"Pass my order, from now on, Liaodong will enter the highest state of combat readiness, and all the main generals will be divided into three groups, and they will take turns to be on duty for twelve hours a day to ensure that any turmoil can be dealt with in a timely manner."

"In addition, all the barracks are starting to recruit training soldiers in full force, and I will have the corresponding funds ready. Remember! The premise of army expansion is that the quality of non-commissioned soldiers cannot be reduced, and it is necessary to ensure that every non-commissioned soldier meets the corresponding level standards! ”

"Decree that in the entire Liaodong, if any Taiping Dao believer is found, whether it is a stranger or an aborigine, he will be immediately killed!"

"Hongzhu, immediately send an order, cancel the one-month tax in the whole county, gather the people's hearts as soon as possible, and ensure that the people will not be bewitched by the Taiping Sect and demons!"

Shang Ji issued four orders in a row.

"Subordinates obey!"

The crowd shouted in unison.

"Well, everyone, remember that the Taiping Rebellion is both a disaster and an opportunity for us. I hope that all of you will work together to ensure the tranquility and stability of Liaodong! Shang Ji looked around and saw that everyone's expressions were solemn, and he couldn't help but say a word of comfort.

"Subordinates obey the teachings of the Lord!"

"Go ahead, raise your ......"

"Hmm"

Shang Ji was saying this, when he suddenly paused, and then his face quickly became ugly.

"Ding, system prompt: Player Shang Ji, because the middle-level city of Xin'an City under your rule was occupied by the Yellow Turban Army, as a senior official of the Han camp with the responsibility of defending the territory and defending the enemy, you will be deducted 2 million merit points, and your merit value is currently -1835543, please send troops as soon as possible to recover the lost territory. A prolonged negative merit score may lead to a reduction or revocation of an official position! ”

A sudden system prompt directly stunned Shang Ji, it is not strange that there are Yellow Turban troops in Liaodong, and it is not strange that even some cities have been captured, but this speed is too fast!

This is a mid-level city, and it was less than half an hour before Zhang Jiao's official rebellion, and as a result, a mid-level city was lost! Could it be that Zhang Jiao personally ran to Liaodong

"Who is the defender of Xin'an Fortress?"

Shang Ji had a gloomy face and asked directly to Liu Yi.

"Zhang Ping, Zhang Yongzi, what's wrong, what's wrong with Xin'an" Although I don't understand why Shang Ji suddenly asked about Xin'an at this time, Liu Yi still gave an answer immediately.

"Xin'an has been captured by the Yellow Turban Army!"

As soon as Shang Ji said this, everyone was first shocked, and then they all showed disbelief.

Most of the people here know that Zhang Ping was the former general of the Black Armor Army, and was later assigned to Xin'an as a county lieutenant. The ability is not outstanding, but he has a calm personality and is meticulous in his work, and rarely makes any mistakes. With the benefits of the defenders of Xin'an City and the city wall after the whole training, even if the 100,000 Yellow Turban Army besieged it, it was impossible to capture the city in such a short time!

"Could it be that something happened in the city," Tai Shici guessed with a solemn face.

Hearing what Tai Shici said, everyone also nodded in agreement. If you want to capture a mid-level city in such a short period of time, the biggest possibility is that there is a problem inside the city.

"Report! Sin'an Fortress Emergency Military Situation! ”

Just when everyone almost unanimously agreed that it was an internal problem that caused Xin'an to fall quickly, a sound accompanied by wheezing came into everyone's eardrums.

"Fast forward!"

Shang Ji hurriedly stood up, only to see a small official walk in in a panic, and said loudly as he walked: "Lord Qi, news came from Xin'an City, the Taiping Road in the city was in turmoil, and most of the guards of Xin'an City defected, and the Xin'an guard General Captain Zhang Ping was killed, Xin'an Ling Mao Sheng was captured by the Yellow Turban Army, Xin'an City is in danger, please send troops to rescue immediately!" ”

Although the news transmission speed of the Shang army was faster than that of ordinary armies, this time it was a mess, and the news of asking for help came after Xin'an City was captured.

"Do you know the specific situation, why did the Xin'an Guards turn against the demon road on a large scale, and what is the name of the demon who occupied Xin'an City, what is the change in the Yellow Turban Army?"

Shang Ji asked several questions in a row.

"The lord forgives the sin, the news delivered in the direction of Xin'an is very sloppy, and there are no details." The official in charge of delivering the message bowed his head and replied.

"Okay, I know, you go down, and report to me as soon as there is any new news!" Shang Ji waved his hand and sent the little official down.

Although there are more advanced communication stones, due to production limitations, the current communication in eastern Liaoning still mainly relies on old-fashioned communication symbols.

Even the ten big cities are not all equipped with communication stones, not to mention a mid-level city like Xin'an, which is not strategically located.

In this way, it is understandable that there is a slight lag in the message.

However, from this simple communication, Shang Ji also analyzed some important things.

For example, the key to the rapid fall of Xin'an City - the rebellion of the Taiping Sect and the Demon Dao.

If it weren't for the defection of a large number of guards, Taiping Dao would not have been able to take Xin'an City so quickly.

Now, it is very important to understand the mechanism of this defection, otherwise it is necessary to send troops to the army to conquer recklessly.

Shang Ji thought for a moment and decisively ordered: "Brother, Huchen, you are temporarily responsible for staying in Xiangping City to prevent accidents. Ziyi, you will lead the army with me to Xin'an! ”

The rebellion in Xin'an must be suppressed as soon as possible, not to mention the question of whether it will lead to the reduction of official positions. There is no influence in this regard, since the Yellow Turban Army dares to take the initiative to provoke himself, of course Shang Ji will not be polite. It must be suppressed quickly with the force of thunder, and it must be ensured that the rebellion does not spread.

As for why he went in person, he was afraid of the strange means of the Taiping Sect's demon dao that could cause the soldiers to defect on a large scale.

The Black Armor Xuanqi has the trait of loyalty, and under the premise of Shang Ji personally commanding, as long as he himself is not killed or escaped, the soldier is immune to any surrender skills.

As for taking Tai Shici, it is naturally for the sake of insurance and to be a backhand. After all, no one has real combat experience with the Yellow Turban Army, and it coincides with the destiny of the Yellow Turban camp.

Tai Shici, as the current No. 1 combat force of the Shang Army, naturally shoulders the heavy responsibility of the Shang Ji bodyguard.

Tai Shici, Liu Yi and others didn't ink when they heard the words, although it was a bit of a fuss for the labor merchant to take action personally, but this is also the safest way at present.

As for the security of the merchants, no one said much.

Although everyone was taken aback by the sudden fall of Sin'an City, no one expressed concern about the overall situation in Liaodong. Perhaps the methods of the Yellow Turban Army may be a little weird, but the Shang Army is in an absolute advantage in terms of comprehensive strength.

If the Yellow Turban Taoist who could injure the army into rebellion was really that powerful, he would not have chosen a mediocre city like Xin'an as a target.

Not to mention a giant city like Xiangping, it is enough to break the bones of a business to capture a big city at will.
