Chapter 231: Breaking the Sky Pass

After listening to the words of the Shangtu family, the old ancestor and the general looked at each other, and then looked at the general of the forbidden army who followed and the eldest sister who followed behind, several people were worried about Xiao Jiu, after all, the soldiers they led were too few, and they fought against 500,000 with all 300,000 soldiers, which was not an easy thing to do. At this moment, three messengers on horses and camels rushed all the way, and they kept shouting: "There is a great victory ahead, and the son has won a great victory." When he came to the palace hall, he turned over and dismounted. This is the common rule on the mainland, during the war, the messengers in front can take a car and other places directly to the emperor's office, and no one will stop them. If the battle is won, they will shout from outside the city gate to the emperor's main hall. So the three of them shouted all the way according to the rules.

At this time, the general did not care about the official rank and etiquette, and did not wait for the official on duty in the hall to come to receive the letter, so he rushed over, stretched out his hand to take the letter in his hand, and wanted to open it, but he endured it and came to the ancestor, at this time, the emperor also rushed over regardless of etiquette, which is the most worrying and worrying thing for everyone. When the general saw the emperor's eagerness, after all, they were the father and son, so they believed in the emperor.

The emperor not only did not open the letter shaft in a hurry, but also dropped the letter shaft to the ground, the eldest sister bent down to pick up the letter shaft, and after opening it neatly, the emperor urged: "Read, hurry up and read." As he spoke, he craned his neck and stared at the letter.

The eldest sister unfolded the letter axis and read in a crisp voice: "Good news before the army, our army, under the command of Gongzi, ambushed twice a day in a row, annihilating the enemy's avant-garde troops and 150,000 people in the front army, and no one escaped, because the follow-up war was kept secret and delayed. The next day, we fought a decisive battle with the enemy's main force for half a day, and with our 200,000 troops, we faced the enemy with 350,000. Defeat the opponent, and no enemy escapes. After the war, the old opponents of the forbidden army no longer existed. Now under the command of Childe, he hurried into the wind barrier. this newspaper. After reading it, I couldn't help but read it again. After the second recitation, the surrounding forbidden soldiers began to cheer loudly, and many generals burst into tears of joy, and all the opponents were wiped out by Gongzi, and the opponents were completely annihilated with 200,000 soldiers. This is also an exaggeration.

At this time, the general asked the messengers, "How many casualties are there among our troops?" Although I knew in my heart that under such a force, it would be a miserable victory, but the total annihilation of the opponent's army of 500,000 was already very planted, but when I thought of these soldiers and generals who lived with me, I felt a pang of distress in my heart, gritting my teeth and waiting for a reply.

At this time, the messenger said: "When General Shufan sent me to deliver the letter, he hadn't cleaned the battlefield yet, so I don't know. But our casualties will never be large, as if General Shufan said happily before I sent the letter that this battle was a miracle, and our casualties will never exceed 1,000. What I'm saying is true. The big array that Childe set up, the command, didn't even say anything, and he didn't even use the new crossbow. There are not many enemies left. ”

The general glared and asked, "Didn't you use the crossbow?" Seeing the soldier nodding, he turned to the old ancestor and said, "Old ancestor, you are really blessed." It's really unremarkable to have such a grandson. With 200,000 against 500,000, it's a miracle, I can't wait. ”

At this time, the old ancestor looked at the head of the Shangtu family with joy on his face, and the head of the Shangtu family said to the old ancestor: "I also admit that this is a miracle, but what is the use of this." After saying that, he still has a heart to fight, and he has not yet confirmed the victory or defeat in the end.

Seeing this, the general knew that there must be something in this with his many years of experience in dealing with this old master, and glanced at the ancestor, at this time, the eldest sister suddenly said: "Xiao Jiu is now on the wind barrier, there must be no problem on this way, when Xiao Jiu was there, he mentioned the Broken Sky Pass many times, and asked us to pay attention and tell us to report back in time, isn't it." As he spoke, he looked at everyone, and he didn't say anything more.

The old ancestor pulled the general, and after glancing at the emperor and the eldest sister in front of him, he turned around and walked towards the main hall, and everyone followed into the main hall. Came to the main hall, Rong Rong took out a map casually, handed it to the eldest sister, the eldest sister looked around, to find a place to open the map, at this time, the emperor took the map, directly on his own emperor book case to expand the map, everyone also did not care about the map in front of the map, the ancestor pointed to the broken sky pass, the other pointed to the imperial city, everyone saw such a clear image of the map for the first time, they were very surprised. The emperor asked the eldest sister, "This is the map from there, it is so clear, why have I never seen it before?" ”

The eldest sister looked at Rong Rong, and Rong Rong said, "This is what the son painted when he traveled that year." ”

When the emperor heard this, he sighed and said: "This stinky son has done so many things without telling Lao Tzu, how could he do this." ”

The old ancestor glared at the emperor and said, "You stinky boy, you know your son's affairs and abilities, and if you dare to talk nonsense, see if I don't slap your mouth." ”

Everyone knew the ancestor's favor for Xiao Jiu, but they didn't expect that this kind of favor had reached the point where no one was allowed to say anything bad about it, including the father, and they all looked at each other and grinned. At this time, the general said: "I understand, Gongzi is worried about the loss of the Broken Heaven Pass." Once lost, there are no more checkpoints and defenders on this endless plain that can stop the opponent's advance, so that they can reach the imperial city directly. Moreover, the Broken Sky Pass is a place that is difficult to attack on both sides. ”

Rong Rong continued: "At that time, Gongzi also explored the forest west of the Broken Heaven Pass many times, and every time he came back, he always said that this was not a natural barrier, and he was very worried. ”

At this time, the old ancestor said: "The major events in the imperial city have been completed as planned, and we will immediately prepare for the matter of breaking the heavens, whether there is anything or not, we will arrange it first." After speaking, seeing that the general was still looking at the map, his fingers were still pinching and calculating, he waited for the general to finish his calculations, and then discuss countermeasures, but just ordered the forbidden army to seize the time to prepare the army, equip all the military supplies, and wait for the order.

