Fortunately, Zhao Tuo had no problem with procrastination. After communicating with Ning Chen that day, he had already started preparing for a counterattack.
Ning Chen found him today, but he didn't want Ning Chen to wait for him for a few more days.
"How is the cooperation with the Huwei Army?" After confirming Zhao Tuo's expedition time, Ning Chen took the initiative to ask Zhao Tuo.
After all, it was Ning Chen who asked Zhao Tuo to select people from the Huwei Army that day, so Ning Chen still had to take the initiative to ask about the outcome.
When mentioning this, Zhao Tuo couldn't help but said easily: "The prince's prestige among the Huwei Army is indeed unmatched by anyone.
That day I talked about the matter with a few trustworthy Huwei soldiers and captains.
These captains, without saying a word, expressed their trust in the prince and their willingness to accompany me on the expedition.
Together with my own troops and these people, there are a total of 20,000 people.
These people are enough for me to turn the Western Region upside down."
"That's good." Ning Chen didn't show off, Zhao Tuo was different from Xu Muzhi after all.
In the next few days, Ning Chen stayed behind closed doors.
However, Ning Chen was not studying medical books, he was just showing off.
By the way, we are waiting for Zhao Tuo's action to begin.
Ning Chen from Qingyuan did not notify him.
Qingyuan still cares about the Western Regions. He cannot turn the Western Regions upside down like Zhao Tuo did.
The other thing about not notifying him is that we don’t want him to influence Zhao Tuo.
Zhao Tuo's team has been integrated, and with Zhao Tuo's order, 20,000 people were fully armed.
Wearing thick armor, he rushed out directly.
Zhao Tuo sat down with four successful subordinates, four peak fourth-grade warriors taking the lead.
A path was swept away directly, and then the people behind them filed out, relying on their thick armor and heavy weapons.
He broke a bloody path all his life.
Naturally, someone was injured in the process.
As long as they did not die on the spot, Zhao Tuo arranged for a team of his personal guards to rescue all the injured people, then quickly tied them up, controlled them, and threw them into wooden cages.
It's hard for Leiyin Temple not to know about such a big commotion on Zhao Tuo's side.
But they had no idea what Zhao Tuo was planning to do after making such a big fuss.
"Dazhi, why do you think Zhao Tuo did this?" Bodhisattva Dazhi asked Dazhi Bodhisattva.
Although the Great Wisdom Bodhisattva has demon-like wisdom, he has failed many times.
But it cannot be denied that he is still the wise person within Leiyin Temple.
However, after closing his eyes and calculating for a long time, the Bodhisattva Great Wisdom discovered that there was a thick fog on the other side of the road.
He simply couldn't deduce Zhao Tuo's purpose for doing this.
This is natural, Zhao Tuo was originally a general selected by Ning Chen.
How could the person favored by Wu Dynasty's fortune be easily deduced?
In addition, this time the plan involves the Holy Way.
This is something that Bodhisattva Great Wisdom cannot deduce.
"Zhao Tuo is enveloped by the fate of the Wu Dynasty and cannot see the way forward clearly." Bodhisattva Dazhi said truthfully.
The Great Fixed Bodhisattva nodded slightly: "If you put aside ability to deduce, what do you think Zhao Tuo's actions at this time are?"
Dazhi Bodhisattva thought for a moment again, and then said: "From what I can see from the outside, the most likely possibility is that the food in his city is almost exhausted.
He is probably bringing people out now to open up a channel for transporting grain."
Dazhi Bodhisattva still has a certain reason for making such an inference.
The barbarians knew about Ning Chen's curse.
They also knew that the barbarians' target this time was Zhao Tuo.
So when Ning Chen completely ignored Zhao Tuo, and Zhao Tuo was not prepared at all.
The food reserves in Moko City are indeed a huge hidden danger.
According to normal estimates, the food reserves in Moko City can only last for about two months.
But now we are in wartime, and the consumption in wartime is much greater than in normal times.
Based on this calculation, the reserves of about two months may be shortened to one month, or even shorter.
It has been eight or nine days now, if no more food comes in.
Hundreds of thousands of people in Moko City are about to starve.
Zhao Tuo must now open up the food road. If the food road is blocked, Moko City will be in danger.
After listening to the reasoning of the Great Wisdom Bodhisattva, the Great Concentration Bodhisattva nodded slightly: "If this is the case, do we need to do anything?"
