Strictly speaking, the Emei Sect is actually facing strategic siege from four directions at the same time. In addition to the Mongolian forces, the Western Regions forces, and the Western Xia Dali forces, there is also a southern barbarian force eyeing them there. However, the Medicine King Valley, which belongs to the Southern Barbarian camp, is very close to the Wangqing Pavilion, and the Emei Sect is very close to the Wangqing Pavilion. Therefore, with the mediation of the Medicine King Valley, it can basically ensure that the NPC forces of the Southern Barbarians will not go north to attack Sichuan...

Of course, the fundamental reason why the attitude of the Medicine King Valley and the Southern Barbarians toward the Emei Sect is that the Southern Barbarians have taken Guilin and can directly enter the Huguang area of ​​the Central Plains without wading into the muddy waters in Sichuan. In addition, due to the great defeat of Wuzhou City, the north-south transportation line between Fenghua City and Guilin City of the Southern Barbarians has been cut off by the forces of the Western Barbarians, which has caused the Southern Barbarians to be unable to take care of each other at the beginning and end. They can only temporarily rest and deal with the Western Army of Wuzhou City before they can make the next plan.

Let’s put aside the forces of the Southern Barbarians for the time being, let’s talk about the Mongolian forces in the north and their Star Sects to which they belong. This force actually has several strategic routes to choose.

One is to capture Lanzhou City, then head southeast to Chang'an City, and directly into the heart of the Central Plains. However, it is too difficult to take this route, because Lanzhou City is an important town in the border area of ​​the Central Dynasty. At the beginning of the game, the city sold two million soldiers. The Ming Cult also sent a large army to garrison. This is also one of the main reasons why the Mongolian army has been fighting to Yongdeng Town, not far west of Lanzhou City but has not taken down Lanzhou City.

Secondly, even if the Mongolian army and its Star Sect conquer Lanzhou City, their days will not be easy, because the main force of the Mongolian army is Rangers. Once they leave the empty grassland and enter the heartland of the Central Plains, their advantage of coming and going without a trace will not be able to be exerted. At that time, as long as the Ming Cult located in the Kunlun Mountains blocks its back road, and then the Central Plains sends troops to the front, the Mongolian army can only become the turtle that catches turtles in the jar.

The second strategic route is to detour Lanzhou City, head northeastward, and compete with the Khitan camps south for Yinchuan, Taiyuan and other cities. This route can be said to be the best march route for Mongolian forces. Once Taiyuan is taken, it will have a very wide horizontal strategic area. At that time, you can go south to take over the Central Plains, attack Beijing City in the east, and retreat northwards in unfavorable situations. The opponent can't stop him or her and can stand invincible.

However, this strategic route is not without problems. Although its troops have extremely strong maneuverability and can rush thousands of miles within a few days, if they attack Yinchuan and further attack Taiyuan, the front line will be too long. If they cannot win the first battle, or if they have not had time to replenish their troops after they have taken Yinchuan City or are driven out by the opponent before they have been stationed for more than half a month, then the strategic intention mentioned above will not be realized, and will make no achievements. The overall strategy will be completely limited to passiveness during the first national war years.

Moreover, even if we take a step back, what can we do if Yinchuan and Taiyuan are occupied by Mongolia? We will not talk about the huge casualties during this period. We will only say that we have occupied these two towns that are not well-developed and have almost no players pass by. In the future, we will not receive much tax during the non-national war year. It is simply useless. Therefore, unless we continue to occupy Beijing city eastward, we can only get some oil and water. But it is obvious that this depends on whether the Khitan and the Jurchen countries agree. At least during the first national war year, this route of march is only strategic and cannot bring actual benefits.

Overall, the above two routes of march are suspected of being a bit aggressive, both of which do not take into account the safety of the rear and drive straight into the way. If the Mongolian camp did not join the Star Constellation Sect, the Mongolian NPC leader might choose one of the routes to gamble. Unfortunately, Long Xiaotian, who has great influence in the formulation of Mongolia's strategic plan, is not the kind of person who likes to take risks. This personality is actually not innate, but the experience and lessons carefully summarized after spending a lot of money to encircle Fang Jie.

