Chapter 932: The Ambition of the County King
In June, the scorching sun was like fire, and on the land of Yuzhou, a team of knights was galloping, and there were seventy or eighty people. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
What they rode was a high-headed horse of one color, and the knights on the horse, all of them were extremely powerful, and even a few dozen female cultivators were also heroic.
At the head was a sturdy man, who was a beginner-level real person, and behind him was a handsome young man, and a little girl, and there were more than twenty cultivators in the team, and the others were all cultivators.
This sturdy man is from the Chenggao family, and the family was originally a hermit family, but the descendants are not angry, and now it is a semi-hermit family, and there are only four or five real people in the clan.
The priest family has a very good relationship with the Qu Adu family, they are both semi-hidden families, and the Du family is much stronger than the sacrifice family, but it is not superior.
This time Li Yongsheng entered Yuzhou, Du Jingjing greeted the clan and asked them to introduce the sacrifice family to cooperate.
In fact, the Du family can produce a few real people, but if the ninth princess wants to exert her strength in Huiji, she needs the cooperation of the local family.
The real name of the priest who came is called Saiqiang, the worship of a chariot and horse shop, he is very familiar with the entire Yuzhou, and he is also very brave, and he has served incognito in the border army for many years.
When Li Yongsheng entered Yuzhou, Zhao Xinxin also sent someone to Huiji to escort Peng Ze's sailor, and she was a little unable to give up.
The Ninth Princess herself is sitting in Lei Valley, and at the same time, she also has a restaurant in Vermilion Bird City, and the disciples of the Xuannu Palace will not follow to Huiji, so this time to go to Huiji, they sent Zhang Laoshi, Tianmu Double Kill, Lin Er and Fang Zhenren.
Among them, Fang Zhenren is from the Tianji Palace, and he can also be responsible for communicating with the local government, and the others are thugs.
The number of people is a little small, but there are really no more people to be sent, the Gongsun family has followed Gongsun Buqi, and She Xianfeng also went north to celebrate the authenticity of Huyan scholars, and with the authenticity of the two permits, Lei Gu's strength has been greatly reduced.
Even if this is the case, Zhao Xinxin still hopes that Li Yongsheng can take two more people, because she has already considered that when it is a big deal, summoning Suzaku to come out to help, is it not worth a few real people?
Yongxin Fairy is a female cultivator, her thoughts are different from those of Immortal Immortal, she will not consider using Vermilion Bird too much, she will lose face - I am willing to use you, it is all to give you face.
But Li Yongsheng refused, he felt that one person was enough to come to Yuzhou, and then he was forced to bring a blood slave, plus the sacrificial strength found from Yuzhou, it was also three real people, barely enough.
Although the sacrifice is the first time to contact them, the name of Lei Gu has long been heard, plus he has the face of the Du family, and along the way, he is very respectful to Li Yongsheng.
After galloping for a while, two spies came back from their horses, "There is no one in Xiaojing Village anymore, and even the well has been filled, so it's better to find a shady place to sharpen it, and wait for it to be a little cooler before hurrying." ”
Sai Qiang didn't wait for Li Yongsheng's orders, and nodded directly, "There is a small valley fifty miles away, and there is a mountain spring inside, let's go there and rest." ”
Since it was decided, the three real people wrapped seventy or eighty knights and rushed over like a whirlwind.
In the past few days in the land of Yuzhou, Li Yongsheng has been like this, and he does not hide his identity as a real person, he can ride a horse when he can, and if he can't fly directly, he doesn't mind what others think.
For the real people, fifty miles was only a short time away, and when they entered the valley, they found that there were seven or eight hundred people gathered inside, all of them old and weak, women and children.
Seeing their group descending from the sky, the momentum was violent, the people in the valley were busy walking away, and dozens of children who were playing in the waterhole were also so frightened that they crawled out of the waterhole and ran away bare-bottomed.
The valley is not big, only a mile round, densely wooded, a mountain spring flows out of the cliff, accumulates into a small pool, and the whole valley is quite cool.
Li Yongsheng and the others found a shady place to sit down, and some people led the horses to wash and drink horses in the waterhole, and some people ran to the bottom of the cliff to pick up the bubbling mountain spring.
Looking at Li Shu who was avoiding in the distance, Li Yongsheng shook his head, "It's rare, King Zheng didn't send anyone to occupy this place." ”
King Zheng is actually not a prince, but a county king, but when the first emperor purged, the old Zheng actively cooperated, but was assassinated, after the prince ascended the throne, the first emperor Qin gave a word county king, which is equivalent to enjoying the treatment of the prince of the county.
Haidai's army came from the east, causing a great threat to Yuzhou, and the three prefectures in the east have been completely lost, and the defenders can not resist the army of King Xiang, so they can only rely on the hard resistance of various counties, and fight and retreat.
This is already quite good, Yuzhou County has been preparing for the war for more than a year, vigorously reorganizing the army to prepare materials, if it is left a year ago, there is a chance that the army will be defeated like a mountain.
However, Haidai's army is also mostly recruited, which is why King Xiang not only wants to grab food and people, but also has the intention of training soldiers.
At this time, King Zheng raised an army, and he recruited private troops, also under the banner of defending his hometown, but the military envoy of Yuzhou County told him early: You are not allowed to recruit private soldiers.
