It was difficult to advance rashly because of greed. Young people needed to be cautious.
Only when the soldiers were in danger would they say that they were short of cultivation.
…
The immortals of Chanism returned to the mountain. It was another magnificent scene of flying immortals. The people of Xiqi kowtowed in all sorts of ways, but they did not know if it was really effective.
After the immortals left, the generals who stayed behind in the capital of the Zhou Nation instructed the Zhou Army to evacuate the citizens. This was also part of the discussion yesterday, to prevent any disturbances.
"Don't think too much," Yang Jian said from the side. "Uncle-Master Qingxu is just reminding you to be careful. Don't be greedy and advance rashly. You can naturally contribute and be safe and sound."
"Yes." Huang Tianhua calmed himself down and smiled at Yang Jian. "It's fine. There's still the God roll. If I really die on the battlefield in the future, I have to kill one or two enemies so that I won't embarrass Eldest Senior Brother."
"Don't say such depressing words. Let's go back to the camp and prepare for the east. I have something to do today."
Yang Jian called out. Huang Tianhua perked up and followed behind Yang Jian.
When the citizens below the stage had mostly dispersed, the generals that Yang Jian had left behind rode a cloud to their respective places.
Li Jing brought Jinzha and Muzha to the north. Lei Zhenzi, Deng Chanyu, and Deng Jiugong headed south. The rest followed behind Yang Jian and flew towards the camp of the army in the east.
When they returned to their camps, the immortal light that enveloped the three armies slowly dissipated.
The immortal light seemed to have come from the Jade Void Palace. To have such Dharma powers, the main point was that millions of mortals did not sense it and protected them. At the very least, one had to have the cultivation level of Yuding Zhenren.
Obviously, this was the work of the Saint of the Jade Void Palace.
The generals returned to the camp and discussed the matter of the march.
Just as Yang Jian sat down, a jade token flew through the air and landed in Yang Jian's hand. Yang Jian opened it and frowned.
Just like the previous jade talisman, this one was sent by Martial Uncle Hiroshige. However, the contents of the talisman made Yang Jian speechless …
Yin Jiao took advantage of Hiroshige's visit to Xiqi to steal the Flipping Heaven Seal, the Luo Po Bell, and the Male and Female Swords. Then he went down the mountain and disappeared.
Hiroshige deduced that Yin Jiao must have been angry because of Yin Hong and wanted to seek revenge on Yang Jian and the others. In the jade token, he instructed Yang Jian that if Yin Jiao disobeyed the orders of his sect and betrayed the Shang army, Yang Jian could kill him on his own. There was no need to inform him.
Yang Jian: …
Last time, Yin Hong held the Yin Yang Mirror and almost killed Lei Zhenzi. This time, it was Yin Hong's brother who held the Kai Tian Seal and the Luo Po Bell …
He really wanted to ask Hiroshige, "All the treasures of your family are placed in the cave residence. Don't you carry them with you?"
No matter how he looked at it, he felt that Uncle-Master had a plan. He deliberately left the treasures in the Cave Abode and "seduced" Yin Hong to steal the treasures and go down the mountain to take revenge …
Forget it. It's just Yin Jiao. He can't do anything.
Yang Jian was the one who was advocating for the God Conferment, not Jiang Shang, who was supervising the rations at the back. Yin Jiao's foundation was too shallow. He could only rely on the might of his Dharma treasures and was not enough to be his enemy.
Yang Jian was a little worried. Shen Gongbao must be behind Yin Jiao's betrayal. He did not know which mighty figure of Jie School would be invited to hold the line for Yin Jiao, the traitor of Chan School, who had achieved great success in mystic arts.
Yang Jian's eyes flickered as he casually crushed the jade talisman.
Hiroshige would not appear this time. Perhaps he was afraid that he would end up like Chijing Zi and end up in a sorry state because of his disciple. Perhaps it was because he was thick-skinned and did not want others to know that he did not discipline his disciple well.
It was fine if Yang Jian dealt with Yin Jiao in a low profile. After all, he was not a strong enemy.
