On the night that Chao Tian and Chao Lei submitted to West Qi, Chao Lei led his trusted subordinates and rode to the east. He was ordered by Yang Jian to go back to Zhaoge City to fetch the two brothers' families.
Chao Lei rode his horse back to Zhaoge City. Dozens of trusted aides entered the city in disguise. Chao Lei went straight to the Manor of the Grand Tutor and came before the Grand Tutor Wen, looking tired and wounded.
His injuries were real. He had been traveling day and night, so he was naturally tired.
Grand Tutor Wen frowned and asked, "Why aren't you in West Qi? Why are you here?"
"Grand Preceptor!" When Chao Lei heard this, tears streamed down his cheeks. He knelt in front of Grand Preceptor Wen and said that before he came out, his brother Chao Tian had a disagreement with Zhang Guifang, the commander-in-chief of the Green Dragon Keep, so Zhang Guifang refused to allocate them provisions. As a result, the morale of the army was slack and they were struggling to hold on outside Xiqi City.
Grand Preceptor Wen did not suspect anything and immediately had Chao Lei take the talisman seal. Along the way, he mobilized three thousand troops and a thousand carriages of rations and fodder and quickly headed west.
Chao Lei rushed out of Zhaoge City without a moment's rest, while dozens of his trusted subordinates escorted his family members out of the city in the dark of the night and headed west secretly.
Half a month later, Chao Lei held the Talisman of Grand Tutor Wen and escorted the provisions out of the Jiepai Pass. The general guarding the Jiepai Pass was suspicious and asked why the tens of thousands of troops heading west were still being transported.
After Grand Tutor Wen received the order, his face turned pale. He immediately roared and smashed the desk in front of him, scaring all the generals in the hall into trembling.
"West Qi is rebelling!"
"Report — Zhang Guifang of Azure Dragon Pass has sent someone to inform us that Chao Tian and Chao Lei were captured by the Zhou army a few days ago. The army was routed, and we received this news from the remnants of the army!"
The report was made 'a few days ago'. Counting the journey from the Green Dragon Pass to Zhaoge City, it would have taken him eight or nine days to travel if not for the flying order.
"Bastard Chao Lei! How dare you deceive me! "
Grand Tutor Wen was furious. "Since West Qi has rebelled, I'll go report to the king and send an army to the west!"
Someone said, "Grand Preceptor, Xiqi isn't like the East and South. In recent years, we've been conquering the East and West. If we ignore him, the Azure Dragon Pass, Boundary Tablet Pass, and many other impregnable passes are enough to stop him. However, if we were to send troops to suppress them, we would need a million soldiers. "
Grand Tutor Wen pondered for a while.
Another general said, "Zhaoge City needs to be guarded by a large number of soldiers. Now that there are soldiers everywhere, and we have to send reinforcements to two places, where can we find such a large army in such a short time?"
Right after he finished speaking, he suddenly heard a young general report loudly from outside the door.
"Reporting to the Grand Preceptor! Wandering Soul Pass' Dou Rong has repeatedly defeated Marquis Dong Bo, and Marquis Dong Bo has already retreated! "
Wen Zhong was instantly overjoyed. Before he could say anything, he heard a report from outside the door.
"Reporting to the Grand Preceptor! The daughter of Deng Jiugong of the Three Mountains Pass, Deng Yuchan, defeated the Marquis of Nan Bo. The Marquis of Nan Bo has already retreated to the south! "
"Good!" Wen Zhong was overjoyed. He stood up and clapped his hands as he laughed. "The heavens are helping me! That brat Ji Fa really deserved to die! Guards! Who do you think should be the commander-in-chief of the expedition? "
All the generals and strategists in the hall were delighted. Originally, they couldn't deal with Xiqi because of the east and south sides. But now, the situation was completely different with the two messages.
"If we want to destroy Xiqi, Zhang Guifang will not let us be the commander of Azure Dragon Pass." Ji Li immediately recommended. He was a disciple of Grand Tutor Wen and could be considered the fourth generation of Jie School.
