Xiaoyao Xiaojunhou

Chapter 862
It would be best if the plague god died in the five southeastern states. That would be even more perfect.

And the people are praying, hoping that the Divine Thunder Army will win and create greater glory!
First, the people don't like war, and they don't want the war to reach the capital.

The second is the blind worship of the god Leihou, and naturally hope that he will win every battle...

Amid the heated discussion in the city, the underground darkroom of a certain teahouse seemed unusually quiet.

Han Qingshan and Chen Dongyi met here again.

Because Chen Dongyi didn't know the Shenlei Army very well, he was full of worries about the Shenlei Army's trip.

Han Qingshan's Changning Imperial Army also used new weapons and knew how powerful the new weapons were, so they seemed optimistic...

Finally, Han Qingshan said: "He is the chosen one after all. I believe he will be fine. Brother Chen, don't worry."

"I hope it's as Brother Han said."

"Also, the world belongs to him after all. Now he can conquer it for himself, right? Haha, Brother Chen, how about we make a bet?"

"What bet?" Chen Dongyi asked.

Han Qingshan smiled meaningfully.

……

Jiangnan East Road, Taizhou.

On a high slope in Tiantai Mountain on the north side of Taizhou, the Divine Thunder Army is setting up camp.

It is already the second day of breaking camp and setting off for the expedition.

They followed the Grand Canal and headed straight to the five southeastern states.

The five southeastern states are the five state capitals: Taizhou, Wenzhou, Fuzhou, Quanzhou, and Zhangzhou.

The five states are distributed north to south.

The Divine Thunder Army trekked from the capital, and the first thing they faced was Taizhou.

When the [-] Divine Thunder Army rushed to Yuezhou, it was getting dark, so Lin Bochang and the others suggested finding a place to camp on the rooftop on the north side of Taizhou.

The entire army of [-] soldiers repaired overnight.

At dawn tomorrow, we will begin to attack Taizhou City.

Zhu Xiuyuan adopted Lin Bochang's suggestion.

While setting up camp, Zhu Xiuyuan ordered Huang Zhigao to send out scouts to explore the surrounding terrain and discuss the battle plan with the generals in the temporary Chinese army tent.

Zhu Xiuyuan is determined to be the hands-off shopkeeper to the end.

So the four lieutenants, including Lin Bochang, Huang Zhigao, Liu Anping, and Wu Shaoguang, rushed to make suggestions.

Zhu Xiuyuan chooses the pros and cons and decides whose plan to use.

In this way, it is quite easy.

It was getting dark, and there were torches everywhere in the camp.

Many candles were lit in the Chinese military tent.

"Master Marquis, everything is ready. The army only needs to march as planned tomorrow. However... our army is isolated, and the Taizhou rebels may have known our whereabouts. My subordinates are afraid that they will attack the camp at night." Lin Bochang said.

"Vice General Lin, please go and make arrangements. Arrange more secret sentries. If the rebels attack the camp, make sure they never come back!" Zhu Xiuyuan ordered casually.

"It's Lord Hou!"

After everything was arranged, the generals dispersed one after another, and Zhu Xiuyuan also returned to the camp to rest.

After driving for two days in a row, he was a little tired.

The war officially started tomorrow, which would be even more taxing on his brain. He needed to rest early.

"My lord, the hot water is ready. Please take a bath." Yan Dashan started doing the maid's work.

In addition to preparing bath water, Yan Dashan also has to serve tea and water. If Zhu Xiuyuan gets bored, he will also be teased by his benefactor...

"Ah."

After taking a hot bath and feeling comfortable all over, Zhu Xiuyuan fell asleep immediately after entering the camp.

I don’t know what time it is at night.

Suddenly, he was woken up by bursts of shouting and fighting. "Come here!" Zhu Xiuyuan sat up in shock. At this time, his perception became clearer. There was indeed a sound of killing in the distance, accompanied by a faint light of fire.

