After receiving the news of the arrival of the Divine Cult Army, the Shu army, which was originally planning to continue advancing north in the morning, had to stay and repair for a while, and Yang Yi and Shama Naigu needed to come up with a countermeasure.

In the afternoon, the military marquis spies sent out sent back the news: the 40,000 Divine Sect troops from the direction of Qianzhou Mansion were encamped in Huanxiang Mountain, which was quite dangerous, and it seemed that they had no intention of attacking the Shu army.

After listening to the report of the military marquis, Yang Yi and Shama Naigu showed sad faces at the same time.

Shama Naigu looked at the marching map flattened on the table, and said with a solemn expression: "Wu Huan is trying to drag us to death." ”

Yang Yi also smiled bitterly: "It seems that we have underestimated this Heavenly Spirit Master. ”

When they learned that there were 40,000 gods and sect troops marching towards the Shu army, Yang Yi and Shama Naigu actually hoped that Wu Huan would underestimate himself and come to engage in a field battle with the Shu army. Although the strength of the Divine Cult Army was nearly twice that of the Shu Army, neither Yang Yi nor Shama Naigu doubted how much of a disadvantage the well-equipped Mountain Army would have, but on the contrary, it was much larger than the Divine Cult Army in terms of overall strength.

However, this is limited to a head-to-head confrontation in the field, and now the Divine Cult Army is stationed in Huanxiang Mountain, relying on the geographical and numerical advantages to resist the Shu army, even if the Shu army can capture Huanxiang Mountain, the loss must be unimaginable.

Wu Huan knew that the Shu army would not have too many troops coming through the Daque Mountain, and the supply of the Shu army was also a huge problem for such a long-distance operation. The Divine Sect army held Huanxiang Mountain, on the one hand, it could delay the advance of the Shu army and wait for the Shu army to run out of food and grass, and on the other hand, it would give the Immortal Sect enough time to mobilize heavy troops from other places to rush over.

When the Shu army could not hold on and the army's morale was weakened, the Divine Sect army defeated the Shu army in one fell swoop with several times the strength.

I have to say that this Wu Huan does have some ability, and it is not entirely accidental that he was able to go from a down-and-out scholar to the head of the Immortal Sect admired by thousands of people.

"Wu Huan's move is very powerful, he grabbed our death hole." Shamanagu shook his head.

Yang Yi glanced at Shama Naigu and said, "What do you think?" ”

Shamanagu smiled bitterly: "What else can I do, either fight or retreat." But... Just retreated to Shuzhong like this, and I, Shama Naigu, couldn't afford to lose that person. ”

Yang Yi also shook his head and said: "We can't withdraw, we have been preparing for half a year to enter Qianzhou, and at this time, the loss is too great, and..."

Shamanaigu smiled and said, "And once we can't take Qianzhou this time, I'm afraid it will be difficult to find another opportunity." ”

Yang Yi used Daque Mountain to enter Qianzhou unexpectedly, such a surprise attack strategy can only be used once, once the Shu army retreats this time, Wu Huan will definitely send heavy troops to guard the exit of Daque Mountain, and it is almost impossible for the Shu army to cross Daque Mountain again.

Since they all agreed to retreat, then they could only fight.

How to fight? Yang Yi discussed with Shamanaigu and the generals in the army for a whole afternoon, but they did not find a good solution.

"Tomorrow, I will lead the troops to Huanxiang Mountain to test the depth of the Divine Sect Army, but if it doesn't work, we can only come hard." Shamanaigu said helplessly.

Yang Yi didn't speak, of course he didn't like such a strong attack, but he couldn't make any useful suggestions.

