Chapter 6: Rising in Longcheng, Marching South to Suppress the Rebellion

The next day.

At 5:00 pm, the vanguard troops of the Yunhui Army under the command of Wu Qingyun, the general of the Northwest Army, had arrived in Longcheng and set up camp in the area of ​​Jubeichuan, 30 miles outside the city, for a temporary rest.

The vanguard troops of the Yunhui Army had 20,000 soldiers, 14,000 combat troops, and more than 6,000 logistics troops. Wu Fengxian, the son of Wu Qingyun, the general of the Northwest Army, was the general in charge of the troops, and his deputy general Chang Chenghu accompanied him.

Wu Fengxian was seven feet tall and ugly. Not only did he inherit his father Wu Qingyun in appearance, but he also perfectly inherited his father's brutal, arrogant, and ruthless personality.

Although he was not very old, he had already been a notorious person.

He committed crimes, bullied men and women, and did all kinds of evil on weekdays. There were at least eight hundred innocent lives who died tragically in his hands.

Such a person with many evil deeds could get away with it because he had a father who was once the crown prince and now the emperor.

Wu Fengxian stood at the highest point of Jubeichuan wearing armor and carrying a sword, looking down at the vague outline of Longcheng 30 miles away, with greed in his eyes.

"I have heard that Longcheng, the fief of King Jin, is the richest city in the entire northwest. Today, I see that Longcheng is really magnificent and majestic!"

As he said, Wu Fengxian patted the dust on his armor and continued: "General Chang, you said that King Jin Chen Polu has been working hard to manage Longcheng for more than 20 years. How much gold, silver and jewelry must he have accumulated?"

Chang Chenghu smiled and said: "Major General, we don't know how many treasures Chen Polu has accumulated in Longcheng, but there are really many beauties in Longcheng!"

"Especially the women in the Jinwang Mansion, Jinwang Concubine Xu Ruoyun is middle-aged, and her charm is still there, needless to say, even the maids in the palace They are all beautiful girls picked from a hundred miles away. It's really a bargain for that bastard Chen Huaian. "

Wu Fengxian raised his eyebrows and said, "General Chang, if you say that, I won't be sleepy anymore."

"When my army enters the city, if Chen Huaian is sensible and takes the initiative to let the women in the Prince of Jin's mansion serve me, I can consider sparing his life and sending him to Beihai to serve the border;"

"If Chen Huaian is ignorant of the current situation, I will chop off his head and let the women in his mansion serve me. I just don't know if there are any old lovers of Chen Huaian among these women in the palace?"

Hahaha!

When these words came out, Wu Fengxian and Chang Chenghu both laughed out loud.

Chang Chenghu also gave a thumbs up and praised: "Major General, you are a real man!"

This flattery made Wu Fengxian very comfortable, and he was eager to enter the city. He immediately waved his hand and ordered: "This general has decided to lead his troops into the city first and take over the military order and city defense of the Dragon City garrison!"

"Pass the order down, the front army, the central army and the left and right guards (similar to the imperial guards) will set off immediately and follow me to Dragon City!"

"Yes, Major General!"

Wu Fengxian gave an order, and the messenger immediately took the order and left.

Looking at the high-spirited Major General Wu Fengxian, Chang Chenghu became a little worried and said tentatively:

"Major General, the front army, the central army and the left and right guards only have 10,000 troops, and Dragon City is guarded by 8,000 Po Lu troops. If Chen Huaian refuses to hand over the military power and the two sides clash, I am worried that the safety of the Major General will be threatened!"

Humph!

Wu Fengxian snorted coldly, and a look of disdain appeared on his ugly and ferocious face. He said arrogantly:

"If you say so, this general would rather Chen Huaian refuse to hand over the military power, so that this general can lead his troops to attack Longcheng and massacre the Jinwang Mansion with blood!"

"He Chen Huaian is just a Confucian scholar, who is powerless. How can he compete with this general?"

"Besides, there are still 10,000 soldiers stationed in Beichuan, which can attack or defend. The 80,000 troops of my father will follow!"

As he said, Wu Fengxian sneered and mocked: "General Chang, you think too highly of Chen Huaian and the remnants of the Po Lu Army!"

"A mere 8,000 bandits dare to fight against 100,000 elite soldiers of the Yunhui Army?"

Chang Chenghu thought about it and felt that Wu Fengxian was right.

Major General Wu Fengxian has practiced martial arts since he was young. He is good at riding and shooting. At the age of 17, he followed the powerful General Wu Qingyun to fight in the south and north. He has been in the army for more than ten years. Although he has made outstanding military achievements, he has at least killed countless enemy generals on horseback.

On the other hand, in Chang Chenghu's impression, Chen Huaian has never had the experience of fighting in the battlefield. He has always been placed in the rear by King Jin Chen Polu to manage some food, equipment, taxes and other things. I am afraid that he has never touched a life?

On one side is the "human butcher" who kills people like crazy, and on the other side is the weak and weak Confucian scholar.

On one side is the Yunhui army commanding 100,000 elite cavalry, and on the other side is the 8,000 remnants of the Polu army fighting desperately.

This comparison is a clear winner!

Chang Chenghu immediately said with a smile: "Major General, I am overthinking. Compared with the Major General, Chen Huaian is not even worthy of carrying shoes. How does one say it? Call, call-"

Chang Chenghu paused, then slapped his head and said: "How dare the light of a firefly compete with the sun and the moon? This Chen Huaian is clearly a firefly!"

