The Sacred Ding Chapter 284: Proxy wars
Although Qi Hanjiang's face is full of swords and scars, his stature is burly, even before he stepped into the Aperture Realm, he was born with courage, like a hardened sword|saber, so fierce that people dare not dare. Look straight.
Qi Hanjiang looked down on Du Linan, who was ugly and dressed like a merchant merchant, and watched Du Linan bring back a bunch of useless materials and piled them in front of Chen Hai. He jokingly said, "If you have anything to say, you can hold it. Who has the patience to look at such a bunch of things?"
Qi Hanjiang squeezed over to sit and signaled that since Du Linan had already put down the information, he could sit aside and answer Chen Hai's question.
"Don't be presumptuous, let me sit by and listen to Mr. Du's analysis of the situation in Lucheng." Seeing Qi Hanjiang push his nose to bully Du Linan, Chen Hai glared at him and berated him to sit aside.
Qi Hanjiang is the kind of born and brave general. His cultivation progress is faster than Zhou Jun and others. Coupled with his undaunted temperament, he has a stronger aura after entering the Aperture Realm. Chen Hai glared at him, but immediately looked like a punctured balloon, and retreated to the side in a daze.
Du Linan seems to be a merchant in the city. This is more of a means for him to protect himself in Lucheng. He will not be annoyed by Qi Hanjiang's rudeness. He cares more about Chen Hai's attitude towards him.
Chen Hai looks rough and taller than Qi Hanjiang, as if a mountain is sitting behind a table, but Chen Hai’s momentum at this time is convergent, and there is no sharpness to show, and his cultivation is clearly Ming Ming. In the early days, in Du Linan's eyes, Chen Hai gave him a feeling that was far more unfathomable than Qi Hanjiang, like a pinnacle standing on the snowy plain, not far away, not close, and indestructible.
To say that Du Linan still had the courage to compete with Qi Hanjiang at this time, but in front of Chen Hai, he thought that he was afraid that it would be difficult to even raise fighting spirit.
However, it’s not surprising to think about it. As the number one in the Northwest Territory Academy, he has at least two true meanings and is destined to step into the Dao Dan realm in this life. He is also called the number one in the Northwest Territory. The martial arts wizards who were rare in a century, and the organ puppets who were rare in hundreds of years, have won the reputation of the Black Mountain Arrow Demon in the Golden State Desert. Chen Hai’s aura, even the many Dao Dan realms in Hexi, is it all Have the ability to compete with him?
If it wasn't for Chen Hai to be such a wonderful person, Du Linan would not have violated the clan taboo, and he would take out the Lucheng information he collected over the past two years without reservation.
At this time, the interests of Taiweizong and the Dong clan overwhelmed everything. Du Linan could not betray Chen Hai because of his clan feud, but from the standpoint of the Du clan, he should be passive and reluctant, rather than so active. Cooperate.
However, if you miss the opportunity in front of you, when will there be a stage where Du Linan will be shown?
"Master Du, you have been in Lucheng for a long time, have you ever found anything unusual in Lucheng recently?" Chen Hai wants to fully digest the information that Du Linan has collected. It takes time, so it is naturally far better to ask Du Linan's opinions straightforwardly.
"The five clans of Lucheng, Zhou, Gu, Zhang, Zhao and Yang are independent, but also have intricate connections with other clans in the Pinglu Oasis. For example, the Zhang family in Lucheng is actually a family of the Zhang family in Tianaishan. As for the side branch, I am afraid that the Zhang clan in Lucheng is weak. Even if he advocates supporting Zhang Xiong as the lord of the country, he cannot decide the attitude of the other four. Even if the other four have sympathy for the Ye clan, this sympathy is far from enough. Let them stand up and support Ye's restoration of the country,"
Du Linan said,
"With the attitude of the five clans of Lucheng, they would rather stay out of Zhang Ye’s **** battle to seize the country without the intervention of external forces. As the second largest city in Pinglu, Lucheng wanted to push Lucheng to make a choice as soon as possible. Yes, it’s not just the Jingjue Duhufu family"
Chen Hai nodded. He was not so naive and naive to think that Zhang Xiong, Kong Peng and other rogues had completely forgotten Lucheng, and he could also understand Lucheng's mentality of having two sources, once the elite army wanted to violently capture Lucheng, It must be as fast as thunder, without delay, otherwise, not only will it not be able to capture Lucheng, but it will also be completely pushed into the arms of the rebels.
