After Emperor Song was stunned for a long time, he lowered his head and pondered. Although the Wheel King did not urge him, he was also sweating in a hurry on the Great King's Palace, which was cold and full of ghosts in this harsh winter.

The materials for the Eastern Crusade are his responsible errands, and he will inevitably be inseparable from the accidents he has. That's it, the key is that the Fenglinzhou Zhao'an of the King of Equality is impressive, not only Ma Shouguo announced his acceptance of Zhao'an, but even the headless ghost country also expressed its willingness to accept Zhao'an.

Compared with the two sides, it is inevitable that he is incompetent in rotating the king.

If it was in the past, the king of Yama, who had a good relationship with him and the king of the wheel, was in Xudu, he could still consult with the other party. But now that King Yama is also in Dongyizhou, he can only come to Emperor Song, who has a good relationship with him.

After thinking about it for a long time, Emperor Song still decided to help the Wheel King, so he looked through the two books again before he raised his head and looked at the Wheel King with an anxious and helpless face again.

Emperor Song stretched his brows and smiled lightly, and said slowly: "King of the Wheel, you only need to exaggerate the vicious battle of the Huaishan granary, and blame the defeat of King Taishan's Mingfeng Valley on his improper command. ”。

The Wheel King, who had always been wise, was stunned when he heard this, he understood the previous words, and there were no surviving sergeants and warships left in the last fleet. This is a fact, and it shows how terrible the battle was.

If this tragedy is exaggerated, it can win some sympathy. What's more, he didn't command the Wheel King on the front line, and the subordinates in the southeast coast of Liutianzhou were all subordinates of Emperor Xudu himself. No matter how moody the Emperor is, he will not be angry with him again.

But the latter words, the Wheel King is not very comprehensible. After all, what was written in the war report was that the lack of ammunition led to the defeat of the army led by King Taishan to be besieged. How can this be attributed to the great joy of King Taishan?

Confusion appeared between the eyebrows of the Wheel King, and Emperor Song saw through his confusion at a glance. At that moment, he smiled lightly and said casually: "The Wheel King is a wise human soul, why is he worried about his future only because the ammunition failed to arrive in time because of the defeat in battle, but he does not see that Taishan is the commander-in-chief, and he did not consider this unfavorable factor in the battle plan before the start of the war? Not only did he not consider it, but he also advanced the battle line for hundreds of miles in one month, and the supply line of the army was too long, and the supply was naturally difficult, so how could he be undefeated?"

As soon as these words came out, it was really a word to wake up from his dream, and the Wheel King suddenly felt like an initiation, and his eyes lit up.

As long as he doesn't change the content of the notebook, he is not a lie.

And he was indeed responsible for the supply of the army, and he was also attacked by the Nine Shadows Kingdom. However, it can be said that the defeat can be said to mean that King Taishan knew that the supplies were plundered, but he was still greedy for merit, which led to the siege and defeat of the Eastern Expeditionary Army in Mingfeng Valley.

After thinking about this, the Wheel King immediately cast a grateful glance at Emperor Song, took out a silver ticket of 100,000 taels from his sleeve, and stuffed it to Emperor Song: "A little respect, all the major cabinets in the underworld can be exchanged, please be sure to accept it." ”。

Emperor Song didn't say anything polite to him, and without even pushing it, he put the silver ticket in his sleeve.

"The Wheel King is polite, it's just a matter of internal affairs. After collecting the silver ticket, Emperor Song smiled slightly, and said unashamedly: "The officials of the same dynasty should support each other, so that the court can be prosperous and strong, the ten continents are stable, and the ghost people live and work in peace and contentment." ”。 seems to have forgotten that a second ago he also formulated how the Wheel King pits King Taishan, so as to get rid of his dereliction of duty.

The Wheel King nodded yes and said, "Then I will enter the palace to face the saint and leave here." I will definitely invite my brother to the house another day. ”。

After finishing his sentence, he put away his notebook and turned to leave.

Emperor Song, who watched him leave, smiled and said nothing, and secretly thought in his heart how to spend the 100,000 silver in his sleeve......

