Chapter 816: To bring order out of chaos or to bring order back to chaos?
Unfortunately, the old water lizards in Longchuan also only heard about Wen Daolun's death, but did not know the specific cause of his death.
But it knew that the Jinying Kingdom and the Longchuan water bandits successfully attacked Yuheng City for the first time, probably because of their experience. Later, such attacks on the city became one after another. Moreover, the Jinyang Kingdom harassed the border, and the Longchuan water bandits invaded the trade routes. The two sides cooperated tacitly.
, causing great losses to Yuheng City.
Panlong City had to send troops several times to help, hoping to help Yuheng City resolve the dilemma.
However, the Longchuan water bandits were well versed in the enemy's tactics of coming and going, so they deliberately avoided the Panlong City Army and the Gale Army, and launched a guerrilla attack in the water.
The following record made He Lingchuan even more stunned:
Bejia General Fu Shanlie gradually annexed the Takigawa bandits. The Xiqiao Old Army under his command became stronger and stronger, and could even compete with the officers and soldiers. The Xiqiao Old Army started by plundering caravans and attacking official patrol guards, and later developed into
They directly attacked towns and villages, set fire to them and killed them. It can be said that they were roaming around in the southern part of Xi'an, and everyone was talking about it.
In those years, Longchuan was a carnival mecca for bandits. The smell of wine floated in the water village every day, and people sharpened their knives every day. There were also a large number of desperadoes rushing from all directions to join in this feast of confrontation.
A few years later, that is, five years after Panlong City captured the Xiqiao Kingdom, it had to abandon Yuheng City and Xiqiao's old capital.
At this point, Panlong City gave up all Xiqiao's land and retreated to Panlong Wasteland again!
It's really a helpless move.
After He Lingchuan read it, his heart could not calm down for a long time.
How could the Taki River banditry cause such disaster?
He was experiencing that period of history in Panlong World. What was certain was that the banditry in Longchuan was just scabies in the beginning. No one thought that it would turn into a big hole behind it, which even Panlong City could not block.
As for Xiao Maoliang going deep into Longchuan to suppress 600 bandits, there are records of this in Yuheng City, and He Lingchuan also knows what happened. No matter how it is beautified, the army is a war machine and tends to solve problems with violence. He Lingchuan's attack on Panlong City
The more I know about the past, the clearer it becomes that neither Zhong Shengguang nor General Hong are merciful masters.
Means must serve the purpose.
And although the county annals and local clan histories both record the "Panlong Army", He Lingchuan knew very well that the army stationed in Yuheng City and the Qing Dynasty that suppressed Longchuan was not the Dafeng Army, or even the Panlong City Army, but Yuheng City absorbed the local Western forces.
The team formed by the Luo people and Changhou people was the Yuheng City Army.
Its training time is short, and its combat experience is far less than that of the Gale Army. Therefore, its combat power cannot be compared with the first two.
So is it possible that Panlong City will dispatch the Gale Army to station in Yuheng City to specifically suppress bandits?
I'm afraid it's not that simple.
Although there are no records in several books, He Lingchuan knew that Panlong City had been facing pressure from the west and the north. The Gale Army had to focus on protecting Panlong City. This was the base camp.
Even if Zhong Shengguang could dedicate part of his troops to Yuheng City, it would be a drop in the bucket and would not change the situation or affect the general trend.
In the end, you have to rely on your own bones to grow flesh, and Yuheng City has to find its own way to resist foreign aggression.
From the perspective of later generations, no matter what the reason was that Yuheng City failed to suppress the bandits, it had a very bad impact on the mother city of Panlong City. The gradual abandonment of the southern trade routes forced Panlong City to close its external connections.
, once again in a state of being surrounded by enemies on all sides and isolated and helpless.
I don’t know if Retsu Fushiyama was behind the Takigawa banditry, but he won that game.
Is Panlong City's final decline related to this incident? He Lingchuan couldn't say, but freezing three feet didn't last a day.
If these disadvantages and difficulties slowly accumulate, they will inevitably lead to qualitative changes.
So for him, for He Lingchuan who cheated to understand the historical process, what method can be used to reverse this situation?
The Takigawa banditry is indeed very complicated.
The geography is complex, the composition is complex, and the people's hearts are complex.
But can this complexity be used to his advantage in turn?
He Lingchuan is a little more ambitious:
Yuheng City in history was a failure.
If he can reverse this defeat, does it mean that Panlong City, which also ended in defeat, can have a different ending?
This temptation was too great for him.
Don't make jokes like "What's the use of changing illusory history?" illusory history cannot give him real Yuan Power, but Panlong City can.
If Panlongcheng could survive the disaster and change its destiny, what would it mean to him, to Dafanghu, and even to the real world?
Really been waiting.
Time passed little by little while he was thinking.
The night is dark, and Blackwater City is also falling asleep in the darkness.
…
He Chunhua was lying down in his clothes, about to fall asleep.
This is a habit he has developed recently during the war, which makes it easier for him to get up at any time.
He put down rebellions in the south, suppressed bandits, implemented policies, worked hard, and then marched westward without stopping, arriving at Blackwater City. The journey was bumpy, and he urgently needed a good rest tonight.
However, not long after he lay down, he sat up again, rubbed his eyes and closed the window.
Then he cast the barrier, placed the statue facing the east, and lit seven sticks of incense. He was quite skilled in this whole set of actions.
When the gray smoke condensed into blurry faces in the room, He Chunhua's voice was hoarse from not getting enough sleep:
"I've seen the God."
"Have you arrived at Blackwater City?"
"Yes. What are the instructions from the Lord?" He was too sleepy.
"He Lingchuan is already here?"
"Yes, I have to find a way to take him to Panlong Ruins, where abnormal phenomena occur frequently." He Chunhua briefly described the red light shining through the sky tonight.
But Nai Luotian asked very carefully and thought about it for a long time.
He Chunhua waited for a while, but saw no sound from it, so he had to take the initiative to ask: "Is there any problem?"
"When divine objects appear in the world, they often have strange phenomena." Nai Luotian said slowly, "But the movement was too big." It was too conspicuous.
He Chunhua suddenly became energetic: "In the opinion of the Lord, do we still want to go?"
"Go." Nailuo Tian said, "Tiangong may also send people there."
If it shrinks back, what if it really is a divine object that appears in the world, what if the big square pot falls into the hands of the Heavenly Palace...
He Chunhua was shocked: "What, Bejia also sent someone?"
"It's Tiangong, not Bejia." Nai Luotian corrected him, "There is a treasure missing from Zhaixing Tower, and it is related to the big square pot. Tiangong will not let go of this clue. They may have been here a long time ago."
If Tiangong also participates in this competition... He Chunhua composed himself: "What are our chances of winning?"
"You don't have to be afraid, Panlong Ruins is not Tiangong's territory." Nai Luotian smiled coldly, "Gu Panlong City and Tiangong are old rivals. The stronger the team sent by Tiangong, the more resistance they may encounter in the ruins or secret realm.
The bigger. Don’t be the first person, it’s better to let Tiangong step on the thunder first. Remember, your most important task is to choose the most appropriate time to summon me!”
