Emperor Taizong's Growth Plan

Chapter 260
On the official road, the war horse neighed, accompanied by the sound of the swords colliding with the armor, it was a sense of chilling, paving the way.Thousands of soldiers marched hurriedly with only light armor and weapons.

At this time, the formation of the soldiers was already a little scattered, and some soldiers were constantly exhausted and fell behind.But even so, the generals ignored these and continued to urge the soldiers to move forward.

A general wearing armor and surrounded by dozens of knights reined in his horse and stopped by the side of the road.

Seeing the army sergeants falling behind so seriously, the general's eyes froze.

At this moment, a light rider came from a distance, and the fast horse came to the general, got off the horse and knelt down on one knee, shouting loudly:
"Report to the general, eighty miles ahead is the county seat of Huang'an County."

Hearing the words, the leading general looked solemn, and immediately asked:

"How is the situation now?"

"Back to the general, tens of thousands of refugees have trapped the city. However, no conflict has erupted, and the situation can still be stabilized."

The general heard the words, but without hesitation, he hurriedly said:
"We have been traveling day and night, and the whole army is exhausted. Going rashly is a taboo in the art of war! If a large army comes, causing nervous misunderstandings among the refugees, and worsening the situation, I'm afraid it will be difficult for us to ask for advice!"

"Pass down the general's order to set up camp here and rest for a whole day. And send scouts to check for news!"

This general is the general of the Southwest Frontier Army of the Xia Kingdom, and now the main general of the Zhenyi Battalion, Zhu Dong.At present, it is the order of King Qi to lead light soldiers to meet the imperial supplies quickly.

Although King Qi ordered him to rush to Huang'an County to pick up supplies as soon as possible.But what Zhu Dong said at this time was not false.

Previously in the Wing Wing Battalion, all the generals in the camp, from the main general to the bottom generals, were from the general family, and their influence was deeply ingrained.When King Qi invaded the northern border of Yunguo, he wanted to use his sword to kill people, so he deliberately let Zhenyiying attack Jiancheng.

Not long after that, all the gates of the Southwest General were wiped out, and most of the Zingyi Battalion, the most capable of fighting in the Southwest Frontier Army of Xia Kingdom, was also abolished.Although it is rebuilt now, there are mostly recruits, not as good as before, and King Qi sent people to pick up supplies and food.

They were not the most elite troops in the first place, and the forced march for several days made the soldiers of the Zing Wing Battalion exhausted. If it really aroused the tension of the refugees and made them charge into the army formation, they might not be able to last long.

Anyway, the current situation is still considered stable, but there is no rush.

To this, all the generals in the Wing Wing Battalion had no objection.

When the military order to stop the march and rest was issued, the soldiers who were on the verge of collapse all heard the sound of a fairy, and immediately stopped, slumped on the ground, panting heavily.

Zhu Dong explained a few more words to the generals under him, and then he took only a few trusted guards and went to investigate the surrounding situation in person.

Until the few people were far away from the army, Zhu Dong suddenly said in a deep voice:

"Didn't you say that there were already preparations there? As a result, there is nothing wrong with Huang'an County, but the army has already arrived. It is impossible to sit back and watch Huang'an County fall. Otherwise, what should I do?"

The person dressed as a soldier behind him raised his head slightly, pondered for a moment, and then said:

"General Zhu, please be safe and don't be impatient. For such a big event, you must be careful and don't let anyone take advantage of it after the fact..."

Hearing this, Zhu Dong tightened his grip on the horsewhip, raised his beard in anger, and cursed in a low voice:
"Proceed with caution? I was doing things for you at the risk of losing my head, but you told me to be careful? What about me, what should I do?"

Seeing that Zhu Dong was in a hurry, the person dressed as a soldier hurriedly said:

"General Zhu, please don't be anxious. I will be by the general's side, and I will inevitably not understand the situation... But please rest assured, general, I will urge the people below to do it. I will also plant people in Huang'an County, and it will be successful... ..."

The man paused and said softly:

"Please rest assured, the general, there will be a lot of wishes for the appointment of officials afterwards!"

Hearing what this person said, Zhu Dong's pupils shrank, and his throat moved subconsciously.

Thinking of the rewards promised to him by the people behind the scenes, Zhu Dong felt even more itchy.

"Okay, tomorrow night at the most, we can't delay any longer!"

Hearing this, the man lowered his head and smiled, saying:
"Please don't worry, general, maybe it will be successful tonight!"

Zhu Dong nodded, flicked his whip, and immediately steered the horse, turning his head and heading towards the camp.

