Chapter nine hundred and ninety-ninth to retreat to advance, use a knife to kill

In response to the situation in Shuzhong, Fang Jie issued seven commands to transfer troops in a row, but all commands to transfer troops seemed to have nothing to do with reinforcement of the Emei Sect. On the contrary, Fang Jie even transferred the 300,000 former Tang Sect troops who had originally reinforced the Emei Sect out of Chengdu City.

"Order: Ningbo City Xinxin's troops retreat to Xiangyang City and fully preside over the defense mission of Xiangyang City and its four-gate market transmission points. Also: temporarily recruit a team of 100,000 people to enter the regular team building to assist Xinxin in stationing in Xiangyang City."

"Order: The 200,000 disciples who were formerly guarding the Simen Market in Xiangyang City will be led by Wangqing to garrison in Chongqing. Ningbo City Defense and its 300,000 defenders will be temporarily handed over to the commander of the Sun."

"Order: The Jinhua Town Department of Jiangnan in Jinhua Town will be dispatched to Chongqing City to join the Wangqing Department. After the department arrives in Chongqing City, the Wangqing Department will be commanded by Wangqing's full authority."

"Order: I want to withdraw from the game and go to Chongqing City to assist Wangqing in defending the city. The Wenzhou City headquarters will be temporarily handed over to Xiao Yao, Sun Commander"

"Order: The special brigade of Hongyan Sword Technique under Quanfu, the special brigade of Dust Sword Technique under Yuanzi, the special brigade of Dugu Nine Swords under Ye Shunlong, the special brigade of Lingjiu Palace Sword Technique under Han Qinglu and the elite special brigade of Luomanzi in Chongqing City"

"Order: Among the 300,000 disciples of the Emei Sect, 200,000 people were dispatched from Chengdu City to Chongqing City and join the Wangqing Army."

"Order: Borrow everything and bring the killer group of Wangqing Pavilion to Shuzhong to do something cheaply"

After this series of dazzling orders to mobilize troops was issued, the senior officials of Wangqing Pavilion were naturally confused, but no matter how confused they were, since it was the order issued by the head Fang Jie himself, everyone chose to resolutely implement his instructions without any condition. After all, in the eyes of everyone, Fang Jie is a person who can create miracles. No matter how unreasonable his orders seem, everyone firmly believes that they are reasonable and no longer need to find any reason to fully accept them.

On the surface, everyone could see that Xinxin's troops returned to defend Xiangyang City only for the security of the Wangqing Pavilion headquarters, and all other troops were carried out around Chongqing City. Many people couldn't help but wonder that the Emei Sect asked Wangqing Pavilion for help, not to increase troops in Chongqing, but to increase troops in Chengdu City and Shuzhong area. But Fang Jie turned a blind eye and sent an army of 700,000 to Chongqing City behind Chengdu City. This was like reinforcements but no direct reinforcements, and it was somewhat unsatisfactory.

Of course, some smart people also analyzed that from a strategic perspective, Chongqing City is an important strategic city between Chengdu and Xiangyang, and an important hub connecting Sichuan and Huguang areas. Once Chongqing City is occupied by hostile forces, Chengdu City will become a completely lonely city. It will be difficult for Wangqing Pavilion and the various sects of the Central Plains to reinforce the Shuzhong area. Therefore, although Fang Jie's move seems to have not directly helped the Emei Sect, it also ensures the safety of its rear. At that time, Wangqing Pavilion can reinforce Shuzhong and retreat to defend the Central Plains, with great room for maneuver.

However, most people may not be able to see Fang Jie's deeper intentions. Only the leaders of various departments who received the private message from Fang Jie could truly understand why Fang Jie made such arrangements, especially Feng Lin of the Emei Sect, who almost fully learned about Fang Jie's strategic intentions, and therefore Fang Jie admired him very much.

In short, Fang Jie's intention was to send troops to guard Chongqing City as a form to deter hostile forces in Shuzhong to a certain extent. The most important thing is "a certain degree", that is, to have a certain deterrence effect, but it will not directly scare the hostile forces away, so that the hostile forces will be brave enough to operate within Shuzhong with luck.

In fact, we can simply analyze the tricks in this.

If Wangqing Pavilion directly increases troops to Chengdu City, then there are only two changes in the situation. One is that foreign forces and their sects are eager to fight against the Emei Sect and the Wangqing Pavilion, which sent troops to reinforce, will fight to the death with the Emei Sect and the Wangqing Pavilion, which sent troops to reinforce. In this way, everyone may end up being a loss-win situation, and no one can get more benefits in the national war.

