Become a feudal king from today

"General, the army of King Yan heading to Xiangzhou crossed the river at Jiangling in Jingzhou. Read"

When Wang Xie and Xie An were itching their teeth with hatred, a group of cavalry responsible for the investigation came in a hurry and brought back important information.

"Fell into the trap, fallen into the trap, this has been a conspiracy from the beginning." Xie An shouted and immediately collapsed on the chair.

They originally thought that King Yan's order for soldiers to sneak into Jiangzhou to rescue the people had nothing to do with the army's westward march.

Just a single surprise attack.

Unexpectedly, King Yan predicted their prediction.

They were just led by the nose by King Yan.

Now in Jingzhou, the soldiers and horses of the King of Yan are crossing the river on civilian ships from the north of the Yangtze River.

Not to mention that they were unable to attack Jinling due to food and grass problems, and even the army to the west could not attack the westward advancing Yan King's army from both sides.

"Hey!" Wang Xie heard this and punched the table hard.

But he was a scholar, with thin skin and tender hands. He couldn't help but feel pain and said "Ouch".

I felt fierce in my heart, and thought that I was outstanding among the Wang family's children, the proud son of heaven.

But since he competed with King Yan, many of his schemes were eliminated.

He personally advised on the strategy of attacking Jinling this time.

Now, not only was he unable to capture Jinling, but his strategy of strengthening the walls and clearing the country completely failed.

The situation of powerful people is getting worse.

More importantly, how did he explain to Wang Zian, Xie Duan and Han Zheng who were far away in Bacheng, and how did he explain to Liang Kai?

The more he thought about it, the angrier he became. Unexpectedly, his throat suddenly felt fishy and he spit out a large mouthful of blood.

"General!" The other generals were shocked when they saw this.

Xie An hurriedly stood up and supported Wang She, "Brother Wang, don't be so angry. Six hundred thousand troops are stationed in Anqing. There is no room for failure. Otherwise, you and I will be blamed. I'm afraid my family in Bacheng will also have to do it." "Suffering."

Wang Xie shook his body and finally stabilized his body, "Withdraw from Anqing and return to Changcheng. Otherwise, once King Yan's army besieges the city and their food and grass are cut off, the army will collapse without a fight."

Xie An said: "But there is no food and grass when we return to Changcheng."

"The people who followed King Yan's army were only the people from Zhezhou, Haizhou and other coastal counties. The people from Jiangzhou did not follow them. The rice in the east was harvested, and the rice in Jiangzhou was also harvested..." Wang Sheca Wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth.

Xie An nodded, frowned slightly, and said, "Why doesn't King Yan ask the army to burn down the rice fields in Jiangzhou? Wouldn't it be more detrimental to us?"

"Humph, King Yan is very smart, but tigers also take naps, so it's impossible to cover everything." Wang Xie's eyes narrowed.

After discussing the matter, he immediately ordered the army to march towards Changcheng.

Five days later, they arrived in Changcheng.

As they expected, Changcheng had become an empty city, and King Yan left nothing for them.

…

Jinling.

At the same time that the powerful army returned to Changcheng, the soldiers of the Third Army arrived here.

Because they needed to escort the people along the road, they walked very slowly and wasted a lot of time.

It wasn't until all the people returned home that they could retreat to Jinling with peace of mind.

"Your Highness, the general has fulfilled his mission." Pang San led the army to the south gate and saw King Yan and General Chang Wei greeting them.

He immediately broke away from the team, trotted up to Zhao Xu, and gave Zhao Xu a military salute.

Looking at King Yan, his eyes were full of reverence and his heart was excited.

"I am proud of you." Zhao Xu returned a military salute to Pang San with a smile on his face.

A few days ago, the Fourth Academy reported back to him the information that Pang San had conquered Changcheng and returned to Zhezhou with the people.

He was so excited that he stayed up all night.

After all, this plan is of great importance.

The return of people from eastern states and counties such as Zhezhou, Haizhou, and Jinzhou will quickly restore production in the three southeastern states.

Since then, their food problem in Jiangnan has been solved.

From now on, the royal army can rely on the three southeastern states to attack westward.

At the same time, the problem of supply points needed by the navy was also solved.

Zhou Yi's navy will be able to go straight down to Luzon along the Dasong coastline, reach Qiongzhou, which is the contemporary Hainan Island, and then use it as a base to continue southward to the countries in the East and Southeast Asia.

"This is our honor!" Pang San gave another military salute.

Guan Tong was on the right side of Zhao Xu, looking at the excited Pang San. He smiled and said, "Your Highness, Pang San is completely loyal to Your Highness..."

He told Zhao Xu about Pang San's past.

Pang San nodded, "If it weren't for Your Highness, the general would not be where he is today. The general has always wanted to thank His Highness in person, but because of his humble position, he has never had the opportunity to meet His Highness."

After saying that, he was about to kneel down.

Zhao Xu hurriedly supported Pang San to prevent him from kneeling, and said: "This king has made enemies of the powerful and wealthy families in the world just to make you stand up, not for you to kneel down again. There is gold under my knees, so I will kneel down." Heaven, there is no need to kneel to this king when you kneel to your parents.”

Chang Wei said: "Yes, Your Highness has reformed military etiquette, and that's what it means. If you have to kneel today, will the hundreds of thousands of soldiers in the army all kneel? You are grateful, just keep it in your heart, and return His Majesty's loyalty." ”

"Yes." Pang San straightened his back immediately after hearing this.

Zhao Xu nodded. Although Pang San knelt down to thank him, he still didn't want him to do it.

He not only abolished kneeling in the military, but also abolished kneeling in officialdom and in all professions.

He wanted to praise the people to stand up and straighten their backs.

Because only in this way can Dasong truly stand up and be proud of the world.

Why do the king's people in the kingdom of kings need to be like slaves, kneeling before everyone?

"Your Highness, we will seize a lot of money this time. Countless wealth has been transferred to Changcheng from powerful and wealthy families. The total amount is more than what was seized from the Jinling treasury." Pang San said excitedly.

After a pause, he continued: "Also, the general has also brought food and grass from Changcheng this time. The powerful army is probably going to run out of food, hahaha..."

Zhao Xu had long been paying attention to the endless baggage trucks.

With a satisfied look on his face, he said: "You have made great achievements this time, Chang Wei. I will allow you to take 10% of the loot as a reward to the entire army. Of course, the third army must be heavily rewarded."

"Thank you, Your Highness." Chang Wei was overjoyed.

Last time the navy robbed Japan, they were greedy for sharing the spoils.

This time, they finally got what they wanted.

Zhao Xu then said to Pang San, "Enter the city, let the soldiers change their clothes, have a good meal, and have a good sleep."

Pang San agreed and led the soldiers into Jinling City.

Zhao Xu, Chang Wei and other generals did not go back, but watched the soldiers and people escorting the baggage enter the city.

Originally, he thought Pang San was just exaggerating, but it wasn't until about an hour before the baggage train had passed that he realized that Pang San was not exaggerating.

The loot they seized this time was really extraordinary.

But then he figured it out.

The three southeastern states are the three wealthiest states in Dasong.

The powerful families and wealthy families in these three states are naturally the richest in Dasong.

And they are numerous, unlike the treasury of Jinling City, which is mostly the wealth of the Xie family, Wang family and Han family.

Another point.

The Xie family, Han family, and Wang family had already spent a lot of wealth by fighting against him and recruiting troops.

However, these three states have just moved westward, so they naturally retain more wealth.
