    "Empire Hegemony" Chapter 568

    ?There were many wars in Luyang Province. Although the rebel army suffered certain losses under the suppression of the mighty army, they gradually integrated into three strong rebel armies.

    Moreover, these three strong rebel armies were all led by generals from the Qinghe Army, under the secret command of Chen Ziang.

    ?The three insurgent armies became a cornered force. Although they did not belong to each other, they could also support each other.

    The rebel army did not blindly engage in defensive operations, but sent countless small groups of troops to infiltrate various prefectures and counties in Luyang Province to actively carry out activities.

    ?The rebel army carried out an assassination operation against officials in various prefectures and counties of Luyang Province under the rule of King Ning, and at the same time targeted key attacks on patrols, warehouses, checkpoints, and government offices.

    Although King Ning sent 100,000 mighty troops to suppress the rebels, although they achieved some results, they also plunged the 100,000 mighty troops into the quagmire of war.

    Because the insurgents no longer fought on their own, under the command of the three generals of the insurgents, they dealt with the mighty army in a targeted manner.

    ?In order to strengthen the strength of these three insurgents, the Qinghe Army secretly sent a group of young officers to the insurrectionary army to strengthen the command and response capabilities of grassroots officers.

    The rebel army lurks in the mountains, forests and fields, and emerges from time to time to attack, making the mighty troops stationed everywhere miserable.

    The troops of the Mighty Army are used to large-scale group operations, and usually tens of thousands of people act together.

    However, the insurgents changed their tactics and no longer acted on a large scale, but in units of centurions, and even three or five people dared to act.

    Moreover, the costumes of the rebel army were also in a mess, pretending to be refugees or ordinary people for a long time, and launched attacks on the mighty army and officials at all levels of the dynasty.

    "We want to accumulate small victories into big victories!"

    Under Chen Zi'ang's call, the rebel troops in Luyang Province implemented this call and actively engaged in small-scale battles.

    The number of mighty soldiers they kill or wound each time is not many, only three or five people, but battles break out every day, and soldiers of the mighty soldiers die every day.

    After many patrols of the mighty army went out, they never came back, and finally their bodies were found in a remote forest somewhere.

    ?Because of the mysterious attack of the rebel army, the mighty army in Luyang Province and officials of the dynasty at all levels were frightened, and they dared not leave the city if there were few people.

    The 100,000 mighty army was restrained by the rebel army in the territory, and King Ning was also in a state of distress.

    King Ning had no choice but to send additional troops to clean up, and according to his son Long Jun's suggestion, he also concocted a small-scale battle plan in a targeted manner.

    In order to avoid being passive everywhere, the mighty army also let the mighty army attack in teams of thousands and hundreds of people, trying to deal with the rebel army in a targeted manner.

    However, the tactics of the rebel army were flexible and changeable. When encountering a small-scale mighty army, they quickly assembled superior forces and directly launched a siege.

    The Mighty Army and the rebel army fought wits and bravery in Luyang Province, restraining a large number of Mighty Army troops, causing King Ning to be bound hands and feet.

    King Ning's 200,000 mighty army is pressing on the border of Jiangbei Province. Although there are buffers such as the governor of Jiangbei Province, they are not a small threat to the Qinghe Army.

    But now King Ning's mighty army has been restrained, and it is difficult to get out of the quagmire of fighting the rebel army, which greatly weakens the pressure on the Qinghe army.

    Chen Ziang and the others now control most of Jiangbei Province, and now King Ning's threat to them has been greatly reduced, giving them a rare opportunity for development.

    Under the leadership of Chen Zi'ang, the Qinghe Army vigorously developed agriculture, industry and commerce in the area controlled by the Qinghe Army, which made the area under the control burst into vigorous vitality.

    The law and order in the Qinghe Army-controlled area is good, and there are a lot of job opportunities and enough food.

    Under the vigorous publicity of the Qinghe Army Intelligence and Investigation Department, refugees from surrounding provinces also flocked here.

    In just half a month, the Qinghe army registered and took in more than one million refugees.

    The influx of a large number of refugees not only provided a large number of labor forces in the controlled area, but also provided a large number of soldiers.

    In Chen Ziang's strategic plan, they will form five new banner regiments, so they are also recruiting recruits aggressively.

    The influx of refugees provided them with a large source of soldiers, so the first batch of carefully selected 40,000 recruits had already arrived at the recruit training camp in Yunxi Prefecture and started a three-month recruit training.

    In order to prevent the generals under his command from embracing themselves, Chen Ziang?Not only set up a regular job rotation system, but also a recruit training system.

    Recruits are no longer recruited and trained by each unit itself, but a department under the Military Affairs Department is responsible for the recruitment and training of recruits.

    The training of recruits is not only physical and tactical training, but also ideological education.

    Now the civil and military branch of the Second Army Corps of the Qinghe Army has been established to the level of the centurion.

    There are also branches of civil and military associations in the recruit training camp. Their task is to educate recruits ideologically, instilling national concepts, thoughts of loving the people and thoughts of loyalty.

    Everything in the area controlled by the Qinghe Army is proceeding in an orderly manner, and the only thing that bothers Chen Ziang now is the food problem.

    They want to resume production, use work as relief, and support the army. Faced with the continuous influx of refugees, their original method of relying on caravans to buy food is no longer feasible.

    ?Because the caravan went to the surrounding provinces to buy grain and then transported it back, not to mention the slow speed, and in order to avoid attracting attention, they bought it in small quantities and multiple times.

    Now the southern provinces are also involved in the struggle between the prince and the fourth prince, and food is also under strict control.

    Yang Hao, the commander of the South who supported the fourth prince, killed the governor of Yunshan Province who supported the prince, and forcibly incorporated several battalions of Southern Army troops in Yunshan Province, which caused dissatisfaction among the generals of the Southern Army.

    The generals of the southern army are from the prince's natal family, so they are the prince's supporters.

    So the general of the Southern Army has sent troops to Yunshan Province to fight against Yang Hao, trying to cut off the fourth prince's wings.

    ? Yang Hao's strength is not weak. The southern army guards the south all the year round, and has not experienced war. In the battle with Yang Hao, they lost three battles and three defeats.

    Instead of cutting off the wings of the four princes along the way, Yang Hao, the southern army lost ground and land, making them in a mess.

    Now the southern provinces are also covered with clouds of war, and the southern army is actively dispatching troops, preparing to attack Yang Hao again.

    The tentacles of the Qinghe Army's Intelligence and Investigation Department had already penetrated into several provinces in the south. After receiving the information, they quickly reported it to Chen Zi'ang.

    "Now the southern army is extremely strict on food, salt, weapons, etc. In the past half a month, the supplies shipped to our Jiangbei province have decreased by three quarters."

    "We must open up the material channel as soon as possible and restore the material supply, otherwise, our stall is so big now, without food and other material supplies, everything will stop."

    Regarding the impact of what happened in the southern provinces on the Second Army of the Qinghe Army, Qin An, Chief of Political Affairs, felt the most obvious.

    Because now the food, salt and other materials in the prefectures and counties of Jiangbei Province are all allocated by him, the chief of government affairs.

    Now that there is no supply from the south, resulting in a shortage of supplies, he had to find Chen Ziang again, hoping to solve this problem as soon as possible.

    Chen Ziang has been thinking about solutions to the food problem since the last meeting, and asked the Intelligence and Investigation Department to investigate the situation of various forces in the south.

    Now seeing that the south is in chaos, and food, salt and other necessities have affected their Qinghe army, they can't sit still.  (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