Suddenly, the general who was calculating was stunned for a moment, then straightened up suddenly, clapped his hands and laughed: "What a genius, the name of the son is well deserved, Godman, Godman, this makes the five bodies that I admire fall to the ground, haha." ”

The old ancestor glared at the general who looked like a madman, and he didn't understand how the usually elegant and solemn general had become like this. At this time, the general said: "Ancestor, your baby pimple has already arranged this matter of breaking the sky, but people didn't say it clearly, and we were too stupid to notice it. Saying that, he looked at the two masters outside and said: "I can't use the 100,000 forbidden army to clean up these old miscellaneous hairs, and 30,000 or 40,000 people are enough to defend the imperial city. And this preparation has been started many years ago, so that it can be used today, it is really a man of God. In the end, after everyone's discussion, 50,000 forbidden troops were left to defend the imperial city, and the horses and camels that Xiao Jiu did not select and did not let the eliminated when he formed the cavalry be used as a means of transportation, immediately set off to the Broken Sky Pass, and carried all the equipment with him to reinforce the Broken Sky Pass. According to the usual distance from the imperial city to the broken sky pass to half a month, there are horses and camels overnight to hurry, fast is four days slow is five days, to ensure that to arrive. At this time, everyone knew Xiao Jiu's previous arrangements, and the eldest sister asked the general: "Since Xiao Jiu has such a plan for a long time, why don't you explain it to us, and we have to guess before the matter comes, it's really naughty." ”

The general said: "This can't be blamed on the son, for so many years, who can guarantee that the original arrangement is right, besides, it is that the son said a lot of things at that time, even I was half-convinced, let alone others, I didn't expect all the things said to happen miraculously." As he spoke, he looked meaningfully at the head of the Jiyong family who was standing not far in front of him. The head of the Ji Yong family was listening to the general's words, pondering how capable this emperor's youngest son, who had never appeared in front of people before, when he heard the general's voice, he couldn't help but look at the general, and when he saw the general looking at him with such strange eyes, he couldn't help but be stunned, and then looked at the general with an inquiring eye. The general said: "At that time, Gongzi judged that the major families would rebel sooner or later, but only said that the Jiyong family would never rebel, and none of us listened to it at that time, which slowly verified Gongzi's judgment in his early years." The head of the Jiyong family, I'm very sorry for you, I also explain to you here, in front of everyone, apologize to the head of the Jiyong family, for this counterinsurgency, I didn't listen to what the son said, I sent troops to surround your home when their family just got together, and I apologize to you here. As he spoke, he saluted to the head of the Jiyong family. The head of the Ji Yong family was stunned for a moment, and then the cold sweat on his face flowed down suddenly, and he said in his heart: It's so hanging, this is a long time ago, just waiting for these fools to do it themselves, fortunately, he knows the temper of this old ancestor, even if he is not prepared, this old guy will definitely take action, and after killing these fools, this is a real butcher. Because he was afraid of this old guy, he avoided this catastrophe of extermination, and he was even more afraid when he thought about it, and at the same time, he began to pay attention to the son who praised the general.

At this moment, a soldier walked in from outside the main hall to report that someone was talking to the eldest princess, saying that it was border intelligence. When the eldest sister heard this, as the soldiers walked out of the hall, she saw that in the distance in the outer circle surrounded by soldiers, there was a person in civilian clothes waving his hand to herself, and after a closer look, this was one of her subordinates who managed intelligence, so she walked over and came to him, the man said: "Eldest princess, the intelligence of the Broken Sky Pass, early this morning, our intelligence officers found that the enemy camp in front of the Broken Sky Pass began to transfer troops, and took the risk to investigate, and it was to transport troops in the direction of the Broken Sky Pass, so they immediately sent back the information." At that time, you ordered you to report to you as soon as there was information, so I had to find this place. As he spoke, he handed the letter to the eldest sister.

The eldest sister said: "You go back immediately, look, as soon as there is information about the breaking of the sky, it will be sent immediately." After saying that, when he saw the person leaving, he turned around and returned to the main hall, and on the way he kept muttering in his heart: This little brother, is it really the reincarnation of a goblin? This is also a bit outrageous of a goblin, next time we meet, we must take a good look. I thought about coming to the main hall and handing over the information in my hand to the general. The general unfolded the information suspiciously, saw that it was written the number and route of the opponent's troops, and compared it on the map, and was shocked to find that the opponent was really preparing to open a real advance channel here. All the previous actions were to mobilize the deployment of the forbidden army in the imperial city, forming an encirclement of the imperial city, and the most fatal blow was to seize this broken heavenly pass, open the avenue to the imperial city, and then smash the Yellow Dragon.
