69novels Chapter 428
Chapter 428
Qingcheng, now occupied by the army of the Supreme Sect, is now clearing the remaining forces of the Zhenbei Army in the city.
These were ordinary soldiers, but after joining the Zhenbei Army, they became like a different person. It was impossible for them not to surrender. Even if the city was broken, the remaining Zhenbei Army was still waiting for an opportunity to launch a sneak attack in the dark, making the enemy restless.
Such a resilient opponent has not appeared in the chaotic area for a long time.
Long Tian has obtained accurate intelligence from there.
Because it was the Supreme Sect that suddenly took action, it was impossible to rescue them at this moment, and they could only avenge the sacrificed soldiers.
"Your Majesty, since the Supreme Sect took the initiative to attack us, they must have made preparations. We are now lacking intelligence and may fall into an unfavorable situation. I ask your Majesty to temporarily stop his wrath."
Cao Zhengchun did not want Long Tian to take risks under impulse.
"Where is Zhao Gao now?"
The people of Luowang have always been secretive. After completing the task of assassinating the prince of Qi last time, they disappeared again.
"Your Majesty, Zhao Gao and Luo Wang's people are now setting up surveillance around us and monitoring suspicious personnel. Your Majesty can dispatch them at any time."
Cao Zhengchun quickly replied.
"Notify Zhao Gao to take people to Hecheng to investigate the purpose of the Supreme Sect. If there is a chance, kill several extraordinary people in the Supreme Sect and teach them a profound lesson."
This matter cannot be let go. However, if Long Tian wants to retaliate, it will take time to mobilize the army, and the newly conquered Zhenbei Army has not yet been fully formed, unless troops are transferred from the Ten Thousand Mountains.
However, at this moment, Long Tian has not completely torn his face with all parties, and he does not want to use too much power from the Ten Thousand Mountains for the time being.
Since the army cannot move, let Zhao Gao send people first.
Two more days have passed.
"Your Majesty, the Supreme Sect is going too far. They have already broken through three of our cities, and there are still soldiers who intend to continue to attack us."
In the past two days, Long Tian has lost three cities again. Although they were just conquered, it has no effect on Long Tian's strength. However, if this trend continues, it will be very disadvantageous to Long Tian, at least it will be embarrassing.
"Hmph, I am here to support you. Since the Supreme Sect is so excessive, don't blame me."
"Order Bai Qi to stop moving forward, gather troops, and prepare for a battle with the Supreme Sect."
"Order Yue Fei to move towards Baicheng and be ready to support the battlefield at any time."
Long Tian did not respond in time, which seemed to have caused some illusions to the Supreme Sect.
No matter what the Supreme Sect's purpose is, it has already touched Long Tian's interests, so it must fight back.
"Your Majesty, Xuehong from Yongcheng has sent someone over."
At this time, Cao Zhengchun came in to report.
"Finally here, I thought the court didn't care."
It's been three days since the incident, the court couldn't be unaware of the news here, and Long Tian was waiting for the court's attitude, so he didn't take action.
After a while, a man walked in under the leadership of Cao Zhengchun.
"Meet His Royal Highness the Northern King, I am here on the orders of His Majesty and King Kaoshan to mediate the conflict between you and the Supreme Sect."
This man was just a messenger, and didn't have much practical significance.
But what this man said made Long Tian dissatisfied.
"This lord is wrong, there is no conflict between the king and the Supreme Sect, it was the people of the Supreme Sect who attacked the king for no reason, intending to provoke a war."
"The Supreme Sect's move is to deliberately undermine the internal stability of the Liyang Dynasty, and it has nothing to do with the king. I don't know what His Majesty and King Kaoshan mean?"
Long Tian didn't indulge him at all, and pointed out the problem in his words.
"Your Highness, His Majesty and the Prince mean peace is the most valuable. It's just a few cities. Please be generous, don't bother with the Supreme Sect, and put the overall situation first."
"As for the Supreme Sect, the court has also sent people there. I believe they dare not do anything wrong."
Downplaying the hatred, everything is based on the interests of the court. As for the dead Zhenbei Army, no one cares.
"The interests of the court should indeed be considered, and the overall situation should also be taken into account, but it is an indisputable fact that more than 100,000 people were killed and injured in my Zhenbei Army."
"This king has just arrived, and it is not easy to prepare a certain number of Zhenbei Army. Just like that, more than 100,000 people are gone. Will the court compensate?"
These losses don't matter to Long Tian, but outsiders don't know. It is already quite difficult to get hundreds of thousands of troops in a short period of time.
"This subordinate has not received any instructions, but this subordinate will report to the court immediately after returning."
To put it bluntly, he still doesn't want to compensate Long Tian, otherwise how could he not think of it.
"Okay, I know everything."
"You go back first. As long as the Supreme Sect stops attacking, I will wait for the court's decision on this matter. But if the Supreme Sect continues to attack,Offensive, then I will never sit still and wait for death. "
Long Tian expressed his attitude.
Did Long Tian compromise? Of course not.
Long Tian wanted to give the Liyang Dynasty an illusion. I could give up pursuing this matter, but how to solve this matter would depend on the attitude of the court.
At the same time, Long Tian needed time to mobilize troops.
If the reply of the Liyang Dynasty did not satisfy him, there were many ways to provoke a war. The Supreme Sect was far from being good at military strategy.
The visitor left after getting Long Tian's promise. As for the compensation that Long Tian asked for, there was no follow-up, which was also within Long Tian's expectations.
Long Tian did not care what the Liyang Dynasty wanted at all. After sending the people away, he began to order Bai Qi to gather troops. At the same time, Yue Fei in the Ten Thousand Mountains also sent out 2 million Zhenbei troops.
Hecheng, the headquarters of the Supreme Sect.
"Seniors, the plan has begun. It is progressing smoothly. The surrounding troops are under control. We can launch a large-scale attack at any time. "
Young Master Wuyou was a little excited.
For this day, the Supreme Sect has been planning for a long time, and even sacrificed the life of a saint for it.
"Is there any reaction from Long Tian?"
At the beginning of the plan, some people did not agree with Long Tian, mainly because they were afraid of the strength of the Northern Territory.
However, more people in the Supreme Sect agreed to deal with Long Tian directly, and their reason was also afraid of the strength of the Northern Territory.
If they could deal with the Northern Territory as soon as possible, it would be more beneficial to their plan.
Even if they couldn't kill Long Tian, they had to cripple him to prevent Long Tian from causing trouble for them.
The Supreme Sect originally wanted to conquer the Northern Territory and Long Tian, which would increase their bargaining chips, but Long Tian didn't give them any face, so they had to settle for the second best and list him as the first target of attack, which could also serve as a warning to others and eliminate future troubles.
"The court sent someone to meet Long Tian, and Long Tian did not take any other actions for the time being. However, Bai Qi, who was under Long Tian's command, was gathering troops recently, and his intentions were unclear. ”
It is difficult to keep the movement of tens of millions of troops secret, unless it is in the mountains.
