dare to reach out to ask for the great benefits he promised, and they will shrink up when they die.
There is no way, he doesn't have the Son of Heaven Sword now, and it is obvious that he can't forcibly subdue the Beichuan Dao Sect.
Twisted melons are not sweet.
Even if such a timid force is subdued, it is a question whether Zhou Tian dares to use it himself, otherwise he will admit it and retreat when he is frightened on the battlefield.
That's a bad thing.
"It's still up to you. Zhou Tian said secretly in his heart.
He took a look at the things in the space, these days they were hunting and turning in the ancient space, and they had also looted a lot of resources.
Not to mention the rest of the medicinal herbs, elixirs, ores, etc., even the heart marrow spiritual liquid, all of which have more than fifty drops!
Although the Heart Marrow Spiritual Fluid dissipates within a day after it is taken out, it can be maintained for a long time in space.
This is a big advantage of Zhou Tian, an advantage that others can't match!
"It seems that the strength of the defenders needs to be improved. Zhou Tian secretly decided in his heart, for now, improving the strength of the defenders is the best choice to enhance their power.
As for those warriorsβ
It's too miscellaneous, and in terms of the scale of combat power, they are definitely weaker than the elite army, and improving the strength of a single body does not have much effect.
So for the time being, Zhou Tian is not going to waste resources on them.
"My lord. β
"My lord. β
Not long after, Li Guang and Luo Yi returned to the City Lord's Mansion, their faces did not look relaxed, and they were in a hurry when they came in.
Time is ticking!
Now a few hours have passed, and the time for them to integrate the resources and combat power of Dragon Gate City may only be a few days.
In the course of a few days, they had to improve the strength of their men as much as possible.
If you want to win!
"It's back. β
Zhou Tian watched them come in, so he waved his hand to let them all sit down, and someone also brought tea, and only after the two of them took a slight breath did he say: "How is it? Now the situation in Longmen City is clear? Do the two generals have the confidence to fight?" β
"Lord, the situation in Longmen City is not optimistic. As soon as Zhou Tian's words fell, Li Guang said directly.
"Why is it not optimistic?" Zhou Tian raised his eyebrows.
"Food!"
Li Guang spit out two words in his mouth, and looked at Zhou Tiandao: "Now that Longmen City has been closed, and there are no merchants outside, with the current grain reserves in Longmen City, it can only supply more than 10,000 people in less than ten days, even if the Red Maple Chamber of Commerce sends some supplies, the general estimates that it will only last for about half a month at most." β
"That is to say, if we don't find a channel for food supply, then the Su family and other forces only need to blockade Longmen City and press the border, then half a month later, we must also go out to fight with it. β
"Half a month?"
Zhou Tian frowned, this number was really lower than his expectations, originally he thought that the grain in Longmen City would be enough for a month's reserves, but he didn't expect that it would not even be half a month.
"There are also weapons and equipment, bows and crossbows to defend the city, and other sharp weapons, although there are some reserves in Longmen City, but the number is not much, at most it is estimated that it can support a three-thousand-strong battle for three days. Li Guang said again: "And if there is a supply from the Red Maple Chamber of Commerce, then it should be able to reach five days." β
"What's the supply from the Red Maple Chamber of Commerce?" his heart was a little solemn, and Zhou Tian asked.
"I guess two or three days later. Li Guangdao.
"Since they are willing to accept this deal, then this Red Maple Chamber of Commerce should be quite bold, in this case, can we let them continue to provide supplies? Zhou Tian said slightly in his heart.
