Happy Little Scholar

Filling your stomach and ensuring survival are the most basic demands of being born as a human being.

The chief general of the Five States Coalition has been killed by the rebellious lieutenant. There is no way to know what his mentality is. As the chief general, he actually made such a big mistake. When all the soldiers in the army could not fill their stomachs, he would order the siege even if he died.

When Wei Liang and his men went out of the city to receive the rebels, they did not encounter much resistance. Those who resisted were all captured by their companions.

More than 10,000 people consume a lot of food every day. However, Yang Liuqing cannot do the abuse of prisoners. Fortunately, Cangzhou is different from the past. The most lacking thing is food. There will be no food crisis in the short term.

Wei Liang and his men disrupted and reorganized the surrendered soldiers in the shortest time and took them out of Cangzhou.

Nanzhou, Linzhou and other places are now in their hands. They must take these people back to defend as soon as possible to avoid new changes.

So far, Yang Liuqing and his men have owned six states, and the number of troops under their control has reached more than 20,000.

Cangzhou has now become the rear area. Some people are left in Cangzhou, and the rest are to be sent to Nanzhou and other places that have become the front line in batches...

Twenty thousand troops are not many, and the next step is to further expand the team. They are already familiar with this. Under the attraction of high welfare, within a few months, the troops in her hands will increase exponentially.

When Nanzhou and other five states are completely settled, she will have a powerful army in her hands that can fight wherever she points, win every battle, and conquer every city...

In the era when all countries generally use cold weapons, as long as they don't encounter Jingguo, which has a God's perspective, after some training, they can almost sweep away everything in front of them with a sweeping posture with Tianfa, cannons, muskets, and various firearms...

Nanzhou, Linzhou, Yunzhou, Huazhou, Tongzhou, and five states fell at the same time. The coalition forces of the five states were defeated in attacking Cangzhou, and the governor of Nanzhou died. The coalition forces were incorporated by Princess Duanrong. Since then, the forces headed by Princess Duanrong have occupied six states in the northwest of Wu State and become the undisputed overlord...

Once this news spread, it spread rapidly in the territory of Wu State at a very fast speed.

Fuzhou.

Fuzhou is also located in the northwest of Wu State, but unlike Nanzhou and other places, it is not under the jurisdiction of the court.

A few years ago, Emperor Wu launched a rebellion, killed his brother and father, and took the throne. The governor of Fuzhou rebelled against the court on the grounds that Emperor Wu violated the will of heaven, and called himself "King Kang". Because Fuzhou has a geographical advantage and is easy to defend but difficult to attack, the court has encircled and suppressed it several times in recent years, but all ended in failure. They took this opportunity to develop and grow, and now they are one of the most powerful forces in the northwest of Wu State.

Of course, now they can only be ranked second or third.

At this time, the former governor of Fuzhou, now the "King Kang", lost his usual calmness and paced around the mansion until someone walked into the hall quickly. He immediately raised his head and asked anxiously: "Is the news wrong? Princess Duanrong really captured five states in a row, and the five states coalition was defeated?"

The young man who walked in nodded and said solemnly: "My lord, the specific situation is still unknown, but including Nanzhou, the five states have indeed hung the flag of Princess Duanrong. There is news that the five states coalition led by the governor of Nanzhou had just left, and then someone captured the five states on the same night and controlled the government offices of all parties. I thought it was a quarrel between the snipe and the clam, but I didn't expect that both the snipe and the fisherman were Princess Duanrong's people!"

"King Kang "After a moment of silence, he asked again: "It is rumored that Princess Duanrong possesses the Heavenly Punishment of Jingguo. Is this news true or false?"

"This news has not been finally confirmed..." The young man pondered for a moment, and then slowly said: "I just heard that when the Five States Coalition Army was two miles away from Cangzhou City, a meteorite from outer space fell into the military camp. Its power was not weaker than the Heavenly Punishment of Jingguo, and the coalition army suffered heavy casualties..., and when they attacked the city, the thunderous roar could be clearly heard more than ten miles away..."

The King Kang murmured: "That should be correct..."

"Could it be that Princess Duanrong surrendered to Jingguo?" His face showed a look of doubt. Fuzhou is not far from Nanzhou and other places. If they move forward, they will soon reach the city of Fuzhou.

He has the confidence to resist the attack of the court, but he has no confidence to defeat the Heavenly Punishment of Jingguo...

