Disarmed and returned to the field: the goddess of war returns to the village to engage in construct

Chapter 223 Civil turmoil
Dongling's border has ushered in another cruel and severe winter, and the biting snow has hardly stopped since Dongyue.

The battle with Zhaoguo has been fought for several months, but the enemy still cannot be driven out of Dongling's territory.

It's fine if you don't get out, but you lost two cities.

Simon tore up the contract and joined forces with Zhao Guo and Chen Guo to carve up Dongling's territory.

It is said that Princess Kisaragi was the breakthrough point to tear up the contract.

The thing is, Princess Kisaragi can't stand Simon's cold, can't bear Simon's slovenliness, and can't bear the smell of Emperor Simon, so she has to take a shower every day.

This is also understandable. It is normal for a delicate beauty to not adapt to this environment when she is new here.

The problem arises here.

Soldiers brought from Dongling helped Princess Ruyue boil and carry water every day.

Simon has no eunuchs, only court ladies.

The labor of carrying water is simply impossible for court ladies to do.

So the job fell on the soldiers.

In the past, Princess Ruyue simply disdained such inferior people.

But now, among the people brought from Dongling, there are only a few who can stay with them.

None of the court ladies she came back could escape the fate of becoming a beast, some died, some were injured.

It's not that she didn't want to die, but she couldn't die.

The soldiers who boiled and carried water for her every day, saw the lovely and pitiful Princess Ruyue, and couldn't help saying: "Princess, you must be strong. One day, you will be able to return to Dongling."

In this way, coming and going, two hearts in a foreign land slowly leaned together.

Don't get me wrong, it's just very simple dependence.

Just like in modern society, if you meet a person from your own country in a foreign country, you will feel that this person is very kind, and you want to talk to him and share everything with him.

However, it was such a simple friendship, somehow it was passed on to the top.

It should be said that Princess Ruyue's words and deeds have long been under the surveillance of others.

Princess Ruyue defended herself, saying that they were innocent, but would others believe it?

What greeted Princess Kisaragi and the soldier was a terrible punishment.

Princess Kisaragi is a woman, her fate can be imagined.

The soldier died so badly that he didn't even have a whole piece of skin on his body.

Simon took this as an opportunity to unite with Zhao Guo and Chen Guo to attack Dongling together.

Their strength is more than twice that of Dongleng.

Now the soldiers at the border have been hungry for several days, and can only rely on digging grass roots and gnawing bark to satisfy their hunger.

In order to win this war, apart from the Northwest Army and the Southern Army, Dongling basically came out with all their strength.

The soldiers in the northwest can't move, there are too many small countries staring at each other, waiting to share a piece of the pie.

Back then, Ye Qing led the Northwest Army to attack all the way and wiped out Beidi, which could only be deterred for a while.

Now that a few years have passed, their dog gall has begun to grow again.

The southern army can't move either. There are several vassals in the south of the Yangtze River, so they have to keep an eye on them.

And there is also a southern border, it is said that they are good at using poison.

Many years ago, during the battle with Southern Xinjiang, Dong Ling's soldiers suffered heavy losses.

The house leak happened to rain overnight, and at this moment, bad news spread from Jiangnan.

Jiangnan suddenly spread rumors everywhere, saying that the current emperor's throne came from a wrong path.

The first emperor originally did not intend to pass the throne to King Chen, but the current emperor's mother and queen forced him to ascend the throne.

He is not the real destiny, but the king of Chen is, who is the king of Chen?

King Chen was the queen's son, and his mother was from Jiangnan.

When the first emperor was still the crown prince, he went to Jiangnan on business and fell in love with this Jiangnan woman at first sight.

When he returned to Beijing, he took her back with him.

From the crown princess to the queen, it can be said that she is very popular.

It's just that the confidante died not long after giving birth to him.

Without the help of his mother's family, how could he, a prince, be able to become a prince? Whether he can grow up or not is another matter.

Sometimes, snubbing is also a form of protection.

In order to protect this son, the first emperor ignored him on the surface, but secretly sent countless dead soldiers to protect him, so that he grew up without any danger.

Later, the Concubine De concubine became the queen, and her son became the prince, and later became the emperor, who is now the emperor.

Moreover, the methods of the current emperor are too cruel and heartless, imposing heavy taxes and miscellaneous taxes, and the people are living in dire straits.

