Chapter 1118 Eight Wolf Generals
Commander of the Wuwei Army - Yue Taigong.
Commander of the Shanzi Army - Lu Yuehong.
Commander of the Fire Army - Yan Qi.
Commander of the Water Army, Jin Yan Changying.
Commander of the Thunder Army - Gu Jiantang.
Commander of the Feng Army - Zhao Deyan.
Commander of the Lin Army - Fu Cailin.
Commander of the Kongzi Army - Ye Baikui.
These are the eight strongest military personnel in the Wuwei Palace that threaten Kyushu, and they are also known as the Eight Wolf Generals.
But in the past decade or so, these Eight Wolf Generals have not remained the same. For example, Yue Piaoling got the name of Night Marshal because of the death of the previous commander of the Wind Army. At the same time, in the battle on the top of the Knife Mountain, the previous commander of the Fire Army, Cang Lie, also died in that battle.
During the fight against the Northern Barbarians, two military commanders died one after another.
However, due to the special environment in the north and the awakening of the destiny body, any vacancies in the eight wolf generals will be immediately filled.
At present, four of the eight wolf generals are destined bodies.
[Commander of the Kongzi Army, Ye Baikui, from “The Swordsman in the Snow”, was one of the Thirteen Armies of the Spring and Autumn Period, the Military Saint of the Great Chu, and also the leader of the Four Great Generals of the Spring and Autumn Period.
He was praised by the Shangyin Academy as the only one of his kind in 500 years. He had fought 72 battles without a single defeat and was said to have never been defeated in a hundred battles in his life. He and Sun Xiji were known as the "Twin Pillars of Western Chu" and were praised as the master of military strategy of an entire country. The 120,000 halberd soldiers under his command were invincible throughout the Spring and Autumn Period, and only Yan Wenluan's infantry could be on par with him.
In the Battle of Xileibi, his wife and daughter were dragged to death by Chen Zhibao's warhorse in front of the battlefield, and he later died in the Battle of Xileibi. His military tactics are as famous as Yu Youwei's mother's sword dance, Li Qin's chess skills, and Wang Qing's poetry, and are listed as the four wonders of the Great Chu Dynasty. 】
[Commander of the Lin Army, Fu Cailin, from "The Twin Dragons of the Tang Dynasty", his martial arts are the culmination of the Central Plains, the Western Regions and Goguryeo, and he is a master of his own, so he can be called one of the three great masters of the time together with "Martial Master" Bi Xuan who dominates the Western Regions and "Sanren" Ning Daoqi, the number one Taoist master in the Central Plains.
He often said, "All supernatural powers and transformations are possessed by oneself." That is to say, everyone has a hidden treasure trove with infinite potential, but it is obscured by various attachments.
He led the righteous army to fight against the invasion of Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty many times, and thus became a national hero of Goguryeo. In the hearts of the Goguryeo people, Fu Cailin was a god rather than a human, full of noble and mysterious colors.
[Commander of the Wind Army, Zhao Deyan, from "The Legend of the Two Heroes of the Tang Dynasty", the descendant of the Demon Sect's "Devil Sect", nicknamed "Devil Marshal", serves as the DTZ National Master as a Han Chinese, and is also ranked third among the "Eight Great Masters of the Demon Sect".
He and Liang Shidu, one of the warlords at the end of the Sui Dynasty, were both students of Changsun Sheng. His martial arts skills were so high that the master of martial arts outside the Great Wall, "Wu Zun" Bi Xuan, had to use "Yan Yang Qi Gong" to defeat him during a test of martial arts. He was resourceful and an expert in siege, and was deeply trusted by Jie Li.
In order to fight for the "Evil Emperor's Relics", Xu Ziling had a brief battle, and their skills were already similar at that time. After failing to fight for the "Evil Emperor's Relics", he returned to be the DTZ national master. 】
[Leizi Army Commander Gu Jiantang, from "Snow Sword", one of the four famous generals in the Spring and Autumn Period. One of the eight upper pillars and the general of Wuyang. After Xu Xiao handed over the Great Pillar, he was named the Great Pillar and the Minister of War. He is the most important general in Liyang and the best swordsman.
He has always had great ambitions in his heart and even dreamed of becoming an emperor. For this reason, he constantly longed to cooperate with others, and he placed his bets on Xi Chu Jiang Ni and others.
Gu Jiantang and Cao Changqing worked together to plan. If the plan succeeded, Jiang Ni would replace the Zhao emperor, and he, Gu Jiantang, would be the second "Xu Xiao".
Unfortunately, Cao Changqing disappointed him. Cao Changqing finally gave up his plan, chose to attack the city alone, and went to his death calmly, shattering Gu Jiantang's dream.
Gu Jiantang remained silent in the military tent all night, sleepless, and shouted: Cao Changqing, you have misled me for 20 years.
After that, he met the protagonist Xu Fengnian, and he had new ideas.
