Then, the so-called Great Sage King Banquet is actually a competition between nine great ghost kings in the ghost domain.Comparing the strength of his subordinates is the main focus, and at the same time, he will start a challenge to the big ghost king during this rally.There will be a lot of bets on winning or losing.The stakes vary from big to small, the biggest being the position of the Great Ghost King, and the second is the hunting grounds occupied by both sides.

According to the results of the Great Sage King Banquet in the past, although the demon spirit clan always has the upper hand, they just have some advantages in the ranking of the next five Great Sage Kings, and they can even search for some soul boys.But there has never been a precedent for capturing a hunting ground in a country.This time, it was the Great Sage King of Wanjiang who gave up a piece of human territory in order to keep his position as the Great Sage King of Yonghe in Xingba.

This incident caused an uproar in the entire ghost domain.The morale of the demon spirit clan was greatly boosted, but the human spirit clan gritted their teeth but could only swallow this breath.

Zhang Yan found a lot of "joy" and "excitement" emotions in the memory of the demon spirit general who was brought to the human spirit hunting ground this time.But Zhang Yan sensed an unusual smell from it.

Just such a coincidence?Just after being cleaned up by Zhang Yan, the Dead Silence Road in Nanyuan Kingdom has no hope of recovery and dare not provoke Zhang Yan again, so he immediately handed over this "hunting ground" to the demon spirit clan as a price?

In Zhang Yan's view, this is more like a "waste utilization" strategy.For the Human Eldar who seemed to have suffered a heavy loss, it was actually not as bad as it seemed.Correspondingly, the demon spirit clan was sent to Zhang Yan in turn.This was the condition that the Great Ghost King of Wanjiang had proposed before lobbying Zhang Yan.Can it be considered a roundabout achievement?

"It's a little troublesome."

After Zhang Yan figured out these joints, he immediately understood that Nanyuan Kingdom was really in big trouble at this time.

Why do you say that Nanyuan Country is in big trouble instead of him?Because for Zhang Yan, even a big ghost king like Xu Fengbai could almost overtake him, so would he be afraid of other ghosts?When it comes, there is a high probability that it will only be transformed into aura of success by him.But for Nanyuan Nation, the situation is completely different, and it is not an exaggeration to describe it as a "disaster".

"Teacher, why did that ghost general just collapsed suddenly? Was it your means to hollow it out?"

Zhang Yan lowered his head and smiled at Yang Rui who asked the question: "That's right. The disadvantage of taking the soul is that it will cost the soul body. Alright, the matter here is over, let's return to the source city."

After saying that, Zhang Yan set up the Skylark Shuttle and flew back to Langyuan City with his two disciples under the moonlight.Immediately afterwards, Zhang Yan asked Yang Rui and Wang Nian to meditate in Zhang's mansion.This is for them to digest the meritorious aura that belongs to them as soon as possible.

Yang Rui is fine, apart from being pleasantly surprised by the infusion of meritorious aura, his cultivation is only a big step forward, and there is still a long way to go before he can cross the realm.But Wang Nian is different. He was in the state of approaching the middle stage of Qi Entraining Realm before. Now, as soon as these meritorious auras arrive, the barrier in the middle stage of Qi Entraining Realm is immediately broken, and then he rushed forward along the path of the middle stage It took a long time to stop.

In order to protect Wang Nian, Zhang Yan stayed at home for two days this time, and did not feel relieved until Wang Nian started to lay a solid foundation.

After recruiting He Xianghong, Zhang Yan ordered: "Go find Shen Wujiu, just say that I'm back, and let him come to my house to talk about it."

He Xianghong took the order and went out.And Zhang Yan found a geographical map of Nanyuan Kingdom, and picked up a red pen to circle a few small circles on it.Then wait for Shen Wujiu's arrival.

As a result, He Xianghong ran back a short while after leaving the house.

"Why did you come back?"

"Master, Mr. Shen arranged for the brothers to wait outside the mansion. They asked me as soon as I went out, saying that Mr. Shen would come over soon."

