The Leng family needs the Xiangshui waterway, and only by ensuring the smooth flow of this waterway can the position of the river route be guaranteed, otherwise one party will be unbalanced, and the blow to the Leng family will be full.

It's okay to say that the east side of the water is still a place that the empire can rule, but to the west of the water, it is completely chaotic, the nobles have rebelled, and the local gate lords have also been connected in order to protect themselves, divide the localities, and form local guards to defend their homes, but as long as the fool knows, once the Pandora's treasure box is opened, it can no longer be restored to the original state. [, the eastern part of Xiyanfu, as one of the tributaries of the upper reaches of Xiangshui, the Xishui River flows quietly as before, quietly looking at the surrounding scenery.

In an uproar, a large splash of water was knocked into the air, and a person rolled down into the quiet Xishui River, and behind this person, like dumplings, one after another people rolled into the river, which suddenly made the quiet river lively:

On the surface of the river, the dark red blood turned into a pale red scarf fluttering in the water along the flowing water, and the broken armor shimmered with a little blood-colored light in the sun.

The exhausted soldiers plunged headlong into the water, and after a while, they couldn't breathe and got up, and then helped each other to climb to the other side of the Xishui River, the wet armor was even heavier, but no one took off the armor to get ease. Sticker bar shake hands and play dedication. Under the sun, the scorching sun was shining on his body, but it was the autumn tiger exuding residual power, quickly evaporating the water on the armor.

"My lord, where have we been?" asked a soldier lying on his back, not even wanting to move a finger, and opened his mouth to a general beside him.

"I don't know, but this road has been running towards the west, it should be about to reach the edge of the water, this river I think should be the river that flows into Xiangshui, wait for a while, get some food in the logging and make a raft, down the river, maybe you can go back!"

"Gollum, Gollum!" The cry of the boat suddenly came from the belly as loud as the sound of drums, and they had not eaten a grain of rice for almost three days, but they had eaten some raw meat and wild vegetables along the way, and the group of people who were hungry had already been overdrawn by their physical strength, but they did not dare to stop, because there seemed to be a big net around them, and as long as they stopped, they could no longer break free.

Liu Rufeng mustered up his strength, stood up, and said to a few soldiers who had good physical strength: "You guys go with me to find some food, the living can't be starved to death!"

Xishui Town, not like those gate valves in the west of Xiyan Mansion, although the rumors have been transmitted, but the situation in Xishui Town is still a little special, and as the largest landlord in Xishui Town, Tian Wenhao has recently sighed.

In order to be cheap, but he didn't want to get on the thief ship, and now he is in a dilemma, he has heard of the banner of the Holy Sect, and it has been confirmed, although the Holy Sect promised him that he could protect the peace of his family, and he did not have to worry about the seizure of his family business, but his family's biggest dependent land was to be confiscated by the Holy Sect.

This is simply his life, but if he doesn't give it, his life is likely to be faster, and this Xizi Town is very close to Xiangshui, and he voted for the Holy Sect, if the emperor ** comes back, he will bear the brunt of this place!

He was going crazy about this matter, but the current situation did not allow him to have more time to think about the need to make a decision as soon as possible, otherwise he would hesitate left and right, and he would not be able to get benefits.

At this time, Tian Wenhao's son Tian Mingxue walked into the living room quickly, and said to his father who was a little anxious: "Father, the next person Zhouzhou reported that some of the defeated soldiers of the Vermilion Bird Legion had entered the town, grabbed a lot of food and left, and the people had already followed, and it was estimated that there would be news back in a while!"

"What!" Tian Wenhao suddenly got up, strode around the hall, his mind that was hesitant was slowly gathered, and he had made a decision in his heart, Tian Wenhao stopped his steps, turned his head, and looked at his son.

"Mingxue, my father has made a decision, tell the messenger who came to the door, the Tian family agreed to their conditions, you go to the guard, and the tenant farmers of the family are all gathered and killed, and I will go and arrest those defeated soldiers for me, Xishui Town will be ruled by the Holy Sect from today onwards!"

"Yes, Father!"

Tian Wenhao had to make a choice, he was just a small gate valve, not as good as those wealthy businessmen, although there was a nursing home at home, they were all relatively strong young and strong selections, there were two worshippers in the family, and most of the people in the neighborhood were similar to him, and the strength of the union was limited.

The road of joint self-defense is impassable, the only choice is the Holy Sect and the Empire, but there is a foreshadowing, he has been scraped with the symbol of the Holy Religion, he hesitated, just for the hundred acres of fertile land, and when he heard that the defeated army had arrived here, it was obvious that the footsteps of the Holy Sect Army were not far away, and there was no time for him to hesitate:

Liu Rufeng returned to the river with some hot buns and some sauce meat, and when the group saw the food, they immediately pounced and devoured it, but the food taken by a few people was far from filling the stomachs of these hundred and ten people, but it was enough to make the group have more strength, and they didn't have to worry that they didn't even have the strength to hold a knife.

