Chapter 26 Jiangnan
According to Qi Niang's guarantee, he can withstand the losses of up to twelve formations, and there are also a considerable number of doubt formations, so these emperors' personal troops are not worth worrying about. Even if there are fish that escape the net and destroy some formations, they are within a bearable range.
What Qi Xuansu really cares about is the frontal battlefield. Where will the main force of the Qin-Li Alliance choose to take action?
In this regard, Zhou Mengyao cannot give a clear message.
It’s not that Zhou Mengyao did not receive the information, but that Zhou Mengyao got too much information, and some of the information was even completely opposite, which required considerable discernment.
Therefore, since ancient times, intelligence analysis has been an important link, not inferior to intelligence collection.
Perhaps afterwards, there was already a key intelligence, but it did not attract attention. But in the eyes of the parties at that time, how can we tell who is true and who is false? Perhaps the real intelligence is inside, but how to analyze it is a problem.
It's like complaining that the emperor did not recognize the true face of a certain minister and mistakenly believed in a villain. To put it bluntly, all the ministers who could walk to the emperor were smart people. So many smart people pretended to be themselves and even joined forces to fool the emperor. How could they distinguish between loyalty and treacherous? The information is the same, how could they distinguish between true and false?
The major affairs of the country are only sacrifices and military affairs. It is related to military affairs and even the destiny of the country. Zhou Mengyao dared not make a rash judgment. He could only submit all the important information to Qi Xuansu and let the chief sect make a judgment on his own.
If the judgment is correct, it is naturally the master of the great master who is wise and has a sharp eye. If the judgment is wrong, it is also the fault of the master who is the master of the future. In the future, it will be the command error of the master who makes the master of the great master. Don’t say that Zhou Mengyao has ruined the foundation of the Taoist sect for more than 200 years.
This is actually what the previous dynasty regent and Xuansheng said before the decisive battle: All ministers have heard of today's affairs. I have to fight for the country and the country, but I have no choice but to fight, and I have no idea about the matter. It is like after the war, the country and the country are still not protected. All the dukes are here today. You should know that my efforts are not to blame one person, and the empress dowager sent his ancestors to the world for two hundred years.
It seems that Zhou Mengyao has learned the essence.
This is the difference between leaders. As a leader, you must have the courage to bear mistakes.
The mistakes of subordinates are also the mistakes of leaders. You cannot emphasize the key to identifying and employing people only when your subordinates make contributions.
When one side is "all my fault" and the other side is "don't blame one person", the outcome is already obvious.
In fact, there are still some light and shadow fragments left by Xuansheng. Unlike Yao Ling's sinister intentions, of course there is no residual soul. It is just a fragment of memory that Xuansheng accidentally lost when peeling off the "Eternal Life Stone".
As Qi Xuansu gradually mastered the new "Heart of Eternal Stone", he gradually discovered it.
These fragments are very messy and have no rules. Some are memories of Xuan Sheng when he was a young man, some are memories of Xuan Sheng when he was a young man, and some are memories of Xuan Sheng when he was a young man.
From this, Qi Xuansu learned many stories, such as before Madam Xuansheng, Xuansheng had a relationship, but died in the chaos in the imperial capital, or many details of the battle between Xuansheng and the Buddha Lord, etc.
Of course, there are also memories of Xuan Sheng when he was old.
In fact, the successor that Xuan Sheng wanted before ascending was not Donghuang, but Chen Changsheng. He was also the most loyal Taiping Dao origin, and was even the second-ranked Taiping Dao after Donghuang. However, many of his traces have been erased from the history books by Donghuang.
Chen Changsheng once had a conversation with Xuan Sheng.
Because this memory is incomplete, from Qi Xuansu's perspective, the dialogue begins in the middle.
Chen Changsheng was very angry for some reason and said loudly: "The great master, this should not be like this."
Xuan Sheng lay on a recliner, looking very weak, but he turned his head slightly: "Then what are your plans? Sweep the world with one sword?"
Chen Changsheng looked at his leader and his teacher and said in a deep voice: "We can take down Wu Xian, then start over, clear the Taoist sect, and rebuild the Taoist sect, even if it takes hundreds of years, and then..."
Xuan Sheng interrupted him: "We can destroy Wu Xian, but there will always be someone who will take over her position. The rules of the world are roughly like this. If an old enemy falls, new enemies will emerge. The new enemies will learn from the old enemy's lessons and then make a comeback."
Chen Changsheng asked: "Who is this new enemy?"
