Zhao Yanxun's army of fifteen guards was now divided into three groups and advancing together.
The troops stationed in Hanbei this time were the Central Army, namely the Third, Sixth and Seventh Guards.
The other first and second guards of the Middle Route Army were both cavalry. Zhao Yanxun did not allow them to enter the city, but temporarily stayed outside the city to guard against the imperial army west of the Han River.
As for the North and South Route armies, they are now stationed in villages and towns along the Han River. While waiting for Zhao Yanxun's next instructions, they are also preparing the equipment needed to cross the river.
To cross the river, you must first build a boat. Even making the simplest bamboo raft will take a lot of effort in a place full of zombies.
At this moment, Zhao Yanxun was stationed outside the east city of Han Dynasty, looking at the situation west of the Han River.
The Han River is a large river, and Zhao Yanxun's visual inspection shows that it is at least three hundred meters wide. With his eyesight that is beyond ordinary people's, he can also see the troops patrolling the opposite bank of the river.
While Zhao Yanxun was thinking, Hu Dabiao's voice came to his ears: "Your Majesty, all the guards have entered the city. Wu Jianqing and Chen Yuhe have sent people to ask for instructions when to enter the city!"
"Send an order to them and ask them to find a place to station along the Han River without entering the city!"
"yes!"
Although there are many zombies, as long as you find some villages and build fortifications, the zombies will not cause any trouble.
The cavalry was stationed in the city, but their hands and feet were tied.
Hu Dabiao turned around to send a message to the scouts, but saw Zhang Meng rushing over with a group of people.
Among the team were the three vassal kings headed by Zhao Yanyuan, as well as surrendered officers such as Wang Lifeng.
They originally greeted Zhao Yanxun at the city gate, but the latter did not enter the city at all, but crossed the city and came to the river bank.
As the distance got closer, Zhao Yanyuan and his party saw Zhao Yanxun's back.
At this moment, ten feet away from Zhao Yanxun were the palace guards holding knives to look at the zombies.
They were all well-equipped and could easily kill zombies, creating a safe zone for Zhao Yanxun who was standing on the river bank.
"If I had such ferocious men under my command, there would be no danger of life and death!" Zhao Yanyuan said secretly in his heart.
He rushed to Longyou to join the feudal clan alone. When the zombies came and the world was in chaos, Zhao Yanyuan really couldn't imagine how his ninth brother could create such a legacy.
Not only him, but everyone else who came with him also had such doubts at this moment.
Surrounded by zombies, even if the capital was well prepared, the imperial army was almost unable to withstand it, and the country was in danger of overthrowing.
How could Longyou be preserved? And it could raise hundreds of thousands of troops to march eastward? Just because it was led by Zhao Yanxun?
This thing seems to be very outrageous, almost as outrageous as Zhao Weilong being a traitor.
Of course, I learned too many outrageous things today, and those who came here were all numb.
Finally, their group stopped outside the isolation circle.
Zhang Meng turned around and said: "You guys just wait here, I will go and report!"
After saying this, without waiting for anyone present to ask any more questions, Zhang Meng turned around and rushed in the direction of Zhao Yanxun.
From a distance, I saw Zhang Meng saying a few words to Zhao Yanxun, and then running over quickly.
"Three princes, our princes want to see you, please come with me!"
In the last sentence, Zhang Meng used the word "please", and he no longer looked so cold.
The three people he selected glanced at each other, and then followed Zhang Meng into the "safe zone".
As they got closer, Zhao Yanyuan, who was walking in front, felt uneasy, while Zhao Weiheng simply followed behind.
Although they have been brothers since they were young, but now that times have changed and the status gap between the brothers is huge, how can Zhao Yanyuan and Zhao Yanyuan be as casual as they were back then.
Looking at the figures getting closer and closer, when Zhao Yanyuan and the two were thinking about how to talk for a while, Zhao Yanxun in front of them slowly turned around.
"Tenth brother, eleventh brother...Long time no see!"
The young man in front is smiling, just like the scene when we were joking together in the past.
The words "Long time no see" directly brought Zhao Yanyuan and the two back to their memories. It seemed that none of those people and things had changed.
