Absolute control over the start, I will develop my own immortality

Dongzhou Prefecture.

A map was placed on the table. Dongzhou Wang Liying looked at the map with a trace of pride on his face.

"Cheng Tong, you only got this opportunity because of the kindness of your fathers. You want to compete with me? There are so many hard-to-gnaw bones in Jiangzhou. I want to see how you win!"

There was silence in Jiangzhou Mansion.

The map of Jiangzhou was also placed in front of him, but Cheng Tong frowned.

On the map, the entire middle part of Jiangzhou has been planted with the flag of the King of Jiangzhou, but the northern and southern ends still belong to the imperial court.

"That guy Li Ying, since he has put forward such a condition, he must be confident. I'm afraid we don't have the advantage..."

Cheng Tong sighed.

Elder Yuan Xin stood aside and said: "Li Ying is more prepared than you. Some cities seem to be still under the control of the imperial court, but in fact, they have been secretly arranged by him."

Cheng Tong was silent.

for a long time……

"Elder, I have an eccentric idea..."

Within Lin City, Zhou Ming was also looking at the map.

The Dalong River is mighty, and in the middle of its flow, there is a mountain that has been cut off by the Dalong River over the years.

On both sides of the river are cliffs, and between the opposite sides, it looks like a gate to heaven.

Therefore, this mountain is called Tianmen Mountain.

At the foot of Tianmen Mountain, where the terrain is gentle and the water flow is gentle, a city was erected.

Because it is located in the middle of the Dalong River, it is called the City in the River.

Jiangzhong City is the last city in the north of Jiangzhou. From then on, the city crossed the Dalong River and further north was Lizhou.

Qizhou, where the imperial capital of Qi State is located, is just behind Lizhou.

Being in such a critical position, Jiangzhong City is naturally not a small city. Although it is not as good as Jiangzhou Prefecture, it can also be said to be the second largest city within Jiangzhou, second only to Jiangzhou Prefecture.

"There are two first-grade warriors, more than ten second-grade warriors, numerous gangs and families in the city, and there are three thousand troops stationed in the city... This Jiangzhong City is really a tough nut to crack!"

Zhou Ming couldn't help but frown.

If you give yourself five thousand troops to attack such a big city, wouldn't that be too much to do?

Looking further north, crossing the Dalong River, the first city we encounter is Julong Pass.

A military town!

Known as the most powerful gate in the world!

Among them, there are many masters, and the number of troops exceeds 10,000.

Coupled with Dalongjiang and the terrain advantages of Tianmen Mountain...

In history, a defender once held back an army of 100,000 troops here for four months with the help of 5,000 troops!

"If Julongguan sends support to Jiangzhong City, the situation will be even worse."

Zhou Ming's eyes were slightly cold.

Attack Jiangzhong City?

I think you, Cheng Tong, are trying to embarrass me!

"Is he trying to find an excuse to attack me?"

"No, it won't happen. Now the great cause has just begun, and you have invested a lot in me before. It is impossible to kill the donkey so quickly. Bah, I am not a donkey!"

"General, the reinforcements sent by the king have arrived!"

The soldier's voice interrupted Zhou Ming's thinking.

"Reinforcements have arrived? Okay, I'll go take a look."

Zhou Ming got up and soon came to the city gate. Sure enough, he saw two thousand soldiers standing in order. The leader was a young general in black armor.

In addition, there are more than ten worshipers, two of whom are in the front and are the main ones.

One person is Dajiang's gang leader Zhang Dajiang.

The other person, with an expressionless face, was a first-class expert from the White Lotus Sect.

When the black-armored young general saw Zhou Ming, he immediately ran over and saluted: "My subordinate Zhao Quan, come with two thousand soldiers to pay homage to the general!"

"Yes, Not Bad."

Zhou Ming nodded, then walked towards the dozen or so worshipers, clasping his fists and saying, "You worshippers, it's been a long journey."

"It's not hard work, it's all for the king."

Zhang Dajiang said quickly with a smile.

He knew very well that although the vanguard general in front of him was only at the fourth level, he had a very good relationship with Cheng Tong, so he naturally did not want to offend him.

"I haven't asked for your names yet."

"This is Zhang Dajiang."

"Hui Lin."

Everyone introduced them one by one. They all came from different forces and had complex ingredients.

"Okay, everyone, come with me into the city."

In the county government office, Hui Lin said: "General, before coming here, the king has another letter to entrust, which can only be read by the general alone."

He took out a letter and handed it to Zhou Ming.

Although the others were present, they turned their heads and looked away very consciously.

Zhou Ming then opened the letter and looked at it. After reading every line of text, he felt a little relieved.

