The base camp of the Five Elements Sect.

Han Gongting frowned and said: "Xiangheli has a deep relationship with the Nine Palace Pavilion, and the Nine Palace Pavilion is our alliance in the incident, and the implication is complicated, if it is not a last resort, it must not be offended." The only way to do this is to take two steps, on the one hand, find someone to negotiate with Xiangheli and let them hand over the remnants of the Longhe Army and the Tianjia Army, and on the other hand, leave 10,000 people to stick to the periphery of the reeds and closely watch their movements. If they don't come out, they will be enough, and when they do, they will be firmly surrounded. Then quickly gather forces and completely destroy them. ”

Zhong Yulou said: "At the beginning of our incident, everything went smoothly. Recruiting troops, attacking cities, plotting against officials, winning battles one after another, and fighting more and more, it can be said that the morale is strong and the development is rapid.

But since the Longhe army joined the battlefield, we have lost our troops and retreated. If it weren't for Brother Gongting turning the crisis into an opportunity, setting up a strange scheme, and adding Brother Ruijin Tan Jingtai to do internal response, maybe we would really be defeated.

Rao is like this, in order to annihilate the Longhe army, the manpower, material resources and energy we have invested are still more than worth the losses compared with the results obtained. If you add the losses of the Tianjia Army and He Xiaoduo Army in the back, the casualties are far more than 30,000, which is a great loss of vitality. Moreover, after this battle, we patronized the pursuit of the Longhe army, and the other fronts almost stopped developing because of the lack of manpower.

Now, although we have not completely annihilated the Longhe Army and the Tianjia Army, we have finally driven them out of the lake, and I believe that as long as we send one or two thousand people to keep an eye on them, we will not be able to make any waves in a short period of time. I think we should take this opportunity to vigorously develop our territory, expand our army, and make up for our previous losses!"

Han Gongting nodded and said, "This battle fully reflects the lack of our combat effectiveness. I agree with Brother Yulou's opinion, first, we must step up training and cultivate elites, and at the same time, we must let the fighters have the necessary rest.

Second, it is necessary to use war to feed the war, and before the imperial court has really reacted, actively recruit troops and horses, open up territory, and catch them off guard.

Third, we also have to ask the Nine Palace Pavilion to break the army star swallow curtain hook and Lu Cun Xingwen to continue to cooperate vigorously! As for how to distribute the results of the battle in the future, everyone can advance and retreat together, and we can discuss it slowly!"

Zhong Yulou, Han Gongting, Xuemanshan and other major leaders of the Five Elements Sect reached a consensus on the same day, leaving 15,000 people from the Binghan Army, the Talang Army, the Zashan Hall, and the Iron Arrow Army to guard the periphery of the reeds, while the main force of more than 100,000 retreated to the original department, concentrating on development, and making full preparations for the next bigger battle.

~~~~~

The Tianjia Army and the Longhe Army passed through the water surface of the lotus pond dozens of miles wide, and from time to time they saw fishermen digging winter lotus root in the water, using small wooden boats and white buffaloes to transport them back and forth, a busy scene.

When the fishermen saw the army coming, they were not afraid to dodge, and even nodded and said hello when they saw the boatmen they knew, and they were very respectful to Lucia and Xianghe.

He Dali was dissatisfied: "It turns out that you are so prestigious in your hometown. When we first met, you pretended to be Hanako and pretended to be pitiful. Later, on Shizhu Island, you were caught as a beggar by Seng Jiujie! You kept a lot of things from me!"

Lucia pouted: "Didn't you know everything now? I don't have any secrets in the future, you definitely don't care about me!"

"What is this?" He Dali puzzled: "I don't care if I don't have a secret, but I care if I have a secret?"

"Then what do you like about me?"

He Dali choked suddenly, racked his brains and thought for a long time before he said sullenly: "I don't know why I like you!"

Lucia frowned, and her face suddenly fell.

He Dali continued: "Anyway, I'm happy to see you, and I like to be with you!"

Lucia turned her face away, smiled secretly, and turned around and said, "Get out of the way! Why are you so close?

In the evening, the flotilla finally came to shore.

Lucia said: "This is one of the islands in Xiangheli, which is slowly deposited by the meadow silt after thousands of years of water flow, and the soil is fertile and covers a very wide area.

There are more than 300 fishermen living on the west side of the island, a grove on the south side, a large lake on the east and north sides, and the waterfront is half mud and half sandy. You'll find a sheltered place in the northeast tonight. I have other important matters, and I need to go back to meet the head of the family, so I won't accompany you!"

He Dali said with a grin: "I will also go to meet your family master, just in time to give him a dowry!

Lucia glanced at him and said angrily: "Let's talk about children again!

He Dali looked down at himself and was very satisfied: "Isn't it good for me?" except for a little injury on my hands, a little messy hair, a little dirty clothes, and I haven't taken a bath for a long time, everything else is very good, and I am still such a talent!"

"Oh!" Lucia pretended to vomit and said, "I can't even listen to it!

Yun Tianjia originally wanted Lu Xia to introduce her family master to see with her own eyes whether this mysterious owner of Xianghe Li was He Tingting, but when he heard her say this, he temporarily dispelled this idea.

Anyway, we have already arrived at Lotus Fragrance Dock, and we are on the same island, so there is always a chance to meet, and we are not in a hurry. Besides, he just lost the battle, he was embarrassed, and he was followed by Gong Luoluo, so it was inconvenient to see each other.

Moreover, Yun Tianjia was still worried that He Tingting had really become an old woman, and he really didn't think too clearly about whether to reveal the mystery so quickly.

Luxia and Xianghe Jiebi sent away more than 200 fishermen who risked their lives to pick up the boats, and pointed out the places for the Tianjia Army and the Longhe Army to camp the troops, clapped their hands, and said goodbye: "Today, Xiaobi and I will take the boat home first, and we will come back in a few days." If you have any questions, you can tell me again when the time comes. ”

Yun Tianjia was surprised: "You don't live in Lotus Fragrance Dock?"

Lu Xia smiled: "In addition to the lotus root incense dock in Xiangheli, there are also Spring Rain Pavilion, Biluo Ting, Fei Lengju, Lingxintai, Xianghe Collection, Xianghe Small Collection, etc., and it can't be completed in ten days and half a month." Lotus Xiangwu has always been the eldest sister Xianghe White Lotus is responsible for taking care of it, but she doesn't come often, and today she should be serving the head of the house at the Lingxin Terrace, and we will go there too. ”

Yun Tianjia shook off the snowflakes on his shoulders: "I see." See you in a few days! Also, could you send someone to bring us some food? We've almost all of the dry food we've brought. ”

Xianghe Jubi smiled: "We thought of this a long time ago, and someone will pick it up for you later." However, on a deserted island in the lake, in a remote village, there is nothing good to eat, all of them are winter lotus, asparagus, carp, crabs and the like, I hope you are used to eating. ”

Xiong Zhuangzhuang interjected: "My favorite crab is that there is too little meat and too many bones!"
