    "Empire Hegemony" Chapter 831

    When Wang Cheng, the surrendered general of the Southern Army, secretly rushed to Dongjiang Province, at the border area between Dongjiang Province and Yunshan Province, the atmosphere was extremely tense.

    General Song Yu of the Southern Army knew very well in his heart that once Yang Hao's rebels were allowed to enter the Dongjiang Province, his black hat would definitely be lost.

    So he also mobilized all the forces he could mobilize to guard against Yang Hao's rebels in the border area.

    However, under the leadership of Deputy Commander Liu Yidao, the Qinghe Army, the 60,000 elites of the three banner regiments also suppressed the border heavily in the name of assisting in suppressing the rebels.

    Yang Hao's rebel army burned, killed and looted everywhere, and the people of countless villages were coerced into the army by them, and the team grew like a snowball, but their situation was quite bad.

    Because there were 60,000 Qinghe soldiers from three banner regiments approaching behind them, and there was a blockade line formed by the Southern Army in front, they were facing the danger of being attacked from both sides.

    The most important thing is that they have no rear now, and they rely entirely on fighting to support war. Once they are surrounded in this area, they will be in danger of running out of food.

    Although the ranks are growing and the morale of the army is high, every day the soldiers in the army drink and eat meat, everything seems to be improving.

    However, Yang Hao and Wu Feng, the chief of staff, and the other high-level rebels knew that all this was just an illusion. In fact, their lives were hanging by a thread, and the entire army would be wiped out if they were not careful.

    "Invade Dongjiang Province, grab money, food, and girls!"

    The rebel leader Yang Hao knew that the situation was extremely unfavorable to them, so he also put forward the slogan of entering Dongjiang Province in a timely manner.

    Under the deliberate propaganda sent by Yang Hao, Dongjiang Province has become synonymous with prosperity and prosperity.

    As long as they enter Dongjiang Province, they can eat delicious food, drink spicy food, and live a happy life.

    ?The rebel army had more victories and fewer losses in the battle with the southern army, and they dismissed the southern army. Therefore, under Yang Hao's instigation, their morale was also high, and their desire to enter the Dongjiang province became even stronger.

    The rebel army commanded by Yang Hao quickly launched a fierce attack on the southern army's defense line. In just a few days, they tore through the southern army's three defense lines, less than 50 miles away from the border area.

    General Song Yu of the Southern Army personally led the army to sit in the border area and commanded the army to intercept the rebels, but the defense line was still crumbling.

    Facing the ferocious offensive of the rebel troops, the reserve troops in the hands of General Song Yu continued to move up to plug the gap, but it was still to no avail.

    Because the rebels have cruel military laws, under the pressure of such military laws, once they enter the battlefield, there is no way to retreat. Unless a unit is exhausted or the officer gives an order to retreat, they will not retreat.

    Although the southern army is also expanding its army on a large scale, compared with those desperate rebels, it is not the slightest difference in terms of combat effectiveness and fighting will.

    "Ask for help from His Royal Highness Nan Wang!"

    General Song Yu retreated steadily in the face of the frenzied attack of the rebels, and finally had to urgently send someone to the Southern King Luo Mingyuan for help.

    Previously, Song Yu was worried about being punished, so he kept concealing the battle on the front line, reporting good news but not bad news, which made Luo Mingyuan feel that the situation was good and that everything was under control.

    Now that he suddenly heard Song Yu's report that the rebels were about to invade Dongjiang province, Luo Mingyuan was not prepared for it at all.

    "Bastard Song Yu, I want to get rid of him!"

    After Luo Mingyuan figured out the ins and outs of the matter, he knew that Song Yu had concealed the defeat of the Heze Mansion and others in the previous period, which led to the continuous growth of the rebel forces and the deterioration of the situation in Yunshan Province. Luo Mingyuan also cursed angrily.

    "Your Highness, please calm down. Now the rebel army has a tendency to move eastward. Once the rebel army enters Dongjiang Province, the consequences will be disastrous. We must find a solution as soon as possible."

