As he finished speaking, Bian Yuehong suddenly felt a ray of light on his back. He felt the peeping eyes of the enemy troops around him. He turned around and looked, what a guy!
The enemy troops around him heard the shouting and moved towards him with all their strength.
Although he was escorted by his own soldiers, he did not dare to delay any longer and immediately took off his red shirt.
On the battlefield in the melee, the target loses its navigation as soon as the red robe is taken off.
Feng Tu was riding on a horse, guarded by his own soldiers, and focused on Bian Yuehong. As soon as the opponent took off his clothes, he aimed at the opponent's helmet: "The one wearing the silver helmet in front is Bian Yuehong, Annan's leader, who will catch him?"
Living here is the first achievement of this battle, and titles and titles are within reach!"
As soon as these words came out, in the melee between the two sides, the silver helmets should not be too conspicuous. The soldiers and horses from the palace immediately rushed towards him, especially the cavalry, who turned their horses and charged this way.
This scene frightened Annan's general Bian Yuehong to quickly take off his life-saving helmet and throw it far away, almost hitting one of his own guards.
Seeing with his own eyes that his bodyguard was knocked dizzy and fell off his horse, Bian Yuehong cursed in his heart, "It's so unlucky that you can't even drink water!"
I thought it would be fine if I took off the dazzling helmet, but I didn't want to take it off. He was surrounded by soldiers wearing helmets. He was just as conspicuous without a helmet.
Bian Yuehong found that the enemy troops were still coming towards him. He looked around and knew that he had done something stupid.
As a last resort, he could only grab the helmet of the guard next to him and put it on his head.
No matter how he transformed, Feng Tu would keep his eyes on him.
"The one in front who is not wearing a robe is the enemy's leader. Whoever takes his head will be the first to achieve success in this battle. He will be awarded an official title soon!"
After hearing this, Bian Yuehong almost fell off his horse. Seeing the guards protecting him fall down one by one, he was so excited that he almost broke his silver teeth!
How hateful!
Who is this enemy general pursuing him?
If given the chance, he would cut him into pieces and feed them to the dogs!
On the battlefield, the morale of the soldiers and horses of the royal palace was high, and they made great efforts to scatter the pursuing enemy troops in all directions. Bian Yuehong wanted to take advantage of the chaos to escape, but Feng Tu kept staring at him. In the end, he was captured after chasing for dozens of miles.
"Dayu is victorious!"
"Dayu is victorious!"
The soldiers of the royal palace who were clearing the battlefield and guarding the prisoners saw that the soldiers led by Feng Tu had captured Bian Yuehong and they all couldn't help but shout loudly.
Such a victory was something they could only dream about!
Especially the border troops, they always thought that Annan's soldiers were very resistant because they had never won in jungle and mountainous battles.
Annan's soldiers are like rats in the ground. If you kill one, several more will emerge from the ground. It always feels like they can't be exterminated no matter how hard you kill them.
This sticky feeling is so unpleasant!
But now, they not only wiped out the tenacious Annan soldiers and horses, but also captured many prisoners, and the most important thing was their generals.
This is the most exciting moment. In the past, they were always the ones getting beaten, but this time they can finally feel proud.
This victory is no accident, and there will be more victories waiting for them in the future.
They firmly believe that Dayu will be victorious!
This battle not only captured many Annan defeated soldiers, but also captured a lot of food and baggage. It happened that the palace was very poor in Lingnan, so these food and baggage just supplemented the shortage of the team.
Of course, the defenders in Xiangzhou, Liangshan, and Bianyuan were all wiped out by them, and it was certain that they would search for money, food, and population.
At this time, Xiang Rongrang truly understood what the princess meant by making war fortune.
It’s no wonder that Beidi in the north liked to come to the Yu Dynasty to thresh grass and grain. Who would want to work hard to farm when you can get property without having to work?
Bian Yuehong looked at the endless convoy, which was transporting their supplies from Annan, and the prisoners were also their Annan people and soldiers. At this moment, Bian Yuehong was desperate.
They were taken to Lingnan, and it was not known what King Qian of the Yu Dynasty would do with them.
However, no matter how they deal with it, their next fate will definitely be as miserable as possible!
The prisoners are also human beings. Not only are they desperate, but all the prisoners have no hope of being escorted to Lingnan, and their emotions are naturally broken.
After crossing the border, Xiang Rongrang released a messenger soldier from the prisoners.
In the anxious mood of the messenger, he said: "I can let you go back today, but when you go back, you have to help me bring a message to your king. You tell him: Anyone who offends me, Yu, will be punished no matter how far away he is.
!I have destroyed three of his cities. If he wants to come back again and again, just try, and if he angers our prince again, he may directly turn Annan into the land of Dayu next time!"
