Chapter 657: A Wolf in Sheep's Clothing
In the golden autumn of October, the layers of rice waves were blown by the wind, setting off a ** golden wave, slapping to the end of the sky, Panlong County, Jiuchuan Prefecture, on the wide straight official road leading to Panlong City, looking at the past from afar, a banner hunting in the wind.
The gray-black armor shimmered in the sunlight, and the ground was tread with neat steps. Attracting the sideways glances of the peasants who were harvesting grain in the fields on both sides, the horse-repelling rifle that was seven or eight feet long was like a forest of guns pointing obliquely to the sky, and several neighing sounds of horses sounded from the ranks, and the horses galloped to the front of the brigade. [bsp;
bsp; This is in the reorganization of Xiangyang, awarded to the 22nd and 23rd divisions of the local aristocratic division of Jialin Prefecture, 50,000 aristocratic private troops in sharp armor like a long dragon into the territory of Panlong County, a large county in the south of Jiu'fu.
This mighty and majestic soldier and horse only attracted the attention of the peasants on both sides for a while, and then continued to wave the sickle in his hand, and continued to harvest the crops.
Panlong County, a large city located in the southwest of Chuzhou, used to be an important fortress in the southern part of the former dynasty, but unfortunately it was destroyed in the war after the Li Tang Rebellion. Sticker bar shake hands and play dedication. Subsequently, the city was rebuilt, but after the repair, the imperial soldiers and horses marched south, seizing a large area of southern territory, and Panlong City was no longer a border city, and its military status declined, allowing it to gradually transition to an ordinary city.
However, although it has changed, Panlong City was originally built according to the fortress, the city wall is tall and heavy, and the appearance is even more rugged and atmospheric, but the original fortress has now become an inner city, and an outer city has been built on the periphery.
The county guard of Jinlong County, the city guard of Panlong City and a cadre of officials have been waiting at the south gate of Panlong City for a long time, because they got the news early, this time an earl of Jialin Mansion, several viscounts have personally led the troops to go out, and now the Nine "Mansion is not peaceful, such a army of soldiers and horses has arrived, and it has naturally received the attention of the officials up and down.
Soon, from the south gate, you have seen the front team of tens of thousands of troops, and the first is thousands of giant horned sika deer, this giant horned sika deer has two majestic ramming horns, the horns are equipped with sharp blades, and the deer body is also very strong, even higher than the average war horse.
This is the largest number of Giant Horned Tang Beasts in the jungle mountains and valleys south of Jialin Mansion, and the adult Giant Horn Deer Beast is only a fourth order, but this Giant Horned Deer Beast lives in groups, and the reproduction speed is very fast, almost all the noble private armies in the south of Jialin Mansion will have some Giant Horned Deer Beasts to ride.
"Panlong City, it's finally here, Jialin Mansion is already our world, next, as long as we control Panlong County, we will take the first step, and there will be no turning back after that, everyone. Do you want to keep going?"
The one who spoke was a middle-aged man sitting on a golden giant horned deer beast with golden antlers, wearing a golden battle armor, a snow-white cloak on his back, a treasure carving on his waist, and a pair of tiger eyes that were very different.
"I am waiting to elect the Earl as the king, we have already made all the preparations, who dares to repent, I Lin Yu's knife is the first, and I will behead him!" It was Viscount Yulin who spoke, a angry man who had just been in power for less than half a year, with a tyrannical aura all over his body, but this person was the most sincere lackey of the Count of Purple Shirts, of course, why the old viscount who died suddenly was also worth recalling, but the few people present would not go to investigate, because this day has changed.
The counties of Jialin Province still remain the same, but with the strength of these people in Jialin Province. force, it can be said that as long as it is done, as soon as you ascend to the heights, Jialin Mansion will hear and respond, because now the soldiers and horses of the entire Jialin Mansion are basically controlled by them, except for some city guard camps, and in the troubled times, only soldiers have the right to speak.
And what they have to do now is to use this coat to seize territory as much as possible before they lift the coat of the empire, I have to say, all this is very simple, because they are ordered to go north, and before revealing their identities, all the city defenses are just decorations in front of them.
"Since we are here, we will naturally take the head of King Jialin and take the wealth together!" One person spoke, and the rest of the people naturally echoed it, and those who were unwilling to echo were already dead, and those who were exterminated were exterminated, and the rest were naturally willing to follow.
Count Purple Shirt, Zilongfeng nodded with satisfaction, looked at the Panlong City Gate that was getting closer and closer, and said, "Everyone, it seems that many people have gone out to welcome us into the city, let's go, don't let people wait too long!" Zilongfeng said and urged the golden-horned deer beast under his crotch and went straight to Panlong City.
"Haha, Guo Junshou, City Lord Li, I didn't expect you to go out of the city to greet you in person, this earl is really honored!" Zilongfeng does not have the creamy smell of the nobles' children, on the contrary, Zilongfeng is a little rough on the outside, and his body is also big, it is said that he has a part of the barbarian blood, and when he was young, he was not allowed to be treated by the old earl, but in the end he had the last laugh, this is a rough appearance, but the heart is extremely delicate, and the scheming guy.