Zhang Yan smiled and waved his hands, and asked He Xianghong to make tea. It seemed that Shen Wujiu was already impatient.It is estimated that the situation of the demon spirit clan in Nanyuan Kingdom is more troublesome than he expected.

Zhang Yan waited at home for a cup of tea, when he heard a knock on the door, He Xianghong went out and led Shen Wujiu in quickly.

Shen Wujiu hurriedly asked after bowing his hands, "Is there any good news for Mr. Zhang?"

Seeing Shen Wujiu's appearance, Zhang Yan didn't have any trouble, and said directly: "I found a clue and touched some doors. But it is different from before. Mr. Shen, let's see for yourself." While talking, Zhang Yan Then he handed the simplified geographic map of Nanyuan Kingdom that he circled in red to Shen Wujiu for him to see for himself.

Shen Wujiu quickly took it, and after taking a look at it, he called out: "Mr. Zhang, this, these are dead silence?"

"Ok!"

"Isn't that too much? And why are some circles bigger and some smaller?" Shen Wujiu saw more than a dozen red circles on the map, and his scalp tingled for a while, and at the same time, he also found that the sizes of these red circles were different.

Zhang Yan said with a smile: "This is what I said about the 'difference' with Mr. Shen. The demon spirit clan seems to have another way of dealing with the dead silence. Not only are the number several times larger, but they can also move. The big circle in the picture is fixed, and those small circles are constantly moving position."

Chapter 343 Preparation

Zhang Yan's words were like a heavy hammer, and it stunned Shen Wujiu.

Shen Wujiu even had the urge to cry.

What is this for? !Is Nanyuan Kingdom too difficult?Is he, Shen Wujiu, too unlucky?It's been hard to sort out the Dead Silence Dao in Nanyuan Kingdom. Without those spirit clans who suddenly went mad to wreak havoc, they can always deal with the crisis in the southwest with peace of mind, but how long has it been?again? !

And this time it was no longer the Human Spirit Race, but the Demon Spirit Race!This is more than ten times worse than before.Adding what Zhang Yan said just now, wouldn't it be a hundred times worse?

Although Shen Wujiu couldn't compete with Zhang Yan in dealing with ghosts, but he knew a lot about the spirit race, at least the superficial things.

For example, Shen Wujiu is very clear about the difference between the demon spirit clan and the human spirit clan, otherwise he wouldn't be so frightened.

The human spirit race has always been sneaky and harmful, while the demon spirit race is like the vermin. The land they pass through is all terracotta, and they will never "sneak" with you.That is to say, the powerful forces of the Yaozu who have more means to deal with the Lingzu can withstand it.For the human race, there is basically no way to contain it.Not to mention the Nanyuan Kingdom, it would be the same for a Shang Kingdom like Huayue.

Originally thought that Zhang Yan could rely on Zhang Yan's means to copy the previous method of blocking the Dead Silence Road, but Zhang Yan directly threw out a map that completely broke all Shen Wujiu's illusions.

Can a place like Dead Silence Road still move? !

But after thinking about it carefully, Shen Wujiu accepted Zhang Yan's statement.Because if the way of death and silence cannot move, how can the monster race and the spirit race be inseparable?He had already guarded the exit of the Dead Silence Road and blocked the demon spirits inside.

"Mr. Zhang, here, what should we do?"

"Hehe, Mr. Shen, don't panic, where are you going? Your lord should know what kind of storm the demon spirit clan caused in the demon kingdom, right?"

It's okay if you don't ask this sentence, but as soon as Shen Wujiu asked, the scene appeared in his mind unconsciously, and then he understood what Zhang Yan meant.

"Mr. Zhang is saying that this is just the beginning?"

"That's natural. The Monster Spirit Clan has always left no blade of grass in the Monster Clan's realm. But now at least in Nanyuan, it has not been heard that every city there has been slaughtered, right?"

"Mr. Zhang, are you saying that the demon spirit clan is just testing?!" Although he already had the answer in his heart, Shen Wujiu still couldn't hide his worry.