Since the failure to encircle Fang Jie, Long Xiaotian's daily behavior has become much more rigorous. He insists on not expressing his opinions on everything that is uncertain and does not do anything that is not sure. Therefore, for a period of time, Long Xiaotian and his star school have stopped a lot and have never troubled Fang Jie and Wangqing Pavilion. However, during the battle in Xiangyang City, Long Xiaotian thought that the opportunity had come and believed that he had a perfect grasp of the Lingjiu Palace. This time, when Wangqing Pavilion could not take into account both, he succeeded in winning the Lingjiu Palace, which he had always regarded as a thorn in his side. This achievement was a good result of Long Xiaotian's adherence to the principle of pragmatism.

Therefore, in choosing the route of entry, Long Xiaotian adopted a prudent strategy, suggesting that the Mongolian army avoid the main force of the Ming Cult and the Central Plains, divide the troops into three groups, and one of them feinted the Lanzhou City, two outsides and two routes head south, one of them lightly crossed the Qinling Mountains where the defense line of the Ming Cult forces was extremely weak, and entered Sichuan. The other route advanced east along the outer line of the Qinling Mountains. The two armies occupied Guangyuan Town south of the Qinling Mountains and Hanzhong Town north of the north, forming a striking force.

Long Xiaotian's plan was to send Yi Luorong's Xingsu to attack the outposts before occupying these two cities, and secretly control the two towns. When the Mongolian army arrives, they will cooperate inside and outside. After occupying the two towns, they will temporarily station the two cities and remain stationed in the army. After obtaining the power to sweep the troops in the place, they will then decide the direction of their invasion based on the situation at that time.

If possible, of course, he would send troops from Hanzhong Town to the north and directly capture Chang'an City. If it really doesn't work, then just shoot back and fight back from Guangyuan Town to fight back to the Shuzhong area, and strive to capture the entire Sichuan territory during the first National War Year. In short, Long Xiaotian did not force himself to attack the heartland of the Central Plains in a short time. As long as he could occupy Sichuan and obtain the three-year tax revenue in the non-National War Year, he would be satisfied.

It has to be said that the strategic plan set by Long Xiaotian is quite conservative. It not only allows the Mongolian army with strong mobility and combat effectiveness to be a supporting role, but also does not reflect the style of the Xingsu faction, a major faction with high strength among all sects in the world. But it is undeniable that this is a very pragmatic strategic plan. Even if Chang'an City is not won by then, at least it can gain a foothold in Sichuan. Even if you can't get the entire territory of Sichuan, with the strength of the Xingsu faction and the assistance of the Mongolian forces, it will be fine to account for half of it?

As long as we achieve certain results during the first national war years and take root in the outer areas of the Central Plains, the next national war years will be the time for the Star Constellation School to achieve great success.

In this plan, the most important thing is whether the Xingsu Sect can gain a foothold in Guangyuan Town and Hanzhong Town. It is obvious that the Central Plains sects will definitely not watch the Xingsu Sect take root in the two places, but then again, some things are not transferred by human will. For the Central Plains sects, thinking and doing are two different things.

If you analyze it carefully, there are actually only two and a half sects. The reason why they are called "two and a half sects" is because the Quanzhen Sect and the Ancient Tomb Sect located in Zhongnan Mountain in the Qinling Mountains will definitely not sit idly by and will definitely send troops to intercept them. The other half sect is the Ming Sect. While its power controls the Lanzhou-Chang'an line, it may be divided into some forces to invade Hanzhong.

However, if the Xingsu Sect can cooperate with the Mongolian army exercises in feint attacking Lanzhou City, the Ming Cult may not dare to divide Hanzhong on a large scale. Moreover, for the Ming Cult, the strategic and economic status of Hanzhong Town is not important, and it will not be beneficial to capture Hanzhong Town. Long Xiaotian once considered from the perspective of the Ming Cult that if he was the head of the Ming Cult, he would not pay too much attention to Hanzhong Town, because its strategic role can only be truly reflected when entering the Central Plains after the Shuzhong area was occupied by other countries. At that time, the forces that control Hanzhong may stage the scene of Zhuge Liang going to Qishan six times.