Dongyizhou, outside the city of wood and stone.

After the large number of towering trees were cut down by the Nine Shadows Army, they were made into simple towers. In the open space between the towers, it can be seen that the flower military flag on the other side of the Nine Secluded Countries is waving in the wind, and under the military flag, the military tent stretches for several miles.

In the siege of the night, there is no doubt that the final victory is the Jiuyou National Army. Powerful firearms and sturdy soldiers are intimidating to the hairy ghost soldiers. Not long after the city wall fell, they all gave up resistance, laid down their weapons and surrendered to the Nine Shadows.

The only regret is that King Mao Min still took advantage of the chaos to escape.

It is said that he took dozens of followers all the way to the west, and the ghosts did not stop non-stop, and fled until they reached the Xiazhou Kingdom before stopping.

After the end of the war, the soldiers of the Nine Shadows Kingdom did not hunt him down, nor did they stay in the city for long, they chose to camp outside the city so that order could be quickly restored in the city.

This move not only won the hearts of the ghost people in the city for the Nine Ghost Army, but also made those captives of the hairy ghosts who surrendered admire the Nine Ghost Army.

After the news spread, all cities and counties in the Republic of Mao successively sent envoys to the army of Jiuyou to dedicate the land under their jurisdiction. And according to the requirements of the Nine Shadows Army, all the ghost slave markets in the country were closed, and after the slaves' souls were released, these souls were given land and houses, as well as equal treatment.

Xiao Shizhu then ordered that the land of the Mao Republic be divided into a county, and because of its dense tree canopy, it was named Qingmu County. And by the way, Lin Cong was promoted again, and let him be the county guard.

Since then, the conquest of the Republic of Mao by the Nine Hidden States has ended, and all the lands of the Republic of Mao have been included in the territory of the Nine Hidden States, and the Nine Hidden States have also occupied a place in Dongyi Continent.

A few days after the end of the night battle in Mushi City, Lin Cong also came to the outside of Mushi City with part of the main force, and after meeting with Zhu Hai, the pioneer he appointed, he discussed how to rebuild after the war, as well as Xiao Shizhu's explanation, let them expand their army here, and so on.

After all, Zhu Hai has lived in this land for thousands of years, and he is most familiar with the customs and customs here, and Lin Cong is right to consult with him.

But with the increase in the number of sergeants, the Jiuyou Army had to cut down some towering ancient trees outside the city and make room for military tents.

The north wind was howling, blowing Lin Cong's big tent whirring.

Lin Cong, who was wearing a black gauze hat and a shirt with a pattern of ghosts and clouds and geese sewn on his chest, sat behind the handsome case in the depths of the big tent, staring at the corpse standing in front of the handsome case. After this kind of corpse changed in the world, the soul went to the underworld and became a ghost with a strong self-healing ability.

Lin Cong did not frown or cover his nose because of the smell of corpses, but his face was as usual and his eyes were calm. After looking the white-haired corpse soul in front of him up and down a few times, he slowly asked, "You claim to be from the Corpse Country, do you have any evidence?"

This corpse soul came from the direction of Xiazhou Kingdom a few days ago, and according to his explanation, he is not a ghost of Xiazhou Country, but a ghost envoy of the Corpse Country. Traveled through the enemy country in a lot of hard work, just to come to see Lin Cong.

What is the matter with seeing Lin Cong for him? He didn't say anything. The soldiers couldn't, so they had to ask Lin Cong's permission and take him to the barracks outside Mushi City.

The corpse soul nodded, took out a paper from his arms, and handed it to Zhu Hai, who was beside him, and he handed it to Lin Cong.

After Lin Cong took it, he took it and took a closer look, and saw that the big seal on it was indeed the big seal of the corpse soul king extravagant corpse; this seal was still from the Beiyin Dynasty, and Lin Cong, who had done a ghost errand in the Beiyin Dynasty, could see at a glance that it was definitely not a forgery.

