Chapter 1908: The Western Wilderness Situation
The complexity of the West Wilderness shì is complicated by the involvement of too many forces.
After all, the Western Wilderness connects the major sects and the gathering place of the demon clan, and for a long time, the business here has developed and the economy has prospered, but all the powerful and powerful families here have already turned around one by one.
Therefore, the power controllers here will not give up their power lightly.
The consequence of this is that when Emperor Wu rebelled and fled to the border of the Western Wilderness, Jiang Baitao, who was guarding here, first blocked Emperor Wu and let Emperor Wu join the Black Panther Army.
Immediately afterwards, the Seventh Immortal Emperor photographed Du Zhenyang coming to the Western Wilderness to suppress Emperor Wu with Jiang Baitao, which seemed to be in good shape, but it turned out that Du Zhenyang and Jiang Baitao had preserved their strength and let the local troops in the Western Wilderness go to death.
The result of the battle with Emperor Wu was very obvious.
Not only did Emperor Wu fail to exterminate it, but the border army in the Western Wilderness suffered heavy losses, losing nearly 100,000 people.
The Seventh Immortal Emperor had no choice but to send troops again, allowing Long Feihu to lead 180,000 people to come for reinforcements, and officially ordered Long Feihu to manage the military operation to exterminate the rebels.
However, the ideal is very plump, and the reality is very skinny.
After Long Feihu arrived in the Western Wilderness, the first large-scale war with the Black Panther Army was a crushing defeat, with the Immortal Dynasty losing a total of 160,000 people, while the Black Panther Army lost no more than 30,000 people.
Since then, the originally one-sided situation has become confusing in an instant.
When the Lei family army of the Thunder Blade swept the Fire Eagle Legion in Nanzhou, the Western Wilderness fell into tranquility.
On the one hand, the Black Panther Legion was unable to counterattack, and Emperor Wu needed to cultivate and recuperate to recruit troops, on the other hand, on the side of the Xianling Dynasty, Jiang Baitao, Du Zhenyang, and Long Feihu competed for power and profit, and each refused to accept its own and began infighting.
And the leaders of the frontier army of the Western Wilderness, although they have the intention to exterminate the rebel party, will also restore the peace of the Western Wilderness. But helplessly, the combat effectiveness of their troops was too weak, and the first few wars were mainly due to their heavy casualties, plus they had no status and power, so they could only do it in a hurry, and in the end, they simply didn't care.
Therefore, the situation in the Western Wilderness is so deadlocked.
And Emperor Wu's side, taking advantage of this opportunity, continued to grow bigger, and Thunder Blade got the news that Emperor Wu had begun to unite with many sects in the Western Wilderness, allowing the disciples of those sects to join his troops.
On the other hand, it is rumored that Emperor Wu has also been in contact with the demon side, and there has been no response from the demon side at present. But once the demons are willing to cooperate with Emperor Wu, then it will be a fatal blow to the Western Wilderness Frontier Army.
Emperor Wu unites the Western Wilderness Sect and the Demon Clan, once it succeeds, when the time comes, even if the major forces of the border army unite, they will definitely not be opponents.
After analyzing the shape of the Western Wilderness, the day after Lei Blade arrived in Xiliang City, he summoned the five generals of the Western Wilderness to a meeting.
In addition to those three generals, there were also two local generals in the Western Wilderness.
It's a pity that Thunderblade summoned three times in a row, the first time only two local generals came, the second time only one local general came, and the third time, no one came!
Three meetings were fruitless, Thunder Blade was furious, this time, he saw the temper of these wealthy generals, thinking that with the backstage support, they dared to do whatever they wanted!
"Boss, what should I do now? Those guys don't like us at all. ”
In the face of such a situation, Ni Qiang had a bitter face, Chen Chao was also helpless, Han Ziqian was a good hand at fighting, playing politics, and he was also a layman, otherwise, he would not have had a hard time in the Fire Eagle Legion at the beginning.
In the living room, several people sat on chairs, all with disappointed expressions on their faces.
Han Ziqian slapped the table angrily: "In this situation, how can you fight?" As soon as His Majesty's order came out, I knew that he was pushing our Lei family army into the fire pit! ”
"But no, only let us bring 50,000 people over, the other five, the least has 90,000 troops, we have the weakest troops, how to care about them? Alas, what exactly is the intention of His Majesty, I really dare not speculate. Chen Chao shook his head and sighed.
Ni Qiang frowned and said: "What's not to say, I've heard it a long time ago, some people are worried that our boss will support the army and rebel by himself, so His Majesty came up with this strategy, not only to cut General Lei's more than 300,000 people to only 50,000, but also, to send us here, I don't think he wanted to let us go back alive." If you want the boss to exterminate the rebel party for two years, I'll do it, this situation can't be done in two lifetimes! ”
The three of them complained like a resentful woman.
However, after complaining, they also had to face this reality, and the three of them looked at Thunder Blade, who had not spoken.
"Lei Shuai, what should we do next?" Han Ziqian asked in a low voice.
Thunder Blade kept his head down and thought about it, thinking about it, and if he didn't give these people a dismount, he felt that it would be difficult for him to gain a foothold in the Western Wilderness.
It is said that the new official took office with three fires, and since the Seventh Immortal Emperor gave him the power to lead the army, as well as the power to cut first and then play, then he didn't care, and he had to kill these people's breezy majesty!
"Ni Qiang, you immediately send a letter to them again, requesting that within three days, you must rush to Xiliang City for a meeting. The payment directly warned them, and within three days, they would be beheaded for public display! Thunderblade stood up.
When Ni Qiang heard this, his face twitched, and he said, "Boss, do you really want to behead the public?" These people, the official positions in the background, are all bigger than you, and these people are very close to His Majesty, if we behead their descendants, I'm afraid that the imperial court will not let us go. Besides, those five generals are all in the city they are stationed in, even if we want to cut off their heads, we don't have a chance, we are currently the weakest force in the Western Wilderness......"
Ni Qiang spoke out of everyone's hearts.
However, Thunder Blade didn't see it that way, and Yan said, "Just send it out according to my words." If they don't come, Lao Tzu will definitely cut off his head! ”
"That'...... Okay, I'm going to send the letter. ”
……
After Lei Blade's strongly-worded summoning letter was sent, the next day, two local generals rushed to Xiliang City.
The other three generals, on the third day, almost unanimously came to Xiliang City.
When these three people entered the city, the pomp was still very large, and they competed with each other, just like the nobles of the palace.
On the fourth day, the Council Hall of the City Lord's Mansion of Xiliang City.
The five generals plus Lei Blade, Han Ziqian, and Chen Chao, eight people gathered around the rectangular table in the conference hall, and they happened to sit at one table.
At the beginning of the meeting, no one spoke, and the five generals were all doing their own things, cutting their nails, chatting in a low voice, drinking tea, and completely ignoring the three of them.
Thunder Blade suppressed the anger in his heart, broke the silence, and mocked: "A few people have a lot of face, I have invited it four times before I can please your master!" ”
