In the training ground of the base, the transcendent of Anxia Sect was ending a round of actual combat confrontation, and when Su An, Zhang Yuying, and Li Qingyun walked out together, Sun Zongsheng, who had been observing from the sidelines for a long time, smiled and clapped his hands:

"The pride of the sky in Dongping District has come together.

"The three of you join forces, and it is easy to eliminate a three-star sect, even if several three-star sects get together, one of them will be successfully beheaded by you if they are not careful."

Recently, the training of the transcendents of the Anxia Sect has achieved remarkable results, and some elite veterans have gradually developed a sense of pride and arrogance when they see that their families are powerful and well-equipped.

In order to polish the hearts of the members of the sect, Su An formed a team with Zhang Yuying and Li Qingyun to confront the carefully selected thirty or forty members of the Anxia Sect in the actual combat terrain, and as a result, they successfully captured the flag.

Zhao Xiaokui glanced at Sun Zongsheng: "I don't know about other three-star sects, if it is said that the Xingsheng Sect, with a cultivation like yours, they will inevitably be easily taken away." ”

The reason why she said so unceremoniously was because she had recently broken through the realm and advanced to level seven, while Sun Zongsheng, who had achieved level six earlier than her, did not go any further.

If ordinary people face Zhao Xiaokui's run, they will definitely be embarrassed and annoyed, but Sun Zongsheng has some ability to do it himself, and said with a smile:

"Being knocked out of the nest by good hands like Sect Master Su, Sect Master Zhao, and Sect Master Li, my grandson is not faceless. Besides, everyone is their own person, isn't your strength equal to my strength? ”

Zhao Xiaokui was so cheeky that Sun Zongsheng had nothing to say, so he stopped gagging with this guy, and turned to look at Su An and the others who walked into the rest area to drink water:

"Have you read the latest battle report? Toji didn't play well. ”

Su An bowed slightly: "Expected." ”

Recently, the Northern Demon Clan has driven a large number of demons to join forces with the Black Tide, and have united many large and small forces in the Chaos Lands to attack the edges of the officially controlled area from all directions.

Almost at the same time, the fighting broke out in dozens of towns in Lingdong Province, and the military camps garrisoned by the capital companies in the relevant areas were also attacked by the other side.

The scale of the engagements ranged from a few hundred to several thousand.

According to the information obtained by Su An, most of the dozens of official towns were captured in one night, and the capital division abandoned a large number of garrison camps, and the entire front was constantly shrinking to major cities.

As the capital of Lingdong Province, Jizhou City was naturally taken care of by demons, and more than a dozen towns in the western and northern regions were violently attacked, and there were countless demons and mutants.

Sun Zongsheng sighed:

"This is the initial stage of the war, and the demon's combat goal is to attack the officially controlled area, uproot the strongholds of the outlying towns, compress the space for the official soldiers and horses, and clear the obstacles for follow-up operations.

"In general, the demons are only the vanguard, and the combat power is not very strong, and the tentative meaning of the attack is mostly meaningful.

"They need to figure out whether the Yan State is well prepared, what the combat capabilities of each ministry and region are, and our overall strategic deployment before making a big attack.

In this way, they can launch the main offensive in a targeted manner.

"And once they figure out what we're doing, they're going to definitely step up their attacks; If they find out if we have a weak point in our defenses, they will strike at the flaws! ”

Lingdong Province has more than 500,000 square kilometers, and in addition to Jizhou City, there are seven cities with a population of more than one million and four cities with a population of several hundred thousand.

About one-third of them are relatively close to Lingdong Province, and the area controlled by the city has become the target of demon attacks.

But these cities are both local economic centers and military defense nodes, and each city has a small peripheral control area as a buffer zone.

With the demon army not yet coming, it is impossible to launch a powerful attack on these places at the same time with the strength of the demon clan monks and the land of chaos.

Even if the demon army crosses the Changling Mountain Range, it will not disperse its forces to attack these cities evenly, and the strength of the attack must be strong and weak, and the order of attack must be prioritized.

And urban areas with large weaknesses and obvious flaws will be given a head start by the demons.

Sun Zongsheng continued:

"To sum up, in the initial stage of the war, although the demon clan is an all-out attack, its strength is scattered, mainly tempting, and it retains the elite and does not show up, and it can advance or retreat strategically.

"But if the government doesn't respond properly, the offensive may be intensified immediately, not to mention that those small towns on the periphery, even Jizhou City, are not without the possibility of being taken care of!

