"Empire Hegemony" Chapter 222
"Drive!"
"Drive!"
At dusk, more than 20 strong men in coarse clothes were riding horses and galloping on the official road, and the horseshoes rolled up a large cloud of smoke and dust.
"Young Master, Jiangxia Town is just ahead."
A strong man looked at the outline of the town in the distance, and his tired cheeks showed joy.
Guo Yijian and the others let Chen Ziang go in private, and after setting up the ecstasy formation, they quietly left the army and headed towards the agreed place to meet Chen Ziang and the others.
Guo Yijian, an imposing general in the imperial court, has now voluntarily left the army and is about to join the rebel army. His mood is also extremely complicated.
If it wasn't for the arrangement of the family, he would never have been willing to give up his military position as a general and join the rebel army.
However, he has been trained by the family since he was a child, and he is also loyal to the family. Facing the family's request, he has no way to refuse.
And he also realized that he was just a pawn of the family, just like those family children who were sent to other rebels, they might be abandoned at any time.
After going through this incident, Guo Yijian has now created some estrangement from the family, and now he is eager to become stronger, and then wants to get rid of the control of the family.
For Guo Yijian, staying away from the court and family and joining the rebel army, although he will face more risks, he will also be more free.
"Young master, we are here."
The voice of a hardcover man brought Guo Yijian back from his thoughts, and he realized that he had already arrived in Jiangxia Town.
"Who are you?!"
Seeing Guo Yijian and the others, more than 20 strong men on horseback, and the Jiangxia Town garrison guarding the intersection couldn't help but become vigilant.
Now everywhere is not peaceful, there are so many bandits and bandits, Guo Yijian and the others are all equipped with swords, so they dare not be careless.
"Perform military duties!"
Facing these garrison soldiers who were facing an enemy, Guo Yijian threw a token of the imperial guards over.
This token was obtained from the officer of the Imperial Guard who he killed, and he did not expect it to come in handy.
"It turned out to be the Chief of the Imperial Guard!"
The Imperial Guards are the battle order of the Central Army, which is more than one level higher than the defense of these places, so they immediately stood up and saluted.
"Sirs, do you need me to lead the way to the town guard's mansion?" A ten guards general asked courteously.
"Secret military affairs, keep quiet."
"No!"
After Guo Yijian and the others finished speaking, they kicked the horse's belly with both legs, and immediately rode past the guarding soldiers.
"These imperial guards are really majestic on tall horses. Let's just get a horse to ride sometime."
Seeing the steeds Guo Yijian and the others sat on, the guard soldiers in Jiangxia Town were envious.
The military salaries, military uniforms and equipment of these garrison soldiers were all allocated by the local tutelary government.
The tutelary mansion is so poor that their clothes are shabby and tattered, and the military salary has not been paid for several months, which is simply incomparable with the imperial guards.
When these garrison soldiers envied Guo Yijian and the others, they didn't know that the people they put into the town were those who wanted to join the rebel army.
"Didn't you say we met in Jiangxia Town? Why is the town still in the hands of the imperial court?"
Guo Yijian and the others are also full of doubts now, and they agreed to meet here, but now there is no sign of the rebel army here.
"First find a place to live and inquire about it."
Guo Yijian didn't know where Chen Ziang and the others retreated, so he could only get here according to the original agreement, and now he was also uncertain.
What he was most worried about was that Chen Ziang would forget about him, and he saved Chen Ziang's life by sending charcoal in the snow. The purpose was to get on Chen Ziang's boat.
Guo Yijian led people to stay in the best inn in the town with a straight face, ordered some food and wine in the lobby on the first floor, and inquired about the news from the business travelers while eating.
"Excuse me, Mr. Guo?"
Before Guo Yijian and the others finished their meal, a middle-aged man dressed as a businessman approached him.
"May I ask who you are?"
"I am someone sent by General Chen." The merchant replied in a low voice.
 "Where are General Chen and the others now?" Guo Yijian asked.
"There are so many people, Mr. Guo, after you finish eating, just follow me."
Guo Yijian and the others didn't ask too many questions, and after finishing their meal, they followed the merchant out of town.
Under the leadership of the merchant, they walked along the official road with torches for a while, and then turned into a mountain trail.
After Guo Yijian and the others passed by, more than a dozen scouts from the Qinghe Army came out of the woods beside the mountain path, and after confirming that there was no tail, they followed up quietly.
Soon, after layers of inspections by sentries and sentries, in a valley, Guo Yijian saw Chen Ziang's troops camped here.
This is Guo Yijian's close contact with the Qinghe army troops. They walked through the camp, and those Qinghe army soldiers who were busy cooking and wiping their weapons in small groups were busy with their own affairs just by looking at them.
Seeing these soldiers with torn armor but exuding a tough aura, Guo Yijian and others were also secretly shocked.
He has seen the Imperial Guard and Black Cavalry troops under the Fourth Prince's command. Those troops have all fought in battle, and they are all rebellious and fierce.
But seeing these calm and introverted soldiers of the Qinghe Army at this moment, Guo Yijian felt that these soldiers of the Qinghe Army were even better.
In Guo Yijian's impression, the rebel army was a group of mobs who would drink and gamble when camping, appearing to be very disorganized.
However, Chen Ziang's army camped in this valley seemed very quiet, wiping their weapons and cooking in an orderly manner, without the messy appearance of other rebels, and at the same time, the surrounding area was also heavily guarded, which made him realize that this was a rare army. Elite and strong army.
Guo Yijian suddenly felt that it is no wonder that the family let him join Chen Ziang's command. With such an elite army, even if they can't compete in the world in the future, they can do it separately.
Guo Yijian and the others soon arrived outside Chen Ziang's large tent of the Chinese army. Seeing the heavily guarded large tent of the Chinese army, Guo Yijian, a member of the imperial court, was also a little nervous at the moment.
"Mr. Guo, my general invites you in."
Soon, Captain Li Changqing came out and let Guo Yijian go in to see Chen Ziang alone.
Guo Yijian was about to take a step, but was stopped by Li Changqing, who pointed his mouth at the saber at his waist.
"Feel sorry."
Guo Yijian took off the saber from his waist and handed it to Li Changqing, then took a deep breath and stepped into the military tent.
Seeing a young man bowed his head at the desk, staring at a picture with the help of candlelight, Guo Yijian felt that this should be Chen Ziang.
"Guo Yijian, meet General Chen."
"Mr. Guo, please sit down."
Chen Ziang raised his head, motioned Guo Yijian to find a seat to sit down, and immediately ordered: "Changqing, serve tea to Mr. Guo."
Seeing Chen Ziang's young and tough face, he was also stunned. He didn't expect that this general of the rebel army who had made hundreds of thousands of troops look ashamed was so young, which simply overturned his cognition.
In Guo Yijian's view, Chen Zi'ang should be a burly and rude man with a beard, otherwise how could he be able to restrain those arrogant soldiers.
However, what surprised Guo Yijian was that the notorious Chen Ziang was so young and so heroic.
"Mr. Guo, please sit down."
Li Changqing came in with a teapot in hand, saw Guo Yijian still in a daze, and beckoned him to sit down.
"Thank you."
Seeing that Chen Ziang was busy, Guo Yijian didn't want to disturb him, so he had to sit down on a stone pier next to him. (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
