Lu Hanjiang decided to let Huashan go, not only because he wanted to kill people with a borrowed knife, but also because he really didn't have enough manpower.
Wuyue is not a small sect. On the contrary, they have been standing in the world for many years. In terms of their underlying strength, not everyone can figure it out.
Shunting the tiger away from the mountain is the best way to get rid of them all at once. The five mountains have been fighting among themselves for many years, and the problem exposed is very obvious, that is, the top combat power is seriously insufficient.
Basically, there are no people below the head who can hold up the banner. Of course, this is also related to the chaotic war at Wandaomen and Wuyue's own internal strife.
It can be said that the Wuyue Sword Sect is at its weakest at this stage. Lu Hanjiang took advantage of the emptiness of the Five Sacred Sects in the Five Mountains Conference, but even so, the manpower is indeed not enough.
To deal with the three major factions separately at the same time, we have to ensure that they are done swiftly. The manpower and material resources spent are extremely huge. More importantly, Lu Hanjiang cannot mobilize the strength of the entire Jin Yiwei.
The Jinyiwei are responsible for monitoring the court and suppressing the Jianghu. If all the people scattered in various places are recalled, a major chaos will inevitably occur.
Therefore, at this stage, the only people Lu Hanjiang can mobilize are his own people from Beizhen Fusi. He picks and pieces and pieces together. It is already rare to win Mount Hengshan, Songshan and Taishan in one fell swoop.
For Huashan, if you want to truly capture it, you will need to mobilize more than two thousand households. Lu Hanjiang believes that Shang Jidao is worth the price.
As for himself, of course, it is about his combat power. Lu Hanjiang has never been a person who likes to go all out. Fishing in troubled waters is almost an inseparable part of his life.
It's true that he wants to stir up chaos in the world and let Jin Yiwei profit from it, but to travel around and do it himself... obviously he has no interest in that.
In the final analysis, the reason why Lu Hanjiang appeared here was purely because he thought it was fun. As a Wudang disciple, he found it interesting to disturb the situation in the Five Sacred Mountains, nothing more.
But for Huashan, it was impossible to say that he had no interest at all. Lu Hanjiang really admired Shang Jidao, but it was also impossible to say that his interest was so great that he had to come to deal with him personally.
Generally speaking, it is still the difference in concepts between the two generations of Jin Yiwei.
In Meng Yuan's era, the old man was so focused that the subordinates he promoted were all strong men who could take charge of their own affairs, and they were just short of being able to compete with the major leaders of the world.
At that time, the Jinyiwei were very powerful and followed the elite route, relying on the unparalleled strength of the top few. If you don't accept it, you will be beaten until you accept it.
But now it's Lu Hanjiang's stage, and he is more powerful. Rather than being aggressive, he likes to stab someone in the back. Instead of punching the opponent with his fists, he prefers to use eighteen kinds of weapons to say, "Times have changed."
Conquer the enemy's army without fighting.
Lu Hanjiang and Meng Yuan's styles are very different. The old man wants to kick out all the trash in the atmosphere team who can only roll on the ground. It would be best if his subordinates are all peerless masters, and each one slaughters one sect, so that everyone in the world will be afraid.
But Lu Hanjiang thinks exactly the opposite. He never pursues the elite route. Instead, he prefers to completely overwhelm the opponent in terms of numbers. So what if there are peerless masters? If one Jin Yiwei can't deal with it, he can use ten of them, and if ten can't handle it, he can use a hundred.
Lu Hanjiang, who pursues the policy of large-scale control and full control, has only a handful of elites under his command. Yan Feng, Zeng Hong and others were all promoted by Meng Yuan back then, so they can barely use them to deal with Jianghu.
Master.
Others, such as the deputy Qianhu Bianguang and others he promoted, or Ying Wushang, who was just promoted to Qianhu, are more or less weak compared to the important first-class masters in the world.
This is why Lu Hanjiang wants to use other sects in Jianghu to deal with Huashan. Firstly, he really likes to kill people with borrowed knives, and secondly... he really doesn't have enough manpower.
