Chapter 163 Enter Chengdu
Lu Qiang led his army to Badong County the next day.
At this time, the war was already over. When the brothers of the city were broken, less than a thousand people fled to Chengdu. Although the head of the city was still a little wolf, it was under the repair of the prisoners, and the city had already regained peace. Only Jingzhou soldiers still appeared on the streets to patrol from time to time.
Lu Qiang entered the county with the company of He Wuji and looked at the soldiers patrolling and the calm people. Lu Qiang couldn't help praising He Wuji with a few words.
"General He deserves to be a famous general in the north. Let alone Badong, I have seen it. The White Emperor City can't be taken down by everyone. General He can be called the first general in Jingzhou."
"Hehe! With an adult, who dares to be number one?
"You guys are getting more and more cunning"
Lu Qiang's feelings for He Wuji are from the bottom of his heart. Regardless of personal factors, He Wuji is indeed a respectable person.
After the two came to the former Taishou Mansion with a smile and ordered people to bring tea to Lu Qiang, He Wuji said, "Late yesterday, my subordinates received news that the barbarian king Motuo's barbarian soldiers had passed Jialing and were advancing towards Yizhou, but they relied on the foreign water to build a defense line. Mot lacked offensive weapons and wanted to defeat them. It's not easy to be afraid"
"After other subordinates occupied Badong, several nearby state governments have announced their separation from the imperial court and loyal to the court
These are all expected by Lu Qiang. If the rebellion is smooth, those grass-like local officials will definitely fully support them, and on the contrary, they will fall into the well. This is human tradition.
Although Mot's army is large, it belongs to the rabble, and it is not surprising that it is blocked by the dragon.
After ordering the soldiers to spread the map of Shuzhong, he looked carefully and said, "Are the soldiers still in the inner water?"
He Wuji pointed to a point on the map and said, "Qiao's army is now mainly stationed in the area of Dangqu, Deyang, Zhongshui and Waishui. Although it is still known as 100,000 troops, according to his subordinates, his army is too watery and may be able to stop Motu, but it will never stop our Jingzhou army."
Lu Qiang nodded, which is beyond doubt. Now he is just a grasshopper after autumn and jumping for a few days. What he relies on now is just the location.
According to the scout report, the north of Yizhou is Jiange, Mianzhu and other dangerous customs. Compared with that, the terrain in the southeast is much flatter.
In addition, the army has dispersed, and it is only a matter of time to eliminate him.
After a day's rest, the army continued to march towards Chengdu. At the same time, Lu Qiang, as a rebellious general in the court, told all the officials, soldiers and civilians in Shu and took the initiative to return to the court. Those who were not responsible for the past, still attached to the rebels, and the murder was unforgiving, and their families would also be used as official slaves.
In fact, even without Lu Qiang's notice, he is already alone. Because he has to deal with the Jingzhou army and recruit strong men to join the army, it has made people angry. In addition to his own family, is there anyone who is willing to support him?
To say that the current life is much more sad than Huan Xuan, at least Huan Xuan still has a chance to live, but since the moment he listened to Tiansong's idea to hook up with Qin, there has been no chance.
What hit the most was his thinker Lu Song suddenly evaporated from the world. For this reason, he also killed several bodyguards who guard Lu Song. In his impression, Lu Song was a scholar with no power to bind chickens, but he had thought that he was a martial arts master who was no worse than a fox.
Tiansong's escape became the last straw to crush the dragonfly.
The battlefield was full of defeats, and the state governments in Shu made it clear that they would no longer support it. The barbarian soldiers on the mountain suppressed the situation, and the people complained...
This series of blows has made it no longer have the spirit of when he just established himself as the king of Chengdu. He has been drinking to drown his sorrows all day long, or he will fool around with his concubines and maids in the back house, and the whole person will eat and wait to die, and live a day.
With the approaching of the Jingzhou army, officers at all levels in Chengdu also began to think about it, and the most unexpected thing is that this organizer is actually the cousin of Qiong.
There is also a wise son of the Jia family, but although he does not agree with his brother's decadence, there is nothing he can do. In addition, he is his brother, and he will firmly stand firmly on his brother's side at any time.
And Qionghong is different. He and Qiong are not born as a mother. When they are rich and noble, they can share with Qiong. When they are in trouble... It's better for brothers to bear it alone!
Now the army of the barbarian king is blocked from the outside water, but the defenders of the inner water and the people of Jingzhou collapse at a touch, and the Jingzhou army is about to be killed in Chengdu.
So Lord Qionghong has decided to take action, and he will never die with him.
Today, Qiong secretly summoned more than a dozen army leaders who have been shaken, just to make a final attempt before the Jingzhou army is killed and to have a place in front of Lu Qiang.
In one of the most prosperous streets in Chengdu, there is a grocery store. Although it sells miscellaneous goods, it is the most complete goods in Chengdu, so the business here is also particularly good, and the store is also the largest.
It's just that no one knows that Zhang Dongjia, who has a harmless smiling face all day long, is the general manager of Zhifengtang Chengdu Station.
