Haven’t waited for news about the horse exploration yet.
News came from Jiangning Mansion.
Hu Ronghui's army of 10,000 people, the Zhenglu army, and the rebel army of 200,000 people have captured Jiangning Mansion.
At this moment, Jiangning Mansion has changed its doors.
From a strategic point of view, there is no need to defend Pingcheng.
"One hundred thousand troops couldn't capture Pingcheng, but two hundred thousand troops captured Jiangning Mansion?"
"What do these people in Jiangning Mansion do for food?"
Wei Tao was furious.
He originally thought that as long as he defended Pingcheng, his mission would be completed.
Now that Jiangning Mansion is destroyed, Pingcheng has no way out.
It has completely become an isolated city.
Even he himself felt that Pingcheng was doomed.
At this time, another news came from the court.
"The 100,000 Tigers and Tigers led by General Lin Xiao have arrived at the boundary of Jiangning Prefecture. Each city in Jiangning Prefecture is preparing to defend itself and clear out the bandit army."
It is also an imperial preparation order, the court's wartime preparation.
Therefore, the current government troops in various places and cities have no restrictions on their establishment.
In fact, there were no restrictions for a long time. When the first wave of defense preparation instructions came, the war zone relaxed its establishment.
In order to defend the city and the territory, the city lord's mansion can recruit as many as they can.
But even so, Wei Tao never had any intention of recruiting Zhang Yin and others.
He just asked people to spread the news that "Zhonglang General Lin Xiao led an army of 100,000 tigers and soldiers to reach the boundary of Jiangning Prefecture".
After the news came out from the city lord's mansion.
The "Lingzhou Prefecture Army" led by Zhang Yin immediately resigned from Wei Tao.
Wei Tao never meant to give Zhang Yin and others an identity.
Having helped Pingcheng guard the city for so many days before, I completely treated Zhang Yin and others as "volunteers".
It means that Zhang Yin and others have always been white.
Zhang Yin could also clearly feel the rejection from Wei Tao and the Fu army.
He was very disappointed.
The siege of Pingcheng has been lifted. It is not pleasant to stay here. It is better to leave Pingcheng and find another way.
The three Zhang Yin brothers wanted to leave, but some of his "Lingzhou Prefecture Army" were unwilling to leave.
These bandits in the roaring mountains and forests have had enough of living in the open.
Finally feeling a bit of stability, I had the idea of taking root.
"Everyone has his own ambitions."
The three brothers Zhang Yin were very angry when they saw this situation.
........
........
The night the news from the court came.
Wei Tao led the Pingcheng army out in full force.
We defeated the Wanping Army camp that had besieged Pingcheng for several months, and killed some of the old, weak, sick and disabled Wanping Army soldiers who were too late to evacuate due to delayed news.
Another fire burned the camp clean.
The fire burned all night.
People in the streets and alleys of Pingcheng ran to the city to take a look.
I am convinced that the siege of Pingcheng has been resolved.
Suddenly the whole city cheered.
........
Cao Su returned home.
at home.
Cao's father, Cao's mother and sister-in-law Liu Luan have prepared wine and food.
Not long after he returned home, Cao Xing also came back.
"Great, the Wanping Army has finally been repelled, and now Pingcheng is stable again."
Father Cao was drinking and very happy.
Both sons are very promising, especially the younger son now.
They all looked at Cao Su, who was 1.85 meters tall and as strong as a bear, and couldn't believe that he was the thin commoner boy from half a year ago.
The changes have been too great, even if Cao Su is sitting there now, he won't move.
Ordinary people can also feel the overwhelming pressure of Qi and blood on his body.
Sister-in-law Liu Luan poured wine for Cao Xing and Cao Su.
She was also very happy. She originally thought that Cao Xing had joined the government army and it would not be a good thing for her to marry into the Cao family.
Unexpectedly, Cao Xing was in the government army. He seemed to be in a later department. He had never even been on the front line, so he was very safe.
