The battle against the lacquer carver and the Yang family was very smooth, and wherever the dreadnought army went, there would always be some inexplicable changes in the cities of these two families, or a general defending the city suddenly fell to death, or the city tower suddenly caught fire.

From the beginning of killing the Lu family, Wu Gen had already tried his best to infiltrate the two families. In particular, taking advantage of the opportunity to collect taxes, he won over many people from the other side.

The reason why it will go so smoothly is, in the final analysis, because of the strong combat power of the dreadnought, with such a fierce tiger on its side, people's minds will inevitably fluctuate.

There are many smart people in this world, and they can foresee that as long as the Ji family does not do their best to defeat the dreadnought, the three counties around Liangsha Mountain will sooner or later be Wu Gan's sphere of influence, so they will take refuge without hindrance, except for those who are sitting in high positions and their descendants.

The head of the lacquer carving family was also strong, and committed suicide in the head of his main city, as for the head of the Yang family, Wu Gen was given to Ji Nan and was responsible for disposing of it.

There was no longer any opponent to threaten him in front of the mountain, and all the military horses escorted the prisoners and entered the mountain with a bang.

But after entering the mountain, these people did not return to their military camp, but plunged eastward into the vast wilderness in the name of inspecting the two new counties.

With such a big victory, the armies did not usher in the expected reward, and even Wu Gan never showed up from head to toe. At present, the most reliable theory is that Wu Gan was stabbed in bed because he robbed the people's daughter, injured the critical place, and has been seeking medical treatment outside.

Wu Yan naturally didn't know what he had been arranged, he was sitting in a carriage with Ji Xin at this time, and was following the army north.

In order to keep the march secret and prevent news from leaking, the army chose sparsely populated places, and all the falcons in the army were confiscated. At the same time, Yang Zheng took Niu Chao, Ji Chenming and others to investigate carefully where the army passed, and took down those who deliberately left clues on the way one by one, and beheaded dozens of people successively.

The Righteous Eagle Army was constantly patrolling the air, but whenever they found someone snooping, whether it was ordinary people or other people's scouts, they would take them all.

Of course, in such a vast and sparsely populated place as Kuntianzhou, if it wasn't for the intention to send people to reconnoitre, it would be really difficult for these more than 40,000 people to be discovered walking in the wilderness.

So the dreadnought army passed through the two families smoothly, and when it came to the Duan Gan family, the good luck finally came to an end. Bumped into a group of more than 1,000 Duan Gan family soldiers, and after a short engagement, the Dreadnought successfully took down the opponent.

But it also means that the whereabouts of the Dreadnoughts could be revealed. So, Wu Gan ordered that when he saw some small towns, he didn't have to bypass, and rushed to the territory of the original Cangjia with all his might, which is now Cangye County.

When borrowing food in a small city, the dreadnoughts found a notice on the city gate, and now Wu Jian and Ji Xin are looking at this piece of paper.

The paper is ordinary paper, but the content on the paper is earth-shattering. The content of this notice is the edict of the eldest young lord Ji Chen.

There are not many words on the edict, but there are thousands of words. The main meaning is that except for the Lu family, the Gu family, the Lu family and other families that have been wiped out, they still have counties, and the rest of the families still maintain the existing regulations.

It's just that after the death of the current head of the family, the land will be divided equally among his children. These people are all heads of households, not subordinate to each other, and even the next generation, and they must divide their own territory equally among their descendants.

"This brute, it was hard to suppress the families to agree to the reform, but he actually went against the grain and put the good situation in vain." Ji Xin was furious when he saw the notice, Ji Chen's move can be said to be a negation of his original plan, at least for a few decades, the families will maintain the status quo today.

Wu Yan stared at this notice silently, frowning, when the army was marching, Ji Chen suddenly threw out this notice, which was a big problem for the dreadnought army.

Originally, he attacked Hanlu City in the name of Ji Yan, but in the eyes of other families, it was a dispute within the Ji family, which had little to do with the families, and some people would even be happy to see it, and it would be difficult for the Ji family to strongly promote the restructuring after it was weakened.

