Wild God starts the game, I rely on incense to prove my truth to the emperor
Chapter 64 I Have a Plan
While a steady stream of people were still coming to Hongsong to burn incense and worship, Wan Zhuliu left his golden body in the air above the village, while his own Yin spirit separated from it and returned to the ground.
It’s time to learn new methods again!
……
Yi County Government, Daxia Military Camp.
"General Su, the Red Pine Willow God appeared today, subdued the Wolf King, and drove away the demons in Yi County. His prestige in the hearts of the people is at its peak. If we don't stop him, our army will be in danger!" Han Zhenjun said earnestly.
Su Baotong's face was slightly gloomy. He sat in a high seat without saying a word. It was unknown what he was thinking.
Seeing the situation, Han Zhenjun immediately gave Zhao Zhenjun a look.
Zhao Zhenjun understood and immediately spoke, "As far as I know, this morning alone, hundreds of people left the city and spontaneously headed to Yi County to offer sacrifices to the Willow God. The number is still increasing. Marshal, we must be on guard!"
long silence.
Su Baotong fixed his gaze on Hua Gu Zi, who was sitting at the head of the group below him. "What do you think?"
Hua Guzi smiled faintly, "Don't worry, Marshal. I have a plan that can save our Great Xia Army from danger and make the people of Yi County support your rule!"
"You bold girl, if you continue to speak so alarmist here, I will destroy your Dharma body and sever your spirit!"
Han Zhenjun suddenly had a bad premonition and immediately stopped him.
"In that case, then... I won't say anything!" Hua Guzi immediately shut her mouth.
"Han Zhenjun, you often advise me to listen to advice, why do you want to go against your will today?
Could it be that, since it involves your interests, this statement cannot be taken seriously?"
Su Baotong said very dissatisfiedly.
Hearing this, Han Zhenjun was anxious and angry, but he couldn't really turn against Su Baotong, so he could only grit his teeth and say, "The Marshal is right, it's me... who spoke too much!"
"Guanzi Hua, what good idea do you have? Tell me quickly." Su Baotong ignored Han Zhenjun and continued to look at Guzi Hua.
Upon hearing this, Hua Guzi frowned, her face tense. "General, since Master Han doesn't allow me to offer any advice, how dare I go against his wishes? I'm sorry!"
"You!!!" Han Zhenjun was furious.
But before he could react, Su Baotong suddenly smashed the armrest of the seat with his palm.
"Are my words useless?"
"Of course the Marshal's words are useful, and Hua Guzi is only loyal to one person. However... if the Marshal insists on asking me to make suggestions, please forgive my sins first!"
"Okay, I'll pardon you. If you have something to say, please speak up!"
Hearing this, Hua Guzi looked at Han Zhenjun and said, "Zhenjun, then I will tell you."
"..."
Han Zhenjun only responded with a cold look.
Hua Guzi, however, was completely unconcerned. She stepped forward and said with a smile, "General, my plan is called... leveraging momentum!"
"Taking advantage of the situation?"
Su Baotong's eyes narrowed, "What do you mean by taking advantage of the situation?"
"General, what I mean by borrowing momentum is the momentum of the Red Pine Willow God.
At present, the Red Pine Willow God is in his prime. He exterminates demons and kills evildoers. To the common people, he is a lifesaver. To the soldiers, he is a fearsome god with boundless magical powers.
If we confront them, not to mention whether the two True Lords can capture them, even if they can, it will definitely give them an excuse to make the people of Yi County dissatisfied.
But if we can leverage his influence, it will not only expand the influence of our Great Xia Army, but also strengthen the morale of the troops, making it easier for the Marshal to... take a further step forward."
Hearing this, Su Baotong narrowed his eyes. "Compared to how to take advantage of the situation, I'm more concerned about what you mean by... going one step further?"
The smile on Hua Guzi's face faded a little, and she spoke in a very serious tone.
"Carry forward...King of the North!"
Wow!
Su Baotong stood up suddenly, and his heavy armor rustled with the violent ups and downs.
"Can you say that again!"
"My Great Xia army is divided into three routes, but you, Marshal Su, led the central army to capture Hongsong and successively defeated the Liuzhou army, Xuanqing Palace, and the Huaihuaguan army. You are the first great commander to successfully enter the Central Plains and recapture the land from the Great Yan Dynasty.
You should make a suggestion to the emperor and be named the Northern King, commanding the three northern armies and continuing westward to reclaim the former territory of Daxia."
Hearing this, Su Baotong's eyes became extremely gloomy.
"Do you know... this is insubordination?"
"If the Marshal can be promoted to the Northern King, I will willingly accept the blame without any regrets!"
Hua Gu Zi was righteous and fearless.
"Me too!" Yun Yangzi suddenly stood up and echoed.
However, there was a lack of sincerity in his eyes, and he revealed his envy of Hua Gu Zi from time to time.
Su Baotong stared at Hua Guzi for a long time with a burning gaze, and then looked at Han Zhenjun.
"What do you think, Master?"
"General, don't listen to slander. My central army has suffered the greatest losses. If I rashly declare myself king, it will not only be of no benefit, but will also lead to a joint attack from the north and east armies. The loss will outweigh the gain!" Han Zhenjun immediately stepped forward to analyze the pros and cons.
After hearing this, Su Baotong nodded.
"Okay, okay!"
Han Zhenjun's face lit up with joy, and he thought to himself that Su Baotong could be the commander of an army, after all, he was not a child, and he could still distinguish right from wrong and know what was important.
Unexpectedly, the next moment, his smile froze on his face.
"Huh! According to what you, Han Zhenjun, mean, am I not qualified to be the Northern King?
I have fought in many battles against the imperial army. I had 30,000 brothers under my command, but now only 15,000 or 16,000 are left. Do those two idiots in the Northern Army and the Eastern Army have such courage?
Since you think I'm not qualified to be the Northern King, then who is suitable?"
Su Baotong sneered.
"No, no... Marshal, now it's not about who will be the Northern King, but you shouldn't be the Northern King..."
"Why shouldn't the Grand Marshal take the position? Does the True Lord have any opinions about the Marshal?"
Before Han Zhenjun could finish his words, he was interrupted by Hua Gu Zi.
He originally wanted to say that Su Bao shouldn't have brought this up with him, but after Hua Guzi misinterpreted it, the meaning immediately changed.
Even Zhao Zhenjun, who was standing by, couldn't stand it any longer and added, "Brother Han, the Marshal has treated us well. On this issue, I support Hua Guzi!"
"No, I mean..."
"Shut up!" Han Zhenjun was about to explain when Su Baotong interrupted him harshly.
"Han Zhenjun, you're not in good shape today. Go back to your tent and rest first!"
Now, Su Baotong directly ordered him to leave. Even though Han Zhenjun had a high status and was once the number one in the central army under Su Baotong, he was helpless at this time.
He looked at Hua Gu Zi deeply, waved his sleeves and left the camp.
Only then did Su Baotong's expression ease.
"Hua Gu Zi, please continue. If I were to become the Northern King, how would I take advantage of the situation?"
When Hua Guzi heard this, the corners of her mouth raised slightly without leaving any trace.
"General, this is very simple. We just need to...respect the Willow God as the patron saint of our army and build a shrine and temple for him within the county seat."
"what?!"
Su Baotong's brows sank. "Wouldn't this be giving Willow God a free ride? If I build a temple for him, wouldn't he be able to enjoy the incense offerings from the entire Yi County?"
