Are my leeks going to be cut clean by someone else?
Things developed beyond Zhang Dongyun's expectation.
Could it be that Du Kun didn't receive the news that his son and Gao Qi's army had been wiped out?
If Du Kun rushes to Longling to deal with Chang'an City, then the refugees he captures and quells the rebellion will have a chance.
But now that General Du is so calm, the refugees are in dire straits.
Zhang Dongyun also frowned secretly.
Although the Tang army under Du Kun could also be used to fill the population of Chang'an City, in comparison, those displaced people were more suitable.
After thinking for a moment, Zhang Dongyun squeezed those Mingguang Guards again and confiscated everything they had on them.
He found the old demon of blood shadow who was practicing hard in seclusion.
After the old devil received the iron arrows related to the "Phoenix Blood Book" as a reward from him, he devoted himself to understanding the mystery of the "Phoenix Blood Book".
At this time, he was suddenly summoned to Daming Palace by Zhang Dongyun, and the old demon Xueying quickly cheered up.
The opportunity he has dreamed of to make a great contribution might just come to him.
On the seat, Zhang Dongyun, who had the image of "Evil Emperor" Ming Tonghui, only said calmly:
"Next, if you cooperate with Dark Clouds, it's up to you how to do it."
After saying that, he closed his eyes and rested his mind.
The old man in black smiled slightly at the side: "This time, I have worked hard."
The old demon of blood shadow took a deep breath: "Your Majesty has an oracle, so I will definitely say nothing."
"Let's go out and talk slowly about trivial matters. There is no need to disturb His Majesty's listening." The old man in black said.
The old demon of blood shadow nodded silently, and the two of them saluted the "Evil Emperor" who was sitting there, and then left the Daming Palace.
"What's the matter? Tell me." the old devil asked angrily.
It is said that he acted in cooperation with the old man in black, in other words, he was taking the other person as his priority.
The old demon of blood shadow was naturally a little depressed about this.
But since it was the Evil Emperor's edict, he had no choice but to hold his nose and admit it.
On the other hand, the old devil is eager to achieve success at this moment.
He is eager to perform meritorious deeds and receive the complete "Phoenix Blood Book" as a reward from the Evil Emperor.
In this case, as long as the old man in black didn't deliberately trick him, he was willing to endure and obey the other party's orders.
"If Chang'an City wants to be more popular, we need to transfer more people to the city."
After the old man in black gave a brief explanation, he handed a token to the old demon of blood shadow.
"Now I need you to hand this thing over to the young man named Hui Tianyu from the Hanshan Sect, and then cooperate with him to help the group of refugees break out and bring them here."
The old demon of blood shadow did not accept the token immediately: "Why don't you take action yourself?"
"Of course I have other things to be busy with." The old man in black smiled.
"On the other hand, if you test that young man, he seems to be a malleable talent.
If I go there in person, it won't have this effect. After you go, just give him the token and give him a few words.
Next, just observe from the sidelines.”
The old demon of blood shadow frowned and thought.
The old man in black looked at him: "Don't you dare to go, or do you don't want to go?"
The old demon of blood shadow snorted and took the token.
"Since Your Majesty has given the order, I will naturally carry it out."
He looked at the old man in black: "But if your plan is wrong and delays His Majesty's affairs, I'm afraid you won't be able to bear the consequences."
The old man in black said calmly: "To each other."
He told the Blood Shadow Old Demon a few more words, and the other party left impatiently.
The old devil turned into blood and retracted into the Blood Ring.
The silver skull ring was flying and hovering in the air, landed in front of a Tang Army soldier, and was put on his finger.
The eyes of the soldiers who had been surrendered by the Tang army suddenly appeared with blood, and their expressions became sluggish.
This man wore the Blood Lord Ring and left Chang'an City.
In the Daming Palace, Zhang Dongyun watched the old demon of blood shadow leave.
If there is a more suitable candidate, he does not want the old demon of blood shadow to come into contact with those refugees.
The old demon of blood shadow practices the devil's way, and if he fights with others, he looks really cruel.
Ordinary people are easily frightened when they see it, thinking that Chang'an City is also a man-eating monster's den.
This is not conducive to attracting refugees to Chang'an.
But now the plan cannot keep up with the changes, so we have to adapt accordingly.
