"Empire Hegemony" Chapter 991
"What, His Highness Prince Ning was beheaded for public display?"
In a valley in the west of Luyang Province, the barracks stretched for several miles. In the large tent of the Chinese army, General Liu Yan, who was wearing a golden armor, was horrified when he heard that King Ning had been captured and killed.
"The thieves have already beheaded His Royal Highness King Ning, and circulated his head to various prefectures and counties." The spy disguised as a commoner replied.
"It's simply too much deception!"
After hearing the spy's answer, Liu Yan, General Zhengdong, also slammed his fist on the table, shaking the teacup.
After all, King Ning was also a member of the royal family. Not to mention that the Qinghe Army beheaded him, and circulated his head in various prefectures and counties for public display. Undoubtedly, the Qinghe Army's actions offended Liu Yan.
Seeing the angry General Liu Yan of Zhengdong, the generals under his tent all looked at each other in blank dismay, not knowing what kind of medicine Liu Yan was selling in his gourd.
After all, it is no secret that King Ning's separatist regime has become a confidant of the court. Liu Yan was ordered by the court to enter Luyang Province to assist King Ning in fighting against the Qinghe Army. In fact, he also wanted to regain control of Luyang Province.
Moreover, Liu Yan, General Zhengdong, was not related to King Ning, and the death of King Ning actually had little impact on Liu Yan.
However, Liu Yan was extremely angry, which made the generals under his command also puzzled.
"General, His Royal Highness King Ning was brutally slaughtered by the bandit army. We were ordered to conquer the bandit army. We should send out all our troops to avenge His Highness King Ning!"
Although most people were puzzled, a staff member under the account quickly understood Liu Yan's intentions, and immediately stood up filled with righteous indignation.
Liu Yan glanced at the staff member under the tent, his eyes were full of approval, because the staff member had guessed his thoughts.
"Yes, revenge for His Royal Highness King Ning!"
Another staff member immediately stood up and shouted loudly, as if King Ning was his father.
"What are the opinions of the generals?"
Seeing the generals in the military tent who hadn't reacted yet, Liu Yan looked around and asked for their opinions.
"His Royal Highness King Ning was killed by the bandit army. As a court army, it is our duty to avenge His Highness King Ning." A general said.
"Kill the thief army and avenge His Royal Highness King Ning!" Someone followed closely.
"Okay, then tomorrow we will raise our army to face the bandit army and avenge His Royal Highness King Ning!"
Seeing that the emotions of the generals were also aroused, General Liu Yan of Zhengdong also clenched his fists tightly and waved them fiercely.
Soon, at the behest of Liu Yan, the court general who conquered the East, the 100,000 imperial guards were also mobilized, and Liu Yan boosted the morale of the army with hatred.
At the same time, Liu Yan also ordered people to play the banner of revenge for King Ning, and sent out multiple scouts to spread the news that the imperial court sent a large army to avenge King Ning.
King Ning previously commanded a large number of mighty troops to separate one side. Although he did not break face with the court, he did not make peace with the court.
Although the imperial court dispatched the Governor of Luyang Province, he could not hold any real power at all.
The appointment of officials in the prefectures and counties of Luyang Province is also in the hands of King Ning, and the imperial court has almost lost control of Luyang Province.
The imperial court ordered Liu Yan to send troops to assist King Ning this time, and also wanted to take back Luyang Province.
It's just that the strength of the mighty army still exists. Liu Yan, the court's general who conquered the east, deliberately dawdled along the way, always wandering in the border area.
Liu Yan's intention is very simple, that is, he wants King Ning and the Qinghe Army to fight to the death, and then he will go up to pick up bargains.
It's just that what he didn't expect was that the Qinghe army was so powerful that it wiped out the mighty army and King Ning in such a short period of time.
At this time, Liu Yan could no longer remain indifferent, so he decided to speed up immediately and go to Luyang Province to grab the territory.
However, although King Ning died and the mighty army was destroyed, the strategy of the Qinghe army was to destroy the enemy's vital forces first, and not care about the gains and losses of a city or a place.
Therefore, there are still many prefectures and counties in Luyang Province that are in the hands of officials appointed by the original King Ning.
How to quickly snatch these sites into his hands is also a problem facing Liu Yan.
Fortunately, Liu Yan's brain turned quickly, and he decided to play the banner of revenge for King Ning.
As long as he played the banner of revenge for King Ning, then it turns out that King Ning?Those remnant soldiers and defeated generals must have a friendly attitude towards them, and will vigorously support them and get close to them so as to reduce their resistance.
Moreover, he played the banner of revenge for King Ning, and those ordinary soldiers who didn't understand the trick would also be driven by hatred to boost their morale.
Liu Yan was able to climb to the position of General Zhengdong step by step. In addition to his deep network of contacts, he himself is also quite capable.
Sure enough, after Liu Yan's army played the banner of revenge for King Ning, it quickly received good results.
? At noon the next day, a county magistrate appointed by King Ning led the yamen guards to join him, and was willing to lead them to suppress the thieves.
Following the county magistrate appointed by King Ning to defect to them, officials from various prefectures and counties under the command of King Ning also came to vote one after another.
At the same time, many rich and powerful families also organized family private soldiers one after another, carrying wine and meat to comfort the army who avenged King Ning along the way.
Although King Ning, the overlord of the separatist regime, continued to exploit and squeeze the people, the officials under his command and the gentry under his rule have gained a lot of benefits.
These people are all die-hard fans of King Ning. The Qinghe army beheaded King Ning. They hated the Qinghe army deeply. At the same time, they knew that the Qinghe army was going to divide the land, and they were worried that their own interests would be damaged, so they hated the Qinghe army even more.
Seeing that Liu Yan played the banner of revenge for King Ning, they naturally gathered under Liu Yan's command and formed a group against the Qinghe Army.
In this group fighting against the Qinghe army, apart from the officials of various prefectures and counties, there are also stragglers from wealthy families and the mighty army scattered everywhere.
In just a few days, there were as many as hundreds of officials from the former Luyang province who defected to Liu Yan's command, and there were countless gentry families.
These people are not only familiar with the local area, but also have a lot of wine, meat, money and food in the local area. With their support, Liu Yan's army is also advancing rapidly.
After the Qinghe Army occupied the capital of Luyang Province, Li Lang, the front-line commander, took command of the capital city.
His deputy commander, Zhou Ba, led an army northward, preparing to guard the northern border area to prevent the rebel forces from getting involved in Luyang Province.
Deputy Commander Lei Ming led part of the Ninth Banner Regiment of the Cavalry and the Thirteenth Banner Regiment of the Cavalry to the west of the province, preparing to repel Liu Yan's imperial army.
In addition, Zhang Bao, Wang Cheng and others divided their troops into several groups. They began to occupy the prefectures and counties under the jurisdiction of Luyang Province one by one to eliminate bandits and bandits, and to assist the working group of the government affairs government to implement actual occupation of the local area.
