"Chen Tong, the generals guarding Tongguan, and Yu Hualong, join us, Your Majesty!"
"Pingshen!"
Di Xin took a quick look and saw that there were two generals, an old man and a young man.
Yu Hualong was quite old, and had guarded Tongguan for many years. He had been begging for retirement, but he heard that the Grand Master cared about his old age and granted him special permission to take care of his old age.
I heard that the Grand Master transferred Chen Tong here again, and now Chen Tong is guarding Tongguan.
I saw that Chen Tong's face was sallow, and although his arms were thin, there was a breath of innate Qi inside. It was this breath of innate Qi that allowed him to use left-handed techniques with the ninth level of innateness.
[Chen Tong: Innate Nine Levels, Kung Fu: Left Daoist Technique (Hidden Weapons), Inherited by: The Four Saints of Kowloon Island, Magic Weapon: Fire Dragon Dart, Loyalty: 10%]
[Yu Hualong: Innate Nine Levels, Inherited by: Luyue Clan of Kowloon Island, Kung Fu Technique: Pandemic Technique, Character: Expecting Children to Be Successful, Loyalty: 60%]
[Hope your sons will succeed: increase the proportion of your sons’ success and make them better than their predecessors.]
Di Xin looked at the two guards in front of him, feeling happy and worried at the same time.
Fortunately, Yu Hualong, a veteran, not only has high loyalty, but is also a good father who hopes his son will succeed. The most important thing is that he is his mentor.
Although they were only disciples of Lu Yue, his five sons were outstanding and mastered the art of plague, which allowed the mediocre Yu Hualong to become the master god of plague.
And this guard Chen Tong is interesting. He is actually the disciple of the Four Saints of Kowloon Island. No wonder he uses this kind of hidden weapon, the Fire Dragon Dart.
Because of being robbed and killed, Di Xin walked into Tongguan with a gloomy face.
Relatively speaking, Tongguan is several times larger than Qinglongguan, and with the caravans coming and going, it is very prosperous.
Rather than saying it is a pass, it is better to say it is a city.
Tongguan was called Taolinsai in ancient times. This is the season when peach blossoms are in full bloom, so the whole pass is very beautiful.
No matter how beautiful the peach grove is, it can't hide the steepness of the pass. Tongguan is located at the junction of the three states and is the choke point connecting the three states. It is also regarded as the most important pass for military strategists.
Tongguan is also a natural ore field, with countless types of ores. The kings of the past dynasties integrated this place into the hinterland of the Yin and Shang Dynasties, and built a palace here for the sake of these natural resources.
…
Tongguan, in the palace of the king.
"Huang Feihu, Kong Xuan, Shen Gongbao, and Zhang Guifang are here, let them see you immediately!"
As soon as Di Xin sat down, he shouted hurriedly.
Hearing Huang Feihu's name, hatred flashed in Chen Tong's eyes, the Tongguan guard below.
Huang Feihu and others have not arrived yet, and Di Xin is surrounding the map not knowing what he is looking at. The King of Human Beings has not said a word. No matter Chen Tong, Yu Hualong, Su Quanzhong, Yu Hua, Hong Jin and others, they dare not say anything for fear of offending.
The king of men was angry.
During this depressing process, Su Daji walked in with a twist.
Su Daji's beauty was naturally very eye-catching, especially when Chen Tong was in his prime. He looked straight at her, and even Di Xin could see the greed in his eyes.
"snort!"
Di Xin snorted coldly, and Chen Tong lowered his head in fear, not daring to look at Su Daji anymore.
Not long after, Huang Feihu, Shen Gongbao, Kong Xuan and Zhang Guifang came one after another.
"I am waiting for your escort to arrive late. I hope your Majesty will forgive me!"
As soon as the three people came in, they half-knelt on the ground.
"Get up, it's no big deal."
After the three of them got up, Su Quanzhong, as the pioneer officer, told the whole story, including that the head of Ji Chang's fifth son, Cai Shudu, was now on the wooden plate.
