Chapter 1482 Arriving at the fiefdom, Beiyang Army!

Outside Zhaojia Town.

Old Wu, whose beard was slightly graying, was pacing back and forth, looking anxious, because it was getting dark and he still hadn't seen the team coming to join him.

"Er Shunzi, do the scouts have any news?"

"Master Wu, we have sent out four groups to search in four directions. There is no news about His Highness and the others yet!"

"Send more people!"

"Follow me~"

"Gee, gee, gee~" More cavalrymen set out to explore everywhere.

This was effective. Soon Lao Wu got the news and rushed eastward with hundreds of people.

At this time, Li Chengru was in a tough battle. Even at the peak of the ninth rank, he was not invincible. Facing the siege of hundreds of people, although he was able to handle it with ease, it was still somewhat tricky.

He himself could run away, but hundreds of his loyal subordinates could not, and he was reluctant to leave behind these people whom he had trained for many years.

Li Zhongsi was covered in blood, and the knife in his hand was almost bent. After stabbing the enemy in front of him to death, he rushed over in one step.

He said anxiously: "Your Majesty, I will help you get out!"

"Pa~" He used his true energy to kill the assassin who wanted to sneak attack Niu Dali through the air.

"Don't be anxious. Why are you panicking? A few hundred people are nothing. Tell your brothers to be careful." Li Chengru waved a stick weighing hundreds of pounds and killed another person with quick hands and eyes. The guy was sneaking behind him and thought he didn't see him.

In fact, if the hundreds of people under his command were to risk their lives, they could also defeat the hundreds of enemies. However, there was no need to do so at this moment, as the losses would be too great.

Now that they are not far from Zhaojia Town, Lao Wu will soon get the news and come to support. By then, with the help of internal and external forces, these assassins can be caught in the trap at the lowest cost.

Soon the sound of horse hooves could be heard not far away!

"Drive~"

"Your Highness, I, Lao Wu, am here!"

"It's Master Wu~" Li Zhongsi wiped the blood off his face, grinned with his big teeth, and looked at his opponent who was also of the seventh rank.

"Damn it, it's finally here!" Li Chengru became excited instantly.

"Brothers, don't hold back, work together inside and outside to kill all these bastards. Don't take any prisoners this time or I'll have no food to give them!"

"Yes, sir~" The morale of the other guards was also boosted.

The sounds of shouting and weapons clashing could be heard continuously in this depression. The situation between the two sides was reversed in an instant. Hundreds of assassins found themselves surrounded and burst out with unprecedented fighting power.

Even though the people around him tried to stop him, Li Chengru still rushed forward himself and smashed the opponent's leading eighth-grade master into mud!
……

Half a month later, at Qizhou Prefecture, which is adjacent to Dongyi City on Dongshan Road, the soldiers guarding the city suddenly discovered cavalry attacking not far away, and they immediately rang the alarm bell on the building.

He roared, "Enemy attack!"

Qizhou is located on the border, and the soldiers here react faster than those inland. They closed the city gates in an instant, stood on guard on the city walls with weapons in hand, and the arrows emitted bursts of cold light.

"Yu~" Li Chengru reined in his horse not far away. Compared with before, his face was full of stubble and he looked at least ten years older.

The hundreds of soldiers behind him were also exhausted. They had narrowly escaped death along the way and encountered assassinations almost every day. Although all the guards were well-trained elites, nearly a hundred of them were injured. It was only a few days ago when they entered their own territory that they were able to relax a little. They rested for a night in Mizhou. Otherwise, they would be even more embarrassed than now, with blood all over their bodies and murderous aura rising to the sky. The tigers passing by would have to run away with their tails between their legs.

Lao Wu looked at the city gate tower in front of him and arranged for someone to deliver the letter in time, otherwise it would be a waste of time if he was shot to death by his own men.

"Your Highness, this is Qizhou. Luo Ying has already made arrangements for accommodation in advance. Miss Lili and the others are in the city now!"

"Well, there is a lot to be done in this vast world~"

In fact, although Li Chengru said this, he still felt a little uncomfortable in his heart. After all, since he was reborn, he has been living in the prosperous Kyoto.
However, according to his previous life, these territories of his should have been the Qi and Lu lands. Although not as rich as the Jiangnan area, they would not be so desolate.

However, this is an era tens of thousands of years later. Because this place is close to Dongyi City, it has been strategically abandoned by the Kingdom of Qing. Otherwise, Emperor Qing would not have agreed so easily.

When Emperor Qing led an expedition to Dongyi City, he almost reduced it to ruins, and it took more than 20 years for the place to recover.

All the capable people here have fled to other places. Mizhou, Haizhou, Chuzhou, and the largest Qizhou at present, all put together have less population than a single inland prefecture.

The four states have a total of 20 counties, with a total population of less than people, including men, women, old and young. It might have been even less before. If it weren't for the war between Qing and Northern Qi some time ago, and some refugees fled here, the number would be tens of thousands less.

Li Chengru was riding on a horse, looking at his desolate fiefdom and daydreaming, when the gate of Qizhou city opened and several generals rode towards him quickly.

He dismounted and knelt on one knee: "Your Highness, please forgive me. I didn't know you were here. I deserve death for not welcoming you."

"Li Hu!" Li Chengru dismounted, held the hand of the man in front of him and helped him up. Looking at the Qizhou commander who still respected him, a look of satisfaction appeared in his eyes.

This is the layout of that year!

The reason why these four states were taken was that the military and political leaders of these states, from top to bottom, had been replaced by their own people without anyone noticing.

Tianshang Renjian was a den of money, and all the money he earned was spent on this. Not only did he have hundreds of guards behind him, he also secretly trained 30,000 elite soldiers in Qizhou.

Li Hu was once a beggar. When Li Chengru was 13 years old and had just started his own government, he saw that this boy had great potential, so he brought him to his government and trained him carefully.

Although he is a little clumsy in training, he is an expert in marching and deploying troops. He invited many veteran generals to teach him according to his aptitude. He was sent to the border army for training when he was 15 years old. Now, after 9 years, he has become the commander of Qizhou.

The same is true for the other three states. These talents are Li Chengru's real backup. With 3 elite troops in his hands, he can do whatever he wants as long as Emperor Qing does not come in person or directly send 10 troops.

Everyone else was fearless. If there were less than 3 troops, they would simply be coming to die. Because among their 3 elite troops, there were 3 cavalry. In the era of cold weapons, cavalry was king!
"Your Highness, please enter the city quickly. I will send someone to inform Lao Zhao and the others~"

"Okay!" Li Chengru mounted the horse and tapped its belly with his foot.

"Drive~"

The first thing to do after entering the city is not to go home, but to come to the army camp to let these soldiers know who their real master is!
There are 15,000 troops stationed in Qizhou, including 3,000 elite cavalry!
The remaining 12,000 people were stationed in the other three states. In fact, they had only recently come here to change guard. Before that, in order to hide themselves, these tens of thousands of people had been divided into small groups and hidden in various places on Dongshan Road.

They trained secretly in the guises of escort agents, horse thieves, mountain bandits, etc., waiting for the opportunity.

The moment Li Hu left the city, he had already sent people to the camp, so when Li Chengru came on horseback, tens of thousands of soldiers stood silently in the parade ground.

"Your Majesty, the entire Beiyang Army has assembled, please review it!
"Greetings, His Majesty!" Led by Li Hu, all the soldiers shouted, and the deafening sound echoed throughout the city.

That’s right, it’s the Beiyang Army.

This is also Li Chengru's little hobby. It just so happens that his title is Prince of Ningyang, and his territory happens to be in the north.
