When Xu Yang saw that everyone was bowing their heads and thinking about how to fight against the Holy Lotus Sect army in Xiangcheng City and the Heavenly Divine Sect army in the west of the city, he saw Luo Cheng step forward and say that he had an idea, and said, "Luo Cheng, it doesn't hurt you to say it. ”

"There is a proverb that says, 'When the cranes and mussels fight, the fishermen gain.'" 'Since the Heavenly Kingdom Divine Sect and the Holy Lotus Sect are both coming for Xiangcheng, and the Holy Lotus Sect has now occupied Xiangcheng, presumably the Heavenly Kingdom Divine Sect in the west of the city will definitely not give up. Then we might as well sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, and after both sides are defeated, we can wipe out both sides in one fell swoop, how about it?" Luo Cheng proposed.

When everyone heard Luo Cheng say this, they thought about it for a while, and then they kept nodding their heads and praise, and said with a smile: "It's called 'Praying Mantis catches cicadas, and the yellow finch is behind.'" It's not an exaggeration. ”

"Zhang Feng led the mighty Heavenly Divine Sect army to Xiangcheng, naturally he would not watch Xiangcheng being occupied by the Holy Lotus Sect army, and he would definitely try his best to attack Xiangcheng. If this is the case, both sides will inevitably end up losing both. ”

"The Holy Lotus Sect is angry that Zhang Feng has betrayed the sect, and even started a new one, and this time it is blatantly against the Holy Lotus Sect, how can the Holy Lotus Sect spare Zhang Feng? Maybe this time, the Holy Lotus Sect will definitely eliminate Zhang Feng, a traitor. ”

Although I don't know how Zhang Feng pulled up this team, but Zhang Feng led so many soldiers to attack Xiangcheng this time, it can be seen that Zhang Feng has a deep grudge, and the two sides are bound to be incompatible. ”

"There is no room for two tigers in one mountain. As long as the two sides go to war, one side will inevitably suffer heavy losses. When the time comes, we can easily eliminate these two forces and retake Xiangcheng. ”

"Now that we have learned about the situation of the Heavenly Divine Sect, presumably the Holy Lotus Sect army in Xiangcheng has also mastered the situation of the Heavenly Divine Cult. A fierce battle that is about to break out is getting closer and closer. ”

Ma Zichen looked at the generals and said that the Heavenly Divine Sect and the Holy Lotus Sect would definitely lose both, shook his head and sighed: "Xiangcheng is already covered in bruises, this time there is an additional Heavenly Divine Sect, and the two sides use Xiangcheng as a battlefield, when will the catastrophe suffered by Xiangcheng be the end。。。。。。 ”

When everyone was happily talking about the incompatibility between the two sides, they heard Ma Zichen worried about Xiangcheng, so they restrained their smiles one by one and stopped talking.

Everyone knew clearly in their hearts that the imperial army and the Holy Lotus Sect army had been fighting in Xiangcheng for more than a year, and had beaten Xiangcheng into a ruined and decadent appearance.

"Ma Zichen, if you want Xiangcheng to reduce its losses, the only way to end this vicious battle is to end it as soon as possible. After the war subsides, it is necessary to slowly repair Xiangcheng. Xu Yang said.

The generals didn't know what to say, so they nodded yes and asked Ma Zichen not to worry so much about Xiangcheng.

Xu Yang saw that everyone had no objection to the general strategy of the battle, and said to everyone: "Since everyone is not against Luo Cheng's 'crane and clam fighting' strategy, then we will sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight now." After both sides were defeated, our army came again to clean up the mess in one fell swoop. He continued: "It's not too early, let's all go back and rest." ”

Everyone nodded in obedience, and then left one by one.

Xu Yang watched everyone leave one by one, and when he saw that Ma Zichen was about to turn around and leave, he suddenly thought of something, and hurriedly stopped the other party and said, "Ma Zichen, you wait a while, I have something to say." ”

When Ma Zichen was about to leave, he heard that Xu Yang had something to say to him, he was stunned for a moment, and asked with a smile: "Brother Xu, what's the matter?"

Xu Yang said with a serious face: "That's the case. When I fought with Sect Master He before, the other party once told me about 。。。。。。 ”

Xu Yang was talking, and suddenly thought that he must not tell the other party about this matter, otherwise the other party will suffer a big blow.

Ma Zichen listened to Xu Yang talking, and immediately stopped talking, and asked with a smile: "Brother Xu, why do you want to stop talking? ”

"Actually, there is nothing. It's just that when I fought with Sect Master He, the other party always inquired about He Fangxue's affairs, and that's it. Xu Yang casually found a lie and perfunctory it.

Ma Zichen thought it was something, but he didn't think about it, but it was about He Fangxue, and said with a smile: "Hey! What big deal do I do, but it turns out to be your lady's business!

Xu Yang nodded and said, "This is natural, after all, Sect Leader He is He Fangxue's father, how can I hide it?"

"Since Sect Leader He knows that He Fangxue is in Longcheng, and the two of you are incompatible, doesn't he want to bring He Fangxue back?" Ma Zichen asked with a smile.

So, Xu Yang briefly talked about the fight between himself and Sect Master He and Shi Tianliang, and said that Shi Tianliang wanted to go to Longcheng, but in the end he was stopped by his own law body.

When Ma Zichen heard that Sect Leader He's plan did not succeed, he breathed a heavy sigh of relief and said with a smile: "Since this is the case, then everyone is really happy." Sect Master He has taken refuge in Buddhism, and now the Holy Lotus Sect has no leader, and the destruction of the Holy Lotus Sect is just around the corner. He smiled and asked, "Brother Xu, tell me, if the Holy Lotus Sect knows that its sect leader has converted to Buddhism, how should you feel?"

