Chapter 555: Advance War
The arrival of Xie Yuanji and reinforcements not only increased the Dao army of Tianmang Mountain to 14,000 people. It has also greatly improved the morale of all departments in Tianmang Mountain.
Zhang Dehuai's previous training of the Dao army was very effective. But in fact, the morale of these more than 10,000 spiritual cultivators is very worrying.
On the one hand, they were nervous and even dissatisfied with the news that they would be stationed in Daqishan in the next few months, and on the other hand, they were not at ease with Zhang Xin, a young overly but careless commander, although this star winner had made many brilliant achievements in recent years, but could not dispel their worries.
If it weren't for Xue Yunfan's extreme pressure, the army might have been boiling over the sky a long time ago.
It wasn't until Xie Yuanji and the three thousand elite Dao troops arrived that many spiritual cultivators in the army felt a little at ease.
The second Dao Seed Xie Yuanji has been serving as the Dao Seed for 19 years, during which he has experienced wars and made great achievements. Especially in the area where the north and the Northern God Xuanzong region meet, the prestige of this person can be said to be known to everyone, and no one knows it.
Even here in Tianmang Mountain, many people have heard of this man's achievements.
With Xie Yuanji as the deputy commander, no matter how unreliable the star picker is, they will not be left without a little landing.
In fact, as expected by these spiritual cultivators, in the first few days after Xie Yuanji's arrival, there was no action. But after seeing Zhang Xin's lazy style of ignoring things, this person couldn't bear it anymore and unceremoniously took over the affairs of the whole army from Zhang Dehuai.
I have to say that although Zhang Dehuai is also very capable, there is still a bit of a gap compared with this second class.
In just half a month, not only has the appearance of all units of the Daoist army changed, but the spirit and morale of the whole army have also been improved again.
At this time, Zhang Xin summoned all the high-level officials related to the war in Tianmang Mountain to discuss together.
"The time has come! All the staff of the first to third divisions are ready to march to Daqishan after noon today. ”
"After noon?"
Li Qing, the head of the Tianmang Mountain Patrol Division, who was located at the head of Zhang Xin, was taken aback at first: "But today, there is no movement in the East Fourth Courtyard. ”
According to the military order issued by the mountain, before the Tiandong Fourth Court has no conclusive traces, it must not be excessively persecuted, so as not to aggravate the situation and stimulate the Tiandong Fourth Court to take risks.
At present, Benshan is still trying to persuade and pacify, and their move to the border at this time is likely to undermine Benshan's efforts to eliminate the fighting.
"In addition, the Celestial Pillar Council granted the Chief Commander full powers, also after the official start of the war. At this time, I'm afraid it's not appropriate?"
Xie Yuanji also frowned slightly, he also meant this. But now that Li Qing has already said his thoughts, he doesn't need to speak again.
"Having said that, what was conveyed by Benshan was only a suggestion, not a military order signed by the Ten Heavenly Pillars. Those of us who are in charge of the front can still respond to the situation. ”
Zhang Xin said with a smile: "Speaking of reverse, the East Fourth Courtyard has actually been blatant that day, and they have just not touched the bottom line of this mountain for the time being. But this rebellion is inevitable, and you are all wise people, and you must be able to see the current situation clearly. If that's the case, what's wrong with us doing something in advance?"
When these words were said, everyone in the hall couldn't help but fall into contemplation.
Only Xie Yuanji is an exception: "Lord Commander's reason is good, but doing so is not in accordance with the rules after all." ”
"Who says it's not in line?"
Zhang Xin smiled: "This seat now, although it has no right to decide, but the Tianmang Mountain Upper Court can also independently adjudicate military affairs, and make corresponding arrangements on the premise of trying to protect the territory of my Tianmang Mountain Upper Court." Let's vote now, do you want to settle in Daqishan now? This seat is naturally agreed, but now it depends on a few of you, what do you think? Do you oppose it?"
Li Qing was stunned, and then he subconsciously looked at Xue Yunfan. I saw that this person's eyes seemed to be closed, and the whole person seemed to turn into a stone statue, and he did not react to everyone's attention.
He couldn't help but feel a move in his heart, thinking that the army would be stationed in advance at this time, which would actually be of great benefit to Tianmang Mountain.
At least when the battle is about to come, they Tianmang Mountain can be more calm. And a large number of manpower can also make the defense of Daqishan more stable.
So this one also fell silent.
Li Qing was like this, and the rest of the masters had no intention of objecting, and they also did not say a word.
"Since everyone has no objections, then this matter is decided. ”
Zhang Xin laughed, waved his hand magnificently, and then said to Xie Yuanji: "The fourth division under the deputy commander is still directly under the mountain. According to my agreement with the Council of the Heavenly Pillars, before the start of the Great War, this seat has no jurisdiction over you. Please continue to garrison Tianmang Mountain. There are two tasks ahead, one is to monitor the territory, and the other is to pay attention to the changes in the Seven Springs Abyss. Especially the latter, you need to be very careful!"
Xie Yuanji was silent, thinking that one of the tasks he came here for was to check and balance Zhang Xin. Prevent this star-picking envoy from doing anything wrong.
But Zhang Xin's actions completely threw him away.
However, although he knew that it was wrong, he could not find any reason to refute it. All of Zhang Xin's actions are in accordance with the rules, and there is nothing to find fault with.
"Although the soldiers in front of Daqi Mountain are in danger, the Seven Springs Abyss is also very important, please be very careful!"
After saying this, Zhang Xin announced the adjournment of the meeting.
