When Yang Yanzhang was saluting Du Cang, he took a special look at Du Yu. There was no way. Du Yu was too tall, but it was too eye-catching.

When he rode on the horse and came to Ducang just now, Du Yu stood on the ground and was taller than him on the horse. His height was really amazing.

However, Yang Yanzhang was in charge of the tour commander before and was also a knowledgeable person. After seeing the giant bow on Du Yu's back, he immediately understood Du Yu's identity. With such a tall figure and such a large bow, it was probably because the archer of the gods did not run away.

After all, the giant bow of the God's Archer cannot be made by simply enlarging the bow. This is all made by famous craftsmen with special materials.

Ordinary bows and arrows are limited by materials and can only be killed by fifteen stones at most, but giant bows are different. The bow arms are long and there are many materials to choose from, so this bow starts with eighteen stones.

The bow like Du Yu's back can cost at least twenty stones, with a range of about four hundred steps. If you are not prepared to be shot by a cold-blooded boy, Yang Yanzhang feels that he can't stop it.

Just looking at Du Yu, Yang Yanzhang also had the same question as before. That is, why did there be a magic archer in Cangyi City?

You should know that the divine archers are not easy to train. As far as Yang Yanzhang knows, there are only two armies in the Great Zhou Dynasty. One is the Feng Guard Army that year, and there are fifteen divine archers in it. However, with the help of Tang Shuyu, these fifteen divine archers were killed in the battlefield.

Another army with divine archers is the border army in the northern border. However, the border army in the northern border faces barbarians, so the reputation of these divine archers is not obvious. Even the patrol department did not have specific information about these divine archers.

Thinking of this, Yang Yanzhang looked at Du Yu with a slightly moving look. Could this person be from the North?

"I have met General Yang."

Du Cang bowed to Yang Yanzhang. Seeing Yang Yanzhang staring at Du Yu, he spoke and said, "This is a fellow clan of the lower official, Du Yu."

Hearing Du Cang introduce himself, Du Yu also took a step forward, bowed to Yang Yanzhang, and said, "Du Yu, the archer of the God Bow Camp of the Tianmen Army in the North, has met General Yang."

"Tianmen Army?"

Hearing this number, Yang Yanzhang frowned slightly. He looked up at Du Yu deeply, and then silently withdrew his gaze without Du Yu's gift.

Seeing Yang Yanzhang's reaction, Du Yu smiled bitterly in his heart, but said nothing.

There is actually a reason why Yang Yanzhang ignored Du Yu, the magic archer, so he was so indifferent. In the Great Zhou Dynasty, there were two armies, which were famous all over the world.

One of them was the Fengwei Army led by Mo Congyi back then. He guarded the eastern border and used his army's strength to not only fight against the Three Kingdoms to defend, but also could even grab several cities from time to time. Its strength can be seen.

Another one as famous as the Feng Guard Army is the Tianmen Army where Du Yu was before.

The army has a total of 200,000 people. They have been guarding the northern border for decades. In the past few decades when they were guarding, the barbarians in the northern border have never been able to cross the line. Even under their shock, when the merchants of the Great Zhou were doing business with the barbarians on the grassland near the city guarded by the Tianmen Army, those barbarians rarely dared to intercept and kill the merchants of the Great Zhou.

Therefore, although this Tianmen Army rarely fought since Mo Congyi ascended the throne, resulting in their reputation in the Great Zhou Dynasty, none of them, including the Three Kingdoms in the East dared to ignore them.

Logically speaking, such an army should be the Dinghai Shenjian of the Great Zhou Dynasty. Yang Yanzhang would not be hostile to it, but the problem is that the position of this army is problematic.

The commander of the Tianmen Army is Kou Yi, who was the old emperor at that time, and the confidant of Grandpa Mo Zizai. He is almost in his 90s now.

After Mo Congyi passed away, he learned that Mo Congyi had passed the throne to Tang Weiyi. Although he did not express his clear opposition, he gave Mo Yuanji the ruling power of the Tianmen Army backhand, which directly led to the originally iron-clad Tianmen Army becoming fragmented.

Some people supported Kou Yi's decision and joined Mo Yuanji's subordinates, who were the more than 100,000 border troops under Mo Yuanji's current command.

As for the other part, they did not agree with Kou Yi's decision and felt that doing so was to split the Great Zhou. Therefore, some generals of the Tianmen Army, including Han Qu, were only responsible for guarding the barbarians in the northern border, and ignored Mo Yuanji's orders at all.

