Chapter Fifty-Six: Destroying the Withering and Decaying

The Unification Church is calling?

Cui Yan was actually not surprised at all, with such a big situation, a lot of luck in the wasteland was lost, how could Lu Xuan just get some money.

"Good calculation." Cui Yan laughed and said, "If I'm not mistaken, the money for building ordnance and iron ore all have to be from my barren state, right?" ”

Through the purchase of iron ore in Kangguo, the money may have been obtained only when it arrived in the territory of the Wasteland, and then the money from the Wasteland was used to buy the resources of the Wasteland and used to fight the Wasteland, and the money continued to buy jade coins, and finally returned to Lu Xuan to buy the resources of the Wasteland.

It can be said that except for the grain that did not fall into Lu Xuan's hands, everything else in the wasteland was taken away by Lu Xuan in this almost plundering way, but it was ridiculous that he felt that he had no last resort, and he was calculated to such a point by a mud leg who he despised the most, and he was still complacent when he was sold by others.

Everyone was silent, at this moment, they really realized how terrible Lu Xuan was, or that there was a terrible wise man beside Lu Xuan who was manipulating all this.

"Big brother, it's useless to say anything now, for the sake of today's plan, let's block that Lu Xuan first." Cui Ping hurriedly said.

"The people's hearts are sluggish, the morale of the army is sluggish, the Unified Sect has been planning for this matter for five years, and now even if our army is assembled, I am afraid it will be difficult to defeat that Lu Xuan." Cui Yan said bitterly.

"How do you know if you haven't been beaten?" Cui Ping gritted his teeth and said, "Big brother, if it doesn't work, just ask the third brother for help." ”

"No way!" When Cui Yan heard this, he categorically refused.

Because of the relationship between mountains and rivers, the Cui family is actually in a state of separation, Cui Yan occupies Huangzhou, and the third Cui is developing in Jinzhou, although it is still a family on the surface, but in fact the interior is already in a state of independence, this time Cui Yan wants to harvest the plan to break the Unified Religion, Cui Yan is also looking for the Xie family to cooperate instead of cooperating with Cui Zheng, and now if he asks Cui Zheng for help, it means that he wants to bow to the third child, which is unacceptable to him.

"Lord!" After thinking for a moment, the chief strategist said: "After all, the third prince can't quench his thirst from far away, so I think that I can join forces with the Xie family and take advantage of the time when the Guiyi Sect invades my deserted state, and take the opportunity to attack Yanzhou, so that the Guiyi Sect will be difficult to take care of, and maybe you can also counterattack Yunzhou, if you can take Yunzhou, now the danger of the barren state will be solved." ”

Cui Yan nodded and said: "It can only be like this, but I didn't expect to get to this point, immediately send someone to the Xie family to discuss this matter with Xie Yun, we will help them attract the masters and main forces of the Guiyi Sect, and after the Xie family invades Yanzhou, help our army attack Yunzhou!" ”

According to the original plan, it was to wait for the time when the Guiyi Sect was mourning, and then the two families would send troops to conscript, who knew that the five-year layout was a complete failure, but it was calculated by Lu Xuan, and now it can only unite the forces of the two princes to attack.

After thinking about it, Cui Yan said: "In addition, send someone to Jinzhou and tell the third child that Huangzhou is in danger of overturning, and I don't expect him to send troops, but I hope that the second uncle can come to help me, and the Murong family, I hope to borrow two five-grade masters from them." ”

This plan for the Guiyi Sect was originally nothing to do with the Murong family, but now his side is not in a good position, and now the Guiyi Sect is pressing step by step, with the current understanding of the Guiyi Sect, there are seven five-grade masters on the bright side alone, and he doesn't believe that there are no new five-grade masters in the Guiyi Sect in recent years.

At least at the level of the Five Rank Masters, the Guiyi Sect was already superior to any of the three major families, and he didn't have the confidence to fight against Lu Xuan in this regard.

"Report~" Just as everyone was about to take their own actions, a general rushed over.

"What?" Cui Yan asked.

"My lord, the front line has sent an urgent military situation, and several generals stationed in Tanglin surrendered without a fight, and all surrendered to the Guiyi Sect, and now the Guiyi Sect has successfully crossed the Yunhe River and entered Dongling!" The general said in a deep voice.

"What!?" When everyone heard this, their faces changed greatly.

Although Yunzhou and Huangzhou are close to each other, there are mountains everywhere, and what is really connected is only this Tanglin County, and Xiuwu County is only separated by a Yunhe, before the trade between the two sides, it is mainly based on Tanglin County, in order to prevent the Guiyi Sect dog from jumping off the wall in a hurry, Cui Yan specially arranged heavy troops in Tanglin County, and henchmen and generals were stationed, I never thought that Tanglin County would be the first to fall.

"But the master of the Five Grades of the Guiyi Sect made a move?" The Chief Strategist asked, frowning.

"No master of the Guiyi Sect has ever made a move, and the defenders of Tanglin County have taken the initiative to surrender!" The general said bitterly.

"Do you know why?" Cui Ping is a little uneasy, there is no danger between Tanglin and Tianquan County, and when the other party steps into Tanglin County, he can drive straight into Tianquan County.

Cui Yan did understand a little, and Sen Ran looked at Pei Ruhai and said, "The matter of jade coins, is Tanglin County also involved?" ”

"I really don't know." Pei Ruhai smiled bitterly, he was only responsible for the part of Tianquan County and made the jade coins, as for other things, he didn't know, and it was impossible for Lu Xuan to let him know.

"Does the lord suspect that the generals of Tanglin County are all rebelling because of the jade coin?" The Chief Strategist was a little incredible.

