Chapter 200: The Clouds Move

With the departure of the Tiance Army, the eyes of the entire Jingshi couldn't help but fall on Bai Yuxian and Xiangzhou.

Xiangzhou is not close to Beijing, even if it is a straight line, it is thousands of miles away, and it will take more than a month for ordinary business travelers to travel quickly.

However, under the leadership of Bai Yuxian, the marching speed of the entire Tiance army was extremely fast, traveling nearly two hundred miles a day, and if you marched at this speed, it would not take ten days at most to directly enter the Xiangzhou territory.

And during this period, the entire Jingshi and Xiangzhou were also surging.

"Your Highness, Xiangzhou is here to report."

On the third day after Bai Yuxian's expedition, in the East Palace of the Jingshi, the crown prince Li Heng also got the specific information about Xiangzhou reported by his subordinates from the secret intelligence network.

Especially a lot of information about the Red Green Mountain Bandits.

And after reading the information on the intelligence in his hand, Prince Li Heng couldn't help but show a smile on his face.

"It seems that the chaotic thieves in Xiangzhou Hongqing Mountain are not small, which makes His Highness so happy."

The middle-aged scribe who was following Li Heng couldn't help but smile when he saw this.

"What Mr. said is good, according to the information report, since the defeat of Xiangzhou Assassin Liu Funan, Xiangzhou Red Castle Bandits have a great reputation in the green forests of the world, and they have responded to a hundred calls for a while, attracting countless green forests in the world to take refuge, and now the number of Red Castle Thieves has reached more than 50,000 people, and even this number is still surging, according to the speed of the Red Castle Mountain Thieves, the number is even likely to break through the 100,000 mark, and there are many martial arts powerhouses above Xuangang Martial Dao."

"I see, it seems that this Xiangzhou rebellion is not easy to peace, although the Tiance army has an extraordinary momentum, but the number is only 20,000, and the new Tiance army lacks actual combat experience after all, and the main general Bai Yuxian is also the first time to lead the troops, even if Tao is overcome, it is only on paper after all, just like Zhao Kuo in the past, once the army is frustrated, I am afraid it will be a collapse."

On paper, it is shallow in the end, and you must know that you have to do it.

The gap between a real march and a war on paper is much greater.

The middle-aged scribe also immediately understood why Li Heng was happy.

Although these rivers and lakes are just a rabble, if they really want to march and fight, they will definitely not be comparable to the regular army, but there are a lot of people.

If you really want to make the number of thieves in Hongqing Mountain reach 100,000, it is definitely not an easy thing to pacify, even if it is 50,000 now, it is not easy, not to mention that the Tiance army is only 20,000, and whether it is the main general Bai Yuxian or the army is a new army, it is still such a huge number gap.

Not to mention Bai Yuxian's new army, even if it is a truly battle-hardened elite army of the Tang Dynasty, it may not be easy to pacify Hongqing Mountain with a number of 20,000.

And as long as Bai Yuxian failed to quell the chaos this time, then he could take this opportunity to bring down Bai Yuxian in the court.

Thinking of this, the smile on Li Heng's face couldn't help but become a little stronger.

"From this point of view, His Royal Highness has to thank Liu Funan for his incompetence."

If it weren't for Liu Funan's incompetence that led to the defeat of the imperial army and made the thieves of Hongqing Mountain famous in a battle, it would definitely be impossible to attract so many rivers and lakes to take refuge at once, so it would be much less difficult for Bai Yuxian to quell the chaos.

If Bai Yuxian really loses the rebellion in Xiangzhou this time, then for the crown prince Li Heng, Liu Funan is definitely the number one hero.

Meanwhile.

Xiangzhou.

There was turmoil.

Since the defeat of Liu Funan, the entire Xiangzhou is panicked.

Whether it is up to the powerful or the common people, because the imperial court was defeated, not only did it not pacify Hongqingshan, but it was also defeated, in this case, if Hongqingshan directly made a rebellion, who could protect them.

The most important thing is that since the defeat of Liu Funan, Hongqingshan's reputation in the rivers and lakes and green forests has suddenly become famous, attracting countless people from all over the world to vote, resulting in the increasing power of Hongqingshan.

Under such circumstances, how can the entire Xiangzhou not worry.

Now for the entire Xiangzhou, the only hope is that the imperial court can send troops to quell the chaos as soon as possible.

At this time, among the Liu family in Xiangzhou, there were many wealthy businessmen gathered.

"Brother Liu, I don't know if there is news from the Jingshi, whether the imperial court has sent an army here."

"Yes, Lord Liu, now that Lord Thorn Shi's army has been defeated, the power of Hongqing Mountain will not be destroyed and will flourish, if it is not solved as soon as possible, what should I do, during this time, my Zhou family's caravan will not dare to do business."

"I don't know about this, but the head of the Liu family has already contacted General Tiance."

The many wealthy businessmen and powerful people gathered in the Liu family couldn't help but look at Liu Zongzheng, who was sitting on the main seat, and asked.

