If they continue to grow and develop, will these two gangs become more and more powerful, and eventually form a force that cannot be lost? Of course, the important thing is, to create these armed forces in the imperial capital, what will Tang Ao do? What?
Overthrow yourself?
Threaten yourself?
Or is it just self-protection?
If he can't save Tang Ao this time and instead orders his execution, I'm afraid these people will definitely take action. In that case, I'm afraid there will be civil strife in Daliang City. That's thousands of armed forces. What will happen once they launch a surprise attack and the officers and soldiers are not adequately prepared?
The more he thought about it, the more frightened he became. Emperor Qianwen was overjoyed at this moment, and was even more determined that sending Tang Ao to the fief was the right decision. Now that Tang Ao has left Daliang City, he will have to deal with the headache for someone else. Alright.
Isn't King Zhong always rebellious? This time he sent Tang Ao to Jizhou and put him under his nose. There must be a fight between dragons and tigers. He wanted to see who would win in the end. No matter what the result was, he would Become a winner by watching the fight between tigers and tigers.
If Tang Ao failed and was killed, he could just use this opportunity to send troops to the injured King Zhong. In this way, Liao and Kyrgyzstan would be easily recovered. Naturally, they would become places under the direct control of Daliang City.
As for the loss of his son Tang Ao because of this, Emperor Qianwen might be sad. But if it can be used to stabilize his empire, it is just a son, and if he dies, he will die, so it is nothing. In this way, even Aoxue It’s also difficult to settle accounts with yourself.
"Let's make a fuss, the bigger the fuss, the better." Emperor Qianwen's mouth showed a smile involuntarily, it was a smile that said everything was under control. Maybe there will be actions against Tang Ao in the future, but so what What? If Tang Ao died so easily, he would not be worthy of being his son.
It can be said that for the sake of the emperor's power, Emperor Qianwen really went to the extent of disowning all his relatives. It is no wonder that Aoxue did not follow him back to the palace at the beginning, otherwise he would definitely become a victim of politics.
...
Tang Ao didn't know what the emperor was thinking. More than ten days had passed since the last attack by bandits, and now his team had passed through Liaozhou and arrived at Jizhou.
Originally, he could go directly to Ningcheng, the capital of Liaozhou, by following the official route. But Tang Ao took the initiative to change the direction. Perhaps he also knew that he was not favored by King Zhong. Even so, It's better not to see him.
After bypassing Ningcheng, Tang Ao finally entered the land of Jizhou. As the king here, it is impossible for the officers and soldiers of Jizhou not to know about his arrival. According to the rules, they should send someone to greet him.
However, it has been more than a day since we entered the land of Jizhou, but we haven't seen even half a person. This is enough to illustrate the attitude of the Jizhou army.
"Are you hiding? Or are you hiding somewhere and trying to plot against yourself?" Tang Ao, who had already stepped out of the carriage and was riding a horse, had a disdainful smile on his lips. Originally, he was still thinking about whether he had just arrived in Jizhou. Instead of observing it first, he was considering rectifying the local army. But now it seems that he doesn't need to think so much. Since others don't give him face, why should he give face to others?
Phew!
In the sky, a flying shadow fell quickly and landed on Tang Ao's shoulder. The sharp claws scratched Tang Ao's coat in an instant. If there wasn't a layer of iron armor inside, I am afraid that this scratch would have caused Tang Ao to suffer.
Blood splashes. (Thanks to l_ Shi Rui for the reminder, Hai Dongqing's claws are very sharp, and the physical body cannot withstand the power and speed of its fall.)
Although he was prepared, his coat was still torn. Tang Ao could only roll his eyes helplessly. He had reminded Xiaobai of this kind of thing more than once, but it seemed to like this tone, or to show his respect for Tang Ao.
This master's closeness would still fall on his shoulders involuntarily every time.
"What's wrong? Have you discovered something again?" Tang Ao saw Xiaobai flying towards him and guessed that something must have happened.
Chirp, chirp, chirp...
Xiaobai kept shouting loudly, and when Tang Ao heard it, his face quickly darkened. "Okay, continue to observe, and report if there are any abnormalities." Tang Ao waved Xiaobai away.
, said to Shi Lei who was following him: "Go and gather everyone."
What Xiaobai reported was exactly the enemy's situation. As far as he was concerned, behind a hillside outside the official road in front, there were about two thousand cavalry sharpening their swords. It seemed that they were coming for him. More importantly, between these two
After the thousand cavalry, there were five hundred officers and soldiers staring at them from a distance.
Two thousand cavalry. Tang Ao was a little surprised by this strength. Judging from the information he had obtained before, the entire Jizhou Army only had a cavalry team of 500 people. But now, not far away there was
Being able to gather two thousand cavalry to attack oneself, doesn't this mean that these secret forces are more powerful than the official army?
