Chronicles of Celestial Origins

Sima Feng said: "In this case, what's the point of my fellow Taoist coming here? Your mansion and Taixuan Zong family have a great cause. If you lose Yuanxian County, you can find other development in other places. Our mansion cannot be compared with you and lose Without the base of Yuanxian, we will be nothing but grass without roots.”

Jiang Feng said: "I took a huge risk to come to see fellow Taoists just to help your government at this critical juncture. I hope your government can rein in the situation and turn back in time. Previously, your government helped us to attack the rebels and made a lot of achievements. Seeing that victory is imminent, Jiang Mou is deeply regretted by his Taoist friends. "

"Since the Liu family rebelled, all the resource territories it occupied in Yuanxian County have been occupied by your government. Now that your government wants to surrender to the rebels, these territories must be given to the Liu family, and maybe they will also be taken from your government. The original territory of the mansion was divided to atone for sins. Are you really willing to let the fat fly away like this? "

"Your mansion has done a lot to fight against the rebels this time. According to our previous agreement, after the rebels are defeated, your mansion can share the resource areas occupied by the rebel families in proportion. After the Liu family falls, based on your mansion's With the ability and resources, we have every opportunity to take over and become the leading family in Dongnae County.”

"What a pity! Such a good opportunity, your mansion let it pass away from your hands in vain."

"After your government joins the rebels this time, it will no longer be an ally of the Qingzhou coalition. When the rebels are defeated, your government will not only be unable to allocate any resources and territory, but it may also be eaten by other forces. There is no one in this world. A person who likes to be erratic. Once your government betrays you, there will always be a stain on you from now on. No matter how the current situation changes, this stain will become an obstacle to your government's development. "

"Your mansion's surrender to the rebels at this time will be like a remarried flower and willow. It will only be despised by the forces within the rebels. Fellow Taoist, please imagine, even if the rebels completely occupy Donglai County in the future, what will your mansion gain? The little resources they have gained are not enough for the internal forces to absorb, so how can they be distributed to a practicing family like Guifu who joined in the middle of the road? "

"If your mansion can make a decisive decision and lead your sons to the coalition forces, and at this time when the army is defeated and the people are in danger, you can set an example for other cultivating families and help the coalition forces in times of trouble, you will not only gain the respect of your mansion and Taixuanzong, After defeating the rebels in the future, you will receive unimaginable rewards."

"Opportunities and risks are always equal. This is a rare opportunity. It depends on whether you can grasp it."

Sima Feng looked coldly: "Fellow Daoist Jiang is eloquent and eloquent. However, no matter how eloquent you are, you can't change the facts. The defeat of your mansion and Taixuanzong is the general trend. You can't compete with the Mirror Moon Sect with the troops in your hands." In addition to the Donglai County coalition forces led by the Liu family, the generous rewards you mentioned are nothing more than pie in the sky. You should just go back today as if you have never seen them before."

Jiang Feng smiled: "Fellow Taoist has always been alert and resourceful, so why are you so confused on this matter? Have you never thought that the Mirror Moon Sect has always regarded itself as neutral and always stayed out of the matter, why are you so confused at this time? Uncharacteristically, he suddenly attacked Taixuanzong and openly declared an alliance with the Liu family? Wouldn't Taoist friends not get any information? "

"What do fellow Daoist Jiang mean?"

Jiang Feng said: "Previously, the Donglai County Xuanmen and the Netherworld Sea organization were having a heated dispute. The two sides were already ready. The Mirror Moon Sect also summoned the elites of the Donglai County Xuanmen with the slogan of counterattacking the Netherworld Sea. However, when the matter came to an end, they But they attacked Taixuanzong’s headquarters in various ministries, why?”

"Because in their eyes, there is no difference between attacking the Nether Sea organization and attacking Taixuanzong. Instead, they can bring a group of Xuanmen to stand on the same stand with them and attack Taixuanzong so that the various Xuanmen in Donglai County have no choice. Forced to join the rebel array with the Mirror Moon Sect."

"The fundamental reason for all this is because the Netherworld Sea Organization has reached an alliance agreement with Taixuanzong and us, and will participate in the war to exterminate the rebels."

"The senior leaders of the Mirror Moon Sect received the news and hurriedly summoned all the major and small sects to raid the Taixuan Sect and quickly joined the rebel camp."

"Fellow Taoist, don't you see that various branch organizations in Netherworld Sea fled the county immediately after seeing Taixuanzong being attacked, and quickly gathered in Donglai County."

"Now they are also rushing to Tianquan and Yunlan one after another, joining forces with us, preparing to counterattack and regain the lost territory."

"My fellow Taoists must not know that the Netherworld Sea Organization has sent troops from its headquarters to Linzi County. They will join the Qingzhou Alliance Army to counterattack the rebels. They will also send troops to support this county."

"Jingyue Sect keeps putting pressure on you, just to tie your house to their chariot before we launch a counterattack."

"Fellow Daoist is right. With our original strength alone, it is indeed difficult to compete with the Donglai County rebels. But if we add the power of the Netherworld Sea Organization, do you still think the rebels can achieve final victory?"

