Chapter 202 Entering the Yai (Part 1)

In May, the weather has changed from warm to hot again, and it is another year of spring and summer.

For several days, the weather was clear. Whether in Jingzhou or Shuzhong, they were bathed in bright sunshine. The sky was blue and the sun was dazzling. The wild flowers on the roadside were dotted with the tender green wild grass.

At the junction of Jingzhou and Jiaozhou, in a city with Fengyang, many soldiers were patrolling the streets.

Passers-by will be inspected by soldiers when they want to enter and exit the city gate. Although the atmosphere here is not tense, it is also affected by the upcoming new round of war.

Ding Huchen's troops, who had been recuperating for a while, were stationed here at this time.

Ding Huchen was not famous at first, but could only be regarded as a general. He had been fighting against the mountain tribes in Shu. As the commander-in-chief of the mountain tribe's flag soldiers, he was awarded the title of General Pingman by Wang Hongyi.

However, after entering Jiaozhou at the small road and attacking the two counties of Jingnan, the army besieged Zheng Pingyuan's troops, Ding Huchen's reputation gradually spread.

Many princes knew that there was this person under Wang Hongyi’s account!

Although most of the soldiers under his tent were mountain flag soldiers and were rough-minded, Wang Hongyi had always been strict in military discipline. Although Ding Huchen did not care about the details, he still strictly followed the military discipline.

Fengyang City is next to the Jiaozhou County, Wuming County, and its capital is Guangxin County. Xie Mu, Gaoyao, Fengyang, Linhe, Duanxi, Fengcheng, Fuchuan, Lipu and Mengling all belong to Wuming County.

Wuming County is considered a big county in the territory of Jiaozhou.

Ding Huchen advanced from Jingzhou. If he conquered Jiaozhou, Wuming County would definitely be taken down first. However, Wuming County's defense has always been strong, and it is not easy to attack this county.

Relying on Linhe and Fengyang, both of them were beaten down by Ding Huchen.

When will we continue to march next, we have to wait for Ding Huchen to rest.

The army was stationed in Fengyang, ready to find an opportunity to pounce deep in Jiaozhou.

The actual leaders of the counties in Jiaozhou were either ready to defend against the Chu army's invasion, or hesitated and ready to surrender at any time.

Although the general situation has been achieved, only ten thousand troops will really fight, and it will not be an easy battle.

When it comes to territory, Jiaozhou is greater than Jingzhou. When it comes to strength, Jingzhou cannot be rich and stable, and is relatively deserted, but this matter is difficult here. There are many chieftains in it. If it had not been developed for a long time, the tribes could not be considered ethnic groups, and perhaps they would have to sacrifice the Eight Banners system again.

Such a place is a difficult bone to chew, and it takes a lot of effort to chew it down in one bite.

Ding Huchen has a heavy task, and it is obvious that only by fighting can one achieve military achievements.

Only with military achievements can soldiers and generals be promoted and wealthy, and return home in a rich manner.

During this period, although the army was resting in Fengyang, Ding Huchen was not idle. He kept sending his own detailed works to sneak into various parts of Jiaozhou, and constantly delivering the inquired information to his hands to analyze the situation and prepare for the attack.

At the same time, Ding Huchen did not forget to spread some fake information in Fengyang and create fog bombs to mislead the generals of Jiaozhou counties.

On May 5th, the weather is clear and cloudless.

That afternoon, a mansion in Fengyang City, as the temporary general's mansion, in the meeting hall, Ding Huchen reunited and convened the generals to discuss various matters of attacking Jiaozhou.

After obeying the orders of his corps, they were all old soldiers and generals left by the vassal states. These people were good at fighting and thought they had been unknown for the rest of their lives. But they didn't expect the young master to have a great future. Not only did they sweep across Shu, but now they swept across Jingzhou, and their future was bright. These old soldiers and generals of the old generals immediately aroused their blood. When they heard that there was a war to fight, they wanted to attack immediately, make more contributions, and win a wife and son.

And after several months of cultivation, the three flags in the mountains have also recovered.

"Everyone, please be careful, please be anxious! Please be anxious!" Ding Huchen first watched his subordinates' passionate discussions until they were almost finished, and then he started to drink and talk.

At the same time, his hand raised slightly, and with his voice and movements, the chamber gradually became quiet.

The Pingman General Ding Huchen, who was sitting in the upper position, was wearing a handsome robe and covered with fine armor, looking majestic.

His bright eyes were half-closed at this time, really like a tiger.

Ding Huchen, who was with the mountain flag soldiers and commanding them to fight continuously, did not mean that he was a harsh and unaccommodating general.

The reason why he sent Ding Huchen to the mountain tribe to be a general instead of sending others over was that Wang Hongyi was interested in Ding Huchen not only had the character of an orthodox soldier, but also had natural majesty and kindness, which could subdue the mountain tribesmen who were rough and unwilling to discipline.

Facts have proved that Wang Hongyi has a good vision.

Although the flag soldiers in the mountains were rough, they were quite obedient under Ding Huchen's tent.

As soon as Ding Huchen opened his mouth, all the generals who were still calling for the attack to make contributions. They naturally closed their mouths and looked at Ding Huchen in the upper position.

"Everyone, everyone has seen the situation in Jiaozhou. There is no general trend, but due to the vast territory and many tribes, it is a trivial job."

"We will raise troops for a thousand days and use troops for a while. The king will unify Jiaozhou. This is our mission."

