Yanmen Pass.
The empress walked out of the meeting hall. After the meeting, the generals hurried out. Hu Feiyang stopped Wu Jian and asked, "Xiao Wu, what did you say?"
Wu Jian still respects these two people. Although he is nothing now, he was once one of the five tiger generals alongside Long Ye. Bayi Chinese website
"Two old generals, Gan Xin and the others just brought back news that the ghost tribe has appeared."
Qiu Kuohai didn't look happy and asked, "Have we reached the outer perimeter yet?"
Wu Jian shook his head and said: "Not really, but they have already appeared in the grassland, and there are quite a few of them."
"The worst thing is that the barbarians eaten by the ghost tribe have become puppets. There may be hundreds of thousands of them."
Bai Wuchen was bitten by Li Chengdao and turned into a half-ghost. The barbarians were eaten by the ghosts and became puppets. This is not surprising. They can accept this statement.
"Barbarians, there are hundreds of thousands. The Long Family Army only has 200,000 here. How do you fight?"
Hu Feiyang knew that the Long family army was very strong, but facing hundreds of thousands of barbarian half-ghosts and an unknown number of ghosts, there was little chance of winning this battle.
Wu Jian nodded and said: "The situation is very bad. The Holy Lord just asked us to prepare for battle. Tu Zhi didn't just leave, they will also join the war."
Hu Feiyang and Qiu Kuohai both looked sad, feeling that a fierce battle was about to come.
Wu Jian looked at the two of them and said, "Old general, my young general asked you to come here. You must all know the purpose."
"The situation is critical now. We need more soldiers. The 200,000 troops recruited by Daliang are still in the capital. You are the most suitable leader."
"I know that Daliang is gone, and you feel sad, but Li Chengdao has taken refuge with the ghost clan, and our human race is in danger. I implore you to put righteousness first."
Of course Long Chen's Xiao Jiujiu and Hu Feiyang, two veterans, could see through this.
But they had their own plan. They just wanted to use Long Chen to go to Yanmen Pass, meet Li Chengdao, and ask Li Chengdao why in person.
After that, they gave up.
As for helping Long Chen fight the war, they had no intention of doing so at the beginning, and they would not serve as officials in the Zhou Dynasty's court.
But after so many things, their ideas gradually changed.
This war is no one's war, everyone is involved.
Xixia people, Nanliang people, Eastern Zhou people, and barbarians are all involved, and no one can be immune to it.
"This matter... we still need to consider it."
Hu Feiyang didn't speak, Qiu Kuohai slowly said something.
Wu Jian sighed and said: "The past is in the past. If we can't defeat the ghost clan, everything will be over."
Wu Jian didn't force it and turned around to go to the military camp to arrange the battle.
Hu Feiyang watched Wu Jian leave and sighed, "Old enemy, what do you think?"
Qiu Kuohai said helplessly: "We will talk about it after we meet the emperor."
Hu Feiyang nodded and stood in front of the gate to watch the Long family's army prepare for war. He also helped when he needed help.
South of Yanmen Pass.
A horse came over slowly, and sitting on it was a man wearing a ghost mask. It was Ji Zhang.
The ghost mask on his face is usually made of iron, but this time it is made of wood.
Because it’s too cold in the north, it’s hard to keep the mask and face frozen together.
Looking at the busy Long family army, Ji Zhang walked forward slowly.
When the soldier saw Ji Zhang, he immediately stepped forward to stop him and asked, "What are you doing?"
Ji Zhang said with a smile: "Ji Zhang, I'm acquainted with King Wu, and I'm here to help."
Seeing that Ji Zhang dared to say that he knew Long Chen, the soldier did not dare to neglect him and said, "Please follow me."
After taking Ji Zhang into Yanmen Pass, the soldiers immediately reported to Ye Chang.
Ye Chang knew about Ji Zhang and muttered: "What is this guy doing here?"
