Chapter XXXIX
"Zazaza~"
On the streets of Qilin City in the early morning, a carriage was driving slowly on the road, and Hu Lingfei, who was dressed in a strong suit on the carriage, lifted the curtain and was looking at the streets on both sides of the window in a daze. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
At this time, just when I arrived, the streets in Qilin City were already lively, with a shuttle of people, and the scene of busy traffic spread all over the major streets in Qilin City, and there was no difference compared with before.
Last night's riot did not have much impact on Qilin City, except for some panic caused by the outpouring of those rebels at the beginning, the rebels who were quickly annihilated in General Yangwu's Mansion did not make a little wave in the city, only a few ordinary people living in the area not far from General Yangwu's Mansion faintly heard the fierce shouts of killing, and most of the people in the city did not know that there had been a rebellion in the city.
The only thing that surprised the people in the city was that a large number of shops in the city of Chen, Zheng, and Wei, among the four wealthy merchants of the original Qilin, were seized and taken over by people from General Yangwu's mansion.
A long-planned rebellion has just dissipated and become invisible, obviously the whole thing has long been under the control of the Yangwu army, and the crisis contained in this calm makes Hu Lingfei's heart shocked every time he thinks of it, and the slightest carelessness is enough to turn the entire Hu family into powder.
"Father! Let's donate all the family property to the General's Mansion? ”
In the carriage, Hu Wei, who was dressed in an ordinary cloth robe, looked at his father who was secretly contemplating, opened his mouth, wanted to speak and stopped, and finally couldn't help but speak after hesitating for a long time.
Last night, when the battle of General Yangwu's Mansion was over, Hu Lingfei quickly went to General Yangwu's Mansion and dedicated almost all the Hu family's property to General Yangwu's Mansion, and decided to move the whole family out of Qilin City and settle in Daxikou Town.
This decision caused an uproar in the Hu family, and only Hu Lingfei's son and a few other henchmen who participated understood in their hearts that this was the money for their Hu family.
However, they still have a lot of complaints about Hu Lingfei's move to donate all his family property, which is tens of thousands of taels of gold, and it is gone.
"If the money is gone, we can make it again, if the people are gone, there will really be nothing!"
Hu Lingfei glanced at his son and said seriously, he hadn't realized the seriousness of the matter yet.
Since ancient times, those who have been the superior have hated the most those who have committed rebellion, and once they are investigated and punished, there is no reason not to punish them severely.
Although the Hu family did not participate in the final rebellion, but none of the things before this were left behind, these things could not be settled in the general's mansion, once the matter subsided, after the return of the Yangwu general Sima Yu, they would inevitably be dealt with, and the Hu family might suffer a catastrophe.
Now in Hu Lingfei's heart, whether the Hu family's family property can settle this matter is still unknown in his heart.
In the face of absolute strength, the Hu family has no room for resistance at all.
"Bell, bell!"
"Get out of the way! Get out of the way! The army marches forward, get out of the way! ”
"Get out of the way!"
At this moment, there was a sound of gongs and shouts from the back of the carriage, and a soldier of the Yangwu Army was carrying a gong in his hand and knocking it to this side, followed by two groups of soldiers, who began to keep separating the pedestrians who were still blocking the road, and Hu Lingfei and their carriage were also driven to the side of the road.
"Driving~"
"Pedal Pedal ~"
Not long after the messengers in front walked away, there was a sound of horses' hooves and dense footsteps behind them, and Hu Lingfei and his son, who heard the sound, couldn't help but look behind from the car window.
"Pedal Pedal ~"
A group of soldiers of the Yangwu Army in black armor were passing through the street quickly, and under the leadership of Honda Tadakatsu, who was wearing a big red armor cloak, they were heading towards the city gate, and the Fang Tian painting halberd in their hands was obliquely raised, and a fierce aura came to the surface, with the dense black armor soldiers behind, it exuded a fierce killing intention, forcing the surrounding people to dare not say a word.
After this period of training, this loyal battalion composed of elites selected from the Japanese has initially possessed a strong military temperament.
"This is the Yangwu Army! It's just wishful thinking that we would replace the Yangwu Army with a rabble that we have put together temporarily! ”
Looking at the majestic Zhongwu Battalion, the corners of Hu Lingfei's mouth flashed with a wry smile, in the face of absolute strength, their premeditation was just a joke, how could he not find this when he was occupied by desire.
The compelling momentum exuded by thousands of soldiers made the arrogant Hu Wei silent, and after last night, Hu Wei, who was impetuous before, seemed to have calmed down a lot.
"Fourth brother! This is what you admire? Except that the equipment is better than ours, there is nothing special about it! ”
On the other side of the road, the man with the scar stood on the side of the street like the little servant in Tsing Yi and the others, watching the loyal army pass through the street, and the little servant in Tsing Yi pouted with a trace of indignation on his face. Not far behind them, more than a dozen brocade guards in armor traveled together to see them off and protect them.
