"I think the proposal that Sect Leader Shen said to his ancestors today can be considered, now that we are born in troubled times, our Tianluo Sect plans to move back to the Central Plains, if there is no armed force as a backing, whether it is the Song State or the Qi State in the future, our living space will be squeezed." Yang Yi still habitually called Shen Nanxing the sect leader.

"Sect Master Yang is right, the Song State has the Heavenly Sword Sect, and the Qi State has the Tianqi Sect, no matter which of them finally destroys the Chu State, they will definitely support their own local sect. Although we have many masters, in front of tens of thousands of troops, it is not worth mentioning at all. Zu Qingzhi also agreed with Yang Yi's opinion.

Shi Luosheng glanced at Jiang Wan'er, and was very embarrassed in his heart, Jiang Huanyan would help him to conquer Naba City, although there was an element of establishing a military base overseas, but it was more because he promised to leave the Song Kingdom and no longer be involved in the dispute between the five countries on the mainland. Now if he decides to kill again, I don't know what Jiang Huanyan will think.

Jiang Wan'er knew what he was thinking and comforted: "At this time and that time, the third brother won't say anything." Besides, now in the dispute between Qi and Song, Daqi is in a weak position, and if we come back at this time, maybe we can solve this deadlock. It's just that General Deng is on his side, and he will inevitably have a conflict with him in the future. She has always been afraid of Deng Yuanjue.

Shi Luosheng didn't care about Deng Yuanjue: "Don't worry, even if we really come back, the marching route is also southwest." Except for Jiangzhou, Ba County, Shu County and Rongcheng on this line, which are still in the hands of Chu, the others are in the hands of the Southern Barbarians, and there will be no direct conflict with Qi and Song. ”

"Since the sect leader has decided to adopt Sect Leader Shen's suggestion, should we use the name of the Tianluo Sect for this incident, or should we change the name to a new one?" Yang Yi's heart was as careful as a hair, knowing that it was inconvenient for Shi Luosheng to appear in the Central Plains with his true identity for the time being, so he deliberately reminded him.

Shi Luosheng thought for a while: "Let's let Mr. Shi start an incident under the banner of the Tianluo Sect, and then transfer Teacher Ling and Mr. Wang to Tianzhu Peak, over the years, our Tianluo Sect has cultivated a lot of generals who can fight naval battles, but there are only three of them who really have land combat experience, except for me and Zixuan." After they arrived, they were responsible for recruiting and training troops in Heavenly Witch City. Sect Master Yang, is the money and food on Tianzhu Peak enough to form an army of 30,000 people now? ”

As the deputy sect leader of the Hidden Star Sect, Yang Yi naturally had a clear understanding of Tianzhu Peak's family background: "When it was peaceful a few years ago, the money and food on the mountain were enough for three years. However, in recent years, due to war, the harvest in various places has shrunk significantly, and the existing grain stocks to support the 30,000 army are only enough for half a year at most. ”

Zu Qingyi frowned when he heard this: "Half a year is too short, the time for recruiting and training the army is not enough, it seems that we can only transport a batch of supplies from overseas first." ”

Yang Yi was a little worried: "Will the supply of 30,000 people be too big, the three kingdoms of Qi, Chu, and Song are at war, and the road leading from Qi and Song to Tianwu Mountain has to pass through the battlefield, which is too unsafe." In the end, there was only a poor jingling Yan Kingdom left, but don't be accidentally snatched away by them in the middle of transportation. ”

Shi Luosheng also felt the same way: "The practice of directly transporting supplies from overseas is neither safe nor long-term, we should divide the existing forces into two major parts, overseas to overseas, and Central Plains to Central Plains, although the two belong to the same Tianluo Sect, but there should not be too much contact with each other." Of course, in the early stage, I will transfer a batch of funds from overseas to directly purchase equipment and food locally, but in the later stage, all expenses must be solved by myself, and we must not become dependent. ”

These words made everyone present very incomprehensible, since they were all from the Tianluo Sect, why bother to divide each other? But Shi Luosheng has decided, and they can only accept it.

Half a month after the meeting, Yang Yi was responsible for recruiting young men and women to enlist in Tianwu City, while Zu Qingzhi was responsible for purchasing a large amount of food and equipment in nearby counties. The grain purchased from the people is also purchased at the market price, and it is absolutely not allowed to suppress the price or to take advantage of it.

Although Tianwu City is a pure land and has not been affected by the war, after all, it is a city formed by a gathering of villages, and the infrastructure and material resources are very scarce, and the people in the city are not rich.

Yang Yi is the idol of the teenagers in Tianwu City, he immediately caused a sensation in the whole city as soon as he went down the mountain to recruit soldiers, and after some young people asked about the treatment, they signed up for the army one after another, regardless of the relationship between the Hidden Star Sect and the Tianluo Sect, and recruited 50,000 people in less than seven days.

Shi Luosheng had no choice but to select the best of the best, eliminated 20,000 people, and finally maintained the establishment of 30,000 people. As soon as the conscription ended, it was lost to Liu Zixuan for training, and before Ling Zhen arrived at the post, Liu Zixuan was all in charge.

A month later, Shi Pre, Ling Zhen, Wang Lun, Wang Chiji and others finally came to Tianzhu Peak with a group of Tianluo Sect backbones, and at the same time, they also brought a silver ticket of one million taels of silver, which allowed the finances of Tianzhu Peak, which was about to go bankrupt to operate again.

After Yang Yi finished handing over the matter at hand, he and Hua Haoxuan took Shen Nanxing, who was getting more and more injured, and the major elders of the Hidden Star Sect to make a detour to Jiaozhou, and from there set off back to Naha. After they left, Shi Luosheng also took the opportunity to change the persons in charge of various key positions on Tianzhu Peak.

