Chapter 178: Surprise Attack

In the middle of the cold moon, Gu Du took Dongfang Xia Lan back to Mount Tanyuan.

Speaking of Bu Qianqiu, Dongfang Xinghao said: "I know his father Bu Shenglin. It's better to write a letter by hand. If you send someone to him, he may help you."

Gu Du said, "Thank you, my father-in-law, but my son-in-law thought that Mr. Bu would drive Bu Qianqiu out of the house, which is probably a deeper meaning."

Dongfang Xinghao asked, "What do you mean?"

Gu Du replied: "The main purpose of Jiaoyi Sect is to practice and always be at ease. With tens of thousands of disciples and family members, such a huge group, you must be very cautious when deciding things."

"Although I have a little advantage now, the foundation of Ling Kingdom for hundreds of years is as solid as a rock and cannot be broken easily. Bu Qianqiu is young and vigorous and full of blood. He respects me with the word "love and righteousness". However, Mr. Bu passed on loyalty and righteousness to his family, and trust and cultivates harmony. I used the plan to cut off food in Ling Kingdom. Although I had no choice, it would hurt the harmony of heaven. This is unkind and disgraceful to Mr. Bu."

"I believe that Mr. Bu gave in to Bu Qianqiu to join me alone. If I could destroy Ling Kingdom in my lifetime, Jiaoyi Gate would still be able to enjoy peace. If I lost to Ling Kingdom and retreated to the grassland, Bu Qianqiu could turn back. In this way, Jiaoyi Gate would not be punished by the court."

Dongfang Xinghao laughed silently and said, "It's reasonable."

Gu Du looked at Dongfang Xinghao and asked, "My father-in-law, the son-in-law hurts countless people, I don't know what the retribution is?"

Dongfang Xinghao replied: "A general succeeds and thousands of bones are broken, and all the plans are correct for attacking soldiers and plans. You don't need to worry too much."

After pausing, Dongfang Xinghao said again: "But before it is absolutely necessary, we should do more benevolent and righteous things."

Gu Duying said, "Yes, my son-in-law has written it down."

Dongfang Xinghao asked: "What are you going to do next?"

Gu Du replied: "Every step by step, cultivate national strength, gather troops to fight."

Dongfang Xinghao nodded and said, "I'm tired, you go by yourself."

Gu Du stood up and saluted, saying, "Son-in-law gave up."

After Mei Yuewu was at home, Gu Du and Dongfang Xia Lan were preparing to return. Before leaving, Dongfang Wen also carried a burden and said to Gu Du: "Mom, let me help you."

Gu Du said, "Thank you."

He glanced at it and asked, "Why don't you see the elder brother?"

Dongfang Wen replied with a smile: "Brother is angry. He originally said he wanted to help you, but my mother said he was reckless and with you, he didn't need to lead troops to fight, so he didn't let him go."

Gu Du smiled and went to the main room to say goodbye to Dongfang Xinghao and his wife, and then started to leave.

At this time, the riots in the northeast of Ling Kingdom had been put down. The army returned to the court and stationed outside the imperial city. The Emperor Ling came to the court and asked, "Now the riots in the northeast have been put down. Do you think you should fight?"

Soon, Gu Du received news that Lingguo raised 150,000 troops and came to Linghe County.

Gu Du ordered his deputy general Yang Zhong to defend the land and guard Lingyu County closely, and he must not fight. He also ordered Di Qiuhan to lead the disciples of Jueling Sect to Rizhaoguan, and he himself rode Mo Xuan to Xiacheng with Dongfang Xia Lan.

Gu Du's biggest heart disease is Rizhaoguan. He led his army to break through Sunset Pass. Lancheng was facing Zhenbei Pass, and only Rizhaoguan was beyond the reach. If Lingguo sent troops from Rizhaoguan out of the pass, and ran away from Xiacheng and attacked Zeguo Imperial City, he would have to return to his army to rush to help.

Because Lan and Xia cities cannot move their troops. As long as they move, Zhenbei Pass will send troops to seize the city. If Lan and Xia cities are lost, Sunset Pass will be in danger.

If Sunset Pass is not protected, it will be useless for him to occupy Lingyu County. Instead, he will be attacked from both sides. Therefore, Gu Du has always been thinking about Rizhao Pass, but he dared not move lightly.