Another way is that various foreign forces and their sects swallowed their anger, avoided their edge, and bypassed the Shuzhong area and chose other routes to march into the Central Plains.

However, the possibility of such a change is extremely small, because the Western Regions have no choice but to march into Shuzhong. If Dali chooses the eastward route, it will encounter the extremely strong defense of the Vine Armored South Barbarian Kingdom too early, and it will not benefit from any benefits. It may even suffer a great loss under the special combat methods of Yaowang Valley and Wanshou Villa. As for Mongolia, it has been said before that Long Xiaotian, who has made strategic decisions, cannot change his route temporarily.

Therefore, Wangqing Pavilion directly reinforces Chengdu City, which is actually equivalent to forcing itself and the hostile forces into a desperate situation. At that time, the two sides will definitely fight to the death. The final result is that Wangqing Pavilion will likely fall into the quagmire of war and cannot withdraw, which will have a very serious impact on the development of Wangqing Pavilion itself.

It is obvious that if Wangqing Pavilion did not act so recklessly and just sent troops to guard Chongqing City on the east side of Chengdu City, the decadent bloodless person who was quite afraid of Fang Jie and Wangqing Pavilion, Long Xiaotian and others would never dare to attack Chongqing City at will and march towards the Central Plains. I believe that the Duan of Dali also had this kind of fear. Otherwise, the Dali Kingdom of Xixia would not only go north to attack Shuzhong and not dare to enter the Central Plains. Then, in the future, the Shuzhong area would become a stage for the competition between the three forces of Xixia, the Western Regions, and the Mongolian Kingdom.

Of course, in addition to the above Three Kingdoms forces, there are also the Emei Sect and the fourth party of the Central Dynasty under the Qingcheng Sect. However, Fang Jie sent a private message to Feng Lin, no matter how the other three forces sing operas on the stage, let him just watch the operas on the side, just guard Chengdu City and the nearby Qingcheng Mountain, Emei Mountain, which is acre of three-point land. Anyway, as long as Feng Lin can maintain restraint, he will huddle in the Chengdu City area and join forces with the Qingcheng Sect and the remaining 100,000 disciples of the Wangqing Pavilion to guard the enemy, and the enemy will definitely be unable to do anything to her for a while.

Fang Jie even pointed out without any strikingly that as long as Feng Lin does not leave the city and does not provoke the other three forces, then the three forces will definitely not take the initiative to follow Feng Lin and the Emei Sect and fail to deal with it. When Feng Lin asked the reason, Fang Jie only made a simple example: "Four people fight each other, and one of the weakest people with the power of parry is the temporarily unthreatening person. Do you think the other three fight to solve the other two threats first, or will you destroy the unfavorable enemy in the middle first?"

Fang Jie did not give the answer to this question, but let alone the clever Feng Lin, even ordinary people can easily get the answer to this question - of course, they must first destroy the other two threatening enemies, and then slowly remove the weak enemy in the middle.

Obviously, the Emei Sect is the pitiful worm surrounded in the middle, and any other three forces will first think about how to drive the other two forces out of Shuzhong. After the overall situation is settled, then turn around and deal with the Emei Sect. In this way, the Emei Sect, a local snake entrenched in the Shuzhong area, has nothing to do with it. At least for a period of time, before the three forces have decided on the winning or losing, the Emei Sect can watch the show without worry.

And this is the fundamental reason why Fang Jie did not send troops to Chengdu City directly, but instead retreated to the next best garrison in Chongqing City.

As the saying goes, take a step back, the sea is wide open, and Fang Jie only takes this step. The three forces far away in the west have a certain amount of space. In order to compete for this limited space, they have to fight each other to see who has a harder fist. After they fight, Wangqing Pavilion will join forces with the Emei Sect, Qingcheng Sect, Ancient Tomb Sect, Quanzhen Sect, and even win over the Medicine King Valley of the Southern Barbarian Kingdom and go to Shuzhong to clean up the mess.

I believe that at that time, the leaders of the sects belonging to the three forces would definitely beat their chests and stamp their feet and regret it. But that was all a story. At least for now, the leaders and senior leaders of the sects belonging to the three forces could not see Fang Jie's plan to kill people with a knife for a while. Even when they learned that the Wangqing Pavilion was just sending troops to Chongqing City without reinforcement of Chengdu City, the leaders were still secretly grateful in their hearts, hoping to avoid the head-on conflict with the Wangqing Pavilion.

