Dongwei Army, the main camp!
Zhang Ru came in a hurry. At this moment, in the Chinese army's tent, Lu Yang led a group of soldiers to look at a huge map in front of them.
Ember, Sixin, Xuanxu, Xuanbing, and Xuanyan are among the list.
A few months ago, Xuan Yan was dissatisfied with Dongfang Kingdom. After all, there were still forty cities left, but he had the ambition to swallow up the twelve major powers. This was a joke. Even his own Three Peaks Holy Land could not do it.
But with Mr. Lu's layout, it was really fast. The eight major forces had already swallowed it up and were able to handle it with ease without much loss. Now there are only three forces left. The speed of movement is shocking.
"Commander, there are still three forces left today, the Dalan Kingdom, the Sanyuan Holy Land, and the Wuwu Holy Land! Of these three major immortal forces, only the Sanyuan Holy Land is the same as us. There used to be three immortals, and the other two major forces, There are only two Celestial Immortals. After the battle in Lingxiao City, in addition to the Sanyuan Holy Land, there was one Celestial Immortal. The other two major forces were only the Earth Immortals at their peak. It was just that their mountain guarding formation had reached the Celestial Immortal level. Over the past few months, they have slowly grown. Calm down the civil strife!" Xuanxu explained.
"Except for the Three Yuan Holy Land, which has one heavenly immortal, there are no other immortals?" Lu Yang narrowed his eyes slightly.
"Commander, now that we have annexed the forces from all directions, we can raise countless armies, and we can fight them all the way!" Xuan Bing said immediately.
Lu Yang shook his head: "Fight all the way. If the cities resist tenaciously, there will be countless casualties and the people will suffer. We, the Dongwei Army, are not bandits who burn and loot. After destroying each city, we don't need to worry about it? The more we kill, the more we kill. , the greater our losses, the higher the troops are to attack, the middle troops are to attack the enemies, and the lower troops are to fight! Forcibly sending troops to attack the city is just the worst strategy!"
"That's right, if you blindly use destruction to achieve results, Nangong Lang's side won't have enough money, and they will blame us again!" Zhang Ru said with a bitter smile.
"What the Marshal said is that the previous collection of the four major forces can be said to have minimized losses! In this way, it is not as good as before, and we will control their central capital again!" Xuanxu said with a look on his face.
Xuanxu still has the confidence to say this. This is what the four major forces did before, and now it is completely possible. The three of them are the immortals, and the Tianlang camp is extremely ferocious. It should not be difficult to seize a center.
"Yes, there is a Celestial Immortal in the Three Yuan Holy Land, and the other two forces are only at the peak of the Earth Immortal. We will definitely be able to defeat each of them!" Xuan Bing also said immediately.
Lu Yang frowned and said: "Previously, when we collected the four major forces, they had already sent out troops one after another, which shows that they already knew the danger. This time, we will do the same? It is impossible. These three major forces must be twisted into one. If one part is broken, the other two parts will definitely come to help!”
"Don't be afraid if you come to help. Are they our opponents?" Xuan Yan said immediately unconvinced.
Mr. Lu shook his head: "They have the convenience of home court, so what if you three immortals? What's more, there are other forces in the four directions. Although the Emperor of Qin and the Son of Dan Shenzi have reached an agreement not to interfere, there is no guarantee that no one will be involved. Doing things in the dark!"
"Ah?" Xuanxu said in surprise.
"Not long ago, news came from the Tsing Yi Guards that among the three major forces, there were traces of the Shengdan Immortal. It seems that the Shengdan Sanctuary is indeed determined to give up. Even if it cannot take action openly, it will still plot against us in the dark!" Lu Yang frowned.
"This won't work, that won't work either! Commander, why don't we just move?" Yu Yan frowned.
Lu Yang shook his head: "It's not that we can't move. These three major forces must be defeated! As for the two directions just now, it's actually possible, but the loss is relatively large for us. I'm just thinking of a safe way!"
"Commander, how about you try my method!" Zhang Ru said again.
Lu Yang looked at Zhang Ru and frowned slightly.
Zhang Ru was parachuted in by Wang Xiong to assist him. Lu Yang roughly guessed what Wang Xiong meant. Wang Xiong wants to use diplomacy to take down the three major forces.
Lu Yang did not feel dissatisfied. After all, Lu Yang also knew that time was running out. The longer it dragged on, the more the three major forces became more and more incompatible. Now the new monarch of the three major forces has been constantly preaching the evil of the Eastern Kingdom. Once they The hearts of the people have been aroused to hate the Eastern Kingdom, and it will be difficult to regain it in the future.
