Cultivation starts with time management

Standing behind Qiu Changtian, Xu Yinglian frowned uncomfortably as he watched the returning team slumped.

"There are so many casualties, someone has to be responsible." She said coldly, "Let's see if the Guyuan Zhao family has the face to continue fighting with us."

How could you have no face to continue?Qiu Changtian thought to himself.

If the surprise attack is successful, the Guyuan Zhao family might consider reconciling with the Tiannan Xu family. After all, if the fight continues, it will be detrimental to the entire Kunlun, and they can take advantage of it in time.

But now the surprise attack has encountered a major setback, and even the Zhao family camp itself has lost a lot of power. If they do not continue to fight against the Tiannan Xu family, the accountability and reflection from within the family will be problems that the upper echelons of the family cannot handle at all. .

If the Zhao family in Guyuan was dictatorial by the patriarch, they could still make a 180-degree turn and forcibly suppress the impetuous people.

However, according to Qiu Changtian's knowledge, the Zhao family's patriarch and several high-ranking elders should negotiate with each other (game) and make decisions together.

In this way, as long as they admit that they failed in the confrontation, then, as Junior Sister Xu said, someone has to be responsible for it... who will be responsible?After being responsible, do you want to apologize?In the future, will anyone still listen to what you say in the clan?

It's better to hold on to it and deny it!

As long as they continue to fight against the Tiannan Xu family, with such a powerful foreign enemy, the Zhao family members will naturally move forward with coercion, and the threat to the family's high-level ruling will be minimized.

Anyway, based on Qiu Changtian's gloomy thinking, he believed that the Guyuan Zhao family would definitely continue to fight, which was in line with the collective interests of the high-level clan.

When he came to the main hall, Qiu Changtian, as the coach, cleared his throat and said:

"Regarding the failure of this surprise attack, as the war coordinator, I bear an inescapable responsibility..."

Of course, this is just a cliché, everyone knows that the Guyuan Zhao family is determined to carry out Zhao Jinghong's surprise attack plan despite Qiu Changtian's dissuasion and opposition.

Although Qiu Changtian said this now, although Zhao Jinghong was given a step down, the damage to his prestige was even more serious.

Zhao Jinghong didn't speak, but nodded indifferently.

nod?What's the meaning?

Before Qiu Changtian could react, Elder Yuanshou of the Zhao family suddenly said:

"The reason why this surprise attack plan failed was not due to Master Chang Geng's dereliction of duty, but because someone in the faction leaked the secret."

After finishing speaking, two Jindan Daoist came out, pressed a certain monk and came in front of the crowd.

"This person is a dark son planted by Yin Guidao." Elder Yuanshou said coldly, "After interrogation, this person confessed to his crime. We confirmed that the reason why the surprise attack plan failed was because this person told Yin Guidao Due to leaks."

Autumn Changtian: ? ? ?

Tactics for the dead?In front of so many elders, play me for a fool, right?

Who on earth leaked the secret, how can I still not know? ! !

"Dare to ask Elder Yuanshou." Qiu Changtian asked aloud, "When the decision was made in the hall that day, this person was not in the main hall, right?"

"That's right." Elder Yuanshou replied, "But this person is one of the members of the surprise attack going to Beiman Mountain."

"This matter is my fault." Zhao Jinghong also said indifferently, "On the eve of the surprise attack, in order to make everyone properly prepared, I told everyone the specifics."

"After this person returned, he sent a message with a flying sword to urgently warn Yin Guidao, which led to the failure of the plan. I failed to notice that the traitor had mixed into the surprise attack team. I should bear the responsibility..."

"Reverend Yunhong doesn't need to blame himself." Immediately, an elder came out to persuade him, "It is inevitable to avoid the traitor."

"Even in the past, there were traitors that caused the sect to suffer heavy losses, and the person in charge was never held accountable."

The elders of the Zhao family faction spoke to each other, and quickly put all the blame on the traitor, as if without the traitor, Zhao Jinghong's surprise attack plan would have been successful.

Qiu Changtian pondered for a moment, then looked at the teacher Ziwei behind him.

Teacher Ziwei shook her head imperceptibly.

Yes, everyone knew that the mole was just taking the place of the dead ghost, but it was pointless to forcibly break up the matter with the Zhao family in Guyuan.

After all, Zhao Jinghong wanted to compete for the next head teacher, and the Zhao family in Guyuan couldn't let him lose their prestige.If they forcibly launch an attack on this matter, both sides will inevitably die, but Kunlun will have to fight in the future, and the overall situation must not be delayed.

It's better to accept it as soon as it's good. Anyway, although it's obvious that the traitor is used to fool the past, which of the high-level people present is not an experienced person?

Then Zhao Jinghong proposed any plan, no matter how feasible it was, everyone had to weigh it carefully.

"Chang Geng." Headmaster Ziwei said, "Let's leave the insider affairs to the Discipline Hall."

"The situation in the Guanzhong area, you can talk about the situation."

"Yes." Qiu Changtian began to report to the elders the recovery plan of the resource points he was in charge of.

