Chapter 426 Turning Point (I)

Borshu returned to Weizhou and asked to see Yuanmuzhen.

He had to come back.

He really can't deal with Zhao Ning's trouble, and if he delays any longer, he won't be able to stop Zhao Ning.

Once the battle of the cultivators of the Wang Extreme Realm went wrong, his helpers were killed, he was defeated or even beheaded, the Yunzhou garrison would come out of the city, and with the assistance of Zhao Ning and others, all the soldiers in his camp would be eaten.

By then, he'd lose all the games.

Unlike last time, this time, before meeting Motomu Zhen, Borshu also met an old acquaintance.

It is not an exaggeration to say that they are close friends and brothers in life and death.

At the same time, it was also his direct competitor.

The Right Virtuous King Chalahan!

"Why did you come to Weizhou too?" Seeing Charahan in the courtyard, Borshu walked over in surprise.

Zarahan's face was very ugly, as if he had eaten a bowl of flies:

"You still don't know about the great changes in Hebei? Also, you are south of the Yellow River, if there is news to the south, it will only report to the Great Khan of Weizhou. If the Great Khan is not sent to you, you will not know the situation. ”

"What can happen to Hebei?" Borshu instinctively thought that there would be no major problems in Hebei, after all, this place had been captured by a large army, and now the ruling order had been established.

But now that Charahan has come and used the word "great change", Borshu knows that things will not be small, and he can't help but have a bad premonition in his heart.

"You probably won't believe it. ”

Charahan took a deep breath, as if to calm the inexplicable grief and anger in his heart, and then he said like a knife:

"There are one or twenty large and small anti-thieves in Hebei, as few as 1,000 people, and as many as nearly 10,000 people, attacking the city and plundering the land, breaking into the county and Yizhou city, killing officials, grabbing wealth and grabbing food!

"Within ten months, five state cities have been breached, twenty or thirty counties have fallen, the total number of dead and wounded garrisons in various places has exceeded 20,000, and the number of state and county officials killed is even greater!

"Now the entire Hebei region has been completely chaotic, and there are thieves everywhere who are plundering!"

Borshu was dumbfounded, even if he had two more heads, he couldn't have imagined that the situation in Hebei would suddenly become like this.

If he wants to say that there are anti-thieves, he believes that after all, when he attacked the Central Plains, there were still sporadic wars to suppress bandits in various places.

But these Qi people who do not accept the rule are only a small number after all, and the scale is limited, there are very few thousands, and there are not many cultivators, why did so many rebels suddenly appear now?

In the entire Hebei region, tens of thousands of rebels are scattered all over the country, attacking counties and trapping states, killing officials and destroying the army?

How is this possible!

Borshu barely suppressed the horror in his heart, and said in a deep voice:

"We have a considerable number of garrisons in various states, even if they are not the sharpest, but compared to the army of the Southern Dynasties, they can be called elite soldiers, and the officials of the state and county officials also have good cultivation strength.

"How did the anti-thieves and peddlers in the countryside of the Southern Dynasty attack the city and plunder the land, cause us such a big loss in such a short period of time, and make such a big disturbance? Could it be that they have the help of the gods?"

Charahan looked at the main house, and saw that there was no movement inside, and Yuan Mu really didn't seem to summon them immediately, so he simply walked to the stone table under the big locust tree at the edge of the courtyard and sat down, and said with a bored face:

"Most of these anti-thieves are not weak, according to the news from the newspapers from all over the country, there are many masters and strong people among them, the Yuan Shen Realm cultivators are strong, and the army's actions are even more disciplined, as if they have been trained for a long time.

"If you want to talk about strength, it's not at all comparable to the Qi army we encountered before!"

Borshu had just heard the news, his mind was so chaotic that he couldn't sit down, and he was shocked when he heard the end:

"How can these folk warriors have such strength? Where did they get such strength? Even the regular army of the Southern Dynasty can compare to it?"

Charrahan gritted his teeth and said, "Am I not surprised?

"The princess said, although the Southern Dynasty has no way, the government is dark, the world is corrupt, and there are many internal troubles, which has led to the decline of the army's combat strength, and it can't hold the border fortress, and it can't compete with my Tianyuan warriors.

"However, the Southern Dynasty has thousands of years of heritage, with vast land, outstanding people, talents, and countless heroes, and there is no shortage of ambitious and capable people at any time.

"It's just that when the world is chaotic, it's all villains, and those who are good at flattery and flattery steal high positions, and the real heroes can't be reused, and they can only be oppressed in the market, and their talents are difficult to show, and they are reduced to mediocrity.

"Therefore, although the Southern Dynasty looks weak, it is only the weakness of the imperial court, and the people of the rivers and lakes do not lack strength.

"Once this force is fully gathered, standing on the stage and on the battlefield, it will be an absolute henchman, and it will cause us countless troubles!"

I have heard enough of this argument, Xiao Yan has always told them this, but it is a fact that the army quickly captured Hebei, and it is also a fact that they killed the soldiers and civilians of Daqi like slaughtering pigs and dogs.

Before fighting head-to-head with the Zhao family, Borshu had never encountered a decent opponent, and this time, except for the setback in Yunzhou, his soldiers and horses went south to attack Puzhou, Huazhou, and Caozhou, all of which were all in one drum.

He didn't think that there was anything great about Qi Ren, he would be one level higher than the Tian Yuan Warriors, and how much stronger he could be than the Tian Yuan Warriors.

Therefore, he, the commander who commanded the three armies, killed countless people, and attacked cities and plundered the land as if he were walking on the ground, was still unconvinced at this time:

"Even if there are some capable people in the folk rivers and lakes of the Southern Dynasties, our soldiers and horses are guarding the state city and occupying the county, the former has a large army to defend the country, and the latter has also recruited soldiers to protect it, and the landlords, rich and local tyrants in various places have basically been subdued and have become our minions.