The messenger soldier couldn't believe it. After being captured, there was still a chance to let him go back. If he didn't seize this opportunity, he would be struck by lightning from the sky.
It's just a sentence, it's too simple.
The messenger tried to run up the mountain. When he turned around and saw that no one was chasing him, he became more courageous and ran as fast as he could!
Li Chengmu looked at the messenger soldier running desperately into the forest and asked hesitantly: "Will your warning really work?"
Xiang Rong looked at the mountains in the distance, took a deep breath, and said domineeringly: "If Annan doesn't listen to the warning, then we don't mind looting it again. Anyway, their rice in Annan is ripe three times a year, and we in Lingnan are short of food now.
"
Li Chengmu looked back at the soldiers who were happily rushing on their way. This atmosphere could rival the Chinese New Year.
Thinking of the nagging mother and concubine, the task was finally completed this time. Someone was finally doing the infrastructure construction in Lingnan, and there was no need to recruit civilian laborers.
On the way back, Li Chengzhan saw Bian sitting in the prison car and his eyes turned red with jealousy.
The annoyance in my heart!
Why is there no general as smart as Feng Tu in his team?
Look at Feng Tuduo in Xiao Wu's team. He is very smart. He stares directly at the enemy generals on the battlefield, which means he is clinging to his first success.
When I return to Lingnan Fucheng and present it to my father, what a great achievement!
I'm afraid that the combined merits of all their generals are not as high as Xiao Wu's!
He was the only one eating meat, while the others drank some soup.
"Xiao Wu has made great contributions this time. What reward will he ask for from his father?"
After hearing this, Li Chengmu's eyes lit up, and he said: "Thunder, rain, and dew are all your kindness. I will be happy no matter what reward you give me."
Li Chengzhan asked again sourly: "Xiao Wu is so open-minded, I think my father will not treat you badly."
Li Chengmu laughed loudly after hearing this: "I have gained a lot this time. Whatever my father gives me as a reward, I have earned it!"
Li Chengzhan felt his teeth sore after hearing what he said.
I accidentally picked it up, what are you showing off here!
He thought so in his heart, but he still stretched out his hand towards Feng Tu who was behind Xiao Wu, "Brother Feng, come on, let's shake hands."
Feng Tu didn't understand why the two grown men were shaking hands.
However, he couldn't refuse the second master of the palace, so he still extended his hand.
Li Chengzhan was overjoyed and hurriedly stretched out his hand to hold Feng Tu's hand. The two grown men held hands, and those who didn't know it thought they were brothers.
Li Chengzhan was very excited, "Thanks to your good luck, maybe next time I fight with the enemy, I can catch the leader of the thief and make great achievements."
The corner of Feng Tu's mouth twitched. Is it too late for him to withdraw his hand now?
The Jiankangnan court received an urgent military report from 800 miles away. It was only a small army from Annan that was invading, and it was within the fiefdom of King Qian of Lingnan. Compared with the rebels in Beidi and Yanzhou in Qingzhou, they were dwarfed.
!
The imperial court wanted to raise food and grass for the four-state coalition to encircle and suppress the rebels, and there were countless victims to settle, so the treasury was already clean enough to run away with the rats.
To be honest, it is not easy to be the emperor of the Southern Court, especially when the three-year disaster has just passed. The whole world cannot recover, even the population has dropped sharply, and the court cannot collect taxes. How can we support the normal operation of the entire court?
It can be said that the materials, money and food currently in the treasury cannot withstand the consumption of the soldiers of the Gyeonggi Battalion and the entire Jiankang City.
Regarding Lingnan's report, the new emperor was powerless and could only let King Qian control it himself.
As soon as the decree was issued, the new emperor sat at the royal desk, and an unprecedented sense of powerlessness swept through his body.
It's just that this news spread without causing much trouble on the surface, but secretly, many people still showed disappointment in the court.
What do the generals think of such an irresponsible court or emperor, whose territory is outside the border?
At the same time, more local powerful ministers and generals were making secret moves.
After King Qian received the news, he handed it to Xia Jing, "What does the princess think of this matter? The court allows me to freely raise food, grass, weapons, wages and other supplies on my own. Do you think I should take over their duties? Go ahead.
Have fun at sea and then come back.”
Xia Jing took the letter and read it again, "The imperial court allows you to do whatever you want and raise food and grass, which will make things easier for us."
"This good news has been sent. I think you should know the number of prisoners this time. Road construction is happening in Lingnan, so why not transfer these prisoners to the north to build cement roads?" She asked again.
"There are many rivers south of Fucheng. According to you, roads and bridges should not be paved and built south of the city?" When King Qian heard this, he was dissatisfied and immediately raised his voice.
