In this battle for Tongmu Town, both the Zhou and Wu armies suffered heavy losses.

Zhao Lie looked at Ma Bicheng, who was kneeling at his feet, and was furious in his heart: "I have told you many times that Maple Leaf City can only defend and not attack. If you disobey the general's orders, you will be defeated like this. The crime of losing troops and generals will not be forgiven!"

Ma Bicheng knew that he was destined to die. He kowtowed to Zhao Lie and cried: "I know that I deserve death for my humble position. This time I have killed countless soldiers by greedy for merit. I don't ask for mercy from the prince. I only ask for the king's respect for following him in my humble position."

For many years, I have given my wife and children a home in my humble job."

Zhao Lie was angry and resentful at this time. This man ignored his repeated instructions, which led to today's defeat. Ma Bicheng had followed him for many years and was loyal to him. He was one of his confidants. But he would not kill him today no matter what.

It’s hard to calm down the morale of the army!

"Don't worry, I hope that you have followed me for many years and have made a lot of contributions. You will give your descendants a future, so you can go on the road with peace of mind." Zhao Lie waved his hand, and several warriors helped Ma Bicheng and walked towards the execution ground.

.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

When Ma Bicheng walked out of the house, he turned around and knelt down to Zhao Lie again and kowtowed: "I owe you my humble duty to the prince. I hope the prince will take care of you!"

Not long after, the official responsible for supervising the beheading was holding a wooden tray with a protruding object covered with cloth, which was Ma Bicheng's head.

"Your Majesty, the execution is complete, please check it."

Zhao Lie did not turn around, but waved his hand to the supervisor and said: "Send a message to the three armies to reassure the troops and also to serve as a warning."

"yes!"

Zhao Lie also shed a few tears in the room, and grabbed the two iron gallbladders in his hands into pieces. He sighed: "If there were a few generals like Wu Feng in this king's army, I wouldn't be so embarrassed.

!”

Zhao Lie himself has outstanding military talents. With Dingning Pass, he blocked countless attacks by the Wu Clan army, stopping Mu Kuotai and the others from making any progress. However, none of his subordinates can stand alone.

, otherwise he would not have to bring troops in person this time.

Zhao Lie knew about Wu Feng's achievements in Qingzhou in Daizhou. This boy relied on the land of those two states to not only block the attack of the Wu Clan army, but also killed Karasuma and defeated Kong Wenku. Such a general,

This is the talent Zhao Lie really needs!

"It's a good thing that that kid was placed in Daizhou, otherwise the four eastern states would have been occupied by the Wu clan. In that case, Kyoto would be in danger!" Zhao Lie was glad that he had hit this kid by mistake.

After the collision, it unintentionally restored some of the decline of the war.

"Ah owe!"

Zhao Lie missed Wu Feng so much that Wu Feng sneezed several times.

"Who is thinking about me? It can't be my Qingxue, right?"

Hu Youcai joked from the side: "I think Kong Wenku is missing you. You have caused him such a big loss this time. He should be thinking about you all the time."

Wu Feng couldn't help but shudder when he thought of the long horn of Kong Wen Cave and the old bark-like face. "It's better to avoid it. I'm not interested in such an old man. Let him miss Zhao Lie."

"

"Then I'm afraid he wouldn't dare!"

Wu Feng and Hu Youcai were on their way to Longhu Mountain at this time. Before Ling Yuanzi left, he conveyed the Great Heavenly Master's decree and invited Wu Feng to go to Yunjin Peak together, where they would discuss important matters.

The two men and two horses traveled south in light clothes. Wu Feng looked like a scholar in a green shirt, but tied his hair with a gold ring on his head, and his accessories were like a noble man. Hu Youcai was dressed in black, brave and capable, and was carrying a big sword on the back.

A package is like a servant guard.

When the two of them walked together, Hu Youcai also addressed Wu Feng as "gongzi". After all, after leaving the boundaries of Daizhou and Qingzhou, Wu Feng's rights could not be extended to Youzhou and Hezhou.

