Father, like son.

In dealing with the 50,000-strong army of the Daxuan Dynasty, Emperor Wenchang, a latecomer, saw many problems and had better countermeasures.

Huang Tian, ​​the Taiyi Rescuer Tianzun and the theoretical supreme leader of Luanzhou, was unable to interfere when the Hunjun of the Daxuan Dynasty sent an army of 50,000 to suppress Luanzhou.

Even if I think of some other methods later, I can only provide a little indirect guidance, but not much.

Therefore, the battle against the 50,000-strong army of the Daxuan Dynasty that entered Luanzhou fell to the command of a group of deities headed by the young goddess Li Lingsu.

Whether it is from gods or from living beings, believers, people, or officials, they all rely on Li Lingsu for the final decision in everything.

These people and gods could only give some suggestions and provide references, but they could not help Li Lingsu much.

After all, Li Lingsu shouldered everything alone.

When it comes to dealing with the Daxuan Dynasty's 50,000-strong army, it cannot be said that Li Lingsu did something wrong.

On the contrary, Li Lingsu did the right thing.

At that time, Taiyi rescued Ku Tianzun and killed the Black Mountain Ghost King, the biggest boss of demons and ghosts in Luanzhou, in a battle, scaring away all the demons and ghosts in Luanzhou and letting all the prefectures and counties in Luanzhou decide.

Even in order to submit to Tianzun's command as soon as possible, some counties that were deeply oppressed even broke out a bloody anti-oppression struggle.

Tianzun's territory suddenly expanded from the four counties, which even Yunlong Mansion had not completely digested, to the entire Luanzhou.

Insufficient followers of God, insufficient spiritual life, and believers’ unsteady beliefs are all problems.

Do the original mountain gods and city gods and Yinsi gods in each prefecture and county need to be preserved? What can be kept and what should be removed? All are problems.

Among the existing officials in each prefecture and county, who can be used? Who can't use it? All are problems.

Among the original big families in each prefecture and county, which ones were severely punished? Which ones are commended? What are some small punishments and big warnings to see the effects? All are problems.

The livelihood of people in various prefectures and counties is a problem, their physical health is a problem, and their interpersonal relationships are a problem.

All in all, Luanzhou is full of problems and they all need to be solved.

If these problems are not resolved for a long time, unspeakable chaos may break out in Luanzhou, which is already unstable.

When internal and external troubles come together, how will we deal with them?

It should be noted that at that time, Li Lingsu had clearly sensed that Tianzun was temporarily gone, and could only pay attention to it, but he could no longer appear in front of others, solve problems in person, and solve the people/gods/demon that caused the problems like he had done several times before.

The subordinates of Tianzun in Luanzhou can only rely on their own strength to deal with the crisis.

In this case, how to choose?

Li Lingsu chose An Nei based on his own intuition, and then fought against the 50,000-strong army of the Daxuan Dynasty.

There is no problem with the principle that before fighting against external forces, one must first settle within.

Under the guidance of this principle, Li Lingsu's various measures have also achieved very impressive results.

The continuous upgrades of the "Altar of Legends" and the "List of Conferred Gods" have caused the number of people and gods available to Li Lingsu to skyrocket.

Let Taiyi, who was not yet called "Taipingdao" at that time, save Ku Tianzun's subordinates and achieve rough control of all prefectures and counties in Luanzhou.

The problem that Emperor Wenchang saw was not within An, but with foreign affairs.

Since the senior officials represented by Li Lingsu have seen that the 50,000-strong army of the Daxuan Dynasty is Luanzhou's most serious problem, why don't they want to keep the enemy out of Luanzhou?

Why should the 50,000-strong army of the Daxuan Dynasty be put into the already unstable Luanzhou territory to fight this battle?
Why should an army of 50,000 be allowed to march to Luanzhou so easily and safely?

When Emperor Wenchang asked these three reasons, there was silence in the Tianzun Temple and in front of the jade statue.

Li Jianren, Li Jianyi, and Hu Buqu looked at each other.

Gong Zizhen, who had temporarily set his political goal on the official position of Luanzhou Mu, lowered his head.

Li Lingsu's face had no expression, but there was deep self-blame hidden deep in his eyes.

Why didn't she think of these three reasons?
"It's not too late to make up for the situation before it's too late."

Emperor Wenchang's voice then sounded in the Tianzun Temple, "It doesn't matter if you didn't realize these problems before. It's not too late to realize them now. Even if the 50,000-strong army sent by Daxuanhunjun marches day and night from now on, it will not be able to It will take ten days to arrive in Luanzhou. We still have enough time to make sufficient preparations.”

After speaking, Emperor Wenchang looked at Li Lingsu, waiting for the de facto top leader of Luanzhou to express his views and attitude.

Politically, many things cannot be pushed down with force.

Even with Taiyi's endorsement of the Suffering Heavenly Lord, he also has the personality and strength of the Purple Emperor Heavenly Lord/Emperor. Emperor Wenchang is completely capable of being arbitrary and insistent.

