Chapter 93: Whether or not to use soldiers

Meng Yuan said: "Gu Du, you should know in your heart that at that time, the Spirit Emperor was furious, confiscated the Jade Dragon Bi, and destroyed the souls of Jin Lan and Chu Shuting. ”

Gu Du yelled: "Get out!" ”

Meng Yuan took out a small imperial soul box and said, "But the soul from the sea was left by the high priest. ”

Gu Duyi snatched it over and yelled again: "Get out!" If you don't get out, I'll kill you! ”

Meng Yuan turned around and left without a sound, and when he walked for a while, Gu Du reacted, could it be that Meng Yuan was here to send the soul from the sea? Could it be that the high priest wanted him to cultivate the soul servant?

Conghai dared to assassinate the Spirit Emperor empty-handed for him, maybe Conghai was willing to be a soul servant for him.

But why did the high priest help him? Could it be that Zhong Qi is the Zeguo meticulous work?

Li Xia lifted the quilt, looked at Gu Du and asked, "Zhong Qi is fine?" ”

Gu Du shook his head, this little thing alone can't be judged, maybe Zhong Qi pitied him, right? It was Jin Lan who was examined by Zhong Qi at the beginning, and now that the situation has calmed down, the Spirit Emperor has pardoned their sin of defection, and Chu Qin has become a priest again.

Gu Du said: "Maybe it's just because you pity me." ”

Lixia cried again, and Gu Du coaxed: "Don't cry, let's wait a while and cry again." ”

Rexia cried: "My father and mother are dead......

Gu Du patted her on the shoulder and coaxed: "Don't be too sad, I will be your relative in the future, and we will depend on each other." ”

"Daddy...... Mother ......" Rexia cried again.

Gu Du coaxed: "Senior sister, be obedient, don't cry like this, you are weak now, you can't cry like this, I am left with a relative like you, if you want to have another good one, I don't even have a person to talk to." ”

Meng Yuan returned to the south bank and walked back to Wu Renxiong to get on his horse, Wu Renxiong asked, "How?" ”

Meng Yuan turned his horse's head and replied flatly: "He told me to get out, and I will come back." ”

Wu Renxiong asked, "The Soul Army didn't come back?" ”

Meng Yuan replied, "No." Not only did I not come back, but my soul from the sea was also snatched away by Gu Du, and I was in the enemy camp and was powerless to resist. ”

Wu Renxiong's eyes flashed with a look of relief, and said: "Lord Meng is frightened, when I return to Guanzhong, I will give Lord Meng a drink to suppress the shock." ”

Meng Yuan replied expressionlessly, "Thank you, General." ”

A few days later, Meng Yuan returned to the imperial city and told the high priest about the situation, and the high priest went to meet the Linghuang again, and the Linghuang pondered for a long time and asked, "Zhong Qi, do you think you can use soldiers in the coming spring?" ”

The high priest replied, "The minister must first know the actual amount of money and grain, and how many soldiers the emperor wants to send." ”

The Spirit Emperor asked, "How many more people do you think there are in Zeguo?" ”

The high priest replied, "I think that the total number will not exceed 150,000, but not more than 200,000." ”

The Spirit Emperor nodded, and then asked, "How do you think they will be deployed?" ”

The high priest replied: "Emperor Ze should return to the steppe, if it is 150,000 horses, he should leave 30,000 guards, if it is 200,000, he should leave 50,000, so the enemy army will never exceed 150,000." ”

"And they will not be so stupid as to resist our army with only a boundary river that has not yet been diverted, and they will surely build a city twenty or thirty miles north of the boundary river, and at least two...... It should be two, and if there are more, the troops will be dispersed, and each city will have 5 to 70,000 troops, echoing each other. ”

The Spirit Emperor showed a sinister smile and said, "There is still 1.3 million stone of surplus grain in the treasury, and I want to raise 200,000 troops, what do you think?" ”

The high priest replied, "Excellent, the emperor will be able to fight a battle." ”

The Spirit Emperor said: "But 1.3 million stone grains can last for half a year at most, do you think you can destroy Zeguo in half a year?" ”

The high priest replied: "The minister thinks that the grasslands are vast and the ice fields are far away, and it is not easy to destroy the Ze country. ”

The Spirit Emperor nodded, thought for a while, and asked, "Gu Du and Li Xia, how much combat power will they help Zeguo?" ”

The high priest replied: "The minister thinks that it is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice, and the two of them have neither military merits nor prestige, and when they were on the border of Zhenbei Pass, they killed thousands of people in Zeguo, and the hearts of the people were turned back. ”

The Spirit Emperor smiled and asked, "This battle still needs Ai Qing to help in person." ”

The high priest said: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that this battle has not been encountered in a hundred years, and such a supernatural achievement should be given to a rising star like Chu Qin, who can create talents, so as to protect the emperor for eternity." ”

The Spirit Emperor looked at him and asked, "Aren't you worried about Chu Qin's relationship with Gu Du and Li Xia?" ”

The high priest replied: "The Chu family has received the emperor's favor and is in a high position, how can they not know the severity, at most they can't bear to take the lives of Gu Du and the others, but as long as the general trend has been decided, Gu Du and Lixia will also be like fish out of water, Ma Wucao, maybe Chu Qin is here, and the two of them can be summoned back to the Spirit Kingdom, so that they can repent of their past mistakes and serve the emperor again." ”

The Spirit Emperor smiled and nodded, and said: "Aiqing is really a pillar of the country, and I am very fortunate to have Aiqing, and I will discuss it tomorrow." ”

There is a mountain in the north-northwest, which is famous and stretches for hundreds of miles, like a dragon lying quietly.

There is a hidden sect in the mountain, named Jueling, with thousands of disciples, living in the mountains and self-sufficient, and has not appeared for two hundred years.

On the second watch of this night, the owner of the door, Dongfang Xinghao, stood on the top of the peak to watch the stars, and the youngest daughter Dongfang Xia Lan stood aside, also learning from her father's appearance with her hands behind her back, and looking at the starry sky with a pretty face that was still immature.

After a while, Dongfang Xia Lan said: "Father, Zeguo is dying, the Lingguo Monarch Star Dachang, the star will be bright, almost obscuring the monarch of Zeguo. ”

Dongfang Xinghao said: "No, although the Zeguo Monarch Star is dim, not far away, there are suddenly two more small stars arching guards, and the position of those two small stars is the position of the main general." ”

Dongfang Xia Lan looked at it for a while, and said in a disdainful tone: "That's useless, its strength is too weak to rely on." ”

Dongfang Xinghao stopped talking.

After a while, Dongfang Xia Lan exclaimed, "Huh? Why are there so many small stars all of a sudden, and they are all from the side of the Zeguo General's star, and the Zeguo Junxing is no longer obscure, what's going on? The color changes in an instant, it is really a magnificent scene! ”

Dongfang Xinghao said: "It's because my father's mind has been decided, since Zeguo already has a main general, I feel that Lingmen should also be born." ”

Dongfang Xia Lan looked at Dongfang Xinghao in amazement and asked, "Why do you want to help Zeguo?" If you help the spirit country, you can decide a war and return the world to peace. ”

Dongfang Xinghao smiled and said: "Look at this celestial phenomenon, the Lingguo monarch star is too prosperous, the reigning monarch is by no means a benevolent lord, and the people have this lord, even if there is no war, there will be hard labor." ”

"On the other hand, the monarch of Zeguo, its light is quiet and soft, although it is dim, but it is extremely resolute, there is a lord like this, the people can be in peace, and the world can be peaceful."
