Rebirth of the Phoenix

Get rid of the old and welcome the new

Or, just assassinate Ye Jiu? He shook his head again. Ye Jiu himself is a top master, and he is always surrounded by soldiers. It is too difficult to kill him. Moreover, if Ye Jiu is killed, those brutal and cold-blooded silhouette troops may

It will get out of control, and there is no guarantee that he will fight against the Yue Family Army.

Now, he can be sure that the 10,000-strong Silhouette Army is loyal to Ye Jiu. They only work for Ye Jiu. Even if Ye Jiu dies, they will not accept a new master. Therefore, he does not even think about bringing the Silhouette Army to Ye Jiu.

Recruit for your own use.

When it comes to ruthlessness, Ye Jiu is not inferior to him at all. When it comes to scheming, he may not be able to outsmart Ye Jiu.

After repeated setbacks, he could no longer afford to be careless.

The days ahead were long, and he had to plan slowly—he thought about this after thinking about it all night.

Then, he called his deputy: "Is there any news from Tiandu?"

The deputy shook his head: "There is no news yet. In my opinion, the weather is cold, the wind and snow are frequent, it is difficult for homing pigeons and hawks to fly, and an accident is very likely. Even spies will spend more time than before.

, let’s just wait.”

Yue Dongsheng sighed: "We can only wait. The New Year is coming soon. You go and prepare the New Year's goods so that the whole army can eat well during the New Year. In addition, prepare a set of cotton-padded clothes for each person so that the whole army can have a good New Year."

An army of 50,000 people, with extra meals and a full set of winter clothes, would cost tens of thousands of taels of silver in total. It makes my heart ache just to think about it.

There is very little money to be made in this damn place. How can he not keep some military pay for himself?

He also has young children at home, and if he doesn’t save some private money, what will he do after he is disarmed and returns to his hometown?

But now, in order to stabilize the morale of the army, he had no choice but to cut off his flesh.

The deputy went down.

Yue Dongsheng walked to the inner room, lay down on the bed, and fell asleep soundly.

Ye Jiu, if you can't move now, just don't move until instructions come from Tiandu. Anyway, the Silhouette Army doesn't dare to move his 50,000 Yue Family Army. Whatever the issue, we'll settle the matter later.

While he was sleeping, the Silhouette Army Camp was collecting and burying corpses all over the place.

More than two thousand people died, mostly people sent by the Ghost Sect. Only a few hundred people on the Silhouette Army suffered some minor injuries, but there were no casualties. The Silhouette Army once again won a great victory.

As for the camps that were burned down last night, in Ye Jiu's view, this loss is nothing. After he completely destroys the ghost gate, the ghost gate's property belongs to the Silhouette Army - Yue is not the only one who can settle accounts.

Dongsheng and the Ghost Gate.

After inspecting the military camp, he asked, "Has everything been arranged for the spies?"

Mr. Wen said: "Last night, I sent more than a hundred people to disguise themselves, sneak into the ghost gate, follow them into the city, and secretly track them to their residences. In a few days, we will be able to control most of them.

a place to live.”

Last night, after the ghost disciples returned to the city, they would definitely get together to discuss the next move. Then, everyone would disperse and return to their own places of rest. The task of the spies was to find their places of stay.

Come out so that the silhouette army can kill them all.

Their general never likes to be sloppy in doing things. The Silhouette Army and the Ghost Gate have already fought twice, and the general will definitely hope that this third battle will be the last battle, so they need to be patient.

Ye Jiu nodded: "In short, the most important thing now is to keep calm and not to alert others."

The Ghost Gate suffered heavy damage last night and needs time to repair. Plus the Chinese New Year is coming soon, so we won't act rashly again.

The Chinese New Year is a big deal at Shanxi Pass. No matter the most arrogant soldier or the most ferocious thug, they will be more at ease during the Chinese New Year. What he is waiting for is the New Year's Eve.

Although such a one-sided massacre had just occurred, Yue Dongsheng and Guimen calmly endured this tone and stood still, while the Silhouette Army still closed its camp and could not leave. So, on the surface, everything was calm.

Until the New Year's Eve.

On this day, the entire Weishan Pass is immersed in the atmosphere of the New Year. Both the defenders of the Three Kingdoms and the residents of the neighborhood are preparing for the New Year feast.

According to the custom of Wei Shaanxi Pass for many years, this day is the "Armistice Day" of Wei Shaanxi Pass. No one goes out, all shops are closed, households do not interact with each other, and the city gates of the Three Kingdoms are also closed all day.

Blockade to prevent conflicts between people after meeting and ruining this important festival.

Even the most cruel and bloodthirsty people need at least one day a year to relax their body and mind.

For the only peaceful time of the year, all Weishan people recognize and follow this unwritten tradition.

The air in the military camps and neighborhoods was filled with the smell of firecrackers and the aroma of wine and meat. If they didn't know the truth, no one would believe that such a peaceful place could exist.

Just like every normal winter day, the sky on this day quickly became dark, and then became dark very quickly.

It snowed, not very heavily, but continuously.

There was not a single pedestrian on the street, and every house had its lights on, and the light that came through made the street dim and hazy.

