Regardless of whether the rebellion of the Five Poisons Sect was fast or not, there was one thing that Lu Yuan was sure of.

That is, this demon cult must not be allowed to succeed.

Otherwise, with his grievances with the Five Poisons Sect, when the other party really becomes the climate, he will definitely not let himself go.

That's right.

Naturally, when the other party is just showing signs, he will press people down fiercely.

Rebellion, huh?

Innate, right?

"I want to see what kind of storm your Five Poisons Sect can stir up in Shaoyang Mansion with me!" ’

After recovering from the shock at the beginning, at this moment, Lu Yuan also instantly realized that the opportunity he had been waiting for had finally come.

The rebellion set off by the Five Poisons Sect is bound to sweep through the entire Dongting County.

And in this chaos, with tens of thousands of soldiers in his hands, he is first-class, and he has the entire court at his back, and he finally has the opportunity to show his strengths.

The advanced exercises and divine blood xenomorphs that I had been looking forward to may now have a chance.

As for directly confronting the Five Poisons Sect like this, will there be any danger?

Lu Yuan felt that at the first-class level and below, with his current strength of refining the three strange scriptures, and with the protection of a large army, it was enough to ensure safety.

"As for what to do with the congenital? Let's not talk about the grandmaster of the Five Poisons Sect, after assassinating the Marquis of Wuyang, did he have the strength to make a move.

Let's just say that such a change has happened in Dongting County, and the imperial court will definitely not sit idly by.

Maybe that Wu'an Hou Bai Mengyang will come to Dongting County urgently in a short time and take control of the overall situation.

This Hou Ye heard that he was a master of the innate second realm, and his strength was not comparable to the innate nature of the first realm of Wuyang Hou.

With Wu Anhou here, the Five Poisons Sect will not be able to turn over the storm. ”

Lu Yuan speculated in his heart, and the whole person was a lot more relieved.

The Five Poisons Sect had never heard of any innate grandmasters before, and the one that suddenly appeared at this time was most likely a recent breakthrough.

And the emperor of Shu, Li Xiong, was a congenital who just broke through last year.

Two freshmen congenitally assassinated an old congenital, even if they succeeded, but if they didn't have to pay any price, they didn't believe it if they killed Lu Yuan.

This is also confirmed by the facts.

According to the news from the county government, on the night of the assassination, in addition to the death of Marquis Wuyang, a large number of innocent people were affected.

Those assassins also left behind four corpses, two each of the Shu Kingdom and the Five Poisons Sect, all of whom were first-class realm masters.

A first-class master is not a cabbage.

There were only four members of the Five Poisons Sect in the past, and now there may only be one left, because the other has become an innate person.

At this time, the loss of two first-class people was a heavy blow to the Five Poison Sect.

"So before Wuyang Hou died, under the desperate counterattack, those assassins were not comfortable.

In addition to the corpses of the four first-class masters left behind, it is estimated that most of those who survived, including the two congenital assassins, were also injured.

Otherwise, if those two innate grandmasters were intact, why bother to kill them that night, and immediately escape from the two grandmasters together, plus the assistance of others, the deterrence was no less than tens of thousands of male soldiers.

They could take the opportunity to continue to assassinate the county guard and other officials in the county town, completely paralyzing the central heart of the imperial court in Dongting County.

But they didn't.

This can never be soft-hearted, so there is only one conclusion left.

They were in a very poor state, and they were afraid that if they stayed and were counterattacked by the imperial forces, they would continue to fall into the dead, so they had to retreat. ”

As a steady immortal, Lu Yuan applied his own thinking to those assassins, and naturally could infer some of the other party's thoughts.

And after speculation, it is naturally a great joy.

The high-level combat power of the Five Poisons Sect has been hit hard, and it needs to recuperate in the short term, so it will not be able to do anything.

And the Marquis of Wuyang of the county government also died, and at the same time, a first-class master of the government in the city of Fucheng died.

The two strongest innate grandmasters in Dongting County withdrew one after another. Some other first-class grandmasters were also seriously damaged.

In addition to the Marquis of Wuyang and the Five Poisons Sect, some of the other first-class forces in Dongting County have very average inheritances, and the supreme heart method in the sect can only be cultivated to the level of one or two articles of the Wonder Sutra.