"I've studied the previous battles between us and the Northern Demon Clan, and this was the case most of the time."

After saying this, everyone present fell into thought, and Zhao Xiaokui looked at Sun Zongsheng in a daze, and he didn't know if he couldn't understand the other party's tirade, or he didn't expect the other party to have such insight.

Su An recently made up for the situation in Lingdong Province, knowing that the scale of the officially controlled city looks terrifying, but it only adds up to a dozen pieces of territory.

In a wider area, there are countless towns and villages, and the number of people living in them who do not have a Yan household registration and who are not officially counted by Yan is only a lot more than the urban population.

Lingdong Province is a border province, and it borders the demon tribe, wars occur from time to time, and the land is relatively vast and sparsely populated.

However, because many people who could not survive in the cities of Yanguo would migrate and flee from various provinces and cities, this led to dense residents in the wilderness of towns and villages, and there was a mixture of fish and dragons.

If this force is completely mobilized by the demon clan and concentrates on attacking one or two cities, then except for Jizhou, any city will become an island in the vast ocean.

Jizhou City is relatively safe, as long as Lingdong Province is not fully captured by the demon clan, it will be difficult to fall with the size and strength of Jizhou City.

But Jizhou City is not absolutely safe.

If the goal of the demon clan in this battle is to take the Lingdong Province and divide the Changling Mountain Range into the territory, then once the demon clan army comes like a tide, it is difficult to say whether Jizhou City can defend it.

If the demon army wants to march in Jizhou City, it must defeat the border army, and the border army stationed in the Changling Mountains still has combat power, and Su Tangjing has served in the border army for many years.

Su An felt that it would not be easy for the demon clan army to fight.

As long as the border army is not defeated, no matter how jubilant the demons in the territory are, Su An does not think that Jizhou City will fall.

Of course, it's one thing not to fall, and it's another thing whether it will be chaotic, once the sea is rough and the wind and waves hit, it's another thing whether the boat of Anxiazong can be saved.

Su An didn't know anything about the deployment of the demon clan, and he didn't know how much hidden power the demon clan had in Jizhou City, so his judgment on the future might not be accurate.

He only understands one thing: no matter how the external situation changes and whether the situation of all parties is good or bad, only if his own strength is strong enough can he stand firm and live well.

......

It was day and night, and three armored vehicles drove out of the Anxiazong base.

In the afternoon, Su An received a call from Wang Zhe, who happily told Su An that the big man behind Zhengyang Sect took the initiative to contact him and proposed to enter the supermarket fresh market in Ping District.

In return, the other party will provide Wang Zhe with opportunities to enter the market in other businesses.

Wang Zhe gladly accepted the other party's proposal, and told Su An that the big man was very influential in the provincial council, and if he could become a partner with the other party, the long-term benefits would be too great to measure.

Wang Zhe said unabashedly that the big man in the provincial council may not value the supermarket fresh market in Dongping District, after all, there are already a lot of forces entering the market, and the benefits that the other party can share are limited.

What the other side really wants is nothing more than the energy of the political envoy.

The people of the provincial council joined forces with the people of the political secretary, and they knew with their toes how much wealth they could leverage.

Wang Zhe called Su An for two purposes.

One is to promise Su An that he will not forget Su An's friend, and when the new project is finalized, Su An will definitely be involved; The second is to let Su An contact and negotiate with the people of the Zhengyang Sect to divide the interests of both sides in Dongping District.

Zhengyang Sect, also known as Zhengyang Group, originated from Dongping District in the early years, although the headquarters has long been moved to a more prosperous core economic area, but it has many subsidiaries under it, some of which are in Dongping District.

Therefore, Zhengyang Sect is also regarded as the head snake of Dongping District, and has a certain influence at the grassroots level.

This time, the big man from the provincial council intervened in the Dongping District market, and he planned a high-level layout, and it was Zhengyangzong who was really running around doing things below, to be precise, those subsidiaries of Zhengyangzong.

According to the other party's discussion with Wang Zhe, the grassroots world in Dongping District in the future will be decided by those subsidiaries of Zhengyangzong and Anxiameng.

The two sides carved up the Dongping region and formed a community of interests, and the rest of the miscellaneous forces were either squeezed out or included in the interest alliance and controlled by them.

Su An went to see the people of the Zhengyang Sect tonight to discuss this matter with them.

