"Empire Hegemony" Chapter 835
On the main road of Dongjiang Province, groups of refugees fled eastward in a mighty way. They dragged their families with them, their faces full of fear and uneasiness.
The rebel army under the command of Yang Hao relies entirely on fighting to support wars and plundering young and strong soldiers, so their reputation is extremely bad.
After hearing that the rebels had invaded Dongjiang Province, the people in the prefectures and counties near the border turned pale with fright, and packed their bags overnight to flee.
Because once it falls into the hands of the rebels, not only will the money be gone, but even the life will be lost.
At this moment, the fleeing crowd was crowded on the eastward road, and the black crowd was like a long dragon with no end in sight.
Countless officials and garrison soldiers of the Far Eastern Dynasty were also surrounded by the fleeing people and fled in panic.
The shadow of the famous tree, Yang Hao, the rebel leader's actions in Yunshan Province, has already spread everywhere.
So the common people hated and feared Yang Hao, the rebel commander, like a plague god, and avoided it.
"Your Highness, the scouts have come to report that the road ahead is blocked by a large number of refugees, making it difficult for the army to pass through."
Southern King Luo Mingyuan led two regiments of 100,000 troops to reinforce Yunshan Province, but just as the army entered the Xinpo Prefecture of Dongjiang Province, something happened in front of them.
Singapore is still a long way from the border area, and the scouts reported that a large number of refugees appeared ahead.
"The weather in Dongjiang Province is going well this year, so why are refugees suddenly appearing?"
Hearing that a large number of refugees appeared ahead, Southern King Luo Mingyuan also frowned, not knowing why.
"Send someone to ask what's going on." Luo Mingyuan ordered.
Soon, the scouts in front brought back detailed information, that is, the rebels had invaded Dongjiang province, and these refugees had all escaped from the border area.
"What, the rebels have invaded Dongjiang Province?"
After hearing the news, Southern King Luo Mingyuan was also taken aback. He did not expect the situation to deteriorate so quickly.
"Where is Song Yu, where are the others?"
Previously, he had issued a death order to General Song Yu, asking him to keep the rebels out of Dongjiang Province.
Now that the rebel army has actually invaded the territory of Dongjiang province, the general Song Yu cannot absolve himself of the blame.
"I don't know."
"Damn it!"
"Then the admiral of Huaixi Mansion, the county magistrates of the counties along the way, what are they doing for defense? Why don't they stop the rebels?"
Facing Nanwang Luo Mingyuan's questioning, the scouts also shrugged helplessly, because they didn't know the situation.
"Your Highness, the rebel army has already invaded the Dongjiang Province. The situation ahead is unclear. I suggest stopping the advance."
Their army along the way was originally going to reinforce Yunshan Province, but now the situation has changed suddenly, and Zhang Qing, chief of staff, knows that he can't proceed rashly.
"Pass my military order, the army will retreat to Xinpo Mansion to stand by."
"Quickly check the situation ahead, and at the same time look for Song Yu and others, and ask them to come to see me!" Southern King Luo Mingyuan ordered with a dark face.
Soon, the messenger took Luo Mingyuan's order to convey.
"His Royal Highness has ordered the entire army to retreat, and the rear team will become the front team, and set up camp in Xinpofu!"
"His Royal Highness has ordered the entire army to retreat, and the rear team will become the front team, and set up camp in Xinpofu!"
After the Southern Army team that was marching west received the order, they also speculated about what happened ahead.
And as a large number of refugees arrived in Singapore, all kinds of rumors were flying all over the sky, which made the Southern Army panic.
Some people say that General Song Yu and his troops have been wiped out, and Song Yu's head was used as a chamber pot by the rebels.
There are also rumors that the rebels killed people without blinking an eye, and they did not leave humans or animals wherever they went, which further intensified the fear of the rebels among the recruits of the Southern Army.
Xu Liang, the head of the First Corps of the Southern Army, did not expect the rebels to be so powerful that they defeated Song Yu and invaded the territory of Dongjiang Province.
"General, I have already discussed with Commander Yang. They will plunder the surrounding areas before attacking Xinpo Mansion. At that time, the general will need to cooperate to take down Luo Mingyuan in one fell swoop."
