Conferred Gods: Start with a Phoenix clone

Chapter 236 Shu County

Deng Chanyu never formally persuaded the enemy to surrender, and she also brought Feng Lin, who was imprisoned in Nanjun, to Hanzhong.

Feng Lin was also sent by her to see Zhang Guifang. When the two old friends met again, they both sighed.

When Nezha saw the Hun Tian Ling, he was a little hesitant to speak. This thing gave him an inexplicable sense of familiarity.

"What are you looking at? Have you finished copying the Yin Fu Sutra that Master asked you to copy? Go and copy the sutra quickly."

Deng Chanyu sent him away directly.

In order to cultivate a sense of anticipation and make Nezha more dedicated to his cultivation, the Wind Fire Wheel, the Universe Ring, and the Chaos Sky Ribbon must be given little by little, and cannot be given out all at once.
Hanzhong is like a barrier, completely isolating the inside and outside of Shu.

Deng Ai launched a surprise attack on Jinsha City and wiped out all the priests and nobles in the city.

The 100,000 troops still fighting outside Jinsha City collapsed in an instant, like a piece of delicious fat meat, with the Deng family and Sanxing City each swallowing up a part of it.

Afterwards, Deng Ai led 20,000 elite troops and 35,000 soldiers who had been freed from slavery northward, while Huang Feibiao led 50,000 troops of the Deng family westward to jointly besiege Sanxing City.

Deng's Tailuan, Zhao Sheng, and Sun Yanhong, along with Huang Feihu's retainers Huang Ming, Zhou Ji, Long Huan, and Wu Qian, all took to the battlefield, with Su Quanzhong leading the charge, his Fang Tian Hua Ji in hand. Sanxing City sensed imminent annihilation, and children as young as seven and men in their eighties joined the fray. This desperate, unleashed fighting power inflicted a small loss on the Deng family.

The two armies fought fiercely in the field for a whole day. At the critical moment, Zhang Guifang led 3,000 elite soldiers selected from the 30,000 people and rushed 700 miles. When both sides were exhausted, they launched a fierce attack from the north of the battlefield.

Zhang Guifang broke through the enemy's formation seven times, rolled up the pearl curtain, and killed an ancestor who was equivalent to the human immortal realm summoned by the priest of Sanxing City. After that, he rode a white horse and a silver spear, moving freely as if he was in an empty space.

To the south was Deng Ai, to the east was Huang Feibiao, and to the north was Zhang Guifang. The three parties joined forces and finally defeated all the resistance forces in Sanxing City through field battles.

Zhang Guifang led hundreds of cavalrymen and pursued the enemy relentlessly, heading north from Jinsha City for more than 600 miles. Finally, when they were about to enter the Xiqi area, they caught up with the remaining enemies in a place called Jiucaigou and killed the last priest of Sanxing City.

The priests are gone, and the inheritance of this civilization is broken. People will learn Yin language and speak Chinese. If future generations want to know what happened in the past, they can only dig at the archaeological site.
"He is indeed a famous general." After seeing the information sent back from Shu, Deng Chanyu had a new understanding of Zhang Guifang's bravery.

This guy who is definitely a match for thousands of people must have a combat power of at least 95, right?

The most important thing is talent.

Since Zhang Guifang didn't want to be an enemy of the Shang Dynasty, Deng Chanyu didn't make things difficult for him. He said, "Go and fight the barbarians." Feng Lin, Zhang Guifang's old friend, also went with him.

Jinsha City and Sanxing City were pacified one after another. There were still some small castles in Shu that needed to be cleared out bit by bit. This was similar to Sun Quan's pacification of Shanyue. It took more than ten years to completely clear them out. The environment in Shu was not suitable for mobilizing a large army. Zhang Guifang was very suitable and could also train troops at the same time.

The 30,000 troops brought by Hong Jin all surrendered to the Deng family.

Many of these soldiers are stationed at Qinglong Pass, and their families are all there. Deng Chanyu can only try her best to send people to pick them up, but she cannot guarantee whether she can bring them all back.