"Summon the generals to discuss matters in the tent."
Yang Jian gave the order. A few figures appeared outside the tent. Xiao Lan was among them. They entered the tent together.
An hour later, the rumbling of horse hooves could be heard outside the tent. Dozens of mortal generals entered the tent and split into four rows. They knelt on one knee before Yang Jian.
"Greetings, Prime Minister!"
"Generals, please rise." Yang Jian did not delay and said directly, "Prepare the troops. Let the soldiers rest during the day and set off at night. We will march to Azure Dragon Pass!"
We're going on an expedition to the east right after we've appointed the generals?
The generals shouted in unison, "Yes!"
Yang Jian asked repeatedly, "Is the rations ready?"
A Grain Supervisor reported, "The army's rations can be mobilized at any time. Now, the rations stored are enough for our army for a year and four months! If the army moves out, the rations will be smooth. There will be no worry about food shortage. "
Yang Jian nodded and asked, "Are there any defects in the armor of the soldiers?"
"There are no defects in the armor, bows, and arrows. The chariots and horses are also ready!"
"In that case, the only thing that can stop us from attacking the Shang Dynasty is the Shang army."
Yang Jian stood up and swept his gaze across the generals in the tent. He said in a deep voice, "All of you are generals who are highly regarded by the King. All of you have meritorious deeds in battle. You have the strength to fight a hundred enemies alone and are outstanding in bravery."
"However, in the war against the Shang Dynasty, there will definitely be all kinds of monsters appearing. If you encounter foreign cultivators who use Dharma spells to slaughter the soldiers, do not fight with your flesh and blood. If you need to retreat, retreat. Do not snatch the credit!"
The dozens of generals answered in unison, "Yes!"
"I do not need to elaborate on the military discipline of the army. Today, I will add another rule. In the war against the Shang Dynasty, the soldiers are not to plunder the people, burn, kill, or loot. If this order is violated, the leader will be punished for disrespecting military discipline and will not be spared."
"Yes!"
"Generals, return to the army. Tonight, we will go to Azure Dragon Pass and make the first contribution!"
The generals were excited and answered firmly. They cupped their hands and left.
Yang Jian looked at Nezha and the rest and said, "General Xiao Lan, stay. Everyone, go and rest for a while."
"Yes," Huang Tianhua answered and left the main tent with Wei Hu and Nezha. Only Yang Jian and Xiao Lan were left in the tent.
Xiao Lan heaved a sigh of relief and sat at the side without caring about her image. She took a cup of tea and drank two mouthfuls.
Yang Jian smiled and said, "How is it? What do you think the chances of winning tonight are?"
"100%. Looking at how proud you are, you must have already arranged a backup plan." Xiao Lan blinked. "You said in the Dragon Palace that Su Hu has already entered the Zhou Country. However, the defending general of Azure Dragon Pass is Su Hu. Tsk."
Yang Jian smiled and did not say anything. He sat on the main seat and carefully looked at a map that was not very detailed.
Although the map was not detailed, there were the locations of the three armies. It also showed the territory of the Shang Dynasty and the Zhou Country.
"There are 490 cities in Zhou and 860 cities in Shang. Although the Shang Dynasty is about to die, it has the strength to drag the Zhou Country down." Yang Jian tapped the table with his fingers.
"What are you worried about?" Xiao Lan asked in confusion. "The Zhou Army is already certain to take down the Shang Dynasty. Why are you worrying here?"
Yang Jian looked up at Xiao Lan and asked, "If the Zhou Country sends all their main soldiers to attack the Shang Dynasty, even if they attack the Shang Dynasty, how can they rule such a vast territory?"
"We can just keep recruiting troops when we attack the Shang Dynasty. We can also train troops everywhere and support the frontline," Xiao Lan said indifferently. "Take it step by step. We only need to spend one or two more years to make the Zhou Army braver and more. Why worry about that?"
