Rise of the Heavens

Chapter 671
After Shen Gongbao left, Gao Cheng asked Feng Leizi to use the escape method to go to Xiqi first, and search for news in the city closer to Xiqi.

Without Gao Cheng's interference, the world of Conferred Gods would still develop according to the original timeline. Shen Gongbao successively invited Zhao Gongming and Empress Sanxiao, these four were the true elites of Jiejiao.Especially Zhao Gongming and Yun Xiao, the two have already reached the peak of Jinxian, and they are only half a step away from stepping into the eighth level.

It's a pity that when the catastrophe arrived, the two golden immortals were also deceived from their true spirits, and were sent to the list of gods one after another.

"It's a pity that Wen Zhong's matter is related to the great calamity of the gods, and he is destined to be on the list of gods, and he led the army to the east, which directly led to the destruction of the Dongyi tribe with tens of millions of people, and tens of millions of people died because of him. The cause and effect are too great !"

Gao Cheng sighed slightly when he received Fengleizi's message at Chentangguan.Although Wen Zhong is Dongyi's great enemy, his upright, upright and loyal character makes him, a man who once conquered the country and was an emperor, appreciate him very much.

……

In the mountain road between Xiqi and Qinglong Pass, thousands of remnants of defeated generals were rushing forward with their heads bowed. Wen Zhong rode a black unicorn in the middle of the remnants, with a frowning face and gray hair, as if he had suddenly aged ten years.

"Hey! I led 50 troops to march west, but now there are only a few thousand remnants left. The disciples and friends are all dead and injured. What face is there to return to Chaoge?" Wen Zhong sighed in a low voice.

He has been assisting the merchants since he went down the mountain for more than a hundred years. He has fought in the south, the north, and the east. He has never lost, even if there are very few draws. It hangs its head to show the public.King Pingling of the East China Sea usurped rebellion, he dispatched troops for a month and then put it down...

His invincible record in the past made him the military god of the great merchants.Even Wen Zhong never thought that he would lose so miserably.He glanced left and right, and the morale of the thousands of remnants was low. The two disciples Ji Li and Yu Qing were all killed during the battle, and the two generals who were subdued in Huanghua Mountain also died in battle.

Among the 50 army, there are a large number of Chaoge noble children. Now the army is almost wiped out. Among the noble families in Chaoge City, I am afraid that every family will cry and wear mourning.Thinking of this, Wen Zhong's expression turned even worse.

"Grand Master, this doesn't seem to be the way back to Qinglongguan!" At this time, the mountain road ahead became narrower and narrower, a thousand-man leader who had followed Zhang Guifang in the conquest of Xiqi came carefully and reported in a low voice.

Wen Zhong's expression changed. After Fairy Sanxiao was personally dealt with by Yuanshi Tianzun, his army of 50 was completely defeated. When he was retreating, he was constantly intercepted and killed by Xiqi's army. Thousands of remnant soldiers fled in embarrassment, but they lost their way.

When he was about to send troops to investigate, he met a woodcutter on the road. After asking about the way, he was directed in this direction. Unexpectedly, the road became narrower and narrower.

"There is something wrong with the woodcutter who led the way!" Wen Zhong immediately thought of this.He waved his hand, ready to order his men to stop advancing.At this time, his expression moved slightly, he raised his head suddenly, and saw a Taoist standing on the mountain in front of him, this Taoist was wearing a Taoist uniform, he was Yun Zhongzi from Yuzhu Cave in Zhongnan Mountain...

One month later, Chaoge City.

In the majestic imperial palace, Di Xingao sat at the head, and the lower ones were arranged on the left and right.Standing in the middle, Wei Ziqi was reading the memorabilia of Han Rong, the commander-in-chief, which described in detail the process of Taishi Wenzhong's conquest of Xiqi and the result of his death in Juelongling.