The city guards of Lucheng, at this time there are already four thousand elite generals, but the potential of Lucheng is far more than that.
After the Yitian Emperor’s West Expedition, Zhou Gu and other five clans have operated Lucheng for 20 years. The data collected by Du Linan also shows that the five clans usually have elite private soldiers ranging from 600 to 1,000. The Shiwu surname controls more than half of the workshops and farms in Lucheng. This actually means that more than half of the 300,000 farmers, herdsmen and handicraftsmen in and outside Lucheng are attached to these five surnames.
In addition, due to the interruption of business routes, there are nearly 10,000 people stranded in business travel.
In these business trips, the Qianghu people accounted for 90%, and the Yanzhou people accounted for less than 10%-and because of the horses and thieves in the business trips, the proportion of guards with the training foundation in the caravan was extremely high.
What's more, after the official establishment of the Jingjue Protectorate, the people who entered Lucheng under the guise of a caravan with unpredictable hearts were not only Qi Hanjiang.
All these things mean that unless Jing Juejun can take Lucheng quickly, the situation will be delayed for a while, and Jing Juejun will soon be trapped in the desperate situation of being attacked by the enemy.
In addition to the city walls, Lucheng is built with black sandstone. The five sides of the city also deploy defensive arrays. At this time, they are extremely vigilant. No matter whether the elite army is dignified or raided, they cannot respond to the five surnames. Take down Lucheng before coming over.
"The three people who entered Lucheng with the state envoy before were named as the guards of the caravan of the Changle City Lord’s Mansion, but the departure date of this caravan from the Changle City Lord’s Mansion was after Zhang’s rebellion and seized the capital. In addition to the guards, there are two people in the caravan who don’t show up often, but their cultivation bases are unpredictable," Du Linan said. "According to the information I collected before, the Changle City He clan and the Tibetan and Qiang Kingdom have many industries. The city lord He Rong himself was a disciple from the Demon God Temple, and he wanted to restore the glory of the Demon God Temple - so Zhang's rebellion, He Rong did not stand up for the first time to embrace him, but remained neutral, which in itself was a very strange thing. "
The Demon Temple was once flourishing in the eastern part of Jinzhou. Emperor Yitian led his troops to march west. The Demon Temple was also the core of the strong resistance of Qianghu. Although Yitian Emperor was frustrated in his west expedition, even Yitian himself almost drove into the depths of the sand sea, but the two powers of the Demon Temple, the Nine Dao Dan, and other strong players were all lost, and it was also destined to be difficult for the Demon Temple. The redemptive defeat.
After the Great Yanbing Ma Dong withdrew, the power of the Demon Temple also retreated to the depths of Dajin Mountain to the south of Tibet and Qiang to rest and recuperate. The remaining three barely maintained the situation and quickly lost control of the eastern Golden State countries.
However, it is undeniable that the influence of the Demon Temple in the Pinglu Oasis is still extremely far-reaching.
Zhang’s treason and desire to kill Ye’s marriage with Hexi, it’s not surprising that the Tibetan and Qiang Kingdom and the Demon Temple were involved, but He Rong, the lord of Changle City, wanted to restore the glory of the Demon Temple. The disciple secretly had close contacts with the Tibetan and Qiang country, but by this time he had not publicly stood up to follow Zhang Xiong, Kong Peng and other rebels to jointly strengthen the control of the Pinglu Oasis. This matter is worth pondering.
In order to avoid the uncontrolled expansion of the situation, Hexi will not directly send troops to intervene in the war in the Western Qiang Kingdom, but the secret support to the Jingjue Duhufu and the Ye clan is not weak at all; the same reason, Tibet The Qiang Kingdom and the Demon God Temple will not directly intervene in the royal power replacement within the Western Qiang Kingdom, but it does not mean that other minor actions will not be performed.
