When the battle report of the Shengzhou battle reached Zhan Ying, it was already evening.
Zhan Ying has now entered Liaodong County, not far from Fengtian.
Wanyanku reported the battle report of the Shengzhou battle to Zhan Ying in a simple camp.
After Zhan Ying listened, he began to mark dots on the map.
Wanyanku had been with Zhan Ying for a long time, and he knew Zhan Ying's habits, so he just stood aside and didn't disturb him.
After a long time, Zhan Ying put down the charcoal pencil in his hand.
At this time, Wanyanku discovered that many arrow signs had appeared on the map.
Wanyanku is also a general, so he can naturally understand maps.
He said: "Commander, are you deducing the war at Niangziguan?
After this battle, Niangziguan no longer has an organized regular army. Why did you mark so many arrows?"
Zhan Ying said slowly: "Xu Kai, the coach of Niangzi Pass, used the method of dividing his troops to block the Heaven Realm. It was really naive. In a short period of time, all the stations outside Niangzi Pass were pulled out. It was also expected.
In today's Shengzhou battle, it seems that there are no more resisting troops outside Niangzi Pass, but this is not the case.
It is certainly impossible to mobilize the army from within the pass, but it can be mobilized from the periphery.
Hundreds of thousands of Northern Frontier Beast Riders and millions of Prairie Wolf Riders are currently gathering about two thousand miles northwest of Niangzi Pass.
We in northern Liaoning can completely go around to the north of Niangziguan through the grassland and contain the heavenly army.
Tianjie's tactics have been determined, and the main attack directions are Yumen Pass, Niangzi Pass, and Shanhaiguan Pass.
Yumen Pass guards the natural barrier, and there are Motian Cliff and Motian Ridge behind it. Yumen Pass is insurmountable to the Phantom in a short period of time.
Li Xianjing, the coach of Shanhaiguan, adopted a heavily defensive posture. Relying on the majestic pass of Shanhaiguan, he could hold on for a while.
Only Niangziguan is the only weakness in the world at present.
Originally, there were as many as 23 million defenders at Niangzi Pass, but Xu Kai divided his troops to garrison Datong, Xinzhou, and Taiyuan. As a result, he became a living target for the Celestial Destruction Legion.
Before the enemy attacked Niangzi Pass, Xu Kai had already lost more than six million of his elite troops.
Therefore, after the beginning of spring, our strategic goals cannot be limited to Liaodong and Northern Liaoning regions.
We still have to mobilize a large force and march to the northern Shanxi region to fight mobile warfare with the enemy on the front lines of Xinzhou and Taiyuan Prefecture to contain the Tianjie army attacking Niangziguan."
Wanyanku was a little confused when he heard this.
Said: "Although we can penetrate from northern Liaoning to northern Shanxi through the grasslands in the north,... the two places are too far apart. If we want to support, we must use cavalry. We simply do not have the strength to help Niangzi Pass.
Fight."
Zhan Ying said: "Didn't God Emperor Fuso send word that he is raising the thirty million taels of silver I need?
Northern Liaoning is vast and rich in resources, and the three countries in Liaodong are relatively abundant in materials. We are not very nervous in terms of materials.
I plan to use the 30 million taels of silver I raised to do business with the great chanyu of the grassland. This is why I transferred you here.
Thirty million taels of silver are used to buy five million prairie war horses. The grassland is now extremely short of food. I believe that the Great Chanyu will definitely agree to this deal and use this silver to buy food in China.
However, war horses are now military supplies and are monitored by the imperial court. This requires General Wanyan to mediate.
As long as these five million war horses are in place, the north of the Great Wall will be my home court."
Wanyanku's eyes widened.
Now he finally understood why Zhan Ying didn't ask Fusang for men, food, or women, but instead asked for a lot of useless money.
It turned out that before Zhan Ying left the capital, he had already started planning to use Fuso's money to buy war horses on the grassland.
Now the people in the grasslands and the Western Regions have retreated to the Blackwater River, and food is in very short supply.
Yu Jizi now controls the imperial court and prevents the imperial court from giving a grain of grain to the Western Regions. Under this situation, if the Western Regions want to obtain grain, they can only buy it from grain merchants in the Central Plains.
People who have made it difficult for the country to make money have never been cut off from ancient times to the present. As long as they can afford the price, no matter how strict the government regulates food, there will still be people who take risks and smuggle food and sell it to the people in the Western Regions.
From then on, most of Zhan Ying's strategic plans were informed to Wanyan Ku.
Zhan Ying's ambitions were very great. He could only command the northern and eastern Liaoning regions as shown by his title.
However, Zhan Ying had long guessed that Niangziguan would become the only weak point in the human defense line, and had long planned to extend his hands from Liaodong to the grasslands and northern Shanxi.
Although he could not prevent the Heavenly Army from conquering Niangzi Pass, he could delay the Heavenly Army from conquering Niangzi Pass to a certain extent.
Zhan Ying felt that as long as Niangziguan could hold on until next winter, there would be hope for a comeback in the world.
At the same time, Southern Xinjiang was dead.
Nangong Bat stood on the edge of a swamp, with thirty goddess corpses neatly placed beside her.
Nangong Bat is a cautious woman. When she learned that thirty female disciples had lost contact, she immediately mobilized the Goddess Cult to start searching.
After two days of searching, I finally found them in this miasma.
However, each of them turned into a cold corpse.
In the past two days, many bodies have been eaten by poisonous insects and wild beasts in the dead lake, and they no longer look like they are.
But the cause of death of these people can still be discovered.
Ye Bixin said: "Lord, these disciples have holes the size of fists in their hearts. They were pierced through the heart and died instantly.
If I guessed correctly, the magic weapon used by the opponent was a spear, and judging from the wounds, there was only one person on the opponent.
The corpses surrounded the man in a circle, but there were no signs of a fight around them.
It can be seen that this man's Taoism is extremely high. Before any of the disciples could react, he shot through the hearts of the thirty disciples who surrounded him."
Dugu Fengyue said: "If these disciples stand together, it is possible for a master to shoot through the heart.
However, these disciples stood scattered and surrounded each other. There was only one person on the other side. How could they kill everyone in an instant?
Even Sect Master Ye Xiaochuan probably doesn’t have such speed."
Nangong Bat didn't speak, but had a gloomy look on his face.
At this moment, a middle-aged woman came over and saluted: "Honored Lord, I have made an discovery."
Nangong Bat and others soon arrived at a stone gate on the hillside of a nearby mountain.
When Nangong Bat saw this stone door, his expression suddenly changed.
She didn't need to walk in to know where the stone door led to.
Yin-Yang Road! The place where the Nine Yin gathers! This is the memory of her first life Yang Fengxian.
After living in the human world for so many years, Nangong Bat naturally knows that this yin and yang path is in the hands of the demon sect Ghost Xuanzong.
Nangong Bat's first thought was that the masters of Gui Xuan Sect were the ones who killed his thirty disciples.
Immediately, she denied this speculation.
The only master of Guixuanzong who can kill thirty disciples in an instant is Ye Xiaochuan, who practices the law of wind and possesses the wings of the demon.
But Ye Xiaochuan is not a murderous person.
What's more, Ye Xiaochuan used a sword, not a spear.
Based on Yang Fengxian's memory, Nangong Bat thought of another possibility.
That is this Yin-Yang Road, connecting the Sea of Forgetfulness.
There is an ancient, mysterious and very powerful race in the Sea of Forgetfulness, the Pangu clan! Based on the place where the human cultivator died mysteriously two days ago, Nangong Bat instantly realized that the perpetrator might be a master of the Pangu clan.
