Chapter 1019 Gong Qiu discusses the plan

The place of blending, Dongqing Plain, and Kuiwei Palace Hill.

As Zhao Zhenye rode his dragon-nosed warhorse, he saw densely packed sentries and camps on the plains and mountains. Just from what he saw, he roughly calculated that there were about 60,000 to 70,000 people.

Various domesticated creatures were flying overhead, some of them were so huge that they seemed to occupy the entire mountaintop when they landed, and those small birds made rhythmic whistles of varying lengths from time to time, which should be conveying messages to the ground.

He followed the cavalry team holding the banner of the general who was conquering the country, walked along the dusty road, passed numerous sentries, gullies, and checkpoints filled with bunkers and barrier nets, and arrived in front of the central army tent.

At this time, the small drum outside the door made two drum sounds, and the sound was heard in the inner tent.

The cavalry squad stopped here and everyone dismounted.

Gai Shuhe took off his helmet and said, "Brother Zhao? I didn't have time to ask you on the way, how are you feeling? Have you solved the problem?"

Zhao Zhenye said: "Thank you General Gai for introducing the Zen temple. It is very useful. Now I have no more troubles."

Gai Shuhe nodded and said nothing more.

After waiting for a while, the big tent was lifted, and then a general came out, bowed to the two people, clasped his fists, and said concisely: "The general invites you."

The two men passed the camp fence and lifted the curtain. They could see a row of warriors on duty standing on both sides of the road leading to the central army tent. They were all wearing heavy armor with a white feather on the top of their heads, and they were standing on the left and right, holding axes and spears.

Zhao Zhenye knew at a glance that these were elite troops picked from hundreds of miles away. If there were no fighters in charge, these people alone would be able to defeat an army of thousands of people in a short period of time, whether they were new or old.

When they reached the end, the tent curtain was lifted, and Zhao Zhenye and Gai Shuhe walked into the big tent together. The space here was large enough to accommodate a hundred people. Sitting in the middle was the commander of this army, General Su Kuo of the Imperial Family who Conquers the East.

The man was only about three meters tall when he was sitting. Although the tent was big enough, it still felt like he occupied one side by himself. He was wearing gilded black armor and his face was slightly pale. Sitting there, he looked like a statue in a temple that had come to life.

Zhao Zhenye looked at this man. To be able to sit in this position, his own strength was self-evident. Even he felt a sense of threat.

On Su Kuo's right hand side, there was a woman sitting there wearing a veil and old-style blue clothes, with a thin sword on her body. It could be seen that she was taller than the average man, but compared with Su Kuo, she looked particularly petite.

He noticed that there was a yellow bird embroidered on the man's cuffs and narrowed his eyes slightly. He had had many dealings with the old imperial family and could tell that this man was the embroiderer sent by the imperial family.

This is an internal guard who is directly responsible to the imperial household, and is no ordinary person. Although his aura is very deeply hidden, he has undoubtedly reached the level of a person of profound powers.

In this way, with the addition of Gai Shuhe, there are three "Xuan Ji military generals" from the old imperial family appearing here alone.

This situation is rare.

He knew that the number of fighters in the old imperial family was far less than that of the Dashun. Every frontline position of the confrontation was tense to the extreme, and all the upper-level forces had to be used carefully. If there was a problem anywhere, the imperial center would need to immediately send personnel to provide support in order to hold on.

This is also why after Wei Guochan's death, the old imperial family was unable to regain the intersection of Jibei Road. It was because almost all the power was tied up and could not move unless the imperial center intervened directly.

If problems occurred simultaneously in several places in the old imperial family's territories, it would be almost impossible to cope with them, and the entire territory might collapse in an instant.

Fortunately, Dashun is not a whole either. The central cities in various places cannot even communicate consistently, let alone unite and collaborate. They are just information islands.

But that was in the past. Once the skyline appeared, the threat it brought was too great. Any central city that could connect to the skyline could share technical resources and information, integrate forces, and the military could also achieve coordinated and unified command.

There is no need for too many such central cities. Even if Dashun only mobilizes one-third of its forces, it will be enough to defeat the old imperial family head-on. No wonder they are anxious now.

Su Kuo obviously knew him a long time ago. He raised his hand and said, "Mr. Zhao, thank you for taking the time to come here. Please take a seat."

Even though he was the General who Conquers the East, he did not have the domineering attitude of a warrior. Instead, he spoke in a friendly manner and showed respect to others.

Zhao Zhenye sat down to one side, looked at Su Kuo, and said, "Thank you General Su for inviting me. I heard General Gai said that he wanted to discuss something important with me this time. I'm already here, so can I speak frankly?"

Su Kuo said, "Mr. Zhao, this is not the first time we have worked together to plan something, so I will just speak frankly.

Last time, because General Wei underestimated the enemy and advanced rashly, he was killed and defeated, and the territory of Jibei Road was seized by Dashun. Your Majesty was worried when he learned about this. As a minister, you should relieve the worries of your master. "As he said this, he raised his hand and bowed to the distance.

