Chapter 217
The prefect and the prince of Nanzhao were both dead!

How can they explain it?

Everyone hurriedly went to invite Han Zheng, the governor of Yaozhou in charge of military and political affairs.

When Han Zheng came over, he saw the bodies of Zhang Qiantuo and Ge Luo.

He was suddenly shocked, so, isn't it going to cause chaos in the diplomatic relations between the two countries?
Han Zhengli immediately asked people to detain all the people in the prefect's mansion, and he hurriedly returned to the prefect's mansion to instruct his subordinates to raise their spirits to strictly guard the frontier.

Unexpectedly, this order has just been down for half a day, and the news that Yaocheng County has been captured by Nanzhao came. The person leading the troops was Luo Yan, the second prince of Nanzhao.

He originally came with the eldest prince to pay homage to the prefect Zhang Qiantuo, but when he was about to arrive in Yaozhou city, he angered the eldest prince Geluo for some reason.

Ge Luo scolded him badly, and when he couldn't bear to follow him again, he told him to turn back to Nanzhao.

The second prince, Luo Yan, was so disgraced that he naturally did not want to go with him anymore, so he left with his valet and guards.

When I arrived in Yaocheng County, I stopped for a while because it was inconvenient to travel as it was dark.

He was the second prince of Nanzhao, and he came to pay tribute along the way. Now that he has returned to Yaocheng County halfway, the county magistrate naturally couldn't take it lightly, and specially set up a banquet.

Unexpectedly, when the banquet was in full swing, Luo Yan suddenly dropped the cup and pulled out a large knife to chop off the head of the magistrate.

The bloody head rolled to the ground and turned around, which shocked everyone present.

The guards behind Luo Yan also pulled out their swords and slaughtered recklessly. For a while, screams were heard everywhere.

How did the people in the county think that the Prince of Nanzhao, who had paid tribute, would suddenly kill people?
By the time the reinforcements arrived, the county government had already been occupied by Luo Yan, who had also taken the relatives of the county magistrate and other minor officials who were with the banquet as hostages.

At this time, at the city gate, countless Nanzhao soldiers suddenly attacked.

The originally closed city gate was secretly opened.

Nanzhao soldiers rushed into the city, and they burned and killed again.

The fire reflected the crying faces of the people, how painful it was!
Yaocheng County, which was only dozens of miles away from Nanzhao, was breached overnight.

There are only 3000 people, old and young, in Yaocheng County. After Luoyan occupied Yaocheng County, he allowed the soldiers to burn, kill and loot wantonly, and at one time most of them went out.

Thinking of this, the anger in He Lingjiang's heart couldn't help but rise up.

She watched County Lord Yinsheng enter the city lord's tent, and clenched her palms with her eyes down.

After Luo Yan occupied Yao City, he led the Nanzhao army to move forward, raising his arms, saying that Da Zhou had bullied people too much and wanted to avenge the death of the prince, Ge Luo.

Today, the Nanzhao army is stationed outside the city of Yaozhou.

He Ling Jiang sneered under the heart, Luo Youshi, the first prince, died, but Luo Yan, the second prince, had already cut down the magistrate of Yaocheng during the banquet at Wu Shi, and raised his arms to avenge Ge Luo.

Yaocheng County is nearly a hundred miles away from Yaozhou, and the Governor Han Zheng immediately blocked the news of the death of the Prince of Nanzhao.

He received the news too quickly.

This battle was obviously planned by the second prince, Luo Yan.

The death of the eldest prince not only eliminated a rival to the throne, but also made him famous in this war, and instead pushed the fault on Da Zhou.

The Yinsheng County Master is naturally aware of this, so when talking to He Lingjiang about the cause and effect of this matter, he is cautious, lest he accidentally anger her and his life will be lost.

In this raid on Yaozhou, the Nanzhao King Ting secretly dispatched [-] troops.

In addition to the 2 people brought by the Yinsheng City Lord, as well as those recruited by the Aning Department and other surrounding ministries, the total number exceeded [-].

As far as she knew, Yaozhou's garrisoned troops should be only [-]. If they had to deal with these [-] people, it would be difficult.

What's more, after Luo Yan captured Yaocheng County, he ordered people to bind the surviving people as a pledge. When he besieged Yaozhou City, he first slaughtered the people before the battle, in order to disturb the hearts of the Zhou army.

Today, Luo Yan has been besieging Yaozhou for a whole day, and on this day alone, countless innocent people died tragically.

Great Zhou soldiers, countless times wanted to go out of the city to save the people.

However, when the Dazhou soldiers left the city to fight, the Nanzhao army led them back immediately, avoiding without fighting.

Do it all at once, second time tired, third time exhausted.

If it goes on like this, it will be difficult to defend this Yaozhou City.

He Lingjiang raised his eyes and looked at the big tent of City Lord Yinsheng.

Nanzhao attacked the city with [-] people and had no chance of winning, so he disturbed the army by massacring the people of Da Zhou.

Now, City Lord Yinsheng has brought people there, and with [-] to [-], the odds are high.

The attack on Yaozhou must not be delayed. If it is only besieged and not attacked, and Da Zhou's reinforcements arrive, Nanzhao's plan will be in vain.

Therefore, after the soldiers of Yinsheng City were repaired overnight, Nanzhao will definitely start a fierce attack.

Sure enough, County Master Yinsheng brought He Lingjiang and the others back to her tent, and said, "Dad said, tomorrow morning, we will send troops to attack Yaozhou, and we must take Yaozhou as soon as possible. ."

He Ling Jiang's eyes were slightly cold: "Although Nanzhao has [-] troops now, it is an attacker after all. Yaozhou City is easy to defend and difficult to attack, why is Luoyan sure that his trip will definitely be taken before the arrival of Dazhou reinforcements. Yaozhou?"

The Yinsheng County Master hesitated for a while, but still said: "The closest reinforcements to Yaozhou are Rongzhou and Quzhou. Now, there should be civil unrest in the two places, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to draw a large number of troops to support. Yaozhou."

"If you wait for other states and counties that are farther away to come to support, I'm afraid it will take a long time."

"Civil chaos?" He Lingjiang couldn't help frowning.

County Lord Yinsheng said in a low voice, "It seems to be a folk sect called Taiping Sect, which was started by gathering the people and uniting with many green forest bandits."

He Lingjiang's heart was suddenly startled: "It's actually Taiping Sect!"

When she came to Nanzhao, she passed through Shaoyang County, during which there were Taiping teachers who took advantage of the spring drought to sway and deceive the people.

I thought it was only concentrated in the Shaoyang area, confusing the people.

Breaking his so-called rain-praying trend earlier was considered to have broken his prestige, and with the operation of the Shaoyang County Guard, there should be no major troubles.

Never thought that even Rongzhou and Quzhou also have Taiping followers, and now they are still united to cause chaos together.

Nanzhao started a war here, and wanted to attack Yaozhou, the two states of Rong and Qu next to Yaozhou, but it was difficult to make a big move due to the chaos of the people.

He Lingjiang squinted his eyes. Is there a connection between the two?

When she came all the way from Linchuan before, she had never heard of the civil unrest caused by the Taiping Sect in Dazhou.

After all, this civil turmoil should have started when she entered the Nanzhao territory.

At this time, it is only 20 days from today.

If Nanzhao saw that there was chaos in the two states of Rong and Qu, and there would be a prairie fire, the two states of Rong and Qu would not dare to make a big move, so they planned early in the morning to raid Yaozhou at this time.

That was her, and she had to sigh that Nanzhao had determined the trend and found a good time.

But if between the two, someone deliberately did it...

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but shudder.
