Chronicles of Celestial Origins

In Mubei, in the solemn meeting hall, high-level officials from all parties gathered together. Above the main seat, three desks stood side by side, with three men sitting there.

On the left is a person with a lion's nose and a wide mouth, a tall body and majestic weapons. He is the golden-eyed griffin clan Kong Lin.

The person in the middle has a fair complexion and his eyebrows are flying sideways. He is the colorful peacock Yunfei.

The person on the right has a swallow's jaw and a tiger's beard, a tiger's body and a wolf's waist. He is Xuanzhen of the Qingjiao clan.

"Thank you fellow Taoists for taking the time out of your busy schedule to come here to discuss this matter. You are all old friends, so I won't say too many polite words. I invite you to come this time because I have an important matter to discuss. The former, there is someone over there in Liangzhou. We have sent envoys here to make an appointment to attack Qingzhou again. What do you think?" Yunfei said straight to the point.

Zuo Konglin then said: "My clan has had this intention for a long time. You all must know that the whole Qingzhou is now in a mess. Due to the split of the Jiang family, the Xuanmen forces are divided into two factions and are killing each other. This is correct. This is a golden opportunity. While they are fighting among themselves, we can move our army south and capture Qingzhou in one fell swoop."

"The alliance in Liangzhou has also made a guarantee. As long as something happens to me, they will respond immediately and mobilize a large army to attack the front line of Liangzhou to contain the main force of Xuanmen and prevent them from sending manpower to support Qingzhou."

"At that time, they will send people to contact the Tiannan allies and ask them to attack Jingzhou."

"Everyone, this opportunity must not be missed. If we do not take advantage of this opportunity to make a large-scale advance, I am afraid we will never have such a good opportunity in the future. If we wait until the situation in Qingzhou stabilizes before heading south, the outcome will be unpredictable."

After Kong Lin finished speaking, the elegant birds in the hall were silent, and everyone had their brows slightly furrowed or their faces expressionless.

"Fellow Tao Tao, what do you think?" Xuanzhen saw that everyone was silent and worried, so he asked a middle-aged man below.

This man is the leader of the Tianmo Sect in Annan County and is a hardliner in the Mubei Allied Forces. The Tianmo Sect was also a strong supporter of the previous move south to attack Qingzhou.

When the man surnamed Tao saw Xuanzhen looking at him, he naturally knew his intention, which was just to gain his support.

He coughed slightly and said: "As you all know, I have always advocated attacking Qingzhou before. However, since the failure of the last attack on Qingzhou, a large number of elite disciples of our sect have died, and they still have not recovered their vitality. Kong Lin and Yun What the two Taoists Fei said is unreasonable. This is indeed a golden opportunity to attack Qingzhou, but we still have to act with caution. "

"As the saying goes, killing an enemy by one thousand will cause a loss of eight hundred. Although Qingzhou is in a mess now, it will never be that simple if we want to win it easily."

"I have a few concerns. First, Qingzhou now has the Netherworld Sea Organization joining the defense, and its overall strength is stronger. If we want to attack the inland, we must first break through the Netherworld Sea Organization's defense line in Qinghai. I think this may be a battle. A fierce battle means that it is not easy for us to attack the interior. "

"Second, the attitude of the merchant alliance. When we attacked Qingzhou last time, both the Qiankun Chamber of Commerce and the local chamber of commerce in Qingzhou finally joined the battle group. If they also choose to advance and retreat with Xuanmen this time, it will be difficult for us to defeat them in one fell swoop. "

"Third, I am more worried about whether the Allied Forces of Liangzhou and Tiannan will launch attacks on Liangzhou and Jingzhou as promised, especially for the Allied Forces of Tiannan. The last time they attacked Jingzhou, they were defeated by the Shangqing Sect. They were defeated and retreated to Tiannan in embarrassment, even losing the three counties of Tiannan."

