Volume 1: Born to Be a Hero Chapter 182: Strategic Approach
The rest of the things can be put aside for the time being, but there is one thing that has to be considered by He Yi first.
The matter of the altar of Babel.
According to the news that Fan Yu said, in a year, the altar of Tongtian will be opened again, that is to say, next year today, there will be a new saint immortal descending into the world.
Two years ago, in the Battle of the Snow Beasts, six Holy Immortals and thousands of elite monks from Zhongzhou died in the Northern Wilderness Snow Plain, and it was impossible for the Imperial City not to know about such a big movement.
Now there is a vacancy in the position of the governor of the six states, there is no suppression by the holy immortals, and the voices of rebellion and uprising are getting louder and louder, just in a remote and cold place like Rongzhou, there are several people such as Li Rongzhai, Bailongzhai, and Beihai Division who have raised troops to resist, not to mention other places.
The world is about to be in chaos......
The reason why the Imperial City continued to open the altar of Tongtian was also to quell the rebellion of all parties.
They wanted to continue to summon new immortals and entrust them with the position of state priest to suppress the resistance within the states.
If a year later, the new Saint Immortal was arranged by the Imperial City to Rongzhou, it would really be difficult to do......
"Yunyi, Qianzhong. What do you think about the Heavenly Altar?" He Yi said, rubbing his head in pain.
After a lot of hard work, it was not easy to get a city to settle in, and it was not easy to get rid of the Qi Cultivation Sect.
If the Imperial City really sent a holy immortal to Rongzhou, then everything would have to go back to square one......
Not only will Huyang suffer, but even the wilderness bordering the northern border will be forced into war.
The two pondered for a moment, and Liao Qianzhong first said: "Lord, now that the Qi Cultivation Sect has been destroyed, the immortal has obtained a large amount of spiritual property, and he can continue to develop his influence in other county towns. Within a year, his subordinates are confident that they will develop a cultivation force that is no less than that of any Immortal Sect!"
Gongliangju also said: "What Brother Liao said is one of them. Major General, we still have a year to go, if we can take the entire Rongzhou territory within this year and wipe out all the immortal sects in the territory, even if a new state pastor really comes in the future, it will be just a puppet with no power, and it won't be able to make any waves. β
It is true that there is at least one year left for the side to breathe, and in this year's time, there is every chance to expand the existing forces to a point that should not be underestimated.
When He Yi first settled in Pingyuan County, he can be described as poor and white.
There are no soldiers and horses in his hands, and there is no money and food, and he can still capture Huyang, punish the Zhao family, and destroy the Qi Sect within a year.
Besides, today, he already has a heavy army in his hands, and with the help of a sharp weapon like an immortal monk, why worry about a big thing?
"What Yun Yi said is extremely true!" A fine light flashed in He Yi's eyes, and he clapped his hands and shouted: "Come on, take the topographic map of Rongzhou!"
Then he ordered someone to take a topographic map of Rongzhou and spread it on the table.
Pointing out the country and sitting on the table.
Gong Liangju and Liao Qianzhong were on the side to assist and offer advice.
The master and servant sat opposite each other, and talked at night.
............
"There are four county towns in Rongzhou, Huyang, Dangyang, Puyang, and Rongyang. Among them, Dangyang City is the closest to Huyang, and there is nothing to rely on around, easy to attack and difficult to defend, if we want to send troops, Dangyang City is the first choice. Major General, I have a plan to fight with the clam and the clam of the snipe. Gongliangju stood up and offered advice.
He Yidao: "Yunyi, please speak." β
Gongliangju picked up a small flag, placed it on a valley outside Dangyang City, and continued: "There is a cottage thief in this valley, named Bailongzhai, who once led an army to attack Dangyang City without success, and was stopped by the monks in the Xianmen. Although its strength is unknown, it can compete with the immortal gate head-on without extinguishing, and it is extremely powerful to think of. In my opinion, the soldiers and armor, grain and grass and other generous profits can be made to Bailongzhai, so that it can send troops again, and attract the main force of the Dangyang army and the attention of the immortal gate outside the city. At that time, our army only needs one elite army to storm the back gate, and the city will definitely be broken!"