But this is all a digression. Nowadays, the entire world is calm on the surface, but in fact there are turbulent undercurrents. When everyone's eyes are focused on Wudang and Xuantian Sect, the nightmare of the five mountain sects has just come.
After trapping the head of the Five Sacred Mountains and all the insiders on Feng Tianya to death, the Jin Yiwei immediately flew to all directions, and a war had just begun.
The person responsible for attacking the Hengshan Sect was Qianhu Yanfeng. He was the first to receive the news and the first to take action.
Relying on the absolute advantage in terms of numbers and strength, it only took him one night to almost annihilate the Hengshan sect. Shi Jiuning was not in the sect and only a few elders were worshiping him, so he could not stop the Jinyiwei army.
All the disciples of the Hengshan Sect had their acupuncture points sealed and were driven to the dangerous peaks of the mountain to be imprisoned. Yan Feng did not kill them all. What Lu Hanjiang said about taking them down was really taking them down, instead of asking them to come and kill them randomly.
If it was just for massacre, how could there not be enough manpower? The reason why such a large number of men were sent was to get as many living people as possible.
After a busy night, they finally cleaned up. Two hundred households led Yan Feng to the place where Hengshan disciples were imprisoned. Seeing that the visitor was very imposing, a middle-aged woman among the disciples stood up and asked:
"How dare you attack the Hengshan sect? Who are you?"
Yan Feng glanced at her and said calmly: "We are guests invited by Huashan."
This time, Lu Hanjiang, the Jinyi Guards Officer, gave him a rule, that is, he could only reveal his identity to the dead.
After hearing what Yan Feng said, the woman immediately refuted: "Senior Brother Shang has no fight with the world, how could he invite you people to attack our Hengshan Sect!"
"Whether you believe it or not, it has nothing to do with me."
Yan Feng's eyes were slightly cold and he said coldly: "I just want to ask, if Huashan assumes the position of leader of the Five Mountains Alliance, does Hengshan have any objections?"
"Leader of the Five Sacred Mountains?!"
The woman raised her eyebrows and shouted: "Absolutely impossible! Huashan resorted to such despicable means to force us to submit, regardless of the friendship of the same people, and actually..."
boom!
Before the woman finished speaking, Yan Feng slapped her heart with his palm, and with a burst of blood mist floating away, the woman fell straight backwards.
"Uncle!"
It took a long time for the disciples of Hengshan to react. I don't know who screamed. The disciples immediately lifted the woman who fell to the ground and felt for her breath that had disappeared. When they raised their heads again, everyone's eyes were filled with hatred.
, and fear.
Yan Feng's indifferent eyes swept across them and landed on another older disciple. He pointed at her and said, "You, come here."
The woman who was hit trembled slightly, but she still held her breath and stepped forward. She raised her head, and after hesitating for a moment, she said: "I, a disciple of Hengshan, would rather die than surrender, and there is no way I would join the ranks of despicable people like you -"
boom!
Yan Feng slapped her again mercilessly, and the woman's body shook a few times and fell backwards.
"Uncle Master!"
The disciples were so frightened that they came forward to protect the woman's body. This time, few of them dared to raise their heads and look at Yan Feng with hatred.
"Keep an eye on them." After killing two people in a row, Yan Feng stopped taking action for the time being. Boiling frogs in warm water was the most annoying thing.
After Yan Feng left, hundreds of households accompanying him came up and asked: "Sir, now we are using the name of Huashan to ask them to surrender. Even if we make them surrender for a while, they will inevitably rebel in the future. Why do we have to do this thankless task?"
life."
"To deceive others, to put on a big show."
Yan Feng stood at the wind outlet on the mountain, looking at the beautiful scenery of Hengshan Mountain with his hands behind his hands. He said calmly: "The rivers and lakes are so big, there are so many sects, and there are so many people. They will never be able to kill them all. The only way is to let them come out to kill each other.
Only Jin Yiwei can achieve the greatest benefits."