There are tens of thousands of troops stationed in Lingguo, and Rizhaoguan cannot be as easy as Sunsetguan. If he leads his army to fight Rizhaoguan, it will not only waste his military strength, but also expose his strategic intentions, causing things that Linghuang might not have expected to happen.

So Gu Du was waiting like Linghuang, waiting for the Northeast riots to be put down, the army would form a team, and then he would come to fight Lingyu County, so that he could cooperate with Juelingmen inside and outside and quickly fight Rizhaoguan.

As early as the end of last year, Gu Du had already sent a letter to the Imperial City and added 50,000 troops to Xia City. Although there were 30,000 defenders in Rizhao Pass, it was common sense that to break the pass, at least 80,000 troops would be needed. However, Jueling Gate raided from behind and no reinforcements were added, and 50,000 troops were enough to break the pass.

If you get the Rizhao, you will become a double-team. You will be able to see every move of Lingguo, and you will have no worries about the Imperial City of Zeguo.

Before sending troops, Gu Du went on stage to worship the sky, knelt down and raised his wine glass and said loudly: "The heaven is above! My lord, the emperor of the lord, defeated the world with his own way, and helped the heavenly world with kindness, pray for the blessing of the heaven, and granted the courage of my soldiers, and let the sun shine down in one battle, so that the country and the country will be forever strengthened!"

Gu Du led his army to camp eighty miles away from Rizhaoguan, and then waited for a day to leave time for Di Qiuhan to arrange it. Then he led his army to march in the early morning of the next day until the army five miles in front of Rizhaoguan, burying the pot to make rice.

After receiving reports of an enemy attack, Tang Shuo, the Rizhao Gu commander, hurriedly climbed the city to watch. When he saw the word Gu written on the Central Army's commander's flag, he felt a chill. Isn't Gu Du in Lingyu County? Why did he run to Rizhao Guan?

In the past ten years, Tang Shuo's temples also had a few more white hairs. The scene of Chu Qin and the other two trapped in the battle to seize the commander appeared in front of him. When he recalled Gu Du's hungry wolf-like gaze, his body was covered in blood and looked like an evil ghost, Tang Shuo shuddered and comforted himself in his heart: It was impossible for Gu Du. The emperor raised an army of 150,000 to attack Lingyu County. Gu Du had to command the battle in Lingyu County, and it was impossible for him to run to Rizhaoguan. This must be another general named Gu.

An hour later, the Ze army lined up and slowly advanced. Under the gate of Chenbing, Gu Du shouted loudly: "General Tang Shuo! I am Gu Du! The Emperor of Ling is unrighteous, the Emperor of Ze is kind, and the Ze country is only in the heart of heaven. Quickly turn on and surrender to avoid slaughtering the soldiers!"

Tang Shuo's face turned pale and he gritted his teeth.

Gu Du said: "Takes."

The messenger waved the order flag, and ten trenchers pushed them to the front of the formation, loaded the turbulent tank, and ignited the fire. After more than ten rounds, Gu Duling said: "Siege the city!"

The war drums were beating, and the wind camp rushed towards the city wall. Gu Du ordered again: "Light the beacon smoke!"

Three waves of beacons rose one after another, and the disciples of Jueling Sect standing on the hillside blew the horn. Di Qiuhan and his fifty disciples slid down the ropes, cleared the obstacles, opened the city gate, and two thousand disciples of Jueling Sect rushed into Rizhaoguan.

This time, the disciples of Jueling Sect were all wearing Zejun's armor, on the one hand, for easy identification, and on the other hand, for hidden identity.

Jueling Sect is a surprise soldier. The military book says that if you know yourself and your enemy, you will never be defeated in a hundred battles. If the Ling Emperor doesn’t know the existence of this surprise soldier, he will be unable to budget for the battle situation.

In addition, all the disciples of Jueling Sect and the soldiers of the Jifeng Camp used cinnabar to dodge the cinnabar. This is what Dongfangwen said. The cinnabar is not jealous of ghosts and gods. Although the actual effect is not ideal, it does have a little effect. After being hit by the soul army, the time for the cinnabar to twitch on the forehead was greatly shortened.