"In this case, how can those five states and thirty counties be beaten into this appearance by a team of thousands of people?"

"Why don't you think it's a fantasy?" Charahan was so depressed that he wanted to pound the stone table, but this was the place where Motoki really stayed, so he could only force it out.

Even so, the stone table was still smashed by him and trembled, "But if you know exactly how these thieves do it, you will not be incredible, but cold all over your body!"

Borshu wondered, "What the hell did they do?"

Charahan couldn't help but sigh up to the sky, and his eyes couldn't help but show jealousy: "Thirty counties in five states have been attacked, and there are too many wars, so I'll pick a typical one to tell you about." Do you know Baiyangdian?

"Ten months ago, the river bandits entrenched in Baiyangdian dispatched more than 100 people to attack Tangxing County, killed officials and burned the county government, this kind of thing has not happened before, so it annoyed Mozhou.

"According to our previous understanding, this group of river bandits is only about 200 people, and Mozhou dispatched a team of 1,000 people to encircle and suppress it, and also brought a guide who is familiar with the terrain, the original intention is to deter all those who have rebellion, what is the result?

"When the veterans of the division were tired, they were surrounded by more than 1,000 people, and the difference was completely wiped out!

"Mozhou got the news, in case there are still traps, the garrison poured out, and then guess what?

"Mozhou City was attacked by more than a thousand river bandits all night, and there were actually their cultivators in the city, and their strength was still very strong, so they directly opened the city gate!

"The garrison that went to Baiyangdian, because they were not familiar with the terrain of Baiyangdian, didn't get anything after the other party retreated - the guide didn't know where to go during the battle, and he was ambushed on the way back to Mozhou, and the whole army was wiped out!

"Only then did we know that there were no less than 4,000 people in this group of river bandits!

"Four thousand people, they are all well-trained, and their combat power is stronger than that of the regular army of the Southern Dynasty, and the number of cultivators is not inferior to us at all! Who could have imagined this in advance?"

Borshu was speechless in astonishment.

"You think that's the end of it?

"A group of anti-thieves with such a strong fighting power of such a scale are entrenched in Baiyangdian, if they are not exterminated immediately, they will become a big disaster in the future, so they really set out a large army and mobilized the garrisons of the surrounding states and cities to help, a total of 20,000 people to kill!

"20,000 people, that's a lot, but when I arrived in Baiyangdian, I was still dizzy by the other party's suspicious soldiers, and there were even cases of my own people beating my own people at night!

"Baiyangdian, Fox Lake and the surrounding lake area are too big, and it is not a problem for 20,000 people to go in.

"Guess what, when these 20,000 people were trapped in Baiyangdian, those state cities where the garrison was transferred were attacked by anti-thieves again!

"Some held on, killing a lot of enemies, and some didn't, and suffered heavy losses. And when there was a war in the state city, the county was hit at the same time, and they only had some stragglers, and they could not get the rescue of the state city, all of which were repeating the mistakes of Tangxing County, and the treasury money and grain were swept away!

"At this time, we found out that the number of anti-thieves far exceeded expectations, and the 4,000 people in Baiyangdian were just one of them, and there were many such thieves in various states, which added up to an extremely terrifying number!

"What scares us more than the number of anti-thieves is the number and strength of the cultivators among them, and it seems to be ubiquitous in the state and county!

"It wasn't until this time that we knew what the princess said, what kind of scene it was when the heroes in the folk rivers and lakes of the Southern Dynasties were everywhere!"

Speaking of this, Charahan relieved for a while.

It's not that he's tired, it's that these contents make him emotionally depressed.

Borshu's face turned black and he stood without saying a word.

He has realized the seriousness of the problem.

This is no less than the setbacks suffered by his subordinates in Yunzhou and Yangliucheng, and as far as the overall situation of the entire national war is concerned, the harm of a fire in the backyard is far greater than the unhappiness of the war on the front line.

After half a ring, Charahan continued: "The chaos stirred up in Baiyangdian seems to be only so big, but it is far from being so.

"When there was a war in the surrounding states and counties of Baiyangdian, the anti-thieves in Hebei Province rose up, although the movement was not so big, but the strategy used was similar to that of Baiyangdian.

"The same is to attack and kill the county officials with a small force, lure the local garrison to attack, and then take advantage of the weakness to enter, with the help of Neiying, wantonly plundering the prefecture and county.

"The two echo each other, within ten months, the thieves have set off a monstrous trend in Hebei!

"Under the influence of this trend, there are many changes in Qi people everywhere.

"The two-legged sheep of the Southern Dynasty, who were originally docile, now dare to look angrily at our people; many of the local clans who were supposed to take refuge in us have become both heads and rats; I heard that there are still many people who secretly conspire with these thieves, or go to these rebels, or plot against our officials and soldiers in various places!

"All in all, the Hebei land we just occupied, the rule is not yet stable, and now the order has been greatly disrupted!

"So don't look at the fact that there are only so many states and counties that have been breached at the moment, and these thieves fled after grabbing money and food, and did not occupy the counties and cities, but the hidden dangers left to us are extraordinary!

"If this matter is not resolved, how can the army at the front fight with peace of mind?

"In addition, the war against Hedong has been fought non-stop for more than half a year, and the consumption of money, grain and materials by more than 200,000 troops is already huge, and the food and salary we mobilized some time ago have such a big problem at the critical stage of transshipment and concentration, and there are too many losses.

"Now that the real grain stock has not been fully replenished, it can no longer meet the needs of the army in front of us for many months, and when these thieves escape into the mountains, forests, lakes and lakes, it is not easy for us to find them, and we can't get these money and grain back in time!

"By now you should know how bad the situation is for us. ”
