The Heavens: Civilization Cultivator
Chapter 81: The City of Wujing is Destroyed
Lei Cang enters the palace to meet King Ren.
Nearly thirty years have passed, and the king who has been drinking and drinking all the year round still hasn't died.
But his time is numbered.
Things really did not go as Lei Cang expected, the King of People summoned him, precisely because he wanted him to lead his troops to conquer the rebels of the White Lotus Sect and drive them out of Yuanzhou.
Of course, it would be better if Lei Cang could break into Cangzhou and wipe out the White Lotus Sect completely.
Lei Cang also took this opportunity to open his mouth, asking the king for a large amount of military expenses and food, and he also asked for 50,000 more soldiers and horses.
And among the 50,000 soldiers, there are 1,000 dragoons who belonged directly to the king.
They can be said to be the elite among the elite in the increasingly corrupt Wu Dynasty army, and they still maintain a strong combat power.
All these requirements were satisfied one by one by the human king, and he directly gave Lei Cang a soldier talisman that could mobilize another 50,000 soldiers and 1,000 dragon cavalry.
Then in the early morning of the next day, the King of People announced to all the officials that Lei Cang was appointed as the general to quell the rebels and went to quell the rebellion in Yuanzhou.
Regarding Lei Cang's appointment, none of the officials questioned and advised him.
Because the current Wu Dynasty court has long been respected by the followers of Lei Cang's faction.
This point can be seen from the fact that Lei Cang received a secret report last night and knew the reason why the king summoned him.
There are also Lei Cang's chess pieces all over the palace.
Officials of other factions dared to be angry but did not dare to speak out.
What's more, the crusade against the traitors is a major matter of the imperial court, and they have no reason to prevent the king from appointing Lei Cang, so as to prevent Lei Cang from becoming more powerful.
"I take orders!" Lei Cang, who was in armor and went to the court, received the imperial edict from the inner official.
Then Lei Cang rushed to the military camp outside Wujing city without stopping.
The major events of the country lie in sacrifice and Rong.
From ancient times to the present, sacrifices and wars have been inseparable.
Before going out for the expedition, Lei Cang, as usual, offered sacrifices to the gods and issued a call for thieves to boost the morale of the army.
"Let's go!!"
Lei Cang, who was riding a tall horse with a solemn expression, waved his arms and ordered the army to set off for Yuanzhou.
Hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses moved in unison, heading towards Yuanzhou mightily.
And behind them, there are hundreds of thousands of corvee people, providing food and grass for the army.
Lei Cang looked at the dragoons on the side of the army, thinking about how to bring them under his command.
"You need to find an opportunity."
...
When Lei Cang led an army to Yuanzhou to fight against the traitors of the White Lotus Sect, and had just returned the two cities from the hands of the White Lotus Sect.
In the northern grassland, the armies of the three nomadic tribes of "Qiurong Kingdom", "Mulan Kingdom" and "Dijue Kingdom" broke through the border and plundered all the way south! !
We must know that natural disasters have occurred frequently in recent years, and not only one place in the Wu Dynasty has been affected.
The grasslands in the north also lost a lot. The pastures on the grasslands were affected by the drought, and the output of cattle, sheep and horses was greatly reduced.
So in order to survive, these three grassland nomads have frequently traveled south to invade Youzhou in the Wu Dynasty in recent years.
The Wu Dynasty did not have the Great Wall, a building designed to resist nomads.
Over the years, the armies of the three major nomadic countries have taken advantage of the speed of their cavalry to grab a lot of food and people from Youzhou in the Wu Dynasty.
Now the Wu Dynasty has a total of 700,000 to 800,000 soldiers and horses, but most of them are distributed in the states and borders, and are commanded by the prefects and generals of each state to eliminate rebels and resist foreign invasion.
This time Lei Cang can be said to have taken away most of Wu Dynasty's soldiers and horses in Shenzhou.
Inside and outside Wujing City, there are only less than 80,000 Imperial Guards left to defend the capital.