After all, this county belongs to the pioneering county of Dayue, which has been cultivated for hundreds of years, and has not been very rich.

The sects here have also been established for a short time, and the inheritance has only been hundreds of years. It is not as good as other sects in the homeland of the Yue people, which have been inherited for thousands of years.

With Lu Yuan's strength after cultivating to the fourth Wonder Sutra now, and his internal strength has also been purified and refined by the mysterious jade piece, even if there is no corresponding first-class move, it is enough to suppress the ordinary first-class in those counties.

"If you calculate it like this, if you divide it by two, doesn't that mean that I will become the strongest master in Dongting County?" Lu Yuan was a little incredulous.

He never expected that he would become the first in Dongting County in such a way.

"Steady, still steady. My first is just a void, belonging to the mountains without tigers, and the monkey is the overlord. You can't really think that you are the first, you should be low-key or low-key. Lu Yuan secretly warned in his heart, but he couldn't hide that joy.

That's what I say, but how to say it, it's also the first.

He doesn't value the things in the name very much. But now the benefits that this temporary first can bring are valued.

The simplest point.

With Lu Yuan's current strength, plus the thousand elite soldiers he has in his hands, even counting the tens of thousands of villagers.

With this kind of strength, as long as he wanted to, then except for the Five Poisons Sect in Dongting, no Jianghu sect could resist.

"As I thought before, if Li Xiong came directly to the county, there are actually conditions that can be implemented at this time.

However, besieging the Jianghu sect for no reason still has no reputation, and it is easy to attract hostility from others, leaving hidden dangers.

Maybe we have to wait a little longer to see which Jianghu sect will not be able to sit still and stand up and rebel with the Five Poisons Sect.

At that time, you can rely on the imperial court and directly act in the name of righteousness to quell the rebellion. At that time, there will be no merit, and it will also take the opportunity to take advantage of the rebels.

Wouldn't it be beautiful to kill two birds with one stone? ”

Lu Yuan doesn't think that those Jianghu sects are all honest goods.

In these troubled times, there is no shortage of ambitious elements.

Even a steady person like him, after seeing Li Xiong's success, almost had the idea of imitation.

Other short-lived species with a lifespan of only 100 years, let alone in the case of limited life.

It is estimated that it will not be long before the decline of the imperial court is seen, and the local prefectures and counties will be in flames of war, and there will be a rebellion.

At that time, these anti-thieves will be the nourishment and stepping stones that Lu Yuan will draw on the road to advancing to the innate level.

……

Now that he had a rough inference about the situation, Lu Yuan naturally carried it out according to his own plan.

If you want to suppress those who are about to appear against the thieves, you must have enough power.

And there are two kinds of power.

One is the power of oneself and the other is the power of the collective.

With his own strength, Lu Yuan was almost at the limit, and he couldn't improve much before the next step.

But the power of the collective, there is too much to manipulate here.

Although according to the system, a place can only raise 1,000 soldiers. The local government cannot surpass it, otherwise it will support the army and be self-respecting and have a strong antipathy.

Lu Yuan now plans to use the tiger banner of Dayue, and the strength of the imperial court is actually quite strong now, so naturally he doesn't want to make mistakes in this kind of principled matter and attract the opposition of the imperial court.

So let him expand the army, which naturally he would not dare.

However, the limit of 1,000 soldiers and horses is only the establishment of government soldiers, and does not include county soldiers at a lower level.

Shaoyang Prefecture has ten counties, each of which has a county military establishment of 100 people.

Whether it is a county soldier or a government soldier, they essentially belong to the regular army and are paid by the imperial court. It is not the same thing at all with those temporarily recruited villagers.

Therefore, after consulting Cui Changqing and obtaining the consent of the prefect, Lu Yuan waved his pen and ordered all the local counties and all county soldiers to immediately gather in the capital and prepare to participate in the rescue of Xinhua County.

Just wait for the arrival of these local county soldiers, then counting the 1,000 government soldiers in his hands, he can gather 1,900 elite divisions.

At that time, I will pick some martial arts from the township and make up an army of 5,000, which is not a problem at all.

