In Yugu City, Wu Gen was sitting in a small courtyard, looking at the battle report that had just been sent.
There is a maple tree in the courtyard, with pavilions like canopies, occupying most of the courtyard. The sunlight was filtered by the layers of leaves and leaked onto him, turning into a faint, round and gently swaying halo.
Standing up, Wu Gen looked up to the west.
After Gu Yangsi died, Wu Gen did not return to the camp in front of Zhululing. Instead, he rushed eastward to intercept the fleeing coalition soldiers. Finally, he stopped in Yugu City.
They can no longer run. The Northern Army has now been divided into three parts.
Ji Yan was responsible for watching the camp in front of Zhululing and destroying the camp left by the coalition forces. After all, if this camp is used by someone with intentions, it will be a hidden danger. Ji Dai and others stayed here, and Wu Gen left some prisoners for them, enough for them to regroup.
As for Zu Yuantong, Ji Yan's die-hard subordinate, he followed him shamelessly. He was familiar with the Fearless Army when he was in Xingshan. He was considered an old man and the army did not regard him as an outsider.
One group was led by Zhang Wuyang and carried by the Yifu Army to Wuling City. After being transported twice, a thousand people were transported there. These people secretly gathered outside the city and prepared to attack the city secretly. Wuling City is not big, and under Ji Xin's supervision for many years, the city's defenses have been relaxed. There are not many guards in the city. Even if Ji Bi wants to hide some soldiers and horses in the city, he probably won't be able to hide many.
Therefore, Ji Xian passed by but did not stay. This is the reason why this city cannot be defended and can only be used as a transfer place for food, grass and military supplies. This time Wu Gen planned to use the Yifu army to attack a city. This was the first time this happened in Kuntianzhou.
One is here in Yugu City, led by Wu Gen. After several battles with the coalition forces, too many prisoners were collected, many of whom needed to be reorganized. Prisoners cannot be taken and used, especially the clan soldiers of these families. They were fighting to the death with the Fearless Army before, but now they are integrated into one body. It is impossible not to gather their thoughts.
The Fearless Army is still divided into five teams, with a total of about 30,000 people. The former army was led by Shui Congyue, and its number expanded to eight thousand, making it the largest unit in the fearless army. Luo Zhang was also let go by Wu Gen. The right army was led by Baoxiang, and the left army was led by Xue Xin. As for the Chinese army, Wu Gen was handed over to Zhang Wuyang. The rear army was led by Zhuo Ke, and Zu Yuantong was also placed here.
According to Wu Gen's idea, each army should be equipped with at least 20,000 people. With the addition of the Rebel Army, the entire fearless army expanded to more than 100,000 people. In this way, with such a huge size, no one dares to underestimate the Fearless Army. Wu Gen is enough to compete with any family.
The new Lingyun Eight Cavalry is also being formed, and Wu Gen has prepared to use it as a reserve for military generals. The new recruits will be recruited into the various armies after they have experienced in the Eight Cavalry. Because the Fearless Army was stationed in two places, the Eight Cavalry of Lingyun actually existed in name only. In addition to Niu Chao, the immovable nail, several more people were selected one after another.
In the past two days, all armies have been extremely busy, redeploying men and horses, replenishing military resources, and training intensively. Going forward, they will attack the territory of the Lu family and several other families. At the same time, they are waiting for the news of Zhang Wuyang's attack on Wuling City, and then watching the battle in Hanlu City.
Yang Zheng has also been active in various armies these days, admonishing those prisoners who surrendered. When the war ends, the Ji family will bloodbath all the rebel families, and only the Fearless Army can protect them. If you dare to escape privately, you will only die. Moreover, the law of continuous sitting was established in each army, and prisoners from different families were mixed together, which actually curbed the tendency of prisoners to escape.
Wu Gen grabbed the letter and walked around the maple tree. From the letters sent back by Ji Ye and Ji Yan, we learned that Hanlu City should be free of worries.
Because of the golden puppet, the Chaoyang Gate in the east of Hanlu City was breached by the rebels. In desperation, Ji Chen had to let the stone statue smash down the gate. Murong Yanyu led his own secret guards and recruited people in the city to hold the opponent firmly. Near Dongcheng, the thieves were not allowed to further expand their victory.
However, with the arrival of Ji Ye and his army, and with Ji Xin and Murong Yingge returning to Hanlu City with 20,000 troops, a confrontation with Ji Xian was already forming. I believe that in a short time, with Ji Xin's power in the province, Hanlu City's crisis will be resolved.
Of course, relieving danger is one thing, but reassuring oneself is another. This forced reform has created an undercurrent in the Iron Hand Province, and people are rebellious. Except for the families who are directly rebelling, other families just don't dare to come to the surface.
I remember that when Shui Congyue and others first arrived in the Iron Hand Province, someone dared to assassinate Ji Ye on the way. However, it is no longer possible to find out who was behind the scenes.
In the end, the rebellion of various families was just a concentrated expression of this dissatisfaction. But this is also a good thing. Only through great destruction can we achieve great success. I think the fastest place to implement the restructuring is the territory of these families. As for other families, they dare not come openly, but it is still possible to use some small tricks secretly. I am afraid that the county chiefs dispatched by the Ji family will have their hands tied for a long time.
"There is a letter from Wu Yang. The siege went smoothly." Yang Zheng opened the door and walked in, holding a secret letter in his hand. "As expected before the battle, there are actually no guards in Wuling City, especially since they have never seen By overcoming the city defenses and directly attacking the city lord's palace, the city was suddenly panicked and Wuyang sent people to defeat them separately.
