Chapter 187: Calculation
Not long after the seven people of Yunchen were cultivating around the Juyuan Pagoda, Hong Er, who was on guard on the periphery, suddenly ran over and said, "Senior Brother Yunchen, someone has come to look for you. ”
What came was a woman dressed in a sky blue sword robe, looking soft and weak, not as good as Ni Shang or Yun Jing Yunxue, but under the diffraction of the firelight, she was fair-skinned and slightly apprehensive, giving people a graceful and quiet beauty, when Yunchen heard the words and opened her eyes to look at her, she was on the shallow dimples next to her cheeks, and there was just the right amount of shyness, which caught everyone's hearts in an instant.
"I'm Di Yunchen!" Yunchen didn't stand up, Hongxing saw that under the "temptation" of beauty, Yunchen was still cultivating.
"Well, I'm Qing Qingning," the woman was a little flustered, like a calm lake that was startled and rippled, and then returned to calm after swinging into the distance, "Senior Brother Luo Guan asked me to invite you to an impromptu meeting, well, that's it." "Qing Ning is like a little family jasper who grew up in a boudoir, and she seems so strange to communicate and talk.
"So..."Yunchen stretched out his hand, Qingning thought that Yunchen was going to shake hands with her, so he was so frightened that he took two steps back and didn't know what to do.
"Aren't you going to lead the way for me?" Yun Chen smiled with a narrow smile, looking at this girl who was the same age as Yun Jing, but her courage could not be compared with Yun Jing, he really couldn't figure out why Luo Guan sent such a little confused to pass on the word, is the beauty trick? What are you kidding, now even Ni Shang's singing can't confuse him.
"Oh, yes!" Qing Ning didn't expect Yun Chen to make a "please" gesture, so he quickly turned his head to lead the way to hide his embarrassment, and followed the path by the waterhole down the hill, and after walking a few steps, Qing Ning shook his shoulders, as if he was cheering himself up
"Senior Brother Yunchen, did you perform the fifth-layer qi splitting technique in the evening?Oh, I'm sorry, I know it's presumptuous, I'm just..."
"Yes!" Since someone pointed out the deer as a horse for him, Yunchen was also happy to be good.
"Oh..."Qingning's tone was extremely disappointed, and Yunchen probably knew why Luo Guan wanted to send a woman like Qingning, and whoever faced such a woman would unconsciously relax his defense.
Luo Guan's camp room was halfway up a hill 600 meters away, and a few wrist-thick thorns under a thick pine pine supported a simple wooden shelf, covered with thick pine needles, and then lit a fire outside the wooden shed.
The disciples of the Five Elements Extreme Sect in blue sword robes could be seen everywhere on the entire hill, but the questioning and disdainful look in their eyes when they looked at Yunchen a few days ago had been replaced by jealousy, and maybe there was a little bit of admiration, who knows?
Far away from the wooden shed, Luo Guan had already greeted him alone, and enthusiastically pulled Yunchen and pointed at Qingning and said: "This is the housemate Luo Qingning, she made a bet with me, saying that you didn't perform the fifth-layer qi separation technique when you killed the bees, hehe, the little girl is always curious, so she ran to verify it in person, if she offended, I hope that Yunchen's junior brother will not be surprised." ”
Luo Guan said it so neatly, Yunchen naturally wouldn't lose face, he glanced at Qing Ning, who was still blushing, and asked, "What are you brothers and sisters gambling on?"
"Hehe, if she wins, I won't be allowed to send her out of Kaiyang Pass first. Luo Guan looked at Qing Ning with a look of pity, "My sister has a stubbornness that is not commensurate with her weak appearance, hey!"
Yunchen understood Luo Guan's mood, why didn't he use all his means, and promised countless benefits that he didn't even have the confidence to fulfill in the future before getting Yun Jing away. "Then, she may have to stay by your side for a while, you are wrong, I am not using the fifth-layer qi separation technique, it is a god-level sword technique!" Yunchen said seriously, but the more he pretended to be a gesture, the more he was deliberately acting in Luo Guan Luo Qingning's eyes.
"Haha... There are so many beautiful women around you, don't make up nonsense to please my girl, let's go, everyone is here, just send you one. Luo Guan said with a smile and pulled Yunchen to walk towards the top first.
Luo Qingning stared at Yunchen's back with a pair of wonderful eyes and didn't move her footsteps for a long time, and an irrepressible impulse suddenly rose in her heart, this impulse wanted to force her to put aside her reason and believe that Di Yunchen was telling the truth, and what he was using was really a god-level sword technique.
