Although He Gu has realized that something is wrong with his army.
But he never expected that his entire army would be wiped out.
Three thousand barbarian souls bathed in demonic energy, plus a total of 50,000 elite soldiers cooperating with the operation.
Even if the battle formation is penetrated and his army flees hastily, He Gu can accept it.
But now he is telling himself that his entire army has been wiped out.
"Impossible!" He Gu yelled out of control.
But the next moment, He Gu's eyes flashed with light.
He felt that this was indeed impossible.
Even if King Jing's side has survived the crisis of the Red Moon, the fresh troops that can be used are all on the bright side.
Unless King Jing could conjure up an army of tens of thousands out of thin air, how could he possibly have his entire army annihilated?
No, there is another possibility.
He Gu glanced at the other seven Barbarian Emperors with murderous intent in his eyes.
The second possibility is that the remaining seven barbarian emperors deliberately withdrew all their troops.
Let King Jing have spare power to mobilize people from other canonized cities to come over.
If this is really the second case, then don’t blame him for being upset.
But the words of his eighth son's confidant broke all He Gu's guesses.
"Barbarian Emperor, our entire army has indeed been wiped out. King Jing, on his side, brought out an army of 30,000 people from somewhere. The leader was a third-grade warrior.
At that time, the eighth prince judged that the opponent was the people in the Holy City and attacked with all his troops, so he decided to divide his troops into two groups.
Going all the way to directly attack the Feng Sheng City, the Eighth Prince led the remaining part to entangle Prince Jing's army.
…”
Following the explanation of this confidant, the eight Barbarian Emperors in the Manhuang Palace all knew what exactly happened at that time.
In this matter, He Gulida's misjudgment cannot be blamed.
The same situation happens even to barbarian emperors like them.
They will also make the same judgment.
Naturally, they have channels to know about the situation on Prince Jing's side.
They would never have thought of the sudden increase of 30,000 new troops.
After He Gu heard the description of his eighth son, his confidant, his fists were clenched purple.
The clearer he spoke, the more painful He Gu felt.
Even if an army of 50,000 people was killed or wounded, He Gu doesn't feel bad. Even if a son dies, He Gu doesn't feel bad either.
But those three thousand barbaric souls wasted countless efforts and sacrifices.
But it really made He Gu feel pain.
"Your master hasn't come out yet, why do you want to escape?" He Gu asked in a calm tone.
"The Eight Kings asked us to disperse and run away to report the news." He Gulida's confidant replied.
The Hegu Man Emperor continued to ask in a cold voice: "In addition to asking you to report the news, is there anything else my son has asked you to do?"
He Gulida's cronies shook their heads and said they had nothing else to explain.
Emperor Hegu nodded and said, "Since there is nothing else to do, you can go and accompany your master."
Before the confidant could react, his movements froze.
Then the next moment, his whole body exploded into a ball of blood mist.
The Hegu Barbarian Emperor suffered such a big fall, which is definitely a good thing for the other Barbarian Emperors.
Without those three thousand wild souls, everyone was brought back to the same starting line.
No, to be precise, they are already ahead of He Gu now.
You must know that He Gu lost not only 3,000 barbarian souls, but also 50,000 troops.
He Gu definitely suffered a big loss this time.
Although I am happy in my heart, no one will touch the bad luck of He Gu now.
What's more, what they need to do now is not to ridicule.
They now need to withdraw all the troops that were fighting against King Jing in front of them.
King Jing suddenly had 30,000 fresh troops in his hands, which could destroy He Gu's 50,000 troops.
They can destroy their 50,000-strong army.
After repeated attacks on the city, their men were already exhausted and scarred.
If King Jing's 30,000-strong army were to attack, they would be able to chop them down like they were chopping up melons and vegetables.
If someone stepped on this mine, they should retreat.
He Gu looked at the other seven barbarian emperors and gave the order to retreat.
The anger in my heart became even stronger.
This clearly means that he is a beacon of light.
What depresses He Gu the most is that he is the beacon.
It was completely passive.
He was the first to suggest retreat, and he was also the one who completely switched from offense to defense.
It turned out to be good now, but he was the one who suffered the most.
"Everyone, I think we must investigate today's matter." Hegu Manhuang took a deep breath and said.
The bald-haired Barbarian Emperor said perfunctorily: "This matter really needs to be investigated clearly."
He Gu looked at his bald hair and said:
"I want to investigate this matter clearly, not for my own face. But for the future of my barbarian tribe.
We all knew the situation in Jingzhou before the war.
