Among the counties in Hebei Province, Qinghe County borders Wu'an County to the west and Wuyang County to the southwest.
In recent months, Wu Xin led his army southward, out of Zhuojun, across Hejian County and Xindu County, two large counties in Hebei Province, and was close to Jijun.
Qinghe County Zongcheng County area.
More than 60,000 troops and nearly 100,000 people walked on the wide official road, which stretched for dozens of miles, spreading like a long dragon.
Fortunately, they were all citizens of Jurong, and Wu Xin did not deduct salary or food. The atmosphere in the team was acceptable, which was completely different from the numbness and despair of the other teams going north.
&nb(;At this time, the northbound teams encountered on the road gradually became rarer, and most of them had already gathered in Zhuojun!
On the twenty-day journey, Wen Renzhong looked forward to Wu'an County in the west with great anticipation, looked at Wu Xin and asked for instructions:
"Master! Anyway, Ji County is coming soon. Do you want to go back to Wucheng?"
It looks like a request for instructions, but it is actually a reminder and expectation.
Today is different from the past. Now Wu Xin holds the title of Marquis and General, and leads hundreds of thousands of people. When he returns to Wucheng, his treatment will definitely be different from before. Even the Lord of Wucheng will give him a warm welcome!
To put it simply, return home in glory!
Wu Xin was silent and looked at Zhang Qing and Wei Peng.
Zhang Qing understood and responded: "According to the intelligence, the expeditionary army has now been launched one after another, and the forward army has left the Sui Dynasty. It is a simultaneous attack by sea and land!"
Wen Renzhong and others were disappointed for a while, and even Du Heng, Hong Bo, Wu Long and others also looked disappointed. After all, they all wanted to go back to their hometown, see their relatives and friends, and enjoy the pleasure of returning to their hometown in fine clothes.
In the blink of an eye, they had left Wucheng for more than half a year, but they spent a lot of time on the road.
Wen Renzhong rolled his eyes and said to himself: "If we just believed in Wuwei, we would have arrived at Jijun long ago. If we had just left and rushed to Jijun afterwards, we might have arrived earlier than the army!"
"
Zhang Qing thought for a while and added: "Based on intelligence analysis, there are still nearly a month until the Holy Lord leaves the country. We have plenty of time and we will not miss it before the Holy Lord's expedition!"
Wen Renzhong, Du Heng and others were refreshed. This place was only three to five days away from Wucheng. If only Xinwuwei could do it, the speed would be faster and the important event would not be delayed at all!
Before Wu Xin responded, Zhang Qing changed his tone and added: "However, the information from Phantom Tower. There are many thieves and bandits gathering at the junction of Wei County, Ji County, and Wuyang County, which may affect the situation."
journey!"
Wen Renzhong, Hong Bo and other people who followed Wu Xin to Linshuo Palace knew the true purpose of their trip. After hearing this information, their faces changed slightly.
Recently, the Sui armies from all over the world have gathered in Hebei. Previously, countless armies marching north passed by. The bandits and bandits from all walks of life have long been hiding far away. How can they dare to show up?
Now that thieves and bandits are gathering together, ten out of ten are targeting the Jurong army!
In other words, some people don't want the Jurong army to arrive at Jijun smoothly!
"Where is the scale and location?" Wen Renzhong did not dare to talk about returning to Wucheng. Instead, he asked cautiously.
Zhang Qing responded quickly: "The scale is between two and three hundred thousand, and the location is currently Huang County in Ji County. The most likely place for an ambush is Bowang Mountain, which is northeast of Ji County. It is the only way for us to pass!"
Everyone's expressions changed slightly. Wen Renzhong looked at Wu Xin and asked, "Young Master?"
"Wuyang County is ahead, right? If you go back to Wucheng and transfer to Wu'an County, you will miss Wuyang County!" Wu Xin answered the question.
Zhang Qing understood and said: "If we move to Wu'an County, we can cross Wei County and enter from the north of Ji County. Plus Wucheng will be delayed for a few days, it will take about half a month longer; if we go straight south to Wuyang County,
Until the mother river. Going further west, it will take about ten more days! You can bypass the Neihuang Bowang area."
"Haha... I, the general, have never been shy about fighting! I will only complain that there is too little fighting, not too much!"
