    "Empire Hegemony" Chapter 239

    Yan Jing, a newly rising rookie in the court, deliberately made matters worse. Under the torture, all the families related to the Yang family were implicated one after another.

    The prince also wanted to take this opportunity to suppress the power of other princes, so he also acquiesced to Yan Jing's actions.

    ? Prime Minister Zuo Wang Huchen's purpose in wanting to overthrow the Yang family is very simple, that is, now that there are constant internal and external troubles, the court must be united.

    As long as the Yang family is overthrown, other military families will be much more honest, achieving the goal of knocking mountains and shaking tigers.

    Only if the internal cohesion of the court is improved and the forces are directed to one place, then it will be much easier to wipe out the rebels in various provinces.

    However, the plan of the matter could not keep up with the changes, although Wang Huchen's careful layout has now brought down the Yang family.

    But the matter is far from over. The prince wants to take the opportunity to suppress other princes and forces, and Yan Jing wants to take advantage of the situation to increase his influence.

    More and more people were implicated in the Yang family's rebellion case, and countless families were involved, which made the civil and military people of the whole dynasty panic.

    Many aristocratic families with ulterior motives don't think it's a big deal to watch the excitement, and they also want to fish in troubled waters and suppress their own hostile forces.

    Therefore, mutual reports and exposures flew to the East Palace like snowflakes, and the prince also had to expand the scale of the investigation department again and again.

    The Lu family thought they could stay out of the matter, after all, they fought vigorously with the Yang family.

    It stands to reason that the Yang family has fallen. Instead of being members of the conspiracy, they are officials with meritorious service.

    However, things are often not as simple as thought. Someone reported that Lu Wenzhao, a member of the Lu family, was a deserter on the battlefield and hid in their manor outside the city.

    Lu Wenzhao originally fought against the Qinghe Army under the command of the Fourth Prince, but the troops he led were wiped out. He was afraid of being punished, so he fled back privately.

    The fourth prince thought that he was already killed in battle, but who knew that he not only survived, but also returned to the capital, and now he has been directly reported.

    The prince just couldn't catch the fourth prince's handle, so he directly ordered a thorough investigation, and planned to bring down the Lu family and the fourth prince by the way.

    This internal strife in the imperial court made the capital full of storms. Wang Huchen found that he was powerless to stop it, because he could not change the prince's will.

    Every day, new courtiers are involved in this storm, and countless families are constantly implicated in it.

    Yan Jing, the responsible young rookie, has taken over the Investigation Department, which has transformed itself into a synonym for terror.

    The Investigation Division is no longer limited to activities in the royal capital and Gyeonggi Province. Based on the list obtained through torture, they began to move towards various provinces, planning to arrest people according to the list.

    The Hezhong Province is the closest to the Gyeonggi Province, and it was also the first to be hit. Facing the investigation department that suddenly came from the capital, the Hezhong Province was not prepared at all.

    The governor of Hezhong Province is dispatching troops to chase and intercept Chen Ziang and the others. Now someone has reported that the governor participated in the Yang family's rebellion case, and was directly arrested by the investigation department in the military camp.

    Although Chen Ziang and the others left Gyeonggi Province and arrived in Hezhong Province, this is also the hinterland controlled by the Far Eastern Dynasty.

    The province in the middle of the river has fertile land, abundant water sources, and countless fertile fields, so many families have also taken root in the province in the middle of the river.

    Chen Zi'ang and the others hid and recuperated in the mountains on the edge of Hezhong Province for a while, and at the same time contacted Li Lang and the others who had broken through the siege earlier, and prepared to join Li Lang and the others before heading south.

    However, Chen Ziang and the others underestimated the combat effectiveness of the various families in Hezhong and the regular troops of Hezhong Province. Li Lang's 20,000 infantrymen had poor maneuverability and fell into a tight siege.

    Chen Zi'ang had no choice but to lead the cavalry to the rescue. Who knew that the governor of the Hezhong Province just wanted to surround the area for help.

