Chapter 292: Lingyun's Situation
The intelligence officer replied, "According to our reconnaissance, of the 30,000 troops, only 10,000 from the Sword Sect's main mountain, and the other 20,000 came from the surrounding forces."
Jiang Ping nodded, "That's right." At present, the cultivator world has set up a golden pill for Liu Jian, and he really has the ability to respond to everything. ”
The intelligence officer added, "Liu Jianli's trip seems to have the intention of establishing authority. Along the way, which sect did not pay tribute, it was punished, and more than ten small and medium-sized sects have been ambushed. And there is a situation that in two days, his team will arrive close to our central foreign faction alliance sect will be Songmen. ”
The muscles in Jiang Ping's cheeks twitched obviously. Huisongmen is an alliance sect in the nature of an office in Kunlun in the central repair area, and it is also a face outside. If Liu Jianli bypasses Huisongmen at that time, it will be fine, but if he really beats Huisongmen, Kunlun's image in the cultivator world will inevitably be greatly reduced.
In the past, the Sword Sect would not dare to argue with Kunlun. But now, the masters of both sides have lost, and Liu Jianli is the only golden pill in the world, and the shape has changed somewhat. At the same time, it happened suddenly, and Kunlun wanted temporary reinforcements, but it might be too late. Not long after Jiang Ping took office, he obviously encountered a difficult problem that was difficult to decide.
"Boss. "If that's the case, I think it's better to let the meeting retreat." ”
Jiang Ping quickly raised his head and looked at the planning elder, with a look of approval in his eyes. Obviously, he just had that in mind. "Elder Planner will give you the reason. ”
Planning elders have always been a characteristic of Kunlun, because of the great power of the sect, in the management of the development of other affiliated sects, the planning institute was designed, and the planning elders are in charge. To a certain extent, the planning elders have a pivotal role in the development of the sect on a par with the head of the sect.
Elder Planning took a deep breath, "If the Sword Sect's trip is only aimed at Lingyun, it won't sweep all the way. He is now going to demonstrate, and the end of the demonstration is to trample under his feet the spiritual clouds that people yearn for and admire. Of course, to achieve this, he could certainly have a better choice of route. However, the route he is choosing now obviously has another purpose, and that is definitely to loosen the door. ”
Elder Planning paused for a moment, "It can even be said that the two goals of his trip, one is to fight against the Huisong Gate through guò to show his toughness against Kunlun and the current strength of the Sword Sect, and to shock the cultivator realm, and the other is to let those who are attached to Lingyun know that Lingyun broke away from the Sword Sect at the beginning and did not end well, and the Sword Sect is the powerful party." Therefore, the small sects he crushed all the way were actually just pawns and foreshadowing to cover up their actions. ”
Jiang Ping nodded, a faint smile in his eyes. "What the elder said was exactly what I thought. The order was given that the entire faction of the Songmen would retreat for a hundred miles to avoid the Sword Sect. ”
However, after saying this, there was a hint of fierceness in his eyes.
............................................................................................................
"Liu Jianli is here. Hou Ruoting sat at the top of the table and looked at Wan Peng opposite.
Now, when Hou Ruoting was managing the affairs of the city, she had already begun to be in the hall of Lingyun City, according to the original head of the house, and she was in the upper position. However, on such an occasion, Wan Peng was not there.
If Wan Peng wants to attend a meeting, she usually chooses to sit at a long table, and she and Wan Peng sit at the top of each other, and the others sit on both sides.
After getting the situation that Jianzong sent troops and Liu Jianli personally led the troops to crush all the way, Hou Ruoting asked people to observe for a while before convening this meeting. The purpose is very simple, they have to analyze Liu Jianli's basic intentions, and then make corresponding response plans.
"At his speed, he will arrive at Lingyun City before the opening ceremony. Wan Peng typed out a map with various red and blue arrows on it. "According to the information I have, Liu Jianli came this time, not necessarily just for Lingyun City. He also wants to stand up. Because in the cultivator world, he is currently only a Jindan cultivator. ”
Hou Ruoting seemed to be asking for advice, "What should we do?"
Wan Peng doesn't seem to want to play the role of a decision-maker in Lingyun City anymore. He had the heart to let Hou Ruoting take on the responsibility of the city lord by herself, and said quietly, "Listen to my senior sister's orders." ”
Hou Ruoting originally wanted to listen to Wan Peng's opinion, but now that Wan Peng said this, she was obviously stunned. But soon, her face regained her usual calmness, "No matter what, the news of the opening ceremony of Lingyun City and the announcement of the refining method of the vaccine pill has been announced, and it cannot be changed, otherwise, Lingyun will face a situation of dishonesty in the world." And Liu Jianli's trip, although the direction is the same as that of Lingyun City, did not propose to crusade against Lingyun City, so we have no enough reason to send troops to meet the enemy. However, if we wait for his troops to come to the city, we will be too late. ”
Hou Ruoting's analysis was reasonable, and Wan Peng did not interject at this time.
