The complexity of the situation in the Western Wilderness lies in the fact that there are too many forces involved.
After all, Xihuang is connected to major sects and gathering places of demons. For a long time, business here has been developed and the economy has been prosperous. All the powerful families here have already made a fortune one by one.
Therefore, the power controllers here will not give up their power easily.
The consequence of this was that when Emperor Wu rebelled and fled to the Western Wilderness border, Jiang Baitao, who was guarding here, blocked Emperor Wu and made it easy for him to join the Black Panther Army.
Immediately afterwards, the Seventh Immortal Emperor sent Du Zhenyang to Xihuang to suppress Emperor Wu together with Jiang Baitao. It seemed that the situation was good, but in the end, Du Zhenyang and Jiang Baitao saved their strength and let the local troops in Xihuang die.
The result of the battle with Emperor Wu was very obvious.
Not only did Emperor Wu fail to annihilate them, but the Western Wasteland border army suffered heavy losses, losing nearly 100,000 people.
The Seventh Immortal Emperor had no choice but to send troops again, asking Long Feihu to lead 180,000 people to come for reinforcements, and officially ordered Long Feihu to unified manage the military operations to wipe out the rebel party.
However, the ideal is very full, and the reality is very skinny.
After Long Feihu arrived in the Western Wilderness, his first large-scale war with the Black Panther Army was a disastrous defeat. The Fairy Dynasty lost a total of 160,000 people, while the Black Panther Army lost only 30,000 people.
Since then, the originally one-sided situation has instantly become confusing.
When Lei Blade's Lei Family Army swept across the Fire Eagle Legion in Nanzhou, the West Wasteland fell into tranquility.
On the one hand, the Black Panther Army was unable to counterattack, and Emperor Wu needed to recuperate and recruit troops. On the other hand, on the side of the Xianling Dynasty, Jiang Baitao, Du Zhenyang, and Long Feihu were vying for power. Each refused to accept his own, and began to fight among themselves.
Although the leaders of the Western Wilderness Border Army were determined to exterminate the rebels and restore peace to the Western Wilderness, their troops were too weak in combat effectiveness, and they suffered heavy casualties in the previous wars. In addition, they had no status or power, so they could only
I was just in a hurry, and in the end, I simply didn’t care.
Therefore, the situation in the Western Wilderness remains at a stalemate.
Emperor Wu, on the other hand, took advantage of this opportunity to continue to grow bigger. Lei Ren got the news that Emperor Wu had begun to unite with many sects in the Western Wilderness and let the disciples of those sects join his army.
On the other hand, it is rumored that Emperor Wu has been in contact with the Demon Clan. There is currently no response from the Demon Clan. But once the Demon Clan is willing to cooperate with Emperor Wu, then what it brings to the Western Wilderness Border Army will be fatal.
blow.
Once Emperor Wu succeeds in uniting the Xihuang Sect and the Demon Clan, even if the major forces of the Border Army unite, they will never be their opponents.
After analyzing the situation in Xihuang, Lei Ren summoned the five generals of Xihuang for a meeting on the second day after arriving in Xiliang City.
In addition to those three generals, there are also two local generals in Xihuang.
It's a pity that Lei Ren summoned three times in a row. The first time only two local generals came, the second time only one local general came, and the third time no one came at all!
After three meetings with no results, Lei Ren became furious. This time, he finally saw the temper of these wealthy generals. He thought they had the backing to do whatever they wanted!
"Boss, what should we do now? Those guys don't care about us at all."
Faced with this situation, Ni Qiang grimaced, and Chen Chao was helpless. Han Ziqian was a good fighter and a layman in politics. Otherwise, he wouldn't have had such a difficult time in the Fire Eagle Legion.
In the living room, several people were sitting on chairs, with disappointed expressions on their faces.
Han Ziqian was so angry that he slammed the table: "How can we fight in this situation? As soon as His Majesty's order came out, I knew that he was pushing our Lei family army into a pit of fire!"
"No, we are only asked to bring 50,000 people. The other five are at least 90,000 troops. We are the weakest. How can we control them? Alas, I really don't dare to speculate on what your Majesty's plan is.
." Chen Chao shook his head and sighed.
Ni Qiang frowned and said: "Is there anything bad to say? I've heard it a long time ago. Some people are worried that our boss will rebel with his own strength, so your Majesty came up with this strategy. Not only did he reduce General Lei's more than 300,000 people to only five
Thousands of people, and after sending us here, I don’t think he even thought about letting us go back alive. He still needs two years to wipe out the rebels, and I feel like hehe. This situation cannot be achieved in two lifetimes.
!”
Every word the three of them said to each other was like a grumbling woman.
However, after complaining, they had to face this reality. The three of them looked at Lei Ren, who had been silent.
"Lei Shuai, what should we do next?" Han Ziqian asked in a low voice.
Lei Ren kept lowering his head and thinking about the strategy. After much deliberation, if he didn't give these people a blow, he felt that it would be difficult for him to gain a foothold in the Western Wasteland.
It is said that there are three things a new official needs to do when he takes office. Since the Seventh Immortal Emperor gave him the power to lead the military and the power to kill first and report later, he didn't care and insisted on killing these people's breeze!
"Ni Qiang, you immediately send them another letter, requesting that they must arrive at Xiliang City for a meeting within three days. Sign the letter and directly warn them that if they fail to do so within three days, they will be beheaded in public!" Lei Ren stood up and said.
When Ni Qiang heard this, his face twitched and he said: "Boss, do you really want to behead your head in public? These people have higher official positions than you, and these people are very close to His Majesty. If we behead their direct officers, I'm afraid
imperial court
They won't let us go easily. Besides, those five generals are all in the city where they are stationed. Even if we want to chop off their heads, we have no chance. We are currently the weakest in the Western Wilderness.
An army..."
Ni Qiang's words expressed everyone's feelings.
However, Lei Ren didn't see it that way, and said seriously: "Just follow my words and send them out. If they don't come, I will definitely chop off their heads!"
"Then... okay, I'll send the letter right away."
…
After Lei Ren's strongly worded summons letter was sent out, two local generals rushed to Xiliang City the next day.
The other three generals came to Xiliang City almost unanimously on the third day.
When these three people entered the city, the scene was very grand, and they competed with each other, just like the nobles in the palace.
On the fourth day, the meeting hall of Xiliang City Lord’s Mansion.
Five generals, including Lei Ren, Han Ziqian, and Chen Chao, eight people sat around the rectangular table in the conference hall.
When the meeting started, no one spoke. The five generals were all doing their own things, cutting their nails, chatting in low voices, and drinking tea. They looked like they didn't take the three Thunder Blades seriously.
Thunder Blade suppressed the anger in his heart, broke the silence, and said sarcastically: "You guys are so generous, I had to ask for them four times before I could get them!"
