Licheng is only a small city, and the defenders are no more than 500.

Originally, the armament and equipment of these five hundred defenders were enough to deal with the rebellion of a group of rebellious people, but because of the existence of Bu Jingxian and Zhao Ji, the strength of these five hundred defenders was quickly disintegrated.

Bu Jingxian let everyone eat and drink to their heart's content, and prepared weapons, waiting for the city guard to send troops to suppress it when the city guard received the news, and killed most of those officers and soldiers with Zhao Ji on the way. Taking advantage of the momentum to attack the city, the city gate was controlled by Zhao Ji before it was closed, and the defenders of the city wall were chased and killed by Bu Jingxian and Zhao Ji in two ways, and the chaotic party rushed into the city with agricultural iron tools and shouted 'The spirit is awake, the soul is revealed.' Believe in the soul of God to be free, and go against the soul of God will be punished. The slogan, if you encounter resistance, you will kill, and when you see a rich family, you will rob.

The remnants of the defenders were afraid that they would not run fast enough, and they fled when they saw the red-eyed rebels, but anyone who was caught was smashed and slashed on the spot with hoes, sickles, etc., and died on the spot. The residents of the city closed their doors and locked their windows one by one, lest they be affected. Originally, the Immortal Soul Will Seekers and some poor people gathered in the city joined the robbery force one after another, making the momentum even more amazing.

The battle to take Licheng lasted just over an hour.

More than 1,000 people increased to 8,000 in the blink of an eye. It's just that the ordnance and equipment of the city are insufficient, and the armor taken off the officers and soldiers defending the city is only enough to equip 700 people, and more than 1,000 people use weapons looted from the city's blacksmith shops, and the others use meat knives collected from the homes of the city's residents.

After reading the topographic map of the eighty li area around the city, he divided the eight thousand men into ten teams and ordered them to sweep the large and small villages and towns within eighty li of the city.

He also explained to Zhao Ji and said, "The flying eagle sent a message to the princess and dispatched fifty good hands and horses to rush to support. Then I hurried to Zheng Guodongguan with my letter, and personally handed it over to Zheng Guoxin and Hou Lingluo, and there must be no mistake. ”

"Is the king going to borrow Zheng Guo's soldiers and horses?" Zhao Ji was puzzled.

"Otherwise, the army of Kailaicheng, a hundred miles away from the Wei State, would be killed, and these untrained 8,000 people would not be enough to resist. You go and do it immediately, if I expected it is correct, Xinhou Lingluo has already been in the eastern Guancheng of Zheng State, and was originally going to attack Wei State, and now we are revolting in Licheng, and we are creating an opportunity for them to send troops. ”

"Subordinates take orders!"

Zhao Ji left with the letter.

Bu Jingxian also asked the hundred Immortal Soul Will seekers who were left on standby to go to the city to appease the people and preach the Immortal Soul Will, while he sat in the city government and waited for the results to be rewarded.

Zheng Guozuo learned of the change in Licheng and quickly returned to Lingluo in Shangguan in Dongcheng.

Zheng Guo originally planned to send troops to attack Wei a month earlier, but later postponed for some reason and has not moved his troops so far, while Ling Luo arrived at Chengguan early. This was the first time he had commanded a large army, and his henchmen were all the right-hand men of his father's Zuo Shuchang. Ling Luo attached great importance to this expedition, lest he make a mistake and lose his father's name. Most of the time I spent in the barracks tent, thinking about the war.

When you get a detailed return, the case applauds.

"Okay! It's the right time for the immortal soul to make trouble, pass on my military order, and all the generals can come to the big tent to discuss matters. ”

Not long after the herald went out, someone came to report again.

"Qi Xinhou, General Zhao Ji of Zhou State held a letter from Beijun, and asked to see him outside the camp. ”

Ling Luo was secretly surprised, not many people in the country knew about his coming to Beiguan, in order to make Wei unprepared. "Please!"

After seeing Zhao Ji and reading the letters of the shocking immortals, Ling Luo's evaluation of Beijun couldn't help but be even higher.

