Soldiers

In Mubei and Annan County, in the majestic and vast hall of conferences, high-level officials from all walks of life gathered. In the main seat, three demon clans were commanding and sitting upright.

Yunfei, the colorful peacock king in the middle, took the lead and said: "I'm sorry, you were invited to participate in this discussion in your busy schedule. All of you are old friends here. I won't say much about your polite opening remarks. Now Qingzhou has just experienced civil strife and all parties have suffered heavy casualties. It is the time when its defense is the most empty. We all agree that this is a good opportunity for us to advance. What do you think?"

Seeing that no one answered, the lion on the left side had a wide nose and a burly golden-eyed griffin king Konglin said again: "When Qingzhou was in the chaos, we wanted to take advantage of the chaos to advance to Qingzhou. Friends of Taoism thought that it was not a good opportunity at that time. If they attacked, they would be together, and if they were tolerated, they would be even more divided. Therefore, they chose to sit in the mountains and watch the tiger fight."

"Now that the civil strife in Qingzhou has ended, the three major forces of Qingzhou's defense forces, the Xuanmen led by Taixuan Sect, the aristocratic families controlled by the Jiang family and the Nether Sea organization were all killed and injured, and their combat power was greatly damaged."

"The top Xuanmen in the six counties in Qingzhou are three of the six counties, and the six families in each county are two of the six families. The high-level combat power of Taixuan Sect, Jiang family and the Nether Sea organization are all very casualties."

"It can be said that Qingzhou's defense forces have never been so weak. If we don't take advantage of this army and miss this thousand-year opportunity, how can we regret it? After a thousand years, the forces of Qingzhou will slowly recover. At that time, we will be even more helpless when facing the prosperous Qingzhou."

"Fellow Daoist Tao, last time we were talking about the army in Qingzhou, you said that instead of taking advantage of the chaos to advance, they would let them kill each other and consume their own strength. Now the civil strife in Qingzhou has been quelled, and the vitality of all forces in Qingzhou has been severely damaged. Do you agree to march?"

The middle-aged man below saw him looking at him and said, "This is indeed a great opportunity to advance to Qingzhou. I agree to raise troops to attack Qingzhou, but before we advance, we need to be prepared and we cannot rashly assemble the army to move south."

"It's the points I mentioned last time. First, what is the attitude of the business alliance that we need to consider."

"Second, will the Allies in Liangzhou and Tiannan launch a counterattack with us? We must ensure that they restrain the power of other prefectures and counties before we can attack Qingzhou."

A large stack of letters came out from the hand of the Qingjiao King Xuanzhen, who was sitting upright on the right side of the main seat: "I know that you are concerned about the alliance army in Liangzhou and Tiannan, we have already sent people to agree on the advance period with them. This is the letter that the alliance army in Liangzhou and Tiannan has replied over the years. Please read it yourself!"

"The Liangzhou Allied Army has long wanted to launch a large-scale counterattack on Liangzhou. In recent years, people have been sent to Mubei to make an appointment with us to make an uprising. Because the civil strife in Qingzhou has not yet been decided, we follow the wishes of fellow Taoists and wait until both parties in Qingzhou are in trouble before entering Qingzhou. Therefore, they have been politely apart many times and advised them to wait patiently for a while."

"A few days ago, Liangzhou sent another envoy to invite us to attack the inland. The people are here. With just one word from us, the Liangzhou Allied Army will immediately march into Liangzhou."

"As for the allies in Tiannan, they have agreed with the Liangzhou Allies. As long as we rise up and march into Qingzhou, they will also counterattack and regain the counties and counties that were captured by Shangqing Zong and Jingzhou Xuanmen."

While Xuan Zhen was speaking, a servant who was serving in the side had already distributed the letter to the people in the hall.

"Since there is an envoy of the Alliance Army in Liangzhou, why not ask him to come and talk to you? We can also understand the wishes of the Alliance Army in Liangzhou." The old man with white hair below said.

"Okay, go and invite the envoy from Liangzhou."

"Yes." A servant followed the sound and soon brought a man looking at the scattered mouse.

"My younger brother, Fatian, pays homage to all seniors." The man stepped forward and bowed to the three demon kings in the main position.

Xuan Zhen said, "Fatian, we are discussing the strategy of advancing Qingzhou. Several fellow Taoists want to hear what the Liangzhou Allied Army thinks about this."

