Chapter 972
Chapter 980 IX The Pre-war Consultative Conference of the Central Plains Factions
On the third-to-last day before the start of the National War, the game system officially opened the faction declaration process for all factions in the Jianghu, requiring each faction in the Jianghu to choose a side to join within three days. Therefore, each faction quickly made a choice of camp, and the result was basically consistent with the previous rumors in the Jianghu. Only the remnants of the Murong family led by Murong Feng chose to join the Dongyi Kingdom, which was somewhat unexpected.

In fact, from an objective point of view, it was a helpless move for Murong Feng to take refuge in the Dongyi Kingdom's camp despite the huge pressure of public opinion.

Previously, the internal coup of the Murong family split into two factions. The faction headed by Mrs. Murong took refuge in the Wangqing Pavilion, which made the Murong family's strength not as good as before, and the enclave of Peach Blossom Island, Guiyunzhuang, was under the same roof as the Murong family. There has been constant friction between the two factions in the area around Taihu Lake. If it wasn't for the Murong family's weak advantage of occupying the top spot and suppressing the development of Guiyunzhuang, Peach Blossom Island would have moved to Guiyunzhuang to expand to the Central Plains.

But now, since Peach Blossom Island is unwilling to join the camp of the Central Dynasty with Dongyi Kingdom, the Murong family has to do the opposite, because if the Murong family also joins the camp of the Central Dynasty, the main base will be affected during the national war. The Peach Blossom Island threatened by the Dongyi Kingdom has a very legitimate reason to ask the Murong family to stop suppressing the Central Plains enclave Guiyunzhuang, and the Murong family also has to consider the pressure of public opinion in the world and cooperate with the other party.

But in this way, Peach Blossom Island can justifiably set up camp in the Central Plains to consolidate the status of Guiyun Village in the Central Plains. Once it is over, the Murong family may be suppressed by Peach Blossom Island because of raising tigers, and it will be even more depressed. There is even a huge risk of being gradually eroded by Peach Blossom Island and eventually destroying the family. From the looks of it, Murong Feng and his family can only choose to confront Peach Blossom Island in order to save their lives from desperation. As for being accused of being a "traitor" by someone online, Murong Feng can only hold his nose and admit it.

At the same time as the faction declaration process started, the game system also announced that the Nine Kingdoms War forces had already started the initial operations of stationing troops in their respective capital strongholds.

According to the data released by the game announcement, the first batch of refreshed NPC troops reached 2000 million. Except for the Central Dynasty, which accounted for more than 1000% of the total military strength, which is more than [-] million, the other powers have an average of [-] troops. About [-] people were stationed in the Mongolian stronghold "Yili City", the Khitan stronghold "Bahrain City", the Jurchen stronghold "Hetuala City", the Dongyi stronghold in the Central Plains "Taizhou City", the southeast island stronghold "Qiongzhou City", The "Fenghua City" of the Nanman Kingdom, the "Dali City" of the Xixia Kingdom, and the "Dogansi City" of the Tianzhu Kingdom.

Although the NPC force of the Central Dynasty is more than twice that of other power countries, the game system seems to be partial to the Central Dynasty. In fact, because the territory controlled by the Central Dynasty is too wide, more than 2000 million troops are scattered in various city strongholds Finally, it is simply a drop in the bucket.

According to the distribution of military forces in the central dynasty, only the military towns on the edge of the territory were assigned some troops, such as Taiyuan, Kaifeng, Ningbo, Quanzhou, Foshan, Chengdu, Lanzhou, and Lingzhou each received 200 million troops, while Luoyang, Chang'an, Yangzhou, Xiangyang, Jingzhou, Nanyang and other towns in the hinterland of the Central Plains have a total military strength of only 400 million. It is conceivable how the situation will affect the Central Dynasty once the other power states in the eight directions bring tens of millions of troops to separate and invade the Central Plains. disadvantage.

