The Reborn Lao Tzu Is the Emperor

Chapter 828
After more than ten days, it will be the end of March.

The spring breeze is warm.

Before the Xin Song army and the Dali army had arrived at the border of the Great Song Dynasty, the [-] troops of the Yue Li Dynasty, who only played the role of fighting the autumn wind, had already arrived in Guangnan West Road.

As expected, they did not surprise Zhao Dongting, they did not enter the Gong Temo Road in the northwest direction, but directly marched towards the territory of Yongzhou.

At this time, Liu Hongyi, who had received a letter from Zhao Dongting's flying pigeons in Jingjiang Mansion, led the army and had not yet arrived in Yongzhou.Only arrived in Yizhou.

Zhu Hecong, Zhu Haiwang and others have already arrived in Yongzhou city.

But in Yongzhou City, there are only 2000 defenders at this time.

Regarding the borders of the Great Song Dynasty, Hengshanzhai, Yongzhou, Temo Road, and Ziqi along the borders of the Yueli Dynasty and Dali are undoubtedly the weakest defenses.

All because there are too many ethnic minorities entrenched here.However, these ethnic groups never really took refuge in the Song court.

This can be seen from the fact that Zhao Bing was able to win over so many leaders when he rebelled last time.

Although Zhang Jue was invincible that time, many tribes did not dare to look up.But after he withdrew, the tribes continued to go their own way.

They are used to this kind of life where the sky is high and the emperor is far away. Many policies of Zhao Dongting have not been implemented here at all, and they have not been able to gain much support from the people.

The current Yongzhou territory can also be said to be devastated.

The Yongzhou magistrate of the new sect of the Song Dynasty was able to get the number of defenders to reach [-] in just over half a year after the Yongzhou Rebellion passed.Of course, this is also thanks to the support of Yizhou, Binzhou and other state capitals next to Yongzhou. Otherwise, given the current situation in Yongzhou, it may be difficult to support even [-] guards.

This place is poor, which is completely different from Changsha.

The city is cold, and there are not many people in sight.Looking around, there are not many houses that can attract people's attention.

At this time, Zhu Haiwang, Zhu Hecong and others were all in the lobby of Yongzhou government office.

Mao Xingyan, magistrate of Yongzhou, and several main officials of Yongzhou accompanied him.Although Zhu Haiwang and Zhu Hecong were young, Mao Xingyan and the others did not dare to neglect the position of deputy commander.

After inquiring about the current situation in Yongzhou, Zhu Haiwang and the others looked unhappy.

The last time Guangwang Zhao Bing caused chaos in Yongzhou, it really hindered the development of Yongzhou.Let Yongzhou now look like loose sand.

The entire Yongzhou, such a large territory.Except for Yongzhou City, Taiping Village, Yongping Village, and Guwan Village, none of them were under the control of the Song court.

That is to say, although Mao Xingyan is the magistrate of the state, the territory he governs and the army he controls are actually similar to those of a mere district magistrate.

There are a total of [-] defenders, of which Yongzhou and Taiping, Yongping, and Guwan villages each have no more than [-].With this little force, it is very difficult to deal with the tribes that rebel against Qiufeng from time to time.

This made Zhu Haiwang and others only hope that Liu Hongyi could bring enough soldiers to come.The Yongzhou defenders are obviously unreliable.

But at this moment, suddenly, some soldiers rushed to the main hall of the magistrate's government office.

As soon as he ran into the lobby, he didn't even bother to kneel down and shouted: "Lord Zhizhou, it's a disaster, it's a disaster."

"Ok?"

Mao Xingyan frowned suddenly, and asked, "Why are you so panicked?"

He still has some official authority and a slight murderous look.Before being transferred to this Yongzhou as the magistrate, he was the deputy general of the garrison in Jingjiang Mansion.

Dong Zhen, the transshipment envoy of Guangnan West Road, sent him, a military general, to be the magistrate of Yongzhou, so he had no hope that he could suppress those tribes with strong means, just like Qiongzhou.

It's a pity that Mao Xingyan has not had time to flex his muscles in this Yongzhou, and he has not even had time to clean up the mess, and now he is fighting again.

The soldiers who ran into the hall swallowed heavily, and said, "There is a report from flying pigeons that the [-] troops of Yue Li Chao are less than [-] miles away from my Taiping Village!"

Mao Xingyan's face changed drastically, "It's less than fifty miles away?"

The soldier gasped and said, "This... I'm afraid there will be a fight at this time."

Communication is inconvenient these days, and the whereabouts of the army are not so easy to track when they are on the way.

Take this Yongzhou as an example, Taiping Village is the closest village bordering the Yueli Dynasty.However, it is impossible for the defenders in the village to keep sentries hundreds of miles away.

