Martial Arts: Start with 100,000 Xiliang Cavalry

Chapter 115
Besides, after Su Yuan said that he wanted to completely break up the Beggar Gang, Bai Shiquan, the leader of the Beggar Gang, also publicly responded.

The content of his response was to represent the world and get rid of Su Yuan, a man who has poisoned the martial arts and has no king and father.

And he also called on other sects to unite and contribute to deal with Su Yuan.

However, there are not many people in the world who respond to Baishiquan.Even if there are, they are just small shrimps, and there are almost no big parties to support him.

The reason for this is that the Beggar Gang broke the rules first.

Bai Shiquan cooperated with the imperial court and sent masters from the gang to join the imperial army. This made the people of the Jianghu shameless, and caused the prestige of the Beggar Gang to plummet in the Jianghu.

The word-of-mouth of the beggar gang itself is not very good. It is necessary to know that some crimes in various places, such as theft and trafficking, often involve members of the beggar gang.

If this happened again now, naturally no one would be willing to support the Beggars.

This made Bai Shiquan make a decision after being annoyed.

"My beggar gang can also pull tens of thousands of people in Qingzhou Fucheng."

In the spider headquarters, Bai Shiquan faced Jia in front of him.

"Not only that, all the masters of the Beggar Gang can be dispatched to deal with Su Yuan. But I want to make a promise. After the matter is completed, you will ask the Holy One for our credit!"

Jia Yi lightly shook his folding fan, looked at Bai Shiquan and said with a smile: "The leader of Bai Shiquan is going to take refuge in the imperial court."

"Just say yes or no!"

The Beggar Gang is now rejected by other sects in the Jianghu, Bai Shiquan was annoyed, and decided to completely surrender to the court.

It's good to enjoy the shade under the big tree, and the country has been in the country for hundreds of years, and there are still some details.

If they can get the full support of Da Zhou, and with the help of spiders, it is not impossible to dominate the world.

A said: "Of course you can agree. But the leader of the Bai gang never thought about it. In this way, your beggar gang will completely become the lackeys of the imperial court."

Bai Shiquan said harshly: "So what? As long as the Beggar Gang can become the supreme martial artist, I, Bai Shiquan, can do anything!"

"Haha, Master Bai is quite open." A nodded, "Okay, then I will tell Mr. Fu to speak well for your beggar gang in front of the emperor."

"It's not just good words! You have to tell your majesty that our beggar gang is willing to serve the imperial court!"

Now that Bai Shiquan has decided to join the imperial court, he must be loyal enough, after all, this is a matter of choice and there is no way out.

"Yes." A said.

Bai Shiquan stared at Jiayi, he didn't know what this guy was thinking and what purpose he had.

Originally, he thought that this guy would be very angry and annoyed when his previous actions failed, but in the end he still looked cynical.

This made Bai Shiquan incomprehensible, and wondered if there was something wrong with Jiayi's head?

However, there must be a reason for Jia Yi to be so valued by Fu Chengyang.

Bai Shiquan suppressed his dissatisfaction, and said: "This time when our Beggar Clan army is formed, our chief rudder masters will also come out in full force, and we will definitely destroy Su Yuan."

"I hope so."

"Humph."

Bai Shiquan couldn't bear Jia Yi's indifferent attitude, so he walked away.

Jia Yi looked at Bai Shiquan's back and chuckled lightly.

"Abandon the rivers and lakes and seek refuge in the court, so the rivers and lakes and the court will not tolerate you..."

Tianmenguan.

After Su Yuan escorted the army rations, accompanied by Zhao Yun, he inspected the army.

He is really strong now.

Among the summoned soldiers, there are about 10 soldiers in the Xiliang Iron Cavalry at Tianmen Pass plus the Imperial Forest Army.He still has 11 holy priests in his soldier talisman. If they are included in the army, the combat power of these [-] people may be equivalent to hundreds of thousands of elite troops.

The real soldiers, Mozhou soldiers and Qingzhou soldiers add up to about 25.

Seeing them in neat formation, Su Yuan had to admire Zhao Yun's military training ability.

In less than ten days, it was not easy for him to train those Qingzhou defeated soldiers who had no fighting spirit into the current high morale.

At this moment, with the arrival of Su Yuan, the soldiers also worked harder, with their backs straightened.

"With such a large army, how difficult is it to capture Qingzhou?" Su Yuan was full of confidence.

Zhao Yundao: "These Qingzhou soldiers themselves want to go home, and after learning about the prince's land governance policy, their desire to fight is even higher. They all hope that the policy in Mozhou can also be used in their hometown Qingzhou. "

"Ah."

Su Yuan nodded, he had realized the power of a good policy.

