The others understood what he meant.
Luo Zhao asked again, "Is there nothing we can do to him?"
Su Yuanbai frowned and said, "This guy is unmoved by force or persuasion. There is nothing we can do to him now. He even touched the butt of Hui Qingping, the Elder of the Fairy Sect, and flirted with her all day long. He even said that he wanted to marry her. He has become a joke …" He told them the ridiculous things he learned from Yan.
Luo Zhao was speechless. Wen You was also shocked by Wugong Ling's audacity. This kind of person could not be intimidated!
The three Elders did not know whether to laugh or cry. They wanted to see how angry Hui Qingping was, but it was not convenient for them to leave.
After a pause, Dong Yinglai said, "Governor, do you have any other opinions for us to convey regarding the war decided by the higher-ups?"
Luo Zhao turned around and looked at the situation marked on the map. Even though he hated them, Wugong Ling had led the situation to this stage. It was already too late to take back what was done. If Wugong Ling really started a war at the border, he would not be able to answer to the three major sects if he and the imperial court did not fight …
In the Martial Lecture Hall of the Imperial Palace, a group of military personnel gathered in front of a large map. Emperor Qi's Haoyun Tu was also there.
Chief General Huyan Wuhen personally explained the war in the Yan Kingdom to Haoyun Tu. After analyzing the various situations, he pointed at the approximate location of Wugong Ridge and said, "Your Majesty, where the rebel army has reached, the local prefectures of the Yan Kingdom have adopted the policy of fortifying the walls and clearing the fields, not giving the rebel army any chance to replenish their supplies. The provisions of Wugong Ridge will not be able to last for long. Looking at the movements of Wugong Ridge, they should be preparing to clash with the troops at the border of the Yan Kingdom and create a good opportunity for the Song Kingdom's army to attack. Otherwise, it will be difficult for the rebel army to survive.
Haoyun Tu looked serious and said, "So, the war between the Han and the Song is inevitable?"
Huyan Wuhen said, "They will collide with the Song army. The Han army will not be in a hurry to act and will probably sit back and watch. But if the Yan and the Song fight, the Han will send troops sooner or later."
Haoyun Tu nodded and understood what he meant. He sneered and said, "Changing the commander at the last minute! Shang Jianxiong, what should I say about you? Great General, is there no way to save the Yan people? "
Huyan Wuhen said without hesitation, "Defeat the enemy and force them to retreat!"
Vast Cloud Map: "Do you think that the current Yan can still defeat the Han and Song?"
Huyan Wuhen said, "It's not impossible. Shang Jianbo hasn't been dead for too long. The old subordinates that he left behind are all veterans of the battlefield. They aren't mediocre. They are the last family that supports the Yan clan and prevents others from offending them. If there's a good general who can devise strategies and make good use of them, no one will dare to underestimate him. But the problem is that with Shang Jianxiong's actions in the past, it's unlikely that he'll be able to gather these people to die for him, because they know very well that no matter how hard they work, Shang Jianxiong will eliminate them in the end. "
"As long as they retain their strength, even if Yan Dynasty collapses, it will only be a change of dynasty. After the war, the Han and Song consumed a lot of energy. With the expansion of their territory, their strength is relatively scattered. Moreover, they will face the situation of the Han and Song competing. Under such circumstances, as long as the feudal lords are willing to switch sides, the Han and Song should be willing to accept them. What the Han Song will not let go of is the imperial power of Yan Kingdom. They will not let go of the three major sects of Yan Kingdom. Those dukes who hold military power and the sects that protect the dukes will still do so. "
"Even some of the officials in the Yan imperial court may be put in an important position after the war. Therefore, these people will have a way out at the last moment. I'm afraid they may not be willing to sacrifice their lives. Even if they are willing to sacrifice their lives, it will be difficult for them to achieve anything. There's no first in literature and no second in martial arts. If they don't fight, who among the feudal lords will be willing to submit? To resist the Han and Song, the Yan imperial court still lacks a person with enough prestige to make the feudal lords bow their heads. The qualifications of Shang Yongzhong and some of the generals in the Yan court will not be able to suppress those arrogant soldiers and valiant generals! "
These words made Haoyun Tu's heart tighten. He had a lot of thoughts. If the State of Qi collapsed, who would let him go? They would certainly be ruthless. The officials below were familiar with the local customs and political situation. As long as they were willing to work for the new power, some of them could still maintain their glory and wealth. It was just a change of master.
