Chapter 567 Dilemma
In early March of the first year of Guining, the prince Yingdan issued an edict in Yanmen, denounced the eunuchs of the inner court, the Yao family and the Longxiang army colluded with the cult remnants of the evil Taoist Zen Temple, and harmed the emperor, threatened the emperor's son to steal the power of the Great Yan Emperor and harm the people of the world. He bravely led 300,000 elite Tiger Ben Army troops to go south to Songdu Ridge and enter Lichuan County, and invited heroes and heroes from the world to attack the traitor and rebel together, and restore the rule of the Great Yan Emperor.
In the manifesto, the prince Yingdan all counted dozens of crimes that must be punished by the eunuch party, Yao clan and Longxiang rebels. In addition to the four men of Wei Ziya, Chen Hai, Huang Qiwei, Yao Chuyun, Huang Peiyi, Yao Zhi, Zhao Zhong, Yu Zonghu, Bi Lan, Gao Wang, Huang Shuang, Le Yi, Zhao Ruhui, etc., all of them were on the list of the list of slander officials to punish the slander officials. Those who saw them could be killed, and the rewards were rare in history. Especially the heads of Wei Ziya, Chen Hai, Huang Qiwei, and Yao Chuyun could be directly exchanged for the rewards of the township marquis and tens of thousands of households.
In the entire March of the first year of Guining, Hexi continued to send more troops to Wolong City, and its strength increased to more than 400,000. While continuing to strengthen military pressure on Yandangyuan, the oppression of Tianshui County was not relaxed at all. It even encouraged Tianshui County to get close to Dong's clans in Gangu, Tongwei and other places to rise up in Gangu, Tongwei and other places, in order to create great chaos in the hinterland of Tianshui County.
Huayang Sect was supported by Chen Hai for many years, but it was no longer the same as before. In just three days, Wu Cheng, the commander of Tianshui County, personally led 100,000 county soldiers to suppress the rebellion of the clan in Tongwei Prefecture in the western wing of Huayang Prefecture, killed more than 3,000 evil men, and captured more than 30,000 followers.
After suppressing the rebellion in Tongwei Prefecture, Wu Cheng immediately expropriated the mountains, forests, lakes and cultivated land occupied by the rebel clans before the rebellion clans, and used them to reward soldiers who fought bravely and those clans and poor families who joined the Tianshui County soldiers with their troops to expand the scale of the Tianshui County soldiers.
This can also be regarded as a small-scale implementation of land acquisition and ban in Tianshui County.
Before this, the soldiers of Tianshui County had maintained a force of about 300,000. They also joined forces with the Musashi Army of Qinchuan County. They used the large amount of Tianji war equipment sold by the Longxiang Army to barely resist the pressure of the eastward advance of the Hexi. However, after implementing the policy of expropriating and expropriating the land and secular affairs, those disciples of Huayang Sect who had no intention of secular affairs and were determined to practice to seek a higher level of cultivation, as well as the raiders and brave men who were suffering from the people gathered in Tongwei Prefecture and demanded to join the county soldiers in exchange for the reward of expropriating the land.
By late March alone, Huayang Sect added 100,000 new troops in Tongwei Prefecture, expanding the county troops to more than 400,000.
However, this incident caused a stir in Tianshui County and within Huayang Sect.
The rebellion was eliminated, the land expropriation and feudalization, and the subsequent expansion of troops were all promoted by Wu En and Wu Cheng in Tongwei Prefecture. However, by the end of March, Qu Xiyuan, the maid of Tianshui County, could no longer hold back. He rushed to Tongwei Prefecture to meet Wu En and Wu Cheng, surrounded by more than a thousand guards.
At this time, Tianshui County was the most powerful of the Wu and Qu tribes. Wu En was in charge of religious affairs in Huayang, Wu Cheng served as the county military commander and the military power. Qu Xiyuan served as the county maid, nominally the supreme ruler of Tianshui County.
When he arrived at Tongwei Prefecture City, Qu Xiyuan walked into Wu Cheng with a dark face. Wu En's temporary residence here, dispersed the idle people, and questioned Wu Cheng and Wu En without hesitation:
"The Huang family's mountain and hatred are gone, and there is nothing to lose. The Yao family plans to become a royal family. Liao Yunya, Zhao Ruhui, Ji Yuanren and others are all from poor families. They follow Chen Hai and make trouble. But your Wu family is in Tianshui County and is in equal measure. There are nearly 20 million acres of mountains, forests, lakes and lakes in the clan. Could it be that they have to be distributed to the children of the sect and finally dismembered the Wu family?"
