The Sacred Ding Chapter 292: Meeting
Chen Hai, Qi Hanjiang, and Du Linan rushed back to Lukaixia, and Ge Xuanqiao was already waiting in Lukaixia.
"Meet Old Master Ge" Du Linan did not expect that Ge Xuanqiao, the first elder of the Patriarch Hall, would wait for them directly at Lukaixia. Ge Xuanqiao was a figure of the Patriarch Du Linan in the sect, and he respectfully saluted him at this time.
The matter of Ge Xuanqiao sitting in Montenegro at this time, Taiweizong will not disclose it to the public, but Du Linan also knows about it, but I don’t know why the ancestor Ge Xuanqiao suddenly rushed to Lucheng, and it happened to be in Lukaixia. Wait for them.
After Dong Ning’s spirit aura is also cultivated into the snake bracelet, regardless of the distance of thousands of miles, Chen Hai only needs to pull Dong Ning’s mind and thoughts into the blood cloud wasteland, and can communicate directly. The efficiency of communication is high. It's accurate, I don't know how much higher it is than the psychic transmission.
Of course, if Dong Ning is not with Chen Hai, if the two people’s spirit and soul will enter the blood cloud wasteland at the same time, they need Dong Ning people to be in Montenegro—the entrance to the blood cloud wasteland is actually in Montenegro, Chen The spirit of the sea also entered the blood cloud wasteland through Black Mountain, but the snake bracelet broke the limitation of space distance.
Not only did Ge Xuanqiao rush to Lukaixia to meet Chen Hai directly, after the merger of the Jingjue Army and the Royal Family Army, 25,000 soldiers and horses had also been drawn from Montenegro, across the vast sea of sand, and came directly from Lucheng.
Chen Hai told Ge Xuanqiao about the ambush in the Demon Temple in the deep mountains south of Lukaixia.
"I haven't seen Miao Mingcheng for many years. I went to Lucheng to see him this time. He probably has the thought of devouring me alive." Ge Xuanqiao thought about the battle in the West 20 years ago, and was filled with emotion.
Although Ge Xuanqiao tried his best to oppose the Western Expedition of the Tiger Ben Army 20 years ago, he was really insignificant and could not violate the overall will of Taiweizong. At that time, even Taiweizong and Dong clan opposed the Western Expedition. Nor can it go against the strong will of the master of Yanzhou, Ying's, to expand its territory.
Of course, Ge Xuanqiao also knows that the blood feud he forged back then cannot be solved easily.
Before the Western Expedition, the population of Pinglu Grand Oasis exceeded 10 million, and at one time it fell sharply to less than 3 million. Over 90% of the 60-odd city of Pinglu was destroyed. In the past two decades after the war, Rebuilt to more than forty cities.
This is just the loss of the Pinglu Oasis, when the real decisive battle took place in the Tahe Oasis where Tibet and Qiang were located.
The Demon Temple was once a sect that was several times stronger than the Taiwei Sect. The elite disciples and the spirit beasts raised for thousands of years have almost lost everything. Miao Mingcheng’s master, master uncle, and dozens of peer teachers Brothers and nearly tens of thousands of disciples and grandchildren were all lost in that battle.
"What, Elder Ge is going to Lucheng to see Miao Mingcheng?" Du Linan asked in shock.
Du Linan presides over the Taiwei Guild Hall, and is considered a stand-alone figure in the Zongmen, but why does Chen Hai say that this is the basis for Du Linan's lack of attention in the Du family?
This is because of the blood feud 20 years ago, several principals of the Taiwei sect who were sent to the Guild Halls of Lucheng and Xiqiang King City were assassinated.
The only thing left by Taiweizong in the Pinglu Oasis is hatred. Even if the Ye clan intends to make friends with the Dong clan and the Taiweizong, every time he assassinates, he will not stop at the end; Taiweizong and the Dong clan The toughness of Pinglu is useless at all in the Pinglu Oasis.