Seeing these accompanying Jinyi guards, the people of Qilin City around them couldn't help but avoid it, at this time they didn't know that the scarred man in front of them was the former prince of Daxi, Zhang Xianzhong's righteous son Liu Wenxiu, and now he and Li Dingguo are entrenched in Yongzhou He Jiao County and Ji'an County, with 40,000 soldiers. The little servant in Tsing Yi who followed Liu Wenxiu was Li Dingguo's sister Li Manxin.
Such two important figures of the adjacent forces, Guo Yuan and the others naturally had to be treated well, if there was an accident in the territory of the Yangwu Army, it was very likely to cause a big war between the two forces.
Li Manxin's pursed mouth can show that she is not in a happy mood at this time, originally secretly came out this time and thought that she could see the big scene with the fourth brother, but who knew that it was just a drizzle, the rebels were just emerging and were wiped out invisibly, and they played an extremely disgraceful role of traitors and informers, which made her heart happy.
This is too different from the scene she expected before, and now she hasn't even seen the figure of Sima Yu, the founder of the Yangwu Army, who is admired by her eldest brother and fourth brother, and is about to return, which is really unwilling.
"Don't underestimate them, according to our informants, this army in front of you is just a new army that has only been established in the Yangwu Army, and it is incredible that it has become a strong force comparable to my elite in such a short period of time!"
Looking at Honda Tadashi who was walking alone at the forefront and the army of the Zhongwu Battalion behind him, the look on Liu Wenxiu's face was not as relaxed as Li Manxin's, and Liu Wenxiu seemed to see an iron army gradually taking shape in them.
How did Sima Yu quickly form a combat force with an army that had only been established for more than a month?
In the growth process of Sima Yu and Yangwujun, it has long been the norm to win more with less, and the reputation of Yangwujun for good fighting has long spread throughout Yongzhou.
This point has always been incomprehensible after carefully studying Sima Yu's rise to the top, and it is also the most fearful.
Strong economic strength, supplemented by a powerful Yangwu army, in the face of such an opponent, even with the good fighting of Li Dingguo and Liu Wenxiu, I feel helpless in my heart.
Therefore, after arriving in Qilin City this time, through the situation reported by the informants lurking in Qilin City, Liu Wenxiu concluded that Wang Zhiyuan and others could not succeed, so he quickly changed his position, turned to support Yangwu Army, and sold the plan of Wang Zhiyuan and others to Guoyuan and others.
Although Guoyuan and others had already known the news, they also responded to Liu Wenxiu's overtures in a timely manner, and the two had secretly formed an alliance.
For this strong neighbor who resisted Sun Kewang, Yangwujun was unwilling to be his enemy for the time being. Moreover, as a famous general in later generations, Sima Yu also has a very good impression of Li Dingguo in his heart, which has long been understood in the daily deliberations of China Yuan and others.
And after the alliance was reached, Guoyuan decided to sell 10,000 sets of ordnance and armor to Liu Wenxiu at a lower price to expand the strength of Li Dingguo's army.
All of this equipment was opened by Sima Yu from the box of ancient weapons, although it was not as good as the ordnance equipped by the battalions of the Yangwu Army, but it was all high-quality equipment, which was enough to form an equipment advantage over Sun Kewang's forces.
"Okay, although the plan has changed halfway through this trip, the harvest has exceeded our expectations, and it's time to rush back!"
Looking at the black armor and the loyal military camp full of spears, Liu Wenxiu's eyes flashed with a hint of excitement, and with a slap of the reins, the strength of the Yangwu Army aroused Liu Wenxiu's heart to forge ahead, and the group followed the footprints of the mighty army to the outside of the city.
The rebel camp outside the town of Sanxing is a mess, with dilapidated tents and severed limbs left over from the aftermath of the war, as teams of listless rebel soldiers clean up the battlefield. In another clearing not far from the camp, a new camp was set up, but it was less than a third of the original size.
The 40,000 rebels quickly shrank to less than 20,000 overnight, and under the sneak attack led by Zhao Chuan and Feng Hui, the defenseless Zhao Ting was killed on the spot, and the tens of thousands of rebels under his command suddenly dispersed.
In particular, the tens of thousands of barbarian young men who were lured into the army by Zhao Ting from Baiyi Village even escaped overnight, and Zhao Chuan and Feng Hui spent a lot of effort to entangle some of the defeated soldiers, and the manpower under his command barely gathered 18,000 people, and they were resting.
"Boom!"
Just as these rebel soldiers were listlessly sweeping the battlefield, a loud sound of horses' hooves came from the northwest slope, and a black line could be faintly seen slowly appearing on the slope, slowly evolving from a line to a black torrent rolling in on the slope.
Hao Ran is a cavalry in black armor, in the cavalry of the central army, a huge military flag waving in the wind, the military flag engraved with the huge word "Sima".
"Enemy attack!"
The mournful shouts resounded throughout the battlefield.