"As far as I know, in recent years, the Shangqing Sect and Jingzhou Xuanmen have repeatedly launched attacks on the areas under their jurisdiction. They can only barely protect themselves. How can they launch an attack on Jingzhou and contain the Shangqing Sect?"

"If you can't guarantee that, I think it's better to err on the side of caution."

"Fourth, although it seems that Qingzhou is a mess now, each fighting on its own, this does not mean that after we advance, they will still fight on their own. We cannot rule out the possibility that once we advance, they will immediately put aside their disputes and start cooperation. ”

"Instead of doing this, it is better to let them continue to fight each other and consume their internal strength."

"If the three fellow Taoists can solve the first three problems, I support marching to Qingzhou. If they can't for the time being, I suggest we continue to observe."

After talking, Yunkong, Xuanzhen, and Konglin looked at each other. They originally thought that the man surnamed Tao would speak out in support of sending troops because he had always been the main combatant in the Mubei Alliance Army and his attitude was very firm. , I didn’t expect him to say these words, which was really beyond the expectations of the three of them.

Since the end of the Qinghai War, the morale of the Mubei Allied Forces has been low, and they are quite depressed. Although so many years have passed, when the topic of attacking Qingzhou is raised again, even the Yao clan has many concerns and it is difficult to unanimously agree.

Needless to say, the factions that originally advocated self-protection were strongly opposed to it.

After watching the civil strife in Qingzhou for a long time, the three finally agreed and convinced all the tribes within the Yao clan, so they invited all the forces in Mubei to discuss the matter.

Before the discussion, the three of them expected that there would be considerable difficulties and that there would be strong opposition. However, they did not expect that the opposition would be greater than expected. Even the Tianmo Sect, the main war sect, which had always been tough and determined, had so many concerns. , timid, let alone others.

Sure enough, a slightly older voice was heard, and an old man with gray hair below said: "What Fellow Taoist Taoist said is very reasonable. After the last war, we suffered too many losses and have not recovered our strength until now. We should Recuperate and recuperate. It is unwise to attack Qingzhou at this time. There is no need to fight a battle with no chance of winning. "

"Yes! Now that the Nether Sea Organization has joined Qingzhou, and the Merchant Alliance is on their side, we launch an attack rashly. The best result is to kill one thousand enemies and lose eight hundred to ourselves. Wanting to capture Qingzhou is just a dream. "

"Although Qingzhou is in chaos at the moment and each is fighting its own battle, it does not mean that they will ignore our attack. And I can guarantee that once our army invades, they will definitely put aside their disputes. If we attack urgently, they will reject it with one heart and be tolerant. They will become even more divided. If we attack at this time, instead of taking advantage of the chaos, we will unite them."

"I support the march to Qingzhou. The conflict between us and Qingzhou is irreconcilable. Sooner or later, we will have a winner. But now is indeed not the time. The concerns that all fellow Taoists just said are reasonable. If we march at this time, they will most likely put aside their prejudices. Huddle up."

"In my opinion, when the internal battle in Qingzhou has a winner, and its people are not attached to it, and both sides are hurt, and the troops are lost, it will be much better for us to attack its exhausted divisions with elite troops than to attack its elite divisions now. ”

"Yes, what Fellow Yan Daoyou said is reasonable. I also agree to attack Qingzhou. The premise is that we must make corresponding preparations and cannot rashly gather troops to attack. Before deciding to send troops, I think we should do these few things. First, ensure that Liangzhou The alliance with Tiannan has already launched an attack on Liangzhou and Jingzhou, so we can take action. "

"Secondly, send people to contact the Netherworld Sea Organization and the Merchant Alliance to try to bring them into our camp or make them remain neutral. As far as I know, there are ongoing conflicts between the Netherworld Sea Organization and Donglai County Xuanmen. We can Sending more people to separate the two sides may have miraculous results.”

"No matter what the final result is, once a war breaks out between the Netherworld Sea Organization and Xuanmen of Donglai County, it will be beneficial and harmless to our future march into Qingzhou."

