After all this trouble, he didn't have any other intentions. He just wanted to marry Hui Qingping.
The five elders who understood his intentions didn't know whether to laugh or cry. You? You're just a boorish man with a cheap mouth, and you want to marry an elder of the Goddess Sect?
To the five of them, this was simply a joke.
Although there had been marriages in the history of the Goddess Sect, it was all consensual and with the permission of the Goddess Sect. The disciple was allowed to leave the sect first and get married without breaking the sect's rules. Hui Qingping had finally become an elder, so how could she give up her life's efforts to marry a boorish man like you? Wasn't this a joke?
The five of them didn't have the mood to reprimand Wu Gongling for his impudence and rudeness. He wasn't just touching her now, but he was reaching out for a yard after taking an inch. He was interested in her and wanted to marry her.
The five of them wanted to see the Goddess Sect make a fool of themselves, but they couldn't stay out of it. Wu Gongling actually wanted them to help him propose a marriage and persuade the Goddess Sect and Hui Qingping. Wasn't this nonsense?
However, he was a boorish man who acted as if he was slacking off in the war. They could kill him or cut him up, but he just wanted to marry Hui Qingping!
In the end, they didn't know what Wu Gongling did, but it turned into them persuading Wu Gongling to take care of the matters at hand first. If he couldn't even take care of what was in front of him, what was the point of marrying her?
In the end, they finally persuaded Wu Gongling to continue marching.
Along the way, the people of the five sects carefully protected Wu Gongling.
They had no choice. Hui Qingping had been greatly humiliated and kept her chastity for the rest of her life, but her reputation was ruined in the hands of this scoundrel. She was going to become a joke in the sect and the world. She couldn't take this lying down, so she wanted to kill Wu Gongling!
When she learned that Wu Gongling was reaching out for a yard after taking an inch and wanted to marry her, Hui Qingping was so angry that she almost vomited blood. She had seen shameless people before, but she had never seen someone as shameless as him. He was simply shameless to the extreme!
When the news spread to the Goddess Sect, the Goddess Sect advised her to bear with it, which almost made her faint from anger.
The Goddess Cult had made this decision with a guilty conscience, but it wasn't unreasonable for them to be apprehensive. They had to bear with it for the time being, and it wouldn't be too late to kill them later. The faction had paid such a huge price, and so many people had died. How could they let this matter be ruined?
He was afraid that Hui Qingping would ruin things, so he ordered Hui Qingping to return to the Goddess Cult and prepare to replace her. However, Hui Qingping was furious and refused to leave. She wanted to wait until the end and personally kill Wu Gongling. She wanted to personally cut Wu Gongling into a thousand pieces.
The Goddess Cult felt a little helpless and could only repeatedly remind her not to act recklessly. At the same time, she also instructed the other disciples to keep a close eye on her.
After that, Hui Qingping realized how wrong her decision was. It turned out that the whole army knew about her humiliation. When the soldiers saw her, they all looked at her strangely.
What was even more infuriating was Wu Gongling himself. It was inevitable that he would often wander around in front of her. He would even deliberately raise one of his hands to show that he was savoring the aftertaste after touching her. He would also wink at Hui Qingping as if he was trying to flirt with her and even call out the two words "Pingping".
Whenever he saw Hui Qingping, he would call her "Pingping". He was so thick-skinned that even the soldiers wanted to cover their ears when they heard him. They realized that the Great General's skin was really indescribable.
Hui Qingping was almost driven mad by Wu Gongling. She was so angry that she was trembling, but there was nothing she could do.
Even the disciples of her own sect stopped her and stared at her. Wu Gongling was also highly protected by a group of cultivators. What could she do alone?
In any case, it wasn't her own sect's business. The elders of the other five sects were also watching a joke. They didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Talking about Wu Gongling behind his back … He was a f * cking lunatic. Was he afraid that he would die too comfortably in the end? He even winked at her and flirted with her. Where did he get the confidence to think that he could conquer Hui Qingping?
The group of people had the mentality of watching how Wu Gongling would die in the end. Of course, they still had to protect him.
There was no other way. Although this scoundrel was a scoundrel, he had the morale of the army.
…
"Scoundrel!"
In the central army tent by the river, Luo Zhao, who was staring at the map, suddenly slammed his fist on the table.
"Why are you angry, Governor?"
Someone outside the tent asked with a smile. Luo Zhao looked back and saw Wen You enter first, followed by High Heaven Pavilion Elder Su Yuanbai, Blood God Temple Elder Dong Yinglai, and Sky Splitting Palace Elder Chang Fei.
Seeing these people, Luo Zhao turned around with a cold face and cupped his hands to greet them.
Su Yuanbai, who had spoken before, smiled and asked, "Who made Governor angry?"
Luo Zhao waved his hand and pointed at the map. "Wu Gongling's marching intention is not right. It doesn't seem like he wants to deal with Yan's rebel suppression army. I think he wants to divert the disaster to the Song Kingdom's border defense."
At first, they really believed Wu Gongling's nonsense. After Wu Gongling struggled for a while and the marching route was lengthened, he finally found something wrong.
The few of them looked at each other when they heard this. The elder of the Blood God Hall, Dong Yinglai, sighed. "The Governor is indeed the Governor. None of us could see through Wugong Ling's intentions, but the Governor did."
Hearing this, Luo Zhao asked suspiciously, "What do you mean?"
"It is indeed as the Viceroy expected. Wugong Ridge has been circling around and is heading for our Song Nation." Wen You smiled bitterly and handed the letter in his hand to him. "This is the intention of the three sects. They want Governor to cooperate with Wu Gongling's attack."
