"Father, if this Yue Fei can really defeat the Liangzhou army and dominate Yongzhou, it doesn't hurt for his daughter to marry him. "Hou Shiyong's eighth daughter, Hou Jing, has been loved by thousands since she was a child, and it can be said that there is no one in the entire family who does not love her. And Hou Jing is not only very good-looking, but also has a stunning appearance that captivates the country and the city, and her scheming should not be underestimated. Hou Shiyong also often sighed, but it was a pity that Hou Jing was a daughter, otherwise their Hou Mansion would be able to further develop and grow in her hands. Hou Jing is now eighteen years old, and according to the rules of the Heavenly Dragon Empire, the children of eighteen-year-old nobles can be married. There have been many people who have asked for relatives over the years, including those who are high-ranking officials and nobles, and those who are illustrious, but none of them have made Hou Jing moved.

Hou Shiyong looked at his daughter and thought that this time Hou Jing would refuse without hesitation, but Hou Jing not only did not refuse, but agreed generously. This is Hou Shiyong is very surprised, of course, she also understands Hou Jing's thoughts, now the first thing affected by the imperial turmoil is these dignitaries and nobles, princes and generals, especially the Ma family in the north, although there is no conflict of interests between the Hou Mansion and the Ma family over the years, no one dares to guarantee that the Ma family will let go of these princes and nobles entrenched in Yongzhou.

"Father, I have also heard some rumors about this Yue Fei, as far as I know, there are less than 30,000 combatable soldiers in Yongzhou, and Yue Fei was able to rely on these 30,000 people to beat Niu Fu's 200,000 Liangzhou army and escape, trapping the stronger Tong Weiyong in the north, I have to say that he is the first person in history to impress his daughter. Hou Jing's every movement is full of noble and elegant momentum, especially when the corners of her mouth are slightly provocative, and she can win the hearts of all men in the world.

Hou Shiyong breathed a sigh of relief, and he was also thinking about the gains and losses of this matter. Yue Fei's proposal can be said to make him unprepared. After Yue Fei left, he also carefully considered the gains and losses of the interests of the entire family. Nowadays, the form of empire is becoming more and more complex. Emperor Zhang let the Son of Heaven coerce the princes and the eight emperors and merchants into a single force, and the strength is very strong, and the assassins and generals in various places are also ready to move. Those religious organizations that were classified as cults by the empire also went from the shadows to the sun under Zhang Rang's paperwork, especially the square corners of the Sun and Moon God Cult made more and more noise, and now there is a faint tendency to become the head of the world's religions. Liu Fan, a member of the royal family, is also holding high the banner of saving the young emperor, raising troops and serving the king, but the strength of the various armies is not strong, in general, the current Liu Fan Shili is still in the defensive stage.

Hou Shiyong is very clear. If the empire is really chaotic and the dynasty changes, the first to bear the brunt of it are these princes and nobles. If they want to keep their existing interests, then taking refuge in a powerful shili has become their only choice, not to mention that they still have the legacy left by the first emperor back then. If Hou Shiyong was still hesitant when he was guarding Yongzhou in Yuwen Chengdu, then when Yue Fei appeared in Yongzhou, he completely dispelled his doubts. Now this place in Yongzhou is a cake, and all shili are holding up the knives and forks in their hands to prepare for a grand cake, but it is still unknown who can finally get this cake, after all, among the several shili, only Liu Fan's shili is the weakest.

"Father, isn't this Yue Fei going to give us a big bride price? In this case, we might as well wait for his gift to give him an answer after the marriage comes. Hou Jing looked at her father, she didn't know her family's mission. The issues she considered were all based on the interests of the family, and the bride price that Yue Fei wanted to give also made Hou Jing feel a little moved. She naturally knew the strength of the family. Yue Fei offered to help solve it, which not only solved the family's dilemma, but also proved Yue Fei's strength, it seems that this Yue Fei's head is not ordinary shrewd.

