Choose three out of ten at the beginning, summon ten gods to dominate the other world

Everything is ready, and it is time to test the results of the Zhenbei Army's training.

"Cao Zhengchun, have you spread out your people?"

Long Tian did not know the situation in Zongzhou, and his previous focus was not here, so he could only cram at the last minute.

"Your Highness, I arranged for people to go to Zongzhou a week ago, but the journey is long and we are late, so it will take some time to see the results."

The development of intelligence forces is a slow process, and there is no point in rushing. Fortunately, the three thousand shadows with system awakening can greatly shorten this process.

With their cooperation, the expansion speed of the shadows is already very fast.

"The army will rest for one night and enter Zongzhou tomorrow."

Considering that the city here is still under the control of Xia State, Long Tian did not wait and went directly to Zongzhou to learn more about the situation.

Lincheng, flags were flying, and the army set out and directly entered the territory of Zongzhou.

"Your Highness, the city ahead is Yuncheng, Zongzhou. There are 30,000 city guards here. It is our first stop."

On the way, Cao Zhengchun introduced some basic information about Zongzhou.

Long Tian was still thinking about how to occupy a place in Zongzhou. He came here with a large army this time, not to serve the old emperor.

Zongzhou is not much different from the northern border. It has more than 30 cities. Because of the rebellion, the small Zongzhou now has nearly 2.5 million troops.

Compared to the population of more than 20 million, these troops are already very large.

With such a large force, not to mention whether it is troublesome to deal with it, if the loss is too great, it will have a great impact on the economy, agriculture and stability of the entire Zongzhou.

After all, these people are all young and middle-aged people in Zongzhou, and almost all of them have some cultivation.

What Long Tian wants is a complete Zongzhou, not a crippled Zongzhou, but it is too difficult to do it.

"Your Highness, there is no need to rush at this time. We have too little information. Let's wait until we reach Zongzhou and learn more about it."

"Besides, there are many unusual aspects of the rebellion in Zongzhou, and we need to figure it out first."

Jia Xu understood Long Tian's thoughts and persuaded him.

Long Tian also knew that this matter could not be rushed.

Soon, the army arrived at Yuncheng.

Yuncheng naturally discovered that the army was coming. Although it came from the north and was not a rebel army, Yuncheng was still ready for battle.

The city gate was closed and the soldiers on the city were ready.

"The prince of the north, Long Tian, ​​was ordered to quell the rebellion. Open the city gate quickly and make way."

Li Cunxiao shouted and informed Yuncheng.

At the same time, the Zhenbei Army stopped advancing to give the other side time to react.

Soon, a crack opened in the city gate, and a man who looked like a general rode out on horseback.

"I, the humble general, greet His Royal Highness, the Crown Prince. May I ask if His Royal Highness has an imperial edict?"

Yuncheng is considered the border of Zongzhou, and the actions are more cautious. Long Tian also understands this and does not embarrass the other party. Dian Wei threw the imperial edict to the other party.

"Your Highness, wait a moment. I will go back and report immediately."

After confirming that the imperial edict was correct, the young general returned directly to Yuncheng. Soon after, the city gate opened and a group of people walked out.

"I am Li He, the Lord of Yuncheng, and I greet His Royal Highness."

Although the prince of a prince has no official position, his title is much more useful than that of a city lord.

"Sir, you are polite."

"This prince was ordered to quell the rebellion. The matter is urgent, so I will not be polite. May I ask Sir Li, how did the rebellion in Zongzhou happen, and what is the situation now?"

Long Tian did not hesitate and asked directly.

"Your Highness, this is quite strange. There was no sign before the rebellion, but soon after the rebellion began, the scale of the rebels grew rapidly, and many cities were caught off guard and lost one after another."

"Although it has not affected our Yuncheng yet, the rebels not only occupy more than a dozen cities, but also have the signs of continuing to send troops to expand."

"Your Highness came very timely. We have city guards who are not good at fighting, and each city is still independent. Once the rebels attack, it will be difficult to resist."

Li He told the truth. After all, the situation in Zongzhou is easy to find out.

"According to what you said, the rebels are not far from King Wen. Why didn't King Wen send troops to quell the rebellion?"

This is also what Long Tian doesn't understand. Although the rebels are developing very quickly, the 500,000 Jingbian troops in King Wen's hands are regular elites. If they were sent to quell the rebellion when the rebellion momentum just started, I believe they can definitely control the situation.

"Your Highness, it is said that King Wen wants to guard the border and guard against the alliance of various countries. The army cannot move lightly, and we can only rely on us to quell the rebellion."

Li He also did not understand.

"Okay, there is no time to lose. This prince will not waste time and lead the army to leave."

This place is far away from the battlefield. There is no point staying here.

"Yes, Your Highness."

Next, Long Tian ledThe army was on the road, and they passed through several cities on the way smoothly. These city lords did not know much about the situation in Zongzhou.

Since the rebellion began, these city lords have only cared about their own little land, recruited soldiers and horses, and kept an eye on the movements of the rebels. As for other things, they did not investigate in detail.

Ten days later, the army finally arrived at the front line, Yucheng. After passing here, the city in front is in the hands of the rebels.

"Your Highness, you came too timely. The rebels have begun to move towards us. It is estimated that tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, my Yucheng will become a battlefield."

The speaker was Yucheng City Lord Yu Hualong, and the one accompanying him was Yucheng garrison commander Zhang Yang.

The rebels began to expand, which made the two anxious. With the 50,000 or 60,000 city guards in their hands, it was impossible to stop the rebels.

At this critical moment, Long Tian arrived with his army.

Yu Hualong didn't care who Long Tian was. At this time, the ones who could lead troops to rescue them were all relatives.

"This prince came here by imperial order, so he will not watch the rebels being arrogant. Lord Yu, rest assured, I will fight to quell the rebellion. From now on, this prince will take up the banner."

"Lord Yu, please notify the dozen cities in the rear to immediately send half of the city guards to assist this prince in quelling the rebellion."

"This prince came here by imperial order, and all cities need to cooperate with me. If anyone pretends to obey but secretly disobeys, they will all be charged with treason. I hope Lord Yu will convey this prince's words to other city lords and defenders."

As he spoke, Long Tian took out the imperial edict and handed it to Yu Hualong.

This was Jia Xu's suggestion. Since Long Tian came here by imperial order, he should be in charge of the overall situation. Although the imperial edict did not explicitly order Long Tian to command the overall situation, it was reasonable for Long Tian to hold the imperial edict and issue orders.

Long Tian came to Zongzhou for his own purpose. While quelling the rebellion, he also had to take the opportunity to control the army. As long as he gradually seized the military power of Zongzhou, the rest would be easy.

Moreover, Jia Xu believed that the people behind the scenes had considerable power in Zongzhou. Only 60,000 Zhenbei troops and 10,000 Tianlong guards were not enough. More troops must be controlled to achieve the final success.

Therefore, Long Tian gave the order without hesitation.
