On December 19th, Lingxi City.

The remnants of the Imperial Guard, who had traveled day and night, finally rushed back to Lingxi City and prepared to meet you.

As early as three days ago, the information about the ambush of the Imperial Guards and even detailed war reports had been presented to the Ouyang Shuo case, which made Ouyang Shuo very angry and slapped the table on the spot, with a gloomy face.

When the king gets angry, the heaven and earth change color.

Lingxi City was suddenly shrouded in a dark cloud, and everyone was careful, for fear of making the Lord angry. The black snake who rushed back almost committed suicide in front of the Lord and apologized.

Due to intelligence errors, the Imperial Guards were ambushed, and even the entire Yunnan war situation was shockingly reversed. The intelligence leaders such as the Black Snake were really to blame for their deaths.

The black snake stood outside the yard of Junshang for a whole day and night, but could not see Junshang.

When I arrived, I only received a four-word entrustment: "I will make merits and atone for my sins!"

After hearing this, the black snake bowed deeply outside the yard, turned around and left, and disappeared into the night.

Also punished were the commander of Shanhaiwei, the commander of Shanhaiwei, and the military intelligence director Cobra. The three major intelligence leaders were in a mess this time and were in a mess.

It is really ironic that the intelligence network that the territory has built for huge amounts of money has actually dropped at critical moments.

In order to quell the influence of the war in Dongchuan County, Ouyang Shuo had to urgently recruit Du Ruhui, Zhao Kuo and Chen Gong to Lingxi City, and at the same time, he kept in touch with Bai Qi, Jia Xu, Shi Wansui and others through letters.

The crowd worked hard for two days and adjusted the combat plan previously formulated.

The news that the Allies and the Allied Forces sent to Tengchong City was finally learned by the Black Snake Guard as soon as possible.

In response to this dynamic, after Bai Qi's suggestion and Ouyang Shuo agreed, the combat strategies of the Central Army and the Left Army were adjusted.

The central army formed by Shi Wansui's army and Zhang Liao's army will slowly advance and maintain pressure on Tengchong City. At the same time, the left-wing army led by Bai Qi will step up its occupation of Mengding County.

More importantly, based on the teleportation tactics that the Allies might adopt again, Bai Qi formulated a "black chess" plan to counter the teleportation tactics based on the previous tactics.

At present, the entire military arrangement is centered around the "Black Chess" plan. It is precisely because Ouyang Shuo wants the Black Snake to redeem his sins and make sure to ensure that the "Black Chess" plan can be implemented smoothly.

…………

When he learned that the Imperial Guards had returned, Ouyang Shuo, who had been expressionless in the past few days, turned aside, walked out of the courtyard and rushed to the city gate to greet him.

"Master!"

Seeing Ouyang Shuo, Huo Qubing immediately dismounted, knelt on one knee, clasped his fists with both hands, and said speechlessly for a moment, saying sadly: "I will be entrusted by the Lord, so I will ask you to punish me!"

Ouyang Shuo stepped forward to help Huo Qubing and said, "The defeat in this battle is not the general's crime."

"Your Majesty, I will be guilty!"

Huo Qubing could not overcome this hurdle and was full of blame. He never expected that the first defeat in his life would come so quickly and be caught off guard. This was a big blow to the proud Huo Qubing.

Ouyang Shuo firmly helped Huo Qubing up, "Get up first!" As he said that, Ouyang Shuo looked up at the soldiers of the Imperial Guards behind Huo Qubing.

After running all the way, almost all the soldiers who broke through were hungry, hunger, fatigue, pain, etc., constantly invading the soldiers' bodies, making them look very bad.

Even so, they cannot be defeated.

What really makes them anxious is worrying about the blame from the Lord. The Imperial Guard is the sharpest sword in the Lord's hand and is the ever-destroying glory of the territory.

But at this moment, he fell.

Anything that the emperor showed a disappointed expression was enough to make the soldiers ashamed to death.

If it weren't for rushing back to Lingxi City to report, some soldiers would have committed suicide in the middle of the journey and apologized for their death. Seeing the Lord looking over, the soldiers dodged their eyes, and some even lowered their heads and did not dare to look at each other.

When Ouyang Shuo saw it, he looked sad. He noticed the anxiety and embarrassment in the eyes of the soldiers, and looked at the pair of eyes that had lost their spirits, and his heart felt like he was cramped.

At this moment, the unique, magnetic and infectious sound of the soldiers came to the ears of the soldiers.

"My sons, a failure is not enough to defeat the Imperial Guard. Your bravery and fearlessness have always been seen in your eyes, and they are worthy of the reputation and glory of the Imperial Guard."

There was a commotion in the crowd, and a soldier turned his head and looked at the father with the child's eyes.

"My sons, raise your head, thrust your chest and look straight ahead. The lost glory can only be retrieved on the battlefield; hold the spear in your hands tightly and continue to defend the honor of the Imperial Guards."

More and more soldiers looked up and looked at the Lord.

At this moment, they were like abandoned children, and suddenly found their way home, with a complicated expression.

"You guys, welcome you home!"

Ouyang Shuo smiled slightly, like the sunshine shining warmly into the hearts of every soldier that were about to be broken, baptized their fatigue and soothe their anxious hearts.

A sob sound faintly came from the team, low, depressed, and relieved.

The men secretly wiped away their tears with their dirty sleeves, leaving a stain on the corners of their eyes, but their faces were extremely cheerful and relaxed.

A group of panic-ridden warriors found the direction to move forward again.

"Master!"

The Imperial Guards knelt down on the ground, all of them were excited, "Follow you forever, Lord!" The Lord's words made the soldiers feel that no matter how great the suffering they suffered, it was worth it.

The Imperial Guard will never give up!

Bai Hua and others who were accompanying looked at the scene in front of them, and sighed. How could Di Chen and others know what kind of spirit does the rise of Shanhai City really rely on?

As long as this spirit is immortal, Shanhai City will never fall.

…………

That night, Ouyang Shuo did not welcome the soldiers of the Imperial Guard.

He knew very well that the soldiers of the Imperial Guard were a group of arrogant men. After defeating this time, he was unwilling to accept any gifts. Forced banquets would only make them more and more embarrassed.

Ouyang Shuo just instructed the quarantine officers to send supplies to them according to normal standards without any extra care. Of course, during the day, Ouyang Shuo specially returned to Shanhai City.

In Wu Temple, Ouyang Shuo used a king-level general soul to resurrect the dead veteran Ma Teng. As soon as he walked out of Wu Temple, Ma Teng's first request was to return to the team.

When Ouyang Shuo saw it, he was a little surprised.

From this point of view, Huo Qubing, the commander of the Imperial Guard, has completely impressed the veteran general.

Even so, Ouyang Shuo did not agree to Ma Teng's request.
Chapter completed!
