Chapter 296: Prelude to the True Unification of the Divine Hall
"The shrine is not yet unified. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info"
When Wu Feng saw Deng Aihou, the first thing he said was this sentence.
As he grew older, his appearance changed a lot, and it was impossible for Deng Aihou to recognize him as the original Xie Yi.
After all, there are many people in the world who look alike.
Deng Aihou is certainly not smart enough.
But by no means a fool.
"The Qingzhou Hall and the Iwakura Hall have been hollowed out of the Heavenly Martial God Sect back then, but they have been hollowed out by your Divine Hall. Deng Aihou sighed.
Although the young man in front of him was young, he was amazingly imposing, and it gave him a faint sense of familiarity.
But he was not afraid, he always felt that the Divine Hall was just a group of minions who had committed crimes.
"You destroyed Qingzhou, and you took the position of the leader of the Heavenly Martial God Sect in your hands. β
"So you think that if we destroy Iwakura, the temple will be truly unified, right?"
Qingzhou Hall has always been attached to the Divine Hall during the Su Mengzhen period, and it is counted as a member of the Divine Hall, and it only dared to make trouble after Su Mengzhen's death, but as a result, Deng Zheng and Wang Wumian were not able to die well, and they also let Wu Feng pick up the name of the Tianwu Divine Sect in vain.
Wu Feng didn't answer, only remembered that the martial soul of the ancestor Jibu Qianyan asked him to unify all the descendants of the Jibu clan.
The Deng family is the main family, and the Wu family and the Su family are tributaries. It's like the ancient surname Ji, which has countless other surnames, and now there are very few people with the real surname Ji.
Deng Aihou sighed abruptly: "Iwakura, it's over." Destroyed at the hands of our father and son. β
He didn't think that Wu Feng was stronger than Su Mengzhen, at most his strength was similar, after all, Wu Feng had never been able to get it back from the small half of Nanyang County that had fallen to Shenxiao Dao!
However, the internal strife between father and son has made Iwakura about to fall into a catastrophe!
The fortresses were all breached from the inside, Su Mengzhen didn't find it because there was no chance, and Wu Feng found it.
"You don't say that you want to destroy our Iwakura, but you want to punish the murderers who tried to kill my father, and escort me back to this hall master, right?" Deng Aihou said.
Wu Feng smiled: "Not bad." β
Deng Aihou said: "But I will also become a complete puppet, put under house arrest by you, and control Iwakura as a righteous name, right?"
Wu Feng nodded again.
"Until one day, Iwakura is completely digested by you, and I can die without knowing it. Deng Aihou sighed abruptly, with endless pathos.
It's not that Iwakura is afraid of death, but that Iwakura sighs!
Iwakura with his endless efforts!
Wu Feng shook his head: "I swear by my soul that this kind of thing will never happen." β
His eyes projected a warm but oppressive glow that shook Deng Aihou's heart.
But I felt that Wu Feng's words were not false.
That's right.
Wu Feng didn't plan to kill Deng Aihou at all, he would let Deng Aihou live forever.
Because back then, when Deng Aihou launched a coup d'Γ©tat, he listened to his advice and left his father Deng Rong's life.
Therefore, when he was thirteen years old, he planned to keep Deng Aihou alive in the future, for the benevolence of Deng Aihou's thoughts.
Even if I become a demon king in the future, I will not go against my heart!
So, Deng Aihou, I can only put you under house arrest for the rest of my life. You can move freely in your own Iwakura Castle, and all the supplies will be the same as when you were the lord of the temple.
Except that I must abolish your powers.
......
Deng Sanshi was in his inner room, thunderous.
These days, his concubines, such as Yuan Xuefei and others, have been beaten by him to broken tendons, so that no one around him dares to approach him.
No one knew why, but there was an air of despair and a feeling that something bad was going to happen.
The entire Hongnong area, where Iwakuraden is located, seems to be in a state of depression.
Some stratagems, in hindsight, are nothing but err.
But I couldn't have imagined in advance that this was the most terrifying.
Of course, Deng Sanshi has now figured out what Wu Feng is planning to do when he sends someone to kidnap his father!
The name of righteousness is as heavy as a mountain!
But what's the use now?
Regret is no longer helpful.
