"Your Highness, the 70,000 troops under the command of the rebel general Zhang Yu have all returned. I hope Your Highness will give them a chance to redeem themselves!"

Looking at Gu Tiefeng who was kneeling on one knee in front of him, Lu Fan nodded:

"I agree!"

"But these 70,000 troops cannot be dispatched for the time being. The termites inside must be completely eliminated to avoid accidents."

Gu Tiefeng was not surprised at all about Lu Fan's decision, and he thought so too.

Although he and Luo Cheng had killed some of them just now, it was still unknown whether there were any rebellious remnants in these 70,000 troops.

If they were not completely eliminated, there would be hidden dangers.

"I will follow your Highness's orders!"

"Get up, General Gu. You don't have to be so polite to me in the future. I am not a harsh person."

"Thank you, Your Highness!"

Gu Tiefeng stood up after saluting respectfully. Lu Fan frowned and asked:

"General Gu, you brought 60,000 troops. How are the other 140,000 troops arranged?"

Just now, he and Jiang Shang chatted and guessed that Zhang Yu's goal was likely to consume a large number of Zhenbei Army's troops.

Since the main force that came here did not consume much, the only thing that might have problems was the Zhenbei Army camp.

If the 140,000 Zhenbei Army had problems, the entire northern border would really be in danger.

The Mobei barbarians would never miss this great opportunity.

Faced with this question, Gu Tiefeng smiled confidently.

"Please rest assured, Your Highness. I have already solved Zhang Yu's conspiracy.

As for the 140,000 troops, they went directly to the pass on the south side of Beimang Mountain under the leadership of General Li, and would never let the Mobei barbarians invade."

"Uh!" Lu Fan was surprised when he heard this: "General Gu, how did you know about Zhang Yu's plan?"

"To reply to Your Highness, Zhang Yu's every move has long been under the surveillance of the king... this general."

"You knew that Zhang Yu was going to rebel?" Lu Fan's face was a little ugly.

"I know!" Gu Tiefeng smiled bitterly and nodded: "I knew it five years ago. During this period, I sent letters to the Ministry of War many times, but the answer I got was always to wait and see."

Hearing this answer, Lu Fan's face became uglier.

Without waiting for him to ask in detail, Gu Tiefeng continued to narrate: "The Ministry of War did not have clear instructions, and I did not dare to act rashly, for fear of causing chaos in the Zhenbei Army, so I secretly monitored and investigated Zhang Yu..."

As Gu Tiefeng narrated in great detail, Lu Fan and others knew what happened.

Five years ago

After knowing that Zhang Yu had the intention of rebellion and had reported it many times without any result, Gu Tiefeng used the power in his hands to monitor Zhang Yu.

Originally, he thought that it was just Zhang Yu who wanted to rebel, so he didn't take it seriously.

After all, Zhang Yu was just the right general of the Zhenbei Army.

It was completely a pipe dream to want to rebel with his own strength, so Gu Tiefeng didn't care too much at first.

But as more and more information was obtained from the surveillance investigation, Gu Tiefeng realized that things were not that simple.

Zhang Yu was not rebelling alone, he also colluded with the four major families and the Mobei barbarians.

Following these clues to continue investigating, he discovered the Holy Church behind Zhang Yu and the four major families.

When he investigated the existence of the Holy Church, the Holy Church also discovered that he was investigating in secret.

So a nine-level True Dan Realm strongman of the Holy Church came to him and wanted to threaten him to surrender.

But at that time he had already reached the third level of the Condensed Soul Realm, and directly suppressed the nine-level True Dan Realm strongman of the Holy Church on the spot.

However, he did not kill the strongman of the Holy Church, but let him go back.

Because the Holy Church was very powerful, he didn't want to rashly invite strong enemies for Daqian and the Northern Territory.

It was precisely because he let that guy go that the Holy Church began to coerce and lure him to win him over.

In order to deter him, the Holy Church directly sent three Soul Condensation Realm strongmen, two of whom were stronger than him.

Faced with such a threat, he had no choice but to pretend to obey and joined the Holy Church like Zhang Yu.

It's just that the Holy Church seemed to be on guard against him and didn't trust Zhang Yu at all.

At the request of the Holy Church, he began to give Zhang Yu power and let Zhang Yu place his confidants in the Zhenbei Army.

The so-called confidants were actually members of the Holy Church.

On the surface, he obeyed the Holy Church and fully cooperated with Zhang Yu's plan, but in fact he had been acting in secret.

He wrote down all the confidants that Zhang Yu placed in the Zhenbei Army, without missing a single one.

But at this moment, he couldn't act rashly.

After all, Zhang Yu had too many confidants in the Zhenbei Army, and if he acted rashly, it would definitely alarm the Holy Church.

So he could only choose to endure.

Later, the Holy Church seemed to find that he was not absolutely loyal, so they became more wary of him.

It was just because Zhang Yu had planted a large number of confidants in the Zhenbei Army, so the Holy Church did not take action against him.

It was not until Lu Fan came to Hanyang City that he saw the opportunity!

At this point, Gu Tiefeng chuckled and said: "The general went to visit His Highness that day, and he also wanted to see with his own eyes whether His Highness was really as the rumors said."

After this, Lu Fan finally understood and couldn't help laughing.

"So that's it, the king was still wondering that day, how could the dignified Zhenbei Army's left general take the initiative to visit a waste!"

After the laughter fell, Lu Fanman continued to ask curiously.

"Is it possible that Zhang Yu's backhand left behind was to let the soldiers in the Zhenbei Army camp mutiny and rebellion?"

Gu Tiefeng shook his head, his face became extremely gloomy.

"That guy didn't want to launch a mutiny, but he wanted to poison the 200,000 troops and 30,000 reserves in the camp."

"What!"

As soon as these words came out, the expressions of Lu Fan, Jiang Shang, Luo Cheng and others all changed drastically.

This answer exceeded Lu Fan and others' conjecture.

The strategy of poisoning 200,000 troops and 30,000 reserves was extremely vicious.

"Fortunately, General Li took action and directly killed the two soul condensing realm experts hidden in the army. Otherwise, the last general alone would not be able to compete."

When he said this, Gu Tiefeng also had a look of joy and fear on his face.

The Holy Cult seemed to have guessed that he was not really surrendering, so they directly hid two soul-condensing realm experts in the army who had surpassed him in cultivation.

If there were no Li Cunxiao.

The final result was that 200,000 Zhenbei troops and 30,000 reserve troops were poisoned, and he would also be killed by the two Saint Soul Condensing Realm powerhouses.

"Damn thing, the method is so cruel and vicious, it is really a crime that cannot be punished!"

Lu Fan hated and hated this so-called holy religion to the extreme.

If their plan succeeds, the entire northern territory will be exposed to the eyes of the Mobei barbarians.

Although there are three other ace legions in Daqian, those three ace legions are responsible for guarding the border of Daqian and cannot be transferred at all.

After all, the other three major borders also have powerful enemies eyeing them, and they are no easier than the northern border.

As for Daqian's other legions, they simply cannot compete with the ferocious and terrifying Mobei Barbarian Legion.

But fortunately, this conspiracy was resolved in time by Gu Tiefeng, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous.

Just when Lu Fan breathed a sigh of relief, Gu Tiefeng continued with a solemn expression...
