After the defeat of the merchant army, Randen and the Golden-winged Roc left first. Two days later, Jiang Shangyi led the army back to Hojing.

Huang Tianhua's body was also brought back with the army. His head and body were re-stitched together and parked in a courtyard next to the Zhou Wangtai Temple in Fengyi, waiting for someone from the Huang Kingdom to bring his body back to Dongyi.

As the eldest son of Huang Feihu, the lord of the Dongyi League, Huang Tianhua would have had the opportunity to become king like Ji Fa in the future. Therefore, King Wu arranged extremely high etiquette for him.

Three days later, Huang Feihu arrived with his young son Huang Tianxiang and several subordinates on the colorful sacred cow. When I saw Huang Feihu, I didn't feel sad and cried. Huang Feihu comforted me.

Huang Tianxiang next to him also said childishly, "Sister doesn't have to be sad. Although the eldest brother is dead, the three of my brothers are still alive. will go straight to the song of the dynasty and overthrow Yin Shou. ”

I remember when I rescued them from Bishui Pass five years ago, this child reached my chest. Now it's over my height.

"Tianxiang, how old are you?" I asked.

Huang Tianxiang held his head high, "Sister, I'm fourteen years old!" ”

Only fourteen years old! I'm eight years younger. But I still pretended to be surprised and said, "It's fourteen!" What a boy hero! ”

Professor Qingxu came from Qingfeng Mountain, met Huang Feihu in a hurry, and then left abruptly. Subsequently, Huang Feihu and King Wu, Ji Dan, and Jiang Shang had a secret conversation in the main hall of the Taimiao for a whole day, and then brought Huang Tianhua's body back to Dongyi with Huang Tianxiang and several strangers.

As soon as Huang Feihu left on the front foot, Jiang Shang immediately convened a meeting of his generals in the Prime Minister's Mansion. Nangong Shi, Lu Ding, Li Jing, Hong Jin and his wife, and all Yuxu's disciples, as well as Wang Di Ji Gao and Ji Feng, all participated.

Jiang Shang said: "Kong Xuan, the master of the Shang State, was defeated by our army in Jinjiling a few days ago, which may cause the Shang and Zhou countries to completely turn against each other. However, the Shang army was mired in the quagmire of fighting on the two fronts in the southeast and had no time to take care of anything else. ”

He pointed to the map on the table, "Now I am in the north of the Great Zhou Dynasty with Rui, Yu, Li, and Su, and in the south with Deng and Chu." If you want to map the Central Plains, you must first enter Hangu and Xialuoyi, and then you can succeed. However, Luoyi is the ancient summer capital, and all the guards are guarded. There are Bishui in the east, Chuanyun and Hangu in the west, Qinglong and Sanshan in the south, and Mengjin and Jiameng in the north. ”

"It happened that the king appointed Deng Kun and Rui Ji to guard the Sanshan Pass to stop the southern barbarians. That Deng Kun was originally the Deng Hou clan, and Huang Feihu was the brother-in-law, and Rui Ji was also the Rui Hou clan. Privately, he has reached a tacit understanding with Deng and Huang. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. ”

"If our army attacks Hangu Pass, we must first take the two passes of Qinglong and Jiameng. Otherwise, if the two levels come to support, our army will be attacked on the back. Now the king has reached an agreement with Su Hou, Ehou, Deng Hou and Huang Hou to take Jiameng Pass with Su Hou and Ehou, and Qinglong Pass with Deng Hou and Huang Hou. At the same time, our army attacked Hangu Pass. ”

He held the military order in his hand, "General Hong Jin, you and Princess Longji will lead 50,000 troops to Jiameng Pass and cooperate with the troops led by Ehou and Suhou." ”

Hong Jin and Long Ji took the order and left. Ji Kang and more than a dozen other ministers will follow.

Jiang Shang turned to Nangong Shi again, "General Nangong, you lead 50,000 troops, go to Qinglong Pass, and fight with the men and horses of Suhou and Huanghou. ”

Nangong also took the order and left.

