The words were divided into two ends, but it was said that Deng Jiugong led the people to retreat all the way, and the army under his command retreated for a hundred miles before they were re-stationed in the abandoned camp left behind in the rear.

It took nearly two months for the Chaoge side to advance more than 100 miles towards the territory of Xiqi, and now once defeated, the army was driven back again, not to mention the loss of troops, and the morale fell to the freezing point.

In desperation, Deng Jiugong had no choice but to close the camp, and while hanging up the exemption card, he sent people to report the battle situation to Chaoge's side and ask for reinforcements.

A few days later, the Chaoge side sent back a letter, and sent 50,000 reinforcements again, led by Yu Hua, the new guard general of Bishui Pass, who was sitting in the rear, to the front camp and Deng Jiugong's soldiers.

In addition, it is worth mentioning that by Yu Hua's side, there was also a red-haired and blue-faced, fanged man, with scarlet and bloody eyes, and a tall and incomparable figure, like a hellish ghost.

According to Yu Hua, this person is his master, Yu Yuan, an immortal, who has the ability to penetrate the heavens and the earth, and was specially invited by the national teacher Shen Gongbao to deal with Lu Zhi, the main general of Xiqi.

Not to mention that when Yu Hua introduced his master Yu Yuan to Deng Jiugong, he vigorously advocated how good his master was.

That Yu Yuan was also extremely confident, and directly said that although Lu Zhi was a true disciple of the saint, he was not very old, and his cultivation time was still shallow, and he was just a doll in front of him, a little milk boy.

When Deng Jiugong heard this, he was a little suspicious in his heart, although this Yu Yuan looked extremely vicious, unusual, and he was very confident in what he said, but could he really deal with that Lu Zhi?

After all, he hadn't really seen Yu Yuan's ability with his own eyes, but he had already tried Lu Zhi's power.

If it weren't for his daughter Deng Chanyu, who had cultivated a colorful flying stone stunt, he could beat the immortals, gods and ghosts, and gave Lu Zhi a face to him, knocking him off the horse and blocking him, I'm afraid he would have followed in the footsteps of the last two Marshals of the Western Expedition by now, and he was either captured or defeated and died!

Therefore, he did not accept Yu Hua's proposal to march immediately, but only said that the army had just been defeated, and he needed to rest for a while to restore his morale, and as for dealing with Lu Zhi, he still needed to discuss and plan again.

Deng Jiugong still trusted his own judgment more.

Isn't that Tuxing Sun the same before, and he is more confident than this Yu Yuandu in his words, as if dealing with that Lu Zhi is just a matter of hand-to-hand capture, but what is the result? Tuxingsun was directly defeated and died, and his large camp was almost broken by the Xiqi side.

So it's better to be safe, even if you want to start a war with Xiqi again, you have to prepare well in advance, don't cause a total collapse because of the defeat of the general.

However, the Yuhua master and apprentice felt that Deng Jiugong was too guarded, and if he went down like this, when would they be able to capture Xiqi and report the royal order to Di Xin?

So within a few days, Yu Hua led people out of the camp without permission and took the initiative to find Xiqi to seek battle.

When Deng Jiugong found out, Yu Huadu had already returned to the camp, and he came to him with two bloody human heads in his hand.

"General Yu! What crime should you be guilty of leaving the camp with your troops without permission?! Deng Jiugong asked directly.

And Yu Hua was not afraid, just laughed lightly and said, "Marshal Deng, why are you so angry? The last general was just idle and panicked, so he led his troops out for a walk, and by the way, he beheaded a few Xiqi generals. ”

"The head of the Xiqi thief is here, and the marshal is also asked to take credit for the last general."

Yu Hua took a team of 1,000 people, quietly left the camp, and then sneaked all the way into the territory of Xiqi, but he really avoided the inspection of the Xiqi soldiers, went around to the rear, and ambushed a grain transportation team.

The grain transport team was caught off guard, and was defenseless, and was almost wiped out by the people brought by Yuhua, and the three grain governors were also beheaded by him, one was Chao Lei, who had surrendered to Xiqi before, and the other was Ji Shukun, one of the sons of Xibohou.

Only the last grain supervisor, Li Jing, saw that the situation was wrong, so he escaped and escaped.

Therefore, Yu Hua can be said to be satisfied now, and he is not afraid of Deng Jiugong's questioning, after all, although he went out of the camp privately, he also won the battle exploits.

