Gu Yuanda's rebel army rested and reorganized in the middle of the journey. They set up camp and set up hidden sentries everywhere.
Inside a tent, the Spirit Void Manor's leader Chang Linxian, the Guardian Pavilion's leader Cang Feng, and the Delight Mountain's leader Luo Yanzhen were all present. The leaders of the three major sects of the State of Wei were gathered together, discussing in low voices.
The three major sects of the State of Wei existed only in name. The State of Wei was gone, and they couldn't protect the State of Wei. Where would the three major sects of the State of Wei come from?
Their strength didn't allow them to. In the war that wiped out the country, their wings had been cut off. The sects that once obeyed them were either dead, scattered, or ran away.
If they couldn't give them any benefits, they wouldn't have a future with them. Who would listen to them? Only fools would work for the three major sects. Of course, they would run.
Without wings, they couldn't fly. The only way to truly control the power of a country was to control the various sects. Without the cultivation forces that controlled the four directions, they naturally lost the power to control the country.
On the other hand, the strength of the three great sects themselves had been greatly damaged. In the war that destroyed the country, the strength of their own sects had suffered heavy losses. A large number of disciples had been lost, and the number of people left was only about thirty percent of their peak. They had already lost the qualifications to become the three great sects of a country.
Now, there was no place for them to go. They were like stray dogs, and their disciples were panicking.
Without a future, the three major sects chose to side with the State of Jin. This was also the reason why they became the mages of Gu Yuanda's rebel army.
Gu Yuanda could successfully rebel and get rid of the three major sects of the State of Qi in the army because of their help.
At this moment, a disciple of the Spirit Void Manor entered with an urgent report. He said happily, "Sect Master, the State of Jin sent an announcement to the heavens!"
Chang Linxian's eyes lit up. He snatched the report and looked at it. Cang Feng and Luo Yanzhen also quickly looked at it.
The report said that the court of the State of Jin and the Cloud Equipment Sect had sent out an announcement. They were willing to give three states of land to the Spirit Void Manor, the Guardian Pavilion, and the Delight Mountain.
Of course, there was a prerequisite. The three sects had to contribute to the State of Qi.
Chang Linxian heaved a sigh of relief when he saw the announcement. "The State of Jin didn't go back on their words. Taishu Xiong was a man of his word!"
Cang Feng and Luo Yanzhen nodded with a smile.
That was the condition for the three major sects to join the Jin Nation. They had to have a foothold.
The Jin Nation had agreed long ago, but they had yet to make an announcement. How could a verbal promise in private be useful? What if they went back on their word? They couldn't do anything to Jin Nation either.
That was what the three of them had just been discussing. They had been worried that the Jin Nation would go back on their word.
Now that they saw a promise to the entire world, the three of them could finally relax. They could finally smile.
That was then, and this was now. Thinking back to the past, when he controlled the Wei Nation, he couldn't even give up a single prefecture. Now, he was happy because he could get a prefecture to settle down in. This request was indeed not high, and the standards were indeed getting lower and lower.
Little did they know that the Cloud Tool Sect had originally refused to agree to this matter. No matter how one looked at it, it would be risky to let the three major sects of the Wei Nation carve out a piece of territory in their territory. As the saying goes, a centipede dies but never falls down. Although the three great sects had declined, their foundations were still there. How could they be at ease?
The Cloud Tool Sect would rather support other sects than accommodate the three major sects of the Wei Nation.
It was Tai-shu Xiong who had spent a lot of effort on this matter. Jin Nation was expanding too fast, and they didn't have enough cultivators. There was no need to care about the possible risks now. It was not too late to plan for the future after taking over the overall situation!
Tai-shu Xiong had really tried his best to persuade the Cloud Tool Sect. That was the result!
…
Bang! In the central tent, Luo Zhao slapped the Jin Nation's announcement on the table. He slowly closed his eyes and shook his head. "A bunch of idiots!"
