116. Manipulation Space of City Lord Zhang
The Hu family's accident caused a little twist in Zhang Dongyun's original plan.
He originally calculated that when the Hu family and Dahe Longmen arrived, the number of practitioners in the city should be about the same.
Practitioners of the Hu family have at least three digits.
Now that there is a gap, what can be used to fill it?
The cultivation of first-level practitioners who have just stepped on the path of cultivation in the city has achieved good results, and there are already many people, but if you want to increase the speed of cultivation in a short period of time, good seedlings are not enough.
Try to relocate those who forget the truth?
The difficulty is not small...
Zhang Dongyun has received the news that Taoist Zhichen was ordered by Tang Wang to attack Dahe Longmen together, and he is now joining the masters of Eastern Tang.
In the absence of Daoist Zhichen, even if Chang'an put Elder Yunchen, Tang Chi and others back, there would be no eighth-level masters in charge, Wangzhenguan would be relocated, and if Dongtang noticed, they would be blocked and besieged.
It's better to bury this chess piece deeper.
As for the lack of practitioners for construction tasks...
Zhang Dongyun projected Mr. Wuyun and summoned Guo Zi, the head of the Hanshan School.
"People in the city, how is your homesickness?" Mr. Wu Yun asked.
Guo Zi hurriedly replied: "Most people expressed their willingness to stay in Chang'an, and they will call this place their home from then on."
After a pause, he continued: "However, there are also a small number of people who feel homesick and long to return to their homeland after hearing that the Tang army in Longbei County has withdrawn and has gradually been brought under His Majesty's rule."
For another person, Guo Zi might consider saying that everyone loves Chang'an and doesn't want to leave.
But in front of Mr. Wu Yun, he explained everything honestly.
"Longbei County can basically be regarded as a peripheral part of Chang'an right now."
Mr. Wu Yun said indifferently: "People have a feeling of being hard to leave their homeland, and this old man can understand it. As long as they remain loyal to Chang'an and His Majesty, it is all right to fulfill them."
"Your Majesty is magnanimous, sir is lenient." Guo Zi tentatively asked, "What does that mean, sir..."
"Those who are willing to return to their hometown can be arranged to return to their hometown." Mr. Wu Yun said: "After returning to the local area, they must be properly settled to avoid trouble."
Guo Zigong said: "I understand, I must arrange it properly."
He took this job with great pleasure.
It's not because those people can return to their hometown, but because they Hanshan faction can use this to step out of Qinzhou Prefecture and gain a foothold in other prefectures of Longbei County.
During the period when Longbei County was gradually under the control of Chang'an, the Chen family, Hanshan School, Perak School, and Tingshan Academy were all exerting their own influence on all parts of Longbei.
Now, the Hanshan faction can take the lead by using this errand.
Guo Zi was naturally happy.
However, he knew better that there was a prerequisite for all of this, that is, to take care of the errand that Mr. Wu Yun had entrusted.
Watching Guo Zi leave, Zhang Dongyun sighed.
Since the number of practitioners has increased and cannot be faster in a short period of time, then he should reduce the total population of Chang'an.
Anyway, what the construction task requires is not the specific number of practitioners, but a ratio of one percent.
This leaves room for manipulation.
Although it is not a last resort, Zhang Dongyun does not want to reduce the total population.
Because future construction tasks will definitely require a population higher than 300,000.
However, if the population is reduced for the time being, he will have a way to increase the population in the future.
This time, it is just right to adjust the population composition of Chang'an according to the trend.
Anyway, several expansions have caused some small flaws in the land allocation in the city, so we will deal with it now.
Zhang Dongyun came out of Daming Palace, went outside the city, stood in the air and looked into the distance.
The Hu family had an accident, and now I hope Dahe Longmen will go well...
As if feeling the ardent expectation of their own city lord, Chen Jiezhi, Xu Xingzhi and others traveled day and night, and finally found the members of Dahe Longmen.
At this time, they were being pursued by the army of the Eastern Tang Dynasty.
The top master of Longmen suffered heavy casualties.