The Marquis of Pingjiang quickly brought back the two marquis, the Marquis of Zhenning and the Marquis of Shenjian, and the three of them quickly discussed the decision. With 30,000 troops and tens of thousands of recruits, what kind of miracle can be created in Yue Fei's hands, the three of them are also very much looking forward to it. Yue Fei's information can be said to have shocked the three of them, the three of them had long known that this secret would be exposed sooner or later, but they didn't expect it to be exposed so quickly, and Zhang Rang didn't seem to let them go, the strength of the people sent this time was obviously not something they could handle. Of course, the three families did not pin all their hopes on Yue Fei, the three families were still nervously deploying the family's shili, for them, this mission was the whole of their family, and the oath made by the ancestors to the first emperor must not be broken.

Yongzhou has never attracted the attention of the empire, and the most remote state capital of the empire has become the hottest state capital of the empire for a while. All parties aimed at the smallest state capital of the empire, and the first wrestling between Yue Fei and Zhang Rang and the Eight Great Imperial Merchants finally unfolded on the land of Yongzhou. Yue Fei also wants to use this collision to prove his strength and win more support, for this enclave, the foundation of the south obviously can't provide him with more support, everything has to rely on himself. And the Shili that Yue Fei of the land of Yongzhou can win are only those princes and nobles who live in the land of Yongzhou.

Bandits and horse bandits are a very promising profession, and I have to say that the future of this profession is still very limitless, at least Shen Ke thinks so. Shen Ke was originally just an ordinary lieutenant of the Liangzhou Army, and when the Liangzhou Army fought with the Lion Empire at Yanmen Pass, the Liangzhou Army was wiped out because of the betrayal of the traitor. Of course, the so-called annihilation of the whole army was the reason why Dong Zhuo left the whole army and fled alone. In the war, Shen Ke and his subordinates finally broke out of the encirclement, and after breaking out of the encirclement, he wanted to return to the Liangzhou army, but unfortunately his subordinates persuaded Shen Ke with a word. Dong Zhuo can abandon them once, he can abandon them a second time, rather than being thrown away by Dong Zhuo again, it is better to occupy the land as the king, and eat meat and drink wine in a big bowl.

Shen Ke thought that the situation was also like this, so he took his brothers under his command to occupy the mountains as kings in the Qin Mountains, and lived in the mountains and forests as if he were an explosive landlord. Shen Ke is still very ideal, still very goalful, after occupying a hill in the forest, he decisively sent troops to exterminate several shili in the nearby hills, and his strength has developed rapidly. The collapse of an empire necessarily begins with the land. The annexation of land has been the most serious problem since the beginning of recorded history. There is no shortage of such problems in the land of Yongzhou. After Shen Ke occupied the forest, life began to be unhappy. Every day I worry about food.

Shen Ke thought that he couldn't go on like this, and now he naturally became a prince. It is not okay to worry about food like this every day, who has the most money and food in the empire now? Needless to say, it must be those landlords and tyrants who are entrenched in the land of Yongzhou, and the decisive Shen Ke led his troops down the mountain to attack. After a few tragic incidents cleanly, I decisively collected enough grain and grass, and with grain and grass, there were people, and with people, shili developed and grown. So in just two years, Shen Ke seemed to have become the biggest horse thief in the neighborhood, and he also had 20,000 or 30,000 people under his command. I have to say that this Shen Ke is also a talent. Since Shen Ke tasted the sweetness of robbing the landlords and tyrants, he has been out of control, constantly leading troops to attack and sweep up. The smartest thing about Shen Ke compared to other bandits and horse bandits is that he understands the truth of fishing with all his might, so he does not create a tragedy to destroy the door, but constantly creates meat ticket incidents, raising ordinary landlords to provide grain and grass for himself.

Shen Ke looked at the tens of thousands of horses under his command with some pride, and the mighty team did give Shen Ke an indescribable pride. Shen Ke rode a war horse and walked at the front of the team, thinking about the gains and losses of various interests in his heart. If it weren't for the need, Shen Ke would still be very reluctant to touch those princes and nobles, after all, they were more difficult to mess with than those landlords and tyrants. It's not easy to mess with, and it doesn't just mean that they have their own escort army. It is also because these people have a certain connection with the government, and if you kill a landlord and tyrant, maybe the government will not mobilize an army to exterminate them. But killing a prince will inevitably trigger a backlash from the local garrison. So to a certain extent, the government and these bandits and bandits also have a tacit understanding, and if you don't move the prince, I won't find trouble for myself.