Zhang Yan nodded, there was no need for him to say too much at this time.He believed that Shen Wujiu must know what the demon spirit clan looked like in the demon country.This time, he used Soul Snatch to clean up the memory of a ghost general of the Demon Spirit Race. It was not only clear about those dead ways and the reason why they appeared in Nanyuan Kingdom, but also their general follow-up plan.For example, if it is the first time to set foot on the territory of the human race, what is different here from the monster race, whether there is any threat, and so on.Therefore, the current demon spirit clan can be regarded as "outposts", and the big army is still behind!

Shen Wujiu stood up and wanted to say goodbye, but subconsciously felt that he should report the matter here as soon as possible.But as soon as he stood up, he stopped and scolded himself for being out of order in his heart.How can I report the matter here?It shouldn't be that if the ravages of the spirit race could be solved, they wouldn't have been messed up in the first place.Now that the situation is more complicated and worse, what else can be done?

Isn't it the only way to ask Zhang Yan?So Shen Wujiu felt that he might as well check out Zhang Yan's tone before reporting it to the higher authorities.

"Mr. Zhang, please teach me!" Shen Wujiu didn't sit back, and directly bowed deeply to Zhang Yan.

Zhang Yanxu raised his hand, and an invisible force helped Shen Wujiu up.He said with a smile: "Master Shen, you don't need to be so polite. I promised before that I would help deal with the issue of the Dead Silence Dao and the spirit race rampaging in Nanyuan Kingdom. Now this promise is still valid. It's just that we need to change it in a different way."

"Please explain in detail, sir!"

……

After Shen Wujiu came out of Zhang Yan's house, he immediately went back to the temporary station set up by the Special Case Department in Langyuan City, found a pen and paper, and began to write vigorously, citing the news and statements he got at Zhang Yan's mansion without incident. Everything, big and small, was written down.Then, five full-time couriers were recruited and rushed to Changhu County in five routes day and night.

Then he wrote a very brief flyer to fly back first.

In fact, if it wasn't for Shen Wujiu who wanted to stay close to Zhang Yan and listen to news at any time, he would have to go back and report this matter in person.Now it can only take a little more trouble.

Two days later, Wu Kui, who was in charge of the special case department, received Feiyu from Langyuan City, and took out a small note from the brass tube tied to his paw.The above is the brief information that Shen Wujiu sent back first.It is also mentioned that the details will be sent later.

After Wu Kui got Fei Yu, he was not in a hurry to report to Yuanding Imperial City, but calmly waited for the details.

Now Wu Kui is not in Yuanding Imperial City, but has followed Shi Xuan's main force of the Eastern Army into Changhu County from outside Tonghu Pass, and is building towards the westernmost part of Changhu County. The temporary army stronghold that got up went forward.And he held the post of military supervisor with the charter issued to him by Emperor Yang Sheng, staring at Shi Xuan nearby.

A few days later, the next five couriers who escorted the confidential content successively caught up with Wu Kui who was moving with the army.Only then did Wu Kui get the complete information.

After reading the information, Wu Kui's tense nerves eased a lot, and he even breathed a sigh of relief subconsciously.

Afterwards, Wu Kui sent the news he received back to Yuanding Imperial City with flying feathers overnight, and at the same time, like Shen Wujiu, split up the latter news and sent it back by secret delivery to present to the emperor face to face.

Early the next morning, the army broke out, and Wu Kui followed Shi Xuan as usual.The emotional changes on his body were not deliberately hidden, which caught Shi Xuan's attention.

"Master Wu seems to have any good news? Can this commander be happy?" Shi Xuan naturally noticed the change in Wu Kui's mood.Not only is life difficult for the military, but so is the life of the Special Cases Department.Along the way, Shi Xuan could clearly feel the same "irritability" and "anxiety" from Wu Kui.But in the past few days, I heard that Wu Kui had received many secret deliveries, and after that, his sadness seemed to fade away.Shi Xuan was curious, and asked to see if he could know the good news.

Wu Kui was not prepared to hide everything from Shi Xuan either.Firstly, it was impossible to hide the fact about the raging of the Spirit Race from a general like Shi Xuan.On the other hand, the news itself was intended to inform Shi Xuan so that Shi Xuan could make adjustments in his military strategy.

