Chapter 100: Liangzhou Chaos (3)
Since ancient times, all conquests must be labor expeditions, and there are many casualties. But here in Zhao Wutang and Tian Sui Tho, not only did the army led not fight less and less, but in the process of recovering the counties and counties of Liangzhou, the men and horses fought more and more, and the grain and grass became more and more abundant. This is indispensable to the support of the people of Liangzhou, and the credit of the lurking rebels under Ling Tianlei.
Because of the "Killing Hu Order", the two armies did not encounter any decent obstacles along the way, and the cities they passed through had already been recovered by the lurking rebels and civilians. And the people also put on a gesture of welcome for their arrival. Not only that, but the lurking rebels joined the army with armed men.
The army of Tien Sui Tho is a good example. Under Wuwei and Jincheng, with the help of the people, everything went smoothly. By the time he left Jincheng County, Tian Sui Tho had gathered an army of 20,000 and more than 3,000 cavalry. Although along the way, they also encountered a lot of Xianbei Hu stragglers, but they could see that the army under Tian Sui Tho's command was either scattered as birds and beasts, or was easily exterminated by them. This situation made Luo Shixin very dissatisfied, and he complained a lot, lamenting that they were not here to recover Liangzhou, but to show off their strength with the army.
As the commander of the army, Tian Sui Tho and Jia Xu, who was the military advisor, listened to it, smiled and smiled, and did not speak. Under the circumstance that the "Kill Hu Order" spread all over Liangzhou, the Xianbei Hu of Liangzhou have already been killed under the butcher's knives of the people, how can there be groups of Xianbei Hu against them! However, this situation quickly changed after they entered Longxi County.
Li Shan's scouts sent them the news that the 30,000 troops that Xianbei Hu had placed on the border of Wudu to guard against Yizhou and ambush the Guiyi army had already marched towards Wudu County under the leadership of Dugu Xin, who had fled from Didao City, and Yu Wenshu, the original commander of the army. Duan Liao, the patriarch of the Duan clan, was also sent by Xianbei Hu Dadan Yu Wenpo to collect the defeated army at Xiaoguan and respond to Yuwenshu.
As soon as Tian Sui Tho and Jia Xu put it together, they made the decision to rush to Di Dao and Ling Tianlei's other sworn brother Zhu Sheng to meet before making a decision. So, an army of 20,000 marched towards the city of Didao. A few days later, they finally arrived at the city of Didao.
Hunting the west wind, the battle flag of the word "Qin" fluttered in the wind, and the 20,000 troops slowly marched towards the gate of Didao City in the face of the cold wind. In front is a torrent of black iron armor, and behind is a blood-red patch. Black and red, at this moment, converge between the heavens and the earth, forming an unprecedented spectacular scene.
"He came from heaven and brought the bravest army and the greatest power on earth. He will dye the continent black and red. From then on, no one could stand against him, no one could go against his will. He will be the only ruler of this continent, the only king. Looking at the army from far and near, Zhu Sheng, who was standing on top of the city tower, muttered something.
"General, you are talking about the legend of the Son of Prophecy that has been circulating in the Canglan Continent for thousands of years!" A soldier standing beside him said.
"Yes, I originally thought that Caesar, the Beastmaster, was the legendary son of prophecy, and that his fierce and warlike orc army was unbeatable. In the face of his formidable army, the Celestial Star Empire was defeated, and Xianbei Hu surrendered to him and became his pawn. His army has brought boundless darkness and bloody carnage to the continent. Doesn't this indicate that the whole continent will be dyed red and black!
But now, I have other ideas. Perhaps, I was wrong. It seems that the commander of the Qin army, our young master, is the real son of language! ”
"The general is saying...... They! The guard pointed at Di Dao's slowly approaching Qin army in disbelief.
"No, it should be said that it is us. Black and red, that's not what you're talking about! A torrent of ironclad in black and red armor. Gradually, Zhu Sheng's eyes bloomed with a dazzling light, "Wudu is saved, go, let's go down, I will go to meet them in person!" ”
With that, he walked down the tower with his guards.
At the gate of Didao City, a thousand soldiers in red armor and red armor slowly came out under the leadership of Zhu Shengdi, lined up on both sides of the city gate, waiting for the arrival of Tian Sui Tho's army.
Looking at the formation of the Di Dao Righteous Army, Tian Sui Tho and Jia Xu were a little surprised, they knew who the leader of the lurking Righteous Army in Di Dao City was, he was the sworn brother of Emperor Shenwu when he was in turmoil, and the "White-clothed Swordsman" Zhu Sheng, who was as famous as Wang Yue, the "Sword Saint of the North", among the rangers in Yongliang Erzhou, Zhu Sheng's fame was not at all as famous as Wang Yue's fame among the Northern Rangers. King Xizhu Bei, this Xizhu is talking about him.
Such a person, in order to meet them, actually made such a big move, which made them feel a little flattered.
"Drive! Drive! Tian Sui Tho and Jia Xu rode their horses and galloped towards Zhu Sheng.
"The commander of the Qin army, the general Tian Sui Tho, and the military advisor Jia Xu have seen General Zhu!" Tian Sui Tho and Jia Xu took the lead in saluting Zhu Sheng. He, Zhu Sheng, made such a big battle to welcome them, and they must have something to say.
"General Tian is polite, Jia Junshi is polite!" Zhu Sheng smiled and also hugged his fists in return, and said with a smile, "The two of you are so polite, I really don't know what to let Zhu say!" It seems that only by drinking hard can I express Zhu's gratitude! ”
"Then Sui Tho and Jia Junshi are respectful, it is better to obey their orders!" Tian Sui Tho said with a smile.
"Please!"
"Please!"
After giving the order to Zhao Yun and the others who followed behind them to set up camp outside, Tian Sui Tho and Jia Xu entered the city with Zhu Sheng.
As soon as he entered the city, an atmosphere of slaughter came to his face, and the whole city was filled with the smell of a great war that was about to break out. It seems that this Zhu Sheng must also be very anxious about the news that Wudu is besieged and Duan Liao is gathering the defeated army at Xiaoguan. When Tian Sui Tho and Jia Xu saw this scene, they also understood the purpose of Zhu Sheng's grand welcome ceremony just now, not only to welcome, but more importantly, to treat the 20,000 people as a savior to understand the predicament of Wudu.
It's just that what they didn't expect was that Zhu Sheng's intentions didn't stop there, his belief in the legends of the Canglan Continent and his trust in their Qin army were the most important factors for him to make this move.
Under this atmosphere of slaughter, the two followed Zhu Sheng to Di Dao's county capital. The county government was burned down by him, and it was no longer usable, so the county government could only be used to receive Tian Sui Tho, the general of the Qin army, and Jia Xu, the military advisor.
In order not to let the two of them think that he was snubbing them, Zhu Sheng told them about Dugu Xin. It's just that what he didn't expect was that the two of them were not very interested in the county government or the county government, but were very concerned about Dugu Xin's matter and the current specific situation.
