Chapter 12: The Bandit

"Dong, dong, dong, dong, dong, dong, dong, ,,,,!"

Ji Xing was staying in the palace, in the bamboo house where he loved, and suddenly he heard a dense drumbeat sound!

Suddenly, I didn't know what happened, but when I heard the constant sound of drums, Ji Xing gradually came back to his senses from the memory of King Qi, and knew that it was uploaded from the city gate nearest to the palace and the city tower!

At first, he was surprised and came back to his senses in an instant, because Ji Xing naturally realized what happened!

"Damn it! Is my luck really so good?,,,,,,,"

At this time, looking at the direction where the drum beats sounded, although I didn't see any movement, I didn't know what was going on. But Ji Xing felt nervous and even murmured to himself: "Can those bandits really dare to come to Qichang Mansion and attack the mansion directly?"

Whether it is as good as the auspicious star thinks, the drum sounds in Qichang Mansion are actually on the four towers of the city.

Because there are loud drums on each city gate on all sides of Qichang Mansion. Usually, this kind of three-meter-diameter drum is placed on the city towers everywhere. The real function is to be similar to the beacon towers on the border, which are used to transmit and warn.

When soldiers on the city tower find foreign enemies coming to invade under the city or inside and outside the city. Or if there is a major event outside the city, remind the people in the city in advance and the soldiers defending each gate in advance!

Why did Jixing think so when he heard the drum sound at this time? Because in the memory of King Qi, he had only been to Qichang Mansion for two years, but this similar warning had actually sounded several times! As the capital of the Han Dynasty, Qichang Mansion felt insecure at all!

Now the drums on the other side of the city tower are listening to such a dense sound. It seems that what we encounter at this time must be not simple! Even if the lucky star is calm, but when encountering such a sudden incident, I still feel a little uneasy!

Although Qichang Mansion is close to the border, it is easy and impossible to attack Qichang Mansion City immediately if there is an enemy country or other foreign enemies attacking the border.

After all, there are military camps everywhere in the Han Dynasty, and the city towers have always been patrolling soldiers. A thing happened near the Qichang Mansion that year, which even almost subverted the Han Dynasty, but in the end it was destroyed by the imperial court!

Although the big incident happened that year, although King Liu Jixing of Qi was still young, he later came to Qichang Mansion and heard Li Changshi Li Yu say that this was the biggest thing that has happened near the city of the palace. The King of Qi had the right and had to know it.

However, after knowing this, the King of Qi was still frightened for a while! Because in the memory of the King of Qi who had heard of it, something happened not far from Qichang Mansion, near Luofu Mountain, a Taoist blessed land, which was enough to make Lingnan prosperous.

Although many people in the Han Dynasty may not have cared about it afterwards, at least one-third of the people involved were involved!

A local minor official who claimed to be Zhang Yuxian claimed to have met a god near Luofu Mountain and then formed an organization. Because there were many believers and even supported it, this person later established the Eight Kingdoms of Zhongtian, rose rapidly near Luofu Mountain, and became a country in a dignified manner.

When the third prince of King Qi, Liu Yan, was reigned. Later, the eight kingdoms of Zhongtian developed hundreds of thousands of people and led their troops to rebel in Lingnan and the court. Although they gave Liu Sheng an opportunity to take advantage of it, they put great pressure on Liu Yan. In the end, Zhang Yuxian failed to achieve power, but almost damaged the foundation of the Han Dynasty!

Although Zhang Yuxian had a reason for separatism, he was still driven out of Lingnan later. According to King Liu Jixing of Qi, the uprising was that the people who were in the rebels had insufficient weapons and lacked the confidence to truly accomplish great things. Finally, with the support of a group of bandits, they retreated near Qianzhou of Southern Tang.

It was at this time that they were close to Lingnan Prefecture, which belonged to the marginal territory of the Southern Tang and Han Kingdoms, and truly established the Eight Kingdoms of Zhongtian. This short-lived force was inexplicably extended between the Tang Kingdom, the largest regime in the south and the Han Kingdoms of Lingnan!

This allusion is a bit scary. Although this regime was later wiped out by the Southern Tang and the Han Kingdom. However, the remaining remnants were rumored to be scattered and hidden in the nearby countryside, becoming a hidden danger to the border between the two countries!

In the memory of King Qi, when he first arrived at Qichang Mansion, there was no sign of danger. But unexpectedly, shortly after he sat down in Qichang Mansion, a powerful bandit came to Qichang Mansion with momentum to invade!

Recalling the fact that this group of bandits with a large number of people was eventually repelled by the soldiers of the mansion, they still felt the destruction near Qi Chang Mansion in the memory of King Qi, which still made people feel a little chill!

In this era of cold weapons, although these bandits could not directly attack cities and land like the imperial court, they would rush to attack cities and land like the wind, but they definitely had their own advantages, that is, they could come and go like the wind! Even in Jixing's opinion, if there were internal supporters in the city, it would be even more desolate.

The small gang has a strong mobility and comes with purpose, which naturally makes people a little unexpected. Jixing doesn't have a deep understanding of this, so when he thinks about the dilemma faced by King Qi, he feels like a mess at this time.

To eliminate such bandits, unless they have their own cavalry, they can crush them at any time, or directly and quickly strangle them, they can have real results! Otherwise, they will never be able to catch up with them, such a group of bandits with such strong mobility.

In the Han territory in Lingnan, due to the terrain, the imperial court itself did not have many cavalry. Moreover, the capital like Qichangfu was more difficult to move in the mountainous areas. Even though there were standard cavalry troops, the actual cavalry was not more than twenty people.

It seems like a joke, but because of the characteristics of Lingnan, the Han Kingdom of Lingnan has always had a giant elephant commander. As a commander of the horse army, it is an important position in the army, so it will naturally match the elephant army throughout the country. However, today's Qichang Mansion does not seem to be enough.

There are naturally some elephant soldiers in Qichang Mansion, but because Qichang Mansion is located in a mountainous area, it is not very strong to have a sense of real crisis. Even if there are elephant soldiers, it is only a scene now.

In addition, since the elephant soldiers sent from the capital, since they were far away from the Xingwang Mansion, these elephant soldiers, like those horse soldiers who were far from enough equipment and logistics, always felt that they were more awesome than the infantry. However, for more than ten years, they had no major wars and were not urged to train, and most of them were often unable to fight.

Just like those elephant soldiers who were brought in the first place, they had died as the elephants they were fed over and over again. Now the limited elephant soldiers number in Qichang Mansion has long been considered in name only. The King of Qi has never asked about this because he doesn't care about it at all.

The current situation in Qichang Mansion is that it will be dangerous once something happens. If there are bandits who come to Qichang Mansion to harass or launch a sudden attack, they can only keep defending the city temporarily.

This kind of tragic thing must be happening now, and it is even becoming more and more intense. Jixing has no choice but to do it for the time being. After all, the training of soldiers is not something that can be completed overnight!

Thinking of being surrounded by bandits, I couldn't help but feel a sense of fear spreading in my heart in an instant. Because Ji Xing knew very well that encountering such a thing in this era is not a joke or a game.

If others really come to target King Qi, they will be in danger.

Could it be that you die before you succeed in your mission?