He really didn't know what to say about the Waning Moon Pavilion.
In the beginning, the three major sects of the Wei Nation saw that they had lost the upper hand. They wanted to protect themselves and had no intention of staying on the battlefield of the three Western countries.
However, other countries found it difficult to accommodate them. This was normal. Which country's three major sects could easily accommodate the three major sects of the Wei Nation into their territory? How could they allow outsiders to sleep next to them? How could they feel at ease when three tigers suddenly jumped out of nowhere?
In the end, the three major sects saw the weakness of the Qin Nation and went to the Qin Nation. They hoped that they could settle down in the Qin Nation and that the Qin Nation would give them three states. The requirements were not too high. The three major sects of the Wei Nation only wanted a state to rest and build up their strength. The three major sects also knew that they were not qualified to ask for more.
Of course, the three major sects would not eat for free. They said that the situation of the Qin Nation was worrying, and the three major sects were willing to go to the Qin Nation to defend it.
Seeing that they could not stay, Luo Zhao repeatedly persuaded the Waning Moon Pavilion to agree.
However, there were several reasons why the Waning Moon Pavilion was unwilling.
First of all, what right did the three major sects have to bargain with us?
Everything was fine, and you did not do anything. Why should we cut three pieces of meat from ourselves for you?
The other reason was that the cultivation forces of other countries would be worried and unwilling to accommodate the three major sects.
The Waning Moon Pavilion also had other plans. They knew that the three major sects had nowhere to go, so they wanted to continue forcing the three major sects to fight on the battlefield of the three Western countries.
Of course, there was another important reason. Yu Cang was dead!
The new Pavilion Master of the Waning Moon Pavilion did not have as much prestige as Yu Cang. Not only did he not make any achievements, but he also had to cede territory right after taking office. He was not persuasive enough.
At that time, Luo Zhao repeatedly persuaded them that the territory of the Qin Nation could not be protected. It was suitable for the three major sects to go. At least in the face of the invasion of other countries, the three major sects had to find a way to protect their own territory. They could also help the Qin Nation delay the foreign enemies and at least cause some trouble for the invaders.
However, the Waning Moon Pavilion said that if the three major sects could rely on the Qin Nation, they could also rely on other countries. Once a strong enemy invaded, it was very likely that they would switch sides in order to protect themselves.
It was not wrong for the Waning Moon Pavilion to insist this way. It was not impossible, but very likely.
Luo Zhao also defended the three major sects, saying that after the invasion of other countries, they might not be able to tolerate the three major sects. The three major sects had to consider the consequences. They would probably still help the Qin Nation, and if they could not resist the invasion, they might switch sides. Moreover, other countries might not be willing to accept them if they switched sides. The three major sects might still try their best.
And even if they switched sides, even if other countries were willing to accept them, at least it would leave a hidden danger for the invaders.
However, it was useless. No matter how much he talked, it was useless. The Waning Moon Pavilion also asked him if he had received benefits from the three major sects.
Luo Zhao naturally said no. He said that at least he could not force the three major sects to rely on the Jin Nation. He also said that Huyan Wuhen meant the same thing.
The Waning Moon Pavilion said that since Huyan Wuhen had this intention, why would the Qi Nation not take him in?
The Waning Moon Pavilion said that the Cloud Crafting Sect would not take him in either. They asked him not to worry and let him do his own thing. That was the greatest contribution to the Qin Nation. Nothing else was important.
In the end, the three major sects naturally ran away. Without any benefits, it was impossible for the three major sects to stay and fight the Jin Nation.
In the end, Gu Yuanda, the general guarding the Qi Kingdom rebelled with the help of the three major sects. If it weren't for the help of the three major sects, Gu Yuanda wouldn't have dared to rebel against the Qi Kingdom!
In the end, he saw the announcement of the Jin Nation. The Jin Nation announced to the world that it would give the three major sects three states. The Qin Nation was unwilling to give, and the other countries were unwilling to give, but the Jin Nation, the enemy of the three major sects, gave.
