That night, a makeshift platform was erected in the barracks, and all the soldiers sat and watched below. A bonfire is lit for every 10 people, so that everyone can see the surrounding scene clearly in the dark night.

Now that it is the Mid-Autumn Festival, it is still a little cold when the cold wind hits at night, in order to let everyone resist the cold, Zhang Zhao specially distributed a jar of spirits to every ten people to warm their bodies.

Zhang Zhao stood on the platform and asked Bai Xing, saying, "How should I be rewarded for killing four enemy generals in a row and killing countless enemies?"

Bai Xing took out a book, opened it, and said: "According to the provisions of the military code, if the two armies face each other, they can get a great deal of success by killing the enemy, and the two will be promoted to one level. Guan Xiongli defeated the strong enemy, killed four enemy generals, that is, promoted two levels in a row, and then killed countless enemy troops, made great contributions to our army, won on the basis of two promotions, rewarded 10,000 taels of gold, a mansion, and ........ family members"

"Alright, alright!"

Without waiting for Bai Xing to finish speaking, Zhang Zhao interrupted him, and then said: "The maid in the back or something will be exempted, if he has the ability, he can find it himself, we don't include distribution, this one has to be erased." ”

"Well, it's true that human trafficking is not a good thing, and it really needs to be eradicated. ”

"Guan Xiong stepped forward to listen to the seal!"

Guan Xiong strode forward, clasped his hands into fists, and shouted angrily: "The last general!"

"You are not afraid of a strong enemy, the enemy is currently trying to kill four of the enemy, and then rushed into the enemy camp to kill countless enemies, and made indelible contributions to the morale of our army, but you acted too dangerously, with one enemy and three really a policy, you should have retreated to the rear, but you insisted on going your own way, and in the end, if I hadn't disobeyed the way of heaven to save your life, I am afraid that you would have been seriously injured by the dark arrow. But if you are a first-time offender and kindly boost the morale of our army, you don't have to chase after this correction, and you must not commit it again in the future. ”

"Yes, the last will be convicted!"

Zhang Zhao nodded and said, "Okay, then from today onwards, I will specially appoint you as the general of 10,000 soldiers, in charge of 20,000 troops, and serve as the deputy general of this army, and fully assist me and the military division." At the same time, he was rewarded with 10,000 taels of gold and a mansion, and he was to return to the city from the battle and choose a place by himself. ”

"Yes, thank you, the king!"

After the reward, Bai Xing brought a set of black armor and gave it to Guan Xiong with his own hands.

Guan Xiong stepped aside and changed into this black and gold armor in front of everyone.

"Gu Yu stepped forward to listen to the seal!"

At this moment, the soldier who had killed the enemy marshal walked up.

Zhang Zhao took a look at the young soldier, and saw that he was vigorous and decisive, and he was indeed a good material, and he was quite satisfied.

"Killing the enemy marshal in the army is a miracle, so you will be promoted three levels in a row, from now on, you will lead a thousand troops to fight, and you will also be the deputy general of General Guan Xiong, please be sure to assist him with all your might. ”

"Yes, thank you, King!"

After that, Zhang Zhao rewarded the rest of the people with merit, some were promoted to a higher level, some were rewarded with gold, and some were not enough to be recorded in the account.

Everyone was happy tonight because of the reward.

In the days that followed, the army led by Zhang Zhao went on a rampage like a beast out of a cage, and all the cities it encountered were easily breached.

Under the rule of such high rewards, the ranks are getting bigger and bigger. From the initial 100,000 people, it has expanded to 500,000 troops by the time it reaches the heaven-level city.

Looking at the heaven-level city that was close at hand, Zhang Zhao ordered the soldiers to camp in place and rest for a few days, because the other army that had been discussed with him had not yet come.

After being stationed outside the city for three days, at about seven o'clock in the evening three days later, the herald came to report that the army led by Hua Yuerong had arrived at the north gate of the heaven-level city.

As soon as he heard this, Zhang Zhao immediately set off to Hua Yuerong's army.

In the commander's camp, Zhang Zhao learned from them that Hua Yuerong's army, like himself, was invincible, and he had broken through eighteen large and small cities along the way, and now the army size has expanded to 400,000.

Now that the Northern Expeditionary Force has reached 900,000, such a huge scale is simply more than enough to attack a heaven-level city, and it can even be called a luxury.

Seeing Hua Yuerong's achievements today, Zhang Zhao should also consider going back.

The so-called "going back" is not to bring the troops back, but to go back alone.

Now the expeditionary force doesn't have to worry about it themselves, they can take charge of it very safely.

"Okay, from today onwards, the rest will be handed over to you, and I won't give you a designated time, at most one year, can you break through the Muhe Imperial Capital?"

Hua Yuerong nodded solemnly and said, "It must be no problem to break through the city, but it must be under the premise that the cultivators do not participate." ”

As soon as he heard this, Zhang Zhao also felt that something was wrong.

You said that other cities, the local cultivators didn't participate, but if they attacked the imperial capital, the cultivators would definitely participate in it.

"Well, this is also what I'm worried about, I will also make a response to this matter when I go back this time, and on the day you attack the imperial capital, I will definitely bring the Ziyang Sect over to sit in the town. ”

After settling here, Zhang Zhao got up and returned to Rongchang City.

At Zhang Zhao's speed, he returned to Rongchang City at dawn the next day. When I came back, I found that there were not many people in the city, and one or two could be seen scattered on the street, and after a probe with spiritual power, there were less than three hundred people in the entire city, and there were more than a hundred people gathered in the palace alone.

As soon as he saw this, Zhang Zhao was anxious, thinking that it was because he led people out on the expedition and was attacked here?

But when I looked around, it didn't look like someone had invaded, and there was no trace of battle at all.

In a hurry, Zhang Zhao hurriedly returned to the palace, and when he cautiously entered the door, he happened to collide with a woman.

"Who are you?"

The woman who collided with him was a woman, dressed in white, with a very beautiful appearance, but her body was full of death and violent aura, although this aura was restrained, but it was still sensed by Zhang Zhao.

Seeing that the other party was not good, Zhang Zhao became vigilant.

The woman looked at Zhang Zhao with a puzzled expression, and said suspiciously, "You don't know me?"

"I don't know, who the hell are you?"

As he spoke, Zhang Zhao had already stretched out his right hand, condensing a ball of Hongmeng power.

Seeing this, the woman's face turned cold, and she said in a cold voice: "Okay, I don't have the heart to joke with you." ”

"I know you, how come I don't remember?"

Seeing Zhang Zhao's serious face, he was not joking, and the woman turned from anger to doubt.

"Don't say anything more, be careful that I'm not polite to you!"

"You ......"

"Humph!"

Zhang Zhao clenched his right fist and swung it over without a trace of emotion.