Gou Zhang and Bi Huan both surrendered. These two men could only be considered second-rate military generals, and they were born as bandits. However, the government these days was not much stronger than the bandits, so Deng Chanyu sent them to serve under Zhang Guifang and fight the barbarians.

She kept the captive Hong Jin. After hearing from Nuwa that this guy was from Kunpeng's side, she hadn't figured out how to deal with the cause and effect. It would be best to find someone who had nothing to do with her to take action.
Jinsha City and Sanxing City were not far from each other, and she had now merged them into one city, naming it Shu County. Deng Chanyu assigned Zhang Guifang to lead 18,000 elite troops to suppress the rebellions, Deng Ai to command 30,000 soldiers to garrison Shu County, and Huang Feibiao to lead 50,000 soldiers to guard Hanzhong. She also transferred Mei Bo to oversee road construction. The future cities of Nanjun, Hanzhong, and Shujun would be the center of development, and they needed sufficiently wide roads. She herself returned to Nanjun with the remaining troops.

Ji Chang was a wise man of his time and an outstanding politician.

After discovering that Yin Hong was showing signs of being out of control, the old man executed Yin Hong's fifteen guards for no reason.

As Hong Jin was late in returning, he appointed Jiang Ziya as General Zhengdong to replace the position vacated by Hong Jin.

The Duke of Xibo played this trick beautifully. Yin Hong thought Jiang Ziya was his official, but he didn't know that Jiang Ziya had already been sleeping with Ji Chang.
The newly adopted son Ji Xukun seized the military power of Jiameng Pass, and the original general Hu Sheng died in the chaos.

Hong Jin inside, Hu Sheng outside, Yin Hong's two arms were all cut off, and he immediately became obedient.

Of the four generals Pang, Liu, Gou and Bi who were recaptured from Erlong Mountain, Gou Zhang and Bi Huan "disappeared". Seeing Yin Hong lose power, Pang Hong and Liu Fu immediately turned to Jiang Ziya, who was also an outsider.

Jiang Ziya also accepted Wu Ji and Long Xuhu as his disciples. He had soldiers and generals under his command and was no longer the eighty-year-old man serving as a vanguard officer.

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty! I really can't bear to leave you! Your Majesty? Your Majesty!" Fei Zhong and You Hun cried in Shouxian Palace, their faces covered with tears. They crawled on their knees for a few steps, trying to pull the corner of King Zhou's clothes, but King Zhou had made up his mind and kicked them away impatiently.

King Zhou shouted sternly: "Are you planning to disobey my order?!"

The two treacherous ministers' faces were filled with fear: "Your Majesty, we absolutely dare not do that."

"It's good that you don't dare. Go back and prepare. You will serve in the army in five days."

After leaving a word, King Zhou left.

Fei Zhong and You Hun had complicated expressions. King Zhou sent them as military supervisors to conquer Xiqi, and the main general was Qiu Yin, who took over as the general of Qinglong Pass from Zhang Guifang.

The expedition was just a superficial act. In reality, King Zhou was somewhat disgusted with the two men and wanted to kick them out of the court.

The people King Zhou was close to recently were Fei Lian and his son E Lai. This pair was brave and strong, able to fight bears and tigers with their bare hands. King Zhou himself was strong and admired warriors very much. In addition, Fei Lian and his son were brave and good at speaking, so they were naturally valued.

Fei Zhong and You Hun were both weaklings, their flattery was unoriginal, their ability to get things done was poor, and each was greedier than the other, so they "fell out of favor" with King Zhou.

King Zhou was also making use of the waste. He knew that the two of them would never surrender to Xiqi, and Ji Chang would not want such flatterers, so he simply sent them out to serve as military supervisors. The incident of Zhang Guifang defecting on the battlefield and trying to persuade the army to surrender really made him lack trust in these generals.

The two men shook their heads and sighed as they left Shouxian Palace and went home to pack up their gold, silver and treasures. Without power, they could not keep such a huge fortune, so they had to make proper arrangements.

Little did they know that Deng Chanyu was controlling two birds and watching them from afar.

I have given away so much gold, silver and jewelry, and now it is time to return them to their original owners.