From this point of view, I am afraid that if someone really wants to take advantage of the Jizhou Army, maybe this place will soon change hands.
Thinking that what he was about to take over would be such a mess, Tang Ao couldn't help but sigh. He would not believe that there were so many cavalry on the border of Jizhou, and that the scouts of the Jizhou Army would not be able to find them, but so far they still can't find it.
No one informed me, which explains everything.
Some people were very unwelcome to his arrival. And King Zhong, was he determined to put himself to death?
If the previous attack of five thousand mountain bandits did not allow Tang Ao to be sure whether there was a loyal king here, but two thousand cavalry could appear here, especially there were five hundred cavalry following these cavalry, then Tang Ao
If the guess is correct, the five hundred cavalry behind must have been sent by King Zhong to supervise the army.
"Do you really want to kill yourself that much? Doesn't King Zhong know that once something happens to him, the emperor will definitely use it to make trouble, and the situation of King Zhong will not be much better?" Tang Ao thought in his mind
While thinking about this, Feng Xun, Feng Wanli, Sun Fuhu and others also rode in front of him.
"We are all here, do you still remember how we trained infantry to fight cavalry? Now there is a good opportunity for actual combat in front of you. I hope you can all cheer up." His eyes swept over several people.
, Tang Ao's eyes revealed a strong glow of confidence.
...
Behind the hills twenty miles away, two thousand cavalrymen were sharpening their swords. One of them, a tall man with a height of 1.9 meters and a weight of about 200 kilograms, was resting under a big tree. His eyelids twitched from time to time.
Shaking, it seemed to indicate to others that he was not sleeping now, but was thinking about something on his mind.
"Here comes the boss, the target is here." Another big man about 1.8 meters tall jumped off his horse and trotted to the big tree, saying excitedly.
The name of the visitor was Tugou. Although the name was inconspicuous and even vulgar, he was born with a particularly sensitive sense of smell. Thanks to this, he became the scout general of this group of bandits.
The person resting against the tree was none other than Xing Si, the leader of this group of bandits, and the person who had been found by King Zhong to attack Tang Ao this time.
"Oh! Are you here?" Xing Si opened his eyes, glinting, looked at the native dog and asked, "Have they discovered us?"
"No. Humph! After observing for a long time, I found that they were not alert at all. They didn't even send out ordinary scouts. With such alertness, they deserved to become our prey. By the way, they are the boss, they own everything
But there are many, with countless carriages and tens of thousands of horses, this is definitely a fat sheep." The native dog said in a disdainful voice at first, but when he said the next part, his laughter almost leaked out.
.
"Hello, fat sheep. The fat sheep has just been slaughtered. Come, tell the brothers, eat some dry food and drink some water, and prepare to mount the horse and attack."
, I am afraid that the other party has too few good things. In that case, if he takes so many brothers to take action, he will not get enough benefits in the end, wouldn't it be disappointing?
Xingsi and others began to prepare for the attack. In their eyes, King Ji's team was not alert at all. From this, it can be seen that the cavalry following the team were probably just tricks. Once they launched
If they don't charge, I'm afraid those people won't have the courage to join the enemy, so they will scatter in all directions.
How did they know that there were hundreds of birds in the sky, and all the movements on the ground could not escape the eyes of King Zhong. They had already been exposed. Not only that, even the five hundred officers and cavalry who were following them were all caught by Ji.
The king discovered it, but Xing Si didn't know anything about it.
It can be said that where Tang Ao is, it is impossible for any army to ambush him. It is just that they are ambushed by others.
About half an hour later, the scouts from the front came to report that King Ji's team was less than ten miles away from the hill. Xing Si then hung the water bag on the horse, and then said to the two thousand brothers following: "Let's go."
Now, let’s catch the fat sheep.”
He thought he was full of confidence, but since Tang Ao was well prepared, it was still unclear who the fat sheep was.
"Hurry, the enemy will be here soon. Check carefully again. The barbed wire must be pulled open after a while, but there can't be any problems." Geng Liang was directing the security members to keep busy.
Currently, Tang Ao's men mainly consist of five groups: 500 Shanshan guards, 2,000 security guards, 2,000 Sifang followers, 2,000 disciples of the Guiyi sect, and 500 barbarian female cavalry.
The leader of the female cavalry is the Great Barbarian Princess Oyadan, the leader of the Sifang Sect is Feng Wanli, the leader of the Guiyi Sect is Sun Fuhu, the leader of the Shanshan Guard is Feng Xun, and the leader of the security brigade is Geng Liang.
Among them, there are 5,000 cavalrymen and less infantrymen, only 2,000 security members. But even for these security members, Tang Ao put in no less effort than the cavalrymen.
