The prisoners in Hebi County were all stunned.
What's happening here
He captured Hebi County, killed all the generals, and then left again
Is it really like what Li Zhen said, you just open the door and I just pass by
The unarmed prisoners and the common people looked at each other in shock, watching the brightly lit Dongzhou Army roar away like a long dragon. Don't know what to do.
Don't know what to do.
Don't know where to go.
Don't even know what it means.
Before leaving, at least give everyone an order.
They killed all the generals and left them all in disarray without a leader. Who listens to whom? Who can give an accurate order for everyone to do what
Even if you kill me, you still have to give us something to do when you leave. Why do we have so many prisoners? I won’t go with your team or arrange anything to do.
"What are we doing?"
"Follow them to Balong City, or should we go to Dongzhou to seek refuge?"
"What should we do? At least leave it to someone who can arrange the order."
"Fortunately, he didn't kill me."
"Centurion Liu, now you are the biggest official among us. Whatever you tell us to do, we will listen to you."
"No, no, no. I'm not a centurion. I resigned in my heart a minute ago. I'm not me. Don't listen to my arrangements. I'm also waiting for others to arrange. I'm just a big soldier. No, no, no, I'm just a common man."
“…”
joke. Just killed all the high-level and middle-level people in Hebi County. Who dares to claim the throne now
The purpose is self-evident, which is to break them up. It is to prevent them from forming a collective force again, and to let them disperse when they should.
Li Zhen's purpose was to go to Balong City, not capture it.
Everything must be marched quickly. So naturally, we must ensure the safety of the Dongzhou Army to the greatest extent and not allow the forces behind to form an effective counterattack. If we break into Balong City, and those who were captured later defect to the imperial court, forming an effective force to encircle them from both front and rear, wouldn't we be in catastrophe
Therefore, Li Zhen could only use the most efficient and direct way to directly and maximally destroy this possibility. Humans are social animals, and we can exert our greatest strength when we stick together. But it is impossible to hold each other and live together as equals. Human beings also have to be divided into levels.
Li Zhen directly knocked out all the leaders with one punch, breaking up this level and breaking up a group of forces that might be united. This directly avoids future risks.
After a quick march overnight, we headed to Xinxiang County again.
On the way, Qi Lengzi asked: "Li Zhen, are we going directly to Xinxiang? We just captured Hebi County, and it's the middle of the night, and we don't even have a rest?"
Li Zhen squinted his eyes and said: "Tell the whole army. We will capture Xinxiang County and station in Xinxiang County at night. We will continue our journey tomorrow."
"yes."
A piece of news spread to the whole army, and the generals who were exhausted from the long journey immediately perked up and wanted to fight again
We just captured Hebi, are we going to attack Xinxiang County again
But fortunately, at least I know a goal in my heart, and I can rest after I know what I have accomplished.
Around two o'clock in the morning.
Xinxiang County was in chaos.
"People from Dongzhou are calling!"
"Quick, form an emergency queue, the Dongzhou people are calling."
"Oh my God, didn't our general just come back? He said that Dongzhou and Hebi County were at war with each other. What's going on? Why did they call?"
"Aren't you attacking Hebi County?"
"Oh my god, has Hebi County already fallen? Is it so fast?"
“…”
The princess of Xinxiang County was so frightened that she got up from the bed and hurriedly climbed up the tower. Looking into the distance, she saw a long dragon illuminated by lights making a huge movement ten kilometers away.
Those are steam cars. It's the headlight on a steam car.
"What should I do? What should I do, Princess?"
"Oh my god, does it mean that Hebi County didn't even hold on for an hour? It almost came back with the troops sent by Xinxiang County for reinforcements?"
"What should I do, Princess? What should I do now? Hebi County couldn't even resist for a while, let alone our Xinxiang County. Xinxiang County is not a war city in the first place, and it doesn't even have a wall that can be seen through."
“…”
After thinking for a long time, the princess of Xinxiang County shouted: "Gather all the soldiers and horses of Xinxiang County!"
About ten minutes later, thousands of soldiers and horses from the entire Xinxiang County were assembled. The princess rode on a horse and shouted: "Everyone, follow me out of the city..."
Everyone's body trembled, just fight on the plain
After hesitating for a moment, the princess added: "Follow me out and warmly welcome the people from Dongzhou to visit."
“…”
When the Dongzhou Army arrived at Xinxiang County, they saw the lights in front of them brightly lit, and the entire Xinxiang County city was brightly illuminated by the torches. The soldiers and horses of Xinxiang County stood in two rows along the city gate and even raised banners - a warm welcome to Dongzhou comrades as guests.
The banner was pulled up by dozens of soldiers. It had a red background and white characters, and it was huge.
Each word was written in an extremely sloppy manner and was rushed out in a matter of minutes. The ink marks are still dry. Every word is huge. For fear that people in Dongzhou wouldn't see it, some people used flashlights to shine on the banner.
The troops stopped, and Qi Lengzi and others were about to ask Li Zhen for his opinion, but they heard Qi Lengzi's roar resounding throughout the sky:
"Welcome, welcome, warm welcome."
"Welcome, welcome, warm welcome."
“…”
Li Zhen, who was resting on the steam car, was woken up by such a sound. He shook his head and thought he was dreaming. My head stuck out of the car window, but I saw the light ahead was as bright as day.
"Qi Lunzi!"
Li Zhen shouted.
Qi Lengzi, who was in a daze in front, reacted: "Huh?"
"what's up?"
"We've arrived at Xinxiang County."
"Oh, hit me."
"No... listen to me, this matter may be complicated. I don't understand what's going on right now. Why don't you come down and take a look for yourself."
As Li Zhen was thinking about going down, he felt it was a little cold outside, so he shrank his neck and said, "You say it."
"This matter is more complicated. I may not be able to explain it clearly, let General Yang do the talking."
Yang Yuan turned around and glanced at Li Zhen, then jumped to look at Xinxiang County in front of him with confused eyes, and said awkwardly: "Dean Li, this matter... makes me a little unpredictable. I can't be sure for the time being. Is there an ambush? Is this a delaying tactic by the enemy? How about firing a round to test it first?"
"What's going on up front?"
“…”
Li Zhen frowned, put on a large cloak and got out of the steam car, climbed on the roof and looked forward.
There was an orderly queue in front, and there was a sea of people.
Xinxiang County soldiers stood straight along both sides of the road. All the people in Xinxiang County came out of the city, stood with the soldiers, and watched nervously as the Dongzhou Army applauded.
Xinxiang Commandery advocated Qiang riding on his horse, constantly wiping cold sweat and looking uneasily at the quiet Dongzhou troops on the opposite side. My whole body was soaked with cold sweat.
The military and civilians in Xinxiang County were also extremely nervous. Uneasy.
All have been given a warm welcome. Why hasn't anyone come over to take a look? Give me a reaction!
The stalemate lasted for more than a minute. Zhang Qiang scratched his head and scratched his head anxiously. He couldn't stand the stalemate anymore. He quickly jumped off his horse and walked towards Dongzhou's troops, shouting as he walked:
"The people of Xinxiang are the soul of Dongzhou. All of us in Xinxiang County warmly welcome our colleagues from Dongzhou to visit us."
Li Zhen, who was standing on the roof of the car, was also stunned. Seeing the princess shouting and walking over, Li Zhen also felt that this matter was a bit complicated...
I have no idea what is going on.
PS: I'm sick and very weak today. I took a nap to gather my energy before writing some, but I was really dizzy.
Just two updates today. On National Day, I also give myself a day off to recuperate... Admire this.