Although Ji Li was a cultivator, he did not have the mood to cultivate in the mountains. He had followed Wen Zhong for many years and had seen through the abilities of the generals of the Shang Dynasty.
Zhang Guifang cultivated mystical abilities and was good at the art of war. When he fought with him, he would shout the other party's name and say that he would dismount. The enemy general would fall off his horse. It was quite magical.
"In that case." Grand Tutor Wen pondered for a while and nodded. He ordered the generals to allocate rations and troops and went to the palace to report.
With Wen Zhong, Di Xin could really be unbridled and ignore the matters of the court.
When Wen Zhong said that he wanted to send people to attack Xiqi, Di Xin gave the tiger token to Wen Zhong and said that the troops in the world would be mobilized by the Grand Tutor.
The Nine-Tailed Fox was afraid of Wen Zhong. How could she dare to say anything bad about him?
After Wen Zhong returned to the court, Fei and You were even more terrified. If not for the fact that Wen Zhong could not spare the time to deal with the two of them, they would have lost their lives long ago. How could they dare to say bad things about Wen Zhong?
At that moment, Wen Zhong took the tiger token and left the palace.
He turned around and saw the countless vengeful souls in the palace with the vertical eye on his forehead. He could only sigh when he saw the demonic aura that surged into the sky.
"If the late king had not entrusted me to you … Ah."
Wen Zhong flicked his sleeve and rode on the black Qilin. He strolled on the street. The people stopped and bowed when they saw him.
However, Wen Zhong had ordered the Shang army to move west. It had taken them a few months to gather.
A few months later, thunder rumbled in the Azure Dragon Pass. Zhang Guifang leaped out of his horse and the generals returned to the army. A million troops set off together.
Along the way, gongs and drums sounded continuously. When they set up camp, they had to stretch for 50 kilometers. It was impressive.
When the news reached Xiqi, the people of Xiqi immediately panicked. King Wu summoned the officials to discuss overnight. Yang Jian also sent his incarnation over.
"They're finally here."
In the backyard of the Yang Residence, Yang Jian lay on the couch. His palm touched the most precious white jade in the world, but his gaze was deep.
Although the Shang Dynasty's general, Zhang Guifang, was not a member of the two sects, he should be considered a cultivator of the Dao Sect. He was only serving the Shang Dynasty.
The Tribulation Cloud had appeared in the South Continent a long time ago. There were many strange people in the Primordial World who had schemed against this calamity, such as Zhang Guifang and the four generals of the Mo Family.
Ao Xinke said gently in his arms, "Is there anything bothering you, husband?"
The two of them did not wear any clothes. They were only covered with a thin layer of gauze, but no one could see such an intoxicating scene.
"I don't have anything bothering me, but I have a lot of sad things."
"Oh? What's wrong? "Ao Xinke smiled and said," Did you fall for a girl and get scolded by her for being rash? "
Yang Jian smiled awkwardly. "It's about the God Conferment. Originally, I didn't have to think so much. I just wanted to be a small general and get through this calamity. I never thought that I would have to take things step by step and consider everything thoroughly. In the end, there might not be any benefits. "
Ao Xinke smiled and did not say anything. She left a kiss on his cheek and said, "Husband, you've already taken advantage of me, but you don't know it."
"Why?"
"There's no need to talk about reputation, luck, and opportunities," Ao Xinke said. "Husband, you are in charge of the God Conferment. There are many things that you can weigh. Why don't you take the opportunity to spread some kindness? In the future, more people will take care of you."
Yang Jian nodded. It was not a bad idea to use the matter of the God Conferment to send a favor.
He suddenly thought of something and said, "Xinke, go to the East Ocean another day and ask my brother-in-law if he needs to get a few disciples of the Dragons to ascend to the heavens. Anyway, we should not let outsiders have goodies."
"Husband, you can't do that," Ao Xinke said seriously. "Although you are in charge of the God Conferment, you have to follow the Heavenly Dao. The Heavenly Dao has already been decided. If you calm down and sense it, there will be guidance. You can't casually change the name on the God roll."
