Chapter 916: The Terrible Lucius

When King Jinpeng and King Zen Elephant were discussing how to make a detour to attack Songjiang City, Zimo had already taken the token to the position of the demon army in front of him, and raised the token with the blessing of the two demon kings in his hand, he naturally entered the position of the demon army very easily, and was recognized by the demon clan.

Although the demon warriors on the front line were very puzzled, why the two demon kings would send a human race as the commander of their 300,000 demon clans, but the token of the demon king was there, and they could only suppress their hearts if they were puzzled.

Zimo didn't immediately let the army attack, but gathered the demon clan generals who participated in the battle and began to ask them about every detail of their previous battles.

"Your forces are obviously more than the other side, but you seem to have lost in the end, and you have been suppressed by the other side, and there is no way to continue the attack, why is this?

The demon clan generals present looked at each other, and then a demon clan general first stood up and said: "General, in fact, we can't be completely blamed for this matter, we can be regarded as doing our best, but those human clans are too cunning, and the weapons in their hands are better than ours, we really have no choice." ”

"yes, their equipment is so good, those strange weapons and equipment provide them with too much convenience, and it is too difficult for us to defeat them. ”

Hearing the gossip of the demon clan generals, almost all of which focused on the other party's weapons and equipment, Zimo couldn't help but feel a little curious, and couldn't help but interrupt the generals present and said, "You just said that their weapons and equipment are much better than yours, what kind of weapons and equipment are they?"

The general who spoke first before stood up and said: "Those equipment looks very simple, but it can exert a very powerful power, just like the small round shield in the hands of the Demon Emperor's heir to lead those demon warriors, it looks like an ordinary round shield, but it can release a strange barrier. ”

Then another general took over and said, "Yes, those barriers are transparent, and can only be seen faintly when facing the sun. And if our attacks hit those barriers, they will not do anything at all, and those barriers can neutralize ninety percent of our attacks. ”

"And if our attack is neutralized, we will naturally be completely exposed to the other side, and many fighters are killed by the other side in this way, and we have no way at all. ”

Hearing what the demon clan generals said, Zimo suddenly realized that the army that blocked the fairy realm and the demon clan of the Buddha Kingdom was not because of a hot head and took the initiative to attack.

Obviously, the other party has something to rely on, just like the weapons and equipment that the demon clan general said. Weapons and equipment that can exert such terrifying power, in Zimo's impression, the most powerful foundry in the Tang Empire cannot make such weapons and equipment.

Zimo didn't understand, where did the weapons and equipment that those demon clan generals said come from, how could they suddenly have such a powerful thing?

After lowering his head and thinking for a moment, a figure suddenly popped up in Zimo's mind, the guy from the West, the person who took the initiative to ask Ying to deal with the demon clan - Lucius.

Lecius came to mind. Zimo suddenly seemed to understand that the person who was now guarding Songjiang City was Du Liniang, and he also returned from the West with Lu Xius, so how could Lu Xius let Du Li Niang take a risk?

Apparently. The weapons and equipment equipped with the army blocking the road ahead should be left behind by Lucius, and it should be the so-called mechanical equipment made by Lucius.

The official was very direct, bowing his head without being humble or arrogant, and said, "Your Majesty." Niangniang, now the war in Jiangnan has lasted for half a year, but Jiangnan has not been recaptured from the demon clan so far. Wei Chen thinks, should we send people to negotiate with the demon clan?"

Hearing this, the Holy Emperor frowned slightly, looked at the official, and asked in a deep voice, "Why do you think we should negotiate with the Demon Clan?" It seems that now we are still in control of Songjiang City, and the Demon Clan seems to be at a disadvantage in Jiangnan, right?"

The official didn't expect that Jiangnan would be in such a situation, in fact, he and several officials wanted to break the silence in the court, completely wanting to show merit to the three sects.

It's just that they themselves are civil officials, and the news in Jiangnan is very closed now, so they don't know about the war in Jiangnan, and when they see that the two saints are resigned to the silence in the court, they take it for granted that the war in Jiangnan has failed, so the two saints will let the three instigation officials be so presumptuous.

But now after listening to the Holy Emperor's words, the officials immediately understood that they were probably mistaken, and the war in Jiangnan was still in the upper hand of the Tang Empire for the time being.

In particular, I heard that Songjiang Castle was in the hands of the imperial court, and although this official did not understand the use of soldiers, he also knew that Songjiang Castle was an important place along with Jiangnan and Jiangbei, and if he wanted to pass through Guò Tianjiang safely, he had to pass through Songjiang Castle.

And once Songjiang City is controlled, it means that the imperial court has the right to control the entire Jiangnan war situation, and the initiative is completely in the hands of the Tang Empire.