As midnight approaches, groups of mysterious figures emerge from the darkness of various streets, emerge from inconspicuous broken houses, approach the target's residence at lightning speed, and quietly lurk in many places.

, at the door or entrance of many homes.

Half a moment later, the midnight bell sounded, and the moment of alternation between old and new came.

The Weishan people, who had been simmering in the house all day, opened the door drunkenly and prepared to set off firecrackers.

The moment the door opened, those mysterious figures suddenly stepped out and forced their way into the house. Without saying a word, they slashed with knives.

Many people were killed with a knife before they could figure out what was going on.

On the street, almost every household opened their doors, walked out with their wives and daughters, talked and laughed and set off fireworks.

There are fireworks in the sky, and there are cheers on the ground - except for the people from the ghost gate!

On this night, all the strongholds of the Ghost Sect and the houses of most ordinary members were raided by unknown persons at the same time.

These people are masked in black, wearing soft armor, armed with sharp knives, and are highly skilled in martial arts. They are very ruthless and cold-blooded and have a sharp and sharp style that is even better than that of the Ghost Sect.

Killing someone at this night was a taboo that everyone in the Shaanxi Pass would attack in groups. However, the sound of firecrackers and laughter that resounded through the sky suppressed the screams and fighting, and most of the members of the Ghost Sect did not

If someone gets the chance to go out and ask for help, even if someone is lucky enough to escape, they will soon be hacked to death by the people guarding outside.

This night, the people of Guimen were careless, and this night, the attackers had been preparing for too long and did not give Guimen a way out.

When the cannon firing period ended, which lasted about half an hour, the entire neighborhood fell silent, and the screams and fighting stopped.

After setting off the fireworks, residents went into their houses one after another, closed the doors, turned off the lights, and went to sleep, preparing for the coming of another dangerous day.

The entire neighborhood slowly fell into darkness.

The lights in the houses washed by blood were also turned off. Groups of black figures came out one after another, carrying their injured or dead companions with them. They closed the door and returned to where they came from before.

.

It was quiet and dark, as if nothing had happened.

After a night, every house opens its door and starts a new day of business.

There were more pedestrians, some pedestrians or carriages, walking towards the south city gate. After leaving the city, they quietly turned into the military camp of the Silhouette Army.

One of these people is Ye Jiu.

He suffered a lot of injuries, but none of them were fatal. Even without taking medicine, he was still in good spirits.

He took 6,000 of his subordinates and sneaked into the city before New Year's Eve and hid them secretly. It was not until noon last night that they all went out together to raid various strongholds of the Ghost Sect and the residences of many members.

No one saw them leaving the palace, no one saw them entering the city, and no one noticed their lurking.

When others are planning to celebrate the New Year, only the Silhouette Army is planning to massacre. The blood of the ghost disciples is their best New Year gift.

Their raid was an unprecedented success. After this night, even if there were still some remaining gang members in the ghost gate, they were unable to make a comeback.

The ghost gate that has occupied Weishan Pass for hundreds of years will become the past of Weishan Pass.

The current crisis at Shaanxi Pass belongs to him at night.

"General——" the voice of his subordinates came from outside.

He said calmly: "Come in."

Mr. Wen, Kan Li and other confidants walked in and said: "We have finished counting the number of people. The number of people who participated in last night's operation was 7,000, with 582 dead and 3,200 injured. Ghost Gate

there……"

Ye Jiu interrupted him: "Has the ghost gate been destroyed?"

Mr. Wen said: "There were more than a thousand people in the Guimen headquarters, all of whom were killed. There were no survivors. All the important leaders were dead. It is absolutely impossible to make a comeback."

"I have no interest in the enemies that have been destroyed. You can deal with them how you want without telling me." Ye Jiu said calmly, "Let's bury the dead soldiers and send people to send pensions to their families. Give them more.

Try to treat the wounded soldiers as best you can. That’s it.”

The ghost gate is just an insignificant thorn in his path. Once it is pulled out, he will completely forget about it.

Mr. Wen nodded: "I understand. This time, we collected a lot of money from the ghost gate. I think all of it will be given to the families of the sacrificed soldiers to ensure that their families will have food and clothing for life. How about that?"

Ye Jiu said: "Let's do it like this."

A vigorous massacre, under Ye Jiu's understatement, became a thing of the past not worth mentioning.

At this time, Hongzhuang came in from outside: "The New Year's Eve dinner is ready. Everyone, would you like to go over and have dinner?"

Because of last night's action, the Silhouette Army did not celebrate New Year's Eve, so the replacement will be carried out today.

Two thousand female soldiers have been busy yesterday, preparing a sumptuous flowing banquet, waiting for them to have a belated reunion dinner together when they return.

Ye Jiu stood up: "Let's go."

Dozens of tables of flowing water banquets were set up in the open space in the center of the camp. As soon as Yejiu sat down, other soldiers also sat down and began to drink happily.

Hongzhuang was sitting at a small table in the corner, eating with several female generals.

She took a sip of tonic wine and looked up at the gray sky. On such an important and festive festival, her "best" sister must be enjoying the emperor's favor, right?

As a good sister, how could she not give her a good New Year gift?

By now, that good sister should have received her gift, right?