Xuan Sheng shook his head: "This is unaware of it and it is not important. The key is that not only will we learn and make progress, but our enemies will also become more hidden and cunning."
Chen Changsheng seemed very unwilling to accept: "But as long as you are there, all the enemies are not worth worrying. As long as you are under your leadership, we can still rebuild the Taoist sect, and the Taoist sect can still be at its peak."
Xuan Sheng looked at his disciples for a long time, and asked a question that was not a question, but also had no answer: "What if I am gone? I will leave in the end, what should I do?"
Shen Changsheng is silent.
Thunder rolled past the hall, as if the heavenly way was furious, and it hit Chen Changsheng's heart hard and intimidated the world.
He murmured to himself: "What should we do? What will happen next?"
Xuan Sheng slowly closed his eyes, his voice was very low, almost blocked by thunder: "I don't know."
Chen Changsheng looked at Xuan Sheng in shock, his lips moved slightly, and he couldn't speak for a long time.
Darkness and shadows enveloped Xuan Sheng's face, and only Xuan Sheng could hear him sigh again: "Maybe only God knows."
This problem that spans two hundred years has also come to Qi Xuansu - what to do?
Qi Xuansu didn't know either, he could only take one step at a time, but he wanted to be ashamed of his heart.
Zhou Mengyao can escape, but Qi Xuansu cannot.
Because he is the leader.
If the Taoist sect is destroyed, others can surrender, but Qi Xuansu cannot surrender.
Because he is the leader.
This is a combination of rights and responsibilities.
You cannot be the master of the great sect only when you are arrogant and do good deeds.
Qi Xuansu made a bold judgment based on various information submitted by Zhou Mengyao, and the focus of the Qin-Li Alliance's offensive would be on Jiangnan Dao Mansion.
Cihang Zhenren has put forward other opinions, advocating strengthening the Qinzhou defense line chaired by Wu Niang to prevent Taiping Road from sneak attacking.
However, Qi Xuansu believes that there is no need to be this. Although he has little interaction with the national teacher, he also knows that the national teacher has always been stubborn and will definitely fight wherever he wants. There is no doubt that the Jiangnan Dao Mansion where the Tianshi is in charge is the toughest.
Another point is that Taiping Road has a certain foundation in Jiangnan Dao Prefecture, and it has the foundation to rule Jiangnan Dao Prefecture, and has gained the most. After all, it is one of the four major economic pillars of the Taoist sect, which can smooth out the economic gap between the north and the south. There is also the Grand Canal, which can connect the Imperial Capital and Qiantang Prefecture. In addition to the flying boat troops, the navy can also play a role, traversing the river and reaching Huzhou and even Shuzhou.
If you take a step back, even if you cannot defeat the Jiangnan Dao Mansion, you can disrupt the economy of the Daomen. Loss of both sides is better than losing alone.
So Qi Xuansu had an idea. Perhaps the Qin-Li Alliance did not care about Yao Ling's life or death, nor did they want to bloom around the center of Difei Mountain. They wanted to take advantage of the Taoist sect to concentrate on solving Difei Mountain and take advantage of the situation to win the Jiangnan Dao Mansion, the key move.
Qi Xuansu specifically communicated with the Tianshi. The Tianshi recognized Qi Xuansu's views and agreed to further strengthen the defense line of Jiangnan Daofu on the existing basis.
At this moment, Yan Yongzhen hurried to Qi Xuansu's side and delivered a letter with both hands: "Great Master, Jiangnan urgently reported."
Qi Xuansu took the official letter and swept it quickly, stretching his eyebrows halfway, and it was not easy: "It's indeed Jiangnan!"
It was easy because Qi Xuansu guessed correctly, and the main attack direction of the Qin-Li Alliance was indeed Jiangnan.
It is not easy because the result of the Jiangnan War is hard to say, and no one is sure to win.
At this time, above the river, there were also flying boat fleets that covered the sky and the sun.
Although most of the warships are in Tiangang Hall, the Marine Hall can also temporarily transform cargo ships into warships. After all, gun positions are reserved when building flying boats, just add naval guns.
Even if there are some shortcomings in spiritual officials, the Taoist priests on the flying boat account for half of them.
On the other side are flags like clouds, and according to the command, they are arranged in various queues.
Looking down from above, there are huge talismans that eventually form a large formation that cannot be seen at all.
Then one "star" after another was summoned by the formation and turned into one god after another. Each god was thirty feet high and stood on the thunder clouds.
It is Zheng Yidao's thirty-six Thunder Gods.
The Tianshi did not perfunctory Qi Xuansu and directly brought out Zheng Yidao's family background.
