In fact, after coming back yesterday, Li Zheng was thinking about this problem.Now that the beast is powerful, and there is no way to completely solve it, what will we do in the future.To contact the people of Zhongzhou, and let the masters of Zhongzhou help kill the beast, or strengthen the seal, of course, this hope is extremely slim.You can try, but you can't pin your chances on it.What can really pin hope on are those strange people who hide in the folk.From the earliest Wang Shouren, Wukong monk, to the later Yan Fuzi, Yun Fuzi, and then to Xia Ke and Ci'an, in just a few months, I met so many strange people between Jiangyin City and Xiangcheng.It can be imagined how many strange people and strange people there are in the entire Nanshan country.These strange people may have originally been from Zhongzhou, and they came to the trial through the method of sitting and forgetting, or they may have been gifted.But obviously, these strange people don't care much about the outside world, or they are afraid of trouble, or they are afraid of being contaminated with cause and effect, or ......
However, one thing is certain, most of these strange people are soft-hearted.Just like that Wang Shouren, he said that he didn't solve his problems and didn't have the kung fu to help others, but when he asked for him, he still recommended himself to Wukong Zen Master.Wukong Zen Master said that he wanted to refer to the Great Void and Dading, and he didn't want to be disturbed by the outside world, but when the beasts of Yunshan came down the mountain to make trouble, he still intervened to stop it.The reason why these strange people have not yet come out of the mountain is only because the real disaster has not yet happened, and they can not see the tragic things around them, and they can continue to bury their heads in their own world with peace of mind.Therefore, if you want these strange people to come out of the mountain, you have to force them to come out.How to force?
The fakes retreated, allowing the beasts to run rampant for the time being.At that point, these strange people can no longer turn a blind eye.When these strange people come forward, it will not be so difficult to find them.Once you find them, you can either ask them to help, contact the people of Zhongzhou, or unite them to fight the beast together.Even, through some strange people, you can get opportunities and inspiration, so that more powerful people appear in Nanshan Kingdom......
After listening to Li Zheng, Lu Zhen fell into hesitation.He couldn't help but hesitate, the fake thing has always regarded himself as the guardian of the Southern Mountain Country, but now he wants to withdraw the defense line and let the beasts rage, he can't accept it emotionally.Li Zhengdao: "You can't accept it for a while, I can understand it, but you can think about it carefully, is there any other way."
Can we keep up to the onslaught of the beasts?
”"Furthermore, we are not completely withdrawing our defenses, but only temporarily retreating.The army of Nanshan Country is limited in number and understaffed, and it is necessary to defend so many places, and it may not be able to hold every place.It is better to retreat temporarily, hold on to important places, and then counterattack in the future. ”"Let me think about it."
Lu Zhen still couldn't make up his mind.Li Zheng is not reluctant, after all, the affairs of Nanshan Kingdom are still dominated by Lu Zhen, and he is just helping.Seeing that Lu Zhen was leaving, Li Zheng stopped him again: "By the way, Sect Master Lu, don't the people of the Royal Beast Sect want a miracle medicine?"
When we destroyed the elixir, we kept some. ”He took a vial from Ci'an and handed it to Lu Zhen."
Immortal Master Xie."