In the afternoon of the same day, he really led the people of the three divisions under his command and marched in the direction of Daqi Mountain.
Daqi Mountain was only 2,400 miles away from Tianmang Mountain, although they had already arrived by the evening.
When these hundreds of warships settled in a mighty manner, Xiaoyue Mountain and Tianguan Mountain, hundreds of miles away, were in turmoil. It seems that they are all extremely surprised by the approach of the Dao army in the direction of Tianmang Mountain.
In fact, Mu Shenji, who was appointed by Master Shenyue to take charge of the war on the Tianmang Mountain side. At this time, he was standing on the top of Xiaoyue Mountain, and he looked at the opposite side unexpectedly.
"On the other side of the Sun and Moon Mountain, has it been decided to go to war?"
In this sentence, he asked Li Shuyang, the beloved disciple of Master Shenyue next to him.
As a person who is responsible for contacting the Divine Cult and dealing with Zhang Xin's star picking technique, Li Shuyang was also arranged in Xiaoyue Mountain as a deputy.
This one's face was pale, and his hand was guiding the spiritual formula, as if he was in contact with someone. After a while, he shook his head slightly: "There is no corresponding order on the side of the Sun and Moon Mountain, and there has been no military meeting in the Ten Heavenly Pillars recently. Gong Tianlai's counterinsurgency army still stayed in Weak Crow Mountain. ”
"But what's going on?"
Mu Shenji's brows furrowed, and he looked at the other side: "Tianmang Mountain Dao Army, it is impossible for you to settle in Daqi Mountain for no reason?"
To be honest, he was unwilling to start a war with the Sun Moon Xuanzong at this time.
The army of the Tiandong Fourth Courtyard has already gathered and can participate in the battle at any time. The problem is that they still have unsolved problems in their hearts.
Those spiritual masters who have their hearts toward the sun and the moon and the mountain have still not been eliminated.
Now the prison or governor of the Fourth Upper Court, under the pretext of the Northland Immortal Alliance's bad intentions, is successively transferring these people to Fengxiang Mountain on the border to guard the border.
But now, although many people obey their orders, there are also some people who see through their intentions and disobey them with the help of the military orders issued by the Heavenly Pillar Conference.
Others are even far from the mountains, lurking in the countryside, with unpredictable intentions.
Before self-reliance, a bloodbath is inevitable. However, it would undoubtedly be unwise to have a full-scale conflict with the Sun Moon Xuanzong before the internal stability of the Eastern Fourth Courtyard was truly stable.
"It should be the military discussion within the upper court of Tianmang Mountain!"
Li Shuyang pondered for a moment, then said thoughtfully: "If the upper courtyard of Tianmang Mountain, including the prison court, the governor, the chief, and the masters, all make the decision to immediately garrison Daqi Mountain. However, to a certain extent, it is possible to bypass the Tianzhu Conference. ”
Mu Shenji was also well aware of all the laws and regulations of the Sun Moon Xuanzong, and after hearing the words, he immediately understood what Li Shuyang meant.
Then he shook his head slightly: "It seems that this star picker is not only bold, but also very good at exploiting loopholes." Inform Dongshenshan of this matter and ask Master Shenyue how to deal with this matter?"
To be honest, the more than 10,000 Tianmang Mountain Spirit Masters on the other side, he actually didn't pay attention to them. In a head-on decisive battle, the 17,000 Dao troops under his command will definitely crush the opponent.
But today, he is in a dilemma. It is impossible for Zhang Xin's troops to garrison in advance and immediately start a war? But if he sits idly by, the other side will certainly further strengthen the Daqishan defensive line. If they want to take Daqishan in the future, they will also pay more price.
"I'll take care of that. ”
Li Shuyang said coldly: "Sun and Moon Benshan, aren't you still trying your best to persuade our East Fourth Courtyard to give up self-reliance?
But the two of them still underestimated Zhang Xin's 'guts'.
In the sky above Daqi Mountain, Zhang Xin did not mean to let the warships disband and land, with the three mountain attack ships as the core, the ships still maintained a strict battle formation.
At this time, he himself had climbed to the stargazing platform located in the center of the Duba.
When Li Qing, the master of the Mountain Patrol Division and the master of the Third Division, learned of this, it was already half a moment after Zhang Xin began to launch the Great Yan Star Harvesting Array.
He angrily boarded the Dominion and asked Zhang Xin: "What does this mean, Lord Commander? Where are you going to bombard with star harvesting? Is this planning to start a war?"
Zhang Xin didn't care, and flicked his sleeves.
"For example, today's East Fourth Courtyard wantonly kills fellow disciples and cleanses dissidents. He also resisted the precepts, and the second hall of the criminal law was stationed for investigation. In addition, witness evidence was also found in this seat, confirming that there were three fellow disciples who had been hunted down and killed recently, and the mastermind was the people in the upper courtyard of Dongshen Mountain, and the remarks were undoubted. Therefore, this seat now has full power to dispose of all military affairs in the direction of Tianmang Mountain!"
After Zhang Xinyi said this, he instructed Li Qing: "You can send a person as an envoy to ask the governor of the prison of the two mountains whether he has the intention of following the Dongshen Mountain to rebel and stand on his own, and give an answer within two hours." If you don't have this heart, then please remove all legal prohibitions and wait for my Tianmang Mountain army to settle in. But if you don't want to, don't blame the ruthlessness of my subordinates! In addition, all the disciples who think they are still loyal to my Sun Moon Xuanzong can try their best to leave Xiaoyue Mountain and Tianguan Mountain within this hour. ”
