"This..." Meng Tuo was so frightened that he was sweating profusely!

It turns out that the secret decree said that after the death of Han Ba, the imperial court was in the process of rectification. According to reliable information, the Shayou tribe in the northwest desert actually took the opportunity to cause chaos. Two hundred thousand cavalry were preparing to march south in a large scale, with a direct target.

The imperial capital Yong'an City! In view of the critical situation, I wanted to ask Guo Xuanwu to return to the court to help suppress the rebellion of the Shayou tribe.

"Isn't this going to kill me?"

Meng Tuo's face turned sallow and he said: "Who in the world doesn't know that the Shayou tribe has a close relationship with me. They raised an army to rebel, but I was actually kept in the dark! Now I can't explain it clearly even if I have a hundred mouths!

"

Li Luan couldn't believe him at all, and snorted angrily: "Hmph! Maybe you colluded with the Shayou Clan to rebel! Aren't the Iron Cavalry Alliance, the iron-clad ally of the Shayou Clan, just a group of jackals raised by you? If you don't make trouble, even this

The secret edicts are all fake, you want to trick us into being fooled, and remove the stumbling block to your unification of the country, right?!"

Meng Tuo's face turned pale with fright, and he swore poisonously to the sky: "Fuck his sister's Shayou tribe! This is clearly trying to trap me in disloyalty and injustice! If I collude with them, I will die badly!"

I am also a member of the Leiyue tribe. No matter what I do, I will never attract foreigners to take over the country. I am really the conscience of the world~~~"

At this time, Guo Xuanwu had already peeked into Meng Tuo's mind and confirmed that he indeed knew nothing about the matter. Then he smiled and said: "Godmother, please don't doubt Uncle Meng. He is indeed innocent."

!This secret edict was indeed written by Emperor Xiao Hai himself. I can trust it. The most urgent task now is to quickly discuss a countermeasure!"

Bai Kongling was so angry that he was blowing his beard and staring, and interrupted: "Ms. sir! The Shayou tribe has rebelled. It is the imperial court's business to fight against the rebellion. What does it have to do with us? The imperial court tells us to kill us whenever it says, and to use whatever it says.

It comes and goes as soon as you call it, what do you think we are? They are the onions and the garlic!"

Lan Yue'er also echoed with a look of dissatisfaction: "That's it! My lord, don't worry about that! They were fighting and killing each other, and they had nothing to do with us. They were all dead in the end.

Okay! Now we just need to keep an eye on the opening ceremony of Tiandao Mountain!"

Meng Tuo trembled all over, and said with force: "You can't say that, the emperor's move was out of helplessness! When Han Ba ​​died, all civil and military officials lost their backbone. Although Nie Yuan was the prime minister, it did not form a climate

, so the undercurrent of struggle for power within the imperial court has turned into a mess! At present, there are Shentu Leopard Corps in the north, Shentu Xiongfeng Corps in the south, and Leiyue City is occupied by Zheng Jian again. It can be said that there is a wolf in front and a tiger in the back. The imperial court is in internal troubles.

During a time of foreign invasion, how can we still have the ability to resist the wolves and tigers of the Sand Travelers?"

Guo Xuanwu raised his right hand and glanced around the crowd with a serious expression. The hall immediately became quiet.

He said sternly: "Everyone is responsible for the rise and fall of the country! No matter what, the Witch Shui Ling's side is our own family matter. We can leave it alone first. But the invasion of foreigners is different. As the saying goes, how can there be anything under the overthrow of the nest?

End of the egg? How can there be a home without a country? We won’t go to the Tiandao Mountain. Anyway, the snake spirit has set up the Divine Sword Gate there. If he escapes, the monk cannot escape from the temple. We will deal with him later!"

Guo Xuanwu's face was upright and his words were sonorous and powerful. This feeling of protecting his family and country and temporarily putting aside personal hatred for the sake of justice aroused the awe of everyone present!

Meng Tuo also said with a solemn expression: "I also have 50,000 troops and horses in my hands, and I am willing to listen to the command of the 'Mighty Marquis'. As long as you give the order, the 50,000 troops will fight to the death, and the horses will be wrapped in leather without any regrets!"

Guo Xuanwu stood up and clasped his fists and said, "Uncle Meng is admirable for his ability to put aside selfish interests to serve the country and the people!"

Meng Tuo shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Xiao Wu! Uncle Meng is not as great as you say! If the barbaric Shayou tribe really takes over the world, won't all the power and wealth of you, Uncle Meng, and me be wasted?"

What he said was true. Guo Xuanwu smiled faintly and said nothing.

