Chapter 557

The next day, the city of Guiguang was still as calm as usual. The people were struggling to survive. In their spare time, they talked about the battle between the Xuemu Dynasty and the Yuxin Holy Land in the Yuxin territory.

People of various forces care about fighting their own family on the front line and plotting their own interests.

Gao Shun was wearing the magic armor, and his expression was serious as he climbed the tower to inspect as usual. The soldiers on the tower saw Gao Shun's arrival, all of them raised their chests and raised their heads without squinting.

They knew very well how strict this general was with discipline. Once, because of a commander who was drinking in the tower, he was drunk and lying on the tower. After being beaten soberly by General Gao, he counted his crimes and killed him on the spot, shocking all the defenders. .

A dark-faced general saw Gao Shun patrolling the city gate and respectfully came to Gao Shun.

"General Gao, everything is normal in Guiguang City!"

Gao Shun nodded and looked into the distance. This partial general is named Wei Zhibin and belongs to Zhang Mowen.

Because Xi Zhicai has become Zhang Mowen's confidant, Gao Shun, who is intimate with Xi Zhicai, naturally belongs to the line of the City Lord's Mansion.

Therefore, the people of the City Lord's Mansion were extremely respectful to Gao Shun.

"Now the Yuxin territory has been violently attacked by the Jade Heart Holy Land, and the Guangyang territory has also been attacked by the Yuxin Holy Land to win the three cities. Although our Guiguang City is far away from the battlefield, we have to guard against the battle against the Yuxin Holy Land. !"

Because of the Battle of Yuxin Territory, half of the one million elite soldiers in Guiguang City were transferred, and now there are only 500,000 elite soldiers in the defenders of Guiguang City.

The armies of other large cities were not mobilized, and the defenders of each city remained at 300,000 troops.

It's just that the combat power of these large armies is not as strong as that of Guiguang City's elite soldiers.

Wei Zhibin nodded seriously when he heard Gao Shun's words. Looking at Gao Shun's tall and awesome back, he sighed for Gao Shun in his heart.

Such an outstanding general, General Gao, was not dispatched to the battlefield to heroically kill the enemy. If the famous General Molian led the trapped camp to appear in the Yuxin territory and dealt with the Jade Heart Holy Land, it would definitely be a super odd army. How could it be possible to lose more than a dozen cities.

Ugh!

Now in the Yuxin territory, the fame of the general's son Huang Zhonghong is getting higher and higher, and some young generals have also appeared, but the name of the magician general Gao Shun has been slowly drowned.

This also shows that the noble generals such as Huang Zhonghong are afraid of General Molian, and they dare not let Gao Shun go to the battlefield to fight for merit, for fear that his brilliance alone will cover them all.

Gao Shun had been standing in the city tower from the morning until dusk fell, and just walked back to the barracks under the awe-inspiring eyes of the guards.

And now the leaders of the major forces and middle forces in Guiguang City have also begun to act, and they have rushed to the City Lord's Mansion one after another.

In the hall of the mansion, Zhang Mowen sat high in the main seat, and there were six confidants on both sides, one of which was Xi Zhicai.

"My lord, now Yuxin's territory has been taken over by the Jade Heart Holy Land. His Majesty the Snow Emperor was furious and asked us to send reinforcements to Yuxin City. Send reinforcements, I'm afraid it will be difficult!"

One of the gentle men said sadly.

It is easy to say that the court wants reinforcements, but how to implement it is a big problem.

Half of the strength of the City Lord's Mansion has already been dispatched. If some more troops are dispatched, they will not be able to return on the battlefield at that time, and the entire City Lord's Mansion will suffer heavy losses.

Originally, the major forces in Guiguang City were intertwined, and some major forces had been rooted in Guiguang City for thousands of years. The forces involved in Guiguang City were extremely extensive, and various officials had their presence.

At that time, the City Lord's Mansion will not be able to deter the major forces, and the interests of the City Lord's Mansion or the power will be greatly reduced.

The top forces in Guiguang City are not good, everything is based on interests. These forces abide by the rules of the imperial court, maintain their dedication to the imperial court every year, and will not add trouble to the imperial court, and the imperial court will not do anything to them.

They don't care how the city lord and the various forces coordinate below, the court only needs the overall stability of the Xuemu Dynasty.

The most important thing is that there are people who are loyal and powerful to the Xuemu Dynasty, but they are very jealous of the position of the eight giant cities. Once the city lord Zhang can't deter the entire Guiguang territory, the court will be dissatisfied with it, capable competitors. They will join hands to get City Lord Zhang down as soon as possible.

Therefore, with the order issued by the imperial court this time, Zhang Mowen decided to hit the various forces.

The main purpose of convening the various forces this time is to let the various forces send people to fight again, so as to preserve the strength of the city's main government and weaken the strength of the various forces.

But people from various forces are not fools. They have to obey the orders of the imperial court, but if they give more or less, they will have various reasons to shirk. Once the forces are less, the rest will need to be filled by the forces of the City Lord’s Mansion. .

Zhang Mowen looked at Xi Zhicai, who had always kept a calm smile next to him. Thinking of Xi Zhicai's suggestion at that time, he asked himself to gather all the forces together instead of visiting him in secret. He was full of confidence in Xi Zhicai's plan. .

Zhang Mowen said to himself:

"Don't worry, not only will these forces not shirk this time, but they will even vie to send out the strong."

The worried man and the other four confidants looked at Zhang Mowen's expression and looked at Xi Zhicai next to him. They knew that this time, the suggestion to summon all the forces came from Xi Zhicai. The various forces are vying to send out the coup of the strong, and this is not what they know.

One of the confidants said: "Master Xi, now the party is about to start, should you tell us your plan, so that we can be prepared!"

"Yeah, Mr. Xi, it's time for us to be clear!" The person next to him also said.

Xi Zhicai, who was in a good mood, looked at the eager eyes of several people, shook Yupu lightly and said with a smile:

"My lords~lightnovelpub.net~ In fact, this is not a good idea. When we announce that the court needs us to send strong people to Yuxin territory, we will list the strong people sent by various forces and the resources contributed by them. Once registered, a public list will be set up in the city, so that everyone can see this list."

Make a list!

Everyone's eyes lit up, and along with Xi Zhicai, he told the matter lightly, but how could they not think of the meaning behind it.

What is the most important thing for a power is reputation!

When the Xuemu Dynasty fought against the Holy Land of Jade Heart, various forces sent strong men to the battlefield to heroically kill the enemy and defend the country. What could be easier than this to promote the reputation of their own forces.

It can be said that it was a mandatory requirement of the imperial court before, but now I am willing to send more strong people to the battlefield.

Isn't the prestige of his own power rising.

Think about how the forces at the bottom of the list will be spurned.