After a moment of silence, Lu Yang looked at Zhang Ru: "I know Mr. Zhang's plan. As long as it succeeds, it will indeed minimize our losses. However, it will cost a huge amount of spiritual stones and even require a lot of time. Do you know that time is running out now, and if your plan takes too long and fails to achieve results, it will be even more difficult for us to use force again!"
"I have already negotiated with Nangong Lang regarding the spirit stone. He will allocate a large amount of money as soon as possible. As for whether we can convince the three major forces, I, Zhang Ru, would like to issue a military order!" Zhang Ru solemnly said.
"Military order? Master Zhang, please think about it!" Lu Yang said in a deep voice.
"Yes!" Zhang Ru affirmed.
"Okay! Next, I will fully cooperate with you! Mr. Zhang, I hope you will not disappoint the king!" Lu Yang said solemnly.
Zhang Ru nodded: "In the past few months, I have actually been studying the official lists of these three major forces, as well as the relationship between them, and the preferences of the officials! Commander, I would like to trouble you to arrange the next one!"
Zhang Ru took out a thick piece of information.
Lu Yang nodded.
-------------
In a courtyard.
Danzhizi, Ancestor Du, and Chi Bingzi were sitting in a hall chatting.
"The Dongwei Army is really fast. It has only been more than five months, and the number of cities in Dongfang Kingdom has reached 250. This Lu Yang is really a genius!" Ancestor Du sighed after taking a sip of tea.
"Yes, this Lu Yang is so capable. He can lay out such a large chessboard with ease. He can win the great territory of Nuo at such a small cost. He is a powerful character. I don't know how Wuji was used in the first place. He was left like this A great talent, but his whole body was destroyed!" Dan Zhizi frowned and sighed.
Chi Bingzi's face turned red: "Maybe Lu Yang doesn't listen to Si Wuji at all? He is a villain who harbors evil intentions!"
Chi Bingzi was already Wuji seizing his body. When he heard everyone arranging for him, he suddenly felt depressed.
"No, it should be that Si Wuji, who is short-sighted, doesn't know how to use people, and is headstrong, but he doesn't dare to let go completely, which leads to failure!" Ancestor Du shook his head.
Chi Bingzi felt depressed again.
"What did senior brother say?" Ancestor Du looked at Danzhizi.
Danzhizi's face was gloomy: "Senior Brother Spider King, you still refuse to take action now!"
"What? Why?" Chi Bingzi frowned.
"The Spider Emperor said it's not the right time yet! He also told us not to act rashly!" Danzhizi said in a deep voice.
"Are we just going to watch Dongfang Kingdom expand rapidly? At least stop him, right?" Chi Bingzi said depressedly.
Danzhizi and Ancestor Du also looked gloomy.
After a moment of silence, Danzhizi looked at Ancestor Du and said, "Junior Brother, Senior Brother is unwilling to take action now, how about you do it...?"
"Me?" Ancestor Du raised his eyebrows.
"Yes, the Spider King is indeed very scheming, but, junior brother, you are not bad either. I have always felt that the leader's arrangement was wrong, and you should be the leader. We all listen to you. Look...!" Danzhizi looked at Poison Ancestor.
Ancestor Poison's expression suddenly changed.
"Uncle Master, Dongfang Kingdom can't expand any more!" Chi Bingzi also advised.
After a moment of silence, Ancestor Du finally nodded: "That's fine!"
"Uncle Master, what should we do?" Chi Bingzi asked expectantly.
"I also understand Lu Yang's tactics. To capture the thief first, capture the king. He will control the center of the three major forces. We will find some immortals from the Shengdan Alliance to ambush near the capital and the holy mountain of the three major forces. The Wei army secretly attacked the central forum of some force, and the immortals we invited secretly took action, making them pay a heavy price! The footsteps of Dongfang Kingdom will not be able to take another step forward!" A cold light flashed in Ancestor Du's eyes.
"Junior brother, grab Dongwei Army by the throat, what a plan!" Danzhizi said with a smile.
"Uncle Master is wise! Even Lu Yang can't escape from Uncle Master's palm!" Chi Bingzi was also excited.
"This Lu Yang is a talented person. It's a pity that stupid Si Wuji. If I treat this Lu Yang well, this Lu Yang will be a member of my Shengdan Sanctuary. That stupid Si Wuji forced Lu Yang to death. Get out, you are stupid, extremely stupid!" Ancestor Du scolded.
Chi Bingzi's face turned red.
"Uncle Master, I seem to have received news recently. It seems that some Eastern Kingdom spies are secretly communicating with some officials of the three major forces! Although it is very secretive, I still found out something!" Chi Bingzi changed the topic.
