Jiang Ziya left for three days. After returning, he immediately found Lu Zhi and Ji Fa, informed them about the apotheosis of gods, and bluntly stated that he would build a apotheosis platform on Naqi Mountain.

Hearing this, Lu Zhi thought that as expected, once this altar for conferring gods is built and the list for conferring gods is put up, the great calamity of conferring gods will begin, and life and death will not be controlled by anyone.

Another half month passed, and Nezha, Huang Feihu and others began to return one by one to return their lives to Lu Zhi.

In a pursuit battle, Chaoge's 100,000-strong army was defeated, with nearly 10,000 casualties and more than 40,000 prisoners. In addition to the tens of thousands of people who fled and were lost in all directions, they were finally able to escape back to Qinglong Pass.

The Chaoge army only had less than 30,000 people left.

After Chaoge got the news, he was immediately furious. Wen Zhong immediately summoned his generals and personally led the expedition to Xiqi. However, in less than six days, he had already left the country again.

Two hundred thousand troops were mobilized from various places and marched straight towards Xiqi.

On the other side, Xiqi City, Shuai Zhang.

"Report! Report to the marshal. Outside the military camp, another heroic young man came. He called himself Yang Jian. He was the marshal's nephew. He came down from the mountain under the command of the master to serve under the marshal's account. I also asked the marshal to order whether to summon him.

In front of the account."

Lu Zhi raised his hand and placed a small red flag symbolizing the Chaoge army on the sand table, raised his head and said, "Invite him in."

"yes."

Not long after, a tall and handsome young man was brought into the handsome tent.

"Master's nephew Yang Jian, in the name of Master Yuding, is here to listen to Master Lu's account and help him defeat Zhou."

Lu Zhi looked at him carefully, and a flash of brilliance flashed through his eyes. He was indeed the famous Erlang Shen and Qingyuan Miao Dao Zhenjun in later generations. He was truly extraordinary.

Although he seemed to have no aura and looked normal, his eight/nine mysterious skills could not be concealed from Lu Zhi, who had also practiced this magical power.

According to Lu Zhi's induction, Yang Jian's Eighth/Ninth Mysterious Technique has been cultivated to at least the sixth level, which is almost different from his own.

However, it was only after Lu Zhi was reborn in Wudang Mountain that he had a profound knowledge, and with the help of the golden elixir given by Laojun, he was able to cultivate to such an extent in a short period of time.

It seems that Yang Jian is probably only a hundred years old, but he has already achieved such a level of cultivation. It can only be said that his natural talent is astonishing.

Apart from those innately divine beings who were born from heaven and earth in ancient times, this kind of talent is probably only comparable to that of Sun Wukong, the Monkey King.

Lu Zhi nodded and said: "Master Nephew Yang, please get up quickly. Now that Chaoge's army is approaching, it is the time to employ people. You have come at the right time."

Yang Jian paid homage and said, "Yang Jian is at your mercy!"

Lu Zhi said: "Very good, my commander is in need of a general who can attack and destroy the formation. Junior nephew Yang Jian, you are just the right person. From today on, you will stay in my commander's command and follow my orders."

"By the way, in the past few days, in addition to you, many other nephews who are teaching have also come to report to me. Now they are also in the military camp. You can go and find them, nephew.

It’s a good time for all the senior fellow apprentices to get together and make friends.”

In addition to Yang Jian, many third-generation disciples of Chanjiao have also arrived in Xiqi in the past few days. Jin Zha Muzha, Lei Zhenzi, Huang Tianhua, Wei Hu, and Yang Ren have almost all been ordered to come to Xiqi.

Qi, surrendered to Lu Zhi's tent and served him.

Li Jing, Lu Zhi's nephew and nephew, also came, which prevented Lu Zhi from being alone in Xiqi.

This time, however, it was different from the original work. These third-generation disciples of Chanjiao no longer rushed to the rescue one by one, but were directly sent over by their master early.

But when I thought about it, it didn't seem strange. This time, even Wen Zhongdu personally took command and went out early, bringing an army of 200,000 to intimidate him. Xiqi's current military strength was not at the same level at all.

Therefore, it is not surprising that the Twelve Golden Immortals sent their disciples to Lu Zhi early.

After all, this time Wen Zhong made it clear that he wanted to defeat Xiqi in one fell swoop. Not only did he personally lead the expedition, but also the four generals of the Mo family in Jiameng Pass, the Tongguan guard Chen Tong and the armies of the two passes were all wiped out.

