As soon as a cannon rang out, Deng Jiugong drank the wine given by the king of Xu, and led 200,000 soldiers and horses to leave the court. Among them, 130,000 horses were brought from Xiqi to the elite of Chaoge, and now they are embarking on the journey again.

On this trip, Deng Jiugong only brought Chen Qi and Li Qi, two talents who were proficient in spells.

Fa Jie, let him go to Chongcheng to assist Cui Ying in developing national strength. As for the two brothers, Gao Ming and Gao Jue, because they are tree spirits and have roots in Qipan Mountain, the range of activities is limited, and there are thousands of miles away from the Wandering Soul Pass, and they can't go at all with two people, so they stay in Chaoge, first, to pay attention to the changes in the court, and second, to continue to build the palace and be responsible for the operation of the pharmacy.

The two demons are dead, and there are Gao Ming brothers who are always watching, and Daji is afraid that he will not dare to go to the palace to plunder people and eat them for a short time. Even if he goes, the Gao Ming brothers have a way to cure him, after all, he rewarded the two of them with Hot Wheels as a magic weapon to use. The original form of Hot Wheels is a pair of sacred birds, which can not only carry people to fly, but also be used to defend against enemies.

Besides, the Gao Ming brothers also know the Meishan Seven Monsters, and they can ask them to take action at critical moments.

can reasonably mobilize the resources of Chengtang, Deng Jiugong will naturally not use all his own people, otherwise wouldn't he be sorry for the identity of the generalissimo of soldiers and horses.

The first stop is Shenchi County, Deng Jiugong has long had the intention of befriending Zhang Kui, but he has never had the opportunity. Now that the king had given him the greatest authority, his first thought was to take Zhang Kui to the East.

"Commander, it's still easy to fight. ”

Chen Qi was in good spirits, in the past few months in Chaoge, he was quite depressed, and those ministers of the court and the central government were high-minded and pretentious, pointing fingers at his work, which made him hold his breath in his heart. disdains to be in the company of these people, but has to play with them, isn't this the biggest helplessness.

Deng Jiugong glanced at him and said with a smile: "Chen Qi, tell me the truth, have you always been looking forward to fighting!"

Chen Qi smiled and said: "Handsome, not only subordinates, but also Li Qi, he wants to vomit a little money in the past few months, and he has complained to me more than once!"

Deng Jiugong said with a smile: "Now, you will get your wish and give me a good contribution on the battlefield!"

originally thought that he could stop for a few years and improve his cultivation, but who knew that the tree wanted to be quiet and the wind would not stop, Jiang Wenhuan was so fanfare, I was afraid that this battle would not be easy to fight. However, if the battle is easy to fight, will the king send himself to the east, you need to know that the court is quite capable, and the general rebellion can be quelled by them.

Chen Qi and Li Qi glanced at each other, the two of them perked up, and hurriedly said, "Subordinates obey orders." ”

Anyone who is a general under Deng Jiugong is eager to become famous in a fight, whether it is Zheng Lun, who followed him first, or Gao Jineng, who joined halfway. The two of them are now well-known and talked about.

......

Rope Pond, although it is only a small small city, is only a river away from Chaoge, and it seems to be not worth mentioning compared to Xiongguan, which is difficult for birds to cross. However, because the guard general is a strange person with high skills, this county enjoys a good reputation. Back then, Huang Feihu reversed the song of the court, knowing that Zhang Kui was so powerful that he had to bypass the rope pool and go straight to the five passes, which shows that in his heart, the danger of the rope pool is far greater than that of the five passes.

"Report to the general, there is a large group of people and horses coming straight to the rope pond, looking at the momentum of the banner, I am afraid that there are no less than 200,000 people. ”

When Zhang Kui heard this, he glanced at his wife Gao Lanying, and said strangely: "Madam, the person who came must be Deng Jiugong, the generalissimo of soldiers and horses, I heard that he led an army of 200,000 to the east to exterminate the traitor Jiang Wenhuan, why did he come to us by detour." ”

Gao Lanying's eyes rolled and said with a smile: "General, I'm afraid that this Deng Dashuai is coming at you." ”

"Coming at me. ”

Zhang Kui was stunned, he had been an official for many years, and his mind was exquisite, and he had already heard the meaning of his wife's words, and sighed: "Deng Dashuai is in a high position and has a lot of talents, I have a small ability, how can I be valued by him." ”

Gao Lanying said with a smile: "General, don't be modest, hurry up and open the city to greet you, otherwise you will lose your manners!"

