The huge torrent raged for more than an hour before calming down. The water flow that had accumulated over three days was finally shining. But the river here also became wider than before.
"My goodness! This is too amazing! Twenty thousand Shenwu Army will be destroyed in one day..." a captain said in a lost voice.
Zhao Ning was also shocked by the scene in front of him. After the river calmed down, everything that had been originally gone, leaving only the flat ground with yellow mud.
"No wonder my brother often said that for generals, we should make more use of the surrounding environment and use the power of nature. The power of nature is far beyond what people can resist. Water and fire are ruthless, so it is true!" Zhao Ning said slowly.
"General, will this bring disaster to the downstream villages?" a captain said in a low voice.
Zhao Ning smiled and said, "It is best if you think this way. However, we will lead troops to fight and cannot kill the dead people. But this time it doesn't matter. I have seen the scene of the downstream villages, and the living places of those people are far higher than those
The rivers are far apart. I think there have been floods here in summer. So this time it will not bring any major danger. More importantly, when the torrents come here, the terrain will become wider and suddenly narrower.
, it will not bring death danger to the lower body."
It turned out that three days ago, Zhao Ning asked to throw the river to block the river and accumulate water. Until today, he used the thunder to explode the interceptors of the past. The reason why he kept releasing the thunder to the sky was that they had too many places to use it.
, to cover up the sound of the explosion of the gap and the sound of torrents above. The effect is obvious. Except for the 3,000 troops on the right side of the escape and more than 2,000 people on the right side of the valley, the rest are basically gone.
.
The effect is obvious and the deterrent effect is also great. At least the five thousand new rebels who were wrapped in the association are now completely convinced.
"The First Battalion sent an envoy to investigate the situation of the two left and right armies and continue to attract them. The rest of the people will first confiscate their weapons!" Zhao Ning looked at the remaining ones, with a shocked and mostly unarmed five, looking at the remaining ones, with a look of horror and most unarmed ones.
Qianshen Wujun said with a big laugh.
"Abide by the order!" Ten thousand 13,000 people responded in unison.
The Shenwu Army, which was less than five thousand, was quickly wiped out. It should not be said that it was wiped out completely, but in fact they no longer had the courage and ability to resist.
Fortunately, as the leading general, we still have benefits. General Situ Jian, who was full of anger, escaped with the selfless dedication of his loyal subordinates. And he fled downstream, probably, he should have floated down.
Situ Jian, who was covered in desolation, once again entered the track of fate, was defeated again, and was in a daze. Under the escort of his personal guards, Situ Jian, who was covered in dust, stumbled downstream and fled downstream, walking all the way, all the bodies of his subordinates.
And the soldiers gathered and rescued together, there were less than 500 people.
After Zhao Ning won, he did not continue to take any action against the left and right armies. He knew that in a short time, the two armies would go back. He just asked his subordinates to restrain their bodies, pile them up, and buried them on the spot.
Next, it may cause a plague.
Sure enough, not long after, the left and right troops retreated and retreated to Huaicheng, Hanoi Prefecture.
Zhao Xun still didn't know the situation in Taihang Mountain, but now he didn't care about the situation in Taihang Mountain. There are three situations. First, the three Khitan tribes not only failed to complete the task, but were defeated, and even retreated to the Xiaoguo Army for help.
Secondly, in Youzhou, some people started to do something, and many officials were given gifts and even attracted. What's more, even in the army, some people began to reach out, some people were in some people's
After inspiration, he began to understand the little thoughts. Third, in Luoyang, it was reported that the mastermind attack on the two guards was Zhao Xun. In addition, some people also acted in the name of Qianniuwei, making Qianniuwei
It has a bad reputation.
"Lord, strangers come in and out of the houses of several captains of Qianniu Guard. I don't know what to do!" Wei Dong also reported the information from the Shadow Department.
Zhang Yuanjing raised his eyebrows and said, "Situ Lei's counterattack is coming, and it's soon! Murong Cheng even participated!"
"You mean that everything was made by Situ Lei and the others? Where are the three Khitan divisions?" Zhao Xun said with a gloomy face. He originally wanted to present the memorial of the Youbei Zhuhu surrendering to the court, but now he is blinking his eyes
The situation changed again.
