Chapter 985: Lie Que Returns
It took several hours to deal with all the messes outside Yuanlian World.
Zong Shoucai returned to Yuanlian Realm together with Feng Taiji and others who came to the outer domain curiously to see what happened.
Only Ao Kun and Ao Yi didn't accompany them, and they still stayed outside the territory with Zong Shou's Demon-Dispelling God Shuttle.
At this time, the ship battle in the boundary river was completely over.
After several hours of fierce fighting, one of Shi Ruolan's Taiyi God Thunderships was sunk. There are three lightly damaged ships that need to be repaired.
But in the end, the captives made an emergency landing of six Frost Shadow Blade Ships.
The number of dedicated immortal battleships has increased to fifteen.
If you add the ten Taiyi God Thunderships that the Asura Clan will send in a few months later.
The extraterritorial fleet division of Daganxian Dynasty will have a scale of twenty-five ships, and its strength will take shape.
Although it is still weak, it cannot be ignored!
It is possible to suppress the surroundings of the Yuanlian world without any effort.
In Yuanlian Realm, the battle has entered the final stage. At this time on the border, people are chasing and fleeing everywhere. A large army is marching eastward. Attacking the city and pulling the ground is like breaking a bamboo.
The Immortal Court of the Nine Capitals of the Outer Territory was defeated, and the Xuanling Society and the Immortal Court of Jijue also suffered heavy losses.
It is estimated that it will be a little later when people in the world know this information.
However, it can be clearly felt that as time goes by, most of the countries in the east gradually lose their morale and panic.
Examples of surrender without a fight abound.
The most critical battle of Moyang City has already come to an end.
An underground Taoist soldier of Jiudu Xianting. Almost all were wiped out. The commander had no choice but to contain and resist the five hundred Yiling Demon Slayers with an army of one million.
However, the Xuanhu Cavalry led by Zhuang Yu himself forcibly defeated the Chinese army from the front, and the horses stepped on the joint battalion.
Then the 40,000 Tiangang swordsmen pressed up from behind, securing the victory in one fell swoop.
But after that, although the coalition forces of the eastern countries were clearly defeated, they still struggled to support it for a long time.
Until the news of the foreign domain. Send back to the cloud world. The army of millions collapsed completely.
In Zhuang Yu's words, the commander in chief of the enemy. Highly rated.
"This man is a unparalleled general, with the same strength and the same conditions. Fighting on the frontal battlefield. I am not his enemy."
Although it is a compliment to the other party, it also implies a bit of self-confidence.
He only talked about fighting on the frontal battlefield, and obviously Zhuang Yu only thought that this person was better than himself in this area.
Tactically it is not as good as the opponent, but it is stronger than the opponent in terms of military strategy.
With the same strength, if they are not their enemies under the same conditions, then just don't give the opponent a fair chance to fight.
Zong Shou secretly laughed, but Zhuang Yu said so. He also paid special attention to this general of Jiudu Xianting.
It can make Zhuang Yu think he is fighting head-on on the battlefield. Can't win.
Under such a disadvantage, he could still struggle for four or five hours.
This person's ability to command troops is naturally conceivable.
And unparalleled general talents, no matter where they are placed, are extremely scarce resources.
According to Zhuang Yu. After the situation was irretrievable, this general of Jiudu Xianting simply chose to surrender without any persuasion, and he was captured without a fight.
At the same time, there were also the three major forces of Jiudu Xianting who surrendered. There are a total of 140,000 Xuanhuang second-level Taoist soldiers.
Unlike heavenly and earthly Taoist soldiers, they generally have forbidden spells, making it difficult to complete the transformation. Minor skills are basically impossible to convert.
It is much easier for Taoist soldiers of the Xuan and Huang ranks to use them for their own use.
There are forbidden techniques, but it is not unsolvable. Minor skills can also be easily modified.
Even if the vast majority of people remain loyal to the forces they originally belonged to. It can also be resold to foreign slave merchants in exchange for resource money.
These people who have been selling slaves all year round have their own means of concocting them.
This is the default convention in this domain, and Zong Shou has no intention of being unconventional.
He has kindness in his heart, but he only treats his relatives and people, and will not give alms to his enemies.
To spare their lives without being harshly treated, it is considered as having done the best of benevolence.
140,000 soldiers!
Zong Shou was slightly pleasantly surprised, even though there were only two classes of Xuan and Huang ranks, and the Xuan rank only had 20,000 people, it was still a considerable fortune.
And what made him more concerned was Lie Que, the commander of the more than 100,000 Taoist soldiers.
This person was in his thirties, with a burly figure and a strong demeanor.
Even if he was detained and brought to Zong Shou, his expression remained calm without any change.
Zong Shou looked at this person up and down, and was also surprised.
In this domain, there are very few unparalleled generals. Famous generals who can command thousands of troops and raise their cultivation to the realm of gods are even rarer.
"Gu Fang just heard that when you were captured, you told Zhuang Yu that you were willing to work for Gu?"
"There is this sentence!"
Na Lie Que gave a salute: "I see that there are very few generals under the king's command. Lie Que is willing to recommend himself to serve the king as a dog and horse, and to fight in foreign lands."
Zong Shou laughed, Dagan Xianchao said a lot about generals.