Moreover, the 80,000 imperial guards, under the erosion of the powerful for hundreds of years, have become their gold-plated land, and the combat effectiveness of the army is worrying.
After hearing about this incident, the senior leaders of the grassland nomadic country immediately realized that there was an opportunity to take advantage of.
So they ordered their soldiers and horses at once, and led their troops south again.
They originally wanted to take this opportunity to plunder and leave, but who knew that the army of the Wu Dynasty had been corrupted so far, and facing their attacks, they would often be defeated with one blow.
Seeing this situation, the kings of the three grassland countries were overjoyed, and suddenly became much more courageous.
They attacked the hinterland of Youzhou from the north all the way, and went straight to Shenzhou.
The ferocity of the grassland army frightened King Ren, and he quickly ordered the prefects of various states to lead the army to escort them.
Even Lei Cang, who was attacking the rebels, received an order to lead an army of 100,000 back quickly.
...
"God help me too."
Yuanzhou, Konghong City, City Lord's Mansion.
Lei Cang slapped the secret report in his hand on the table and burst out laughing.
What was written on it was the news that the three major prairie countries sent troops to Wujing City of Shenzhou.
At this moment, the imperial edict for Lei Cang and the prefects of various states to escort him urgently has just left Wujing City.
It can be seen from this that Lei Cang's intelligence system is so good, it can be said to spread all over the world! !
"You want me to escort you?" Lei Cang sneered, his eyes sparkling, as if he was thinking of a plan.
"It's time for a change of dynasty in this world."
"The king of men should change to someone else."
Everyone in the City Lord's Mansion is Lei Cang's confidant, and Lei Cang is not afraid that this word will be spread.
"Notify the shadow guards, let them try their best to persuade the rebels everywhere, send troops to delay the soldiers and horses of the states, and prevent them from going to rescue the king so quickly."
Lei Cang's face was grim: "I want the king to die!"
"yes!"
Lei Cang fully mobilized the dark power he had accumulated for twenty or thirty years.
Not long after, the rebellion of Bishop Ya, Zoroastrianism and other rebels rose sharply, and wars raged everywhere.
The soldiers and horses of the prefects and generals of the states were exhausted, and they were constantly fighting the rebels in various places.
The same is true for Lei Cang's side, he dispatched troops overnight to attack the territory of the White Lotus Sect, with the intention of invading Cangzhou in one fell swoop.
When the envoy sent by King Ren arrives, Lei Cang's army is in full swing with the White Lotus Sect.
"What? The three kingdoms of the grassland have invaded on a large scale, and they have broken through Youzhou and entered Shenzhou?"
Lei Cang was 'shocked' after receiving the edict, repeatedly expressing that he would withdraw his troops to escort him.
But the White Lotus Sect attacked fiercely, and most of Lei Cang's army was held back by the White Lotus Sect, unable to escape.
In desperation, Lei Cang had no choice but to lead an army of 30,000 to return to aid lightly.
The remaining 70,000 troops, especially the 1,000 dragoons, stayed to resist the White Lotus Sect.
But even the 20,000-strong army was on the way back to help, and was harassed by a small group of rebels from time to time, and the marching speed could not be increased.
When Lei Cang led the army back to Shenzhou, it was less than a hundred miles away from Wujing City.
A bad news came.
The city of Wujing is broken! The king of men is trapped in the palace!
Lei Cang was 'shocked' on the surface, and led the army to Wujing City to escort them without stopping.
In fact, he sneered inwardly.
Although the imperial guards in Wujing City are bad, there are also many martial arts masters.
No matter what, it is impossible to be breached by the army of the Three Kingdoms on the grassland who is not good at attacking the city in such a short period of time.
This was naturally Lei Cang's handwriting.
After all, only when the orthodox king and royal family of the Wu Dynasty are dead, can Lei Cang have the opportunity to take over the inheritance left by the Wu Dynasty.
