"Who is Sun Ergui?" Erky was shocked when he heard the news. When he was dealing with Ju Hao's army of tens of thousands, he didn't feel so difficult. Now he has let him get rid of the team of Ji Wudi, a team of only hundreds of people, and he has really puzzled him.

"There is no such person among the Daliang General, and this person is not seen taking any important positions in the court!" At this time, a side general said to Erkie.

Before Zartai died in the battle, they felt that Ji Wudi could not be underestimated. Now that they were lost, they naturally had to look at Ji Wudi differently.

"This person is only a centurion. I'm afraid no one in the Daliang court knows him?" The vanguard said to Erkie at this time.

Ji Wudi was unknown. Not to mention that their northern generals knew too little about Ji Wudi, even the Daliang court probably wouldn't know that there were such a person. Otherwise, he wouldn't believe that such a person who could fight was not even a general.

This situation occurs either because of some negligence in the employment of people in the Daliang court, or because of the treacherous and treacherous people, which leads to the inability of talent like Ji Wudi to emerge.

"Since the Daliang court buried talents, why don't we use high officials and generous salaries to take them for our own use?" The general of the bandit immediately said to Erkie when he heard this.

It seems that he feels that as long as he gives Ji Wudi more things, the more tempting it is, he will definitely be able to touch Ji Wudi's heart.

As long as Ji Wudi is used by the northern country, how could the Daliang Dynasty rely on Ju Hao and others to prevent the northern cavalry from expanding its territory southward?

"This statement makes sense. In this way, I will draft a turf roll, whip it back to the desert and hand it over to the Khan to explain our opinions. I believe that with the Khan's tolerance, I will definitely reuse Sun Ergui!" Erkki fully agreed with this suggestion.

A soldier who defeats others without fighting is the best choice, not to mention that Daliang loses a strong man, while the northern desert will open up the territory and expand the territory. It is a trick that kills two birds with one stone. How could he not use it?

"But at this moment, the pass is lost. It is meaningless for us to pay for it again. What should we do next?" said the pioneer officer at this time.

Whether it is to surrender Ji Wudi or win over Ji Wudi, that is all a story. Now they have no support as a way to stay here. If they are afraid they will be attacked by the giant army. If that is true, they may die under the siege of the giant army.

"Put Yao Pass temporarily!" Erkic heard this and immediately said to all the generals around him. He also knew very well that the vanguard's concerns were reasonable. At present, they could not waste time here anymore. They had to retreat to the closest Ping Yao Pass, which was closest to them, as fast as possible.

Without going back to Pingyao Pass on Maguan Road, they could only choose a path. This path cannot pass through siege equipment and other equipment, which means they have to discard a large amount of supplies.

But they had no choice but to fight from Zuoma Pass. However, Zuoma Pass is now Ji Wudi's territory. With Ji Wudi's wisdom and calculations, they would basically not get any advantage if they wanted to attack Zuoma Pass.

Therefore, Elky did not think about this at all, but led the army and gave up a large amount of supplies and took the trail that was rarely visited by people.

The northern army had tens of thousands of people. What they needed to go back to Pingyao Pass through the trail was naturally time, so they did not waste time. After Erkic issued an order, tens of thousands of northern army marched on the spot and headed towards Pingyao Pass.

However, at this time Ji Wudi had already deployed the defense at Zuoma Pass, and then sent a soldier to inform Ju Hao of the battle situation here.

Early the next morning, Ju Hao's army came towards the gate of Zuomaguan. With Lin Wei and Xueying and others, Ju Hao led his army into Zuomaguan.

Near the gate of Zuomaguan, Ji Wudi, Xue Heng, Zhang Zhijian, Zhu Cong, and the one hundred grain transport soldiers knelt on the ground waiting for Ju Hao's hair to fall.

"Sun Ergui, I promised you that once you capture Zuoma Pass, I will let you and your 100 brothers be free, and will never hold you accountable for any matters outside Yinchuan City. Now that Zuoma Pass has been put in, I fulfill my promise and pardon you for one hundred food transport!" Ju Hao saw Ji Wudi and the 100 brothers kneeling in front of him, and naturally knew what they were asking for. So he glanced at Xueying on the side and said to Ji Wudi immediately.

Ju Hao fulfilled his promise, on the one hand, because Xueying and the others were supported by Concubine Jing, who was so powerful that he could not afford to provoke him. He promised that as long as he could win the pass, he would not blame everything. If he broke his promise, it would inevitably cause Xueying to be dissatisfied, thus forming an opposition with Concubine Jing's faction, which would not be worth the loss.

Second, Ji Wudi really has a way of fighting. With a team of 100 people, he really won the pass. In front of everyone, if he broke his promise and Ji Wudi, he would no longer be able to establish his prestige in the army.

Taking these two points into consideration, Ju Hao let Ji Wudi and the others go, seemingly fulfilling his promise, but in fact he has no other choice.

"Thank you, Marshal!" When Ji Wudi heard this, he immediately said thank you to Ju Hao, then got up from the ground, and was about to say something to the more than one hundred brothers beside him.

But unexpectedly, Xueying spoke first: "Sun Baihu, since you, a hundred brothers, have saved your life, why not go with me to see Concubine Jing?"

This seemed to be a deal between Xueying and Ji Wudi. She helped Ji Wudi save more than a hundred brothers who had been alive and dead. Then Ji Wudi followed her to meet Empress Jing.

"No!" Before Ji Wudi could speak, Zhu Cong immediately stretched out his spear and blocked Xueying in front of him, and then said to Xueying, "This person is my grudge, so you can't take it away!"

He felt that the matter of transporting food was gone, and what should be done next was his personal grudge between him and Ji Wudi. Before that, he would not allow anyone to attack Ji Wudi.

In fact, in Zhu Cong's heart, the hatred for Ji Wudi had long been wiped out in the bloody battle of life and death. At this moment, he used this as an excuse, just because he didn't want Xueying to take Ji Wudi away, because he didn't know if Ji Wudi went to see if Concubine Jing could come back alive.

"What do you want?" As soon as Zhu Cong suddenly appeared in front of Xueying, the people behind Xueying rushed out, as if they were going to fight with Zhu Cong.

Xue Heng, Zhang Zhijian and the one hundred soldiers did not stand by, and then rushed behind Zhu Cong, in front of Ji Wudi, intending to use his body to block the sword for Ji Wudi.
