It has been half a month since the army returned to Xiqi City. After half a month of repairs, the bodies of the Xiqi soldiers have almost recovered, and Lu Zhi led the army back to the camp outside the city.

The Yin Shang side, after experiencing several major defeats, finally calmed down for a while. For two months in a row, the Chaoge side never sent another large army to conquer.

However, it is obviously impossible for the Yin Shang to give up the conquest of Xiqi and just sit back and watch Xiqi develop and grow. The reason why Chaoge did not send another army to conquer Xiqi for two months is because it has experienced several major defeats. Even though the Yin family has a big business,

The Shang Dynasty inevitably suffered some injuries.

The second reason is that with the successive defeats of famous Yin and Shang generals such as Wen Zhong, Zhang Guifang and Deng Jiugong, it is indeed difficult to find another general with the talent to take command among the Yin Shang.

It is precisely because of this that Chaoge has been silent for two months without any action.

But Chaoge would never give up on conquering and suppressing Xiqi, so after holding several court meetings to discuss, the Yin and Shang ministers chose the taller among the short ones and selected them from among the young generals under their command.

One man took command and set out to conquer Xiqi.

Moreover, this time Chaoge City specially sent two important ministers, Fei Zhong and Youhun, to accompany the army on the expedition, to keep an eye on the war and report back to Emperor Xin and Chaoge.

It can be seen that Chaoge finally learned his lesson this time and began to pay attention to this war at all times.

After all, after several major defeats, Di Xin and others finally saw the situation clearly and understood that Xiqi's side was no longer something they could easily suppress. Today's Xiqi has become a climate. If they lose again this time

If so, the wealth of the Yin Shang Dynasty will be completely exhausted.

By then, I'm afraid it won't be Chaoge who sends troops to conquer Xiqi, but Xiqi's army will march north, attack the five passes in turn, and then invade Chaoge City!

On this day, Chaoge's army once again gathered 200,000 troops and marched into Xiqi territory. Then on the second day, they directly issued a letter of war to Lu Zhi, provoking him to leave the camp and fight!

This time, the new Chaoge coach seemed to be very aggressive and confident. Without even the most basic test, he directly set up a decisive battle with Lu Zhi. The letter of challenge he sent was also extremely stimulating.

, satirizing Lu Zhi because he was too prosperous in vain and had the guts to fight with him in front of the battle.

When Lu Zhi saw the letter, he just smiled and didn't want to pay attention to it at all. He didn't care whether that person was really arrogant and confident, or whether he was pretending to be so, but he actually had other intentions. As long as you enter Xiqi territory, everything will be done.

He has the final say!

Putting the letter of war on the table casually, Lu Zhi was about to give the order, ordering Yang Jian and Nezha to lead people to call the generals to frustrate the enemy's spirit. But the next moment, he suddenly raised his eyebrows, with a flash in his eyes.

A touch of color.

He raised his hand and flipped it over, and there was a piece of jade in his hand. On top of the green jade, there was a faint red light...

Lu Zhi's eyes narrowed for a moment, recalling what Lao Jun had told him back then.

'When you meet the person who makes this jade shine in the future, you must kill him on the spot in front of the battle!'

"come yet..."

The aura on Lu Zhi's body changed instantly, and an unspeakable chilling aura suddenly emerged.

"Someone is coming!"

"What are the Marshal's orders?"

"Drumming, gather the generals!"

After the three drums passed, the generals gathered in the commander's tent. Lu Zhi didn't say much, he just raised his eyes and glanced at the generals below, and said in a deep voice: "You will return to your ministries immediately, mobilize the soldiers and generals, and go out into battle with me!

"

When the generals heard this, they were a little surprised as to why Lu Zhi was so eager to attack this time, but no one asked. After all, the military orders were like mountains, and Lu Zhi's prestige had already been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. They all accepted the order and returned to the camp.

Gathered his subordinates to go.

Half an hour later, Xiqi's army came out of camp to fight, and met Chaoge's army in the plain twenty miles away, facing each other at a distance of a hundred meters apart.

"Marshal, at the end of the day, I will invite you to fight. You will definitely win the first battle for our army and boost your military power!" Yang Jian bowed down and asked for battle.

Lu Zhi, however, shook his head and did not respond. He just turned his attention to the enemy formation, searched around, and soon located a young general in the enemy formation.

I saw that the man was riding a strange mount with a dragon head and a fish body. He was dressed in big red fish scales covered with flowers, wearing a crimson velvet hairpin on his head, and carrying a Yanyue Daguan sword. He looked proud, but he was an extremely eye-catching figure.

figure.

And Lu Zhi has determined that he is the person he is looking for, that is, the reincarnation of the boy behind Fu Yuan Immortal in the Peach Club back then!

