On February 4th, nearly a month had passed since the army commanded by Gong Shangming completely defeated the Tianjue Empire army.
However, there were not many smiles in the Tianji Palace in Tianji City.
For nearly a month, all I could hear here was One bad news after another.
"The bow is so handsome," the eunuch declared loudly.
A group of civil and military officials looked sideways and saw Gong Shangming wearing a military uniform, a long sword on his waist, and gilt combat boots walking into the hall step by step on the blood-red carpet.
In the battle of Dongning City, Gong Shangming became famous all over the world.
He was already the number one general in the Tianji Empire.
After Zhang Sheng died in the battle and all the generals were helpless, this Confucian scholar stepped forward and turned the tide.
Not only did he win the United States At the same time, he also achieved his status as one person below ten thousand people in the Tianji Empire.
Even Emperor Bei Mingyuan paid great attention to this Confucian marshal.
"Commander Gong is here and offers a seat."
Bei Mingyuan said.
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Gong Shangming knelt on his knees and said, "But I can't sit down.
New news came from the distance.
This news makes Wei Chen feel very shameless."
"Oh what news" "Sikong Yao and the Baize mercenaries occupied Huoyuan City, and more than a dozen states and counties in the entire Huoyuan Province fell one by one.
The Baize mercenaries had a very big appetite.
Not only the Xishan Province, they even The province has also been swallowed up in one gulp.”
“This is unreasonable” Bei Mingyuan stood up with a slap on the case, his face full of anger: "What on earth is this little girl Sikong Yao thinking?
Is she trying to rob and divide half of my country?
Commander Gong, as the marshal of the empire, you are in Dongning City."
After defeating the Tianjue Empire's million-strong army in one battle, you must have a way to take back the two major provinces from Sikong Yao, right?"
Gong Shangming's face turned livid: "Your Majesty, I am not allowed to do this."
"Why" Gong Shangming raised his head and looked at Bei Mingyuan, saying: "First, our treasury has been depleted and we cannot afford more food and weapons to fight the war.
Secondly, our military strength has declined to an unprecedented level.
Dongning City war We are using the entire strength of our Tianji Empire to fight a decisive battle with the millions of troops of the Tianjue Empire.
After the first battle, Chen Yu was defeated, and we were not much better.
The Yanji Corps, Lanji Corps, and the newly established army were nearly Only half a million horses and horses remain Less than 200,000 soldiers were killed, and there were so many seriously injured that many wounded soldiers could not return to the battlefield.
On the other hand, Sikong Yao and Bai Ze mercenaries only had one chance to directly enter the battlefield, and that was on the border of Huoyuan Province.
The ambush did not result in much loss at all.
Instead, many troops from the Tianjue Empire were captured.
In addition to the troops they recruited, Baize's mercenaries now have at least 250,000 troops.
In terms of strength, we are no longer in Bai Ze.
Above the mercenaries."
"What?"
Bei Mingyuan felt a chill in his heart when he heard this, and said, "I should have known better that I shouldn't have invited Baize mercenaries for reinforcements in the first place.
This is simply inviting a wolf into the house.
I am just confused."
Gong Shangming smiled faintly: "Your Majesty, you are not confused.
If it were not for Sikong Yao's Baize mercenaries to plot in Bugui Forest, I am afraid that Chen Yu would not have been defeated.
If you did not invite Sikong Yao to come, the Tianji Empire would surely fall."
"Now, what should we do?"
Bei Mingyuan asked with a look of despair.
Gong Shangming said: "The Baize mercenaries are here to lure wolves into the house, which is a bad thing, but it is not impossible for us to turn bad things into good things."

