Zhang Cheng and Yuan Shu's side had a gratifying record, and Yuan Xiang and Lin Chong, who were ordered by Zhao Xu to ambush Qu Lang, were not far behind.

Yuan Xiang first defeated Qu Lang's army formation with ambush soldiers, Lin Chong then personally led the cavalry to chase and kill, 10,000 rebels collapsed under the joint efforts of the two, the dead died, the surrendered, and the fleeing fled, Qu Lang was even more beheaded by Wu Song in the chaotic army, and went to see his brother who first threw himself into the underground.

The Qu brothers were also unlucky and met Wu Song, the killer star.

More than that, the defeated army that fled was blocked in the middle of the road by Li Yu, the commander of Ningtong City, with 2,000 soldiers and horses, and had no choice but to abandon their weapons and surrender, and less than 12 out of 10 escaped.

In this battle, the rebels' mobile forces were completely wiped out.

The remnants of the rebels have no way to survive except for the remnants of the turtle cowering in Suilin City and Denglong Pass!

After receiving the news of the complete victory in the ambush battle, Zhao Xu nodded with satisfaction and began to arrange the transfer of the remaining soldiers and prisoners.

After this series of battles, Qingyuan County is no longer the front line of the battle, and the grain stocks in the county seat of Qingyuan County are already stretched, so he needs to transfer to Ningtong, the capital of Jiaxing Prefecture, to prepare for the next step of completely sweeping away the rebels, and at the same time, he also wants to meet Fang Zhe, the competent supervisor of Jiaxing Prefecture.

Before leaving, Zhao Xu specially summoned Fan Chen and instructed:

"This king will go to Ningtong in a few days, and I don't know when you and I will see each other again. You need to study well, don't disappoint the king's grace, don't disappoint the people! ”

As he spoke, he asked the guards to fetch a book and handed it to Fan Chen.

Feeling the heavy weight of the book in his hand, Fan Chen was extremely moved in his heart and gave a solemn salute to Zhao Xu.

"Student Fan Chen, never disappoint the expectations of the prince!"

"Don't say these words, you study, not for this king, for yourself, for Da Chu, and for the people."

Zhao Xu patted Fan Chen's shoulder, stepped on the guard's horse, and walked out of Qingyuan County.

Looking at Zhao Xu's gradually disappearing back, Fan Chen said softly:

"When Fan succeeds in his studies, he will go to Shenjing to repay the prince's kindness today."

"If my brother goes, don't forget to bring my little sister." Fan Rou didn't know when she appeared next to Fan Chen, and said shyly, "General Lin's life-saving grace, the little sister hasn't repaid it yet." ”

Fan Chen glanced at his sister thoughtfully, he always felt that his sister seemed to have something to say......

"Fang Zhe, the supervisor of the soldiers and horses of Jiaxing Mansion, led the generals and colonels of Jiaxing to meet His Royal Highness King Ning!"

Knowing that Zhao Xu was coming, Fang Zhe led the officials of Ningtong City ten miles out of the city to greet him.

"I bother you to come to greet you, but it seems that this king is wrong." Zhao Xu looked at the officials in front of him, his brows furrowed slightly.

He has always been displeased with these entertainments, whether it is in the past life or in the present day.

"Your Highness, don't blame, this is the army officer who learned that the prince was coming, and specially asked the subordinate to lead them together, saying that he wanted to see the prince's demeanor with his own eyes." Fang Zhe hurriedly said.

"What's so nice about this king?" Zhao Xu waved his hand, "Isn't it the same as you?" It's all one nose and two eyes. ”

As soon as this remark came out, it immediately caused a burst of chuckles.

"Your kindness, this king understands it." Zhao Xu looked at everyone and said in a deep voice, "No matter what the top priority is now, it is to completely sweep away the rebels and recover Suilin and Denglong Pass." After the rebellion is put down, you will see this king for as long as you want, and this king will accompany you for as long as you don't get bored. ”

These words completely turned a chuckle into a laugh.

"So, you still have to do something," Zhao Xu said, looking at Fang Zhe, "Fang Dujian." ”

Fang Zhe understood, stretched out his hand, and said:

"I also ask the prince to move to the government and discuss the counterinsurgency with the lower officials."

Give the soldiers and prisoners to your generals and let them take them to the original rebel camp.