At this time, Monkey Jian'er hurriedly walked in from outside the military tent and reported: "Your Highness, Dong Yuan is back, he wants to see you." ”

"Dong Yuan?" Yang Yi was taken aback, he didn't expect this guy to come back so soon, and hurriedly said, "Let him come in." ”

After a while, dressed in civilian clothes, Dong Yuan, who was in the dust, hurriedly walked in, came to Yang Yi and Shama Naigu, bowed down and bowed: "Dong Yuan has seen His Highness, I have seen General Naigu!" ”

Yang Yi stepped forward to help him up and said with a smile: "How can you make such a mess." ”

I saw that Dong Yuan was dirty, his stubble was crawling all over his cheeks, and his eyes were red, as if he hadn't slept well for several days.

Dong Yuan smiled and said a little embarrassedly: "Back to Your Highness, after seeing the family teacher, the subordinates dared to come back day and night, and basically did not stop along the way." ”

"Huh? Have you met Bao seniors? Can you say hello to his old man for me? Yang Yidao.

Yang Yi asked Monkey Jian'er and Tie Niu in his spare time, Dong Yuan's master, Bao Qiu, the head of Qianzhou Jinshuimen, is an old man on the rivers and lakes, his martial arts are very high, and he is an upright person, not only has a high reputation in the south, but also has a good reputation in the entire Daguang Martial Arts, such an old-timer, Yang Yi should naturally show due respect.

Dong Yuan was helped up by Yang Yi, and couldn't wait to say: "My master is very good, and when the family teacher heard that His Highness led the troops into Guizhou, he immediately expressed his willingness to help His Highness!" ”

Yang Yi was taken aback when he heard this, and seemed to be a little surprised why this Bao Qiu was so refreshing, you must know that helping the Shu army is to anger the Immortal Sect, which is a matter related to the life and death of the entire sect of their Jinshui Sect.

Dong Yuan seemed to see Yang Yi's doubts, and said hurriedly: "Your Highness doesn't know, just some time ago, our Qianzhou Mansion's martial arts faction Guiyun Pavilion killed an elder of the Immortal Sect because of the injustice of the disciples in the sect, and then suffered the bloody revenge of the Immortal Sect, and almost all the doors were wiped out.

At that time, the family teacher and several heads of the Qianzhou Sect heard about this, and hurriedly went to Guiyun Pavilion to save the Guiyun Pavilion master, but unfortunately the Changsheng Sect started too quickly, and the family teachers were still one step late. Later, this matter reached Wu Huan's ears, and Wu Huan was extremely dissatisfied with the martial arts people in Qianzhou. A few days ago, the family teacher heard the news that Wu Huan was ready to take action against the martial arts factions, if it wasn't for the war in the south, I am afraid that our Jinshuimen and Qianzhou martial arts factions would have been murdered. ”

Yang Yi was stunned, he didn't expect such a thing to happen in Qianzhou.

Martial arts forces are a very special group in any place, and they are extremely sensitive in the eyes of the rulers, if you quietly practice your martial arts, there is nothing to do, once you dare to question the authority of the ruler, it will only usher in the ruler's revenge means of cutting the grass and eradicating the roots.

Qianzhou Wulin offended the powerful Immortal Sect, and he knew what would happen to them with his feet, and now he was still alive but Wu Huan couldn't spare his hands to deal with them for the time being, once the war was over, then Qianzhou Wulin would face a catastrophe.

Therefore, Bao Qiu was overjoyed after learning the news that Yang Yi had entered Qianzhou in Shuzhong, as if he had met a savior.

Yang Yi thought for a while and asked, "Then what are the old Bao seniors going to do?" ”

Dong Yuan said: "My master and his old man have secretly contacted the heads of various factions and are ready to gather to respond to His Highness, in addition, the brothers of the Extreme Immortal Sect who went with me have also gathered many righteous people who oppose the Immortal Sect, and roughly estimated, there are at least more than three thousand people!" ”

"Three thousand?" Yang Yi was pleasantly surprised, as if he didn't expect there to be so many people.

Dong Yuan nodded and said, "I came back this time to ask Your Highness how the righteous army should respond to the Shu army." ”
