Chapter 196: The Reason for the Fiasco

Spring went to autumn, and after more than half a year, Emperor Linghuang was sure that Gu Du also had no soldiers, because Gu Du had been standing still and guarding the governance of Linghe County.

But the Linghuang knew very well that the next target of loneliness was Lingyi County.

Lingyi County is in the south of Zhenbei Pass, more than 100 miles away from Zhenbei Pass, the materials that should be transported to Zhenbei Pass must pass through Lingyi County, once Lingyi County is lost, Zhenbei Pass will become a turtle in the urn, no need to fight, the defenders will starve to death.

Although Emperor Linghuang had already transferred 20,000 troops from Zhenbei Pass to be stationed in Lingyi County, he still had no bottom in his heart, after all, Gu Du was far beyond his imagination, and he knew that this was the case, he would never take Gu Du back then.

But it's too late to say this, and what the Spirit Emperor is puzzled about now is, why can no one kill Gu Du? Could it be that Gu Du really can't be killed? Or is his reward not tempting enough?

Jing Xuezhai is also unreliable, although the recapture of Rizhao Pass, but did not prevent Zeguo from garrisoning troops north of Rizhao Pass to build a city, in fact, Lingguo is still sandwiched by Zeguo in the south of the boundary river.

And now that Linghe County has been lost, the so-called strange soldiers have not achieved the ideal effect of the Linghuang.

The Spirit Emperor called Zhong Qi over and asked, "Can no one in the world kill Gu Du?" ”

Zhong Qi replied: "The strongest spiritual power in the Imperial Soul Division is Dongfang Xuan, and below it is Chu Qin, Chu Qin can't kill Gu Du, and no one in the Imperial Soul Division can kill Gu Du." As for the people on the rivers and lakes, the ministers really don't know. ”

The Spirit Emperor frowned and said, "Dongfang Xuan? The person with the strongest spiritual power in the Imperial Soul Division is actually just a child attendant? Why? ”

Zhong Qi replied: "The minister doesn't know, the minister also asked the former high priest Xu Zhao back then, and Xu Zhao only said that Dongfang Xuan was unwilling to be promoted. ”

The Spirit Emperor sighed and asked, "Aren't you okay either?" ”

Zhong Qi replied: "The minister can't do it, whether it is spiritual power or martial arts, the minister can't compare to Chu Qin." ”

The Spirit Emperor was silent, this is really a good reincarnation of the Heavenly Dao, Dongfang Xuan isolated himself from Zhenbei Pass because of his private release of Gu Du and Lixia, and Gu Du became the commander of Zeguo.

The Spirit Emperor asked, "Is the Spirit Kingdom really exhausted?" ”

Zhong Qi replied: "The emperor doesn't need to be discouraged, the spirit country is so big, how can it be invaded overnight?" The emperor must not count the victory or defeat for a while, he should keep his light and accumulate troops, the more cities Gu monopolizes the city, the more troops will be consumed, how many people can Zeguo have? There will always be times when he can't help. ”

After a pause, Zhong Qi said again: "Besides, the situation changes at any time, the years are ruthless, Gu Du is already nearly thirty years old, how long can he fight like this, city by city?" Unless he can advance to the pinnacle realm, it will be difficult to break into the imperial city. ”

The Spirit Emperor sneered and said, "If he can advance to the peak realm, there is no need to fight anymore, although my palace is heavily guarded, it can't stop the peak soul master, he will come to kill me." ”

Zhong Qi said: "The emperor has said that although the peak realm is strong, it is not a god after all, and the peak realm, how can it be easy to cultivate?" ”

The Spirit Emperor was silent for a moment and asked, "In this way, you also agree with Chu Qin's strategy, and it is appropriate to temporarily avoid the edge of the Ze army and retreat?" ”

Zhong Qi said: "Your Majesty, the minister has a word to play, and he must first ask the emperor for forgiveness." ”

The Spirit Emperor nodded and said, "You can be blunt, forgive your innocence." ”

Zhong Qi said: "The ministers thought that Chu Qin's defeat was not a crime of war, but a lack of mental strength. ”

Zhong Qi said that Chu Qin is not as good as Gu Du in too many places, Gu Duquan leans towards the government and the opposition, and has the power of life and death in his hands, and he can fight as much as he wants, but Chu Qin has a number of generals who are restrained, although Chu Qin is the commander, it is difficult to prohibit it.

