The barbarian army, a total of 200,000 troops gathered together, was vast and powerful, and there were even bursts of screams from spirit demons, shocking the sky.
The momentum of the 180,000 soldiers of the Suppressing Barbarian Army was completely concealed. Especially after Huangfu Dalong took action, everyone felt that the pressure was greatly increased.
Usually, an expedition to Tianjing means that the two countries have entered the final stage of decisive battle. The barbarians are very determined this time.
Either they really want to negotiate a peace, or they really start a war and fight to the end.
No matter what the situation is, Yang Wu is the real key.
Fen Tianxiong and other generals were discussing matters in front of the formation. Their expressions were extremely solemn, and the pressure was evident.
"Marshal, the words of the barbarians cannot be trusted. It is better to attack them now." A general suggested.
"Yes, with our military strength we may not be afraid of them." Jin Nian agreed.
"If you can deal with the other side's super-powerful Heavenly Realm warriors, I will start a fight." Fen Tianxiong frowned and said calmly.
At this moment, everyone was speechless.
After a while, Xu Tinghong said: "We have sent people back as soon as possible to report to the court. These seven days are just a good time to wait for the court to come for help."
"I think everything can be solved by bringing Yang Wu back," Cao Jianda said.
"Yang Wu is a traitor. This is a very obvious fact. Why do you still believe in him, Old Cao?" Qin Bu of Southern Qi said angrily.
"Why do you think he is a traitor? I think this time the barbarians came with sincerity." Cao Jianda asked.
"The barbarians have been fighting with us for more than a hundred years. If they can say so, they are no longer barbarians. Why can Yang Wu let them stop fighting with us for ten years? I think you were bribed by his pills." Qin of Southern Qi Talk to Cao Jianda.
When Cao Jianda wanted to respond, Fen Tianxiong said loudly: "That's enough. Now is not the time to quarrel. We are all on guard and ready to fight at any time. We will wait until the court's reinforcements arrive before we argue." After a pause, he said again: "Old Cao, you sent someone to find Yang Wu’s whereabouts, he was the one who started this matter, and I’m afraid he will end it in the end.”
"Okay, I'll send someone to find him, but I can't guarantee whether he will come back." Cao Jianda did not refuse.
…
On the Barbarian Army side, not only Huangfu Dalong came, but Huangfu Zhanxiong also came in person again, which showed that he attached great importance to this matter.
Huangfu Dalong brought the news back to Huangfu Zhanxiong and told it to Huangfu Zhanxiong. After hearing this, Huangfu Zhanxiong laughed and said, "That's so good, that's so good!"
"Yes, if the people of Daxia really believe that Yang Wu is a traitor, they may be able to let him join our barbarian tribe and strengthen our tribe's strength." Huangfu Dalong said with a smile.
"It's not that easy, but you have to try. It's not that simple for Yang Wu to get the approval of the three guardians." Huangfu Zhanxiong said.
"I have already said that if we don't see Yang Wu within seven days, we will attack. Daxia will definitely ask for help. How should we deal with it?" Huangfu Dalong asked.
"It's useless for anyone from Daxia to come. This matter must be done." Huangfu Zhanxiong said.
"Then we still want to attack?"
"Let's take a look first. I think Brother Yang Wu might come to us to discuss it."
…
The royal city of Daxia.
Above the Jinluan Hall, the Emperor Daxia convened all civil and military officials for an urgent meeting.
"Now that the barbarians have led an army of 200,000 to suppress the territory, what good strategies do you have?" the Emperor of Daxia asked in a deep voice.
"Your Majesty, the barbarians have just been defeated, and they still dare to invade. They really think that we in Great Xia are all invincible. I believe that Marshal Fen must have a strategy to retreat from the enemy." A civil servant stood up and said.
"Yes, Marshal Fen is powerful in battle, and his ability to lead an army is unmatched by anyone. With him at the border, it will be difficult for the barbarians to go north." Someone else said.
General Luo Gongming stood up and snorted coldly: "That's nonsense. Even if Fen Tianxiong has three heads and six arms, he can't stop him from being killed by a strong man in the heavenly realm. As long as he dies, our army will be in chaos, so we must send out the heavenly realm." We need support from those with strong borders, otherwise it will be difficult to defend the border."
"General Luo is right. Your Majesty, please ask someone from the Heaven Realm to suppress the situation." A military attaché stood up and agreed.
"Yes." The emperor agreed without thinking.
Immediately afterwards, he added: "However, there is something fishy about the barbarian oppression this time. It is rumored that it is related to Yang Wu, the general of our army. What do you think?"
"The traitor Yang Wu shall be punished!" Someone immediately responded aggressively.
"Yes, he should have been killed in the first place, but now he is in danger of raising a tiger!"
"I suggest killing Yang Zhennan and his wife first, and then additionally punish the nine other clans."
…
These civil and military officials had already gotten the agenda and knew that the barbarian army came to invade the country because of Yang Wu. On the surface, they said they were seeking peace, but in fact they wanted to cooperate with others, which was not good for Daxia.
There are also some people among them who deliberately fanned the flames, and they must charge Yang Wu with treason before he can feel at ease.
The Emperor of Daxia showed a solemn look. He had received more than that. He heard that Yang Wu was suspected to be guarded by a powerful person from the heaven realm, as well as a mysterious master. Various signs indicated that Yang Wu already had a shocking power. Opportunity cannot be suppressed by worldly things. If he really treats Yang Wu like this, I'm afraid it will cause a lot of trouble.
