Tang Dynasty: Starting from Kou Zhong, the heavens rise!

"How could Lu Kangshou, a middle-stage master, be assassinated so easily?"

Bu Tianzhi stroked his long beard and asked a question.

The person who can take the position of Baling Gang leader must first have excellent martial arts skills. To kill Lu Kangshou in the middle stage of Grandmaster, he must be at least a master in the late stage of Grandmaster.

Not only him, Xu Ziling and Chen Laomou also had doubts on their faces.

"The person who assassinated him was the shadow assassin Yang Xuyan."

"The personal disciple of Evil King Shi Zhixuan, the only successor to the Way of Mending Heaven."

"Yang Xuyan not only knows the "Phantom Demon Body Technique", but also the "Immortal Seal Technique". "

Kou Zhong said calmly.

'Ouch! ! ! '

Hearing this, everyone present looked shocked.

Shadow Assassin Yang Xuyan actually mastered the unique secret technique of Evil King Shi Zhixuan. This talent and strength are probably considered top-notch among the younger generation.

Except for Shuanglong, there are few people in the world who can match it. No wonder he can assassinate him successfully.

In fact.

Yang Xuyan was not only a disciple of Shi Zhixuan, but also a bloodline of the Sui Dynasty Prince Yang Yong, and an atom of the Ming Dynasty Zunjiao.

With extraordinary talent, he created the "Black Hand Demonic Skill" by combining the "Immortal Seal" and the "Wisdom Sutra on the Roots of Control of All Dharmas".

In the original work, Yang Xuyan's martial arts and resourcefulness were not inferior to those of Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling, and Shuanglong, Ba Fenghan, and Hou Xibai joined forces to kill him.

"Master Zhong!"

"We can't just watch Xiao Mian gain a foothold and cut off the river."

Xu Ziling suddenly spoke, attracting everyone's attention.

"Master Ling."

"Do you have any idea?"

With deep eyes, Kou Zhong glanced at Xu Ziling and asked.

During this period, in addition to studying martial arts and martial arts, Xu Ziling also integrated Chen Zhibao's military art from the snow world, and had a clearer understanding of the world's situation, and he was completely transformed.

Without the slightest hesitation, Xu Ziling immediately added: "Strike first will make you stronger, but if you strike later, you will suffer disaster."

"We should change our strategy and move up the river to seize Jiangxia County with lightning speed."

"Jiangxia County is not only adjacent to Mianyang, but also the connection between Hanshui River and the river."

"With control of Jiangxia, our army will be able to command a commanding position and suppress the Baling Gang, and it will also be able to march north from the Han River to Guanzhong."

"Good plan!"

Bu Tianzhi and Chen Laomou both agreed and praised.

After the Shaoshuai army destroyed the Poyang sect, they had more than [-] ships in their hands, enough to accommodate an army of [-] men.

Whether it is going down the river or up the river, its maneuverability is far superior to that of any prince in the world.

If we seize Jiangxia County with the power of thunder, we will definitely achieve great success. Moreover, Jiangxia County governs seven counties and has a population of [-]. The terrain is flat and the soil is fertile. It has always been an important grain-producing county, enough to support the young commander's army. Get a foothold here.

Chapter 48: Use all the troops to attack Jiangxia and Jiujiang!

"No, it's not enough."

Facing Xu Ziling's gaze, Kou Zhong shook his head and said solemnly: "If we take Jiangxia alone, our two counties will be divided."

"Besides, Poyang County has just started. Jiangzuo is the base camp set by our army, and there must be no room for failure."

"If you want to capture Jiangxia, you have to capture Jiujiang as well."

"The three counties are connected. With the advantage of boats, we can attack Jingxiang and Xiangchu when we advance, and we can defend the left side of the Yangtze River when we retreat."

Geek!

The voice fell.

The expressions of everyone present changed and became a little solemn.

It is difficult to seize the land of one county, let alone two counties at the same time.

Fortunately, the small county of Jiujiang only governed three counties, with a population of less than [-] households, and the garrisoned Sui army was weak.