"Take a break, everyone go to the town with us, and then fill your stomach, I have already asked, this Xishui Town is only thirty miles away from the water, and we will be able to go back soon!"

Before Liu Rufeng's words fell, he saw a large group of young people on the road next to him, led by naturally the two worshippers of the Tian family, as well as dozens of nursing homes, and hundreds of young and strong laborers in the rear.

Tian Mingxue, who was the leader, saw Liu Rufeng and the others, sneered, and said, "Above, I've arrested them all!"

At the same moment, on the other side of the river bank of Xiangshui, there were more than 30 boats leaning on the dock, Leng Zhuo led a large number of Three Kingdoms generals and armor to board the boat, Leng Zhuo's line almost 800 people, although the number is not much, but all of them are beast cavalry.

These people already have demonic beast mounts, and the psychic ritual seems to have become simple, Shedu has completed the psychic ritual, with the assistance of the Gathering Spirit Pill, the psychic eggs in the body hatch very quickly, and it has only been more than a month, and they simply began to shape the soul of the psychic beast directly according to the mount, and according to this speed, as long as the Gathering Spirit Pill is sufficient, a group of soldiers of the first level of the earth spirit can be created within three months.

Of course, the quick success is not without its shortcomings, that is, the use of spiritual power can be described as terrible, still at the level of a psychic apprentice, and it takes more time to control this power, but even so, it is enough to envy countless people:

To create a holy soldier, Leng Zhuo didn't make persistent efforts, because building a holy soldier was too draining, he needed to recover, and he didn't want to spend it in retreat in this chaotic situation.

All the saddle battalions that the logistics department can call have been used, but the occupation is not just a small flag, this piece of land is considered its own, so dozens of radiant heavy battalions can only hold a piece of each and control the key points on both sides of the water, and the ordinary soldiers and horses seem to be a lot, but as soon as they are scattered, they know that these people smashed out, and they didn't even make a splash:

It's okay to be drenched in the east, but on the west bank of the chaos, a battalion of soldiers and horses can only defend one city, and the warriors can only defend one town, and it is too scattered, although it can occupy more places, but it is easy to be divided into catties. Break it, but it can't be controlled firmly, and there is a shortage of manpower, Leng Zhuo can only fill it in, one is to fill in the gaps, and the other is also to be used as a mobile force to fill in the leaks everywhere.

"Young master, they're all on board!"

"Then let's go!" Leng Zhuo nodded, more than thirty large ships carrying eight hundred people were very spacious, but in addition to people, there were also some carriages, horses, and equipment on this ship.

The waterway is very wide, the upstream section of the river is also two or three miles wide, the water flow is quite stable, the fleet follows the current, diagonally through it, but it goes straight to the river bank ferry more than ten miles downstream.

"Upstream of this Xishui ferry, there is a big town in less than thirty miles, Xizi Town, the whole town is mainly cultivated rice, the largest landlord in the local area is surnamed Tian, for the time being, this is still a zone that the empire can control, but the news brought back from Xiahou Yuan's air cavalry, the Holy Sect Army and the Rock Rebellion Army have rushed to this side, and the forward is not a day or two away from here!"

"The speed of the Holy Sect Army's actions is really not to say, it's only been a long time, and most of the entire Xiyan Mansion has already fallen! Haven't you figured out the specific strength of the Holy Sect Army?" Leng Zhuo stood on the Xishui Ferry, watched the carriages and horses unload from the ship one by one, and turned his head to Kong Mingchen.

"No, this Holy Cult Army has been lurking for too long before, and it is too deep, although it continues to expose its strength, it is difficult to figure out the specific number of the current Holy Sect Army, because every time, someone will join it, and the current military system of the Holy Sect Army is very vague, the banner is very chaotic, and we can't judge it by normal means, but several elite soldiers and horses in the Holy Sect Army have explored it clearly! The number of soldiers and horses in this army should be between 20,000 and 30,000, and the last time I had a hard encounter with General Chang was one of these five marching troops!"

Leng Zhuo nodded, the Holy Sect has been lurking for hundreds of years, and no one can guess how deep it has been buried in the Chuzhou region, but that demon girl Qin Yao can fascinate the Huang family's sister-in-law, Huang Shiren, and stay in the Huang family for almost a year, during this period of time, the Huang family doesn't know how many good things the Holy Sect has done for this holy sect, maybe the Vermilion Bird City has been infiltrated!

"Let's go, if the Holy Sect Army doesn't come to provoke me, it's fine, if you have to touch my bottom line, then have a good fight!"

Fighting, it seems inevitable, because the interests of the two sides are in conflict, Leng Zhuo, nearly a thousand people rode on the Mu horse, along the official road towards Xishui Town, and in Xishui Town, not far from Xishui Town, Liu Rufeng was also beaten to the ground, and his body was covered with seven or eight layers of scum nets.

Tian Wenhao planned to use these imperial routs to show his loyalty, but he never imagined that in the east of Xishui Town, an imperial army and horses were rolling towards Xizi Town.
