The Resurrected Empire Volume Chapter 242 Battle Readiness



To the familiar war scene, today's chapter 5000 is considered lazy to trim it, and I hope you will forgive me!

The silent night breeze gently blew the door of the firewood, when Cheng Xi woke up with his head covered, he only felt that his body was very cold, he jumped up from the ground, only to realize that he was naked, and then he saw that the blonde girl he brought home during the day was actually covered in **, her body was full of purple and blue, the lower half of her body was a little red, and her blue eyes were full of bitter hatred, and in an instant he almost thought that he had really done such a thing to her, but when he thought of the man who knocked him unconscious, He knew right away that he had fallen into a trap.

Cheng Xi was about to pick up the clothes on the ground, the blonde girl who had been crying suddenly pounced, grabbed his lower body, and suddenly a miserable howl pierced the thick night, waking up those subordinates in Cheng's mansion, and hearing the mournful screams of their own master coming from the firewood room, these subordinates didn't care about Li Yanzong's previous instructions with Cheng Xi's voice, they all put on their clothes and ran to the firewood room.

The closer they got to the firewood house, the more the people felt that something was wrong, they heard the sound of beating, so they couldn't help but walk faster, when they walked to the backyard, they saw a scene that made them unbelievable, Cheng Xi, who usually looked like a decent gentleman in their eyes, was naked, holding his clothes with one hand to cover the bottom, and was desperately beating the blonde girl who was pulling him on the ground.

Seeing the shocked expressions of the subordinates, Cheng Xi's mind was blank, the golden haired girl just now scratched his lower body, making him lose his coolness, and he completely fell into the calculation. "Not what you think?" Seeing the disdain on the faces of several subordinates, Cheng Xi shouted in a panic, but the more he defended. It just made those subordinates believe more in what they were seeing.

The cook who usually manages the room among several subordinates is an old lady in her fifties, she pushed away the stunned Cheng Xi, took off the coat she was wearing and wrapped it around the girl who was covered in injuries on the ground, she came here to cook for this Mr. Cheng after listening to her son, I thought that this Mr. Cheng was really a decent gentleman as his son admired. But he didn't think that he was a hypocrite who was not as good as a beast.

In the dark, there have been several pairs of eyes watching the development of things, seeing that those people are silent, only the old cook lady came forward, Li Yanzong nodded at Jing Han beside him, and soon this naturally dumb young man disappeared into the night, but after a while, someone outside the Cheng Mansion called the door. Some of those subordinates went to open the door, and Cheng Xi also took advantage of this time to put on his clothes, he was very confused now, and he couldn't calm down to think about things at all, but Cui Hao didn't allow him time to react.

Just for a moment. Just when Cheng Xi was still thinking about how to explain everything, several brocade guards poured into Cheng's mansion surrounded by a group of fast catchers. The brocade guards didn't say anything, just grabbed the ground beside them and said, "Search, give me a good search inside and out." ”

"You, what are you doing here?" I saw the catch that broke in with the open flame. Cheng Xi's face changed. Then he remembered that when he was caught by the man he didn't know, the young man next to him seemed to be hiding something in his study, and he thought of this. He also lost his way for a while, but he didn't know what to say, so he just stared there and no sound.

"Someone accused you of colluding and rebelling, this is a search warrant issued by the northern lieutenant." The people who were the leaders of the Jinyi guards smiled coldly, and asked the search to be carried out by the arrest next to him and stuffed the search warrant to Cheng Xi, although the Jinyi Wei did not have the power to directly search the door, but it was not too difficult to open a search warrant with the northern lieutenant in charge of Chang'an's public security, and it was not too difficult to call the arrest.

Looking at the investigation order, Cheng Xi panicked after taking it, thinking of the things that those people who framed him put in the study, he became uneasy, "Can I go back to the study for a while." After taking the investigation order, Cheng Xi forced himself to calm down and said to the brocade guards.

