I, who plundered the heavens, had a hundred thousand dead men

…

Upon hearing Bowen's question, Qin Zhan, who was riding a horse and dressed in black, laughed out loud.

"Take my question from Black Tiger Camp? Bao Wenhan, why do you rely on it? Do you just rely on these crooked melons and cracked dates from your Xuanwei Camp?"

At the other end of the street, the leader, Bao Wenhan, heard what Qin Zhan said, and his face suddenly became extremely ugly.

At the same time, his heart felt as if a bucket of water had been poured down on him, making him feel much calmer.

Because what Qin Zhan said was completely true. Regarding the combat effectiveness displayed by Black Tiger Camp, even though Bao Wenhan's Xuanwei Camp had more than a thousand people in total.

But if a fight breaks out, his Xuanwei camp will only be tortured.

And this does not include the losses accumulated during the siege in the past few hours.

If we include these losses and the more than 100 people killed by Black Tiger Camp, the current Xuanwei Camp probably only has about 700 to 800 people.

On the other hand, Black Tiger Camp itself did not suffer any losses.

After fighting all night, only the ordinary people among the level 2 dead soldiers suffered varying degrees of injuries.

But these injuries are not fatal. After all, the soldiers in Black Tiger Camp are all Li Yang's most elite level 2 dead soldiers.

At this moment, on the street, Qin Zhan's words not only made Bao Wenhan look ugly, but also made him calm down a lot, so Bao Wenhan could only put down his harsh words and say.

"Qin Zhan, don't be too proud. I will definitely report what happened tonight to Duke Sheng. Then I will see how you explain it to Duke Sheng."

"It's not your turn to worry about it now. By the way, Bao Wenhan, you'd better restrain the crooked melons under your Xuanwei camp and let them look at me from now on. People in Black Tiger camp should stay away.

Otherwise, if something bloody happened, don't blame me for not reminding you."

"Let's go!"

As soon as Qin Zhan finished speaking, he pulled the reins of the horse and headed directly in the direction of Bao Wenhan.

When Bao Wenhan and the bandits behind him saw this, they all gave way to a path.

Because the momentum brought by Qin Zhan and these uniformly dressed Black Tiger Camp soldiers was too strong. Facing this momentum, these bandits and bandits from Xuanwei Camp had no confidence to fight with them.

Especially since their leader Bao Wenhan just gave in.

As the saying goes, one soldier is a raging army, and a den of raging soldiers will be raging. As the leader, Bao Wenhan is now giving in. How can these little minions have the courage to face the overwhelming momentum of the Black Tiger Camp.

Soon, when all the soldiers from the Black Tiger Camp left.

The cronies around Bao Wenhan asked Bao Wenhan cautiously.

"Commander, what should we do now?"

"Humph, the people of Black Tiger Camp will not be proud for long. When the Holy Duke enters the city, I want to see how the Black Tiger Camp represents the Holy Duke."

"Tell brothers not to provoke those people from Black Tiger Camp."

"Yes, Commander!"

In Lin'an City, inside a huge mansion.

"Commander, here is the firearms depot secretly built by the Wu Dynasty in Lin'an. There are not only a large amount of gunpowder and firearms, but also many craftsmen who make gunpowder and firearms."

"Very good. This place must be strictly guarded. No one will be allowed to come without my order."

"In addition, the craftsmen who make gunpowder and firearms must also ensure their safety. These people will be of great use to us in the future."

It turned out that when Qin Zhan's Heihu camp entered the city, they directly dispatched two hundred-man troops to rush to the location of the gunpowder depot.

And because of the detailed information provided by the imperial court, they already knew the specific location of the gunpowder depot in Lin'an City.

Therefore, the Black Tiger Camp led by Qin Zhan directly occupied this huge gunpowder depot without much effort at all.

…

Early the next morning, Wudu Palace.

"Quick! Urgent report! Urgent report!"

"Lin'an City was lost!"

Soon after learning the urgent news in the Yangxin Hall of the imperial palace, Emperor Zhou Zhe quickly summoned the Prime Minister Qin Siyuan who had re-entered the court.

"Prime Minister, a group of thieves have appeared in Lin'an City. It is the military center of our Wu Dynasty and the granary of the world. If something goes wrong, not to mention the Northern Expedition to Jingguo, even a full meal will be affected.

.”

"The war in Lin'an cannot be delayed! Therefore, the Northern Expedition must be considered in the long run!"

In Zhou Zhe's mind, he did not want to send troops to the Northern Expedition at all, because the Northern Expedition would consume a lot of money and food from the treasury, and Zhou Zhe was also afraid that if the Northern Expedition failed, the losses to the Wu Dynasty would be too great.

Upon hearing Zhou Zhe's lament, Qin Siyuan on the side immediately answered.

"Please rest assured, your majesty, there are a large number of elites from our secret reconnaissance department in Lin'an City, and there are Wude battalions in the city to deal with the bandits. The situation in Lin'an City will be stabilized in the near future."

"It will definitely not affect our dynasty's plan to conquer the north."

"Moreover, I have a perfect strategy."

Qin Siyuan was the main fighting faction of the Wu Dynasty, and he wanted to recover the lost territory occupied by the Liang Kingdom a few years ago.

As for the current loss of Lin'an City, Qin Siyuan obviously didn't take it to heart at all.

Because he knew that Lin'an City was suddenly occupied by bandits, and there must be someone behind it. The purpose was to prevent the Wu Dynasty from sending troops northward.

"Tell me about it!" When Zhou Zhe heard this, he immediately became interested.

"Not long after Jingguo annexed Liangguo, its vitality was severely weakened. I suggested that Dong Daofu lead the army to go north first."

"At the same time, we are sending two young generals to lead the imperial army south, and cooperate with our troops in Lin'an City. In less than a month, we can get rid of the bandits and recover Lin'an City."

"Then the imperial army will bring all the gunpowder and firearms and head north to meet General Dong. Jing will be defeated!"

After listening to Qin Siyuan's suggestion, Zhou Zhe still felt that something was wrong.

“Lao Qin is really thoughtful and worthy of being entrusted by the late emperor!

After saying this, Zhou Zhe changed the subject, but said in a calm tone.

"It's just that the court is off today and no state affairs will be discussed."

"Back off!"

"Your Majesty!" Qin Siyuan's expression immediately changed when he heard this. Just when he was about to continue saying something, Qin Siyuan saw that Zhou Zhe had turned around, and his intention to see off the guests was already very obvious.

Seeing this situation, Qin Siyuan could only bow and exit the room.

Shortly after Qin Siyuan left, Zhou Zhe sent people to find He Yuanchang, the grand master of the dynasty.

After seeing Taishi He, Zhou Zhe immediately asked Taishi He anxiously.

"Grand Master, there are bandits in Lin'an now, and this matter of the Northern Expedition..."

"Don't worry, Your Majesty. I have already thought of a perfect strategy for Your Majesty, which can not only help Your Majesty in the Northern Expedition, but also quell the rebellion in Lin'an City."

Afterwards, Master He quickly told Zhou Zhe his plan, and after hearing this, Zhou Zhe naturally agreed with it and immediately asked Master He to act according to the plan.

Because Zhou Zhe now has no desire to go north to use troops against Jingguo.