"Since ancient times, wealth has moved people's hearts, nothing is impossible, and there is only this explanation, the situation is even worse than I imagined, I am using Yuzhu to calculate Lu Xuan, and Lu Xuan is also using Yuzhu to calculate me! How many people's interests have been affected by this small jade coin, you should know very well that now the Yuzhu trade has touched the interests of many people, plus the failure of Yanyun's grain plan, as long as Lu Xuan's side promises to accept the jade coin in his hand, I am afraid that a large number of people are willing to surrender, not only the generals, but also the jade coin, almost all the people of Huangzhou are involved. ”

Cui Yan said with a sigh and said: "If the desperate grain plan can succeed and break through Yunzhou in one fell swoop, this matter can also be suppressed, but now that the desperate grain plan has completely failed, it can't be suppressed." ”

Everyone's hearts were heavy, the fifteen counties of Huangzhou, just after the war, one county surrendered without a fight, Lu Xuan's plan was continuous, and it didn't give them a chance to breathe.

"Hurry up and ask for help, luck can't be counted on, you can only rely on the final master to determine the victory, fourth!" Cui Yan said and looked at Cui Ping.

If his luck is at its peak, even if he loses a county, he is not afraid of the opponent's masters, but now that his luck has begun to decay, with the current situation, when the army of the Unified Sect arrives in Yangquan, I am afraid that there will not be much luck left, and without luck, he can only hope that the master level can override the Unified Sect.

"Big brother, what do you command?" Cui Ping hurriedly stepped forward and said.

"You go to the border on my behalf, ask General Shan Hongfei to come here, and let Cui Yu get out of the customs as soon as possible." Cui Yan said in a deep voice: "Let him go to Zhangjinzhou and Wuzhou for help quickly, and send a few more Liupin to Zhangzhou, and ask the Xie family to send troops to Yanzhou as soon as possible." ”

The speed of ordinary fast horses is too slow, and with the current menacing appearance of the Guiyi Sect, sending ordinary messengers over, I am afraid that they will not be able to catch up at all, so they can only be sent by the masters of the five grades to invite reinforcements as quickly as possible.

"Yes!" Everyone said yes and went their separate ways.

Cui Yan quickly gathered the soldiers in the area of Tianquan County, no matter what, at least he had to block the opponent's troops first.

However, before Cui Yan could organize a defense, the battle reports on the front line had already snowflakes converging towards Yangquan.

"My lord, the defense line of our army's southern front has been completely broken!"

"Lord, our army's northern front sent a letter for help overnight, the enemy's offensive is too fierce, and half of the cities in Qingxiao County have been broken by the enemy!"

"Lord, the defense line in the east is starting to crumble, and support is urgently needed!"

It's just that overnight, Cui Yan's carefully arranged defense lines have been in an emergency, and the southern line has been completely lost!

"How many soldiers and horses did the Unification Church send?" Cui Yan was a little unacceptable, even if the morale was low and the people's hearts were unstable, the defense line he had been operating for many years could not be broken so easily, right?

If the other party dispatched the five-grade master, it would be fine, but judging from the battle report, the other party did not dispatch the five-grade master at all, how did the other party do it.

It is impossible for logistics to be delivered so quickly.

"I went to see it yesterday, and the number of people is not much, less than 100,000!" Cui Ruiyuan, the master of the Cui family standing next to Cui Yan, said.

"Less than 100,000!?" Cui Yan looked at him with wide eyes in disbelief: "One hundred thousand troops, can you break through my three lines of defense?" ”

If he hadn't known that his clan uncle couldn't lie to himself, Cui Yan thought that Lu Xuan had mobilized hundreds of thousands of horses to attack this time, he looked at Cui Ruiyuan and said, "And how can 100,000 soldiers and horses advance so quickly?" Not to mention how the logistical baggage is transported, it is impossible for the army alone to arrive so quickly. ”

"They used magic weapons, a kind of flying boat, but the speed is much slower than the flying boat that Qin Tianjian has seen before, but for mortals, the speed of this flying boat is already extremely fast, and it is not difficult to travel five hundred miles a day, and the other party's soldiers, horses, and weapons are continuously sent here through the flying boat." Cui Ruiyuan sighed: "I wanted to make a move, but there are masters in the opponent's army, once I make a move, it will be a five-grade duel!" ”

"Magic weapon!?" Cui Yan looked at Cui Ruiyuan, mortal war, using a large number of magic weapons? Da Qian had never been so extravagant when he was at his strongest, where did the Guiyi Sect get so many magic weapons? Even the simplest magic weapon can't be so proliferated.

"I don't know about this, but the other party's siege equipment may also be ......" Cui Ruiyuan sighed, the other party directly used magic weapons to siege the city, how can this battle be fought?

Cui Yan was a little unrelenting: "Uncle, our magic weapon ......"

Cui Ruiyuan knew what he meant, shook his head and said: "There are only a few magic weapons in the treasury, if you compare them individually, they are far better than the other party, but the other party is not the magic weapon itself, but the quantity, the flying boat is much more convenient than the cavalry, and it can attack the city directly from the sky, the city wall has no meaning to the Guiyi Sect, even if we take out all the magic weapons, it will be useless." ”

Cui Yan laughed miserably: "Then we can only watch him gradually encroach on the Wasteland?" ”

Before the luck is gone, the masters on Lu Xuan's side will not come to Yangquan directly, but as the city continues to fall, the luck gathered in Yangquan will slowly dissipate, how to defend it when the time comes?

"Delay as much as possible, I hope the second brother and they can arrive as soon as possible!" Cui Ruiyuan sighed and said.
