Huaibei County, adjacent to the north of Qingyang County, also faced the invasion of Sichuan County. Unlike Li Longji who was seeking death, Huaibei County was really aggrieved and suffering.
One of the eighteen bandits entrenched in the east of Huaibei County, the fifth-level strongman Wang Chao Zhong.
I don't know what happened to his brain. After occupying Donghuai County, maybe he felt that the Huaibei Army failed to put any pressure on him, so he felt a little distracted for a while and wanted to find someone more powerful to attack.
Inexplicably, he led an army of 50,000 people and a fifth-level warlock from Taiping Dao into Sichuan Zhong County and attacked a coal mine in the mountains.
What's even more shocking is that in just a coal mine, tens of thousands of troops are hidden, and two mysterious fifth-level masters are stationed there.
In a great battle, the fifth-level strongman Wang Chao lost all his armor. Not only did most of the 50,000 people die, but he himself was also injured.
After escaping back to Donghuai County, the Marquis of Chuanzhong ordered his general Kuicang, the fifth rank, and his eldest son Zhang Daochen to personally lead an army of 100,000 people into the northern territory of Huaihe on the grounds of revenge.
In a great battle, Donghuai County was defeated, and the powerful Wang Chao Zhong led tens of thousands of defeated troops to flee into the interior of Huaibei County.
After the Central Sichuan Army occupied Donghuai County, they followed up in pursuit and seized the city and territory along the way. The Marquis of Huaibei was so angry that he cursed him for being shameless.
However, Huaibei County is weak, with only five counties and 200,000 defenders. Facing the southwestern hegemon Sichuanzhong County, it is really helpless.
Cangliang Mountain is located at the entrance of the Hengduan Mountains not far from Huaibei County. It is a large mountain that stretches for dozens of miles.
At this time, the 50,000 Sichuan Army that was chasing the powerful Wang Chao Zhong was camped at the foot of the mountain.
"Brother, we agreed to ask for military rations from the Marquis of Huaibei, but why did we change it to a marriage proposal? You are already engaged to Princess Anping!" Zhang Daoying, the second legitimate son of the Marquis of Chuanzhong, was wearing armor and entered with a puzzled look on his face.
Big account.
"Papa," he threw away his helmet, picked up a bottle of wine on the table, and drank directly from the bottle.
Zhang Daochen, the eldest son, was about to pour the wine. He looked at his brother's big, oily mouth and lost all sense of drink.
He threw the empty cup on the table and said calmly: "I'm not marrying you as the main wife, just a side wife!"
"A side room!" Zhang Daoying put down the wine bottle after hearing this and nodded: "A side room is fine, but it is rumored that Xuan Hongyi has an affair with Langya Marquis Li Wenhao.
Didn't you offend Li Wenhao for nothing by marrying her?"
"Li Wenhao is nothing, he's just a bastard. Two idiots, Yucha and Li Wenheng, fought against each other and got an advantage for nothing!" Zhang Daochen's face was gloomy and he stood up abruptly.
Jealousy arose in my heart. Among the four new young masters from the Central Plains, Beiqiao, Nangu, Xihao and Dongchu, the leader of them, Xihao, was Li Wenhao.
The eldest son of the most dignified family in the southwest was actually overpowered by a concubine.
In addition, at the Kyoto City Poetry Club, the third princess who was engaged to be married, Princess Anping, actually praised Li Wenhao in public, took out a book of Langya Hou Xinyu, and said a lot of weird things.
This made him feel like he was wearing a cuckold, how could he endure it.
He just wanted to steal Li Wenhao's old lover, and even let this lover, like a prostitute, receive guests.
When the news comes out, it will not only humiliate Li Wenhao, but also make him feel bad.
The second son, Zhang Daoying, said with a somewhat solemn face: "Brother, even so, this Li Wenhao has already become the Marquis of Langya, and has become a climate.
The latest news is that he has occupied Shacheng and other places. He also has strong generals such as sharpshooters and hundreds of thousands of troops.
Father also told us that we are currently plotting against Qingyang and Huaibei counties, so we should not provoke Li Wenhao.
Even when Li Wenhao raided our shop in Langya, my father didn't care. He even sent a message to his sister Susu and established a good relationship with Li Wenhao.
If you do this, if you really anger Li Wenhao and lead troops south, wouldn't you miss a big deal?"
"Hmph, Li Wenhao really dares to lead troops south. I don't want anything more than that. I want to show everyone in the world who is the number one son in the southwest!"
Zhang Daochen snorted coldly and threw out a letter with great arrogance: "Look at this, my father has changed his attitude and not only supports me in angering Li Wenhao.
He also promised to send more reinforcements, control the area connecting Huaibei County and Anqing County, and send troops to Langya to directly attack Heigucheng!"
"What, this is impossible, how could my father be so stupid as to start a war on three sides!" Zhang Daoying, the second son, looked in disbelief. He picked up the letter, opened it and looked at it carefully. The more he looked at it, the more surprised he became.
He lost his voice and said: "Sand Clan, this is actually what the Sand Clan means. Could it be that Li Wenhao destroyed the Sand Clan's stronghold in Mocheng?"
"It should be like this. Thanks to the support of the Sha Clan over the years, our Zhang family is what it is today. Therefore, my father cannot refuse the request of the Sha Clan!"
Zhang Daochen nodded at first, but then there was some jealousy on his face: "I have to say, this Li Wenhao is really lucky.
The main force of the Sand Clan in Mocheng went out to attack the city of Xiaoyue Kingdom, and this guy got a huge advantage for nothing."
Zhang Daoying put down the letter in his hand. At this time, he also calmed down and lowered his voice and said: "Brother, don't you think it's strange?
It's just a coal mine. Why are the Sand Clan so nervous? They sent tens of thousands of troops and two fifth-level powerhouses to protect it.
Dali Wang Chao Zhong is not a fool. He inexplicably led tens of thousands of troops to attack a coal mine at the risk of offending our Zhang family?
And Li Wenhao, Mocheng is just an oasis town in the desert. Is it worth offending the Sand Clan for such a small profit?
Since he has fought against the Sand Clan, it is impossible for him to not know the origin of the Sand Clan."
Zhang Daochen turned around sharply and stared at his younger brother in surprise: "You mean, there is something wrong with the Meishan coal mine?"
Zhang Daoying still lowered his voice and said: "There is a coal mine under Meishan Mountain. This is what the Sha tribe people themselves said. Has anyone seen it with their own eyes? Who can tell clearly what kind of mine it is?
After so many years, no matter how many refugees have been sent in every year, not a single living person has come out.
Even if there is a loss in mining, it won’t cost so many people. Isn’t this coal mine still eating people?”
"Hiss!" Zhang Daochen took a breath of air and looked at his brother in shock.
After a long time, he finally shook his head dejectedly: "That's it for now. The Sand Clan is too powerful and far beyond what we can provoke.
Even if you have doubts, you have to keep it to yourself, understand?"
"Yeah!" Zhang Daoying nodded dullly. Although he was unwilling to do so, he reluctantly handed over his hand: "I went out to be busy. The sentry just reported that Chao Zhong's handsome flag was found on a mountain peak."
"Go ahead, be careful of that fifth-level warlock from Taiping Dao!" Zhang Daochen waved his hand absently, and his brother's speculation made him extremely confused.
After leaving the tent, Zhang Daoying looked back, with deep disdain on his lips, and whispered softly: "Li Wenhao dares to attack the Sand Clan. You fear the Sand Clan like a tiger. For this reason, you are not as good as him!"
