Martial Arts: I am in the Ming Cult and I am building a dynasty

The young general felt his anger igniting his entire heart, and roared, "Little pretty boy, my grandfather's name is Pan Liu, the eldest son of the Pan family, how dare you do this to me..."

puff!

The tip of the sword pierced into Pan Liu's heart.

Yang Zhao looked at Pan Liu as if he were trash, then turned to look at the other people in the tent, and said sternly, "Yun Zhao, Tian Xi, bring the Nine Sun Guards and two thousand men to exterminate the Pan family, leaving no one alive. Anyone who stands in our way will be executed for treason."

"promise!"

The two brothers Wu Yunzhao and Wu Tianxi smiled grimly, responded, and quickly put on armor and held swords and left the camp.

Wait until the brothers Wu Yunzhao and Wu Tianxi leave.

Yang Zhao didn't say another word, sat back at the head of the table, and started drinking by himself.

However, it was this kind of situation that made the high-ranking officials of the Imperial Guards, who were originally extremely arrogant, turn pale and their legs tremble.

After more than half an hour.

The sound of armor crunching was heard outside the tent. Wu Yunzhao, covered in blood and carrying a hideous and terrifying head, came into the general's tent.

"Sir, all 353 members of the Pan family have been killed. This is the head of the Pan family's master."

As Wu Yunzhao spoke, heads fell to the ground and rolled around.

Many of the high-ranking imperial guards present were young men from various families in Bianjing City who were sent to the imperial guards to seek benefits and gild their reputations. Naturally, they knew the face of the head of the Pan family.

Upon seeing this head, some of the high-ranking members of the Imperial Guards were so frightened that they wet their pants.

No one expected that Yang Zhao would act so ruthlessly and aggressively.

With just one sentence, the Pan family, a military family that had stood in Bianliang, the capital of the Song Dynasty, for two hundred years, was completely wiped out.

Wait until everyone has "admired" the head of the head of the Pan family.

Yang Zhao just stood up again, looking fiercely at the people who had mocked him before, and said coldly: "Who can report the names of these people and who is behind them?"

Pan Liu had also been asked the same question by Yang Zhao before.

And then, the entire Pan family was gone.

After hearing Yang Zhao's words, the high-ranking officials of the imperial guards could no longer hold back and knelt down on the spot, with snot and tears streaming down their faces. They kowtowed to Yang Zhao frantically and admitted their mistakes.

"Sir, we know we were wrong. We know we were wrong."

"Aye, I am willing to give you half of my wealth, just begging you to let me go."

"Master Zhao, this has nothing to do with us. It's Gao Qiu. Yes, it was that villain Gao Qiu who ordered us to do this!"

"Master Zhao, killing us will be detrimental to your control over the Imperial Guards..."

A group of young heroes of the Song Dynasty who were once arrogant are now crying more miserably than anyone else.

Yang Zhao looked at these people sternly, with a cruel smile on his face, and said: "Where do you think this place is? What is the situation now?"

"This is the Song army camp. There are 80,000 fierce Jin soldiers besieging the city. Are you going to make trouble with me?"

"Yun Zhao, gather all the people and kill these people and the families behind them."

"Tianxi, go to Gao Qiu's house and bring his entire family to me. Don't even leave a dog behind."

Wu Yunzhao responded and left.

Wu Tianxi smiled innocently and said, "Sir, Gao Qiu is still in the palace. It's not easy to deal with him!"

Yang Zhao glared at Wu Tianxi and said, "Then go and tell Madam to take you into the palace. I must take Gao Qiu's life tonight. If the old emperor stops me, I will send him to death in advance."

Yang Zhao's words made the other people in the general's tent tremble.

Chapter 226: Sort out the internal situation and start counterattack

Overnight, the eight once-powerful military families in the entire Song Dynasty's Bianliang city were uprooted and killed.

What's more, Zhao Shirong broke into the palace at night and dragged Gao Qiu to Caishikou in front of Zhao Ji.

Heads fell one after another, and no one in Bianliang, the capital of the Song Dynasty, dared to resist in the slightest.

In fact, with Yang Zhao's means, there are countless ways to seize military power, and there is no need for such a drastic method.

