Start Being a Vassal King Today - Chapter 843

[Chapter 843 In Place]

“Yes, General.” Qin Shan gave a military salute to Chang Wei.

Turning around and leaving, he immediately ordered to search the whole city.

Chang Wei watched Qin Shan leave, his eyes narrowed.

He ordered to wipe out the rich and powerful families in Shacheng, in addition to taking back the people’s fat and people’s anointing they had looted.

There is another important reason.

That is to reduce the hidden dangers inside Shacheng.

If these rich and powerful families are left alone, they will definitely not be peaceful.

Therefore, it is safe to detain them.

After another busy day, the next day he left 10,000 soldiers to garrison in Shacheng, and led an army of 50,000 to the north of Hunan.

At the same time, people sent the news to Anqing.

Compared with the disappearance when they went to Shacheng, the cavalry who delivered the letter this time, one man and three horses, quickly left for Anqing.

The Jiangzhou area outside Yinchang City is all under the control of the royal army.

They traveled unimpeded all the way, and in less than three days, they rushed from Shacheng to Anqing.

“Very good.” After reading the battle report sent back by the cavalry, Zhao Xu showed a satisfied smile.

Then, he immediately spread out the combat map.

When he was in Yanzhou, when he was free at night, he either drew various technical drawings, or drew the overall map of Dasong and the maps of each state and county.

Of course, there are charts of sea conditions, as well as maps of various regions of the world.

After these maps were sent to the staff department, the generals of the staff department were responsible for copying them.

So when fighting, there is a special map of the combat area.

“They set off three days ago, and they should have arrived in Yueyang County by now, and they are still two days away from Jiangxia County.” Zhao Xu said.

The marching speed of the royal family’s army is much faster than that of the clan’s army.

Therefore, it would take six days for the clan to arrive at Jiangxia from Shacheng, and perhaps only four or five days for the royal family’s army, and only one or two more days for them to encounter the army of Wu.

As for Jiangxia City, where Wu’s army is currently located, they only need at most two days to arrive there.

“It’s time to go, Huo An, immediately rectify the army, and send troops to Jiangxia tomorrow.” Zhao Xu said solemnly.

Apart from Qin Shan, Guan Tong and Lu Chang, the five Zhenwu generals in the royal family’s army are Bai Shang and Huo An.

Right now, Bai Shangzheng is leading his soldiers to surround Changcheng.

He and Huo An stayed in Anqing.

Different from Qin Shan, Guan Tong, and Bai Shang, Huo An was the first veteran to join the Royal Army’s army at the beginning of its establishment.

Relying on military merit all the way to this position.

However, because Qin Shan, Guan Tong, Lu Chang, Bai Shang and others were too dazzling, it made him look a bit inconspicuous.

But for Zhao Xu, Huo An’s future is very optimistic.

Because compared to Qin Shan and others, Huo An is younger and belongs to the cutting-edge generals.

“Yes, Your Highness.” Huo An replied yes, looking at King Yan with unconcealable reverence in his eyes.

In this battle, King Yan left him and his generals to guard Anqing, which is a sign of trust in them.

The feeling of being trusted by the King of Yan has kept his heart surging for the past few days. Even if he died in the battle for the King of Yan, he is willing to do so.

After leaving the academy, he came to Anqing Camp and summoned his generals.

“Take a rest overnight, and head to Jiangxia tomorrow.” Huo An said.

After pondering for a while, he continued, “This time His Royal Highness King Yan is going to fight with our Fifth Army. You must be full of energy. When fighting, you must show the prestige of the Fifth Army.”

After a pause, His face darkened, “If anyone drags the Fifth Army back, don’t blame me for being ungrateful, and when the time comes, people from the First Army, Second Army, Third Army, and Fourth Army will laugh at us again It’s the reserve army.”

When the generals of the Fifth Army heard this, their eyes became firmer.

There is no gap between them and the other four armies.

But in order to enhance the combat power of each army, General Chang Wei often held shooting, fighting, bombing and other competitions in the army.

In addition, the five armies often confront each other during exercises.

In these games and confrontations, the fifth army often ranks poorly.

So when he asked for a fight, he naturally couldn’t compete with Qin Shan and the others.

Only often as a reserve team.

This is why they are called the Reserve Army.

They are all bloody men, so they naturally held their breath, wanting to make a comeback and prove that the Fifth Army is not bad.

Right now, it is an opportunity to attack Jiangxia City with His Highness King Yan.

After all, Jiangxia’s Wu army has 600,000 troops.

This game was played beautifully, and their reserve team hats were taken off.

“Yes, General!” All the generals shouted loudly.

After disbanding, they immediately returned to their respective armies, ordered the soldiers to clean their muskets, count the ammunition, and at the same time convey Huo An’s order.

In the early morning of the next day, the soldiers of the Fifth Army stood outside Anqing City like fighting cocks, full of energy and fighting spirit.

When Zhao Xu went out of the city and saw this scene, he nodded in satisfaction.

He knew exactly what Huo An said in the army in the afternoon.

In fact, this is what he wanted.

He also ordered Chang Wei to do the military competition.

The purpose is for the armies to make continuous progress in the mutual competition.

“Let’s go!” Zhao Xu ordered after inspecting the Fifth Army.

At present, the fifth army has only 20,000 people, because 10,000 people are left in the three southeastern states.

And once the 20,000 people left, Anqing would be like an empty city.

But it doesn’t matter now, because Anqing City is very safe.

If Jiangxia’s Wu army wants to attack Anqing, it must pass the Fifth Army.

The Shizu army in Changcheng was even more besieged by Bai Shang’s Fourth Army, and it was even less likely to threaten Anqing.

But even so, just in case, he dispatched untrained rural soldiers near Anqing to garrison Anqing, which is better than nothing.

After two days of marching, Zhao Xu and his party arrived outside Jiangxia City from east to west.

At the same time, the 50,000 army led by Chang Wei also arrived at Jiangxia, which is located along the Jiujiang River, from south to north.

The 600,000 Wu army was trapped in Jiangxia City.

After getting in touch with Chang Wei, Zhao Xu ordered the Fifth Army to stay in place and prepare to attack.

“Your Highness is really good at using soldiers like a god. After taking Shacheng, Wu’s army can’t retreat or advance, so they can only defend Jiangxia.”

When Zhao Xu and Huo An observed Jiangxia City with binoculars, Huo An couldn’t help saying.

“This is called the deceitful way of soldiers, the combination of righteousness and strangeness.” Zhao Xu said.

He stayed in Anqing, attacking the counties in Jiangzhou was a conspiracy, and it was a trick to make Chang Wei attack Shacheng.

By attracting the enemy head-on, you can make some small moves in the dark.

Therefore, the Wu army was fooled.

At the moment, Jiangxia’s Wu army must have heard the news of the fall of Shacheng.

But they have nothing to do.

The reason lies in the terrain of Xiangzhou, and the west of Xiangzhou is the Wuyi Mountains.

This mountain range separates Bazhou and Xiangzhou. To the east of Xiangzhou is the Xuefeng Mountains, and to the north of Xiangzhou is Jiujiang.

This is equivalent to saying that Xiangzhou is actually a cage.

The only way to go to Bazhou is to go through Shacheng, go to Guizhou, and enter Bazhou from Yunzhou in a circle.