He also knew that what Huyan Wuhen said was the truth. When the war had reached a certain stage, it would not be easy for those cultivators to control the feudal lords. It would be useless even if you forced them to risk their lives. Even if you put a knife on their neck, you would definitely lose all kinds of tricks.
Once the general situation was out of control, or the general situation was gone, all kinds of situations would definitely emerge.
Haoyun Tu pondered for a moment and asked, "Meng Shanming?"
Huyan Wuhen nodded, "Even if it's Shang Chaozong. With Shang Jianbo's death, the influence of the feudal lords will inevitably fall on Shang Chaozong. In addition, Shang Chaozong almost started from scratch in the Southern Province. After a few battles, it will be enough to consolidate the influence that Shang Jianbo left for him. Meng Shanming … If Shang Chaozong is still trapped, I'm afraid he might not help. If the Yan Court really killed Shang Chaozong, it is equivalent to cutting off the last shackle to the Southern Province. Then, the people of the Southern Province will really become wild horses that are out of control. If they are slightly frightened, they might run in another direction! "
…
In the Jin Kingdom's palace, Great General Yin Chu was also explaining the possible direction of the war to the Jin Emperor, Taishu Xiong.
Shao Pingbo listened on the side, and his mind was racing. As the situation developed, whether the Yan Court let Shang Chaozong go or not made him in a dilemma. If he let him go, it would not be beneficial to the plan here. If he didn't let him go, he would measure others by himself. It was not a bad thing for Niu Youdao. It was equivalent to removing a shackle from Niu Youdao's body …
The pursuing army stopped. Shang Yongzhong galloped past them and found Su Qitong who ordered the army to stop. He saw An Xianzhao who was in charge of the troops of Tuzhou was also there.
Shang Yongzhong jumped off the horse and walked to the two under the protection of a group of people. He questioned, "Generals, we have just set off for two hours. Are we going to stop and reorganize again? The rebel army is a disaster. We should catch up with them and eliminate them as soon as possible! "
Su Qitong and An looked at each other. The former asked someone to take the map and opened it. He pointed and said, "Prince, the situation is not right. The direction of Wugong Ridge seems to be to meet up with the troops of Song Kingdom. Brother An also had the same guess and came to discuss with me. We have the same idea! "
Shang Yongzhong stared at the map for a while and shook his head. He said doubtfully, "Not necessarily. There are many troops stationed at the border and there is a great army chasing after them. Once they are attacked by the two armies, won't they be courting death? "
In that instant, Su Qitong and An Xianzhao looked up at the sky and the ground.
Looking at the two of them, Shang Yongzhong's expression was slightly unhappy. He wasn't stupid, so how could he not see the disdain the two of them had for him? He couldn't help but say in a low voice, "Could it be that what this king said was wrong?"
An Xianzhao raised his hand and poked at the map. "Brother Su already said that they are going to meet up with the troops of the Song Kingdom. Prince, do you think that the Song Kingdom's army is just standing there and not moving? The three hundred thousand soldiers of Wugong Ridge are all experienced soldiers. How many soldiers does the Prince think that the armies of the various prefectures and prefectures at the border would have to send out to fight? Although there are many soldiers at the border, they are all along the long border. Once the three hundred thousand soldiers of Wugong Ridge arrive, they only need to attack one spot to affect the entire defense line. Can the people at the defense line just sit back and do nothing? "
Su Qitong sighed. "If the people at the defense line just sit back and do nothing, Wugong Ridge will definitely break through the defense line. If they rush over to provide reinforcements, the defense line in other areas will immediately weaken. Both situations will create the best opportunity for the Song Kingdom to cross the river and attack!"