However, in Feng Lin's view, Fang Jie's plan to kill people by using a knife must also have one premise, that is, the Mongolian forces to which Long Xiaotian belongs will invade Shuzhong area.

Obviously, if there are only two forces in the central Shu area fighting each other, it will be difficult to form a check and balance situation, and the two sides may even reach some kind of cooperation agreement to jointly attack Chengdu City. Therefore, only if the Mongolian forces also participate, this plan can continue according to the expected route. However, Feng Lin did not expect that the Mongolian forces would read the Qinling Mountains and attack the Shu area south. No matter how you look at it, there is no reason for Mongolia, which has Rangers as the main force, to give up its own military advantages and travel through mountains and rivers to the central Shu area.

In fact, not only Feng Lin had this doubt, Fang Jie, who decided on this plan, also felt that Long Xiaotian's actions were really illogical. If he were Long Xiaotian, he would definitely go north to capture Yinchuan and Xu Tu Taiyuan, and finally firmly control the north of the Yellow River in his hands. However, Fang Jie got the exact news from the Poison Lady. Long Xiaotian did not intend to do this, but had decided to go south and arranged the plan. If not, Fang Jie would never believe that Long Xiaotian would make such an incredible decision.

Only the two of them knew about the "deal" between Fang Jie and the Poison Lady. He believed that the Poison Lady, who had a deep hatred towards Long Xiaotian, would definitely not lie about military information in this matter, so although he found it incredible, he still firmly believed that the Poison Lady's information would not be wrong.

Therefore, he could only enjoy this information alone. He did not inform Feng Lin, but just ordered the other party to act according to his own arrangements. If anything happens, the Wangqing Pavilion army stationed in Chongqing City can temporarily change its plans and quickly reinforce Chengdu City. At least, it can ensure that Emei Sect’s base, Mount Emei, will not be captured by the enemy.

After receiving this promise, Feng Lin still had doubts in her heart, out of the complete trust of Fang Jie, she did not raise any objections. Instead, according to Fang Jie's arrangement, she began to shrink the defense line in the Shuzhong area and re-arrange troops. She only set up heavy troops to defend Qingcheng Mountain, Emei Mountain and Chengdu City, and gave up other areas. Any Western Regions and Dali countries that had already entered the territory were each encircled their own territory in the Shuzhong area.

At first, the Western Regions and the Dali Kingdom were able to enclose their lands relatively restrainedly, but as they circled, some contradictions and conflicts inevitably arose.

Especially the Western Regions countries, which had two sects joined, naturally had a larger appetite than the Dali Kingdom. Moreover, the Blood Knife Sect and Dalun Temple cooperated temporarily because they were in the same camp, and they were still wary of each other in private. Both sides always thought about how to use the military forces of the Western Regions to seek benefits for themselves. Therefore, during the enclosure process, the two factions led the Western Regions army to enclose the land separately, one extending to the southeast, and the other marched to the northeastward direction around the process. The Dalun Temple headquarters, which developed in the southeast, inevitably had a conflict of interest with the Western Xia Dali Kingdom.

Therefore, in this land enclosure movement, Dalun Temple first faced the Duan clan of Dali. While the forces of the two sides were fighting on the front battlefield, the two players scattered in a long-lasting guerrilla war in the wild suburbs.

In the early stage of this guerrilla war, Dalun Temple, which was at a disadvantage in body skills and at a disadvantage, suffered some losses on the battlefield. A series of troops produced by the Western Regions, which possessed various Tantric martial arts, killed the NPC soldiers of the Western Xia Kingdom and returned home, and finally recovered some losses and face for Dalun Temple.

The troops of the Western Regions are all Tantric monk soldiers. The only difference is that the martial arts and weapons they use are different. The martial arts skills mastered by these Tantric monk soldiers also originated from the Dalun Temple and the Blood Knife Sect. Of course, top martial arts such as Blood Knife Skill, Blood Knife ** and Dragon Elephant Prajna Kung Fu are impossible to possess. At most, the Sun and Moon Wheel monk soldiers who have mastered the Sun and Moon Wheels in the Dalun Temple who hold a pair of copper wheels.

