But whether it was Changya or Loess, even the Gonggong didn't have too many troops in his hands, so he thought for a moment before he said slowly: "No, you should send an order to Qin Yuan first, and let him take the new army he trained to fight the Loess Changya first." ”。

At this moment, although the southeast has been decided, it is only preliminary, and trivial matters such as restoring order on the Howling Wind Plain, guarding the borders, and maintaining law and order all require a large number of elite soldiers, so the army that Xiao Shizhu can deploy at hand is only the 50,000 new troops that Qin Yuan recruited and trained in Shizhu City.

When he finished speaking, he recalled in his mind the terrain of Zhurong Kingdom on the map of the ten continents of the underworld, and after pondering for a long time, he said to the patriarch of the fungus people: "Let Qin Yuan set off immediately after gathering the army, and after the round with the army of Changya, divide the new army into two, of which 20,000 will be handed over to Changya, and he will lead the departure from Chongming County, and quickly occupy all the towns and villages that have been uncovered after entering Bifang County, and you can't go further." ”。

"The main tasks are to train troops on the spot, stabilize the mood of the local people, restore local public order and defend against Wu Hui's counterattack. Xiao Shizhu paused, and then advised: "The remaining 30,000 are led by Qin Yuan, starting from Chongming County to Xinghuo County, and after the round with the infantry corps of the Water Division, they will enter the Yuhuo County in the northwest of Zhurong Country from east to west, and the task is the same as that of Changya." ”。

After Xiao Shizhu finished speaking, after muttering for a while, he felt that there were too few places to defend in the Zhuzhu County where the Gonggong was located, so he hurriedly explained: "Gonggong Loess is not moving, just stick to the Zhuzhu County and the Moth Valley." ”。

However, he was unwilling to give up control of Yansai County in the south of Zhuzhu County, and asked again: "Hasn't Chihuo also been training new troops in Juxing County?

The patriarch of the fungus people hurriedly recalled the intelligence news he had taken over, and said thoughtfully: "There are about 10,000 infantry, and 5,000 cavalry." It's all a road rider selected by Lord Lu Wu.* came out. ”。

"Let him continue to guard Juxing County, but his 20,000 recruits, led by his lieutenant general, Hu Vulture, will enter Yansai County, and the mission will be the same as that of other generals. Xiao Shizhu said without thinking.

The reason why this was done was also to prepare for the future expedition against Du Ziren.

Although the Yansai County of Zhurong State is also bare, the terrain is rocky and cloud-blocking, ravines and ravines, and the lower stream from the northwest to the southeast converges into a river at the boundary of Du Ziren, and these small streams and rivers can make the warships of the land and water division of Jiuyou go south and easily enter the enemy territory. And the county is mountainous and steep, and many areas are mountain passes and valleys that are difficult to open.

If such a good offensive springboard is not taken down first, and priority is given to stabilizing the local area and restoring order and economy, then the war with Du Ziren will be postponed.

Xiao Shizhu would not let go of such a good opportunity, so he came up with a way to use the new army to occupy this county. Although it is a new army, Hu Wuhu is a veteran of the Xiao family's army, steady and cautious, plus there is red fire as the backing, and there is loess and co-workers in the north as the aid, sending him to occupy Yansai County, it is not a problem to take advantage of the geographical advantages of the county to hold on.

At the moment, he added: "Tell the bearded vulture that when encountering a mountain pass and a valley with a majestic mountain and a steep road, he will choose an important place to build a pass turret. ”。

"No. The patriarch of the fungus man answered, and was about to turn around to do it, but Xiao Shizhu remembered something and hurriedly stopped him.

"In this war with Wu Hui, your family has made a lot of contributions, and I promised to give you a surname, and now it's time to honor it. Xiao Shizhu looked at the patriarch, pondered, and thought in his mind that the fungus people could travel thousands of miles a day, and after coming and going quickly, he had a flash of inspiration, and said in a cut voice: "Just give the surname 'God', a magical god." ”。

He never dreamed that Xiao Shizhu would not only get rid of the fate of their clan eventually becoming a tonic, but also let them have their own surnames like human souls and demon souls.

At the moment, he trembled a few times with excitement, bent Xiao Shizhu's knees, knelt down and kowtowed, and said in a trembling voice: "Thank you, lord!"

"Alright. Xiao Shizhu was the least accustomed to dealing with this kind of thing, so he waved his hand impatiently, pretending to be angry: "I don't need to kneel under my rule, put away your noble knees, lift your noble head, and go and do what you have to do, I will thank you for the whole family." ”。

The smiling mushroom patriarch got up, wiped the snot and tears on his face, thanked him again, and then turned around and trotted away.

Looking at his distant back, Xiao Shizhu shook his head and sighed lightly, then raised the corners of his mouth and smiled lightly.

"My lord, you have done another good deed, and you have done it so naturally, it is much greater than those princes and kings of the underworld who are working hard for their own food and clothing, but shouting for the well-being of the people. Fan Jinhong, who was full of admiration, stepped forward and said respectfully.