But Ji Chen's move was to bring various families to his side, and there was no need to reform the system, but he just sent someone to supervise him

That's a lot easier, Governor. Although the territory must be divided among the heirs after his death, his strength will gradually be reduced, but after all, the meat is rotten in his own pot.

In this way, the Dreadnought Army originally only needed to defeat the Southern Army and some guards, and now it has to add various families.

"It's difficult, this battle is not going to be fought." Wu Gan muttered, holding the notice high, hating to eat all these words.

At night, the dreadnought army, which had been rushing all the way, stopped for the first time and discussed countermeasures in response to Ji Chen's notice.

"The crowd builds a family with little strength, good means, and good strategy." Yang Zheng looked at the notice and exclaimed, he was born in the royal family, and he knew the subtlety of this order, "It's just that if this strategy is to be implemented, Ji Chen must have a team of men and horses in his hands who can defeat five or six families at the same time, otherwise these families will think of ways to avoid their own territory being divided, and they will be swallowed by the Ji family under a little weakening."

"Regardless of Ji Chen's troubles, we are really in trouble at the moment, and we may be facing the Southern Army with the help of many families. If we don't solve the problem of this notice, we won't win this battle." Hu Jia also interjected.

"Ruthless, this move is indeed ruthless, now the situation in the Iron Hand Province has suddenly stabilized, enveloping all the families on his side, and Ji Chen's position is stable." Cang Renjing couldn't help but sigh again and again, although it is not good to fight, but only on political affairs, Ji Chen is still quite insightful. "Fortunately, this route chosen by our army avoided most of the families, otherwise these families would have been intercepted layer by layer, and with a little blood loss, our army would have been weakened by the time they arrived at Cold Land City."

Wu Yan kneaded his eyebrows, political affairs are not his own strengths, and sure enough, those who play with power are masters, and a piece of paper can be worth 100,000 elite soldiers.

"Yang Zheng, Lu Qing, Cang Renjing, a few of you have left other things behind these days, think about how to break the other party's notice, the other party has made this false move, we should use the false trick as a counterpart." After discussing for a long time, everyone present was a little helpless, Wu Gen had to hand over the matter to Yang Zheng and others, there was no way, except for these few people, everyone else in the tent, including himself, was a group of fighting men, where would they play such a nerve-wracking thing.

"Since Ji Chen has benefited the families and their heirs, if you want to break it, you might as well let more people profit to offset the success of this strategy." Shui Congyue, who has always been quiet during military discussions, suddenly spoke.

Everyone present was stunned, for a long time, everyone regarded Shui Congyue as a fierce general, but they didn't want people to be nobles, they had read scriptures since childhood, and they had a strategy, but they were too lazy to talk on weekdays.

Yang Zheng's eyes lit up, and he slapped his palm and smiled, "Yes, since Ji Chen is willing to give in to the profit, let's take some more fierce medicine, as for whether to cash in the future or not, we still have to speak with our fists."

Wu Gen saw that these people had ideas, and his spirit was also greatly lifted, "Yang Zheng, a few of you think about it, the army still has to move forward quickly. As soon as this notice comes out, there will definitely be families who will send troops to defend Hanlu City, and we must march as soon as possible to prevent more families from joining the Southern Army."

After only one night's rest, the dreadnoughts marched through the territory of each family with all their might, and those who could not fight would never fight, and even if they did, they would only defeat them, so as not to delay their journey.

In this way, the dreadnought army finally reached the territory of the original Lu family, and further on, Wu Gan prepared to follow the old road of the coalition army at that time, go out of Yediyuan, and attack Hanlu City to the west.

However, even after choosing such a path, Wu Gen also found that there were some changes in various places. Many of these county guards appointed by the Ji family have already taken refuge in Ji Chen, openly and secretly blocking the dreadnought.