King Kang thought about it, and a trace of worry appeared on his face, "Let's wait and see for now!"

Lingzhou

Lingzhou governor, governor, and important officials in the state, all had fear on their faces.

"They really took over five states!"

"Quick, send someone to send a message to the imperial capital!"

"Lingzhou is in danger!"

In the southern part of Wu State, a state capital was occupied somewhere.

Several famous rebel kings gathered.

"Princess Duanrong is making a comeback?"

"Cangzhou, Nanzhou, Linzhou..., they have actually taken over six states!"

"If we wait until they grow up, won't they become stumbling blocks on the road to our great cause?"

...

Wu State was already a pool of muddy water with surging waves. What Princess Duanrong did in the northwest was more like a boulder thrown into the water, which set off waves that could stir up the entire Wu State.

In the northwest, whether it was the government or the rebels, people were panicking, worried that they would become the next Nanzhou. In other places, the vigilance against Princess Duanrong was instantly raised to several levels.

In the imperial capital, deep in the palace, the imperial study.

Several eunuchs and palace maids knelt on the ground, their heads buried low, trembling.

Emperor Wu had already smashed the imperial study into a state of disarray, knocking down bookshelves, overturning tables and chairs, but he was still upset.

He kicked several eunuchs and maids over one after another. His eyes were blood red and he roared: "Trash, they are all trash. Five states cannot conquer a single Cangzhou. What's the use of raising these trash!"

His face was full of anger, but few people could see the deep fear hidden behind the anger.

He lifted up the overturned chair, sat on it, and said loudly, "Here comes..."

"Your Majesty!" A eunuch came in from outside the palace, walked in front of him, and bowed slightly.

"Baibaili, hurry up and inform the government stations everywhere. If you meet that female senior..." He breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Tell her that I already have information about "Xu Tian". As long as she helps me kill him, If you find Princess Duanrong, I will tell her where Xu Tian is."

The eunuch looked up at him and whispered: "But Your Majesty, we don't know where the person she is looking for is..."

"I am the emperor, I am the king of a country, and she is also a citizen of the Wu Kingdom. What happened if I asked her to kill someone? Does she have the qualifications to bargain with me?"

Looking at Emperor Wu who suddenly became furious, the eunuch lowered his head and said in a deep voice: "I obey the order."

…

After Yang Liuqing and the others captured these states, there was no movement from the Wu Kingdom government near Nanzhou. However, several major rebel forces in the surrounding area sent people over to express their goodwill, fearing that Yang Liuqing would aim his cannon at the next step. them.

In fact, this is completely unnecessary. They have just taken over such a large area, and it is too late to stabilize the governance and expand the organization. If you have time to talk to them, they don't need to express goodwill.

When things here are over and Cangzhou, Nanzhou and other six states are connected together, they will no longer have to express goodwill. Sooner or later, they will use cannons to blast open their city gates...

Of course, if you don't reach out and hit the smiling person, even if you are an enemy, you can't turn against him at this time.

Wei Liang and the others also kindly took the envoys sent by various forces to watch a military drill. The cannons of the Heavenly Punishment Cannon were fired. It is said that when they saw the red cannon blasting out two miles away, a house was razed. When the ground was leveled, there were people on the spot who couldn't even stand still...

The energy that can be saved should be saved. If there is no need for force to coerce and no need for cannons to blast open their city gates, they can surrender voluntarily, which is naturally the best.

Ruyi came back two days ago. They used the same methods as those in the chaotic land to eliminate all the bandits in the five states. There is no need to worry about future public security issues.

However, after they leave, Yang Liuqing's safety needs to be paid special attention to.

If something happens to her, everything she did before will be meaningless.

After a while, Ruyi will leave with him, and Mr. Xu will definitely not want to stay. She also has experts from the Liu League beside her, and her own strength is not bad. As long as the other party is not a master, it will not be a big deal. The problem.

Although the possibility of meeting a master is too small, don't be afraid of ten thousand, just be afraid of the eventuality.

Li Yi walked out of the yard and looked up at the sky.

How great would it be if a master could fall from the sky and stay by her side to protect her?

In a certain state of Wu Kingdom, an old man with white hair and beard was riding on a horse, with a hint of worry on his face.

He clamped the horse's belly and shook the reins. There was only a trail of smoke and dust on the official road.

The smoke points to the direction of Cangzhou!