However, Emperor Wenchang, who was once a mature politician, would definitely not be so rigid.

Li Lingsu did not disappoint Emperor Wenchang, and stood up decisively. His voice was calm but firm, and he said: "Emperor, God oracle, all matters big and small in Luanzhou are decided by the emperor. The emperor has orders, and Li Lingsu will definitely abide by them."

The divine envoys with the highest status, the strongest strength, and those closest to Tianzun have expressed their opinions like this. Naturally, Congshen, Lu Sheng, and officials will not stand in disbelief.

A group of people and gods quickly united under the leadership of Emperor Wenchang.

However, Emperor Wenchang did not take advantage of the situation and ignore the young goddess Li Lingsu. Instead, he began to increase Li Lingsu's authority. He solemnly said: "Tianzun has decreed that Li Lingsu is a priest of Taiping Dao and will preside over all religious and secular affairs within Taiping Dao."

"The faithful woman Li Lingsu bows to the Heavenly Lord."

Li Lingsu immediately accepted the order and paid homage to the jade statue.

When she stood up, the nine-color divine light behind the head of the jade statue suddenly became extremely bright, shining on her body.

Both Hagoromo and the Dharma Sword have been strengthened.

In Li Lingsu's hand, there was an additional magic seal.

This seal is made of a piece of fine jade selected by Taiyi Rescuer Tianzun from the trophies gained after killing the Black Mountain Ghost King. It contains many miracles and many humane merits.

Its style also refers to the Yangping Zhidu Gong Seal and the Jiulaoxian Du Seal.

With the feather robe, magic sword, and magic seal given by Tianzun in hand, Li Lingsu, the priest of Taiping Taoism, sat firmly and no one could criticize him.

At this time, Emperor Wenchang suddenly disappeared, his body disappeared, and he did not know where he went.

Li Lingsu felt blessed in her heart and understood. She took a step forward, stood closest to the jade statue, and slowly turned around.

The magic sword carried behind him automatically drew an arc and came to Li Lingsu.

Stretching out his left hand, holding the scabbard of the magic sword, hanging it on his waist, and holding the newly acquired magic seal in his right hand, Li Lingsu stood solemnly.

The nine-colored divine light behind the head of the jade statue was once again extremely blazing.

A golden light also shot out from the center of his eyebrows.

A Taoist crown similar to the Lotus Crown of the Supreme Purity was placed on Li Lingsu's head out of thin air, just like a Dharma seal.

"Meet Zongji!"

People and gods in Tianzun Temple paid homage to Li Lingsu at the same time.

Li Lingsu accepted the gift calmly and then walked back to where he originally stood.

After this ceremony, Emperor Wenchang appeared again and said a little apologetically: "Fellow Taoist Lingsu, when you ascended the throne of the Taiping Taoist Sect, you should have held a ceremony, but due to the urgency of the matter, we can only wrong Taoist Lingsu. "

Emperor Wenchang called Li Lingsu "taoist friend", which highlighted his respect for Li Lingsu. This further highlights his respect for the authority of the Taiping Dao priests.

It also contains a deeper meaning.

Li Lingsu could vaguely sense the deeper meaning, but now he couldn't discern it immediately, so he solemnly said: "Thank you, Emperor."

After such a response, the very brief enthronement ceremony of the Taiping Dao Sect came to an end.

Emperor Wenchang immediately brought the topic back to business: "My intention is to keep the enemy out of Luanzhou and carry out three strategies at the same time. The first is to tire the enemy, the second is to strengthen the wall and clear the field, and the third is to attack and kill."

"How to tire out the enemy?"

"Tianzun instructed that we should proceed according to the sixteen-character policy: when the enemy advances, we retreat, when the enemy is stationed, we harass, when the enemy is tired, we attack, when the enemy retreats, we pursue. Organize an elite force and use guerrilla methods to tire out the enemy and harass the enemy, so that the enemy's The morale and morale of the military have been greatly weakened.”

"The weakening of the enemy's morale and military strength is the enhancement of our morale and military strength."

"How to strengthen the wall and clear the field?"

"Tianzun has instructed that we should not only leave the Luanzhou border areas that may be attacked by the enemy not a grain of rice or a drop of clean water for the enemy to drink, but also use friendly, peaceful and non-coercive methods. In this way, other areas adjacent to Luanzhou can also do the same."

"This can increase the enemy's logistical support pressure, lengthen the enemy's logistical support line, and possibly create opportunities to cut off the enemy's food routes."

"At the same time, it will further weaken the enemy's morale and morale."

"How to attack and kill?"

"There is a saying in the art of war: use the right combination to win by surprise."

"Whether this 'miracle' is interpreted as a surprise soldier, a clever strategy, or a reserve team or a backhand, it cannot be separated from the direct attack on the battlefield."

"If you want to win, a head-on battlefield confrontation is always the most basic and important point."

"Therefore, it is my intention to organize all the Congshen, Lusheng, soldiers and horses that can be organized to form an army that can confront the Daxuan Imperial Court's 50,000-strong army, and conduct urgent and intensive training."