With this army, and Lu Yuan, a first-class master, in charge, even if the innate master comes, it may not be impossible to fight the other party.

It is precisely because of this strong strength that he dares to go out of place in this turbulent time.

The order was delivered.

Because when the order was issued, the prefecture also sent officials from the government as a supervisor, so the efficiency of the local county governments was suddenly extremely high.

For the dispatch of county soldiers, as well as the orders of the elite villagers in the county, they were executed quite quickly.

However, in five days, except for Xinhua County, which was being besieged, the county soldiers and villagers from the other nine counties had gathered in Fucheng.

However, after these people arrived, Lu Yuan found that there should have been a hundred county soldiers in the nine counties, but few of them were fully filled.

A slightly better county, like the Wugang County where he once served, could have so many seventy or eighty capable county soldiers. As for some other sparsely armed county seats, there are only twenty or thirty county soldiers with a little bravery.

After such a little inspection, there should have been 900 county soldiers, but in the end there were only 500.

And among these 500 people, there are even more than 200 people who are unqualified, and their martial arts are not even comparable to those temporarily recruited Xiangyong.

Seeing this, Lu Yuan was naturally furious.

He used these soldiers and horses as his shields. It means that when you encounter danger, you can rely on people to block and kill those enemies.

Now that there is a flaw in the shield, there may be hidden dangers in the means of saving life, so naturally he is extremely angry.

The commander was furious, which naturally shook the entire army.

Lu Yuan directly ordered that all those unqualified county soldiers be dismissed and dismissed.

These soldiers who know how to oppress the people on weekdays, and when they fight for their lives, they will retreat ten miles from the wind, and it is useless to stay, it will only harm the army.

After going to the black sheep.

He also ordered that elite and qualified warriors should be selected from among the recruited local warriors and added to the county soldiers.

Not to mention, this work is progressing quite smoothly.

Those who can be selected are brave people who have practiced martial arts. There are even a lot of mountain hunters in it, all of whom have seen fights.

Therefore, it is not very difficult to select the elite from among these people.

After selecting more than 600 people piecemeal, there were enough county soldiers of 900 people.

Later, Lu Yuan thought about it, and felt that most of Xinhua County couldn't wait for his own rescue, and it was about to end. So I simply took the cash preparation and recruited another hundred people.

So after the replenishment, the government soldiers and county soldiers had 2,000 people. Later, 3,000 strong villagers were selected, and Lu Yuan had an army of 5,000.

The army was assembled, but he did not immediately give the order to go out.

Not to mention that among the county soldiers, a large number of recruits have been replenished, and the quality is uneven, and there is an urgent need for training to make these recruits familiar with the battle formation. Let's just say that the three thousand Xiangyong are all messy, and they can't even stand in a queue.

Among the 5,000 troops, the 1,000 soldiers under Lu Yuan's original direct command could barely see it because they had been practicing for nearly half a year.

Isn't it just to send an army like this to fight with people when it is pulled out to fight?

Of course, those who rebel everywhere now are also those Miao people.

These Miao people were originally just ordinary civilians, although they were a little brave, but in terms of the quality of the soldiers, they were basically equivalent to the three thousand villagers picked out by Lu Yuan, and they should not be much better.

He took 5,000 soldiers and horses to rescue Xinhua County, and the success rate of breaking the siege was still very large.

"But anyway, it's all the imperial court and county, why am I in such a hurry to save it?"

On this day, after finishing the recruit training, Lu Yuan once again sent away the messenger from Governor Cui urging the troops, thinking like this in his heart.

Although he has already made up his mind, he wants to fish in troubled waters and reap the benefits in this rebellion of the Five Poison Sect.

But how steady is Lu Yuan?

The previous speculation was just speculation.

Before seeing the changes in the situation with his own eyes, it is impossible for him to send troops to quell the rebellion and be the first bird.

So Xinhua County wants to be saved, but not now.

At the very least, he had to wait for Bai Mengyang, the Marquis of Wu'an, to arrive in Dongting County and take over the overall situation in the county before he could move his troops.

At that time, it will be clear what the situation in the county will be, whether the court will win or not, and whether the rebellion will be big or small.