However, at this time, the Jin army besieged the city, and Zhao Ji was frightened and joined forces to fight against the foreign enemies.

Now is a good time to take drastic measures to clean up the corrupt high-ranking officials in the entire city of Bianjing.

Ninety percent of the high-ranking officers of the 300,000 imperial guards were killed, and a small half of the middle-ranking officers were also beheaded. Some of the imperial guards who had been trained under Cao Wei, Zong Ze, Yue Fei and others quickly rose to power.

Especially with 80,000 Jin troops outside the city watching covetously, the city was under tremendous pressure.

Earth-shaking changes are constantly taking place within the Imperial Guards.

at the same time.

Under the guidance of Qiao Feng, Yan Nantian and others, with the Nine Yang Guards and the Five Elements Flags, and under the guidance of the Six Bats Hall, they began to frantically clean up the evil gangs in the city of Bianjing.

No one, whether in the court or in the martial arts world, dared to raise the slightest objection to this kind of killing.

Even the Six Gates, under the leadership of the Three Wonders of the Universe, completely surrendered to the Princess's Mansion. Relying on the intelligence accumulated over the years and cooperating with the Kaifeng Prefecture, they continuously cleared out corrupt officials and wealthy families in the city of Bianjing.

Even the Shenhou Mansion, which was the most fair in the past, closed its doors to visitors.

At the Caishikou in the city of Bianjing, wave after wave of heads were chopped off.

At the beginning, the people in Bianjing City were still a little scared and terrified, but they saw that those who were beheaded were those who oppressed the people on a daily basis.

Almost immediately, the people of the entire Bianjing city were in an uproar.

Especially after dozens of unscrupulous grain merchants who hoarded grain were executed along with their entire families, and grain was released at a fair price under the auspices of the Princess's Mansion, countless people in Bianliang City spontaneously participated in the city's defense.

Just two days.

More than 70% of the gentry and merchants in the entire city of Bianjing who had been domineering and corrupt in the past were killed.

This wave alone, the gold, silver and grain mixed in, was enough to cover the annual tax revenue of the Song Dynasty for more than ten years.

During this period of time, the Jin troops outside the city were also cursing.

The Jin army was very clumsy in building siege equipment and they did not have much food supplies. Even those who went out to plunder only brought back very little food.

Just a short time difference.

It was only two days and three nights, but Yang Zhao used it to the fullest.

On the third day of the Jin army's siege, the violent and furious Jin soldiers could no longer hold back and began to attack the city of Bianjing. They were as ferocious as hungry wolves, bears and tigers.

Fortunately, after a very short period of adjustment.

Although the original 300,000 imperial guards still seemed to be incompetent, they were able to hold on under the strong suppression of the generals under Yang Zhao.

As the war began, the killing in the city gradually stopped.

It has to be said that the Jin army, which had just emerged from the White Mountains and Black Waters a few decades ago, was really ferocious to the extreme. Every soldier was like a tiger or a wolf. They did not cultivate true energy, but only trained their physical bodies. On this battlefield, every Jin soldier could fight ten enemies at once.

Such an elite and fierce army, even if not as good as the Five Elements Flag, is not much worse.

"Kill!"

"Erlangs, charge into the city and don't put down your swords for three days."

"Kill with me."

On the top of the city wall of Bianjing, Yang Zhao inspected the battlefield. Looking at the ferocious and endless Jin soldiers, he felt a little heavy in his heart.

The 100,000-strong army led by Wanyan Zongmou are almost all physical beings in the form of acquired nature.

There is no doubt that it is one of the top elite armies in the entire Jin Dynasty.

Above them, perhaps there are only two top elite troops, Tiefutu and Guaizima, under Wanyan Aguda.

The new country is indeed powerful.

In contrast, in the Song Dynasty, which had been established for two hundred years, the most powerful Panlong Army under Emperor Taizu Zhao Kuangyin had completely disappeared, the generals were in decline, and the military preparedness was slackened.

The imperial guards of the Song Dynasty, which were rampant 150 years ago, were extremely rubbish.

Whoosh!

An arrow as thick as a thumb broke through the air and flew towards Yang Zhao.

The arrow was shredded by the strong energy.