"Official contact? Oh, it's useless! If the central government is not under control, which official would dare to rebel? Previously, the city lords of the four major forces would surrender only when they saw no hope. How can it be useful now?" Poison Patriarch Zhizhu He shook his head.
"Report!" An elixir-generating immortal entered the hall.
"Master, uncle, news just came from the country of Dalan. Zhang Ru, the Minister of Rites of the Eastern Kingdom, is on an envoy to the capital of Dalan Dynasty!" said the Immortal Na Shengdan.
"Zhang Ru? The two armies are about to fight, and he is on a mission to the capital of Dalan? Is he not afraid of death?" Danzhizi asked in shock.
"The two armies are fighting, don't kill the envoy!" Chi Bingzi shook his head.
"Zhang Ru? Who else is accompanying you? Xuanxu, Xuanbing, Xuanyan?" Ancestor Du asked after taking a sip of tea.
"No, he's the only one!" the immortal elixir reported.
"A person, haha, is really looking for death. Aren't you afraid that the Dalan royal family will take him down and threaten the Dongwei army? Haha!" Danzhizi laughed.
Ancestor Du frowned slightly and noticed something was wrong: "Keep exploring!"
"Yes!" The Immortal Pill Immortal responded.
"Junior brother, what's wrong?"
"I don't know, I always feel like something is wrong!" Ancestor Du shook his head.
The next day, I reported again.
"I would like to inform you, uncles, that the Dalan royal family has summoned all civil and military officials to enter the palace and isolate the inside and outside, just like Zhang Ru is in the Dalan court, alone among the ministers!" said the Immortal Shengdan.
"One person, fighting with all the ministers?" Ancestor Du said in shock.
"yes!"
"What are we arguing about?" Ancestor Du asked eagerly.
"I don't know. Outside the Dalan royal family, there are strict guards. The civil and military officials of the court have been debating for a day. They haven't left the hall. I inquired from a distance. It seems that there are still shouts, curses and scuffles in the hall." The Immortal Na Shengdan reported. .
"Zhang Ru, alone? When he entered the Dalan court, he opened his mouth and said that the civil and military forces of the entire court were fighting each other?" Dan Zhizi said in shock.
"No, no, a few days ago, people from Dongfang Kingdom quietly contacted officials from Dalan Kingdom, not to provoke them, but to bribe some people to help Zhang Ru argue in court today!" Mr. Du Zu's face changed.
"Buy? Can he bribe all the officials?"
"No, just buy part of it and help him build momentum. No, Zhang Ru is going to cause trouble. Come on, keep probing, keep probing!" Ancestor Du's expression changed.
The third day.
"Reporting to my two uncles, the heated debate in the Dalan court has not ended yet. Not only the officials are quarreling, but the Dalan royal family has also participated. All the royal family members have participated in the debate. There is chaos in the court!" The immortal comes again to retaliate.
Ancestor Du, Danzhizi, and Chibingzi all felt this in their hearts, and each of them felt uneasy.
The fourth and fifth days.
On the sixth day, everyone heard shocking news.
"Uncle Master, Zhang Ru has left the capital of Dalan Dynasty, and the new emperor of Dalan has announced to the world that the country of Dalan has officially surrendered to Dongfang Kingdom!" the Immortal who came to report was sweating profusely.
"Dalan Renguo, has surrendered to Dongfang Kingdom? Say it again!" Ancestor Du's eyes suddenly widened.
"It's true. The notice has been spread to the four cities. In a few days, everyone should know it!" The person who came to report the immortal said with a bitter smile.
"One man, with just one mouth, surrendered the country of Dalan? Are you kidding me? Is his mouth a decree from heaven?" Ancestor Du also jumped up immediately.
"Doesn't that mean that all our arrangements are useless?" Danzhizi opened his mouth in shock.
"Zhang Ru? Are you kidding! What did he say in the Dalan Court these days?" Chi Bingzi looked incredulous.
"Where is Zhang Ru?" Ancestor Du said in a deep voice.
"Zhang Ru left the capital of Dalan Dynasty, and Xuanxu personally escorted him to the Holy Mountain of Wuwu Holy Land!" The Immortal who came to report said with a bitter smile.
"He, Zhang Ru, still wants to talk about surrendering Wuwu Holy Land to Dongfang Kingdom?" Danzhizi said in shock.
"Immediately, find out immediately what Zhang Ru has been doing in the Dalan court these days, why the civil and military officials of the whole court are arguing endlessly, and why the Dalan royal family will compromise. Aren't they enemies? Why did they choose to surrender!" Du Lao Zu glared.
"yes!"
