Chapter 185 The remnants of the ghost party return to China
"Listen to the Guifang Cavalry!" I rode a war horse and arrived at the group of people. "Now Yu Hualong is dead, and his five sons have all been killed. Your resistance is meaningless. You have been fighting outside for many years. I believe you miss the old and young people in the family. As long as you put down your weapons, I will no longer pursue you and let you return to Guifang. But one thing, you need to promise me that you will never invade the Central Plains."
To be honest, no one can tell that the war has come to this level that the devil's side will be defeated is a foregone conclusion. I hope that the remaining thousand men will not be able to change at all, but instead I will die in vain.
Ghost soldiers look at me, I look at you. It’s not that my words dismantled their fighting will, but that my family aroused their longing. They are also human beings.
At this time, a man with a small collar rides out of the battle and says, "Are you keeping your word?"
"How could I be a great Shang emperor, how could I speak without trust with you soldiers? It's just that I am a great Shang, and I don't want to do anything to kill you. Besides, you have seen that under the siege of more than 100,000 people, do you still have a way out? At worst, I can sacrifice some soldiers, so why bother with you here?" I stared at the little leader in front of me and said.
After hearing my words, the little leader hesitated for a moment, and with a "bang", he threw away the long sword in his hand and slapped his fists: "I am also an iron-blooded man, and I should not have survived, but as the Emperor of Shang Dynasty said, the whole family is looking forward to our safe return. People are not plants and trees, so who can be ruthless! Now I swear to the sky that I will never step into the Central Plains in this life!"
I nodded, and the troops separated a path, but the little leader did not leave immediately. Instead, he turned around and said to the remaining iron cavalry: "My Guifang man is not a person who is afraid of life and death, but Yu Hualong and his son have been defeated today. Guifang still needs us to guard, and the wife, children, and young people in the family still need us to take care of us. We died like this, worthless! Now I am the highest leader here. Listen to me, the army put down their weapons and go back to Guifang with me!"
The management of the Guifang army was also very strict. With the order of this little leader, all the cavalry no longer wandered, but threw away the swords in their hands and sweared to the sky: "I am in this life and in this life, I will no longer step into the Central Plains!"
I nodded with satisfaction. The little leader was organizing the army and was about to leave. I said, "Wait!"
The little leader turned around and said, "Sir, Shang Dynasty, have you regretted it?"
"It is not something that Da Shang did. I just want to tell you, I hope you can also let the people of Guifang understand that the only things that war brings is mutual harm! It is not that we cannot fight, but that we really don't want to fight. Okay, go!" I said and waved.
The cavalry of the Guifang side followed the way the big merchants made way and activated the war horses. With a roar, the iron hooves sounded everywhere. In a short while, they disappeared under the sunset and the sky was almost dark.
At this time, the army of Sishui Pass was approaching the limit of physical fitness. I asked Wen Zhong to order the entire army to rest. Deng Zhong had already flew back to Jiameng Pass and asked Lei Kai and his son to send someone to send some food.
It was already two hours later when the army of Lei Kai and his son delivered the meal arrived. It was completely dark. The troops lit a bonfire and used supper with laughter around the fire. Their spirit and physical strength were recovering quickly, but time could not be delayed anymore. After dinner, the whole army returned.
"At this point, the Shang army of the Shang Dynasty has recovered the five passes, and the surrounding countries have all settled. The remaining time is the Youhun Pass and the Fourth Pass of the Middle Road. The battle to truly recover the lost territory and go directly to Chaoge is about to begin. On the fifth day of the fifth month of the 18th year of Sude." I wrote in my diary that night.
The battlefield was handed over to the soldiers of Jiameng Pass to clean. The army of Sishui Pass set off and returned to the pass. It was another month and a half after reaching Sishui Pass, and it was almost July. There was another important task this year, which was to take down the Youhun Pass in any case and form a siege against Huang Feihu, so that he could not pass this year.
Sishui Pass may be the last time I stay here, and the ultimate goal of this expedition was Chaoge. So I discussed with Wen Zhong and others that the generals deployed and re-arranged. This expedition was of great significance. It required a large number of war generals and troops, and a number of generals were promoted to guard the border.
A month later, Wen Zhong took out a list and sent it to me for a review:
The current Chaoge general:
Wen Zhong and his generals Xin Huan, Deng Zhong, Zhang Jie, Tao Rong, Ji Li and Yu Qing had a total of seven people;
Yin was defeated, Yin Chengxiu and his son, and they had nine people in total;
The former generals of the Marquis of Jizhou:
Su Hu and his generals Su Quanzhong, Zheng Lun and Chen Guang, totaling 13 people;
Sun Wukong alone, and a total of 14 people were passed;
Hu Sanji and Hu Ximei sisters, totaling 16 people;
Sishui Pass Guard:
Wei Ben and his generals Chen Geng and Zhou Xin, totaling 19 people;
Mengjin Guard:
Yin Jiao, Deng Chanyu and his wife; Yin Hong and his generals Pang Hong, Gou Zhang and Bi Huan, totaling six, totaling twenty-five;
Qinglong Pass Guard:
Huang Gun, Huang Feibao and his son, totaling twenty-seven people;
Sanshan Pass Guard:
Zhang Guifang and his general Feng Lin, a total of twenty-nine people were connected;
Jiameng Pass Guard:
Lei Kai, Lei Kun, Lei Peng, Lei Kai and Lei Kai, and his son, have a total of 32 people;
Chentang Pass Guard:
Li Jing, one person, and a total of thirty-three people were connected;
Jinjiling Guard:
Kong Xuan and his generals Sun He and Gao Jineng, and a total of 36 were from the same team;
Mianchi Guard:
Zhang Kui and Gao Lanying, generals Wang Zuo and Zheng Bao, total four, and total forty people.