Next, Meng Tuo and his daughter Meng Qisi stayed in the mountains for a few more days, studying together with everyone the strategy of fighting against the Shayou tribe.

Meng Tuo sent a pigeon message back with the news that he was preparing to resist the Shayou tribe, and all the soldiers and civilians in the entire northwest were mobilized to prevent the Shayou tribe from invading and prepare to defend their homeland.

The 30,000 Celestial Remnant Sect members who stayed on the "Dongkong Mountain" were also busy, working day and night to build various weapons.

What's a bit special is that Guo Xuanwu drew ten unique design drawings, which were specially crafted by ten teams. The material used was not gold or iron, but a kind of wood unique to Dongkong Mountain, called Dongkong Mountain.

The things made of fine steel wood are also very weird. They are all whole wooden boards, some are large and some are small, and some have undulating edges, but they don't look like they are used to fight enemies in battle. However, because

Guo Xuanwu specially confessed it, and no one dared to ask. It was probably a military secret.

The entire Tianzanmen family is busy day and night, all in order to be fully prepared to face the Shayou clan!

A family cannot live without a master, and a country cannot live without a king. Three days later, Meng Tuo and Meng Qisi said goodbye to everyone and returned to Anxia Prefecture.

Of course, when he left, he did not forget to go to the warehouse of Tiancanmen to transport five carts of pickles. Guo Xuanwu, Li Luan and others laughed at this.

However, just after Meng Tuo left, the crystal statue of Xiahou Ding, the "Changing Demon Lord" that had been hidden in the warehouse, also disappeared, but no one noticed because he was too busy...

"The best defense is to attack! Instead of passively defending, it is better to take the initiative and beat the turtle back into its shell before it can fully come out!"

This is Guo Xuanwu's strategic policy this time. Everyone agrees with this unprecedented and unheard-of policy, and they are all convinced by his brand-new strategic thinking.

Of course, the Shayou tribe would not be so stupid as to force an army of 200,000 to cross the desert and enter the inland. Therefore, if they wanted to invade the inland, the only way was through "Tianmen Pass", which was the only pass between the inland and the edge of the desert.

A total of more than 50,000 people from the Anxia Prefecture soldiers and horses of the "Northwestern Marquis" Meng Tuo and the elite disciples of the "Tiancan Sect" gathered in front of a mountain pass about 180 miles away from the "Tianmen Pass".

About twenty miles ahead is the desert. The land here is covered with yellow sand, and it is already considered a desert area.

On the official road from Dongkong Mountain to Tianmen Pass, there were about 3,000 horse-drawn carriages carrying heavy supplies of food and grass, rushing straight to the front line. The dust and yellow sand raised along the way covered the sky and the sun. The scene was unprecedentedly spectacular!

The army was commanded by Guo Xuanwu, accompanied by Lan Yue'er, Bai Kongling, Master Taihui, "Northwestern Marquis" Meng Tuo, "Yu Ling Zhenren" Qiu Zongjie and "Eight Feng Xiushi" Li Wenqin. The rest of the troops stayed behind with Li Luan

Dongkongshan Main Hall.

About two hundred miles northwest of "Tianmen Pass" is the vast desert, which is the territory of the Shayou tribe. Of course, Guo Xuanwu would not go there to fight with the Shayou tribe.

The army all knows that the commander is surrounded by eminent monks and Taoist priests who have profound magic skills and specialize in praying for the army and protecting their safety. Therefore, although they are about to face an army of two hundred thousand tigers and wolves, the army is filled with

There is an atmosphere of victory, everyone is confident and has high fighting spirit!

The reason why Guo Xuanwu chose to station his troops in front of the mountain pass was of course because of the terrain here. There are towering peaks on both sides, stretching as far as the eye can see for thousands of miles. There is a gap of more than 3,000 meters wide in the middle.

As long as this mountain pass is blocked, the Shayou tribe will not be able to take a step inland.

Therefore, Guo Xuanwu’s first order was to build the Great Wall!

The drawings were quickly distributed to the various officers in units of centurions. With the previous vigorous publicity, the nearby people spontaneously joined the team to build the Great Wall. In three days, more than ten people gathered

Thousands of people!

The materials used to build the Great Wall were very mixed. Basically, they were all local materials, including quicksand, loose stone, lime, wood, mountain rocks, etc. Everything that could be used to build the wall was used.

Only then did everyone understand what the purpose of the specially made fine steel wood ordered by Guo Xuanwu was.

After the foundation was laid, Guo Xuanwu ordered the fine steel wood to be spliced ​​and erected in sequence according to the order of the drawings. It looked like a hollow wooden Great Wall.
Chapter completed!