"Lord, Situ Lei has been in power for more than 20 years, and cannot be underestimated. If we can order the eight Khitan tribes, he can also have a way to convince the other five. You must know that the three southern tribes are strong, which means the other five.
weakening of the department.”
"There are things in Youzhou, which is more complicated. It seems that this is easy to solve because it is within our sphere of influence, but it is the widest involvement. According to the report of the Defense Department and the Shadow Department, the Xiaoguo Army of Youzhou is reported by the Xiaoguo Army of Youzhou.
Most of the ups and downs are basically mixed up. Some people are involved, and some are naturally treated as smoke by these people."
"The same is true for Qianniuwei. The lord was kind and let more than 10,000 people go out of the camp. They were all from Qianniuwei. Then Qianniuwei's name did bad things. In the eyes of others, it was Qianniuwei.
The guards do bad things. There are also military officers' affairs. Their families are not in our sight, and we do not pay so many attention to them. Now, it is very likely to have an impact on Qianniu Guards."
Zhao Xun said coldly: "The affairs in Youzhou must be solved first. First, it is our base camp. Second, it is also delayed for a long time, and the more trouble it will be!"
Zhang Yuanjing nodded and said, "The Lord is right. I think Situ Lei and his friends are not only doing this. The subordinates think that we should return to Youzhou."
"Return to Youzhou?" Zhao Xun was stunned.
"Yes, the business road has been opened, and what we need is also being transported silently. Qianniuwei is also an unexpected gain. The financial crisis in Youzhou has also been resolved. Haven't our goal been achieved? Stay here,
I can only find restrictions for myself. Only by returning to Youzhou can I solve the problems of the three Khitan tribes be better done." Zhang Yuanjing said slowly.
"Return to Youzhou?" Zhao Xun couldn't help but think.
"Lord, when we leave, Luoyang will become a dispute between Situ Lei and Murong Cheng. The lord is still the General Qianniu Guard and can come back at any time. I think they will still need us to come back soon."
"That Qianniuwei..."
"We are leading the name of Qianniu Guard, how can they do anything else? It's not great to stay here. Now Murong Cheng is showing signs of joining forces with Situ Lei."
"Okay, we will be Youzhou! However, before leaving, we will rectify Qianniuwei first. Those guys who use my Qianniuwei to do bad things cannot be kept!" Zhao Xun said in a muffled voice.
Just as the Shenwu Army and the Taihang Bandits Army started fighting, Qianniu Guard also began to act. General Zhao Xun of Qianniu Guard ordered that a new identity token was issued among Qianniu Guards. Anyone who did not have one is not a member of Qianniu Guard.
.If you dare to pretend to be the Qianniu Guard, the Qianniu Guard soldiers have the right to kill them on the spot.
Afterwards, Qianniuwei cleaned up the surrounding areas of Luoyang, and those who acted with Qianniuwei were solved one by one, while promoting Qianniuwei's new policies.
In addition, the family of Qianniu Guard officers was placed in Dongcheng, and Zhao Xun personally paid for the purchase of real estate for him and settled his family for his livelihood. In fact, the money was filial to the merchants in Dongcheng. Some Qianniu Guard officers disappeared without a trace.
After being traced, many officers knew what was going on, and they couldn't help but burst into tears.
"What? Have you left Luoyang? When?" Situ Lei exclaimed after hearing the report from his subordinates.
"Yesterday, I was originally going to have a trip in name, but who knew that I would go directly to Henan Prefecture and his Majesty's imperial edict. Wherever I went, the soldiers guarding the city would turn on and off!" Lin Shucheng said with a wry smile.
"A group of stupid pigs, when will Zhao Xun meet His Majesty? Isn't anyone knowing if he asks to resign?" Situ Lei said angrily.
"Prince, Zhao Xun has been pursuing Qianniuwei these days. Who knew that he would leave quietly? According to the imperial edict, he was going to solve the problem of Khitan's entry."
"This Zhao Xun is so cunning! He kept us all in the dark. He asked someone to take action in Hanoi Palace and launch everyone, and a killing blow."
"Yes! I'll make arrangements!" Lin Shucheng took the order and left.
"Ling Xiao!"
"I'm here!"