Wu Xin chuckled and said slowly, then looked at Wu Long. Wen Renzhong and others reminded: "Have you forgotten, does Wu'an County still want our enemies?"
"What do you mean, young master?" Wen Renzhong was the first to react and asked with gleaming eyes.
Zhang Qing, Ling Yu, Sun Yuan and other latecomers have some doubts and guesses, but the details are not clear!
"It's not that I won't take revenge, the time has not yet come! Now that I have the ability to take revenge, I can't miss it. Find out the relevant forces that appeared in Gaoyou Lake!"
A slight sneer appeared at the corner of Wu Xin's mouth, and he spoke slowly with evil spirits. He paused for a moment, and then sighed: "We have to do something to show the Holy Lord. It should be regarded as a petition, and we can't just say it but not do it. At the same time, we arrived at Ji
In front of the county, I will frighten the Duke of Chu and many forces in Ji County. I will also warn many who are enemies of this general. You will achieve multiple things with one stone!"
Everyone was in awe, Zhang Qing solemnly promised, and was about to arrange to go down and contact the Phantom Tower, and also wanted to find out what happened in Gaoyou Lake.
Wen Renzhong happily took out a scroll and said, "Master! The list is here!"
"Oh? Well done!"
Wu Xin was surprised for a moment and praised it without hesitation. Then he motioned to Zhang Qing to take out the military map and mark the locations of the relevant forces on the list on the map.
First of all, there are three Buddhist temples including Wuyang Zhufo, Puhe Temple, Dazhai Temple, and Dengqing Temple. They have more than 5,000 monks and more than two or three god-refining ancestors are in charge. The remaining Nanjiang Temple, Nanyue Temple, etc. are smaller in scale.
, the number of disciples ranges from a few hundred to three or four thousand.
In addition, the Che family in Wuyang County is a relative of the Taiyuan Wang family among the seven wealthy families, and is a first-rate force; there are also second- and third-rate families inside and outside the county, including the Qian family, the He family, the Xu family, and other seven or eight families;
Linghua Village in Xuemuling on the bank of Fuhe River, the Fan family in Qianshan Port, the Guzhu Village in Guzhu Port, and the Lei family; the Zhenhe Gang and Jianfeng Chamber of Commerce in Jianfeng Port; the first-class gang in Daming County, the famous Iron Blood Sect,
They are affiliated forces of the Righteous Path Chunyang Palace and so on.
After counting, there were over fifty, involving nearly one million people.
Everyone looked at it with different expressions. Wu Xin was quite surprised and looked at Wen Renzhong for confirmation: "Are there so many? I thought the general didn't think there were many enemies!"
Wen Renzhong's face straightened up and he responded with extra solemnity: "Just a little, not more! Before the Wuyang Buddhas ambush us on the banks of the Fuhe River, there was another team ambushing us elsewhere, but we missed it! In addition, Gaoyou
There are so many strong men in the Battle of the Lake, they are just from these forces, the difference is more or less!"
"These... are also under the instigation of others, so they are not enemies!" Zhang Qing said tactfully.
Wu Xin frowned and pondered for a moment, then responded firmly: "No! Since there is a grudge, it must be avenged. Being instigated by others is not an excuse. Everyone must be responsible for what they do! Starting from the Che family in Wuyang County. Then.
They are the three major Buddhist temples: Puhe Temple, Dazhai Temple, and Qing Temple. The rest can be divided into divisions to destroy, especially the Buddhist sects of aristocratic families, no matter how big or small, all will be destroyed, and all the families will be executed and their homes will be confiscated. No matter what the background of the other party is!"
Seeing Wu Xin's attitude, Zhang Qing did not give much advice and reminded: "Our army is sufficient, more than enough! But there are not many strong ones, so we need to agree on good tactics, otherwise we will suffer heavy losses!"
If these forces unite, the Jurong Army will definitely not be an opponent.
However, there are more than fifty forces scattered everywhere. Most of them are ordinary people, but the proportion of strong ones is relatively high, so it is not difficult!
…
Three days later, Wuyang County, Wuyang City.
A large number of troops stretched as far as the eye could see, approaching the city, causing Wuyang County to be restless, and all the troops were on alert. The county lieutenants, county magistrates, etc. panicked and investigated.
