Volume 7 Chapter 210 The Problem
On the side of the cliffs of Chijia Mountain and Baiyan Mountain above Kuimen, the leaders of various factions gathered here, looking solemnly in the direction of Baidi City.
Yang Ning and Cao Xueyang stood beside Luo Changfeng, and their faces were also full of helplessness, these twelve serial docks have been entrenched in the hinterland of the Tang Dynasty for more than ten years, killing people and goods, doing all kinds of evil, and the imperial court has repeatedly lost troops in its hands, which can be described as a thorn in the eye of the imperial court, a thorn in the flesh.
But the Twelve Docks were too difficult to deal with, and the imperial court was powerless, so this time it was difficult to take advantage of the east wind of the Heaven and Earth Society to sweep away its peripheral forces and surround Qutang Gorge.
Seeing that it was about to be uprooted, who knew that Nanzhao's rebellion gave Gong Ao a glimmer of life, and at this time, whether it was the various factions in the rivers and lakes or the imperial court, they all hated Nanzhao to the core.
A month ago, Nanzhao suddenly raised troops and sent an army of 50,000, with 30,000 controlled poisonous corpse puppets led by Wumeng Gui of Tianyi Sect as the vanguard, captured the state of Jianzhou, and killed Zhang Qiantuo, the Taishou of Yunnan.
Jiannan Jiedu made Xian Yu Zhongtong raise 80,000 troops and horses to meet the attack, defeated the army of poisonous corpses, and the Tang soldiers lost more than 60,000 people, and these more than 60,000 people are not simple casualties.
Against the army of poisonous corpses, there is no such thing as "injury", even if the body is only cut through a cut, the only result in the end is to be assimilated into a poisonous corpse.
The poisonous corpses do not attack the poisonous corpses, but only attack the living, and those poisonous corpses are equivalent to turning into the enemy's help.
When the news reached Qutang Gorge, the situation was already very critical, and the imperial court urgently dispatched Li Mi, the queen of Jiannan, to lead 70,000 troops to resist the Nanzhao army.
But everyone knows that with the remaining troops under Xian Yu Zhongtong, only 90,000 horses and horses will not be able to stop the army of poisonous corpses at all.
It is because the imperial court dispatched troops from all over the world to rush to the southwest battlefield, and it is necessary to block the enemy in the southwest border, otherwise once the army of poisonous corpses enters the hinterland of the Central Plains, it will be out of control.
In this situation, the imperial court naturally no longer had the leisure to spend time with the twelve consecutive docks, and the county guard of Yun'an County personally found Mo Yu and conveyed the court's request to him.
Yes, a request, not an edict.
The imperial court suspects that the Twelve Docks have secretly defected to Nanzhao, and if they can't exterminate the Twelve Docks, they are afraid that after the army is transferred, they will attack from the hinterland of the Tang Dynasty and join forces with the Nanzhao, so that Jiannan Road and Qianzhong Road are not Tang Dynasty.
Therefore, the imperial court hoped that the Heaven and Earth Society would be able to work together with the major martial arts sects to try to destroy the Twelve Lianwu, and at least they had to contain them, and they must not be allowed to get the opportunity to cooperate with Nanzhao and attack the Tang army.
Although the imperial court could not provide support in terms of troops, all the logistics and materials would be borne by the imperial court.
If it weren't for the fact that Heaven and Earth would suddenly declare war on the Twelve Docks, the situation would not have come to this point, and Emperor Gong Aotu would not have thought of going to Nanzhao if he did a good job.
Therefore, heaven and earth will be responsible for this matter, and after discussing with Luo Changfeng in private, Mo Yu, Li Fu and others finally agreed to the court's request.
In fact, Luo Changfeng knows very well that the Twelve Serial Docks must be exterminated, otherwise even if they don't collude with the Nanzhao Rebellion this time, what about when the Anshi Rebellion comes?
In any case, the Twelve Serial Docks are a tumor in the Tang Dynasty, and the henchmen of the imperial court must be eliminated.