In this turmoil in Hongqingshan, if you want to say who is the one who has the most losses and is most worried about, it is undoubtedly these wealthy businessmen and heroes.

Because those people in Hongqingshan are under the banner of robbing the rich and helping the poor, these wealthy businessmen and powerful people are completely the hardest hit areas, and they don't know how much they have been robbed during this time.

And it's still good to be robbed of money, and there are even some wealthy businessmen and powerful people who are close to Hongqing Mountain who not only have their money robbed, but even people have been killed, and some have been directly slaughtered.

Now that the government in Xiangzhou is defeated again, they can't deal with it, and Hongqingshan can't protect them, so how can they not be careful.

Liu Zongzheng was sitting on the main seat, and his expression was also not relaxed.

is also a wealthy merchant in Xiangzhou, others are worried about Hongqingshan, Liu Zongzheng is naturally worried, and during this time, their Liu family's caravan outside has also been robbed by Hongqingshan.

Even Liu Zongzheng is more careful, whether the next Hongqing Mountain will directly take their Liu family as the first target.

Because since Bai Yuxian married Liu Yiren in February half a year ago, Liu Zongzheng returned to Xiangzhou from Beijing and developed a wave of the Liu family in Xiangzhou with Bai Yuxian's fame, making the current Liu family the first wealthy businessman in Xiangzhou today.

In this case, now that Hongqing Mountain is in turmoil, their Liu family is undoubtedly the most dangerous.

After all, the gun shoots the first bird.

And Hongqingshan has always been in the name of robbing the rich and helping the poor.

"Don't be impatient, my Liu family has also sent someone to Jingshi to inquire about this matter, and it is imperative that everyone still need to work together to defend against foreign enemies with the government."

Liu Zongzheng said.

At this moment, a small servant hurriedly ran in from outside with an excited face and reported to Liu Zongzheng.

"The head of the Qiqi family, a letter from the Jingshi, the imperial court has sent a large army to Xiangzhou to quell the chaos, and the commander of the rebellion is my uncle."

Wow.

Liu Zongzheng, who heard this, also stood up happily from the chair at once, and also stood up with Liu Zongsu and Liu Zongqing, who were also present, and they all looked at Liu Zongzheng with happy expressions.

"Big brother."

Liu Zongzheng's face showed excitement and joy that could not be concealed, and then calmed down and said.

"Since the jade immortal came to quell the chaos, the red green mountains are worry-free."

After speaking, he hurriedly commanded the Liu family.

"After the order, the imperial court has sent a large army to quell the chaos, and my Liu family should fully cooperate, and immediately ordered to prepare the grain and grass of the army and investigate the specific information of Hongqing Mountain, and when Yuxian arrives, all preparations will be given to Yuxian."

"Yes."

The entire Liu family also responded happily.

The other wealthy businessmen present also couldn't help but look at Liu Zongzheng with envy.

They could clearly feel that Liu Zongzheng and the Liu family were interested in showing off, but they still couldn't help but be envious.

After all, who doesn't like such a son-in-law.

And so it went on for a few more days.

At this time, at the border of Xiangzhou, a mighty army appeared on the official road that was about to enter Xiangzhou.

It was the Tiance Army.

In the army, Bai Yuxian rode a war horse wearing silver-white Mingguang silver dragon armor, a gentleman's sword at his waist, followed by Feng Changqing, and there was also a team of personal soldiers behind him, led by Bai Qingzhi.

Today's Bai Qingzhi has also successfully entered the martial arts, so after Bai Qingzhi's martial arts became strong, Bai Yuxian also promoted Bai Qingzhi to his side and became his own soldiers and generals.

In addition, among the many Bai clan disciples who entered the Tiance Army at the beginning, there are also Bai Haowu and Bai Ziyu, who have also successfully broken through and stepped into the martial arts, and the two were also promoted by Bai Yuxian to become junior generals in the army.

"General Qiyu, the front is the Xiangzhou boundary, and after the Xiangzhou boundary is Xiangzhou, with the current marching speed of the army, you can reach Xiangzhou City tomorrow afternoon."

Before entering Xiangzhou, a forward army general also quickly came to Bai Yuxian to report.

"Okay, the army will continue to march and strive to reach Xiangzhou City on time tomorrow afternoon."

"Yes."

Xiangzhou City is the city of Xiangzhou, and the Liu family is also there.

Bai Yuxian planned to stop the army for a night after the army arrived in Xiangzhou City, and at the same time, he also happened to ask the Liu family to find out about the specific situation of Hongqing Mountain and the situation in Xiangzhou.

After all, knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent is invincible.

Although Bai Yuxian is confident in himself, he will not carelessly despise the enemy.

The army continued to march, and the speed was almost the entire trot.

That is to say, all of the current Tiance Army have already stepped into the Qi and Blood Realm at the beginning of the martial arts, otherwise if they are ordinary people, even if they are young and strong, they will definitely not be able to withstand such a long and fast march.