Either the city is closed, or the walls are clear, making it quite difficult for the dreadnought army to raise food and grass. In desperation, according to Cang Renjing's intentions, Wu Gan besieged the city with a large army, and incited the residents of the city to revolt.

After all, these county guards have just taken office, and it is difficult to fully control all the affairs in the county, plus the previous dreadnought army passed through these cities when they went to Liangsha Mountain, and most of the people in the city were involved with some soldiers of the dreadnought, so they quickly took the counties.

Just when he entered the original Lu family's territory, which is now Zhenyi County, Wu Gan heard a speechless news. Meng Zhuo, the new county guard of the county, actually took down his younger brother Meng Ling and sent him to Hanlu City.

Meng Ling had been serving under Ji Ye, but after Ji Ye was captured,

Ji Chen and Murong Yanyu pursued their subordinates, and many people were killed. Meng Ling had no choice but to flee to Meng Zhuo for refuge. But he didn't want Meng Zhuo to kill his relatives in righteousness, so he ordered him to be tied up and given to Ji Chen, and heard that he had been beheaded in the city.

Meng Shun and Meng Shuo, who heard this letter, were furious, and they wanted to raise troops to attack Maojing City and take down this guy who disregarded family affection for the sake of power.

It's just that Wu Gen doesn't want to go too deep into Zhenyi County too much, after all, he has to arrive in Cold Land City before the families and horses are assembled, and he really can't delay time, so he can only let these villains survive for a few more days.

After the army arrived in Qinghuai City, Wu Gan ordered to rest in the city for two days, marching for days, the men and horses were tired, and it was the end of the crossbow.

Wu Geng had a headache and found that the remaining grain and grass could only last for twenty days. How is this good, if you want to fight in front of Cold Land City, how can it be achieved in 20 days, in case of another big war, I am afraid it will be consumed faster.

Sitting in this familiar big city, Wu Gen and Meng Shuo and others smiled bitterly, marching and fighting, grain and grass first, but they didn't expect that there would be a risk of running out of food in the end. Although Meng Shuo sent people to search around, they didn't get much, and a large amount of grain and grass had already been requisitioned by Meng Zhuo. Look at the book

"No, let's turn around and fight back, we can't march without food and grass." Hu Jia said viciously. Originally, according to the plan, after arriving in Zhenyi County, with Meng Zhuo's acquaintance, it should be quite easy to raise food and grass, but I didn't expect this person to turn his face and deny people, but instead yin the dreadnought army, such a change really caught Wu Yan off guard.

"It takes more than ten days to fight back and forth, and for each day of delay, the more enemy troops will be in front of you." Yang Zheng looked at the information in his hand with a bored expression.

According to the reconnaissance of the Yihu army, there was already a large gathering of military horses in the area of Yediyuan, and follow-up reinforcements were still coming from all directions. If you delay for a day, the other party will have a lot of people.

In the current situation, the dreadnought army is lonely, and there is no way to retreat, either to defeat the opponent, or the foundation that has been accumulated so hard will be lost.

In the middle of the frustration, suddenly a Yihu army entered the city to report that a convoy of more than 1,000 people came from the east, escorting a large number of carriages, and was rushing in the direction of Qinghuai City.

"Send someone to see." Wu Yan had no choice but to order the Yihu army to investigate, and the Chinese army Zhang Wuyang brought a group of men to intercept it.

After waiting for a long time, Zhang Wuyang took one person and took the first to return in the Danghu bird. Waiting for the mansion of the dreadnought army in the city, Zhang Wuyang entered the house with a strange face.

Seeing Wu Qian, Zhang Wuyang snorted, and secretly glanced at Meng Shuo from time to time.

"What's the matter, but who led the troops here?" Wu Yan felt strange in his heart, and hurriedly urged.

"It's Ning Yuxi who came here." Zhang Wuyang's voice was much quieter.

Wu Gan's expression froze, and he glanced at Meng Shuo with a weak heart, "What is she doing here?"

"She's here to deliver food."
