The first thousand and six hundred and ninety-four chapters are fighting in North Chenzhou
In Beichen Prefecture, Tang Zhen was sitting in the meeting hall of the prefecture, looking at the map and frowning in thought.
In front of him, there were more than thirty strong men in armor sitting, as well as scholars dressed as scribes and Confucian scholars.
These people were all his team members who either spent a lot of money, showed great righteousness, or suppressed and threatened them, and won them over in a very short period of time.
Tang Zhen alone cannot control an army, and auxiliary personnel are indispensable.
Although it was difficult to guarantee the loyalty of these subordinates, Tang Zhen didn't care at all. His purpose was just to enter the imperial city and kill the emperor at the same time.
It can be said that the command level of this team is an interest group, and they can only be united by relying on the huge amount of gold coins, the attractive prospects of the future, and the military deterrence of Tang Zhen and Tietou.
After the matter is completed, whether these people set up separate mountains or fight openly and secretly, they have nothing to do with Tang Zhen.
However, it was precisely because of the abundant gold coins that the morale of this legion was extremely high. Even if there were trophies, Tang Zhen would not take any of them and distributed them all to his subordinates.
The combination of kindness and power made this army full of wolfishness. The best proof is that they captured the state capital in half an hour.
Now the whole army is full of momentum, and it only needs a little repair to be ready for the expedition.
But Tang Zhen was not in a hurry. What he had to do next was to continue to grow his power and deploy his next plan.
After all, his opponent was an empire, not a state capital.
After thinking for a moment, Tang Zhen looked up at the people around him and gave the order.
"Choose the right people, lobby those forces that are dissatisfied with the current emperor, and ask them to find ways to raise troops to support you. As long as the other party keeps their promise, money is not an issue.
At the same time, I will continue to recruit more troops. I will have at least 100,000 troops in ten days, and more than 150,000 troops in half a month!
In addition, people were sent to spread the news, saying that the emperor was fatuous and had been assassinated one after another. The wider the spread, the better. Don't be afraid to spend money!
People should also be sent near the imperial capital to try their best to purchase grain and block freight channels. Whether the grain is transported away or destroyed, it cannot flow into the imperial capital."
Listening to the tasks assigned by Tang Zhen, everyone kept them in mind and thought about suitable candidates for the tasks.
Tang Zhen was rich and powerful, and those who performed dangerous tasks were generously rewarded, and there was never a shortage of available manpower.
While they were thinking secretly, everyone was also full of curiosity about the young man in front of them who had unknown origins but had countless money.
The richest person in the world, the courage and courage of others, such a person is the best, why was he unknown before?
As for the bald man standing behind him, everyone was a little wary. The opponent's force value was actually too high, and everyone in the room was probably no match for him if they went into battle together.
"I have already stated my requirements, do you have anything to add?"
After Tang Zhen finished speaking, he glanced at everyone and asked in a calm tone.
"No problem!"
Everyone answered at the same time, with the same tone, while they were thinking about what the empire would look like after these plans were implemented.
It won't be a collapse, but it will have a huge negative impact and cause trouble for them.
"It's okay if you don't have any. Let's go get busy."
Tang Zhen waved his hand, and everyone quickly bowed and left.
"Tietou, has the news from the Imperial City arrived?"
Tang Zhen sat on the chair and asked Tietou standing next to him.
"I just received news that in recent times, the defense of the imperial city has been strengthened several times, and assassinations have occurred in the palace from time to time, but no one has succeeded."
Tang Zhen nodded. This was also expected. Wheel of Fortune could not create an easy task, otherwise the trial would be meaningless.
"Master, when will we attack the imperial city?"
Since he decided to follow Tang Zhen, Tietou changed his mind and called Tang Zhen his master, and Tang Zhen did not refuse.
"Don't be anxious. Let the other trialists continue to consume. We will develop slowly. As long as the right opportunity comes, we will win easily."
When Tang Zhen said this, his face was full of confidence.
He has more than just this method. With enough gold coins, he can not only recruit enough people, but also do tricks in the enemy's camp.
It's just that those secret methods have not yet been revealed and will only be used at the most critical moment.
After hearing Tang Zhen's answer, Tietou didn't say anything. He just needed to do his own thing well.
Just after Tang Zhen captured Beichen Prefecture, it immediately caused a shock throughout the empire. Although Beichen Prefecture was a remote place, this was the first time that the state capital was dedicated.
Some time ago, rebels attacked the city and were wiped out by the imperial cavalry. Unexpectedly, not long after that, Beichen Prefecture completely fell.
The emperor was furious and ordered nearby state capitals to assemble heavy troops to destroy the rebel army.
Beichen Prefecture, which few people paid attention to for a while, attracted the attention of the entire empire. Everyone wanted to know, will the empire win, or will these rebels become a force?
After the surrounding state capitals received the order, no one dared to neglect, and they quickly mobilized their troops and generals to prepare to clear out the rebels in Beichen Prefecture.
However, the mobilization of large armies is no child's play. It will take three to five days at the earliest to complete the assembly. Plus the journey to Beichen Prefecture, it will take at least ten days and a half to engage in battle.
While people were waiting anxiously, for some unknown reason, banditry broke out in the nearby state capital of Beichen Prefecture, and rebels were everywhere.
The officials of the state government who were originally preparing to send troops to Beichen Prefecture were already in dire straits. They could only assemble their troops again to clear out the rebellion in the state capital, and at the same time, they could not delay the affairs of Beichen Prefecture.
One wave after another, with the emergence of turmoil in several major state capitals, satirical remarks about the current emperor began to spread, enumerating his crimes, and the words were fierce and vicious.
Coupled with the emergence of rebels one after another, these remarks spread quickly, and more and more ordinary people privately criticized the emperor.
The major state capitals tried to arrest those who spread the message, but with little success.
Just when the entire empire was panicking, some people had begun to notice that the price of food near the imperial capital was slowly rising, and sometimes there was a shortage.
However, compared to the upcoming Beichenzhou war, not many people paid attention to this matter.
As time goes by, the armies from the nearby state capitals of Beichen Prefecture have arrived at their destinations one after another, and a battle that attracts worldwide attention is about to begin outside Beichen Prefecture.
The imperial dignitaries who paid attention to this battle believed that it was only a matter of time before the rebels were wiped out. After all, the imperial army had the advantage in terms of numbers and equipment.
Although the rebels were large in number, they were a mob after all, so how could they be the opponents of the Imperial Regiment.
The generals of several major state capitals also thought so, but when the real battle began, everyone was dumbfounded.
The Beichen Prefecture rebels actually used a large number of artillery and trebuchets, which not only fired explosive grenades, but also fired poison gas bombs. They also used wooden kites fired with gunpowder, which flew to high altitudes, exploded and then sprinkled poisonous powder.
The unprepared coalition forces in the state capital suffered heavy losses, with countless casualties and wailings throughout the military camp.
Just when the forward suffered a disastrous defeat, another cavalry attack came from the flank, each one killing them like wolves and tigers, catching the allied forces of the state capital by surprise.
However, this was just the beginning of the nightmare. It didn't take long for these state capital coalition forces to be surrounded and killed by local people.
Stimulated by the reward of a gold coin for a soldier's head, all these people became red-eyed. Even the old woman held a pair of scissors and stared at the officers and soldiers of the state capital like a wolf. 2k Reading Network