However, this situation changed when Zhang Rang's envoy found Shen Ke, and the holy decree was very simple. As long as Shen Ke clicked the entire army of the three major princes on the land of Yongzhou, the newly formed guards army in the imperial capital still lacked the position of a corps commander, of course, the title of Marquis of Qinshan was still vacant, and I didn't know if anyone could get this title. Although Shen Ke is smart, that title really moved Shen Ke's heart. Having the title of the empire means entering the upper echelons of the empire. Although the empire is in chaos now, and this title is not worth much, it still makes Shen Ke's heart moved, and without hesitation, Shen Ke sent someone down the mountain to find out the information. Soon the information about the three princes was sent to Shen Ke's hands, and after reading the information, Shen Ke slaughtered the three major princes with all his army, which was not the Hou Mansion, it was a naked title.

Of course, he didn't know that his army of tens of thousands was just a dish in the eyes of others, not even a dish. When tens of thousands of people came out of the Qinshan system, Ma Chao and Nian Qianyao were still holding Tong Zhonghu and Zhu Yao and Tong Weiyong playing hide and seek, and hundreds of scouts could often be seen on the prairie only a hundred steps away from each other checking the entire grassland. When such an army came out, it naturally made Tong Weiyong very nervous, and soon the order from above was issued to Tong Weiyong's hands, and the armies of both sides passed by. When one thief meets another, the two sides almost didn't shake hands and talk about their feelings, and everything else they could did was done. Of course, Tong Weiyong still didn't look down on Shen Ke's mission very much, just because he knew that it was impossible for Yue Fei, who was sitting in Yongzhou City, to give up such a force and not take advantage of it.

Yue Fei returned to the barracks, and after handing over the military affairs to Meng Gong, he drove out of the barracks with 5,000 soldiers and horses, and led a group of generals under his command, Zhao Yun and others, to quickly meet Shen Ke. Of course, Yue Fei's trip is not just as simple as destroying Shen Ke, he also needs to negotiate with Tong Weiyong, now all kinds of materials in Yongzhou City are still very scarce, a landlord in the north is waiting to be slaughtered by himself, and the strength of the army under his command can also be qualitatively improved after slaughtering this meal, and Jihua who unifies Yongzhou should be put on the agenda. The Liangzhou army is only a temporary retreat, if he does not take the entire Liangzhou, Dong Zhuo is absolutely not at ease to take all his troops south, Liangzhou is his foundation, Liangzhou is lost, and he Dong Zhuo will be finished. Between Yue Fei and Dong Zhuo, a bloody battle is inevitable.

Five thousand infantry, this is all the troops that Yue Fei used to deal with Shen Ke, in Yue Fei's opinion, this is already more to see Shen Ke. After all, in addition to the 3,000 veterans of the Liangzhou Army who originally followed him, Shen Ke's subordinates had combat effectiveness of nearly 10,000 bandits who had been recruited by several cottages near him, and the rest were ordinary people who had been coerced. These people even kept recruiting under Yue Fei. I have to say that Yue Fei's calculations are very powerful. In addition to beating the Liangzhou army into a disgraced face. He also sent Guan Yu and Zhang Fei to cut off a warehouse of the Liangzhou Army and robbed 10,000 sets of armor and weapons for heavy infantry, this time Yue Fei brought 5,000 recruits, these bandits used to train recruits are the best training objects, Yue Fei will definitely not let go of such an opportunity to train his subordinates.

"General, there is a column of 5,000 men and horses in front of us blocking our way forward, under the banner of Yue Fei, the governor of Yongzhou. After marching for dozens of days, it seemed that he was about to reach the place where the three major marquis mansions were located, and the scouts who inquired about the military situation in front brought Shen Ke a piece of news that made Shen Ke quite unhappy.

