Chapter 178: Surprise Attack

In the middle of the cold month, Gu Du took Dongfang Xia Lan back to Kangzhan Mountain.

Referring to Bu Qianqiu, Dongfang Xinghao said: "I know his father Bu Shenglin, why don't I write a letter in my hand, you send someone to him, he may help you." ”

Gu Du said: "Thank you father-in-law, but the younger son-in-law thinks that the old man Bu will expel Bu Qianqiu from the house, I am afraid that there is another deep meaning." ”

Dongfang Xinghao asked, "What do you mean?" ”

Gu Du replied: "The main purpose of the Kyaukyi Gate is cultivation, and it has always been safe and self-contained, and there are tens of thousands of disciples and family members, such a huge group, it is natural to be cautious when deciding. ”

"Now although I have a slight upper hand, but the Lingguo has a foundation of hundreds of years, solid as a rock, easy to break, Bu Qianqiu is young and vigorous, the blood is strong, respect me with the word affection and righteousness, but the old man is loyal and righteous, and he talks about faith and harmony, and I have a plan to starve food in the Lingguo, although it is a last resort, but it hurts the heavens and the peace, which is unkind and shameful for the old man."

"Presumably, the old man Bu is to give in to Qianqiu to come to me with his own body, if I can destroy the spirit country in my lifetime, then the Jiaoyi Gate is attached, and I can still enjoy peace. If I am not defeated by the Spirit Kingdom and retreat to the grassland, the prodigal son can also turn back, so that the Jiaoyimen will not be offended by the court. ”

Dongfang Xinghao smiled dumbly, and said with a whisker: "Reasonable." ”

Gu Du looked at Dongfang Xinghao and asked, "Father-in-law, my son-in-law has hurt countless people, I don't know what the retribution will be?" ”

Dongfang Xinghao replied: "Once the success is done, there is nothing wrong with cutting down the army and plotting, you don't need to worry too much." ”

After a pause, Dongfang Xinghao said again: "But unless it is absolutely necessary, we should still do more benevolent and righteous things." ”

Gu Duying said: "Yes, the son-in-law wrote it down." ”

Dongfang Xinghao asked, "What are you going to do next?" ”

Gu Du replied: "Step by step, cultivate national strength, and gather troops to fight." ”

Dongfang Xinghao nodded and said, "I'm tired, you can go by yourself." ”

Gu Du stood up and saluted and said, "Son-in-law retires." ”

After the fifteenth day of the plum moon at home, Gu Du and Dongfang Xia Lan were preparing to return, and before leaving, Dongfang Wen also carried a burden and said to Gu Du: "Mother asked me to help you." ”

Gu Du said, "Thank you." ”

glanced at it and asked, "Why don't you see the eldest brother?" ”

Dongfang Wen replied with a smile: "Big brother is angry, he also said that he would help you, but my mother said that he was reckless, and with you, there was no need for him to lead troops to fight, so I didn't let him go." ”

Gu Duxiao went to the main room to bid farewell to Dongfang Xinghao and his wife, and then set off.

At this time, the northeast riot of the Lingguo has been pacified, the army returned to the dynasty, stationed outside the imperial city, the Linghuang came to the dynasty and asked: "Now that the northeast riot has been calmed down, do you think you should fight?" ”

A few days later, Gu Du got the news that Lingguo had raised 150,000 troops and came to Linghe County.

Gu Du's deputy general Yang Zhong was strong in the wall, guarding Lingyu County, and he must not fight, and ordered Di Qiuhan to lead the disciples of Jue Lingmen to Rizhao Pass, and he himself rode Mo Xuan with Dongfang Xia Lan to Xia City.

Gu Du's biggest heart disease is Rizhao Pass, he led the army to break the Sunset Pass, Lancheng is facing the Zhenbei Pass, only the Rizhao Pass whip is beyond reach, if the Lingguo from the Rizhao Pass sends troops out of the pass, far away from the summer city and rushed to attack the imperial city of Zeguo, then he will have to return to the army to help.

Because the troops of Lan and Xia can't move, as long as they move, Zhenbei Pass will send troops to capture the city, and if Lan and Xia lose the two cities, Sunset Pass will be in danger.

If Sunset Pass is not guaranteed, then it is useless for him to occupy Lingyu County, but he will suffer from the enemy on his back, so Gu Du has been thinking about Sunset Pass, but he does not dare to move lightly.

