Become a feudal king from today

"Yes, general." Qin Shan gave Chang Wei a military salute.

He turned around and left, then ordered a search of the entire city.

Chang Wei watched Qin Shan leave and narrowed his eyes.

He ordered the annihilation of the wealthy and powerful families in Shacheng, in addition to taking back the people's wealth and anointing they had looted.

There is another important reason.

That is to reduce the hidden dangers within Shacheng.

If these wealthy and powerful families are left alone, they will definitely not settle down.

Therefore, it is safe to detain them.

After another busy day, the next day he left 10,000 soldiers stationed in Shacheng and led an army of 50,000 to northern Hunan.

At the same time, someone sent the news to Anqing.

Compared with the time when they went to Shacheng, they were invisible. The cavalrymen who delivered the message this time were one person and three horses, and they quickly headed towards Anqing.

The Jiangzhou area outside Yinchang City was all controlled by the royal family's troops.

They had a smooth journey and arrived in Anqing from Shacheng in less than three days.

"Very good." After reading the battle report sent back by the cavalry, Zhao Xu smiled with satisfaction.

Then, he immediately laid out the battle map.

When he was in Yanzhou, when he had nothing to do at night, he was either drawing various technical drawings, or drawing the overall map of Dasong and the maps of various states and counties.

There are, of course, sea state charts, and maps of various regions of the world.

After these maps were sent to the Staff Office, the generals in the Staff Office were responsible for copying them.

So when fighting, there was a special combat area map.

"They set out three days ago and should have arrived in Yueyang County by now. They are still two days away from Jiangxia County." Zhao Xu said.

The royal army's marching speed was much faster than that of the powerful army.

Therefore, it would take six days for the powerful clan to arrive at Jiangxia from Shacheng, and it might only take four or five days for the royal family's troops, and it would only take another one or two days for them to encounter the Wu army.

As for Jiangxia City, where the Wu army is currently located, it only takes them at most two days to arrive.

"It's time to set off, Huo An. Reorganize the army immediately and send troops to Jiangxia tomorrow." Zhao Xu said solemnly.

In addition to Qin Shan, Guantong and Lu Chang, there are five generals Zhenwu in the royal family. The remaining two are Bai Shang and Huo An.

At present, Bai Shangzhengzheng led his soldiers to surround Changcheng.

He and Huo An stayed in Anqing.

Unlike Qin Shan, Guan Tong, and Bai Shang, Huo An was the first veteran to join the Royal Army in the early days of its establishment.

He relied on military merit to reach this position.

However, because Qin Shan, Guan Tong, Lu Chang, Bai Shang and others were too dazzling, he seemed a little inconspicuous.

But for Zhao Xu, he is very optimistic about Huo An's future.

Because compared to Qin Shan and others, Huo An is younger and a new general.

"Yes, Your Highness." Huo An responded, looking at King Yan with unconcealed reverence in his eyes.

During this war, King Yan left him and his generals to guard Anqing, which showed his trust in them.

The feeling of being trusted by King Yan made him feel excited these days. Even if he died fighting for King Yan, he was willing to do so.

After leaving the courtyard, he went to the Anqing camp and summoned his generals.

"Take a rest overnight and head to Jiangxia tomorrow." Huo An said.

After pondering for a while, he continued, "His Royal Highness, King Yan, is going to fight with our Fifth Army this time. You must be very energetic. When fighting, you must show the majesty of the Fifth Army."

After a pause, his face darkened, "If anyone holds back the Fifth Army, don't blame me for being ruthless. Moreover, when the time comes, the people from the First Army, the Second Army, the Third Army, and the Fourth Army They are going to laugh at us as a reserve army again.”

When the generals of the Fifth Army heard this, their eyes became firm.

There is no gap between them and the other four armies.

But in order to enhance the combat effectiveness of each army, General Chang Wei often held shooting, fighting, bomb-dropping and other competitions in the army.

In addition, the five armies often confront each other during exercises.

In these games and rivalries, the Fifth Army often ranked poorly.

So when he asked for a fight, he naturally couldn't compete with Qin Shan and the others.

He can only play as a reserve team.

This is why they are called the reserve army.

They are all bloody men, so naturally they are holding their breath and want to make a comeback and prove that the Fifth Army is not bad.

Right now, following His Highness King Yan to attack Jiangxia City is an opportunity.

After all, the Wu army in Jiangxia has 600,000 people.

This was a beautiful game, and their reserve team hat was taken off.

"Yes, general!" the generals shouted.

After being disbanded, they immediately returned to their respective armies, ordered the soldiers to clean their muskets, count their ammunition, and at the same time conveyed Huo An's orders.

Early the next morning, the officers and soldiers of the Fifth Army stood outside Anqing City like fighting cocks, full of energy and high morale.

Zhao Xu saw this scene when he left the city and nodded with satisfaction.

He knew exactly what Huo An said in the army in the afternoon.

In fact, this is what he wants.

He also ordered Chang Wei to hold the military competition.

The purpose is for the armies to continuously improve in competition with each other.

"Let's go!" Zhao Xu ordered after inspecting the Fifth Army.

Currently, the Fifth Army only has 20,000 people, because 10,000 people remain in the three southeastern states.

Once the 20,000 people left, Anqing was like an empty city.

But it doesn't matter now, because Anqing City is very safe.

If the Wu army in Jiangxia wants to attack Anqing, it must pass the Fifth Army level.

The powerful army in Changcheng was besieged by Bai Shang's Fourth Army, and it was even less likely to threaten Anqing.

But even so, just in case, he still dispatched the rural soldiers who had just been mobilized near Anqing and had not yet been trained to garrison Anqing, which was better than nothing.

After two days of marching, Zhao Xu and his party arrived outside Jiangxia City from east to west.

At the same time, the 50,000-strong army led by Chang Wei also arrived at Jiangxia along the coast of Jiujiang from south to north.

Six hundred thousand Wu troops were trapped in Jiangxia City.

After getting in touch with Chang Wei, Zhao Xu ordered the Fifth Army to station in place and prepare to attack.

"His Royal Highness is truly a master of war. After taking Shacheng, the Wu army cannot retreat or advance. They can only defend Jiangxia."

When Zhao Xu and Huo An used telescopes to observe Jiangxia City, Huo An couldn't help but say.

"This is called the deceitful way of a soldier, the combination of right and wrong." Zhao Xu said.

He stayed in Anqing, attacking the counties in Jiangzhou was a conspiracy, and ordering Chang Wei to attack Shacheng was a trick.

If you attract the enemy from the front, you can do some small tricks secretly.

Therefore, the Wu army was fooled.

At this moment, the Wu army in Jiangxia must have learned about the fall of Shacheng.

But there was nothing they could do.

The reason lies in the topography of Xiangzhou. To the west of Xiangzhou is the Wuyi Mountains.

This mountain range separates Bazhou and Xiangzhou. To the east of Xiangzhou is the Xuefeng Mountains, and to the north of Xiangzhou is Jiujiang.

This is equivalent to saying that Xiangzhou is actually a cage.

The only way to Bazhou is through Shacheng, to Guizhou, and in a circle from Yunzhou to Bazhou.
