After Shen Gongbao left, Gao Cheng asked Feng Leizi to use his escape method to go to Xiqi first, and inquire about the news in the city closer to Xiqi.

Without Gao Cheng making a hindrance, the world of the gods still developed according to the original timeline, and Shen Gongbao successively invited Zhao Gongming and Sanxiao Niangniang, these four people are the real elites of the sect. Especially Zhao Gongming and Yunxiao, the two of them have reached the peak of the Golden Immortal, and they are only half a step away from stepping into the eighth-order level.

It's a pity that as soon as the catastrophe came, the two golden immortals were also blinded by the true spirits, and they were successively sent to the god list.

"It's a pity, Wen Zhong's matter is related to the Great Tribulation of the Gods, and he is destined to be on the list of gods, and he led his troops to the east, which directly led to the destruction of tens of millions of Dongyi tribes, and tens of millions of people died because of him, the cause and effect are too great!"

Gao Cheng received the message of Feng Leizi in Chentangguan, and sighed slightly in his heart. Although Wen Zhong is the great enemy of Dongyi, his upright and loyal character makes him, a person who has been an emperor very much admired.

......

In the mountain road between Xiqi and Qinglong Pass, thousands of defeated soldiers were hurrying with their heads down, and Wen Zhong rode the ink qilin in the center of the remnants, his face was sad, his hair was gray, as if he had suddenly aged more than ten years.

"Hey, I led 500,000 troops to the west, but now there are only a few thousand remnants left, and the people and friends of the sect are all dead and wounded, how can I return to Chaoge?" Wen Zhong sighed in a low voice.

He has been assisting the Great Shang for more than 100 years since he went down the mountain, fighting in the south and the north, fighting in the east and west, and has never been defeated, even if it is a tie, Yuan Futong in Beihai occupies seventy-two cities and rebels, he led the continuous attack for fifteen years, and finally hung his head to the public. The king of Pingling in the East China Sea usurped and rebelled, and he sent troops to pacify it in January......

The invincible record in the past has made him the military god of Dashang. Even Wen Zhong never thought that he would lose so miserably. He glanced left and right, thousands of remnants of the soldiers were demoralized, Ji Li and Yu Qing's two disciples were all killed in battle, and the two generals who were subdued in Huanghua Mountain also died on the battlefield.

Among the 500,000 troops, there are a large number of children of the nobles of Chaoge, and now the army is almost completely annihilated. Thinking of this, Wen Zhong's face became even worse.

"Taishi, it doesn't seem that this is the way back to Qinglong Pass!" At this time, the mountain road in front of him was getting narrower and narrower, and a thousand-person commander who had followed Zhang Guifang's expedition to Xiqi came over cautiously and reported in a low voice.

Wen Zhong's expression changed, after the Sanxiao Fairy was personally solved by Yuan Shi Tianzun, his 500,000 army was defeated, and when he retreated, he was constantly intercepted and killed by the Xiqi army, and in the chaos of the army, he panicked, he fled with thousands of remnants in embarrassment, but he didn't expect to lose his way.

When he was about to send troops to investigate, he met a woodcutter on the road, asked for the way, and was directed in this direction, but he didn't expect the road to get narrower and narrower.

"There's something wrong with the woodcutter who led the way!" Wen Zhong immediately thought of this. He waved his hand, ready to order his men to stop advancing. At this time, his expression moved slightly, and he looked up violently, and saw a Taoist standing on the mountain in front of him, this Taoist was wearing Taoist clothes, and it was the cloud in the jade pillar cave of Zhongnan Mountain......

A month later, Asahika City.

In the majestic palace, Emperor Xin Gao sat on the top, and the following kind of civil and military were lined up on the left and right. Wei Ziqi stood in the middle, reciting the recital of the chief soldier Han Rong, which explained in detail the process of Taishi Wenzhong's expedition to Xiqi and the results of the fall of the Dragon Ridge.

