Chapter Thirty-Eight
The Shanhai Gang, the council hall, everyone had solemn faces. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
"Sect Master, we can't wait any longer, look at the posture of the officers and soldiers, they must be scouting the terrain, and then when the army arrives, they will come to attack our Shanhai Gang. ”
"We can't sit still, we should strike before the Song army arrives!"
At this time, many elders of the Shanhai Gang showed extremely solemn expressions on their faces.
One of them was even more agitated, stood up and waved his arms and shouted loudly, his face flushed.
Don't look at their arrogance when they are ordinary, but they also know the gap between their sect and the vassal states, if the Song State is really determined to sweep away the Shanhai Gang, in the absence of other foreign aid, the Shanhai Gang will definitely be destroyed.
At the beginning, the sect master of the Shanhai Gang went to invite Uncle Xiao to go out of the mountain, help them restrain Huan Chang, and then kill the two hundred cavalry to relieve their anger.
It's just that although Uncle Xiao has a temperament, he doesn't like to fight, and he has lived long enough, and his knowledge is naturally extraordinary.
Uncle Xiao just asked the sect leader of the Shanhai Gang at that time: "If you anger the Song Kingdom and make the other party go out, what should you do?"
Hearing this question, the sect leader of the Shanhai Gang was stunned on the spot, unable to speak for a long time.
Dominating one side for a long time has made the sect leader of the Shanhai Gang not pay attention to the strength of the Song State.
He never thought that Song Guo would dare to attack the Shanhai Gang.
Now that he was reminded by Uncle Xiao, the sect master of the Shanhai Gang suddenly realized, and immediately felt cold sweat on his back.
"What's more, the reason why we established the sect is not to cut the land and stand on our own, but to gather like-minded people, pass on martial arts, and then pursue the ultimate in martial arts. ”
"But the vast majority of sect masters have long forgotten this original intention, and instead began to compete with the vassal states for power and profit, this state of mind wants to achieve something in martial arts, it is as difficult as ascending to the sky!"
After speaking, Uncle Xiao sighed and drifted away into the distance.
In fact, many masters in the sect do not have a strong desire for power, and the vast majority of real masters are still obsessed with the pursuit of martial arts.
The reason why there is constant friction between the sect and the vassal states is because these strong people can't break the incense relationship, and when the sect encounters danger, they are forced to help.
Most of the time, these strong men live in seclusion in the mountains and forests, and do not ask about the world.
If there is no such state of mind, the martial arts powerhouses will not be able to have this kind of achievement.
It was precisely after listening to Uncle Xiao's words that the sect master of the Shanhai Gang did not send people to chase and kill the two hundred cavalry, but began to restrain the disciples of the sect not to clash with the Song army.
What he didn't expect was that when the Shanhai Gang had already made a lot of concessions, his disciples found that there were many cavalrymen who were constantly reconnoitring in the territory of the Shanhai Gang.
The sect leader of the Shanhai Gang sent people to pursue, but he did not gain anything, and his disciples suffered heavy casualties.
Just when the Shanhai Gang felt that the Song Kingdom was ready to make a move on them, so they sent people to reconnoiter the terrain, but they learned that a large army was coming towards Shanyang County.
After knowing this news, the people of the Shanhai Gang immediately changed color, and many people had the feeling that the mountain rain was about to come and the wind was full of buildings.
"I was just guessing before, but now that I know that the army of the Song State is assembling towards Shanhai County, in the case that the bandits in Shanhai County have been cleared, I can't think of any other reason besides dealing with the Shanhai Gang. ”
The Sect Master of the Shanhai Gang stood up, his face a little cloudy.
"In this case, we have no reason to retreat, pass on my order, recall all the experienced disciples, and gather the soldiers and horses under the command of the sect to fight to the death!"
The 30,000 Song army was on their way to Lido, and now there were only five days left, and if the Song State really wanted to destroy the Shanhai Gang, they still didn't make the slightest move, and it wouldn't be long before they were destroyed.
In Lido City, Huan Chang finally smiled after listening to the scout's report.
"If the Shanhai Gang keeps shrinking, even if the soldiers and horses arrive here, I can't find a reason to attack them. ”
"Now that they have already started to move, this war is inevitable. ”
Huan Chang led the troops on this expedition, not only to prepare to sweep away the bandits in the territory, but also to take action against them without hesitation if he caught the handle of the second- and third-rate sects.
The sect cedes the land and stands on its own, which has always been an internal trouble that cannot be ignored for the Song State, and if any opportunity is found, the vassal states will take action to weaken the strength of the sect within the territory.
It's just that, considering that the major sects are in the same spirit, if there is no sufficient excuse, the vassal states will not dare to act rashly.
Huan often sent people to the territory of the Shanhai Gang to investigate, precisely to lure the snake out of the hole and create the illusion that the Song army was preparing to attack the Shanhai Gang.
As long as the Shanhai Gang takes the lead, the last obstacle of clearing the Shanhai Gang will also be cleared.
At that time, even if the rest of the sects wanted to intervene, the Song State was able to occupy the moral supremacy.
"Pass my order, don't be the first to attack the Shanhai Gang!"
"If the city closest to the Shanhai Gang can't be defended, you can directly abandon the city and leave, and the city lord and the defenders will not be punished. ”
I have to say that although the Shanhai Gang is only a third-rate sect, its strength should not be underestimated, and the speed of mobilizing troops and horses is extremely fast.
In three days, the Shanhai Gang had dispatched masters and troops to capture two county towns successively, and the city lords of the two counties fled in despair.
At the same time, the 30,000 Song army bound for Lido was blocked by a narrow road, and there was no way to continue its advance.
It turned out that there were also wise men in the Shanhai Gang, who knew that if the 30,000 army was allowed to enter Lido, the outcome of this war would be unpredictable.
For the sake of today's plan, only by slowing down the march of the 30,000-strong army, and then capturing Shanyang County like lightning, can the Song State be forced to accept peace talks.
Therefore, the Shanhai Gang dispatched many masters to set up roadblocks on the road to the 30,000-strong army, and used the narrow terrain to block it.
For the sake of safety, even the unfathomable little uncle of the Shanhai Gang went with the army this time.
At this time, Uncle Xiao knew about the plight of the Shanhai Gang, although he didn't want to participate in the war, but for the sake of the sect, he could only agree in the end.
In a head-to-head duel, these masters may not be able to stop the 30,000 army.
However, they occupy a favorable terrain, as long as they use the advantage of their masters to jam the Song army's marching route, even if the 30,000 army fights strongly, there is no way.
"General, the Shanhai Gang has already rushed towards Lidu, and the 30,000 army is blocked, but what should I do?"
The county guard of Shanyang County had a solemn face, and there was also a little worry in his eyes.
The Shanhai Gang dispatched this time, and they came towards Lido with great momentum, and with Lido's existing forces, they may not be able to block the opponent's attack.
Huan Chang heard this, but he just looked into the distance, and said after a long time: "Lord County Guard, don't worry, the soldiers will come to block it, and the water will cover it." ”
"As long as I'm here, Lido won't be breached. ”