Liao Qianzhong pondered for a moment and said, "Lord, although Yunyi's plan is good, the lower officials feel that it is better not to directly send troops to capture the city." β
He Yi wondered, "Oh?
Liao Qianzhong replied: "This Huyang's soldiers and horses, it is better not to move." Although I don't know how to lead an army to fight, I know that cultivators, if the immortal gate outside Dangyang City is not removed, even if we take the city, we will be restrained by it. In addition, whether the White Dragon Village can be trusted is also a question, if they turn back halfway and tell Dangyang City about the matter, then we will become the target of public criticism. β
Gongliang Ju said: "This matter can be assured, I have carefully asked Qin Guang and Li Ai, saying that the White Dragon Village is extremely hostile to cultivators, and I think they are also some poor people like us." Ju is willing to go to Bailongzhai to lobby in person with a three-inch tongue. β
β......β
Gongliangju and Liao Qianzhong had a slight difference in their ideas, one advocated taking the lead in attacking the city, and then slowing down the Xianmen, and the other advocated getting rid of the Xianmen first, and then seizing the city.
These are two completely different ways of thinking.
The former is fast, but the risk is indeed not small, and it is very likely to expose one's intentions.
The latter is steady and steady, but it is too slow, and it is not known how many years it will take to achieve its goal.
He Yi closed his eyes and pondered, weighing the pros and cons in his mind, and said after a while: "What is the situation in Dangyang City, we still don't know yet, it's better to ββββ money like this, you first send someone to send a letter to Dangyang City, hand it over to Na Ma Shang Ma Taishou, and say that I will visit the door in a few days." He has only recently received our spiritual property and exercises, and he will not refuse. β
Only by knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent can one not be defeated.
He Yi is ready to go to Dangyang City in person to find out the relationship between the Dangyang defenders, the families in the city, the immortal gate outside the city, and the White Dragon Village, and then make a decision.
"Yes. β
Liao Qianzhong nodded, thought about it, and continued: "Lord, Rongyang City is on the west side of Huyang, with a Puyang City in the middle, and two passes of Tianhai and Shanghuai are blocked. Why don't you use the excuse of tomorrow to escort Fan Yu back to Rongyang City, and then divide half of Xiandang's existing manpower, secretly send it over, and develop Xiandang's power over there in advance, what do you think?"
Liao Qianzhong wants to develop the power of Xiandang in Rongyang City in advance, the sooner the better, and in the future, Xiandang can also be used as the main force.
As for the immortal dang in Huyang City, everything has basically stabilized, leaving the Zhao family, that is, Jiang Kai and Jiang Sheng, to take care of business here.
"Absolutely. He Yi agreed, and said: "That Fan Yu, the power in Rongyang City should not be large, if it weren't for that, he wouldn't have the idea of Huyang City...... If you have the opportunity, you can use the power of Xiandang to push him in secret, help him become bigger, and provoke some contradictions, so that Rongyang can fight inwardly and die more cultivators. β
The reason why He Yi chose to let Fan Yu live was to let Fan Yu go back and continue to disturb the forces in Huyang City, so as not to dominate the family.
If you can take this opportunity to develop Xiandang in Rongyang City, it will naturally be better, and when you capture the city in the future, you will have a better chance of winning.
"When Yang City is the first choice for sending troops, and Rongyang City has to be slowly mapped, then the only thing left is this Puyang City......" He Yi stretched out a finger and pointed at Puyang City on the map, and said: "The family in Puyang City is the Zhong family, and the Zhong family has always remained neutral, so it should not hinder us from attacking the city." As for how to destroy the immortal gate outside the city, it is a difficult problem......"
The power of the Immortal Gate is huge.
He Yi was able to successfully destroy the Qi Cultivation Sect, it can be said that he was blessed by the Heavenly Time to a large extent, and it was completely due to luck.
At that time, the Qi Cultivation Sect was betrayed by Hong Ling, and used the walking corpses controlled by the snow ghost to kill a lot of Qi Cultivation Sect disciples, coupled with Hong Jing's greed, he frequently sent people to the Northern Wilderness Snow Plains to find rare treasures, resulting in too many casualties among the inner disciples, and their strength was greatly reduced.
