Chapter 173 Reward

Looking at the Zejun like a wolf and a tiger, Di Qiuhan felt a chill in his heart. Fortunately, he did not order the battle when he saw the defeated army, otherwise it would be hard to say that he would not fight with the Zejun.

After all, the disciples of Jueling Sect did not wear Zejun's clothes, and it was not Gu Du's instruction to set up an ambush. If they really rushed into the formation, it would be impossible for the killing of Zejun, who was red-eyed, would not treat them as enemies.

In less than an hour, all ten thousand reinforcements were culled. Gu Du ordered the battlefield to be cleaned up, retreated to Sunset Pass, and waited for the food and grass escort team of Lingguo.

Dongfang Xia Lan rode down the mountain to find Gu Du and told Gu Dujue to set up an ambush on both sides of the official road, but because he saw that Zejun was fighting fiercely, he did not dare to fight.

Gu Du said, "Let them go back to the village and talk about it after I settle down."

"No." Dongfang Xia Lan said, "Jueling Sect must also make contributions. Since reinforcements have come, there must be food and grass behind them. When you go back, let us Jueling Sect rob the food and grass and send it to the pass."

Gu Du smiled and said, "Okay, but you are not allowed to participate in the war."

Dongfang Xia Lan asked, "Why?"

Gu Du held her hand and said, "It's enough to have me. Do you have to make contributions by yourself?"

Dongfang Xia Lan pouted and said, "Okay, I'll go and say to Senior Brother Di."

One day later, Di Qiuhan led the people to rob the food and grass, but did not kill them like Zejun. After all, they didn't have to carry the heads to ask for rewards.

Gu Du released Zhao Dongcheng, gave him a horse, and gave him water and food for seven days, but Gu Du didn't even see him.

Zhao Dongcheng knew in his heart that he was asking him to go back and pass the message and tell the Linghuang the news about Sunset Pass.

The country of Ze...is not the same country of Ze used to be.

The night is quieter and the starry sky is brighter. The Spirit Emperor climbed onto the observatory and looked up at the starry sky.

This is the first time he has been on stage to watch the star in his life. He knows astrology, but he never believes in astrology. Because since his birth, the Ling Kingdom has been rich in things and rich in people and has a million armors!

But I never thought that just because of Gu Du, the universe changed color and the situation was reversed.

The Emperor Ling looked at the generals of Zeguo. This was not his fault. He did nothing wrong. This was due to God's will. Lingguo killed Zeguo for three hundred years, and it was time to repay it.

The next day, the court discussed, and the Emperor Ling said, "Sunset Pass was lost, 40,000 soldiers died, and food and grass were robbed. Gu Du led 100,000 Ze troops to occupy Sunset Pass. Now that the offensive and defense have been changed, what advice do you have?"

Shangguan Mingfeng, the head of the Military and Political Department, came out and said, "I heard from the emperor that although Gu Du led his army to break through the pass, he would never dare to go deeper alone. His move was just to open the passage to the southern border and would guard the pass and wait for assistance. The most urgent task at the moment is to recruit soldiers, allocate food and grass, increase troops to Linghe County in the northwest, and strangle the throat of the southward."

Emperor Ling was silent, and Chu Huaizhong, the head of the Wenzheng Department, came out and said, "I will report to the emperor, our dynasty should follow the example of Zeguo and reward farming and war to inspire morale."

The Spirit Emperor looked at Chu Qin and called out, "Chu Qin?"

Chu Qin responded and said, "Emperor, I agree with the words of the two great masters. The enemy has seized Sunset Pass and echoed the two cities of Lan and Xia, and there is sufficient food and grass. It is not advisable to fight for force at this time. We should immediately increase troops to Linghe County in the southeast of Lingyu County, build fortifications, and block its way to the south, waiting for the northeast to pacify."