Even if the Wu Dynasty sent troops to help, it would never be possible so quickly.
Moreover, there are still 30,000 troops, including more than 10,000 cavalry.
Eighty percent of the Wu Dynasty's cavalry returned to King Jing, so it was impossible to gather 10,000 cavalry at the last moment.
So how did King Jing create these 10,000 cavalry?"
What He Gu said is indeed a question worth thinking about.
However, for those with baldness, this issue is worth thinking about.
This time they have made money and they can retreat.
If He Gu wants to figure out the reason for this matter, they must support it.
Only verbal support.
It is difficult for them to provide other support.
It was not easy for them to get through the intelligence line in Jingzhou.
Any intelligence officer is extremely valuable.
He Gu is willing to let his intelligence line take risks, and they have no objection.
But let them take the risk together, they are not that stupid.
Just because humans call them barbarians doesn't mean they are not smart.
Seeing this scene, He Gu understood that he could only investigate this matter himself.
It is absolutely impossible to expect help from others.
Without saying another word, He Gu led his people and left the Manhuang Palace.
After He Gu left, Wu Luolan also left.
The other six Barbarian Emperors all left the Barbarian Emperor Palace one after another.
…
Feng Wudi led an army of 30,000 people and fought until there were no more barbarians in sight. He also began to form a team to clean up the battlefield.
Li Chong, by himself, built three palaces out of the skeletons of three thousand wild souls.
Gu Yan
Because the heads of the three thousand barbarian souls were severely damaged, the three capitals looked quite dilapidated.
Feng Wudi didn't urge Li Chong, and neither did anyone else.
After setting up the Jingguan, Li Chong knelt on the ground and murmured: "General, Wang Ba, Zuo Weiwei's three thousand robes. I have avenged you."
"General, I have not brought shame to our Zuoweiwei. Our Zuoweiwei killed 105 enemies today. Tomorrow I will go to the prince to ask for credit and ask him to allow us to rebuild the Zuoweiwei."
"Wang Ba, you bastard, you are obviously the youngest one, but you take advantage of me every day and let me call you brother."
…
Li Chongxu kept talking for half an hour.
After Li Chong stood up, he saw Feng Wudi standing behind him, cupped his fists and said, "Thank you, General, for your help."
Feng Wudi grinned and said, "I just need to clean up the battlefield. I'll have someone collect the trophies of your Zuo Weiwei for you."
"Thank you, General!" Li Chong said, clasping his fists again.
After Li Chong finished paying homage to Zuo Weiwei, Feng Wudi also ordered to withdraw his troops.
…
On the side of Kong Jijiu and Prince Jing, Feng Wudi and the others had already obtained concrete results as soon as they returned to the Holy City.
Prince Jing showed no expression when faced with such a result.
Just like when the regiment killed three thousand of his subordinates before, no matter it was a big defeat or a big victory.
Prince Jing always maintained his rationality and calmness.
Kong Jijiu was much more free and easy than King Jing: "My disciples must have contributed to 70% of this great victory."
"Ning Chen is the main contributor to this Hongyue victory. I will personally write a letter to ask for credit for Ning Chen." Prince Jing's words are confirmed. Ning Chen has achieved great success.
"With this merit, not only the title of marquis but also the title of uncle should not be too many, right?" Kong Jijiu continued to ask King Jing.
This time King Jing did not give an immediate answer. Instead, he looked at Kong Jijiu and asked, "Are you sure you want him to be granted the title of uncle?"
"My disciple has accomplished such great deeds, shouldn't he be granted the title of uncle?" Kong Jijiu asked in return.
Prince Jing said: "You know that's not what I'm asking. With Ning Chen's current achievements, being granted the title of Uncle is more than enough."
The conversation changed and Prince Jing said: "But are you sure you want to cook the oil in such a fierce fire?"
Since King Jing stopped pretending to be stupid, Kong Jijiu stopped pretending.
"Why are you reluctant to let my disciple share the luck of your royal family? Don't forget, your Wu family has Jiuding luck. That is also the credit of my disciple."
As long as you get the title of Lord, it doesn't matter whether you have a different surname or not.
That can all contribute to the royal family's luck.
Sharing the Wu family's luck is what Kong Jijiu really strives for for Ning Chen.
This time with the Red Moon Victory, the Wu Dynasty's luck will definitely increase a lot.
If Ning Chen becomes an uncle at this time, he will naturally share in the royal family's luck.
Ning Chen doesn't know the various magical functions of luck.
But Kong Jijiu knew it clearly.
