"Su Hu? Wasn't he defeated by Chong Houhu? He actually dares to bring troops to attack us? "
In the military tent, Nezha smiled disdainfully. He did not take his enemies seriously at all.
Yang Jian did not mind that. He sat on the main armchair. Ji Qianhua, who was standing behind him, held a tea tray. She looked heroic.
"You can't say that." Huang Feihu, who was sitting on the left of Yang Jian, shook his head and said seriously, "Su Hu has a strong personality and is righteous. He was once forced by Di Xin to write a poem that said, 'From now on, he will not do business in the court'. He can be considered a hero of his generation."
Nangong Shi smiled and said, "He's such a hero, but he gave birth to a calamitous Su Daji?"
Li Jing stroked his beard and pondered for a while. "General Nangong might not know about this matter. Su Daji is fine. She only became the Demon Empress because her soul was seized by a demon fox. That demon fox has a good background. No one dares to touch her. Su Hu should already know about this. "
Nangong Shi and the other generals of the Zhou Country could not help but be stunned.
They could not be blamed for being surprised. They were just mortal generals. They only knew that Di Xin doted on the Demon Concubine, but they did not know what a Demon Concubine was.
The matter of Su Daji being a Nine-Tailed Demon Fox was mostly only spread among the cultivators of the Dao Sect. As Goddess Nuwa was behind Daji, no one dared to talk about it.
"Su Hu doesn't have many abilities. There's actually nothing to worry about," Yang Jian said calmly. "However, according to the reports from the spies in Chaoge City, a Dao Sect cultivator named Shen Gongbao has recently entered the court as an official. This person is a little difficult to deal with. If you meet him, there's no need to talk to him. Just attack."
"Senior Brother, why can't I speak?"
"This person has a sharp tongue. He can turn black into white. He's very impressive." Yang Jian praised from the bottom of his heart. He casually mentioned, "Tu Xingsun was convinced by him to go to the opposite side and let us fight."
Muzha asked straightforwardly, "By the way, where's Tu Xingsun?"
The tent immediately fell silent.
Although Deng Chanyu did not publicize what happened that night, and Ji Qianhua, the victim, also kept her mouth shut, some rumors still leaked out.
Yang Jian said nonchalantly, "He was drunk and wanted to be rude to a female general in the army, but I stopped him in time. I destroyed his cultivation and threw him back to his master to cultivate again."
Nezha and Huang Tianhua immediately tightened their legs.
Li Jing looked at Deng Chanyu and Ji Qianhua from the side. He stroked his beard and chuckled. He did not say anything.
"Why don't we send someone to investigate?" Huang Tianhua said from the side. "I wonder if the fellow who poisoned the capital is also in the Shang army. If he is, we really have to settle the score."
Yang Jian asked, "How is the morale of the army?"
Muzha said, "Senior Brother, the morale of the troops is high, we can march east at any time!"
Li Jing, who was at the side, frowned and said, "The army is the army, and the sect is the sect. You should call him Prime Minister in the army, not Senior Brother who shows your friendship with the same sect! Report again! "
Muzha hurriedly lowered his head. Nezha and Jinzha hurriedly avoided their father's gaze.
"Yes, Father." Muzha cupped his fists and bowed to Yang Jian. He shouted, "Prime Minister! The morale of the soldiers is strong. They can set off at any time! "
Only then did Li Jing's expression relax. Yang Jian was impressed by the Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King.
Like father, like son. Li Jing's attention to details was something that Yang Jian often ignored.
Yang Jian asked again, "Is the army's rations ready?"
Lei Zhenzi stood up, cupped his fists, bowed, and replied, "Prime Minister, if the army does not move, the rations can be used for sixteen months. If the army moves out, the rations will naturally be unobstructed!"
"That's right." Yang Jian nodded in agreement. Then, he changed the topic to Huang Tianhua's request to investigate the other party's military intelligence.
After thinking about it, Yang Jian was not at ease no matter who was present to investigate the Shang army.
"I'll go personally to investigate the military intelligence." As soon as Yang Jian finished speaking, Deng Chanyu and Li Jing stood up at the same time.
Deng Chanyu said, "The army can't be without a leader. How can the Prime Minister take the risk so easily?"
Li Jing said, "As a commander, you have to have the heroic spirit of commanding the army for three thousand kilometers, but you should also have trust in the soldiers under you. It's not advisable to take the risk alone, and it's not advisable to do everything personally."
Alright, with more generals under him, there would naturally be more people who dared to advise him.
Yang Jian said, "I'm very confident that I can retreat unscathed. Generals, don't worry. I'm just going to see how many enemies there are."
Although Yang Jian's tone was calm, there was a tone that allowed no one to question him. The generals did not dare to say anything.
Taking advantage of the night to leave the camp, Yang Jian used the Seventy-two Transformations and entered Azure Dragon Pass.
At that moment, there were only 150,000 troops stationed at Azure Dragon Pass. Most of the people in the pass had already fled. Most of them had entered the Zhou Nation, and some had been captured by the Shang army to become slaves.
The commander of the Shang army was not stupid. He knew that if the Zhou Army advanced east, Azure Dragon Pass would definitely not be able to hold on for long. Therefore, he did not accumulate many troops there. The 150,000 troops were only used to expend the Zhou Army's military strength there. They were stationed at the Boundary Tablet Pass behind Azure Dragon Pass.
The five passes of the Shang Dynasty were actually the Chentang Pass on the East Ocean that resisted Dongyi. The Wandering Soul Pass in the east of Chaoge City, the Beautiful Dream Pass in the southwest, the Azure Dragon Pass in the northwest, and the Three Mountain Pass in the south were the five passes of the Shang Dynasty.