As of yesterday, one-half of the mines have been recovered, and another one-third of the resource points are still at war with the Demon Cult, vying for the corresponding control.

This kind of progress is really not slow, even the elders of the Zhao family's camp can't open their eyes and talk nonsense, picking out some bones from the eggs.

"That's great." Elder Jiu Ce said aloud, "But there is still one problem."

"Many monks in the Zongmen are now fighting against the Demon Cult on the front line in Guanzhong. If the other party sends troops from Tiecheng Mountain to cut off the connection between Kunlun and the front line, and then use their elite forces to eat up our arrangement in Guanzhong, the Zongmen will suffer heavy losses."

"Chang Geng, do you have any solution?"

What can be the solution to this... Qiu Changtian slandered in his heart, but calmly said:

"It is only reasonable to attack Tiecheng Mountain first and prevent the enemy from sending troops."

"In this way, it will be a two-front battle." Elder Jiu Ce pondered.

"Is it too expensive to fight on two fronts?" Elder Yuanshou asked with a half-smile.

It's still the same reason: the per capita training cost of Kunlun monks is too high, several times that of Demon Cult monks.Before reaching a high level, it is extremely uneconomical to go head-to-head with a demon cultivator.

Coupled with the failure of Daoist Yunhong's surprise attack plan, the elders of the main combat faction also fell silent at this time, but Qiu Changtian said that he would expand the scale of the war, which is really unacceptable.

"This matter must be done." Qiu Changtian replied, "Proactively attack, no matter what the battle situation is, at least the enemy can be confined within Tiecheng Mountain."

"If you let it go, it will be difficult to drive them back after Tiecheng Mountain sends troops to capture Long Mountain and isolate things."

"What if we set up an ambush in Longshan?" Zhao Jinghong said suddenly, "Since we already know that the Demon Church sent troops from Tiecheng Mountain to cut off the connection in Guanzhong, how about we wait for them to come over in Longshan?"

Qiu Changtian glanced at him speechlessly.

After being ambushed, he immediately wanted to ambush and take revenge. This real Yunhong held grudges very much.It's just this trick...

"This plan is very good!" Elder Yuanshou clapped his palms and laughed loudly. He was the first to help him gain momentum, and echoed loudly, "If you take the initiative to attack Tiecheng Mountain, Shura Dao will use all of its strength to resist desperately. Deaths and injuries will inevitably be inevitable."

"But if you set up an ambush in Longshan, you can wait for work with ease. Not only is the risk smaller, but if you can severely damage the Demon Cult, you can immediately turn the situation around!"

Chapter 77 United Shushan!

As soon as Elder Yuanshou's words fell, some elders echoed.

But soon, the voices of approval diminished... because everyone suddenly realized that the number of people who agreed this time was much smaller.

To be more precise, all the elders of the Zhao family in Guyuan came to cheer, while those from the Luo family and the neutral camp were uncharacteristically silent.

Everyone's eyes were focused on Qiu Changtian, as if they were waiting to see how the real Chang Geng would make a sharp comment.

"Although this plan is good, there is something wrong with it." Qiu Changtian asked bluntly, "What if the ambush fails?"

Zhao Jinghong was stunned for a moment, then quickly asked:

"According to your strategy, what if the siege of Tiecheng Mountain fails?"

"What is failure?" Qiu Changtian smiled faintly, "Fan Temple's plan must be to achieve its goal."

"The purpose of the siege of Tiecheng Mountain is to prevent the army from going north and cut off our connection with Guanzhong. If it is to be considered a failure, it must be that we are vulnerable to Tiecheng Mountain and cannot prevent it from capturing Longshan."

"It's really come to such a point, I think what we need to worry about is not the safety of Guanzhong, but the survival of our sect itself."

The elders all nodded: If you really want to besiege Tiecheng Mountain, with the strength of Kunlun Taiqingzong, it is almost impossible to fail.

The only question is how far Tiechengshan needs to be forced.

If Shura Dao were to be uprooted, the losses on Kunlun's side would certainly be astonishing.

But if it is possible to "surround and not fight", and all the monks from the past can come back intact, that is undoubtedly the best choice.

Of course Zhao Jinghong also understood this, and continued:

"Surround but not fight, although the idea is good, but will the Demon Cult really act as you expected?"

"Realist Chang Geng, if the Demon Cult's army comes out from Tiecheng Mountain, if you intercept it, you will suffer heavy casualties. If you don't intercept it, you will sit back and watch the other party cut off the connection in the pass. What can you do?"

"Reverend Yunhong." Qiu Changtian said indifferently, "If you really encounter such a dangerous situation, if you don't intercept it, the other party will bring a large army to Kunlun, how about it?"

Zhao Jinghong was speechless.

"If the Demon Sect is really as you said, it wants to burn everything together." Qiu Changtian continued calmly, "Then Kunlun has no choice but to fight."

"Well said!" Headmaster Ziwei suddenly praised loudly, "Kunlun Taiqingzong just cherishes the lives of monks and is unwilling to start a war lightly, but it's not that he doesn't want to fight or dare not fight!"

