Chapter 213 South War 1
On the third day, what surprised Zhao Xun and Huo Linjun was that the North Navy outside the city did not attack the city. Although Zhao Xun didn't know why, he was still very happy. After all, he came to delay time. The longer the time delayed, the more beneficial the situation would be to him.
Zhao Xun did not dare to be careless when the Northern Navy did not attack the city. While strictly guarding, he began to use the baggage camp and the people in the city to assist in repairing the city walls, and also stepped up training soldiers. In order to solve the livelihood of some refugees, repairing the city walls would get free food and wages. For a while, Zhao Xun's reputation also increased greatly in Baixian County, which was something Zhao Xun did not expect. [The latest updates are all in search.

When Zhao Xun was guarding the city and repairing the city walls, the army of the South also launched an operation against Yingzhou Prefecture. The four leaders of the army all knew the situation in the north, so they all went on a starry night and turned into a marching army and headed straight to the destination. At the same time, the Shadow Guard, Blood Shadow Guard and the servants of Yingzhou Prefecture also took action.
Haizhe, the garrison of Majiazhuang in southwest of Le'an County. Since he rushed to Majiazhuang to guard the war horses with the five hundred mages and a thousand servants, he has been feeling uneasy. At first, there were knights everywhere outside the village, harassing all over the world, and doing nothing else. He just attacked his horse-snooping rangers, interrupting his contact with the outside world.
Although Majiazhuang has the name "莉容", it is not a manor for someone, but a big town. It is said that this place was a fief of a great hero in the previous dynasty, and his tribes and tenants lived here. Later, a large town was established here, and the name was called Majiazhuang. Majiazhuang was very special. The northwest and west were surrounded by mountains. Logically speaking, this place is not suitable for building large towns, but there are many residents here, with nearly 10,000 people. Therefore, the land is close to the mountains and suitable for hunting. There are many wild animals in the mountains, so that some hunters with no land or few land can get their living needs. In addition, another very important reason is that this place is suitable for free stock. In Youzhou, especially in the north of Youzhou, almost most people have livestock, even horses and other livestock.
The dynasty changed, things changed, and the Ma surname of the previous dynasty had long declined. Now Majiazhuang has become an ordinary and prosperous town. After the attack of the Marine Army invaded Yingzhou Prefecture, the lives of the people of Yingzhou Prefecture had long lost the tranquility of the past. Although the oppression and exploitation of the conservative bureaucratic landlords in the past were at least able to live a stable life. However, since the arrival of the Marine Army, this stable life has never returned. Killing, setting fires, stealing wealth, and doing everything evil, many girls were insulted. For this reason, many people in Yingzhou Prefecture now hide their daughters at home and dare not go out.
In order to release the horses, the people of Majiazhuang built a military camp and horse farm west of the town, near the mountains. Five hundred Marines and seven hundred servants were often stationed here. Similarly, Majiazhuang also stationed five hundred Marines and seven hundred servants. They echoed each other and guarded the war horses here.
It has been almost ten days since Haizhe was transferred here, and he has not been able to have a positive contact with Le'an County. Haizhe is very worried about this. Majiazhuang is only seventy or eighty miles away from Le'an County. Of course, according to the road, it will be doubled. Because the Majiazhuang road on Le'an County Road is winding and circling, it requires bypassing several large bends. However, no matter how far it is, it is enough to be unable to communicate for several days, which is enough to make people worry.
Majiazhuang, the Marine Army camp, and the Central Army tent.
"General, we learned from the people of Yan State that something must have happened in Le'an County." A centurion who was investigating the news said anxiously.
Another centurion also said: "General, according to the detailed investigation of his subordinates, there seems to be something wrong with the servants. Recently, they have been in close contacts, and I am afraid..."
Haizawa, who was sitting on the master's seat, was really upset at this moment and said, "Are you afraid that the servants will rebel? What do they do? Will Yan forgive them? According to the rules of Yan State, even if they rebel now, they will be a loser and have nowhere to live. At that time, Yan State and us are their enemies. Wouldn't they seek death if they do this?"
"Strengthen the defense and don't be careless. As for what happened to Le'an County fall, it has nothing to do with us now. We just need to protect these thousands of war horses and General Lei Yan's war horses. Even if there is any accident in Le'an County, General Lei Yan will find out. At that time, I will not be able to attack from north to south, and I will not be able to deal with a small Le'an County." Thousands of people asked Haizawa to retreat impatiently.
After the two subordinates left, Haizhe also sighed in distress. It was true that he didn't know the situation in Le'an County. It was impossible to say that he didn't know that there was a change in Le'an County. He had also thought about returning to Le'an County to find out what happened in Le'an County, but after thinking for a long time, he decided to hold his troops still.
