Guo Jia's expression was a little complicated, he hesitated, and sighed lightly: "Don't hide it from the prime minister, I came down to come on the orders of the Hou Ye." ”

Jiang Ziya's expression changed slightly, his brows furrowed, and he said in a deep voice: "Where is the Hou Ye?"

"Hey!" Guo Jia sighed again, "The news of the defeat on the front line has reached Qicheng, and many officials have taken the opportunity to complain, and they have also invited the old woman and many sons, making the Hou Ye quite passive. ”

Jiang Ziya's face showed guilt, "I disappointed Master Hou!"

"Prime ministers don't have to be like this. Guo Jia hurriedly raised his hand to stop him: "Master Hou doesn't have any intention of blaming the prime minister, let me come down and tell the prime minister that you don't have to care about the rear, just face the battle at ease on the front line."

In addition, I also want to ask, what else is missing from the prime minister? ”

Jiang Ziya's face showed gratitude, "Master Hou is so trusted, Jiang Shang is really ......"

After looking grateful, he said very firmly: "Please also ask Lord Guo to tell Master Hou that Jiang Shang will be crushed to pieces, and he will also drive the merchant army out of Xiqi." ”

Guo Jia nodded solemnly, "I will definitely bring it in the next place." ”

After a pause, he said: "I don't know if the prime minister can tell me the details of the war, and I can go back and tell the Hou Ye in the future." ”

Jiang Ziya immediately said: "It should be like this." ”

After agreeing to it, he began to speak.

is careful and original, and even his various speculations are not reserved.

After the results of the war, in fact, he had already sent it back to Xiqi and presented it to Ji Fa, but it was just a simple process result, and it was far from enough.

All kinds of details, speculation about the merchant army, and the damage situation must be known to Ji Fa, and the two parties can work together to have a better chance of winning.

As for Guo Fengxiao, Ji Fa's henchman, and he is also the only minister in the Xiqi court who can help him, he trusts him very much and has no reservations.

If Guo Fengxiao can't be trusted, then there are few people in Xiqi who can be trusted.

After a while, Jiang Ziya paused, Guo Jia's face became more serious, and he exhaled lightly: "What a powerful merchant army!"

"Not bad. Jiang Ziya nodded immediately, and said in a condensed voice: "Li Jing and Xue Rengui are both top-notch in their cultivation talents, and they are by no means easy to deal with.

Especially that Xue Rengui, if I'm not mistaken, the bow and arrow he shot and killed the four Daoist brothers of the King and Demon that day were the Qiankun bow and sky-shaking arrow left by Emperor Xuanyuan in the past, which belonged to the top-grade innate spirit treasure.

What's even more terrifying is that Xue Rengui, with the strength of the quasi-saint medium level, actually triggered almost all the power of this treasure, and the power was amazing.

With him, all the strong people on our side are terrified, and we must find a way to deal with him. ”

Guo Jia nodded solemnly, full of approval, and said in a deep voice: "Then I don't know if the prime minister has a countermeasure?"

Jiang Ziya shook his head, "I have sent a letter to ask Senior Brother Shen to come back, and I have also sent a letter back to Shimen, asking how to deal with the Qiankun Bow and Heaven-shaking Arrow."

Before there is no good way, I will focus on defense for the time being, our side is more numerous, although the battle ahead has suffered heavy losses, but the merchant army has also suffered a lot of losses.

If the merchant army didn't want to kill 1,000 enemies and lose 800 of its own, it shouldn't attack too much. ”

"Hmm!" Guo Jia was taken aback, "That's all, can the prime minister know the losses of the merchant army? If he knows exactly, and it is really not small, the pressure on Hou Ye's side will be much less." ”

Jiang Ziya's eyes lit up slightly, and he hurriedly said: "I don't know exactly, but I also fell three quasi-saint primary level powerhouses, Da Luo Jin Immortal 2,000, Golden Immortal tens of thousands, Heavenly Immortal more than 2 million or so, only a lot more." ”

"Great, so it's barely a lose-lose situation. Guo Jia smiled at the corner of his mouth.

Jiang Ziya was a little embarrassed, ashamed, and speechless.

The losses of the merchant army seem to be quite a lot, but in comparison, they are not much.

Suddenly, as if he had thought of something, Jiang Ziya said with a solemn expression: "There is another important matter, I can't be sure for the time being, and I also ask Lord Gu to tell Master Hou." ”

"What's the matter? Guo Jia said.

Jiang Ziya frowned, as if he was organizing words, and said after a while: "Lord Guo, do you know, why can our army cause so much damage to the merchant army?"

Guo Jia was a little puzzled, he said that both sides were lost, and they were already extremely cheeky.

Xiqi has more people and is not weaker than the merchant army, so shouldn't it be right to cause these damages?

Jiang Ziya didn't notice Guo Jia's doubts, and didn't wait for him to answer, so he continued to condense and said: "After the fall of the four Dao brothers of the King and Demon that day, our army was at its lowest ebb in terms of strength and morale, and even some soldiers fled on the spot.

But after the big war, the vast majority of people seemed to gradually fall into and fall into excitement, selfless fighting, even if morale was low, many people also sent a desperate blow.

Later, when the reinforcements arrived, they gradually fell into that state, and in less than half an hour, they forced the merchant army to retreat, or the merchant army retreated on its own.