And he seemed to feel Lu Zhi's gaze, so he turned his head and looked at Lu Zhi.

His eyes narrowed slightly and he raised his chin slightly: "Are you the Xiqi coach, Lu Zhi? You look somewhat heroic and courageous. You actually dare to lead your troops into battle and fight against him.

I will fight against the heavenly soldiers."

"Who are you?" Lu Zhi asked calmly.

The man smiled calmly: "I, Commander Hong Jin, have come to Xiqi to pacify you and other rebellious people on the orders of King Chaoge!"

"Today, I have led my heavenly troops here. I advise you not to rebel against the destiny of Heaven. Those who know the truth should immediately dismount from their horses and kneel down to accept surrender. I can still report to the king to spare your life. Otherwise, you will surely die without a burial place!"

"

Lu Zhi looked at Hong Jin indifferently. He didn't know whether this person was really ignorant and arrogant, or whether he was deliberately making a gesture. He didn't care, but since this person had appeared, he would die today.

Time to make the list!

"Oh? What's your ability to say such nonsense?"

Lu Zhi's indifferent attitude seemed to sting Hong Jin, and he saw a look of anger on his face. He immediately urged his subordinates to rush out of the enemy's formation, raised his knife and pointed at Lu Zhi: "The ability of this commander, I must

Use it on the battlefield, Lu Zhi, do you dare to go out to fight with me?!"

"Marshal, let the general go out to fight and capture this ignorant boy for you!" Nezha, who had a hot temper, couldn't stand Hong Jin's arrogance anymore, so he wanted to ask Zhan to go out and capture this beast.

Lu Zhi raised his hand to stop Nezha and looked at Hong Jin seriously.

He could see that Hong Jin might really have a high opinion of himself, but his behavior was intentional, just to provoke Lu Zhi into fighting with him.

The corner of Lu Zhi's mouth couldn't help but bring up a smile. It was really a simple way to motivate a general, but since he took the initiative to send him to the door, how could Lu Zhi let go of the opportunity? What's more, he also wanted to see who this person was.

What to rely on.

"Marshal, be careful of fraud." Seeing that Lu Zhi wanted to fight in person, Yang Jian couldn't help but remind him, "General Guan Hong Jin is not from my human race, and his unwise and unruly behavior seems to be

It can be done, but the marshal must not be careless."

Lu Zhi chuckled and returned: "I know."

He was now sure in his heart that there must be some trap and trick that led Hong Jin to deliberately lead him into battle, but... so what?

Hong Jin's aura is mediocre, and he is not as good as a group of third-generation disciples of Yuxu Palace. Even if he may possess some strange skills or powerful magic weapons, so what? What does Lu Zhi have to fear?

Lu Zhi dismounted his horse, rode out of the battle, and arrived at the field.

Hong Jin was also staring at Lu Zhi, and the deliberately conceited look on his face finally subsided, revealing a bit of solemnity.

Although he is naturally arrogant and self-reliant, how could he be so ignorant? Everything he is doing now is just to lower Lu Zhi's wariness and lead him to fight.

It was not easy for King Zhou to send him to conquer Xiqi. He was also very clear about the difficulty of this matter... Moreover, his purpose was not to sacrifice his life for King Zhou, but to follow the orders of his master.

Come, go to Xiqi!

And the reason why he came to this battle in front of the formation was because his master ordered him to do his best to defeat the captive Lu Zhi, the Xiqi coach, in front of the formation!

This matter was originally the plan of their master and apprentice. If they could defeat Lu Zhi in front of the battle, the benefits would be huge.

Even if he fails, it doesn't matter. His master has already arranged a way out for him. If he fails, he will not be in danger. At that time, he only needs to change his identity and switch to Xiqi's sect. It can be said that he will be a disciple immediately.

In an invincible position.

He couldn't help but recall his master's previous instructions to him. He only needed to try his best to defeat Lu Zhi with a magic weapon sneak attack and capture him. Then he could find a suitable opportunity to fight with Xiqizhong.

Uncle Jiang Ziya and other fellow apprentices recognized each other and switched to Xiqi.

When the time comes, with his reputation for defeating Lu Zhi and the 200,000 Yin Shang troops under his command, he will definitely be able to seek a high position and maximize the benefits in Xiqi.

By then, I'm afraid even Lu Zhi's position as marshal will change hands to himself.

And even if his plan fails in the end and he is defeated by Lu Zhi, his master will come forward to clean up the mess for him, resolve the 'misunderstanding' and avoid conflicts between his colleagues. He can still enter Xiqi and be reused, but he may not be able to get the position of marshal.

arrive.