The biggest problem lies in Jiangxia County. Among the four counties of Jiangxia: Jiangxia, Wuchang, Yongxing, and Puqi, which one has a capital with high walls and thick walls and no less than [-] people.

"What's the situation in the two counties that Jin Yiwei discovered?"

At this time, Kou Zhong set his sights on Fu Junma.

Swish! ! !

Fu Junma, the commander of the Jin Yiwei, stood up suddenly and reported: "Young Marshal!"

"Jiangxia County does not have strong Jianghu forces, there is only one general helmsman of Dajiang Alliance."

"The Dajiang Alliance was jointly formed by Yichun Sect, Qingjiang Sect, Cangwu Sect, Jiangnan Hui and other small gangs in the south of the Yangtze River. The chief helmsman, Grandmaster Jiang Ba, was in his early cultivation."

"Huang Ao, the governor of Jiangxia, Fei Meng, the governor of Tong, and Yu Jue, the chief of the county, are from the Huang family, Fei family, and Yu family respectively."

"Jiangxia has [-] soldiers, all stationed in Jiangxia County. There are only a few county soldiers in the other three counties."

"Jiujiang County has been occupied by Cao Shiqi as early as the beginning of the year. There are [-] soldiers, most of whom are boat navy."

"How is the armament of our army?"

Then, Kou Zhong looked at Xu Ziling, Bu Tianzhi, and Chen Laomou and asked.

Xu Ziling was the first to speak: "The [-] new soldiers are all selected from Poyang sect disciples. Most of them are physically strong, and a few have internal strength."

"At present, we have been able to implement orders and prohibitions, and fighting in battle is no problem."

"Young Master!"

Chen Laomou replied hesitantly: "It took a lot of time for the craftsman to supervise the construction and become familiar with the hydraulic forge."

"The weapons delivered to the army were only [-] small Miao knives, [-] pairs of iron armor, [-] spears, [-] throwing spears and [-] feather arrows."

Immediately.

The atmosphere at the scene became somewhat solidified.

Previously, most of the Poyang faction's armor had been reheated and turned into iron.

Prepare to refine it into a new weapon to equip the young marshal's army.

But the time is too short now, only more than half a month has passed, and it is impossible for the newly forged soldiers and armor to arm the entire young commander's army.

"It's okay!"

With a wave of his hand, Kou Zhong ordered: "Our army will adjust its military system from now on."

"A unit of a thousand people is set up as a Sima, and a battalion of 3000 people is set up as a school lieutenant."

"There are 5000 people in a regiment, with a Zhonglang general; 5 people in an army, with a general; two armies have a guard, with a guard general."

"A regiment is divided into one battalion of light soldiers, one battalion of archers, two battalions of spearmen, and one battalion of rattan soldiers."

"In addition to the three battalions of the first army, there are also [-] Chinese cavalry and a cavalry captain."

"In addition, there are three thousand county soldiers in the county, and one thousand and two county soldiers in the county, commanded by the county captain and the county captain."

"Tongshou was banned, counties were established with county guards, county lieutenants, and county magistrates, and counties were established with county magistrates, county lieutenants, and county magistrates."

"The former manages the government, the lieutenant leads the troops, and the prime minister assists in government. Each performs his own duties and does not interfere with each other!"

"Yan Kuan was appointed as the captain of Poyang County, and Niu Fengyi, Cha Jie, Wei Yuan, Bao Zhifu, Ma Gui, Shi Jie and Wen Qin were appointed as the captains of various counties."

"Yes."

Bu Tianzhi responded immediately.

The newly appointed county lieutenants and county lieutenants are all top-notch experts. The total number of county soldiers and county soldiers is ten thousand. There should be no big problem in protecting Poyang County in a short period of time.

"I remember that there are tens of thousands of horizontal swords, three thousand pairs of horn bows and nine thousand pairs of leather armors in the treasury."

"First take it out and gather three regiments. Jingui Xiliang, Xingrong will be Jiujiang Zhonglang General, Poyang Zhonglang General, and Bai Rong will be Pengze Zhonglang General."

"Xie Yingdeng was reassigned as Jiangxia Zhonglang General and led a regiment of officers and soldiers to attack Jiangxia with me!"