The family is getting richer and richer, and life is getting better day by day.
Several of Liu Luan's close friends were envious of her good luck.
"The Wanping Army was not pushed back, they left on their own."
Cao Xing shook his head.
Cao Su looked at Cao Xing and found that Cao Xing was now a bit taller.
The energy and blood in his body surged, and he achieved certain results in his martial arts training.
Under Mr. Cheng's tent, he usually listened a lot and knew a lot.
Most ordinary soldiers and people thought that the Wanping Army was defeated by the government army.
After all, the momentum last night was so huge and very deceptive.
"Yes, Wan Pingjun may come back."
Cao Su nodded and said in a deep voice.
"Will Wan Pingjun come back?"
When everyone heard this, their faces looked a little unhappy.
The Wanping Army was a rebel army. According to the propaganda of the government army, the Wanping Army burned, killed, humiliated, looted, and committed all kinds of evil.
It was thought that the Wanping Army was repulsed and Pingcheng settled down.
Now according to Cao Su's intention, there is another hidden agenda.
"Now the whole Jiangning Mansion is in chaos. Today I will beat you, and tomorrow you will beat me."
"No one knows what will happen tomorrow."
"Perhaps when we open the city gate early tomorrow morning, we will find ten thousand Ping troops reappearing under Ping City."
The Wanping Army was essentially a simple peasant uprising with religious implications.
There is no systematic strategic layout.
According to Cao Su's guess, the Wanping Army could only think of taking Jiangning Mansion and using the Fourth Battle Ground to mediate with the imperial army.
But the more this kind of place is, the less conducive it is to achieving great things.
How much consumption can the peasant army withstand?
After fighting this kind of war, at most it will make the decadent dynasty collapse faster.
"Wouldn't there still be a war?"
Cao's mother was very worried.
Cao Su smiled and said: "There is no soldier who doesn't fight. In a war-torn world, you must have the courage to face it."
"What will the government army do next?"
Father Cao and Mother Cao focused entirely on their two sons.
Let’s start with Cao Xing.
Cao Xingdao: "Next, I should continue to defend Pingcheng with Mr. Cheng."
"But military affairs are not as busy as before. I should be able to return home every day."
Cao Xing is Cheng Lao's personal soldier.
Belongs to the "secretary beside the leader".
There is a lot of oil and water, it is safe, and it can be promoted quickly.
Cao Su is in a completely different line. He starts from the grassroots level and works step by step to become bigger and stronger.
Cao Su smiled and said: "I should still be very busy, and the time when I return home will not be fixed."
"I am currently under the command of the First Lieutenant of City Lord Wei. If there is a war in Jiangning Mansion and many bandits are involved, then there is a possibility that the government troops here in Pingcheng will be transferred."
"Of course, the biggest problem lies outside the city."
"Once Jiangning Mansion was defeated, Pingcheng's strategic status was instantly reduced by several levels. Neither side would focus on this place to make a fuss about."
"And to clean up the scattered bandits, the government troops will inevitably be dispatched."
After Cao Su finished speaking, he found that everyone in the room looked confused.
Even Cao Xing was confused and had no idea what he was talking about.
He said in astonishment: "To put it simply, I am very busy."
I understand this sentence.
What Cao Su meant was that whether it was to mobilize for combat or to clean up bandits, he would definitely participate as a centurion under the First School, and he might not be in Pingcheng at all by then.
Unlike Cao Xing who can go home at any time, he cannot go home for the time being.
After Cao Su finished speaking, the house suddenly became dull.
Fortunately, the wine kept flowing in the bowl.
Cao Su directly raised the bowl and bumped it with Cao Xing, his father.
He raised his head and drank a bowl of wine.
Liquor went down throat.
Spicy and pungent.
As intense as fire.
The sister-in-law immediately carried a pot and served it to Cao Suman.
"Sister-in-law, slow down."
"Pour wine for father and Da Lang first."
Cao Su stopped Liu Luan and subconsciously persuaded him to drink.