When Yunchen followed Luo Guan into the wooden shed, there was already a circle of people inside, the chief disciples of the various sects of Xihua on the sword, except for the six Hongxing, almost all of them were listed, and there was also a sword cultivator that Yunchen didn't know, who was fiddling with a sand table in the middle of the shed.
"Senior Brother Yunchen, you are all familiar with everyone here, so I won't introduce it, but this senior brother" Luo Guan said and pointed his finger at the sword cultivator who was fiddling with the topographic map of the mountains and rivers with dirt.
"My name is Wuya, and I am a disciple of Mobei Taizong. Without waiting for Luo Guan's official introduction, Wuya had already straightened up and introduced himself, this is a burly man, nearly six feet tall, and the bronzed skin on his face still retains traces of erosion by the wind and sand of the Mobei, Yunchen can hardly imagine the lifelike topographic map outlined on the ground, out of his hands that look thick and clumsy!
"Xu Yuefeng, Di Yunchen!" Yunchen hugged his fist, Mobei Taizong he heard the master talk about it, and the master Ouyang Jinfeng's maiden Snow Mountain Xuanzong lived next to each other, but one was on the mountain for a long time, and the other was blowing sand in the four seasons under the snowy mountain.
"I have admired the name for a long time, and I have never had the opportunity to meet, I heard that Senior Brother Yunchen led the crowd to destroy Moyang Village, and I grew my sword cultivation morale, Senior Brother, I am deeply admired, and I sent belated congratulations. Wuya said with a second fist clench.
"You're polite" Yunchen glanced sideways at the eldest grandson Yuan Huang Pu Zhen, and a sly smile curled up at the corner of his mouth, "It's a complete fluke, I don't know why, what we captured is an empty village..."
When Changsun Yuan and the others heard this, they saw Yun Chen's dark face becoming more and more ugly, and they almost vomited blood when they glared at Yun Chen, and they only scolded in their hearts, "Sure enough, we fought to the death in the south, attracting the sword witch of Moyang Village to come out to support, so that this kid picked up a big bargain and came to us to sell his good." ”
Seeing that the atmosphere was not right, Luo Guan pulled Yunchen Wuya to sit down, and said with a serious face: "I don't know what old grudge you have between you, but it is unclear to continue the old grudge here, in the face of the sword witch, we are all a family, and we should be sincerely united, and I hope you will take care of the overall situation, otherwise we will not want to get out of Kaiyang Pass alone." ”
This is somewhat biased in favor of Yunchen who deliberately stings people with words, and Yunchen will accept it when he sees it, although Changsun Yuan and others are a little narrow-minded, but they are also sensible people, knowing that at this moment, they must not start their own internal strife first, so they immediately stared at Yunchen hatefully and stopped talking.
"Senior Brother Wuya has been fighting witches in Heze for many years, and he knows the terrain of Heze well, and this time he was invited to walk with us to fight witches, thank you, please introduce it to us. Luo Guan clenched his fists and gave Wuya a grateful look.
"Don't dare!" said Wuya, pointing to the sand table on the ground with a twig. You see, the southwest of Heze is a huge basin, there are hills and valleys in the middle of this plain river, more than 100 sword witches live in the village most of them are built according to the mountain, into a circular arch to guard the middle of this plain, that is, the sword witches rely on the place to live, in this plain there are three villages finished glyph arrangement, respectively, the first Hunyang Village, the second Shuiyang Village and the third Wuyang Village, most of these villages on the periphery are allied with these three villages, in order to snatch the resources of fertile land, there are also attacks on each other, it can be said that the sword witches have built a complete defense system here。 After briefly introducing the side, Wuya sat down and nodded to Luo Guan, motioning for him to continue.
"The first time we went down to Heze, we said that we were defeated in the hands of the Sword Witch, but it was better to suffer the loss of being unfamiliar with the terrain. Luo Guan pointed to the northeast corner of the stockade, which was close to where they were now, where the sword and witch stockade was very dense, "When we captured a stockade, we rushed towards the plains, and as a result, we were attacked on our backs. ”
Except for Yunchen Wuya's thoughtful face, the others looked ashamed, they used to say that they wanted to attack Shuiyang Village, but the result was that Shuiyang Village had not seen it, and the sword witch of Shuiyang Village came first on the Optimus Crane, plus the sword witches of several small villages nearby jointly dispatched together, and they had to turn around and escape from a bloody way after they had just set foot on the plain.