"Then let's increase your troops. The Military and Political Department is in charge of this matter. The matter of farming and war will be formulated by the Cultural and Political Department in coordination with the Military and Political Department." After the Linghuang said that, he stood up and left, and the imperial officials shouted, "Retreat!"

The Ling Emperor knew in his heart that these three people were right and should not fight for force at this time, because no matter what, there was no proper tactic. If Zhenbei Pass sent troops to detour, he would be double-teamed by the enemy troops of Sunset Pass, Lan and Xia. If Sunset Pass is strongly attacked, he would need at least 300,000 troops.

Not to mention that there are no 300,000 troops at present, even if there are, you can't fight like this.

Back in the inner hall, the Spirit Emperor said to the eunuch Huang Zhen, "Go and call Yao Saifeng to me."

Huang Zhen answered, "Abide by the order."

Yao Saifeng is a man from the world, and his father is a gambling thug in the outer city. When Linghuang was twelve years old, he went out of the palace to play. He had an argument with Yao Saifeng, who was one year older than him in the gambling thug. The two started fighting and beat each other to the point of bruising and swollen face.

The palace guards who followed the Ling Emperor did not dare to care, because the Ling Emperor had a bad temper since he was a child. Unless he ordered, no one in-person would interfere with his affairs.

But Yao Saifeng's father saw the trouble, separated the two, and pretended to say that they would not fight or make a deal, so that they could shake hands and make peace and become brothers of different surnames.

Later, the two became nominal brothers. The Spirit Emperor gave the gambling file to Yao Saifeng's father, and Yao Saifeng was taken into the palace and fought with the Spirit Emperor for six years. He also practiced as a great soul master, and then released him out of the palace and became the hidden thread of the Spirit Emperor in the world.

Yao Saifeng looks feminine, but she is not good-looking. This is also the reason for the fight at the beginning. Linghuang joked that he was like a woman, but he looked ugly.

Yao Saifeng knelt down and bowed, saying, "The grass-roots kowtow to the emperor."

The Spirit Emperor said, "I have a word for myself in the world. Who can kill Gu Du, who is leading the army in Sunset Pass in Zeguo, reward ten thousand golds and grant ten thousand husbands to the Marquis of Ten Thousand Houses."

Yao Saifeng stood up and looked at the Spirit Emperor and asked, "Is such a high reward? Then the emperor thinks, can I do it?"

The Spirit Emperor said, "If you want money, I will give it to you, and I will also want you to save your life and do the job for me."

Yao Saifeng twisted slightly and said unhappily, "Emperor, he is a great soul master at least."

The Spirit Emperor said, "Gu Du is also a great soul master, and he commands an army of 100,000."

"Oh~" Yao Saifeng covered her heart and rolled her eyes twice, and said, "That's really hard to deal with, then okay, Caomin will just upload a speech for the emperor."

After a little settled down, Gu Du led his troops to Jingxian Village in Suxian Mountain. Gu Du had never moved Jingxian Village, just wanted to stay until this time.

Jingxianzhuang is a good place. Whether it is the location or the conditions, as long as some fortifications are added, it will be a solid camp.

In addition, before giving up the porridge, Gu Du told the salt merchant Yu Jinshui about the plan. When the victims began to enter the city, Yu Jinshui lobbled all the salt merchants and moved all their money into Jingxianzhuang.

Today, Jingxian Village is a treasure house that is rich enough to rival a country.

The salt merchants were not surprised or afraid of Gu Du's arrival. Although they stayed in Jingxianzhuang, they always sent people out to inquire about the news. They knew that the victims had destroyed Lingyu County, and they knew that Zeguo had captured Sunset Pass. They also knew that they had no way to escape, so they could only wait for Zeguo's commander to come to find them.

Many people suspected that they had fallen into Yu Jinshui's trap, but no one said that if it was really a trap set by Yu Jinshui, then Yu Jinshui was a detailed work of Zeguo. At this time, we should not offend Yu Jinshui. Instead, we should flatter us in order to save the lives of the whole family.
