"Teacher, what do you mean?" Seeing Zhuge Yuan-hong's expression, Teng Qingshan was slightly puzzled. Suddenly, he thought of something and said, "Teacher, are you worried about the Heavenly God Palace?"
The Heavenly God Palace had always been ambitious and wanted to attack Yangzhou.
"No!"
Zhuge Yuan-hong smiled confidently and said, "Qingshan, the Heavenly God Palace is not a fool. Now, even the Undying Phoenix is on Qingshan's side. Even Emperor Yu's Hall suffered a great loss … The Heavenly God Palace will not be so unwise! After all, the Heavenly God Palace does not have a demonic beast that can surpass the Undying Phoenix in speed. They can't even surpass the Bladelike Chi in drilling. "
"If they fight to the death with us, it will be very disadvantageous for the Heavenly God Palace," Zhuge Yuan-hong said with certainty.
Teng Qingshan nodded. He thought so too.
However …
Then why does Teacher seem to have doubts about attacking the seven counties in the south?
Zhuge Yuan-hong smiled and said, "Qingshan, the Gui Yuan Sect does have the upper hand now! However, don't forget that the south is different from the north. Qing Hu Island was originally in the south of Yangzhou. Among the six counties in the north of Yangzhou, Jiangning County belongs to the Gui Yuan Sect, and Chu County belongs to Tie Yi Hall. Xuyang County and Tiannan County were not united back then. Four out of the six counties in the north are like this. It can be seen that Qing Hu Island's control over the north is weak. "
Teng Qingshan nodded.
"However, Qing Hu Island is deeply rooted in the seven counties in the south of Yangzhou."
"We can't use the method of attacking the five counties in the north against these seven counties in the south," Zhuge Yuan-hong said solemnly.
"Teacher, what's your plan?" Teng Qingshan asked.
"Advance step by step!"
A fierce glint flashed in Zhuge Yuan-hong's eyes. "With the Long Gang Guards as the main force and the men of the Tai Ah Mountain Range as support. Take down one or two counties in one go. Then … carry out a purge, a bloody purge! Anyone who rebelled or colluded with the enemy would be captured and sent to work as laborers for the rest of their lives, or their entire families would be executed! "
"No mercy!" Zhuge Yuan-hong's voice startled Teng Qingshan.
He understood what his master meant. Once his master gave the order, thousands of heads would fall!
However —
That was the way to fight for hegemony! This was especially true for the Gui Yuan Sect. When they were at a disadvantage in terms of manpower, they could not be merciful. Otherwise, it would only leave behind a huge problem.
"If we, the Gui Yuan Sect, want to build a foundation that will last for a thousand years. Now, we can't show mercy. "Zhuge Yuanhong said coldly," We can only be ruthless now and eliminate all the sprouts. Only then will there be fewer deaths in the future. "
"Mm." Teng Qingshan nodded.
Because of Zhuge Yuan-hong's order, the ancient families of Qing Hu Island faced a disaster!
*****
6th of November.
The ten thousand soldiers of the Long Gang Army, who had rested for four to five days, embarked on the journey to the south in the early morning of this day, under the escort of thousands of people from the Gui Yuan Sect! Accompanying the army was the Dreamy Cloud Martial Immortal, Mu Tao. After all … Teng Qingshan was also worried that the Blind Swordmaster would suddenly appear and slaughter the Long Gang Army. With Mu Tao there, Teng Qingshan was also at ease.
Although the Dreamy Cloud Martial Immortal, Mu Tao, could only control ninety percent of the Power of the Heavens and Earth, he was the descendant of Duanmu Continent's most powerful expert, Duanmu Yu. What he learned was the Divine Codex, Nine Thunder Blade Scrolls. With ninety percent of the Power of the Heavens and Earth, he could exert nearly one hundred and ten percent of the Power of the Heavens and Earth!
Instead, he could suppress the Blind Swordmaster!
"Qingshan."
On top of the eastern city wall of Jiangning County, Zhuge Yuan-hong and Zhuge Yuan-hong fought side by side, watching the long line of Long Gang Army soldiers leave quickly. "How are the preparations at the Tai Ah Mountain Range?"
