"Empire Hegemony" Chapter 843
Luo Jing issued a military order, demanding that all the southern army units kill the traitor Xu Liang and avenge the Southern King Luo Mingyuan.
The generals of the Southern Army with heavy troops in their hands shouted loudly, but few actually took action.
Although His Royal Highness Luo Jing was angry, he still had to act on what he said and what he poured out.
Moreover, if he, as His Royal Highness, does not take revenge and let his enemies go unpunished, then he is unfilial, and he will not be able to inherit the throne logically.
Therefore, on the one hand, Luo Jing sent people to report the funeral to the imperial court and strive for the canonization of the imperial court; on the other hand, he assembled the army to seek revenge from Xu Liang and build momentum for himself to inherit the throne.
The general with a heavy army is still in a wait-and-see state, but there are still a considerable number of officials and gentry who actively and enthusiastically responded to the call of the eldest son Luo Jing.
After all, once the emperor and courtiers, the Southern King Luo Mingyuan died, and if nothing else happened, Luo Jing would become the new Southern King.
At this moment, many people naturally gathered around Luo Jing one after another, hoping to take this opportunity to hug their thighs and take the opportunity to take the position.
The eldest son Luo Jing set off to fight in Beilu Mansion, Dongjiang Province, and then commanded an army of 150,000, including the elite Skeleton Battalion, to seek revenge on General Xu Liang of the Southern Army.
At the same time, low-level officials and some strong men from all over the country who wanted to take the opportunity to rise to power also took action one after another.
After Southern Army General Xu Liang teamed up with the rebel Yang Hao to defeat the Southern King Luo Mingyuan on the battlefield, he immediately decided to divide the army into two groups to carve up the Dongjiang Province.
When Xu Liang, a general of the southern army, thought that his fortune was coming, he didn't know that he was in big trouble.
Because when the Southern King Luo Mingyuan finally died, Xu Liang led the army into the village.
In addition, the rebels Yang Hao and the others leaked the news intentionally or unintentionally, leading to the spearhead of revenge, directly pointing at Xu Liang, the general of the southern army.
Traitors, white-eyed wolves and other infamy swarmed in, discrediting Xu Liang, a general of the southern army who once held a heavy hand.
Facing a series of infamy, Xu Liang was furious and issued a military order that anyone who scolded him would be punished on the spot.
Although Xu Liang's ears were temporarily cleared, assassins who avenged Luo Mingyuan soon followed.
Some assassins came for money, while others came for fame. Although their goals were different, they had only one goal, which was to get Xu Liang's head.
During the battle to exterminate Luo Mingyuan, Xu Liang was cut in the arm, and the injury has not yet healed.
But this is just the beginning. Soon, various incidents against Xu Liang, such as poisoning and assassination, will continue to happen.
In the process of Xu Liang leading the army to seize the territory, sometimes he encountered five or six attacks a day.
When he walked to the street, someone hidden in the crowd shot him back. When he was eating, someone poisoned his food.
Xu Liang, a general of the southern army, constantly strengthened his guards. He dared not eat food until the guards tasted it, which made him a frightened bird.
"Damn it, I haven't posted this day!"
Facing wave after wave of dead soldiers and assassins, Xu Liang's life was disrupted into a miasma, and even walking was worried that someone would set a trap on the road.
While Xu Liang was being assassinated, the 150,000 army led by the eldest son Luo Jing also rushed over aggressively in the name of conquest.
After Xu Liang's First Corps separated from the rebels, they also captured many towns and incorporated many local garrisons.
However, with all their efforts, their strength has only expanded to more than 80,000 people. Facing the oncoming army of revenge, Xu Liang is also in a dilemma.
If he continues to move forward, he will definitely encounter Luo Jing's revenge army head-on, and a brutal fight cannot be avoided.
But if he withdraws, he will not only become a shrinking turtle, but also won't be able to grab much territory.
Now, under the leadership of Yang Hao, the rebels are attacking cities and villages all the way, but they have captured many prefectures and counties.
Xu Liang and Yang Hao agreed that whoever captured the territory would own it. Seeing Yang Hao conquering the city, Xu Liang was also envious.
Fortunately, only the army led by Luo Jing came here this time. Although the other southern troops responded with their mouths, they did not take real actions, which relieved Xu Liang's pressure a lot.
"Luo Jing's prestige is not enough, the generals from all walks of life are waiting and watching, and they didn't lead the army to come. This is our opportunity."
Seeing Xu Liang is afraidHe didn't dare to fight, and his staff members were also a little impatient, actively persuading Xu Liang to fight Luo Jing.
"As long as the army of Commander Luo Jing is defeated and Luo Jing is beheaded, the Southern Army will truly be without a leader. At that time, the general will be greatly shaken by this battle, and the generals who are watching from all walks of life will come to vote one after another."
The staff members also hope that Xu Liang can take the position of the leader of the Southern Army, and they will rise accordingly.
"But Luo Jing has an elite skeleton battalion under his command. They are unparalleled in combat power. I am worried that they will not be able to win."
Although Xu Liang was a little moved by his staff, he was still quite afraid of the skeleton camp that Luo Mingyuan had set up.
"The Skeleton Camp has been expanded again and again, and now it looks powerful, but it is actually an embroidered pillow, which is just fancy but not useful." The staff member said.
"The commander of the Skeleton Battalion is my good friend, and I am willing to persuade him to surrender." Another aide recommended himself.
"Okay, as long as you can make the Skeleton Battalion quit, I will definitely reward you! Promote you to chief of staff!"
Xu Liang was overjoyed to hear that one of his staff members actually met the commander of the Skeleton Battalion, and sent him to bring a lot of money to win him over.
This staff member also wanted to make contributions wholeheartedly, so he quickly rushed to Luo Jing's army with a lot of money.
Indeed, as he said, he was acquainted with the commander of the Skeleton Battalion, and he also straightforwardly explained his reason for coming.
The Skeleton Camp was formed by Luo Mingyuan, and the generals were all confidant generals, loyal to Luo Mingyuan.
Although Luo Mingyuan is gone now, his son Luo Jing is still there, and the Skeleton Camp is now loyal to Luo Jing.
Facing the aides sent by Xu Liang to persuade him to surrender, the commander of the skeleton battalion agreed, but turned around and reported the situation to his eldest son Luo Jing.
"Don't kill the person who persuaded him to surrender, we will plan"
After Luo Jing got the report, he praised the commander of the Skeleton Battalion, and the general was promoted to the general of the Southern Army, and at the same time decided to follow suit.
Soon, the staff sent by Xu Liang returned to the camp with joy, and reported to Xu Liang the progress of persuading surrender.
Xu Liang was also overjoyed when he learned that the persuasion to capitulate was successful. As long as they have the skeleton battalion as their internal support, they will definitely be able to win the battle.
As long as His Royal Highness Luo Jing is eliminated, no one will be able to stop his footsteps anymore, and the various southern troops who are waiting and watching may come to join him one after another.
Soon, Xu Liang personally led his 80,000 troops to the outskirts of the capital of Dongjiang Province, and launched an attack on the capital. Luo Jing's 150,000 troops also arrived here a day later. (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