"Isn't there one, don't I also have brocade clothes and jade food?" Xiao Shizhu looked down at himself, and saw that the silk robe he was wearing was also made of the skin cocoon of the silkworm horse beast soul in the underworld, where the horse skin can be turned into a cocoon, and the smooth and delicate embroidery patterns on it were all embroidered with the best colorful silk, and after embroidering it with the lock embroidery method, he turned his head and glanced at Fan Jinhong, and asked leisurely: "Is this a good deed?" The smile on his face has never faded......

Wu Hui, who fled back to Bifang County, failed to change his original embarrassment. The leaflets with conclusive evidence that the Nine Shadows Kingdom distributed to his country were like a stone stirring up a thousand waves. In addition, in order to consolidate the throne, Wu Hui catered to the slaughter of the little ghosts in the country by Emperor Xudu, which made him deviate from morality.

On this day and night, Wu Hui, whose face was full of distress, sat alone in the Xuanhuo Palace, frowning and listening to the crickets in the grass and stones in the dark night outside the hall, and he was even more upset.

Recently, even the surrounding area of Bifang City has begun to be turbulent. Although he did not dare to blatantly break away from his rule like other counties, Wu Hui could also see that there were many grievances among the people in Bifang City.

Therefore, he shrank in the palace every day, not daring to go out. I'm afraid that I'm also plotted.

"Ahem. Wu Hui, who had been angry for a long time about these troubles, suddenly coughed a few times, and suddenly felt that it was a mistake to rush to war with Xiao Shizhu, and couldn't help but sigh at the moment.

"Father. When the sigh fell to the ground, the beans in the stone lamp on the table shook a few times, and Wu Hui's son Changfeng entered in response, holding a bowl of meat porridge in his hand: "Eat some, you haven't eaten for a day." ”。

As he spoke, he walked to the table and stood still, and gently put the meat porridge on the table in front of Wu Hui.

"Long wind. Wu Hui showed a bitter smile, picked up the spoon and slowly stirred the porridge, and asked, "Do you say that this king is wrong? Maybe he shouldn't start a war with Xiao Shizhu?"

Changfeng frowned slightly, and after thinking for a moment, he replied cautiously: "Maybe it's right, after all, the side of the couch will not allow him to snore and sleep." In the past, it was only a co-worker, so there was nothing to be afraid of, but Xiao Shizhu was cunning and powerful, ......".

Before he finished speaking, he heard a noise in the distance outside the hall, and immediately shut up, turned around and walked a few steps forward, staring at the dark night outside the hall, those trees and flowers, and the shadows of the rockery hall frowned again.

Wu Hui also put down the spoon and raised his eyes to look out of the gate of the hall in front of him, in the night wind, in the ever-changing form of the tree shadows, there seemed to be a hidden crisis that could not be seen or touched, and Wu Hui, who made him frown like Changfeng, flashed a trace of vigilance in his eyes.

The noise was getting closer and closer, and it was even more harsh. Wu Hui and Changfeng listened carefully, and after a while, they all heard that among these noisy sounds, there were faint scolding and screams, intertwined with the sound of metal colliding, and Wu Hui, who suddenly felt bad, blurted out: "Not good!" After standing up suddenly.

He looked at him angrily, a little anger appeared in his round eyes, and he roared in a deep voice: "It's a mutiny!"

As soon as the words came out, I heard a "whoosh" sound breaking through the air, sounding one after another from outside the hall, followed by three or five dazzling cold lights that pierced the air, shooting towards Wu Hui.

"Father, be careful. Seeing that the cold light was close at hand, Wu Hui hadn't made any moves, Changfeng had already dodged, jumped in front of him, straightened up his strong chest, and met those cold lights without hesitation.

In an instant, Changfeng snorted, and five arrows were already inserted into his chest. Five openings were torn in the back of the robe, and five bloody mugwort leaf-shaped arrows pierced out of the openings.

Looking at the arrow with the blood on it, engraved with Zhu Rong's heavenly fire pattern, Wu Hui suddenly knew that there was a ghost who came to avenge Zhu Rong and Changqin. was shocked and angry, but saw that his son's front and back were bleeding, and Wu Hui, who had been on the battlefield for many years, was also at a loss.

There were a few curses outside the hall, and at the same time, where the arrows shot out before, a few sword light sword flowers flashed in the darkness, and a terrible scream sounded.

Changfeng's Adam's apple moved, and a mouthful of black blood came out, and the arrow was obviously soaked in poison. At this time, the toxin had already penetrated into his bones, flowing all over his body meridians and internal organs, even if the ancient gods were alive, he was afraid that he would not be able to return to the sky.

"Long wind. Wu Hui came to his senses slightly, didn't care about anything else, jumped up with a pestle in one hand, jumped over the stone table and stood beside his son, holding Changfeng's limp body, and howling angrily with tears: "Ghost Imperial Doctor, quickly pass on the Ghost Imperial Doctor."

In response, there were several guards carrying blood-dripping swords, and the assassin was killed by them, but when they entered the main hall, they saw a panicked Wu Hui and Changfeng's chest full of new blood.

After being stunned for a moment, the ghost of the leader suddenly said softly: "King, half of the forbidden army and Bi Fangjun have rebelled, and we will come to escort you out of the palace for refuge!"

"Run. And it was also the long wind that was holding his last breath, and after hearing the words, he struggled to push away the stunned Wu Hui.