According to Haizhe's speculation, the war horses that flew outside Le'an County and plundered Xinyan Town were all done by Yingzhou Prefecture Army. Although the Marine Army occupied Yingzhou Prefecture for several months, there were still remnants of Yingzhou Prefecture Army, and many people from Yan State joined and opposed the Marine Army everywhere. The Marine Army sent troops to encircle and suppress the wars, but the results were not very ideal. There were even countless people providing them with supplies and intelligence. The Marine Army was also deeply helpless in this regard.
Haizhe himself believed that it was nothing more than the remnants of these government troops who were causing trouble again. His task was to guard thousands of war horses, and the war horses were saved. His job was to be without merit. But if he had withdrawn from Le'an County and lost these 4,000 war horses, he would have been bigger. Especially for more than a dozen BMWs, he would never be lost, otherwise he would be completely ruined by himself. General Lei Yan is not an ordinary person. Lei Yan originally did not need to stay in the camp on the south side of Yanshan Fort, but he did not want to participate in the arguments of the big figures in Yingzhou City whether to move the property and manpower of Yingzhou Prefecture back to the tribe, so he came to Yanshan Fort to resist the north. If he lost his BMW, he would be finished.
Even Haizhe thought that if Le'an County was captured and several of his colleagues and superiors were killed, could he take it? Thinking of this, Haizhe's heartbeat. Although he suppressed his thoughts in time, this thought would be out of control as soon as this thought appeared. So he didn't want to talk much about his subordinates' situation about Le'an County. He thought secretly many times that Le'an County was captured by the remaining troops of Yingzhou Prefecture, and his colleagues and superiors were killed. Then, he attacked from north to south and recovered Le'an County again, and he would replace it and become a leader.
However, things were already beyond Haizhe's expectations. Some of his ideas had been realized, but some of them could never be realized. In the first half of the four realizations, Le'an County was broken, and several colleagues and superiors were killed. What could not be realized was that Lei Yan in the north could never be supported, nor could he be supported. At the same time, several large armies swarmed south, rushed to various counties and attacked the Mariner Army.
The centurion under Haizhe's subordinates said nothing, and the servant army was indeed wrong. After Le'an County was captured, some of the 1,500 servants received secret contact from the former Le'an County servant army, hoping to make them abandon the secret and turn to the Yan team again. Some people were willing to do so, while others hesitated. After all, it was just Le'an County that was captured. Le'an County was surrounded by the Marine Army. Who knows what would happen?
But as time went by, news that surprised the servants also came. The eight thousand Marine army in the north of Le'an County was wiped out, and the Huolin army in the north had already moved south to recover Yingzhou Prefecture. Suddenly, the servants in Majiazhuang were anxious and not ordinary impatient. Because their four servants were betrayers of Yan State. If the Huolin army could not do anything before the Huolin army recovered the lost territory, there would be no hope of living at all.
For betrayers, they often suffer more miserable experiences than the enemy. If they can't do it now, like the servants in Le'an County, there is no hope at all. So, the servants in Majiazhuang took action one after another, or secretly contacted their former colleagues, hoping to break the chaos and join the Huolin Army, get rid of the servants, and get rid of the infamy of traitors.
Tujiang, the one with the highest position in Majiazhuang's servant army, is a thousand generals, responsible for commanding 1,500 people. Originally, there were only a thousand people, but after coming to Majiazhuang, the original five hundred servant army also belonged to its subordinates.
Now Tu Jiang is in the tent of the former Majiazhuang vassal army, several people are discussing the current situation.
"Brother Liu, what's the situation? Can we join the Huolin Army and get rid of the infamy of traitors?" Tu Jiang asked anxiously.
Tu Jiang asked about a man who was about thirty years old but had an ordinary face. He was originally a leader of a hundred people in the minion army, so he contacted Le'an County this time because he had a brother in Le'an County and had joined the Huolin Army.
Liu Chengwen showed a faint smile on his ordinary face and said, "Okay, brothers, don't worry! We can get rid of this damn insult. We are Han people and Yan people!"
More than ten people around him breathed a sigh of relief, and the nervous and depressed expressions on their faces disappeared one by one.
Liu Chengwen continued: "But, you have to defeat the Marai Army in Majiazhuang."
Tu Jiang frowned and said, "Brother Liu, this is not easy. The military camp of the Marine Army is separated from us and is closely guarded. It's fine, but our startup and sharp weapons were confiscated, leaving only some broken long swords and broken guns. It's really difficult to solve the Marine Army smoothly..."
Liu Chengwen smiled and said, "Don't worry, Lord Tu, the Huolin Army will also participate in this matter, and we only need our assistance. In addition, the four thousand war horses must be retained, especially the jade lion among them, which was called by the Huolin Army. The action is tonight. You all go down to prepare for it. Do not let go of the news."
