After Bai Yutian and Jing Ling parted ways, Jing Ling's words still lingered in Bai Yutian's mind.
He had never had much contact with Gu Chengxuan before and didn't know him at all. He only knew that he was Gu Taizhong's second son and that he had some ink in his belly.
Gu Chengfeng's bravery left an indelible impression on Bai Yutian and others. One man fought nine people.
In the end, he took the initiative to seek death and killed this man.
But now, it seems that Gu Chengxuan is not as dangerous as Gu Chengfeng.
Gu Taizhong is scheming and scheming; Gu Chengfeng is brave and good at fighting and powerful; Gu Chengxuan assesses the situation and strategizes.
If Bai Yutian hadn't traveled through time, the ten predecessors wouldn't have been any match for the Gu family.
At this moment, the figure of Gu Lianxi, that charming woman, suddenly appeared in Bai Yutian's mind.
In fact, Bai Yutian and Gu Lianxi had no feelings at all. In his impression, Gu Lianxi seemed to have no other means besides temptation and beauty.
"Why!"
With a sigh, Bai Yutian summoned Kou Wang and others and began to discuss strategies for attacking Dashun.
Even unparalleled generals like Jing Ling were unable to invade the Dashun National Citadel, and even with the Musket Battalion, they were unable to gain an advantage.
Dashun's army is definitely stronger than they imagined.
At this time, Yuzhou City.
The battle report from the front line came, Gu Chengxuan was at the head of the officials, with his head held high.
On the dragon chair above the main hall, Shizi dodges his eyes and huddles together.
Looking at it, it seems that Gu Chengxuan is the emperor and Shi Ziyong is just a minister.
Gu Chengxuan now is even more majestic than Gu Taizhong back then.
Above the court, there were swords in hand, but no one dared to say anything.
"General Deng, what do you mean by unknown life and death?"
Gu Chengxuan's eyes were stern, his tone was low, and his pressure was astonishing.
Even people like Deng Hong, who have experienced many battles, are somewhat at a disadvantage.
"For the record, Prime Minister, after we left, it rained heavily and the fire was quickly put out."
"Therefore, we have no way of knowing whether Jing Ling is dead or alive, but I have sent spies to find out the news."
Deng Hong broke into a cold sweat and felt uneasy.
At this time, Gu Chengxuan walked towards Deng Hong, his sword already unsheathed and glowing with an icy cold light.
"General Deng, do you still remember that you issued a military order before leaving, and you will be able to bring Jing Ling's head back? Otherwise, I will chop off your head to apologize."
In terms of strength alone, Gu Chengxuan is no match for Deng Hong.
But inside and outside the main hall, and even in Yuzhou City, there are people from Gu Chengxuan.
As long as he makes any resistance, not only him, but the entire family will be implicated.
Deng Hong quickly knelt down to Gu Chengxuan, "Prime Minister, please forgive me. That Jing Ling resisted with all his strength. He had hundreds of wounds on his body. Even if the fire is extinguished, he may not be able to survive."
At this time, many ministers around him also began to plead for Deng Hong.
"Prime Minister, now is the time to employ people. General Deng's martial arts are superb and can be of great use."
"Prime Minister, think twice. General Deng has made great contributions to the establishment of Dashun. He is guilty and meritorious."
…
These ministers knelt down to Gu Chengxuan, but did not pay any attention to the stones on the dragon throne.
Suddenly, Gu Chengxuan stopped and looked at Deng Hong thoughtfully.
"General Deng, I think you are a meritorious minister. I will not kill you today."
"However, death penalty can be avoided, but living crime cannot be escaped. You cannot escape responsibility for the failure of the Battle of Tancheng."
"Now you will be demoted three levels, and your original position will be taken by Deng Yong."
Hearing that Gu Chengxuan bypassed him, Deng Hong was so excited that he quickly knelt down to thank Gu Chengxuan.
"Thank you, Prime Minister. Thank you, Prime Minister."
Gu Chengxuan sneered, turned around, came to the top of the hall, and stood above the officials.
"It turns out that this is what the emperor feels like. He is the common ruler of the world and is above all others." Gu Chengxuan sighed secretly in his heart.
It's a pity that if Zhou Dynasty is not eliminated, he will never be able to become the real emperor. This is why Gu Chengxuan did not kick away the pebbles and became the emperor himself.
If he wants to be the real emperor, he must rule the world. Even the Shanu Kingdom, the Three Northern Kingdoms, and the Nanyuan Kingdom must come under his rule.
"Pass my order to mobilize the reserve troops from Yinzhou and Raozhou and send them to the front line of Dashun Kingdom."
Everyone was frightened and looked at each other.
The reserve armies in these two places are all composed of farmers from the Tianyi Army. Although their combat effectiveness is average, their numbers are astonishing.
Could it be that Gu Chengxuan's move was an attempt to continue provoking a war.