It is not easy to set up a beacon tower fifty miles away. After all, the Taipingzhai is the territory of those tribes.

They may not allow the soldiers of the Song Dynasty to set up camp in their territory.

Mao Xingyan's expression changed again and again, as the general's arrogance was manifested at this time, he shouted: "Assemble the soldiers and horses! Prepare to go out with the government!"

"slow!"

Zhu Haiwang stopped in time at the side, "There are only five hundred soldiers in Yongzhou City, so I'm afraid it won't help."

Mao Xingyan asked urgently: "Can we just let the five hundred brothers in Taiping Village be killed by Yue Li Chao monkey?"

He also didn't care about Zhu Haiwang being the deputy commander.

Zhu Haiwang glanced at Mao Xingyan, a little cold, "Even if you lead five hundred guards forward, can you save them? Can you make it in time?"

Mao Xingyan's face turned red, but he didn't know what to say.

Yes, what can the five hundred defenders do?

And maybe Taipingzhai has been destroyed by now.

It is about two hundred miles from Taipingzhai to Yongzhou, including the time it took for Taipingzhai to send messages to Yongzhou.No matter what happened, the army of Yue Li Dynasty had already arrived at Taiping Village.

Mao Xingyan was dull for a few seconds, then said anxiously and angrily: "The handsome guy, what do you think we should do now?"

Zhu Haiwang glanced at Zhu Hecong, and said, "Brother, let's lead the army to the ancient Wanzhai now, should there be time?"

Zhu Hecong said: "Yongzhou is closer to the ancient Wanzhai than Taipingzhai is to the Guwanzhai, so there should be time."

Zhu Haiwang looked at Mao Xingyan again, "Mao Zhizhou, since Mr. Dong asked you to come to town this Yongzhou, can you distribute enough weapons for you?"

Mao Xingyan was slightly taken aback, and then quickly replied: "There are a lot of rioters in Yongzhou. Since I came here, Master Dong and General Liu have indeed given me a lot of weapons. There are thunderbolts and dragon guns."

He suddenly showed some embarrassment, "It's just that I haven't even recruited enough defenders these days, and these firearms are still piled up in the arsenal."

"Ok!"

Zhu Haiwang nodded heavily, "Then immediately call your soldiers and take out these firearms. Then follow me to Guwanzhai."

Mao Xingyan looked at Zhu Haiwang, a little suspicious, "Is the deputy commander planning to defend Gu Wanzhai to the death?"

Knowing Zhu Haiwang's background, he inevitably looked down upon Zhu Haiwang.

Zhu Haiwang just nodded slightly.

Mao Xingyan was blunt, "I'm afraid the deputy commander is thinking too simply. Not to mention whether our army can defend the ancient Wanzhai, what if the Yue Li Chao monkey bypassed the ancient Wanzhai and went straight to Yongzhou?"

He may not care too much about those tribes, but the people in Yongzhou City are all people who have a heart for the Song Dynasty.

Zhu Haiwang also saw Mao Xingyan's contempt for him, but he was not angry, he just said: "If the ancient Wanzhai is an empty village, do you think they will bypass it?"

Then he said: "Not only the five hundred guards in Yongzhou City and a set of firearms, but also you immediately send a pigeon to Yongping Village, so that the guards in Yongping Village will rush to Guwan Village and Hebei Province immediately with firearms. I'm waiting for the gathering!"

Mao Xingyan was stumped, "I want to know what the deputy commander is planning."

Zhu Haiwang said quietly: "Imitate the emperor and set up minefields."

Mao Xingyan was slightly stunned, so he stopped talking and hurriedly ran outside.He knows the power of Thunderbolt.

Although he didn't know much about landmines, he had heard about Zhao Dongting's achievements in Naozhou Island.

Those monkeys who surpassed Li Chao will never know how powerful the minefields are, right?

Zhu Haiwang thought about the secret letter that Zhao Dongting asked Yue Yue to hand over to the two brothers, and murmured in his heart: "The soldiers of the Yue Li Dynasty really have some skills."

Being able to pass through those tribal territories in such a short time and directly attack Taiping Village.The army of the Yue Li Dynasty is undoubtedly extremely tough, and it has the capital to make those tribes dare not raise their heads.

The barracks in Yongzhou City soon became noisy.

As for Taiping Village, which was two hundred miles away, there was indeed a lot of screaming and killing at this time.

The [-] troops of the Yue Li Dynasty stretched endlessly outside the stronghold.

As long as the number of people exceeds [-], it will really be a sea of ​​people.

At this time, the wooden gate of Taipingzhai had been breached by soldiers from the Yueli Dynasty.There were only 2000 soldiers attacking the village.

However, the fighting power displayed by these 2000 people cannot be underestimated.
