Zuo Chongming nodded: "The core strength of the Liansheng Sect consists of five guardians, four elders, two guardians, a saint, and the leader."
"Now that the leader is at Xiyun Mansion, you are the Zuo Envoy, Jiang Fenglong is the elder, Feng Heli is the protector, and Ouyang Yu is the saint..."
"After all, the core of the Liansheng Sect now only has four guardians, three elders, the right envoy Dian Mu, and the leader of the Liansheng Sect."
"That's right."
Lei Gong nodded slightly, and then added: "But the Liansheng Sect has been preparing for many years, and has attracted many masters through coercion and inducement, and has laid many secrets."
"I know."
Zuo Chongming took out a book from the spiritual ring and threw it to him: "Check it out and see if any of these secrets are missing."
"???"
Lei Gong and Jiang Fenglong were all stunned.
Are you kidding me? Do you know Anzi’s identity?
Could it be that... Ouyang Yu was right, Zuo Chongming really planted a nail among the top leaders of the Liansheng Sect?
With complicated emotions, the three of them gathered together and opened the book.
The more I look at it, the more surprised I become.
The more I watched, the more speechless I became.
The list of secrets recorded on it was more detailed than they knew...even some secrets were not clear to them.
After a moment of silence, Feng Heli and the others picked up their pens one after another, silently added a few names, and handed the book back to him, with expressions on their faces that were hard to describe.
Zuo Chongming asked quietly: "Where are the Mother Dian and those guardians and elders now?"
Lei Gong thought for a while and replied: "Dian Mu united with the barbarians to attack Congyun Mansion. Another elder, with the guardian, is attacking Chunhe Mansion."
Zuo Chongming was surprised: "Cong Yun Mansion? Fang Qian?"
"Um."
Lei Gong nodded: "Because of Sir, the Liansheng Sect has changed its plan and is targeting the three prefectures of Xiyun, Congyun and Chunhe."
Zuo Chongming understood their plan after just thinking: "The southern border wilderness?"
Judging from the map, these three prefectures are in the shape of a pin, with Xiyun Prefecture at the top, Congyun Prefecture and Chunhe Prefecture, both of which border the southern wilderness.
After the imperial court's reinforcements arrive, they will surely advance step by step from the border areas toward the southern wilderness areas to quell the rebellion.
As long as the Liansheng Sect moves quickly enough, they can firmly occupy the land of the Three Prefectures.
Then he reached a deal with the barbarian forces in the southern wilderness and used their experts to resist the imperial reinforcements.
By then, as long as the Three Prefectures cannot be conquered for a long time, the imperial court will gradually lose its dominance and will eventually be included in the wilderness of the southern border.
This was the result of the Liansheng Sect having to change its plan after Zuo Chongming made trouble.
Without his troubles, the Liansheng Sect's original plan would have been half of Jinyun Prefecture.
"That's right."
Lei Gong responded so quickly to him, I couldn't help but admire him.
After thinking for a while, he began to report another matter: "By the way, sir, I have found out the route of the rebels in Ping'an County."
"The rebels are led by Elder Chen. They are about a hundred miles away at this time. They will arrive in Ping'an County tomorrow evening and try to use internal and external cooperation methods."
Zuo Chongming glanced at him: "Do you agree with them internally and externally?"
Lei Gong muttered: "The leader of the church has specifically ordered me not to be exposed for the time being. Let you first... No, let Ji Changyun show up first."
"The plan is like this, let Feng Heli disguise Ji Changyun as you, open the city gates in the middle of the night, and let the refugees directly enter the city."
"When the truth is true and the false is true, unless you kill everyone in the city, you won't be able to clean up the Liansheng cultists who have sneaked in."
"Good plan."
Zuo Chongming narrowed his eyes: "It seems that the leader is still skeptical about Ji Changyun, so he wants him to submit a certificate of surrender."
Jiang Fenglong frowned and said: "Master Zuo, do you want to create an accident? Just say that during the process of pretending to open the door, the real owner happened to show up..."
He felt that the city gate should not be opened. It was like a dam. Once it was opened, it could not be blocked, and the consequences would be disastrous.
"Need not."
Zuo Chongming sneered: "The so-called rebels, I have never paid attention to them from beginning to end. They are nothing more than a bunch of rotten fish and shrimps. They can be wiped out with a flip of a finger."
"For me, the key to making Ji Changyun become the Holy Son through this incident is to win the trust of the leader, so let's go as planned."
"Didn't the leader ask Ji Changyun to open the city gate? Then open it, but whether the rebels can come in depends on their ability."
Touching his expression, Lei Gong and the others couldn't help but feel cold in their hearts, and their scalps twitched.
Why does this smile look so charming?
Zuo Chongming scratched his chin and asked lazily: "By the way, how many rebels are there?"
"Around hundreds of thousands? Millions?"
Lei Gong was also unsure: "But these are all people who are being held hostage. If we don't cooperate internally and externally, it is basically impossible to capture such an important city."
In an important city like Ping'an County, the city walls are more than ten feet high and are made of special iron and stone.
Based on the fighting power of the rebels, even if their number increased to four million, it would be extremely difficult to conquer Ping'an County.
The Liansheng Sect had won a series of battles before. To put it bluntly, there were spies inside, and there were experts responsible for sneak attacks. Only by cooperating inside and outside could they break the city.
"Millions of people?"
