On February 4th, nearly a month has passed since the army under Gong Shangming completely defeated the Tianjue Empire’s army, but there were not many smiles on the Tianji Temple in Tianji City, and I could only listen to it in the past month. Bad news one after another.
"The bow is handsome." The eunuch announced in a loud voice.
A group of civil and military soldiers looked sideways, and saw Gong Shangming dressed in military uniform, with a long sword on his waist, and gilt boots walking into the hall step by step on the blood-red carpet.
In the battle of Dongning City, Gong Shang was famous all over the world, and he was already the veritable No. 1 general in the Tianji Empire. After Zhang Sheng died in the battle, all the generals were helpless, this scholar stood up and turned the tide, not only won the United States. At the same time, he also achieved his position above ten thousand people under the Tianji Empire.
Even the Emperor Bei Mingyuan paid much attention to this Confucian Marshal.
"Gong commander is here, give a seat." Bei Mingyuan said.
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Gong Shangming knelt on his knees and said: "But the Weichen could not be seated. New news came from a distance. This news made Weichen feel very dull."
"Oh, what news."
"Sikongyao and Baize mercenaries occupied Huoyuan City, and the dozen states and counties of the entire Huoyuan province fell one by one. The Baize mercenaries had a great appetite. The province has also swallowed it in one bite."
"Unreasonable."
Bei Mingyuan shot the case, his face was full of anger: "What the hell is this little girl Sikongyao thinking, is she robbing and robbing me, and dividing my half of the country, commander bow, you, as the imperial marshal, are in Dongning? City One battle defeated the millions of troops of the Tianjue Empire, you must have a way to retake the two major provinces from Sikong Yao, right?"
Gong Shangming's face was green: "Your Majesty Qi Zou, the ministers can't."
"Why."
Gong Shangming raised his head to look at Bei Mingyuan, and said: "First, our treasury is already in deficit, and we can't take out more food and weapons to fight. Secondly, our military strength has declined to an unprecedented level, Dongning City. The First World War was a decisive battle with the Tianjue Empire’s millions of armies with the power of our Tianji Empire. After the First World War, Chen Yu was defeated, and we were not much better. The Yanji Corps and Lanji Corps were newly formed There are only less than 200,000 horses left in the army of nearly 500,000 horses, and there are many seriously injured. Many wounded soldiers cannot step on the battlefield again. On the other hand, Sikong Yao, Bai Ze mercenary only has one chance to directly enter the battlefield. An ambush on the border of Huoyuan Province did not lose much at all. Instead, it captured a lot of the troops of the Tianjue Empire. Together with the troops they recruited, the Baize mercenaries now have at least 250,000 troops. In terms of strength, we are no longer above the Baize mercenary."
"What..." Bei Mingyuan felt a little bit cold when he heard it, and said: "I knew I shouldn't have invited Baize mercenaries to come for reinforcement.
Gong Shangming smiled faintly: "Your Majesty, you are not confused. If you don't have Sagong Yao's Baize mercenaries who are not returning to the forest, I am afraid Chen Yu will not be defeated. If you do not invite Sagong Yao to come, the Tianji Empire will surely perish. "
"Now, what should I do?" Bei Mingyuan asked with a gray face.
Gong Shangming said: "The Baize mercenary is indeed a bad thing to lead wolves into the house, but we are not incapable of turning bad things into good things."
"Oh, please say Shuai Gong."
"Your Majesty, after all, Sikongyao has not completely ridden with us. She is still the Xiping County Lord of the Tianji Empire. In my opinion, it is better to give Sikongyao an edict and order her to lead Baize mercenaries. Going south to attack the mountain provinces of the Blackstone Empire, so that we can take advantage of the emptiness and seize the two major provinces in one fell swoop. This trick is called the snipe and the clam fight for the fisherman's profit."
"good."
Bei Mingyuan stood up and said, "Follow the plan, then if Sagong Yao doesn't accept my edict."
"It's her business whether to accept it or not, and it's your majesty's business whether to issue an edict."
Gong Shangming said indifferently: "Your Majesty, the minister would like to use your golden order."
"Oh, what's the use of my golden order."
"The minister wants to go to Tianjizong to see the name of the lord Sikong. I am afraid that only his old man can restrict Sikong Yao at this moment."
"Ok… "
…
In the afternoon, the main altar of Tianjizong.
Gong Shangming, holding the golden order of the empire, led dozens of guards into the general altar smoothly. Along the way, Yingyingyanyan, it seems that the spring of the Tianjizong general altar is coming earlier than other places.
In the depths, the pear blossoms are in full bloom. In Tianji City, there is rarely such beauty and exquisiteness. Even the Imperial Garden of Tianji Temple is not so elegant and chic. In the depths of the pear blossoms, there is a thatched cottage with the name of Sikong.
A disciple walked ahead and respectfully said: "Sect Master, Marshal Gong Shangming, please see me."
"Squeak..."
The wooden door slowly opened, Si Kongming was dressed in a white robe, and stepped out vigorously, but a closer look revealed that his feet hadn't touched the ground at all, and every step was rippling with frost, which was very miraculous.
