South of Pengcheng County, on the bank of Luliang Mountain.
A continuous army of evil spirits like clouds marched along the road, and the dust was like a dragon in the sky.
Pengcheng is such an important city that it cannot be captured in a short time. No matter which side's soldiers come to the scene, they will have to go through a bloody battle.
Unless the forces within the city take the initiative to offer the city, the Wei army and the Wei army are marching in a hurry, but they will not forcefully march, not even for a moment.
"Madam, what is the situation in Pengcheng now?"
While riding with the army, looking at Pengcheng from a distance, the commander of the army on this road, Luo Wuhou and Luowu Town General Luo Shixin, looked at Mrs. Tulip, the strategist who was accompanying the army beside him, and asked.
"Currently, the eight major forces in Pengcheng, the Xi family, the Lang family, the Tiandu Sect and the Wan Ax Gang, have not yet expressed their stance. Those who support us and those who support the enemy are still divided equally!"
Mrs. Tulip calmly reported the report, paused, and added: "If there is no accident, the situation in Pengcheng will not be clear until our army arrives in Pengcheng. Even if the enemy army arrives first, the Peng family and Nemo Temple will resist for a while and a half.
At this moment, enough of our strong men and elites have arrived! Of course, the enemy's situation is similar!"
"Well! It's such a matter of life and death. It's normal for the forces in the city to be unable to decide for a while!" Luo Shixin breathed a sigh of relief and nodded.
At this time, Luo Shixin, after years of fighting in the north and south, as well as being in a high position for a long time and improving his cultivation, the honest and honest temperament in the past has dissipated a lot, and he appears to be quite calm and majestic. He is no longer the ignorant and naive person who got up early in the morning.
Boy.
"Report! Sir, the envoy from Pengcheng is asking for an audience..."
Not long after, a Luo Wu Jingwei came to report.
After a while, he brought four people over. Looking at the clothes and auras, they should belong to the Xi family, the Peng family, representatives of the Tiandu Sect and the Nemo Temple, all of whom were in the God Refining Realm.
"See Luo Wuhou!"
After a brief greeting, the people headed by the representative of the Xi family directly stated the purpose of their visit.
"Reporting to Marquis Luo Wu! For the sake of you, Pengcheng, and even the people of Pengcheng, the thirty-six forces in our city headed by the eight major forces have unanimously decided. I hope that your army and the army of Wei will take pity on the ancient city of Pengcheng and the city
The life and death of the people..."
In short, the army of Li State and the army of Wei State were allowed to bypass Pengcheng to decide the outcome. Whichever side wins, Pengcheng will surrender to that side.
Of course, there is a follow-up. If one side takes the lead in attacking the city, then Pengcheng will surrender to the other side. Even if the situation is ruined or destroyed, there will be no hesitation. At the same time, if Pengcheng surrenders to the other side, it will be enough to hold on until the other side enters the city!
"What do you think, madam?"
Luo Shixin was stunned and looked at Mrs. Tulip for advice.
Today's Luo Shixin is considered well-informed and wise. However, Luo Shixin has always felt that he is a "hero" who does not use his hands and brains. He is very self-aware and will humbly accept the opinions of the army or his staff. As Mrs. Tulip,
Naturally, Luo Shixin respects Ce Tianfu's Tian strategists and Liguo elders even more!
"This method is acceptable. But... you are an alliance force, how can you ensure the feasibility of this matter?"
Mrs. Tulip thought for a while, nodded slightly, looked at the leader of the Xi family and asked.
The representative of the Xi family smiled and responded: "With your country's strength and power, even the Eastern Capital cannot stop your country's assassination, which seriously injured the king of Tang and his eldest son. If we were deceived and angered your country, even if we surrender to Wei
The country can’t stop your country’s revenge, can it?”
After a pause, he quickly continued: "Of course, this conclusion is that thirty-six forces in Pengcheng have jointly signed and supported it. No force will regret it, otherwise there will be no foothold in the future?"
"Oh? That makes sense. In that case, why don't you just invest in our country directly? Why bother?"
Mrs. Tulip sneered and asked naturally.
"These are two different things. Even if any force is willing to surrender to your country, what will happen if Pengcheng temporarily falls into the hands of Wei?" Representative Xi asked naturally.
Mrs. Tulip smiled, without comment, but looked at Luo Shixin.
"Yes! I hope you will keep your word, otherwise... I will definitely level any force!"
Seeing that Mrs. Tulip had no objection, Luo Shixin responded readily. The representatives of the four forces breathed a sigh of relief and thanked her to leave.
"There are talented people in Pengcheng who can come up with such an idea and get the approval of all the forces. It's not easy!"
Watching the four representatives leave, Mrs. Tulip praised them repeatedly.
"You are a typical loser who seeks wealth through danger. What's admirable? No matter how this battle ends, I'm afraid it won't be easy for them."
Changsun Wuao, who was awarded the rank of sixth-grade general and followed the army on this journey, spat rather disdainfully.
"Pengcheng is a famous ancient city. There are not a few forces with long-standing roots. They have their own methods of continuation and self-preservation. Given the current situation, this is the best choice!"
Changsun Wuao's status was quite special. Mrs. Tulip didn't want to offend him for no reason, so she just reminded him calmly as if she was stating the facts.
"It's really good! This prevents the ancient city of Pengcheng from being crippled by the war and having to be repaired after the war. It can also save the lives of countless people in the city, and it can also maintain the integrity of various orders in the city to the greatest extent!"
Luo Shixin nodded and agreed with admiration on his face.
Although Luo Shixin is warlike, he doesn't like to destroy, and he still retains his innocent heart, or he is kind.
Changsun Wuao shook his head disdainfully and spat: "What a joke! What qualifications does Pengcheng have to command our army? Furthermore, with this precedent, what will happen if all the forces in the city follow suit in the future?"
Mrs. Tulip and Luo Shixin, as well as some people present, shook their heads slightly, but remained silent, and no one refuted Changsun Wuao.
Changsun Wu'ao's idea cannot be said to be completely wrong, but it is just a bit arrogant.
The current situation is, after all, a special situation. It can be called a "two dragons seizing the pearl" situation. If there is a slight mistake, the pearl will be destroyed and everyone will die.
It is impossible for other cities to follow suit. Changsun Wuao is unfounded!
It can be said that this is the most beneficial idea for Pengcheng's forces under the influence of many factors.
Of course, the last point is that if the Li State army disagrees and the Pengcheng forces surrender to the Wei State army, then the gains outweigh the losses. The same is true for the Wei State army, so the person in Pengcheng who came up with this idea is indeed a capable person!
A few days later.
Luo Wujun and the Wei army camped in the countryside beside Pengcheng and started a confrontation.
The ancient city of Pengcheng, dozens of miles away, looked like a crowd of onlookers, which was quite strange.
For more than half a month, the two sides fought one battle for three days and one small battle every day. There were casualties on each other, but it became a stalemate.
The forces in Pengcheng were a little dumbfounded.
In terms of overall strength, it is true that the Wei army is superior and has more troops.
In terms of elite combat power, Li Guo has Luo Wujun and Luo Shixin, but Wei has Pushan Gongying, which is about the same. However, Li Guo has more powerful people, especially big monks.
At the same time, the other two armies of Xia and Beiyan also faced off at Xiapi and Donghai in the east, and it was difficult to tell the winner.
Li Tang's forces returned to Huainan County in time and were not cut off, which can be considered a blessing among misfortunes.
At this point, the battle lines between the two camps are clear!