The talents of commanders include Kong Yao and Zhuang Yu, who can be called military gods. Qiu Wei is also a veteran and wise general, he can be alone.
As for Zong Yuan and Ren Tianxing, they are also unparalleled heroes who can push forward.
If people like Hu Zhongyuan and Chai Zhou grow up, they will be extraordinary.
But most of them are used in the fundamental place of the cloud world.
In the Yuanlian Realm, the only ones that Dagan can do are Zhuang Yu and Guixuan, who surrendered a few years ago.
Because the matter involved the old master, Zong Shou didn't even dare to entrust the latter with important tasks this time. Even Zhuang Yu, who had gradually felt that he could not support himself not long ago, also did not recommend that this person regain military power.
This person is not a unparalleled general, but on the battlefield, his ability to make decisions before the battle is only inferior to Zhuang Yu.
After this battle, you can use it with confidence.
Ke Zongshou still has few qualified leading generals in his hands.
If this team is really willing to work for him, it will be a great surprise.
This person is definitely different from Zong Yuan and others, and he is just a potential stock. Didn't really grow up.
As a cultivator in the Divine Realm, he must have experienced many battles in the Outland for thousands of years.
Zong Yuan and Zhuang Yu's understanding of conquests in foreign domains is far from comparable to that of Zong Yuan and Zhuang Yu, and even surpassed Zong Shou.
Once he surrenders, he will be a general in the field immediately.
There was inexplicable joy in his heart, but Zong Shou's face was still reserved. Not half a point.
"It is said that Liu Muchen spent seven years recruiting General Lie. As an emperor, he put down his arrogance to invite him personally. He exhausted all kinds of means. But General Lie surrendered so readily today, I can't help feeling sorry The old master?"
"A good bird chooses a tree to live in. If Liu Muchen is a famous master, why spend seven years serving in the Jiudu Immortal Court? Lie Que has no choice but to do so. The so-called means, in addition to respect and virtuous corporals, there is also the use of power to force each other. hold."
Na Lie Que said with a blank face, and could see the displeasure in Zong Shou's eyes gradually, but he still didn't change it.
Those who betrayed the old master without any hesitation, and even slandered him with words. For which king. Neither will like it.
But he has always been like this, he just doesn't like Liu Muchen. There is no need to deliberately conceal it and say good things for the old master.
Some things can be found out just by checking,
"Lie Que today. I have also fought for Jiudu Xianting to the end. I have done my best and have a clear conscience. You can't just be buried with Jiudu Xianting for a little favor? But the king is working hard, the country is getting stronger, like the sun Ri is promoted. If Lie Que can be effective, he will surely win the king and finally, it is Qi Liangmu—”
At this moment, Zong Shou hesitated for a while, because he was very happy about this person's surrender earlier. At this time, after hearing Lie Que's words, he hesitated a little more.
This person treats the old master like this, so what about his Zongshouhui?
That Lie Que seemed to be aware of it, his eyes were slightly dimmed and he said: "Lie Que knows that if he does not surrender in this battle, he will either be imprisoned for life or sentenced to death. Both are not my wishes, and in the end I still have to surrender." Your Majesty. Since this is the case, why do you need to be hypocritical?"
He also said: "The guilty minister can't guarantee that he will always be loyal to the king. But he must be able to fulfill his duties and do his best to fulfill the entrustment of the king."
Zong Shou raised his eyebrows, then laughed. Are you conscientious? This is actually enough.
It is unrealistic to expect everyone to be loyal to him.
With the decision made in his heart, Zong Shou no longer hesitated.
"With General Lie joining me, I will work hard for the country. I will definitely be able to improve to a higher level. How about asking General Lie to be the commander of the right army temporarily?"
The big cadres are divided into front, back, left, right, and middle five armies, with the capital inspector as the main officer.
The post of governor is only inferior to that of inspector. After Zhuang Yu surrendered, he had held this position.
Lie Que is different from others, he has already proved himself on the battlefield, he is a famous general respected by everyone.
Therefore, no one else would object to his direct appointment as the capital inspector.
It's just that Zong Shou still wants to see what kind of person this person is, and whether he can really entrust him with important tasks.
Na Lie Que did not hesitate, and bowed to accept the order: "I am grateful, and I will definitely not disappoint the king."
At this time, Zong Shou still had countless affairs to deal with.
To take over the kingdoms of Yuanlian Realm, prepare a large army and continue to conquer the surrounding world.
It is even more necessary to allocate troops to capture part of the territory of Jiudu Xianting.
It can be said that there are thousands of thoughts, and I am so busy that I can't wait to split myself into several halves.
After meeting Lie Que, Zong Shou had no choice but to send away the freshly-baked commander of the right army before he even had time to have a deep talk.
However, before leaving, Lie Que reminded him: "I heard that your lord's naval commander also captured Yi Lingsu, the commander of the naval division of Jiudu Xianting? This person is extraordinary. If possible, your lord would best Persuade this person to surrender."
Zong Shou was taken aback, he had also seen the ability of the governor of the Jiudu Xianting Fleet Division.
Not as talented as Ruolan, but this person is not far behind. With his rich experience, he dealt with Shi Ruolan.
Even for a time, the dozens of empty ships in Daqian were helpless to fight back.
But the meaning of this lack is to ask him to spend some effort to persuade him to surrender?
Why?