Moreover, the Zhou army had an order: the stationed generals were not allowed to leave the area without permission. This time, the two of them were going to the Great Heavenly Master's appointment, so they had to dress up a little and go to the Zhengyi sect in plain clothes. They had no intention of disturbing the government and the garrison along the way.

It is March in spring, and the spring scenery is bright and the flowers are blooming. The seedlings on both sides of the road have been planted. Looking from a distance, it is a picture of a thousand-mile golden harvest, which is refreshing and refreshing.

"Youzhou is really a land of plenty! The area near Qiu Lake is thousands of miles away, and the people are rich. As the old saying goes: Qiu Lake is familiar with the world, and it seems to be true now." Wu Feng couldn't help but sigh with emotion when he saw the green seedlings stretching endlessly.

"Youzhou has always been known as the 'Granary' of the Great Zhou Dynasty. The grain produced in Youzhou alone is enough to support the food rations of the people in several states. Therefore, except during floods, the people in Youzhou have never been short of food."

Hu Youcai looked at the surrounding villages, and the houses looked like they were well-off, and he was quite moved.

Youzhou has an excellent geographical location. The Minshui River flows into Youzhou from top to bottom, providing sufficient irrigation for the large areas of fertile farmland in Youzhou. To the north is Daizhou as a barrier to protect it from the intrusion of the Wu tribe. To the east is the Longyou Mountain Range, which towers into the clouds.

Several rivers have developed. Rivers crisscross the state, and road transportation is extremely convenient.

Facing the sea to the east, the climate is pleasant and suitable for rice growth. You can harvest three crops of rice within a year!

To the south is Guazhou, the richest city in the country. Guazhou is the best pasture and fishing ground in Dazhou. Moreover, Guazhou has a pleasant climate and is like spring all year round. To the south is the Longcang River, the largest river in the empire. It has abundant water vapor.

The warm ocean breeze moistens the place, allowing Guazhou to have the richest pastures, as well as the best quality beef, mutton and milk.

To the west of Guazhou, a branch of the Longyou Mountain Range is the Taoist holy land Longhu Mountain. This mountain range contains the largest jade vein in the empire, so Guazhou is richest in the world.

After passing Youzhou, the two of them arrived at the boundary of Guazhou.

After entering Guazhou, the grain fields gradually decreased and pastures began to increase. The East Ocean Current provided abundant water vapor to the land of Guazhou, which also made the land of Guazhou feel like spring all year round, so it has the best pastures in the Great Zhou Dynasty.

The dairy products, beef and mutton produced in Guazhou are sold well all over the country, and their excellent quality makes people flock to them.

The rolling hillsides are covered with endless pastures, occasionally hidden by red tiles and white walls on the top of a hill. Not far outside the house, many workers are busy in huge livestock sheds.

In another huge building next to the livestock shed, hundreds of female workers were milking the cows and goats, and dozens of animal carts loaded with buckets of fresh milk were continuously transported to distant places.

The camel beast pulled a huge beast cart and walked slowly on the road. There were some tall trees planted on both sides of the road. The shade of the trees blocked the sky on the road, leaving a shadow on the ground.

The person driving the beast cart held a whip and waved it gently in the air. It didn't look like he was driving the camel beast, but like he was driving away flying insects. He looked leisurely and contented.

On the grassland under the sun, a large group of cattle and sheep were lying or standing, enjoying the warm spring sunshine leisurely. When they saw Wu Feng and two people passing by on horseback, they just glanced at them lazily, and then continued to enjoy the taste of spring.

Even the tabby cat and black dog on the roadside did not panic when they saw the two people and the two horses. They looked at the two people lazily and that was all. After looking at it, they continued to comb their hair and stretched out their front legs to examine a big

He slouched, yawned, and turned his eyes to the flying bees and butterflies.

As the two of them went south, the climate became warmer and warmer. Guazhou only has two seasons: spring and autumn. It is neither too hot nor too cold. It is indeed an excellent place for leisure and retirement. Therefore, many dignitaries in the DPRK love it.

Purchase a property in Guazhou for future retirement.
