Several major leaders came to investigate in great excitement, but in the end they came back defeated.
At this time, news spread that Xihe had been planning for several years and planned to imitate Luo Cheng and others in rebellion, causing an uproar in the world.
Xiao Xiao Piao Miao Sect dares to confront the imperial court. Is she crazy? There are also people who admire her immensely.
The imperial court suffered a great humiliation.
The emperor ordered to assemble nearby soldiers and horses to attack Piaomiao Gate and teach her a harsh lesson.
He also ordered that all the female disciples of the Piao Miao Sect should serve as military prostitutes to serve as a warning to others.
Xihe was well prepared. As soon as the imperial troops entered the Piaomiaomen territory, they were surrounded by a swarm of Free Army soldiers who had been lying in wait for a long time and started a confrontation.
How could the imperial troops and horses, which were neglected in training, be able to defeat Xihe's elite soldiers who trained day and night? It was finally captured in one fell swoop.
The Free Army cheered and raised their hands in the air, with tears in their eyes. They really defeated the imperial court!
The Free Army is Xihe's collective name for the army formed by those farmers, which means: freedom of life, freedom of belief, and freedom of political rights.
After half a year of training, she drew the blueprint in her heart in front of everyone. She wanted to give everyone a truly free empire and overthrow the imperial system.
At that time, everyone including Fang Qinglin, the disciples of the Piaomiao Sect, and the farmers who had just finished training thought it was a fantasy.
How is it possible, how could such a place exist? But I subconsciously remembered this statement.
At this time, looking at the prisoners of the imperial court who were easily captured by them, they finally believed that the imperial court was not invincible, and an empire of freedom and equality was not impossible to achieve!
They looked at the woman standing on the high platform with her hands behind her hands, and suddenly shouted: "Your Majesty! Your Majesty!"
Thousands of shouts gathered into uniform slogans, and even Shen Yunzhuang and others shouted excitedly: "Your Majesty! Your Majesty!"
Looking down from the high platform, the faces flushed with excitement looked like the most loyal believers.
Xihe blinked in surprise, then quickly curled up the corners of his mouth and stared at everyone.
The news that "the imperial court sent troops to attack Piaomiao Gate, but was beaten to a pulp and all became prisoners, except for the generals who were let go" quickly swept the world and caused a shock.
Everyone was shocked. Luo Cheng, who was extremely curious about Xihe, sent someone to send a letter of friendship.
Xihe looked through it and threw it aside casually, with no intention of replying.
The situation is very good at this time, so we should take advantage of the victory and pursue it!
She quickly led her troops and occupied the two surrounding counties in just three days and two nights.
These two counties are not very good, with more mountains and less cultivated fields. They are incomparable to Luo Cheng who occupied the entire ten southwest counties in just a few years. But you know, it only took her three days.
Although the court did not take her as a woman seriously and underestimated the enemy, she was definitely worthy of being a hero in this world.
After completely demarcating this area as her own power, Xihe killed those who deserved to be killed, jailed those who deserved, and then put her own people there. She had a strong mind and arranged people who were appropriately qualified for her position.
Soon, the chaotic two counties quickly returned to peace under her fierce methods.
For a moment, everyone waiting to watch the excitement was silent. This Master Chu should not be underestimated.
Xihe did not just calm down. In less than a month, she expanded her sphere of influence twice as far as the border!
Cui Pingyang, the prefect who occupied the entire border, frowned: Could it be that this woman has set her target on him? Want to be the first to take action on him?
After thinking about it and shaking his head, he admitted that the Free Army in this woman's hands was very powerful.
Chu Shishi was able to occupy surrounding counties and cities in a short period of time, which was all due to them.
But just came to deal with him? Are you overconfident? He, Cui Pingyang, has been stationed at the border for decades. Can he be bullied by just any little girl?
Xihe nodded: Yes, I am so arrogant.
The reputation of rebellion is always bad. Xihe has heard a lot of people scolding her in the past few months. Although she doesn't care, she can't be scolded all the time. She should save her if possible.
So she decided to go straight to the border and use Tatar to clear her reputation!
Deal with Cui Pingyang? Just in passing.
October is the time for Tatars to grab things and prepare for winter.
They rode sturdy prairie horses, waved whips, and charged into border villages with grinning faces.
The people were trembling, watching helplessly as they snatched things away and killed people. They closed their eyes in despair - poof! The man on the horse was hit by an arrow in the chest and fell down.
The people stared wide-eyed and didn't know why.
The Tatars were even more panicked, yelling and saying things that no one could understand.
Uh-huh! A sharp arrow struck again, and a Tatar fiercely used his shield to block it. The next second, the whole person was hit hard like a meteor and hit the ground.
Immediately afterwards, arrows were shot one after another from all directions, and the Tatars fled in panic.
However, as soon as he ran out of the village, he was stopped by a group of soldiers wearing black armor and filled with evil spirits. After two or three rounds, they were beheaded to the ground.
The common people waited until there was no sound outside, then sneaked over tremblingly, only to see the soldiers' backs leaving, with the flags blazing, and three big words written on them: Free Army!
In Xihe, he burned, killed, and plundered a group of Tatars, killing them until they were pissed, and fled back to the grassland.
The reputation of the Free Army finally spread throughout the world.
What became widely known was the meaning of the three words "Freedom Army" and the free country they wanted to build.
The imperial court and the rebel army sneered at this, thinking that Xihe was also a hypocrite who had people charge into battle for her under the banner of freedom.
The common people were not that smart, and they yearned for those words. However, after all, they lacked the courage to make a desperate move, and they all silently chose to live their current lives.
People in the world don’t think so much.
For the first time, they knew that people like them in the world could be so powerful!
In their consistent consciousness, people in the world are loners. Even if they act chivalrously, they only engage in assassinations and sneak attacks. How could they assemble an army and overthrow the court like Xihe did.
This woman is so strong and crazy, they love her so much!
And the Free Army, the Free Army!
Isn't this their original intention when they entered Jianghu? Act chivalrously and do justice for the people!
So one by one, carrying swords and weapons on their backs, they hurriedly ran to Xihe and begged Xihe to accept them. They must be obedient and hit wherever she pointed, and they would never mess around! Ask her not to drive them away.
Xihe and Fang Qinglin looked at each other and nodded: "Then stay."
She handed them over to Fang Qinglin and asked him to make arrangements. Although the group of people regretted not being able to stay with her, they also followed the arrangements very obediently.
Liu Yurong frowned when he saw this, and found an opportunity to mention his fifth brother privately: "Your Majesty has great trust in you, and I can trust you with important matters. But in the end, Your Majesty is the leader of this team. Fifth Brother, you have nothing to do with me." Don’t…”
"Brother, I know."
Fang Qinglin interrupted him.
Liu Yurong was stunned for a moment, then scratched his head in embarrassment: "That, that's good."