When breaking through with sect master Li Jie, an elder from the seventh realm fell.
On the way to escape after meeting the disciples, another expert from the seventh realm died.
The remaining two elders, "Zhuolangjiao" Zhang Chong and "Dahe Taisui" Han Zhe, were also seriously injured.
And among those chasing them, there were many masters of the eighth realm, such as Li Yi, king of Muping County of Eastern Tang Dynasty.
Persisting until this point, everyone in Dahe Longmen has almost survived.
Relying on themselves alone, it is destined to be impossible to reach Chang'an City alive.
Yan Nianshi, the owner of the Mirror Moon Tower, was already one step ahead and led people to the front road of Longmen people to intercept them.
Just as they were waiting for Dahe Longmen to throw himself into the trap, suddenly an attack came from behind.
The high-ranking people in Chang'an City gestured like thunder. Although Dongtang had scouts, as soon as the alarm was issued, everyone in Chang'an had already rushed to the front of Tang's army camp.
They broke into the opponent's formation and killed the Tang army here.
The Tang army was well-trained, and quickly launched a counterattack under the leadership of the commander-in-chief.
Dong Tang was also wary of Chang'an's possible assistance to Dahe Longmen.
This army of thousands crossed the Dahe Longmen team and rushed to the front. On the one hand, they blocked the opponent's way, and on the other hand, they also wanted to prevent and block the reinforcements from Chang'an.
Therefore, despite the surprise attack, the Tang army still assembled quickly and even launched a countercharge against everyone in Chang'an.
Because they have a martial arts expert from the eighth realm here, and Yan, the owner of the Mirror Moon Tower, was in charge in the past.
Yan Xishi flew out the crescent scimitar, the blade was tens of meters wide, like a sickle mowing grass, and slashed towards Chang'an's troops.
Among them, the sharp edge is so fierce that Wanli, the dean of Tingshan Academy, who is at the seventh level of Confucianism, is vigilant and dare not directly attack him.
But Chen Jiezhi, who was also in the seventh realm, met Yan's saber light head-on.
His Dragon Slaying Fist is extremely fierce and domineering, and the strength of his punch is like a sharp blade cutting mountains and seas, criss-crossing with the moonlight.
When the two sides collided, Chen Jiezhi let out a muffled snort, and still suffered a little loss.
The strength of his dragon-slaying fist was broken by the opponent's sword light.
But with one punch, "Moonlight" was also shattered, leaving only a round of round crescent scimitar, still flying forward.
And beside Chen Jiezhi, Xu Xing stepped forward.
He just splashed ink and wrote a poem on the frontier fortress, which turned into a beacon-fire border city to prevent the enemy from invading.
The crescent scimitar slashed at the city wall, and the city wall was broken.
But the momentum of the scimitar was also exhausted, and it got stuck on the city wall and stopped moving.
Wanli took a look at Xu Xing.
He remembered that the other party was at the sixth level.
But now, he is already the seventh realm, a great Confucianist in the realm of knowledge.
Moreover, his strength is extraordinary, far surpassing his peers.
Wan Li looked carefully, only to feel that the other party was writing in black and white, and he seemed to be different, but for a while he couldn't figure out what was going on.
But there is no doubt about the mystery.
Otherwise, it would be impossible for Xu Xingzhi to join hands with Chen Jiezhi to block Yan Xishi from the eighth realm.
Yan Xishi and Tang Jun were also surprised.
Chen Jiezhi's cultivation has greatly improved, and Dongtang has intelligence.
But Xu Xingzhi's cultivation strength is so superb, which is beyond everyone's expectations.
Is Chang'an City really so wonderful?
Many people can't help but have this idea in their minds.
Yan Xi had no expression on his face, and with a gesture of his hand, he sensed his breath remotely, intending to withdraw his crescent scimitar.
However, Xu Xingzhi's pen produced flowers, and immediately manifested the endless desert.
There are thousands of miles of quicksand in the desert, hiding Yan's old weapon and preventing him from taking it back.
Chen Jiezhi heaved a sigh of relief, rushed forward again, and smashed Yan Xishi with the dragon-slaying fist.
