Zheng Xie, who was rarely diligent, summoned his generals and asked about the affairs of the city: "General Li, how many cities have we occupied? How many troops and horses do we have now?"
Shang Xiuxun snorted: "You are the most unprofessional leader I have ever seen. You don't even know your own sphere of influence or how many soldiers you have under your command." She was still a little bit disgusted by Zheng Xie's overthrow of Huan Huan.
God didn't give him a good look at all.
Zheng Xie laughed and laughed. The day after he pushed down Huanhan, this troublemaker left without saying goodbye. He secretly cursed in his heart, do all women with personality like to play this trick?
At least Huanwan can be regarded as a witch whose whereabouts are unpredictable.
Li Jingdao: "As of today, Chunling, Handong, and Anlu counties have all been occupied, and there are more than 38,000 soldiers and horses."
Shang Xiuxun interjected: "Don't count the soldiers on my ranch."
Li Jing said: "That's thirty-three thousand people."
Kou Zhong said: "Brother Zheng, we are now considered a not-so-big force. It's time to stand up and show our banner. What do you think about our founding of the country as Zheng, so Brother Zheng calls himself King Zheng?"
"At this time, Wang Shichong has not yet proclaimed himself king. The emperor of Luoyang is still his puppet Yang Tong, who is titled King of Yue. After Wang Shichong defeats Li Mi, he will depose Yang Tong, proclaim himself emperor, and title King Zheng.
Therefore, if Kou Zhong now proposes "Prince Zheng", he will not have the same title as Wang Shichong.
It is not uncommon for the country to have the same title. Xiao Mian became the king in Baling and established the country as Liang. The Liang divisions in the north occupied Honghua and Yan'an and proclaimed themselves king. The country was also named Liang. Therefore, there were two in the rebel army.
Liang Wang, one in the south and one in the north.
Li Jing hesitated for a moment and said, "Isn't it still too early?"
Kou Zhongdao: "Establishing the country as early as possible can help the soldiers return to their hearts and add a sense of cohesion."
Zheng Xie shook his head and said: "Don't worry, it's too early now. It's too shabby to claim such a small territory as the king. It's not too late to capture the next city and then claim the king."
Li Jing said "Oh" and said, "Young Master Zheng has already made plans for the next step?"
"That's right."
Zheng Xie pointed to a simple map and said: "Now the forces adjacent to us include Li Tang in Chang'an, Wagangzhai in Xingyang, Du Fuwei's Jianghuai Army, Lin Shihong's Chu Army, and Xiao Xian's Liang Army. Everyone feels
Which force should we attack next?"
Li Jing pondered for a while and said: "In terms of the various forces, the Jianghuai Army in the east and the Liang Army in the south are the weakest. My subordinates are more inclined to go south to attack Baling. It's just..."
Kou Zhong gave a wry smile and answered: "It's just that Xiao Mian has already formed an alliance with the Song clan." Among them, Kou Zhong also contributed to the connection.
Zheng Xie smiled casually and said: "General Li and I have thought of it together. Our next step is to go south and attack Xiao Mian's home base of Baling. As for the Song clan, there is no need to worry, as long as we are fast enough. In the Song clan
If we capture Baling before sending out troops, everything will be safe. Then I will personally rush to Lingnan to convince Song Que to form an alliance with him."
"Heavenly Sword" Song Que is the world's best swordsman and the leader of the Lingnan Song Dynasty. There are few people in the world who can talk to him on an equal footing, and Zheng She happens to be one of them.
Li Jing said happily: "If Mr. Zheng can convince Lord Song, that would be great."
Zheng Xie pointed at Baling County and said: "That's it. Soldiers are valuable and quick. General. Tomorrow you will lead 30,000 troops to attack Liang. Xiaozhong and Ziling will stay behind to defend the city."
…
When it comes to arranging troops, Zheng Xie knows nothing about it. The only thing he is good at is beheading tactics.
The right way is to be surprised and win by surprise.
Xiao Mian never thought that Zheng Xie would start a war again not long after he captured Jingling. By the time he got the news, Li Jing and Kou Zhong had already led their army to Baling City, fifty miles away.
At this time, Zheng Xie had already sneaked into Baling City with Zhao Min and Ren Yingying, and killed Xiao Mian in the palace of King Liang.
As soon as Xiao Xian died, there was chaos in Baling City...
The next day, Baling changed owners.
Zheng Xie left the mess to his subordinates to deal with, and went to the palace to meet an important guest.
Song Yuzhi.
On that day, when Zheng Xie assassinated Xiao Mian, he met Song Yuzhi in the palace. Naturally, he was not polite, so he knocked Song Yuzhi unconscious and took him away, hiding him in a palace.
At this time, the battle situation has been decided, and Zheng Xie has time to see this beautiful girl of heaven.
He dragged Song Yuzhi out from under the bed, carried him to the bed, and said with a smile: "The situation was unavoidable, and Zheng had no choice but to do this. I am so arrogant to the beautiful lady. Please forgive me, Miss Yuzhi."
Song Yuzhi was lying straight on the bed, a pair of starry eyes glaring at him like fire.
"Ha, Zheng is careless. I will unlock the acupoints for you right now." Zheng Xiezi carefully looked at Song Yuzhi from beginning to end. After feasting his eyes, he pushed aside her hair and took the silver needle from her
Pulling out the top of her head and slapping her a few more times, Song Yuzhi finally came to life with a "squeak".
Song Yuzhi is one of the most beautiful beauties in the Tang Dynasty. Her beauty is different from others. The temperament of other stunning beauties is either charming, delicate, elegant, quiet, otherworldly or heroic.
Sassy. But what Song Yuzhi reveals is a healthy and youthful charm, which is by no means inferior to anyone else.