Cao's father and Cao Xing are also real people.
After seeing Cao Su doing it.
Follow him immediately and drink all the wine in the bowl.
"Come on, drink!"
Cao Xinghao was furious.
After staying in the military for a long time.
Originally, there was still some gangsterism in him that was wandering on the streets, but it gradually disappeared.
The whole person has become mighty and bold, and is gradually developing in the direction of Wang Meng.
Liu Luan's beautiful eyes are full of color, and she looks even more shy and charming in the candlelight.
Shyly, he poured wine for the three of them one after another.
The three of them drank until midnight.
He started talking nonsense and got very drunk.
Cao Su's drinking capacity was better and he helped Cao Xing back to the room.
He stayed in the yard and performed a set of Fuhu Fist.
With the end of the defense of Pingcheng.
His period of rapid growth in strength has also come to an end.
At present, Qi and blood have entered the five-pronged realm.
According to legend, those who can reach this level of Qi and blood are all top disciples of major sects.
There are very few wild men in the world who can reach this level.
Cao Su felt that he could still carry out six breakthroughs.
His energy and blood have been boiling in the past few days, and there are signs of breakthrough.
If it's Liutu Qi and blood, that's really unheard of.
At this time, although he has not entered the realm of strength.
However, the powerful Qi and blood still created a terrifying and strong body. The Qi strength alone has increased to more than 700 kilograms, and is still growing.
The stronger the energy, the more lethal it will be on the battlefield.
Nowadays, some qi-blood warriors generally can't do more than two moves in his hands.
Judging from the lethality against Qi and blood warriors, they are the same as those in the Harmony Realm.
Cao Su had seen the force realm take action before, and he felt that the force realm wasn't too strong.
The strength of the ordinary strength realm is only about a thousand kilograms.
"This world is too dangerous."
"The black smoke beasts and the flowing lightning techniques we saw on the battlefield before all revealed unknown weirdness."
"You need to break through to the limit of energy and blood as soon as possible, and then step into the realm of strength."
Cao Su has a strong sense of urgency.
Although Pingcheng's strategic position has declined, it is still in a war zone.
You may encounter the next wave of rebel crisis anytime and anywhere.
There are rogue bandits everywhere outside the city.
Affected by the Wanping Rebellion, the number of bandits in various places increased sharply.
When thieves accumulate to a certain number, they may call themselves "marshals" and form a large-scale rebel army.
The rebels will destroy farmland and cities, making life more difficult for people in war-torn areas.
It may even spread to other areas.
In the short term, the number of bandits will only increase.
The strength of a large-scale peasant uprising lies in this place.
In the early stage, there will never be a shortage of troops.
.........
A few days later.
The imperial court officially issued an edict to promote Wei Tao, the lord of Pingcheng City, to the position of inspector of Jiangning Prefecture and the lord of Pingcheng City.
The inspector of Jiangning Prefecture was a high-ranking official from the fourth rank. Although it was a false position, it elevated Wei Tao's rank.
It was equivalent to commending him during wartime.
It's just that the position is temporarily difficult to arrange, and Wei Tao still has to carry out the work of guarding Pingcheng and eliminating the bandits in Jiangning Mansion, so he was given a false position first.
Promote him from the fifth-grade rank to the fourth-grade rank.
After the war, he will be assigned to a higher position.
After Wei Tao became a road patrolman in Jiangning Prefecture, he added two more generals under his command.
Wang Meng and another captain were promoted to special generals.
Many more captains were added, and the military strength of the entire Pingcheng Prefecture Army expanded rapidly.
In the blink of an eye, the number of troops exceeded 10,000.
Wei Tao followed the instructions of Huben Zhonglang General Lin Xiao and sent 3,000 government troops to stay in Pingcheng. He personally led 7,000 government troops, named "Ten Thousand Government Army", to go out of the city to clean up the bandits.
Use it as a partial division to reduce the offensive pressure of Jiangning Mansion.
