As the scorching sun rose, the Jurong army finally arrived at Jiangdu City. △↗,.
Wang Shichong and others left overnight. Wu Xin, who was in Jiangducheng, naturally knew that they just didn't show up.
This morning, Wu Xin took Eunuch Hua and others directly to the City Lord's Mansion to register as a sign of arrival.
If nothing unexpected happens, Wu Xin, who is the governor of Liyang, Danyang, and Jiangdu, will concurrently serve as the lord of Jiangdu City and take charge of Jiangdu. After all, Jiangdu City is one of the three major heavenly capitals.
In addition, it may also be because of Wang Shichong's signal. The city lord's palace did not make any difficulties, but was extremely enthusiastic, respectful, humble, and obviously ingratiating. Wu Xin was just a person, and it was not time for dinner. Seals, documents, residence and other related matters
The items and procedures have been processed, and it seems that they have been prepared for Wu Xin to arrive!
Wang Shichong left overnight and took away the 200,000 more elite troops loyal to Jiangdu City. He only left 300,000 ordinary regular troops and 500,000 reserve troops, which were completely inconsistent with the Tiandu level city.
In this way, Wu Xin did not need to worry about any accidents in taking over Jiangdu City. He just asked High Priest Di Mo and Ancestor Xian Kong to pay attention to the Jiangdu garrison, and then took Eunuch Hua to start work directly and entered the state of the three counties.
The first order was to order the civil and military generals of the three counties, county magistrates and county captains, and famous families to rush to Jiangdu as soon as possible to see him, the great Sui prince, the prefect of the three counties, and the general of Zhennan.
The time limit is three days, and those who fail to do so will be punished with the crime of rebellion.
As for the anti-military threat, there is no need to worry. Let’s not talk about whether Du Fuwei will abide by his verbal agreement. After taking control of Jiangdu City, Wu Xin can advance and attack, retreat and defend, and he is not afraid of Du Fuwei going back on his word.
The elite soldiers of Prince Wu's Mansion are not in vain, they can reach the level of "king", no matter how bad they are, they can't be any worse.
This is also one of the main reasons why many rebels like to call themselves "anti-kings". It is not just a matter of name. It can also recruit troops, attract talents, show their strength, power, etc.
Wu Xin is a real prince, not an anti-king, the essence is different!
As far as Wu Xin knew, there was really no force in the south that could compete with the elite soldiers of Prince Wu's Mansion. At most, they could win with numbers. Now that Wu Xin had the great righteousness of the court, he didn't have to worry about numbers.
City Lord's Mansion, front hall and meeting hall.
Wu Xin sat upright in the middle of the table. Hua Gonggong stood aside quietly like an invisible man. Various documents crowded the large table several meters long and wide, and piled up several feet thick.
Wu Xin's movements were slow and slow, and he opened the pages slowly, not just one glance at a time. The speed of processing the documents was extremely fast. After reading almost every document, he picked up the pen to process it and put it aside.
It's not that Wu Xin's political ability is extraordinary, but the ability of a great literary monk. With his strong mental power, the great literary monk's thinking ability is dozens or hundreds of times that of ordinary people, and he can naturally deal with problems very quickly.
This is also one of the main reasons why ministers of literature and literature are basically major literary cultivators.
Outside the hall, the sound of dense footsteps could be heard faintly...
Eunuch Hua reminded him in a low voice at the right time: "My lord! Honglao is here. It should be my lord's old army in Jurong. He has arrived!"
"Are we here yet?"
Wu Xin nodded slightly, read the document in his hand in a few seconds, put it aside after processing, looked at the door and murmured.
After he finished speaking, he took a deep breath to relax his tense spirit, then stood up and faced the door.
After all, he is an old subordinate and a veteran. We haven’t seen him for many years, so it’s okay if we don’t greet him at the city gate. At least we can’t treat him like an ordinary subordinate!
"See my lord!"
Led by the three great monks including Hong Bo, Lady Tulip, and Heart-Eating Patriarch, Feng Ya, Liu Shi, Li Chunliang, Wang Xiao, Duan Feng, Zhang Qing, Ling Yu and others followed closely and saw Wu Xin standing at the door of the palace.