Ye Chang also knew about the grievances between Long Chen and Tianxiahui, and Ji Zhang was the old president of Tianxiahui.
Therefore, Ye Chang doesn't like this Ji Zhang.
When they arrived outside, Ji Zhang was looking around at the busy Long family army at Yanmen Pass.
"President."
Ye Chang smiled and stepped forward to salute.
I didn't like it in my heart, but I still gave him the courtesy because Long Chen didn't break up with Ji Zhang.
Of course, there is another reason for gossip. Long Chen and Ji Zhang's daughter are good friends.
"Isn't King Wu here?"
Ji Zhang returned the gift with a smile.
Ye Chang said: "Your Excellency has gone out of the customs to investigate the news and has not come back yet. The Holy Lord is in the customs. Does the president want to see you?"
Ji Zhang immediately said: "Don't bother me. Since King Wu is not here, I will find a place by myself."
Ye Chang smiled and said: "This is so bad. When the adults come back and find out, they will definitely say that I am not polite enough."
Ji Zhang chuckled and said, "It's really not necessary. I'll bother you again when King Wu comes back."
After saying that, without waiting for Ye Chang to say anything more, Ji Zhang turned around and left.
Watching Ji Zhang go away, Ye Chang spat and continued to prepare for the battle at the pass.
As soon as Ji Zhang walked out of the pass, he met Tu Zhi leading more than a thousand people to Yanmen Pass.
When the two of them passed each other, Tu Zhi turned to look at Ji Zhang and felt that this person's aura was a bit strange.
Ji Zhang also glanced at Tu Zhi, then continued to ride away.
When they arrived at the pass, Wu Jian saw it and immediately came down and asked, "Why is Shanyu here again? Is there any problem?"
Tu Zhi immediately jumped down and said: "Uncle Wu, the ghost tribe invaded. We only have ordinary swords in our hands and cannot kill the ghost tribe."
"Can you please Uncle Wu and the Holy One to allocate some ghost-killing swords to us, which are weapons made of wood?"
Tu Zhi has a sweet mouth. He doesn't call him General Wu, but Uncle Wu.
Wu Jian suddenly said: "I was negligent and forgot this. Come with me."
Wu Jian took Tuzhi to the gate of the Empress's courtyard. The female guard asked: "General Wu, what's the matter?"
Wu Jian said: "I'd like to inform you that Shanyu wants to see you and wants some sacred wood weapons."
The female guard immediately went in to report. After a while, Yingfeng came out and said, "Chanyu, the Holy One has agreed. You and General Wu can go to the armory to get it."
Tu Zhi was overjoyed and bowed to the room: "I thank you for your kindness."
Wu Jian nodded and walked to the armory with Tu Zhi.
"Uncle Wu, King Wu's letter to me last time mentioned how to deal with the ghost clan. In addition to sacred wood weapons, there were also fire burning and beheading. Is there anything else?"
Tu Zhi asked as he walked, Wu Jian shook his head and said: "There are only these three methods for the time being, and no others have been found."
When he arrived outside, Tuzhi waved to the soldiers who were following him, and his men immediately followed.
When we arrived at the armory, there were special soldiers guarding it.
"General Wu."
When the soldiers saw Wu Jian, they immediately bowed to him.
Wu Jian said: "Bring Shanyu 100,000 wooden swords and 200,000 feather arrows."
The soldiers immediately opened the door and counted the weapons from the armory.
Tu Zhi looked troubled and asked: "Uncle Wu, there are many of us, can you give me more?"
Wu Jian was also in a dilemma and said: "Chanyu, it's not that I am stingy, but there are only so many of these. I will give them to you when more weapons are shipped later."
Tuzhi had no choice but to give him 100,000 yuan at a time, which was already a lot, so he could only use it first.
When Tuzhi came, he brought a carriage. The barbarian soldiers loaded the sacred wood weapons onto the carriage and immediately transported them back to the camp.
