As mentioned in the last chapter, because Xiahou, the king of Xiangwu who came to invade the land of Shanyoujiang North Province under the control of the Illuminati and the Guangming Army, was defeated and killed by himself, his five sons fought for the throne, and as a result, Xiahou Tai, the king of Tai'an, who had coveted the land of one province and three states under the rule of King Xiangwu, directly sent troops to occupy the area controlled by King Xiangwu in one fell swoop, and killed the five sons of King Xiangwu and all the relatives and friends related to King Xiangwu. The people, who had been brutally oppressed by the government, local tycoons and wealthy merchants, not only went through a brutal war, but also had to accept more onerous taxes and miscellaneous taxes, and as a result, the people in the six counties of Long'an County, Xingchang County, Yiguang County, Baoqing County, Fufu County, and Fuxing County in the east of Xiangwu Prefecture began to revolt one after another.

Naturally, Xiahou Tai, the king of Tai'an, would never sit idly by, and at the request of the officials, powerful and wealthy merchants who were afraid of the rebel army, he ordered his general Li Yaosheng to lead an army of 100,000 to destroy the rebel army in these six counties.

And Li Yaosheng is just a person who relies on his sister to take the position, he does not have any talent for leading troops, although there have been occasional small victories before, but in fact it is just a fluke. And the army under his command burned, killed, looted, and did all kinds of evil.

When Li Yaosheng's county seat of Lanxi County was feinted by an army led by Su Yunwen sent by Chao Junyi, the general of the rebel army, Li Yaosheng led his entire army to pursue this army immediately. In particular, when Li Yaosheng discovered that the direction of this army was actually Jintai Mountain, he was even more overjoyed. After all, Jintai Mountain contains countless gold mines! At the same time, Jintai County, where Jintai Mountain is located today, has been captured by those traitors, and it is natural for him to recover this place, and he has coveted this place for a long time! As long as he can conquer this place full of gold and silver, will he not have inexhaustible wealth!

Naturally, the more he thought in his heart, the more anxious he became. So he naturally immediately hurried up and rushed towards the Grand Canyon in the middle of Jintai Mountain. Little did he know, however, that an army was waiting for him.

On the twelfth day of April in the first year of Guangming, the afterglow of the setting sun sprinkled on the mountains and greens of the Jintai Mountain Grand Canyon, dyeing the Jintai Mountain Grand Canyon almost a touch of blood red, which seemed to symbolize that a major event was about to happen in this place.

Located in a densely forested place on the side of the Grand Canyon, Chao Junyi and Meng Qian were using the telescope made by the leader Zhou Shuyu in his spare time, which is now popular among the Guangming Army, to observe the movements in the Grand Canyon.

In fact, for everyone in the Illuminati and the Bright Army, their leader Zhou Shuyu is like a god in the sky, the leader seems to know everything, and unexpected things like telescopes will always be made. Even, the people within the Illuminati and the Illuminati, as well as in the areas under their control, have made their lives more convenient because of the things they admire. Especially, when they heard that the guild master had recently discovered a discovery that was said to turn their lives upside down, but although this rumor circulated among them, they never said a word to the outside world. Because, not only the members of the Illuminati and the Illuminati, but also all the people under the control of the Illuminati and the Illuminati, their secrecy measures are very thorough.

Gossip is not mentioned, and it is said that at this time, the army led by Chao Junyi and Meng Qian in the Jintai Mountain Grand Canyon area, everyone's eyes are staring at the situation in the canyon without blinking.

Finally, as night fell, the triumphant and unsuspecting Li Yaosheng led an army of 100,000 under his command and finally entered the encirclement arranged by Chao Junyi and Meng Qian.

When entering the Grand Canyon, Li Yaosheng found that the army he was pursuing suddenly disappeared. Li Yaoqi, the general of his forward army, came to his brother Li Yaosheng and said, "Brother, I must catch that sharpshooter and cut off his hand." ”

And Li Yaosheng said: "Don't worry! My brother will definitely take that person's hand back for you." ”

Li Yaoqi was naturally very excited, and saw him say to his brother: "Thank you, brother, we will make a fortune this time when we recover the county seat of Jintai County!"

Li Yaosheng's eyes showed a strong look of greed, and he said directly: "Yes! Jintai Mountain is really a golden mountain! As long as we seize Jintai County, then our brothers will definitely have a fortune that will not be spent in the next life." ”

Unbeknownst to them, however, their every move was in the eyes of the rebel coalition soldiers who ambushed them.

With Chao Junyi's order, arrows like raindrops were shot from the valleys on both sides of the Jintai Mountain Grand Canyon. When Li Yaosheng and Li Yaoqi's faces still retained a touch of pride, the army under his command had been completely confused by the sudden rain of arrows. And Li Yaosheng and Li Yaoqi immediately hid behind the army that protected them. However, as the rain of arrows stopped, two cavalry with torches rushed from both sides of the Grand Canyon. Before Li Yaosheng and Li Yaoqi could react, Su Yunwen, the archer of the rebel army who was missed by Li Yaoqi, had already led his cavalry to rush over.

