When Cao Du received the report from below, he was very surprised. This was a Shuangzhou fleet composed of nearly 2,000 airships. They actually surrendered as soon as they said they would surrender? How long had it passed?
He suspected that the letter and newspaper had made a mistake somewhere, but after repeated inquiries, he got the same reply.
It’s not just him, the same is true for those military academies. Although Shuangzhou looks doomed, it’s clearly not at the end of its rope yet. Even Mizhou’s fleet of 500 airships dares to get away from them.
In a head-on confrontation, this fleet was obviously more powerful. How could it surrender like this?
But as more accurate news came later, the seals and other items of General Duzhou and even a group of fleet commanders and guards were also sent.
This thing cannot be forged, and no one can doubt it anymore.
But everyone still felt a little dazed. The fleet was a headache for them one moment, and the next moment it melted and disintegrated.
What happened?
As the brief battle history was presented, the upper echelons of the sharp attack army were still in disbelief after watching it several times, and at the same time they were also full of emotion.
They asked themselves whether they could defeat this fleet if they personally led their troops forward, but they were absolutely unable to achieve such seemingly incredible results.
After the middle-aged counselor read the letter of battle, he looked up at Cao Du and said, "General, Duzhou doesn't know that their fleet has surrendered yet. This is a good opportunity for us to attack!"
Cao Du no longer hesitated at this time and immediately said: "According to the advance deployment, order the fleet to surround Duzhou on all sides, and don't let anyone escape!"
All the military academies stood up one after another and responded with a roar, and their morale was extremely high.
After all the military academies bowed and left, Cao Du called out to the middle-aged counselor and said, "I'm going to ask Lieutenant Mo to lead someone to take over these flying boats."
The middle-aged counselor thought about it and said, "This candidate is very suitable."
The exact number of people in this fleet has not yet been calculated, but with nearly 2,000 warships and more than 100,000 soldiers and servants, it is indispensable.
Although you have surrendered now, if you are incited by some unwilling people, good things may turn into bad things. Therefore, the person leading the team this time must have a certain amount of force to suppress the situation at the critical moment. Titled Armored School
Wei is obviously the most suitable candidate.
Although Lieutenant Ming seemed to be more capable than Noila Mo, he always seemed too casual and straightforward. He would not mess things up, but it would be impossible for him to do things well.
Cao Du said: "Brother Shen, I hope you will go there for me this time and help me bring some things back."
The middle-aged counselor thought about it and said, "General, are you after the secret box?"
Cao Du nodded and said: "Yes, Brother Shen, you know how important Shuangzhou's secret box skills are. If we possess this skill, then we will no longer be controlled by the enemy in the war.
In the previous northern war, if there was a secret box, then we would not have to simply use military fortress tactics to push forward, and would have a wider space for detours. This is a sharp weapon that can change the war situation."
The middle-aged counselor said solemnly: "This time I will bring back all the secret boxes, but only the secret boxes are useless. We also need master craftsmen who can build secret boxes."
Cao Du said: "This is exactly what I want to consider when I come down. Even if I don't need anything else, we Qingyang must find the master craftsman who masters this skill!
So after we come down and conquer Duzhou, we can ignore those Zhengguo and Fuguo, but we must get all the people and things in Duzhou Zhiyuan!"
The middle-aged counselor seemed to hear something and said: "General..."
Cao Du looked at him and said: "Brother Shen, I have a sense of proportion. Now it seems that the battle situation is clear. Therefore, after this battle is over, I will start to clean up the internal troubles in the army. So you can deal with that matter here." Let me explain to Henry Zhang."
The middle-aged counselor raised his hand, bowed his hands, and said solemnly: "I will bring it to you as a general."
At this moment, on the other side, thousands of Frost Island flying boats were moored on the wasteland. From a distance, they looked like gray-white larvae lying on the mud.
Zhang Yu called Qi Li to a remote mound and asked about some things. What he was most concerned about was the source of the sandstorm.
After he asked this question, Qi Li replied: "When Duzhou wanted to choose Duzhou general, no one dared to respond. Later, Jin Xiangguo and Youfu Guo chose me. I said that if I want to take this position, I can do it." , but there needs to be a sandstorm before there is any chance of victory.
At that time, Kim Sang-guk asked me to go back and wait, saying that as long as I did it in my own way, the weather would help me. Unexpectedly, a few days after I came out, a sandstorm came, but I didn't know the cause. Perhaps only the Prime Minister and Youfu Guo know something about it."
Zhang Yu thought for a moment. Although he did not find the answer here, he could confirm that the sandstorm was indeed man-made and not a natural change. It seemed that the answer could only be found after breaking through Duzhou.
Qi Li said: "There is something I need to tell Zhang Xuanzheng. Before I set off, someone tried to give me something, saying it would have a miraculous effect on monks. I don't know this person, and I suspect he may be someone sent by your side, so I didn't bring this thing with me, but left it in the city.
