"Empire Hegemony" Chapter 662
Among the bushes and rocks near an official road in Jiangnan Province, about a thousand men with sharp knives were lurking here, staring at the official road not far away.
"Is the news reliable?"
After waiting for a long time, the target did not appear, which made a burly man look a little impatient.
"The news is absolutely reliable. They lived in Yancheng Mansion last night. I heard that they are going to the provincial capital. This is their only way."
Seeing the impatience on the strong man's face, a thin man with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks confirmed in a low voice.
"I don't know when to wait."
The burly man with a face full of flesh looked up at the scorching sun, and couldn't help muttering.
"I can't eat hot tofu in a hurry, so wait slowly. The boss said that as long as we do this, not only will we have all the seizures, but we will also have 100,000 gold coins." The thin man with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks said.
"I'm afraid your boss doesn't mean what you say." The strong man said.
"Our boss is also a big family that can be counted in the Jiangnan Province. Can you lose one hundred thousand gold coins?"
"Anyway, if you don't give it when the time comes, don't let me be ruthless."
"Don't worry, if I don't give it to you at that time, you can use my head as a chamber pot."
"I want you to use your brain." The strong man said cursingly.
"Hush, there's movement."
When the strong man was talking to this thin man with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks, a man next to him made a booing gesture.
"Come here, please be quiet¡ª"
The burly man waved his hands behind him, and those lurking and hidden men shut up one after another, pricked up their ears, and cast their eyes on the official road in the distance.
The horse's hooves knocked on the ground, and the dull sound came from afar. The men lurking near the official road also clenched the sharp knives in their hands, and their faces were tense.
Not long after, more than a dozen sturdy cavalrymen in black appeared on the official road. They rode their horses and scanned the sides of the official road with vigilant eyes.
Seeing these more than a dozen sturdy cavalrymen in black, the men hiding near the official road all held their breath, not daring to make any rash moves.
The speed of these more than a dozen sturdy black-clothed cavalry was fast and slow, and they didn't let go of the woods on both sides of the official road, so they wanted to go in and check.
There are also cavalrymen in black riding up to a slightly higher gentle slope next to the official road, looking down and looking around.
Seeing the vigilance of these black cavalrymen, the men lurking near the official road did not dare to show their air.
In particular, the man with the sharp mouth and monkey cheeks looked at the strong man differently.
Because at the beginning he suggested to ambush in the woods next to the official road, but was rejected by the strong man.
The place where they finally ambush is in the unremarkable rocky bushes next to the official road. You can see the rocky bushes at a glance from a distance. people.
After the black-clothed cavalry inspected the places they suspected, they rode their horses and continued to search along the official road.
These black-clothed cavalry belonged to the headquarters of the Qinghe Army's Second Army Corps, and their inspection along the road was nothing more than routine.
Now the Qinghe Army Second Corps has taken control of the Jiangnan Province. Although there are still some bandits making trouble, they can't cause any trouble.
And they would never have imagined that those criminals would dare to take the initiative to attack their Qinghe army.
After the black cavalry searched and left for a while, another group of people appeared on the official road in the distance.
There are about 300 people in this team, all of them are riding on sturdy and majestic military horses. The cavalrymen with cloaks on their backs look solemn, and a black wolf flag is waving in the wind. The team exudes a murderous atmosphere.
A cavalry team of more than 300 people surrounded a young general in heavy armor, accompanied by several people in civil servants.
This group of people is Chen Ziang, the commander of the Second Army of the Qinghe Army, and Song Zhi and others who are going to the Jiangnan Province are accompanying him.
The Qinghe Army took over the Jiangnan Province, but it does not mean that the Jiangnan Province is already owned by the Qinghe Army.
The Jiangnan Province is rich and prosperous, and it has also nourished many powerful families and other powerful forces.
Now the Qinghe army has wiped out the enemies in the Jiangnan province militarily, but it still needs to regain the hearts of the people to gain a firm foothold.
When Chen Ziang personally inspected the Jiangnan Province this time, he also personally named Song Zhi and asked him to serve as the chief of government affairs in the Jiangnan Province.
Song Zhi was originally the county magistrate of the imperial court, and later became the Chief of Government Affairs of Chen Ziang's next government in Jiangbei Province.
Chen Ziang appreciated Song Zhi's rapid stabilization of order during his term of office, his management of the local area in an orderly manner, and the implementation of the New Deal.
So this time, Chen Ziang also decided to let Song Zhi work in Jiangnan Province to help him stabilize here.
After all, Jiangnan Province produces grain, but it is one of the grain production bases of the Far Eastern Dynasty, and it has a large population.
Once this place is taken care of, the Qinghe Army will be able to have a steady supply of food, grass and soldiers, and the odds of winning will be greatly improved when it comes to competing in the world.
Although Jiangnan Province has just been defeated, its strategic position has quickly surpassed that of Jiangbei Province and has become the top priority.
Now Chen Zi'ang asked Song Zhi to go to Jiangnan province to serve as the chief of government affairs of a province, which is a test for Song Zhi and a high value.
They stopped and stopped along the way, and went deep into the villages and towns to investigate from time to time, also wanting to find out the situation here as soon as possible.
Because only by going to the field for inspection in person, can they grasp the most accurate first-hand information.
They have already figured out the general situation of the Jiangnan Province along the way, so now they are rushing all the way to the capital of the province.
"Phew!"
When Chen Ziang and the others passed through a forest and their field of vision widened, the sound of arrows tearing through the air suddenly sounded in their ears.
"careful!"
Chen Ziang was born in the army, and it is not uncommon for him to personally fight the enemy, so his reaction is also extremely fast.
While Chen Ziang issued the warning, he had already drawn out the saber from his waist and shielded it in front of him.
"Pfft!"
The arrow was originally aimed at Chen Ziang, but the aim was a bit off, and it hit a cavalry guard next to Chen Ziang.
The arrow pierced through the shoulder armor of the guard cavalry, and then deeply embedded in the flesh.
The guard cavalry grunted, swayed, and almost fell off his horse.
"Protect the general!"
"Finished formation!"
With a roar, Du Jian, the captain of the personal guard, hurriedly took off the small round shield on his horse's back, and stood in front of Chen Ziang.
And the marching black cavalry quickly formed an formation, protecting Chen Ziang, Song Zhi and others in the center.
Another sharp arrow came, but facing Chen Ziang who was guarded by a human wall in the center, the arrow was blocked by the shield and lance at the periphery.
The screams sounded, and several cavalry guards of the Qinghe Army fell off their horses with arrows, and were immediately dragged into the formation by their comrades for protection.
"superior!"
"Kill!"
Following the order of the strong man, the roar of mountains and tsunami sounded not far away, and more than a thousand burly men in messy clothes rushed forward with their teeth and claws. (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