When Di Xin heard the news of Wen Zhong's death, his face showed a trace of genuine sadness, although when Wen Zhong was singing in the court, he trembled and felt very uncomfortable, but he also understood the importance of Wen Zhong to the Yin Shang Dynasty. Now that Wen Zhong is dead, the prestige and power of the Great Shang are instantly reduced by half.

"Hateful!"

When Wei Ziqi finished reciting the chapter, Di Xin hated the jade case, looked around at the left and right civil and military, and said angrily: "Taishi unfortunately died in battle, which general can lead the troops to the battle, break through Xiqi, capture Ji Fa Xiaoer and Jiang Shangpifu, and avenge Taishi?"

The left and right civil and military officers glanced at each other, and the civil officials were just that, and now the capable generals and generals of the big merchants were all in the passes to suppress the rebellion of the princes, and the military attachés in the court did not have much experience in leading troops.

Besides, even Taishi Wen Zhong personally led the western expedition to the west, and they ended up on the battlefield, they are self-aware, knowing that they have a few catties and a few taels, if they rush to the west, they will definitely die without a place to be buried.

Seeing that no one made a sound, Di Xin's face sank and became very ugly, and his eyes flashed with a fierce light.

Seeing this, one of the middle doctors stepped forward and reported: "Your Majesty, if you want to attack Xiqi, you must have a general to lead the army, and now the one who can lead the army is Deng Jiugong, the chief soldier of Sanshan Pass, and the general Zhang Shan is also a talent for commanding the army. In addition, Gao Cheng, the chief soldier of Chentangguan, once conquered the Beihai Sea with the Taishi, and he could lead the army to the west!"

When Wei Ziqi heard this, he hurriedly said: "Deng Jiugong, the chief soldier of Sanshan Pass, is a famous general and can be the marshal of the army. It's just that Xiqi has a master of the Jing Dao method, and Deng Jiugong alone is afraid that he will not be able to win completely, and he still needs a general to assist!

Di Xin groaned slightly, and said: "Then according to Uncle Wang's opinion, let Deng Jiugong be the generalissimo of the expedition to the west, and Gao Cheng be the deputy marshal, and lead the troops to the west, and they will definitely break through Xiqi and take the heads of Ji Fa and Jiang Shang!"

When he said the last, his face was slightly hideous, and his eyes flashed with a fierce aura. Seeing this, the civil and military forces on both sides of the main hall couldn't help but bow their heads.

By the time Gao Cheng received the news from Chaoge, it was already a few days later.

"Deputy Marshal of the Expedition...... Di Xin is generous, since I have let me, who has not joined the Great Business for a long time, occupy a high position!" Gao Cheng looked at the edict in his hand, and couldn't help but shake his head and smile.

In the early stage of the Fengshen War, the big merchants continued to send large armies to conquer Xiqi, just like the gourd baby saving the grandfather, constantly losing soldiers and generals, and the famous generals and elites of the dynasty continued to lose, and later even issued a recruitment list, so that the seven monsters of Meishan who had just come down the mountain served as the generalissimo, which shows that there was no one available for the big merchants at that time.

"Teacher, Wen Taishi has all surrendered his troops to Xiqi, it can be seen that there are many masters in Xiqi, why should we risk our lives for the Shang Dynasty! In my opinion, it is the best policy for us to return to Dongyi and continue to attack the cities of the eastern princes. Seeing this, Feng Leizi couldn't help but suggest.

Gao Cheng waved his hand and said, "Needless to say, I have my own plans!"

Then Gao Cheng's gaze fell on Yang Jiao, and he groaned slightly in his heart, now Yang Jian has been serving in Zhou Ying, if he brings Yang Jiao, it may be inconvenient.

"Yang Jiao, after I leave, you go to Dongyi to find Tao Ming and assist him in attacking the cities of the eastern princes!"

Some time ago, Yang Jiao also knew Gao Cheng's identity in Dongyi from the mouth of Feng Leizi, and it was not strange after hearing this order, he stepped forward and arched his hand, and said, "Disciple takes orders!"