Take the Northwest Army a few years ago as an example. None of the soldiers who made great contributions could be promoted, let alone stay in the capital.

Obviously it was the emperor who killed Generalissimo Wang Wei, but it was Wang Wei who was greedy for military pay and was revenged by the soldiers, so he was killed.

They didn't care that Wang Wei was the prince's uncle, and they were in the same group as the prince. Anyway, they just told the matter and got the effect they wanted.

What's more, greedy for life and afraid of death.

Before Simon could attack, he began to surrender.

Sending the flowery and jade-like Princess Ruyue to get married, and also sending countless treasures to Simon as compensation, is simply useless.

If the king is not benevolent, the country will not be the country.

The people in Jiangnan don't know what Wang Wei was like and how he died, and it's none of their business anyway.

However, it is true that the tax is heavy, and this is the emperor's inaction.

No matter who is the emperor, it is actually the same, that is, he does not take the life and death of the people seriously.

So in the eyes of ordinary people, you can do whatever you like, as long as it doesn't affect me.

However, how could the war not affect the lives of ordinary people?
The turmoil came without warning, and almost overnight, Dong Ling's sky changed.

In addition, they are still fighting with Zhaoguo and others.

Inside, the younger brother of the current emperor, King Chen, took the opportunity to revolt.

And King Chen's fief is in the south of the Yangtze River, so it can be said that it is not far from Qingfeng Town, only a few hundred miles away.

King Chen was born to the late emperor's most beloved woman. He loved the house and loved Wu, so he couldn't give him the crown prince, so he gave him Tianshui County, the richest place in the south of the Yangtze River.

No matter what dynasty, the vassal kings are the objects of the emperor's beware, because they have soldiers in their hands.

According to Dong Ling's regulations, the feudal king can have 3 guards, and 3 guards do not mean 3 people, but 3 guard battalions.

According to regulations, the strength of each guard battalion is between 6000 and 20000.

The three guard battalions have at least nearly 20000 people and horses, and they can have 6 people based on the full number.

As for how many troops King Chen actually has, the court doesn't know at all.

Without the emperor's order, the vassal king is not allowed to leave the fief for half a step.

Emperor Shan Gao is far away, so many years have passed, who knows how many troops King Chen has.

The land of fish and rice in the south of the Yangtze River, the land is fertile, which made King Chen have the capital to rebel.

Of course, the imperial court was worried about these vassal kings, so they also sent troops to garrison important cities.

On the third day of May, King Chen's guard battalion clashed with the imperial army. More than 200 soldiers of the imperial court died in the chaos, and the turmoil broke out completely.

Within three days, the war expanded to the entire Jiangnan.

Although King Chen did not declare independence, his military strength is enough to prove that he is bound to win.

The timing of King Chen's rise is very sensitive, the situation at the border is tense, and the imperial court has advanced a large number of troops to the border.

In comparison, King Chen's little military force did not attract the court's attention at all.

However, therein lies the problem.

In many cases, it is because of not paying attention to it that irreparable losses have been caused.

Zhou Dexuan, as the chief general of the southern army, immediately led [-] soldiers and horses to defeat King Chen's rebel army after receiving the order from the imperial court.

Like the court, he felt that King Chen had been pampered and pampered for so many years, how strong could his soldiers be.

When the battle started, it was discovered that the number of troops on the other side was far greater than that of the regular army of the Southern Army, and they were stronger than the regular army.

Didn't it mean that King Chen's soldiers and horses would not exceed [-] at most?
There are absolutely no less than 10 people in this dark area.

No one knew where these soldiers came from, it was like the grass on the Lili Plain, the entire grassland grew overnight.

Could it be that King Chen has been deceiving the court for so many years?
Because, every year, the imperial court would send people to the fiefdoms of various feudal lords to check the situation of soldiers and horses.

It is understood that just last year, 29000 people were sent to report back to the court.

Obviously, King Chen didn't want people to know his strength and deceived the court.

Zhou Dexuan is a veteran with rich combat experience. He is a general who crawled out of the dead.

He wondered what the superiority in numbers could mean, after all, this group of rebels had no combat experience.

As long as they find a breakthrough, the victory of winning more with less is just around the corner.

However, Zhou Dexuan realized that something was wrong when they actually fought against each other.

These rebels don't look like people who have never been on the battlefield, and they feel that they have more experience.

A shot is the key to life.

