"Son of Xu Che?"
Emperor Kong Qi looked extremely hesitant. It was not that he didn't know about this great general Jiu Tian Sha Tong, but he just deliberately forgot about him in a corner and didn't want to mention him.
After all, Emperor Kong Qi had managed to strip his father of his military power and treated him with the highest rank among the Three Dukes and Grand Marshals, and later disbanded and reorganized the entire Yulong Army before completely eliminating the Marquis of Changping's control over these hundreds of thousands of generals and soldiers.
Now he promoted his son to take over the command of the army to attack Wuguan and the entire Shao area. Not only was he worried, but all the civil and military officials in the court were also worried.
Now all the civil and military officials in the court are extremely dissatisfied with the Grand Marshal Xu Che. In the past, the memorials of civil and military officials and censors about his crimes piled up like a mountain. If the emperor had not ordered that the past should not be mentioned again, I am afraid that all the civil and military officials in the court would be trying their best to bring Xu Che down from power.
Even now, the turmoil has not stopped. Xu Che has the title of Grand Commandant, but he basically stays at home on sick leave, never speaking or reporting to the court, as if he is really old and sick. But think about it, it is impossible. Xu Che is not an ordinary old general. He is the Marquis of the Yulong Army and the Marquis of Changping. How can a martial arts immortal fall ill? It must be the curse of the plague god.
Emperor Kong Qi paced back and forth in the lake and the pond in front of the rockery, thinking of the 80,000 imperial troops in front of Wuguan, the rampant barbarian troops in Changdi and Tengdi, and the fall and chaotic situation in the north, and felt even more impatient.
"Issue an order to summon Grand Commandant Xu Che and his son Xu Hao."
After thinking about it, Emperor Kong Qi immediately made up his mind.
Xu Che, one of the three great ministers and the Grand Marshal of Changping, seemed to have aged a lot. Now many people in the court were eyeing him covetously, so he had to hide in his mansion to practice.
The practice of warriors consumes a lot of materials. With the power of the Great Zhou, it can only support a few martial arts immortals, let alone his own practice. After Xu Che ascended to the position of Taiwei, he naturally no longer had the situation of supporting himself with the power of an army and a state, and his practice was gradually delayed.
Therefore, the so-called practice is nothing more than lying dormant and waiting for the opportunity, either the demise of the Great Zhou or the rise of the Great Zhou. Compared with the extremely anxious Longting of the Great Zhou and Emperor Kong Qi, he can afford to wait.
Xu Hao looked young and resolute, and was taciturn, but he was extremely tall, nearly two meters. After the emperor took a few glances at him, he was very satisfied. He promoted him to the rank of Right General of the Imperial Guard on the spot and ordered him to stand guard in the palace. Before he even got home, he was rewarded with magic weapons, Snow God Pills, and Golden Armor.
Within a few days, as the imperial guards set out from Dongshe City in Gaozhou towards Wugu Pass, Xu Hao was promoted to the commander-in-chief of the imperial guards' vanguard to attack Wugu Pass. This series of operations seemed crazy and incomprehensible to ordinary people, but in Dongzhou where gods and Buddhas appeared, many people knew that Xu Hao was the reincarnation of the Jiutian Shatong General, and surprisingly few people objected.
In other words, the criticism in the memorial and the words in the memorial were not about whether Xu Hao was qualified to be the commander-in-chief of the former army, but because of his identity as the son of Taiwei Xu Che. On the contrary, his appointment as the commander-in-chief of the former army was considered natural by everyone.
When Xu Hao rushed to Dongshe City, he took the seal and the tiger order in front of all the troops. Suddenly, the eighth star of the Big Dipper in the sky shone brightly, and a ray of light shook down from the sky and landed heavily in the south of Dongzhou.
Everyone knew that this must be one of the top-ranked Zhoutian Star Gods who had appeared in the world, and once such a star appeared in the world, the overall situation in the world would change drastically again.
If it is a civil official or a noble star, it is not bad. People with this kind of destiny can change the situation in the world either by luck or by planning and promoting it in secret.
And once they encounter the appearance of the military killer star, they will directly prove their truth through killing, and when they appear in the world, corpses and bones will be everywhere.
With his strength and killing abilities, even the True Immortals on land might not be able to withstand him. Coupled with the large army and military spirit he leads, those large sects and schools can only take a detour or lock their mountain gates and dare not leave the mountains.