In view of this, the various factions in the Central Plains who had obtained the military deployment map of the Central Dynasty spontaneously organized a pre-war consultation meeting. The division of labor and deployment issues, and intends to select some capable and prestigious personnel from the high-level factions to jointly form the Anti-Japanese War General Headquarters to coordinate and command the forces of the various factions, and formulate tactics and strategies to deal with future national wars.

However, due to the serious underestimation of the future situation by the various factions and their leaders in the Central Plains, and out of consideration of their own interests, the first National War Consultation Conference did not go very smoothly.

As the head of the Wangqing Pavilion, Fang Jie naturally attended the meeting in person, accompanied by Qiu Xin, the great elder of the Wangqing Pavilion.

For the entire rivers and lakes, it has become the Wangqing Pavilion of the big factions of the rivers and lakes, especially the attitude of its leader Fang Jie, who is known as the invincible under heaven, is particularly critical and important. Many rivers and lakes forces in the Central Plains even think that Fang Jie and his With the Wangqing Pavilion, the Central Dynasty’s regime will definitely not fall. This is one of the reasons why various factions in the Central Plains and even some fringe sects are willing to join the Central Dynasty’s forces. After all, it is good to enjoy the shade under the big tree.

But what is surprising is that Fang Jie, who is regarded as the backbone by everyone, did not make any remarks at this meeting, and Qiu Xin, the great elder of Wangqing Pavilion who accompanied him to the meeting, only said silently that Wangqing Pavilion will be firm. As for the specific division of labor and deployment of the various factions, Qiu Xin just laughed and said that this matter should be resolved by everyone through consultation. Wangqing Pavilion will not express any opinions on this, but promises to bear the responsibility of Xiangyang City and its surrounding areas. Regional security and defense tasks.

Seeing that Wangqing Pavilion seems to have made up their minds to clean up the snow this time, and has no intention of competing for the command of the War of Resistance. Some other factions in the world who originally wanted Wangqing Pavilion to be the first bird were disappointed, and their minds became active. The leaders of some major factions stood up excitedly to express their positions, and made it clear that they hoped to occupy a certain degree of dominance in the soon-to-be-established Central Plains Anti-Japanese War Command.

During the meeting, the most eye-catching performer was the head of the Beggar Gang, the Beggar Gang. He said that, as one of the major sects with the largest number of disciples, the Beggar Gang has the obligation and responsibility to take on the important task of leading the various factions in the Central Plains to resist foreign invasion. Therefore, While promising that the Beggar Gang will lead everyone to win this national war at all costs, they also volunteered to serve as the commander-in-chief of the Anti-Japanese War in the Central Plains!
In this regard, Fang Jie, who is his strong competitor, also did not express a clear opinion, but only praised the courage of the beggars among the beggars, and said that as long as other factions have no opinions, he has no opinion.

Needless to say, if Fang Jie was the commander-in-chief of the Anti-Japanese War, the other factions would not dare to say anything in person even if they had opinions. ... The other sects, especially the leaders of the big sects, did not look good to him.

The most unconvinced and the first to raise objections was Zhuge Wuming, the deputy head of Mingjiao. Obviously, Zhuge Wuming's attitude also represented the attitude of Mingjiao and its head, Fengchu Yijianxiu. On the screen, Zhuge Wuming played a black-faced character, taking the lead for Feng Chu Yi Jianxiu who was not convenient to show up.

Zhuge Wuming’s objection was that although the leader of the Beggar Gang, Beggar Zhonggai, was indeed qualified and capable of serving as the commander-in-chief of the War of Resistance, considering the actual situation of the national war, it was not appropriate for Beggar Zhonggai to be the commander-in-chief of the War of Resistance, because Mingjiao Located in Kunlun Mountains, on the edge of the territory of the Central Dynasty, after the start of the national war, it may face the flanking attack of Mongolia, Tianzhu, and Xixia. The beggar gang will not encounter any danger for a while.

Therefore, if the beggars among the beggars coordinate the various factions in general, they may make wrong decisions due to insufficient understanding of the current situation. A decision that is in line with the interests of various factions in the Central Plains can be summed up in a word-Mingjiao seriously distrusts the gang of beggars who once squeezed it out of Tongren Lane's controlling forces, and believes that it is difficult for beggars among beggars to protect the interests of Mingjiao objectively and fairly. The conductor must be a member of the Ming Cult!