In the letter, Cheng Tong explained the conditions for this competitive bet, which was brought up by Li Ying, the king of Dongzhou on the other side. Therefore, Cheng Tong had no choice but to let Zhou Ming attack Jiangzhong City.

Cheng Tong made it clear that he actually did not need Zhou Ming to capture Jiangzhong City. The most important thing was to hold Jiangzhong City back and prevent Jiangzhong City from sending troops to attack them.

Cheng Tong himself will lead most of the troops to deal with the southern part of Jiangzhou first, and then rush to Jiangzhong City by water.

At that point, take it down again.

"So that's it, I'm just using it as a cover-up..."

Zhou Ming naturally breathed a sigh of relief as there was no realistic goal that must be accomplished.

Putting away the letter, Zhou Ming looked at everyone and said, "Everyone, do you know anything about the situation in Jiangzhong City?"

Zhao Quan, a young black-armored general, stood up and said, "General, I know a little about Jiangzhong City."

"Well, tell me."

"There are three clans in Jiangzhong City. The first clan is the Li family, and there is a first-class strongman in the clan. He has been stationed in Jiangzhong City for a hundred years and has a deep foundation. The three gangs are the Langya Gang, the Longkou Gang, and the Shuijiao Gang... "

"In addition, there are also some forces outside Jiangzhong City that need attention, especially the Tianmen Sect on Tianmen Mountain. There is a first-grade warrior as the leader, and there are also several second-grade warriors in the sect..."

Zhou Ming pressed his eyebrows.

Outside Jiangzhong City, there is actually a martial arts sect with first-class warriors?

Nima!

He thought that when support arrived, he would be able to compete with Jiangzhong City with his own strength.

But now it seems that it is still a little bit worse.

"Do you think it is possible for Tianmen Sect to join forces with Jiangzhong City today?"

Zhou Ming asked.

Zhang Dajiang said: "Impossible! The relationship between Tianmen Sect and Jiangzhong City is very bad, and it is basically impossible to cooperate."

"Oh, does Zhang Gongfeng know?"

"I know a little bit about it." Zhang Dajiang said: "A hundred years ago, the Tianmen sect was just a second-rate small sect, with only three generations of inheritance. The son of the third generation leader was rebellious since he was a child, disobeying his father's discipline, and ran away from home to wander the world. As a result, this Let’s go, it’s twenty years!”

"For twenty years, everyone in the Tianmen Sect thought he was dead. Who would have thought that twenty years later, he would return to the Tianmen Sect and possess innate strength!"

"innate?!"

There was an exclamation in the audience.

Zhang Dajiang nodded: "Yes, the famous 'Tianmen Venerable' in the past is him! After returning, he became the fifth generation leader, and led the Tianmen Sect to rise and become a major force in the world!"

"However, decades later, Lord Tianmen died, but there was no second Xiantian in the Tianmen sect. For a time, people coveted him. Especially among the rumors, it was said that Lord Tianmen had left I wrote down notes and told the secret of my innate breakthrough, which attracted countless powerful people."

Zhou Ming's heart skipped a beat: "The secret of breaking through the innate?"

Zhang Dajiang smiled and said: "It's just a rumor. It has been fifty years since the death of Lord Tianmen, but the Tianmen Sect has not yet seen a second innate warrior. I guess the rumors are untrue."

He recalled some past events. He once believed this rumor and came to the Tianmen Sect to seek the secrets, but the result was naturally to no avail.

"What does that have to do with Jiangzhong City?"

Zhang Dajiang said: "The current city guard general in Jiangzhong City, 'Sun Tzu Bing', was a first-class man. Some believed this rumor and went to the Tianmen Sect to ask for it. Naturally, the Tianmen Sect said there was no such thing, but Sun Tzu Bing was still doubtful and wanted to enter the Tianmen Sect. He searched for it in the tomb, which angered the Tianmen sect, and the two sides became enemies."

"After that, Sun Tzu Bing did not give up. It is said that he even visited the tomb at night, but he was discovered on the way and failed."

"In addition, the Li family has also secretly made plans for the rumored secret."

"Therefore, the two major forces of Tianmen Sect and Jiangzhong City have a bad relationship. The general does not need to worry that they will cooperate with Jiangzhong City."

"I see..." Zhou Ming's eyes flickered and he said: "But in the current situation, we have a heavy responsibility and cannot make any mistakes. Just guessing is still inaccurate. Send people to pay more attention to this Tiansect!"

Everyone was puzzled. After talking to this extent, was it possible for the sect to cooperate with Jiang Zhongcheng that day?

But Zhou Ming was the general who commanded the army and held great power.

Although those worshipers have strong military force and good treatment, they cannot touch power.

After giving the order, everyone had no choice but to take orders.

"Yes! General!"
