Among the four factions in the alliance, the "Dongting Gang" is the most powerful and has the largest number of people. Meng Qingshan's opinion is naturally the most important, so Gongyang Taicai asked him first.

Meng Qingshan did not hesitate and said: "Meng has already made a decision on this matter. Regardless of whether you three factions stay or not, I, the Dongting Gang, will not leave and will definitely fight to the death with the invading enemies in the city.

"

Gongyang Tai slightly nodded, most of the properties of the "Dongting Gang" were in Changsha City, so Mr. Meng's decision was also expected by Gongyang Tai. He turned to Hua Tianxiong and said: "I don't know Hua Tianxiong."

What do you think, brother?"

Hua Tianxiong did not hesitate and said in a deep voice: "I, the 'Evil Dog Clan', also decided to stay and fight."

Hua Bushi had already talked to his father and Mo Wentian before, stating that he wanted to stay in the city and fight against the two factions, but Hua Tianxiong had no objection. He had been in the underworld for many years and had always acted tyrannically. The only person he was afraid of was

The opponents are not demonic. Although Jianghu sects such as "Hengshan Sect" and "Paijiao" are strong, they are not worthy of fear in Hua Tianxiong's eyes.

It was precisely because the three of them had had a secret discussion that Mo Wentian taunted Qu Huze just now when he proposed to abandon the city and leave, making it difficult for him to step down.

Gong Yangtai frowned and said to the Shen brothers and sisters: "Listening to what nephew Xian Shen just said, the 'Monkey Shen family' also decided to stay, right?"

Shen Ying'er was still a little hesitant, but Shen Shan said: "Yes, we will stay and see what those two factions are capable of!"

Seeing that Shen Ying'er didn't object, Gongyang Tai knew that she had agreed to stay, so he said: "Since everyone is willing to stay and fight, I will sacrifice my life to accompany you, leading the disciples of the 'Iron Sword Sect' to fight with you."

Defend the enemy side by side and meet the masters of the two factions."

It is said that Taoist Gongyang has a conservative personality and has always been cautious in doing things. It is not easy to make this decision. The "Iron Sword Sect" has spent more than 100,000 taels of silver on purchasing real estate in the city and establishing a branch. It can be said that it is riding on its old capital.

, it would be really heartbreaking to retreat like this. If not, I am afraid that even if the three sects are willing to stay, Gong Yangtai will lead his disciples back to Wuyang City alone.

However, he had made up his mind to fight for a while first. If there was some chance of victory, it would be best. If the battle went unfavorably, it would not be too late to retreat.

At this point, the four sects have expressed their attitudes. Although Gong Yangtai and Shen Ying'er are still a little undecided in their hearts, they finally reached an agreement and decided to stay in the battle. The only thing left is how to fight this battle.

Gongyang Tai thought for a while and said to Hua Bushi: "Nephew Hua Xian, can you possibly find out the route taken by those two sects and the specific time they arrived in Changsha?"

Hua Bushi said: "My nephew also said just now that the two sects will arrive about three days later. The 'Hengshan sect' went north along the Xiangjiang River waterway, while the 'Paijiao' went south via the official road. As for the more specific

The route and time of travel can only be known by making additional inquiries along the way within three days."

Second Master Meng Qingshan said: "So, the arrival of the two factions in three days is just a rough estimate, right?"

Hua Bushi said: "Brother Meng is right. If the two groups suddenly change their itinerary, you and I can't predict it. The arrival time may change, but I think even if they speed up their actions and rush on their way as fast as possible,

It will take at least two days to arrive.”

Meng Qingshan said: "In that case, you and I will deploy manpower in the city within two days to stop them quietly, and then take action as appropriate when they arrive."

Gongyang Tai nodded and said: "What Mr. Meng said makes sense. The enemy's situation is unclear and the variables are too great. It is a good strategy to strengthen the defense and cope with all changes by remaining unchanged."

Hua Bushi said: "If there are only two factions attacking, we should set up defenses first, but we still have a big problem that has not yet been solved, so this defensive strategy is not appropriate."

Meng Qingshan said: "Brother Hua is talking about those charlatans in the city who are causing trouble everywhere?"

Hua Bushi said: "This is exactly what Hua Bushi meant. Most of these jianghu warriors are from the Wusheng sect who have come to make things difficult for us. Although their martial arts are not strong, they are large in number and are running around everywhere. They do not confront us head-on." .With their presence, it will be very difficult for us to set up defenses in the city, and the patrol team sent out will probably not be able to escape their surprise attack. If this matter cannot be resolved in the past two or three days, when the two sects of Hengshan Paijiao arrive, we will be there. Being attacked from outside is extremely passive."

Shen Ying'er turned her beautiful eyes and said, "Could it be that Brother Hua has a clever plan and can get rid of all these Jianghu people in two or three days?"

Hua Bushi said: "If Xiao Ke had a clever plan, he would have used it long ago. How could he have waited until today. However, regarding this matter, I have a suggestion, which may temporarily get rid of the entanglement of these Jianghu people, but you have to pay some price. , I wonder if you would like to hear it?"