Zhang Kui nodded, and with the help of his wife, he put on his armor and went out of the city to greet him with a spirit on his face. For the famous Deng Jiugong, he admired him very much, this person was able to do what no one else could, and he beat Xiqi to surrender, and his skills can be imagined.

Zhang Kui himself is also a person with thaumaturgy, and what he admires most is a person like Deng Jiugong who combines martial arts, Taoism, and soldiers. Although the previous Wen Taishi was also such a master, he was inferior to Deng Jiugong.

The soldiers looked down at the city one by one, wanting to witness the dignity of the generalissimo of soldiers and horses for the first time, this generalissimo is amazing, his reputation has long been a household name, and the people have compiled his legendary deeds into operas and praised them all day long.

"Zhang Kui, the guard general of the lower official rope pool, has seen the generalissimo. ”

Zhang Kui led his soldiers out of the city for three miles to meet Deng Jiugong. Deng Jiugong personally recruited on behalf of the Son of Heaven, if he lost his courtesy, it would be disrespectful to the imperial power, and Zhang Kui was loyal to the big merchants, how could he do such a discredited thing.

"General Zhang, please get up. ”

Deng Jiugong glanced at Zhang Kui, and sure enough, his appearance was extraordinary, and there was a murderous aura between his eyebrows, and he was worthy of being named the "Seven Killing Stars" after his death.

"Generalissimo Xie. ”

Zhang Kui was also secretly looking at Deng Jiugong, a few years older than him, but his face revealed a born temperament, like a quiet guest. He was secretly surprised, Deng Jiugong was not weak.

"General Zhang has meritorious service in guarding the rope pool, and the hundred officials have great praise for you, saying that you have the talent of a marshal. ”

Zhang Kui said without humility or arrogance: "These are all matters within the duties of the lower officials, and compared with the generalissimo's pacification of the Xiqi rebellion, it is really not worth mentioning." Generalissimo, the city of Rope Pond is small and cannot accommodate 200,000 troops, and I ask you and the generals to move to the small city, and the officials should be hospitalized. ”

Deng Jiugong was not in a hurry, so he nodded and said, "There is General Lao Zhang." ”

"Generalissimo, please!"

In the eyes of the generals, Zhang Kui should be polite to Deng Jiugong, after all, Deng Jiugong's identity is there, if it is rude, it is a dereliction of duty, and when it reaches the ears of the imperial court, it will inevitably be punished, and then I am afraid that he will be demoted. But Deng Jiugong was so polite to Zhang Kui, which made them a little puzzled, why did a little-known guard general be treated like this by the generalissimo.

Chen Qi's eyes flickered, remembering that when he first saw the generalissimo, he had not made an inch, and he was entrusted with heavy use. The handsome is different from ordinary people, this Zhang Kui can be treated like this by the handsome, but I am afraid that the skills of his subordinates are not weak.

Deng Jiugong nodded, and asked Zhao Sheng to lead the army to garrison the city and camp for cooking. He took the generals into the city with Zhang Kui, and Zhang Kui did not ride his first divine horse "One-horned Black Smoke Beast" out of the city, but only greeted the general on foot with a rope pond to show respect for Deng Jiugong.

This made Deng Jiugong very pleased, and ordered Tailuan to dismount and give up Maxima to Zhang Kui. Zhang Kui was a little flattered, and hurriedly said: "Generalissimo, this can't be helped, how can the subordinate He De be able to take the general's BMW." ”

Deng Jiugong said lightly: "It's just a horse, General Zhang doesn't have to be polite." ”

Tailuan said: "General Zhang, if you want to be so polite, then I can only walk with you to the rope pond." ”

When Zhang Kui heard this, he had no choice but to turn over and get on the horse, and he glanced at Deng Jiugong very gratefully.
