In Tianyun Prefecture, at the border of Tianhaimen, in the camp, the Zifu and the head of Tianhaimen and Hongshanmen and other senior officials were having urgent discussions. They had received the latest news from Danyang Sect.
"The Danyang Sect won, paying a price of more than a thousand people, and at least more than 3,000 people in Ninghe Prefecture were wiped out. Excluding the casual cultivators, two-thirds of the forces in Ninghe Prefecture were either destroyed or trapped.
Hezhou is finished”
"I asked why there are fewer and fewer people on the opposite side today. What did the Danyang Sect say?"
"What else can you say? Let us contain the other side. We need to contain at least 2,000 people on the front line."
"Two thousand people. As they can tell, we only have a few people. Aren't we afraid that Qingshan County will use the power of the whole state to attack our camp and even Tianyun Prefecture will be affected?"
"Qingshan County doesn't have the guts. Although Tianyun Prefecture has suffered a lot of losses, not a single Zifu on our side has died. Bishui Pavilion doesn't dare to die with them. If we really do that, the fruits of the three prefectures will have to be picked by others.
Walk"
Zhao Lun, the head of the Tianhai Sect, replied that the three states are not independent, there are also states and counties behind Qingshan County. If the three states were to perish together, they would not be polite.
"Then what should we do? Do we really want to take the initiative to attack?"
"That won't work. The casualties are not from the Danyang Sect. It depends on the situation. When there are more than a thousand people on the opposite side, we will take some action. We will ignore the rest."
Chen Zonggao, head of the Hongshan Sect, shook his head. The Danyang Sect has a great cause and it doesn't matter if hundreds of people die. The elite are still there and their status remains unchanged. But how many people do they have in the Hongshan Sect?
Chen Zonggao's proposal was unanimously approved by everyone. None of them were willing to fight for the Danyang Sect. In this war, the two sects actually received the least benefits. Without benefits, no one was willing to move.
While the two sects were discussing, in the Bishui Pavilion camp twenty miles away, Zhu Weicai, the head of Bishui Pavilion, was watching groups of people quietly evacuate. They took advantage of the darkness and did not fly over in the air, slowly moving from the ground.
Walk slowly so no one knows.
"How many people have left?"
"Back to the leader, there are 1,200 people, and there are still about 1,800 in the camp now."
"Let's go, 800 people, tonight"
"Ah, Master, only a thousand people are left. Isn't this too dangerous?"
"Don't worry, Tianhaimen and Hongshanmen are not fools, and they can't risk their lives for Danyang Sect. If it weren't for precaution, five hundred people would be enough."
Zhu Weicai shook his head. Starting tomorrow, the offensive and defensive situation here will also change. Bishui Pavilion will be on the defensive, so it doesn't matter if there are fewer people. The remaining people have to support the Ningshui faction to break out of the encirclement, otherwise the Ningshui faction will be
Once the Ningshui Sect was wiped out, the Bishui Pavilion was almost gone.
"Yes, leader"
The man replied, and quickly went to count the troops and sent reinforcements to support Ninghe Prefecture.
"Zhu Weicai, why don't you gather all your strength to break through the Tianhaimen camp, sweep Tianyun Prefecture, and force the Danyang Sect to retreat?"
"Ancestor, I have also thought about this idea, but ancestor, none of the Zifus on the Danyang Sect are dead. What if the Danyang Sect leads an army to go to war with Qingshan County? If the fight continues, all three states will die together."
Zhu Weicai faced the furious Chen Laozu and could only carefully explain that this idea was not mentioned by anyone, but he rejected it.
"Zhu Weicai, you idiot, once Tianyun State takes over that Xuanjing Mine, how can our Bishui Pavilion compare with others? In less than thirty years, we will follow in the footsteps of the Ningshui Sect, do you know?"
"Ancestor, don't worry, I have also thought about this idea. As the leader of Bishui Pavilion, I will never let this happen."
"What do you mean, Zhu Weicai, please tell me clearly. If you can't explain clearly, you can stop being the leader."
"Yes, Ancestor, I received news that the Ningshui Sect was defeated, and more than a thousand people were left trapped in the border camp, while the Danyang Sect sent troops to plunder everywhere. Now our Qingshan County troops went to rescue the siege.
But ancestor, now Ninghe Prefecture is in chaos, some towns and cities have been attacked, who knows who did it?"
"you····"
Old Ancestor Chen was immediately shocked, and felt chills in his heart. Zhu Weicai's words made him completely understand what was going on. Qingshan County was trying to take advantage of the situation, and it had to throw the blame on Danyang Sect. It was a vicious plan. These
No one in charge is good.
"Zhu Weicai, you are so cruel"
"Ancestor, there is a common saying that kindness to the enemy is cruelty to oneself. Ninghe Prefecture is not one of our own. Although Danyang Sect has defeated Ningshui Sect, it is unable to occupy it, but they have no strength. We
have.
It will take at least thirty years for Danyang Sect to develop the power to destroy Bishui Pavilion, but we, Bishui Pavilion, are not vegetarians. We just wait for them to destroy us. We occupy Ninghe Prefecture and absorb their nutrients so that we can protect ourselves.
, now that we have the Kaifu Pill, it is not certain who will win thirty years from now."
Zhu Weicai said calmly, "If you are not ruthless, how can you be the leader, or the leader who controls a whole county? If you do nothing if you know that you will be waiting for death in the future, then you are the real fool."
