Grandma Crane changed her true body, like a golden rainbow swept south.

Grandma He is an immortal bird who has been practicing at the mountain gate of Daochan Temple for more than a thousand years. Its huge wings swelled up the wind and traveled back and forth to Yunmeng Ze very quickly. It may take three or five days to return from Yunmeng Ze tens of thousands of miles away. However, even though Grandma He has not yet verified the death of the great master, Gong Liang and Yan Yuan would not think that Ning Chan'er would lie on this matter.

Gong Liang always knew that his eldest brother Gong Qing was in poor health, otherwise he would not have stayed in Yunmengze forever and did not rush to Heyang to take charge of the overall situation. However, he did not expect that his eldest brother Gong Qing would leave in such a subtle situation.

He seemed to have a vertebrae removed, and sat in a daze on the chair, silent for a while, and his face seemed to have grown much older in an instant.

Yan Yuan also seemed to have a piece of his soul removed, sitting there without saying a word.

Gong Liang and Yan Yuan were two backbone figures of the Black Yan Army in Ganquan Mountain. After hearing the news of the death of the Great Heavenly Master Gong Qing, Chen Hai saw that they were all so deeply hit and so depressed. It is conceivable that if the news really spread, it would be a severe blow to the morale of the middle and lower-level generals and ordinary soldiers of the Black Yan Army.

"What should I do?" Yan Yuan took a long time to recover and asked Gong Liang.

Gong Liang and Yan Yuan felt the huge pressure that the Black Yan army was under at this time, but the lesson of the destruction of the Daochan Temple was too heavy. They finally occupied a territory of five or six thousand miles in Yanmen and Heyang. They did not hesitate to draw Yunmengze and the elite disciples who have spread across Yanzhou counties over the years. They just managed it a little, so how could they give up easily?

They also hope that the situation in Yanjing will change. Perhaps they can win one or two more brilliant victories on the battlefield west of Ganquan Mountain and south of Songpanling, so they decided to persevere in Heyang County. Who would have thought that the result of perseverance was that such a shocking change occurred first within the Red Eyebrow Sect.

Listening to Yan Yuan's example, Gong Liang subconsciously looked at Le Yi.

No matter how much they are unwilling to evacuate Heyang, preserve their strength, and distance themselves from Yanjing became their most urgent choice; they could not wait for the moment when the situation in Yanjing further changed.

The current question is, how can the main force of the Black Yan Army withdraw from Heyang without any damage? After withdrawing from Heyang, where should the main force of the Black Yan Army go?

Le Yi's initial plan was to give up Heyang County and shrink the front line to Yanmen County, where the terrain is complex, the mountains and rivers are crisscrossing, and there are dangerous mountains and rivers to guard.

When Le Yi made such a plan, Gong Qing, the great heavenly army had not passed away, and the cohesion within the Black Yan Army was not a problem. It could maintain strong morale and use the terrain in Yanmen County to entangle with the enemy soldiers. Le Yi also believed that under this situation, the Xiyuan Army and the Hu Ben Army would not be too aggressive, so that the Black Yan Army would have some respite in Yanmen County.

Once the news leaked from the Great Heavenly Master Gong Qing’s death, the impact will be multifaceted.

First, when the Black Yan army retreats north at this time, the morale and morale of the army will be hit by a double blow. It is really hard to say how strong the combat will be maintained when retreating to Yanmen County.

The second is the Xiyuan Army. The Hu Ben Army knew that after the death of the Great Heavenly Master Gong Qing, the offensive might not be so conservative. It is very likely that after the Heiyan Army retreated to Yanmen County, the main force of the Xiyuan Army and the Hu Ben Army would continue to pursue it.

After the death of the great heavenly master Gong Qing, will the powerful people of the eight tribes in Beijing who are hidden in the world become ready to move after they have not checked and balanced their existence?

In addition to the legendary Wei Boyang who is unknown to life and death, there are five powerful people on the Tianlist of the eight tribes in the capital at this time.

These five powerful men on the Heavenly List are usually hidden in the world, and do not hold specific positions in the court regardless of clan affairs. Although these five powerful men on the Heavenly List are also full of conflicts due to clan interests disputes and their different support for the Prince Yingdan and the Emperor Yitian, it is undeniable that they are the most firm cornerstone of Yanjing City at this time.

The powerful people on the Tianbang are extremely high, no matter within the clan or outside the court, and no force can withstand the losses of the powerful people on the Tianbang. Therefore, even if the other party has a chance of checks and balances, the powerful people on the Tianbang will usually not charge directly on the battlefield.

Therefore, Yanzhou has not seen a showdown between the powerful men on the Tianlist for many years.

However, it cannot be denied that the powerful and invincible combat power of the powerful man on the Tianbang was so powerful. So far, Chen Hai could still remember the scene of the Wuwei Divine Marquis Dong Liang splitting the iron-blocking mountain and opening the passage of the Yulong Mountain in the south. Such a strong man did not have enough checks and balances. If he encountered it on the battlefield, the blow he would suffer would be devastating.

Once the news of the death of the Great Heavenly Master Gong Qing is revealed, the Black Yan Army will no longer be able to check and balance the existence of these powerful people on the Heavenly List. Can they still wishfully think that these Heavenly List figures will continue to hide?

The Black Yan Army retreated to Yanmen County, which seemed to be a distance of five or six thousand miles from Yanjing, but such a long distance was not a matter of day and night for the people on the Tianlist. The main force of the Black Yan Army retreated to Yanmen County. I am afraid that no one of the senior generals of the Black Yan Army would dare to sleep peacefully. They had to think about whether their heads could be on their neck the next day.

If you don’t retreat north to Yanmen County, where can you go?

The Red Eyebrow Sect is located in another base in Yanzhou, in Yunmengze, 40,000 miles away.

Although Yunmengze is thousands of miles away, it is full of swamps and toxic miasma. It can be said that it is a barren wasteland mixed between Jingxiang and Nanxiang counties. In the early years, except for dozens of scattered barbarian villages, there was almost no one in sight.

It is precisely because of this that the Red Eyebrow Sect found some gaps in Yanzhou, where the clan forces were scattered, and took root in Yunmengze.

Even after decades of hard work, Yunmengze absorbed refugees from all over the world based on the original barbarian village, and it was difficult to reclaim wasteland and build a city. At this time, it only grew to a population of 2 million.

Even if the main force of the Black Yan Army can tear open the heavy siege and intercept it, and retreat to Yunmengze smoothly, Yunmengze will never be able to support more than 2 million people.

What's more, once the news of the death of the Great Heavenly Master Gong Qing came out, the clans of Jingxiang and Nanxiang were likely to take the lead and send troops to attack Yunmengze.

Almost seven or eight out of ten elite disciples trained by the Red Eyebrow Sect in recent years have been transferred from Yunmengze to the Heiyan Army. Although the Red Eyebrow Sect still has tens of thousands of soldiers in Yunmengze, it is difficult to resist the instigation and attack of the aristocratic tribes of Jingxiang and Nanxiang counties.

Gong Liang then summoned the army of the western foot, the army of the northern foot and the army of the southern foot to Zhongfeng to discuss the results. He still had to wait until Grandma He had verified the news from Yunmengze before notifying Songpanling.
