The cold wind blew across the Tianquan Palace and took away the tranquility.
The wind chimes hanging high on the corners of the eaves made a crisp and pleasant sound.
A few birds flew up in the wind and hovered onto the roof of Tianquan Hall.
Under the roof tiles carved from jade, a requiem incense was lit in the back hall, which made Xiao Shizhu feel refreshed. Under the blue smoke, the ghost mother who was in the back hall was still surprised.
According to previous information, the entire Qingqiu Fox Kingdom has only more than one million permanent troops, but according to Lin Cong's report, the Qingqiu Fox Kingdom is so arranged, and this is a desperate bet, taking out all the assets, and Jiuyou.
The country is fighting hard.
The Qingqiu Fox Kingdom actually pushed all the main forces and standing troops to the southern border, and to the front end of the Jiuyou National Defense Line.
This is undoubtedly a gambler's mentality; the winner is the king, the loser is the enemy, and the winner is the king, and the enemy will defeat it.
But in this way, the Qingqiu Fox Kingdom will definitely be empty behind.
What surprised the ghost mother was that where did the Qingqiu Fox Kingdom get the courage to make such a decision?
After all, if you act like this, as long as the front-line army of Qingqiu Fox Kingdom is completely lost, its territory will be in a state of no one.
The Jiuyou Kingdom is different. Even if Dongyingzhou is lost, there are Dongyizhou, Yunmengzhou, Xuanyanzhou and the entire Minghai.
On the other hand, Xiao Shizhu was not surprised. He was as calm as ever, with no worry on his face and no turmoil in his heart.
He had already predicted the situation today, not because he was a divine calculation, but because he deliberately guided the Qingqiu Fox Kingdom to form today's situation step by step.
From the dispersion of border defenses to the reinforcements to the Yingzhou were just secretly carried out, they all gave Qingqiu Fox Kingdom an illusion that the Jiuyou Kingdom's thousands of miles of defense line in the Yingzhou was only one million troops, and
It must also be scattered at various points.
Qingqiu Fox Kingdom believed this illusion of dispersed power. In addition, Xiao Shizhu arranged the largest main force in Dongyingzhou, the Dushuo Mountain defender led by King Yan Luo, is now attacking from all sides and still has to work with Si.
The You Army fought hard, which made Qingqiu Fox Kingdom even more proud.
Qingqiu Fox Kingdom is expected to be determined that once the war begins, Jiuyou Kingdom will be in a difficult position and will be difficult to take into account both the world.
Therefore, the Qingqiu Fox Kingdom dared to make a gamble decision; to push all the standing army and main forces to the southern border.
Xiao Shizhu silently put down his chopsticks, stood up, held the hilt of the Moon Sword at his waist, and slowly walked to the wall on the left side of the hall to stand still.
Although he was slow, he was also straight and steady, and he walked out of majesty. He had long lost the laziness he had in front of the Qingqiu Fox King a few days ago.
On this wall, a detailed map is steadily hung, which is a map of the Six Seas and Ten Continents of the entire underworld, imitating the entire map of the Ten Continents of the Underworld.
The mountains, rivers, rivers, and towns are clear at a glance on the map.
Xiao Shizhu raised his head slightly and looked to the northeast direction on the map. After finding Dongyingzhou, Ruju's eyes were locked in the Kuanshan area on the map.
The mountains and ridges are steep and the three rivers are in sight.
Looking at the detailed mountain patterns on the map, Xiao Shizhu concluded that once a war begins, the place where the war breaks out must be here.
Such prediction is not what happened today. As early as a few years ago, when Jiuyou Kingdom just entered Dongyingzhou, Xiao Shizhu had already made such predictions and judgments. Otherwise, he would not have secretly built a large number of them in the Mount Wuyi.
fortifications of
"Who is the enemy commander in the direction of the Vanshan Mountain?" After a long silence, Xiao Shizhu asked Lin Cong in a calm tone.
"According to information, it has not been decided yet."
Lin Cong, who also stood up and followed Xiao Shizhu to the map, shook his head and replied: "But it is very likely that it is Hu Xingyu, or Hu Qianlei, among the current generals of the Qingqiu Fox Kingdom, the one who can fight the toughest battle is this. Two ghosts."
Not only that, these two ghosts are also the most trusted generals of the Qingqiu Fox King and are also the personal guards of the Qingqiu Fox King. This time, these two ghosts are among the Qingqiu Fox Kingdom mission.
"Hu Qianlei."
When Xiao Shizhu heard Lin Cong's answer, he quickly made a judgment: "Hu Xingyu urged the Qingqiu Fox King not to start a war against our country. This move has offended the Qingqiu Fox King, and the Qingqiu Fox King even became furious because of this. Now, the Fox King of Qingqiu doesn’t like him anymore, and the Fox King of Qingqiu is a narrow-minded person and has a small weapon. If he can still use Hu Xingyu, I will look at him with admiration."
Speaking of this, Xiao Shizhu couldn't help but sneer.