Zhuge Wuming's speech naturally angered the ambitious beggar among beggars, but he had to admit that Mingjiao's objection was indeed tenable, and it didn't matter whether he admitted it or not, the key If everyone in the meeting listened to these words, everyone would think that, as a beggar among beggars, it is really possible to use the opportunity of this national war to secretly suppress all factions, so even if the post of commander-in-chief of the Anti-Japanese War is just a false name, it is absolutely impossible. It cannot fall into the hands of beggars among beggars.

Fan Chaodan, head of one of the famous Wudang sects, naturally thought so too, but he did not stand up like Zhuge Wuming and point the finger at beggars among beggars. Most of it is just a symbolic meaning. In fact, it is relatively limited in terms of coordinating the rights of the various factions. After the start of the national war, each faction should still make independent decisions according to their own conditions. may play a role.

Of course, if a nominal commander-in-chief had to be elected, Fan Chaodan expressed his willingness to support Du Chen, the head of the Shaolin Temple, who has always been politically neutral and prudent, to take on this important task. The position of commander-in-chief is not of much interest, and he only needs to be able to enjoy a certain right to speak in the Anti-Japanese War headquarters to protect the interests of the Wudang faction.

Apparently, although Rice Scrambled Eggs didn't say it clearly, it has already rejected both Beggars in Beggars and Feng Chuyi Jianxiu, and also brought out Du Chen, the head of Shaolin Temple. Du Chen is by no means inferior to Beggar Among Beggars and Feng Chuyi Jianxiu. This candidate has also been approved by other people present at the meeting, expressing their support for Du Chen to lead the various factions in the Central Plains to resist foreign aggression.

However, unexpectedly, Du Chen, who was pushed to the stage, was not at all interested in this so-called commander-in-chief of the Anti-Japanese War. He immediately bluntly stated that the attitude of Shaolin Temple was to sweep the door, and he had no interest or intention to lead the Central Plains Various factions, as for the reasons, Du Chen didn't say clearly, only said that if he had to choose someone, he would still prefer Fang Jie, who is superior in strength.

No one expected that everyone would go around, and after a circle, they would go around to Fang Jie. If Fang Jie was willing to be the commander-in-chief of the War of Resistance, no one would be able to give a reason to refute, but the problem is, Fang Jie Interest and ambition only lie in the ultimate martial arts, as for the national war...

Fang Jie's attitude is very clear, he only wants to protect himself, not to be famous in the world, and to unify the world. Deep down in his heart, he even thinks that the game system has created this national war system to cause trouble for him, preventing him from pursuing the ultimate goal with all his heart. The goal, if he hadn't considered that Wangqing Pavilion might need to cooperate with various factions during the national war, he wouldn't even come to this so-called national war consultation meeting, let alone ask for trouble to be the commander-in-chief of the war of resistance.

Since there is no intention of a great unification among the major sects, other small and medium-sized sects with little right to speak can only sit on the sidelines, so this consultation meeting ended hastily in the end. At the meeting, it was promised that they would try their best to ensure that the spheres of influence and territories under their respective jurisdictions would not be lost, that is, to clean up the door, but they could do nothing about other places or other factions. As for the so-called Anti-Japanese War Command, it eventually became Just a joke, this department never existed from beginning to end.

However, after the meeting, the heads of the four major sects, Beggar Among Beggars, Fan Chaodan, Fengchu Yijianxiu, and Duchen, all had private exchanges with Fang Jie, and the purpose was basically the same, that is, to get rid of Wangqing Pavilion. Seek common ground while reserving differences, work together, and jointly defend against foreign enemies. As for the specific cooperation method, the beggars in the school and the rice fried eggs, whose sect base is closer to Xiangyang City, have come up with preliminary cooperation plans. In addition to providing material support at a relatively low price, Wangqing Pavilion can provide military help and support when Jingzhou City and Yangzhou City are facing danger.

