The Gate of Catastrophe appeared in southern Xinjiang. In just two days, the news seemed to be like a plague, spreading rapidly through the world.
This kind of communication is very interesting. It seems to be done in secret to prevent people from panicking.
In two days, many changes took place in the human world.
The first big change was that the current emperor, the playboy prince Zhao Shilin and his father, issued thirty-seven troop deployment orders and fifteen conscription orders in the inner courtyard of the palace in two days.
Zhao Shiqu is the eldest son of Zhao Gui, King of Hanyang, and the cousin of Zhao Shilin. Zhao Gui died of illness four years ago, and Zhao Shiqu inherited his father's title.
This pretty boy who once recited sour poems on the Yangtze River in an attempt to woo Yang Shijiu has gained some masculinity after years of training.
Zhao Shiqu received the order immediately, ordering Zhao Shiqu, King of Hanyang, to lead an army of one million and two hundred thousand troops to garrison at Yingzui Cliff in the Qixing Mountains in southwestern Hunan within fifteen days.
Now Zhao Shiqu can be said to be in dire straits, even if he found Yang Ershi, the largest local rich man in Jiangnan Road.
Yang Shijiu's younger brother Yang Twenty-six ordered all merchant ships of the Yang family to immediately go down the Yangtze River to help Zhao Shiqu transport troops and grain.
Standing on the dock of Hanyang City, Zhao Shiqu looked at Qianfan Competition and said in a deep voice: "Brother Yang, thanks to your Yang family's help this time."
Yang Ershi smiled and said: "What is our relationship? I heard that if my 19th sister hadn't gone to Cangyun Mountain back then, you might have been my brother-in-law. This little busyness is nothing."
Zhao Shiqu patted Yang Ershi on the shoulder and said, "Get ready."
Yang Twenty said: "What?"
Zhao Shiqu said: "The catastrophe that has been rumored for two years has really come. My brother is unlucky. He was appointed as the forward camp by the emperor's uncle. I'm afraid he will never come back. Most of your Yang family's industries are concentrated in Jiangnan.
Road and Jiannan Road, hurry up and get ready to retreat across the board."
Yang Ershi's face slowly darkened. Now his father has handed over all the pillar industries of the Yang family to him, the only male, in the past few years. Especially after the poisoning incident of the Cangyun Sect elder last year,
Yang Ershi has matured a lot.
He said: "Your Majesty, the army that has set off by water and land in the past two days has a total of 1.2 million people. They are all well-trained elites, with strong soldiers and horses. What should you be afraid of?" Zhao Shiqu shook his head and smiled bitterly, "
1.2 million? Haha, uncle Huang has been giving me conscription orders these days, asking me to control the 33 states in Jiangnan Province. These 1.2 million soldiers are just the vanguard battalion. I have ordered 33 soldiers this morning.
Soldiers from all the garrison stations in the prefecture began to gather. Thirty-three prefectures, 172 counties, more than 2,000 garrison stations of various sizes, and 670 male reserves over the age of 16 could be mobilized.
Thousands of people, these reservists who have been training at the military station for two years will be assembled within three months. I have just received news that the five ethnic groups in southern Xinjiang have begun to move northward.
We are moving to the Central Plains. The entry points seem to be mainly concentrated in Yingzui Cliff. Food must be sufficient. Now the Dongting Lake Fleet is transporting weapons in the North Sea. My rear area and logistics supplies will be left to you. My commander
The tent is located at Laojun Mountain in Dongting Lake..."
When Yang Ershi heard this, his face became a little darker and he said: "My lord, tell me everything. A catastrophe is coming to southern Xinjiang?"
Zhao Shiqu nodded. Yang Shiqu said: "I understand, the past two years have been good years, and the food reserves are sufficient. Not to mention the imperial palace's Taiping warehouse and Guangping warehouse are full. The food reserves of my Yang family alone are...