Dazhi Bodhisattva pondered again for a moment, and then said: "Under the current circumstances, I don't think we need to do anything.
If Zhao Tuo can bring the corpse soldiers directly to Baijia City, that would be great for us.
Even if we don't bring the soldiers to Baijiacheng, spreading them throughout the Western Regions will not do us any harm."
The Great Immovable Bodhisattva pondered for a moment, and then said: "Then, according to what the Great Wisdom Bodhisattva said, we will stop with stillness."
The movements and feedback from Leiyin Temple were completely within Zhao Tuo's expectations.
Leiyin Temple's actions gave Zhao Tuo a chance to make a time difference.
Facing Zhao Tuo's thundering attack, many Buddhist countries in the Western Regions, who had already been attacked by corpse soldiers, were in panic.
Now I have no time to care about him.
Therefore, Zhao Tuo's army broke through the city gate very easily.
Facing the breached city gate, they did not dare to devote too much attention to Zhao Tuo. Preventing the corpse soldiers from entering the city was their first priority.
Fortunately, Zhao Tuo's main goal this time was not to capture the city.
Zhao Tuo's main target is the resources in their city.
After looting all the resources in the city like a whirlwind.
Zhao Tuo quickly left the city with his troops.
The city gate, which was finally repaired, was broken open again.
A large number of corpse soldiers entered the city.
Zhao Tuo doesn't care what this city will become next.
Anyway, it is not Zhao Tuo's task to educate these people.
With so many soldiers, it would be better to leave Qingyuan to clean up this mess.
Zhao Tuo believed that Ning Chen would pass on the medical knowledge to Qingyuan.
In one day, Zhao Tuo led his army and defeated three cities in a row.
Countless resources of all kinds were plundered.
During this process, Zhao Tuo only lost a few hundred people. Of course, the corpse soldiers collected almost a thousand people.
In the days that followed, Zhao Tuo continued to lead his team on expeditions east and west.
For every city, Zhao Tuo destroyed the city like a whirlwind, and then looted all the resources like a whirlwind.
After all the resources were looted, Zhao Tuo led his people to leave the city in a whirlwind.
Throughout the whole process, Zhao Tuo's goal was very clear and there was no fighting at all.
The cities that discovered that Zhao Tuo was not interested in fighting did not stop Zhao Tuo from leaving.
It's just a loss of some strategic resources. You can just mine them later.
If corpse soldiers were allowed to overrun the city, their city would be gone.
Zhao Tuo's three consecutive days of looting once again forced many Bodhisattvas in Leiyin Temple to gather together.
Bodhisattva Dazhi Bodhisattva asked Dazhi again: "Dazhi, what do you think is the reason for Zhao Tuo's behavior?"
To be honest, Dazhi couldn't understand Zhao Tuo's behavior now.
Normally, Zhao Tuo shouldn't fight randomly like this.
Under Zhao Tuo's current situation, the most critical thing is to open up the food channel first.
However, instead of opening up the food route, Zhao Tuo fought from left to right.
The key is that among the materials Zhao Tuo plundered, there was everything, but there was no food.
This kind of robbery really makes Dazhi Bodhisattva completely incomprehensible.
"Perhaps he feels that there is no hope of salvation for their team.
So he planned to make a desperate move, lead an elite force, and plunder all the surrounding resources.
Then bring these resources back to Wu Dynasty. As for everything in Moko City now, Zhao Tuo and Wu Dynasty plan to give up.
Only as many people in the city can escape at that time."
Before Dazhi Bodhisattva could speak, Daxing Bodhisattva expressed his opinion.
"This should be impossible. There are at least hundreds of thousands of people in Moko City.
If we give up everything like this, the Wu Dynasty will have no way to explain internally." Bodhisattva Dazhi felt that Bodhisattva Daxing's analysis was not very reliable.
Daxing Bodhisattva said: "That's why Zhao Tuocai is frantically dealing with these precious materials.
These precious materials are an explanation for everyone.
After all, human life is not more precious than these precious materials."
Dazhi Bodhisattva pondered for a while and said: "Even if Zhao Tuo can do such a thing, Ning Chen probably won't agree to Zhao Tuo doing this."
"There is a saying from the Wu Dynasty that is very good: the foreign king will not accept your order."
"Besides, Zhao Tuo is not Ning Chen's direct subordinate. Zhao Tuo takes orders from Prince Jing."
"Prince Jing is definitely not someone who will cherish these people, if Prince Jing directly gives orders to Zhao Tuo."