Moreover, although Deng Jiugong is the marshal, he is not a general under Deng Jiugong, but a general at the same level as him, and he was only sent to reinforce this time, so if he is serious, as long as he is unwilling, Deng Jiugong will not want to command him.

In fact, although Deng Jiugong was angry that Yu Hua did not respect the order, he really had nothing to do with Yu Hua, at most he could only write what Yu Hua did in the battle report, and impeached him to Chao Ge and Di Xin.

"Hmph." Deng Jiugong snorted lightly and said: "General Yu, I will make a note of your military merits for killing two enemy generals in Xiqi, but if you attack without authorization, this commander will also write it in the battle report and report it to the king." ”

Yu Hua was not afraid of Deng Jiugong's impeachment, but said lightly: "Marshal Deng, you are wrong, not two generals, but three!" ”

"The former chief soldier of Chentangguan, the rebel general Li Jing, was also injured by the last general's blood divine knife, although he escaped by luck and saved the head of Xiang Shang, but the person who was beheaded by the last general's blood divine knife will die within a moment or three."

On the other side, the Xiqi camp.

Lu Zhi and the others were also surrounding Li Jing, who had already faked his death, discussing countermeasures.

It seems strange that this Li Jing seems to be born a 'bad general', since he came to Xiqi, whenever Xiqi and Chaoge are at war, as long as someone is captured and captured, he will definitely be among them.

This time, too, he was sent to transport grain and grass, but he was ambushed by the people of the merchant camp.

But then again, although Li Jing's luck was a little worse, but this life was indeed hard enough, the three grain transport officers who escorted the grain and grass, Chao Lei and Na Ji Shukun, were all killed on the spot, but Li Jing escaped by luck.

After he escaped back, he was immediately poisoned by the poison contained in the Blood Transformation God Knife, and fell into suspended animation, but fortunately, only he had a breath left, and Lu Zhi and the others could find a way to save him.

After Jiang Ziya checked Li Jing, he couldn't find any symptoms at all, and he couldn't even determine whether Li Jing was poisoned or what, and there was no way to save him, so he could only turn his head to Lu Zhi and ask tentatively.

"Marshal, do you have a way to cure General Li?"

Lu Zhi stepped forward to take a look at Li Jing, and also shook his head, he couldn't see what was wrong with Li Jing, so naturally there was no way to deal with it.

However, Li Jing's appearance is either poisoned or under some weird curse, otherwise he would not have become what he is now.

If this is the case, maybe you can try it with the golden pill given by Lao Jun to see if it can work.

After thinking about it, Lu Zhi turned to look at Muzha on the side, and instructed him: "Muzha, you go down and get a bowl of water, remember, you must be under the deep well, there is no trace of sunlight in the cold water, when you bring it back, you also need to find a way to cover the edge of the bowl, so that the well water does not see the light of day." ”

Mu Zha nodded in response: "Disciple understands." ”

After a short time, Muzha came back and took out a bowl of clear and translucent well water from his sleeve, which still exuded a little cold air.

Lu Zhi nodded, took out a golden pill, a yellow talisman, and first turned the yellow talisman into water, and under the intersection of yin and yang, it turned into a bowl of pale golden talisman water, and the room was suddenly full of incense.

"Muzha, give your father the golden pill with the runic water, at most half a cup of tea, and you will see."

Mu Zha hurriedly took the Jindan runic water and fed it to Li Jing, and then everyone quietly waited for the result.

After nearly 100 breaths, Li Jing, who was in suspended animation, suddenly opened his eyes and shouted: "Hurt me!" ”

Then he coughed violently and vomited out a mouthful of fishy, sticky black blood.

Mu Zha and the others were suddenly startled, thinking that something had happened, but Lu Zhi was relieved, and it seemed that the poison or curse on Li Jing's body had been lifted.

"Li Jing." Lu Zhi asked aloud, "What happened before?" Why did you escape with a serious injury? ”

When Li Jing heard this, he struggled and wanted to get up and bow to Lu Zhi: "Uncle Shi... Marshal, the last general is incompetent, he failed to complete the military order to transport grain and grass, and he was so tired that the whole grain transportation team was wiped out, and only Li Jing fled back alone... I hope that the marshal will be punished! ”

Lu Zhi waved his hand and said, "Punishment aside, let me ask you, who attacked our army's grain delivery team, and how were you injured?" ”
