Chapter 516: Meeting

King Kang Shangliao hesitated again and again before deciding to come to the south bank to meet the Dragon King.

Because of a group of bluffing ruffians, he changed his mind at the last moment, from destroying the bridge and closing the road to protecting the bridge and protecting the king, and seriously explained his "plan" to the Huiguo soldiers: "Let me tell you the truth, this is a clever plan formulated by the dragon king, so that you will willingly let me in, now, you have two choices: surrender to me, I promise to let you join the dragon army immediately and become a member of the victors, or directly kill me, let the soldiers outside rush in, and then kill you." ”

Outside the level, the shouts of the knife players became more and more high-pitched, as if they would break through the gate at any time and rush in, Shang Liao, who was still an independent hero of the free sea just now, carried a bloody scimitar, and talked eloquently, such a scene brought great pressure, and the hand of the guard leader had just been released from the hilt, and a group of people behind him knelt down and expressed their surrender.

Shang Liao breathed a sigh of relief, and wanted to rely on the Huiguo soldiers to revive Xiaoyaohai, but it seemed that it was still unreliable.

After opening the level and putting in the more than 100 swordsmen, Shang Liao immediately understood that he had been fooled, and he couldn't help but blush, so he could only hide his embarrassed expression by the night.

But he couldn't change his mind again, and the Huiguo soldiers were already taken aback by his rebellion, all because they were afraid of this group of "dragon troops", so they didn't kill him indiscriminately.

Shang Liao in particular could not show his panic, for an aspiring king, a farce was more deadly than a hundred fiascos.

Therefore, he solemnly received this group of guys who called themselves "Dragon King Soldiers", announced that he was the right general of the Dragon Army, and asked the other party to accept the command.

The swordsmen did not know that they had met a master who was more adept at bluffing, and they were all overjoyed and surprised, this adventure could succeed so easily, and in fact, on the way to it, there were already a dozen cowardly people who had escaped halfway.

Just like two old rivers and lakes meet, a look and a gesture can understand each other's intentions, and it is convenient for others and themselves, although the swordsmen have not yet seen through the details of Shang Liao, but they immediately have a sense of sympathy, so they enthusiastically cheered to the right general, becoming the first batch of people and horses of Shang Liao's self-built army.

It didn't take long for Shang Liao to discover that the banner of the Dragon King was more effective than independence, and a large number of deserters from the Jinpeng Army finally arrived, and Shang Liao repeated his old tricks, demanding that they surrender to him and join the "Dragon Army", so that they could be exempted from the status of prisoners.

The defeated soldiers just wanted to live, and the dragon army in hot pursuit almost drove them crazy, and when they heard that they could join the dragon army, they couldn't wait to kneel down and surrender.

It took Shang Liao less than a day to realize the first step of his dream: to have an army of his own.

It was from this time that he found how lucky he was to change his mind temporarily, and he didn't want to betray the Dragon King for the time being, but instead publicized the name of "Right General of the Dragon Army".

The royal families in Huicheng were once again divided, with some people, including Lao Hui and Lao Sha, following in the footsteps of Queen Lao An and fleeing to Biyu City, while others rushed to surrender to Shang Liao.

King Kang Shangliao occupied Huicheng and sent people to pass on the sand country, but he stopped at the border of Kangguo, and the thousand-man army directly under the dragon king had already occupied the capital of Kang, and coldly refused the request to hand over the city, "Take the will of the dragon king." ”

Shang Liao did not dare to use force to subdue his home country, so he could only pretend to be busy collecting troops in Huiguo until he received an invitation letter sent by Prime Minister Zhong Heng.

"The five kings gathered to pay tribute to the soldiers. Shang Liao sneered, knowing very well that the whole set of tricks was aimed at him, and he had a ready-made reason not to go: the newly recruited soldiers were still unstable, the border was still dangerous, and the people were panicked and needed to be appeased, but he finally came to the south bank obediently.

Shang Liao is a little afraid of the Dragon King, this young man who is several years younger than him, is empathetic on the surface, and can always give his subordinates the widest range of leeway, but behind it is hidden the ruthlessness of saying the same, Shang Liao has never seen the Dragon King kill people, only heard rumors, rarely took it seriously in the past, after meeting a few times, he believed it a little.

Gu Shenwei didn't expect what happened to Huiguo, except for sending an army of 1,000 people to Kangguo and conveying the hope of protecting the bridge to Meng Ergongzi, he didn't do anything else, and he didn't even expect Shang Liao to have a plan to destroy the bridge.

There were too many issues for him to consider at that time, and Shang Liao was just one of them.

Therefore, when Shang Liao came to see the Dragon King with apprehension, the Dragon King was also full of jealousy towards him.

The memorial ceremony was solemn and grand, a trapezoidal platform was built on the original site of the battlefield on the slope of the sea, and thousands of corpses of the fallen soldiers of the Dragon Army were stored in layers, covered with a large amount of dry firewood, and the three warlocks of the Great Snow Mountain slaughtered cattle and horses in their own way to sacrifice and sacrifice, and in the thick of smoke and dust, recited incantations that no one could understand.

Gu Shenwei lit the high platform with his own hands.

Then he knelt down on one leg, and behind him, tens of thousands of soldiers knelt down at the same time, paying tribute to their dead comrades.