There are tens of thousands of troops stationed in the Lingguo, and Rizhao Pass cannot be as easy to fight as Sunset Pass, if he leads the army to fight Rizhao Pass, it will not only waste military strength, but also expose his strategic intentions, so that things that the Spirit Emperor may not have expected to happen.

Therefore, Gu Du is waiting like the Linghuang, waiting for the Northeast riots to be quelled, the army is divided, and then he will pour troops to fight Lingyu County, so that he can cooperate with the outside of Juelingmen and quickly fight Rizhaoguan.

As early as the end of last year, Gu Du had already sent a message to the Imperial City to increase the number of troops to Xia Cheng by 50,000, although there were 30,000 defenders in Rizhao Pass, according to common sense, if you want to break through the pass, you need at least 80,000 troops, but there is a surprise attack from behind by Jue Lingmen, and there is no reinforcement to replenish, 50,000 troops are enough to break through.

If the sun is passed, it will become a trap, and every move of the Lingguo can be seen, and the imperial city of Zeguo will have no worries.

Before sending troops, Gu Du took the stage to worship the sky, knelt down and raised his wine glass and said loudly: "The sky is above!" My lord Emperor Ze is benevolent, with the way to cut down the non-way, with benevolence to help the world, pray for the blessing of God, give me the strength of the soldiers, a battle and the sun shines on the pass, so that my Ze country is forever! ”

Gu Du led the army to camp eighty miles away from Rizhao Pass, and then waited for a day to leave time for Di Qiuhan to arrange, and then led the army to hurry in the early morning of the next day, until the garrison was five miles before Rizhao Pass, burying the pot and cooking.

After receiving the report that the enemy army was coming, Tang Shuo, the Rizhao guard, hurriedly went to the city to watch, and saw the word Gu written on the flag of the Chinese army, and his heart was cold, wasn't Gu Du in Lingyu County? How did you get to Rizhaoguan?

After nearly ten years, Tang Shuo's temples also had a little more gray hair, and the scene of Chu Qin's three people falling into battle to win the commander appeared in front of him, recalling Gu Du's hungry wolf-like gaze, and looking like a demon after being covered in blood, Tang Shuo shuddered and comforted himself in his heart: It can't be Gu Du, the emperor raised 150,000 troops to attack Lingyu County, Gu Du must command the battle in Lingyu County, it is impossible to run to Rizhao Pass, this must be another general surnamed Gu.

An hour later, the Ze army marched slowly, Chen Bing closed, and Gu Du shouted loudly: "General Tang Shuo!" I'm Gu Du! The Spirit Emperor has no way, Emperor Ze is benevolent, and Zeguo Tianxin is unique, so he quickly switches and surrenders, so as not to make the soldiers slaughtered! ”

Tang Shuo's face turned pale, and he gritted his teeth.

Gu Du said: "Trebuchet." ”

The herald waved the command flag, and ten trebuchets pushed to the front of the formation, filled the canisters of fire and oil, and ignited and threw them. After more than a dozen rounds, Gu Du ordered: "Siege!" ”

The war drums were beating, the Rapid Wind Battalion rushed to the city wall, and Gu Du ordered again: "Light the beacon smoke!" ”

Three beacon smoke rose one after another, and the disciples of Juelingmen standing on the hillside blew the horn, Di Qiuhan and fifty disciples slid down the hanging rope, cleared the obstacles, opened the city gate, and two thousand disciples of Juelingmen rushed into Rizhao Pass.

This time, the disciples of the Jueling Sect were all wearing Zejun's armor, on the one hand, to be easy to identify, and on the other hand, to conceal their identities.

Jue Lingmen is a strange soldier, the book of soldiers has clouds, knows oneself and knows the enemy, and is invincible in a hundred battles, the Spirit Emperor does not know the existence of this strange soldier, so he cannot budget the battle situation.

In addition, the disciples of the Jueling Sect and the soldiers of the Rapid Wind Battalion all point to cinnabar, which is said in the Oriental language, cinnabar points, ghosts and gods are not taboo, although the actual effect is not ideal, but it does have a little effect, after being hit by the soul army, the person who nodded the cinnabar on his forehead, the time for convulsions of the whole body is greatly shortened.
