"Empire Hegemony" Chapter 769
? Sishui Prefecture, Dongjiang Province.
The Qinghe army suppressed the border heavily, and the people fled to the countryside one after another, causing this bustling city to become much quieter.
There are few pedestrians on the street, most of the shops are closed, and the low houses make the city look depressed and dilapidated.
A large number of southern troops were ordered to be transferred from various towns to the front line of Sishui Mansion, preparing to resist the Qinghe Army, making Sishui Mansion like a large military camp.
General Luo Mingyuan of Zhennan sent three armies to advance together, trying to retake the Jiangnan province from the Qinghe army.
It's a pity that people's calculations are not as good as heaven's calculations. Except for the North Army under the leadership of Corps Commander Xu Liang, his three-way army still has strength, and the other two were defeated by the Qinghe Army.
After Luo Mingyuan failed in the Battle of Blue River, he quickly sent someone to send an order to the Fourth Corps on the South Road, telling them to withdraw quickly.
It's a pity that the messenger was robbed and killed by the scout rangers of the Qinghe Army in the middle of the journey, so that the withdrawal order was never sent to the Fourth Corps.
The commander of the Fourth Corps missed the best time to retreat, and then he was killed abruptly by the 22nd Banner Regiment led by Yang Zhong, taking more than 10,000 people prisoner.
When he learned that the Qinghe Army's first battle flag had been planted in Jiang'an Mansion, Zhennan General Luo Mingyuan also had a black head and almost lost his footing.
Because the Qinghe Army occupied Jiang'an Mansion, it meant that their Fourth Corps was finished.
Luo Mingyuan took the last sliver of luck and sent someone to find out the exact news. As he expected, the Fourth Corps was wiped out.
In its heyday, the Southern Army had a strength of more than 400,000 troops. It can be said that it was so powerful in the southern region that no one dared to repeat it.
However, when the Southern Army encountered the Qinghe Army, it was like encountering an evil star, and everything went wrong.
? First, the Jiangnan Province was taken advantage of by the Qinghe Army, and then the Navy Army was beaten to death.
Luo Mingyuan personally commanded the army to destroy the Qinghe army and recover the Jiangnan province, but it was still a complete defeat.
Now, apart from the army left behind in Yunshan Province, Luo Mingyuan has only a handful of soldiers in his hands.
Luo Mingyuan hadn't recovered from the news of the annihilation of the Fourth Corps when another news came.
"General, the bandit army sent a letter saying that the young general is in their hands."
After a series of failures, Luo Mingyuan, the great general of Zhennan who once shook the south, looked a lot weaker.
"My son is still alive!?"
When Luo Mingyuan heard that his son Luo Jing was still alive, he also stood up excitedly.
"General, this is the longevity lock of the major general, and the letter written by the major general. It doesn't look like a fake."
While the aide was speaking, he handed the longevity lock and the letter to Luo Mingyuan.
"It is indeed Jing'er's handwriting, and this longevity lock is also worn by him."
Luo Mingyuan originally thought that his son Luo Jing was dead, but now he suddenly heard that he was still alive, which was the only good news these days.
"What does it mean that the bandits sent these things?"
Luo Mingyuan was very excited that Luo Jing was alive, but he quickly calmed down, because he knew that with the temperament of the Qinghe Army, if he captured his son, he would definitely not let him go so easily.
"General, the bandit army said that only one million gold is needed to release the major general."
After the staff glanced at Luo Mingyuan, they spoke with an unnatural expression.
"What!?"
"One million gold!"
"Why don't they go grab it!"
When he heard that one million gold was needed to redeem his son Luo Jing, Luo Mingyuan's joy was gone, and he couldn't help roaring.
"The thief army, the thief army"
"What else did the bandit army say!"
Seeing the hesitation of the staff, Luo Mingyuan's chest also heaved violently, and asked in a cold voice.
"The thieves said that we attacked the Jiangnan province, causing them many casualties and trampling on many flowers and plants. We need to compensate for the loss, and we need five million gold"
After hearing the staff's words, the air in the living room seemed to freeze, and it became difficult for depressed people to breathe.
"Wow!"
The furious Luo Mingyuan drew out his saber and cut the table in half with one stroke.
"The army of thieves is deceiving people too much!"
Luo Mingyuan let out an angry roar in his chest, and the dust on the vibrating beams fell down.
"Master, master, you can save Jing'er."
When Luo Mingyuan was furious, his eldest wife ran into the living room crying.
"Jing'er has fallen into the hands of the bandit army, and her life would be worse than death. Master, that is your flesh and blood. You can't just ignore death."
Knowing that her son Luo Jing was still alive, and now in the hands of the Qinghe Army, Luo Jing's mother also came over immediately and begged Luo Mingyuan to rescue him.
"All right, all right, stop crying! I'm just getting annoyed!"
Luo Mingyuan was upset, and when he heard his wife crying, he couldn't help it.
"If you dare to murder me, I will die"
Luo Mingyuan's eldest wife has always been strong, and she is also related to the royal family. She belongs to the prince's mother's natal family, so Luo Mingyuan has always respected her.
Seeing that Luo Mingyuan was angry at her now, the eldest lady wanted to hit the pillar while crying.
Several staff members and guards hurried forward and grabbed him, and Luo Mingyuan, a majestic general, also felt devastated.
"Okay, don't make trouble, I will save Jing'er."
The general Luo Mingyuan had no choice but to coax his wife away in a low voice.
However, Luo Mingyuan was really unwilling to accept so much ransom offered by Qinghe army lions.
Although millions of gold are not impossible for a general like him, he still needs face.
"You can talk to the bandit army. The ransom is too much. I can't even get it out of my hands. I hope they can reduce it. We can also guarantee that we will not attack them in the future."
After all, his son Luo Jing is in the hands of the Qinghe Army, and Luo Mingyuan is also a little bit cautious, so he can only send someone to negotiate with the Qinghe Army.
Now that Luo Mingyuan's Southern Army has suffered heavy losses, it will not be able to recover for a while. He is unwilling to continue fighting with the Qinghe Army.
If he can buy peace with money, he is still willing, but this needs to be negotiated, and he can't give as much as the Qinghe Army drives, otherwise, the Qinghe Army will make more progress.
As long as he can strive for peace for a year or so, he can recruit new soldiers from the occupied Dongjiang Province and Yunshan Province, enrich the army, and regain strength.
Moreover, this time's battle against the Qinghe Army also revealed that some people in the Southern Army were disobedient, and he also needed time to rectify the interior.
"General, the imperial envoy of the imperial court has arrived."
When Luo Mingyuan sent people to negotiate with the Qinghe Army after the war, the imperial envoy sent by the imperial court to the Zhennan Army also arrived.
The imperial envoy is the newly appointed Zuo Shilang of the Household Department. He was ordered to the Southern Army this time. In addition to urging and supervising the northward transport of military rations, he also has another important mission, which is to urge the Southern Army and the Qinghe Army to cease fighting and create a new era for the imperial court. condition.
In fact, the imperial envoys to the Qinghe Army and the imperial envoys to the Southern Army set off almost at the same time, but their imperial envoys swaggered along the way, encountered rebel attacks, and arrived in Dongjiang Province after several twists and turns.
