?In the south of Luyang Province, flags are flying, swords and guns are like forests, and a mighty army is marching in four columns.
Under a big blue banner, the old general Qin Chuan with gray temples rode his horse slowly.
The old general Qin Chuan was surrounded by five young brave generals. They were strong-backed and sharp-eyed, and they were known as the five tigers of the Qin family.
These five young warriors are all the sons of Qin Chuan, and they are all brave and good at fighting. Now that Qin Chuan has formed the 20th Corps of the People's Army to fight against thieves, they have become Qin Chuan's right-hand man.
Although the 20th Corps bears the designation of the imperial court, it is actually the Qin family army, which can be regarded as the family's private soldiers.
They originally fought against the rebel army in the Jiangbei Province where their family was located. After being invited by King Ning, they led their troops into Luyang Province to assist King Ning in suppressing Chen Ziang's Qinghe Army.
Of course, the Qin family won't make the trip in vain, what they want is a few prefectures and counties close to Jiangbei Province.
Now Luyang Province is still under the jurisdiction of the imperial court in name, but after Chen Ziang and his troubles, the imperial court has lost its actual control over this place.
Now the province of Luyang is like a piece of fat. All wealthy families with a little bit of strength want to jump up and take a bite, and the Qin family is no exception.
Although the Qin family had promised King Ning, they would lead their troops into Luyang Province and assist them in attacking the Qinghe Army.
It's just that although Qin Chuan, an old general, now bears the title of General Xiaoqi, he actually came from a civilian background.
He has served in the capital for many years, and he has long become a cunning fox. Now he is leading the army in battle, so he is naturally used to calculating.
They deliberately delayed the speed of the march and marched slowly. The purpose was very simple, that is, they did not want to arrive at the battlefield prematurely.
Qin Chuan wanted King Ning and other troops to fight the Qinghe Army for a few games first, and it would be best for both sides to suffer, so that they could reap the benefits.
Although Qin Chuan, an old general, thought perfectly, sometimes the plan could not keep up with the changes.
?Because the situation on the battlefield changes rapidly, many times it will not follow the script at all.
Chen Ziang voluntarily withdrew from the capital of Luyang Province to prevent the Qinghe Army from becoming the target of siege.
Now although King Ning and other troops have entered the capital of Luyang Province, they are taking over the surrounding prefectures and counties.
It's just that King Ning and the others also have many internal contradictions. Now King Ning has made a move, killed the top leaders of the 23rd Corps of the People's Army and the Liu Family Army, supported the agents, and tried to annex their troops.
However, the troops under King Ning's command were not monolithic, because the mighty army under his command suffered heavy losses in the process of fighting against the Qinghe army.
Now the strength that King Ning can rely on is the 15th Corps of the People's Army, the garrison troops of Hezhong Province, and of course the cavalry troops under Long Jun's command.
King Ning seems to be the supreme commander, but in fact the troops under his command are mixed, like a hodgepodge.
Facing the 15th Corps of the Civilian Army, the Hezhong Provincial Garrison, the Longjun Cavalry, the remnants of the Mighty Army, the 23rd Militia Corps, and the Liu Family Army, King Ning needed time to coordinate the relationship between all parties rectify.
Now King Ning seems to have a strong army, but in fact, only his son Long Jun's cavalry can be regarded as his true direct lineage.
So now that Chen Ziang led the Qinghe army to retreat, King Ning didn't have the energy to pursue it at all. He was busy dealing with internal affairs now.
The Qinchuan family originally wanted King Ning and the Qinghe Army to fight each other, so that they could reap the benefits of fishing.
However, man's calculations are not as good as heaven's calculations. With the active retreat of Chen Zi'ang and his Qinghe army, the situation has also undergone a fundamental change.
King Ning's strength has not been compromised in any way, but has become stronger because of the continuous annexation of other troops.
However, Chen Ziang's Qinghe Army withdrew on its own initiative, so it was also strong and strong, maintaining a strong combat effectiveness.
More importantly, now that the Qinghe army led by Chen Ziang is heading south along the official road, it is equivalent to heading towards the 20th Corps of the Qin family.
Now the 20th Corps of the Qin Family is facing a dilemma. If they continue to move forward, they will definitely fight the Qinghe Army. At that time, King Ning will be the one who reaps the benefits.
But let's not fight, they ran so far, if they retreated in a desperate manner, not only the morale of the troops would be lost, but also the face.
Once they withdraw, the few prefectures and counties in the south of Luyang Province they want will have nothing to do with them.
So after weighing the pros and cons repeatedly, the old general Qin Chuan was still unwilling to give up the meat that was close to his mouth.
Therefore, relying on his own 50,000 elite soldiers, he decided to move forward and prepare to form a defense line around Yingzui Peak to intercept Chen Ziang's Qinghe Army and prevent Chen Ziang from entering the southern prefecture.
After all, in Qin Chuan's view, the prefectures and counties in the south of Luyang Province have now become his territory, and they will never be touched by anyone.
While actively defending the front line of Yingzui Peak, Qin Chuan also sent a fast horse to send a letter to King Ning, asking Ning King's troops to rush over quickly, and they flanked Chen Ziang's Qinghe Army.
King Ning is no longer a treacherous and cunning person. He wished that the people of the Qin family and the Qinghe army would lose both sides in the fight.
So after getting the letter from the Qin family asking him to send troops, he put it aside and ignored it.
After he finishes dealing with the internal affairs, it is estimated that the Qin family and the Qinghe army have almost fought, and then he can go to clean up the mess.
King Ning and the Qin family were plotting against each other, while the Qinghe army led by Chen Ziang continued to approach the Qin family in the south.
"General, the scout brothers report that the Qin family has already blocked our way with heavy troops at the various mountain passes on the Yingzui Peak line."
Although Chen Ziang and the others were marching, they had sent countless scouts to move within a hundred li radius.
Hearing that the Qin family sent heavy troops to block their way, Chen Zi'ang's hussar general seemed to have expected it, and his face was as usual.
"General, do we want to change our course?" Li Lang, deputy commander of the army, cast his gaze on Chen Ziang.
"If you change the road, you will need to travel hundreds of miles. Maybe some kind of moth will appear then." Chen Ziang shook his head.
Now that the imperial court has issued an edict, all powerful families are forming civilian troops.
Even those squires who are not strong enough have formed some armed guards.
Now it can be said that armed forces under various banners are everywhere. They besieged the rebel army everywhere, which put a lot of pressure on the rebel army, and it can be said that they are struggling.
Chen Ziang and his group of rebel troops naturally became the target of many people.
Because Chen Ziang and the others almost wiped out most of the Luyang Province, and seized countless grains and goods, if Chen Ziang and the others were wiped out, whoever would be able to quickly grow their strength.
It's just that these people are afraid of Chen Ziang's strength, and now they are hiding in the dark and watching.
Once Chen Ziang and the others were weak, they would pounce on them like poisonous snakes and bite fiercely.
If Chen Ziang and the others changed their course, it would be tantamount to showing weakness to the outside world, and then countless enemies would swarm in.
Chen Ziang was not afraid of these enemies, but it was hard to defend against them. Chen Ziang didn't want them to be the target of public criticism.
Now that the Qin family blocked their way, Chen Ziang felt that there was no need for them to change their way, so they went out directly to show their strength. Only in this way could they deter those petty people! (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
