Just as Zhao Hong had thought before, one month would be enough for various sects in the southwest region to know what they were going to do. One hundred thousand Taoist soldiers, fighting in the south and north of Xueyu Tianling, are an invincible army. This basically has only one meaning for various small sects and sects in the southwest region. That would be a disaster. Even the most arrogant, the most disdainful of Xueyu Tianling, and the most colluded with the forces of Xuan Bingyang in the north, the heads and elders of the Hundred Soul Sect, do not dare, do not want, do not want to face such an army . Even though they have been preaching all day long, "Xueyu Tianling is strong on the outside and capable on the inside. The thirty-sixth army under the command of Taoist Xuanfeng is so boastful, but it is actually vulnerable." This can be said to the disciples under the sect. But if you believe it after you say it, then it¡¯s a joke. Speaking of which, Zhao Hong said that Xueyu Tianling was "slow" and it was not in line with the principle that soldiers need to be quick. But all the sects in the southwest felt that Xueyu Tianling was incredibly fast. He was also incredibly vicious when he moved his hands. Make it difficult for them to understand. A direct disciple who has only been accepted for a few months. Plus a Taoist army of less than a hundred people. If it's broken, it's broken. Not to mention the big sects like Xueyu Tianling, which are big and powerful, even the small sects like Southwest are too concerned about this little bit of strength. As for mobilizing troops and people like this? As for us colluding with Xuan Bingyang Yaoxie? Oh my god, what kind of wallflower is not ogling everyone these days? Why do we have to keep it here? "It's rare to find such a reason, how can you give up so easily." In the cabin assigned to him by Taoist Xuanfeng, which was not bad but not the best either, Zhao Hong used the water mirror technique to communicate with the new mine. Taoist Ruiming talks. For Zhao Hong to be able to go out with the army and participate in this battle with Taoist Xuanfeng. Taoist Ruiming was quite envious. But he also knew that, firstly, he was not a Taoist soldier in the establishment, and secondly, he was not like Zhao Hong, so he could leave the new mine and follow the army without being punished. There are few people in the entire Xueyu Tianling who can do this, let alone Taoist Ruiming. And in addition, Zhao Hong also asked him to keep an eye on the new mine in case something happened and he couldn't find the person in charge. Adding up these items, Taoist Ruiming could do nothing even if he was unwilling to do so. He could only contact Zhao Hong on weekdays and ask Zhao Hong to tell him what happened on the battlefield. As for Zhao Hong, he also wanted to use this opportunity to cultivate the first younger brother he recruited. In addition, he also wanted to say something he couldn't say at the military meeting. Otherwise it would be awkward to keep it in your heart all the time. So I don¡¯t blame Taoist Ruiming for asking too many questions and wasting time. Two people, one speaking and one listening. As he talked, he came to the reason for starting the war. As I said before, Taoist Ruiming and Taoist Bai Juan were the same sworn friends who escaped with their lives from the Red Flame Golden Ring Earthworm back in the day. He also sympathized with Taoist Bai Juan's experience. But in the end, Taoist Ruiming is more thoughtful than ordinary people. I was angry, but I didn't really lose my mind. In fact, after the anger passed, Taoist Ruiming felt strange in his heart: "Indeed, Xueyu Tianling's actions are a bit big If it is just for Taoist Bai Juan's soul and his The words of the Taoist soldiers under his command. There is no need to raise an army of 100,000 to go. Just send envoys directly to ask for guilt. No matter what, they are obviously our vassals of Xueyu Tianling. He also knows the strength of my Xueyu Tianling. If we go to question him, they will most likely apologize in panic, return Master Bai Juan's soul, and create a scapegoat for us to vent our anger on at Xueyu Tianling. This matter will be solved. Taoist Ruiming dare not say this to others, and it will be useless if he does. However, he told Zhao Hong everything. While the words were filled with questions, there was also a hint of showing off. "It's a good idea. The fact that you can think of this proves that you are a step ahead of the other students." After hearing what he said, Zhao Hong first praised him like this, and then said the above words as a matter of course. In one sentence: "It is rare for our Xueyu Tianling to find such a reason, how can we give up so easily." Taoist Ruiming was stunned for a moment after saying this, and then blurted out: "Uncle, you mean that we, Xueyu Tianling, Yutianling has long wanted to attack the southwest region. Is Master Bai Juan¡¯s matter just an excuse this time?