Not to mention that the Taoshan brothers sent people to Jiamengguan to invite merit, but said that Yang Jian left the Jiamengguan camp and set up a cloud head, but it didn't take much time to come to the Zhou camp of Bishui Pass.

In the Zhou camp, Jiang Ziya heard that the soldiers came to report that Yang Jian wanted to see him, and knew that something had happened to Jiamengguan, so he hurriedly asked Yang Jian to enter the account.

Yang Jian entered the big tent, and Jiang Ziya hurriedly asked: "Senior nephew, you didn't assist General Nangong in Jiamengguan, but came to the camp of Bishui Pass, but what happened to Jiamengguan?"

"Uncle Jiang, there are indeed some changes over there in Jiamengguan. We were ordered by Uncle Jiang to attack Jiameng Pass, but before we reached Jiameng Pass, we encountered a group of men and horses blocking the way. At the moment, although we killed a few monks who blocked the way, but because of the previous wave of ambushes, there are less than 30,000 of the 100,000 horses left, and we are no longer able to continue to attack Jiameng Pass, and General Nangong was also unfortunately killed in that ambush, so I came to Uncle Jiang, hoping that Uncle Jiang will send someone to preside over the overall situation. ”

Jiang Ziya's expression changed: "Where did you encounter the sacred, and why did you suffer such a big loss?"

Hearing this, Yang Jian explained: "Uncle Hui, the one who is blocking our way is the Taoshan cultivators. The leader of them is named Yuan Hong, who is a disciple of the third generation of the sect, and his strength is even stronger than mine. It's just that something happened later, and Yuan Hong was taken away by his master. Therefore, when we saw that the enemy army had lost its leader, we planned to rob the camp that night, but the enemy army seemed to have expected that our army would rob the camp, so we set up an ambush early. Although Jin Zhe and I fought and killed two enemy soldiers, our sergeants suffered heavy losses under the ambush, and General Nangong was also tragically attacked by the enemy in the melee. ”

Jiang Ziya was silent for a moment, and said slowly: "It seems that there are also capable people in the enemy army. In this case, I have to go to Jiamengguan in person. ”

After that, Jiang Ziya ordered all kinds of affairs, and then called Nezha, led 50,000 soldiers and horses, and followed Yang Jian to Jiameng Pass.

And just when Jiang Ziya led the troops to Jiameng Pass, in Jiameng Pass, Hu Sheng also received a messenger sent by Gao Ming Gao Jue and others. Seeing the good news sent by Gao Ming and Gao Jue, Hu Sheng naturally understood their thoughts. After calling the messenger, Hu Sheng said: "You go back, tell your general, let him stop Zhou Bing with peace of mind, and I will naturally ask for merit for him." ”

The herald was ordered to go back. And Hu Sheng also sent a fast horse to send the victory to Chaoge.

Not to mention that after Gao Ming Gao Jue and others received the return of the heralds, they were overjoyed and stepped up the reorganization of their troops and horses, preparing to deal with the next attack from the Zhou army, but said that Hu Sheng sent fast horses and rushed all the way, but the news was transmitted to Chaoge within a few days.

On this day, Zi Shou was discussing state affairs with Wen Zhong, Huang Feihu and other big business ministers in a side hall, while Ye Xuan was lying leisurely on a recliner on the side to listen under the eyes of everyone. At this moment, a guard suddenly came to report, saying that there was good news from Jiamengguan.

Hearing this, Zishou was slightly stunned, if it was the news of the loss of Jiameng Pass, he would not be surprised, after all, in the previous planning, these border passes were finally to be abandoned. But now Jiamengguan has come with good news, which makes him a little surprised. However, surprised to surprised, Zishou still had the messenger brought over.

The messenger entered the side hall, bowed to the people, and presented the information to the son.