Enough to feed your tens of millions of troops for several years. Leave the food and logistics transportation to me, but you have to promise me that you will survive.
Come back soon. You are a scholar, not a general. You can just supervise the battle from the rear. If you can't do it, just run away. Do you understand running away?"
Zhao Shiqu smiled bitterly and said: "Run away? Uncle Huang gave me a death order. If I can't defend Yingzui Cliff, I don't have to go back. It's getting late, I have to leave."
After saying that, Zhao Shiqu, escorted by hundreds of soldiers, boarded the last boat and headed towards Dongting Lake.
Farewell to Zhao Shiqu under the setting sun, Yang Ershi mounted his horse and prepared to return to Hanyang City.
As soon as I arrived at the foot of Langya Mountain, I saw the nuns from Jishi Temple at the foot of the mountain and the cultivators from the Langya Immortal Sect on the mountainside gathering together.
The entire foot of Langya Mountain was filled with cultivators from both sects, numbering as many as four to five thousand.
Yang Shijiu was very aware of the relationship between Yang Shijiu and Ouyang Caiyu, so Yang Shijiu also had some contacts with the Langya Immortal Sect over the years.
Seeing that Ouyang Caiyu was counting the people in a heroic manner, Yang Ershi turned around and galloped towards that direction. Ouyang Caiyu was a resolute master. More than two years ago, Ouyang Bai reported the matter of Langya Immortal Sect.
Leave it to her to handle, and through Ouyang Caiyu's several reforms, the shortcomings of the Langya Immortal Sect's family inheritance were gradually eliminated, and the Langya Immortal Sect developed rapidly in just two years.
fierce.
Seeing Yang Ershi coming with a few guards, Ouyang Caiyu stepped forward to greet him.
Yang Shi said: "Sister Ouyang, what are you doing?"
Ouyang Caiyu said: "You should have known this for a long time. Didn't I hear that you have been helping King Hanyang dispatch troops and generals in the past two days?"
Yang Ershi said: "Do you want to leave too? If you leave Hanyang, this will be an empty city."
Ouyang Caiyu spread his hands and said: "There is nothing we can do about it. Now Cangyun Sect has begun to integrate all the righteous factions in Jiangnan, Jiannan, Lingnan, Hanzhong, Bashu and other places, whether they are Taoists or Buddhists, are now gathering and integrating."
Yang Ershi asked: "Are you also going to Yingzui Cliff?" Ouyang Caiyu shook his head and said: "No, we are going to gather in Yuanmou. Hundreds of sects, large and small, are gathered together. There are Buddhist sects and Taoist sects, just like a plate of loose sand.
, we are going to conduct training and run-in in Yuanmou Valley, and practice several formations suitable for large-scale operations. By the way, Nineteen sent me a message last night, asking me to inform you that I will arrange for my family to go to Cangyun Mountain recently.
, you are all relatives of the Cangyun Sect. As long as you live in the Cangyun Sect, you will be safe. Now that all the troops and cultivators in Jiangnan Road have been spared, it is too dangerous to continue to stay here. Let’s take care of the female relatives first.
After moving away with the child, Nineteen has already said hello to her master Zui Taoist."
Only then did Yang Ershi realize the seriousness of the matter.
His Nineteenth Sister is a violent maniac. Now even the Nineteenth Sister has no confidence in this catastrophe. Asking him to move his family to Cangyun first shows that this catastrophe that has been spread for two years will only be worse than
It was a hundred times more serious than I had expected before.
He nodded and said: "I will send my parents, Wan'er, children, and those sisters to Cangyun Mountain early tomorrow morning, but I can't leave. I just promised Zhao Shiqu to help him protect the rear and logistics supply lines." Ouyang
Seeing that the team was almost assembled, Caiyu nodded and said: "When you grow up, you can be on your own, but you have to be careful. You are the nineteen-year-old in your family who can't let go of you the most. If there is any danger, hurry up and go to Cang Cang."
