"Empire Hegemony" Chapter 288
Chen Ziang led his personal guards to patrol the area under the jurisdiction of Lujiang Mansion, implementing a series of policies he personally formulated.
Because he came to the front line in person and found many problems, he promptly corrected some mistakes in the order execution process.
With the implementation of some policies of the Qinghe Army in the Lujiang Prefecture area, it quickly won the support and support of the general public.
The most direct manifestation is that the number of villages and towns and the number of guards continues to increase, and the number of recruits who have joined their regular army of the Qinghe Army is also more than 10,000.
If the people of Lujiang Mansion did not support them, they would not be so willing to join the Qinghe Army.
Under the implementation of Chen Ziang's new policies, all areas of Lujiang Prefecture have regained their vigor and vitality.
If Lujiang Mansion was not too close to the ruling core area of ??the Far Eastern Dynasty, Chen Ziang really wanted to gain a foothold here.
However, Chen Ziang quickly dispelled his unrealistic idea, because this place is too close to the capital, once the imperial army surrounded them, they would fall into a passive situation.
Therefore, they can only develop some small-scale territories in this area to achieve the purpose of containing the imperial court. There is absolutely no way for large troops to stay in this area for a long time.
Seeing that all the work in Lujiang Mansion was on the right track, Chen Zi'ang, the highest officer of the Qinghe Army's Second Corps, returned to Lujiang Mansion.
?Because he had already received news from Li Lang, the deputy commander of the army who was staying in Lujiang Prefecture, that there was movement from the imperial court.
According to the news from the secret intelligence team they stayed in Hezhong Province, about 100,000 imperial troops have arrived in Hezhong Province.
Although there are quite a few rebel troops in the surrounding provinces, they are not very large in scale and can be dealt with by the provincial garrison alone.
Chen Zi'ang felt that most of the 100,000 troops sent by the imperial court to the nearby Hezhong Province were aimed at them.
Everything in Lujiang Mansion has just entered the right track. At this time, if they fight the imperial army in this area, all their previous efforts will be in vain.
Therefore, on the way back to Lujiang Fucheng, Chen Ziang had already made up his mind, that is, the main force of their Qinghe army should move out as soon as possible to attract the imperial army away.
"Help, help!"
When Chen Ziang and his group were galloping on the official road, suddenly there was a voice calling for help from the distant river.
"Xi Lv¡ª¡ª"
Chen Ziang reined in the sitting horse, and the horse stood up, barely stopping.
Li Changqing, captain of the personal guard, and the others all reined in their horses when they saw Chen Ziang stop.
Chen Ziang looked in the direction of the sound, and found that there was a large group of people surrounded by the river in the distance, and the cry for help came from there.
"Go, go over and have a look¡ª"
After Chen Ziang looked away from the riverside, he kicked the horse's belly with his legs, left the official road immediately, and galloped over.
Li Changqing and others didn't know what the group of people were doing. They were worried about Chen Ziang's safety, so they quickly rode their horses to keep up. Several bodyguard cavalry even passed Chen Ziang and blocked him behind.
Chen Ziang and the others quickly rode their horses to the river bank, and a group of people standing by the river saw a group of cavalry approaching, and they all showed vigilance, and came towards this side one after another.
Chen Ziang and the others reined in their horses a few dozen steps away from this group of people. Seeing this group of people with panic faces and several people locked in cages, he couldn't help but frowned. .
Before Chen Ziang and the others could speak, a middle-aged man in a fine attire in the crowd stepped out first and walked towards Chen Ziang and the others.
Seeing this middle-aged man approaching, Li Changqing and other personal guards also put their hands on the knife handle mountain one after another, their faces full of vigilance.
"Chu Shan pays homage to all the military masters. I wonder if the military masters need our services?"
After the middle-aged man stood still, he bowed his hands to Chen Ziang and the others in a very respectful tone.
Chen Ziang still has a little impression of the Chu family in Lujiang Mansion, because they are kind and generous, and they will distribute food and save lives to the poor people in times of famine, so this time, they were not included in the category of house raids.
"What are you doing here? Who is in the cage?"
theChen Ziang raised his horsewhip, pointed at the women with disheveled hair in the cage and said.
"Reporting to the military lord, they were plundered by the bandits and lost their innocence. They have lost the face of our Chu family. According to the family rules, they should be sunk in the river." The middle-aged man replied calmly.
"Although we were plundered by bandits, we are still innocent" A woman couldn't help arguing loudly after hearing what the middle-aged man said.
"Hmph, after staying in the bandit village for a few days, you still claim to be innocent. What a joke! Today, you will be drowned in the river, so as to rectify the style of the Chu family!" The middle-aged man snorted coldly.
"We are wronged, wronged, my lord, please help us." The woman couldn't help crying.
The other women who were locked in the small cage also sobbed softly, weeping for their own fate.
"It's not easy for the bandits to take them away and come back alive. Let them go."
Chen Zi'ang saw that these women were really pitiful, and he felt that even if he lost his innocence, he would at least have a bad reputation, and there was no reason to sink the river, so he ordered them to be released.
"Master Jun, I know that Qinghe's army is benevolent and righteous, but this is a family matter of our Chu family. Please don't meddle, Mr. Jun."
After hearing what Chen Ziang said, the middle-aged man's complexion was also very ugly, and he immediately rejected Chen Ziang.
"You are disregarding human life, let him go quickly." Chen Ziang's voice was a little cold.
The middle-aged man still did not back down: "Our Chu family enforces the family law, and please ask the military master not to interfere."
"Li Changqing, go and let me go!" Chen Ziang ordered with a dark face to Li Changqing, the captain of the personal guard behind him.
"No!"
After Li Changqing responded, he immediately rode forward, but the servants of the Chu family by the river all stepped forward and blocked Li Changqing.
Although Li Changqing is not very old, he is also a veteran who crawled out of the dead. His face turned fierce, and the whip in his hand was whipped down with a cracking sound.
The horsewhip was firmly drawn on the servants of the Chu family, making them howl and dodge one after another.
More than a dozen personal guard cavalry rode up, whipped their horsewhips indiscriminately, and drove them away.
Li Changqing pulled out the saber at his waist, split open the cages that held the women, and released them.
These women originally thought that they were going to be drowned in the river, but now that they saw Chen Ziang and the others saving their lives, their gray eyes turned bright again.
