040, old things (above)
The pursuers from the direction of Weichuan Castle lined up in a field battle, and the city outline in the rear had been lost, and the reinforcements of the Bamuro country suddenly arrived from behind, and of course they were defeated in a battle. Lingbao did not pursue to expand the results of the battle, and the army quickly withdrew to Weichuan City to hold on, and when the other three armies of Zheng Muguo arrived, there was nothing to be done.
Zheng Muguo didn't react until this moment, Lingbao's purpose was not to attack the national capital in the first place, he had thought about capturing Weichuan City from the beginning. However, Lingbao did not attack the city directly from the front, but outflanked it with the left and right armies, making it look like he was going straight to Guishu City to attack the national capital, and the main force of the real siege was the reinforcement army led by Xiaoyang.
Zheng Muguo's overall defense line and troop deployment all made Lingbao shake it.
When Lingbao's left and right armies met, it was equivalent to dividing Weichuan City from the remnants of the Zheng Mur Kingdom. Some of the troops that could defend the city were ordered by the monarch to attack left and right to cut off the back of the Lingbao army, and the other part was pursuing the Lingbao army, and the garrison of the city itself was almost emptied.
Xiaoyang mobilized reinforcements and kept coming, all of them were elite field soldiers in the country, facing a lonely city that had actually been surrounded and its strength had been drained. If Xiaoyang can't be defeated, then Bamuroguo will wash and sleep, and there will be no more wars.
When Zheng Murokook realized that Lingbao's purpose was Weichuan City, it was already too late. Lingbao's sudden advance caught Zheng Muguo off guard, and almost all the armies were led by him, and the scale of the battle that took place was actually not large.
By the time the real battle was about to begin, Xiaoyang had captured Weichuan City and taken Lingbao back, and resumed the confrontation between the two sides. But the pattern of confrontation today is very different from what it was back then. The Aegon Castle occupied by the Bamuro Kingdom is like a sharp knife inserted into the remnants of the Zheng Muroku Kingdom, and it is used as a stronghold. Heavy troops can be assembled at any time to threaten Guishu City, and Zheng Muroguo's original defense system has collapsed.
Fiction is real, reality is virtual, Lingbao's battle was so weird, it even made Zheng Muguo dizzy. At this time, Mr. Yingzhu still had no news, and Zheng Junhongzhu couldn't sit still, so he himself went to the Yingzhuling Dojo.
......
When Huwa and the others returned to Badu City. It just so happened that the battle report from the frontline battlefield came back that Lingbao's side had captured Weichuan City. What should be done with the living Yu Pu and the dead Yingzhu, and how should they be announced to the outside world, it is no longer about the tiger baby, just leave it to the young affairs anyway.
Yang Hanling returned to Pengshan, Pengshan is the fiefdom and Taoist place of Huwa, and she also needs to be in charge on weekdays. The tiger baby also temporarily returned to the deep valley of Pengshan Mountain, waiting for news for a few days.
The courtyard and bamboo forest in the valley are still there, and the golden bell vines have been arranged into a large array. It seems that the spirit of the grass and trees has returned. also got the inheritance left by the tiger baby, but now I don't know where to play, and the tiger baby still hasn't seen it. This essence of plants and trees is also interesting, it seems to be quite naughty, is it playing hide and seek with the tiger baby?
The injury has been completely healed, and the tiger baby has sacrificed a sword talisman. This sword talisman was a little different from the secret treasure he had sacrificed before. The bamboo leaf talisman that Yingzhu had given to Gu Caiqi to use also gave Huwa a lot of inspiration. The sword talisman he refined this time. It can better blend into the bamboo forest array in the valley, and it looks like a bamboo leaf.
In the valley is the usual residence and cultivation cave of Tiger Baby and Xuanyuan. If you encounter a strong enemy that is difficult to resist, then this bamboo forest array is the last reliance.
The bamboo forest array arranged by the tiger baby, the opponent who is secretly guarding against it is Bai Sha, otherwise with his and Xuanyuan's ability, he is not afraid of other masters in the world. Of course, this bamboo forest array can't be compared to the Lock Mountain Sword Formation of Wufu Hill, it is only a one-time one, but if you use years of work to lay down pieces of bamboo leaf sword talismans. As a last resort, it can trigger the Secret Treasure to destroy the array and kill the enemy.
Mr. Sanshui has said goodbye and left, but Pan Gu ran back to Pengshan with Huwa. Seeing that Huwa had refined such a bamboo leaf sword talisman, Pan Gu was very envious, and couldn't help asking, "Senior brother." Can you give me this treasure for self-defense?"
Huwa glared at him and said, "Give it to you for self-defense, shouldn't you take it to Xiao Miao to offer the treasure again?" This bamboo leaf sword talisman is a secret treasure that I have recently comprehended and successfully refined, and it is ready to be arranged in the bamboo forest array, so I can't give it to you." It is not easy to refine powerful secret treasures, and if you retreat to the next best thing, refining a slightly weaker secret treasure will no longer make much sense to you.
Originally, I had refined some sword talismans, and I originally planned to arrange them in the bamboo forest array, but now I have realized something else, and it doesn't seem to be suitable for use. Refining the secret treasure is just a backup means, don't delay your cultivation because of this, I have a lot of things to do recently, so I only took the time to refine five, and the power of each one is equivalent to the full force of the blow when I just broke through the transformation realm. If you are not too little, take it. ”
Pan Gu exclaimed, "So much, Senior Brother still said less! Thank you!" happily put away the five sword talismans.
The tiger baby flicked her fingers again, and the newly refined bamboo leaf sword talisman flew into the forest and disappeared. His expression was a little tired, the injuries he suffered in Yingzhu Ridge had just healed, and then he refined such a secret treasure, and the consumption of divine energy mana was no less than the fierce battle with Mr. Yingzhu at the beginning, but he was not injured again.