, immediately bowed and paid homage. He was quite excited, and addressed himself as a lord, rather than a prince, lord, etc.
This means treating oneself as a retainer.
Among them, Jiu Fengya, Li Chunliang, Mrs. Tulip and others were those who stayed behind at the beginning, while Liu, Zhang Qing, Ling Yu and others later returned to Jurong County with many supplies.
"..."
Wu Xin opened his mouth, as if he had a lot to say, but he didn't know how to say it, so he simply bowed in silence and said loudly:
"Thank you for your hard work, you all did a great job, please come in soon!"
Feng Ya, Mrs. Tulip and others did not dare to shout, but secretly breathed a sigh of relief. This showed that Wu Xin still valued them very much and followed them into the palace.
What shocked them was that everyone, including Mrs. Tulip and the Heart-Eating Ancestor, could not clearly see Wu Xin's true cultivation level, but they could feel the power of mountains and seas. He was in a high position and had extraordinary strength, so he naturally
of power.
Originally, everyone had countless things to say, especially the Heart-Eating Ancestor and Feng Ya, but now they didn't know what to say.
"In recent years, you have done a good job and have not let me down..."
When everyone sat down, the atmosphere was quite dull and solemn. No one spoke for a while, but Wu Xin was the first to express his appreciation.
As soon as he finished speaking and waved his hands, several weapons and dozens of books appeared in the air and flew towards everyone present...
"If you have merit, you will be rewarded, and if you make mistakes, you will be punished. This is recognition and reward for you. Choose for yourself..."
This is something Wu Xin has planned for a long time. The cultivation level of those who stay behind will definitely be far inferior to those who go out with the army. They can only make up for it with foreign aids and try to close the gap as much as possible.
This may seem a bit crude, but it is the most practical.
Everyone was in great spirits, looking at the things in front of them with bright eyes. It was not difficult to see that these items were either magic weapons or treasures and secrets, and they should be of heaven level. As a prince, Wu Xin should not be of human level.
The prefecture level prevaricates them.
However, the distribution of various objects is also somewhat mysterious.
In front of Feng Ya is an ancient bow...the Seven-Star Splitting Wind Bow. In front of the Heart-Eating Ancestor is a pair of golden silkworm gloves at the level of a divine weapon. In front of Madam Tulip is a ball of brocade-red gold thread...a pair of golden silk gloves at the level of a divine weapon.
Red gold satin.
There are no others, only dozens of books to choose from.
The Heart-Eating Ancestor and Mrs. Tulip happily took away the treasures in front of them without any ceremony, and looked at the dozens of books with expectant eyes.
Feng Ya did not take the "Seven-Star Splitting Wind Bow" in front of him, nor did he choose those heaven-level martial arts tomes. He actually only chose the literary tome... "Wind God's Tome".
Li Chunliang chose the most magical books, and quickly took away the "Star Absorbing Magic Book", "Purgatory Magic Book", "Tian Mei Magic Book", "Indestructible Magic Book", and "Heavenly Demon War Manual".
The Secret Book is the top book of the Ten Meridians of Heavenly Demon. If Li Chunliang hadn't seen others only choose one or two books, Li Chunliang was too embarrassed to take more, and he would probably have taken away all the dozen or so books that Wu Xin had obtained from the Heavenly Demon Palace.
It is worth mentioning that Wu Xin already knows Li Chunliang's true identity. He is indeed a true disciple of the Heavenly Demon Palace and the secret agent of the Heavenly Demon Palace who was placed in Jiangdu County back then. It is not that he deliberately targeted Wu Xin.
However, Li Chunliang also had an identity that was even more interesting to Wu Xin. He was the concubine of the Li family... Li Yuan, the Duke of Tang Dynasty, was considered the fifth son of Li Yuan. However, he was not recognized and was not even included in the genealogy. He was probably forgotten!
"Everyone came very quickly and in a timely manner. Now, our top priority is to take control of the three counties as soon as possible, recruit troops, buy horses, eliminate banditry, appease people, and prepare for the upcoming king-conferring conference in Yangzhou!" (Unfinished)