Wu Xin revealed his identity and then took out the imperial edict on the bright side. He did not even show the content of the imperial edict. Wuyang's army did not dare to stop him. Xinwuwei entered the city first, followed by the rest of the Jurong army!
As soon as the Jurong army entered the city, they did not stop or rest. They went straight to the largest and most powerful force in Wuyang City... the Che family's mansion. The dense army quickly surrounded the luxurious Che mansion.
At the same time, Wu Xin found a small inn and emptied it.
"General! The treasure of Wuyang County, Cheng Yuan, County Lieutenant Che Yi, and Wuyang officials are asking for an audience!"
A Xinwu Wei gave a loud report, and more than a dozen officials including Yuan Baobao entered. Among them were Zhang Gongjin and Wei Zheng!
Yuan Baobao and Che Yi took the lead and walked into the hall. When they saw Wu Xin sitting in the main seat with a cold face and no intention of greeting him, they couldn't help but frown and have different thoughts.
You know, Yuan Baobao and Che Yi are of higher rank than Wu Xin!
"Haha... General Wu, we meet again!"
Wearing a purple robe, the burly and heroic Yuan Baobao pretended to be bold and laughed as he approached and shouted, and then continued:
"Congratulations to General Wu on your promotion. I have been separated for three days. You should look at each other with admiration! Why did General Wu come here this time?"
Wu Xin had no expression on his face, looked around with cold eyes, and remained silent. He just smiled at Yuan Baobao, Zhang Gongjin and Wei Zheng nodded.
"Pah..." He snapped his fingers.
The Xinwu guards, who had been prepared in advance, poured out from all directions and surrounded him.
Yuan Baobao and others were on alert, and the guards and servants drew out their weapons to confront each other. There were over 10,000 elite county soldiers guarding the streets outside, and even the county and city troops were on standby at any time!
Seeing that Wuwei did not force himself, Yuanbao Bao's expression changed greatly and he breathed a sigh of relief. Yuan Baobao was confused and shouted again: "General Wu?!"
"This is an imperial edict..."
Wu Xin quickly took out the imperial edict and put it on the table next to him. After a pause, he took out the gold medal given by the emperor and faced the crowd and said: "May the Prime Minister of Yuan County step forward to find out whether it is true or false!"
"Long live the Holy One, long live the Holy One!"
Wuyang officials were shocked and prostrated themselves and shouted.
Yuan Baobao gritted his teeth and stepped forward with a confused mind, respectfully and nervously inspecting...
It’s an imperial edict, and it’s a gold medal given by the emperor. Now, everyone knows that something big is going to happen!
Putting down the gold medal with a heavy heart, Yuan Baobao did not go to get the imperial edict. Because there is a gold medal and an imperial edict, there must be a secret target, and the imperial edict is meaningless, and can only be more evil!
"If the inspection is correct, appease the army, disarm and arrest. This matter has nothing to do with the vast majority of people present, it is just a precaution! Of course, if you want to rebel, you can resist the order!"
Wu Xin remained expressionless, looking around at everyone present with cold eyes, and finally looked at Yuan Baobao and said.
Wei Peng nodded slightly towards Wei Zheng, which made many people breathe a sigh of relief.
Yuan Baobao's face turned pale, and he was obviously nervous and apprehensive. He nodded to everyone after hearing the order.
Soon, Xinwuwei swarmed in, confiscated weapons, isolated officials, etc., and everything went smoothly.
At this moment, the Ghost King Chasing the Wind shot out like the wind, and shot like lightning, cutting off the pulse of Commander Che Yi and sealing his acupoints, and he also did not let go of the other generals!
The crowd was agitated, and County Lieutenant Che Yi was shocked and shouted: "General Wu..."
"The Holy One has an edict: The Che clan of Wuyang colluded with bandits and plotted rebellion. The evidence is conclusive and the three clans will be punished. Officials will be asked to give their full assistance! Otherwise, they will be shown as accomplices and will be eliminated one by one. I appreciate this!"
Wu Xin ignored Che Yi and preached loudly while holding the gold medal.
Wu Xin’s version of the simplified holy oracle is freshly released!