"Oh, Commander Gong, please tell me."
"Your Majesty, after all, Sikong Yao has not completely broken up with us yet.
She is still the Princess Xiping of the Tianji Empire.
In my opinion, it would be better for your Majesty to give Si Kong Yao an oracle and order her to lead the Baize mercenaries.
Go south and attack the mountain provinces of the Blackstone Empire, so that we can take advantage of the opportunity and seize two major provinces at one go.
"good" Bei Mingyuan stood up and said: "According to the plan, what if Sikong Yao does not accept my order?"
"It's her business whether to accept it or not, and it's His Majesty's business to issue an edict or not."
Gong Shangming said calmly: "Your Majesty, I would like to use your golden order."
"Oh, what's the use of my golden order?"
"I want to go to Tianji Sect to meet the sect leader Sikong Ming.
I'm afraid the only one who can restrain Sikong Yao at this moment is his old man."
"Um" In the afternoon, the main altar of Tianji Sect.
Gong Shangming held the Imperial Golden Order and led dozens of guards into the main altar smoothly.
There were birds and butterflies flying along the way.
It seemed that spring in the Tianji Sect's main altar came earlier than in other places.
Deep inside, the pear blossoms are in full bloom.
There are few such beautiful and exquisite things in Tianji City.
Even the Royal Garden of Tianji Palace is not so elegant and unique.
And deep in the pear blossoms is a thatched cottage, the residence of Sikong Ming.
A disciple walked in front and said respectfully: "Sect Master, Marshal Gong Shangming wants to see you."
"Squeak" The wooden door slowly opened, and Sikong Ming, dressed in a white robe, stepped out energetically, but if you look closely, you can see that his feet did not touch the ground at all, and a line of frost rippled with every step, which was very magical.
"I wonder what the marshal wants to do with me, an old man?"
Sikong Ming said with a smile, but he was very easy-going and approachable.
Gong Shangming immediately saluted and said respectfully: "Old sect master, I am here this time because of Miss Sikong Yao's affairs.
Does the old sect master know what Miss Sikong Yao has done recently?"
Sikong Ming smiled slightly and said: "You mean I don't know about A-Yao.
A-Yao has grown up and I can't control her with my old bones.
I won't ask what A-Yao does, so I’m afraid the marshal’s visit was in vain this time.”
"Old Sect Master" Gong Shangming said in a sincere voice: "The Bai Ze mercenaries under Miss Sikong Yao have successively stolen the two major provinces of Xishan and Huoyuan.
Her move is tantamount to treason.
Is the old sect master really sitting back and ignoring it?"
"Is there such a thing as treason?"
Sikong Ming said with a kind face, "Didn't His Majesty grant her the title of Xishan Princess?
It seems that he must have given Ayao two fiefdoms.
This is the honor of our Sikong family.
There is smoke coming out of the ancestral graves.”
Gong Shangming frowned and said: "Old sect leader, how embarrassed are you to say such a thing to His Majesty?
Miss Sikong Yao captured Huoyuan Province without even saying hello.
Once His Majesty investigates this matter, it will probably be difficult to do anything about it. ah" Sikong Ming's face turned cold: "Who dares to touch my granddaughter's hair?
Just give it a try.
Don't think that I, Sikong Ming, won't be able to survive if I don't do it for decades.
Let me tell you, I am always getting stronger."
Gong Shangming was confused: "What the old sect leader means is that you don't care about Miss Ayao doing mischief outside, but once His Majesty wants to punish her, you will definitely intervene, right?"
"yes" Sikong Ming gently stroked his beard and said: "I have said it a long time ago.
Everything in the world has nothing to do with Sikong Ming and Tianji Sect.

Ayao is a sensible child.
I can understand everything she does, but who If you want to hurt A Yao, then don't blame me, Si Kongming, for fighting to the death with him. " Gong Shangming's face was blank.
He had never seen such an unreasonable person in his life.
Moreover, this person was actually the leader of the Tianji Sect and was known as the strongest person in the Tianji Continent.
Even the glorious angel Ziye might not Stronger than Sikong Ming, but never as unreasonable as him.
This is simply an old fox Gong Shangming thought this secretly in his heart, but he couldn't let it happen.
Once he offended Sikong Ming, the consequences would be disastrous.
Sikong Ming's strength was unfathomable.
It was possible to enter the palace and kill the king, and he could do it.
"Then I'll take my leave."
"I won't give it away, Marshal.
Remember not to hurt my A-Yao, otherwise, the Marshal will understand."
"yes"
Gong Shangming slowly exited the opera house, his face even more ugly.
He was appointed to be the marshal when he was in danger, but now it seems that this position is really not easy to sit in.
When Bei Minghuan was in power, he enjoyed good food and drink all day long, but when he was When I was in charge, I was always worried about taking the blame.
Every day seemed like a year.
"Commander Gong, what should we do now?"
Custer, the leader of the accompanying Longji Corps, asked uneasily.
"What else can we do?
Just take it one step at a time."
Custer frowned: "I'm afraid I can't wait for you to take one step at a time.
Recently, many people and important officials in the court have been talking behind your back.
Maybe one day someone will jointly impeach you, the marshal. ” "Oh what are they saying about me" "They said" Custer hesitated.
"Don't worry, just tell me, Commander."
"Yes."
Custer nodded and said, "They are talking a lot, saying that you are a cannibal marshal.
You ordered cannibalism when you were in Broken Cauldron Realm.
Now that you have been trapped in Dongning City for more than a month, your subordinates have eaten enough."
More than 200,000 corpses were recovered, including The civilians in Dongning Province, and even the three daughters of the prefect, were eaten.
They said, you, a cannibal marshal, are not even a human being, so how can you be worthy of being a marshal?
Commander Gong, don't be angry, these are also It’s just the jealous words of some villains.”
"I know" Gong Shangming stood in the cold wind, the marshal's cloak slowly flying, but the body under the cloak looked a little thin.
He sighed to himself and said: "It's so cold, go back early."
"yes" However, when Gong Shangming came to the edge of the horse, he slipped the stirrup several times, and even leaned on the horse's back, pressing his face tightly into the saddle.
The saddle was very cold, but his heart was not cold.
Gong Naomi didn't know whether what he did was right or wrong.
He didn't even know whether he should take the left foot or the right foot next.
"Shuai Gong, are you okay?"
Custer whispered.
"fine" Gong Shangming raised his head and said: "It seems that this road for old Sikong Ming is dead.
We must think of other ways to take back the two major provinces from Sikong Yao.
Otherwise, the south will be unjust and the world will be unjust."
The Ji Empire will soon fall into pieces."
Custer nodded: "Yes" He helped Gong Shangming mount his horse, held the reins, and said, "Does Commander Gong still want to continue fighting for those ungrateful villains?"

Gong Shangming straightened his iron helmet, his eyes blazing: "No, I continue to fight for my own eternal fame, not for them, not anymore."
Custer: "":