"My disciple, Yang Dong, is assisted by the demonic beast Whole Gale Eagle. Plus, the Innate Warrior Cavalry! He easily intimidated the leaders of the few big gangs in the Tai Ah Mountain Range. " Teng Qingshan said with a smile. In the face of the Innate Realm demonic beast and the Innate Warrior Cavalry, the bandits indeed had no ability to resist. "Plus, our Gui Yuan Sect has promised them! These bandits were all very excited. How can being a bandit leader compare to being a city lord? "
First, they threatened them with force!
Next, they lured them with high positions and generous salaries. None of those bandit leaders were fools. The three most powerful sects immediately agreed to it. These three gangs, along with the Xiong Shou Gang, had joined forces. The other small gangs naturally didn't dare to go against the wishes of the Xiong Shou Gang. Anyone who dared to go against the Xiong Shou Gang would be easily killed by the five hundred Innate Warrior Cavalry of the Xiong Shou Gang.
"With my disciple, the Xiong Shou Gang, and the three big gangs, the most elite bandits have an army of two hundred thousand.
"As for the scattered bandits of the other small gangs, they don't have much military discipline, but their numbers are quite large, more than five hundred thousand." Teng Qingshan shook his head and said, "Although their numbers are large, it's just a messy pile. It's impossible to rely on them to fight a war. But the Xiong Shou Gang and the three big gangs have gathered an army of two hundred thousand, which is quite strong. "
Teng Qingshan had been to the Tai Ah Mountain Range several times and had seen the habits of the bandits.
The three big gangs, like the Nine Wolf Gang, had existed for more than a hundred years, and they all understood the importance of military discipline. But those small gangs flourished today and were destroyed tomorrow. Where would they have the time to train military discipline?
"Enough."
Zhuge Yuan-hong smiled and nodded. "How about this, according to the plan, first let the Long Gang Army take down Nanxing County and Mengfeng County in one go. Then let the Xiong Shou Gang's army of two hundred thousand soldiers be stationed in each county. He would turn the two counties upside down! As long as there's a threat, the hidden troops will all be eliminated! If it can't be solved, let the Long Gang Army help solve it!
"As for the scattered five hundred thousand bandits … don't bother with them." Zhuge Yuanhong shook his head and said, "Those five hundred thousand bandits are from various gangs of various sizes. Once they are sent to search and purge the various places, they will not be able to escape. I'm afraid it will incur the wrath of the heavens and the resentment of the people. "
Zhuge Yuan-hong knew that troops without military discipline would only cause trouble.
…
On the official road next to the Tai Ah Mountain Range, there were countless bandits and bandits. Some were carrying bags, some were carrying women, some were riding on horses, and some were wearing armor. There were even quite a few bandits with children. In short, countless bandits and bandits packed up their belongings and prepared to leave the Tai Ah Mountain Range.
"Haha, big brother, second brother, third brother."
Yang Dong wore a suit of Fiery Gilt Battle Armor and rode on a Cyan Mane Treading on Snow Horse. He seemed to be very majestic. "Now that all my subordinates have gathered, from today onward, we're no longer bandits and bandits. We're the City Guards!"
"Haha, Fourth Brother, well said. I, Tong Tiedao, will also become a City Lord one day. Haha. " A bald, brawny man with only one ear was wearing a suit of Fire Feather Battle Armor, but he didn't wear a helmet. "Back then, when I went to the city, that guy surnamed Wang was so arrogant. If I hadn't escaped back to the mountains, I would have been finished off by that guy's army. Today, let's also go find that guy surnamed Wang. "
"Second Brother, well said."
"Second Brother, when the time comes, we'll skin that guy surnamed Wang alive in front of all our brothers. We'll help you vent your anger," a seemingly very scholarly middle-aged man said with a smile.
"Three Brothers." Yang Dong smiled. "It's getting late. We should set off."
"Alright, let's go!"