He asked Xu Fengnian: If you treat me to dumplings, I will help you become emperor. Do you want to do this deal?
Unfortunately, Xu Fengnian didn't want to be emperor, and Gu Jiantang's ambitions were shattered again.
Gu Jiantang was originally the number one general in Liyang after Xu Xiao, but what he didn't expect was that Chen Zhibao, the rising star, made rapid progress and began to approach himself in all aspects. He knew in his heart that there would be a decisive battle between Chen Zhibao and himself.
Gu Jiantang was unwilling to give in, and was defeated by the white-clothed soldier Chen Zhibao in the final battle for the throne. In the end, the throne fell into the hands of the Southern Xinjiang prince and his son.
On the battlefield, in the officialdom, and in the martial arts, Gu Jiantang has achieved nothing. He has never possessed anything, so he is also known as a passerby in the Spring and Autumn Period. 】
At this moment, seven wolves will step out of the space channel. Facing Yue Taigong who seems a little depressed, their performances are also different.
First came the Fire Army Commander Yan Qi, the Water Army Commander Jin Yanchangying, the Thunder Army Commander Gu Jiantang, and the Wind Army Commander Zhao Deyan. The four of them bowed to Yu Haitang in unison.
Then he looked at the stunned Yu Huanglian with a scrutinizing gaze, and then looked at Yue Taigong with some disappointment.
The commander of the Shanzi Army, Lu Yuehong, immediately walked out of the hall and sternly ordered the Wuwei Army soldiers to lay down their weapons. He was once a member of the Wuwei Army, so he had considerable prestige in the army.
After making sure that the chaos in the palace had been quelled, he returned to the hall with a somewhat grim look on his face.
As for the commander of the Lin Army, Fu Cailin, and the commander of the Kong Army, Ye Baikui, they spoke to Yue Taigong with some disappointment.
"Boss Yue, the reason why the king entrusted Wuwei City to you is because he trusts you, but how did you do it!"
“I just used my spiritual power to investigate the surrounding situation. The barrier that originally protected the city should have just been shattered. Let’s not talk about that for now.
Why did you forcefully gather the power of the entire northern land veins to block the city? That was clearly the king's last resort against Daxuan!"
"The Third Prince informed me before that I might encounter some unexpected crises when returning to the palace. I didn't believe it at first. But what can I say now that I am facing all this!"
"Boss Yue, just because she is the king's daughter, are you so crazy that you are willing to bet the entire palace to fight for her throne?!"
The last sentence made Yue Taigong, who had been silent the whole time, raise his head. He stared at Ye Baikui who had spoken, and said in a hoarse voice:
"Do you know her true identity?"
Ye Baikui did not answer, but just looked at Yu Haitang who was still sitting calmly on the chair.
Yue Taigong also discovered that even though Ye Baikui revealed the secret, none of the other wolf generals present, including Yu Gucheng, looked surprised. It was obvious that they all knew about it.
"How did you know?" Yue Taigong looked at Yu Haitang again.
"Does this matter?" Yu Haitang put the teacup in her hand on the table beside her.
She first nodded to Yu Gucheng, and after he understood her meaning, she disappeared into the hall in a flash. In just a few breaths, Yu Yuanba, who had been killing people indiscriminately outside, and Ying Wuque, who had been sleeping somewhere and was still a little dazed, were picked up by her one by one.
At this moment, all the powerful and senior officials of Wuwei Palace gathered in this hall.
Four adopted sons, one biological son, and eight military commanders.
"I have used the Five Adopted Sons Token to notify Wen Lingxiu to restore order in the city, but as for the Four Alliances and Three Gates." Seeing that no one else spoke in the hall, Yu Gucheng took the initiative to speak to Yu Haitang.
"Leave it to me." Ying Wuque, who seemed to be quietly slacking off in the entire battle, volunteered.
Seeing Yu Haitang nod slightly, he breathed a sigh of relief and immediately walked out of the palace.
The atmosphere in the hall became more solemn.
At this time, Yu Huanglian, who seemed to be mentally ill, finally recovered. She also realized belatedly the purpose of Yue Taigong's question.
Then she started yelling like a shrew.
"She knows my identity! She knows that I am the only heir to the palace! Obviously, everything that is happening now is also her calculation! It's her."
"Did I force you to kill my eldest brother? Did I force you to poison my fourth brother? Or did I threaten you to forcefully open this barrier that was meant to protect the people of Wuwei City so that you could ambush and kill me? Or did I force you to use this earth vein power to deal with me, forcing you to sacrifice the future of the entire North?"
Yu Haitang glanced at the other person indifferently.
Then her gaze fell on the commander of the Lei Army, Gu Jiantang.
Among the eight major military forces now, only the Thunder Army is truly under his control, and the relationship between Gu Jiantang and Yue Taigong is average. Even Old Gu has always wanted to seek the position of the leader of the Eight Wolf Generals, and is dissatisfied with this Northern Military God in various ways.