This gave He Yi the opportunity to take advantage of the situation.
If it was directly against a complete immortal gate, he didn't think he was sure......
"Major General, in my opinion, this matter is not a problem. Gongliang Ju suddenly smiled mysteriously and said loudly.
"Oh, what is Yunyi's plan? Come on!" He Yi couldn't help but be stunned.
The affairs of Xianmen have always given He Yi a headache, but looking at Gongliangju's appearance, it seems that he is completely sure that he can get rid of Puyang City.
This made He Yi feel very surprised.
"Major General, please look at this picture!"
Gongliangju took a brush from the table, dipped it in some cinnabar red ink, drew a circle in the upper left corner of the map, and said: "The immortal gate outside Puyang City is called the Changbai Sword Sect, and its location is on the border between Rongzhou and Liaozhouββββ Major General, do you remember the 'Wuqian Prefecture' in the northwest?"
Saying this name, He Yi and Gongliangju were silent for a moment.
"Of course I do. He Yi closed his eyes and subconsciously clenched his fists.
There is no state, a state without roots...... The burial place of the Beirong army.
That place, both for him and for Gongliangju, was a sad place.
"The location of the entrance to Wuganzhou is near the junction of Rongzhou and Liaozhou. We can use the letter seal of Juzhen Palace to forge the order of the Imperial City and force the Changbai Sword Sect to explore deep into the Wuqian Prefecture. Gongliangju's expression was gloomy and he said, "That place ...... It's very evil, and I always feel that there is something invisible and extremely terrible......"
At that time, the imperial city ordered the Beirong army to enter Wuganzhou to explore, but it was unsuccessful several times, almost the entire army was annihilated, and tens of thousands of good men died in Jiuquan, and the Beirong army also collapsed and gradually disappeared.
As for Gongliangju, as one of the few survivors of those marches, he still has a great shadow on that place.
According to his description, there is an extremely high mountain peak in the depths of the yellow sand of Wuzhou, which is called "not Zhou", faintly visible and out of reach.
Strong winds often blew in Wuganzhou, and the closer they got to the mountain, the stronger and stronger the wind became, sweeping through the yellow sand, almost burying people.
When the army explored the depths, the wind turned into a sharp knife ββββ the sharp knife of time.
Every time it is engraved on a person's body, it will begin to grow old at a speed visible to the naked eye, and eventually inexplicably turn into a pile of dry bones......
"Not Zhoushan, not Zhou...... The Wind Beast is not careful!" He Yi suddenly remembered the ancient secrets that the Tree Ancestor told him when he was in the Ancient Temple of the Three Gods in the Barbarian Realm.
The secular world is blocked by the four sacred beasts of wind, snow, thunder, and clouds. In the Northern Wilderness Snow Field in the northeast, the corresponding holy beast is the snow beast 'Xuan Ming', and the corresponding holy beast in the northwest is the legendary wind beast 'Buzhou'.
"This matter is feasible! and leave it to Du Dao to handle it, and act as soon as possible. He Yi said in a deep voice.
The strength of that wind beast is not known, but as a holy beast on the same level as the snow beast, its strength will definitely not be weak.
The six holy immortals, plus thousands of elite monks in Zhongzhou, still have no choice but to snow beasts.
That mere immortal gate will naturally be easily destroyed by the wind beast......
Hearing that He Yi was going to hand over such an important matter to Du Dao to do, Liao Qianzhong was startled and said: "Think twice, Du Dao is impulsive and irritable by nature, I'm afraid he will make a mistake!"
He and Du Dao have known each other for many years and know each other very well, and it is not an exaggeration to say that Du Dao is a stunned young man.
Such a reckless person, if he is seen by the Xianmen, he is afraid that it will cause a big deal.
He Yi shook his head and said with a smile: "I think that Du Dao is the best candidate for this matter! With Du Dao's temper, it is just right to achieve the effect of being fake and real. If you are a cautious person, you will arouse suspicion...... The matter is so decided, tell Du Dao and let him play freely. β
"This ...... I see, Xia Guan understood. Liao Qianzhong pondered for a moment and suddenly smiled.