"Five thousand, are you looking for death?" a sneer hung on the corner of Shen Ke's mouth. If there is a name in this land of Yongzhou, it is Yuwen Chengdu, and only Yuwen Chengdu can make Shen Ke think about it, and others are not worried. Hearing the report of the scouts under his subordinates, Shen Ke couldn't help but smile on his face, he liked such a guy who came to die without his own strength, Shen Ke waved his hand, and an officer immediately dared to come up from behind.

"I'll give you 10,000 men to wipe out the 5,000 people in front of me, and I will take your first credit for this battle. Shen Ke looked at the officer with a smile and said, the officer's face changed slightly. Shen Ke keenly saw the change in the officer's face. Smiled and patted the officer's shoulder, his face sank, and he said in a stern tone: "Don't worry." There are only 30,000 soldiers in the place that can fight, in addition to the army that confronts the Northern Tong Army, there are also enough troops left to guard against the Liangzhou Army, the army they can draw is very limited, when will you fall to the point where you can't even beat a group of recruits. ”

"The last will be damned, and the last will go and destroy those people. The officer's face returned to normal a little, and he immediately replied to Shen Ke, turned around and greeted 10,000 people, and then broke away from the brigade and killed Yue Fei's 5,000 people, Shen Ke led a large army to follow up slowly, ready to march at any time, he didn't think that he would fail at all.

The sound of killing shook the sky, the war drums thundered, and the sound of fighting in the sky soon came into Shen Ke's ears, and these hansa screams were as melodious as fairy music in the world, and Shen Ke couldn't help but close his ears and listen carefully. Shouting to kill the god gradually calmed down, Shen Ke opened his eyes and looked at the scene in front of him incredulously. The remaining number of his 10,000 troops was less than 3,000, and at this moment it was like a duck that had been kept in captivity for a long time suddenly being put into a pond, and the pond was full of chaos. And the five thousand people in their rear were still neatly advanced, but the spears in their hands were constantly dripping with blood, and the red spears made Shen Ke's heart cold.

"Mountain, mountain, mountain!" The murderous team raised the spear in their hands and slowly advanced, and the murderous aura that rushed to the sky suddenly made the temperature around it quickly drop to the lowest point. The phalanx shouted in unison every step forward, which not only boosted morale, but also inspired the killing spirit in the hearts of the soldiers.

"Can anyone tell me what the hell is going on?" Shen Ke shouted loudly at his own defeated army, the 10,000 troops he sent were unexpectedly beaten by people, and it seemed that this did not cause any losses to the opposing army. Shen Ke tried hard to find the officer he sent out, but the entire battlefield was a rout, where could he still find the shadow of that officer, it was obvious that the other party had either escaped without a shadow, or had been killed, no matter what kind of Shen Ke was now very angry and angry that 10,000 people were beaten by the other party's 5,000 recruits.

The formation stopped when it was five hundred paces away from the enemy, Yue Fei and several generals under his command slowly walked to the front of the phalanx, and officers at all levels immediately ordered their subordinates to reline. Shen Ke looked at the five thousand soldiers in front of him with a dark face, his face was very ugly, and the self-confidence he had just built up was nakedly ignored by the other party, removing the 10,000 people and nearly 50,000 people himself, and only bringing 3,000 people to find death, is this looking down on himself?

Shen Ke now wanted to run over and slap Yue Fei a few times, and then grabbed Yue Fei's neck and asked him that he was so arrogant that he rushed to challenge his army with only five thousand people. Obviously, Shen Ke didn't have such an opportunity, and the spear in the hand of Zhao Yun, who was following Yue Fei, was raised high, and the head on it he knew was the officer he had sent out. At this time, even if Shen Ke was arrogant, he knew that he had encountered a tough hand this time, and immediately dispelled the urge to rush up and fight alone.

"Yongzhou Governor Yue Fei has an order, the traitor Shen Ke immediately threw down his weapon and surrendered to avoid death, otherwise he will be killed!" A herald came to the front of the battle with the banner of Pegasus, and shouted loudly, a sentence suddenly made Shen Ke's face become very ugly, what is this, naked contempt for me?
