Spring and Autumn Confucian Heroes

Chapter 382
Everyone in the Shanhai Gang and the meeting hall had solemn faces.

"Sovereign, we can't wait any longer. Look at the posture of the officers and soldiers. They must be scouting the terrain. Then when the army arrives, they will come to attack our Shanhai Gang."

"We can't sit still and wait for death, we should take advantage of the arrival of Song's army and strike first!"

At this time, the faces of many elders of the Shanhai Gang showed extremely solemn expressions.

One of them was even more excited, stood up and waved his arms and shouted loudly, his face flushed.

Although they are usually full of arrogance, they also know the gap between their sect and the vassal states. If Song Guo is really determined to wipe out the Shanhai Gang, without other foreign aid, the Shanhai Gang will definitely be destroyed.

At the beginning, the suzerain of the Shanhai Gang went to invite the junior uncle to come out of the mountain, helped them restrict Huanchang, and then killed the two hundred cavalry to relieve their anger.

It's just that, although the little uncle has a temper, he doesn't like to fight, and he has lived long enough, so his knowledge is naturally extraordinary.

At that time, the little uncle just asked the suzerain of the Shanhai Gang: "If Song Guo is angered and the other party is mobilized, what should I do?"

Hearing this question, the suzerain of the Shanhai Gang was stunned on the spot, unable to speak for a long time.

Dominating one side for a long time has already made the suzerain of the Shanhai Gang not to pay much attention to Song's strength.

He never thought that Song Guo dared to attack the Shanhai Gang.

Now being reminded by the little uncle, the suzerain of the Shanhai Gang suddenly realized, and immediately felt cold sweat dripping down his back.

"What's more, the reason why we established the sect is not to cede land and stand on our own, but to gather like-minded people, pass on martial arts, and then pursue the ultimate martial arts."

"But the vast majority of sect masters have long forgotten this original intention, and instead began to compete with the princes for power and profit. If you want to achieve success in martial arts with this state of mind, it is as difficult as reaching the sky!"

After finishing speaking, the little martial uncle let out a long sigh and drifted away towards the distance.

In fact, many masters in the sect do not have a strong desire for power, and the vast majority of real masters are still obsessed with pursuing martial arts.

The reason why the Zongmen and the vassal states have been in constant friction is, after all, because these strong men cannot break the incense and love, and when the Zongmen is in danger, they are forced to help.

Most of the time, these strong men live in seclusion in the mountains and forests, and don't care about world affairs.

If there is no such state of mind, martial arts experts will not be able to achieve this kind of achievement.

It was after hearing the words of the little uncle that the suzerain of the Shanhai sect did not send people to hunt down and kill two hundred cavalrymen, but instead began to restrain the disciples of the sect, not to conflict with the Song army.

What he didn't expect was that when the Shanhai Gang had already made a lot of concessions, the disciples found many cavalrymen who were constantly scouting in the territory of the Shanhai Gang.

The suzerain of the Shanhai Gang sent people to pursue it, but Fei Fei didn't get anything, but his disciples suffered heavy casualties instead.

Just when the members of the Shanhai Gang felt that Song Guo was going to attack him, they sent people to scout the terrain, but they learned that there was an army coming towards Shanyang County.

After hearing the news, everyone in the Shanhai Gang immediately changed their colors, and many people felt that the mountain and the rain were about to come.

"The previous part was just a guess. Now that I know that the army of the Song Dynasty is gathering towards Shanhai County, and the banditry in Shanhai County has been cleared, I can't think of any other reason besides dealing with the Shanhai Gang."

The suzerain of the Shanhai Gang stood up, his expression a little cloudy.

"Since this is the case, we have no reason to retreat. Send me an order to recall all the experienced disciples, and gather the soldiers and horses of the sect to fight to the death!"

Thirty thousand Song soldiers are on their way to Lido, and now there are only five days left. If Song Guo really wants to destroy the Shanhai Gang, if they still don't make any moves, it won't be long before they die.

In Lidu City, Huan Chang finally had a smile on his face after listening to the scout's report.

"If the Shanhai Gang keeps shrinking, even if the soldiers and horses arrive here, I can't find a reason to attack them."

"Now that they have started to move, this war is inevitable."

Huan Chang led the army this time, not only preparing to wipe out the banditry in the territory, but if he caught the handle of the second- and third-rate sects, he would not hesitate to attack them.

Zongmen's self-reliance has always been an internal problem that cannot be ignored for the Song Dynasty. If any opportunity is found, the vassal states will take action to weaken the strength of the Zongmen in the country.

However, considering that the major sects are connected with each other, if there is not enough excuse, the princes will not dare to act rashly.

Huan Chang sent people to investigate in the territory of the Shanhai Gang, precisely to lure snakes out of the cave and give them the illusion that the Song army was preparing to attack the Shanhai Gang.

As long as the Shanhai Gang takes the lead, the last obstacle to the Shanhai Gang will be cleared up.

At that time, even if the other sects wanted to intervene, Song Guo could still occupy the highest point of morality.

"Give me an order, don't take the lead in launching an attack on the Shanhai Gang!"

"If the city closest to the Shanhai Gang cannot be defended, they can just abandon the city and leave. The city owner and defenders will not be punished."

It has to be said that although the Shanhai Gang is only a third-rate sect, its strength should not be underestimated, and the speed of mobilizing troops and horses is also extremely fast.

In three days, the Shanhai Gang dispatched masters and troops to capture two counties successively, and the city owners of the two counties fled in anticipation.

At the same time, the [-] Song State army bound for Lido was blocked on a narrow road, unable to move forward at all.

It turned out that there were also wise men in the Shanhai Gang who knew that if an army of [-] was allowed to enter Lidu, the outcome of this war would be unpredictable.

For the current plan, only by slowing down the marching speed of the [-] troops first, and then capturing Shanyang County in a flash, can the Song State be forced to accept the peace talks.

Therefore, the Shanhai Gang dispatched many masters to set up roadblocks on the only way for the [-] troops to block them by using narrow terrain.

To be on the safe side, even the unfathomable junior uncle of the Shanhai Gang went with the army this time.

At this time, the little uncle knew the plight of the Shanhai Gang, although he didn't want to participate in the war, but for the sake of the sect, he could only agree in the end.

In a face-to-face confrontation, these masters may not be able to stop the [-] army.

But they occupy a favorable terrain, as long as they use the advantages of masters to block the marching route of the Song army, even if the [-] army fights hard, there is nothing they can do.

"General, the two cities of the Shanhai Gang, Lianke, have already rushed towards Lidu. The [-] army is blocked, but what should we do?"

The Sheriff of Shanyang County had a serious expression on his face, and there was a little worry in his eyes.

This time, the Shanhai gang was mobilized in full force, and they came to kill Lido aggressively. With Lido's current strength, they may not be able to block the opponent's attack.

When Huan Chang heard the words, he just looked into the distance, and after a long time he said: "Your Majesty, don't worry, the soldiers will block you, and the water will cover you with earth."

"As long as I'm here, Lido will not be breached."