Fang Jie naturally has no reason to refuse these people's demands. If Xiangyang City, which is located in the hinterland of the Central Plains, can avoid the flames of war, and the Wangqing Pavilion only provides some logistical support and limited force support, it can win this battle with the help of other factions. In the case of the national war, he is definitely happy to see it happen.

Of course, according to Fang Jie's inner thoughts and speculations, the possibility of the above assumptions being true is almost zero, because judging from the performance of the leaders of the various factions during the consultation meeting, it is obvious that the severe situation in the future is underestimated, and I believe that the disciples of the various factions also have the same opinion. A kind of self-conceit that is not to worry about, thinking that they can completely cope with this national war with their own strength, and many people even regard this national war as an excellent opportunity to make a fortune and get ahead without any effort, so Let alone the factions in the Central Plains cooperating, even if they continue to fight among themselves as before, they feel that they can still stand firm!
On the other hand, the eight major foreign powers each have tens of millions of troops, and this is the first batch of troops. Except for the South China Sea island country that has no player sects to join, the other seven powers have sects to join, and their political composition is relatively simple. It is easier to form a unified force in terms of command power and tactical formulation. If the various factions in the Central Plains fight independently, they are likely to be defeated one by one. Therefore, Fang Jie concluded that Wangqing Pavilion in the hinterland of the Central Plains will be forced to join in sooner or later. to this national war.

However, although Fang Jie saw a not-so-optimistic future and believed that the heads of the four sects should see this clearly, due to their respective interests and the complexity of the struggles of the various factions, as well as the vast majority of players in the current arena They have not yet made enough psychological preparations. Fang Jie felt that instead of trying to persuade everyone to face up to the severe situation in the future and cooperate with a positive attitude at the consultation meeting, it is better to simply keep silent and watch this group of people collide first. After the head is broken and the blood is painful, he will come forward to clean up the mess.

Obviously, from a subjective point of view, Fang Jie's attitude and actions seem a bit cold-blooded and irresponsible, at least not considering the fundamental interests of the majority of players. Perhaps, if he takes the lead to lead the various factions in the Central Plains to resist foreign enemies, the specific process It may have taken a lot of hard work, but I believe that the national war can still be won in the end, and it can also reduce the casualties and losses of players from various factions in the Central Plains due to the national war to a certain extent.

It's a pity that Fang Jie is not a saint in the first place, and he doesn't have the lofty sentiments to benefit the world. He doesn't have the leisure to waste his time and energy to protect the interests of all the sects and all players in the Central Plains, and he will never do it earnestly. Explaining what to persuade, he just made a very realistic and direct choice, which is the so-called no break, no stand, while continuing to level up with peace of mind, while waiting for the original pattern of the entire arena to be broken, and waiting for everyone to wake up and come over eagerly. Looking at him, I sincerely hope that he can lead everyone to fight against the enemy, and when the vital interests of Wangqing Pavilion are affected and have to resist, he will strike a thunderbolt again. Presumably in that case, I can save a lot of time, energy and energy .

In fact, not to mention Fang Jie, presumably the heads of the four sects have the same thoughts more or less. After all, players who can become the heads of the big sects are by no means ordinary people, let alone fools. As well as the mentality of the players, everyone can see it, and it is very clear that this mentality of underestimating the enemy is not good for the future national war. If the small faction has this abnormal mentality, the result may be wiped out, but the big faction will not Similarly, because the family is rich, a little loss in the early stage can hardly hurt the fundamentals, so these people are turning a blind eye at the moment, but they still have a lot of energy in their hearts, imagining that the savior who will turn the tide in the future is themselves ...

Regardless of what kind of thoughts the leaders of the various factions in Jianghu have at this time, in short, on the third day after the end of the negotiation meeting, the long-awaited national war that the players have finally officially kicked off!
As soon as the national war started, the huge NPC army that had been waiting for a long time in the town of the stronghold of the power country marched out of the city at an orderly pace, and under the command of the leaders of the power countries of all sides, began to attack the Central Plains from all directions. The major cities and towns moved forward separately, and for a while, the whole rivers and lakes were full of flames...