Clearly knowing that Miao Mingcheng has the mind to devour them, the manpower they deploy in Lucheng is far less than the Demon Temple. Once Miao Mingcheng is in trouble, the problem will be troublesome.
"I won't show up, how can I convince the disciples of the Demon Temple to withdraw from Pinglu?" Ge Xuanqiao said with his sleeves waving.
Hundreds of elite disciples of the Demon Temple ambushed in the mountains before Lukaixia. If they were not discovered, it would be a wonderful strategy beyond everyone's imagination in Hexi.
In Hexi, if there are a number of civil unrest in the Western Qiang Kingdom, it is unrealistic to draw tens of thousands of troops from Tieliuling to the west in a short time.
The 134,000-mile journey from Tieliuling to Lucheng is a vast sea of sand. Even if there are nearly a hundred large and small oases that can be used as a springboard, tens of thousands of soldiers will enter more than 10,000 miles of grain and grass. solve?
Hexi did not have long-term and sufficient preparations. Suddenly, he wanted to intervene in the civil strife in Xiqiang. The most straightforward method was to dispatch one to twenty thousand of the most elite Taoist soldiers to surprise Lucheng with lightning speed. After converging the Ye's remnants of soldiers and horses, and then defeating the rebels, control the entire Pinglu Oasis.
Hundreds of elite disciples of the Demon Temple lie in ambush in the deep mountains before Lukaixia. They are traps for Hexi’s surprise attack strategy. They want to swallow the most elite of Hexi’s 10,000 to 20,000 soldiers in Lucheng. Make Hexi's bitterness unable to tell.
The Daoya soldiers are the most elite soldiers in Hexi, but in Hexi, the total number of Daoya soldiers is less than 40,000. If it loses a quarter or even half of its elites at once, it will be a painful and unforgiving trauma to Taiweizong, Dong and Hexi.
At this time, Hexi fought with the Hexiang army in the south, and the Musashi army was ill-informed. The monsters in the north were ready to move. After experiencing such a heavy blow, Hexi would not send troops west to avenge the demon temple in a short time. Ability.
Only by achieving such an effect, the Demon Temple can be called a big victory.
However, the ambush of the Demon Temple in the south of Lukaixia has been exposed. It is no longer possible to attack the elite of the Hexi Dao in Lucheng. They chose to be in Lucheng and start a **** battle with Hexi that is likely to hurt both sides. ?
After being reminded by Chen Hai, Du Linan swept away his frustration and thought that this possibility was extremely low.
Twenty years ago, during the Western Expedition, the Demon God Temple was so severely damaged that it is far from regaining its vitality now, and it simply cannot bear the heavy casualties in a short time.
Otherwise, the Demon Temple can openly interfere in the political affairs of the Western Qiang Kingdom, and even directly prevent the Ye clan and the Dong clan of Hexi, the king clan of Xiqiang, instead of jointly subverting the Zhang clan of Tianaishan under the pretence of the horse thief Kong Peng. Yip's.
In this case, the Demon Temple, which has not yet recovered its vitality, how dare to use one-third of the elite combat power to start a battle with Taiweizong on the edge of the Pinglu Oasis?
Be aware that the Taiwei Sect at this time, even if it was constrained by the Musashi Army and the Hexiang Army, only drew out 10,000 elite yamen to march westward, even if it finally fights with the elite disciples in the demon temple ambushing outside Lucheng Both lose out.
Such a loss for both sides, Taiweizong may only need three to five years to recover; while the Demon Temple may take 20 to 30 years to recover, but the strength from the time of peak recovery becomes even more slim.
So after confirming the ambush of the Demon Temple, Chen Hai’s strategy is very simple. It is to directly find the Elder Miao Mingcheng of the Demon Temple and Su Chonghu, the disciple of the Demon Temple lurking in Lucheng, and force the Demon Temple to withdraw from the Western Qiang Kingdom. civil war.
