Chapter 104: The Return Journey Was Difficult

A martial arts battle between good and evil came to an end, and it seemed to be a tiger's head, but it was over. But in fact, this is also the normal state of the struggle of the top forces in martial arts, when the hostile forces cannot be bombarded to the scum with absolute superiority, the battle between the two sides is everywhere from the top combat power to the bottom pawns, and even from a hundred years ago to a hundred years later, it will still maintain a certain degree of restraint, and occasionally a big war will often start from the interests of the bottom, but end with the victory or defeat of the high-level confrontation, and then tacitly truce for a period of time, licking the wounds while also accumulating strength for the next battle. No one will be so stupid as to fight hard in a battle, and let the third party, the fourth party and other forces take advantage of the fisherman in vain!

For the prodigal heroes, the rivers and lakes are the cradle of bloody dreams and the whirlpool of grievances and hatreds, but for the sect gangs, the rivers and lakes have always been just Vanity Fair, and any wonderful fantasy other than that will be shattered by the bloody and cold reality, and end up with a miserable ending! Of course, if you have the "pig's foot halo" to protect yourself, you can barely mix a somewhat bleak "little consummation".

War has always been an extension of politics, and the battle between Wuyue and the Demon Sect is the representative of the entire battle between the rivers and lakes, and it is the core stage of the Vanity Fair. There is no doubt that as the main initiators of this war between good and evil, Zuo Lengchan and Yue Buqun have both obtained the results they want.

Zuo Lengchan never thought that he could destroy the Demon Sect in one battle from the beginning, this is unrealistic, nor is it in line with the interests of Wuyue, let alone the strategy of Songshan - if there is no Demon Sect as the object of fire, the Wuyue Alliance will be a bit redundant, and the leader of the Wuyue Alliance will also lose its value of existence, and the lonely Songshan faction will have to face the suppression of Shaolin, the number one faction in martial arts, and the two families are so close, how can he Zuo Lengchan and Songshan disciples live?

Songshan is already a first-class famous sect in the rivers and lakes, and Zuo Lengchan is also a first-class master of the mighty martial arts, but people go to high places and the water flows to low places, who doesn't want to go further? Therefore, what Zuo Lengchan really needs is to show the strength of the Songshan faction in the battle with the Demon Sect far beyond the other four first-class sects in Wuyue and other first-class sects in the rivers and lakes, and show his Zuo Lengchan's far superior martial arts...... Let the entire rivers and lakes, especially Shaolin, Wudang and the other four factions of Wuyue know that the Songshan faction is the mainstay of the fight against the Demon Sect, and the righteous path of martial arts is indispensable to the ace team of the Songshan faction, and he Zuo Lengchan is a top master who can rival the leader of the Demon Sect, and Wuyue is indispensable to him Zuo Lengchan, a powerful alliance leader!

Tigers, only by showing enough sharp claws can they delineate their desired prey in the jungle!

Zuo Lengchan wants to sit firmly as the leader of the Wuyue Alliance, and the Songshan faction wants to become the third force in the martial arts righteous path after Shaolin and Wudang, and get a larger share of the cake in the Jianghu Vanity Fair, how can he not fight and fight? Relatively speaking, although the risk of fighting with the Demon Sect is greater, it is still within the tolerance range of Zuo Lengchan and the Songshan faction, and the harvest is tempting enough!

The fly in the ointment is that the first is that his left alliance leader failed to take advantage of the battle with the demon sect director and is still faintly at a disadvantage; the second is to give his rival Yue Buqun the opportunity to show his might to rival the demon sect leader, and sit firmly in the position of the deputy alliance leader of the five mountains, and in the future, I am afraid that there will be many constraints in the internal affairs of the five mountains.

As far as Yue Buqun is concerned, his goals and interests are similar to Zuo Lengchan's, so the cooperation between the two is also relatively pleasant. Of course, these things outside the body are not very much in the eyes of Yue Buqun, and the reason why he actively participated in this matter and took the initiative to unite with Zuo Lengchan to launch and guide the offensive against the Demon Sect was that in addition to wanting to confront masters such as Ren Wu Xing and Dongfang Fan to confirm and improve his martial arts, there was also an important reason why he had never shown or said that he was outside the "country"!

