Chapter 174: Soldiers Gather in Huaili City
[Seeing the problem of "Wordless Book of Heaven" in the book review area, repeat it again, Yuan Hao's "Wordless Book of Heaven" and Zhang Jiao's "Taiping Technique" are the same, and the detailed explanation is in the essence of the book review, everyone can read it for yourself]
On the road from Jieliang County to Huaili County, a black-clothed army of about 5,000 people was moving forward rapidly.
Black clothes are the color of the uniforms of the soldiers of the Black Water Hall of the Bright Army, not to mention that at this time, Jieliang County has basically been occupied by the Bright Army, this black-clothed army is obviously the Bright Army, but the strangest thing is that the commander of this black-clothed army, if you look closely, it is actually a white-clothed girl with a veil covering her face.
"When will it take to arrive in Huaili City?" An ethereal voice came from Yuan Xin's mouth.
"Returning to the Holy Maiden, our army is still more than thirty miles away from Huaili City, and we can reach Huaili City before dark." Yuan Xin replied respectfully in front of Yuan Xin from the ninth order of the Bright Sect.
"Hmm." Yuan Xin nodded lightly, indicating understanding.
Since leaving Yunhua County last time, Yuan Xin has been staying in Zezhou and has not returned to Tongzhou Helm.
In the Sect of Light, there are three people whose status is above the two Dharma protectors, the twelve elders, the five hall masters, and the ten helmsmen, namely the sect leader Yuan Hao, the holy son Yuan Chang, and the holy daughter Yuan Xin.
When the Guangming Sect started, Yuan Hao, Yuan Chang, and Yuan Xin sat in Tongzhou, Qinzhou, and Zezhou respectively to improve morale.
It stands to reason that with Yuan Xin's position, he should be in charge of all the forces of the Bright Sect Black Water Hall Zezhou Helm, but Yuan Xin did not do that, on the one hand, it was Yuan Xin's ability, and on the other hand, Yuan Xin was young, although he was a saint and assisted by two elders, he could not completely convince the public, so Yuan Xin gave up controlling the power of the Bright Sect in Zezhou, and watched the helmsman Zhu Wen command the battle from the sidelines.
As the most remote and backward state with the smallest population in the Dali Empire, there are fewer families who have settled in Zezhou than the other ten states, but there are still quite a few, such as the Dingxiang Shangguan clan and the Yunhua Yun clan, both of which have a county as a fief, and the Guangming Sect has more or less some spies in these two counties.
There are more spies mainly in Dingxiang County, and they also absorb many believers.
And Yunhua County is a little difficult, the Yun clan has always paid attention to the Guangming Sect, once the people of the Guangming Sect are discovered, they are directly expelled before the Guangming Sect uprising, and after the Guangming Sect uprising, they are directly arrested, and if there is resistance, they will be killed on the spot, so the Guangming Sect has no development in Yunhua County, and only a small number of spies are lurking in the territory of Yunhua County, transmitting various superficial information for the Guangming Sect, and it is difficult to obtain deep information.
What's even more interesting is that there are spies from the Bright Sect who were mixed in with the refugees and finally sent to Yingzhou, and the Yun clan has a territory comparable to Zezhou, which is definitely a major news, but this spy can't spread the news, because he can't leave Yingzhou and return to the land of Shenzhou, and there is no carrier pigeon to quickly transmit information.
According to the report of the spies, the Yun clan's troops in Yunhua County have exceeded 10,000, and the Yun clan is still expanding its army, and the large number of victims pouring into Yunhua County has made it easier for the Yun clan to expand its army, as long as the food is taken out, there are a large number of disaster victims rushing to join the army.
Wan Qingliang really wanted to shoot Xiang Pengyue next to Zhu Wen to death, and the attention of "guiding the disaster victims to pour into Yunhua County in large numbers to make Yunhua County chaotic and reduce the strength of the Yun Clan" was put forward by Zhu Wen's military advisor Xiang Pengyue, and now those disaster victims who poured into Yunhua County not only did not make Yunhua County chaotic, but made it easier for the Yun Clan to expand its army.