When Di Xin heard the news of Wen Zhong's death in battle, there was a trace of genuine sadness on his face. Although Wen Zhong was trembling and uncomfortable when he was in Chaoge, he also understood Wen Zhong's importance to the Yin and Shang Dynasties.Now that Wen Zhong died in battle, Da Shang's prestige and power were instantly halved.

"hateful!"

When Wei Ziqi finished reading the memorial, Di Xin slapped the jade case bitterly, looked around at Wenwu, and said angrily: "Unfortunately, the grand master died in battle. Which general will lead the army to break Xiqi and send Ji Fa to the children?" Captured with Jiang Shangpi, to avenge the Grand Master?"

The civil and military officials on the left and right looked at each other, and the civil officials were nothing more than that. Nowadays, the capable generals and soldiers of the big merchants are all around the pass to suppress the rebellion of the princes. The military officials in the court do not have much experience in leading troops.

Besides, even Grand Master Wen Zhong personally led the Western Expedition and ended up dying in battle. They were self-aware and knew how much they weighed. If they rushed westward, they would definitely die without a place to die.

Seeing that no one made a sound, Di Xin's face darkened and became very ugly, and a savage light flashed in his eyes.

One of the Chinese doctors saw this and came forward to report: "Your Majesty, if you want to attack Xiqi, you must have a general to lead the army. Now Deng Jiugong, the commander-in-chief of Sanshan Pass, is the one who can lead the army. General Zhang Shan is also the leader of the army. Besides, In addition, Gao Cheng, the commander of Chentangguan, who once conquered Beihai with the grand master, can lead an army to the west!"

Wei Ziqi heard the words, and said quickly: "Deng Jiugong, the general soldier of Sanshanguan, is a famous general, and he can be the marshal of the army. It's just that Xiqi has a master who is proficient in Taoism. Deng Jiugong alone may not be able to win completely, and he needs a general to assist him. ! Your Majesty, please make a decision!"

Di Xin pondered slightly, and said: "Then according to Uncle Wang's opinion, let Deng Jiugong be the Grand Marshal of Zhengxi, and Gao Cheng be the Deputy Marshal to lead the Western Expedition. We must break Xiqi and take down the leaders of Ji Fa and Jiang Shang." class!"

When he said the last time, his face was slightly ferocious, and his eyes glowed with a fierce look.Seeing this, Wen and Wu on both sides of the hall couldn't help lowering their heads.

It was several days after Gao Cheng received the news from Chao Ge.

"Deputy Marshal Zhengxi...Di Xin is generous, since I, who has not long joined Dashang, are allowed to occupy a high position!" Gao Cheng looked at the imperial edict in his hand, and couldn't help shaking his head and smiling.

In the early stage of the Great War of the Conferred Gods, the big merchants kept sending troops to conquer Xiqi, just like the gourd baby saving the grandfather, they kept losing soldiers and generals, and the famous generals and elites of the dynasty kept losing. Generalissimo, it can be seen that there was no one available for Dashang at that time.

"Teacher, I heard that all the grand masters lost their troops in Xiqi. It can be seen that there are many masters in Xiqi. Why should we risk our lives for the Shang Dynasty? In my opinion, it is the best policy for us to return to Dongyi and continue to attack the cities of the eastern princes." Seeing this, Feng Leizi couldn't help but make a suggestion.

Gao Cheng waved his hand and said, "No need to say too much, I have my own plan!"

Then Gao Cheng's gaze fell on Yang Jiao, and he pondered for a moment in his heart. Now that Yang Jian is already working in Zhou Ying, it might be inconvenient if he brings Yang Jiao along.

"Yang Jiao, after I leave, go to Dongyi to find Tao Ming, and assist him in attacking the cities of the Eastern princes!"

Some time ago, Yang Jiao also knew Gao Cheng's identity in Dongyi from Feng Leizi. He was not surprised when he heard this order. He cupped his hands and said, "The disciple takes orders!"