At this moment, the official who stood up couldn't help but secretly think that he was really too careless, and he didn't even understand the current situation, so he stood up and wanted to provoke the second saint.

Seeing that the official bowed his head and was silent, the Holy Emperor sneered and said: "Aiqing, if you don't mention it, I almost forgot about it, now the situation in Jiangnan has basically stabilized, Songjiang City, Linjiang City and Wangjiang City are all in the hands of the southern soldiers, why did I order you to send troops to help several times, but I didn't see the reinforcements arrive in Songjiang City?"

As soon as the Holy Emperor's words came out, all the officials in the court were silent, and the Holy Emperor continued to sneer and said, "What's the matter? Are all of you Aiqing dumb when you mention this matter? Didn't you all be interested in discussing Jiangnan with me just now?"

Although the Holy Emperor made his attitude clear, the civil and military officials present were still silent, and planned to continue to use the previous method, that is, to deal with the two saints with silence.

But this time, the Holy Emperor seemed to have confidence, and actually said in a deep voice: "You still want to use silence to deal with me? ”

The soldier who stood up before raised his head in a panic and opened his mouth to argue something, but before he could speak, the soldiers of the forbidden army outside the main hall had already walked in, directly set him up, and walked towards the outside of the main hall, looking like he was really going to withdraw and cut him down.

Seeing that the forbidden army had moved the real character, the soldier finally understood, it turned out that the Holy Emperor was not joking, and hurriedly cried and shouted: "Majesty, Majesty, minister, minister doesn't mean that, the minister has something to say, Majesty, Majesty ......."

Seeing this, the Holy Emperor waved his hand and said, "Oh, do you have anything to say?" ”

The soldier was released by the forbidden army, and then quickly knelt on the ground and said: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that sending troops to aid Songjiang City is a decision discussed between His Majesty and the ministers, but now there is a delay in seeing the reinforcements arrive in Songjiang City, which must be boring, and the minister thinks that it should be thoroughly investigated." ”

Seeing that the direction of the wind of the military department had changed so quickly, the Holy Emperor suddenly grinned, thinking of the kind of depression he had been holding for the past few days, and finally opening a breakthrough at this moment, he immediately felt very happy.

smiled and nodded, "Yes, yes, you are right, so Aiqing, how do you think this matter should be thoroughly investigated?"

The soldier squire knew that it was difficult to ride a tiger now, and if he didn't show his attitude, he might really be pulled out and cut down by the Holy Emperor.

You must know that this time is not as good as before, the previous ministers all chose to be silent, the so-called sin is not as good as the public, and the Holy Emperor and the Holy Queen have no way to take everyone.

But the current situation is different, he first stood up and became the first bird, and he stood up without figuring out the situation, and now the situation is obviously controlled by the Holy Emperor and the Holy Empress, if he can't say why, then I'm afraid he will really be cut down.

At this time, even if he is cut by the two saints, no one will stand up to help him, and there is only one way to survive, that is, to change his camp and choose to speak for the two saints.

Although doing so would offend the Three Sects, it was important to protect his head at this time, and he couldn't care about anything else, so he could only follow the Second Sage to speak first.

So, after lowering his head and pondering for a moment, the squire of the military department spoke: "Your Majesty, Weichen thinks that this matter should first start with the military department, and at the same time, it is also necessary to check some people in Chang'an City recently, especially some civil forces under the command of the three sects. ”

The Holy Emperor and the Holy Empress glanced at each other, and then looked at the soldier squire, unable to believe that the other party dared to say such a thing in the court.

In particular, the other party's plan for a thorough investigation can be said to be very comprehensive, almost taking into account suspicious people and things, and it can be said that as long as this plan is implemented, then the three religions will inevitably make concessions.

Because, if the three religions do not give in, they will inevitably be condemned by the people, and at that time, the three religions that have lost the support of the people will no longer be able to threaten the Tang Empire.

The second saint couldn't help but be a little impressed by the squire of the military department, and he couldn't imagine that the other party usually looked inconspicuous, and when he was really forced to be helpless, he could actually come up with such a good idea, and the Holy Emperor made a decision: "Okay, it's a way, I will order you to go and implement it." ”

There was no turning back, so he simply didn't think about whether he would be aspired by the three sects, and knelt down to accept the task assigned by the Holy Emperor.

This court meeting can be regarded as opening up the situation for the Holy Emperor and the Holy Empress, so that they can quickly regain the court in their hands, and under the oppression of powerful forces, the three sects, which were restrained by the academy and the second sound, also had to make temporary compromises.

The reinforcements sent to Songjiang City were originally trapped on the way to Songjiang City, and the three sects could only disperse the formation that trapped the reinforcements, so that the reinforcements continued to rush towards Songjiang City. (To be continued......)