"I'm afraid that after the Holy Lotus Sect soldiers hear this bad news, they will definitely be stunned one by one and can't believe it. Okay Ma Zichen, it's time for you to go back and rest. Xu Yang said with a smile.

Ma Zichen nodded, seeing that there was nothing to do, he also asked Xu Yang to rest early, and then said goodbye and left.

Ah Bo and other disciples of the Divine Sect, listening to Xu Yang talking to Ma Zichen, always felt that Xu Yang was hiding something.

When everyone saw that Ma Zichen had left, they asked, "Sect Master, what did you want to tell Ma Zichen just now?"

Xu Yang saw that he couldn't hide from his disciples, and explained: "I originally wanted to tell Ma Zichen just now: Your position as the prefect of Xiangcheng was actually arranged by Sect Master He himself. I was afraid that I would hit Ma Zichen by saying this, so I took back the words that came to my mouth. ”

Ah Bo and the others were shocked when Xu Yang said this, and only then did they understand that the reason why Ma Zichen was the prefect in Xiangcheng turned out to be the result of Sect Master He's single-handedness.

Xu Yang actually has a lot of unknown things that everyone has not told everyone, for example, Emperor Chu Ying was jointly killed by Sect Leader He and Qingqing, and the two of them supported an incompetent Datong to the throne. And such a shocking secret, naturally, the fewer people who know, the better.

In the following time, the imperial army of Xu Yang's side was stationed in the east of the city, waiting for the Heavenly Divine Sect to attack Xiangcheng, and waiting for the Heavenly Divine Sect and the Holy Lotus Sect to finally defeat both sides, so that both sides could be wiped out together.

During this period, Xu Yang also learned that the Heavenly Kingdom Divine Sect actually had millions of soldiers, and its strength was already comparable to that of the Holy Lotus Sect army in Xiangcheng.

On the other hand, the imperial army on Xu Yang's side has experienced many battles to defend the city and the loss of Xiangcheng, and has reduced its strength to more than 200,000. It also made everyone even more afraid to go head-to-head with the two major forces of the Heavenly God Sect and the Holy Lotus Sect, and the only way to outwit them was to win.

And the thirteen Taibao in the Holy Lotus Sect have lost Liu Zhixie, Song Zhiqing, Dongmeng, Jianchan, Shuowang, Tufan, Kuohai, Moheluo, Mole, and Shi Tianliang, and there are only three people left: Han Lie, Wang Wen, and Huang Feng.

Han Lie, Wang Wen, and Huang Feng have now become the top commanders of the Holy Lotus Sect in Xiangcheng.

The Holy Lotus Sect occupied Xiangcheng, the west of the city was Zhang Feng's Heavenly Divine Sect army, and the east of the city was the imperial army of Xu Yang's side.

And when Xu Yang returned to Xiangcheng, the Holy Lotus Sect soldiers in Xiangcheng also noticed Xu Yang, but when the Holy Lotus Sect soldiers were looking forward to the return of Sect Master He and Shi Tianliang, they did not see the two return, which immediately caused panic in people's hearts and did not understand what was happening.

Han Lie, Wang Wen, and Huang Feng looked at the rumors in Xiangcheng, and saw that ten days had passed since Xu Yang returned, but they had not seen the shadow of the sect leader and Shi Tianliang for a long time, and they were so anxious that when they were at a loss, they wanted to ask Xu Yang about the situation.

The next day, the three of them stood on the tower in the east of the city, facing the imperial military camp stationed outside the city, and the three of them shouted in unison: "Please come out and talk to Sect Master Xu。。。。。。 ”

The sound spread for hundreds of miles, causing the shouts of the three to resound in the imperial court barracks.

When Xu Yang was discussing combat matters with various generals in the military tent, he heard the voice of Xiangcheng from the opposite to let him go out to talk, and he sneered.

"General Xu, judging from the voices of the three shouts just now, there is no doubt that these three people must be Han Lie, Wang Wen, and Huang Feng. What do these three people have to say about letting the general go out for a conversation?"

"Hmph! Whatever they have to talk to the general, we'll just ignore it and let them shout there. ”

Xu Yang waved his hand at everyone and said, "This is a bad word. The three of them came to me for a conversation, and it must have something to do with Sect Leader He. And when the soldiers of the Holy Lotus Sect saw that their sect leader had not returned for a long time, they might have been panicked, and rumors had already spread in the city. Therefore, the three of them were anxious to know the whereabouts of their sect leader, and wanted to ask me for clarification. ”

"What does the general mean by going out and telling the other party?" the crowd asked.

Xu Yang nodded towards everyone and said, "Naturally, I will tell the Holy Lotus Sect soldiers about Sect Master He's whereabouts. You might as well think about it, if I tell the Holy Lotus Sect soldiers about the whereabouts of Sect Leader He, how will the Holy Lotus Sect soldiers feel?"

When Xu Yang said this, everyone was in an uproar, and they all said in unison: "If the soldiers of the Holy Lotus Sect know the whereabouts of their sect leader, it will definitely cause an uproar, and the city will definitely become a pot of porridge, and people's hearts will become even more panicked and uneasy。。。。。。 ”

And Xu Yang's intention was to make the Holy Lotus Sect more chaotic, not only to cause panic in the hearts of the people, but also to disintegrate the Holy Lotus Sect from within.

Xu Yang saw that everyone had understood his intentions, and while listening to the urging voices of the three of Han Lie shouting, he sneered and walked towards Xiangcheng.
