However, the army led by Yan Zhengqing was fighting with the coalition forces of Dongyuan County and Nanyang County across the Xiandai River. Because of the Sealing Heaven and Locking Earth Formation, the coalition forces of Dongyuan County and Nanyang County could not cross the river quickly for the time being. And Nangong Zhi's meaning was also very clear, I am here to protect Dongyuan County, that's all; as for Luliang County - Humph, if my Nanyang County can't get it, you Dongyuan County can't even think about it!
Although there was a rift between Nangong Zhi and Kong Donglai, for the time being, Nangong Zhi did not have any bad intentions. Therefore, Nangong Zhi was considering the problem from the perspective of Nanyang County. Today, Nanyang County has suffered heavy casualties, failed plans, and its military strength has dropped to the lowest point in history; soldiers have no fighting spirit, and generals have no fighting spirit.
Dongyuan County borders Nanyang County. If your Dongyuan County swallows up Luliang County, it will definitely become stronger in the future, and may even threaten Nanyang County. So, no matter what, you can't get Luliang County.
Nangong Zhi and Nanyang County's strategic plan was to use the Xiandai River as the boundary, divide the river and govern, with the north belonging to Anyang and the south to Dongyuan County, while preserving Dongyuan County.
…
In the north, Beichen Yuqing and Wang Jian led an army of 70,000 and marched southward, and the first to attack were planes.
The plane flies at an altitude of up to three thousand meters or even five thousand meters, which is not an altitude that a Jindan stage master can easily reach; therefore, the plane can easily attack the enemy at this altitude.
When Nangong Zhi saw the plane from Anyang arriving from the north, he immediately made a judgment - the north had fallen, and the 100,000-strong army of Dongyuan County, as well as the governor of Dongyuan County, Yuan Zhong, and others, were either dead or captured.
Nangong Zhi thought about it, and told Yuan Jinjiang, the general of the Yuan family, who could only sigh. Who could have thought that things would come to this point, with Anyang being besieged from all sides at the same time, and Anyang's victory seemed to be easy.
"It's all Songzhou County's fault. They retreated without resistance!" Yuan Jinjiang said bitterly.
Nangong Zhi rolled his eyes. You Yuan family are not good people either. You took advantage of our life-and-death battle to take over Luliang County. Now, you have lost more than you gained. None of the 100,000 troops escaped, and even the governor Yuan Zhong was killed. Humph, if it weren't for curbing Anyang, I would have destroyed your Dongyuan County right now! What the hell!
Nangong Zhi was 70% sure that he could destroy Dongyuan County and expand the scope of Nanyang County. But he didn't dare to do it. If Dongyuan County was forced into a corner, it would probably surrender to Anyang or even Jin. Moreover, if the two sides fought, Anyang would easily "take advantage of the situation".
After thinking for a while, Nangong Zhi said, "General Yuan Jinjiang, there is no need to say anything now. Anyang is about to launch an active attack and it is our turn to passively defend. We must not let Anyang cross the Xiandai River, otherwise... I don't need to tell you the consequences."
Yuan Jinjiang looked a little embarrassed and serious. He nodded and went out, asking the soldiers to start defense along the river. Anyang must not be allowed to cross the Xiandai River anyway, because there is almost no defense south of the Xiandai River. There are only a few small hills and mountaintops at the junction of Luliang County and Dongyuan County; and Dongyuan County is not as rich and luxurious as Anyang, and has no spiritual stones to set up the formation.
