Chapter 403 Idle people
There are eight counties in Liangzhou, and Zhu Zi directly governs three counties. Wuwei City is the capital of Liangzhou and the place where Zhu Zi garrisons.
Wuwei City is extremely large, with thick and square walls. It usually lives with fifteen or sixty thousand residents. It is the most important city in the western front of the Great Zhou Dynasty. The geographical location of this city is extremely important, so it is located at the intersection of the east and west regions. The troops leading to Yangjueguan in Liangzhou will eventually pass here.
There are large fields around Wuwei City, with plenty of water flowing, and galloping horses can be seen from time to time.
After several years, the long-lost beacon smoke in Yangjueguan did not panic in the people of Wuwei City. In fact, the people of Liangzhou have been used to the tide of wild beasts in spring and autumn for generations. At the most dangerous time, all the male men over 16 years old in Wuwei City went to Yangjueguan, leaving only women and children to stay in the city to maintain their production.
And these years of free time have made the older people in Wuwei City a little uncomfortable.
Although the war in Yangjueguan was tight, everything in Wuwei City became orderly.
But all this changed because of the sudden reinforcements.
Zhu Zi left the 5,000 infantry troops in Wuwei. In addition to guarding the city, the most important thing for these people was to transport supplies and maintain the food route to Yangjue Pass. Therefore, these 5,000 infantry troops were not all stationed in Wuwei City, but were scattered on the food route.
Zhu Zi's order to dispatch troops was early. The soldiers who stayed in Wuwei City thought they were coming to reinforcements and were unprepared, but unexpectedly, these reinforcements suddenly took action.
The originally peaceful morning became a little quiet, and the blood dyed the silver-white and bright sword. At the gate of Wuwei City, looking at the comrades who were originally fighting side by side suddenly took action. After the initial surprise, the soldiers in Wuwei City were filled with anger.
"Chen He, He Qi, are you going to rebel?"
The leaders of these rebels were Chen He and He Qi. The two military leaders who had their military power removed by Zhu Zi a few days ago. They were mixed with these reinforcements and now they have shown their swords.
However, facing their former comrades-in-arms who died under their hands, the two of them had no guilt on their faces, and some had hideous smiles, like wild beasts bathed in blood.
"Zhu Ziliang is not worthy of being the master? We are determined to surrender to Daliang, and those who are willing to surrender will immediately put down their weapons. Your Majesty is kind and will definitely be promoted."
"You dream!"
How could the people of Liangzhou endure this? Even if these powerful defenders are weak, they will never surrender.
The killing began, but it was not one-sided. After the fierce battle for the urn city, the defenders in Wuwei City were almost exhausted, and the rebels successfully entered Wuwei and immediately controlled Zhu Zi's General's Mansion, Granary and Arsenal.
After a long sunset, Fang Yuting stood on the wall of the city wall, looking at the corpses all over the ground, none of which were facing his back, and finally sighed in his heart.
It is said that the people of Liangzhou are brave, but they are so brave, which is really awesome.
Chen He came behind Fang Yuting and was very respectful to the great man from the Gods.
"Sir, we have completely controlled Wuwei. What should we do next?"
Fang Yuting smiled and said, "Of course I'm waiting for Zhu Zi to come!"
Yang Jueguan.
Zhu Zi and Qin Yuan stood on the city wall, facing the tide of wild beasts that had a pause in the offensive, and were a little tired.
"How is Meng Xuan going?"
The Moji Sect is located in Fuyu Mountain and controls another road from the wasteland to Liangzhou. Now the Moji Sect has been established, and it has become the ninth giant after the eight decisive sects.
The war in Yang Jueguan was in critical condition, and Zhu Zi planned to ask for help from Meng Xuan, asking him to send his disciples to help.
"Meng Xuan has agreed." Qin Yuan looked at the black nightmare looming in the distance, with a very worried face, "But the iron cavalry who had just left the seclusion investigation and then reported that there were more demons under the command of the Demon Emperor."
"What?"
Zhu Zi was also a little incredible. It would take only three years for the Zhou army to be trained at least. But how could the demon army grow so quickly?
“How many more?”
"There are vaguely five or six thousand formsless demons, and they also saw the figure of the Yuan Demon in it."
"The demon clan's methods are really weird!"
Zhu Zi sighed, but saw a horn sound rising from the city palace behind him.
Zhu Zi and Qin Yuan's expressions changed, and they had a vague premonition in their hearts.
The main city of Yangjueguan is behind nine walls. When Zhu Zi and Qin Yuan returned to the city, they saw a scarred soldier.
"Lord, General Zhenbei, Chen He and He Qi colluded with the Liang army and captured Wuwei. The subordinates rushed out and came to report the news."
"What?"
Qin Yuan was full of disbelief, while Zhu Zi was much calmer.
"What's the situation behind now?"
The soldier shook his head and said, "I don't know, but the troops that captured Wuwei City were 20,000. They suddenly killed the brothers, caught them off guard, and most of them died in battle."
Zhu Zi's face darkened and he took a deep breath.
"I understand, you go down and rest first!"
"Lord, I want to avenge my brothers!"
A sad and angry voice spread to Zhu Zi's ears, but Zhu Zi looked even deeper and smiled with a self-deprecating smile.
"I thought it would be Yang Xian who would take action, but I didn't expect it was Huan Qing."
Zhu Zi had long known the crisis in Liangzhou, but he did not expect it to break out so quickly, let alone it exploded in such a way.
The 20,000 army indicates that most of the military leaders of the three eastern counties in Liangzhou participated in the rebellion. To make matters worse, all the military leaders of the three eastern counties rebelled.
The opponent's attack was so fierce that he hit the vital point, and he didn't want Zhu Zi to take a breath. It should not be underestimated!
"In the past, Huan Wu was not kind, but he finally cared about the world and did not dare to ignore the righteousness. But what Huan Qing did was outrageous, and he was worthy of being the master!"
Qin Yuan's angry voice resounded, and his whole body was trembling with anger. Yang Jueguan was related to the safety of Liangzhou and the whole world, so it would be fine if Liang Jun did not help. If Yang Jueguan was broken at this time, the world would be in danger.
"At present, I can't take care of so much. The food route has been cut off, and the food and grass in Yangjueguan cannot last ten days. Now, I can only lead three thousand iron cavalry back to defense and retake Wuwei City. If the Demon Emperor noticed the abnormality, he would definitely not miss this opportunity. The only thing in Yangjueguan is to rely on you."
"Lord, the other party is prepared, maybe waiting for the lord to return to defense. I have said that things are in a critical and incoming situation, so why would you ask Yang Xian for help."
Zhu Zi's expression changed. He looked at Qin Yuan's sincere face, but shook his head again.
