Chapter 989 Understanding Qi Wangjian [Please subscribe*Please vote]

After hurrying for a long time, Li Ren finally arrived at the city of Linzi with his blood-stained cavalry.

"His Majesty!"

When Yan Yan raised his eyes, he saw the shiny head of a bare-chested man with a bramble on his back.

Behind Li Ren were dozens of generals who looked just like him, all with bare chests and carrying whips on their backs.

As high-ranking officials of the Bingzhou State Military Office and the military, they have brought great disgrace upon themselves this time and will be laughed at by others for the rest of their lives.

They could even imagine how the historians would record them.

"You have to shoulder the thorny stick to beg for forgiveness!" Yan Yan looked at everyone with amusement, and did not let them stand up.

He respects and trusts these people, but if they make mistakes they should be punished.

That’s tens of thousands of soldiers and tens of thousands of families.

If there is no punishment, Bingzhou laws will be a dead letter.

"As the commander of the army, if you lose soldiers, you will be caned 100 times. The rest of the officers will be caned 50 times. All of them will be demoted by one rank and punished by six months."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Li Ren and others did not have any dissatisfaction.

This is the lightest punishment.

If it were any other prince, it would not only be a demotion and punishment, but he might even face imprisonment.

Yan Yan came in person not only to save those bewitched Blood Cavalry soldiers, but also to save these Blood Cavalry generals.

"The war is imminent, so the caning will be postponed for now. I want you to retake Linzi within three days. Do you have any objection?" Yan Yan also gave Li Ren and his party a chance to make amends.

If he had not wanted to give Li Ren and his party a chance to make amends, he would have ordered an attack on the city when he instigated the Wangji garrison to rebel.

"If you don't take Linzi within three days, we will bring your heads to you!" Li Ren had no objection and issued a military order directly.

After the Battle of Ruoshui, he was known as the best general of the time. Who could have thought that he would fail in the Qi State, which had no military preparations? This was a shame for him and also a shame for the Blood Cavalry under his command.

And the shame must be washed away by a great victory.

“Go!” Yan Yan placed the Seven Star Dragon Abyss heavily on Li Ren’s hands.

Li Ren took a deep breath and took the Seven Star Dragon Abyss.

This is Yan Yan's personal sword, it cannot be fake. It also means that in this great battle, he is still the main commander of all the armies.

Naturally, he would not dare to betray such trust.

Li Ren stood up, took Qixing Longyuan out of the king's tent, and returned to his own military headquarters.

"I don't want to say anything more. This is our shame. Thank you for your trust, Your Majesty!"

"Now, pass on my order. Camp A will seize Shicao, Shenjiaqiao, and Baituqiu before dawn tomorrow. Camp B will seize Dafudian and Zibo River. Camp C will seize Niushan, Weihe, Gaoyang, and Lushan. Camp D will go to the Qi Mausoleum and make sure to protect the safety of the King of Qi's tomb. Before dark tomorrow, I will completely return all the villages outside Linzi to our hands!"

Li Ren did not mobilize the garrison troops of the royal city, but only mobilized the 30,000 blood cavalry who returned with him.

"Yes!" No one had any objection and they all held their breath.

It was a good opportunity to make money, and it was agreed that they were here to gild their resumes. With Bingzhou's top general Li Ren leading the team, basically everyone would be promoted after returning. Who would have thought that such a disaster would occur.

"I know you all have traveled day and night to get here, and you are all tired, but this is our last chance. Please hold on for three more days. Please!" Li Ren bowed and looked at the captains.

"We have to take back the lost honor with our own hands!" The captains shook their heads and left the camp directly after receiving the military order. The Bingzhou Blood Riders had never suffered such a big loss before.

This revenge must be avenged personally.

Therefore, the Blood Cavalry only rested for less than two hours at the army base, and then rushed to the mission site overnight according to the military orders they received.

Because of the rebellion of the Wangji garrison, there were not many troops stationed in the villages outside Linzi at the time. Moreover, Yan Yan had already ordered to cut off the communication between Linzi and the outside world, so the Blood Cavalry did not encounter much obstacles in conquering various places in Wangji.

Even many people in the royal capital haven't figured out what happened yet. With the same standard equipment and the same big flags, it's too difficult to tell who is who.

Therefore, although conquering the royal capital was called a major battle, it was actually a day of rest for the Blood Knights who had traveled day and night to warm up before the major battle.

After completely recovering the Linzi royal capital, Li Ren's order came again, requiring each camp to leave some soldiers to guard the city, while the rest rushed to the outskirts of Linzi to launch a full-scale attack on the city.

The defenders in Linzi City were not the Blood Knights. After all, it was the royal city and the base camp of the rebels. Naturally, they would not trust the bewitched Blood Knights.

This is also the only army that the rebels have.

It is not quite appropriate to call them an army. It would be more accurate to say that they are the private armies of these rebels, including their own warriors, death squads, retainers, and family generals.

Although they are currently under the unified command of the newly appointed King of Qi, Tian Dan, in reality, Tian Dan can probably command less than a hundred people.

These are a group of miscellaneous soldiers with confusing origins.

Although there are a lot of people and they have strong individual combat capabilities, there is no unified command.

"Your Majesty, news has come from Linzi City that the new King of Qi, Tian Dan, was assassinated, and Tian Jia, a relative of the Tian family, took over the rebel alliance." Mo Ya suddenly brought a shocking news.

"?" Yan Yan was stunned for a moment, "When did it happen?"

"Three days ago, it was probably the day when we instigated the royal garrison to rebel!" Mo Ya said with a complicated expression.

"Okay!" Yan Yan didn't think much about anything else.

Who knows who would have done this? Besides, this King of Qi has no legitimate reason and is not recognized by any other princes, so his power is not counted.

"Your Majesty, secret report from Linzi!" Before Mo Ya could leave, Bai Feng walked in with a letter of the latest intelligence.

"Three days ago, Tian Dan died, and Tian Jia took over Linzi. However, the day before yesterday, Tian Dan's men killed Tian Jia in the street, and Tian Shi took over the affairs of Linzi. Then yesterday, Tian Shi also died. Tian Du, Tian Guang, Tian Rong, and Tian Heng were dissatisfied with each other and occupied the four major markets of Linzi: Jingxin, Duanzhi, Renyi, and Anding respectively."

"Huh?" Yan Yan was really stunned.

Mo Ya also stared at Bai Feng blankly, somewhat unable to believe his ears.

In other words, in just three days, Linzi changed one, two, three... eight owners.

"Is it really that fancy?" Mo Ya couldn't help but speak out.

"I finally understand King Jian of Qi!" Yan Yan sighed.

Originally, he thought that Prince Jian of Qi was a man of great talent but had no sense of responsibility. When faced with problems, he only wanted to protect himself and chose to escape. Therefore, he looked down on Prince Jian of Qi to some extent in his heart.

But now, within three days, with a powerful enemy at the doorstep, Tian Shi was able to change Linzi's masters eight times.

This is simply unimaginable. The mahjong wheel rims are not changed as frequently as they are.

With the Tian family in this state, who can save the State of Qi?

Don't give up and keep some dignity for yourself. What are you struggling for?