At this moment, Yang Hanling came to report - Gu Caiqi, the guardian of the Yingzhuling Sect, asked to see him.
......
Gu Caiqi fled from the battlefield that day, but was deliberately let go by the tiger baby, and then was frightened away by the sword of the sword. After Huwa and the others left, he returned to the Yingzhuling Dojo and immediately ordered the mountain to be closed, and all the disciples should not pay attention to the affairs outside the mountain, so as not to cause a catastrophe to the sect.
As a bystander, Gu Caiqi can see clearly that since Lord Peng Keng has come to Yingzhu to settle accounts, it means that Ba Muguo is going to officially take action against Zheng Muguo. Zheng Muroguo may be able to resist temporarily, but from the perspective of the general trend, there is no chance of turning defeat into victory in the end, and it depends on how much Ba Muruguo will pay. If Yingzhuling continues to be involved, I am afraid that the sect will be destroyed.
Shaowu, Huwa and Yingzhu have a grudge, but Gu Caiqi has nothing to do with the tragedy of that year, and many disciples in Yingzhuling have nothing to do with this matter. Now that Yingzhu and Yu Pu have been taken down, Gu Caiqi will never send the entire sect out again, and that is not the choice that the sect guards should make.
Gu Caiqi has been cultivating for many years, and he has not paid attention to the affairs of the sect for a long time, and suddenly appeared to give such an order, of course, there are disciples of Yingzhuling who do not know the inside story. But Yingzhu and Yu Pu were gone, and Gu Caiqi showed strong means to calm the situation. Immediately afterwards, Lingbao led the army into Zheng Muguo, and soon after the defense of Chuancheng was lost, Zheng Jun Hongzhu personally came to Yingzhuling.
Hongzhu sent messengers to Mr. Yingzhu several times, but received no response. Because Gu Caiqi ordered the news to be temporarily blocked, how should this matter be announced to the public, or according to the wishes of Lord Peng Keng, in fact, Gu Caiqi didn't know what to say. But Zheng Jun came in person, but Gu Caiqi had to meet him and had a secret conversation in private.
Zheng Jun was shocked when he heard the news, and felt that the world was spinning and there was no master. He rested in Yingzhuling for a night, and couldn't sleep at night, for some reason, the scene of Zheng Gu being slapped into meat by the tiger baby always appeared in front of him. He didn't see that scene with his own eyes, but the more he thought about it, the more frightened he felt, and the next day he went to Gu Caiqi again and made a request to Gu Caiqi.
Zheng Jun Hongzhu hopes that Gu Caiqi can serve as an envoy, not a publicly appointed state envoy, but a secret envoy sent by Zheng Jun in private, to try to find Shaowu to find out the situation. In the current situation, if he wants to surrender, what conditions and demands can he put forward? The best outcome is a truce between the two countries, so how can the country agree to peace talks?
Truce and peace talks, even Hongzhu himself felt that it was unlikely. It seems that this national war has just begun, and Zheng Muguo has only temporarily lost a city outline. But Hongzhu himself understands that it is almost impossible to recapture Weichuan City, Zheng Muguo is already at an absolute disadvantage, as long as Shao Wu is willing to gather troops to attack fiercely, Zheng Muguo's remnants will not be able to hold it in the end.
There is an example of Xiangjun's purple foam surrendering in the past, and Hongzhu can't help but have other ideas. If he really wants to completely destroy the Zheng State after a bloody battle, then he, the monarch, will definitely not end well. Take advantage of the opportunity to negotiate, try to put forward some quid pro quo, now that Yingzhu is dead, his retreat and reliance are gone, so he can only go to explore Ba Jun's tone in private.
But this kind of thing is not easy to talk about openly, otherwise it will hurt the morale of the front line too much, maybe the front army will hear the news and surrender first, then it is of little significance for him, the monarch, to return or not, so Hong Zhu privately asked Gu Caiqi to be the secret envoy. Gu Caiqi thought about it for a long time and put forward a few conditions to Hongzhu, and after Hongzhu agreed, he came hard.
Since he is not a publicly appointed state envoy, Gu Caiqi's whereabouts are of course secret, and no one receives him when he comes to Bamuro Country, and if he doesn't get it, he will be regarded as a spy on the military. The most difficult thing to do is, how can he find someone to match and go to find out the tone of the young affairs? After thinking about it again, Gu Caiqi decided to come to meet Master Peng Keng first.
Others thought that the tiger baby was still in Bujin Mountain, but Gu Caiqi knew that the tiger baby had left Bujin Mountain, and it was time to escort Yingzhu and Yu Pu back to Badu City recently. So he first went to Pengshan to meet Yang Hanling and asked Yang Hanling to introduce him.
......
Gu Caiqi came just in time, and the tiger baby happened to be in the valley of Pengshan, so he ordered Yang Hanling to bring Gu Caiqi and meet guests in the bamboo forest. Pan Gu also sighed secretly, Senior Brother Huwa and Master Jiansha were like gods, and the person who was deliberately let go at the beginning really took the initiative to come to the door again today.
After Gu Caiqi saluted, Pan Gu snorted coldly: "You are not small, you dare to come here alone!"
Gu Caiqi hurriedly explained: "Lord Peng Keng, General Pan Yuan, and Yang Han Lingdao, I have no hostility or malice here, otherwise what is the difference between sending me to death? Today is not only to make amends for Yingzhuling, but also to be entrusted by Zheng Jun, hoping to discuss important matters between the two countries with Ba Jun in private. I first came to meet Master Peng Keng, and in order to show my sincerity, I have a special thing to offer. (To be continued......)
PS: Guess what, what Gu Caiqi offered in person?