Originally, there was a great opportunity to do this this time, but no one expected that Nanzhao would make such a fuss at this time, so the court did not blame the Heaven and Earth Society, but was very pleased that there was such a gang in the Tang Dynasty martial arts for the country and the people, and they hated Nanzhao.
Chunyang Palace has made a great contribution to the imperial court in the matter of the rebellion against Nanzhao this time, and this great achievement comes from Shangguan Boyu, which is the kind of medicine he developed under the inspiration of Luo Changfeng, although it cannot cure the poisonous corpse, but can kill the corpse poison and the poisonous corpse together.
He gave the prescription to the imperial court, and asked the imperial court to make a large number of drugs that could kill poisonous corpses, and if humans were bitten or scratched by poisonous corpses, as long as the medicine was applied to the wounds before the corpse poison spread, they could avoid turning into poisonous corpses.
At most, the infected piece of meat becomes rotten meat, and the chance of survival is still very high, even if it can't survive, at least it can ensure that the corpse will no longer turn into a poisonous corpse, resulting in the effect of eliminating the other.
With Shangguan Boyu's prescription, the Datang border army finally barely withstood Nanzhao's attack, but the counterattack was still weak, and the situation could not be reversed until support from all sides arrived.
......
"Changfeng, we are also leaving, here we can only rely on you and Heaven and Earth. Cao Xueyang stood with his gun in his hand, helplessly facing Luo Changfeng on his side.
Luo Changfeng nodded slowly, and said, "You have to be careful, ask my senior brother for more medicine, I'm afraid this battle can't be finished in a short time, we will try to solve the Twelve Docks as soon as possible and go to the southwest to support you." ”
Yang Ning smiled bitterly: "It's good that you have this heart, but now that there is no army as the main attack, you ...... Alas. ”
Mo Yu on the side said in a deep voice: "Actually, the biggest problem is not whether there is a main attack, as long as you can manage to send my two thousand Heaven and Earth Society disciples to White Emperor City, tens of thousands of people will not be a problem at all." ”
This is the biggest difficulty, the White Emperor City is located in the center of the confluence of the Yangtze River in Qutang Gorge, surrounded by water, it is an island in the river, if you want to go up to the White Emperor City, you have to take a boat from either side.
And the men and horses of the Twelve Docks formed a wall army formation on the shore, and there were still water thieves' warships blocking the river, and the disciples of the Heaven and Earth Society could not forcibly break through at all, and even if they could break through, there would be huge casualties.
Now Gong Ao has gathered all the horses in the White Emperor City, and the people are very dense, so they can't be transported by the small eagle.
After all, the little eagle can only transport fifteen people at a time, and if fifteen people are put down, the blisters can't turn over a few, and they will be submerged in the sea of people.
Unless you can put all the two thousand disciples in it at once, then you can easily wash the White Emperor City with blood.
But not every disciple of the Heaven and Earth Society understands water, and it is not realistic to dive underwater.
In fact, the best thing to do at the moment is just to besiege, because the current White Emperor City is a lonely city, and there is no material supply, so it can only sit and eat empty.
But the problem is that everyone doesn't know how much grain reserves there are in White Emperor City, what if they can last for a year and a half?
Others don't know, but Luo Changfeng knows very well that An Lushan Shi Siming is now full-fledged, and when the time comes, he will raise troops against the Tang Dynasty, and this time will never exceed a year.
He must deal with the Twelve Docks as soon as possible, and then shift his focus to the north to guard against the Wolf Tooth Army formed by An Lushan.
In fact, since half a year ago, Luo Changfeng has asked Mo Yu to establish a rudder in the Hebei Province, Taiyuan and Dingzhou each have a rudder, and there are 300 core disciples each, just to guard against An Lushan Shi Siming.
But now in this situation, how to quickly destroy the White Emperor City has become a problem for Luo Changfeng and the various sects, even if Li Fuchest has a clever plan and a thousand art of war, he is at a loss in the face of the White Emperor City.
The Twelve Serial Docks have existed for so long and have not been destroyed, after all, there is a reason for it!