If the Great Zhou court did not make false propaganda and allowed Su Yuan's governance methods to spread throughout the country, I am afraid that no matter where the people are, they would want Su Yuan to fight over them.

It was also because of this that Da Zhou blocked Su Yuan in every possible way and smeared him infinitely.

They can only do this, because Su Yuan is a conspiracy and cannot be learned.

If you can learn it, you will become me, you will become me, why should I beat you?We are friends now.

It's a pity that these princes and nobles will never learn, and cannot learn, such things as being rich in the people.Those who want to learn will be excluded from the ranks of princes and nobles.

Just like Lu Wuyou under Su Yuan's command.

Although he came from a wealthy background, he has always stood on the side of the common people. This caused him to be rejected in the Lu family, without any power to use, and in the end he could only get drunk every day to numb himself.

Now that the army rations are sufficient and morale is high, there is no reason to delay.

Su Yuan said to Zhao Yun: "Attack Guocheng tonight!"

He completely turned a deaf ear to the "marriage" matter, and the court planned to delay him for a period of time with this matter, but in the end nothing was delayed.

"Yes, my lord!"

Night falls.

After the army was prepared, it set off straight to Guocheng.

Su Yuan also went out with the army. He and Zhao Yun led 20 Xiliang cavalry to the front, and the remaining [-] Qingzhou soldiers followed.

The soldiers all went into battle lightly, and did not carry heavy baggage vehicles, siege equipment, etc.

Each soldier only brought food for two days. Actually, in Su Yuan's opinion, it was okay to not bring it, because he was bound to capture Guocheng in one day, or even shorter.

At Yinshi, the vanguard cavalry came to the foot of Guocheng City. Su Yuan looked up at the city wall. There were only a few soldiers on it looking down in panic.

Zhao Yun wrapped his voice in inner strength, and said loudly: "The Bei'an army is here! Surrender quickly, let go of the city gate!"

"The Bei'an army is here?!"

"What to do... there are so many people!"

"Quickly report!"

The soldiers on guard were in a hurry, not knowing what to do.

The generals who were sleeping soundly in the city were shocked when they received the news, and rushed to the city wall while putting on their clothes.

When they came to the top of the city and saw the endless black mass of soldiers below, their legs were so frightened that their legs went limp.

"Quick! Quick..." a general hurriedly said.

"Fire the arrows quickly?" the soldier asked.

Snapped!
A big slap was slapped directly on his face.

"Let your mother's arrows go! You're courting death! Open the city gates quickly!!!"

"Yes!!!"

Several generals had sent letters to Su Yuan long before they took the lead, expressing their willingness to surrender, and when he came with an army, they would sacrifice their city and surrender.

At that time, writing this letter was just an expedient measure. They all thought that if the imperial court sent another large army soon, then this letter would naturally be regarded as never written, and nothing happened.

But wait and see, there is no army at the court.On the contrary, Su Yuan led the army to attack first, so why hesitate, surrender quickly!

stick to it?Picture what?
To fight this kind of mortal battle for so little military pay... the Great Zhou court is not worth it for a few people to do it.

The few generals never thought of fighting to the death for the Great Zhou. At this moment, they hurried down the city wall, opened the city gate together with the soldiers, and let the Bei'an army enter the city.

When Su Yuan and Zhao Yun saw the city gate open, they looked at each other and nodded slightly.

They have long expected this outcome.

Most of the soldiers in Qingzhou are on their side. Almost all the cities in Qingzhou are empty. Perhaps only Fucheng still has a certain defense force. Why can other cities be defended and dare to defend?
Offering the city to surrender is the wisest choice.

Soon, the army entered Guocheng smoothly, and the movement inevitably woke up the common people.

Unlike other large armies that entered the city and the ordinary people hid, after knowing that it was the Bei'an Army that entered the city, some courageous ordinary people dared to open the door and stood at the door to check.

This is also because Qingzhou borders Mozhou, and people often flow between the two sides.

Therefore, if the Great Zhou court wanted to block news, it would be difficult to block Qingzhou.As a result, most people in Qingzhou have a certain understanding of the policies under Su Yuan's rule.

Some Qingzhou businessmen who have been to Mozhou to do business are simply unwilling to come back. This kind of rumor has been spread, and the people of Qingzhou are undoubtedly eager for Su Yuan to come over as soon as possible.

Now that the desire has become a reality, it is normal for ordinary people to go out and have a look when they are excited.

Su Yuan noticed this situation and felt very relieved.

As a king, his subordinates are not afraid of him or his army. This in itself is the best evaluation of him.

If there is a king, everyone is afraid, everyone dare not even look at it, and usually dare not even say his name... That only means that this king must be very violent.

Su Yuan didn't want to become such a king, so he got off his horse and talked with some people on the street.