"It doesn't matter how strong you have to be, at least you have to be able to listen to commands and lay a solid foundation for victory in the decisive battle."

Emperor Wenchang finished all the arrangements and covered everything.

None of these three strategies exceed Taiping Dao's current capabilities.

If you mobilize urgently, it will be implemented soon.

What Li Lingsu, Taoist Zizhu, and Yan Chixiao didn't quite understand was which decisive battle did Emperor Wenchang refer to when he said victory in the decisive battle?
What counts as victory?

How to fight again!

However, seeing that Emperor Wenchang did not intend to elaborate, Li Lingsu and the others did not ask any more questions.

Without further ado, at the instruction of Emperor Wenchang, Li Lingsu immediately took charge of an important task after the establishment of Taiping Road, implementing the three strategies given by Emperor Wenchang to resist foreign enemies.

The first is the elite of the exhausted enemy.

After careful consideration, Li Lingsu decided to leave the matter to Zizhu Taoist and lead a group of followers who had left the mark of the true spirit on the "God List".

First, you can ensure your loyalty without worrying about your whereabouts being leaked.

Secondly, each of these gods had soldiers and horses allocated by the Heavenly Lord, and each of them was smelted according to the smelting method contributed by Zizhu Taoist.

Not only are the slave gods good at fighting, they can come and go freely, and they are not in danger of falling completely.

As long as the "Apotheosis of the Gods" captures the true spirit of the dead god in time, it can spend a certain amount of humane merit to resurrect it.

The same goes for the troops and horses allocated.

Thirdly, this is also a test.

The second is the matter of strengthening the walls and clearing the fields.

Considering what Emperor Wenchang said, although Gong Zizhen is somewhat lacking in ability, he is more loyal and worthy of training.

Li Lingsu handed over the task of strengthening the walls and clearing the country to Gong Zizhen.

Whether the word "dai" can be removed from the name of Luanzhou Mu and become the real Luanzhou Mu depends on whether Gong Zizhen can organize the officials and people of various prefectures and counties in Luanzhou this time to complete the task of strengthening the walls and clearing the country.

If it is done well, Gong Zizhen will naturally be able to stand and sit securely.

If something goes wrong, officials in Taoshan County, Fuli County and other counties are not without political ambitions!
Finally, the most basic and important point mentioned by Emperor Wenchang is the confrontation on the frontal battlefield.

Can Taiping Dao raise an army?
absolutely okay!

The key is how to pull it, and who should be the main ones?
Li Lingsu made the decision without much hesitation.

Lu Sheng is the main one, and Lu Sheng's personal soldiers and horses are the main ones.

It's not that she thinks that war is not a matter of civilians and that civilians should be excluded.

Instead, facing the 50,000 well-trained troops of the Daxuan Dynasty, civilians who have not undergone strict training can do some logistics-related things, but they really cannot just be dragged onto the battlefield.

That's not called fighting, it's called committing suicide.

It was decided that Lu Sheng and Lu Sheng's personal soldiers and horse generals would raise an army for a decisive battle with the Daxuan Dynasty's 50,000-strong army. The question that Li Lingsu had to pay attention to was how this army should fight!
The army of the Daxuan Dynasty fought mainly with military formations and formations.

Pay attention to one: it is as fast as the wind, as slow as the forest, as aggressive as fire, as motionless as a mountain, as unpredictable as shadow, and as moving as thunder.

It also pays attention to the timing of the heavens above and the right location below.

What's more, it pays more attention to transforming parts into wholes, combining small ones into big ones, and directing the army like an arm, so that the 50,000-strong army is like a whole, which can not only strike with thunder, but also continue to fight.

Not to mention whether the Lusheng army, which was assembled in a hurry and lacked training, could achieve such a tacit understanding.

Li Lingsu felt very embarrassed just to command the army in a unified way.

She never learned!

Among the Taiping Taoists in Luanzhou, there are many people who are most likely to have access to this piece of knowledge and ability.

For example, Gong Zizhen, whose wife is a descendant of the Wang family of Sanhuai, knows more or less about her.

but……

Soldiers are important matters of the country, the place of life and death, and the path to survival. We must pay attention to them!

If one general is incompetent, don't do too many things that will kill the three armies.

How dare Li Lingsu trust Gong Zizhen, who only knew a little about it, to command Lusheng's army?
I can't rest assured.

"Why worry about the ancestral sacrifice?"

Emperor Wenchang suddenly appeared next to Li Lingsu. Looking at the girl who was in deep sorrow and could not find a solution for a long time, he smiled and then solemnly said, "Confucian people, only by allowing civil and military forces and fighting to stop war can we achieve peace." May there be peace for all eternity!”

"Although a certain person is not as good at planning as Fang Xiang, Du Xiang is good at judgment, and he has also offered suggestions to quell chaos."

"Why are the clan priests worried that there will be no one to lead the army?"

Li Lingsu felt calm after hearing this, but at the same time she had another doubt.

Is this really Emperor Wenchang, not Emperor Zhenwu? (End of chapter)