Lu Zhen took the magic medicine and turned to leave.Today's Nanshan country has wild beasts to control chaos inside, and there is a threat of respecting the country outside.If you can help the Imperial Beast Sect become stronger, you can also drag down some of Jingguo's strength and relieve some pressure on Nanshan Kingdom.Of course, you can't let the Imperial Beast Sect become too strong, otherwise, Jingguo may temporarily abandon the Beishan Kingdom and attack them Nanshan Country first.…… Lu Zhen handed over the magic medicine to the people of the Imperial Beast Sect, and the Imperial Beast Sect was very grateful.With the magic medicine, they may be able to compete with the Jingguo people of the Beishan Kingdom.The people of the Imperial Beast Sect couldn't help but be eager to return, and said goodbye to Lu Zhen at the moment.Lu Zhen didn't force him to stay, Beishan was in trouble, and it was not appropriate to leave people here.Besides, let them go back early, and they can better contain the people who respect the country.…… After sending off the people of the Imperial Beast Sect, Lu Zhen summoned the sect masters of the four branches below, as well as several major elders, to hold a meeting to discuss countermeasures.The other mountains are already in a hurry, and they need to come up with a plan as soon as possible.In order to better understand the situation in the other mountains, the disciples who reported the news also attended the meeting.According to the information revealed by those disciples, the other mountains are much weaker than the Entering Cloud Mountain, although a large number of stronger beasts have also appeared, but it seems that there are no extraordinarily strong beasts that have found their innate qi.Perhaps, Izumo Mountain also has reservations, afraid that other mountains will steal their limelight.However, as the situation changes, it is very likely that the method of finding the innate qi will be passed on to the other mountains, and it may not be long before the other mountains will also appear with extremely strong beasts that have found the innate qi.The meeting lasted from morning to evening, and everyone did not even eat lunch, and they were debating and analyzing.Lu Zhen is an open-minded person who encourages his subordinates to express their opinions.However, after a day of meeting, Lu Zhen understood that there was really no better way than what Li Zheng said.So, in the end, Lu Zhen made a final decision, in order to preserve the vital forces of Nanshan Kingdom and create conditions for the future strategic counteroffensive, he began a strategic retreat within half a month in the future.This retreat will give up one-third of the territory of Nanshan Country to the beasts.And in the retreat, the people will inevitably have losses, catch up with the wild beasts, and maybe there will be casualties.But I can't care about that right now."
Maybe this retreat is a mistake, but there is really no better way, whether it is a merit or a fault, and it will be commented on by future generations."
Lu Zhen wrote a letter in his hand, asking the disciple to hurry up and send it to Jingshi.Originally, the fake thing was not involved in the government, but this time Lu Zhen did not hesitate at all, and listed the details of the strategic retreat one by one, and asked the disciples to report to the lord of the country.…… After receiving Lu Zhen's letter, the lord immediately summoned his ministers to discuss.When they heard that they were going to give up a third of their territory to the beasts, the ministers talked about it, and they all thought it was too weak.However, when the lord of the country said that this was what Sect Master Lu meant, the discussion of the ministers was much quieter.Although the fake thing is not very involved in the government politics, it does not mean that these ministers dare to ignore its existence.In the past, there were also mediocre lords who only knew pleasure, and there were also stubborn lords who acted arbitrarily and recklessly, regardless of the lives of the people, and there were also lords of the country with superior abilities, who wanted to get rid of the influence of fake things and establish their own prestige.There is only one fate for these lords: dethronement.The fake thing claims to be the guardian of the Nanshan Kingdom, how can it be allowed to be the lord of the country?
It is precisely because of such a huge influence that each sect master has set a rule that no one is allowed to interfere in the government.The imperial court is responsible for the operation and management of the country, and the fake thing is responsible for the responsibility of guarding.…… Sure enough, as Li Zheng expected, after the battle of Zhuyun Mountain, the beasts of Zhuyun Mountain figured out the reality of the human side, and no longer had any scruples, and began to attack the mountain the next day.The beasts of the four mountains rushed down the mountain at the same time, and the already tight front line was even more urgent.Lu Zhen couldn't, so he could only ask the sect master in charge of each mountain to take his disciples to return to his place for defense for the time being, while he himself took a few elders and the disciples of the Wind Splitting Earth Gate to stick to the first position of Yunshan Mountain.Soon, the imperial court also passed Lu Zhen's plan, and the city lords led the guards in the city to escort the evacuation of the people.The people withdrew, and the fake veins and the army could not be withdrawn for the time being.If they withdraw, the beast will be like a wolf into the flock, and many people will be slaughtered.They will hold out for a while longer to buy time for the people to evacuate.When it really can't be held, there are still people who don't have time to evacuate, so they can't take care of it.The only fortunate thing is that those beast leaders, after finding their innate qi, cherish their lives even more, and dare not rush forward, they all drive ordinary beasts to impact.Because of this, the defense line below will not be immediately overwhelmed.If that's the case, it's also quite difficult to defend.The army is still the army of the past, the beast, but it is not the beast of the past.With the blessing of the magic medicine, the beast is several times stronger than before.And it doesn't hurt to die, and when a batch dies, another batch is immediately made.In just three days, the front line suffered heavy casualties, with 5,000 defenders in Yunshan, 500 killed and more than 1,000 casualties.This is still with the help of the disciples of the fake lineage, either creating traps to trap the beasts, or creating boulder cannonballs to throw into the beasts, or creating strong winds to blow the beasts open......