In my opinion, it was Li Jing's own order. ”

Guo Jia's face was even more puzzled, and he looked at Jiang Ziya tightly, "Li Jing's own order?"

"Yes, the situation of the merchant army at that time, like our soldiers, was also in a kind of excitement, and at that time I thought it was due to morale, but now that I think about it, this is not the case.

It is also because of the selfless fighting between the two sides, many people in the merchant army have no cooperation, and they only know how to kill and mess up the formation, so that our army can cause such damage to the merchant army.

Maybe it was because Li Jing discovered these that he retreated.

And don't hide it from Lord Guo, in the battle that day, even I seemed to be more impulsive than before, and when the merchant army retreated, I had the intention of ordering a pursuit. The more Jiang Ziya spoke, the more solemn he became, and his thoughts became clearer.

"What does the prime minister mean?" Guo Jia understood a little, and he was also extremely dignified.

"Robbery. Jiang Ziya's eyes narrowed slightly.

......

On the other side, in the big tent of the merchant army center.

The word 'robbery' also spit out heavily from Li Jing's mouth, and Xue Rengui and Zhang Kui on the side looked solemn and nodded slightly.

"Yes, it should be a catastrophe. Xue Rengui said in a deep voice: "The situation of the troops that day was already a little abnormal, faster than usual, and in the big battle, even the three of us were a little addicted to it, and we lost so many soldiers without noticing it for a while."

Now that I think about it, the state of the Xiqi army that day was obviously wrong, and the morale was low, but there were still the vast majority of people who resisted desperately, and the same was true of our army.

The three quasi-saints who died in battle were also dazed, and they actually entered the center of the Xiqi army alone before they fell. ”

Zhang Kui nodded, and said with palpitations: "Don't hide it from the two of you, after the Xiqi reinforcements come, I have the intention of fighting them to the end and fighting to the death, and the army under my command is the same."

If it weren't for General Li's timely order to withdraw the troops, the consequences would be unimaginable, and even if he won, I am afraid it would have been a fiasco, what a terrible catastrophe!"

Xue Rengui nodded, and Li Jing waved his hand to show that he didn't dare to praise the merit, and he was actually afraid in his heart.

Because at that time, he also had that impulse, which caused him to discover the problem a little late, so that the merchant army did not have to lose so much.

This is undoubtedly his responsibility, after all, he is the boss, and needless to say, Zhang Kui's military ability is poor, and he is more inclined to personal cultivation.

Xue Rengui is too much loss, and it is normal to react late.

This also made him more vigilant in his heart, the catastrophe is terrible, only by experiencing it himself, can he find that it is more palpitating than he imagined.

At that time, the order to retreat was issued a little later, and the merchant army did not know how much it would lose.

This is just the beginning of the war, and it is not known to what extent it will reach in the future.

"I will send a message to Your Majesty later on the details of this battle, and I have an idea, and I will ask the two generals to consult the staff. Li Jing said calmly.

Xue Rengui and the others looked at Li Jing, "General, please speak." ”

Li Jing pondered for a moment before he said: "The catastrophe is terrible, I believe that the two generals have already seen that even if our army wins a big victory, the loss is not small."

In the future, the catastrophe will only become more and more terrifying, so I would like to advise Your Majesty not to fight the armies of both sides until necessary, so as to avoid losses. ”

Xue Rengui and the others thought about it, and immediately understood Li Jing's thoughts.

Indeed, the calamity affects people's hearts and will make people immersed in fighting.

Even the formation of the army can not be guarded against, and the armies of the two sides fight, even if Xiqi is defeated, it can also cause huge losses to the merchant army under the influence of the catastrophe.

And Li Jing undoubtedly wanted the two of them to jointly sign this suggestion with him.

Immediately, both agreed.

This is beneficial to them, Li Jing is willing to pull them, it is goodwill.

And they also roughly know His Majesty's thoughts, and it is simple to destroy Xiqi, mainly the disciples of the Three Sects.

After destroying the disciples of the Three Sects, what is Xiqi?

What's more, it's not easy to carry out a large army fight, and it's not really not carried out at all.

Just seize the moment.

In the next two days, under the unanimous intention of Li Jing and the others, the Shang army remained calm, adjusted itself, and did not launch a large-scale attack on Xiqi.

It's just that I'm always calling the battle and want to fight.

In the Xiqi camp, Jiang Ziya hung up the war-free card, indifferent to those who called for battle.

Both sides are waiting.

Li Jing was waiting for Di Xin's order and waiting for reinforcements, otherwise with their existing strength, they would not dare to storm the Xiqi army, so as not to lose too much.

It is also a little aggrieved, because of the catastrophe, the big problem of morale has almost been avoided.

Therefore, Li Jing and many of their talents cannot be displayed, even if they hit Xiqi's morale, but when they fight, the effect will be greatly reduced.

It still depends on the hard power of both sides.

It's easy to lose both, causing them to not dare to act rashly.

Jiang Ziya was waiting for news from Shimen and Shen Gongbao.

At the same time, he always pays attention to the movements in Qicheng.

He asked Guo Fengxiao to bring Ji Fa a somewhat bad suggestion, similar to Li Jing and them, unless they are absolutely sure, they will reduce the army fighting.

After all, most of the dead will be his fellow disciples, and he is uneasy.