"Benefactor!" Yan Dashan walked into the tent. He seemed to have been standing outside the tent.

"What's going on? The rebels attacked the camp?" Zhu Xiuyuan stood up and looked for clothes to wear.

"Yes, according to reports from the soldiers at the front, the King of Taizhou led an army of [-] to attack the camp, but our army was already prepared." Yan Dashan came over to help him get dressed.

"Well, it seems that Vice General Lin's guess is good!"

After a while, Zhu Xiuyuan was dressed neatly and came to the Chinese army's tent. Wu Shaoguang and Liu Anping had arrived early, but Lin Bochang and Huang Zhigao were nowhere to be seen.

Zhu Xiuyuan sat down and asked where the two of them were.

"Reporting to Lord Hou, although the King of Taizhou led an army of [-] to attack the camp, according to the report from the detective, the [-] army of the King of Taizhou was like a paper man made of paper, and it was defeated in a moment in front of our army."

"We didn't even use new weapons!"

"Vice General Lin and Vice General Huang assessed the situation and decided to completely surround Taizhou King's [-] troops with the intention of completely cannibalizing them, so Vice General Lin and Huang Fu did not arrive."

"That's it." Zhu Xiuyuan nodded.

At this time, a school captain asked to see him.

After Zhu Xiuyuan let him in, the captain paid his respects and said, "Your Majesty, Lieutenant General Lin and General Huang Fu each led [-] troops and outflanked the Taizhou King's defeated [-]-strong army. Now, most of the [-] rebels have been annihilated. , and captured the King of Taizhou alive, and the two lieutenants are escorting the King of Taizhou back to the camp quickly."

"Captured the King of Taizhou alive?!"

Zhu Xiuyuan stood up from his chair and said with a smile: "Not bad, the start went smoothly. By the way, how many casualties did our army have?"

"For your information, Lord Marquis, our army has less than a hundred casualties, and the wounded have been properly placed!"

"So good!"

Zhu Xiuyuan was so happy that he couldn't open his mouth from ear to ear.

With just a hundred casualties, he defeated an army of [-] and even captured the King of Taizhou alive!

This has exceeded Zhu Xiuyuan's expectation.

After a while, Lin Bochang and Huang Zhigao returned.

By the light of the torch, Zhu Xiuyuan saw that the two of them were covered in blood.

It's on their armor and faces, but it's not theirs, it's the enemy's blood splattered on them.

"Master Hou! The final general lived up to Master Hou's expectations. He annihilated [-] enemy troops in the first battle and captured the King of Taizhou alive!"

Lin Bochang and Huang Zhigao held their hands, their scarlet cloaks swaying in the cool night breeze.

The two looked excited.

"Two lieutenants, please rise. If you have made meritorious service in the first battle, I will go to the memorial to ask for merit for you!"

Zhu Xiuyuan smiled and gave him a little support, and glanced sideways at Taizhou King who was tied into a rice dumpling on the side of the road.

He looked decadent, his hair was messy, and he was motionless.

"Thank you, Lord Marquis!" Lin Bochang and Huang Zhigao were still very excited.

Because they have long wanted to prove themselves and the Divine Thunder Army through a big battle.

Been waiting for a long time.

Now that they had won the first battle, their excitement was beyond words.

Wu Shaoguang and Liu Anping, who were behind Zhu Xiuyuan, secretly clenched their fists and were eager to try. They also wanted to make meritorious deeds as soon as possible.

Everyone returned to the big tent of the Chinese army.

Zhu Xiuyuan was about to ask about the specific details of the battle.

Lin Bochang suddenly raised his hands and said: "Master Hou, I have a plan. If it goes well, after dawn tonight, all the six counties in Taizhou will be in the hands of our army!"

"Huh?" Zhu Xiuyuan became interested, "Vice General Lin, tell me."

Taizhou borders the East China Sea to the east, Yuezhou and Mingzhou to the north, Lizhou and Kuozhou to the west, and Wenzhou, one of the rebellious cities, to the south.