"Cooperate with Wu Gongling?" Luo Zhao was shocked and looked at the three Elders. Seeing them nod, he immediately took the letter and read it. After reading it, his face darkened. "What's the situation? He said that he alienated the Yan imperial court and the Southern Province. Do you believe this kind of nonsense? "
Su Yuanbai said, "Governor, do you think there is a problem?"
Luo Zhao shook the paper in his hand. "If he really has this ability, if he really has the ability to plot against the Yan imperial court and influence the Yan imperial court, how can he be suppressed for so many years? Who in the Yan Kingdom can suppress him? Listening to this nonsense, I'm more likely to believe in his nonsense! "
Su Yuanbai said helplessly, "Even if Governor's judgment is correct, there is one thing we have to admit. The swift retreat of Wu Gongling has indeed given the Yan court the confidence to suppress the rebellion. The rapid retreat of Wu Gongling has indeed facilitated the capture of Shang Chaozong. It has indeed alienated the Yan imperial court and the Southern Province. This cannot be denied, right?"
"…" Luo Zhao was speechless. There was really no way to reason with this matter. He asked, "Do we really have to do as he says?"
Su Yuanbai said, "What else can we do now?"
Luo Zhao asked in return, "Do the three Elders know the consequences of this?"
The three looked at each other. Chang Fei, the Elder of Sky Splitting Palace, said, "If Governor has any wise ideas, we will definitely convey them to our superiors. We will not delay your military affairs."
Luo Zhao waved his hand and pointed at the map. "Although the Song and Han want to join hands to attack the Yan Kingdom, once the war starts at the Song border, we will have no choice but to act first. What do you think the Han Kingdom will do? We have been fighting with them for so many years. How can we not know the Han Kingdom's intentions? They will definitely sit back and watch us exhaust our resources. Or rather, they will wait until we reduce the pressure on the north before they act. Once we lose too much of our strength, even if we defeat the Yan Kingdom, we will be at a disadvantage when we discuss the division! "
He tapped on the map. "The Han Kingdom will definitely have the same intention! Even if they want to fight, they should let the Han Kingdom make the first move. Or rather, everyone should act at the same time. How can they let the Song Kingdom bear the pressure first? "
Su Yuanbai smiled bitterly. "At this point, Wu Gongling is already heading our way. It seems impossible for him to take the long route to the Han Kingdom."
Luo Zhao said, "We have our men there. Did they try to force Wu Gongling to change his route to the Han Kingdom?"
Su Yuanbai sighed. "Wu Gongling doesn't have enough rations. Now, we can't send large amounts of resources to help him. This method might not work."
Luo Zhao said, "Even if it doesn't work, we have to think of a way. His troops are wreaking havoc in the Yan Kingdom and not in the Song Kingdom. I don't care if they burn, kill, loot, or use other methods to gather rations. In short, we have to reduce the Song Kingdom's losses as much as possible."
Su Yuanbai sighed again. "The Viceroy might not know about Wugong Ridge. Even his elder brother can't stop him from doing something he has decided on. I'm afraid that a person who can even kill his elder brother will not change his mind."
Luo Zhao revealed a ruthless expression. "He is but a chess piece. How can he make the decisions? Our men are by his side. We can find those around him who are incapable and replace them. Then, we can communicate with them secretly. If Wu Gongling doesn't listen, we can kill him quietly and send someone secretly to take over the army. Later on, the Cang Kingdom's rebel army will definitely be obstructed by the Yan Kingdom's troops. We can pretend to be defeated and turn to Han. This will make Han speechless. "
Dong Yinglai of the Blood God Temple shook his head and said, "Governor … I'm afraid this won't work. To be honest, Wu Gongling has always been rebellious. It's not that we haven't considered replacing him. However, after careful consideration, we realized that the Cang Kingdom's lone army can still follow us in this situation. It's all because of Wu Gongling's prestige and morale. Otherwise, with no future in sight, the troops would have long run away and scattered. "
Su Yuanbai also nodded. "In Cang Kingdom, although Wu Gongshan had prestige when he was alive, it was established after he held the military power for a long time. In terms of real prestige in the army and closeness with the soldiers, Wu Gongshan is probably not as good as his younger brother Wu Gongling. This is also why Wu Gongling was able to quickly win the army's morale after killing his elder brother. Now that he is under our control, it's not difficult to kill him. However, the consequences of killing him might not be good. In such a bad situation, other than Wu Gongling, no one can control the morale of the Cang Kingdom's rebel army. It's very likely that all of them will run away. "
Dong Yinglai continued, "Wu Gongling also did something else. He prepared three days' worth of dry rations for every soldier. He promised that those who are willing to follow him can fight for their future. He guaranteed that after the matter is completed, he will not mistreat them. Those who are not willing to follow him can leave on their own. We will not force or stop them. He said that they are brothers and will part on good terms. The three days' worth of rations is the least they can do for those who leave. This made many soldiers shed tears of gratitude. If we really kill them, everyone will have rations with them. When they run away, they will have no scruples at all. It's hard to guard against hundreds of thousands of people. They can slip away just by taking a piss. How can we stop them? "
Luo Zhao gnashed his teeth in hatred. "How pretentious! A person who even killed his own brother actually has the face to say that they will part on good terms. Who would believe such nonsense? "
Chang Fei sighed. "The key is that he said that he did not kill his elder brother. The Cang Kingdom's rebel army believed his nonsense. He can do such unreasonable things. Could it be that after killing Wu Gongling, he will take back the three days' worth of rations? With Wu Gongling dead and his successor taking back the rations, it will be hard for people not to think too much. Will the army's morale be stable? "
Even this escape route is blocked? Luo Zhao's expression twitched. He gritted his teeth and said, "This bastard is really a god at using troops. I have learned a lot today!"