So taking advantage of this opportunity, Kong Jijiu had to fight for Ning Chen.
Prince Jing did not follow Kong Jijiu's idea, but continued what he had just said: "Ning Chen's talent no longer needs to be judged, and as for luck, he himself is not lacking.
If you add luck to him now, it will indeed be of great benefit to his practice.
But this will also make him the target of public criticism."
Prince Jing did not follow his own ideas, and Kong Jijiu was no longer interested, so he could only answer Prince Jing's question seriously: "Do you think that even if Ning Chen doesn't become an uncle this time, he won't become the target of public criticism?
Ning Chen is already very dazzling now, plus this red moon victory.
There will only be more people paying attention to him, instead of suppressing his growth.
It is better to let him grow up quickly, and then he will naturally be able to use his own strength to overwhelm those who have good intentions."
King Jing understood the meaning of Kong’s offering of wine.
"Okay, I'll write a letter to confer him the title of uncle." King Jing chose to accept Kong Jijiu's suggestion.
"Thank you, Prince Jing." Kong Jijiu said while cupping his hands.
Prince Jing stopped Kong Jijiu, who was about to hand over the wine to him, and said, "This is what Ning Chen deserves."
At this moment, Ning Chen in Jingzhou City did not know that he would be knighted next.
Ning Chen is not worried at all about the situation on the front line.
Prince Jing Ningchen had studied it and sent 30,000 troops to Prince Jing himself.
If King Jing loses in this way, then all those who recorded King Jing's battles must be pulled out and executed.
After walking around in Jingzhou City for a short while, Ning Chen discovered the ordinary people in the city.
Like myself, I am not too worried about the battle ahead.
The street is still very busy, and all the blacksmith shops have lit their furnaces early.
For a city that faces war all year round, the craftsmen on the street still have this basic quality.
Not only the blacksmith shop was busy, but also the medicine shop, restaurant and even the Jiaofang Department.
There is a place like Jiaofangsi in Jingzhou City.
Although Prince Jing ran the army strictly, he was not unreasonable.
When it was time to relax, Prince Jing would not suppress his subordinates.
But these can only be done after the war, before the war and during the war, and King Jing will not allow it.
Looking at the girls from the Jiaofang Division, all of them were standing at the door in all their glory, leaning on the windows and posing.
Ning Chen thinks that in terms of quality alone, it has to be Fengjing.
Not only is it better in appearance, but the key is that it also has a stronger sense of service.
Ning Chen, such a handsome guy, walked on the street for a long time.
Surprisingly, no girl took the initiative to recruit Ning Chen.
No one paid any attention to him, and after wandering around for a while, Ning Chen also took Yun Xuanzi back to the palace.
Not long after Ning Chen returned to the palace, Kong Jijiu and Feng Wudi both came back.
"Teacher, General Feng." Ning Chen stepped forward to greet him and said.
After the ceremony, Ning Chen was speechless. Feng Wudi couldn't help but ask Ning Chen, "Why don't you ask how the battle is going ahead?"
Ning Chen chuckled and said: "If the battle situation ahead was not good, you would have taken me away long ago, and you would still be so slow."
Ignoring the deflated Feng Wudi, Kong Jijiu said to Ning Chen: "You come with me, I have something to say to you."
"is teacher."
After Ning Chen agreed, he went to Prince Jing's study with Kong Jijiu.
"No prying here."
After Kong Jijiu took measures to isolate him from prying eyes, he told Ning Chen about his plan to ennoble Ning Chen.
Ning Chen also didn't expect that he would be knighted.
This speed is a bit too fast.
You must know that a year ago, I was still an unknown little Hanlin.
He will be knighted soon.
And up comes the earl.
The titles of the Wu Dynasty are Gong, Hou, Bo, Zi, and Male. These are the five-level titles that can be awarded to people with different surnames.
The earl belongs to the middle position, but you must know that the Marquis of Dingguo is just a Marquis now.
He will soon become a count.
"Being knighted can be good or bad for you."
Next, Kong Jijiu explained to Ning Chen the advantages and disadvantages of becoming a knight.
After finishing speaking, Kong Jijiu said to Ning Chen: "I want to hear your thoughts. If you refuse..."
Before Kong Jijiu could finish speaking, Ning Chen rushed over and said, "Teacher did not reject this possibility. I will decide on this title. It is not my character to suppress myself cowardly."
Kong Jijiu nodded: "I also think you shouldn't bear it."
Ning Chen took over the conversation and asked, "Teacher, can I choose a name myself?"