"Young Master Ling, you lead Gui Xiliang and Bai Rong to attack Jiujiang, but you are lucky enough to stay at the Poyang camp."

"Recruit another [-] new soldiers, and General Poyang Zhonglang will be responsible for training."

After thinking for a moment, Kou Zhong made a decision.

"Yes."

Xu Ziling happily accepted the order.

Cao Shiqi, who was stationed in Jiujiang, was the leader of the Poyang faction. Because he was defeated by Lin Shihong, he led his troops into Jiujiang. He had more than 3 gang disciples under his command, which was far less effective than the soldiers of the Sui army. Xu Ziling led an army of [-] marshals, which was enough. Crush him.

In contrast, when Kou Zhong led an army of [-] marshals to capture Jiangxia, he had to face [-] Sui troops. This was the biggest challenge.

Of course, Kou Zhong's regiment includes Xie Yingdeng, who is an early master, and Wang Junke and You Junda, who are half-step masters. They also have a hundred Mo swordsmen and a hundred divine arm crossbowmen, plus all copper-ringed wild goose feather swords, iron Armored with fine scales, throwing spears, English longbows, and small Miao knives, they were almost armed to the teeth.

"Mr. Bu."

"The selection of candidates for Jiujiang County Sheriff and Jiangxia County Sheriff can begin now."

"In addition, candidates for county magistrates and county magistrates can also be selected together."

"This time, I will completely wipe out the two counties' aristocratic families and uproot them."

Kou Zhong said in a deep voice with cold eyes.

"Yes."

Bu Tianzhi was shocked and quickly responded.

The rules had been established as early as the establishment of the Young Marshal's Army. Any noble family who dared to resist would be killed without mercy!

All the aristocratic families in Poyang County were killed by the Jinyi Guards that night, leaving only a few obedient ones.

Jiujiang County and Jiangxia County are not as good as Poyang. The local aristocratic families have existed for thousands of years and are deeply rooted.

If we don't use thunderous means, I'm afraid it won't be eradicated at all.

You know, just by counting the acres and slaves this month, Poyang has [-] more fertile fields and a population of more than [-].

This is the reason why Kou Zhong dared to use all the young commander's troops to attack the two counties at the same time.

Because the people in Poyang County were already grateful to the young commander's army and were willing to go through fire and water for Kou Zhong without any hesitation.

The Shaoshuai Army allowed these people to get what they wanted, which was land to the tiller. However, this trivial request could not be achieved by the Sui Dynasty, which was based on clan power. The local aristocratic families even regarded the people as livestock.

On this day, earth-shaking changes took place in Poyang County, and county soldiers and county soldiers were organized into place.

Forty-five thousand troops purged soldiers and armor, and one thousand five hundred boats docked at the Poyang Pier beside Penglize. The first two hundred big boats carried the regiment of young commanders led by Kou Zhong, and the remaining 1000 and two hundred boats It carried two regiments of young marshals led by Xu Ziling.

In the evening, the sunset shines on the lake, and the water and sky are the same color. One thousand and five hundred boats pass through the reed swamps and enter the river.

Among them, 1000 and [-] ships were docked at Hukou and Lianxi respectively. Xu Ziling ordered Poyang Zhonglang, General Xingrong, to capture Hukou with [-] soldiers, while he led [-] marshal troops to land at Lianxi Pier and take advantage of the night. Entered Jiujiang County.

Chapter 49: Sword King Xu Ziling, the young marshal’s army is famous in Jiujiang!

The night was dark, and Jiujiang County City, located on the bank of the river, was as huge as a giant beast entrenched in the dark night.

This ancient city, located at the mouth of Sanjiang, the thoroughfare of seven provinces, and the most visible place in the world, ushered in the attack of the army.

"Come on!"

"Is there any news about Jin Yiwei?"

Xu Ziling looked at Jiujiang County not far away with cold eyes and asked.

"Report, Master Ling."

"Sima Feng has used flying slaves to send messages to thousands of households in Jiujiang, and the Jin Yiwei is seizing the city gate to open a passage for our army."