Without the assistance of the Fake One Lineage disciple, the ordinary guard army would be like a small boat in the vast sea, rushing and crushing.…… Not far outside Xiangcheng, next to the Poor Hunter Zone, in a tent.Lu Zhen sat in front of him, and in addition to the elders, there were also several officers who were responsible for guarding the Cloud Mountain, and Li Zheng and the three of them were also standing aside.During the special period, Lü Zhen took over the command power, and appointed himself as the generalissimo during the war, leading the front-line military and political affairs.The defenders of Yunshan were arranged on the periphery.On the other side of a trench were the beasts seeking an opportunity to attack, and in this tent, the howls of the beasts on the opposite side could be heard clearly.And this temporary tent is Lu Zhen's camp.Having just withstood the onslaught of the beast, everyone was reporting the battle situation to Lu Zhen.Elder of the fake thing: "Sect Master, it can't go on like this, we disciples, our strength is not long enough, go up for a while, we will use up our strength, go down and rest, and I can't bear to see those defenders being slaughtered by wild beasts, go up and die, I'm afraid they will be abolished."
How's that good?
”Another Elder: "Sect Master, now those beasts are all rough and thick-skinned, just like iron walls, and the stones we threw at them are like tickling them.According to the subordinates, we have to think of some other way, or use fire, or poison, or smoke......"
Lu Zhen nodded, and asked a few generals next to him: "How is the situation over there?"
”A general said: "Marshal, my side can still hold on, but there are a lot of casualties, and the replenishment of swords and arrows is a little bit unable to keep up." ”Another general said: "Marshal, I am here with some recruits, where have I seen this kind of scene, against the beast, don't talk about going up and fighting, I want to turn around and run away......
Lu Zhen asked another general: "General Zheng, you are in charge of logistics and supply, how is the situation on your side?"
”A slightly short general stood up and said: "Marshal, in terms of logistics and supply, grain and grass are not a problem, but there is a big gap in weapons, mainly because there is no war on weekdays, and the inventory is insufficient......"
Lu Zhen nodded, and then turned his head to look at Li Zheng and the others: "Three immortal masters, I saw you spill a potion that day, which caused plants to grow on the beast's body, is there still a reserve of this potion?"
”Ci'an said: "There are still some potions, but I tried it today, and it doesn't seem to have much effect, presumably ......
It was the leaders of the beasts who came up with a way to deal with it. ”Lu Zhen shook his head and asked General Yi again: "General Huang, I asked you to assist in the evacuation of the people, how is the evacuation of the people now?"
”An elegant-looking general stood up and said: "Marshal, now the people in various cities are evacuating in an orderly manner, but many people are difficult to leave their homeland, it is difficult to explain them, and the time is more urgent......
Lu Zhen said: "Those who don't want to go, don't care about them, time is pressing, you can't manage so much!"
”"Yes, Marshal!"
The elegant general replied and retreated back to his place.Lu Zhen said to everyone again: "Everyone, I know your difficulties, I will find a way to solve them for you one by one, everyone work hard, and hold on for a few more days."
But be careful, don't fight with them!
We are buying time for the people to evacuate, not desperate with them!
Okay, you guys go down, the three immortal masters, please stay for a while. ”After everyone left, Li Zheng asked, "Sect Master Lu, how are you going to solve the problem they said?"
”Lu Zhen smiled bitterly: "Why should the immortal master ask more, you know that I have no choice."
And it's not our job to fight them here.It's just a matter of delaying for a few days, so that there will be fewer people affected by the disaster......"
