I am the prince in the heavens

Chapter 166
Not long after the restoration of Western Chu.

The entire Guangling Road is becoming more and more rotten. Under the excellent command of the Xichu Shuangbi Kou Jianghuai and Xie Xizhen, the Jizhou Army led by Yang Shenxing and his son can be said to be retreating steadily. The [-] Spring and Autumn veterans lost nearly half. The [-] cavalry were almost half disabled.The main general Lu Shengxiang was also helpless, and the remaining strength of King Guangling was also ready to move.

Zhao Kai knew that the current situation in Guangling Road was actually caused by Zhao Dun and Yuan Benxi's previous planning, in order to weaken the strength of the various feudal lords, and at the same time catch Zhao Bing in southern Xinjiang, and calm down the whole country in one fell swoop. In the south, the future troubles will never be eliminated.

This kind of plan is not ingenious, but Zhao Kai, who knows the ins and outs of the matter, knows that it is okay to use Xichu as bait to catch such idiots as Zhao Xun and Zhao Ying. It is impossible to catch Zhao Bing, and maybe he will. Play yourself in.

If you want to fish, you need a bigger bait.

Hence, the new emperor, Zhao Kai, disregarded the obstruction of his ministers, and made a bold decision to personally lead an army of [-] troops from the Gyeonggi Province, and to march in person!Pacify Xichu!
As soon as the news came out, the world was shocked.

The name of a person, the shadow of a tree, although Zhao Kai has never had the experience of leading troops to fight, no one would think that he is a mediocrity.Even if he really doesn't know how to lead the army, it is still a big killer on the battlefield. You know, when Zhao Kai was in Beimang before, he killed [-] cavalry by himself.

Now, not only Xichu, but even Zhao Bing in Southern Xinjiang became a little nervous.

There are a total of 20 troops in Gyeonggi, this time Zhao Kai took away only [-], and the military adviser under his tent was not a famous person, but Zhang Bianguan, the third son of Zhang Julu, a man who did not have a good reputation in the capital. They don't even have any experience in leading troops to fight, and the lieutenants are also fledgling young people!

If it wasn't Zhao Kai who led the team, it would be difficult for these veterans to be restrained by just these few people.

Before leaving, Zhao Kai held a grand military parade in Tai'an City, and then, under the eyes of millions of people in Tai'an City, he put on a brand-new armor, and was greeted by a million voices, before heading south!Bingfeng pointed directly at Guangling Road!
The [-] army, not too much, not too little, formed a team that stretched for several miles. Since they had to go to the affluent Jiangnan before, they didn't have too many food, grass and heavy supplies. Not slow.

Although Tai'an City is thousands of miles away from Guangling Road, with such a march, the army arrived at the headquarters of the Liyang Army, Wuling City, in less than ten days.

When he arrived in Wuling City, Zhao Kai realized that the matter was far more serious than he had imagined. All the veterans who participated in the war against Western Chu were still following the old style of fighting. Military exploits, completely disobedient to the command of the chief general Lu Shengxiang, fighting on their own.

Under the endless tactics of the double walls of Western Chu, there was no resistance, and even the shadow of the enemy general was not seen. Several important cities were lost successively, and the army of more than 6 was lost by nearly half. The remaining troops are only more than [-].

Now half of Guangling Road has been controlled by Western Chu. Relying on the popularity of Guangling Road, Western Chu has quickly attracted a lot of Qingzhuang, and the number of soldiers who can fight is growing rapidly, and it has already exceeded 15. , this does not include the navy.

Liyang's navy in Guangling Road was almost completely wiped out, and there were not many boats to go into the water. It's no wonder, because they were facing Cao Changqing from Western Chu!Over the years, the Guangling navy had already been infiltrated by Western Chu and was given to Cao Changqing as a wedding dress.

Cao Changqing sits in command of the navy and confronts Liyang with the Guangling River as a natural danger.

The army commander is commanded by Xie Xizhen, with one water and one land, almost indestructible.Kou Jianghuai, like a guerrilla general, appears and disappears everywhere, intercepting reinforcements from all over the place.

The situation in the restoration of the Western Chu Kingdom is very good. The occupied land is close to half of the original Western Chu. There are also naval forces stationed on the Guangling River, making it difficult for Liyang to cross the river. There is a hidden danger that the south of the Guangling River is not the West The Chu family dominates, and there is also an extremely powerful King Yanchi.

In addition, in the upper reaches of the Guangling River, there is still this Qingzhou navy that can only compete with the West Chu navy.

The current situation is not too complicated. To the south of the Guangling River, the two families of Western Chu and Southern Xinjiang are almost equally divided. To the north of the Guangling River, the lower reaches of Liyang dominate. Chen Zhibao, who had just gained a firm foothold in Sichuan.

There is still a part of Guangling Road that is occupied by the remnant forces of Guangling King Zhao Yi, relying on natural dangers to garrison, or secretly destroying.In the current Guangling Road, Liyang no longer has much advantage.

Fortunately, among the major forces, except for Xichu, everyone else obeys Li Yang, but what is the real thought in the heart?I don't know

In Wuling City, inside the main account of the Liyang army, Zhao Kai looked cold, and kneeling in front of him were several generals who were over half a century old. These people looked downcast, and there were bloodstains on their clothes, obviously they had just suffered a defeat.

"After all, you are old men who have fought for decades. Don't you feel ashamed that you can't even beat a few young people?
Not to mention the loss of soldiers and generals, and handing over half of Guangling Dao to Xichu, what are you doing for food!
As a general, if you don't obey the command of the master general, where will your general law be placed!

And Lu Shengxiang, you are the commander-in-chief of the army, is this how you lead your subordinates? "

Lu Shengxiang was also suffering. These people are all veterans, relying on their military exploits to rely on their veterans to sell them, so he couldn't help it.

The incompetence of the first general exhausted the three armies to death. Even though he had predicted it in advance, Zhao Kai still couldn't hide the anger in his heart.

"Come here, drag these black sheep out, and give them fifty sticks! One set of military discipline!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone's faces turned pale. They were all elderly people over half a century old, and these fifty army sticks almost killed them.

Even the chief general Lu Shengxiang couldn't help pleading:

"Your Majesty, think twice! Although Old General Yang and the others are at fault, but they are based on their achievements in the past, let them be spared this time! Besides, it is time for employing people, please ask your Majesty to let them make up for their mistakes, and wait for the war to end. It’s not too late to deal with it later!”

"I finally understand why they dare to be so disrespectful. The root cause is you, the general. Let me ask you, if you don't deal with them today, will these tens of thousands of soldiers die in vain?"

Although Zhao Kai has never led soldiers before, he also knows what military orders are like mountains. Generals who do not obey the orders of the general will only kill more people on the battlefield. Besides, most of these so-called military achievements are bought from Xu Xiao with money, otherwise It wouldn't be so stupid.

Afterwards, screams resounded throughout the camp, and several generals were directly beaten into cripples, and then they were directly dismissed without any sympathy.

The leading general Lu Shengxiang was directly demoted three ranks in a row, and all the more than 6 troops were under the command of Zhao Kai and military division Zhang Bianguan.In addition to Jiang Fuding and other newly promoted generals, many generals in the army instantly changed to young faces.

Including the 10,000 that Zhao Kai brought over, it counts to [-]+, which is considered a powerful force in today's guang'ling.

What's more, Zhao Kai alone can reach an army of [-]!