"You can't go anywhere until we're done searching." Looking at Cheng Xi, several men led by the brocade guards said coldly, and at this moment, the leader who came with him saw the girl who had been waiting quietly on the side.

"What's going on?" Unlike Jinyiwei, the catchers prefer to be nosy, and the leader of the catcher walked up to the old cook who was holding the girl, looked at the blonde girl with a scarred face and a pitiful look in her eyes, and asked. Seeing that the leader was catching quickly, Cheng Xi didn't care about anything, and hurriedly stepped forward and said, "She is the maid of my family, she broke something by mistake, so she was locked up in the firewood room, frightened, frightened!" ”

Seeing that Cheng Xi, who was busy explaining, had a face covered up, and his clothes were not neatly dressed, the head of the catcher stared at him a few times, and was about to step aside, he has seen a lot of things like this, and those big families often have this kind of thing, but it is not strange, after all, it is the handmaiden of the family, so it can be regarded as forced, as long as the party himself does not sue the official, it is not considered to have violated the royal law. It's just that seeing that the girl is only twelve or thirteen years old, the leader of the hunt looked at Cheng Xi, who looked like a gentleman, and couldn't help but feel a little more contempt

Seeing Cheng Xi lying, the old cook was annoyed, shouted at the head of the catcher, and told the matter as it was, Cheng Xi couldn't stop it if he wanted to, and after listening to the old cook, those catchers who stayed in the yard looked at Cheng Xi with disdain. "It looks like Mr. Cheng will have to go back with us later." Hearing that the girl was not the handmaiden of Cheng Xi's family, the leader of the hunt sneered.

"You'll talk about it later, let's get down to business first?" Seeing that those brocade guards had the intention of taking people, they frowned on the side and said. At this moment, the hunters who went to search came back, and the expressions on their faces were very strange.

The brocade guards looked at them and asked, "Did you find anything?" Those who went to catch fast all shook their heads, saying that they didn't find what the Jinyi Guards were looking for, in fact, how did they know that the things that the Jinyi Guards wanted them to find were completely illusory, but they just wanted to use this matter to let them find what Li Yanzong left in Cheng Xi's study.

"Looks like we've got the wrong message." A few brocade guards looked at the head of the catcher, "Let's let the catcher and the brothers run in vain, and we will invite you to Donghua Building another day, which can be regarded as making amends." After speaking, the leader of the brocade guards arched his hand to Cheng Xi, who was looking like ashes. Mr. Cheng, it's really presumptuous to disturb late at night. The words fell, and a few brocade guards left first.

"Mr. Cheng, this crime of abducting a girl for adultery. It's not a joke, so let's go back and make it clear, right? With a wave of his hand, he wanted his subordinates behind him to take chains to cuff Cheng Xi, but at this time, Cheng Xi took a few steps back and shouted, "I was wronged, you can't arrest people casually." ”

Seeing that Cheng Xi screamed loudly, the leader frowned. At this time, he saw that the subordinates who went to the study to search the ground were holding some things in their hands, and couldn't help asking, "What are you taking?" The catchers didn't answer, but one of them stepped forward and whispered a few words in his ear.

"You still have to be cunning, think of a sanctimonious hypocrite like you, we haven't seen it uncommonly. Someone will take him down for me. The leader sneered and let his subordinates catch Cheng Xi. It turned out that Cui Hao asked Li Yanzong to put more than a dozen pieces of girl's dirty clothes in Cheng Xi's study, and these dirty clothes were stained with some human blood, pretending to be a woman's red, Cui Hao also ordered a few people who were good at imitating handwriting to imitate Cheng Xi's handwriting and wrote some quite literary boastful words on it, which fell in the eyes of others and became ironclad evidence of Cheng Xi's obscenity.

Look at the bloody clothes in the box. Cheng Xi was dumbfounded. Then he cried out loudly and struggled even harder, but the catchers didn't eat him. He sneered, sealed his mouth, and escorted him back to the cell of the northern lieutenant, and those subordinates in his house became the witnesses of course, it can be said that Cui Haodi's calculations are linked to each other, and the calculations are not bad at all.

