Capital.
At this time, in late spring and early summer, the weather is getting hotter.
People were coming and going on the street, and vendors and footmen were busy doing their own business.
There is a war going on in Yanmen Pass, but ordinary people don't seem to have any feelings and are still living their small lives.
Only tea drinkers in the teahouse would occasionally talk about the war at Yanmen Pass as a topic of conversation after dinner.
That's how ordinary people are, as long as the fire doesn't burn their butts, they don't worry about anything.
A letter eagle flew across the sky of the capital and landed in the palace.
The official in charge of Xinying's intelligence immediately took off the reed pipe and hurriedly entered the side hall of Daming Palace. Sun Yun, the Duke of Lao Zhuguo, was handling government affairs with the six ministers.
The official hurriedly walked in, came to Gongsun Yun's side, and said in a low voice: "Lao Zhuguo, there is a letter from Yanmen Pass."
Gongsun Yun immediately put down the official documents in his hands, and the six ministers also stopped their official documents and looked at Gongsun Yun together.
Opening the reed tube and opening the secret letter, Gongsun Yun frowned and read it, then he breathed a long sigh of relief and said happily: "The Holy Lord and King Wu defeated the ghost tribe at Yanmen Pass. Wu Sheng was seriously injured by King Wu. The ghost girl led the ghost tribe to retreat, and Yanmen Pass was defended. Got it!" Bayi Chinese website
When the six ministers and officials in the palace heard this, they had expressions of disbelief on their faces.
Everyone said that the ghost clan was powerful, everyone said that the ghost clan was difficult to deal with, and everyone said that Yanmen Pass was difficult to protect.
Unexpectedly, Yanmen Pass was not only defended, but also severely injured the Martial Saint and the Ghost Clan.
"What are the casualties?"
Wang Wei, the Secretary of the Ministry of War, asked. Gongsun Yun handed the secret letter to Wang Wei and said: "It's roughly the same. Fifty thousand ghosts were killed, and fifty thousand of our troops were killed."
Wang Wei's face showed a look of surprise, and he slapped the table and said, "Okay, okay, that means the ghost tribe is almost the same as us."
Everyone had a look of surprise on their faces.
Everyone originally thought that this victory would come at a heavy price, but they didn't expect to play so well.
"We will definitely win this war!"
Xu Ming, Minister of Industry, slapped the table and laughed.
Gongsun Yun leaned on the Grand Master's chair, clapped his hands on the armrests, and said happily: "Okay, okay, your Majesty has won a great victory."
"Send an order to tell all the officials in the capital that the Holy King Wu defeated the ghost tribe at Yanmen Pass and achieved a great victory."
"Send orders to Jinling and Dingxicheng again to inform them of the great victory at Yanmen Pass."
Duan, the Minister of Hubu, both smiled and said: "Old Zhuguo, maybe the Holy One has already sent a decree to fix Xicheng and Jinling City. Do we still need to send another order?"
Gongsun Yun said with a smile: "It doesn't matter, maybe Your Majesty will be a little slower and make everyone happy earlier."
Let everyone know about the great victory of Yanmen Pass one day earlier, and let everyone feel at ease one day earlier.
The official responsible for delivering the message immediately followed Gongsun Yun's wishes and sent the message to Jinling City and Dingxi City.
Good news was posted in the market and four city gates of the capital, telling the people of the capital that Long Chen and the Empress had won the battle at Yanmen Pass, and that the ghost tribe had been repulsed.
...
Gui Tai and Qin Hao led five hundred dead soldiers towards Xixia. A ghost general came from behind, and Gui Tai stopped immediately.
"Holy Son, Your Majesty has an order, please take some more people back."
The ghost will report immediately.
The ghost fetus felt strange and asked, "How much does the queen want?"
There are less than 20,000 ghost soldiers left, so Gui Fei just plans to capture 20,000 people.
If each ghost soldier eats one, his body can recover and his cultivation level can be improved. That's enough.
The ghost general said: "This general doesn't know. The priest only asked me to deliver these decrees."
The ghost general doesn't know the ghost girl's true intention, so he doesn't dare to say anything nonsense.
Qin Hao was listening nearby and had already figured out what was going on.
