Chapter 266: The Man Behind It
"Things may not be as simple as they seem. Ye Guan frowned slightly, and said softly: "Shen Tuyan will do more harm than good by doing this, if he is not completely sure that he can resist the attack, he will definitely not do this." ”
Hearing Ye Guan's words, Huang Yongning also fell into deep thought, along the way, what Shen Tuyan did was a bit contrary to common sense. If it is said that he forcibly recruited the people into the army before, in order to besiege the rest of his life, then the people of Wacheng will be slaughtered later, except for causing some gossip and accidents to the Dongwang Mansion, and it will not constitute a direct threat, but Shen Tuyan really did this, which has to be thought-provoking.
"Brother Yu, before, this Shen Tuyan has been following you?" Huang Yongning thought for a moment and confirmed to Yu Sheng again.
"I should have followed it all the time. Yu Sheng replied: "The battle of Changxiang City was fierce, I used all means to spit out the encirclement and severely damaged Shen Tuyan's troops, at that time, I didn't know that Wufeng City had surrendered, Shen Tuyan would definitely chase after it." ”
Huang Yongning nodded slightly, he suddenly thought about what he expected, turned his head to look at Ye Guan, and Ye Guan also looked at him at the same time.
The two of them saw a trace of doubt in each other's eyes.
"Could it be ......" Huang Yongning thought of a possibility that he was very reluctant to accept.
"Now that I analyze, this may be the case. Ye Guan sighed lightly and said helplessly: "Why did Tianqing City choose to go to Wufeng City at this time to arrange the formation, this may be to inform us of some things in a vague way. ”
When Yu Sheng heard this, he was slightly stunned, in his impression, a city as transcendent as Tianqing City would not participate in the secular hegemony, let alone directly warn.
"When I went to Tianqing City before, I had some analysis. Ye Guan continued: "The city lord of Tianqing City may have an opponent of the same level as him, and this person is likely to be related to Shen Tuyan. There have always been incidents of people pretending to be Dongwangfu in the enclave, and they may be inseparable from this person. ”
"Ye senior. Yu Sheng was a little surprised in his heart, he understood what Ye Guan meant, but he still didn't believe it in his heart, he didn't think that Venerable-level monks would be interested in secular hegemony, for their long lifespan, a dynasty could not bring them anything, besides, establishing a dynasty or empire would undoubtedly involve a lot of troublesome matters, which would affect their cultivation for a Venerable.
"What do you mean is that the opponent of the Tianqing City Lord has come out to deal with our Dongwang Mansion? What good is it for him to do so? If he wants to be the lord of this enclave, he still needs to go to such great lengths?"
Yu Sheng spoke out the doubts in his heart, for Venerable level monks, everything in the world is already very little attractive to them, in their eyes, the most important thing is nothing more than two points, one is the land where the power of nature is abundant, which can be used for daily cultivation, and the other is to seek the opportunity to break through the ethereal supreme realm, in order to obtain greater power and a longer longevity, so as to explore the secrets of the world.
A dynasty or empire is often unable to satisfy them. First of all, a place where the power of nature is abundant, it is often necessary to arrange the Gathering Source Array, such a formation is not something that ordinary monks can arrange, even if it is arranged, for Venerable-level monks, the gathering of natural power is also a drop in the bucket. Secondly, in the process of building an empire, troublesome trivial matters will inevitably drag down the Venerable Being's cultivation, which will not only not help them make a breakthrough in their cultivation, but may cause their cultivation to stagnate.
This is also one of the reasons why most monks who have advanced cultivation are reluctant to meddle in mundane trivial matters, because cultivators pay attention to cause and effect, and the more mundane things they come into contact with, the more cause and effect they will naturally be involved, and this is not beneficial to the great power of pursuing advanced cultivation.
However, within the enclave, there is already a Tianqing City, and within a radius of thousands of miles, there is no place where the concentration of natural power can compare to the Heavenly Qing City, let alone the enclave.
If it is not good for cultivation, then there is basically no such thing that the Venerable of Tianqing City can do.
This is something that I have been unable to figure out for the rest of my life.
In Tianqing City before, Yu Sheng and Ye Guan both guessed that Tian Shun, the lord of Tianqing City, might have an opponent of the same level, and this person was likely to have descendants serving in the enclave.
Therefore, Ye Guancai said that he had reached some kind of tacit agreement with the Tianqing City Lord, the Dongwang Mansion was responsible for collecting the enclave, and the Tianqing City Lord was responsible for balancing the Venerable Power, and did not let him interfere directly.
But now Ye Guan and Huang Yongning began to suspect that there was a Venerable Power behind Shen Tuyan, and these things that Shen Tuyan did were likely to have a lot to do with the Venerable behind him, which made the rest of his life a little confused.
"I don't want to think about it that way. Ye Guan looked at the rest of his life and said softly: "But remove all the impossibilities, and the rest is the only possibility." City Lord Yu, you have fought Shen Tuyan head-on, and you should know very well in your heart that how the troops under Shen Tuyan compare to my Eastern Palace?"