Meng Qingshan said: "Brother Hua, please speak."

Hua Bushi pondered for a moment and then said: "Although these Jianghu forces were instigated by others, they are mostly here for the interests of Changsha City. We only need to withdraw all our troops outside the city and temporarily give the city to them." , they will definitely start fighting for their territory and property, and will have no time to trouble us again. When this battle is over, we can enter the city to take back everything and drive them out of the city."

"What a bullshit idea!" It was the eldest son of the Shen family, Shen Shan, who spoke, "If we give them all the territory in the city, then we might as well just go back to Wuyang City!"

Chen Shan has always been arrogant and domineering, and his words are also vulgar and unpleasant. Hua Bushi had already known this and didn't take it seriously. He said: "We are only giving up this city temporarily. We can also take out all the valuables in the city, leaving only Give them an empty shell, and it can be recovered in ten or eight days at most. Even if there is some loss, it will not be too big, and it is certainly different from returning to Wuyang City."

"How can Nephew Hua Xian be sure that after giving up this city, he can take back all the land and property in the city within ten or eight days?" It was Taoist Gongyang who asked the question.

Hua Bushi said: "Speaking of certainty, my nephew is indeed not sure, but there is no doubt that this move will be beneficial to us. Master Gongyang, please think carefully. If we are unable to defeat the two sects of Hengshan Paijiao, we should withdraw at this time. There is no harm in escaping at least more calmly than escaping after defeat. And if we defeat the enemy, our reputation will be greatly enhanced. How can these ants in the world dare to confront us again? By then we will fight back to the city. They will surely become birds and beasts and disperse, and it will be no problem for us to take back our property."

Nowadays, many Jianghu forces are coveting Changsha City. The most important reason is that the largest sects in the city have either been destroyed or suffered heavy losses, so their strength has been greatly reduced. Everyone thinks they can get benefits here. Just like There is a piece of fat meat without an owner placed in a conspicuous place, and everyone wants to pounce on it and take a bite. And if the "Dongting Gang" and the "Three Evils" win this battle, they will defeat the largest sect in Hunan, the "Hengshan Sect" in one fell swoop And the "Paijiao" who is famous for its ferocity, is enough to intimidate the heroes, just like a male lion standing next to the fat, those vicious wolves and wild dogs naturally dispersed, not daring to take a look again.

Gong Yangtai was very thoughtful about this truth, and he had already figured it out immediately.

Hua Bushi added: "Another advantage of this move is that it can push all the troubles in the city to the enemy. As long as the 'Hengshan' and 'Paibang' factions enter Changsha City, they will have to deal with the many Jianghu people. The attack is the same as ours now. If they want to fight again, they will be attacked from both sides. However, according to Hua Bushi's guess, the people in charge of the two factions are also shrewd people, and they will first station their troops outside the city to fight with them. We are facing a confrontation and will not easily enter the city. Even so, it will be convenient for us to keep track of their whereabouts, which is also quite beneficial."

Except for the two brothers Shen Shan and Shen Yue, everyone in the room was a man of outstanding resourcefulness. After hearing Hua Bushi's remarks, everyone was secretly thinking about the pros and cons. However, the "double hegemons of the Shen family" had no idea, although they wanted to I didn’t understand, but seeing that no one said anything, no one dared to interrupt randomly.

After a while, Shen Ying'er was the first to speak: "Brother Hua's plan is very clever. Our four sects can withdraw their troops from the city and gather them together to concentrate their strength. We are not afraid of enemy sneak attacks, but we can also seize the opportunity." Attack together, both offensive and defensive. As long as we can gain the upper hand in this battle, even some losses are worth it. On behalf of the Shen family, my little sister seconded Brother Hua’s opinion."

Gongyang Tai also nodded and said: "The niece of the Shen family is right, nephew Hua Xian's plan is very good, and the 'Iron Sword Sect' also agrees."

Taoist Gongyang and Shen Ying'er were somewhat hesitant about whether to fight or flee, so Hua Bushi proposed to withdraw the troops from the city, which was very conducive to preserving their strength, so they would not object. Hua Bushi also did not agree with this. We are quite confident that at this time, only the "Dongting Gang" is left among the four factions and has not expressed its stance.

Hua Bushi asked: "I wonder what second brother Meng thinks of my younger brother's proposal?"

Meng Qingshan frowned, shook his head and said: "Although what Brother Hua said is reasonable, our 'Dongting Gang' has a lot of property in the city, and many properties cannot be taken away for a while. If we abandon the city and evacuate, we will definitely It will fall into the hands of those Jianghu gangsters. The fifth brother has just passed away, and I want to cause such a big loss to the gang. It is really difficult for Meng to accept it."

When it comes to abandoning the city, the one that suffered the greatest losses among the four factions was definitely the "Dongting Gang". The "Three Evils" had just arrived in Changsha City not long ago. Although they seized the territory, they did not have time to purchase much property. Even the "Iron Sword Sect" who spends the most money just bought a property in the city, and the property cannot be moved, and it can be taken back when they return to the city in the future.