What is the temperament of Qingqiu Fox King for his opponent? Xiao Shizhu has already figured it out clearly at this moment.
He also expected that as long as Hu Xingyu was not the head coach, the Mount Fun Mountain would not be able to be broken. Even the Mount Fun Mountain could eat up a large number of main forces of the enemy!
Now the main general of Mount Feng is the goddess of Gushe. This female general of the Nine Nether Kingdom has been through many battles and has rules for commanding and dispatching troops. Xiao Shizhu also fought side by side with her in Dongyizhou, and was in charge of her military affairs. The talent is also clear.
I also know that this ghost is not only good at defense, but also good at attack, and his deceitful tricks are also good, so I transferred her to the important stronghold of Wu Yanshan. In addition, there are old and calm generals like Hu Hui who assisted him from the side, Wu Yanshan There are natural dangers in the area, so Xiao Shizhu is even more at ease.
"Okay, OK."
Xiao Shizhu, who turned back to the other side of the round table, looked happy and said repeatedly: "The rear is empty, it's great."
This is an opportunity for him.
A once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!
Whenever he fought, Xiao Shizhu was always struggling for a lifetime.
From the conquest of Heilong Island, Samsung Island, to the south to plan a great cause, eastward into Xiaofeng Plain, Yunmengzhou, etc., as well as the conquest of Dongyizhou, several defense battles of Shuoyue Island, and then to the journey to Huangquan , In which battle there is such a good thing that the enemy takes the initiative to send big flaws to him?
Only Qingqiu Fox Kingdom finally let Xiao Shizhu experience what good luck on the battlefield feels like.
"There is another thing. In order to solve the empty troubles in the rear, the Qingqiu Fox Kingdom mobilized a large number of ghost slaves to the front line to support transportation." Lin Cong, who followed him, sat down again, and continued to repay the information to Xiao Shizhu and the ghost mother: "At the same time, I was anxious to ask the giants to hand over the protons as soon as possible and take them to Qingqiu Mountain for supervision. Therefore, there will be no turmoil in the rear."
The ghost mother, who had recovered from surprise, pondered for a moment and continued: "Isn't this the same as forcing the giants to rebel?"
"Isn't this just right?".
Xiao Shizhu smiled and asked back.
The ghost mother was stunned, and then she suddenly realized.
After all, once the giants rebel, the rear of the Qingqiu Fox Kingdom will be in turmoil and the pressure on the front line will double, and the Jiuyou Kingdom will surely win.
At this moment, Xiao Shizhu found the target to visit Dongyingzhou in person.
Originally, he was still struggling to go to the Dushuo Mountain area to command, or go to the East Coast to participate in the war?
Now that Xiao Shizhu heard about this news, he had already made up his mind.
The Giant's current residence is where he is going.
The technique of merging and reciprocity has always been out of date. Even in the underworld, this is true.
What Xiao Shizhu wants to join is the giant clan.
Moreover, when Qingqiu Fox Kingdom attacked the giant before, Jiuyou Kingdom just sent Shuyan to lead his army to defend the border for Qingqiu Fox Kingdom, and invested in firearms at the same time. Jiuyou Army never took the initiative to fight against the giants, and there was nothing between the two countries.
Deep hatred in the sea of blood.
This is also the retreat that King Yama left for Xiao Shizhu that day.
Now, it's just right to use it.
Even if King Yama did not explain in detail to Xiao Shizhu, the two ghosts now seemed to be in harmony. Xiao Shizhu immediately thought that the giant would be one of the keys to the victory or defeat of the Qingqiu Fox Kingdom in the future.
"In addition to the Qingqiu Fox Kingdom mobilizing a large number of ghost slaves, the Northern Yin Dynasty is also mobilizing ghost slaves."
Lin Cong, who sat down with Xiao Shizhu, picked up the teacup, took a sip of tea, moistened his throat, and continued to report the latest situation to Xiao Shizhu and Guimu: "The Northern Yin Dynasty has already been transferred from the north and the west of Liutianzhou.
More than 7 million ghost slaves were already on their way to the southern region.”
"Is this what I want to build a city?" The ghost mother asked casually, and another piece of information popped up in her mind a few days ago. Beiyin Chao built defenses on the southeast coast of Liutianzhou, and everything was presided over by the Shangqing boy.
.
However, the number of more than 7 million still surprised the ghost mother, so she couldn't help but feel surprised and all appeared between her eyebrows on her face.
These ghost slaves are huge in number, and if trained, they will be an army of seven million.
If there is no natural danger between the two countries, then for Jiuyou Kingdom, these seven million ghosts are undoubtedly a sharp sword hanging on their heads.
The ghost mother thought this way, not to worry about it.
Xiao Shizhu also thought of this soon; he immediately gave Lin Cong an order without hesitation, "Follow the boy in Shangqing; I will solve the problem of Dongyingzhou as soon as possible, and then you can also put more energy into it,
It is placed on the vassal states of the Northern Yin Dynasty and Kunlun Continent that deal with the Northern Yin Dynasty.