During the period when Shi Luosheng was preparing for the incident, several battlefields in the Chu State were not idle, first of all, Xiong Huan in Jiangdu made a big joke.

He found that Xiao Yin, the eldest prince of the Song Kingdom, actually swaggered into Xuchang City with his troops, and his Zhongxing ministers Hussar General, Zhongyong Marquis, and Xuchang Taishou Xing Kan actually did not resist at all, but went out of the city ten miles to greet him.

After some inquiry, I learned that before he rewarded Xing Kan, he had already surrendered to the Song Kingdom, and he had stupidly rewarded so much gold, silver and titles, and this matter was also a laughing stock among the Five Kingdoms.

In the direction of Xiakou, the combined forces of Xiang Chu and Tian Wuji's Qi and Chu also encountered stubborn resistance from Xiao Che, the third prince of the Song State. When Tian Wuji almost succeeded in attacking the city several times, he was attacked by the Song State's naval army, resulting in a failure.

Tian Wuji was furious because of this, and asked Lu Xinghai to send thirty warships from the Nujiao gang to participate in the battle, so that he could turn the tide of the battle and gradually gain the upper hand.

Just when Xiao Che was about to lose his support, Deng Yuanjue asked Xiao Daocheng for advice and transferred another deputy commander of the navy, Yue Shouming, to Xiakou, which stopped the decline, and the two sides fought another draw.

In the direction of Xuchang, Jiang Huan Chu's troops were at a disadvantage, and the routine of sneaking up on Liang Jun and Chen Liu like last time was also blocked by the Song army.

Xiao Yin and Xing Kan don't understand military affairs, but they have a common advantage that they know that they don't understand, so they firmly follow what Wu Teng explained before leaving, no matter what happens, they will not be greedy to go out of the city to face the battle, so that Jiang Huanchu's various plans to lure the enemy have failed, and all he can do in the end is to attack.

But Xuchang is a big city, the city is high and the walls are strong, all kinds of city defense equipment are sufficient, and Wu Daocheng, the commander of the city defense army, is also a good general carefully selected by Wu Teng from his own army, and it is almost impossible for the Qi army to take it in a short time.

The Qi army was in a stalemate on both battlefields, but Deng Yuanjue's side of the Song army was like a bamboo, and after taking Shouchun, he took Chuzhou and other places all the way, and the 150,000 army approached Jiangdu.

"General, Jiangdu is close at hand, why are you not stationing?" Wu Teng, Zhou Yunjing and others didn't understand why Deng Yuanjue didn't attack Jiangdu.

Deng Yuanjue stood in front of the table, looked in the direction of Jian Ye and asked, "If I take Jiangdu, how do you say Your Majesty will reward me?" ”

Wu Teng and the others glanced at each other, and thought to themselves: "The general is already a duke, and the credit he made this time is much higher than the last time he won Jizhou County, except for the prince, Xiao Daocheng really has nothing to show up." ”

But what the king with a different surname means, all the generals present knew it, and they also understood the reason why Deng Yuanjue was stagnant.

"Father, why don't we divide our troops and go to other counties first?" Deng Wenhao wants to avoid the important and light.

"After that, won't Jiang Du fight?" Deng Yuanjue asked.

The generals bowed their heads and were silent, Wu Teng and the others knew very well in their hearts that Xiao Daocheng invited Yan Chixing after Deng Yuanjue sent troops, and this intention was obvious, that is, to wait until the day when Emperor Xiong Huan of Chu bowed down and became a minister, and also replaced Deng Yuanjue.

As long as Deng Yuanjue returns to Jianye, no matter what awaits him, his political career is over, so what will happen to the remaining Deng generals?

Wu Teng gritted his steel teeth: "General, it's better for us to support the army and stand on our own." ”

Seeing that Wu Teng opened his mouth first, all the generals from Xun Yuqing to the bottom knelt on the ground, even Zhou Yunjing, who had just surrendered, was also among them, asking Deng Yuanjue to stand on his own.

Deng Yuanjue sighed: "My Deng family has been loyal to the Great Song Dynasty for generations, does my generation have to do such disloyal and unrighteous things?" ”

Deng Wenhao persuaded: "It's not that my Deng family is disloyal, but that the Great Song Dynasty doesn't have a foothold for my Deng family." ”

Deng Yuanjue glared at him fiercely: "Did you think about your eldest brother and third brother before you said such things?" Wen Ying is stationed in Yulin City, Wen Jie is still on an errand in the palace, in addition to the two of them, there are hundreds of people in the Deng family in Jianye, have you thought about what will happen to them? ”

"There is no problem on General Wen Ying's side, he still has 50,000 troops in his hands, Your Majesty can't help him, General Wen Jie has to find a way to rescue him." Wu Teng saw that Deng Yuanjue was angry, and hurriedly relieved Deng Wenhao.

Deng Yuanjue helped up the generals who were kneeling on the ground: "As long as Your Majesty does not harm my Deng family, I will never do anything sorry for the Great Song Dynasty, all the princes please get up, and we will send troops to Jiangdu tomorrow." ”

The generals saw that Deng Yuanjue had made up his mind, and they did not dare to persuade him again. After everyone retreated, Wu Teng quietly walked back: "General, even if you don't plan to stand on your own, you can't help but be on guard, Your Majesty first invited Yan Chixing, and then sent the two princes here, isn't this intention obvious?" ”

Deng Yuanjue glanced at Wu Teng and asked rhetorically: "Then tell me, how should I guard against it now?" ”