Now that the Ningshui Sect has become weak and settled, they will eat the fat meat of Ninghe Prefecture if they don't eat it. They might as well eat it and invest the profits gained into the sect. In a few decades, who will
It is not certain who will live or die.
"I know, just do it this way, do it cleanly, and don't let others take advantage of it."
Old Ancestor Chen sighed. He knew that Ninghe Prefecture was completely finished, and Ningshui Sect was also completely finished. Next time, Bishui Pavilion would have to face Danyang Sect alone, so he knew that this was an immoral act, so he could only
He acquiesced because he didn't want Bishui Pavilion to follow in the footsteps of Ningshui Sect.
Three days later, two thousand reinforcements from Qingshan County entered the territory of Ninghe Prefecture. However, what frightened the Ninghe Prefecture monks was that the people from Qingshan County also came with bad intentions. They also treated those sect families who did not follow suit.
They directly started looting, but for the ten major sects in Ninghe Prefecture, they chose extortion.
Yes, it is extortion. They ask for military expenses in the name of sending troops and force them to give out expensive spiritual objects. Otherwise, Bishui Pavilion will not be able to control the discipline of the other sects in Qingshan County.
The garrison strength of each sect was extremely weak, less than one-third of the usual strength, and could not stop Qingshan County's attack, so they had no choice but to agree and hand over the finances with great frustration.
In this way, the men and horses of Qingshan County extorted and looted all the way, and the speed was slower than Danyang Sect expected. It took another seven days to arrive at the border area and set up a camp on the other side of the two states' camps.
Confronted.
At this time, the border area of Tianyun Prefecture, within a radius of fifty miles, gathered most of the elites from the three prefectures. The number of monks exceeded 5,000, and there were also 5,000 people sleeping here.
The appearance of the Qingshan County army made the Ningshui sect rejoiced, but the Danyang sect was unwilling to let the Ningshui sect withdraw unharmed, so various small-scale battles began.
At this time, there were more than 2,000 monks in the Danyang Sect camp, while there were less than 1,000 monks in Ninghe Prefecture, and the Qingshan County camp was only about 2,000, two thousand versus three thousand. The Danyang Sect carried the power of the great victory.
It's not like there's no chance of winning.
··········
"Kill, brothers, charge me"
"Kill them all and charge"
Between the Danyang Sect camp and the Qingshan County camp, more than a dozen monks were fighting fiercely. There were people in both camps silently observing.
This was a fight between the two sides' scouts. Both sides were a little unfamiliar with each other, so they were cautious not to break out into a war. Instead, they wanted to find out the strength of the other side, so they kept sending people to investigate, and the scouts from both sides started fighting.
Within a few days, dozens of people were killed and injured on both sides, and the scene was extremely bloody.
"I just received news from our secret agent that Qingshan County is behind Ninghe Prefecture and is doing the same thing as us."
"What do you want to do by plundering Ninghe Prefecture and Bishui Pavilion?"
Qi Sheng's words made many elders panic. They couldn't feel the slightest joy as to what Bishui Pavilion was doing, and they didn't think it was an act that broke up their alliance.
"Bishui Pavilion probably gave up on Ninghe Prefecture and felt that they were no longer reliable, so they decided to carve up Ninghe Prefecture."
"I didn't expect Zhu Weicai to be so ruthless. Leader, what should we do? Our goal in the next stage is to defeat Bishui Pavilion."
"There is no hope. Bishui Pavilion is now difficult to fight."
Qi Sheng shook his head. Their strategic target had never been just the Ningshui faction. The reason for surrounding the Ningshui faction was to encircle the Ningshui faction for reinforcements and keep the elites of the Bishui Pavilion, but that was no longer possible now.
Bishui Pavilion's behavior has shown that they will not fight to the death with Danyang Sect, and since they have snatched so many good things, their strength will inevitably increase dramatically. On the other hand, Danyang Sect has consumed countless amounts, and Danyang Sect is even weaker than Bishui Pavilion.
"But what about Tianhaimen? We promised, but now that the strength of Bishui Pavilion has skyrocketed, they are the first to refuse."
"So what if I don't agree? The worst I can do is give them more benefits when the time comes. They have no right to make the decision on this matter."
"Okay, Master, what should we do now? It's not a problem for the three families to confront each other like this. The consumption is too great. Our previous preparations are almost exhausted."
"Wait a little longer, there are too many people from the Ningshui Sect, let them go at most 500 people."
"Will Bishui Pavilion agree?"
"Yes, I will write two letters later and send people to the camps on both sides."
Qi Sheng nodded. Bishui Pavilion had done such a great job. They definitely didn't want many people from the Ningshui Sect to return. There were almost five hundred people. With the manpower they had guarding the sect, it was estimated that the Ningshui Sect still had more than a thousand people.
people.
But it is useless to have more people. Most of the elites of the Ningshui Sect were killed or injured, and countless resources were consumed. There was nothing left after decades of accumulation. The previous plundering had destroyed the financial resources of the Ningshui Sect. The battle
Later, they estimated that they could not even pay their disciples' monthly salary, so what power did the Ningshui Sect have? They were lucky that all their disciples did not flee.
This kind of Ningshui Sect is in line with the interests of Danyang Sect and Bishui Pavilion, so Qi Sheng is very confident, and Bishui Pavilion is happy to see this kind of thing.