Yang Jian smiled helplessly. He could only let the matter go.
The Heavenly Fate could not be changed?
That might be the case for Jiang Shang, but if it were him …
Yang Jian shook his head and smiled. He changed the topic to the private conversation between husband and wife and shook the bed again.
More than a month later, Zhang Guifang's army arrived at the foot of Xi Qi City. They lined up like eagles spreading their wings, wanting to swallow the entire Xi Qi City.
Hundreds of thousands of troops surged out of the Zhou Army's barracks. Yang Jian stood on a high platform and looked at the group of Shang generals in the enemy army. He was slightly surprised by a tall and thin man with a cold expression.
Golden Immortal cultivation? It doesn't look like it …
Not long after, the drums sounded. The Shang army slowly pressed forward. Zhang Guifang led the generals forward to challenge them.
Yang Jian moved a chair and sat leisurely on the platform. The Zhou generals, who were originally worried, heaved a sigh of relief when they saw this.
Zhang Guifang saw a white-robed figure sitting on the enemy's platform and asked, "Who is this?"
"Commander, this is the Prime Minister of Xi Qi. He is known as an immortal. His name is Yang Jian. At this moment, he is on the platform. We should be careful and not be injured by his Dao techniques. "
"Yang Jian?" Zhang Guifang frowned and pondered. Then, she sneered, "The blood of a million soldiers is soaring into the sky. What's the use of Dao techniques? Beat the drums left and right! Wait for me to challenge them! "
As the drums rumbled, Zhang Guifang's voice boomed like thunder.
"Huang Feihu, come out and die!"
Huang Feihu was about to rush out when he was stopped by his brothers.
Nangong Shi took the opportunity to jump out and shouted, "I'll go and make another contribution!"
Zhang Guifang saw a general running over from a thousand feet away. Feng Lin, the general under Zhang Guifang's tent, immediately faced him and fought fiercely.
Huang Feihu really could not hold it in and rode his ox forward. When Zhang Guifang saw Huang Feihu's figure, she immediately used her Dao technique and rushed forward, charging straight at the foot of the Zhou army.
"Don't be so arrogant!" Huang Feihu could not hold it in anymore. He rode his divine ox and charged out of the formation.
The battle between the two generals was so intense that sand and stones flew everywhere. The soldiers were all shocked to see this.
In less than ten rounds, Zhang Guifang saw that she could not take down Huang Feihu with her martial arts skills. She was a little impatient and suddenly pointed at Huang Feihu and shouted, "Huang Feihu! Dismount and be captured! "
Huang Feihu staggered and fell off his horse. His eyes were filled with shock and his body could not move.
Zhang Guifang was about to grab Huang Feihu when Zhou Ji, one of the four generals of the Huang family, rushed out of the army and pressed forward with his spear. As the two of them were fighting closer to the Zhou army, the soldiers reacted quickly and carried Huang Feihu back to the formation.
Zhang Guifang used the same trick and captured Zhou Ji before returning to the formation.
On the other side, Feng Lin was fighting Nangong Shi. He pretended to be no match for him and left.
Nangong Shi immediately chased after Feng Lin, but after running for over ten feet, Feng Lin suddenly turned around and spat out a puff of black smoke. There was a pearl in the smoke, and Feng Lin directly knocked Nangong Shi out. Feng Lin also returned victorious.
"If we don't break Xi Qi today, when will we?!"
Zhang Guifang shouted. The Shang army's morale was boosted and they raised their troops to charge forward.
Although the Zhou army's morale was dampened, they were well-trained. The entire army roared and prepared to fight to the death.
Suddenly, Yang Jian's voice spread throughout Xi Qi City, suppressing the noise of the million-strong army.
There was only one word. "Lightning."
He held a feather fan in his hand and waved it in front of him. Blue and white lightning fell from the sky and forcefully used a lightning screen to block the Shang army's path forward.
Although he did not kill any mortals, the soldiers of the Shang army were terrified.
Five Thunder Execution?
How could it be so powerful?