The five passes that the Zhou Nation usually mentioned were the Jishui Pass, Boundary Tablet Pass, Cloud Pass, Tong Pass, and Lintong Pass. They were all passes that had been built in the past hundred years to guard against the Zhou Nation.
Now, nearly half of the Shang Nation's troops were stored in the five passes in the northwest. Ever since Wen Zhong died, Chaoge City was in a state of panic. Although there were millions of armored soldiers in the five passes, it still made Di Xin unable to sleep.
At that moment, Di Xin asked the ministers how to deal with the Zhou Nation. A minister recommended Su Hu. Su Daiji also took the opportunity to say how her father was good at leading troops to battle.
At that moment, Shen Gongbao entered Chaoge City. After becoming an official, he introduced Lu Yue and Ma Yuan to Di Xin. Di Xin's confidence increased greatly. He ordered the various departments to mobilize troops and use Su Hu as the general to attack Xiqi.
When Yang Jian received the news, Su Hu had just set off from Chaoge City. Therefore, Yang Jian went to Azure Dragon Pass to investigate, but he did not find anything.
Releasing his divine senses, Yang Jian flew in the direction of Chaoge City. He discovered the Shang army that was gathering at Tong Pass and also sensed a shocking aura.
From afar, Tong Pass seemed to have turned into a ferocious beast in the night. Yang Jian's eyes shone with divine light. He saw the blood fiend lingering in the sky above Tong Pass. He followed the blood fiend and looked into the city. However, he realized that the blood fiend seemed to come from the same person.
"What powerful person is it?"
Yang Jian frowned and thought for a while, but he could not think of anything. He decided to hide and sneak into Tong Pass with the wind.
The atmosphere in Tong Pass was a little stuffy. There were soldiers walking back and forth everywhere. Apart from the sound of footsteps and armor colliding, it was silent.
Yang Jian transformed into a peddler. He carried a shoulder pole on his shoulder and lowered his head as he walked through the streets. There were many such merchants in the city who sold fruits and drinks. Therefore, Yang Jian was not eye-catching.
After walking for a long time, Yang Jian finally approached the house with the thickest blood fiend aura. The tip of his nose twitched, but he smelled blood.
The tip of his ears twitched slightly. Yang Jian heard the whispers of two women coming from the house. Yang Jian did not stop walking as if he was just passing by. The two women's words were imprinted in his mind.
"Does General Ma really eat people? I saw someone carrying two slaves in, and in the end, he only brought out two sacks with blood seeping out … "
"Shhh, do you want to die? The army will leave in two days. We are just here to make a living. Why do you care so much? "
"Sigh …"
General Ma? Eat people?
Yang Jian's divine sense swept over, but it was blocked by the formation. He did not look carefully and carried the shoulder pole on his shoulder.
This time, there seemed to be a decent opponent.
If the opponent ate people, it was very likely that he was a master of the demon race. He did not know where did Shen Gongbao find such a person.
Yang Jian had the thought of killing this person at this time, but he quickly dispelled the thought …
After walking for a while, Yang Jian arrived at the "Commander's Office". He used his divine sense to explore and immediately saw a familiar figure.
Shen Gongbao.
This Aunt-Master was sitting at the banquet in the side hall. Su Hu was sitting in the main seat, and Zheng Lun, one of the two generals, was sitting opposite Shen Gongbao. The three of them were drinking and chatting happily.
Is Shen Gongbao on my side, or has he really surrendered to the Jie School?
From the results of the God-Conferment, Shen Gongbao seemed to be a pawn of Chanism in the Jie School. He instigated many immortals of the Jie School to die and enter the God roll, filling up a large number of vacancies on the God roll.
However, the immortals of the Jie School were not fools. If Shen Gongbao really did not sincerely surrender to the Jie School, how could he persuade so many immortals of the Jie School to enter the South Continent and become enemies with Chanism?
"Hey! You! Is there any wine in the basket? "
Suddenly, a shout came from beside him. Yang Jian lowered his head and answered, "Sir, it's sold out."
"What a bummer. Why are you wandering around here when there is no wine? Hurry up and leave, or else I'll catch you as a spy and send you to General Ma's feast! "
Yang Jian carried the shoulder pole and left in a hurry. A few wild laughter came from behind.
They were just mortals. There was no need to take them seriously.
Yang Jian found an empty alley and turned into a wisp of green smoke that floated out of Tongguan.
He had already remembered the troops and rations there. The only thing that made him a little wary was the cultivator who had released the blood fiend in the city but did not harm the lives of the armored soldiers.
General Ma … Ma Yuan?
Yang Jian had vaguely heard of Ma Yuan, but his impression was too vague.
He had to be careful when dealing with this person. To be safe, he should personally go into battle later and kill this man-eating general.
Yang Jian investigated all the way to Chaoge City before returning to the Zhou camp. He summoned Huang Feihu and Li Jing and told them everything he had seen along the way in detail. He asked them to think about how to deal with the enemy.
After he was done, it was already dawn. Yang Jian had nothing to do, so he lay on the bed and took a nap.
Just as he fell asleep, a huge star shone in the east sky. An old immortal rode a cloud and arrived in front of the military camp.
"Hey, Little Brother!" The old immortal with white hair, white beard, and white eyebrows greeted. Huang Tianhua, who was patrolling the camp, tilted his head and pointed at himself.
"Please report that Venus Taibai wishes to see Perfected Lord Erlang."
"Venus Taibai? Oh yes, I was wondering why you looked so familiar, Senior! " Huang Tianhua hurriedly walked forward. "Senior, please come in. I'll go and call Senior Brother … Uh, call the Prime Minister to welcome you."