"What does Xiqi want to do? Do you want to rebel? Are you really afraid that the king will issue a conquest order and the whole world will attack together!"
Huang Feihu became furious when he heard this, especially when he looked at the head on the wooden plate, he wanted to cut it into pieces.
"Conquest order?! If Xiqi is forced to rebel at this time, based on Xiqi's behavior over the years, the two hundred princes in the west may also follow suit."
Chen Tong was the guard general of Tongguan, so he naturally knew how powerful Xiqi was. In fact, not only him, but even Yu Hualong thought so, but he was too mature to say so.
"As the general guarding Tongguan, is General Chen afraid of Xiqi?"
"General Huang has lived in Chaoge for a long time. I'm afraid he hasn't even seen Xiqi's soldiers!"
Chen Tong and Huang Feihu obviously didn't want to deal with each other. Di Xin frowned and said, "Okay!"
Emperor Xin also had a headache. This Chen Tong was originally a subordinate of Huang Feihu. Because he violated the military order, he should have bowed his head to the public, and the generals begged for mercy, so he was ordered to commit the crime and perform meritorious service. Later, Wen Zhong valued him and became the guard general of Tongguan.
This was the end of their friendship. If they were in Chaoge, with the power of King Wu Cheng, Chen Tong would naturally stay far away.
But now in Tongguan, it is Chen Tong's territory. His main task is to monitor Xiqi. Even the King of Humans must consider his opinions.
"Zhang Guifang, what do you think?"
When her name was suddenly called, Zhang Guifang could only move out, looking reluctant.
As for the reason, it is simply that he does not want to offend both parties.
"This time we openly killed the king and committed the crime of annihilating the nine tribes. If we are not severely punished, there will be endless disasters. However, if the king launches a conquest order, the two hundred princes in the west may be frightened and go against the king's plan."
"Tell the important point!"
"Your Majesty, you already know what is right and what is wrong, why should you embarrass your ministers?"
Anyone can see that behind Chen Tong, there is also the twin brother Chen Wu, the guard of Chuanyun Pass. However, these two brothers cannot secure the two passes without the approval of the Grand Master.
Although Zhang Guifang is a general soldier, he does not want to offend these two people, so he said this.
Di Xin smiled and said, "What do you mean by being alone!"
"Since the king has taken Cai Shudu's head, he just wants to use it to exchange for food and grass for the expedition. As for the rest, he is not in a hurry."
Zhang Guifang's words made Di Xin's eyes light up. He didn't expect that Zhang Guifang was not only strong, but also very smart.
"Gu Ke has a reputation for cruelty. Are you so sure that Gu can swallow this breath?"
"Don't you, Your Majesty, still want the Emperor Ku's treasure?!"
Di Xin really smiled this time. This piece of Guifang made him overjoyed. This was a marshal's talent.
You must know that Di Xin has met many generals, and even veteran border generals like Deng Jiugong, but they all lack a unique perspective to see problems. Di Xin's understanding is the general trend.
The Zhang Guifang in front of me is a general with this kind of vision, so as long as he is trained properly, he will inevitably become a marshal again.
"Congratulations, king, for gaining another general!"
Shen Gongbao bowed his hands and he naturally noticed it.
Di Xin laughed loudly and said, "Come here! Send Cai Shudu's head to Xiqi, then don't say anything and come back immediately."
"yes!"
Di Xin sent someone to deliver the head. His face was rosy and he seemed to be in a good mood.
…
Xiqi
Mrs. Taijiang looked at Cai Shudu's head in front of her, her face was pale, she was unsteady, and she was dizzy.
The third son in charge of guarding the city, Guan Shuxian, changed his face drastically and sat on the main seat, trembling non-stop.
"Third brother, don't panic, there is still room for change in this matter."
After hearing the words of the Fourth Young Master Zhou Gongdan, Guan Shuxian felt a little more stable.
