"Empire Hegemony" Chapter 1056
In a forest in Beichuan Province, dilapidated military tents were scattered among the trees.
Groups of rebel soldiers sat around the bonfire, cooking porridge with wild vegetables in broken iron pots, all of them looked listless.
At the beginning, due to the drought in various provinces, many areas had no crops, so a vigorous uprising broke out.
However, the various armies of the Great Uprising were peasants who had put down their hoes and picked up their weapons.
After robbing a certain amount of food, they have already solved the problem of food and clothing. Because of the limitation of their vision, they broke out the uprising army just for eating and drinking.
As the Far Eastern imperial court sent troops to suppress them, these rebels either fell into bandits and became kings of the mountain.
Or continue to carry the banner of the rebel army, but dare not fight head-on with the imperial army, so they can only move to various prefectures and counties and become rogues.
Some of them were wiped out by the imperial court's conquest army, and some saw that the situation was not right, so they directly surrendered to the imperial court.
This is also the reason why the troops from all walks of life in the vigorous uprising eventually disappeared.
However, it is the Qinghe Army that rose in Qinghe Province that was able to succeed in the uprising's troops and continue to grow and develop into a powerful force.
Now the Qinghe Army led by Chen Ziang has occupied the five provinces, and many rebels who can't get along have gone to seek refuge one after another.
Because Beichuan Province is too far away from the Qinghe Army's control area, and there are many towns along the way, guarded by imperial soldiers, they have no way to seek refuge.
Fortunately, the Qinghe Army led the formation of the Rebel Alliance, and the rebels in Beichuan Province also gathered together and formed a legion, the Beichuan Legion.
Although the Beichuan Legion belongs to the troops under the Rebel Alliance, they hide in the deep mountains and dense forests, and still live a miserable life.
The reason why they are still persisting now is because they have a deep blood feud with the Far Eastern court, otherwise, they would have surrendered long ago because they did not have enough food and clothing.
Now they are hiding in the deep mountains and dense forests, hoping that the Qinghe Army will overthrow the Far Eastern court as soon as possible, and they will be able to live a good life.
But what the rebel soldiers of the Beichuan Army didn't know was that they had become pawns of the Qinghe Army, and it was impossible for them to sit back and reap the rewards.
Now General Zhou Ba of the Qinghe Army has arrived at the Beichuan Army. Of course, his current identity is not the general of the Qinghe Army, but a special envoy of the Rebel Alliance in name.
The nominal task of Zhou Ba, the special envoy, is to convey the latest orders of the Rebel Alliance, and at the same time give military guidance to the Beichuan Legion hiding in the mountains.
In fact, Zhou Ba was sent by Chen Ziang to command the Beichuan Army, and wanted to stab the heart of the Far Eastern court.
Zhou Ba, the special envoy of the rebel army, was a mountain king before he joined Chen Ziang.
Therefore, I am all too familiar with these rebel teams composed of ordinary people, bandits, and rogues.
After Zhou Ba arrived at the army in Beichuan Province, he seemed harmless to humans and animals on the surface, and traveled with the high-level generals of the Beichuan Army, drinking and having fun.
In fact, Zhou Ba was secretly familiarizing himself with the surrounding terrain, and at the same time secretly communicated with the infiltrated middle and lower-level officers, preparing for the command of the Beichuan Army.
When Zhou Ba, the special envoy of the rebel army, first arrived at the Beichuan Army, the senior officials of the Beichuan Army were also full of hostility to him.
After all, they are far away from the emperor here, and suddenly the Rebel Alliance sent a special envoy to make them vigilant.
However, after seeing Zhou Ba's actions, they also relaxed their vigilance, but they didn't know that this was Zhou Ba's secret work on the Mingxiu Plank Road.
After these days of secret scheduling and busy work, Zhou Ba not only figured out the surrounding situation, but also gradually mastered the army.
After all, most of the officers in the middle and lower ranks were infiltrated from the Qinghe Army. With their support, Zhou Ba would naturally be able to control the army.
It's just that Zhou Ba is very clear that if he wants to completely control this army, he can't just rely on the support of middle and lower officers, and he has to win the support of most soldiers.
After all, I have just arrived, and if I suddenly seize power, even if the officers support it, the soldiers will be affected by the turmoil. Once the morale of the army is disturbed, the combat effectiveness will be greatly reduced.
So Zhou Ba needs a hearty victory to establish his own prestige, and then he can successfully seize power.
good?At this time, good news came from the Department of Civil Affairs of the Intelligence Research Institute, that is, most of the garrison forces of Nanfeng Mansion in Beichuan Province have been withdrawn, and now only a few hundred old and weak are left behind.
The Far Eastern imperial court and the rebels fought inextricably on the front line, so the young and strong in each province were also drawn out.
Just the garrison of Nanfeng Mansion in Beichuan Province was mobilized for three rounds, and there were more than 2,000 troops when Zhou Ba arrived.
More than 2,000 local guards guarded the fortified city, and Zhou Ba felt that unless the entire Beichuan army attacked, it would be difficult to capture Nanfeng Mansion.
But now it is different. There are only hundreds of old, weak, sick and disabled in Nanfeng Mansion. This is a good opportunity.
"Drinking all day is meaningless. I want to go to Nanfeng Mansion to rob and rob hundreds of girls and come back to have fun."
At a banquet, Zhou Ba, the special envoy of the rebel army, proposed the idea of ??leading troops to attack while the high-level executives of the legion were drinking.
"Nanfeng Mansion is guarded by two thousand imperial elites, it is too dangerous."
"That's right, Mr. Special Envoy, if you want a girl, we will go to another place to get it for you."
When the senior officials of the Beichuan Legion heard that Zhou Ba wanted to lead troops to attack Nanfeng Mansion, they all dissuaded him, worrying that he might make a mistake.
After all, the Rebel Alliance is still giving them some things from the Beichuan Legion. If the special envoy makes a mistake, they can't afford to go around.
The most important thing is that they don't want to distribute the military power to Zhou Ba, and they are worried that Zhou Ba will take the opportunity to seize power.
"Women in the countryside don't have the water spirit of the women in Nanfeng Mansion."
"You don't have to be afraid, give me five hundred elites, and I will definitely be able to take down Nanfeng Mansion."
Zhou Ba naturally knew what the top leaders of the Beichuan Army were worried about, so he just said that he wanted five hundred soldiers.
Compared with the nearly ten thousand troops of the Beichuan Army, five hundred soldiers and horses are indeed not many.
Even if Zhou Ba had mastered these five hundred people, he could not threaten their position in the Beichuan Army.
After thinking twice, the senior officials of the Beichuan Legion agreed with Zhou Ba's idea of ??attacking.
However, they still repeatedly urged Zhou Ba not to be aggressive, and to withdraw if the situation was not right.
Although they said so, they actually wanted to see Zhou Ba's jokes. If Zhou Ba lost the battle, then he, the special envoy, would not be able to threaten their status at all.
However, these Beichuan high-level generals did not know that there were no two thousand elite enemies in Nanfeng Mansion at all, only a few hundred old, weak, sick and disabled.
After Zhou Ba got 500 soldiers and horses, he quickly bid farewell to the top management of the Beichuan Army, and then led his troops to attack. (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