The Demon Temple does not retreat, and Hexi can only be forced to send troops to Ping Lu Oasis. Then the two sides will be in Lucheng or somewhere else in the West Qiang country, and it will be good to fight a battle.
Hexi did not send troops directly before, because he did not want to be involved in a larger-scale war, but the Demon Temple has directly sent hundreds of elite disciples, and Hexi's response could not be weak.
Therefore, Du Linan thought that after the conspiracy was exposed, the Demon Temple might still retreat, but he did not expect that Old Zu Ge would personally enter Lucheng on this trip to find the elder Miao Mingcheng of the Demon Temple.
In case something goes wrong, and the old ancestor Ge falls in Lucheng, Du Linan really has no way to explain to the sect.
Du Linan hoped that Chen Hai would persuade Ge Lao to act cautiously, but looked at Chen Hai, Chen Hai frowned and looked into the distance. There was no intention to persuade Ge Lao at all. Du Linan sighed slightly, thinking about Chen Hai and Ge Lao. Zu made a decision, not he could persuade him.
Soon there were more than a hundred riders galloping towards this side, led by a 60-year-old sword repairman in a green robe, with a black giant sword behind him, and the whole person revealed a sharp edge.
This person is Zhao Jin, the Patriarch of the Zhao Family in Lucheng, who has cultivated in the late Ming Aperture Stage.
In addition to Zhao Jin, the Zhao family of Lucheng also has a strong man in the Ming Aperture Realm who is less than 30 years old. He is a leader among the young generations in the Eastern Region of Jinzhou, but because of Lucheng's status in the Pinglu Oasis Very important.
The Zhao family possesses two Aperture Realm powerhouses, and there is no way to control the power of Lucheng alone.
Zhao Jin and more than a hundred children of the Zhao family behind them stopped their horses on a stone hill with more than a thousand steps. They did not continue to move forward, but they did not suspect that Lu Kaixia was hiding another soldier, Zhao Jin's eyes were on Chen Hai The faces of Ge Xuanqiao and Ge Xuanqiao turned. He didn't recognize Ge Xuanqiao, but he could feel Ge Xuanqiao's unfathomable cultivation level more than a thousand steps apart.
Zhao Jin hesitated for a while before leaving more than a hundred children behind him to stay where he was, and he rode towards Shitan on his own.
"The Zhao clan, although not a big clan, it still has two bones and will never take refuge in foreign thieves," Zhao Jin said loudly, "I'm here to advise you not to waste your time and What are you thinking about Lucheng. Even if you detain me now, it won’t help!"
"Taiweizong has no intention of intervening in Lucheng, and will not be directly involved in the rebellion and rebellion of the Western Qiang Kingdom. The ancestor Ge Xuanqiao and I are also guest Qing invited by the Ye family~IndoMTL.com~Chen Hai said, "But if Lucheng and Zhao can stay out of the matter, Sovereign Zhao can send people to the deep gorge six hundred miles southwest to see how many ambushes are hidden in the Demon Temple. Ye's royal family make a choice! "
Lucheng's agriculture, animal husbandry and handicraft industries are quite developed, with a population of nearly 300,000. Farming, pasture and handicraft workshops all account for almost one-third of the labor force. In addition, there are considerable caravans.
However, for the five surnames of Lucheng, the distribution of clan industry among agriculture, animal husbandry, handicrafts, and commerce is not absolutely balanced.
The Zhao clan, a very heavy craftsmanship, the core industries are several large-scale workshops and caravans in the city.
Once the business is cut off, the loss of the other four surnames is not so great, but the foundation of the Zhao family will be shaken immediately.
So between the Zhou family and the Zhao family, Chen Hai finally chose to meet Zhao Jin, the head of the Zhao family, not because he had much confidence in Zhao Jin, and he knew the roots of the Zhao family.
Chen Hai didn't believe that the Zhao family really wanted to see Lucheng's status weakened after being controlled by the Demon Temple, and it became a small border town as insignificant as Xuanfeng City in the Western Qiang Kingdom.