Hou Ruoting also projected a map, "According to Liu Jianli's current route, in two days, he will pass through the Songmen of the Central Repair Area of Kunlun. If Liu Jianli marched in the previous way of encountering factions and eating factions, the two would inevitably clash, and they would be outnumbered, and Kunlun might send troops to rescue them. At that time, if there is a conflict between Kunlun and the Sword Sect, it is very likely that a situation will be formed in our favor. Whether we intervene or stand idly by, we have nothing but benefit. ”
"However, if Kunlun allows the Sword Sect to do what it does, then we must be on guard against the Sword Sect. However, the Sword Sect currently has 30,000 troops, and the number is still expanding, and if there is a head-on conflict, Lingyun will not be able to take advantage of anything. Moreover, the closer we get to the clouds, the greater our likely losses. So, my idea is that we send out special strike teams and harass them on the way, on the one hand, to delay their movements, and on the other hand, to weaken their forces. ”
After saying this, Hou Ruoting looked at Wan Peng, as if asking for his opinion. Wan Peng still didn't say anything, deliberately waiting for Hou Ruoting's current staff officers to express their opinions.
There was silence on the field for a while, Hou Ruoting deliberately broke the embarrassment and said, "Let's all talk about our opinions." ”
The director of the Operations Bureau of Lingyun City is a new condensation vein, and he is also at the age of strong blood. He completely followed Hou Ruoting's train of thought and reported a series of squads that could carry out raid and harassment tasks, with a total number of more than three thousand. And his choice of various ambush locations on the map is indeed remarkable, and if Wan Peng is allowed to judge, it is basically the same as him.
After he spoke, other logistics and equipment support departments also put forward corresponding support plans in accordance with this plan. It can be said that from a tactical point of view, Hou Ruoting can already take these people to plan a battle almost perfectly.
But in the end, Wan Peng shook his head and sighed lightly. People knew that Wan Peng must be dissatisfied with this plan, and also understood that he was about to give his opinion at the end, and all of them became stern.
Wan Peng stood up, walked to the map projected by Hou Ruoting, and pointed to the plan of action that everyone had just marked, "It is undeniable that you have planned a perfect battle, and according to your plan, it can indeed have a predetermined effect in weakening the enemy's strength and delaying the enemy's actions. However, you are ignoring our current strategic landscape. ”
Wan Peng took a deep breath, "Actually, in the cultivator realm now, the five major forces coexist, although Lingyun is a new force, but it is also included in these five major forces. At present, the cultivator world is in turmoil, and the Sword Sect is taking the initiative to attack with the power of a golden pill, which is tantamount to a fuse, and it is teasing the nerves of other forces. However, the problem is that he did not target his troops this time. We're just assuming they're coming for us. But what if he retreats halfway? What if he targets Kunlun? We can get some effect when we attack, but ......"
Wan Peng stretched out his voice, "Don't forget, if you send troops to attack and disturb, it will be the war you took the initiative to provoke. The Sword Sect crushed several small sects, and no one in the small sects dared to speak, and the big sects might be disdainful. Including the Huisong Gate, if it is not as I expected, it will inevitably avoid the edge of the Sword Sect and retreat without direct contact with it. However, if we attacked the Sword Sect's troops, this provocation would be a fatal blow to a nascent sect. This will also become the reason why the Sword Sect will point the finger at Lingyun. By that time, the shape will be even worse than it is now. ”
After Wan Peng's words, everyone present had a stern face. Including Hou Ruoting, in fact, the things they have experienced, especially looking at things from a global perspective, are much less than Wan Peng. Wan Peng has been fighting in Jiangxiao for a period of time, and has intervened in the royal war in the demon world, so he naturally sees the overall situation more thoroughly than them.
"What does junior brother mean?" Hou Ruoting still wanted Wan Peng to say the targeted plan, so whenever she had the opportunity, she would ask like this.
Wan Peng didn't seem to want to answer her question, but changed the topic, "I think what we should be most guarded against now is not the Sword Sect's troops, but the Polo Temple." Now, Kunlun and Lingxiao have made it clear that they want to come to our opening ceremony, and have stated that they want to get the formula of the vaccine pill, with a clear purpose. Although the Sword Sect brought troops here, if it really destroyed the opening ceremony, or in other words, destroyed the Lingyun, it would definitely offend the two major sects at the same time, and it would also make everyone in the world feel that he wanted to swallow the formula of the vaccine pill alone. Although Liu Jianli is a Jin Dan, he does not have the courage and strength to be the enemy of the cultivator world. ”
"On the contrary, the Polo Temple has not moved, and this is the most dangerous. Since we rescued Xie Fei and obtained the vaccine pill formula, they had to make their biggest bargaining chips public to the world, which was an infringement on their interests, and their hatred of Lingyun was actually stronger than Liu Jianli. Because, they are hostile because of the overall distribution of forces in the cultivator world, and Liu Jianli is a personal enemy. The public has always been more public than private. What's more,"
Wan Peng paused, "What's more, there are also changes in the Polo Temple, so it shouldn't be so calm." ”
Hou Ruoting nodded while listening, "Senior brother's analysis makes sense. So, aren't we going to take defensive action against the Polo Temple?"
Wan Peng shook his head again, "No." Senior sister, my plan is for me to break away from Lingyun City. ”
Hou Ruoting's face changed obviously, "You left Lingyun City?"