Those generals who surrendered trotted to Su Yuan at this moment, knelt down to express their surrender, and shouted an apology.

It is said to be an apology, but in fact it is a plea for credit, and they want Su Yuan to reward them for their contribution to the city.

Su Yuan knew it well, and said: "You are all up, you are all heroes, and I will reward you afterwards."

"Thank you, my lord!" Several people expressed joy and thanked in unison.

Later, some local soldiers whose homes were in Qingzhou found their chief and proposed to go home.

Because Su Yuan said before the expedition that when they return to Qingzhou, the soldiers can withdraw from the army and go home.

But right now, many Qingzhou soldiers dare not do that. In the past, those who dared to leave the army privately were treated as deserters, and they were often assigned with tattoos. For this reason, they dare not leave directly, and they have to ask first.

Passed on level by level, and finally passed to Su Yuan, he immediately said: "Tell the soldiers, you can go home directly."

In fact, he still wants these soldiers to go home. After all, the existence of the army is enough, and there is no need for too many.

And the more people go home, the less he will spend on military rations.

By dawn, many Qingzhou soldiers had returned home. Zhao Yun took an inventory and found that nearly 1 soldiers had left.

It's not that the other Qingzhou soldiers don't want to leave, but their homes are not in Guocheng, but in other cities in Qingzhou.

For this reason, even if they didn't sleep all night, these soldiers were all full of energy, their fighting spirit remained undiminished, and they all wanted to move on!go ahead!
Su Yuan is also not sleepy, he also wants to move forward.

It's just that he didn't want to go home, but to take down most of Qingzhou as soon as possible before the court reacted.

Otherwise, when the imperial court finds out that he doesn't take the marriage seriously at all, they will definitely resort to means in a fit of desperation... Regardless of whether the means are useful or not, Su Yuan will definitely think that the more cities he has in his hands at that time, the better.

So the army did not stop too much in Guocheng, and continued to advance.

Like Guocheng, after discovering the arrival of the Bei'an Army, several cities almost surrendered directly.

Only a few one or two cities resisted symbolically.But when Zhao Yun broke out his inner strength and flew up to the city wall, the symbolic resistance would disappear immediately.

In this way, from last night until noon today, Su Yuan's army took down the five cities of Qingzhou without bloodshed.

Every time they went to the city, many Qingzhou soldiers left the army and went home.After the fifth Ming City was taken, only 20 of the original 12 Qingzhou soldiers remained.

Standing at the head of Ming City, Su Yuan and Zhao Yun looked at the mountains in the east.

"We won five cities in two days because these five small cities are closer together." Su Yuan said, "Chuancheng, the capital city of Qingzhou, is the capital city of Qingzhou after crossing the mountain and a hundred miles to the east. Although we tried our best to block the news, Chuancheng may have received the news by now."

In the city of Qingzhou, I don't know how many spies there are, and there must be even Fu Chengyang's spiders.Even if Su Yuan temporarily closed the city gates after conquering a city, some spies must have gone out of the city to report before he conquered it.

"Chuancheng is probably already making defensive preparations. By tomorrow morning at the latest, the capital should have received the news." Zhao Yundao, "My lord, we should go all out and try to capture Chuancheng by tomorrow night!"

"Zilong, you are right."

After one bout of energy, then decline and exhaustion, since Su Yuan has already dispatched troops, he naturally wants to occupy Qingzhou as quickly as possible.

However, the marching speed in Qingzhou was inevitably much slower.

Because Qingzhou has mountains and lakes, it is difficult for cavalry to take advantage of high speed.

If there were no mountains in front of him, Su Yuan could lead an army to the city of Chuancheng in one day.But right now, it will take two days to walk the mountain road first, and then rush to Chuancheng.

Regardless of the difference of just a day or two, sometimes it is only an hour, which may determine the outcome of a key battle.

This is the reason why soldiers are expensive and fast.

It's just that Qingzhou soldiers can't stand the continuous running around now, and Su Yuan is also very tired.

Zhao Yun could see this, so he suggested: "My lord, why don't you rest in Mingcheng for a day first, and then lead the vanguard to Chuancheng first."

"No." Su Yuan shook his head, "I'll go with you."

"But my lord..."

"It's okay, I have the internal strength of cultivation, so I can still bear this little fatigue."

Su Yuan didn't want to delay things because of himself, and he has practiced internal strength for such a long time, so he can really stand up at this time.

As for those Qingzhou soldiers, Su Yuan let them take a rest for the time being, and replenish their rations by the way.

There is also some grain in the granaries in the five small cities, enough to supply 10 people.

An hour later, Su Yuan and Zhao Yun led the summoned soldiers to set off.

At dawn the next day, the news that Su Yuan invaded Qingzhou and took five cities in a row had already spread in the capital.