A scholar wrote an impassioned eulogy, Gu Shenwei felt that the literary style was not as good as the military advisor Fang Wenshi, he didn't say anything himself, just silently repeated those words in his heart, "The soul is born for nine days, and the soul is down for nine abysses." The living are miserable, but the dead are safe. ”

After the ceremony, the dragon king will reward meritorious deeds in public, and this kind of thing has been agreed in advance, and there will be no accidents and surprises.

The female shooters of the country of incense deserved to receive the first credit, and no one fought with them, even Dugu Xian, although he felt that the main force of the battle was still male soldiers, agreed to this arrangement.

As a result, after the award, the Dragon King announced an unexpected decision: nearly 10,000 female archers will leave tomorrow and return to the land of incense.

The soldiers who had just mourned heavily at the memorial ceremony let out a sigh of disappointment.

Gu Shenwei could not keep these female archers in the army, and he had an agreement with the officials that they would not be allowed to participate in hand-to-hand combat, and that the army would return when the war was over.

The training time of this army was still too short to be a wonder soldier, but they could not be expected to play a similar role in future battles.

And the mixed camp will bring countless problems, just in the past few days, there have been many incidents of harassment and cheating, in the atmosphere of victory, Gu Shenwei can temporarily turn a blind eye, but how to deal with it in the future is a headache for him.

Gu Shenwei hoped that when a large number of pregnant women appeared among the female archers who returned to the Land of Incense, Shangguan Ru would not be too annoyed.

After the meritorious deeds, it was already afternoon, and Gu Shenwei was going to meet many people, one of whom was Old Man Mu.

"I'm also going back to the Land of Incense, Dragon King, to be honest, I think it's more useful to stay with you. ”

Shangguan Ru once told about the changes in Old Man Mu in his letter, but Gu Shenwei felt that his changes were not big enough, his martial arts had decreased a little, and his problem of being too talkative and tongue-in-cheek had not changed, which was comparable to Han Fen, a disciple of Xiaoyue Hall.

Gu Shenwei didn't believe that Old Man Mu would change his ways, and felt that it would be more appropriate to bind him to the remote country of Xiangji, since it was Shangguan Ru who let him live, she should be responsible for the aftermath, "The lotus girl will come back soon, if you stay here, I can only hand you over to him." ”

Old man Mu swallowed his saliva, his grievances with Xiaoyuetang are quite complicated, the lotus girl is not as good at talking as Shangguan Ru, his martial arts have not recovered now, if he falls into the hands of that woman, life is better than death, "Hehe, the good girl doesn't even have anyone to talk to over there, I'd better go back, does the Dragon King have any letters, small things, or something, if I bring it back, the good girl will definitely be happy, and there is no need to drink alone all the time." ”

"Nope. Gu Shenwei replied coldly.

In the evening, the Dragon King summoned Shang Liao.

This time is not a coincidence, everyone else is eating and drinking at the banquet, but Shang Liao is hungry, so he is more and more flustered, walked into the tent, and found that this is not a private conversation, General Zuo Duguxian, Prime Minister Zhong Heng is also there, and there is a young man he doesn't know.

Shang Liao was even more uneasy in his heart, and he still remained calm on the surface, but he only bowed his head slightly to the Dragon King.

The dragon king did not introduce the young man, nor did he arrange a seat, and several people stood casually around a table with a map.

"King Kang came just in time, we are discussing how to incorporate the Jinpeng Army to surrender troops, King Kang will introduce his experience. "The person who spoke was Zhong Heng.

Shang Liao suddenly felt in his heart, the Dragon King was interested in the army in his hands, without an army, no matter how big his ambition was, it would be in the air, "Dragon King, I thought we had said it." Shang Liao refused to speak directly to Zhong Heng.

Gu Shenwei had been looking at the map, and then raised his head, "What did you say?"

Shang Liao was a little anxious, his agreement with the Dragon King was only verbal, if the other party cheated, he had no evidence, "You allow me to expand the army freely." ”

"That's right, I said something like that. ”

Shang Liao breathed a sigh of relief, the Dragon King is the Dragon King after all, and he can set up countless conspiracies and tricks against the enemy, and he must do what he says to his own people, "Actually, I don't have any experience, they surrendered under the banner of the Dragon King, but not me." ”

"Well, you're still my right general, right?"

Shang Liao was shocked in his heart and almost knelt down, "Of course, why did the Dragon King say this?"

"Don't panic, since your soldiers are the Dragon Army, and you are also my right general, I hope you can perform an important task for me. ”

"The Dragon King has decreed it. Shang began to have a sense of foreboding.

"This one is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of Shule Kingdom. Gu Shenwei finally introduced the young man, he was Tie Linglong's half-brother, who had been on the run since the death of the country, and like many people, he watched the war from across the strait, and came to see the Dragon King as soon as the results were out.

Shang Liao nodded in greeting, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." "I don't understand what the Dragon King means by calling this person, Shule used to be the largest country in the Western Regions, but now the country is ruined, even if King Shule appears in person, it is not of much use.

"I want you to lead the army and go with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to recover the Shule Kingdom. Gu Shenwei said flatly, as if this was a simple task.

Shang Liao was dumbfounded, he finally knew how insidious the Dragon King was, this move was a draw from the bottom of the kettle, he was a member of the Xiaoyao Sea Royal Family, and there was no benefit in recovering the Shule Kingdom, but it would greatly affect the expansion of power in the local area.

"This ......" The Dragon King's gaze was gentle and stern, and Shang Liao didn't know how to answer.
