The war lasted for a month, and Fang Zhaonan quietly evacuated with his elite army.
Since part of Southern Wu's territory had been seized by the Tiandu Sect's army, and a large area of Northern Qi was owned by Dark Night Pavilion, Fang Zhaonan detoured to Northern Qi and made a big turn to go straight to Southern Wu, without encountering any obstacles along the way.
Such a large-scale army operation, coupled with the fact that Northern Qi also had eyes and ears from all sides. A few days later, through the transmission line connecting the north and the south, information was quickly passed through one sentry after another, and the Dongfang Family quickly received the news.
On the top floor of Lingtian Pavilion, there are misty clouds and mist, and the mountain breeze blows gently from time to time. Standing here makes you feel like you are at the top of the mountain.
Dongfang Changwei, Dongfang Changkong, and Dongfang Tao were the three most powerful pillars in the family. Dongfang Jingting, as the general person in charge of wartime intelligence, reported the battle situation on the front line to several people.
Finally, the four of them looked at Dongfang Changsheng, who was standing on the railing.
Dongfang Changwei guessed: "Could it be that Fang Zhaonan knew that he couldn't stand it anymore, so he rushed to Nanwu with his people in advance to join forces with the Tiandu Sect army to seize the territory of Nanwu?"
Dongfang Changkong nodded and said: "It is very possible that instead of staying in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty and working hard, with no guarantee of holding on to the territory in the end, it would be better to move to Southern Wu and swallow up the Southern Wu territory first, so that we can regroup in the future and avenge the current situation.
"
Facing the alliance between the Dongfang Family and the Demon Sect, it is indeed difficult for Fang Zhaonan to stop it on his own.
Although he has a strategist and is a natural military commander, there are also many counselors and generals on the other two sides. Moreover, because Fang Zhaonan cooperated with the Northern Qi rebel army, he was also conquered by the Northern Qi court. He was attacked from three sides and the pressure he endured was far beyond the
outside imagination.
Having said that, when this undefeated marshal, who was invincible in a hundred battles and was unstoppable, led people to run away, it still made the world feel unreal for a while.
Dongfang Changkong was extremely excited, and laughed and said: "Don't mythologise Fang Zhaonan, no matter how powerful he is, he is just a human being. Brother, once Fang Zhaonan leaves, the morale of the troops in the north will be greatly shaken. This is a good opportunity to attack the defense in one go. Don't miss it.
!”
Facing the crowd, Dongfang Changsheng finally turned around slowly, but ignored Dongfang Changkong. Instead, he looked at Dongfang Tao, who had been silent: "What do you think?"
Hearing this, Dongfang Tao had to answer: "Fang Zhaonan led his people to resist for a month. This month of bloody battles can't be faked. It proved that he really wanted to defend the territory. But he found that there were fierce attacks on three sides, and after the battle lines were spread out, there was nothing he could do.
It is not unwise to transfer to Nanwu. But behind Fang Zhaonan is a mysterious person from the Dark Night Pavilion. This person has ulterior motives, so I think we should be more careful."
Dongfang Changkong couldn't help but sneer on his face. He said this as if he hadn't said it yet, and hummed: "The current battle situation is clear and there is no conspiracy at all. So what if that mysterious man is cunning? I don't believe it is possible to break the situation!"
Dongfang Tao didn't defend himself. In fact, he couldn't see what tricks Fang Zhaonan could have up his sleeve. As for using a false shot to lure the tiger away from the mountain, the parties involved were not idiots. Under the current framework, it simply didn't make sense.
In the final analysis, the mysterious man's methods in the past were too sinister and vicious, making it difficult for people to guard against, so Dongfang Tao subconsciously felt that there was a trap.
Dongfang Changkong was impatient and urged: "Brother, give the order quickly. If we wait for Zhuo Mufeng to receive the news and he seizes the territory first, our previous efforts and sacrifices will be in vain!"
Dongfang Changwei, who has a more elegant and gentle personality, also said anxiously at this time: "Brother, this opportunity is not to be missed!"
Dongfang Changsheng glanced at a few people, walked to the huge map hanging in the pavilion, scanned the battlefield area with turbid but sharp eyes, and said slowly but full of murderous intent: "The West Road area we captured, except for the area held by the enemy,
Outside the dangerous pass, there are not many dangerous places for ambushes. Moreover, when Fang Zhaonan returns, there are not many bargains to be found. If he misses the opportunity because of looking forward and backward, I will not start this battle."
These words made Dongfang Changwei and Dongfang Changkong very excited, but Dongfang Tao remained expressionless.
Dongfang Changsheng shouted: "Jingting, immediately order the front line to attack with all your strength. Once you break through the dangerous pass, don't over-pursue and find a way to drive the enemy to the east!"
East Road?
The four people behind him were startled, but Dongfang Tao reacted the fastest. His eyes suddenly flashed, then narrowed again.
Then came Dongfang Chang Wei, who thought about it for a while and shouted: "Brother, what do you mean, let Fang Zhaonan's remaining army and Zhuo Mufeng's army kill each other?"
Dongfang Changsheng pointed to a certain area on the map and said indifferently: "The lands on the east road captured by the Demon Sect are mostly mountains and plains, which are easy to hide. Once Fang Zhaonan's remnants escape there, they will naturally arouse their fighting spirit. I listen.
Said that the Demon Sect’s army suffered heavy casualties on the east road, and even a few armies were counterattacked by Fang Zhaonan’s army?”
Dongfang Jingting said: "Yes, the Demon Sect relies on Cai Enping to conquer the world, but Cai Enping is still far behind Fang Zhaonan, and many of his generals and soldiers are inferior."