Since the Ming Cult is unlikely to send troops to intercept or capture Hanzhong, the Xingsu Sect is only facing the Ancient Tomb Sect and Quanzhen Sect.

Judging from the strength rankings of the various sects in the rivers and lakes, the Ancient Tomb Sect is at the mid-stream level, while the Quanzhen Sect is weaker and at the mid- and lower-stream level. In the context of its powerful gang organizational structure, its management system and development system have been very sound, and its development momentum is extremely rapid. Its comprehensive strength is second only to the Wangqing Pavilion and the Beggars' Sect, which is comparable to Wudang, Shaolin and Ming Cult. Not to mention that such a famous sect deals with two weaker sects, as long as it does not face the Wangqing Pavilion, Long Xiaotian has extremely conceited and strong confidence.

Therefore, in Long Xiaotian's eyes, it is not worth worrying that even if the Tomb Sect and Quanzhen Sect are united, I believe that if the leaders of these two sects have a little bit of self-knowledge, they should not fight the Star Constellation Sect.

As for other sects in the nearby area, Long Xiaotian believes that there is no need to worry. For example, the Emei Sect, which faces strategic threats from three directions at the same time. Relatively speaking, the Mongolian forces in the north pose a great threat to it. After all, if Mongolia wants to enter Sichuan, it will cross mountains and ridges across the Qinling Mountains. There are also the Ming Cult, the Ancient Tomb Sect and the Quanzhen Sect stopping there. It is estimated that Feng Lin would not have expected that Long Xiaotian would take this route even if he scratched his head. Moreover, even if he expected that due to threats from the west and south, the Emei Sect, which is not strong, would be weak and it is impossible to take into account the war in the north.

Moreover, although the Emei Sect is not completely isolated and helpless, there are also the Qingcheng Sect and the former Tang Sect sent by Wangqing Pavilion in its territory to help, the combined strength of these three parties can probably barely guarantee that Chengdu City will not be lost. After all, the forces of the Western Regions in the west are supported by the Blood Knife Sect and Dalun Temple. Needless to say, the Dali Kingdom in the southwest is not weaker than the Emei Sect. Compared with the enemy, even the Emei Sect, the Qingcheng Sect, which has just improved a little, and the Tang Sect's friendly forces are still slightly at a disadvantage, and it is even more impossible to have the energy to pay attention to the situation in the north.

In fact, Feng Lin of the Emei Sect was already extremely worried at this time. The army of the Western Regions continued to pass through the Hengduan Mountains along the eastward official road and attacked in large numbers towards Chengdu City. Before that, the Dalun Temple and the Blood Knife Gate, which were not in the right direction, had already joined forces to attack Chengdu City.

The Blood Knife Gate and Dalun Temple originally wanted to learn nonsense to have a blitzkrieg, and quickly captured Chengdu City, the hinterland of Sichuan. Fortunately, Feng Lin and the head of the Qingcheng Sect, Hua Yushu, were prepared for it and took timely response measures, but they did not succeed. However, despite this, the Blood Knife Gate and Dalun Temple still seized Ya'an Town, an important transportation hub west of Chengdu City.

Ya'an Town, located at the intersection of Sichuan and Tibet, less than 300 miles from Chengdu City, is the transitional zone between the Sichuan Basin and the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. Han is the gateway and the only way to pass the ancient southern Silk Road. It is known as the "Shipton in West Sichuan", "Tibet Portal" and "Ethnic Corridor". The Blood Knife Gate and Dalun Temple seized this city, which is equivalent to opening an important channel to the Central Plains for the army of its powerful countries and the only channel.

It is obvious that the strategic importance of Ya'an Town is no less than that of Chengdu City. If the Emei Sect and Qingcheng Sect can occupy the town in advance, the army of the Western Regions will not be able to advance in a short time and can only sigh to the Central Plains. Unfortunately, neither ordinary players nor the heads of various sects are very professional military strategists. Especially for the various sects of the central dynasty who are defending the aid, it is impossible for them to realize that a certain city is a strategic point at the beginning of the national war, and it is even more impossible to actively send troops to garrison the area.