Called here.

Xiqi's current military strength may not be able to withstand such a battle.

Yang Jian nodded when he heard this: "Thank you, uncle, for reminding me. I do have the intention of paying homage to all my junior fellow apprentices."

Lu Zhi said with a smile: "In that case, then you should go back and look for them. You can come back here at midnight tomorrow."

"yes."

Yang Jian followed the instructions and left the commander's tent, first went to visit another junior uncle Jiang Ziya, and then returned to the military camp to meet with his junior brothers.

Ten days later, Wen Zhong led Chaoge's 200,000-strong army and pressed into Xiqi. However, as soon as he and his army entered Xiqi, they were harassed by Xiqi generals and were unable to advance for a while.

Heaven, the army has not advanced a hundred miles.

This time, the army sent by Chaoge numbered 200,000, and its military strength was almost twice that of Xiqi's side. With such a huge disparity in strength, how could Lu Zhi possibly fight a decisive battle with him, so he fought guerrilla warfare and set up encirclement points for reinforcements.

Pretty good too.

After all, there are many people on Chaoge's side, so the formation will inevitably be very long, and coupled with the lack of familiarity with the terrain of Xiqi, if we don't take the opportunity to rely on local advantages and divide the battlefield as much as possible, we will really wait for the 200,000 troops to arrive at Xiqi City.

Even Lu Zhi may have no choice but to close the city and stick to one side.

And that kind of cowering away was obviously not accepted by Lu Zhi. It was too passive. You couldn't be forced to shrink into Xiqi City every time, make a turtle shape, and then wait for someone to rescue you, right?

In the original work, Jiang Ziya used this method, but Lu Zhi did not bother to adopt this method. Being beaten passively and then waiting for someone to rescue him was not his style. He preferred to directly defend the enemy from the outside and use strategic depth to kill off the enemies little by little.

Eat the enemy troops.

On the other side, the Chaoge army and military camp.

"Report! Taishi, the troops led by General Chen Tong were attacked earlier. When he led his troops to pursue, he accidentally fell into the enemy's trick, was led into a trap, and was killed by a young enemy general!"

"What?!" Wen Zhongben was checking the map of Xiqi in the military tent, thinking about how to successfully attack Xiqi. When he heard the bad news, he suddenly raised his head in shock and anger, "You

Said that General Chen Tong died in battle?!"

"Yes." The general who sent the message saw the shocked and angry expression on Wen Zhong's face, opened his mouth, hesitated for a second, and then said, "After General Chen Tong died in battle, he was beheaded by the enemy general.

, only the headless body was left and was sent back, Grand Master...do you want to go take a look?"

Wen Zhong's cheeks bulged slightly, and he was obviously gritting his teeth.

After half the payment, he asked in a deep voice: "No need, please go down and send General Chen Tong's body back to Tongguan for a decent burial... No, don't bury it yet. Wait until I, the Grand Master, have laid waste to Xiqi and buried Chen Tong."

After the head is recovered, the body will be restored and buried for peace!"

"yes."

After the man went down, Wen Zhongcai sat back on the couch. He lowered his head and glanced at the Xiqi map on the table, and couldn't help but reveal a look of helpless hatred in his eyes.

It has been almost a month. He has led an army of 200,000 to push into Xiqi. It has been almost a full month, but he has only advanced less than 300 miles. He is still at least 200 miles away from Xiqi City. Is it really true?

Does he need to spend another month before he can really come to Xiqi City?

"Report~~!" A long and urgent alarm came from outside the tent again. Wen Zhong's heart tightened inexplicably. What is this? There can't be any bad news coming, right?!

Facts have proved that sometimes, things do always develop in a worse direction.

"What's the matter in such a hurry?"

"Grand Master, it's not good! Our army's food route was intercepted by the Zhou soldiers! The food officer was killed, and 300,000 stones of food and grass were all burned to the ground!"

"Ugh!" Wen Zhong groaned suddenly, and for a moment, he felt a rush of hot blood rushing to his forehead, which made him dizzy. He felt like the world was spinning and he couldn't stand.

"What's going on?! Why was our army's food route discovered by Na Xiqi?! And what did those people in the rear do for food? They actually transported 300,000 stones of food and grass at once. Don't you know that food and grass transportation can only be divided into parts?

Are batches sent from different grain channels?!"