Hearing this, Shang Yongzhong's expression changed. He finally realized what was going on and seemed to be panicking. "No, we cannot let them succeed. Immediately send orders for the army to advance at full speed. We must stop the rebel army!"
He had no choice but to panic. Once the rebel army succeeded, he could imagine what he would face.
An Xianzhao said, "The distance between the two armies is very high, and so is their speed. How can they catch up so easily? If the Prince can gather the remaining forces of the various prefectures and get the various prefectures and prefectures to fight to the death, it might be possible to stop the rebel army quickly. Otherwise, harassing the three hundred thousand soldiers like tickling them is useless."
"I will immediately report this to the imperial court and supervise them!" Shang Yongzhong said before running off, not daring to delay for a moment.
"Ptooey!" An Xianzhao tilted his head and spat. "What kind of joke is this? If we really listen to his commands, we won't even know how we die."
Actually, there was no need for Shang Yongzhong to report this. As the direction of Wugong Ridge's army became more obvious, the various factions gradually figured out Wugong Ridge's intentions.
The changes in the situation affected everyone involved. The news from the Qi Kingdom and the Wei Kingdom had already reached Yanjing before Shang Yongzhong. The two kingdoms explained their relationship to the Yan Court. At the same time, they were pressuring the Yan Court, hoping that the Yan Court would release Shang Chaozong and appease him so that Shang Chaozong could lead Nanzhou's troops to join the battle as soon as possible.
How could Shang Jianxiong let Shang Chaozong go so easily? The decree was Shang Jianxiong's decree. If he changed it now, it would be a painful slap to his face.
However, the situation made Shang Jianxiong nervous. He mobilized all the forces in the imperial court and forced the prefectures in the direction of the rebel army to stop them at all costs.
Under the pressure and even the threat of death, the prefectures in the direction of the rebel army kept setting up obstacles in front of them. They dug roads, blocked roads, broke bridges, and did everything they could to stop them.
How could these small roads stop Wugong Ridge? Wugong Ridge also left the obstacles for the pursuing troops. For example, after the bridges were built, Wugong Ridge would also destroy them, allowing the pursuing troops to enjoy themselves.
Along the way, the prefectures gathered another 100,000 troops to set up defenses at the dangerous passes that the rebel army had to pass through. In the end, Wugong Ridge broke through in one fell swoop and slaughtered all the surrendered soldiers! This caused the prefectures in the front to tremble with fear. All kinds of difficulties appeared, and they kept asking for help from the imperial court.
The three major sects were also nervous. First, the five elders of the three major sects could not withstand the pressure. They forced the pursuing feudal vassals to chase after the rebel army at all costs.
The feudal vassals were forced into a corner. They chased after the rebel army day and night. The soldiers had little time to rest, and they were getting closer and closer to the rebel army …
On the hill, among the rebel army that had passed by, a group of people turned back. A group of people immediately looked into the distance from the hill. It was Wugong Ridge and the others under the protection of a group of cultivators.
"The pursuing troops are approaching. Why did the general suddenly turn back?" Quan Taifeng asked.
Wugong Ridge chuckled. "What's so scary about the pursuing troops? If I want to stop them, I can settle them with a wave of my hand!"
Not far away, Hui Qingping, who was also sitting on a horse, snorted coldly. "Shameless boasting!"
Wugong Ridge turned his head and looked at her. "Pingping, you cultivators are not the only ones who know spells. The spells I know are the Great Spells of the Heavens and Earth. Why don't we make a bet? If I can easily cast a spell to stop the pursuing troops, you will marry me. How about that?"
Hui Qingping had gotten used to some forms of address. She said sternly, "So what if I'm shameless boasting?"
Swish! Wugong Ridge unsheathed his sword and lightly flicked the blade. "If my spell is ineffective, I am willing to offer my head to you!"