This is a proxy war at all.
And they can see the importance of Lucheng, Zhang Xiong, Kong Peng and other rogues, as well as the Tibetan and Qiang Kingdom and the Demon Temple behind them, will not ignore the importance of Lucheng.
"He's a thief, how do you want to fight this battle?" Qi Hanjiang sat aside, listening to Chen Hai and Du Linan's question and answer, slowly clarifying the current situation in Lucheng, but he listened more and more , The more I listen, the more confused.
Although Ye Qinglin’s direct royal army and the preliminarily expanded Jing Jue army have a combined strength of more than 30,000, even if these 30,000 are pushed to the city of Lucheng at a lightning speed, they may not be able to succeed. Lucheng.
After all, Lucheng is too close to the king. The distance between the two is no more than four hundred miles. This means that if the Jing Juejun cannot take the Lucheng within half a day, it will be in a desperate situation of being attacked by the enemy. What about Jing Juejun? Can you win Lucheng with a large defensive formation deployed in half a day?
If you want to make a surprise attack, it won't work.
Now they don’t understand how many elites and masters are hiding in the Demon Temple and the Tibetan and Qiang Kingdom in Lucheng. Lucheng does not seem to be fortified in front of it, but how many elites must be sent to attack and control the corner of Lucheng and make Lucheng’s defenses Can't the big array play a role?
He Rong, the lord of Changle City, did not publicly stand up to support Zhang Xiong, Kong Peng and other rebels, but after the fall of the Ye family, he sent a large number of elite and strong men to Lucheng under the cover of caravans. Shilucheng is more like a lore trap for Jing Juejun and Dong's family.
At this moment, Qi Hanjiang wanted to understand, and said: "Since these dog thieves set traps in Lucheng, we can't get into his trap. We abandon Lucheng and seize Xuanfeng City in the northwest. Believe it or not, the Tibetan and Qiang Kingdom and the Demon Temple also have such a gloomy layout in Xuanfeng City."
Xuanfeng City is also one of Chen Hai’s candidates. Xuanfeng City is located on the northeast corner of the Pinglu Oasis, forming an equilateral triangle with Black Mountain and Songyang Lake, and it currently maintains neutrality.
Chen Hai shook his head, Xuan Fengcheng was just the worst alternative in his mind, and said: "The situation is different from what we initially expected. Since the demon temple and the Tibetan and Qiang kingdom are so deep, we Gen's reckless action against the insignificant Xuanfeng City is likely to cause a neutral city like Lucheng to quickly fall to Zhang and Kong Rebel ~ IndoMTL.com~ before we wait for us to stand firm in Xuanfeng City, Zhang Xiong, Kong Peng, etc. The rebels may bring hundreds of thousands of soldiers to encircle, and this battle will be difficult."
"Then the one who beats the mother." Qi Hanjiang said.
Chen Hai shook his head slightly and smiled. The crossbow chariots and golden arrows that Jing Juejun had compiled at this time were too limited. He led the outstanding army and the royal army led by Ye Qinglin can cooperate in the battle. He is confident to defeat about twice as many enemy forces, but more is a bit risky; and once Zhang, Kong and other thieves can gather more than ten troops at a time Wan, then there will be an absolute difference in strength. If he can't divide and strike it, he will eventually have to give up Xuanfeng City and retreat to Black Mountain. At that time, the good moves he won at this time will be lost, but instead help. Zhang, Kong and other thieves quickly unified the Pinglu Oasis.
Furthermore, Jing Juejun has secret war games such as chariots of crossbows, but the demon temple behind Zhang, Kong and other rebels, and the support of the Tibetan and Qiang kingdoms, how can they not have hole cards, how can they continue to be regarded as them? Look at horse thief and miscellaneous soldiers?
"What should I do, return to Montenegro and stop fighting?" Qi Hanjiang asked with his hands.
"Want to fight or to fight Lucheng," Chen Hai laughed, and asked Du Linan, "I want to attack Lucheng, what can Master Du have to do to weaken the plot of the demon **** Tibet and the Tibetan and Qiang kingdom in Lucheng?"
