"We're going to Yuanzhou to suppress bandits. Hu Yang said straight to the point, "So, the Eagle King Pass Fortress will be handed over to you." ”

"No, my lord, absolutely not!" Sun Shaohai was about to cry, "You guys are leaving, who will defend the Eagle King Pass Fortress? We have less than 3,000 people, and we can't hold it! My lord, what are you going to Yuanzhou for? Can you not leave?"

"I don't want to leave either, alas, the situation is complicated! However, I can't go if I don't go!" Hu Yang said helplessly, "We received a report from Yuanzhou, saying that the rebels are recruiting troops there, and the number is very inflated! You know, Yuanzhou is our rear!"

"If our rear is unstable, the reinforcements from Hetu City don't know when they will be able to reach the Eagle King Pass Fortress! If we continue to allow the rebels in Yuanzhou to develop freely, I am afraid that the reinforcements from Hetu City will never be able to reach the Eagle King Pass Fortress. ”

Sun Shaohai didn't know that Yuanzhou had a secret garrison of imperial troops, and he also thought that Hu Yang really wanted to clear the rebels behind the Eagle King Pass Fortress. In terms of military strategy, this is no problem. If the rear is not quiet, the Eagle King Pass Fortress will definitely be greatly affected. It's no wonder that Populus euphratica is in such a hurry.

However, Sun Shaohai really didn't have any confidence in his subordinates! His subordinates had less than 3,000 men, and he was still a defeated general of the frightened bird, how could he fight against the rebels who were close to 100,000? The number of defenders was too small, and the Eagle King Pass Fortress could not play a role at all!

It's a pity that Hu Yang didn't give him a chance to intercede at all, so he ordered the army to pull out.

By the time Zhao Zhongming woke up and arrived, Hu Yang had already walked away.

"Conspiracy! This must be a conspiracy!"

"He must have made a deal with the rebels!"

"He must have betrayed us, betrayed the Eagle King Pass Fortress!

Zhao Zhongming is simply crazy. He was terrified to the extreme. It was as if he had seen the order of his own demise. He immediately ordered the troops to retreat.

Abandoning the Eagle King Pass Fortress will have very serious consequences. Once the court is held accountable, capital crimes are inevitable.

However, if the Eagle King Pass Fortress is not abandoned, the consequences will be even more serious.

It only takes three days at most for the rebels to conquer the Eagle King Pass Fortress.

In other words, if he escapes, he will be able to survive for a while. Maybe there will be a chance to make a comeback in the future.

However, if you are defending the Eagle King Pass Fortress, you will really die on the spot.

"What? We're going to give up the fortress?" Sun Shaohai was frightened.

"Give up immediately!" Zhao Zhongming said without hesitation.

"Okay......" Sun Shaohai was reluctantly agreed after a short period of fright.

He also didn't want to die in the Eagle King Pass Fortress. So, running away is the only option. Moreover, the faster you run, the better.

So, two hours after Hu Yang led his troops to leave the Eagle King Pass Fortress, the imperial army stationed on Xianglu Mountain also retreated in a hurry.

The main force of the rebels led by Mo Yang and Jin Moran immediately easily controlled the Eagle King Pass Fortress.

When the news came, the entire Tang Yun Empire's top brass was shaken.

Of course, this is already later.

Now, Hu Yang is talking to Jin Moran.

Less than half an hour after Jin Moran entered the Eagle King Pass Fortress, he came to chase after Hu Yang.

Of course, he didn't come to hunt down Populus. He had come to thank Populus euphratica.

Without the cooperation of Populus euphratica, it would not be so easy for the rebels to occupy the Eagle King Pass Fortress.

"I didn't give up on the Eagle King Pass Fortress. It was Zhao Zhongming who gave up the fortress. I went to Yuanzhou to suppress bandits. Hu Yang said lightly.

"Understood, understood. His Highness's promise will never change. Jin Moran emphasized.

"Then we'll leave it at that. Hu Yang nodded casually.

Jin Mo wanted to speak and stopped, and finally silently watched Hu Yang and the others leave.

The first contact with Populus euphratica made Jin Moran feel very strange. He felt that he could not touch the bottom of the poplar at all.

He was in charge of the rebels' intelligence work, and it stands to reason that he should know the poplar best.

However, he has almost no information about Populus euphratica.

So far, he has collected very limited information about Populus euphratica.

He didn't know what his identity was, where he came from, where he was going, and what he was going to do.

The only thing he knew was that this guy was from the west of the Green Ridge Mountains.

"Hu Yang, you seem to be trying to remain neutral?" Yu Qingzhi seemed to see something.

"No, I'm not neutral. Hu Yang shook his head and said, "I am the grass on the wall, and I will take refuge in whichever side gives me more benefits." ”

"Hmm, you're too frank to talk like this, aren't you!" Lin Yueyin couldn't help but smile and said, "How can you say this about yourself?"

"That's what my current plan is. Hu Yang said bluntly, "Whoever gives me more benefits, I will help whomever I want." ”

"This is called the one who knows the times as a handsome. Lin Yueyin worked hard to correct Populus euphratica's statement.

"Almost!" Hu Yang humbly accepted.

Three days later, the group arrived in Yuanzhou smoothly.

The spies sent by Ling Qing soon found the secret location of the imperial army.

According to the latest information, the imperial court sent troops secretly stationed in Yuanzhou, with a total of 13,000 people, and the general of the unified army was called Ma Land.

Marander's cultivation level is about the same as Zhao Zhongming's. They are all the pinnacle of the Liuhe Realm. However, in the hands of this guy, there is a magic armor. In addition, he has at least five demon armors under his command. It can be inferred from this that the troops he led are definitely the elite of the Tang Yun Empire.

"Demon Armor, Ling Qing, do you want it?" Hu Yang asked casually.

"Why not?" replied Ling Qing angrily.

"Okay, I'll give you one!" Hu Yang said with a smile.

He then released a Tiger Thorn Red Demon Armor from the space prop.

This was a Song-level magic armor, which happened to be suitable for Ling Qing's current cultivation level, and it was also suitable for her fighting style.

The Red Armor of the Tiger Thorn is a typical hand-to-hand combat type of armor, and the weapon used is a longsword or scimitar.

These are all things that Ling Qing is good at, and she can just give full play to her combat power to the extreme.

"I want it too!" Tang Lina was immediately moved.

"I want one too!" Lin Yueyin shouted.

"Good, good, good, all, all!" Hu Yang agreed with a smile.

He released several sets of magic armor with his face, all of which were Song-level. But the model is different.

What was equipped for Tang Linna was the wolf's tooth saber and magic armor. This magic armor is also good at hand-to-hand combat, and the weapon used is also a scimitar.

Unlike the Tiger Thorn Red Devil Armor, the scimitar equipped with the Wolf Tooth Saber Demon Armor is much longer and thinner, and it takes a light and erratic path, and is good at assassination and sneak attacks.

The Tiger Thorn Red is a frontal assault type with wide opening and closing. Its protective armor is thick enough to withstand very aggressive attacks.