Everyone said one word after another.

…

Tang Ning was sitting cross-legged in the room and was practicing meditation with his eyes closed. Suddenly, a clear ringing sound came to his ears. He opened his eyes, and in a flash, he left the room.

At that time, many monks directly under the nearby brigade had also left their residences and came to the central stone hall.

Soon, all twenty people directly under the brigade had assembled. Ma Yu came in from the outside and said: "Everyone, just now the brigade is discussing matters. We have received a notice from the legion and ordered our unit to station at "Xiao Qian Pavilion" to resist the incoming rebels. Attack, the brigade ordered us to assemble and set off immediately."

Everyone stood up and followed him outside. After a while, they arrived at the meeting hall on the top of the mountain. Each small team arrived one after another. More than a hundred people, led by the big team, gathered in the alliance, and then left the city in a mighty manner.

On the Xuanling ship, Tangning stood in the cabin, controlling the console, and a picture appeared on it.

The seventh column came out in full force, dispatching a total of one Heavenly Spirit Ship, ten Wind Spirit Ships and one hundred Xuanling Ships. The formation was neatly arranged and stretched for dozens of miles.

Judging from the troop allocation of a column, these more than a hundred warships can be said to be not luxurious, and even seem a bit shabby.

Thinking back to the Battle of Qinghai, that was when the flags truly covered the sun and the warships covered the sky.

At that time, a column was allocated three Heavenly Spirit Ships, a regiment was allocated three Wind Spirit Ships, and a brigade was allocated three Xuanling Ships.

But now there is only one Sky Spirit Ship in the entire column, one Wind Spirit Ship in each regiment, and one Xuan Spirit Ship in each brigade. Doesn’t that look shabby?

Some brigades are not even equipped with Tier 3 warships and chariots. For example, Tang Ning's brigade has only five of the ten squads equipped with Tier 3 tanks, and the remaining five squads only have a few Tier 3 tanks. War Armor, and not all members have it.

It can be seen from this that the financial resources of the top leaders of the Alliance Army are stretched thin, and they simply cannot afford so many spiritual stones to equip each team with complete spiritual weapons.

If you think about it carefully, it actually makes sense. You must know that during the Qinghai War, the entire Qingzhou Xuanmen and cultivating families worked together, and under the command and dispatch of Taixuanzong, the various Xuanmen and cultivating families almost did everything in order to prevent the Mubei demons from going south. After spending all the money, financial resources will naturally not be a problem.

In the later period, the Chamber of Commerce joined the alliance and contributed money, making the coalition's financial resources very sufficient. At any time, the team's spiritual equipment was equipped according to the highest standards.

After the Qinghai War, all forces in Qingzhou paid a lot for it, especially the Xuanmen and the Cultivation Family in Donglai County, which suffered the heaviest losses. After all, they were the front line facing the Mubei demon. In order to repel Mubei, The Northern Allied Forces devoted all their strength and wealth into this war.

Although hundreds of years have passed since the Qinghai War, for the major forces of all parties, there is no way to return to their previous strength in just a few hundred years. Not only in terms of manpower, but also the number of high-level monks killed in the battle. A new batch can be cultivated in a hundred years, and the same goes for financial resources.

Moreover, the civil war in Donglai County this time was just a split between the practicing families. Although Taixuanzong died, the Xuanmen of Donglai County remained intact. Therefore, the financial resources were insufficient, and the rationing of personnel and spiritual weapons seemed a bit shabby. It makes sense.

Many warships traveled for more than ten days and finally arrived at "Xiaoqian Pavilion".

This pavilion is located in the northwest of Longhua City. On the left front is "Xuanying Pavilion", on the right front is "Huangyan Pavilion", on the back left is "Xuexian Pavilion" and on the back right is "Libo Pavilion".

This time the coalition forces dispatched three columns of troops to set up defenses in each pavilion city on the front line. Each pavilion city was guarded by a regiment.