Except for Chen Guang, the general of the Marquis of Jizhou, all of them fell back and went to the expedition with the army.
Another promotion is planned:
He Shen, the former governor of the grain in Sishui Pass, was the marshal of the garrison, and led his generals Jiao Wen and Niu Lin;
Chen Guang, the former subordinate of the Marquis of Jizhou, was the marshal of Mengjin, and led his generals Lu Peng and Guo Jun;
Deng Kun, the former governor of Qinglong Pass, was the marshal of Qinglong Pass, and led his general Gao Mu and Shi Chang;
Rui Ji, the former governor of Sanshan Pass, was the marshal of Sanshan Pass, and led his generals Zhao Ying and Guo Bing;
The former Jiamengguan governor of grain, ten thousand booths, Jiamengguan guards, led his generals Ma Tuan and Ma Long;
Chai Fei, the former governor of Chentang Pass, was the marshal of Chentang Pass, and led his generals Wang Li and Wang Xiao;
Wang Jian, the former governor of Jinjiling, was the marshal of Jinjiling, and led his generals Yang Rui and Shi Bin;
Fu Kai, the former grain supervisor of Mianchi, was the marshal of Mianchi, and led his generals Ren Peng and Li Xu.
In addition, the Elephant Formation is not very useful in the future battle to recover the Five Passes, but it is used to deter the Dongyi more forcefully. It is recommended to allocate the Three Shan Passes to manage and use it.
After reading the list, I frowned and stared at it for a long time. There seemed to be nothing wrong with it. So I told Wen Zhong to follow this.
All the passes and passes are new officials, and they need to get along and get familiar with each other for a while. At that time, it will be almost Mid-Autumn Festival. It is simply over the fifteenth day of August. Finally, everyone reunited and went on a collective battle.
In addition, this time, the three sect masters continued to stay at Sishui Pass. First, the three sect masters did not need to participate in every battle. Another meaning is that with three sect masters, the guards at these eight passes will also be restrained. After all, the strength of the three sect masters is not a joke.
Daji and Wu Geng will not stay this time, and will follow the army to fight directly to Chaoge. It is time to go opposite Huang Feihu Luo and Drum.
In addition, it is not a secret that the army went to Xiqi. I asked Wen Zhong to go to King Wu and Jiang Xinshang about the basic situation, which was two meanings:
First, the election work can only continue after the army goes to war, which means that if you want to participate in the election, it is best not to act rashly when I am in war.
Second, Jiang Xinshang is here, and see if there is any help when he sees it. After all, although most of the 39 generals in the Sishui Pass Army know magic power, compared with the boys in Xiqi, they have a poor family background!
The result of the connection was a bit unexpected to me. King Wu and Jiang Xinshang agreed to send troops to help, but after thinking about it, I immediately understood.
King Wu will participate in the general election in the future. At this time, I have already won the five levels of the middle lane. The four barbarians in the east, west, south and north surrendered again. It is only a matter of time to take Chaoge. If you pay some of them at this time, you can win the hearts of some people, and you will not be able to get the word of the people in the future, saying that he only eats but does not work; secondly, these disciples under the immortal throne need to overcome the tribulation. As I said before, Pantao and the others do not have it. The only way is to kill others in the war and let others block the tribulation for them. Of course, there is also the possibility of death on the battlefield to block the tribulation for others, but this is the only way out.
So it seems that one thing that works together is actually everyone has their own thoughts and gets their own things. It seems that Xiqi is becoming more and more mature, and it is necessary to get anything you should get.
Thinking of this, I didn't refuse, so I simply agreed. Since it was for assistance, I had to be a little more assistance. There were more soldiers and fewer soldiers, and more soldiers to enhance combat effectiveness. If there were fewer soldiers, it meant that I was not here to compete for territory. It was a great idea!
Therefore, during this Eastern Expedition, Xiqi sent all the talented people, led by Jiang Xinshang, Lei Zhenzi, Longfenghu, Wuji, Nezha, Jinzha, Muzha, Yang Ren, Yang Jian, Huang Tianhua, Wei Hu, Tu Xingsun, Hong Jin, and Princess Longji all assisted and led 200,000 troops.
None of the children of the Ji family went to war. On the one hand, they could protect the family system, and on the other hand, they would not be said to be here to seize military achievements. At that time, King Wu would not be able to coordinate the relationships that the royal family saw. People's hearts are always calculating.