"So, learn from the pain, the target I chose this time is the north," with Luo Guan's gesture, Yunchen saw that the sword witch village in the north was relatively sparse a lot, "This time, we cleared it one by one, and after sweeping this piece of the village, we have no worries, and the final goal is here." Luo Guan confidently pointed to the middle, and at this moment almost everyone held their breath, looking at the village that Luo Guan's finger pointed to....
That's the number one Hunyang Village.
Yunchen showed a silent smile on his face, yes he wanted to laugh, not how naïve Luo Guan was, on the contrary, his plan did have a certain feasible surname, the problem was the final Hunyang Village, not so much that Luo Guan attacked Hunyang Village to seek the greatest benefits, but rather to fight with Yunchen, Di Yunchen led the crowd to conquer Moyang Village, if he wanted not to be compared, he had to attack Hunyang Village to correct his name.
The silence continued for dozens of breaths, and Dongfang Xuan, the chief disciple of the Dongfang family, took the lead in speaking: "According to Brother Luo Guan's plan, we will have to spend a lot of manpower just to break through the outer villages one by one, can you be sure that we will have enough manpower to besiege Moyang Village at that time?"
Yunchen nodded, this is indeed a question that cannot be ignored.
Luo Guan shook his head with an unfathomable smile on his face, and Wuya explained loudly: "As long as I can advance to Hunyang Village, I can organize at least a thousand more sword cultivators to support in Kaiyang Pass." ”
Yunchen suddenly realized, Luo Guan's hand is clever, and it is indeed a good move to attract many sword cultivators such as loose cultivation and hermitage cultivation in Kaiyang Pass through his own momentum. As we all know, there are more than 10,000 sword cultivators circulating in Kaiyang Pass all year round, in addition to the three major divine sects and the Central Plains Five Domains Sword Cultivation who come to take turns to suppress witches, there are also a large number of loose cultivators, overseas hermitages, and sword cultivators of the Central Plains sects that are not on rotation, more than 5,000 people wander inside and outside Kaiyang Pass all year round, in order to earn contribution points to exchange for the items they need in the sect, the problem is that these complex sword cultivators rarely have the opportunity to unite to suppress witches, mutual distrust is a reason, the most important thing is that they are not weak in individual strength, and they are unwilling to join the sects that come to take turns to suppress witches for them to drive。 And the sword cultivators who took turns to suppress witches also didn't trust them.
Over time, these sword cultivators can only attack the sword witches who go out of the village to patrol, or when the sword cultivators on duty attack the village, they can sneak attack the sword witches who come to support other villages, and they can go away to Baiqi Mountain in the depths of Heze to kill the Yuan Beast and collect elixir, or like Hong Er and his party, do some reselling business to make some small profits, and there are few opportunities to attack the city.
But now it's different, Luo Guan's face-opening recruitment has already spread all over Kaiyang Pass, once they really clear the outer village and advance towards Hunyang Village, when the time comes, there will be people who have a high reputation for the endless needle, in front of the huge temptation of Hunyang Village, not to mention a thousand sword cultivators, even if they can summon two thousand sword cultivators immediately, Yunchen also believes it.
What Luo Guan has to do is to give them hope and see the hope of destroying Hunyang Village, the first village of Heze.
When Yunchen raised his head from his contemplation, everyone present was already enthusiastically discussing the details of the operation, and they all looked excited, obviously Luo Guan's plan had made them seem to see that it was a matter of course to break through the first village of Heze.
"Senior Brother Wuya, do you know the specific strength of Hunyang Village?" Yunchen quietly pulled Wuya and asked softly.
"I know roughly, there are about 30,000 people in the entire Hunyang Village, including at least 800 sword witches, the owners of the positive and negative villages are all masters of the Fazun realm, and most of the villages allied with him are gathered in the northwest. Wuya replied.
"Are you sure there is no Law Saint?" Yun Chen felt that the parameters were wrong, after he captured Moyang Village, Yun Xiu had secretly counted that there were more than 3,000 people in Moyang Village, which was rarely disturbed by sword cultivation, including 300 sword witches, and the ratio of sword witches to ordinary barbarians was almost ten to one, so how could the proportion of Hunyang Village be so small?
