The monks left Liangzhou City one after another and continued to walk forward without moving, and their steps were extremely fast.
After walking for an hour and walking under a big tree, Hongchen suddenly stopped. He turned around and bowed respectfully to the approaching Green Leaf Buddha.
"Uncle Master."
When his voice fell, Qingye Buddha was already in front of him. Sensing the sharpness in his eyes, Qingye Buddha helplessly shook his head: "You and I have been destined, and today it's time to part ways."
The light in Hong Chen's eyes dimmed a bit, and he knelt down and bowed to the ground.
"Master's uncle's teachings and kindness are rekindled, and the disciples will never forget them."
"You choose your own path, I can't teach you." Qingye Buddha turned sideways and did not accept his bow, but asked: "Where do you plan to go now?"
Hongchen was silent for a long time, then uttered two words: "Jiangnan."
"Jiangnan?"
Hongchen nodded: "The land of fish and rice in the south of the Yangtze River is the land of prosperity for the empire. After years of war, the foundation of the south of the Yangtze River has not been shaken. The Rong people are ambitious and will definitely send their troops south after occupying Chang'an. It's better for the disciples to make arrangements early when they go to the south of the Yangtze River to deal with it.
Japanese war disaster."
Everyone has their own ambitions and should not be forced. Maybe it is not a bad thing if Cheng Dalei drives Hongchen out of Liangzhou today. Judging from Hongchen's intentions, he has already made plans in his heart and may not really help Cheng Dalei.
In this regard, Qingye Buddha couldn't say much, he just said: "Take care along the way."
Hongchen asked: "Where does Uncle Master plan to go?"
The green-leaf Buddha raised his head and looked to the east: "Chang'an."
A flash of surprise flashed in Hong Chen's eyes, and he said: "Uncle Master, we have already calculated, over and over again, Chang'an will be lost. If we enter Chang'an now, wouldn't we be asking for death?"
Qingye Buddha shook his head and smiled bitterly: "The poor monk was originally a minister of Emperor Ming. On the day Chang'an was conquered by the Righteous Sect, he should have been buried with Emperor Ming. He had lived in espionage for a few years, and now he is not going to die soon, so he used this old bone to serve as his ancestor.
The empire can help."
Hongchen raised his head and hesitated to speak. Then he saw that Qingye Buddha had already taken steps towards the east.
He stood up from the ground, looked at the Qingye Buddha who was going away, and then looked back at Liangzhou City, which was still in sight.
Thinking of Cheng Dalei's attitude, his expression became a bit ferocious, and he sighed: "Cheng Dalei, Cheng Dalei, today's humiliation will be remembered in my heart. You are not the only hero in this world, and it seems that in the world, who is the male and female."
With his eyes becoming clearer and firmer, he turned around and strode forward to his destination - Jiangnan.
When he left Liangzhou and passed through a small village, he bought a set of clothes, changed from Taoist clothes to Confucian clothes, and adopted the pseudonym Hong. He stole a horse in the middle of the night and rode it to the south of the Yangtze River.
…
In the study, Cheng Dalei, Xu Shenji, Liu Bei, and Cui Baiyu gathered together to discuss matters.
No matter what, Cheng Dalei must admit one fact: there is no one who understands in the entire Toad Village.
There are many warriors who are good at fighting, and there are also counselors who are good at strategies and come up with bad ideas. What is missing is a talent who can have an overview of the overall situation and have a big-picture perspective.
Needless to say Xu Shenji, Liu Bei's skills have not been fully utilized now. Cui Baiyu is good at planning in detail. She is a master of tactics, but not a master of strategy.
Others, such as He Shen and Yang Guozhong, also had political talents but were incapable of leading troops in war.
In this way, Na Hongchen is really the talent that Cheng Dalei lacks now. However, because of Lin Shaoyu's incident, he was driven away by Cheng Dalei, and Cheng Dalei did not regret this.
Now the four of them gathered together to analyze the battle situation in Chang'an and how Toad Village should deal with the next changes.
Cui Baiyu said: "In my opinion, Li Letian may not be able to defend Chang'an this time. The situation in Jingzhou is extremely complicated, with rich and powerful families and many 300,000 imperial guards deployed by them. Li Letian is the emperor of the empire.
, and may not be able to command. There are powerful clans that are holding back, and the Rong clan is so arrogant. If there are no accidents, Li Letian will definitely lose this battle."
Cheng Dalei nodded, agreeing with Cui Baiyu's view in his heart. He was more concerned about how the situation in the empire would change after the Rong tribe occupied Chang'an.
"Chang'an is the face of the empire. If its face is trampled on the ground, after this time, the empire may never stand up again." Liu Bei said: "The key is, after Chang'an is captured, what will the Rong people do next?
How will the princes react, and what should we do?"
Cheng Dalei suddenly felt a thump in his heart when he heard Liu Bei's words. Now it seems that Chang'an is already in the pocket of the Rong tribe, but what happens next... Once the Rong tribe takes over Chang'an and their momentum is at its peak, will the various princes be afraid of this trend?
, chose to surrender to the Rong tribe.
In this way, the Rong tribe may not have the possibility of taking over the world.
The situation is becoming more and more complicated, and it is by no means obvious to see how it will go in the future. Cheng Dalei shook his head and expelled the messy thoughts from his mind.
"Now I just hope that Li Letian can hold on for a little longer, at least to consume some of the Rong tribe's troops. If Chang'an really falls into the hands of the Rong tribe..." Cheng Dalei paused: "We take Sanshui Pass."
Sanshui Pass is the gateway to Jingzhou, and it can also be regarded as the gateway for Liangzhou to defend Jingzhou. The terrain of Liangzhou is flat and there is almost no danger to defend it. Once the Rong people occupy Chang'an, Cheng Dalei must hold Sanshui Pass in his hands.
You can attack, retreat and defend.
"Master, let's take down Sanshui Pass now." Xu Shenji said.
Cheng Dalei waved his hand: "Hey, Li Letian is already in trouble enough, let's not add fuel to the fire."
Now the situation in Chang'an City is extremely critical, and the Li family dynasty is in danger. However, there is actually not much pressure on Liangzhou. Even if the Rong tribe takes Chang'an, their next target will definitely be the rich Central Plains area. It will not be a barren but many soldiers.
Guangzhou Liangzhou.
As long as Cheng Dalei doesn't cause trouble, no one will dare to provoke him. This gives Cheng Dalei enough time to prepare to deal with the more complicated situation in the empire next.
This battle will not be accomplished overnight, nor will it be a battle over one city or one place. After all, Chang'an has a hoard of 300,000 Imperial Guards. No one can say how long the battle will last. It may last ten or eight years.
The four of them gathered in the study room to analyze the future direction of the situation. At this time, Cheng Dalei suddenly received a system prompt.
Du, the population of Shuofang City has exceeded 100,000, and the reward is Absolute Defense 1.
Cheng Dalei checked the system prompt he had just received. The task of expanding the population of Shuofang City had been taken over a long time ago, but it had never been completed. With this Rong invasion, a large number of refugees probably moved into Shuofang City. Now the population of Shuofang City has just reached
Breaking through 100,000. He checked the system reward he just received...
Absolute defense: Makes the user unable to be attacked within the range of one stick of incense. Number of uses: 1.