"There is good news, Junshuai, guess what?"

"Hehe, Master Wu is in charge of the special case department, and it can make Master Wu feel better. Could it be that he has found a way to curb those bedbugs?"

Chapter 344 Plan

Shi Xuan knew very well that Wu Kui's sudden arrival was the emperor putting on the reins for him.Firstly, it is convenient to control him, and secondly, it is also a way to prevent him from happening.

Shi Xuan knew what Wu Kui was capable of. Even though he had stepped into the middle stage of Duanshan Realm with a Bone Strengthening Pill, he still felt pressured like facing a mountain when facing Wu Kui.It's just that now he can see the top of the mountain, so that even the outline is not as blurred as before.

This time, Shi Xuan was helpless when he came down from Tonghu Pass to Changhu County.If there is a choice, he doesn't want to come here.Because once he left now, the north side would be completely empty.Moreover, the threat from the southwest of the Yuanding Imperial City must also be taken into account, while defending Zhongding County where the Imperial City is located.Invisibly, the Eastern Army is being used as the Central Army.

The most important thing is that defending Zhongding County and the Imperial City was originally an errand of the imperial army, but now the emperor asked him to replace him. This trust has really passed. Shi Xuan is worried that things will turn against each other, and he will not end well in the end.

But an order is an order, even with Wu Kui serving as a military supervisor by his side, Shi Xuan didn't dare to postpone it at all.All the way south.

But just two days after departure, the situation got worse again.The Spirit Race that had been cleaned up with great difficulty before appeared again, and this time it was no longer the Human Spirit Race but the Demon Spirit Race.The changes also made Shi Xuan very worried, even more than worried about the military affairs in Xiyuan County and Chonglan County.

Soldiers are not afraid of how fierce the enemy is, but what they fear most is that they will cause chaos in the rear while they are still in the front.In that case, there is almost no chance of winning.

It was also for this reason that Shi Xuan asked a little recklessly, hoping that the reason for Wu Kui's better mood was the good news about the rampage of the Spirit Race as he guessed.

Wu Kui laughed when he heard the words, and said: "The military commander really knows things like a god. It's the news from the Spirit Race."

"Oh? I'd like to hear about it!"

Wu Kui smiled.He thought to himself that Shi Xuan was still as curious as when he was learning martial arts with him.Of course, Wu Kui didn't give a shit either.

"The military commander should know Mr. Zhang Yan Zhang, right? I don't want to hide it from you. The last time the spirit tribes in Nanyuan Kingdom were wiped out was Mr. Zhang's hand. After blocking the Dead Silence Road, the remaining spirit tribes either escaped or were wiped out." Lost. Without the connection between the Spirit Race and the Sanctuary, Nanyuan Kingdom will lose its meaning to the bugs of the Spirit Race. The situation of raging will immediately improve.

This time it is still up to Mr. Zhang to make the move.The people below have already received Mr. Zhang's promise that they will block most of the dead paths again, and the remaining dead paths that can be moved can only be dealt with by flexible encirclement and suppression.Although there is no way to directly block the entrance and exit as before, it can also greatly reduce the situation where the spirit race is rampant. "

Wu Kui's words were relatively general, but it was considered to have given Shi Xuan a sigh of relief.It can greatly alleviate the opponent's worries about the supply of rear supplies.

"So the demon spirit clan won't appear on a large scale?" Shi Xuan continued to ask.As long as the demon spirit clan does not appear on a large scale, there will be no chaos in Nanyuan in the short term.As long as there is no chaos, the supplies in charge of the front line of the army will not be chaotic.

"According to Mr. Zhang, that should be the case."

What was not told to Shi Xuan was the internal affairs of the Special Case Department, and Shi Xuan didn't need to know about it for the time being.

Zhang Yan's change of tactics is actually not new.In addition to being willing to block the Dead Silence Road, what we want to promote at the same time is the continued expansion of the Special Cases Division.It's actually pretty much the same as before.And those expanded manpower only need simple training, and then use Zhang Yan's promise to increase the supply of ghost bells to extinguish or warn some cases of rampant spirit race.When encountering a difficult case, Zhang Yan also promised to personally handle it.