"Since the last retreat, the alliance of our headquarters has been preparing for war in recent years. We have long been enterprising Liangzhou. We are afraid that the Xuanmen and aristocratic families of other prefectures and counties will rush to help, so we have never taken action. As long as the alliance army of your headquarters gives orders, one million people will be able to go to the front line of Liangzhou and take straight to Hanoi County."

Kong Lin said: "You fellow Taoists have heard it! The Liangzhou Allied Army has been ready to take Liangzhou long ago, and the Tiannan Allied Army has also agreed to counterattack in response to the period. We don't have to worry about our enterprising Qingzhou, and other prefectures and counties will support us."

"What about the attitude of the Shang Alliance? Will they support the four major mythological gates just like last time?"

"Even if the Shang League supports the four major Xuanmen, its strength is very limited. At most, it can be provided with some financial and material support. It can be seen in the last war. Although the Shang League sent people to the front line, they actually did not work hard. It was even rumored that they had friction with the Xuanmen for a while. The main force in Qingzhou is the Taixuan Sect, the Jiang family, and the Nether Sea. Now they have greatly damaged their vitality, which is a good time for us to advance."

"Fellow Daoist Fatian, I wonder which clan you belong to? Any position in the Liangzhou Alliance Army?"

"The younger generation is under the command of the Leimao Rat King and serves as the deputy head of Longxi County, Liangzhou. This time, under the order of the alliance army of the headquarters, we sent the headquarters a secret letter to Mubei to make an appointment with your headquarters to initiate an uprising."

"Your division has four counties, Liangzhou, Yizhou, Bingzhou and Youzhou, and has half of the southwest wall of the world, with a vast land and a vast territory. Is it still not satisfied? Why do you have to cause trouble again and again? Your division will face the strong resistance of the Daode Sect and the Yuxu Sect. With the strength of your division, how likely will it be to win?"

Fa Tiandao: "Young Master, I don't agree with this. We are mortal enemies with Xuanmen. If we don't destroy them today, they will destroy us in the future. When we attack Liangzhou, it is actually an attack. Isn't it a kind of defense? Instead of waiting for them to recover and attack us after they are strong, it is better to take the lead in attacking them when they are weak."

"There is no one in the world who can live in one territory for a long time. Mubei has been safe for so many years, not through peace talks, but through force, making Qingzhou afraid. If your subordinate did not rebellion at the beginning, regained the three counties of Mubei and completely controlled Mubei, how could he have peace today?"

"Please forgive me for saying that the performance of the Mubei Alliance Army was really unsatisfactory. We made an appointment with your troops and the Tiannan Alliance Army to fight together. We took Liang and Yizhou and your troops to take Mubei. It was obvious that the results of the battle were fruitful. However, the Guizhou Army was timid and had no fighting spirit."

"Now, among the four major Xuanmen, Taixuan Sect is the weakest."

"The Qingzhou forces were severely damaged by the civil war. Such a great opportunity would not be let go of anyone with a little vision and ambition, but your troops remained silent and looked forward to the front and back."

"Even if the Tiannan Alliance Army lost several counties in Tiannan after being severely damaged by the Shangqing Sect and Jingzhou forces, they were always thinking about counterattacking. If your troops and Tiannan Alliance Army had exchanged roles, they might have already taken Qingzhou."

"Do you have to wait until the Qingzhou forces recover and attack Mubei before you can resist?"

"Okay, okay, okay." Peacock King Yunfei clapped his hands and smiled: "Even a junior of the Liangzhou Allied Army knows that this is a good opportunity for a thousand years. Are you not as good as a junior? Fellow Daoist Wu, fellow Daoist Lu, what do you think?"

"I agree to gather forces to advance to Qingzhou, but I have a request to ask the Liangzhou Allied Army to take the lead in the initiation and conduct military service in Liangzhou. As long as the troops of the Daode Sect and Yuxu Sect are attracted there and we have no worries, we can advance to Qingzhou."

"I agree, and I think people should be sent to negotiate with the Business Alliance. No matter whether they agree or not, as long as we show the sincerity of the peace talks, they will have some luck. Then even if they help and support Qingzhou, they will not do much effort."

Seeing that the two agreed, the Peacock King Yunfei did not ask the others again, and immediately issued an order: "Since you fellow Taoists do not object, I would like to mobilize 100,000 troops from each county within half a year, form ten legions, and gather in Annan County. When the allied forces on the front line of Liangzhou work together, we will immediately raise a large army to Qingzhou."

"Fatian, you will immediately return to the front line of Liangzhou and inform all fellow Taoists of the Liangzhou Allied Army that we will immediately support our troops to attack Qingzhou and restrain the power of Qingzhou and Yanzhou."