At that time, as the head of the army with 5,000 troops, Lu Yuan can choose his own direction according to the changes in the situation.

Attacking and retreating is the way to use troops.

What?

What if Xinhua County didn't survive by that time and was captured by those rebels?

If you conquer it, you will conquer it!

Anyway, the territory is not Lu Yuan's, it is the imperial court's. It's gone, it's gone, and it doesn't matter to him at all.

Maybe Xinhua County has been breached, and it can further stimulate the county government, so that they can release restrictions for themselves and allow the expansion of the army?

Since he came to this world and became a general, he didn't play with his hands to raise his own self-respect, Lu Yuan always felt that he couldn't stand the position he had worked so hard to climb to.

And Lu Yuan's reason for not sending troops is also very reasonable.

The local armament was sparse, the government soldiers were newly built, and the county soldiers were even more unbearable, so most of them were abolished. The rest are the militia of the villagers.

It's such a mess, who do you let come, you can't prepare armaments before you dare to take it to the battlefield.

Otherwise, if the rebellion is defeated, the 5,000 army will be lost.

It was not the small county town of Xinhua that was besieged at that time, but it was directly besieged by the rebels in Shaoyang Mansion.

You must know that the Miao rebels who are now surrounding Xinhua County are claimed to be tens of thousands of people.

Five thousand to ten thousand, twice the difference. Facing the Miao people, who are famous for their bravery, who dares to gamble with the survival of their own army?

As long as you dare to say a word and take on this responsibility, then Lu Yuan will dare to send troops immediately without saying a word.

And reality, naturally, is not.

Even Cui Changqing, the prefect, did not dare to say that he was responsible at the moment. It's not that he's afraid of guilt, it's mainly that he is worried that if he loses this battle, he will really implicate Fucheng.

However, his death was small, and he lost the city, which was a great sin.

So whoever comes, Lu Yuan will carry this reason out and gag the other party's mouth.

In fact, the results are pretty good.

At the very least, although Governor Cui was in a hurry, he also knew the severity and did not dare to directly force him to send troops.

Obviously, it is also clear that the counterinsurgency army, which has just been formed, is indeed not very capable of fighting.

And taking this opportunity, Lu Yuan was also training while watching the wind direction outside.

……

Originally, for the princes of the Dayue court, the four years of Hongdao should have been a good year.

Because at the end of last year, Jinghai Kingdom was destroyed and pacified.

The three bottomless pits that originally devoured the money and grain of the imperial court were suddenly filled up. As a result, the financial situation of the imperial court this year has greatly improved.

However, this good mood did not last long.

Because immediately following the fourth year of Hongdao, on February 23, news came from Dongting County that Li Liang, the Marquis of Wuyang, who had been suppressing the county, was assassinated by Li Xiong, the puppet emperor of Shu, and the Five Poisons Sect.

The rebel of the Five Poisons Sect was born without knowing when.

Then, before the imperial court could digest it, the Marquis of Wuyang was stabbed to death in this thunderbolt, and on February 25, there was news from Dongting County.

In the land of the ten prefectures in the county, within two days of the assassination of the Marquis of Wuyang, there was a place to pray for blessings, setting off a huge Miao rebellion.

According to the news from the local prefectures and counties, there are as few as 350,000 rebellious Miao people in their territory and as many as 100,000 people, and the total number of rebellious Miao people in the entire territory is as high as 560,000.

Naturally, the princes of the court did not believe in this number.

The Miao people in the entire Dongting County, counting men, women, and children, are only a million or a million, how can there be five or six hundred thousand rebels?

Could it be that they even dragged women into battle?

This is also an exaggeration.

No matter how brave the Miao people are, they will not be so brave that women will go into battle to fight.

It has always been the custom of officialdom for local officials to exaggerate the number of thieves in order to cover up their own mistakes, and all the princes of the court have risen from below.

But even if there are no 500,000 or 600,000, if you fold it in half and fold it in half, there are 120,000 Miao rebels.

And this is enough to make the princes frightened.

Even if these are chaotic people, not a well-trained army, but with the brave habits of the Miao people, one or two hundred thousand rebels is an extremely terrible number.