And at this moment, outside the county seat of Huang'an County not far away.

Murong Fu, who was still dressed as the son of a graceful family, frowned suddenly when he saw the refugees kneeling in front of him.

Compared with the real refugees, although these people in front of them are also dressed in shabby clothes, they are all strong and strong, and they don't look like they are fleeing.

Between the brows of each one, there is even more a fierce atmosphere of the battlefield. What kind of refugees are there? It is even more believable to say that they are fierce soldiers killed on the battlefield!

"This is the person arranged by the general?" Murong Fu narrowed his eyes slightly and said in a deep voice.

The leader immediately raised his head, cupped his hands and shouted:
"Back to the second general, we are all soldiers of the old battalion, and we have already followed the general to fight for survival! The general asked us to come here, secretly mobilized the nearby refugees, and trapped the team transporting the supplies of the Great Xia court here. Then in the second The general's subordinates obey orders, and then bring down Huang'an County!"

Murong Fu looked at the old thief who was kneeling on the ground in front of him. Although he was dressed in shabby clothes, he had quite a murderous look. Hao Yuanhua's bold and square face couldn't help but flash in his mind.

A leader of the rebel army, but took advantage of the turmoil in the current situation to gain momentum.As a result, he got the route for Xia Guo's material delivery so early, and even set up a bureau in advance to wait here in Huang'an County.

This Hao Yuanhua, behind him, there must be someone secretly supporting and passing on information!
Seeing that Murong Fu didn't speak, the leader continued:
"The great general also said later that when the county seat of Huang'an County is captured, we people don't have to go back, and we will follow the second general. At that time, the second general can use Huang'an County's supplies to recruit refugees to form a rebel army. Shaoyang Let the second general attack the city of the county!"

Hearing this, Murong Fu's eyes lit up immediately.

Although he, the second general, sounds like he is under one person in the rebel army, but above ten thousand people.But in reality, he didn't have a single soldier under his command, so he was just an empty name.

It was Hao Yuanhua who saw his outstanding martial arts skills, and in order to draw him to his side, he sealed such a position.

And at this time, Hao Yuanhua's words gave him a chance to stand on his own?
Think about it carefully, Huang'an County is now hoarding so many supplies, when the time comes, use these things to attract the rebels to play the banner, and with the support of the sticky pole, Shaoyang County will be separated.And then use the water conservancy to attack everywhere, if the fate is in my Murong family, maybe there is a chance to occupy all the six counties in the southwest!

Thinking of this, Murong Fu couldn't help panting slightly.

Seeing this, Murong Fu no longer cared about the gorgeous clothes on his body, he hastily bent down and helped the group of thugs and old thieves up with his own hands, with a sincere expression on his face, he said:
"The general entrusted me with such a heavy task, I, Murong Fu, must not disappoint the general! I don't know how prepared you are now?"

"Nowadays outside Huang'an County, many refugees have lost their way of life and defected to us. At the beginning of the city, many of our people also mixed in, and they were all placed in important positions. We only wait for the order of the second general. Brothers can do it tonight!"

Important position?

In a city, it can be called an important position, how can it be filled as a refugee?After Hao Yuanhua died, there must be people from the court of Xia Kingdom supporting him!

Sure enough, it is God helping my Murong family, taking advantage of Hao Yuanhua's east wind, I will definitely be able to gain a foothold!In the future, if Hao Yuanhua is able to understand the interest, it is not a bad idea to allow him to be prosperous and rich just based on what he has done today...

Thinking of this, Murong Fu felt hot in his heart, and immediately said with pride:
"Okay, tonight I will go on stage with my brothers. Huang'an County will definitely be defeated!"

After agreeing on the time code for attacking the city tonight, all the rebel soldiers dispersed and hid themselves among the refugees.

After everyone left, the attendant behind Murong Fu suddenly said:

"Unexpectedly, those who secretly encouraged the people turned out to be the rebels of Anshun County!"

The one who dared to speak suddenly at this time was obviously not some of Murong Fu's followers.This person is the sticky stick arranged next to Murong Fu, and is used to contact and deliver news.

Hearing the person behind him speak, Murong Fu suddenly turned around and said in a deep voice:
"Sticker, you will help me! I am also from Yun Kingdom, and I am more willing to cooperate with you than a group of Xia Kingdom rebels!"

Hearing this, the guard at the sticky pole who was hiding his figure immediately grinned, nodded and said:
"Please don't worry, my lord. In this matter, we will definitely help with all our strength... After all, this is closely related to the black hats of all our guards at the sticking pole!"