The reason why the forces of the Great Zhou family dared to move is largely because the Tianmen Army was split. Otherwise, with the power of the Tianmen Army, those aristocratic families would not dare to move rashly.

It can be said that the current turbulent situation in the Great Zhou Dynasty is absolutely inseparable from Kou Yi, the commander of the Tianmen Army.

So Yang Yanzhang was this attitude after hearing that Du Yu was from the Shengong Camp of the Tianmen Army. After all, the Shengong Camp can be regarded as Kou Yi's confidant force. If it were not for the sake of Du Yu helping to defend the city, after hearing that Du Yu was from the Shengong Camp of the Tianmen Army, let alone giving him a cold face, it would not be an exaggeration to slash him with one knife.

Du Yu knew about these things, so he did not speak up except for a bitter smile.

However, Du Cang saw Yang Yanzhang's attitude and spoke up for Du Yu, saying, "General Yang, the Divine Bow Camp of the Tianmen Army is now in a semi-disbanded state, otherwise Du Yu would not have appeared in Cangyi City."

"Semi-dissolved state?"

It is also difficult for the patrol department of the Tianmen Army to penetrate, so Yang Yanzhang didn't know much about the Tianmen Army. At this time, he heard Du Cang say this, and he couldn't help but ask curiously: "What does Lord Du mean?"

"It's better for me."

Du Yu took the words and briefly told Yang Yanzhang about the matter.

When Kou Yi decided to hand over the Tianmen Army to Mo Yuanji, not only other generals of the Tianmen Army had their opinions, but even the confidant army like the Shengong Camp had quite a complaint.

After all, Kou Xing did not take the Tianmen Army to Mo Yuanji, but did not even have an explanation and directly handed over the command to Mo Yuanji.

Although Kou Xing's strength and status were not subject to any coercion, Kou Xing's confidants believed that there must be some reason, otherwise Kou Xing would not have retreated alone without giving any explanation to them.

Therefore, Kou Xing's confidants specially found Kou Xing's mansion and wanted to ask Kou Xing about the inside story.

As a result, when he arrived at Kou Xing's marquis' mansion, Kou Xing directly closed the door to thank the guests. He did not see any of his old subordinates.

It was obvious that the matter could be solved by just saying a word, but Kou Xing avoided it. Now Kou Xing's confidants felt that there was something inside of Kou Xing's handing over the Tianmen Army to Mo Yuanchang.

Now Kou Xing is behind closed doors to thank the guests, and obviously does not want to interfere in Mo Yuanji's taking over the Tianmen Army. His attitude is a bit vague, which makes Kou Xing's confidant feel that Mo Yuanji must have used some disgraceful means. Therefore, most of these confidant troops refuse to vote on Mo Yuanji.

However, Kou Xing's confidant army was not large, unlike other generals who could stand up to their own power with heavy troops. Therefore, after they refused to surrender to Mo Yuanji, although Mo Yuanji did not do anything to them in view of Kou Xing's face, he secretly interrupted their supplies and military pay.

These soldiers have no other income in the army, and they live on military pay. Now that the military pay is cut for three years, they can't live a life.

In this way, although some soldiers could not withstand the pressure and threw themselves into Mo Yuanji's command, more of them left the northern border directly.

"Mo Yuanji let you go so easily?"

After hearing Du Yu say that, Yang Yanzhang was a little surprised. After all, he was Kou Xing's confidant army. Whether it was these archers or the guards, they were all elites from a thousand miles away. How could Mo Yuanji let them go so easily?

"He has no choice."

Du Yu knew what Yang Yanzhang was thinking and explained: "Although Shuai Kou is not in charge, his prestige is still there. With Shuai Kou, it is already the limit for him to deduct our military pay and force us to surrender. If you do something else, Shuai Kou will never agree."

"And he was not very interested in bringing us under the camp."

Speaking of this, Du Yu smiled bitterly and said, "After all, we are Kuo Shuai's people. Although we don't know why Kuo Shuai gave him the Tianmen Army, judging from Kuo Shuai's attitude, Kuo Shuai does not fully support Mo Yuanji."

"In this case, how dare he accept us in full?"

"Oh, that's it."

Yang Yanzhang nodded thoughtfully. These people are different from those generals. They are all Kou Yi's confidants. Even if they are taken to their commands, they will give priority to Kou Yi's orders. But in this way, is this army his or Kou Yi's? So it is normal for Mo Yuanchang not to accept these people.

