Chapter 196: Son-in-law (Part 2)

Although crossing the river, the march was moderate, and not a hundred thousand troops rushed forward in a swarm.

Wang Hongyi rushed to Jiangling again. Although he had long since ordered that the "yellow sand covers the ground, clear water and clean the road", he still had a welcome ceremony before he slowly entered the city.

After being managed by Zheng Pingyuan and temporarily built, the palace is still very good now.

It’s just that spring comes, the vines sprout, with antique colors.

The inner palace, the front hall, the left and right garrisons, the official office, the fifth squad of the inner guards, and the defenses of the various troops were all arranged.

The sun was shining in the afternoon, and Wang Hongyi was walking. Although the traces of refreshing were still there, each mountain, stone, flower and tree were all interesting. In the distance was a small lake filled with flowers, plants and trees, and a curved corridor in the side courtyard. A little further away, there were several temples, surrounded by thousands of bamboos.

Wang Hongyi smiled and thought to himself: "Not bad!"

This was only visible in the garden in the previous life, so when you enter, you will see another winding corridor at the entrance, and there is a stone paved road below the steps. There are three rooms inside, one bright and two dark, but no one lives there.

Looking at these, Wang Hongyi had a unique flavor. He saw a large area of ​​rich red air lingering like clouds in the scenery and the house. In the red air, there was a faint golden air.

This is the auspiciousness that comes with you.

There are several types of red energy, one is the main military energy.

The second is the auspiciousness of the emperor. Every time the emperor is born or where he is located, red energy basically appears.

But in Wang Hongyi's view, this red energy only means the rise of luck. It is like a young man's vitality, and the appearance of golden yellow is relatively mature.

If you have a great destiny, you can follow the "red air like a tide, golden as clouds, and purple air" which is a great aura, but if you look at it, most of the houses are still red air, which means that there may be peace and order in the area you rule, and you will not have peace and prosperity.

When I thought about it, I was too arrogant. Generally speaking, the energy of the world is golden. This is only after unifying the world, and only after the population reproduction and prosperity.

During the Shang, Xia and Zhou dynasties, even though the Emperor Shengming was in power, he could only remain black and red, which was due to insufficient population and career.

After the Qin, Han, Jin and Sui, until the prosperous period of the Sui and Tang Dynasties, the world's spirit turned golden. This is why the emperor only wore golden yellow in the future.

Even if this era is equivalent to the Song Dynasty on Earth, with enough population and career, you must unify your country and "bright yellow all over the world". Therefore, golden yellow is a great auspicious spirit, which is prosperous and prosperous. It is easy for individuals and families to reach it. If you want to expand it to the world, you must be prosperous.

Wang Hongyi smiled slightly and looked into the distance.

In the distance, the red military spirit surged into the sky, spanning the river, and further away, the pillar of the luck representing the Zheng Pingyuan has declined to an extreme.

Having the way to defeating the way is that simple.

Wuling County

The buildings and fields that extend outside the city with walls have become white land and a moat has been introduced into the water surrounding the city, and it is clean within 500 meters.

The captains Peng Yu and Zhang Chu, who were responsible for patrolling this area, led a hundred soldiers to head into the county town without any rush.

Due to the overnight patrol, these soldiers were a little tired and looked listless.

"Everyone is cheered up!" Peng Yu had a hot temper. When he saw this, he immediately became angry and shouted loudly: "Look at what you are all like, ah? They are like turtles with their heads raised! Lift their heads up! Let's go with their backs! No? Bah! A bunch of cowards!"

The soldier was scolded and became more cautious.

If this happens in the past, Zhang Chu, who is also a captain, will definitely come forward and become a good person to persuade Peng Yu.

But Zhang Chu has also seemed restless these days, and he was riding on the horse, and he looked worried at this time.

When he glanced at him, Peng Yu became more and more angry when he saw this.

Along the way, the whip in his hand blew several people, making the soldiers scream.

"Brother Peng, please calm down!" Seeing this, Zhang Chu slowly urged him to come forward and persuade him.

"I'm so relieved when the soldiers are tired after patrolling all night. You should save some effort!" Zhang Chu reminded him in a bad mood: "The county magistrate is not in a good mood these days. Be careful when he goes back, you make him angry..."

"The county magistrate has indeed had evil fire these days, and he has scolded and demoted several people." Peng Yu took back the whip in disappointment, and lined up with Zhang Chu, looking depressed.

Zhang Chu knew some inside information and sighed: "Brother Peng, you are not unaware. Now that the army of Northern Chu is approaching, the surrounding counties have been broken, and in a blink of an eye, the troops will come to the city. Wouldn't the prefect be anxious?"

Peng Yu snorted and was about to speak, when suddenly, a sound of horse hooves came from a distance and came into the ears of the two.

What's going on? Which team will pass by at this time?

Peng Yu and Zhang Chu immediately showed a hint of doubt and vigilance on their faces.

"One person came over and went to the front to find out!" Peng Yu pondered and ordered a cavalry to go down to investigate the situation.