And this was naturally the Jin Nation's initiative to contact the three major sects, promising them benefits!
At this time, what else could Luo Zhao say? Just the promise of three states' territory had caused Gu Yuanda to cause so much trouble within the Qi Nation.
He did not know if the Waning Moon Pavilion would reflect on their actions after seeing this announcement.
…
Inside the tent, Huyan Wuhen, who had also seen the announcement of the Jin Nation, was already indifferent. Some things could only be said that the situation was inferior to the people.
He tried to persuade the three major sects to stay, but he could not.
The three major sects had seen the situation of the Qi Nation pushing the Wei Nation's troops forward. Huyan Wuhen's persuasion could only make the three major sects think that the Qi Nation wanted to use them as sacrificial pawns.
The most important thing was that the situation was inferior to the people!
The Qi Nation was already on the brink of collapse. Even if the three major sects were willing to believe in the three states' territory, they had to face reality. What else could they do by staying in the Qi Nation but continue to fight the Jin Nation? Accompany the Qi Nation in its destruction?
If not for this, the three major sects would not have gone to the Qin Nation.
Huyan Wuhen sent a message to Luo Zhao. He only had one request: to stabilize the three major sects. At the very least, he could not let the three major sects side with the Jin Nation.
He did not expect that the Waning Moon Pavilion would not agree. By the time the three major sects reappeared, they had already joined forces with Gu Yuanda and helped Gu Yuanda rebel.
Could the Qin Nation's territory still be preserved? The Xiping Pass had already been blocked by the Jin Nation. The main force of the Qin Nation could not return. The Qin Nation's territory was already meat in the mouths of the Han Nation and the Yan Nation.
Huyan Wuhen could not understand what the Waning Moon Pavilion was thinking. What was the use of holding an empty shell? Could these cultivators have a strategic vision that overlooked the world? How could they force the three major sects to side with the enemy? If the Qi Nation was finished, could the Qin Nation's army be preserved?
He really wanted to see how the Waning Moon Pavilion would react after seeing this announcement. Compared to the boldness of the Jin Nation, would they be able to see through his narrow-mindedness?
One was unwilling to give up the territory of the three provinces and forced the three major sects to side with the Waning Moon Pavilion of the Jin Nation. The other was the three major sects of the Qi Nation that seized the power of the Qi Emperor and placed him under house arrest.
Huyan Wuhen did not know what to say. It could even be said that he was already somewhat numb.
…
The Huyan Clan still had a deterrent force in the Qi Nation. Huyan Ding's recruitment of troops from various prefectures was considered smooth.
Inside the central military tent, the weather-beaten Gu Yuanda was silent and contemplative as he looked at the gathering position of the enemy on the map.
Having betrayed the Qi Nation and sided with the Jin Nation, he knew that he could not get rid of the reputation of being a traitor for the rest of his life. There were some things that he would not be willing to do if he had a choice. But sometimes, there really weren't many choices. Or, it could be said that he had to find a way out!
Originally, he was still somewhat apprehensive. But after learning that the Vast Cloud Painting had been seized, he increasingly realized that his choice was correct. The Qi Nation's power was lost!
The elder of the Cloud Implement Sect said in a deep voice, "The instigators of our Jin Nation can grasp Huyan Ding's movements at any time. Why is the Great General still hesitating? Huyan Ding has already conscripted 200,000 troops. Before the enemy's troops are fully assembled, it will be convenient for us to behead Huyan Ding! As long as the dragon is without a leader, that motley crew of troops will be nothing more than a motley crew. "
Gu Yuanda said, "No. Wait until the enemy's troops are fully assembled before we make our move!"
The elder of the Cloud Implement Sect was slightly angry. "You don't make your move when the time is right. You want to wait until the worst time to make your move? Are you joking?"