After Cheng Xi was arrested, this matter quickly spread, but it made Zhu Qianyi and Fang Chengchou anxious, the reason why the Imperial Dao Sect has today's status is because of the prestige of the three of them, and now Cheng Xi has such a thing, plus this time the land bitter lord is the one who has always been rejected by them. Han foreigners', this time the matter became delicate, many people began to suspect that the imperial road was sent, after all, for the many ordinary people in Chang'an, those golden-haired Han people are not much different from them, and most of them have a harder life than them, they have not infringed on their interests at all, so this time they are generally on the opposite side of the imperial road.

After the wind of the people of Chang'an tilted to the side that Cui Hao and Li Mowen expected, Cui Hao and Li Mowen sacrificed the second knife, and the newspapers of Chang'an, large and small, began to criticize Cheng Xi and others and the imperial sect, and after that, they successfully framed Zhu Qianyi and Fang Chengchou, and the two were presented by the officials of the northern lieutenant, saying that they wanted to buy officials and witnesses, trying to distort the justice of the laws of Great Qin. Under the repeated calculations of Cui Hao and Li Mowen, Cheng Xi and the others didn't even have room to fight back, so they were forced into a desperate situation with the Imperial Dao faction.

By the time Li Ang completed the report on the plateau operations submitted to the military hall, all the 'three sages' of the Imperial Dao Sect had been thrown into prison, and the Imperial Dao Sect was also affected by the three of them, and their prestige plummeted for a while, and some people who were instigated to join the Imperial Dao Sect left one after another. All of a sudden, the momentum of the Imperial Dao faction plummeted, and the military hall took advantage of this opportunity to start purging the army, and the imperial Dao faction was beaten into the villain.

"Scandal is a good tactic." After listening to Cui Hao's final report, Li Ang sighed with emotion, although Cui Hao's methods cannot be put on the table, and can even be called despicable, it is undeniable that this method is the best way to deal with those who usually have a noble reputation, because these people, as long as their reputation is discredited, people will naturally doubt what they usually do, as long as they are guided, they will become street rats in the eyes of the people, and they will be spurned by people.

"My plan has been approved by the military hall, after I go on the expedition, you and Yan Zong will stay in Chang'an, train the people in our hands well, and wait until next year, let them go to Haixi to establish an intelligence network, and the cost required will be from this Keju

If you get it, you will be given 10 million gold baht for the time being. Li Ang thought that Gao would last for a while, so he simply explained the rest to Cui Hao first.

Beginning in late March, the military dispatch order issued through the 800-mile expedited dispatch was sent directly to the Jinling Metropolitan Protectorate and the Beiting Metropolitan Protectorate, and the troops selected by Li Ang were extremely demanding, not only the strongest, but also the best in endurance. After all, the better the quality of the soldiers when they go to the plateau, the shorter the time they have to adapt to the plateau climate, and the more beneficial it will be for Leon's plan.

After receiving the appointment. The Jinling Metropolitan Protectorate immediately began to select troops that met Li Ang's requirements, and several elite troops were called elite in the Jinling Metropolitan Protectorate, and fierce competition was launched for the quota of the expedition, and finally 20,000 people were mixed by six infantry divisions, and only one hoplite division was formed, and they directly drove into Yizhou along the Yangtze River by boat. And the army of the Beiting Protectorate was not so fiercely competitive. Because Li Ang asked for 10,000 heavily armed tiger and leopard cavalry, and asked them to bring the heaviest set of lancer equipment to the battle. In the end, of the remaining 20,000 people, Li Ang selected the 20,000 black cavalry troops of the Chang'an Metropolitan Protectorate.