Xia Jing shook her head: "They all have to be repaired, but they are not being repaired now. There is also a first-come, first-served basis for road construction. The rankings have been arranged, so we will go according to that ranking. There are many rich people in the area to the south. Maybe let them pay for it."
A small amount of money can help ordinary people relieve their stress."
The reason why we need to build the city north of Fucheng first is mainly to facilitate the traveling caravans, so that by opening up trade, a steady flow of materials can flow into Lingnan.
After the official handover of Annan's prisoners, they were all sent to build cement roads throughout Lingnan.
With more people and greater strength, the captives can be squeezed as much as possible, and the progress of road construction is visibly accelerating.
Several generals in the team received rewards, and several princes in the palace also rewarded them according to their military merits.
Among them, Li Chengmu made the greatest contribution. He captured the enemy general alive, which can be said to be his first achievement.
His son was not very interested in being promoted to an official position. Of course, it was not King Qian's style to not reward meritorious service. Finally, King Qian came up with a good idea.
"You all performed well this time and fought bravely to kill the enemy. Among them, Xiaowu has the greatest contribution. Based on the credit this time, I decided that Xiaowu can increase the number of private soldiers by 10,000, and the second, third, and fourth can increase the number of private soldiers.
Two thousand troops, whether you use prisoners or conscripts, as long as it does not exceed the standard, it will be fine."
Since the sons want to have power in their hands, it is better to increase the number of private armies for them according to their merits.
King Qian felt that his idea was brilliant, and his reward had been given to them. Whether they could expand to this number was beyond King Qian's control.
In this way, the team has expanded. If there is no supply of food and grass, it is none of his business. He can find a way!
If they dare not expand the army due to food and grass problems, they can only admit that they are unlucky, because King Qian gave them the opportunity, but they themselves did not seize it.
He is very familiar with this skill of scapegoating.
These sons of the palace are not people who only know how to give but not know how to take.
No, as soon as King Qian finished speaking, Li Chengzhan asked: "Father, there are a lot of supplies in the war this time. Since you asked us to expand our troops, how about sharing some of the supplies with us? How can we get some supplies?"
After the expansion, we can support the team for a month or two, right?"
King Qian: "."
This second guy doesn't have much ability, but he's pretty good at taking advantage of loopholes.
King Qian glanced at the two gentlemen, then at Xia Jing, and coughed slightly: "The materials are also distributed according to work. Those who work hard will get more, and those who work less will get less. When the materials are cleared, you will
You can go to the warehouse to get the supplies you deserve."
Xia Jing gave Li Chengzhan a thumbs up and praised him for being able to successfully pluck the wool out of the stingy Tie Ji Gong.
Li Chengzhan: "."
I thank you, don’t give me the thumbs up, lest you get resented!
As expected, although King Qian had the courage to distribute the supplies, he was definitely unhappy. Li Chengzhan received a displeased look from King Qian.
Li Chengzhan smiled bitterly, as expected, you have to pay for everything you get.
"Father, please give me more supplies. You may not know that the money I saved in the past has been almost spent on countering the rebellion on the border this time. If you don't support me more, my son will not be able to survive anymore!"
After hearing Xiao Wu's words, King Qian rolled his eyes at him, "Don't scare me here, or you may make my heart stop! If you need anything, go to your mother and concubine!"
Xia Jing rolled her eyes in her heart, "This is your son, and he doesn't have my last name. If he comes to you for help, you are obliged to help him free of charge."
After giving birth to a son, he wants to be a hands-off shopkeeper. He is just dreaming!
As a father, you have to take responsibility for this.
The next day, everyone in the house stared at the strict housekeeper of the palace, waiting for him to distribute supplies.
Xia Jing didn't know how long it would take for the supplies to be distributed, so she left the palace first.
She bought a lot of medicinal materials on the street, which were all necessary for her to prepare regular medicines.
After loading the carriage and preparing to drive to the military camp outside the city, Li Chengmu caught up with him.
When Xia Jing saw him coming on horseback, she asked with a smile: "Aren't you collecting supplies? Why do you have time to go shopping?"
Li Chengmu jumped off his horse and got into Xia Jing's carriage. As soon as he entered the carriage, he was whistling and fanning himself. It was too hot to ride a horse outside, so it would be more comfortable to ride in a carriage.
"There is no need for me to stay there for such a small matter as receiving supplies. Of course, someone will be responsible for it."
After saying that, he looked at Xia Jing and asked, "Where are you planning to go?"
"Military camp in the suburbs!"
"Then my son will go with you!"
Xia Jing smiled and nodded, "We may have to stay out for a few days. Do you have any unfinished business?"