God is pitiful, in the past hundred years, most of the fierce battles between Wuyue and the Demon Sect have been fought in Huashan!

Yue Buqun is not one of those "stupid and lacking in a sense of justice" in Huashan in the past dynasties, who used his old nest as a battlefield when he had nothing to do, and what else did he do to eliminate demons and defend the way without being informal? He had no sense of strategy at all! After being nurtured by the red education and the information explosion, Yue Buqun did not know how to start a war on his own territory, regardless of whether he fought or lost, was self-abuse, and even if he won, the gains often outweigh the losses.

In his mind, even if he and Zuo Lengchan didn't attack Heimu Cliff, they would come to attack Wuyue sooner or later. Since this battle is inevitable, then he and Zuo Lengchan should take the initiative and gather the strength of Wuyue to directly attack the Demon Sect's Black Wood Cliff, and it is wise to choose the battlefield on the territory of the Demon Sect. Otherwise, if Wuyue sat back and waited for the Demon Sect to attack, then Ren Xing would definitely not choose to attack Songshan, which was dominated by Shaolin, but would follow the old routine of the Demon Sect and directly attack Huashan, forcing the other four factions of Wuyue to come to support! At that time, the foundation of Huashan will inevitably lose most of its half in the melee, or even destroy it completely, just like decades ago, Huashan trapped the ten elders of the Demon Sect, almost wiped out the high-level of the Demon Sect, but still caused a large number of their own swordsmanship to be lost. This kind of stupid thing of killing 3,000 enemies and losing 10,000 yourself, Yue Buqun will definitely not do it!

Fortunately, this confrontation between good and evil was generally carried out according to a script that was extremely beneficial to Yue Buqun. The only unexpected thing was that he was greedy for a while, and changed the second half of the Star Absorbing Da* Method to Ren Xing, so that Ren Wuxing's skills increased dramatically, crushing him to death in the hand, and almost sucking him into a human being. Although in the end, he was blessed by misfortune and also made great progress, but when he remembered the danger that he had never experienced at that time, he couldn't help but feel palpitations.

Because of the heavy casualties among the middle and lower-class disciples, the people of Wuyue did not retreat too far, but only withdrew from the more dangerous dense forest, and camped next to a flat stream, caring for the wounded and disposing of the corpses.

Although he didn't take the loss of his swordsmen very seriously, Yue Buqun still showed a model of being close to the people, visiting the wounded one by one, sending warmth and blessings...... Of course, you don't have to dress the wound yourself. Thanks to foresight, as early as last year, Yue Buqun had asked Feng Buping to arrange for Lao Langzhong to teach the knife hands some simple and reasonable healing and dressing techniques. Baiyun Bear Bile Pill (taken internally), but the number is enough for everyone to be injured ten times, and even the sterilized spirits and nutritional honey are also brought a lot, he only needs to arrange for the uninjured people to set up the cauldron as soon as possible, and boil some hot water and gauze!

When the nuns of the Hengshan faction finished dealing with their injuries and set aside some of their men to help the Huashan faction heal their wounds, they saw that all the wounded in Huashan had been bandaged, drank honey, and were resting quietly, and they were surprised for a while - the Hengshan faction, the Songshan faction, and the Taishan faction were still in a chaotic wail!

Of course, Yue Buqun had already heard the names of Hengshan elixir Tianxiang Intermittent Gum, Baiyun Bear Gall Pill, and took this opportunity to ask for some confidently, which saved the embarrassment of the nuns.

Zuo Lengchan and other leaders may have felt that it was difficult to deal with the disabled living, but Yue Buqun felt that the most troublesome thing was the dead -- the five factions combined had 200 corpses! In this era of feudal peace, it was important to pay attention to the scenery of large-scale burials and burials, and cremation was still a taboo; unless a plague broke out, no one dared to burn the corpses, and even after the two armies fought, the dead bodies of the enemy were buried with great difficulty, and the corpses of their own people were sent back to their hometowns for burial.

Yue Buqun didn't care about the money to buy the coffin, but he cared about the time and energy it took to send these forty or fifty coffins back to Guanzhong from Hebei!