At this moment, Xu Hao followed the imperial army and headed towards Wuguan. The entire army could see a bloody evil spirit covering the sky and earth, stretching for hundreds of miles. Birds and beasts scattered wherever it passed, and the god He Bo along the way hid in the incense and spiritual realm and trembled.
Yan Shan, the newly rotated commander of Wuguan, is the confidant of Marquis Dingjun, and the previous commander was killed by Yan Shan himself, thus suppressing the situation of defection within Wuguan.
At night, the guard Yan Shan looked into the distance, and next to him stood the City God of Wuguan. These gods were best at observing the qi and the changes in fortune, so Yan Shan asked him to come and take a look at the imperial guards and the qi of Wuguan in the distance.
"The military spirit of Wuguan has condensed into a fire-colored black bird. This is the result of the general's martial arts skills and the luck of the entire garrison. It was originally as stable as Mount Tai, but now coming from the northeast is a bloody flag of killing. I can see a surging sea of blood and corpses everywhere attacking Wuguan under the bloody flag, and the black bird is crying in this sea of blood and mountains of corpses."
Wuguan City God looked at Yan Shan and said, "General! The killing star is showing up. In front of us are Tan Lang and Qi Sha, and behind us are Luo Hou and Po Jun."
"If he goes out, the world will be in chaos, and the gods and ghosts will cry. The general must treat it with caution."
Yan Shan's face was extremely ugly. Although he was extremely afraid of the Nine Heavens Killing Boy General in his heart, he said ruthlessly: "Wuguan is an important pass in the world. There is a fairy formation set up by the gods and immortals above, and there are elite soldiers and generals under my command."
"I, Yan Shan, will tell the world right here that this killer star is nothing."
"Even if it is the reincarnation of an immortal god, he will be defeated at this Wuguan Pass."
—————-
Fengyang County City.
In the distance, wave after wave of navy ships continued to arrive at Fengyang Lake. The large ships of the Yi people's Yeting Kingdom were coming much faster than they had imagined. A huge fire started on the dock, and a large number of charred corpses were floating in the lake.
The water god in Fengyang Lake has also fallen, and the entire incense and fire realm has been defeated. A large number of ghosts, gods and water creatures inside have been killed or devoured by the disciples of the Demon Sect, and the temple on the lakeside has also been overthrown.
The Fengyang Academy, which was originally located by the lake, had long been deserted. As soon as the barbarian fleet arrived, the principal of Fengyang Academy fled to Fengyang City with his disciples. When the barbarian soldiers broke into the academy and found nothing, they were so angry that they set fire to the academy, which had existed for hundreds of years, and turned it into ashes.
On the contrary, the disciples of the Demon Sect who arrived later were extremely panicked and angry when they saw the Fengyang Academy burned to the ground. However, they were also glad that the disciples of Fengyang Academy had left long ago. If they had died in the chaos and offended the powerful people in the academy, it would have been extremely troublesome.
If the existence behind the academy is implicated, not to mention them, even the ancestors of the Demon Sect would be trembling with fear.
Tens of thousands of troops from the Yeting Kingdom surrounded the Fengyang County City. Blood was boiling and condensing above the military flags. The sky turned blood red, as if flames were burning.
The monsters in the front, which were more than ten meters tall and as big as hills, were trapped in the iron chains. They roared and growled angrily, and could not wait to rush into the county town to have a feast.
The people of Fengyang County hid in the city and trembled, listening to the roar of the terrible demon coming from the Shiwan Mountains in fear.
Meanwhile, a great monk in Fengyang County cast a spell, causing huge waves to form in the moat. The water level continued to rise, quickly surrounding the county city and spinning continuously like the sea.
At this time, a mocking voice came from deep within the Yeting army: "What a trifle!"
A thousand-meter-tall giant rose into the sky, overlooking the county town like a god or demon. The common people and families on the streets of the city could see the upper body and terrifying face of the terrible giant god in the distance as soon as they looked up.
The demon god directly pulled up a small hill in the distance and rushed towards Fengyang City.
The air exploded layer by layer, and the hill dragged a terrifying shadow across the earth, directly hitting the city walls and formation of Fengyang County.
“Boom!”
The huge noise continued to spread, and the ground suddenly jumped up. A corner of the city wall and several streets in Fengyang City collapsed together, and at least thousands of people were buried in them. The originally flowing moat was directly cut off and filled up by the hill thrown over.