"Zhao Tuo must have listened to King Jing's order. And look at Zhao Tuo's marching route now. Although it doesn't seem to have any pattern, in fact it is indeed moving closer to King Jing's direction."
The words of Daxing Bodhisattva have been recognized by many Bodhisattvas besides Dazhi Bodhisattva.
Especially Zhao Tuo's marching route really seemed irregular.
But in fact, looking at it, he is indeed getting closer and closer to Jingzhou.
This is the best example.
Only Dazhi Bodhisattva feels that this matter should not be so simple.
With such an obvious loophole, Dazhi Bodhisattva didn't think that Zhao Tuo would let them stay.
Zhao Tuo has experienced hundreds of battles, how could he leave such a big flaw.
Then there is King Jing. Although Dazhi Bodhisattva has not had any direct encounters or contact with King Jing.
Dazhi Bodhisattva also believed that Prince Jing was an iron-blooded and ruthless prince.
However, Dazhi Bodhisattva did not believe that King Jing would directly pass over Ning Chen and issue orders to Zhao Tuo.
In the view of Dazhi Bodhisattva, this is completely impossible.
The reason is very simple.
Zhao Tuocai is the future star of the entire Wu Dynasty and the hope for the future of the entire Wu Dynasty.
There is absolutely no need, let alone possibility, for Prince Jing to break up with Ning Chen for such a small amount of resources.
If Prince Jing and Ning Chen break up, it will mean a big split within the Wu Dynasty.
This is definitely not a good thing for the Wu Dynasty.
In this way, it will be equivalent to helping the Western Region tide over the difficulties.
How could Prince Jing's strategic vision be so poor?
But now it seems that other Bodhisattvas are no longer willing to listen to their own judgment.
They seem more willing to trust their own judgment.
Therefore, the Great Wisdom Bodhisattva suppressed all the speculations in his mind.
Since it cannot be recognized by everyone, saying it is just adding some jokes.
Moreover, Dazhi Bodhisattva really does not dare to be 100% sure of his own judgment.
The current fortune of the Wu Dynasty is really great.
The future blocked by luck is beyond the reach of the Bodhisattva Great Wisdom.
Once touched, the Great Wisdom Bodhisattva himself may die on the spot.
It is not yet time for the Great Wisdom Bodhisattva to sacrifice himself.
Seeing the silence of Dazhi Bodhisattva, the other Bodhisattvas still did not ask Dazhi Bodhisattva to explain further.
In fact, Dazhi Bodhisattva's vision and guess are correct.
But this is what Zhao Tuo takes advantage of.
As for the internal situation of Leiyin Temple, Zhao Tuo dare not say that he has everything under control, but nine times out of ten, Zhao Tuo still has it.
All Zhao Tuo's current arrangements are based on the internal conditions of Leiyin Temple.
My own course of action and trajectory were deliberately designed to confuse these people.
For the next three days, no one came to disturb his robbery.
Zhao Tuo knew that all his designs and arrangements were successful.
You can continue to plunder the resources of the Western Region.
Of course, Zhao Tuo would not send these resources directly to Prince Jing.
Zhao Tuo will give these resources to Ning Chen.
These resources will then pass through Ning Chen's hands and be handed over to the Wu Dynasty.
The Wu Dynasty would then hand over these resources to King Jing and Marquis Dingguo.
Although there is such a tedious process, this process is very necessary.
The reason is very simple, Zhao Tuo must respect Ning Chen.
As soon as the time agreed with Yu Zhao Tuo came, Ning Chen immediately summoned Yun Xuanzi and asked Yun Xuanzi to protect him.
Yun Xuanzi had no idea beforehand that Ning Chen was going to open up a medical path, so he was a little confused now that he was being called here.
The reason why Ning Chen didn't tell Yun Xuanzi about this beforehand was because the barbarians intervened.
The barbarians knew that Yun Xuanzi existed beside them.
Therefore, there is no guarantee that they will not make a fuss about Yun Xuanzi.
If you tell them in advance and the barbarians find out, the result will become very complicated.
Whether it will go to the bad side or not, there is no way to determine.
Xu Muzhi came later. Ning Chen believes that the barbarians do not know Xu Muzhi's existence until now.
"The Taoist Master will wait for me to open up a medical path. The matters in this city will be left to the Taoist Master for the time being." Ning Chen said to Yun Xuanzi.
Although Yun Xuanzi was confused, he still nodded and agreed to Ning Chen's request.