Sure enough, I still need to save some other talents to run errands for me... Zhang Dongyun thought to himself.
But for now, let's do this.
He waved his hand, and the "Phoenix Blood Book" flew out of the library and hovered in the air in front of him.
If the Old Demon of Blood Shadow can run his errands safely this time and come back, it would be a good idea to give him the "Phoenix Blood Book" award.
The old devil left Chang'an City and left Longling.
Passing through plain towns, you can feel that the surrounding areas are facing martial law.
A Tang army led by Gao Qi and Du Yifan entered the mountains and never returned, and the impact was obviously not small.
The old devil controlled his puppet to change his clothes and carefully crossed the surrounding blockade.
A few days later, he followed the contact information given by the old man in black and found the one-eyed young man from Hanshan Sect.
When I returned to Tianyu and saw the old demon of blood shadow, I felt a little unnatural.
Back in Chang'an City, it was the Old Demon of Blood Shadow who captured their brothers and soaked them in a river of blood and tortured them.
However, after hearing the old demon Xueying declare his intention, he was overjoyed when he returned to Tianyu.
"The last main force of the refugee uprising was surrounded by the Tang army in Weizhou Prefecture. It was only a step away from Qinzhou Longling, but it seemed to be separated by a natural chasm."
The one-eyed young man exhaled a breath: "Junior, I was still worrying about how to help the refugees break out of the encirclement and guide them to Chang'an. Fortunately, senior, you are here."
The old demon of blood shadow snorted reservedly: "This is all your Majesty's clever plan."
Hui Tianyu looked at the token given to him by the Blood Shadow Old Demon, and said in a deep voice: "Please help me, senior, so that this thing can fall into the hands of Xuanwu General Du Kun without leaving a trace."
On the territory of Weizhou Prefecture, rebellious refugees were moving around.
The Tang army divided into several groups and gradually formed an encirclement around them, blocking all their routes and trying to encircle and annihilate them in Weizhou Prefecture.
At present, the pocket array has not been completely tightened, and the refugees still have a range of movement, but they are already like flying insects entangled in a spider web, and it will only become more and more difficult to move.
Lack of food and clothing, they were in danger.
In the Tang Army's camp, a bronze-skinned general with a cold expression kept giving orders:
"Order the left wing to continue to advance and reach the north bank of the river before tonight to block the way of the rebels.
Order the rear to step up and be in place before tomorrow afternoon, when the general attack will begin.
When the drums sound, whoever makes an oversight will be subject to military law."
The herald next to him agreed and left the tent to deliver the order.
The deputy general on the other side said softly: "General, Young Master and Lao Gao, they have lost news for some days..."
The expression of the bronze-skinned Xuanwu General Du Kun remained unchanged:
"Rush in a hurry, fail to save anyone in your haste, and fall into the enemy's trap.
What's more, a general should put public affairs first before private affairs. The city will not escape in the mountains. Let's eliminate all the rebels in front of us first."
The lieutenant nodded silently.
Du Kun asked: "Is there any reply from His Royal Highness?"
"His Royal Highness is in an emergency over there and cannot mobilize more manpower to come to the rescue. He is only giving instructions about the affairs of Longbei County. General, you can do whatever is convenient for you," the lieutenant general replied.
Du Kun nodded: "Pay close attention to Bai Yunyuan's movements and blockade the place. After we wipe out the rebels, we will take advantage of the victory and pacify the place."
"Yes, I will obey the order."
The deputy general hesitated for a moment and then spoke: "General, the civil unrest in Longbei is ultimately caused by the harsh corruption of the local bureaucracy, which forces the people to rebel. If they have food to eat, the refugees will not take risks..."
Du Kun looked at the map and said calmly: "It is not our responsibility to care about the officialdom. We can only make contributions on the battlefield."
He turned to look at his lieutenant: "It is absolutely forbidden to kill a good person and take credit for it. Do you understand that?"
The deputy general was at a loss for words: "...General, I understand."
In addition to fighting externally, internally it is about suppressing chaos and suppressing bandits...
At this moment, a captain walked into the tent and said, "General, we have urgent news."
After that, he presented a package to Du Kun.
Du Kun was slightly surprised. When he opened the package, in addition to his subordinate's secret message, there was also a token.
Du Kun didn't bother to read the letter, but when he saw the token, his pupils suddenly shrank.