    Zhang Qing, chief of staff of the Southern Army, was shocked when he got the report, but he knew that now was not the time to pursue responsibility.  It's about how to prevent the rebels from entering Dongjiang Province.

    "Send an order to Song Yu, and I will give him a chance to atone for his sins. Be sure to hold the rebels in the border area for at least half a month, and stand by for help. Otherwise, old scores and new ones will be settled together!"

    Although Luo Mingyuan was very angry, if Song Yu, the general of the army, was removed from his position, the Yunshan Province would have no leader, and the rebels would break through the border defenses and enter the Dongjiang Province.

    So he gave Song Yu a chance to make meritorious deeds and atone for his sins, that is, to drag the rebels forward at all costs.cut.

    "Mr. Zhang, which troops do you think we should transfer to stop the rebels?"

    Luo Mingyuan knew that if Song Yu could get rid of the rebels, he would not take the risk to ask him for help.

    So he had to dispatch an army to the border area for reinforcements to ensure that the rebels could be repelled and prevent the rebels from entering the territory of Dongjiang province.

    "Your Highness, the First Corps are all elite veterans, and General Xu is a veteran in the battlefield. If they go to stop the rebels, they will definitely be able to repel the rebels."

    After thinking about it for a while, Chief of Staff Zhang Qing suggested that Luo Mingyuan transfer Xu Liang's First Corps to reinforce Yunshan Province.

    "Okay, then transfer the First Corps."

    After thinking for a few seconds, Luo Mingyuan understood what Chief of Staff Zhang Qing meant, which was to kill with a knife.

    Xu Liang's First Corps was not his direct line of troops, and Xu Liang's repeated obedience and injustice, and his close relationship with the Qinghe Army made him very upset, and he wanted to get rid of him a long time ago.

    The last time Xu Liang was asked to fight the Qinghe army, he also wanted to consume Xu Liang, but Xu Liang was as slippery as a loach.

    Later, he asked Xu Liang to be responsible for raising food and grass, trying to transfer him from the post of leader.

    However, the Qinghe Army obstructed it, signed an armistice agreement, and appointed them to send Xu Liang, but it failed.

    Xu Liang is a general in charge of the army, and the First Corps under his command is monolithic, which makes him unable to get in. Luo Mingyuan has long wanted to get rid of him, but because of scruples in all aspects, he dare not do it too straightforwardly.

    This time, Xu Liang's First Corps was transferred to the front line to fight against the rebels. With the rebels' strong fighting power, it was enough for Xu Liang's First Corps to drink a pot.

    "Let the Third Corps go too, and I will lead the troops myself."

    After Luo Mingyuan thought about it, he added another sentence.

    He felt that if Xu Liang was sent to the front line alone, maybe he would be obedient, and he would not actively stop the rebels and cause the rebels to enter the Dongjiang province. Instead, he would shoot himself in the foot.

    So Luo Mingyuan decided to deploy another corps, and at the same time, he went to supervise the battle himself, so that Xu Liang had no way to play tricks.

    Following Luo Mingyuan's order, the order was quickly conveyed to the First and Third Corps of the Southern Army.

    The order requires them to assemble the army within two days from the date of receiving the order, and march towards the direction of Yunshan Province. Those who delay the fighter will be punished by military law.

    The last time the Southern Army was defeated by the Qinghe Army, it can be said that the loss was quite heavy.

    After spending a lot of money and signing an armistice agreement, the Southern Army was able to take a breather.

    Luo Mingyuan knew that there was bound to be another battle between them and the Qinghe army, so he was also actively expanding the army and restoring its strength.

    All the corps are recruiting and expanding their strength. Now the strength of a corps of the Southern Army has reached more than 50,000.

    Although the corps are filled with a large number of recruits, with insufficient weapons and equipment, and insufficient training, at least they look strong.

    The Dongjiang province occupied by the southern army has fertile land, rich food, and a large population, which allowed Luo Mingyuan to expand his army so recklessly.

    If it is placed in the relatively barren provinces in the north, let alone the expansion of each regiment to 50,000 people, the food item will make it impossible for them to expand their army.  (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
