Accompanied by the generals, Zhao Ping inspected the progress of the training and was very satisfied all the way.
I was originally worried that the newly recruited troops would have many problems, but I found that the military discipline was good.
"Prefect, the quality of the 80,000 militiamen recruited this time is very good." Captain Zheng Chun smiled at the side, "Including our 10,000 regular county soldiers, there will be a total of 100,000. Once the war with the Han Kingdom breaks out,
The army can go out at any time."
"Yes! Captain Zheng is our most powerful general in Kang County. If the war between Liang and Han breaks out, he will surely make great achievements!" Zhao Ping nodded slightly.
"The prefect is the pillar of our Kang County!"
"Haha~ You and I both serve His Majesty, so we should work together!"
"What the prefect said is true! Chun must follow the prefect and guard Kang County for me, Daliang."
"There shouldn't be anything big happening in the military camp, right?"
"Don't worry, Grandmaster, the morale of the military camp is strong, and there are a hundred thousand soldiers and horses at your fingertips! It's just..."
"Just what?"
"It's just about military pay..."
Zhao Ping reached out and patted Zheng Chun on the shoulder: "Captain, don't worry, I will handle it as soon as possible."
"Thank you, Governor!"
"Let's go and take a look at the front."
"yes......"
Zhao Ping and Zheng Chun rode forward side by side, followed by Kang County's civil and military officials.
Whether it is a regular army barracks or a militia barracks still in training, they are all managed very strictly. Captain Zheng Chun is indeed a rare general.
To be honest, because of the conflict between Liang and Han, war may break out at any time. Most of the militiamen were forced to join the army and were full of resentment.
Zheng Chun was able to calm down the militia's resentment and actively participate in training in such a short period of time. This alone is extremely impressive.
What's more, the military pay for a hundred thousand troops is a terrible figure, and arrears are normal. It's just that the soldiers who are not paid are more resentful, and he still suppresses it, which is very difficult.
The prefect Zhao Ping was quite satisfied and was glad that he promoted Zheng Chun.
As we were marching forward, suddenly there was a strong wind.
The next moment, the team suddenly stopped, and the atmosphere in the military camp became uncomfortable.
"Why did you stop?" After the cold wind passed, Zheng Chun beside him and the civil and military officials behind him all tightened their reins, and Zhao Ping turned back in confusion.
Looking around, there were also many generals riding around.
Strangely, Captain Zheng Chun, who had been chatting and laughing with him before, suddenly turned gloomy.
Not only him, but other civil and military officials are also like this, giving people a lifeless feeling.
"Captain Zheng, why is this happening?" Zhao Ping vaguely felt something was wrong, but couldn't tell what was wrong, so he asked loudly.
However, Zheng Chun and the civil and military officials did not answer. They surrounded him and quickly removed the prefect from his horse and tied him up quickly.
"Bold! Stop it!" Zhao Ping tried to resist. He was no match for so many people. After a while, he was wrapped into a rice dumpling, placed on the back of the horse, turned around and walked to the other side. His mouth was also blocked, and he couldn't say anything.
Can't shout.
The civil and military officials led Zhao Ping on horseback and left the military camp. Captain Zheng Chun led his men to clean up the troops, as if nothing had happened.
Zhao Ping was hanging on the horse, his whole body was tightly tied up, and his mind was in a state of confusion.
Weren't you fine just now? Why are all of your men suddenly acting strangely?
He is the prefect and the highest official in Kang County. How dare they tie him up?
Moreover, where are we going after leaving the military camp?
He didn't understand what exactly happened from beginning to end.
He wanted to reprimand him harshly, but because his mouth was blocked and he couldn't make a sound, and he couldn't struggle to open it, he could only place his hope in the monk Wu Guan, hoping that he would come back soon.
However, after a long time, monk Wu Guan did not return. My heart skipped a beat, remembering the scene of ghosts flying everywhere in the sky just now.
Originally there was monk Wu Guan, who felt particularly relieved.
Not to mention the sudden appearance of ghosts, even if the Tiger Roar King from Tiger Roar Cave leads the demon soldiers to attack the city, there is nothing scary about it.
But it's just a ghost. Monk Wu Guan has been away for so long and hasn't been able to come back. I'm afraid things are not that simple.
In the blink of an eye, civil and military officials escorted the prefect and arrived near the vegetable market.
There was not a single common person in sight on the streets. They were flying everywhere above the city, so frightened that all the common people fled home to hide. Who dared to stay outside?
Next to the empty vegetable market is the guillotine specially used to process death row prisoners.
Coming here, Zhao Ping felt even more uneasy.
This is a very unlucky place. In the past, I would not be willing to come to execute prisoners. What’s more, the atmosphere feels unusual today?
I tried to get the civil and military officials to stop, but they could only make a "wow" sound from the horse's back.
When they arrived near the guillotine, they suddenly saw three people sitting in the execution area.
In the center was a beautiful young woman with a cold face and no trace of a smile. Two big men beside her stared coldly at her, and there were several officials accompanying her.
Zhao Ping was confused, what was the origin of these three people who looked so unfamiliar?
Why did the civil and military officials in Kang County suddenly rebel? What happened?
Could it be that he had committed something and His Majesty secretly sent someone to arrest him?
It shouldn’t be! Not to mention that I have done nothing to arouse His Majesty’s suspicion. Now is the time when Liang and Han are fighting. Kang County is very important to Your Majesty. There is no reason to attack me at this juncture. After all, temporarily changing the prefect will give him a lot of money.
Opportunities for Han.
So, the other party is from Han?
Not right either!
Although the war between the two countries breaks out at any time, there is no possibility of reconciliation between the two countries. But just now we saw thousands of ghosts breaking into the city. This approach is not in line with the style of the Han Dynasty.
The Han Dynasty respected Buddhism and was very disgusted with evil spirits and ghosts, and would never allow ghosts to go around wreaking havoc.
Speaking of monsters, the Tang State is well-known as a force that supports monsters. There are even many monsters in the country that have transformed into human forms to serve the Tang Emperor.
Could it be said that Tang Guo took advantage of the direct confrontation between Liang and Han to sneak in?
The problem is, this doesn't make sense either.
If Tang State wanted to intervene, it would not bypass Xi State.
Unless the Xi Kingdom signs an alliance with the Tang Kingdom, the Tang Kingdom's army can cross the Xi Kingdom's territory.
However, this is completely impossible. Zhang Zhe led his troops to capture the four states and had already offended Cheng Shun to the extreme. The two sides were incompatible with each other and it was impossible to sign an alliance.
It is even more impossible for Cheng Shun to let Zhang Che send troops across the border to attack Liang Guokang County...
Which force intervened? And what is its purpose?
Which country do the three people in front of me belong to, and how did they make all the civil and military officials in Kang County rebel?
Zhao Ping thought to himself that he was very courteous to his subordinates and had a good relationship with them, so there should be no problems with loyalty.
In this case, there is only one possibility - witchcraft!
Then the problem is back to the original point, which must be related to the sudden appearance of ghosts. Controlling ghosts is generally the specialty of the demon clan. The demon clan supports the Tang State, and it is impossible for the Tang State to bypass Xi Kingdom and attack Kang County...
The more I think about it, the more confused I become, and I can’t come up with a result. (To be continued)