Yan Xishi blocked the opponent's attack with the mirror light shield in his hand.
Then he put his five fingers together, his palms stood upright like a knife, and immediately counterattacked Chen Jiezhi with a move of Lengyue knife, which was as sharp as countless masters with swords in their hands.
But Yan was entangled by Chen Jiezhi and Xu Xingzhi in the past, and Wanli in the seventh realm on the other side had room to play, leading Shang Jie and others to defeat the Tang army.
The leading general was killed by Wanli splashing ink, and the Tang army finally lost its position and began to break up and flee.
Seeing this situation, Yan Xi had no choice but to retreat.
The people in Chang'an opened up the road, and soon everyone from Dahe Longmen came.
Seeing Shang Jie, Wen Hu, Chang'an reinforcements, Zhang Chong, Han Zhe and other Longmen fighters, they can finally breathe a sigh of relief.
However, Li Yi and others are already approaching.
Xu Xingzhi, Chen Jiezhi, Wan Li and others joined forces with Dahe Longmen warriors, fought and retreated together, and rushed to Chang'an.
And the Eastern Tang army pursued them closely.
Yan Xishi met Li Yi and the others and explained the situation.
Li Yi looked Yan Xishi up and down: "Li Jie has broken through to the ninth level, if we can't take him down, there is nothing we can do.
But the enemy is only at the seventh level, and Lord Yan's cultivation is at the eighth level, how could he be merciful and let them go? "
"Yan has little talent and learning, and he is indeed ashamed to lose to his opponent, but it is definitely not what His Highness said, and he is merciful."
Yan Xi's eyes searched the crowd: "The root cause is to ask the high pavilion master of Mingguang Pavilion. In Chang'an City, except for Chen Jiezhi of the Chen family who has improved in strength, Xu Xingzhi of Baima is not weaker than him."
"You don't need to look for Lord Yan, Pavilion Master Gao is not here."
Li Yi said indifferently: "In the process of chasing the Dahe Longmen rebels, Pavilion Master Gao was unfortunately knocked down by the rebels in Dahe. I can't find it anywhere, and I feel deeply regretful."
Yan Xi was slightly surprised when he heard the words.
"At the moment, chasing the rebels is the most important thing. After the fighting ceases, we will add more people. We must find Gao Pavilion Master."
Li Yiyan said: "The other person is no longer here, there are some mistakes and omissions in the information, please don't blame him for the landlord Yan."
After Yan Xishi glanced at Li Yi and Situ Jinsheng, the Patriarch of the Situ family, he nodded thoughtfully and remained silent.
"We will step up our pursuit of the rebels, and we must wipe them out!"
Li Yi raised his arms and shouted, the surrounding Tang army agreed in unison, and thousands of troops chased forward.
Walking on the road, Situ Jin quietly came to Li Yi's side: "I haven't seen Gao Yu's body yet, so don't be careless."
Li Yi nodded: "Uncle, don't worry, I understand."
He smiled at Taoist Zhichen, the master of Wangzhen Temple, and said, "Just now, thank you Taoist priest for taking action together."
Taoist Zhichen said indifferently: "Your Highness, there is no need to thank the poor Taoist. The poor Taoist has long hated this person to tell tales."
Li Yi smiled.
He doesn't care what the other party's purpose is.
As long as they fight together to kill Gao Yu, they will naturally be on the same boat.
"Murong, Pavilion Master Gao's whereabouts are unknown, we need to hurry up and search." He looked at Murong Ting next to him.
Murong Ting nodded: "Xiaguan will lead someone to look for it personally."
Li Yi nodded, and left the brigade quietly for convenience.
And he commanded the Tang army and continued to hunt down Dahe Longmen and others.
Wanli, Chen Jiezhi and others were also injured by Tang Jun.
However, they successfully helped everyone from Dahe Longmen to break through and enter Longbei County.
Then all the way through Tongzhou, arrived in Qinzhou.
Tang Jun followed closely behind and slowed down after entering Qinzhou Mansion.
Everyone in Dongtang began to hesitate.