"That's right." Dongfang Changsheng actually smiled, but the laughter was horrifying: "In this case, it is even more important to let the remnants of Fang Zhaonan on the west road join Fang Zhaonan's army on the east road. In this way, the enemy
The combat power and morale of the army will be greatly increased, which will definitely give the demon army a headache. Then we will wait for the siege instead of attacking, and just sit back and watch the two consume each other. If necessary, we can even pretend to be Fang Zhaonan's army to attack and kill the demon army.
Gate army!"
The people behind me looked at each other, and they all saw the word "wisdom and calculation" in each other's eyes. They were so amazed that they were speechless.
Dongfang Changkong gave a thumbs up and praised: "Brother is indeed wise! At that time, we can kill the Demon Sect army there. If they turn around and run away, we will cut off the supply of food and grass. In this way, they will go out in vain.
We lost our strength and killed countless soldiers, but we couldn't even get an inch of land, hahaha!"
Dongfang Tao added at the side: "Don't use too much force, just take it slow. This time Zhuo Mufeng sent millions of troops. As long as the losses are within the tolerance, he will definitely not be willing to retreat. He is even more afraid that the territory will be occupied by my Dongfang family."
occupy.
Therefore, as long as the Demon Sect's troops are consumed a little bit, Zhuo Mufeng will definitely send more troops to the front line. With the help of Fang Zhaonan's remaining troops, he can destroy the Demon Sect in one fell swoop!
In this way, after the remnants of Fang Zhaonan are eliminated and the territory in the north is occupied, the family will firmly occupy the north and south, and it can also form an encirclement against Zhuo Mufeng, and it is only a matter of time before its foundation is destroyed."
After saying these words, not to mention Dongfang Jingting who was already impressed by Dongfang Tao's ability, even Dongfang Changwei and Dongfang Changkong looked at this unsmiling middle-aged man stupidly.
They finally understood why the elder brother valued this person so much. He was so scheming and ruthless that he could kill without blood.
According to the opponent's plan, while driving away Fang Zhaonan, he also eliminated the threat of Zhuo Mufeng, which was equivalent to killing two birds with one stone. From then on, the land of Eastern Zhou Dynasty would be owned by the Dongfang Family!
Even Dongfang Changsheng, his old face was shining at this moment, and his eyes were so profound that people dare not look directly at him. He stared at Dongfang Tao for a while, and said with emotion: "Elder Tao, you are indeed the pillar of the family!"
He turned to look at Dongfang Jingting, who was in a daze, and shouted: "Why don't you send the order quickly?"
Dongfang Jingting was awakened, bowed, and hurriedly turned around and went downstairs...
Everything that happened after that was just as planned by Dongfang Changsheng and others. The remnants of Fang Zhaonan on the west road ran to the east road. After the two parties gathered, they really brought huge trouble to the Demon Sect army. Every day, soldiers died in the wilderness.
, the casualty figures are shocking.
The Dongfang Family's army stood idly by and even blocked the remnants of Fang Zhaonan, forcing them to choose to fight against the weaker Demon Sect army. They were so angry that the generals under Cai Enping lifted the table and cursed the Dongfang Family for being shameless.
Like the Dongfang Family, the Dark Night Pavilion also has wartime intelligence transmission lines, and the efficiency and speed are even much faster than those of the Dongfang Family.
After learning the news, the cloaked man smiled and said: "The trouble is diverted to the east, and the snipe and the clam are fighting. If you can take advantage of the situation to create this kind of opportunity, Dongfang Changsheng is really powerful. But Lou Linxuan is not a mediocre person. I don't believe he doesn't have countermeasures."
."
Uncle Ming on the side said disapprovingly: "Besides sending more troops to support the front line, what else can we do? Even so, after defeating the remnants of Fang Zhaonan, the Dongfang Family has occupied all the territory in the north of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty. The Demon Sect can at most drink some.
Tang, I think this big loss is inevitable!"
There was a strong sense of schadenfreude in his tone.
The cloaked man remained silent. Judging from the information he had now, it was really difficult to guess Lou Linxuan's back-up plan. But when he was allowed to suffer losses one after another, the cloaked man never believed that Lou Linxuan only had this ability.
Isn't insulting such an opponent an insult to oneself? Looking at it from another angle, the cloaked man hopes that Lou Linxuan will fight back, otherwise he will be disappointed...
Outside Jinghua City, at Xianwu Mansion, there is an octagonal pavilion built on the top of a rockery, which is dozens of feet high and overlooks the huge mansion.
In the pavilion, Zhuo Mufeng was listening to Chi Qing's report. As for Balong and Fang Xiaodie, they went to Nanwu a few years ago and have been monitoring Jianhai Palace to prevent the orders here from being implemented.
Chi Qing said with anger on his face: "Master, the old Dongfang thief is too insidious. He wants to kill our army and make us unable to compete for Fang Zhaonan's territory. Once he stabilizes the situation, he may attack us immediately."
!”
Zhuo Mufeng was wearing a sky blue gown and a Confucian scarf of the same color on his head. He looked like a rich and handsome scholar, standing beside the pavilion pillars and looking at the pavilions and pavilions in the distance.
He ignored Chi Qing's words and instead said to Lou Linxuan on the side: "Uncle Lou, according to the plan, our army has been fighting and retreating. We have retreated for so many days. When will we counterattack?"
What? Chi Qing, who was standing behind the two of them, was confused.
Lou Linxuan gently shook his folding fan, and the setting sun shone on him, making his face painted with a layer of gold, mysterious and solemn: "The reinforcements are on standby. In order to arrive as soon as possible, Lou has negotiated with the Dongfang Family,
Borrowing their shortcut and waiting for their consent will be half the plan."
