Chapter 146 Sending Troops to Conquer
It is indeed convenient for one's family to participate in the dragon fight, but at the same time, the Wanfa Sect will also be jointly targeted by all other forces.
These are all predictable, so extracting the dragon veins and dragon energy of the Northern Frontier first and pretending to give up the Northern Frontier first is actually a strategy.
Everyone can see the convenience of developing first in the Northern Frontier. When it comes to the real dragon fight, the unified Northern Frontier will be an extremely strong force.
This means that many forces that want to fight for the dragon will take a fancy to the Northern Frontier. Letting these forces fight, no matter who wins or loses, is a good thing for the Wanfa Sect behind the Great Xia Dynasty.
As long as the Jiemen Pass is in hand, even if there is a force that unifies the Northern Frontier, don't think about crossing the Jiemen Pass to participate in the fight for Guandong.
After all, the Northern Frontier is just a border. As long as the main part of the Great Xia is established, it will not be difficult to mobilize the whole country to conquer the Northern Frontier at that time.
After all, the fight for the dragon is still a fight between mortals. Cultivators cannot massacre mortals. This is an iron rule. In the end, the competition for the dragon is still about territory, population, and army.
When Wan Hongcheng said this, Feng Tianzong had already roughly known the plan of the Wanfa Sect. As the winner of the last dragon competition, the people of the Wanfa Sect are indeed very good at calculating.
However, these have little impact on Feng Tianzong. The dragon competition at the end of the dynasty is still decades away. The current situation of various sects is just a pre-planning.
After occupying the northern border for decades, when it comes to the dragon competition, what will his strength be? Now he is not strong enough and can only follow the rules set by the major sects in the cultivation world.
Before the dragon competition, he can't rebel casually, otherwise they will really send high-level cultivators to deal with him.
In the name of the dragon competition, it is the best opportunity to expand the territory and population. After decades, maybe he will have the power to break the rules.
Jiemen Pass is now indeed the only passage from the northern border to Guandong, with endless mountains on both sides.
Not to mention anything else, at least after the promotion to Yuanying, there will always be the power to move mountains and fill the sea, right? What does it matter if the mountains next to Jiemen Pass are moved?
Feng Tianzong did not say much to Wan Hongcheng. Jin Shi followed Wan Hongcheng all the time. After seeing that the soldiers had indeed opened the city gate and allowed the people to enter and exit, his real body mixed in the crowd and left the city. Then he ordered Jin Shi to leave Wan Hongcheng and leave Jiemen Pass.
Although Jin Hongzhi was not found during this trip to Jiemen Pass, he unexpectedly received news that there were two sects in the northern border.
This avoided the possibility of being stabbed.
However, Feng Tianzong did not believe Wan Hongcheng's words. In the end, everyone was a competitor. Wanfa Sect was also Feng Tianzong's competitor.
He said that there were two forces hiding behind the scenes to attack the northern border, but in fact, there might not be only two. Moreover, the fight between the two sides was at the end, and maybe the old Taoist Wang Hongcheng would jump out to finish it.
Feng Tianzong did not delay and flew back to Liaoyuan City directly.
He called General Zhang Weiyu and Wang Mingyuan.
"General Zhang, how is the army prepared? Can we send troops now?" Feng Tianzong asked.
"My lord, the army of Liaoyuan City can go out at any time. As long as the opponent is not the Zhenyuan Army, I have the confidence to win.
If we fight against the Zhenyuan Army in the field, our army needs to train for a while. Our equipment is also worse than that of the Zhenyuan Army. But if we defend the city, there will be no problem." Zhang Weiyu reported the armament situation to Feng Tianzong in detail.
Feng Tianzong nodded. The Zhenyuan Army has been guarding the northern border for decades. They have well-trained soldiers and sufficient food, and their equipment is also the best.
How long has the army of Liaoyuan City been established? It is difficult to force it to be on par with the Zhenyuan Army now.
But don't worry, he still has time. The goal this time is just to unify the northern border and take the remaining fifteen cities.
Zhang Weiyu leads the army and can beat the city guards of those cities.
"Wang Mingyuan, do we have enough money and food in Liaoyuan City? Can we support General Zhang in recovering the 15 cities in the northern border?
When the time comes, will there be enough officials and yamen runners to take over the city?" Feng Tianzong asked.
"Don't worry, my lord. With the results of your emphasis on education in the past ten years, I will recruit a group of students and follow you to observe the government for a period of time, and then I should be able to take over." Wang Mingyuan said.
Indeed, Liaoyuan City has cultivated a lot of literati and officials in the past ten years, but Liaoyuan City has just experienced a round of expansion, and many officials have been sent out.
Even if there are enough scholars in the city, these people lack experience in being officials. It is indeed a bit short of sending them out to take over a city.
"In this way, in the way of old and new, recruit half of the people to be officials in Liaoyuan City, and then free up half of the manpower from Liaoyuan City to take the new people to take over the city." Feng Tianzong said.
"My lord is wise!" Wang Mingyuan flattered.
"Then send out the troops. Take as many cities as you can before the New Year. These two bone spirit puppets are the magic weapons passed down by my master. Each of you can take one to protect your safety." Feng Tianzong said.
It is true that cultivators cannot kill mortals on a large scale, but no one cares if they kill dozens or hundreds of people. How can the various sects honestly develop the people's army and conquer the world step by step when they are fighting for the dragon?
Even killing the opponent's commander is a conventional method, and there are even large-scale spells to change the weather. As long as it is not a direct killing, no one will pursue it.
Even the rules formulated by the major sects have many loopholes. As long as it is acceptable on the surface, no one will pursue it.
Of course, whether to pursue it depends on whether the sect behind you is strong. If the sect behind you is strong, any excessive behavior of the opponent can be pursued.
The Puppet Sect is of course very strong, but it is obvious that Feng Tianzong cannot borrow the light of the sect for the time being. Unless he does not improve his cultivation, he dare not go back to the sect to complain.
However, having a powerful sect behind him can also prevent the opponent from playing rogue with him, and the opponent must also consider the reaction of the Puppet Sect.
"I obey your order. As long as there is no problem with logistics, at least three cities can be captured before the New Year." Zhang Weiyu said confidently.
"Of course there won't be any problems with logistics. Although our Liaoyuan City has just completed disaster relief, we are not short of food, clothing, and weapons." Wang Mingyuan said confidently.
Zhang Weiyu did not delay and directly sent out 20,000 troops, divided into two groups, to attack the two cities closest to Liaoyuan City's sphere of influence.