"If your mansion can lead your children to join the coalition forces at this time, this will be a timely help. It will definitely gain the respect and gratitude of my mansion, Taixuanzong and the entire Qingzhou Alliance. After the rebellion is put down in the future, your mansion will get far more than expected."

"On the contrary, if fellow Taoist joins the rebels at this time, even if the rebels win the final victory, they will not be able to get a few pieces of meat, and they may even cut off the flesh and turn it back."

"The greater the risk, the greater the opportunity. Where to go? The rise and fall of your house, the honor and disgrace, all depend on this moment. Friends, please think about it!"

Sima Feng looked solemn, his eyes flashed, and he remained silent.

…

Longhua City, above the majestic and majestic city outline, warships sailed out one after another.

Tangning leaned on the side of the boat and watched the mountains and rivers passing by below. Her thoughts were racing in her mind. Longhua City had decided to abandon its defense. Ever since the Xuanmen rebels in Donglai County rebelled, the troops from Tingcheng on the front line behind them had gradually evacuated to the rear. , began to evacuate in batches.

After the Jingyue Sect led Xuanmen of Donglai County to raid Taixuanzong's station, the columns of all coalition forces immediately gathered and left Yuanxian County. This was because the Jingyue Sect had led its army from Donglai County and was about to fight with the rebels of the family. and, attacked the coalition forces in Yuanxian County.

With the strength deployed by the coalition forces in Yuanxian County, they were unable to withstand the internal and external attacks from the Jingyue Sect and the Aristocratic Family rebels, so they chose to withdraw.

With the withdrawal of the rear coalition forces, Longhua City was immediately left alone and had to leave immediately. Otherwise, as soon as the Xuanmen Alliance army led by the Mirror Moon Sect arrived, they would close the door and beat the dog. It would not be easy to evacuate then.

During this period of time, there have been many defecting monks within the coalition forces every day. Many cultivating families behind Gein have surrendered to the Xuanmen Alliance in Donglai County. The main families have changed their banners. Naturally, those monks from aristocratic families do not want to continue to defend. , even though Longhua City has adopted strict management methods and does not allow people to go out, it still can't stop some people from leaving secretly.

This is especially serious for the teams on the front line. The number of defecting monks can reach hundreds in a day. In this case, the rebels do not even need to take the initiative to fight. The teams guarding the pavilions on the front line have already lost their combat effectiveness.

To avoid a larger-scale rout, the commander of Longhua City had to recall the frontline troops and let them evacuate in batches.

Fortunately, the rebels only had three columns fighting on the front line, and the main force was still behind, so they did not rush forward to attack Longhua City in an overwhelming force. This gave the coalition forces a chance to calmly evacuate.

Seeing the majestic and majestic city outline getting smaller and smaller in her field of vision, Tang Ning suddenly felt like she was freed from her prison. However, her worries did not disappear because of this. The overall situation of the coalition forces was still not optimistic, and a war would come sooner or later.

What worries him the most is that there is still no news about Gu Yuanya, which is like a big stone hanging on his chest, making him unable to calm down.

"Senior Tang, Senior Shi please go to the cabin to discuss matters." At this time, a disciple of the alliance came up and saluted.

"Okay." Tangning responded, turned around and walked into the cabin.

This is the Tianling Ship of the column. All the monks of the column are concentrated on this ship, and the Fengling Ship, Xuanling Ship, and Yuanling Ship under the column are all concentrated on the decks of the Leizi Ship and several other Tianling Ships. Although the coalition forces have not yet Reinforcements were sent, but at least dozens of extra Tianling ships were sent to lead everyone to evacuate.

In the stone cabin, Shi Shou, Inspector Yu Lian, and Deputy Captain Gao Zixing were sitting in the front. The others were divided into two sides. Tang Ning opened the door, bowed, and sat down on the left side.

The cabin was only two to three feet in size, and with more than ten people sitting inside, it seemed a little crowded.

"Everyone is here." Shi Shou said: "Today, the headquarters is evacuating Longhua City. The goal is to go to Tianquan County. The coalition forces there have assembled heavy troops for defense. Not only the coalition monks, but also members of the Netherworld Sea organization have joined. It can be said to be impregnable.”

"The abandonment of Longhua City this time is a strategic retreat. When we arrive in Tianquan County and gather our forces, we will definitely launch a counterattack and retake the territory under the jurisdiction of Yuanxian County."

"No one is allowed to leave the ship during this period."

"Recently, there have been a lot of rumors within the coalition forces, and there have been frequent defections of monks. The impact is very bad. You and others need to take good care of the monks in the team to prevent anyone from defecting."

"I know that many of the coalition forces are combatants sent by various aristocratic families, and many of those here are elites recruited from various cultivating families. There may be some cultivating families among them who were forced to join the rebel camp due to pressure from the rebel forces. , so I want to leave the coalition and return to my hometown."

"Here, I can assure you that before long, we will be able to retake Yuanxian County, including other counties, cities and pavilions temporarily occupied by the rebels."

"At that time, you will become the glory of your house, and the coalition forces will even be open to your family because of your relationship."

"In addition, regardless of whether your family has rebelled or not, the alliance will pay salaries and rewards as usual."