In addition, Gu Du dared to lose, and Chu Qin did not dare to lose. Gu Du was defeated, and after resting, he started all over again, and he didn't need to explain to anyone, including Zedi. Chu Qin, on the other hand, is different, and has to think too much.

In the battle of Linghe County, if Chu Qin can't hold out, he won't give him the opportunity to blend into the city, Gu Du wants to take the city, he will inevitably lose several times the Ze army of the Ling army, and even if Chu Qin can't hold it, he can also clear the wilderness, retreat calmly, and then counterattack after Gu Du occupies the city.

But Chu Qin didn't dare to fight like this, so he was defeated so completely.

The Spirit Emperor frowned and pondered for a long time, then called, "Someone." ”

Huang Zhen, the chamberlain, walked in quickly and responded, "Your Majesty." ”

The Spirit Emperor said, "Call Chu Qin to come to see me." ”

Chu Qin has lived quite comfortably for most of the past half a year, learning the art of Qimen, teaching two children, and taking turns to accompany the two daughters-in-law, Zhong Jinling also showed her arms, and the family was happy, and no one mentioned the war.

Huang Zhen came to summon Chu Qin, Shangguan He's heart rose again, and when Chu Qin followed Huang Zhen away, Shangguan He went to ask Zhong Jinling: "Is there another war?" ”

Zhong Jinling replied, "I don't know...... Didn't the husband say that he couldn't fight in three or five years? I'm like this, how can I fight with him? ”

Shangguan He frowned and said, "Just now, the inner servant came and called him away again, saying that the emperor wanted to see him." ”

Zhong Jinling also frowned, and said angrily: "I said that I won't have children first, and you won't listen to me, what if there is another war?" ”

Shangguan He said: "Women shouldn't go into battle, Lixia won't go into battle when she becomes the queen, she is much more powerful than you." ”

Zhong Jinling glared, and Shangguan He hurriedly coaxed: "Okay, I said it wrong, you are better than her, you are two of her." ”

Zhong Jinling snorted and rolled her eyes.

Chu Qin arrived at the inner hall, saluted, and gave a seat, and the Linghuang said: "The defeat of Linghe County is not your fault, it is my fault." ”

Chu Qin was stunned for a moment, and the Spirit Emperor said again: "Let you bear it for me, I have wronged you." ”

Chu Qin kowtowed and said, "The minister is afraid." ”

The Spirit Emperor said, "That's why. ”

Chu Qin frowned slightly, and the Spirit Emperor continued: "You are too frightened, so you caused the fiasco of Linghe County. ”

Chu Qin fell to the ground, and he didn't make a sound, and the Spirit Emperor said, "Calm down." ”

Chu Qin responded: "Emperor Xie." ”

Chu Qin straightened up, and the Spirit Emperor asked, "According to what do you think, what will Gu Du do next?" When will it be done? ”

Chu Qin replied: "The minister thinks that Gu Du will take Lingyi County next and cut off the supply of grain and grass in Zhenbei Pass, as for the time, the minister does not dare to be sure, but he will not do it within a year, his troops are insufficient, even if he takes Lingyi County, he will not be able to hold it." ”

The Spirit Emperor said: "Okay, you rest for another year, and when the autumn comes, I will give you the right to live and die, and allow you to act cheaply." ”

Linghe County, since Emperor Ze issued an edict to recruit blacksmith apprentices from all over the country, there has been an endless stream of people who come to Linghe County to apprentice, but there are only two who can really make Tie Heng look at them.

However, according to Gu Du's instructions, Tie Jue will teach as long as someone comes, because it is a good thing that there are more blacksmiths, if you want to fight, you must have weapons, not everyone has to use a treasure knife and a sharp blade, and you also have to create a spear head and arrowhead.

In half a year, Gu Du's army had accumulated more than one million arrows, and Gu Du began to think about fighting Lingyi County again.