Seeing Qu Xiyuan specifically rushed to Tongwei Prefecture to raise an army to question the crime, Wu Cheng and Wu En glanced at each other, silently not knowing how to respond to Qu Xiyuan's doubts.
When Qu Xiyuan saw Wu Cheng, Wu En remained silent. He thought that they were sore, so he slowed down his tone and persuaded with painstaking efforts: "Yes, Hexi was moving forward so quickly. We had to join forces with Longxiang Army to fight against the powerful vassals. However, the times changed. At this time, the prince Yingdan had raised the banner of rebellion in Yanmen County. The six and nine vassals and the sects of the county were all ringing. The troops and horses gathered in Lichuan like flowing water. At that time, it would be no wonder that tens of millions of elite soldiers would be gathered," said Qu Xiyuan, although there was a magic circle barrier in the hall, and outsiders could overhear the conversation inside, Qu Xiyuan subconsciously lowered his voice, "Chen Hai occupied a small land and tried to challenge the world. Wu En, Wu Cheng, you are all talented people who know the times. Do you really have the ambition to live and die with Chen Hai?"
Wu En stared at Qu Xiyuan's pupils and asked, "What should Brother Qu sees?"
Qu Xiyuan didn't know the relationship between Wu and the Longxiang Army. How close is it? Some words will cause a killing disaster immediately. But some words must be said today, and he said in a voice: "At this time, the Longxiang Army is in a strong position at the wings of Qintong Mountain. We cannot resist his ambitions. But if Hexi and Liangyong send troops to capture Yandangyuan, I think Huayang Sect should also change with the trend..."
Wu Cheng sighed slightly and said, "Since Brother Qu is all about this, we two brothers will not hide it from each other. Huayang Sect should change with the flow, but I want to ask Brother Qu, is the stronger the Tianshui County troops before that, and the more qualified they will change with the flow in the future and not be deceived?"
"..." Qu Xiyuan was stunned. Unexpectedly, Wu Cheng and Wu En had already coincided with him, but asked in confusion, "But why do you have to carry out a policy of banning the Tongwei?"
Wu Cheng said with a bright look: "Sometimes we have to admit that Chen Hai's strategy of expropriating and expropriation of land is indeed wonderful. We have only been in Tongwei Prefecture for more than ten days, and the effect is extremely impressive. But we also understand Brother Qu's concerns. I would like to ask Brother Qu, after the Longxiang Army is destroyed, the strategy of expropriating and expropriation of land will be abolished at any time. Then, what can we do if we use the land of the Rebellion Sect to exchange for 100,000 elite soldiers?"
"..." Qu Xiyuan didn't expect that Wu Cheng and the Wu En brothers had such a plan...
*********************
After Yu Zonghu's troops withdrew from Yanjing City, the inner court's guards were actually suppressed at Yanjing City and Wusheng Pass and could not move. The Jingji Plain seemed to have not felt the cruelty of the war and had returned to peace.
But countless people knew in their hearts that there would be a battle between the Longxiang Army and the Suwei Army, and it would come at any time.
The Shenling Mountain Academy and the Eight University Halls were all stationed in the Longxiang Army at this time.
The Suwei Army recruited the children and escorts of the clans who were stranded in Yanjing, and their troops expanded to 600,000. The Longxiang Army used the strategy of enfeoffment and the troops also expanded to 600,000. Chen Hai even transferred the Tiangang Thunder Prison Remnant Formation and the Baji Dragon Locking Formation outside Yanjing City, and together with the Tiangang Thunder Prison Formation deployed on Shenling Mountain, they suppressed the Qianyuan Xuanji Formation, which ranked first in the defense of the Tiangang Thunder Prison Formation in Yanjing City at close range.
Although the new generals and soldiers were full of enthusiasm, and were very skilled in martial arts and martial arts. There were many rangers, swordsmen, and Wutong, and even a large number of Black Yan Army and the remnants of the Red Eyebrow Cult invited by Huang Shuang, Le Yi, Yan Yuan and others, they gathered from all directions, but they lacked training and were unable to form an army in a hurry.
Chen Hai drew tens of thousands of elite backbones from Yandangyuan to train new soldiers and expanded the third and fourth town divisions of the Longxiang Army to 300,000 (of course, this also weakened the combat power of the Yandangyuan defenders a lot).
Under Chen Hai's persuasion, or with the future royal family's estimation, the Yao family will also take out tens of millions of acres of forests and lakes on both wings of Yuting Mountain and seven Lingquan Caves to enfeoff soldiers. The generals of the first and second town divisions of the Guining Army also expanded rapidly to 400,000.