In terms of other weapons, there are the Red Lotus Sword Monk who mastered the intermediate martial arts Red Lotus Sword Monk who casts the Mingwang Sword Monk who does not move the Mingwang Sword Monk, and there are also the Demon Sword Monk who casts the Vajra Demon Subduing Pestle with extremely strong attack power. In terms of empty-hand skills, they are mainly Tantric boxers who mainly use Tantric Mahashi Seals.

The troops of Dali Kingdom are basically hodgepodges of various types of troops, including spearmen, scimitar guards, rangers, archers, archers, swordsmen, swordsmen, axe throwers... and so on, everything is available. Logically speaking, if so many troops are properly allocated on the battlefield, they should be able to take the initiative in the advantages of the troops being incompatible, or simply not being able to disrupt the war, which may also make the opponent at a loss.

But in fact, because the Dali Kingdom's troops were too complicated, they were facing monk soldiers from Western Regions who had special martial arts, and their actual overall combat capabilities were simply unable to be exerted. Only the NPC Hall of the First Pin Hall of the Xixia, can only gain a certain advantage in fighting with monk soldiers from Western Regions. However, the First Pin Hall of the Xixia is like the artillery of the Western Army, which belongs to a special military service and is very limited in number.

So you can imagine how easy it would be for almost everyone to deal with ordinary soldiers in Western Regions with a primary or intermediate tantra. This is also the main reason why Dali soldiers were defeated by the Western Regions. Of course, as time goes by, after Dali Duan's family was able to buy soldiers in Shuzhong, the unfavorable situation of the NPC battle should be improved, because at that time, Dali Duan's family would definitely spend a lot of money to produce all the first-class Western Xia people to specifically deal with the monk soldiers of the Western Regions.

Just as the land enclosure movement in the central Shu area was in full swing, the Xingsu Sect and its Mongolian forces also launched an action in accordance with Long Xiaotian's plan. A large number of Xingsu Sect masters disguised themselves and sneaked into Guangyuan and Hanzhong towns, while a large number of Mongolian cavalry secretly crossed Chencang, set out from Ya'an Town, and quickly headed towards the two towns where Xingsu Sect masters settled along both sides of the Qinling Mountains. If the Poison Lady had not secretly informed Fang Jie, I am afraid that no one in the world would know about this matter except Long Xiaotian and the direct descendants of the Xingsu Sect.

A few days later, a small battle broke out in Guangyuan Town. The reason was that the Xingsu Sect masters secretly sneaked into the city wanted to seize Guangyuan Town in advance, but a land-encircling team from the Blood Knife Sect was surrounded here. As soon as they entered the city, they carried out bloody cleaning of all players from non-Western Regional countries in the city. As a result, the cleaning was cleared to the Xingsu Sect masters. Both sides fought without saying a word.

There was a large number of hostile players in Guangyuan Town, and they were soon reported to the head of the sect by both sides. Needless to say, the first reaction of the decadent Bloodless was to be surprised, and then he was angry, feeling that the Xingsu Sect's hand was too long, and he actually dared to attack Lanzhou City on a large scale, and he also sent someone to secretly control Guangyuan Town in Sichuan. If the land-enclosing team under the Blood Knife Sect happened to encounter the other party, I would probably be kept in the dark by Long Xiaotian at this moment.

In view of this, it was not known that the Lanzhou City siege was just the decayed blood of the smoke bomb released by Long Xiaotian. He immediately ordered the troops in northern Shu to gather in Guangyuan Town immediately and asked the troops to strengthen the defense and surveillance of that area to prevent the Mongolian forces on the other side of the Qinling Mountains from sneaking into Sichuan.

At the same time, Long Xiaotian was also making his own arrangements.

Since Guangyuan Town, which was secretly controlled, was waiting for the arrival of the large army and then the plan of cooperating with the outside world to die, Long Xiaotian felt that there was no need to continue hiding. He immediately ordered the first batch of millions of Xingsu disciples who had already sneaked into the mountainous area on the southern side of the Qinling Mountains to come out of the mountain, and surrounded the Blood Knife Gate troops of Guangyuan Town from the rear, and annihilated the other party, and immediately entered the city to rest and garrison, ready to deal with the subsequent battle at any time.

Long Xiaotian only has one requirement for this group of city guards - defend the city at all costs, wait for the arrival of the Mongolian army, accumulate the time for city occupation, and obtain the conditions for the soldiers as soon as possible.
