They hired two wagons and headed straight for the capital.

Eight days later, the carriage sent them directly to the gate of Marshal Dugu's mansion, and after the guards went in to report, Dugu Li came out to greet them, and after Dugu Li settled the others, he led Li Yidong to see Dugu Yishi. Dugu Yishi led Li Yidong into the secret room, and Dugu Li also went out after taking the door. Dugu Yishi said: "I basically understand Master Li's situation, some of your experiences are similar to mine, we are all poor people who have suffered hardships. But now it's okay, you see that I have become the generalissimo of soldiers and horses, and I want to ascend to the immortal with you. "Dengxian?" Li Yidong shouted.

"That's right," Dugu Yishi said with a smile, "You and I are both favored by the Great Immortal." I'll tell you more about it later, but now I'll say a few words. A month ago, the Void Martial Heavenly God who fell outside the heavens found me and asked me to take you to the Void Mountain, and he would take us to ascend to the Immortals and go to the dark kingdom of the Outer Heavens. The Kingdom of Darkness is a country where immortals and mortals live together. In Biyun Mansion, the kingdom's workers, there is a powerful army called the Zujia Army. The Zujia Army is one of the four powerful forces of the kingdom, and the supreme commander is General Zu Yong. The two of us went to General Zu Yong's military camp first, and prepared for the unification of the Dark Kingdom by our supreme leader, who will be the king and sage of the Dark Kingdom in the future. ”

Li Yidong said: "In this way, I am blessed to have two blessings, not only to ascend to Tianzi Hall for Tian Shelang, but also to ascend to heaven in one step." ”

Dugu Yishi said: "Yes, that's it." Now let's go to Xushan, and along the way, we will go to the villages and market towns along the way, and by the way, we will tell you the story of the ancestral army and General Zu Yong. "Readers, let's listen to the story of General Zu Yong.

Zu Yong is the second son of the Zu Governor of the Workers' Jade Mansion, 30 years old, his wife Liu Yiting, 29 years old, the couple has two sons and a daughter, the eldest son is 10 years old, the younger child is 6 years old, and the daughter is 2 years old. Zu Yong catches the head of the Jade Mansion, and has good martial arts, Liu Yiting was born in a martial arts family and is a famous woman. The husband and wife sang and sang the harmony between the husband and wife, and worked together to manage the security of the Jade Mansion in an orderly and orderly manner.

One morning, the Zu Governor's Mansion called Zu Yong into his study and showed him the patriarch's order to transfer troops to Biyun Mansion. Zu Yong looked at it, frowned and said: "The Hua Clan has started a war with us? These people in power are just careless of human life, and for their own selfishness, they act arbitrarily and recklessly, stirring up trouble, and do not hesitate to meet each other with swords. I took pity on the innocent people, and I wanted my wives to be separated, and my flesh and blood were separated. The ancestral prefect said, "Then what can be done? We can't stop the war." You will issue a proclamation today to recruit troops from the civilian population. In addition to our generals, we must also assign some commanders to serve as leaders at all levels of the new army, and we must firmly grasp the command of our own army. ”

Zu Yong returned to his house and told his wife Liu Nuxia the orders of the patriarch and the Zu Governor's Mansion, and the two discussed the formation of an army. In the afternoon, the catchers posted the conscription notice in front of the government office. And set up a recruit recruitment office at the gate to accept capable people and ordinary people to sign up to join the army.

By the third day of registration, the number of applicants had reached 120,000. When Zu Yong came to the registration office, the common people surrounded him and said: "General Zu, the children have been entrusted to you, you must take care of them for us! We are all waiting for them to come back safely." Zu Yong's mood was very heavy, and he said solemnly: "Fathers and fellow villagers, Zu is fighting for his life, and he must send your children back one by one safely." Don't worry. ”

Three days later, Zu Yong, Liu Yiting and his wife led 200,000 ancestral troops to Liuyi Mansion, an important town in the north of the workers, and the Hua army had crossed the border and entered the outside of Liuyi Mansion. That night, Zu Yong and Liu Yiting attended a military meeting of Zhang Xiong, commander of the workers' army. When the enemy soldiers approached the city, Zhang Xiong was under great pressure, and he said in frustration: "Generals, Zhang is incompetent and ineffective in resisting the enemy, causing the enemy to invade the territory of our clan. I am willing to take the blame and resign, and you can nominate a good person to take over my position as commander-in-chief. The generals looked at each other, and no one spoke for a long time. Zu Yong did not expect that the morale of his army would be so low that even the supreme commander would have to resign, which would shake the morale of the army! He said aloud: "Zhang Shuai, generals, our army has not yet been completely defeated, and there is still a chance to defeat the enemy. We are increasing our troops, and our provinces have sufficient troops, which is our source of strength. My 200,000 ancestral army is willing to fight as a vanguard, not afraid of sacrifice for the safety of our clan, and bravely kill the enemy. Zhang Xiong said sincerely: "General Zu is really the pillar of our clan, and Zhang is ashamed that he is not qualified for the post of commander." In this way, General Lao will go out of the city tomorrow to attack the enemy. According to the outposts of our army, the total strength of the enemy army is about 1.8 million. And the strength of our army is 1.5 million. The number of troops is not the most disadvantageous, but the most disadvantageous is the fact that our army has many temporary recruits, and the recruits lack military training. The enemy is obviously well trained in military affairs, so he can quickly defeat the border guards of our army, and even conquer the two provinces of our people, and invade here. My personal suggestion is that in the face of a strong enemy and a weak military situation, our army should focus on defense and rely on Jincheng Yuchi to hold on. At the same time, he asked for help from the neighboring mountain tribes. The Hua clan has obviously been plotting for a long time, and wants to annex other tribes by force. Otherwise, why is its army so strong?" Sima Jiandao, the general of Liuyi Mansion, said: "What Zhang Shuai said is extremely true, I also advocate sticking to and waiting for help, and our army should not go out of the city to attack the enemy!"

Zu Yong said: "Soldiers take obedience to orders as their duty. The Hua Clan is a country full of flowers, and the people there should be the people who pursue the most beauty and defend peace, but why did they ignite the flames of war and invade their neighbors, I think it must be that the people in charge of the military power of the Hua Clan are bad people, and they order the three armies to realize their ambitions under the banner of the country. And their ambitions are not visible, if we expose their ambitions and let the vast number of soldiers of the Hua Clan know that the invasion of other countries is only to realize the ambitions of the bad guys, they will definitely turn against each other. I also agree with the strategy of sticking to the waiting for help, and it is also feasible to ask the mountain tribe for help. But I think it's best to start from within the enemy's army. Expose the conspiracy and ambition of the bad guys of the Hua clan from within the enemy army, and at the same time win over some of the enemy's generals to join our army, so that they can surrender without a fight. ”

Jiangdong Mansion General Yang Xiaowu said: "Although General Zu's strategy is good, it is only on paper, and it is almost impossible to succeed. We are all leading troops, and how to firmly control our own army is the first major task in governing the army. Not to mention the placement of one's relatives, friends, and cronies in important posts in the army, even if a few posts have to be placed as a last resort, the family members of the generals in this peripheral line are strictly controlled in the rear, so as to control the absolute leadership of the army. With such a strict and seamless prevention and control system, Yang doesn't know where General Zu started to dismantle the anti-enemy army?"