Now, they have broken through the city defense and are collecting the treasures and spiritual jade in the city. In addition, Wu Yang proposed that he wanted to bring the old and weak people in Xingshan to prevent the Ji family from retaliating against them in the future. After all, there were many human beings in it. "
"Okay, you might as well let him leave some people to gather the people in Xingshan and transfer them to Yugu City by land. The Rebel Army still has to rush back as soon as possible. Next we have to enter the territory of each family. Although these families are all elite We are lost, but the people's hearts are unstable. If we are harassed by small groups of troops or civilians from time to time, it will be enough for us.
Moreover, these newly-acquired prisoners in the army will probably flee once they see their homeland. Compared with a head-on confrontation with the coalition forces, this kind of battle is actually more difficult to fight. "Wu Gen thought for a while and agreed to Zhang Wuyang's request.
"We still need to collect more giant mastiffs. To be honest, when it comes to the territory of each family, mastiffs are sometimes better than people." Yang Zheng put the letter in his arms and walked with Wu Gen in the courtyard, "Especially when you encounter Some old and weak people are blocking us. Most of our troops are prisoners, and we don't want to kill too many people. The presence of the giant mastiff will scare away many people."
Wu Gen stopped, thought for a moment and then smiled brilliantly, "For this reason, let Niu Ye hurry up and collect some giant mastiffs to join the army. Now Niu Chao has another use. With a vicious dog like him, I think he can withstand it More than a thousand elite soldiers."
"Exactly, Niu Chao is used well. He is actually a rare soldier. Although he has a bad mouth, he is actually quite dependent on you, the village leader, so there is no need to worry about his loyalty. Moreover, this person is greedy for money, but where can he hide his money? Go, it’s not all that you took advantage of.
But we still have to find a way to suppress him. Otherwise, when he gets older, he may be a threat to the fearless army and cannot be contained. Yang Zheng also laughed a little. Niu Chao was fearless in the army, and even he, a sinister man, couldn't do anything to him.
Wu Genyi chewed his teeth and felt helpless. Niu Chao was rampant in the army. It was impossible to say how many evil things he had done, but his mouth was really annoying.
"The whole army will be reorganized and will set off in two days. If it's too late, I'm afraid something will happen to those families, and they will take advantage of the great victory to subjugate the other clans." Wu Gen said as he walked, "We must also survey the terrain in the south. I think Liangzhe Mountain is good. It is adjacent to three provinces. The terrain is dangerous and easy to defend but difficult to attack...net
There is also a platform valley in this mountain, which can accommodate so many troops of the Fearless Army. If managed well, they can attack Shule Province in the south and penetrate into Bailing Province in the west, waiting for opportunities to establish contact with Chu Xi and the others. "
"Hua Yanlin also needs to find a way to move around. If we don't unite with him, I'm afraid the Hulan family won't allow such a large army of ours." Yang Zheng nodded after hearing this. This place was originally occupied by himself and Hu Jia. mutually discussed.
"Let's do it step by step. We can make some contacts in advance, but we need to settle down in Liangzhe Mountain. By the way." Wu Gen walked to the table and sat down, pouring a cup of tea for Yang Zheng, "The bird catcher can make contact Anyway, the war in Hanlu City won't last long, I'm afraid Ji Xin won't kill the two governors of the Xianyu family."
"Don't worry, we will definitely let them die in the Iron Hand Province. If Ji Xin wants to settle the matter, we will let him drop the mud in his pants without saying anything." Yang Zheng sneered, took the tea and took a sip.
"By the way, Ji Yan may want to follow us. Do you think there is any way to make her stay?" Wu Gen looked at Yang Zheng with a smile.
"Why don't you let her follow? With her in the army, the march of the Fearless Army can be justified." Yang Zheng suddenly remembered something, lowered his voice, and looked at it with a guilty conscience.
He glanced at the door and said, "Isn't it just that Cong Yue is having a hard time? Just go and talk more. Although Cong Yue looks cold and arrogant, he is actually very easy to talk to because of brotherly love."
"Yes, I'll leave this matter to you." Wu Gen grabbed Yang Zheng's hand.
"Why should I go? Cong Yue came to Kuntianzhou just because of your face. If you go and tell me, wouldn't you just get beaten up?" Yang Zheng suddenly withdrew his hand and looked at the sky. "Look at my memory, there are still a few pieces of important information that I haven't had time to deal with." As he said that, he stood up in a hurry, ignored Wu Gen's attempts to stay, opened the door and walked away.
Two days later, the Fearless Army took the lead in sending troops from the Moon Territory, heading east along the original route of the coalition's advance. The first step was to recapture the small towns occupied by the coalition, recruit the rebels stationed in them, and clear the way for the subsequent advance of the army. obstacle.
Wu Gen left some people in Yugucheng to support him and led other troops to follow closely behind. With the news of the defeat of the coalition forces, the road was uneventful and progressed smoothly. Those rebels who stayed behind had either run away, and the rest collapsed at the first touch and became prisoners one after another.
Not to mention that Wu Gen marched all the way, killing the Lu family in the name of conquering the rebels. On a hill not far from Wuling City, Mingzheng was drinking tea with an old man. The old man was very old, his snow-white eyebrows drooped on his face, and his face was covered with wrinkles like walnuts. However, his face was rosy, and he looked energetic and confident.
Watching the hawks flying from the city, the old man held a steaming porcelain cup, smiled and said to Ming Zheng beside him: "It seems that this so-called Wu Gen really has some skills. Today, let him I have opened my eyes to the fact that I can defeat a city just by being a vassal. In the future, the world will change, and the rules of war will also change. You might as well get in touch with him more, this person will definitely do great things in the future. "
"As ordered, elder, please have some tea." Ming Zheng knelt on the ground and refilled the old man's cup of tea.