"Holy Son, we suffered heavy losses in this battle. I think Your Majesty wants to train more soldiers, so let us capture more people and go back."
Guite didn't understand and asked, "Take people back and train more warriors?"
The warriors of the ghost clan are either the ghost clan living in the ice field or the warriors left behind by the Martial Saint.
Apart from that, there is nothing else.
Gui Fei had never heard that humans could be trained to become warriors, unless he used meat and vegetables to turn people into half-ghosts like he did at White Bone Mountain.
But doing so takes a long time, and a hot spring is required for the meat and vegetable garden.
There are no hot springs in the ice field, so it is impossible to establish a meat and vegetable garden.
Therefore, the ghost fetus did not understand why the ghost girl gave such an order.
Qin Hao had seen the ghost girl convert dead soldiers with blood and said: "The blood of the mistress can turn ordinary people into warriors. Maybe the mistress wants to increase the number of warriors."
The ghost was silent for a moment, then said to the ghost general: "I understand."
The ghost general saluted, returned to his horse, and rushed to the north of Kal Lake.
If you rush into Xixia to arrest people, the people you capture must not be very good.
Even if such an ordinary person is transformed into a warrior, his combat effectiveness is very poor.
The ghost tribe doesn't need such warriors, so they are for the Martial Saint.
Thinking of this, Gui Fei said no more.
The two men continued to march to Xixia with five hundred dead soldiers.
...
Yanmen Pass.
Yu Fuguo lay on the bed and drank a bowl of ghost blood, and the pain slowly subsided.
Wu Jian took out the liquor next to him, dipped a cotton swab in it, and said, "Wipe it yourself in the next few days to prevent infection and pus."
Wu Jian learned these words "infection" from Long Chen.
Yu Fuguo was filled with joy and said: "Thank you, General Wu, for your good craftsmanship. My lifelong wish has come true."
Wu Jian smiled, but thought to himself: The half-ghost body cannot have children, so it would be useless to take it back.
Yu Fuguo looks like a man, but he is unable to have children, and he looks the same as he does without.
Of course, it looks better on the face of it.
"General Wu, don't you plan to take him back yourself?"
Yu Fuguo glanced at Wu Jian's crotch and said with a smile.
Wu Jian smiled and said, "Don't worry, wait until the battle is over. If we don't destroy the ghost clan, life or death will be unpredictable."
Yu Fuguo smiled and couldn't answer.
Yu Fuguo was worried about dying in the war, so he rushed to take him back so that he could leave a whole body after his death.
"Get some rest."
Wu Jian smiled, packed his things and went out.
New soldiers are being selected for training outside. The Long family army has the most people signed up. The Nanliang soldiers are not very active. They have seen how brutal the elite soldiers fight and are a little scared.
Wu Jian walked straight over, and when he arrived at the door of the room, he saw Feng He coming back with an old man.
"Who is this?"
Wu Jian stepped forward curiously and asked.
Feng He pointed at the old man and said, "Ma Feizi, it was he who provided Martial Saint with 200,000 war horses."
Wu Jian had heard of Ma Feizi's name and looked him over. Wu Jian sneered and said, "It's a good thing."
Ma Feizi looked at Yanmen Pass with a pale face and dark circles in his eyes, and asked: "Where is King Wu? Where is Long Chen? I want to see him."
Wu Jian felt strange, Ma Feizi wanted to see Long Chen?
Feng He immediately explained: "This guy took his two grandchildren to the ghost clan, but was eaten by the Martial Saint. He threatened to take revenge on the ghost clan, so I brought him back."
"There's another thing. The ghost fetus brought back the dead soldiers to invade Xixia and wanted to take them back."
Wu Jian said: "This news has been received a long time ago. The Holy One has sent someone to inform the Major General."
Before Feng He came back, he sent a letter to Yanmen Pass to inform him of the matter.
The empress immediately informed Long Chen and asked him to immediately pursue the ghost fetus.
"King Wu has already set off?"
Ma Feizi asked coldly with a stiff face.
"What do you want?"
Wu Jian looked at Ma Feizi coldly, and Ma Feizi said bitterly: "I will follow King Wu to destroy the ghost clan."
Wu Jian said contemptuously: "Hmph, a running dog abandoned by the ghost clan, what qualifications do you have to follow the young general."