Just a moment later, the rider returned and reported: "No, it's the enemy's ranger!"

In an instant, Peng Yu and Zhang Chu's faces changed drastically, and they immediately ordered: "Retreat, retreat to the city."

At this time, it was not far from the city gate, and immediately retreated.

However, the Northern Chu army seemed to be very brave. Even a dozen cavalry dared to rush over, but in an instant, they had already arrived in front of Peng Yu and Zhang Chu!

The order to retreat was issued, and the soldiers wanted to return to the city desperately. After being attacked, they immediately shouted and screamed, one after another!

"Quick! Retreat!" Peng Yu shouted, and wanted to take people into the city.

"Where to go!" Before Peng Yu escaped, the Ranger Captain behind him had already seen it. He shouted loudly, rode his horse forward, and slashed the long sword in his hand towards him.

Peng Yu quickly turned around and used weapons to block it, but he didn't expect the other party to change the moves in the middle and swept over.

In a hurry, Peng Yu was unstable and could not tell the truth. When the blade had arrived, he suddenly reacted, his eyes immediately widened...

As the blood splattered, a human head rolled to the ground.

After turning over, the city had already reacted. A large number of archers stepped forward and took arrows to shoot. The racist shouted and retreated.

After retreating for half an hour, the horn sounded and continued. A red spot appeared outside the city, and the tide approached, and the sword armor was cold and cold.

The brigade of infantry and cavalry arrived at the city of Wuling.

At this time, no matter how slow the civil and military officials in the county came.

Looking up from the city, there was a red ocean, not just the flags, but the paper armor was painted red.

The prefect Zhong Yang and the guard Lin Chengliang all looked down and glanced at it. They saw that the city was covered with red-armored soldiers, connected from beginning to end, and could not see the edge at first glance.

One of them was filled with huge banners, which attracted great attention.

"Hiss, there are only 17,000 of five."

The Northern Chu organization has already known that the five guards and one capital, plus the logistics unit, have a total of 3,300 people in one capital, and all five are almost 17,000.

The civil and military generals looked out from afar and looked down, and their faces looked like earth.

The total strength of the five counties in Nanchu is only 50,000, plus the 20,000 naval divisions, has reached its limit.

Moreover, these 50,000 people were all formed shortly after they formed an army, and many of them were surrendered.

The most terrifying thing is that most of them were transferred to Changsha County in Zheng Pingyuan. Now there are only 6,000 in the county. How can we fight against this 7,000 army?

"Sir, I heard the news that the ships in Yuekou County are still transporting, and a large number of Chu troops are still gathering. Not only are there 17,000 in front of me, but there are 30,000 and 50,000 behind me!" The general and the civil servant were a little distance from each other, so someone whispered to the prefect Zhong Yang.

Hearing this news, the prefect Zhong Yang whispered: "Nothing."

But his judgment and intelligence on the situation told him that all this was true.

"Sir, this matter is absolutely true. Please make a decision soon!"

"Yes, sir! Those who come here are all generals according to the banner. According to the rules of the Chu army, those who do not surrender will be washed away and let them attack the city, for fear of the loss of life!"

Although someone persuaded him, the prefect Zhong Yang smiled bitterly and glanced at the soldiers not far away.

Wuling was long been acquired by Zheng Pingyuan, and all the soldiers and generals were his. Although he was the prefect and could influence officials, he could not affect the army.

It is impossible to surrender until the army is consumed.

"Mr. County Magistrate, I have sent a letter to my lord. It won't take long to get reinforcements. Please be sure to be firm in your mind and guard this city!" At this time, General Lin Chengliang, with Dingdang's armor, came over and talked, and swept over the civil servant with his sharp eyes.

"Of course, even if we can't fight, it's still no problem to defend for a while!" The prefect Zhong Yang said calmly, as if there was no hesitation just now.

The civil servants around them were also serious and bowed: "One!"

Du Gongzhen, Lu Zhongcheng, Xue Gang, Zhang Xiang, and Li Cai are all surrendered generals. Now Wang Hongyi is at its peak. These people have changed their minds and hope to achieve success.

When they arrived at the city, the suspension bridge was hanging high and the city gate was closed. The soldiers on the city held bows and crossbows in their hands, and were in a tense posture.

"Ha, it's really like the same thing..." Under the banner, Du Gongzhen looked up at the city tower in the distance with disdain and sneered.

"General Du, will you attack the city immediately?" someone asked. Although all five were commanders, Du Gongzhen was the temporary commander.

Du Gongzhen said lightly: "Send someone to call first. If you insist on not surrendering, you will attack the city."

"No." After a while, a person with strong and loud voices took turns to the city to shout and persuade him to surrender.

As long as he shouted and scolded, the city ignored it at all.

Du Gongzhen was not upset. Seeing that the other party was not out of the city to fight, he said to the surroundings: "We came quickly this time and didn't invite the Pili cart, but there were still other catapults, let them attack the city first."

"Yes, General!" The troops had been waiting for this order for a long time. When they heard the order, they immediately began to push the trencher and arrived fifty meters away.
Chapter completed!