In order to achieve the suddenness of the battle, Daqin did not tell the world, all the transfer of troops was carried out in secret, according to Li Ang's request, the tiger and leopard cavalry and the infantry of the Jinling Protectorate went to Yizhou first. The 20,000 black cavalry troops of the Chang'an Protectorate were drawn in batches, and Li Ang didn't want to be judged by the local Guishan people in Chang'an City, which caused the Tubo people on the plateau to be prepared.

Although the troop movement was secretive, the news of the war still spread in Chang'an City, but the object of the war became the Persians in the river, which confused the spies of the countries to a certain extent. Basically, no one thought that the elite black cavalry army in the Chang'an Protectorate would go to the plateau to deal with the country called Tubo, after all, in the eyes of the people of Great Qin. The plateau is just a wild and outland.

In addition to the transfer of troops, the Yiju side began to prepare for war in March at the government-run foundries in various places, such as arrows, and at the same time transferred the grain and grass stockpiles to the area bordering the plateau. The generals and staff officers were also sent to Yizhou by Li Ang in advance to coordinate the relationship between the various armies. After all, the people who entered the plateau this time were all elite troops from the major capitals of Great Qin. If you don't cooperate well, it's also quite a headache.

The afterglow of the setting sun stained the earth blood-red, a wild place on the edge of the plateau. Sparsely populated and almost non-existent, it can be said to be home to wild beasts. Chen Qingzhi looked at the sunset in the distance, his originally fair face had now become dark, and the original scholarly elegance on his body had dissipated without a trace, and he looked like a fierce soldier, and it was impossible for people to associate him with a general who was chatting and laughing and commanding.

It's been more than half a year, and since Li Ang sent an order from the military hall to let him and Ran Min assist Helian Bobo and them in training, he has been staying in this barbaric land, and Ran Min and 6,000 soldiers watched Helian Bobo train the 15,000 young men recruited from the entire desert to the current 10,000, and the other 5,000 people have become part of the land under his feet. Smelling the smell coming from his body, Chen Qingzhi sighed, and at this moment, there was a rapid hoof sound behind him.

Chen Qingzhi turned around and saw the soldier who came to give the order, it was a desert man, with curly brown hair and blue eyes with a bit of natural ferocity. "General Chen, my family is invited, someone from Chang'an has arrived." The soldier who gave the order spoke in authentic Chinese.

"Someone from Chang'an is here." Chen Qingzhi's expression was awe-inspiring, he had finally waited for this day, straddled his horse and saddled, he galloped towards the large camp in the distance, followed by a group of herald cavalry. In another place, Ran Min also rushed back to the camp.

In the Chinese military tent, Chen Qingzhi and Ran Min arrived at the same time, and then they saw Li Cunzhi, compared with the past, this young man has now become more calm, and he has become a character who can stand alone. "I've seen Lord Chen, Lord Ran." Seeing Chen Qingzhi and Ran Min, Li Cunzhi saluted respectfully, when he swept through the desert in the past, they were the people he respected.

"General Li, he's going to do it?" Ran Min is the most impatient, he is a war-loving person, he has been in the wild place on the edge of the plateau for more than half a year, and he is almost suffocated, at this time, seeing Li Cunzhi coming, he couldn't help it anymore, and couldn't help asking.

"Things have changed." Li Cunzhi, Ran Min, and Chen Qingzhi told the military hall the information they had obtained from Tubo, "My father-in-law originally wanted to sweep the plateau with the two generals, but he didn't expect that Tubo's strength was above estimate, so he had to change his plan." ”

"50,000 elites, it looks like this time it's going to be a real tough battle." After listening to the plan brought by Li Cunzhi, Chen Qingzhi couldn't help frowning, but soon he laughed and said to Li Cunzhi, "Go back and tell General Li that we will be the fastest knife in his hand." ”

"In that case, then I'll take my leave." Seeing that Chen Qingzhi and the others did not raise any objections to the plan they conveyed, Li Cunzhi did not stay long, and left the barracks directly and returned to Yizhou.