Su Yunwen was young, his archery skills were not only exquisite, but his sword skills were also even better, I saw him bravely rush into the enemy group, slashing everywhere, and everywhere he passed, the enemy corpses were all over the field, and no one could stop his charge.

Seeing that there were more and more enemies surrounding the army he led, and that the defeat was assured, Li Yaosheng prepared to flee immediately with his younger brother Li Yaoqi. However, Su Yunwen had already discovered them, only to see him bend his bow and shoot in the direction that Li Yaoqi left. And Li Yaoqi, who was running away at this time, never thought that an off-string arrow suddenly came and hit him in the back of the neck with great precision. By the time Li Yaosheng noticed his brother's strange appearance, Li Yaoqi was already dead. Li Yaosheng had no choice but to flee in a panic alone, but how could the impenetrable rebel coalition army, which had already surrounded him and the army he led, let him out?

The battle in the Grand Canyon of Jintai Mountain lasted all night, and all the 100,000 troops led by Li Yaosheng were annihilated, and Li Yaosheng was also captured alive. Because Li Yaosheng's crime was unforgivable, he was escorted to the execution ground by the rebel coalition army that took advantage of the victory and captured Lanxi County, and all of the criminals who colluded with him were brought to justice.

With Chao Junyi and Meng Qian working together under their command, the originally chaotic rebel army was completely integrated.

On April 20 of the first year of Guangming, the rebel army led by Chao Junyi and Meng Qian was officially reorganized into the Xiangwu Army of the Guangming Army, Chao Junyi served as the general, and Meng Qian served as the military advisor and supervisor, and the total number of troops under his command reached nearly 1.5 million, and the entire six counties in the eastern part of Xiangwu Prefecture, including Long'an County, Xingchang County, Yiguang County, Baoqing County, Fufu County, and Fuxing County, have been completely occupied by the Guangming Army. The officials, tycoons, and wealthy merchants who had brutally oppressed the people were all brought to justice, and their property, houses, and land were confiscated and distributed to the people of the six counties reasonably and legally.

At this time, when Xiahou Tai, the king of Tai'an, heard that his general Li Yaosheng and the army led by him were all annihilated by the rebel army, he was simply furious, and immediately entangled a large number of local regiments formed by local tycoons, wealthy businessmen and officials, with a number of 500,000 and 100,000 horses led by his general Zhu Gou, a total of 600,000 horses, known as 1 million, ready to attack the six counties in the east of Xiangwu Prefecture occupied by the Xiangwu Army of the Guangming Army, and destroy the Xiangwu Army of the Guangming Army.

However, what Xiahou Tai, the king of Tai'an, did not expect was that as soon as he made a military deployment, the information about his military deployment had already been sent to Chao Junyi, the general who led the Xiangwu Army of the Guangming Army at this time, and Meng Qian, the military advisor and supervisor.

Chao Junyi and Meng Qian, who had set up their camp in a small village called Hanzhuang, were analyzing the deployment of enemy troops in the information they had transmitted.

Meng Qian pointed to the map and said, "Brother, you see, the enemy's main attack direction is mainly in the three counties of Fufu County, Xingchang County, and Yiguang County. Although its army claims to have one million, it is actually only 600,000, of which 500,000 are local troops with extremely weak combat effectiveness, and what we really have to face is the 100,000 army led by Zhu Gou, and their direction of attack is towards Xingchang County in Xingchang County. If we take the lead in annihilating the army led by this Zhu Gou, then we will naturally be able to deal with the enemy's other armies with ease. ”

Chao Junyi thought so, and he said to Meng Qian: "Brother, you are right, the 100,000 army led by Zhu Gou is the army with the strongest combat effectiveness among the enemy, and it is also the backbone of the enemy. Although our army has now been reorganized, in fact the combat effectiveness of the army is not strong. Therefore, our army now needs to gather superior forces to destroy Zhu Gou's army, and then deal with those places where the organization is loose and the combat effectiveness is low, and the soldiers can completely defeat them! At the same time, the army led by Zhu Gou is arrogant and underestimates the enemy, and has always left his friendly army far behind, so we only need to send troops to intercept the friendly troops on both wings of Zhu Gou's army, lead him to the Tiger Roaring Mountain in the west of Xingchang County, gather several times the strength of the enemy's army, and encircle and annihilate him. When the enemy sees that their backbone has been cut off by our army, their morale will definitely fluctuate, and we can attack them immediately. ”

Meng Qian said, "Yes, brother, but we need to immediately summon the generals to come and discuss now." ”

Chao Junyi naturally agreed.

If you want to know what happens next, let's see the next breakdown.