Zuo Chongming chuckled and suddenly asked them a question: "Have you carefully looked at the construction of Ping'an County's fortifications?"
"No."
Lei Gong shook his head.
"Ping'an County is an important city."
Zuo Chongming said calmly: "It is divided into two floors: the inner city and the outer city. There are urns at the gates on all sides, and there is a three-foot moat outside the city."
"There are spikes in the river, and you cannot swim through the gill net. Most people can only wait for the one-foot-thick city bridge to fall before they can cross the river and reach the gate of Wengcheng."
"Except for the defense of the city bridge, there is a one-foot-thick iron-wood gate at the entrance of the urn city, and a three-foot-thick forged steel gate that lifts."
"After passing through the Wengcheng, there is the outer city gate. Like the former, there are also ironwood gates and forged steel gates. The same is true for the inner city..."
"Gulu~!"
Cold sweat broke out on Feng Heli's forehead. Just listening to it made him feel an unspeakable sense of despair.
"There is a saying called "Please enter the urn."
Zuo Chongming said calmly: "The existence of Wengcheng is to lure the enemy in, then close the door and beat the dogs, and completely annihilate them."
"The walls on all four sides of the urn city are thickened, leaving holes for pouring poisonous gas. Under the stone slabs on the ground are hollow iron pipes that can be injected with kerosene for heating."
"The defenders can fire crossbows at the top of the wall, and at the same time lay a layer of poisoned iron barbed wire on the wall to prevent the enemy from climbing up the wall."
"There is a water outlet at the city tower, which is connected to the moat outside the city. There is poisonous powder in the middle pipe. Once the valve is opened, poisonous water can be injected..."
Speaking of which.
Zuo Chongming suddenly stopped and looked at them with a smile: "I will give you a test question. The wall of Wengcheng is about nine feet and five feet high."
"There are four urn cities in the four directions of Ping'an County. Once the twelve city gates are opened...how many corpses will be needed to fill them up?"
"..."
The three of them were stunned for a moment, and then took a deep breath, with deep horror on their faces.
If it were someone else who said this now, they would definitely regard it as a joke, but Zuo Chongming...
They have no doubt at all that the other party can definitely do this.
Let alone 100,000 people. As long as there are enough reasons, even if there are millions or tens of millions of people... Zuo Chongming would dare to take action.
"grown ups."
Jiang Fenglong frowned and asked in confusion: "If the county town is so heavily guarded, how could the Liansheng Sect break through dozens of cities in a short period of time?"
"Decapitation tactics."
Zuo Chongming curled his lips: "First kill the demon-suppressing envoys in the city, and then use hidden weapons to provoke them. The city will be in chaos and there will be no leader, and all defenses will be meaningless."
"At that time, as long as the city gate is opened, the inside and outside are closed, and there is no defender to initiate defense, the rebels will naturally drive straight in and attack Huanglong."
Lei Gong swallowed hard.
When he went to see the leader, he witnessed this scene with his own eyes, and it was exactly what Zuo Chongming said.
When the leader captured Xiyun City, if he had not killed the town envoy Long Haoyun, even if the number of rebels reached five million, it would be meaningless.
Zuo Chongming suddenly said: "Feng Heli."
"exist."
"Go to the rebels."
Zuo Chongming thought deeply and said: "Tell Elder Chen that Ji Changyun has doubts about the plan. Zuo Chongming may have been prepared for it, so the possibility of success is not high."
The three of them were stunned. Are you trying to expose yourself?
Which song is this from?
Can not Understand it.
Feng Heli couldn't help but be curious: "Sir, what is the profound meaning of this move?"
Zuo Chongming said quietly: "After this matter fails, the leader will definitely doubt Ji Changyun, and then you and Elder Chen can testify."
"Because Ji Changyun has already said that the probability of the plan's success is low, so this failure can only show that Zuo Chongming was prepared."
"In this way, the main responsibility is not Ji Changyun's, but the leader who made this plan. Ji Changyun's suspicion will naturally be eliminated."
"...Gan!"
The three of them looked at each other, feeling their heads swell.
I can understand every word of this sentence, but together... I can't understand it.
——
——
More than a hundred miles away, there were camps everywhere.
Men and women wearing white robes and holding swords and whips can be seen everywhere.
There is often a huge lotus pattern printed on the back of these people, which looks a little strange from a distance.
They often work in groups of two or three, guarding hundreds of homeless people who are listless, ragged, skinny, and numb.
Whenever these refugees make the slightest move, they will be harshly scolded and brutally whipped...
clang clang clang.......
The noisy and harsh sound of gongs suddenly sounded.
When the people heard this sound, their eyes couldn't help but light up, and they looked longingly towards the source of the sound.
Because this sound often means that it is a signal that you are about to eat.
Although they only have one bowl of gruel every day with wild vegetable leaves floating in the air and no corn, this is their only hope of survival.
"What are you doing? Sit down."
"be honest……"
But their commotion was quickly suppressed by the Liansheng cultists who were guarding them.
"Wow, wow..."
A loud and piercing cry suddenly broke the silence.
The baby's parents were frightened and hurriedly covered their child's mouth.
Seeing a Liansheng disciple looking over, my father couldn't help but tremble.
He quickly stopped in front of the child and begged for mercy in a trembling voice: "Your Majesty, the child is just hungry. He is hungry and has disturbed your Majesty. Please forgive me..."