The next day, on the school grounds. Hong Jin, Long Ji and Nangong are all in place and ready to go. Jiang Shang and the generals sent each other. Jiang Shang said: "I heard that Hu Lei, the younger brother of Yin Husheng of Jiamengguan Guan, was taught by the first eldest disciple of Biyou Palace, the Holy Mother of Fire Spirit, and he has special abilities. Qinglong Guan Yin Qiu Yin, and the general Chen Qi are all strangers. You two must be careful. ”

(Qiu Yin?) Is it an earthworm that changes? ）

Hong Jin replied: "This General Hu Lei has heard of it, but he has never met him. ”

"I've seen it!" I interjected, "When I was on the Three Immortals Island, he almost blinded me!" ”

"And this?" Long Ji asked, "Little sister, I'm going to Jiameng Pass to take the head of this thief and relieve your anger." ”

Jiang Shang said: "The two generals, princess, the reason why this commander did not send you more manpower is because he wants to give our friendly troops a chance to make them pay. Do you understand? ”

"The last general understands!" Hong Jin and Nangong Shi replied separately, and then led the troops away.

Subsequently, Jiang Shang arranged for Ji Gao and Ji Feng to lead 80,000 horses to garrison Tongguan, thinking that the army would respond.

Later that day, Jiang Shang and Lu Ding personally commanded an army of 100,000 and set off, marching slowly all the way, and arrived at Jinjiling in two days.

At this time, a battle report came from Jiameng Pass, "Hong Jin, together with Ehou Shun and Suhou Yizi, besieged Jiameng Pass with an army of 120,000 and killed three enemy generals. Hu Lei conferred the head. Now Guan Yin Husheng has submitted a downward table. The destruction of the city is just around the corner. ”

This damn Hu Lei died so easily?

Soon, Qinglong Pass also reported, "Nangong Shi will attack Qinglong Pass with Deng Hou, Huang family brothers and others, and kill several enemy generals, Guan Yin Qiu can't avoid the battle." ”

"How could it go so well?" Jiang Shang frowned when he heard this, his face full of suspicion. "It looks like we're getting a little slow to get in."

"Then, Uncle Shi," I asked, "should we hurry up and attack Hangu Pass?" ”

"Not busy!" Jiang Shang said, but ordered the troops to camp on the spot outside Jinji Ridge, and then he got into the tent of the commander and never came out.

In the evening, I waited impatiently, so I walked into Jiang Shang's big tent. I saw that my father, Lu Ding, Yang Jian, etc. were all in the tent. Jiang Shang sat at the table and stared at the few jade coins on the table for a long time.

He is divining again.

"Uncle Shi," I asked, "is there anything wrong with the hexagram?" ”

Jiang Shang looked at me, and then looked at the table, "The hexagram shows that the southeast, northeast, and east are all fierce." If we attack at this time, it will be quite unfavorable to our army. ”

"Nezha," he asked, "you didn't have the power of foreknowledge, can you predict the outcome of this battle?" ”

I shook my head, "I've long since run out of foresight. However, the disciple felt that this battle would not be very smooth for our army, and he was afraid of losses. But in the end, it will work. ”

Jiang Shang smiled, "I'll give you good luck!" ”

I walked out of the tent, it was late autumn, and the night wind was blowing on my bare legs, and it was already quite cold. I tried to search for memories of my past life in my head, but I couldn't remember anything. I can't help but start worrying about Sister Ryuji.

Sure enough, at noon the next day, I was suddenly urgently summoned into the account by Jiang Shang.

"Fang Cai Jiameng reported urgently, Hu Sheng surrendered, led the coalition army into the pass, and was attacked by the fire dragon soldiers led by the Holy Mother of Fire Spirit, and there were many casualties. Mr. and Mrs. Hung were also seriously injured. Princess Longji was particularly seriously injured. We urgently need our rescue. ”

My heart tightened, "How so?" ”

Jiang Shang replied: "It's all because Princess Longji designed to kill Hu Lei, which angered his teacher." Our Lady of Fire Spirit personally went down to Qiu Mingshan to help Hu Sheng and avenge his disciples. Hong Jin and his wife were lucky to get out. It seems that Ben Shuai has to go there himself. Nezha, Wei Hu, you go with Ben Shuai. ”

I received orders with Wei Hu. Jiang Shang also ordered his father and Lu Ding to lead an army to garrison it in case of the merchant army at Hangu Pass. And he warned them not to go into battle lightly.

"Marshal," said his father, "why don't you take more people to Jiameng Pass?" Only take Nezha and Wei Hu to go, lest they lose. ”

Jiang Shang pondered for a moment and said, "In Hangu Guanzhong, there are many disciples of the Inner Courtyard of Biyou. If they take advantage of my move to invade Zhou Yuan, I will not be able to take care of it. In addition, Our Lady of Fire Spirit is a disciple of the vice president of Duobao of the Biyou Branch, and is also a professor of the inner court, with a noble status. It also requires higher-level characters in the Jade Void Gate to be able to control it. ”