He also said: "My imperial family has a secret treasure in Jibei Road. We originally planned to use it to open up a rift. When the army goes out, we can conquer the three mountains within a day and occupy that place to fight against those rebels again.

We have been secretly preparing for this for a year, but for more than half a year, the rebels have been pushing for the merger of the fields, and in the past few dozen days, it has extended to the three mountains and the vast areas outside. If the fields are connected, it will be enough to cover the location of my secret treasure. Once I open the secret treasure, it will be known to these rebels in an instant, and our plan will be difficult to implement. "

Gai Shuhe then said, "Brother Zhao, if we can't seize the land of Sanshan, then we can only change our strategy. If the rift is opened, these rebels will definitely attack. They don't know our background, so we can gather our strength and wait for an opportunity. If we can kill all the attacking Xuanji warriors here, then our previous strategy still has room to work." After hearing this, Zhao Zhenye didn't say anything, and there was no expression on his face, making it impossible to tell what he was thinking.

Gai Shuhe looked at him, and seeing that he was still silent, he took the initiative to say, "Brother Zhao, this time I would like to invite you to cooperate with us to wipe out the rebellion together."

Zhao Zhenye still didn't reply, as if he was worried about something.

Su Kuo said sincerely, "We have cooperated with Mr. Zhao several times before, and we know that he is a man who keeps his promises, so we sincerely invite you to help us and offer conditions that will satisfy you." He paused, and then said, "When I came here, your Majesty told me privately that if there are great achievements, you can grant a fiefdom, a salary of 10,000 households, and a military base, and that can be granted."

This is a very sincere condition. If one could obtain the above reward in the old imperial family, he would definitely be a powerful lord.

The reason why they were so respectful to Zhao Zhenye was not only because of Zhao Zhenye himself, but also because they knew very well that there were certain beings from the opposite world standing behind this person. If they could get help from this person, they would get a powerful reinforcement.

Zhao Zhenye raised his head, looked around, and said, "I want to ask, are all the people in the tent today all those we will use this time?"

Gai Shuhe said, "Isn't that enough?"

Zhao Zhenye shook his head and said, "If you ask me, it's not enough."

At this time, the woman who had been silent all the time spoke:

"We are very clear about the situation in the central city of Jibei Road. The most powerful Xuanji warrior is undoubtedly the traitor's Defense Director Chen Chuan. This man's strength should not be underestimated. I also heard that he had fought with Mr. Zhao before..."

Zhao Zhenye did not shy away from this and said, "Yes, I lost last time."

The woman continued, “We have considered that this person’s strength is unpredictable, so this time I can cooperate with Mr. Zhao to jointly besiege this person.

There is another mysterious warrior in the Central City, Yao Zhiyi, who stays in the fusion area all year round and may not be able to make it. Even if he does, General Gai can deal with him. There is also a pure faction member named Zhuan Liang. Your Majesty has specially arrested a royal demon this time, who is enough to match this person.

We have also considered the rescue of Haidong Road. By then, our foreign allies will try to contain them and prevent them from taking care of other things. If something unexpected happens, General Su will be in charge of the central army and can provide support to me at any time. Isn't this enough?"

Zhao Zhenye thought about it for a while and said, "Yuan'an Company is in Yangzhi, have you considered it?"

The woman said confidently, "The Yuan'an Company is only a branch in Yangzhi. We have spies at the headquarters. We can be sure that there is no force that can rival us in Jibei Road. Even if there is, it doesn't matter. We have spies everywhere. If we get the news, we can rush out and harass them everywhere, so that they can't unite and unite into a united force."

Gai Shuhe said: "Brother Zhao, don't worry, we have considered everything we can this time."

Seeing how confident he was, Zhao Zhenye thought to himself that these people might have already made preparations for not having him participate, so they must have some hidden power that they just didn't want to tell him.

In this case, you can give it a try.

And this also facilitates his plan.

Putting this aside, he actually wanted to fight Chen Chuan again. To be honest, he repeatedly reviewed the battle with Chen Chuan, but still couldn't figure out how he lost in the end. If there was a chance to fight this man, he didn't want to miss it.

He slowly raised his head and said, "Since you all sincerely invite me, Zhao can agree to join us."

After hearing what he said, everyone present smiled. Su Kuo was particularly delighted and said, "Mr. Zhao, it's settled then.

Although the situation of our dynasty seems to be very bad, you should know that at most we will be defeated, but we have not lost. If someone with strength and ambition like Mr. Zhao joins us, we may be able to restore the country and recover our old territory one day. "

Zhao Zhenye understood that due to the existence of the darkness of the fusion land, and the large territory and depth of the old imperial family, even if they were defeated all the way, as long as the imperial family was still there, they would not perish. If they could hold on until the big bombing, that would be another matter, so it was not an exaggeration to say this.

He said, "I wonder when the secret treasure will be opened?"

Su Kuo did not hide anything and directly said, "Mid-next month."

Zhao Zhenye thought about it, his eyes slightly narrowed under his bangs. It would be the middle of next month, which would mean less than twenty days.