Compared with the various sects of the central dynasty, the sects belonging to the other eight directions have obvious sense of crisis. This is obvious. For example, Wu Shuo directly claimed in front of Fang Jie that he had no ambition to dominate the whole country at all, and that the central dynasty forces would definitely achieve the final victory of the national war, which already represents the national war goal of the sects belonging to other foreign forces - not seeking to unify the country, but seeking to become one side overlord, gain enough benefits in the early stage of the national war, and then retreat without any hesitation.

In order to achieve this goal, the heads of various sects of the foreign forces are naturally working hard to study the map of the rivers and lakes every day, trying every means to open up the national war situation for their own forces. After a few moments, the senior leaders of various sects who are not military experts have gradually become half military experts. At least in future strategic decisions, they can be clear in mind, make arrangements in advance, and seize strategic points. They can throw five million Hu Miao troops into Beijing, Long Xiaotian re-arrange their strategic routes, and Blood Knife Sect and Dalun Temple seize Ya'an Town in advance, all of which are strategic arrangements made under this sense of crisis. At present, the effect may not be too obvious, but it has also caused the Central Plains to gradually fall into a passive strategic situation.

It is precisely because of this that although the passive Emei Sect realized the strategic intentions of the Western Regions, it could no longer drive them back to the west of the Hengduan Mountains.

Moreover, the strength of the blood sword sect and the Dalun Temple is no less than that of the Emei Sect. The Qingcheng Sect and hundreds of thousands of Tang Sect reinforcements. The key problem is that the Emei Sect, which is profession of the nurse, is not good at martial arts. In fact, during the fight, the Qingcheng Sect and the Tang Sect disciples are at the forefront. The number of players of the two is not as high as half of the total number of Emei Sect disciples. Therefore, the Emei Sect can barely defend Chengdu City with the other two friendly forces. However, if they take the initiative to attack, they will be able to compete with the Blood sword sect and the Dalun Temple players who are good at fighting tough battles.

In this way, the Emei Sect and the Qingcheng Sect gave up the defense of Chengdu City, Qingcheng Mountain, and other areas around Emei Mountain in Sichuan. In other words, if the Blood Knife Gate and Dalun Temple are willing, they can completely encircle this area, or bypass Chengdu City and use Sichuan as a springboard to directly enter the heartland of the Central Plains.

Of course, the Blood Knife Sect and the Dalun Temple are as cautious as the Xingsu Sect. After all, once they cross Sichuan and enter the Central Plains, they have to enter the Two Lakes area. The current sect forces that control the Two Lakes area are just the two major sects of Wangqing Pavilion and Wudang. It’s a good idea to say that the Wudang Sect is that Wangqing Pavilion and its leader Fang Jie will never tolerate being beaten to the door of their homes.

The Xingsu Sect Long Xiaotian and the Blood Knife Sect are decadent and have little blood. The person they don’t want to provoke the least is Fang Jie, and the sect they don’t want to provoke the least is Wangqing Pavilion. Therefore, even if the rich Central Plains are right in front of them, they dare not greed for merit and make progress. At least until they completely control the entire Sichuan area and stabilize the rear, they will never dare to enter the Lianghu area.

Therefore, the ideas of the Blood Knife Sect, Dalun Temple and Xingsu Sect are quite consistent, that is, take down all the cities in Sichuan first, and the top priority is Chengdu City. Once Chengdu City is occupied, it can radiate its own forces to other areas of Sichuan to establish a stable rear. Of course, you can ignore Chengdu City, but adopt the strategy of surrounding cities in the countryside, first occupying surrounding towns, and then turn back to clean up Chengdu City.

The Mongolian army and its sect Xingsu sect, which were divided into two routes, chose to adopt the strategy of surrounding the city in the countryside and occupy Hanzhong and Guangyuan in advance. The Blood Knife Gate and Dalun Temple originally wanted to directly capture Chengdu City in the early stages of the national war, but later they lost the opportunity due to the great casualties in the siege, so they also adopted the strategy of surrounding the city in the countryside and took Ya'an Town as a stronghold to penetrate into the surrounding areas of Chengdu City.