Even though he has someone to rely on behind him, it doesn't mean that he can remain indifferent to threats from heaven and above.
At this moment, a loud voice rang out in the palace: "The guilty minister Xue Gui asks to see the emperor."
The guilty minister Xue Gui.
These four words were like a bolt from the blue, shocking the entire palace.
Ten years ago, Xue Gui, the first weapon refiner in the royal city, was also accused of treason in this hall. Since then, the weapon refinement pavilion has been implicated. Many of his disciples and disciples were killed and imprisoned, almost all of them. Only he reluctantly fought his way out and fled to a foreign race.
Over the years, Xue Gui has become the "disgrace of Great Xia" and has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
Everyone thought of him as a traitor who collaborated with the enemy and betrayed his country, killing his compatriots, and taught future generations to learn from him. He was notorious.
As Xue Guiyuan infiltrated the barbarians, he also gradually faded out of sight in the court, and almost nothing about him was mentioned again.
After all, Xue Gui did not help the barbarians to deal with Daxia. Perhaps everyone knew that Xue Gui was just too popular and hated, which is why he ended up like this, so no one wanted to mention him.
Now, Xue Gui came back openly and outside the palace, which shocked everyone.
The commanders of the imperial guards guarding the palace quickly surrounded Xue Gui with hundreds of troops.
Before these people had time to intercept them, Xue Gui was already riding a wild red rabbit horse, and with the unity of man and horse, he broke through their siege and headed towards the palace gate.
"Everyone, shoot arrows to kill this traitor." The commander of the Imperial Guard ordered and shouted.
In an instant, countless arrows were fired at Xue Gui crazily.
Jingle, jingle, jingle!
These arrows were very powerful, and they were all shot by warriors in the general realm. However, when they landed on Xue Gui, they all made a clanking sound and fell, unable to penetrate Xue Gui's defensive Xuanqi armor.
"I'm just here to ask for an audience with the emperor, don't force me!" Xue Gui said indifferently while riding a wild red rabbit horse.
"Bold Xue Gui, if you still have the nerve to come back, I, Meng Helang, will capture you alive today." Meng Helang, already one of the commanders of the imperial guards, rushed over immediately and killed Xue Gui directly.
Meng Helang is already a genuine king of the primary realm of Earth and Sea. His combat prowess is quite impressive and he has been consolidating his status as a king for some time.
Meng Helang had no intention of holding back at all, and once he made a move, it was a special move, as if a surging river was rushing towards Xue Gui.
"Get lost!" Xue Gui didn't even look at Meng Helang. He just slapped a palm with his backhand. A flash of flame suddenly appeared and smashed Meng Helang's attack into powder on the spot. There was even a palm print on Meng Helang's chest. Print it.
puff!
Meng Helang's body flew upside down, a mouthful of blood spurted out, and he was hit heavily ten feet away. His life and death were unknown.
Ten years ago, Xue Gui was one of the top ten masters in the royal city. Even though there are many talents in the current generation, compared with him, a veteran king, he is still a lot younger.
"Xue Gui, you traitor, you still have the guts to return to the royal city, you are simply seeking death." A king shouted angrily.
The next moment, there seemed to be an eagle cry, and two eagle shadows appeared with momentum. Two people riding two eagle kings intercepted Xue Guizheng in front of him. These were the first and second commanders of the Flying Eagle Cavalry.
The first commander is Guofeng Ling, who is known as the "Little Eagle King", and the second commander is "Thunder Eagle" Xie Zhen. The former is in the realm of an intermediate king, and the latter is infinitely close to the realm of an intermediate king.
In addition, Zhu Mo, the commander of the Imperial Guard, quietly appeared. His strength was no less than Guo Feng Ling. He was riding a tiger-shaped pig king. He was a mutated spirit demon with special abilities.
After Xue Gui opened his mouth, so many kings stopped him, which showed that the palace was heavily guarded.
However, they are only superficial blocking forces, and some hidden forces are also in place one after another. As long as Xue Gui dares to take another half step, they will appear and kill him.
"Get out of the way, I want to ask the Emperor." Xue Gui looked coldly at the three kings who were blocking him and said quietly.
"Xue Gui, you traitor has the nerve to come back. I will make your blood splash five steps today." Xie Zhen, the thunder eagle, pointed at Xue Gui from afar with the thunder knife in his hand and shouted.
Xie Zhenmo is about forty-five years old, with a dignified appearance, wearing a suit of battle armor, with a battle hoop on his head, glowing with thunder and energy, and full of awe-inspiring righteousness.
"Xue Gui, don't struggle in vain. You must have come here today with the intention of dying. You might as well die to apologize." Little Eagle King said quietly in passing.
Shi Ling was a few years younger than Xie Zhen. He was the proud disciple of the White Eyebrowed Eagle King, one of the top ten kings of the previous generation. He controlled the Flying Eagle War Cavalry and guarded every corner of the imperial city.
On the other side, Zhu Mo, as the commander of the imperial guards, had two thousand people behind him, and they were all ready to use their bows and slaves to enter battle.
After Xue Gui glanced at them coldly, he slowly took out a soldier from behind and said: "If you want to stop me, then ask me first, 'What is my crime, Xue Gui's crime?'"
As soon as his voice fell, the soldiers shot up into the night.
Ask for a sword.