Moreover, because Kou Yi took the initiative to hand over the Tianmen Army to Mo Yuanji, the other generals of the Tianmen Army who were unwilling to surrender to Mo Yuanchang would not trust Kou Yi's confidants, and naturally they would not accept them. In this way, Mo Yuanji was not worried about being involved in the enemy, so it would be natural for him to let them go.

but……

When Yang Yanzhang thought of this, his heart suddenly moved slightly. No one dared to take over these confidants of Kou Yi!

How rare is the magic archer? If they are paired with the strange thing in the prince's hands and improve their strength, wouldn't they do whatever they want on the battlefield?

Moreover, the prince's strange thing also has the ability to restrain them. Even if they are really spies deliberately released by Kou Yi, if they dare to rebel, the prince can destroy them in an instant. The problem is not very big.

After thinking it through, Yang Yanzhang immediately changed into a smiley face. He politely said to Du Yu: "Sorry, I misunderstood just now, brother Du, don't take it to heart."

Du Yu's mind was not that complicated. He looked at Yang Yanzhang who changed his face so quickly. Although he felt a little strange in his heart, he didn't think much about it. Instead, he quickly replied: "General Yang is polite. After all, he was born in the Tianmen Army. It is normal for General Yang to have some misunderstandings."

Du Cang, who was standing aside, was very thoughtful. He looked at Yang Yanzhang, whose attitude changed so quickly, and showed a thoughtful look on his face. However, he felt that this should be a good thing, so he didn't say much, but said to Yang Yanzhang who was still greeting Du Yu: "General Yang, I have blocked the gate of Cangyi City. It is being cleaned up now. When the gate is cleaned up, you can let the army enter the city and rest."

When Ducang talked about the serious matter, Yang Yanzhang's expression became a little serious. He shook his head and said, "No need, King Yu's army is now defeated. If King Yu receives the news, he will definitely make some preparations. So I will attack Xiangcheng before King Yu receives the news and catch him off guard."

In fact, Yang Yanzhang was not afraid of what King Yu was preparing for in Xiangcheng. What he was afraid of was that King Yu ran away from Xiangcheng directly after receiving the news, which would be very troublesome.

Although he didn't care whether he could catch King Yu, King Yu must have accumulated a lot of wealth in Xiangcheng for generations. The upgrade of such strange things as Mo Zizai requires is these wealth, so King Yu can run away, but he can't take any of the money away!

Before leaving, Mo Zizai even specifically explained that if he could get enough money in Prince Yu's mansion, his cultivation speed might be doubled.

Double!!!

Yang Yanzhang felt a little difficult to control when he thought of this number. His current cultivation speed is already 200 times that of the original. If it doubles, wouldn’t it be 400 times?

What does 400 times mean? It’s more than a year for others. With this speed of cultivation, you can break through to the Golden Body Realm in less than a minute!

Therefore, even for the sake of his own cultivation speed, he could not let go of the money from Prince Yu's Mansion.

"Mr. Du, please let the city prepare and replenish our food. When the city gate opens, we will set off with the food and grass immediately."

"Is food and grass?"

Ducang pondered for a moment. With the current stock of grain and grass in Cangyicheng County, it was really difficult to supply the 5,000 army. Therefore, after hesitating for a while, he spoke to Yang Yanzhang and said, "General Yang, it is really difficult for Cangyicheng County to raise so much grain and grass in a short period of time."

"However, if General Yang is anxious, there is a way for the subordinates to do so."

"oh?"

Yang Yanzhang looked at Du Cang with some curiosity and asked, "I wonder what Lord Du is talking about?"

"It's true. As a thoroughfare of the two states, Cangyi City still has some big families in the city. It's not a problem for them to raise some food and grass."

Du Cang only said this, but he didn't say a single word of the extra word. He had already said the solution. As for whether Yang Yanzhang wanted to borrow or rob, he wouldn't care.

The disagreement of the big players guarding the city this time made Du Cang extremely annoyed. If Yang Yanzhang dared to take responsibility, even if he said he wanted to steal the big players, he would never have any questions.

"Oh, that's it."

Yang Yanzhang was also a person with a clear mind. He heard Ducang say this and immediately understood what Ducang meant, "Then the general will go to the city and ask them to borrow some food and grass."

As for when to repay the loan after the loan, Yang Yanzhang never considered this issue at all.

After all, Mo Zizai can see clearly how Yang Yanzhang from those aristocratic families in Nanjun. This time he fought in front of him, Mo Zizai will soon bring the remaining infantry of the Yuzhi Army and the 10,000 troops organized by Han Quxin to take over Pingzhou.