As soon as these words came out, it was undoubtedly aimed at some of the previous elders who accused Qiu Changtian of being "indecisive" and "not being kind to soldiers", so that Elder Jiu Ce sighed and said:

"What Chang Geng said is true. If the Demon Cult wants to send troops from Tiecheng Mountain, there will be a battle sooner or later."

"Instead of passively waiting for them to make moves, it is better for us to besiege Tiecheng Mountain first and take the initiative in our own hands."

Elder Yuanshou next to him didn't expect him to speak out for Qiu Changtian at all, and his expression changed immediately.

Oops, the Luo family is going to switch to the opposite camp!

Following Elder Jiu Ce's speech in the lead, monks from the Luo family's camp also echoed one after another, and the momentum of supporting Qiu Changtian surged for a while.

Senior sister Luo Baiyuan was also in the mix.When the Luo family supported Zhao Jinghong earlier, and asked her to help question Qiu Changtian, she held back and remained silent.

At this time, the Luo family turned to support Qiu Changtian, and she enthusiastically supported her, but unfortunately her mouth was too stupid to think of any good words, so she could only "Yes yes yes", "Yes yes yes", "That's right". cycle.

The opinions in the main hall of Kunlun soon became one-sided, and they all supported Qiu Changtian's two-line strategy of dispatching troops, maintaining Guanzhong's defense while coercing Tiecheng Mountain.

Headmaster Ziwei is calm and complacent, but she is extremely complacent, thinking to herself that even if your Luo family wants to join forces with the Zhao family, you have to see if Zhao Jinghong has the ability to fight Qiu Changtian!

There is a huge difference between the two sides in terms of intelligence and resourcefulness. You chose to listen to Zhao Jinghong's opinion. How many people died in Beimang Mountain?

It is not too late to abandon the dark and turn to the bright!Hahahahahaha...

Qiu Changtian didn't know that Master was laughing wildly in his heart, so he just said respectfully:

"There is no dispute, please make a decision."

"Yeah." Ziwei said leisurely, "Yunhong, you don't support sending troops to Tiecheng Mountain, do you?"

Zhao Jinghong immediately cursed inwardly.

He just proposed a plan to set up an ambush in Longshan in order to restore his prestige. Since Qiu Changtian didn't approve of this strategy, he casually argued with the other party, picking a few minor problems, essentially to save face.

Now that everyone supports this strategy, how could he, Daoist Yunhong, go against everyone and openly stand against so many elders?

Besides, with Zhao Jinghong's eyesight, it is natural to see that the move to force Tiecheng Mountain is not so subtle, but there is definitely no problem as a countermeasure.

The risk of fighting on two fronts is indeed great, but the Demon Cult has taken the lead in adopting two-front fighting. Unless Kunlun abandons Guanzhong and retracts all his fingers into one fist, he will definitely have to divide his troops in the same way.

Thinking quickly in the sea of ​​consciousness, Zhao Jinghong suddenly had an idea, and said in the same respectful voice:

"Yunhong has no objection, but has some ideas."

"Since we are going to send troops to Tiecheng Mountain, why can't we propose to Shu Mountain to jointly besiege Shura Dao?"

When the elders heard the words suddenly, their eyes lit up.

Everyone has already discussed that if Shu Mountain threatens the flanks, Shura Road will not be able to go north.

However, Shushan has been secretly competing with Kunlun. The last time he was besieged by the Demon Sect for a long time, he never asked for help. Now that Kunlun is asking for help from Shushan, it will be regarded by the world as a sign of Kunlun's decline.

What Zhao Jinghong said undoubtedly provided another perspective:

Now Kunlun is not besieged by the Demon Sect, but has taken the initiative to teach Shura Dao a lesson. In this case, inviting Shushan over is not a request for help, but cooperation.

However, this strategy looks good, but will there be some loopholes in it that we didn't expect?

It's not that everyone doesn't trust you, Master Yunhong, it's just that you were really frightened last time. A simple surprise attack killed [-] out of [-] people, and they were all elite... Whose younger generation also supported Can't help but lose so much!

Seeing the silence of the crowd, Zhao Jinghong thought of the key point, his throat was so angry that he almost vomited a mouthful of blood.

Co-authoring because of a mistake, no one will believe me now, right?

"Good plan!" In the silence, Qiu Changtian was the first to applaud, turned his head and said to Master Ziwei, "Master, I think this plan is feasible."

"Since it's a joint attack on Shura Dao, if Shushan Shangqing faction takes into account our relationship with Kunlun, not only will they have to dispatch enough sword immortals, but they will also have to deal a heavy blow to Shura Dao!"

Teacher Ziwei immediately understood the deep meaning of his words: Don't you want to compare Shushan with my Kunlun?

Who killed more Devil Cult thieves, how about it?

"Yes." He nodded.

Looking at Zhao Jinghong again, this real Yunhong just stared blankly at Qiu Changtian, and gradually became silent.