Before leaving, Su An talked to the people of Zhengyang Sect on the phone, and the other party revealed that his ambition was not only the supermarket fresh market, but also his intention to enter other grassroots economic kingdoms.

If things develop well, it will undoubtedly bring new opportunities for both sides.

Anxia League and Zhengyang Sect are not small broken ships, and the political secretary and the provincial council are even more behemoths, since the two sides have come together, it is really unreasonable if they do not seek some big ones.

And this is exactly the benefit that a strong alliance should bring.

The prospect is very attractive, the money is bright, and anyone who faces such a great opportunity cannot help but be excited.

The meeting place agreed between Su An and Zhengyangzong is a well-known lively bar, which is neither the property of Anxiameng nor the territory of Zhengyangzong, and is located in the downtown area extending in all directions.

Not suitable for ambushes, good for initial meetings.

"Sect Master, shall we go in with you?" After parking the car, Zhang Yunjun, one of the only two sixth-level members of the sect, took the initiative to make a suggestion.

Su An looked at the dozen or so elite veterans he brought, and nodded at four of them as a fifth-level transcendent: "You go in with me, and the rest stay here." ”

Zhang Yunjun looked hesitant: "We don't go into the box with you, how about setting up pick-up seats along the way?" That's a bit more appropriate. ”

Su An thought about it, but still shook his head at the end: "No, you guys are here." ”

With that, he led the people to the bar.

......

Under the guidance of a waiter, Su An and the others walked all the way to the second floor, during which several members of the Anxia Sect observed and inspected everywhere, confirming that there were no additional transcendents except for the bar security guards.

Outside the door of a box, there were only two soldiers of the Zhengyang Sect standing guard here.

Su An left two people behind and led the other two into the door.

The box was spacious, brightly lit, with drinks and snacks on the table, and one person sitting on the sofa across the door, and two other transcendent beings standing beside it.

Seeing Su An enter the door, Liu Siyan stood up with a smile and greeted her in a cordial tone of greeting her best friend and tribulation robe:

"Su An, you are finally here, farewell to Guandu City, we haven't seen each other for several days.

"Originally, I was going to come to the door in person to thank you for taking care of me in the Land of Chaos, but unfortunately I was busy with surgery to adjust to my new arm, and I never had time.

"Just as we were going to cooperate, I begged my father to let me contact you, no matter what, I should treat you to a good meal and drink first."

Su An sat down on the sofa next to him, looked at the other party's manipulator intentionally or unintentionally, and said pointedly:

"The word care is a bit too much, the situation was bad at that time, and I didn't really take care of you."

Liu Siyan's smile is pure, and her delicate face is very convincing:

"It's true that you saved my life in the battle of Liuxi Town, and after we met in Xiaohe Town, if I hadn't walked with you all the way, it was also true that I wouldn't be able to go to a dangerous place.

"If that's not a care, do I have to let you hold me in the palm of your hand?"

In the end, she was actually a little embarrassed, her pink face was slightly red, and she glared at Su An with coquettishness.

Su An let out a long sigh: "Of course it's good that you can think like this." ”

Liu Siyan opened the wine bottle and began to pour wine: "If you don't think so, what else do you think?" Could it be that in your heart, I am just an unreasonable, black-and-white fool?

"Besides, this cooperation between the Zhengyang Sect and the Anxia League is related to the big man in the provincial council, as well as the money of the political envoy's son, what reason do we have not to do our best?"

Her meaning is clear:

Even if she still has a grudge against Su An in her heart, it is impossible to go against the wishes of the political envoy and the bigwigs behind the Zhengyang Sect, the consequences of offending them are too serious for anyone to afford.

As she spoke, Liu Siyan handed Su An a glass of wine, blinked her big watery eyes under her long eyelashes, and said sincerely:

"There is nothing more important in this world than Qian Cheng, and I hope we can work together."

Su An took the wine glass and raised it: "Qian Cheng is indeed very important. ”

The corners of Liu Siyan's mouth raised slightly, and she drank all the wine in the cup.

But when she put down the wine glass, she found that Su An didn't move with the wine glass, but looked at her with a deep face, and didn't mean to drink it at all.

"What are you looking at me like that?" Liu Siyan did not urge directly.

Su An smiled lightly: "If I don't drink this glass of wine, won't our cooperation be possible?" ”

Liu Siyan was stunned: "What are you talking about?" ”

Su An said slowly: "I'm afraid, I'm afraid that this wine is poisonous." ”