In desperation, Yue Buqun had no choice but to leave these trivial matters to Feng Buping to be responsible, and he himself went to discuss the matters of the palace with Zuo Lengchan in the name of the palace.

Don't think that after Zuo Lengchan, Yue Buqun and Ren Wuxing verbally announced the boycott of the war, Wuyue would be able to sit back and relax, and they could enjoy a good ride on the way back to the mountain!

On the way back, the two of them had to carefully check whether there was an ambush, and every time they passed through the checkpoint, they had to leave light and dark sentinels to keep an eye on whether the main force of the Demon Sect was secretly pursuing; every time they camped in the wild, they had to carefully choose an open place that was not easy to be attacked by fire and water, but they could not be too far away from the water source, and the water source should not be too small, otherwise they might be poisoned; every time they entered the city to stay, they had to greet the government, pay attention to food safety, and at the same time, they should also restrain their men, and they could not cause trouble at will; every time they crossed the river by boat, they had to arrange for people with good water quality to pay attention to the underwater, otherwise the bottom of the boat would be scuttled by someone, Mount TaiMost of the disciples of Songshan, Hengshan, and Huashan are landlubbers from the north, and once they fall into the water, they will die properly......

This is not unfounded, but the experience of the martial arts predecessors in exchange for blood, the most recent case is that the ancestors of Huashan used the stone cave of the cliff to trap the ten elders of the Demon Sect, of course, because of the age, the secrecy measures are also good, and very few people still remember this matter.

History tells us never to overestimate the character of your enemies, even though they are hundreds of years old!

It is true that Zuo Lengchan and Yue Buqun are well-established Jianghu people, but they can by no means be regarded as "reckless," and their opponents are by no means "reckless," and their opponents are by no means fans of the East! The cultural level of the four may be high or low, but they are all qualified leaders, or qualified tacticians and conspirators, and they will never hesitate to use the most despicable and sinister minds to figure out the thoughts and actions of their opponents, and then take corresponding precautions.

In comparison, the predecessors of the six major factions who besieged Guangming Ding more than a hundred years ago can be dwarfed. Judging from the performance at that time, the Shaolin abbot was empty -- more than calm but not enough to change; Song Yuanqiao, the head of Wudang, -- was a righteous gentleman, peaceful and a little pedantic; the head of Emei was extinct -- he was stubborn and self-serving, his heart was ruthless and poisonous enough, but he was never deep enough, he was stubborn and did not know how to be flexible; the five elders of Kongtong -- reckless puppeteer; He Taichong, the head of Kunlun -- cowardly and incompetent; and the head of Huashan were rarely familiar -- These people, if they are only a warrior in the rivers and lakes, they still have their own characteristics, but if they are the heads of a faction, and they are also the heads of a big faction in the troubled times at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, they are not a qualified leader, a qualified politician, not to mention that the general pattern is too small, the adaptability is too poor, and the organizational ability is even worse, look at their behavior and ending after the light is topped...... Tsk, just came down from the old enemy's lair, and immediately went their separate ways, not afraid of being killed by the Ming Sect, and each one broke the ?...... I didn't even send a horse to explore the horse all the way, and I was not afraid of being ambushed?...... Camping does not choose a place that is easy to defend and difficult to attack, not afraid of water and fire, and there is no master to watch the night, how can there be a sense of security?...... The diet is even more careless, you should pay attention to hygiene, and be careful not to accept the soil?...... Even if it is the big boss behind the scenes, Cheng Kun, who played Mingjiao and the six major factions in applause, can be said to be brave and strategic, and the city government is very deep, Yue Buqun may be ashamed of himself, but let me go, Dongfang Fan, and Zuo Lengchan may not be convinced, who has stronger scheming, more ruthless means, and deeper scheming, and it is really necessary to compare to know. Moreover, even today's Shaolin Fangzheng and Wudang Chongxu have much more connotation than their predecessors.

This made Yue Buqun have to sigh, throughout the ages, the martial arts level of people in the martial arts may be constantly regressing, but the scheming methods are still improving, and the water in the rivers and lakes is really getting deeper and deeper!

In such a gangster who has implemented political schemes, and as the head of a faction, it is really not easy, the body is tired, and the heart is even more tired!
