Everyone got back on the road, but the wind gradually faded, and finally they no longer had to spare a hand to protect their hoods.

Judging from the situation on the road, Xuzhou is in a much better situation than those prefectures and counties north of the Chijiang River, at least there are no people who freeze to death and starve to death on the road, and the vendors still have spare strength, and they can set up stalls to sell some things in exchange for money, everything is so orderly, there is no trace of war.

As for the north, it's already a complete mess.

Except for the big towns, important towns, and state capitals, those small cities have almost been reduced to "dead cities", this dead city is not the other dead city, but there are almost no pedestrians in the city, the shops and vendors are closed, the streets are desolate, and those who don't know think that the whole town and the whole city are empty.

And the main culprit of this situation is because of the so-called "rebel army", most of the rebel army is just a relatively large number of bandits and thieves, although they call themselves rebels, what they do is the work of thieves, adultery, plunder, burning, killing, looting, thieves do what thieves do, thieves do not do, they do it.

Every time they go to a village or a small town, as long as they see that the garrison is inferior to theirs, they will enter the town, rob the rich of their belongings, and the food of the poor, and when they see a woman who suits their hearts, they will directly tie them up and take them away, and they can join them if they want to, whether you are dragging your family or being alone.

Whenever they take something away, they say, "For the sake of righteousness, for the sake of the world." "But it all ends up in their pockets. Sometimes when they dare to resist, or if the way they do something that is slightly undesirable to them, they will even kill the family. Once the officers and soldiers come to pursue them, they will flee in all directions, and if the people who are caught cannot be convicted, they will also surrender immediately, promising that they will never do this again, but as soon as they turn their heads, those displaced people gather together again, and they will become a new "righteous army", and so on.

These "rebels" themselves are actually homeless, they are homeless, and at first they only got together because there were many people and wanted to be safe, but gradually, some ambitious people stood up, "We have such a number, if each of us has a weapon, then we will each of us."

It's all soldiers! Even the soldiers of the state capital are only about the same number as us! In that case, why don't we raise a flag and be the state pastor ourselves? ”

The first major battle of the rebel army, the target was Hanoi County in Sizhou, the besieging people were known as 100,000, on the first day of their attack, the county guard of Hanoi County saw the overwhelming enemy, and was not frightened away, but directly climbed the city wall to command the defense, and soon, he found that the people who came to attack the city this time were a group of rabble, the siege cowered, everyone was afraid of death, so more people would die, their weapons and equipment were backward, most of them were hoes and sickles and the like, and there were still a few decent ladders for the siege, But their strength and courage are hard, and if they have to say anything, they don't even have the level of ordinary bandits.

So the county guard found the opportunity, launched a counterattack in Haishi, with 300 cavalry, 1,000 infantry troops, and actually chased the "righteous army" known as 100,000 for dozens of miles, and killed a lot of "righteous army" soldiers on the way.

Wang Kun suddenly sighed softly, "This war will still burn to the south after all, and it will be these people who will suffer at that time." ”

"How can you speculate about the hearts of the princes of the world, their thoughts? In the fourteen states of Daxi, there are so many princes, how many people can put the people in their hearts? What they want is the world, not the world. "The person who spoke was Wu Ji, the former lieutenant general of the infantry army, a small centurion.

"How easy is it to fulfill Your Majesty's grand wish and let the light of Daxi shine again?" This time it was Wen Yu who spoke, one of the twelve golden-armored guards who remained in the main hall at the end, and also the leader of the twelve gold-armored guards, in terms of official position, he should also be a centurion, "The royal bloodline is scattered all over the world, but most of them are subject to the local state pastor, not to mention whether the troops in their hands can compete with Tuobyan's army, that is, whether they support us or not, we don't know." ”

"Let's not talk about whether we support it or not," Wu Ji suddenly sneered, "The way we look now, is whether we can see those royal bloodlines."

Say. ”

"Okay, okay," Wang Kun raised his hand and motioned for the two to stop, "Whether you can see it, whether they will support it or not, you have to go to know, now on the road, you two should complain less." ”

"I remember that Guangling County does have a royal line, although it is a side branch, it has not fallen a lot, it is not as good as the heyday, but you still have to go and see it, if you get their response, ask them for a token, or buy it, and when we go to meet other royal relatives in the future, we can also have multiple reasons."

"Guangling is inhabited by royal clansmen?" Wu Ji was stunned, "I thought they all lived in the state capital, in the largest and most luxurious mansion." ”

Wang Kun glanced at him, "The royal family is also divided into three, six, nine and so on, just like your official position, you are a centurion, and you can be treated the same?" Lord Wu, as a centurion, you have to patrol the city wall day and night, facing danger at all times, but Lord Wen's centurion is in the imperial city, and he can still wear gold armor, eat food, live in a place, and take a fortune, and I don't know how much better or taller than you, no matter how bad it is, the centurion of the border is even hungry, the reason is because you are close to the imperial capital, and the royal family is the same, the closer the bloodline is to orthodoxy, the better his treatment will be, and the farther away, the opposite is true. ”

"In that case, why did the prince go to Guangling County?" Wen Yu frowned and said, "I heard that the royal bloodline of Guangling is 108,000 miles away from orthodoxy, but he just guards the title of a royal clan in vain, and he doesn't even have treatment. ”

"The Sword Comes"

"The royal family has a token in his hand, which was distributed by the founding emperor of my Daxi Dynasty, and every vein of the Ye family will have it in his hand, I will go, just to get that token, even if it is to buy or rob, I have to get it." Wang Kun said categorically, then bowed slightly to the two people beside him, and said, "Maybe you will have to rely on your adults when the time comes." ”

"The prince is serious." Wu Ji and Wen Yu clenched their fists at Wang Kun together.

"Okay, there is Guangling County ahead, let's speed up, and after arriving in Guangling County, we will first find a place to live, pack up our bodies, and then visit."

"Yes!"