Xiang Pengyue, the current military advisor of Zhu Wen, the helmsman of the Zezhou branch of the Bright Sect Heishui Hall, a few years ago, Xiang Pengyue was the staff of Fang Wei, the eighth emperor of the Dali Empire, when Xiang Pengyue took the initiative to ask Fang Wei for his life, and personally went to Yunhua County to let the Yun clan take refuge in Fang Wei, but was directly rejected by Yun Yuankai, Xiang Pengyue had no face to go back, so he stayed in Zezhou, but accidentally joined the Guangming Sect, and now he has become Zhu Wen's military advisor, because the Yun family refused, Xiang Pengyue has always been full of hatred for the Yun family, so he tried every means to destroy the Yun family.
If Yun Yi knew about this, Yun Yi must "thank Xiang Pengyue", it was Xiang Pengyue who helped Yun solve a big problem, so that Yun had enough manpower to develop Yingzhou, and there were enough young and strong people to expand the army.
The power in the hands of the Yun clan increased, and Wan Qingliang had to send more troops to garrison Huaili County to prevent the Yun clan from sending troops.
First, there was a ninth-order deacon who led 3,000 people to garrison Huaili County, and then recruited soldiers from Huaili County, and it was estimated that about 2,000 people could be obtained, but Wan Qingliang felt that 2,000 people were not enough, and he transferred troops from other places in Jieliang County, and finally gathered an army of 5,000 people, and then the strength of the Guangming Army in Huaili County could exceed 10,000, with this force, it was enough to hold Huaili County, and even had the strength to launch an offensive against Yunhua County.
After Yuan Xin knew about Huaili County, she thought of Yunhua County, which seemed to be a beautiful world, so she took the initiative to propose to Zhu Wen that she wanted to go to Huaili County.
Originally, Zhu Wen didn't want the saint to go, the saint was noble, and she couldn't be in danger, if the saint was in danger, he Zhu Wen would not escape death even if he was a congenital martial artist, but Zhu Wen thought about it, Xie Liang County almost all fell into their hands, and the saint was guarded by two innate warriors, the five elders and the eleventh eleventh elder, and there was an army of more than 10,000 people in Huaili County, and the danger was very small.
After thinking about it for a while, Zhu Wen agreed to the saint's request and put everything in Huaili County into the hands of the saint.
Now the 5,000 Guangming Army commanded by Yuan Xin is about to arrive in Huaili County.
Yunhua County Town, Yunfu
Yun Yi also learned that the Bright Sect had increased its troops in Huaili County, and the Holy Maiden of the Bright Sect was in charge herself.
Yun Yi didn't know much about the news of the Holy Maiden of the Bright Sect, and the Holy Maiden didn't even know her real name (there were very few people in the Bright Sect who knew the names of the sect leader, Holy Son, and Holy Maiden), but he knew that the Holy Maiden had a high status in the Bright Sect, and she didn't even know her appearance, but now Yun Yi had a picture of the Holy Maiden with a veil in front of her, this picture evoked Yun Yi's memory, and she suddenly thought that this Holy Maiden of the Bright Sect had come to Yunhua County, and Yun Yi had also glanced at her, even if she didn't see the appearance of the Holy Maiden, Yun Yi was also amazed by the temperament of the saint, as if she was an independent fairy.
The Bright Sect is a big family and is a mortal enemy, and the Holy Maiden of the Bright Sect actually dared to come to the territory of the Yun Clan, and after staying for so long, Yun Yi had to admire the courage of the Holy Maiden.
In addition, Yun Yi didn't care too much, even the 10,000 Guangming Army in Huaili County didn't care, and now the Yun Clan's strength in Chenyang City also exceeded 10,000, including 3,000 elite troops such as the 3,000 Shenji Battalion and the 3,000 Tiger Army, these two armies alone were enough to confront 20,000 enemy troops, and the army armed with firearms was not something that the cold weapon army could resist.