During this process, the Emei Sect and its forces in the same camp also fought several small battles with disciples of the Blood Knife Sect and Dalun Temple outside the city, hoping to prevent the other side from infiltration from the east. However, after several battles, the Emei Sect did not get any advantage, and the casualties were one or two percent higher than those of the opponent. As a last resort, Feng Lin had to ask Fang Jie for help again, hoping that the Wangqing Pavilion could draw more troops to help the Emei Sect resist the invasion of foreign forces.

Unfortunately, everyone in the world knows that among the three million regular regiments, two million went to Taizhou City to defeat the Dongyi soldiers. Later, Fang Jie spoke, another 500,000 reinforcements were reinforced. Among the remaining 500,000, 300,000 were reinforced by the former Tang Sect. The last 200,000 were divided into four and a half full teams, and they were guarding the teleportation point of the Xiangyang City Four Gate Market all day to prevent other sects from launching a surprise attack on Xiangyang City.

So theoretically, Wangqing Pavilion has no soldiers to be sent at present. Of course, if we have to say strictly, there are at least five million martial arts players among the tens of millions of Wangqing Pavilion living players. However, these martial arts players are temporarily unable to enter the regular group organization of Wangqing Pavilion because of the defeat in the sect arena. Without the regular organization, they cannot enjoy a series of benefits such as death insurance and housing subsidies. If the senior management of Wangqing Pavilion wants to send these martial arts players who are not too weak, they must first solve their welfare problems. Otherwise, why should they work hard for you?

However, if the Emei Sect is not continued to send troops to reinforce the Emei Sect, once the Shuzhong area is occupied by foreign powers, the Wangqing Pavilion will have a head-on conflict with the other party. Even if the Wangqing Pavilion can suppress the other party, its own development in all aspects will be seriously affected. At least, the more than 2 million Wangqing Pavilion disciples who are frantically sweeping the Dongyi NPC in the eastern region will have to return to the rescue at least half, and the logistics economy of Xiangyang City will also be seriously affected.

Therefore, if you want to continue to increase the Emei Sect, unless the Wangqing Pavilion draws some of the troops out of the 2.5 million soldiers who are being sold, the problem is that the fewer troops assigned will not be of much help to the Emei Sect. If there are too many troops, it will have an impact on the layout of the troops around Taizhou City. Moreover, which teams are dispatched to come back is a problem. After all, there is a competition mechanism between the teams of the Wangqing Pavilion. For their own interests, the leaders of each division are willing to fight monsters on the spot, but are unwilling to run to the west to kill the enemy.

Just as the senior officials of Wangqing Pavilion were arguing endlessly about whether to send troops to help and which teams to reinforce the Emei Sect, the situation in the Shuzhong area further deteriorated. After the Dali Kingdom of Yunnan captured Guizhou City, it had already led its troops north and rushed to Sichuan, making the situation in the Shuzhong area even more dangerous. The two forces of Emei and Qingcheng were completely compressed in the surrounding areas of Chengdu City. Feng Lin therefore asked Wangqing Pavilion to send troops to reinforce immediately to help it resist the attacks of the two forces in the west and south.

Seeing that the situation in the southwest deteriorated to such a situation, the elders of the Wangqing Pavilion who were arguing endlessly knew that they could no longer hesitate at this time, so they quickly gritted the bullet and sent a text message to Fang Jie, who was scamming monsters in the Beijing Palace, asking Fang Jie to decide the matter in person.

Before this, Fang Jie had clearly put aside his words, saying that during the monster-sweeping leveling, others were prohibited from disturbing. All internal affairs of the Wangqing Pavilion and national war affairs were presided over by the main leaders of various departments. However, this time, the senior officials had different opinions at the Presbyterians' meeting, and their opinions were difficult to unify, and time was extremely urgent, so they had to turn to Fang Jie for help.