"The king of Wei is not benevolent, and it is natural for the world to fight together. I wonder how many soldiers and horses of the Zhou State participated in this battle?"

"Returning to the letter marquis, the king was originally just going out to relax, passing through this place and learning about the cruelty and unkindness of the king of Wei, so he raised his arms and shouted and led the people to revolt. The state of Zhou would not send soldiers and horses for this, but the entire state of Wei had soldiers and horses everywhere. The emperor only wanted to save the suffering people, and had no intention of seizing the land of Wei, so he hoped to form an alliance with Zheng and unanimously defeat Wei. ”

"Okay! General Lao has returned to Beijun, and the two armies of you and me will be an alliance from now on, and they will not offend each other, and they will unanimously attack Wei!"

After Zhao Ji left, the strategists in the tent persuaded him, "If the Zhou State marches to attack Wei, our army has a great opportunity to take advantage of the opportunity to attack Zhou, and Xinhou's move may be inappropriate." ”

Ling Luo smiled and said, "Our army is allied with the Immortal Soul Rebel Army led by Beijun, not the Zhou State. ”

The strategist suddenly realized, and said straightly, "Xinhou is thoughtful and admired." ”

The Licheng Rebellion allowed Zheng to send troops to attack Wei in advance, and Wei wanted to ask Yan for help, but not long after the envoys set off, Chu also sent troops to Yan.

The world that did not stop for a long time was in turmoil again because of the dispatch of troops by Zheng and Chu.

In three months, the number of the Immortal Soul Rebel led by Beijun exceeded 200,000, steadily occupying the land of Wei within a radius of several hundred miles around Licheng. Beijun's uprising has become the object of imitation by many people, and within half a year, there are indestructible Divine Soul rebel armies of different sizes everywhere in the world, and the leaders all claim to be the Divine Soul Messengers selected by the Divine Soul Great Immortal.

At first, many people were dismissive of the immortal rebels, believing that the destitute and dispossessed untouchables would not be able to do anything. Soon, however, when the number of these rebels snowballed to more than 1.5 million, all the nations were troubled by the turmoil caused by these rebels.

Soon after the war, there were homeless refugees everywhere in the world, and these refugees also followed the rebel army to rebel, which increased the momentum of the rebel army. Most of these rebel armies were short of money and food, and many fled to the Zhou State after being attacked by the army of the Seven Powers to quell the turmoil, some stayed in the Zhou State, and some defected to Licheng. Everyone knows that the Northern Monarch of Zhou is the leader of the Licheng Rebel Army and the seeker of the will of the immortal soul.

Because of this, the population of Zhou surged by two million in eight months.

At this time, the rebel army led by Licheng Beijun was known as the Divine Soul Army, numbering more than 500,000, after several months of training and preparation, taking advantage of the wind of Zheng State's attack on Wei State, and seized the two big cities in the east and north of Licheng. More than 80,000 soldiers and horses have been trained, and more than 50,000 regular troops are fully armoured.

"Your Majesty, the princess Feiying sent a message saying that there was still a rebel army from the Zhou State that had defected to Licheng from the rebel army defeated by the Chen State, with a number of 10,000. When Zhao Ji reported it, he saw that Bu Jingxian frowned, knowing that he was worried about the supply of the army. The strength of the rebel army was astonishing, and the number of people surged, but money, food, and ordnance had always been a headache, and even if Zhou Guo helped with all his might, he could not afford to support this kind of army.

And Bu Jingxian has not used Zhoudu's money and grain reserves, and has relied on the two big cities of Wei to provide for it. But this is not a long-term solution, the men and horses are not well trained, the armament is not complete, and there are many people. If it can't continue to attack Wei, it will inevitably not be able to support it, but Wei is now increasing its troops to defend, and it is difficult to break the enemy with the combat effectiveness of this equipment.

The insurrectionary army, which flocked to the army, undoubtedly became a burden, adding to the difficulties.