That was why, in the previous Rat Tide War, Yu Haitang communicated with Bai Zishu in advance and asked the Lei Army to come to her aid, simply because she knew that compared to other armies, the other side could truly be completely bound to her in terms of position.
As for the Fire Army and the Water Army, these two major armies sided with him for the sake of Yu Gucheng. Although they are still usable, the distance between them is always separated by one person.
As for Zhao Deyan, the commander of the Feng Army who had also taken the lead in saluting him before, it was a pleasant surprise to have this man under his control.
Because the other party was one of Yu Canglan's secret agents, and also the only powerful military general who was pushed into the Wuwei Palace by Beiman after a lot of effort.
The reason why Yu Haitang was able to obtain complete intelligence of this news was that she contacted the two barbarian kings who joined the main god space through the ghost market. Only then did she confirm that there was such a big spy hidden inside the palace.
However, the other party's position seems a bit subtle.
Although the relationship with the Northern Barbarians was not completely severed, they took the initiative to tell them that they had not passed on any information that was unfavorable to the Wuwei Palace since three years ago.
This made Yu Haitang think of her adoptive father.
With the other party's magnanimity and broad-mindedness, he does have enough ability to recruit them for his own use, including adopted sons like them. If they had not known that the other party was dead, they would probably still be working silently for the palace for a long time.
Immediately after receiving Yu Haitang's signal, Gu Jiantang also formally attacked Yue Taigong.
His prestige as the first military god in the North no longer had any halo effect the moment he decided to sacrifice the future of the North and activate the power of the earth veins to murder his own people.
If he can complete this game perfectly, that is, the other adopted sons are confirmed dead in this battle, then after the matter is done, even if his cruel methods are brought up again, the other wolf generals will bite the bullet and acknowledge the ascension of Yu Huanglian, the new king.
But he lost.
Then he will have to endure a more severe backlash.
In particular, the fact that he arbitrarily used Wuwei City as the battlefield to ambush and kill Yu Haitang was a reckless betrayal of the trust that Yu Haitang had placed in him. This was also the thing that the other wolf generals could not tolerate the most.
Just like the Five Sons' Tokens combined together can drive the Wuwei Army's deputy general Wen Lingxiu, this limits Yue Taigong's complete control over the Wuwei Army to a certain extent.
Similarly, Yu Wushi handed over the overall management of Wuwei City to Yue Taigong, which also limited the power struggles among his adopted sons to a certain extent.
But now, Yue Taigong, relying on the privileges given to him by Yu Wushi, has personally taken part in the matter. This is not only a betrayal of Yu Wushi's trust, but also a complete violation of the bottom line that cannot be crossed.
After all, no matter how high Yue Taigong's prestige is, it cannot compare to what Yu Wushi represents to the entire Wuwei Palace.
At this moment, Yue Taigong confessed to all the crimes listed by Gu Jiantang.
Because when the other wolves showed up, they had already lost the game, and lost completely, with no hope of making a comeback.
He has the awareness of being a loser.
But he looked with some pity at Yu Huanglian, who was ignored by everyone after she went crazy.
After hesitating for a moment, he took the initiative to speak:
"All this is because I want to push her to the throne. She was just a puppet in my hands the whole time. So I accept the punishment and death. I just hope you can give her a chance to live. After all, she is the last bloodline of the king."
This was obviously meant to lie to the children, but it also caused several wolf generals present to fall silent.
Even Gu Jiantang, who was the most radical when the crimes were being listed, did not respond.
Yu Huanglian also agreed. She was no longer crazy, but her face hidden by her hair became more hideous.
At this time, Yue Taigong looked at Yu Haitang, walked up to her, knelt on his knees and said:
"She is no longer a threat to you. As the new master of Wuwei Palace, can you forgive her?"
"Of course, General Yue, why should you perform such a great ceremony?" Yu Haitang narrowed her eyes and smiled gently, but her gaze seemed to casually sweep towards Yu Yuanba. At the same time, after moving to Yu Huanglian, she also noticed that the other party hurriedly lowered her head, as if eager to hide the deep resentment in her eyes.
Then Yu Haitang stepped forward and held Yue Taigong's arms, trying to help him up. This made Yue Taigong secretly relieved and a look of gratitude appeared on his face, but his expression changed drastically the next second.
At this moment, Yu Yuanba, who seemed to be half a beat slower than everyone else, shouted while raising his hammer and said:
"So it was you who killed my brother? And it was you who poisoned me? Knock your mother!"
He swung the hammer with all his strength at Yu Huanglian with lightning speed. Originally, with Yu Huanglian's strength, she was sure to dodge the attack against the real Yu Yuanba. However, at the moment she was about to dodge, she felt a shock of her soul attacking her brain.
This made her body shake, and she could only watch helplessly as the hammer in front of her grew bigger and bigger!
boom--!
The sound echoed, shaking the already shabby hall, leaving only a pool of blood and flesh in place.