Zhang Yu asked: "Where exactly is it?"
Qi Li took out a piece of paper from his military robe and said: "I have already written it on it. Because I don't know the origin of this thing, the box in which it was stored is very strong, but the place where it was buried collapsed due to the explosion." , I guess the thing won’t be damaged.
Zhang Yu took it over, took a look at it, and then the paper turned into ashes in his hand, and let it float away with the lingering wind in the wasteland.
Qi Li watched as it flew further and further until it disappeared without ashes. After a while, he turned back and said, "What do Xuanzheng think Qingyang will do with us?"
Zhang Yudao: "Your lives can be saved. Qingyang has no habit of killing prisoners. Xuanfu will try to find a way to turn you back into a human being, but this may take a very long time. We can tolerate foreign races, and naturally we can tolerate you even more." .”
According to his opinion, the most likely approach for Qingyang Military Mansion is to set aside several areas in the wasteland for these Shuangzhou people to live dispersedly, without being allowed to have any force, and for a long period of time Military control will be implemented, but this is a very good result for the prisoners.
He said: "When we were in Mizhou, almost all the upper-level officials would rather commit suicide than be captured. It is said that you can be resurrected in a place called Rongchi?"
Qi Li said: "That's true. The melting pool is the real place of sustenance for us Shuangzhou people. As long as our souls don't die, we Shuangzhou people will eventually return there."
Zhang Yu looked at him and said, "Why didn't General Qi make this choice?"
Qi Li sighed: "Because only the upper layer of Shuangzhou is resurrected in the melting pool will it be allowed to have the original memory. For intelligent life, the original emotions and memories are the most important things. Without these, even if they are resurrected, They are no longer the same person. They are already dead in a sense. It is not our place to make decisions for them.
Besides, I have always had doubts about this matter. Resurrection? Is it really that simple? There are too many secrets in the upper level of Shuangzhou. I don’t want to come into contact with them, so I can only stay away from them as much as possible."
After the Xuanxiu cultivators and more than 100,000 captured Shuangzhou soldiers waited for three days, this time the fleet sent by Qingyang Military Mansion to take over the captives finally arrived.
This fleet consisted of a thousand armored sergeants and ten thousand soldiers. The leaders were Mo Ruohua and Counselor Shen. After they got off the flying boat, they immediately came to meet Zhang Yu.
After the two sides handed over matters, Counselor Shen stepped forward and bowed, saying: "Zhang Xunzheng, General Cao specially ordered me to come here this time. Can I have a private discussion with Xuanzheng?"
Zhang Yu thought for a moment, then waved his hand and told all the monks to retreat. Mo Ruohua also clasped his fists and left. After everyone left, he invited Counselor Shen to sit down in the shed and said: "Shen Counselor, you can say something if you have anything to say."
In a magnificent underground palace in Duzhou, the silver-haired girl was sitting on a high seat, feeling the rumbling sound of the mysterious weapons exploding. She could feel the seat under her body shaking, which seemed to indicate that she would not be able to survive in this place. How long will it take to sit in this position?
The situation has taken a turn for the worse in the past few days. There has been no news since the fleet that had high hopes left Duzhou, and it seemed to have disappeared.
There are also rumors circulating in the state. Some say that the fleet was annihilated, some say that the fleet fled away, and some simply say that Qi Li led everyone to surrender to Qingyang Military Mansion. In short, everyone is lost. The confidence to resist.
Footsteps sounded, and an old man in white robes walked in from outside. He looked at the seat with a serious expression and said: "You Fuguo, it's time to make up your mind. Qili's fleet has not shown up until now, so something must have happened." What's the problem? It's impossible to come back. If we don't leave now, we won't have a chance."
The silver-haired girl sighed: "If I lose my people, am I still the right auxiliary to the country?"
The old man in white robe said: "But Qingyang Military Government will let our people go, but they may not let us go. They are likely to clean up the upper levels of the two states. If Youfu State does not want to return to Rongchi, then We have to get out of here."
"Rongchi?" There was a hint of mockery in the silver-haired girl's golden eyes, and then she looked down and asked, "Can we still leave?"
The old man in white robe said: "Let's walk along the secret passage. No one can find us. Let's go to the Kingdom of Niai. Anyway, the alien gods there have been cleaned up by us. We can hide there, and we recently found it through some people. Find a way to the lower levels, where maybe we can find what we need."
The silver-haired girl stood up from her seat, her long silver hair hanging down to her heels. She said: "Since Mr. Cai has made it so clear, let's get ready. Let's set off now. I hope Zheng Guo and the others have somewhere to go. .”
Mr. Cai shook his head. Others may not know it, but he knows that the Zhengguo outside is just a stand-in. The real Zhengguo has not shown his face for a long time. Now I am afraid no one knows where he is.
The silver-haired girl walked down the steps, and the guards on both sides rushed up to protect her. Then, under the leadership of Mr. Cai, the group headed for the underground secret passage.