"The Count of the Purple Shirt is polite, the reception in the city is ready, just wait for the arrival of all the nobles, and the camp outside the city has also been cleaned up, and the wine and meat for comfort will be sent to the camp later!"
"There are two of you!"
"Lord Earl, viscounts, barons, please!" Guo Junshou smiled and stepped out of the main door and entered side by side with Zilongfeng.
"Stop, wait and go to the barracks to rest, soldiers and horses are forbidden to enter the city!" everything was harmonious, but a voice broke the harmonious atmosphere and alarmed the people who walked into the city gate.
Everyone looked back, but Guo Junshou raised his eyebrows slightly, and said, "Commander Xia, is there any problem?"
"Go back to the county guard, these soldiers and horses will also enter the city, according to the rules, the city is not allowed to station soldiers and horses!" the city captain turned around and said loudly.
Guo Junshou glanced at the tall giant horned deer beast, and also turned his head, looking at Zilong Feng and said: "Lord Earl, will the guards stay outside the city for the time being, although the Nine "Mansion has the Holy Sect anti-army, but my Panlong City is still safe!"
Zilongfeng smiled and said, "I naturally believe in Guo Junshou's words, but I believe in my soldiers more than Guo Junshou、, Zilongfeng said, facing the soldiers and horses in the rear, "Those who stand in the way, there is no mercy!"
As soon as Zilongfeng said this, the good harmonious atmosphere was suddenly swept away, and Guo Junshou said with a little pale face: "Lord Earl, what do you mean by this?"
Zilongfeng, smiled and said: "This city, for the time being, I am in charge, when it is extraordinary, I can only do extraordinary things, Guo Junshou is better to cooperate, otherwise Zi's knife carving will not be so easy to speak!"
"You, you rebelled?" said the Xia Commander in horror as he looked at the Giant Horned Deer Beast that rushed towards him.
"Kill!" Zi Longfeng replied with only one word.
On October 8, the Bian Gui group led by the Count of Purple Shirts took control of Panlong City, seized all yamen, took over the city's arsenal and grain depot, and captured the Panlong City without alarming too many people.
On October 2, the soldiers and horses led by the Purple Shirt Count once again occupied Zhaohua City, the county capital in the middle of the Nine "Mansions, and the soldiers and horses were placed in the south of the Holy Sect Army and the Emperor, and further on, they entered the place where the two sides were fighting.
And on the day when the Count of Purple Shirt arrived in Zhaohua City, on the evening of the next day, a guest was ushered in in the tent of the temporary command camp of the Jialin Two Divisions.
The candlelight beats, the wind curtains, all the soldiers around are deployed outside the camp, the patrols are so dense that even a fly can't fly in, and a black-robed man who walked into the camp tent suddenly stretched out a pair of smooth and jade, green white and slender jade hands, lifted the cloak on his head that covered his entire face, and his hair fell like a waterfall.
"Holy Maiden, it's still so radiant, and the beauty is suffocating!" Zi Longfeng didn't seem to be too surprised when he saw Qin Yao, but joked quite familiarly.
Qin Yao didn't regard himself as an outsider, he sat straight, picked up the tea on the table, and said, "Earl Zi's soldiers are also very appreciative of Qin Yao, if my Holy Sect can have these tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, maybe I won't have to be dragged in the Songling Mansion, and I won't be able to break free from this shackle!"
Zi Longfeng smiled indifferently and said, "Don't talk that nonsense between you and me, I'm just curious, how could the Holy Sect get up in such a hurry, and I didn't say hello to my ally beforehand, this can make me very passive!"
Qin Yao raised her pretty face and looked at Zilong Feng, but her face was a little serious, and said: "This is also time is not waiting for me, time waits for no one, who would have thought that so many changes have happened in such a short period of time, and we have been preparing for so long, everything that should be prepared has been prepared, if you really want to say that something is missing, it is nothing more than a time difference, a little earlier, a little later, it doesn't seem to have much impact!"
"Change, Shu Zi is lonely and unheard, what does the saint mean by the change?"
Qin Yao took a sip of tea, and then said leisurely: "A month ago, I got the exact news that on the Huaishui line in Zhizhou, the new emperor's soldiers and horses launched an attack on the Huaishui line, and fought against the soldiers and horses of Prince Qing for the Huaishui Salt Administration!
"That's it?"
"Of course it's not all, on Li Tang's side, my Holy Sect also sent people to contact, before the defeat of Guangling Mansion, my people entered Li Tang, and according to the information sent back by that person, Li Tang intends to counterattack Chuzhou again!"
Hearing this, Zilong Feng's brows couldn't help frowning, if this is really the case, for example, it can explain why the Holy Sect is in trouble at this time, and it will affect the whole body, the Holy Sect intends to move first, and then lead out itself, and if Li Tang also moves because of this, the situation in Chuzhou may really become fragmented, allowing them to take advantage of the opportunity.