"You can be completely assured of this, there are masters at the level of the Dharma Zun at one end to set foot in Heze, and the sword saints of the three major divine sects in Kaiyang Pass will definitely kill them as soon as possible, and it is impossible for the three major divine sects to let the sword witches above the law saints who can threaten the safety of Kaiyang Pass stay in their own eyes, and similarly, they will not easily send sword cultivators above the sword saint to Heze, otherwise the sword witches of Yunze Mengze in the depths of the wilderness will also dispatch the sword saints and emperors to kill, and Heze is a buffer for both sides. Wuya explained.
"Unannounced but agreed!" Yun Chen muttered, the three major divine sects were unable to attack the more sinister and weird environment of Yun Ze Mengze to completely kill the sword witch, and could only use Heze to limit the development of the extreme sect Taizong Xuanzong below, and use the witch to consolidate the transcendent status of his own divine sect, while the sword witch used Heze as a buffer to accumulate strength in Yunze Mengze, hiding behind, expecting him to break through the Kaiyang Pass and return to the Central Plains.
In a moment, the next step had been decided, and all the sword cultivators would move westward to clear the dozen or so sparse stockades on the side of Gongwei Moyang Village from the north one by one. The plan has been decided, and everyone will not stay longer, and they will leave Luo Guan one after another.
Until this moment, I don't know whether it was intentional or deliberate, Luo Guan remembered Yunchen, the "military advisor" he specially invited, and grabbed Yunchen, who was the last to leave, and asked, "I wonder what Senior Brother Yunchen thinks of this plan?"
Yunchen understood Luo Guan's distress, if he asked his opinion in front of everyone, once Yunchen raised an objection, it would inevitably cause everyone who had always looked down on him to join forces to criticize him, "Is my opinion still meaningful?" Yunchen asked rhetorically.
"Even if it's a reminder for my brother!" Luo Guan asked sincerely.
Yunchen shook his head, "This plan doesn't meet my code of conduct, so I don't have the heart to think about any details or loopholes at all. ”
"Just tell me about the possibility that we have failed?" After all, it was Moyang Village, the first village in Heze, that was attacked, and Luo Guan had to take precautions..."Yes, it must be!" Yunchen looked at Luo Guan cautiously and smiled sadly, "It's not that there are any possibilities for failure, but that we will definitely fail, do you want to make a bet?" After Yunchen finished speaking, he turned around and walked out of the wooden shed, heading down the hill, he didn't want to say anything.
Yunchen left with his front foot, and Luo Qingning, who had been hiding outside the wooden shed, walked in with his hind foot.
"What do you think?" Luo Guan asked his sister, who had always seen few people, but was wiser than him.
Qingning turned his head to look at Yunchen, who had disappeared in the night, and turned around and said, "Hunyang Village is the first village in Heze!"
... When Yunchen came back, Hongxing and the others were still cultivating around Juyuan Pagoda and waiting for him, "What's the situation?" Hongxing couldn't wait to ask.
Yunchen asked Huang Pujin to find a pile of stones, laid out a simple topographic map, and briefly explained to them the plan made in the wooden shed, and then fell into deep thought.
"What do you think?" Yun Xiu knew as soon as he saw Yun Chen's face that this idea was not his idea, and it was never Yun Chen's surname to follow the step-by-step order.
"If Moyang Village is so easy to conquer, it will not become the first village of Heze, it is a good thing to be confident in yourself, and sometimes, you must have more confidence in your strong opponents, so that you can conquer everything and be invincible!"
"If you had to come up with an idea, where would you do it?" asked Neon, following suit.
Yunchen pointed his hand and pointed to the northeast corner not far from where they were now, which was the place where Luo Guan and the others had suffered a big loss last time. Facing their puzzled eyes, Yunchen said proudly: "Men, whoever falls from where he has to get up." Rest assured, if nothing else, they'll have to start here. ”
"Luo Guan, they've tried, isn't it impossible?" Ni Shang came up with a little bad idea, but he obviously didn't know anything about attacking the city and pulling out the village.
"Then it depends on how you fight!" Hongxing couldn't stand their slow questioning, and asked directly to the end, "Yunchen, you are the one who commands here, what are you going to do here?"
"It's very simple, don't the sword witches like to unite and encircle the front and back? I'll do the opposite, surround the point to send reinforcements, and set up the sword witch. ”
Hongxing and the others looked at Yunchen in unison, although the details of this plan were not clear, but they knew from Yunchen's confident face that Yunchen was very sure.
Tautono... For some people, it is not exercised, but innate--for example, Di Yunchen.
Hongxing thought so.