Although a considerable number of sects and poor families all joined the army with their soldiers and armor, they still lacked a large number of soldiers. Fortunately, in the past two months, the Tianji Academy has sent more than 70 light and heavy Tianji combat vehicles, 300 heavy crossbows, and nearly 4 million gold-tempered heavy front bombs into the army, making the Longxiang Army and Gui Ning Army gathered in the capital plains enough to suppress the Suwei Army in Yanjing City.
At this time, in addition to leaving 200,000 troops to guard Fujiaoling, Yuting City, and Qintong East Pass, Chen Hai built a large camp on the eastern wing of Shenling Mountain, the southern wing of Hegui Lake, and the eastern wing of Wangxian Cliff, each of which was built to siege Yanjing City, but a gap outside the northern wing of the city was left and not completely encircled to death.
Some generals below were confused about this. Chen Hai explained that the way to use troops is to surround the troops is to leave a gap, so that the enemy generals can sway between running away and fighting to the death, and at the same time, it can also weaken the fighting spirit of the enemy generals and soldiers.
Although the Longxiang army was in the capital plains for a moment, killing the Suwei Army and capturing Yanjing City was just around the corner, the situation outside the capital was no longer at ease.
In Kuilang Palace, Chen Hai lifted up the golden paint and silver hair, and wrote at his desk and quickly. At this moment, a ring of hairpins came from outside the door, and Yang Qiaoer walked in gracefully.
Chen Haitou asked without raising his head, "It's time, what's the point of not resting?"
Yang Qiaoer looked at Chen Hai's appearance and felt a fever in her heart.
Although she had already become a good thing with Chen Hai, the overall situation was not decided and she dared not show off her skills to outsiders. Therefore, the two of them often had less than a hundred steps apart in the past few months, but there were very few opportunities to get close to each other. Today, she was really in a state of peace, so she boldly broke into the Kuilang Palace where Chen Hai handled military and political affairs.
The night was as cold as water, and Yang Qiaoer hesitated for a while and couldn't help asking: "Although the situation in the capital of the capital is under the control of Chen Hou, the nine feudal forces are in great force after all, and the prince Yingdan takes advantage of the situation and invites the heroes to conquer the capital of the capital. What countermeasures does Chen Hou have?"
Hearing Yang Qiaoer's tone a little nervous, Chen Hai smiled and said, "It's just that the soldiers come to block the water and soil. Although the nine-family coalition forces seem to be extremely powerful, they all have their own ulterior motives. If they were united, the so-called Nine-Father Alliance would not be easily defeated by me in Liquan. You may be worried that the Iron Wolf Army and Hexi may threaten the foundation of our Longxiang Army from the northwest. However, in recent years, I have built cities on the front line of Yuchengling to prevent the invasion of the demon barbarians and cast iron and stone. How could they capture it so easily? In addition, although the southern counties intend to join forces to fight the north, it is rainy in the south, and roads and bridges are difficult to pass, which is not conducive to the passage of the army. When they gather enough troops and dare to attack Qinglongyu, they may have to wait until June? The situation is not as urgent as the fire is burning..."
Chen Hai knew that the generals in the army also had deep doubts, so he did not block the main hall of Kuilang Palace when he said this.
The moonlight shone like water from outside the hall and fell on Chen Hai. Seeing Chen Hai's confidence again, he became a little confused for a moment. But he also knew that her words and actions with Chen Hai were all attracted by others, so he asked again: "Half Chen is sure to defeat the Guards and expel the eunuchs before June?"
"Where do you have to wait until June? Maybe you will see the final answer in these days." Chen Hai smiled slightly. After saying these words, he reached out to release a mysterious light, blocked the hall, and stared at Yang Qiaoer's beautiful face with bright eyes.
Yang Qiaoer saw the heat in Chen Hai's pupils, but she was also passionate about love. When she made Chen Hai stare at her, she felt her legs become moist. She wondered if she was scolding Chen Hai coquettishly, and waited for Chen Hai to pounce on her and tear her skirt to pieces. Thinking about this in her heart, her soul felt like it was about to fly.
However, just as Chen Hai reached out to Yang Qiaoer's arms and grabbed the trembling and tender pigeon that could squeeze out water into his hands to play with, a woman in white fell from the sky, with her crystal clear jade feet standing in front of the hall, leaning into her head and looking in, and said with a smile: "I said, why do you only know the imperial concubine, don't recognize the Marquis of Guining? It turns out that you still have this happen. I won't blame me for coming over to disturb you for your good things, right?"
Seeing that Ning Chan'er had left Yaoshan for almost a year and had no news, she appeared again, Chen Li took his hand from Yang Qiaoer's arms and said, "I thought you were going to be greedy for my three Daoyun Tiandan Pills. Calculate the time, you should have appeared."