Hahaha!

The two smiled at each other, and then walked down from the height one after the other. Yu Ju led 10,000 soldiers in the temporary camp of Beichuan and rushed straight to Longcheng with murderous intent.

At the same time, Longcheng broke the camp of the Lu army.

Chen Huaian, wearing golden armor and holding the Golden Whip (Golden Mace), stood in front of the reviewing stand on the parade ground, with dozens of scarlet four-clawed yellow dragon flags fluttering in the wind behind him.

On the school grounds, except for the defenders, all the other 8,000 soldiers of Longcheng's army were lined up and assembled in the school grounds. They were all fully armed with armors and knives.

An hour ago, the news that the vanguard of the Yunhui Army arrived 30 miles away from Longcheng to reject Beichuan has been spread back to the city. The eight thousand soldiers of the Polu Army stationed in Longcheng already knew what they were going to do next and would meet To what.

That is to follow the decree to appease the enemy, raise troops to fight against rebellion, and clear the emperor's side!

These eight thousand soldiers of the Polu Army are all veterans of hundreds of battles for more than ten years. They are the elite and the last blood of the Polu Army. Their wives, children, and children all live in Dragon City and are favored by the Jin Palace.

Their fate has long been closely connected with the Jin Palace, and they will never abandon it whether they live or die.

Now at this critical moment, whether it is to defend the supreme honor of being a Polu soldier, or to protect the wives, children, and children in the city from being displaced and losing their families, as Polu soldiers, they must act like a man. Stand up bravely and risk your life to fight for a chance of survival.

Chen Huaian looked at the high morale of the soldiers of the Polu Army on the school field, and issued a final message to the generals to raise their troops to protest against rebellion: "The soldiers of the Polu Army——"

"I, Chen Huaian, the eldest son of King Chen Polu of Jin, and the Crown Prince of Jin who was personally conferred by Emperor Gaozu. Since I was granted the title, I have abided by the law, been loyal to the emperor, and patriotic;"

"The new emperor succeeded to the throne and favored traitors. He allowed Wu Qingyun, Chang Chenghu and other traitors to confuse the government and the public, and acted in the opposite direction. If the traitors are not eliminated, the country will not be protected;"

"Now, in accordance with the late emperor's edict, I hold the golden whip given to me to beat the king to provide peace to heaven. I raise my troops to fight against the rebels, eliminate the traitors, clear the emperor's side, stabilize the country, consolidate the foundation of the country, and restore the bright future of our Daxin Dynasty!"

Chen Huaian first published a revolt on the grounds that the late emperor had given the king a golden whip to beat the king, in order to block the world's mouth and prove that the army was not a rebellion, but a request for peace, a well-known division, and 8,000 soldiers of the ruthless army. We did some psychological construction to relieve the generals from their psychological burden.

Afterwards, Chen Huaian raised his golden mace, raised his arms and shouted: "Soldiers of the Polu Army——"

"Today, under the guidance of the dozens of Polu army banners behind us, and under the light of the sun, moon, mountains and rivers, we will raise troops in Longcheng and conquer Ni in the south;"

"At this moment, when all the soldiers of the Polu Army stand with me on this school field, I don't care whether you are timid or afraid, because we have no choice;"

"Once they retreat, the heroes and heroines of the Polu Army who have fought in horse-hide corpses on the battlefield since the establishment of the Polu Army will hug each other and cry under the nine springs;

The late king Chen Polu, who was loyal to the emperor and patriotic throughout his life and unyielding, will die with his eyes in peace;

More than 300,000 innocent people in Dragon City will also be brutally slaughtered, causing a great disaster;

Our wives, children, and children will also suffer from bullying throughout their lives!

At this moment, I, Chen Huaian, issue an order to you in the name of the King of Jin to conquer Ni in the south—"

"If, on the way to the south to conquer Ni, you saw me fall under the sword of the traitor army,

Generals, there is no need to be sad, nor should they stop charging, let alone come to save me.

Hold the sword tightly in your hands and follow the guidance of the Polu Army's banner to continue the southern expedition. We will never withdraw our troops until the traitors are eliminated! "

"The sun, moon, mountains and rivers will always be there, and the spirit of the Polu army will always be there!"

"The Polu army is mighty!"

"The general is mighty!"

"The Polu army is mighty!"

"King Jin is a thousand years old!"

For a moment, the shouts of killing in the Longcheng Polu Army camp were loud, the blood of more than 8,000 Polu Army soldiers was boiling, and the Jin King Chen Huaian was so excited!

"Report——"

Suddenly, a messenger hurriedly rode to report!

Before the galloping horse stopped raising its hooves, the soldiers who ordered the order had already dismounted, knelt down to Chen Huaian, cupped their hands and said:

"Reporting to the King of Jin, the vanguard of Yunhui's army, about 10,000 men, has arrived at the city gate. The enemy general Wu Feng, who is leading the army, has already called for formation under the city gate!"

"oh?"

Chen Huaian raised the corner of his mouth and said: "It's just the right time, then use Wu Fengxian's dog head to sacrifice the flag for the southern expedition of the army!"

"Generals, obey the order!"

"The general is here!"

"Follow me out of the city to meet the enemy!"

"I will obey your orders!"