Of course, there are also some ways that are completely different from before.It's just that these things can't be told to Shi Xuan for the time being, the emperor needs to discuss with the military department office first, and then discuss with the Western Army defending Baishi City before notifying Shi Xuan separately.

Although Wu Kui didn't continue talking, Shi Xuan could also imagine that what he knew now was certainly not everything.It is no secret that the demon spirit clan is so powerful.If it is so easy to clean up, it won't make the big demon kingdoms miserable.I just don't know what else Zhang Yan has to do, but Wu Kui's appearance seems very impressive.

Shi Xuan and Wu Kui led the army and finally arrived at an open area at the westernmost end of Changhu County next to Zhongding County five days later.This is where the Eastern Army is now temporarily stationed.Next, Shi Xuan will directly take care of Zhongding County and the north of Nanyuan Kingdom.Defense missions in three directions to the east.It doesn't need to be watertight, even if it is barely even, I don't know how much brains Shixuan will need to spend.

And in the past few days, the flying feather sent by Wu Kui also arrived in the Yuanding Imperial City Palace smoothly, and was handed over to Yang Sheng by the eunuch who temporarily replaced Wu Kui.

Yang Sheng was very happy with the content of the briefing on Feiyu, and said "very good" several times after reading it.No one in the entire Nanyuan Kingdom is more worried about the raging spirit race that has returned.Even in less than a month, the number of cases and deaths caused by the rampage of the demon spirit race exceeded the level of the previous few months when the human spirit race was the victim.

Now Zhang Yan can really solve it?

What Yang Sheng could think of were the two things that Zhang Yan had done before, such as blocking the dead road and using the ghost-sucking bell to increase the speed and quantity of the Special Case Division's power formation.But Wu Kui also mentioned a sentence in the briefing, "Mr. Zhang still has a means of attracting disasters, which can greatly alleviate the current crisis of the Spirit Race."

Disaster pull?This statement made Yang Sheng have some guesses, but he couldn't figure out what Zhang Yan should do to achieve this.So he waited impatiently again, and he would not know until the detailed plan was sent by the secret courier later.

But when Yang Sheng saw the detailed plan, he laughed three times and ordered the chief and deputy directors of the Ministry of War to be quickly summoned into the palace, and then the three of them discussed in the study for a long time.Afterwards, the deputy director of the Ministry of War Yamen personally rushed to Xiyuan County with this sorted-out plan. He needed to have a detailed discussion with the commander of the Western Army in person to prepare for the implementation of the plan.

In the end, when the commander of the Western Army saw the plan, he had to marvel at the plan's unconstrained imagination.

"The misfortune leads? The word misfortune should refer to those demon spirits that suddenly appeared. And the meaning of traction is to lure the evil spirits of the demon spirits away. But I didn't expect that Mr. Zhang would prepare Lead these demon spirits to the demons!

But it's really wonderful! "

"The military commander thinks this plan is feasible?"

"Just looking at this plan is absolutely feasible. After all, compared to our human race, in the eyes of the demon spirit clan, the living souls of those monster races are much more delicious. When they know that there are monster races in our Nanyuan Kingdom It is possible that they will swarm there. By then, the pressure on the front line of Baishi City will be greatly relieved.

But it depends on whether that Mr. Zhang can do the preparations he said before. "

Chapter 345

Zhang Yan received two contracts from the Royal Household Office.One was a deed of ownership for a medium-sized gemstone mine.There is also a land deed for the Bluff Mountain in Changhu County and the surrounding area of ​​more than [-] miles.

These two contracts are Zhang Yan's reward this time.Or hard work.

It's hard to be the emperor of Nanyuan Kingdom.Generally, things that are rewarded to subordinates are not suitable for dealing with Zhang Yan.money?There is no shortage of Zhang Yan at all, just relying on the means of casting soldiers is enough to make a country as rich as an enemy.The only thing that Zhang Yan cares about is the "Longevity Stone", which is temporarily known. Last time, there was an exchange. This time, Yang Sheng directly took out a high-yielding longevity stone mine from the royal family and gave it to Zhang Yan.

