Volume 1 The East China Sea Dilemma Chapter 42 The East China Sea Rebellion
In the year 921 of the summer calendar, in May, Duanyang Festival, there was a riot in Linzi City in the East China Sea, and Suihou Nangong Sui, who was imprisoned in the prison, and his son Nangong Que was rescued.
In June, Nangong raised troops in Jishui County, on the border between the East China Sea and North Mongolia, and conquered Weiyang and Hancheng all the way to the south, and held off with the defenders of Huayin Mountain.
At this time, Nangong Sui had occupied the land of the three cities, and received the funding of Beimeng, with 3,000 soldiers to defeat the defenders of the cities in the East China Sea, and threatened to kill Linzi to replace them.
The entire East China Sea was furious, and they threatened to send troops to fight. Jiang Zhen then sent Ji Chuan, the commander of the imperial martial arts battalion, to lead 5,000 soldiers and horses to Huayin Mountain.
However, less than a day after the army marched to Huayin Mountain, it fell into Nangong's plan and was attacked on the mountainside, Ji Chuan was stoned to death, and the whole army was annihilated.
When the news reached Linzi, the angry Jiang Zhen transferred the 20,000 Yu Lin Wei stationed outside Linzi City to quell the rebellion, thinking that Yu Lin Wei could wipe out Nangong Sui with the autumn wind sweeping the leaves, but the result was a big surprise.
At first, after Yulinwei's 20,000 men arrived at Huayin Mountain, they encountered Nangong Sui's 2,000 rangers, defeated them without much effort, successfully crossed Huayin Mountain, and came to a small town outside Hancheng, preparing to camp for a night's rest and then march the next day.
But the strange thing is that early the next morning, there was no one in the whole town, and 20,000 people disappeared without a trace.
When the spy talked about this in front of the King of the East China Sea, his whole person was trembling, not because he was shocked by Jiang Zhen's might, but because this strange thing made him cold.
He saw with his own eyes that 20,000 Lin Wei had entered that town, but early the next morning, the entire town was empty! He was very sure that the 20,000 people had not been evacuated, and there was no trace of a fight at the scene, and more than 20,000 people had disappeared out of thin air!
All this cannot be explained by common sense, and can only be explained by ghosts and gods.
"Your Majesty, it must be the demons of hell who have taken them away! Right! It's a demon! The more the spy thought about it, the more frightened he became, and he couldn't control himself in an instant, and the whole person had already begun to go crazy.
"Misceiving the crowd! Come! Pull him out and cut him down! Jiang Zhen roared angrily.
"Nangong Sui! cough cough ......" Jiang Zhen slapped his hand on the table, but because he was angry, he coughed violently.
"Father, are you alright?" Jiang Fu asked a little nervously.
"Ahem... Cough... It's okay to be alone! It's just that Nangong Sui rebelled, if it drags on any longer, our East China Sea will be over! β
If this matter continues to ferment, then the entire East China Sea will know that some people are just afraid that they are ready to take a bite of the ripe peach of the East China Sea.
"Father, rest assured, Erchen will definitely kill Nangong and his son as soon as possible! Shock those who are petty people! β
"But my father can't draw many soldiers and horses, the imperial military camp in Linzi can't be transferred anymore, and there are only 30,000 Yulin guards outside the city, so I have to guard against Muyangjun and these people! I can only think of a way from Taishan County, but Taishan County Shouyunshu ...... Mu Jun failed to give them an explanation for the matter of snatching the jade gourd, but I am afraid that he will be resistant......" Jiang Yun said worriedly.
Jiang Fu was silent, he knew the current embarrassing situation in the East China Sea. If the defenders of each city alone could not bear Nangong Sui. But now the royal family has no troops to adjust, but it has to be suppressed.
"It's really not good, let Pingyang-kun go......" Jiang Zhen sighed and said.
Jiang Fu immediately objected, "No! Father, the Li Xuan Army under Pingyang Jun may solve this crisis, but after solving Nangong Sui, will he easily hand over these three cities? In doing so, it fuels their ambitions! Father, the situation you have worked so hard to manage for so many years has come to naught! β
"Father, how can I not know...... But now there is no way to do it! Son'er, you go to Huayin Mountain to investigate the disappearance of these 20,000 Yu Lin Wei. Leave the matter of counterinsurgency to Pingyangjun! β
"Yes, Father." Jiang Fu had no choice but to leave lonely.
At this time in Jishui County, the situation of Nangong Sui and Nangong Que's father and son was different from them, and the father and son looked happy.
"Daddy! Next, we should go out of Huayin Mountain and take the cities in the East China Sea one by one! β
Nangong squinted his eyes and shook his head, "Not for the time being, there is no chaos in the East China Sea, and sending troops now is no different from self-destruction!" Now take Huayin Mountain as a natural danger and refuse to defend the mountain! Even if the East China Sea crosses Huayin Mountain, Yama Town can completely resist it! What we have to do now is to fight hard, and just wait for the chaos in the East China Sea to go out of Huayin! β
"Is my father overly worried? The child thinks that the army of the East China Sea is like that! The five thousand elites of the Imperial Martial Arts Battalion are all vulnerable! Nangong Que said disapplaudedly
"The strength of the Imperial Martial Arts Battalion is not weak, although the three thousand elites trained by my father over the years can win on the frontal battlefield, it will never be so easy ( ΛΜΆΜ€Μ κ³ ΛΜΆΜ€Μ ) easy! Que'er, you have to remember that marching and fighting is not a competition of numbers and bravery, but a competition of strategy and morale! β
"Hey, hey... Dad, you're right! The child remembered hahahahahahaha Nangong Que said with a smile.
"You!" Nangong Sui showed a doting look in his eyes, "You go down first!" For the father, I will have to convene a few generals to discuss the meeting! β
Now he doesn't have many troops in his hands, except for the 3,000 elites he trained in Jishui County very early, and the 5,000 people gathered before the uprising, there are only more than 6,000 people in these three cities. There are only 14,000 people at full level, and just this kind of people, wanting to replace the king of the East China Sea is tantamount to an idiot's dream!
Don't look at the few victories that have already been won in front of you, the morale of the soldiers is already high. But he knew that if he attacked the cities of the East China Sea again, it would not be as simple as it was now!
There are not many generals under his command who know how to march and fight, only some martial artists can be generals who charge into battle! Therefore, he personally makes any decision, so as to ensure that nothing goes wrong.
However, it is precisely because he personally makes decisions on big and small matters that some generals with average loyalty feel disgusted and feel that he is too domineering.
"General Lu, what happened to those 20,000 Lin Wei in Yan Luo Town?" He asked.
Lu Ping is now his own general, commanding the three armies. At this time, he was wearing heavy armor, which was a little different from the usual clothes before.
Lu Ping knelt down on one knee and said loudly: "Go back to the Hou Ye!" Those 20,000 people were more loyal to the East China Sea royal family than the last general expected, so they had to continue to be imprisoned! Grind again! β
Nangong Xun nodded in agreement, "We're not in a hurry anyway, it's Jiang Zhen who should be in a hurry!" I'd like to see how long he can last! I will eat as many people as I send! β
"Master Hou! The king of the East China Sea has ordered Pingyang Jun to send troops, but he was refused, I see that the five kings of the East China Sea and their group are all sitting on the mountain watching the tiger fight! β
"Oh?" Nangong Sui smiled unexpectedly, "Pingyang Jun's territory is next to us, if he sends troops, maybe he can annex these three cities!" Why refusal? β