At this time, the chief of staff sent out to contact the rebels also returned to the army, bringing good news to Xu Liang.
Thinking that he will join forces with the rebels to kill the Southern King Luo Mingyuan and become the leader of the Southern Army, Xu Liang couldn't help butExcited.
Because there used to be a lot of talents in the Southern Army, Xu Liang was nothing, he was very satisfied as a regiment commander, and he didn't dare to ask for a higher position.
However, following a series of wars, the generals of the Southern Army fell one after another, and there are not many generals of Xu Liang's level.
Especially now that he and Luo Mingyuan have many conflicts, and they have reached the point where fire and water are incompatible.
Now without the constraints of other generals, Xu Liang decided to take a risk and take down Luo Mingyuan directly, making himself the boss.
Although he wanted to put Luo Mingyuan to death in his heart, Xu Liang still expressed obedience to Luo Mingyuan on the surface, with a submissive appearance, because he knew that the time had not come.
The Southern Army led by Luo Mingyuan stationed in Xinpo Mansion, Dongjiang Province, and sent countless scouts and rangers forward to spy on the news.
And a steady stream of refugees also flocked to Xinpo Prefecture. Seeing the army stationed here, they felt more at ease and stopped fleeing eastward.
The influx of a large number of refugees into Singapore also increased the chaos and burden of Singapore to a certain extent.
When the refugees fled for their lives, they didn't bring much. Even if they brought dry food, they still had enough to eat on the way.
Therefore, the admiral of the Singapore government had to open a warehouse to release food to relieve these refugees who were starving for food.
And the rebels also knew that there was a large army of the Southern Army stationed here, so they were not in a hurry to advance here.
The rebel army led by Yang Hao swept through the surrounding areas, and at the same time threatened the young and strong, they drove a large number of old, weak, sick and disabled to Xinpofu, which increased the burden on the southern army, consumed the food of the southern army, and spread panic at the same time.
General Song Yu of the Southern Army learned that the Southern King Luo Mingyuan had arrived here, and he also brought his remnants of defeated generals to join him.
At the same time, those admirals, county magistrates, and garrison officers who had lost their city also rushed to Xinpo Mansion to seek asylum.
Because there are rebels everywhere around now, and the southern army is stationed here, which is relatively safe.
Seeing these officials at all levels who fled here, when they received them, Southern King Luo Mingyuan was also out of anger.
"The rebel offensive is too fierce, and they are as cunning as a fox"
Song Yu, the general who sits on one side, has been defeated by the rebels in a row. Seeing Luo Mingyuan now, he is like a mouse after seeing a cat. He is busy explaining and begging for leniency.
"Stop talking, I've already given you the chance to redeem yourself, but you didn't seize it!"
"From now on, I will be dismissed from all positions, sent to prison, and executed after autumn!"
Facing General Song Yu's explanation, Luo Mingyuan, who was getting angry, naturally couldn't listen to it, and directly ordered his dismissal and investigation.
Seeing that General Song Yu had been dismissed and investigated, the admirals, county magistrates and garrison officers were also frightened.
But they also know about their own life and death, and they are scrambling to explain and beg for mercy.
"Your Highness, we only have 500 defenders in Huaixi Mansion. We fought desperately, but we really couldn't stop the rebels. Your Highness, please learn from us!"
"You lost the Huaixi mansion, there are reasons for it, this time the death penalty can be avoided, the living crime cannot escape, and you will be beaten with fifty army sticks."
"Thank you, Your Highness, for not killing me¡ª"
"Your Highness, there are too many rebels. They rushed up like a tide. We fought desperately and killed hundreds of people. We did our best." A county magistrate also hurriedly said.
"Why, do I still have to ask for credit for you?" Luo Mingyuan snorted coldly.
"The defenders of Huaixi Mansion were dispatched to the front line. Their strength is weak. It is understandable that they were defeated by the rebels. However, your county has 1,000 guards and 3,000 militiamen. How can you do your best with only a hundred dead?!" Luo Mingyuan snapped. asked rhetorically.
"Come here, pull it down, cut it off!"
"Your Highness, please forgive me, please forgive me!" (Remember the website URL: www.hlnovel.com - Didn't finish reading?