"How was the relocation of the Yongzhou government troops?" Situ Lei asked with a light look in his eyes.
"If you are the prime minister, taking advantage of the heavy losses of the two armies and the reasons that need to be supplemented, the old army of the Yongzhou Prefecture Army was absorbed by the two armies, totaling 130,000. If the Shenwu Army returns smoothly, we will already control the troops of Yongzhou.
.” Ling Xiao said respectfully.
"Okay, I'll send an order to Situ Jian and ask them to withdraw their troops! The goal has been achieved! There is no need to fight again!"
"Let the Jinwu Army test Qianniuwei and see how they react!"
Zhao Xun, who entered Hanoi Prefecture, immediately calmed down. At this moment, there was only a thousand guard beside Zhao Xun. Then, another two thousand people gathered together in various ways.
"Han Meng, I'll leave it to you here. Remember, if you have an accident, don't fight. If you resist for a certain period of time, you will immediately withdraw from it! Do you understand?" Zhao Xun said in a deep voice.
"I understand!" Han Meng also knew Zhao Xun's plan and responded in a deep voice.
Zhao Xun's convoy was still heading towards Jizhou with great fanfare, while Zhao Xun led Li Xinyan to move northward under the cover of two thousand personal guards.
"Mr. Zhang! As you expected, the Jinwu Army came to my Dongcheng to test it!" Zhao Mang, deputy general of Qianniu Guard and the actual leading general, reported to Zhang Yuanjing with a smile.
"How was it like before, and now it's still like now, go and rush back. If they want to fight, then fight! By the way, I'll send someone to discuss the issue of commercial tax in the caravans in Jingzhou and Yangzhou with the King of Qi." Zhang Yuanjing was not nervous.
Said slowly.
"Negotiate the tax?"
"We want to give Situ Lei a signal, don't make any decisions about us, otherwise, we don't mind joining forces with Murong Cheng. At the same time, we also tell them that we will not interfere with them, and they will not care about us."
"Okay, I'll do it now!"
"As long as the lord takes Jizhou, Luoyang... what's the fear of Situ Lei?" Zhang Yuanjing said with a smile.
Zhao Xun's departure from Luoyang was indeed beyond the expectations of many people. The civil and military officials were very puzzled by this, but after learning that the Khitan had a problem, they did not investigate it carefully.
But Murong Cheng's face was indeed gloomy. The result of his test came out. Zhao Xun did not have much relationship with Emperor Xuanwu, but now Zhao Xun has left, and he left neatly. But Murong Cheng discovered that the soldiers in Yongzhou were in trouble.
All the horses ran into Situ Lei's pocket. As a result, Zhao Xun was forced to leave. Situ Lei got the troops in Yongzhou, but he had a problem with Zhao Xun and got nothing.
Now, the merchants in Jingzhou and Yangzhou are beginning to be dissatisfied with Murong Cheng because the merchants in Youzhou are not in line with them in business. If they don’t have business, they still make a lot of money. If they don’t have money, what can they support you?
"Prince, the Jinwu Army went to Dongcheng for a walk. The people who caused trouble were taught a lesson by Qianniuwei and drove out of Dongcheng." Zhang Tu said in a low voice. Because of the previous suggestion, Murong Cheng has suffered a loss now.
, so be careful too.
"Also, according to our people's return, Stu Lei is preparing to take action against Zhao Xun in Hanoi!"
Murong Cheng's face looked very ugly, and he was completely slapped by Situ Lei.
"Let's find a way to inform Qianniuwei of this news and let them report it to Zhao Xun. If Zhao Xun is in an accident, Youzhou will be in chaos. The best situation is that the generals of Youzhou support Zhao.
Xunzhizi stabilizes the situation in Youzhou, but they will no longer cause harm to Situ Lei, and will even fall into the hands of Situ Lei. Situ Lei's people are having fun in Youzhou." Zhong Yan also said a little awkwardly.
"Damn it! Situ Lei, the old bastard, shouldn't have talked to him that day!" Murong Cheng said angrily.
"Report! Prince, Zhao Mang, deputy general of Qianniu Guard, asked for a meeting!"
When the three of them heard this, their faces moved.
"Please come in!" Murong Cheng explained at the instructions of Zhang Tu and Zhong Yan.
