Rebirth of the First Emperor

,

spn At the beginning of May, there was great turmoil in Luzhou. Since the end of April, after the 10,000 troops of Wan Sheng, the guardian governor of Luzhou, were defeated by the Huxiang Army in Yixin, various forces that had been lurking in the dark began to make moves.

On the third day of the fifth lunar month, Luzhou Celestial Master Daqu Commander Ye Jianquan ordered troops from all counties to besiege Huxiang and Yixin. The 10,000 Celestial Master Sect troops were destroyed in the small city of Yixin. The prestige of the Tianshi Sect in Luzhou plummeted, and Ye Jianquan was eager to regain his face and had to recruit large armies from various places to attack him.

As a result, the defense lines of the towns below Luzhou were empty. It happened that at this time, the imperial court of Qi issued an order that directly led to the great turmoil in Luzhou.

Although the official forces in Luzhou suffered a major blow, some of the officers and soldiers always fled into the mountains and old forests. After this part of the officers and soldiers fled into the mountains and old forests, they actually never cut off contact with the outside world. In line with this, The big families and wealthy gentry were also attacked by Tianshi Cult.

The Celestial Master Sect hates the rich. Since the Celestial Master Sect flourished, several wealthy gentry families have suffered. As a result, the Celestial Master Sect has naturally aroused dissatisfaction among those big families. Basically, the rich gentry of the big families on the way to escape are all Carrying a large amount of money, this money becomes the capital for recruiting troops and horses.[

The Celestial Master Sect rose too fast, and it was based on the interests of a few people. Therefore, many people in the world were dissatisfied with the Celestial Master Sect. The imperial edict was issued, which immediately aroused thousands of waves. It can be said that the entire Qi State suddenly changed. As it turns out, the wave of resistance is getting higher and higher, and Luzhou is just a typical example.

When the Luzhou uprising first broke out, there were more than 150,000 Tianshijiao troops, but most of them were dispersed in various counties and counties in Luzhou to suppress them. The Huxiang Army first defeated Ma Qingliang's more than 10,000 troops, and then overthrew him in Yixin. After defeating ten thousand troops, there are still more than 130,000 people left in Luzhou.

Thirteen thousand people seem to be a lot, but for Luzhou, a continent with 103 counties, the number of troops is still a bit small. The number of troops guarding each county is only more than a thousand people. Guangnan City, as Luzhou, There are 30,000 troops stationed in the state capital. These 30,000 are garrison troops and horses and cannot be mobilized easily. Therefore, if Ye Jianquan wants to attack Ying Zheng, he must mobilize troops and horses from various counties.

All 10,000 troops were destroyed by Ying Zheng. Ye Jianquan learned his lesson and planned to mobilize 20,000 people from various counties and counties to fight this time. The troops were assembled and grain and grass were transported. The action was quite large. However, no matter how big the movement of the Tianshi Sect was, he The news that the 10,000-strong army was directly overthrown by the Huxiang Army outside the city could not be concealed. When such news reached the ears of those who had been lurking, the first thought was that the Tianshi Sect was nothing more than this!

So, they also began to sharpen their knives.

On the tenth day of the fifth lunar month, Luzhou's 20,000 Celestial Master Sect army was assembled in the Annan Plain. Ye Jianquan's purpose was obvious. The Celestial Master Sect was marked with shame by the Huxiang Army on this road, so he should personally fight on this road. Wash away the shame with blood.

Ye Jianquan didn't mean to establish his prestige by doing this, but he took Ying Zheng as the target to establish his prestige, so he seemed to have chosen the wrong person.

"How much food and grass have they got?"

Ying Zheng asked Qi Wenyuan that although Qi Wenyuan only brought 300 people, all of his men were top scouts and intelligence officers. Only then did Ying Zheng understand that the people brought by the Qing family were all elites. It seemed that Qi Wenyuan This time I was more cruel.

"Twenty thousand troops will be used for three days, and some food and grass are being transferred in. According to intelligence, the Tianshi Sect has taken away a total of 20,000 shi of food this time!"

Qi Wenyuan calmly replied, these so-called secrets in the Tianshi Sect, but in the hands of the Guannei Marquis, there is no obstruction at all. The intelligence under his hands is so huge that it is doubtful.

"Well, it seems that the Tianshi Cult's ability to adjust their fortunes is just that. I tried to find a way to rob them of their follow-up food and grass, leaving them with only three days of food and grass. This county really wants to see how they perform this show. !”

After hearing Qi Wenyuan's answer, Ying Zheng smiled contemptuously. The 20,000 stones of grain and grass were probably Ye Jianquan's initial plan. In his opinion, despite the 20,000-strong army attacking day and night, the two small county towns fell easily.

What's more, since Ye Jianquan wants to establish his power, he must use thunderous momentum to attack the city. If he delays, even if he breaks through Yixin, Hu and Hunan cities, the deterrence will be greatly reduced. How can Ye Jianquan do this?

Qi Wenyuan disagreed with Ying Zheng's approach. Even if the rebels' follow-up food and grass were cut off, what would happen? Except for the two counties of Hunan, Xiang and Yixin, the rest of the area was the territory of the Tianshi Sect. Just go to nearby villages and towns and plunder them.

"The top priority should be the 20,000 rebels. Cutting off their food and grass seems to have no effect!"

Since the last time Ying Zheng overthrew Wan Sheng's 10,000-strong army at the Weiming River, Qi Wenyuan admired Ying Zheng. At the same time, he realized more clearly the gap between the two, so whenever something he didn't understand came up, Qi Wenyuan , I will never keep it in my heart, I will definitely feel comfortable speaking it out.

Facing Qi Wenyuan's question, Ying Zheng chuckled, reached out and pulled out a map of Luzhou, gently spread it out, and stroked it carefully. His expression almost made Qi Wenyuan's skin crawl, it was so gentle.

"The Tianshi Sect occupies almost all of the more than 100 counties in Luzhou, and its power is huge. This is inseparably linked to the support of the people. The Tianshi Sect has risen among the people and gained power because of the people. So, the Tianshi Sect The destruction of teachers and teachers must be in the hands of the people, and we are just the movers among them!" [

Ying Zheng's words were more like playing riddles. Qi Wenyuan, a young man who had never been influenced by Chinese culture, didn't understand for a while. He didn't understand why the people who subverted Tianshi's teachings were the common people.

"The Celestial Master Sect is no longer the Celestial Master Sect before. Their nature has changed and they have begun to oppress the people. As long as we work hard on this, the prestige the Celestial Master Sect has accumulated over the past few years will be destroyed. Their efforts , their reputation will disappear quickly like running water!"

"Young man, throughout the ages, dynasties have been fighting for hegemony. The world is not won by the one who wins the hearts of the people. The world is won by the one who wins the hearts and minds of the people. Can you still see it?"

Ying Zheng patted Qi Wenyuan's shoulder heavily. Qi Wenyuan was confused, and his eyes towards Ying Zheng became much more complicated. At this time, Qi Wenyuan felt that Ying Zheng was extremely inconsistent with him on the surface. Why did he feel like the same person? Like an old monster.

"Okay, pass on the order!"

After a while, Ying Zhengcai said quietly,