Although the rebel camp was damaged in last night's attack, it would not take a few days to repair it with these prisoners as labor.

Zhao Xu was in front, Fang Zhe was behind, and behind the two were Yuan Xiang, Wu Song, Lin Chong and other generals.

Everyone sat down, Zhao Xu was unceremoniously, and asked straight to the point:

"I don't know what you think of Po Suilin?"

Fang Zhe shook his head and said:

"Your Highness, Suilin is located north of Denglong Pass, and has always been a transit place for transporting grain and grass to Denglong Pass and General Qu's guards, and it is one of the few military towns in the southwest. Suilin City is not only high and deep, but also has a large amount of grain and grass hoarded in the city. Although the two brothers of Qu Li Qulang, the leader of the rebel army, were killed one after another, if the rebels did not come out of the city, it would probably take a short time to break the city. ”

"Your Highness, apart from attacking and fighting, the last general really can't think of any good ideas."

Yuan Xiang also frowned.

"Is there no other way than to attack hard?"

When Zhao Xu heard this, his brows furrowed, and he muttered to himself.

In his opinion, it is best not to use this method, because even if the city is captured in the end, it will probably be a disastrous victory.

I finally cultivated some self-confidence for the soldiers of Jingying, and in this way, it was completely gone!

"I advise you not to act rashly."

Suddenly, an ethereal voice floated in from outside the county office: "Just three days ago, the master of the Five Immortal Sect behind Qu Li, one of the five witches, the holy scorpion envoy Guo Pengyi, came to Suilin City and brought nearly a hundred zombies that he had refined in Denglong Pass. If the officers and soldiers do not know the details and attack the city without authorization, I am afraid that as the Fang Metropolitan Eunuch said, they will suffer heavy losses. ”

Before the words fell, a figure appeared from outside the lobby of the government office, but the guards guarding outside the hall of the government office were motionless, as if they were unaware!

"How daring!"

Yuan Xiang shouted, Lin Chong and Wu Song each held blades in front of Zhao Xu, and all the generals and colonels also drew their weapons and glared at the comer.

Zhao Xu looked at the young man in front of him who was wearing a navy blue Miao robe and carrying a curved long knife at his waist, and his brows furrowed slightly.

This person was able to hide the spiritual sense of Wu Songlin Chong and the others, restrain the guards outside the door under the noses of a group of generals, and then swaggered in, which shows that he is extremely confident in his martial arts, coupled with what he said......

"Are you from the Five Immortals Sect?"

Zhao Xu asked coldly.

The young man glanced at Zhao Xu with a little surprise, bowed slightly, and said, "The contemptible Five Immortals Sect Jade Toad envoy Du Yanqi has seen His Royal Highness King Ning. ”

"As the queen mother said, the rebellion in Miao Jiang is related to your Five Immortal Sect!"

Zhao Xu said coldly.

As soon as these words came out, the eyes of everyone in the hall who looked at this young man who called himself Du Yanqi became more and more unkind.

It turns out that you guys are behind it!

Du Yanqi's face changed slightly, and he said with a wry smile: "I'm afraid the queen mother has misunderstood something, this rebellion in Miaojiang is definitely not the intention of the sect leader and the holy woman." Two months ago, the head of the church went out to visit friends, the holy woman went into retreat, and the religious affairs of the church were taken care of by the five shamans. The holy scorpion made Guo Pengyi greedy for the sect's extinct learning, and found an opportunity to steal it. Fortunately, the spirit snake and the wind centipede noticed it in time, hit it hard, and escaped from the black water swamp. Later, this person even colluded with a clan leader like Qu Li and a Qi businessman like Jiang Fangshun, and rebelled and ruined the reputation of my Five Immortal Sect! After the saint came out of the customs, she was specially ordered to come down to help! ”

Zhao Xu listened, and his pupils couldn't help shrinking.

That Jiang Fangshun turned out to be a businessman of Qi State?!

This point was not known to the entire Chu court.

Du Yanqi smiled slightly, his smile was full of self-esteem and pride.

"Your Highness, the wind and grass in Miao Jiang can't hide anything from my Five Immortal Sect."

"Then, this king may know what your faction has lost, so that it is so exciting," Zhao Xu did not give in, stared at Du Yanqi's eyes and asked, "There are even some nervousness?" ”