Song Yuzhi moved, and his skin regained its rosy color. He jumped up from the bed, his face as cold as ice, and said coldly: "Why did you arrest Yuzhi here?"
After she stood up, she looked even taller and taller, with a beautiful figure.
Zheng She couldn't help but glance at her long, straight legs and slim waist, and said with a smile: "Yesterday when Zheng attacked the city, his troops were in a panic. In order to avoid accidentally injuring Miss Yuzhi,
I have no choice but to ask the lady to show my grievance first."
A look of surprise flashed in Song Yuzhi's eyes, and he said: "Your Excellency, you have a good trick. You captured Baling County in one day. If Mr. Zheng can stand here, the battle must be over. I wonder when Yuzhi can leave?"
Zheng Xie said: "I mean no harm. I have asked someone to prepare the horse. Miss Yuzhi can leave at any time."
"Farewell."
Song Yuzhi said crisply and immediately walked out of the palace.
"Please." A smile emerged from the corner of Zheng Xie's mouth, and he followed her behind her hands, walking leisurely.
The city of Baling was in a mess. All the shops were closed, and the villagers were hiding in their houses and did not dare to go out. There were only a group of soldiers in armor cleaning the battlefield on the main road. The tragic atmosphere has not yet dissipated.
Wherever the two men passed, the soldiers all paid attention and saluted, respecting them as if they were gods.
Song Yuzhi could feel the admiration of the soldiers for Zheng Xie. Walking beside him, she felt depressed. When they arrived outside the city, she suddenly turned around and asked, "How long will Mr. Zheng prepare to follow Yuzhi?"
Zheng Xie said: "I happen to be going to visit Lord Song, and Miss Yuzhi wouldn't mind coming with me."
Song Yuzhi said coldly: "If you want to die, that's the best thing."
Zheng Xie said: "Is Miss Yuzhi caring about Zheng? Otherwise, how could she be so kind as to remind her."
Song Yuzhi said indifferently: "Whatever you think."
As soon as Zheng Xie waved, a soldier came over with a horse, gave him a military salute, and handed the reins to Zheng Xie.
"Miss Yuzhi, please mount your horse," Zheng Xie said.
Song Yuzhi glanced at him, turned over and got on the horse.
Zheng Xie completed her movements almost at the same time as hers. He also sat on the horse, clamped his legs under the horse's belly, and the horse roared, kicked off its hooves and started galloping.
Song Yuzhi shouted angrily: "Go down, Yuzhi doesn't like riding with men!"
Zheng Xie said: "Yu Zhihao is unreasonable, this is my horse."
"Then I'll go down!"
Song Yuzhi slapped the horse's back and his body rose into the air.
Zheng Xie stretched out his arms, grabbed her waist, and pulled her back. He said, "Could it be that Yuzhi is reluctant to leave? Then we can stay in Baling for a few more days, so that Zheng can fulfill his duties as a landlord."
"
Song Yuzhi struggled and said, "Let go."
Zheng Xie tightened his arms around her slender waist, blew hot air into her ear, and said, "Be good, if you move again, I can't guarantee whether you will do something more extreme."
Song Yuzhi gritted his teeth, but had no choice but to compromise for the time being.
The two rode horses, enjoying the beautiful scenery along the way.
…
Guiyang.
A pair of handsome men and beautiful women stood on the edge of the pier.
Song Yuzhi said: "Your Majesty, it's too late to turn around and leave now. When you get to Lingnan, you won't have a chance if you want to leave again."
Zheng Xie smiled and said: "Could it be that Yuzhi really likes me? Otherwise, he would remind me again and again."
Song Yuzhi said with disdain: "Your name has already been engraved on my father's whetstone. Yuzhi just doesn't want another dead soul to fall under the sword."
Zheng Xie said "haha" and said: "This time I went to visit the Valve Master with a friendly attitude. I believe the Valve Master will be merciful."
Song Yuzhi snorted angrily: "You are really stubborn and unreasonable. Believe it or not is up to you."
Zheng Xie said calmly: "I believe that the clan leader has a keen eye for talents, and maybe he will marry Yuzhi to me."
Song Yuzhi said angrily: "What a beautiful thought."
At this moment, a large ship with the Chinese character "Song" on it sailed upstream from the river.
Zheng Xie and Song Yuzhi jumped onto the deck, and the Song clan ship immediately set sail and returned.
Those who came to greet them were Song Shidao, who had a relationship with Zheng She, and Song Zhi, the second-largest figure in the Song clan.
Song Zhi is Song Que's second brother, nicknamed "Earth Sword", which mirrors Song Que's nickname "Heavenly Sword", but compared to Song Que's martial arts, his martial arts skills are really incomparable.
Zheng Xie held up his hands to the two of them and said: "Zheng has met senior Song Zhi. Brother Dao, I'm here and you're fine. I'm really sorry for bothering you two."
Song Zhi politely raised his fists and said: "Young Master Zheng is indeed amazingly talented. My third brother has mentioned to me many times that Young Master Zheng is the absolute number one among the younger generation today. Please sit down." He is a member of the Song clan.
The main war faction has always hoped to establish a dynasty dominated by southerners, and pays close attention to the situation in the world.
Zheng Xie smiled and said, "Uncle Lu is too polite."
After the four people sat down, Song Zhi asked: "Young Master Zheng went to the mountain city this time. Why?"
Zheng Xie looked at Song Yuzhi affectionately and silently, and said: "I fell in love with Miss Yuzhi at first sight, and we fell in love with each other. We have already agreed to a white-headed alliance. This time I went to the mountain city to propose marriage to the Lord Song, hoping that the Lord could marry Yuzhi.
Betrothed to me."
"puff!"
Song Yuzhi spit out a mouthful of tea. (To be continued...)