"There are almost the same old places here. You will conquer counties and counties one by one, and there will be sporadic parcels. The chieftains who dare to resist will be handled according to the old rules. You can take half of the goods and choose one-tenth of the people."

"The king has already said that after finishing this time, you can go back and receive the title of several flags."

"There are you guys, you just now, right? If you have a loud thunder and a little rain during the attack, you will become cowards, then I will not forgive you - don't lose the old coach's face."

"You are all old generals, and you are old. After fighting this battle, I will ask you for merits from the king. Those who have made great contributions will be awarded titles and those who have made little contributions will be awarded official positions. Let's fight for your wife and sons in your family to have a family business, so you won't have to worry about food and drink in the future!"

As soon as Ding Huchen said something, the people present burst into laughter.

The few people who were named by Ding Huchen were blushed when they were said, and under the gaze of their colleagues, they shouted: "General, don't worry! At that time, a certain family will definitely not be a coward, and go back to compete for a title!"

"Please rest assured, General, you will definitely try your best to kill the enemy!"

"There are no cowards under the general's account!"

"Haha! Good! Ambition! Ambition! I am worthy of being my son! Very good!" Ding Huchen nodded with satisfaction after hearing their words.

A pair of bright and energetic eyes looked at others and asked loudly: "Where are you? Do you have the confidence to conquer Jiaozhou and make contributions to the king?!"

"Please give the order from the general! Some family is willing to be a pioneer!" Hearing Ding Huchen's question, the generals and schoolmen knelt on the ground to ask for battle, and the atmosphere reached a climax!

"Okay! I am the general who is a division of troops!" Seeing this, Ding Huchen grew up from his seat, waved his hand with great momentum, and said loudly.

Then he signaled the person beside him to step forward.

The man immediately took a step forward, pulled away the red cloth that had been covering the wall, and immediately exposed the Jiaozhou map drawn inside - the division of troops began.

At the same time, Xiangyang City in May has a suitable climate, prosperous and beautiful.

Because the temporary capital of the King of Chu was established here, Xiangyang City at this time was more dazzling than before.

The inner city has been repaired and looks quite large.

In the area where the people in the outer city live, the streets have been repaired and widened, and the shops on both sides of the street have been standardized. Although the requirements are not high, they only require the cleanliness and tidy around the shops. After a whole circle, the old city of Xiangyang has changed its appearance and has the feeling of a big city.

Every day, the city defense army would ride horses by the streets, but unlike the previous soldiers, although the generals and soldiers of the King of Chu were not considered unsuccessful, at least they would not disrupt the order and plunder at will.

This alone has already made the people of Xiangyang feel very satisfied.

Because Jingzhou was unified, trade exchanges in Jingnan and Jingbei became smooth again.

Not only that, the trade between Jingzhou and Shuzhong has more frequent exchanges.

When Jingshu is peaceful, the business road will flourish. This is a natural thing. The government can obtain a large amount of tax revenue to fill the vault in the more frequent trade transactions.

This is a win-win situation, and it is something that both parties are happy to see.

Teams of caravans traveled between Jingnan, Jingbei and Shu, making the lives of the people in the three places better.

Many poor people have gained more work options due to the prosperity of their trade routes, and they can give past caravans and get rewards.

With government relief alone, the poor will not decrease, and the development of business will promote the improvement of people's lives.

Wang Hongyi was naturally happy to see this situation and also gave the same treatment to the merchants in Jingzhou and Shuzhong.

Born in Shuzhong, Wang Hongyi did not give much preferential treatment to Shuzhong. In the competition of trade, excessive intervention by the government will only make domestic trade more pathological.

A single-superior team will never benefit domestic development, and it is not what Wang Hongyi wants.

On that day, businesses opened their doors early, and the entire street was filled with city. People passing by like ants were shouting.

At this time, a Taoist priest was slowly walking, followed by a few young Taoist priests, and went up the street with the bustling crowds.

After getting to the bridge and staying, he looked back and saw that this Taoist priest was Taoist Depu.

Taoist Depu looked at it, with a smile on his face, murmured to his disciples, "I took you here once last time in Xiangyang. It's been seven years in a blink of an eye, and the situation is very different."

Behind was a young Taoist, wearing a Taoist uniform, clean and spotless. After hearing this, he smiled slightly and had a calm and outgoing temperament. He said calmly: "Master, this is a good thing. The true king comes out, and Wanyexing, Master, I am not pretending to be the true king. What I have seen and heard, the King of Chu is really worthy of the appearance of the true king."

"Yes, but the grassland is the secret ordered by the master. When we come here, your master went to the grassland with one of your family. Don't you feel that you missed the opportunity?"

The young man smiled faintly and said, "Disciple believes in the master and his own vision... There is a restaurant in front of him, master. It's getting late, let's go up?"

Taoist Depu looked up and saw a wine shop in front of him, which had three floors, and couldn't help but smile.

After entering, the downstairs were noisy, so the two of them went upstairs, seeing the screens separated by each other and the elegant seats were still empty.

I ordered the dishes now. Taoist priests in this world are different from the earth. They do not avoid meat. After seeing the order, they withdrew. Taoist genius Depu said to his disciples: "Jinqing, this time I found a way to enter the ban. It is our opportunity. You must perform well."

Taoist Depu cannot take office in person, of course, this disciple needs to complete it.

Jinqing smiled slightly: "Master, don't worry!"
Chapter completed!
