Chapter 347: Family Reunion

This is only the third day, and more than 50,000 people have been lost?

The four princes who came back to their senses were shocked!

Looking at the grass in front of them, the mountains of corpses lying on the periphery of the square Qi army, their eyes were still filled with disbelief.

"Prince Huchig?" The flail's voice was dry.

Hu Chige's expression was gloomy, and he suddenly said: "Send a few people back to report on the battle situation here and the new weapons of the Great Qi army, and then pick out five hundred people to be ready to leave at any time, and the remaining sergeants will continue to attack!" ”

"What does the prince mean?" Muzar was stunned.

"What we are facing now is not just a victory in a war, it is about the future of all the nomadic tribes of the steppe!"

The other three princes nodded.

The reason why their nomadic tribes can live and gallop on the prairie, pass it on from generation to generation, and go to the border of Daqi to plunder when they have no food to eat, is to rely on horses to be fast and strong, and now Daqi has developed a new weapon, which is actually longer than their bow and arrow, which is definitely a disaster for them!

Now that the territory of Great Qi is in chaos, it is nothing, but when the Qi people recover, if they send a large army deep into the grassland, then the grassland alien race will definitely face a catastrophe! They can't fight but escape, but where can they go without the prairie?

"Send the remaining sergeants to continue the test to see if there are any weaknesses in the Qi people's army!"

"Yes!"

Each of the four princes went to pick out five hundred strong men, and if the situation was not right, these five hundred men fled immediately, and reported the situation on this side when they returned to the tribe.

The aliens continued to attack, but were noticeably thinnered.

"Young master, it's time for the final counterattack." Why don't you come to Jiang Long's side and speak.

Jiang Long nodded slightly, "It's okay." Then he said, "There are a few big people over there, and it's best to leave one or two to hurt them, otherwise we think we're as easy to bully as before." ”

"No problem!"

Why don't you go down and make arrangements now.

Towards noon, the aliens stopped attacking and began to bury the pot for cooking.

When the smoke rose from the cooking smoke here, and the meal was about to be ready, three thousand cavalry suddenly rushed out of the Great Qi army.

The sergeant at the front, with muskets in hand, went straight to the tent where the four princes were.

"Run!"

"Qi people are rushing over!"

"Protect the Prince!"

Bang bang bang! While the aliens were fleeing in confusion, the cavalry had already rushed closer, and the cavalry in front of them were on horseback and fired. The hit rate was not high, but there were still aliens who were shot and fell. The four princes rushed out of the tent and turned on their horses.

At this time, several Daqi cavalry jumped off their horses, squatted on the ground and aimed at them.

After a series of gunshots, a prince fell, and it was none other than the Western Flails.

"Prince!" A group of retinues ran over, picked up the wounded flails, put them on horseback, and fled back with one of them.

Hu Chige felt a sharp pain in his back and almost fell off his horse.

Leaning over the horse's back with one hand on the reins, barely running. Dozens of guards rushed up and held him tightly in the middle.

The Great Qi infantry also rushed up, but the other side was basically cavalry, and they couldn't catch up at all, so in order not to waste the food made by the Qi people, they enjoyed it unceremoniously.

When the results of this side were reported to the old emperor, the old emperor and the crown prince could hardly believe their eyes.

You only injured dozens of people, and then annihilated more than 50,000 people of the alien race?

They thought that Jiang Long's excerpt was purely a joke, but a few days later, the secret report came up, and they finally believed it. And knowing that Jiang Long actually had musketeers under him, the old emperor had been secretly sending people to study muskets.

However, judging from the data from the survey, the musket in Jiang Long's hand is obviously more advanced.

The old emperor frowned, Jiang Long actually used the musket in a grand manner, wouldn't he be about to rebel next?

When Jianglong drove away more than 70,000 foreign coalition troops, the people of northern Xinjiang were also discussing in private, talking about the attack of foreign races, but the imperial court did not send troops to resist at all, which did not care whether they lived or died. When Jiang Long's side won a big victory, he immediately erected a very high prestige.

Rumors spread in northern Xinjiang, which was very unfavorable to the imperial court, although many officials appeased, but it did not have much effect. Immediately afterwards, the news broke that the emperor and the crown prince were going to kill the Jing family, and Mrs. Jing and Mrs. Jing secretly ran out of the capital to escape death.

Soon after the mysterious horse bandits in Pingluo Mountain, they pulled the flag and rebelled!

and threatened that they were under the command of Jing Xiaohou back then, and they would support the Jing family to seize the country.

Needless to say, Jingxian's prestige in the north immediately poured into Pingluo Mountain, large and small, to join it. And Jiang Long, who returned to Lingtong County, also made a move, gathered all the county officials, and told them that I wanted to rebel.

Obedient people do a career together, if you don't want to, give some silver taels and leave with your family.

No one doesn't want to.

Don't say that Jiang Long may just say it nicely, it may be deceitful, that is, it is really to let them leave, but now that the war is in chaos, what is the chance of surviving if they go out with their families? Relying on the prestige of the Jing family in northern Xinjiang, in a short period of time, more than 100,000 people poured into Lingtong County.

The large population is welcome, but it also brings problems, the most urgent of which is the shortage of food.

And these people join the Jing family's team, so the court will no longer allocate food, which will also reduce some of the burden for the old emperor and the crown prince. King Pingjiang was obviously a little surprised by the Jing family's rebellion, and immediately sent an envoy to appease him, wanting to pull him into his command.

Naturally, the messenger returned in vain.