Murong Fu didn't know Xiao Cheng's promise to Guo Xie, so naturally he didn't understand what it meant.But at this time, he had already been bloodied by the great ambitions he envisioned in his mind, and he no longer cared about these insignificant things.

He turned his head to look at Huang'an County, not far away, and the refugees who were dragged here in order to survive. There seemed to be a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood in his eyes.

In the county seat of Huang'an County, a handsome woman wearing a men's long gown with a cold brow was standing in the hall with her hands folded.

Zhouquan walked over quickly, nodded slightly to the woman, and said in a deep voice:

"Miss Heyin!"

This woman named He Yin is the maid who serves Yu Yingyao closely.As the one who has been sent to serve Yu Yingyao since she was twelve or thirteen years old, she is obviously Yu Yingyao's confidant who can be trusted until today.

This time, she delivered the secret letter about the matter in Huang'an County in person.

He Yin looked at Zhou Quan, nodded slightly, and said in a deep voice:
"How is it?"

"The embroidered envoys brought by the girl have been scattered into the city for strict investigation. Of the soldiers that I can mobilize, 400 people have gone out to take over the city defense, and the rest are all going to search for the spies!"

Having said that, Zhou Quan asked again:
"It's just a group of rioters... And this Huang'an County, the city has been closed for so long, how many people can they sneak in. Is it worth the girl's big fight?"

Huang'an County is only a county seat, so it can't compare to Zhongqing City and Jinling City.But in order to guard against ordinary martial arts people, the city wall is also ten feet high.

It's just a group of refugees, without siege equipment, it is impossible to threaten the supplies in the city at all!

After Zhou Quan knew that King Qi was able to purchase food and supplies from Yunguo, he was not as worried as before.He couldn't help but feel a little surprised at Heyin's violent actions.

He Yin heard the words, and explained solemnly:
"Miss said before that although they are just a group of refugees on the surface, there must be people behind the scenes behind the scenes! Now His Highness can obtain urgent supplies through Yunguo. The supplies are stuck here and cannot be moved, so it is not too serious. It is absolutely impossible for the people behind the scenes to expend such a lot of effort, and there must be someone behind!"

Yu Yingyao's vision of resourcefulness is really strong, just one glance, she is sure that the person behind this is still behind, so she sent her cronies to come to the town in person to help clean up the whole city comprehensively and avoid future troubles.

Hearing this, Zhou Quan was a little dubious in his heart.

But at this moment, he heard a rush of footsteps, and suddenly broke in.

A soldier clasped his fists and said:

"Commander, among the guards who were stationed in the southern city, two of them faced the Embroidered Clothes Envoy's investigation and arrest, and they attacked brazenly. One was killed immediately, and the next was captured!"

When Zhou Quan heard this, his eyes widened immediately, and he murmured:
"Really!"

When He Yin heard this, his brows became even colder. Matching the men's attire, at first glance, he was actually [-] to [-]% similar to that Yu Yingyao.

"Severe torture! There are definitely more than two secret spies in this city!"

"Yes!"

With an order, the embroidered envoys dispatched from Huang'an County, like eagles and dogs coming out of their cages, searched the city wantonly with their keen sense of smell.

Just as those Anshun County rebel soldiers were extremely conspicuous among the refugees, these people stood out among the county soldiers, and they could be recognized almost at a glance.

Because the county soldiers and guards are not frontier soldiers.One by one, there are people with high martial arts skills who join the army among the county soldiers, but there is still an essential difference from the fierce soldiers who fight with their heads on the battlefield.

And this point, for those shady hawk dogs of the embroiderers, is a fatal flaw that can be seen at a glance.

"Let go, why did you arrest me?"

"It's the bastards of the Embroidery Envoy, brothers, fighting with this group of scum who only know how to sneak up and plot!"

"Damn it, dead eagle dog, go to hell!"

The rebel spies who sneaked into the city, except for a few who were caught without a fight, most of them took action brazenly.

It's just that although they were all brave soldiers on the battlefield, they could only be wiped out one by one under the siege of a group of embroidered clothes envoys and King Qi's personal soldiers.

The leader of the embroidered clothing envoys flicked the blood on the knife, looked at the rebel spy who was still twitching on the ground, snorted coldly, turned around and was about to leave.

And at this moment, he suddenly caught a glimpse of a servant in the crowd.

This was a casual gesture, but he did keenly sense a familiar smell from the guard.

The smell of the same kind hiding in the dark, with bloody hands!
The next moment, his eyes narrowed, he pointed at the long knife in his hand, and said coldly:
"That person, come out!"