    As soon as Chen Ziang and his cavalry troops appeared, they were besieged by the black cavalry troops.

    When Chen Ziang and the others turned upside down the Gyeonggi Province, the Black Cavalry troops were scattered all over the place to suppress the rebels.

    When the Black Cavalry rushed back to help, Chen Ziang and the others had already jumped out of the encirclement, so the Black Cavalry rushed to nothing.

    ?Because Chen Ziang and the others arrived in Hezhong Province, the imperial court also dispatched 20,000 black cavalry troops to assist the Governor of Hezhong Province in encircling and suppressing Chen Ziang's troops.

    Facing the 20,000 Black Cavalry Army, which was not weak in combat effectiveness, Chen Ziang also had to avoid their edge and constantly deal with them.

    The infantry led by Li Lang?Encountered the siege of various family troops and the garrison troops of Hezhong Province, and suffered relatively large losses.

    Fortunately, with Chen Ziang and the others distracting the Black Cavalry troops, the pressure on Li Lang and the others was finally relieved.

    But even so, their army is still struggling in the river province, and they have to fight several times a day. In the constant fighting and breaking through, the more than 20,000 people have been reduced by half.

    Chen Zi'ang's situation was not much better. Their 4,000 cavalry were at half-baked levels. Although they were constantly fighting and tempered on the battlefield, their combat effectiveness was sturdy.

    But they still can't compare with the well-trained black cavalry. After all, the cavalry of the Qinghe army bullied the infantry and those cavalry who had not been in battle were not inferior.

    But when they encountered these regular black cavalry who had been fighting with various rebels, they also felt quite strenuous.

    Fortunately, Chen Zi'ang didn't confront these black cavalry soldiers head-on. He just kept going around, going around in circles, and diverting them away, so that Li Lang and the others could take advantage of the situation to break through.

    Li Lang and the others lost one of them every time they fought. As a last resort, Li Lang had to recruit prisoners from various places along the way to supplement the war damage.

    There are many prisoners in the prisons in the prefectures and counties of the province in the middle of the river, and many of them are fierce and brave people.

    After Li Lang incorporated them into the army, although they lost a lot of fighting all the way, their strength has always been maintained, so that they will not be too stretched.

    ? When Chen Ziang and the others were fighting bloody battles in Hezhong Province and various troops of the dynasty, the struggle within the Far Eastern Dynasty also spread to Hezhong Province.

    Following the arrest of the Governor of Hezhong Province as the perpetrator of the Yang family's rebellion, the situation changed suddenly.

    The Governor of Hezhong Province was in charge of coordinating the troops of Hezhong Province to encircle and suppress Chen Ziang and the others. Now that they had lost their backbone, the troops of the various families were dissatisfied with each other, which slowed down their offensive and gave Chen Ziang and the others a chance to breathe.

    The arrest of the Governor of the River Central Province was not the end. The Investigation Department stationed in the River Central Province immediately launched a series of operations.

    More than a dozen generals of the Black Cavalry Army were taken away in the barracks, and the heads of several families were also taken away. For a while, people in the army were panicked.

    The head of the investigation department stationed in Hezhong Province is a cruel official who Yan Jing personally provoked. He also wants to make meritorious deeds and make some achievements.

    Therefore, under severe torture, people kept confessing, and more and more people were on the list of treason cases.

    Many families have nothing to do with conspiracy at all, but it is still difficult to escape this storm.

    Because this in itself is just the prince's attempt to suppress dissidents with the help of the treason case. After the king's capital, there was also a storm in the province of Hezhong.

    With the blowing of this storm, no matter whether it was the official families of the prefectures and counties in the river, or the troops encircling and suppressing the Qinghe army, they were all panicked and had no intention of managing Chen Ziang and the others.

    Li Lang also took advantage of the situation to protrude out of the encirclement and broke out to the south. Chen Ziang saw that Li Lang and the others escaped smoothly, and did not deal with the Black Cavalry Army anymore. After a feint, he rushed to join Li Lang and the others.  (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