"You can't let the Jing family become bigger!" The old emperor immediately dispatched troops and horses to the north to encircle and suppress. and put all his energy on this matter, and gave all the internal affairs to the prince, and he didn't care about it.

A few days later, King Pingjiang received a handwritten letter from the old emperor. In the letter, it is clear that the Jing family has been lurking in the dark and wants to rebel, and the power is very great, and the words are sincere, indicating that the Jing family is seriously harmed, and saying that the king of Pingjiang is also surnamed Zhao, and at this time they should deal with the Jing family's traitors together.

So the king of Pingjiang gathered his sons together to discuss it seriously.

Zhao Yi was also very surprised by the rebellion of the Jing family, at this time, after reading the emperor's handwriting, he realized that the Jing family was not as simple as it appeared on the surface, and then thought of Jiang Long's ability, he couldn't help frowning, "If what the letter says is true, the Jing family is indeed a great enemy!" ”

"Is it more terrible than the one in the capital?" Zhao Biao, the eldest son of King Pingjiang, snorted coldly.

Zhao Xing, the second son, nodded in agreement, "The one in the capital is our biggest enemy, so it's best for us to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, and when they both lose, let's make another move, and decide everything in one fell swoop." ”

King Pingjiang doesn't like the eldest son, and he is also very plain about the second son, but at this time, the opinions of the two are more in line with his intentions.

Zhao Yi retorted, "Haven't you heard that the Jing family has a new weapon in their hands? With more than 70,000 coalition troops of 10,000 pairs of alien races, they actually killed more than 50,000 opponents with only dozens of casualties! Such a record, not to say that it has not been seen since ancient times, but it is definitely very, very rare. ”

Zhao Biao flicked his sleeves, "Maybe it's just an exaggeration." ”

"Such a record is indeed doubtful." Zhao Xuan also said.

"We are the same as the one in the capital, we are all royalty, and we all have royal blood flowing in our bodies......" Zhao Yi had to refute again.

But when King Pingjiang heard this, he suddenly snorted coldly and interjected: "What if they are all descendants of the Zhao family? If it falls into the hands of the one in the capital, we will all be beheaded by the whole house, and none of us will survive! How much did this king help him when he didn't sit on the throne back then?

As a result, it didn't take long for him to start guarding against this king!

The reason why this king will rebel is just to protect himself! ”

"That's exactly what my father said." Zhao Biao agreed.

Zhao Yi obviously had something to say, but King Pingjiang didn't give him a chance and directly asked his three sons to step down. He also had several concubines, but King Pingjiang attached great importance to bloodline and did not value those sons. This kind of important discussion will never come to the concubine.

Leaving the hall, Zhao Yi shook his head again and again.

Seeing this, Zhao Biao laughed a few words and strode away. Zhao Xuan followed closely.

Although Zhao Yi is very favored by King Pingjiang, Zhao Biao is the eldest son.

Back at her residence, Zhao Yi thought about the several meetings and contacts with Jiang Long, and the uneasiness in her heart became stronger and stronger.

The speed of the Great Qi army was extremely fast, with 200,000 military horses, divided into five routes, and went straight to the northern frontier.

Along the way, everything that dares to stand in the way will be swept away.

On this day, Lingtong County welcomed several guests.

"You're still alive!" Old Madam Jing looked at the person who came, her expression was complicated, and then she turned her head to the side.

Jing Chengxiong's gray hair was originally excited, and he was finally able to see his old wife again and reunite with him, but his wife's reaction was like a basin of cold water poured down, not only was he not good-tempered but a muddy person, glaring and shouting: "You want me to die, and then go to find that little white face?" ”

"Which little white face?" Old Madam Jing's eyes widened as well.

The two old men, who were both over half a hundred, pinched like half-chickens when they first met.

"Mother!" At this time, a handsome man with a sturdy figure took a few steps forward, and as soon as his knees were weak, he knelt at the feet of Mrs. Jing, "The child is not filial, it makes you sad!" ”

"Xian'er!" Mrs. Jing hugged her only son and cried bitterly.

The woman who was originally standing next to the man was staring at Jiang Long's face with a pair of red eyes with tears at this time.

Jiang Long is not a fool, he has already understood that this must be the original mother.

"Mother!" He also fell to his knees.

Mrs. Jing hugged him and cried bitterly.

Mrs. Jiang Long calmed down a little, called Lin Ya, and introduced the two.

Mrs. Jing had long known that her daughter-in-law was pregnant with a child, and she was not surprised, so she hurriedly stretched out her hand to stop Lin Ya from giving her a big salute, and helped Lin Ya to sit on the chair.

At this time, Delis stepped forward to salute, and the woman was also gentle, and drank Delis's tea.

After everyone has calmed down, they will greet each other.

The rest of the people are fine, only Jing Chengxiong and Mrs. Jing don't speak, and they always choke when they open their mouths.

That night, Mrs. Jing wanted to sleep alone, but Jing Chengxiong had to squeeze into one room, so the noisy voices of the two came from far away in the night sky.

"Don't let Lao Tzu touch it, Lao Tzu wants to touch it!"

"Get out!"

"No, you can't be cheap with that little white face!"

"Which little white face!"

"You know it in your heart."

"If you want to wronged me, you just took advantage of my inability to control it and raised a group of foxes, right?"

"Lao Tzu can raise it if he wants, you can't control it!"

"When it falls into the hands of the old lady, there will be no one left!"

"You dare?"

Originally, everyone thought that the old couple would still blow their beards and stare at each other the next day, and they would have to fight if they didn't get it right, but they didn't want to get together instead, and they were full of energy.