¡± Hearing what Zhao Hong said, Taoist Ruiming found it hard to accept. "That's it." Zhao Hong chuckled and said: "The southwest is mountainous, miasmatic, and forested. The sea monsters dispersed by Xuan Bingyang for countless years cannot return and are hiding here. Over time, they have become my snow jade There is a stubborn problem in Tianling. The reason why he was not punished before was because of Xi.?Those wallflowers from various sects are still facing me, Xueyu Tianling, anyway. I can't wait to attack. " "This I don't understand this. "Listening to what Zhao Hong said, Taoist Ruiming seemed to be even more confused: "Uncle Master, if we say that generally speaking, the Snow Jade Tianling is facing me, this is probably the case for all the sects in the southwest now I mean before we sent out troops to conquer. You said it was difficult for us to conquer before, but why is it so easy now? " "It's a matter of degree. " Zhao Hong replied: "Before this, there were various sects in the southwest, Xuanbingyang remnant bandits, Xueyu Tianling, and other sects in Biluo Beizhou. These forces form a delicate balance in the Southwest. The sects in the southwest regard themselves as raising thieves. They rely on the advantages of the natives to block the remnants of the Xuan Bingyang bandits so that they cannot harass me, Xueyu Tianling. Ling's army really wiped them out. Let them end up like a rabbit or a dog. Other sects that are not within the scope of Xueyu Tianling do not want Xueyu Tianling to become bigger. Therefore, moral and material support is usually provided to various sects in the southwest. Sometimes, messengers are even sent to mediate the relationship between us and them. That¡¯s it, not to mention the remnants of the Xuan Bingyang bandits, they are just hanging on, relying on the favorable location and the support of the various sects in the southwest to survive. Other sects aside, no matter what, we cannot let them get too involved in our sect¡¯s internal affairs. So in this balance, the sects in the southwest are the ones who benefit the most. Xueyu Tianling relies on them to protect the southwest region, so it¡¯s hard to do anything. The remnants of the Xuan Bingyang bandits are all losers who are not worth mentioning, and the other sects in Biluo Beizhou are also facing them. Humph With the convenience of these three levels, I, Xueyu Tianling, claim to be the sect leader on the surface, but in fact, I am unable to move in the southwest region. " "Oh" Hearing Zhao Hong say this, Taoist Ruiming seemed to have a sudden realization: "I really didn't expect that there are so many twists and turns It's just that you said so much, but you didn't explain it clearly. Why do we want to fight against them this time? " "It's very simple. "Zhao Hong said: "Because the balance has been broken. I, Xueyu Tianling, tolerate them because I regard them as good dogs that guard the house and the courtyard. They were asked to keep an eye on the remnants of Xuan Bingyang in the southwest. This is their biggest assetbuthumthey can't even handle such a small thing. I checked the information on recent Xuanbingyang surges and evil invasions. The remaining troops in the southwest performed well in these wars. They used a small force to march towards the hinterland of Xueyu Tianling to carry out destruction and plunder. The results were fruitful. At the same time, they also formed military formations several times and held back a large number of troops from Xueyu Tianling. Because they are stationed in Xueyu Tianling, they also have a lot of information about us. The intelligence support for Xuan Bingyang's main force is equally effective. Even, I found some clues - although every war against the Xuan Bingyang monsters ended in our victory. However, the number of Xuan Bingyang remnant bandits in the southwest continues unabated. After Xuan Bingyang's defeat, almost all the demons among them who had no time to retreat back to Xuan Bingyang took the initiative and fled to the southwest in an organized manner as soon as possible. This has never happened in any previous war - do you know what that means? " Hearing Zhao Hong ask, Taoist Ruiming subconsciously asked back: "What does it mean? " "It means that maybe in another hundred or two hundred years, there will be five, ten, or more Xuanbing Ocean tides. If we are still unable to effectively stop the flow of its remnants to the southwest, one day the Xuanbingyang demon will gather a huge army there that we will be unable to destroy! By then, they won't be making small fuss like this. We will really feel what it is like to be attacked from both sides! " Hearing what Zhao Hong said, Taoist Ruiming was extremely surprised. He had never thought that this war was caused by the death of Taoist Bai Juan, his direct disciple, and his Taoist soldiers. There was such a conspiracy behind it. Deep reason. ¡°Then, shall we, Xueyu Tianling, just sit back and do nothing? "Taoist Ruiming couldn't help but asked. "How is it possible? Zhao Hong chuckled: "Isn't this 100,000-strong army coming?" And before that, my good senior brother didn't just watch the situation deteriorate day by day. Fifty-five years ago, the remnants of the evil spirits in the southwest broke through the blockade of the various sects in the southwest for the first time and attacked the area controlled by Xueyu Tianling. The head brother issued a decree and severely reprimanded them. Thirty-five years ago, the remnants of the evil spirit broke through its blockade again. The head brother asked the southwestern sects to accept the soldiers of Xueyu Tianling to garrison, but they refused. Fifteen years ago, the same thing happened again - although this time, the WestEvery sect put in all their efforts. But something like this still happened - because the power of the remaining demonic troops has changed compared to their power In this way, they have no reason to refuse our Xueyu Tianling troops to enter this area. . The direct cause of this war was also laid at that time. " Hearing what Zhao Hong said, Taoist Ruiming felt strange, and then asked: "You said direct inducement? Isn't that the direct trigger, Master Bai Juan? " Zhao Hong shook his head and said: "On the surface it is because of this, but this kind of seed was indeed planted fifteen years ago