And they have stronger cities and local people as their backing,

There are a total of four cities in Tianshui County, each of which is as solid as gold, and even the city wall is higher than that of the capital.

These are all the credits of King Chen, all these years of swallowing his anger is for this moment.

The two sides are now fighting at the gate of Fengcheng.

Zhou Dexuan suffered consecutive defeats, not only failed to capture Fengcheng, but also lost several generals and half of the soldiers.

He didn't dare to act rashly anymore, if he continued to attack, they would be wiped out.

Now there is only waiting for reinforcements from the imperial court.

Only then did he realize that there was not much food left.

The traffic arteries outside Tianshui County have been blocked by King Chen.

Not to mention reinforcements, even food and grass can't be transported.

The soldiers were cold and hungry, and the wounded couldn't get treatment. Everywhere they looked, there were wounded soldiers and disabled generals.

The morale of the army is slackened and morale is extremely low. I don't know if there is any possibility of survival.

Zhou Dexuan anxiously called several lieutenants over to discuss the next plan.

"The soldiers can't hold it anymore, what do you think?"

The people in the camp were powerless to refute, what could they do?
This time they underestimated the enemy carelessly, they did not expect King Chen's army to be so difficult, they killed everyone by surprise.

Is it true that God wants to kill them?
In fact, what he didn't know was that they were surrounded like dumplings.

Just waiting to trap them in it, they can be cleaned up without any effort.

...

There was chaos everywhere, and people who fled everywhere.

Many people escaped from the south of the Yangtze River and walked all the way to the capital.

There are few people along the way, and the shops are closed.

Along the way to the north, the towns passed by are getting cleaner and less prosperous, which is very different from the scenery in the south of the Yangtze River.

Dongling is too big, with a vast territory and a large population.

War is terrible, but life must go on.

However, what is more terrible about war is not the war itself, but the consequences.

Many people took the opportunity to occupy land and become kings, wanting to feel like an emperor.

Even if you are rich, even if you are the richest in the world, as long as you have no power and no manpower, you can be easily crushed to death by these people.

So, when they saw a family with beautiful women, food, or money, they led people to rush in openly.

Ye Qing was so worried that she couldn't sleep every night, there were so many shops, so many employees, what to do next.

And it is not known how long the war will last.

Will the war spread here, will they relocate their families?

Ye Qing frowned as he watched and listened to Guo Mingfeng's report, his expression was unprecedentedly solemn.

Guo Mingfeng has his own circle, and his news is much faster than Ye Qing.

"Miss Ye, what should we do now?" Guo Mingfeng asked.

She frowned and said in a low voice, "Maybe the shop is about to close."

Guo Mingfeng was puzzled, and asked with frowned eyebrows: "But it hasn't affected us yet, isn't it too early?"

Ye Qing: "If you don't close it again, I'm afraid it will be too late. The shop is so far away. If something happens, I can't reach them. I can't save them."

Guo Mingfeng: "Since when did it close?"

Ye Qing: "Notify me, just for two days."

...

With a bang, the door of a grain farm was kicked open, and everyone looked up.

I saw a man in military uniform standing at the door, looking at a room full of busy men, and said coldly: "Where is your boss, tell him to get out and see me."

After all, the man sat straight on the chair in the hall, and more than a dozen soldiers followed him, standing in two rows, looking extremely majestic.

A soldier shouted loudly: "Don't serve tea to our lieutenant!"

A guy came forward cautiously and gently placed the teacup on the table.

Unexpectedly, just after taking a sip, the man spit out all the tea with a puff, smashed the teacup on the waiter's face, and cursed angrily, "Damn it, do you want to scald this lieutenant to death?"

It's a cold day, the tea is really not hot.

But he was so strong that the teacup was smashed into pieces.

A not-so-short gash was drawn on the boy's face, reaching the tip of his eyes.

The little boy yelled, covered his eyes and fell down.

Immediately, guys rushed up from both sides. A young guy couldn't help but look angry when he saw his companion injured like this, and looked at the man angrily, as if he was going to hit someone.

"How dare you fucking stare at me? Who are you?"

The man was very upset, he gave a cold drink and said, "Hit me, hit me hard."

The soldiers on both sides rushed up immediately, and several other guys also rushed forward to pull their companion out, but they were stopped by an older man: "Do you want to cause trouble for the boss?"

In such an instant, those soldiers had already pulled the guy and beat him up.