He raised his eyes, smiled at the corpse soul, handed the document to Zhu Hai, and asked him to return it to the corpse soul, and then slowly asked, "What is the matter with your envoy coming to my country?"

"Make a deal with the Nine Shadows. After the envoy smiled, he said in a hoarse voice: "I don't know if your country is interested in carving up the Xiazhou Kingdom with my country?"

When Lin Cong and Zhu Hai heard this, they were both slightly stunned and looked at each other, and then the two ghosts turned their heads together to look at the corpse soul with a faint smile on their faces again.

"What do you mean by that?" After a while, Lin Cong asked again.

"My country is in Xiazhou, fighting against the Xudu Army, I think my lord has also heard of it, and half a month ago, my country's ghost soldiers were still defeating the Xudu army in Mingfeng Valley, and my lord should also know. After a pause, after seeing Lin Cong's slight bow, the corpse soul said unhurriedly: "My lord Corpse Soul King is now leading the army to continue to march south, and your country is the sworn enemy of the Northern Yin Dynasty, which is already known to the ghosts in the underworld, why not take advantage of this to send troops to defeat the remnants of the Xudu Army in Xiazhou with the north and south of our country, and after annihilating them, we are here to carve up the land that is attached to the Xiazhou State of the Northern Yin Dynasty?"

"Then how are you going to divide it?" Lin Cong is not a little ghost who is ignorant of the world, although he was tempted at the moment, he did not rush to express his position, but continued to remain calm after a little thought, and asked the conditions first.

"The country of Xiazhou is divided into east and west with the capital of Manjiang City, and after the victory, the east belongs to the country of Jiuyou, and the west belongs to the country of the corpse. Lai-so replied without thinking.

When Lin Cong heard this, he fell into contemplation again.

Such conditions are really good, the Nine Shadows Kingdom can increase the territory again, and it can also flank the Xudu army with the Corpse Country, and deal a heavy blow to the Xudu army of the Eastern Expedition.

However, he arrived in Dongyizhou for less than half a year, and the war of the Republic of Mao subsided in less than half a month. If you rashly attack Xiazhou Kingdom, it's easy to say if you win, but if you lose, you will definitely lose the watermelon and not be able to pick up the sesame seeds.

For a while, Lin Cong was also very distressed, so he had to say to the envoy first: "Please come to the camp to rest and eat some hot food, and I will report it to the lord and ask him to reply to you after he decides." ”。

The envoy didn't object, then nodded yes and answered, and followed the soldiers summoned by Lin Cong to turn around and walk out of the big tent.

"General Zhu Hai, we were not born when you were fighting in the world, and you are definitely not under me in terms of strategic experience, what do you think of this so-called north-south attack?" After the envoy left, Lin Cong immediately turned his head and looked at Zhu Hai, whose eyebrows were tightly locked and his face was slightly vigilant, with an inquiring gaze.

"The best way is to disagree with this matter, and let the Xubi corpse and the Xudu army, as well as the Xiazhou national army, consume each other. After thinking about it for a while, Zhu Hai said slowly to Lin Cong: "Your Excellency, you must know that the corpse of Yubi is not all to rebel against the tyranny of the Northern Yin Dynasty, a long time ago he thought that his fiefdom Wenyuan Valley fiefdom was too small, and Emperor Xudu did not allow him to expand his territory on his own. ”。

In Zhu Hai's words, Lin Cong gradually calmed down, and listened carefully to Zhu Hai's analysis: "Extravagance is too selfish than the corpse, and too much selfish desire leads to his being too greedy. Now he is talking about dividing the things of Xia Zhou Kingdom equally, but he may not do this when the time comes. Don't you see that although he sent an envoy, he didn't even have a simple letter of alliance? This is so that he does not leave black and white letters, so that he can pay off his debts in the future. ”。

"The north-south flank is just to use our army. Speaking of this, Zhu Hai couldn't help but snort angrily, staring at the tent door blown by the cold wind, his eyes became much deeper: "His corpse soul king is more luxurious than the corpse, but he values the powerful firearms of our army." ”。