Deng Sanshi almost wanted to leave Iwakura and flee for his life, because he was an attempt to kill his father, and after Wu Feng caught him, he would definitely be executed!
Just like when he broke through Qingzhou, Wu Feng executed Deng Zheng, the hall master of Qingzhou Palace, on the charge of killing Gaoyang Yitong!
It's all political, but they all look dignified!
But he couldn't let it go, and it took so many years for the coup to succeed and become the lord of Iwakura.
But what's the use of that?
He knew that the temple must be massing its army.
By virtue of his father's righteousness, the leaders of the Hao clan will definitely defect under the attack of the army.
Deng Sanshi gritted his teeth, meditated, and looked for a way to deal with it.
The main castle of Iwakura has been renovated and has become stronger and stronger, and the soldiers are abundant, and although the soldiers of the shrine are brave and strong, their weakness is that they are relatively afraid of death and are unwilling to take their lives to fill the city wall needlessly.
They are more willing to rely on their strong combat strength to fight a big victory with few casualties. They do not lack courage, but if they are inspired by faith, they have no fear, even when they are outnumbered.
This is different from the soldiers of the Three Rivers who pay attention to absolute obedience to orders, although the people of the Three Rivers also have many treacherous people, but the soldiers at the bottom generally know that they will die, but they also have to move forward bravely!
Therefore, siege is by no means the strength of the temple.
But that's not enough......
Deng Sanshi slapped his head suddenly.
No, there is hope.
The Shentang had just had a civil war, and Wu Feng had confiscated the territories of many wealthy clans, which made them very unhappy.
So......
......
When Deng Sanshi was thinking of a life-saving strategy, Wu Feng was in the apse of the shrine, drinking tea with Shi Xinqing, the lord of Michi City.
"As I said, Iwakura Castle will be captured this winter. Wu Feng smiled proudly.
Shi Xinqing, the lord of Michi City, was of medium stature, wearing a well-cut blue robe, with a delicate folding fan in his hand, showing the appearance of an elegant person, but his facial features were relatively square, although he could also be said to be handsome, but he did not have a domineering and unruly spirit, nor did he have a seductive beauty.
He has always been a more moderate person, and he has been silently supporting Wu Feng, but he rarely makes any requests.
And Wu Feng has always given him equal returns.
"The hall master is clever. Since Deng Aihou is in our hands, if the enemy's city gate guards have really been rebelled......"
"So. Shi Xinqing continued: "How many soldiers and horses are needed to attack Iwakura?"
Wu Feng raised three fingers.
"Three thousand soldiers. For your 1,000 soldiers, I will recruit 2,000 soldiers. β
Shi Xinqing was shocked.
Wu Feng is too big, right?
Even if there is a righteous name and an internal response, the mobilization power of Iwakura Hall itself is more than 4,000 soldiers.
If you force those wild warriors in the rivers and lakes to enlist, the number of men and horses conscripted may reach 5,000.
Of course, in the name of righteousness, there will definitely be some wealthy families who will defect to them.
But Iwakura Castle is a fortified castle after all!
And what's worse is that Iwakura Castle doesn't just have one gate, but three full floors!
According to Wu Feng, the Song Mountain who was persuaded by him only controls the gate of the outer city wall, so the enemy retreats into the inner city and still needs to be attacked!
"Hall Master. Shi Xinqing said solemnly: "Even if we want to guard against Jingzhou and Hanzhong, we can at least mobilize six or seven thousand soldiers." Three thousand men and horses to destroy the rock warehouse, it's still too big!"
"Fighting a war is a costly affair. Wu Feng said leisurely: "This year's harvest is not particularly good, that's all, the business performance in the Western Regions is also a little sluggish, which is quite serious......"
What he meant was very clear, the economy was a little tight, and he had offended so many wealthy families before, and he was embarrassed to ask them to raise funds again, so he could save it.
Shi Xinqing shook his head: "If you can save it, you can save it, that's right." But if you attack with a large army, no matter how much you invest, you will make money. A small army fights, and if you don't capture it, you're a loss-making business! Hall Master, are you sure of victory?"
Influenced by Su Mengzhen, the people he taught like to think about problems with the thinking of a businessman. (To be continued.) )