After taking the information and browsing it roughly, Zishou first asked people to bring the messenger down to receive the reward, and then looked at the inquiring eyes of everyone, and then said: "Jiameng Pass has the help of strangers, a few days ago the rebels wanted to rob the camp, but they were detected in advance, but they were ambushed, and there were few of the 100,000 rebels who came to attack Jiameng Pass, and even the rebel commander Nangong Shi was killed." Right now, Hu Sheng is asking for credit for those strangers who came to help me Dashang. ”

Hearing the news that it was the big break of the Zhou army, Wen Zhong laughed and said: "Good, good, good, good fight, Your Majesty, according to the old minister's opinion, these strangers should be rewarded, and they should be rewarded." First, it can show His Majesty's determination to fight rebellion, second, it can also inspire the fighting spirit of the front-line soldiers, and third, it can also show that our great merchants attach great importance to talents, and can attract more talented people to join our great merchants. Therefore, these men deserve a reward, and they should be rewarded heavily. As he spoke, Wen Zhonghua's white beard curled up, but he looked very happy.

When Huang Feihu, Bigan and others heard Wen Zhong say this, they also seconded the proposal.

Seeing this, Zishou immediately said: "Uncle Zhong, the intention is to be made." Passed on the edict of King Gu, Feng Gaoming Gao Jue was the general of the expedition to the west, and the reward was a thousand gold, and Feng Changhao, Jin Dasheng, and Wu Long were the rebellious generals, and they were also rewarded with a thousand gold. At the same time, a hundred jars of imperial wine were given to reward the front-line soldiers. ”

After the draft decree was completed, because the good news came, everyone was in a good mood, so they discussed for a while, and everyone dispersed.

When everyone dispersed, Zishou looked at Ye Xuan, who had not spoken from beginning to end: "Teacher, the Jiameng Pass guard Hu Sheng is currently guarding the Jiameng Pass with the help of several strangers who defected to my big business, and no matter what the battle situation of Bishui Pass and Qinglong Pass is, as long as Jiameng Pass is not lost, Zhou Jun will not dare to go deeper." Does the teacher think this is a blessing or a curse for my big business?

Taking a sip of tea, Ye Xuan said lightly: "It's just a small matter, how can it affect the overall situation? Do you think that they can really hold the Jiameng Pass? Although there is a small victory at the moment, unless we reinforce at any cost, if we want to hold these three passes, with the current garrison of the three passes, even if there is foreign aid, it is almost impossible." ”

Zishou frowned: "However, before the Zhou army attacked Sanguan in three ways, after this battle, the Jiameng Pass was almost abolished." In such a situation, what will the Zhou army use to attack Jiameng Pass? And as long as Jiameng Pass is not lost, Bishui Pass will be impregnable. ”

Shaking his head, Ye Xuan said, "It seems that your mind has not yet gotten rid of the traditional war. You must remember that this great war was a war between monks, and although the fighting between armies could not be said to be insignificant, it did not play a decisive role. I know better than you about the battle over there at Jiamengguan. After several battles, although the Zhou army lost a large number of soldiers because of the ambush, and even the commander was killed, the strength of the monks in the Zhou army's camp was almost unscathed, and only Ji Kang, who could barely be regarded as a monk, died. On the other hand, although the group of Taoshan monks had an advantage on the surface, but since the battle, three people have died at the hands of the Zhou army. Soldiers killed in battle can be reinforced, but monks killed in battle cannot be replaced. In this way, do you really think that they have any advantage? Moreover, the last time the Zhou army robbed the camp and was ambushed, it can be said that it all relied on the supernatural powers of Momoyama Gao Ming and Gao Jue. It's just that after the Zhou army was ambushed once, most of them would be vigilant, and after this battle, it can be said that they almost didn't want to find an opportunity to hit the Zhou army so hard. In this way, although it seems that they have the upper hand now, defeat is only a matter of time. Thinking that the Zhou army had lost so many soldiers, most of them would send reinforcements, and when the Zhou army came to support, most of them would be defeated. Therefore, according to the original plan, if you can keep it, you can defend it, and if you can't hold it, you will withdraw. Try to preserve the vitality as much as possible. ”

Hearing Ye Xuan say this, Zishou nodded understandingly.

Seeing this, Ye Xuan smiled slightly, and the son can be taught.