But Yang Zhao, who was immersed in thought, was also awakened. He looked in the direction where the arrow came from, and saw a general with dirty braids and silver armor in the Jin army making a provocative gesture of cutting Yang Zhao's throat.

The Jin Dynasty should be destroyed, and all foreign races should be destroyed.

Yang Zhao glanced at the silver-armored general and did not fight back, but a strong, domineering and terrifying murderous intent had already arisen in his heart.

"Pengju, you lead the Five Elements Flags and charge outside the city to capture a few prisoners and find out the identity of the silver-armored general."

"Yun Zhao, Tian Xi, you two lead the Nine Sun Guards to coordinate and make sure the Jin army doesn't take advantage of the situation."

After explaining everything.

Yang Zhao inspected the city walls again before returning to Bianjing.

With the help of the threats from the Liao and Jin armies, the corruption and troublemakers within the Song Dynasty have been almost cleared out. It is time to completely annihilate these foreign races.

After this wave of war is over, the military equipment of the Song Dynasty must be upgraded.

Western Shu, Northern Liang, Liao, Jin, and Mongolia were all great threats.

Without sufficient military support, the Song Dynasty was just a huge piece of fat meat in the eyes of these forces.

Failure to eliminate the hidden dangers around the Song Dynasty.

Even if Zhao Shirong ascended the throne, Yang Zhao was still unwilling to leave the Song Dynasty and go to the Sui Dynasty.

Return to the princess’s residence.

With the assistance of Zhao Shirong and Yan Fei, Yang Zhao first learned some intelligence and information from Cao Wei, Di Qing, Zong Ze and others. After that, he quickly issued the order to counterattack.

The eighth day of the siege of Song Dynasty's Bianjing.

Cao Wei, who was far away in Hedong Road, was the first to launch a counterattack against the 150,000 Liao troops.

As the son of Cao Bin, the most famous general of the former Song Dynasty, Cao Wei's ability to command troops and fight wars was also among the best in the entire Song Dynasty.

A series of military tactics including plundering food supply routes, attacking camps at night, luring the tiger away from the mountain, and making a feint to the east and attacking in the west.

When Cao Wei used this tactic, the 150,000 Liao troops in the entire Hedong Road were quickly fooled.

With Yanmen Pass, Datong Prefecture and the eight passes of Taihang Mountain blocked, the 150,000 Liao troops had no way to escape.

In just a few days, 150,000 Liao troops collapsed.

at the same time.

In Zhending Prefecture in the north of Hebei West Road, Zong Ze's 50,000 northern border troops, which had been suppressed and hidden for a long time, began to move, attacking Xingzhou, Jizhou and other places, preparing to block the Jin army's retreat.

For a time, the war in the Song Dynasty, which had been in a mess, was miraculously reversed.

Chapter 227 Wanyan Zongwang realizes he has been tricked

The attack and defense of Bianjing City lasted less than half a month, and the situation changed.

There was no Zhao Ji, Gao Qiu and the corrupt generals holding the family back.

Under the strong suppression and rectification by Yang Zhao, Yue Fei, Wu Yunzhao, Wu Tianxi and others, and with the help of pressure from the Jin army, the 300,000 imperial guards, which had been rotten like mud, began to be reborn.

In order to avoid losing too much manpower as much as possible.

Yang Zhao did not pile all the more than 300,000 imperial guards on the city walls at once. Instead, he rotated these soldiers, allowing them to be tempered in blood and fire while maintaining sufficient physical strength. He did not seek to kill the enemy, but only to awaken the bloodiness and courage of these soldiers.

Although the more than 300,000 imperial guards suffered heavy losses under the brutal attack of the Jin army, it was still within Yang Zhao's tolerance.

Half a month's time.

By the time deep winter arrived, intelligence from Hedong Road and Zhending Prefecture had also reached the top brass of the Jin army.

The Jin army camp.

Led by Wanyan Zongmou and Wanyan Zongbing as his deputy, dozens of fierce generals all gathered together in a noisy manner.

"Second Prince, Fourth Prince, why are you holding another stupid meeting out of nowhere?"

"That's right, my men are about to charge onto the city walls and into Bianjing."
