"You are all brothers of my Thunder Blade. If you can't be honest with me in front of me and speak your mind, then in this war that is related to the survival of the Western Wasteland, the Lei family army will lose. It's really true.
Defeated."
Lei Ren glanced at Han Ziqian and the four of them, and his words made Han Ziqian and others lower their heads in shame.
Lei Ren looked at Han Ziqian and said: "Lao Han, Ni Qiang, He Yang, Ouyang Lin, the four of you can be regarded as my close brothers, so in front of me, speak with confidence and don't have any scruples. I will never
I will take any offense you may have done to heart.”
Seeing that everyone was silent, Lei Ren continued: "Then, if you don't have any opinions, please express your opinions on my decision just now. I decided to withdraw the entire army, what do you think?"
Han Ziqian stood up first, bowed deeply to Lei Ren, and said: "Your Majesty, I finally admit my mistake. I did think too much before. Since your Majesty said so, Han Ziqian will definitely speak quickly and never delay.
, Han Ziqian will always be loyal to His Majesty for the rest of his life..."
"Old Han, you're here again, and you just said you shouldn't flatter me..." Before Han Ziqian could finish his words, Lei Ren interrupted.
Han Ziqian chuckled and touched his head: "These words sound a bit sour, and they do feel a bit flattering, but I swear, they are what I want to say most in my heart."
Lei Ren nodded repeatedly: "I believe you. Don't go too far and tell me what you think about my withdrawal. Time is running out."
"Retreating is undoubtedly the most correct decision."
Han Ziqian made the final decision, "At least for now, the terrain to the west of Qingshui River is not complicated. Even in positional warfare, we have no advantage. Therefore, if they cross the river to attack, we can only save ourselves by retreating, at least in terms of time.
We need to drag them to the western part of the Western Wilderness. The place where King Wu dragged us back is densely forested and full of dangerous peaks. When the time comes, hundreds of thousands of troops will fight, and the outcome may not be known."
"Moreover, in the dense forest, even if Luo Tiancai is a murderer, he can kill many people. As long as we don't confront him head-on, we can hide and seek in the forest and lead him around, and then another group of people will attack the King of Chu.
The Seven Harmonious Sons, when the time comes, it will be right for Luo Tiancai to be unable to look after each other."
Han Ziqian's insights were very pertinent. He could not defeat Luo Tiancai, so he could only use the topography to lure him away first, and then deal with the King of Chu and the Seventh Son of Feng.
Han Ziqian is much more confident in dealing with these two old guys. He is confident that 100,000 people can fight 200,000 people.
After listening to Han Ziqian's analysis, Lei Ren looked at Ni Qiang and others and asked, "What do you think?"
Ni Qiang said: "General Han is right. At least we can't confront Luo Tiancai head-on."
Ouyang Lin said: "It's a good strategy to divert the tiger away from the mountain. As long as we separate the two old guys Luo Tiancai and Chu Wang Fenghou, and then we defeat them one by one, we will have the possibility of victory."
He Yang said: "Yes, at that time, as long as the hundreds of thousands of troops of King Chu and the Seven Feng Sons were wiped out, a Luo genius would have exhausted his true energy. We would fight on wheels, with hundreds of thousands of people fighting on wheels, and then use various methods.
If you plant poison, Luo Tiantian will die!"
At this time, the retreat plan had been decided, so everyone was talking about what would happen after the retreat.
"Well, since everyone has no objection to the retreat, let's start the retreat now. Han Ziqian, you are fully responsible for the retreat. I only ask for two points. First, reduce losses; second, do not let the wind blow.
That old guy took advantage and left their city to burn public buildings and destroy various warehouses without harming innocent people, leaving them with a mess."
Hearing Lei Ren's order, Han Ziqian was overjoyed and nodded repeatedly: "Your Majesty, this arrangement is exactly what I want. I will make arrangements right away."
…
Han Ziqian only told a few senior generals about the retreat, and then everyone was able to withdraw to the west in batches.
According to the retreat plan submitted by Han Ziqian to Lei Ren, this retreat will directly retreat two hundred miles to the west and enter the dense mountain forests of the Western Wilderness.
The retreat point of the Lei Family Army is Longhu Pass, eight hundred miles away from Dahuang City. This city is the western barrier to Dahuang City, and is also a key point from the mountains to the plains and hills. Therefore, this city
A city must be defended.
Of course, the defense cannot be limited to Longhu Pass. There are six cities on the edge of the mountain forest to the east of Longhu Pass. Taking advantage of the terrain of the mountain forest, Han Ziqian also arranged defensive personnel.
This time, Lei Ren and Han Ziqian decided to use the steep mountains and forests of the Western Wilderness Forest to block King Chu, Feng Qizi and Luo Tiancai, and fight a long tug-of-war with them.
"Old Han, Chen Chao, Ni Qiang, I have a lot of elixirs here, and here are the sword manuals of Wuji Sword Technique. You can take them and take a look. I will tell you the key to practicing in a moment..."
In the mansion of the city lord of Haiyan City, Lei Ren shared his cultivation experience, cultivation elixirs, and some boxing techniques suitable for their cultivation, sword manuals, and defensive cultivation secrets such as the Nine Cauldron Magic Technique, all based on the individual's different cultivation levels and conditions.
, gave it to them.
Thirteen generals including Chen Chao, Han Ziqian, Ni Qiang, Ouyang Lin, He Yang, and Li Yunlong all received training help from Thunder Blade.
There are three of them, and they are basically all powerful people in the minor immortal position. Some of them are generals who are in the late stages of incarnation but have extremely high cultivation talents.
After the meeting, Lei Ren had just returned to his room when a guard came outside to report: "Your Majesty, General Mu is back and has come to see you."
"Xuan." Lei Ren said.
The "General Mu" mentioned by the guards was Mu Zongtian.
When Nanzhou Ouyang Lin rebelled and surrendered, Mu Zongtian also led troops to help Lei Ren.
However, since Mu Zongtian led his troops to surrender, although Lei Ren became the king of the wilderness and made Mu Zongtian a general, he has never met Mu Zongtian due to various reasons.
Lei Ren was sitting upright above me in the living room outside. At the entrance of the living room, three people slowly walked in.
Mu Zongtian, Mu Jingyun and Mu Qingyan.
Seeing the thunder blade above, Mu Zongtian immediately knelt down and said, "I will see your Majesty at last!"
"See Your Majesty!"
Mu Jingyun and Mu Qingyan also knelt down and saluted.
This kind of scene made Lei Ren feel a little bit different in his heart. After not seeing each other for many years, Mu Zongtian had a few more gray hairs on his head, but he still looked so energetic.
However, things have really changed this time. Lei Ren has gone from being a little person that Mu Zongtian looked down upon to becoming Mu Zongtian's king! His Majesty the Emperor!