"I don't know what the marshal has to do with me, this old man." Sikongming smiled, but he was very easy-going and close.
Gong Shangming saluted immediately and respectfully said: "Old Sect Master, I am here this time for Miss Sagong Yao's business. The old Sect Master knows what Miss Sagong Yao has done recently."
Sikongming smiled slightly and said: "You mean A Yao, I don't know, A Yao has grown up, my old bones can't control her, and I won't ask what A Yao does. So I am afraid this time the marshal is here for nothing."
"Old Sovereign."
Gong Shangming's voice earnestly said, "The Baize mercenaries under Miss Sikongyao have already robbed the two major provinces of Xishan and Huoyuan in succession. Her actions are treasonous to the country. Isn't the old suzerain really sitting idly by?"
"Treason, are you there?" Sikongming looked kind and smiled: "Didn't your majesty seal her a Xishan princess, so it seems that I must have given both fiefdoms to Ayao, this is our Sikong family It’s an honor to see the smoke from the ancestral grave."
Gong Shangming frowned and said, "Old Sect Master, how can your Majesty feel so embarrassed when you say this? Miss Sikongyao captured the Huoyuan Province without even saying hello. Once your Majesty investigates this matter, I am afraid it will be difficult to deal with it. what."
Sikongming's face was cold: "What, hold on to it, if anyone dares to touch my granddaughter's hair, just try it. Don't think that Sikongming won't do it for decades. Tell you, the old man should always be healthy."
Gong Shangming was stunned: "What the old sect master meant... Miss Ayao is doing things for you outside, but once your majesty wants to sanction her, you will definitely intervene, won't you?"
"Yes… "
Sikongming gently stroked his beard and said: "The old man has already said that everything in the world has nothing to do with our Sikongming and Tianjizong. A Yao is a sensible child. I can understand what she does, but who If you want to hurt A Yao, don't blame our Sikong for spelling this old bone with him."
Gong Shangming’s face was blank. He had never seen such an unreasonable person in his life, and this person was actually the supreme master of the Tianji Sect. He is known as the strongest person on the plane of the Celestial Continent, even the bright angel Midnight. Stronger than Sikong's name, but he would never be so unreasonable to make trouble.
This is simply an old fox.
Gong Shangming thought this secretly in his heart, but he couldn't happen. Once he provokes Sikong's name, the consequences would be disastrous. Sikong's strength is unfathomable. It is possible to enter the palace and kill the king, and he can do it.
"Then... I'm leaving now."
"Don't give it away, Marshal, remember not to hurt my A Yao, otherwise, the marshal will understand."
"Yes… "
Gong Shangming slowly withdrew from Liyuan, and his face became even more ugly. He was appointed to be a marshal in danger, but now it seems that this handsome position is really not easy to sit. When Bei Minghuan was in power, he ate and drank spicy food all day long. When I was in the handsome position, I felt scared and worried all day long, almost every day was like a year.
"Gongshuai, what should I do now." The leader of the Dragon Ji Corps accompanying Custer asked with some anxiety.
"What else can I do, take one step at a time and look at it one step at a time."
Custer frowned: "I'm afraid I won't be able to wait for you to take a step and watch a step. Recently, many important officials from the court have been talking behind your back. Maybe someone will jointly impeach you, the marshal. ."
"Oh, what are they talking about me."
"They said..." Custer hesitated.
"Don't worry, go ahead, command."
"Yeah." Caster nodded and said: "They talked a lot, saying that you are the marshal of cannibalism, and ordered cannibalism when you broke the Ding Realm. Now you have been trapped in Dongning City for more than a month, and your subordinates have eaten enough. There were more than 200,000 corpses, including civilians in Dongning Province, and even the three daughters of the prefect. They said, you cannibal marshal is not even a man, so how can you be a marshal? Well, Shuai Gong, don't be angry, these... are just words of jealousy of some villains."
"I know… "
Gong Shangming stood in the cold wind, and the marshal's cloak slowly flew up, but the body under the cloak looked a little thin. He sighed and said: "It's cold, go back earlier."
"Yes."
However, when Gong Shangming came to the edge of the horse, he stepped on the stirrups several times and even leaned down on the horse's back, pressing his face tightly in the saddle. The saddle was very cold but not cold. Gong Shangming didn't know if what he was doing was right or wrong, he didn't even know whether he should take the left foot or the right foot in the next step.
"Gongshuai, are you okay." Custer whispered.
"fine… "
Gong Shangming raised his head and said: "It seems that the old Sect Master of Sikong Ming will not go through this road. We must think of other ways to recapture the two major provinces from Sikong Yao, otherwise the south will be uneven and the sky The Ji Empire will soon be shattered."
Custer nodded: "Yes."
He supported Gong Shangming on his horse and held the reins, but said: "Does the commander Gong want to continue fighting for those ungrateful villains?"
Gong Shangming straightened his iron helmet, his eyes were like torches: "No, I continue to fight for my eternal fame, not for them, and never again..."