Yang Jian shrugged. "What I'm afraid is that the Shang Dynasty will ignore everything and fight the Zhou Army to the death. After the three sides fight at the same time and both sides are injured, one of the East and South will suddenly rise and annex the other. In the West and North Expedition, they will form an equal with the Zhou Nation."
Xiao Lan was stunned. She looked at Yang Jian and scolded jokingly, "Aren't you thinking too highly of your enemy?"
"My enemy is not the Shang Dynasty, but Jie School."
Yang Jian's words made Xiao Lan's smile freeze. The latter pondered and nodded gently. "Now that you say that, I also think that the East and South Sects have to be wary. However, are the immortals of Jie School as smart as you? "
Yang Jian rolled his eyes.
Xiao Lan chuckled and said, "Prime Minister, do you have any countermeasures?"
"I can't do anything about this matter. I can only send someone to urge the Jiang Family to send troops." Yang Jian sighed and stretched. "Most likely, the Jie School disdains the matter of Chanism supporting a mortal emperor."
Yang Jian did not say anything. Yang Jian still had a huge killing weapon that he had not used.
The Kongtong Seal, the seal of the ancient Yellow Emperor, could directly scatter the destiny of a human faction.
With this seal in hand, if Jie School really took the path of nurturing an emperor, Yang Jian would directly kill the destiny of the East and South Sects.
He felt more and more that Emperor Huang Xuanyuan had really given him an impressive treasure.
"Shall we have a round before the battle?" Yang Jian rubbed his palms and invited.
Xiao Lan nodded nonchalantly. Anyway, it was just bullying noobs. A few more times could be considered a small cultivation.
…
At night, the hundreds of thousands of troops of the Zhou Army set off silently. The remaining hundreds of thousands of troops adjusted their armaments and followed unhurriedly.
Yang Jian and Xiao Lan sat on the same chariot. The former's face was dead silent. Black pieces and white words kept appearing in his mind. It was like the stars in the sky were like a chessboard.
"Prime Minister, the army ahead will arrive at Azure Dragon Pass in over ten kilometers."
"Yes, I know," Yang Jian replied calmly. The messenger quickly retreated.
Xiao Lan, who was sitting opposite Yang Jian and admiring the scene of the army's advance, could not help but scold softly. "Prime Minister, Grand Marshal, can you focus? We're at war now! "
"It's fine. I'll observe the stars at night. Everything will be smooth tonight. There won't be any twists and turns."
Xiao Lan rolled her eyes. "Prime Minister, when did you observe the stars?"
"Here, now." Yang Jian pointed at the stars in the sky. "Young Master Xiao, look. These stars are so bright. It's an auspicious sign."
Xiao Lan could only support her forehead with one hand. She had the urge to jump off the chariot …
Azure Dragon Pass, military headquarters.
Zheng Lun and Su Hu were gathering a group of generals and strategists to serve wine in the manor. At this time, the smell of wine was strong, and people were singing and dancing happily. Many of the generals were already drunk.
Suddenly, the rumbling of war drums came from the camp. Many of them shuddered.
"What's going on!"
"The drums are beating. The Zhou army is attacking?"
"Quick, go back to the camp to take a look!"
Most of the generals hurriedly stood up. But just as they were about to leave, the door to the hall suddenly closed.
The group of generals was stunned.
Su Hu held a wine cup and slowly stood up. He cupped his hands and bowed to the generals. "Generals, this Su has offended you."
A few drops of cold sweat appeared on a general's forehead. He said in a low voice, "Imperial father-in-law, what is the meaning of this?"
"This Su is ashamed to face the world. I gave birth to a demoness! Causing a tyrant to run amok! " Su Hu drained the wine cup in one gulp. His gaze carried some pain as he slowly closed his eyes. "To make up for this mistake, Su Hu is willing to bear the eternal infamy of betraying the country and abandoning the emperor! Generals who oppose the Shang and protect the Zhou will be promoted! If you want to die loyal to the emperor, where are the executioners! "
Just as he finished speaking, hundreds of armored soldiers rushed over from all directions. They raised their shining broadswords.