If the prince raises troops, what else can be said, but you are just treated as a prince, and you dare to raise troops?
Not to mention anything else, the fief of the county king is much smaller than that of the prince, and the output is of course much smaller, and the number of guards that the county king is allowed to have? Fifty people! How many family members can be? No more than two hundred!
With the financial resources of the county king, if he didn't have the intention of rebelling, he would not have the money to recruit private soldiers at all.
In fact, it's not just a matter of money, the princes can raise troops, that's because they have a direct connection with Zongshowon, and there are some famous halls in it, and it's not something that outsiders can put their beaks on, but the prince of the county ...... That's really unqualified, don't look at them as Zhao.
In short, the military service room is telling King Zheng that you are not allowed to raise troops, and if King Xiang's soldiers and horses fight over, you can retreat to the county - of course, if King Xiang does not fight over, you still can't leave the fiefdom without permission.
King Zheng was originally submissive, but with the collapse of the situation in Yuzhou County, he suddenly launched it, gathering 100,000 troops within ten days, occupying most of Wanyi Mansion and half of Xuzhou Mansion.
The speed was so amazing that it would be a fool to say that he was not fully prepared in advance.
The military service room directly sent someone to ask: What are you going to do?
King Zheng replied confidently, I have to protect myself, and I also have to protect the local Li Shu, otherwise the anti-king will fight, if I can't escape, won't I have to die in battle?
This is pure nonsense, it is true that King Xiang is an anti-king, but he is also a member of the Zhao family, before the rebellion was successful, he dared to slaughter the county king of the Zhao family at will?
In fact, it is more likely that King Xiang will be courteous to King Zheng - you can mix with me, and when I ascend to the great treasure, everyone will benefit.
Hearing him say this, the Yuzhou Military Service Office directly sent 50,000 troops to destroy King Zheng: If you don't do it, there are four county kings in Yuzhou County, if the military dares to sit idly by, what should the three county kings do?
It is a pity that some of the elite soldiers in Yuzhou are guarding the county of Luoyi, some are on the front line of resisting King Xiang, and some have entered Youzhou, and they are participating in the war there, and the 50,000 people sent by the military service room are not very effective.
The private soldiers recruited by King Zheng are also new soldiers, a little worse than the regular army, but they can't stand King Zheng's repeated defeats and battles, and 100,000 people can't beat you? Then I will increase my troops by 20,000 more, and I can't beat them? Then I will increase my troops by 30,000!
The soldiers issued by the military service room were originally recruits, although their morale was acceptable, and they had repeatedly won battles, but the more they fought the other side, the more difficult it became to win, and in the face of this situation, the more they won, the more they trembled: if they continue to fight like this, they will lose sooner or later.
In fact, the situation has developed like this, and there is a key point, that is, the military has won several battles in succession, and it has not killed many of the living forces of King Zheng's private soldiers.
This point is actually very easy to understand, first of all, the two sides of the battle are mostly Yuzhou people, and they are township parties -- Yuzhou people do not fight Yuzhou people.
The second is that King Zheng did not openly raise the anti-flag, although his actions are already a rebellion in essence, but as long as he is willing to recognize this court and the young son of heaven, it is not easy to persecute too much in the Yuzhou military service room.
No one can afford to force a county king to rebel.
Not to mention that Yuzhou is now not only facing the attack of King Xiang, but King Yu is also a little unstable, and if King Zheng rebels again, the entire Yuzhou will be in chaos.
You must know that the great drought in Yuzhou some time ago has also given birth to a lot of chaos, not to mention that there is still a lot of chaos in northern Henan, which is also adjacent to Youzhou County.
In this case, if the two sides fight, of course, they can avoid killing, so try to avoid killing.
King Zheng's army fought more and more, and it was also because of this that after losing the battle, everyone ran away without their lives, and after running back to the rear, they reorganized their army to meet it, and then ran away after losing......
In addition, King Zheng recruited private soldiers very hard, and of course the army fought more and more.
The way King Zheng's army fought looked ridiculous, but after just a few defeats, his power became bigger and bigger.
Even from a certain point of view, his army has undergone tests, and it may not be possible to fight a tough battle, but it is a bit confident in fighting guerrilla warfare -- if nothing else, it is quite remarkable to say that these troops can be scattered and recovered.
Zhao Xinxin is quite unpleasant to King Zheng, the old King Zheng is the brother of Guangzong, King Ying is the son of Guangzong, when King Ying was young, he was tossed by this imperial uncle, and once almost drowned.
The current King Zheng, even if he is Zhao Xinxin's cousin, has always been unapologetic to the King of England - Guangzong has already chosen the crown prince, and the King of England is the most virtuous among the prince's brothers, and the old King Zheng has put the bet on the first emperor, and of course King Zheng will not change his ways.
Li Yongsheng came to Yuzhou this time, and his task was to block King Zheng, and it was best to defeat his arrogance, disband the army he raised, and let this guy be an honest king of Taiping County.
To be honest, this is basically an epic task - if Li Yongsheng does not reveal his identity as a wind watcher.
The number of troops that King Zheng has gathered now has reached more than 200,000, and Ding Zhuang has at least 780,000 people, which can definitely be claimed to be a million.
The difficulty of disbanding such a large army can be imagined.
