Lord of the Great Tribulation

Chapter 225 Entering the City

Zhengyang Fucheng.

The mighty Beijing camp entered the city, majestic and majestic, calming down some turbulent people at once.

"Your Majesty... Sun Xingyun, magistrate of Zhengyang, has met His Royal Highness King Jin."

The king of Jin rode into the city, saw the magistrate of Zhengyang, and greeted him with all the officials.

He frowned and shouted softly, "Take it!"

The tigers and wolves waiting on both sides immediately rushed forward, knocked off the black hat of the prefect of Zhengyang, and tied him up.

Seeing this scene, the other kneeling officials didn't even have the courage to speak up for their superiors. Instead, they were sweating profusely and trembling with fright.

This is the authority of the unified feudal dynasty, life and death are at the whim of the superior.

Sun Xingyun's face turned pale, but he remained silent.

Seeing this scene, the King of Jin was quite satisfied: "Anyway... You have brought out a rebel army under your rule, but you have been unable to eradicate it for a long time. A crime of dereliction of duty cannot be escaped, so let's detain it first!"

He asked again, "Where is the same knowledge?"

"Your Majesty, Chunyu Qin, pays homage to His Highness the King of Jin!"

A middle-aged civil servant knelt out. Although his face was pale, he still maintained his official appearance.

"Well, you are the deputy of the magistrate, and you are directly acting as the magistrate's affairs at this time... I rely on you for our army's crusade and logistics supply. The magistrate is still miserable!"

Sun Xingyun was actually wronged, but who made an accident happen under his rule?

Chun Yuqin understood this, knew that this was an opportunity, but also a risk.

Once it is done well, the prefect's position is a certainty, and he has entered the Jin Wang's eyes, and the future is limitless.

But in case of failure, there is no need to talk about the fate.

At this moment, I didn't even think about it, I gritted my teeth and said, "Even if I work hard, I will still manage the errand of the prince..."

"Very good!"

King Jin nodded, and said to a general next to him: "General Huang, the lonely king is just an overseer, and I will leave the battle to you."

"Please rest assured, Your Highness."

The bronze-faced General Huang Ba responded, knowing his identity and mission very well.

This time, if the battle is successful, the King of Jin will naturally be given a special mention, and if something goes wrong unfortunately, he will be responsible for it himself. This is also the emperor's love for his son.

Although I know it, I have nothing to say. Instead, I must try my best to get the job done.

"Well……"

Jin Wang smiled and entered the city with General Huang Ba, and entered the house that had been prepared, Jin Wang couldn't wait to ask: "What can the general teach me?"

"In this battle, we should not seek speed, but stability."

Huang Ba stroked his beard and ordered someone to send a map: "We have [-] soldiers from the state and [-] soldiers from the capital. People eat and chew horses, and the cost is huge... If you enter the mountain, Bailiang Mountain is wide and deep, and even the rebels will drag you along." We are dead... The general thought that we should fight steadily, deploy heavy troops in the counties around Bailiang Mountain, block all the mountain roads, kill all the merchants, and make sure not to let a grain of rice, a grain of salt, a foot of cloth, or a catty of iron enter the mountain... ..."

The lack of materials in mountainous areas, especially the lack of salt, is indeed a desperate plan.

"It is indeed a good plan." Jin Wang looked at the map and nodded: "Gu Wang reads the history books, there was chaos in southern Xinjiang in the past, General Long used this method to suppress the rebellion, and the previous dynasty, the same... It's just that the father is worried about the country, and I, the son of man, have to share his worries."

This means that the emperor is a little anxious to calm down.

"I mean, at the same time as the blockade, send a small team into the mountains to fight a war of attrition with the mountain people... The soldiers are expensive and the elite are not expensive. The main reason is to gain experience in mountain warfare. After they are proficient, they will be compiled into a mountain battalion, or It can be done."

King Jin took a few steps and said suddenly.

"It's a good strategy. With this two-pronged approach, there is no chance of a comeback for the mountain people."

Huang Ba praised.

In fact, he had thought of this strategy a long time ago, but he didn't say it on purpose, with some unfinished thoughts, King Jin really brought it up.

It is the duty of a courtier to take advantage of the situation and make a contribution to King Jin.

"The general trend is in my hands. If I fight hard, no one in the court will be afraid."

The king of Jin sneered and said: "The lonely king will offer a reward again. The team that enters the mountain to fight will be rewarded with five taels of silver for every mountain resident's head cut off!"

When the battle reaches the point where it is more worthy of death than anyone else, it is no longer an endgame, but a dead end.

The mountain people died one by one, but the imperial army continued to flow.

"King Jin's plan is great... There is only one thing to worry about now, and that is monsters." Huang Ba said, this is a variable.

"The lonely king has also recruited some Taoists, which may be useful this time... Besides, if the mountain people jump off the wall in a hurry and go out to fight, what should we do?"

King Jin asked.

"Haha... how many mountain people are there? If you dare to come out of the mountain to invite a battle, then we will decide in one battle. Letting them all be annihilated is the best result. Even if there are monsters, tens of thousands of troops besiege and kill them, they will die completely ."

Huang Ba laughed.

At this moment, Chunyuqin, the new acting prefect, asked to see him.

"Let him in."

King Jin's eyebrows moved, and he had a premonition.

I saw Chun Yuqin trotting all the way, not even caring about his official demeanor, holding a piece of information in his hand: "His Royal Highness King Jin... the latest information, the bandit leader Wang Shun, seems to have the intention of coming out of the mountain!"

King Jin and Huang Ba looked at each other, both feeling a little unreal and dreamy.

Then Wang Shun, is he a fool?
Or did it win again and again before, and it swelled?
With thousands of mountain people, they dared to go out to fight against the [-] imperial army. Even the king of Jin had to write him a word of "service".

……

At this time, outside the Fucheng.

When the army entered the city, martial law naturally began, but a person suddenly came outside the city gate.

"Who is coming?"

The soldiers defending the city immediately bent their bows and set up arrows, shouting and asking.

"King Jin's staff, Zhou Zhu! This is the token!"

Zhou Zhu held a gold medal high and handed it to the team for inspection. Only then was he able to pass through the city gate and arrive at the temporary residence of King Jin.

As soon as he entered, he felt that the atmosphere was tense and very strange.

"Sun Guanshi, what happened? I want to see the prince!"

Zhou Zhu stopped a familiar steward and asked.

"It turned out to be Mr. Zhou Da, and things are going well?" Steward Sun replied with a smile, and at the same time explained: "My lord is very busy today... I just entered the city, and I got the news that Wang Ni was out of the mountain, and I am talking to everyone. The general is discussing the military, if Mr. Zhou Da is not important, it is best not to disturb him."

This was Zhou Zhu. If it had been anyone else, he wouldn't have bothered to remind him.

"Thank you steward, I understand..."

Zhou Zhu's face sank like water.

It cannot be said that the monster information he obtained was useless, but it was too late.

How could that rebel Wang Shun dare to go out to fight? Who gave him the courage?

It's just such a good opportunity, the prince will never let it go.

Even if monsters come out in force, it is the best time to catch them all!
'only……'

Zhou Zhu touched the inspiration bead secretly, and found that the bead became more active.

"This bead... I'm afraid it can convert disasters into spiritual energy... It's so active now, I'm afraid it's very ominous, but I can't use it to talk about things..."

In Zhou Zhu's heart, a large haze suddenly emerged.