Xiao Shizhu was planning thousands of miles away, and in the Six Heavenly Continents that were in the vast sea of peace, a huge team of ghost slaves was passing by Fengdu City and heading to the Forget River.
After crossing the river, head south.
The vast team ended with more than ten miles apart. Walk along the official road in the mountains.
Along the way, the jingling sounds echoed in the mountain breeze.
The sound of these metal collisions comes from the ghost slaves in this team.
In addition to the ragged clothes that can barely cover the body, every ghost slave has only cold iron shackles on his hands and feet.
There was not even a pair of decent shoes, so that the soles of every ghost slave's feet had been rubbing for years and thick calluses grew.
The horror of the underworld is often not because of how cunning the torture instruments and punishments of the Eighteen Hells are, but is mostly reflected in these ghost slaves.
Most of these ghosts are human souls, locked in the eight extraordinary meridians by the talismans of gods and ghosts. They do the most arduous work every day and are called and drunk. However, they have no savings or enjoyment for life, and live a life of unclothed clothes.
On days when you can’t eat, you have to endure the whip and beating of the guardian, or even the vent of some desire.
And their children will become ghost slaves from birth and will never be forgiven. The same is true for children's children.
Although Xiao Shizhu was a ghost slave for a while when he first arrived at the underworld, his ghost slave did not suffer much. Xiao Shizhu, who escaped the assassination, was nothing more than ventilating the windows and doors with the Tengu people.
He stayed in the room for a while. He had never enjoyed the treatment that most other ghost slaves had enjoyed in person.
However, other ghost slaves are not as lucky as him.
For example, the ghost slaves walking in the mountains now are not as lucky as Xiao Shizhu.
Under the mountain wind, the friction and collision of iron shackles, curses and crisp whips sounded from time to time.
In addition to the ghost messengers who were originally responsible for guarding these ghost slaves, there is also an elite Xuan Di army from the Northern Yin Dynasty.
The soldiers thought the ghost slaves were walking too slowly, so they scolded and cursed the ghost slaves with the ghost servants, and whipped the ghost slaves at the same time.
And those ghost slaves, let alone resist, even if they were beaten to the point of being whipped, they could not see any displeasure or resentment on their faces.
I could only see them numb and obeying the orders of whips or water and fire sticks, as well as soldiers and ghost messengers, speeding up their pace and continuing to move southward without stopping.
One of the thin ghost slaves, although his body was covered with red whip marks, did not have the strength to walk too fast and his pace was still slow.
A ghost servant not far away saw him and looked angry again. He raised his whip impatiently at the ghost slave.
Just as the ghost officer was about to wave a whip in the wind, a young soul-ghost general with heroic eyes and eyes drove the beast to the ghost officer in time.
The young man with quick eyes and quick hands leaned over on his mount and reached out to hold the right wrist of Guichai raised, causing Guichai to hold the whip and couldn't continue to hit him.
The ghost officer was about to curse because the angry whip could not be hit, but the ghost officer who had a mouth couldn't scold him without saying a word.
He saw the young player who strangled his wrist, saw the shadows on the other person's face and under the shade of the tree, and immediately swallowed all the words he wanted to scold.
"Ghost slaves are also ghosts, don't go too far."
The young general then warned the ghost officer in a deep voice.
Although he is young, he has calluses on his hands.
It can be seen that this little devil is not the kind of embroidered pillows from the aristocratic family who have only gained experience in the army to increase their resumes to gilt.
The ghost messenger had not answered yet. A middle-aged soul general wearing silver armor, tall and burly, came to control the beast, stopped beside the young general, and gave him a look, asking him to let go, while smiling.
The young general said: "Son, don't confuse these ghost slaves with us. They are slaves, slaves for life. Why do you have to change this unchangeable fact for them?"
The mountain breeze blew by, and the surprised young man turned to look at the veteran and slowly let go of his hand.
The young general saw the veteran with two long scars pierced through his face and looked ferocious. When he saw the face of his old father, he was indifferent at this moment.
Even without any sympathy for every ghost slave who has walked by.
The young general was stunned; in his memory, the ghost beside him, his father, was harsh and scary scars on his face because of the war, but he had never had such a look when dealing with people.
It seemed that at this moment, in the mountain wind, under the shaking shadow of the trees, he saw another father, a ghost who suddenly felt strange.
For a moment, the young player didn't know what to say, so he had to move his lips, but said nothing.
The veteran glanced at the young general and realized what was the surprise in his son's heart? So he continued to stand by the road with his son, his beast-driven eyes, and his equally cold eyes, staring at the soldiers, ghost messengers and the vast ghost slaves walking in front of him.
"Son, these ghost slaves are born to work as laborers for the court."
As soon as the wind broke out, the veteran said to his son beside him: "To them, you don't need to do anything extra. Just make them obey absolutely and make them work willingly!"
In the voice, the sound of whips continued to come.