As for the precipitous cliff mountain and the land deeds for dozens of miles around it, this can be regarded as Yang Sheng's fit for Zhang Yan's previous gap.Because Zhang Yan once said that if he had the opportunity in the future, he would choose a place with beautiful mountains and clear waters in Nanyuan Country as his mountain gate.Yang Sheng didn't need Zhang Yan to wait this time, and gave it directly.

Zhang Yan also smiled when he got these two contracts, and didn't refuse, but he didn't say much either.Because he knew that for Nanyuan Nation, as long as it could cope with the crisis of the Demon Spirit Clan, no matter how high the price was, it could be tolerated.What's more, it's just a mine, a wild mountain.The key point is that they cannot be moved away in Nanyuan Country, and as long as Zhang Yan accepts it, he will be inseparable from Nanyuan Country.

In fact, Zhang Yanyu has been making preparations since Shen Wujiu met for the first time.He didn't intentionally wait for the response from the emperor of Nanyuan Kingdom, let alone wait for the reward.Because for ghosts, they are Zhang Yan's best rewards, but it's Huang Tianyu's world that presents the rewards.

So Zhang Yan doesn't need anyone to urge him, he will be very active himself.For example, in the past half a month, he had given Shen Wujiu a total of thirty ghost-suppressing bells, and these ghost-suppressing bells were all specially adjusted for the demon spirit clan.

Moreover, Zhang Yan also promised that Shen Wujiu would strive to deliver a ghost-killing bell to the special case department every day in the next month.

In addition, after Shen Wujiu received Fei Yu's order to "agree to the plan" from Yuanding Imperial City, Zhang Yan also started the first step of the plan: to arrange the twelve-day gang array to block the door again.

Zhang Yan was the first to take back the Tiangang pillars of the large formations that had been arranged before.This saved him a lot of refining time.

The order of blocking this time is different from the previous ones. The first to block is the dead silence road in the north and east of Nanyuan Kingdom and the central area.Of course, it is the kind of dead silence that cannot move its position.However, the Dead Silence Road, which is close to Xiyuan County and Chonglan County where the Yubei Mountain Fortress is located, was intentionally left behind.

As for the movable entrances and exits of the Dead Silence Road, Zhang Yan's approach was to follow suit, using the method of the special case department and the demon species to attack together.

In this way, when everything goes well, a situation will be formed: except for the dead silence roads near Chonglan County and Xiyuan County, other dead silence roads, whether they are fixed or movable, will be affected. Strong blocking or simply being blocked and unable to get out.Then the Dead Silence Road around Chonglan County and Xiyuan County will naturally become the main entrance and exit for the demon spirits to come to Nanyuan Country. After all, they will not be attacked here, and the loss will be much smaller.

As the war in Chonglan County and Xiyuan County is getting more and more anxious, the local people have long been evacuated to the subsequent counties by the local yamen in a planned way.Especially in Xiyuan County, which is always in danger, the army station there is not only the defense force but also the main force for growing food.And those farmers who came here for high wages should have run away as soon as the war started.Therefore, compared to other counties, the number of ordinary people in Chonglan County and Xiyuan County is absolutely very small.

Furthermore, in the confrontation between Nanyuan Kingdom and Yaozu, Nanyuan Kingdom has always been in a passive defensive situation.The only ones who can be called active in the battle are the two small-scale collisions between Song Qinghe and the two Yao Kingdom clans on the Yubeishan Fortress relying on the Bagua Formation.Most of the time it is to shrink the defense line and concentrate on holding the key front.For example, the Yubei Mountain Fortress, such as the first line of the Baishi City Army Tunnel in Xiyuan County.

There are tens of thousands of people concentrated in such a huge county, and it is difficult to find people in other places, which reduces the loss of troops.At the same time, it also gave the demon spirit family a huge room to explore these two counties.

Finally, here comes the wonderful part.