In fact, this grocery store existed as early as when Qizong first came to power, but it was only after Zhifengtang took over that he gradually expanded its business.
Zhang Dong's family was ordered to spy on all kinds of intelligence in Chengdu and has successfully sent a lot of valuable information. A few days ago, he just got the news that the mysterious man in the back house, very much like the old man Tiansong the assassin was looking for, but before further evidence was collected, this cunning old way disappeared as if he smelled danger.
It made Zhang Dong's opponent lose his temper. Why did he let a big living man slip away from under his nose?
Seeing that it was getting late and the store was about to close, he saw a figure flashing in from outside the door, and the clerk in charge of the guard saw the signal made by the man and directly put it in.
Zhang Dongjia was still angry that he could not find Tiansong Laodao. Suddenly, he saw that an undercover agent he had sent to the Qi family came to him. He couldn't help but be a little surprised. Is there any news from Lao Dao?
Since the war, there has been no suspense, so most of Zhifengtang's energy is spent on finding someone, because everyone knows that it is the person the assassin himself is looking for.
"My lord, the atmosphere in the city is not right"
The news brought by the undercover agent was not what Zhang Dong's family wanted to hear, but out of professional **, he subconsciously asked, "What's going on?"
"Just now, someone came to report to Zhihong that he was plotting to rebel, but before the news was sent to him, he was stopped by the housekeeper. According to him, the housekeeper is likely to have been bought by"
Is there such a thing?
Zhang Dong's family knows a lot about the pessimism in the city, because they have also sent people to add fuel to the flames, but they didn't expect that the family would have internal grie.
For the current situation, Chengdu is of course more chaotic and better, but if the Jia family is still monolithic, it is not easy to cause chaos, but now it is another matter for Chao Hong to take the initiative to jump out.
Zhang Dong's family lowered his head and meditated for a moment, gently clapped his palm, and then saw several clerks pushing the door and coming in.
"After closing the store, you will act separately and go all the way to the house of Gao Mingzi, find a way to let Gao Mingzi know about Gao Hong's rebellion, go all the way out of the city, and report the situation in the city to our army as soon as possible. Please get to Chengdu as possible..."
I don't know if it was necessary to cooperate with the situation in Chengdu, a flash of lightning suddenly lit up in the cloudy sky, and then the rolling spring thunder sounded in the sky.
It rained a little late this year, but after all, it did not miss the solar term. After the spring thunder, the drizzle also fell.
As the undercover agent said, the housekeeper of Jiazong has indeed been bought by Jiahong. Jiahong is the cousin of Jiazong. In the current situation, is it not easy to buy a domestic slave?
As the housekeeper told the news that someone had told him that there was a secret, he knew that he had to launch it in advance, otherwise he would have to kill him first. After all, most of the troops in the city were still loyal to him.
At present, after discussing with everyone, the generals should immediately return to the camp to prepare. After another update, they will launch together under the name of arson.
Cai Mingzi has been suffering from insomnia for many days. His brother's self-abandonment made him angry and helpless. At last, he still has a little idea. He knows that his family will not be able to save it after the city is broken, so he has begun to secretly send his wife and children out of Shuzhong, taken by a confidant and goes to Jiangnan in a hidden name.
And he chose to stay with his brother to fight to the death.
With the dim candlelight, I looked at the rain outside the window and couldn't help sighing. Without the company of my family, my heart felt even more empty.
At this moment, a bodyguard walked in quickly and leaned down in his ear and whispered a few words.
After listening to the bodyguard's words, Akiko suddenly turned pale and stood up and said in shock, "Are you telling the truth?"
"It's true. I also deliberately confirmed it and found that there were indeed changes in the barracks, and the general's mansion was also heavily guarded."
The general is Qihong.
"How dare the thief?"
At this moment, anyone can rebel, but Jia Mingzi never thought that the first person would be his brother's most reliable cousin.
Time was pressed, and there was no time to think about anything else. Qian Mingzi picked up a knife and took people to his own barracks to mobilize people to block the street. Then he went to his brother's house to find his brother who had just drunk and was about to go to bed with his concubine.
Without saying a word, Qiao Mingzi cut down the concubine in front of his brother, and then grabbed his brother who was covered with blood and still didn't understand what was going on.
"Brother, wake up! Even if we want to die, we will die vigorously. Are you still a man like this?
Looking at his brother, he smiled mechanically and said, "I will die sooner or later. What's the difference?"
Qiao Mingzi couldn't help it. He raised his arm and slapped his brother fiercely and said angrily, "Qiao Hong has reversed. He is about to lead the soldiers to kill him. We just die under Lu Qiang. Are we going to die in the hands of those little people?"
The brother's slap finally woke up Xiao Zong. After a short period of shock, a fierce light suddenly appeared in his eyes and said in a ferocious voice, "Qi Hong also wants to rebel? OK... I will complete him"
"Come, mobilize people, and go with me to arrest and kill the raped thieves"
With orders coming from the sober mouth of the sober, Chengdu Mansion in the night was like a sleeping beast suddenly waking up, revealing its ferocious face...