"Naturally, it's not as good as my black armor iron horse. Yu Sheng said: "I can hold an empty city for a few days with a few thousand soldiers, and I will know a thing or two." ”
Ye Guan frowned slightly, and said softly: "Before, I have always felt that the proportion of battle losses in battles is a bit exaggerated, my Dongwangfu is a hundred battle lions, but it is a bit exaggerated to compete head-on with the elite troops of the enclave, and it can actually have the combat power of one as ten." ”
Hearing Ye Guan say this, Yu Sheng couldn't help but feel a little unhappy in his heart, and said: "Senior Ye suspects me of lying about the military situation? In the battle of Changxiang City, all the sergeants under me did their best, so that they could achieve such a result, the battle was fierce, my own escort team was killed and wounded six dead and one wounded, and in the end only surveyed and broke through the encirclement, what did Ye senior mean, the sacrifices they made were all in vain?"
Yu Sheng's words were a little polite, the battle in Changxiang City was very tragic, Huang Yuchen was seriously injured and dying, and now Ye Guan actually began to suspect the battle loss ratio, which made Yu Sheng's heart very uncomfortable.
"City Lord Yu is too worried, I don't mean that. Ye glanced at Yu Sheng and continued: "The authorities are confused, Yu City Lord think about it from the perspective of others, tens of thousands of soldiers are besieging a lonely city, the city walls are short and even in disrepair, and they have several times the strength of the other party, if you lead the team from Yu City Lord, how to fight this siege battle?"
"Siege to the death, siege equipment bombardment the city wall, when the city is broken......" Yu Sheng followed Ye Guan's question and said a few words, and suddenly felt that something was not quite right, and couldn't help frowning slightly, and stopped talking.
Ye looked at Yu Sheng's appearance and continued: "What Yu City Lord said is right, if according to the normal siege method, your strategy is obviously the most practical, with several times the opponent's troops, enough equipment, and sufficient food and grass, you only need to besiege the other party, eat away at the city wall, and when the city is broken, you can wipe out the enemy in one fell swoop, but Shen Tuyan didn't do this, Yu City Lord, don't you think there is anything strange about this?"
Yu Sheng heard Ye Guan's words, his brows furrowed, when he fought in Changxiang City before, he felt that the way the other party's generals attacked the city was not quite right, but at that time, he only felt that the other party was consuming his own vitality, so he didn't think much about it, just saw the move, and finally used the formation arranged by Huang Yuchen to break through the encirclement in one fell swoop. And today, after Ye Guan said this, he suddenly had an idea in his heart, but this idea seemed to be a bit fantastical, which made him not believe it.
"Senior Ye, what do you mean......" Huang Yongning has been listening quietly on the side, and he has been thinking about it in his heart, Ye Guan has said that the matter has come to this point, and an answer naturally appeared in his heart, but when he thought of this answer, he was a little shocked in his heart.
"There are thousands of ways to cultivate Douqi, not only the cultivation method, but also the attributes of Douqi, I don't know how many kinds of attributes of Douqi, Venerable Da can not value power and status, but there is one thing that they absolutely value, and even regard it as life. Ye Guan's eyes burst out with a gleam, and he said word by word: "Cultivation." ”
When Ye Guan said this, Yu Sheng and Huang Yongning thought of one thing in their hearts.
Dead air.
Only by cultivating death qi can a large number of newly deceased people be needed, and with the aura emitted by the dead people, through special methods, they can refine death qi.
If this person who cultivates death qi has reached the Venerable level, then every time he cultivates and condenses death qi, he needs to slaughter a huge amount of living beings.
Yu Sheng and Huang Yongning's eyes were full of shock.
Ye Guan's meaning was already very clear, Shen Tuyan and Yu Sheng confronted each other and attacked each other, the purpose was not to kill Yu Sheng's department, but to strive to create more dead corpses to the greatest extent, so as to gather dead energy.
In other words, that is the person behind Shen Tuyan, who cultivates death qi.
If this is the case, then the messages about the Dongwangfu in the enclave, as well as the frequent incidents of killing the people, as well as the previous battle of Changxiang City, and the later massacre of Wacheng City, have all been explained.
This great power behind Shen Tuyan is a supreme master of cultivating death qi, and he may now have reached the critical moment of breaking through, and he needs a lot of death qi.
Thus, after planning, the war between the enclave and the Eastern Prince's Mansion was promoted. At any given time, daily killings are far less dead and wounded than a war. Through the mutual attack between the enclave and the Eastern Palace, and with Shen Tuyan in it, everything has been explained.
"When Shen Tuyan confronted the Yu City Lord, he forcibly conscripted the people to the battlefield, knowing that they would not be of any use, and kept forcibly recruiting them, which was simply letting them go to death. Ye Guan said softly: "Not to mention the difficulty of forcibly recruiting the people, just with the normal weapons and equipment that these civilian soldiers need, it is not a small amount, even for Shen Tuyan, it is not something that can be taken casually." Even so, he still did it, which shows that Shen Tuyan is not competing with the Dongwang Mansion for his own selfish interests, behind him, there must be a master of refining death qi, and this master must also have something to do with Tianqing City. ”
Speaking of this, Ye Guan's eyes flashed with essence.