After a long separation, Zhao Yanyuan and Zhao Yanyuan had a lot to talk about.
"Brother Ninth...Long time no see!"
In the end, thousands of words were reduced to this sentence.
With a warm smile, Zhao Yanxun stepped forward and walked in front of Zhao Yanyuan.
As Zhao Yanxun approached, Zhao Yanyuan and Zhao Yanyuan, who had "calmed down", could feel Zhao Yanxun's strong aura and the strong confidence in his warm smile.
For a moment, it was difficult for the two of them to combine the person in front of them with the image in their memory.
Patting the two brothers on the shoulders, Zhao Yanxun said: "This year... you have suffered a lot!"
This year, Zhao Yanyuan and the others have indeed suffered a lot. Some time ago, they could not even guarantee that they would be able to see the sun tomorrow.
Just as Zhao Yanxun was about to continue, he heard Zhao Yansong say: "Brother Ninth...Zhao Weilong killed the king, killed his father, stole the country and brought chaos to the government. You must not let him go!"
Zhao Yanyuan on the side also spoke up: "That's right, Zhao Weilong favored traitors, acted against the will, and killed the clan... You have to make the decision for us!"
Good guy, these two people immediately stunned Zhao Yanxun with one sentence.
Originally, he was still thinking about how to get his two brothers to support him to strengthen the legitimacy of his rebellion.
Zhao Yanxun never expected that his two brothers would be so wise and say such things directly.
It seems that with time, not only himself, but also the brothers who used to follow behind him have changed... Zhao Yanxun secretly thought in his heart.
Immediately afterwards, Zhao Yanyuan said with a cry in his voice: "Brother Ninth, Third Brother, Sixth Brother, Seventh Brother and Eighth Brother were all forcibly moved to Guangyang County by Zhao Weilong. Now their life and death are unpredictable!"
In order to stabilize his throne, Zhao Weilong dumped all his living uncles into a place where zombies were infested.
And his reason was very good. Taizu established the ancestral system of feudal kings in order to allow the vassal kings to protect the court.
Now that the country is in trouble, all vassal kings should act as a shield and go to the places where the court needs them most.
There is no doubt that Zhao Weilong offended many clans, and even the distant clans who were not affected must be very unhappy with him.
In this way, the banner raised by Zhao Yanxun will receive great support within the clan.
While Zhao Yanxun was thinking, he heard Zhao Yansong continue: "Brother Ninth, the twelfth brother who joined us as a feudal lord was bitten to death by a monster a month ago. He was killed by Zhao Weilong!"
Of course the Twelve Emperors Zhao Yanxiao and Zhao Yanxun had an impression of them, and they often followed their predecessors in their mischief back then.
Immediately afterwards, Zhao Yansong turned around and said to Zhao Weiheng behind him: "Eldest nephew, why don't you speak? If you have something on your mind, you have to tell your uncle Ninth and let him make the decision for you!!"
Zhao Yanyuan also said: "That's right, your Ninth Uncle is just like us, what can't you let go of?"
Seeing the two people talking to each other, Zhao Yanxun couldn't help but sigh. Not only have these two brothers changed, but they have also changed a lot in the past two years.
Zhao Weiheng was heartbroken and simply knelt on the ground, kowtowed and said: "Uncle Jiu, Zhao Weilong has brutalized his uncles and sisters, please ask Uncle Jiu to make the decision for his nephew and for the people of the world!"
Although he is a nephew, Zhao Weiheng is only three years younger than Zhao Yanxun, and is now sixteen years old.
Although Zhao Weilong was his eldest brother, Zhao Weiheng only had hatred in his heart for this brother who wanted to kill him.
Therefore, even if Zhao Yanxun rebelled, he would support the ninth uncle and fight back to the capital to push Zhao Weilong off the throne.
The brothers and nephew had finished talking, and Zhao Yanxun had nothing more to say.
He immediately stepped forward to help Zhao Weiheng up and said to the three people in front of him: "From now on, you don't have to worry anymore!"
"Zhao Weilong is an unfaithful, unfilial, and unkind bastard. I will destroy him for God!"