After the leaders of the four great gangs of the Tai Ah Mountain Range gave the order, they left the Tai Ah Mountain Range in a grandiose manner. From today onward, these two hundred thousand people were no longer bandits and bandits. They had turned over and become City Guards. In fact, many people were forced to become bandits because they had no other choice but to become bandits and bandits. If they had a good life, who would be willing to lick blood from the blade's edge?
*****
At dawn on the eighth day of the eleventh month, the ten thousand soldiers of the Long Gang Guard arrived at the city of Nanxing County, once again displaying their terrifying strength. Each and every one of the Long Gang Guard's soldiers leaped ten Zhang high and more than ten Zhang away. Each and every one of them possessed extraordinary strength! Most of them were only third-rate martial artists, and even the ordinary soldiers and guards who hadn't entered the ranks of third-rate martial artists were simply unable to resist in front of the Long Gang Guard's soldiers.
In the time it took to brew a cup of tea …
The Nanxing County City had been captured!
Speaking of which, it was strange. There weren't many people defending the Nanxing County City. There were only several tens of thousands of ordinary soldiers and guards.
After conquering Nanxing County, the soldiers of the Long Gang Guards stationed themselves in Nanxing County City and didn't leave. Ten days later, a majestic bandit army with Yang Dong as the leader arrived at Nanxing County City. The bandit army consisted of a hundred thousand people. Only then did the Long Gang Guard leave and continue to advance in the southwest direction, charging toward another county city — Mengfeng County!
On the twenty-first day of the eleventh month, the Long Gang Guard captured the Mengfeng County!
Another bandit army of one hundred thousand people was stationed in the Mengfeng County.
Then …
With the army of two hundred thousand ferocious beasts as support. The troops of the Gui Yuan Sect, mainly composed of ten thousand Long Gang Guards, began a bloody purge in the land of these two counties. For a time, some troops hidden in the mountain villages, or a small number of elite troops hidden in the city, were discovered one by one. Nanxing County and Mengfeng County set off a bloody storm!
Tens of thousands of heads were chopped off! A large number of people who rebelled were directly captured and sent to be forced laborers for a lifetime!
… …
Yangzhou, in that quiet mansion in Lu City. At dusk.
A blind man dressed in black was listening to the Island Lord, Tie Pan, narrate what had happened these past few days.
"After capturing Nanxing County and Mengfeng County. The Long Gang Guard, as well as the army of two hundred thousand that suddenly appeared, actually began to ceaselessly investigate the land of the two counties, as well as a bloody purge. Now, we have tens of thousands of troops hidden. They have either been killed or captured. Now, on the land of the two counties, there are less than a thousand people of our Qing Hu Island left! "Tie Pan's voice was low.
"An army of two hundred thousand? Where did they come from? "The blind man dressed in black said sternly.
Everything was different from what he had planned!
Qing Hu Island originally didn't want to fight head-on with the Gui Yuan Sect. There was no army that could fight head-on with the Long Gang Guard and the Undying Phoenix!
No matter how many people there were, the flames of the Undying Phoenix could burn and collapse the army. The Long Gang Guard could kill until the army was terrified.
Therefore —
In Qing Hu Island's plan, they were prepared to rely on their advantages and deep-rooted networks of connections to arrange a large number of people. Using insidious methods such as poison to deal with the Long Gang Guard! In their opinion, after occupying the five counties in the north, the Gui Yuan Sect wouldn't have the manpower to purge the counties in the south. Therefore, the plan would definitely succeed!
Unfortunately …
An army of two hundred thousand appeared! Moreover, the Gui Yuan Sect was extremely cautious and not greedy. Instead, they first occupied Nanxing County and Mengfeng County. They began to 'purge' them frantically.
"Advancing step by step!"
The blind man dressed in black said in a low voice, "This Gui Yuan Sect is advancing step by step. Step by step, they want to gradually nibble away at our seven counties in the south. Now they're nibbling away at two counties. When Nanxing County and Mengfeng County are under control. Nibbling away at two more counties … If this goes on … "
"We can't go on like this!" Tie Pan couldn't help but say.
