Red Mansion: Incense and God Road, starting from the City God of Shenjing

Chapter 98 The crisis comes again, the enemy is at the gate!
"I will obey your orders!"

Sui Maoxiang was shocked after hearing this.

Although Jia Cong's move seemed to be different from previous practices and he bypassed these rebels.

But the name Death Row Camp...

Can someone who comes out alive still be called a death row inmate?

To put it bluntly, it was two meals of thin porridge a day and hard labor every day.

Death is coming sooner or later!
It's even more painful than dying quickly.

After the awe, there is a strong feeling of admiration.

Sui Maoxiang also came from a wealthy and prominent family.

Those who are in a high position are not afraid of your cruelty.

I'm afraid that you will show too much softness in your heart. If nothing goes wrong, it's luck; if something goes wrong, it's inevitable.

At the age of nine, he has already cultivated his spirit and has such a character.

Sui Maoxiang felt more and more that he had followed the right person this time.

……

"Report!"

"Marshal, there is information!"

Just then, a messenger shouted outside the house.

"speak!"

"Your Excellency, a spy from the Imperial Guard just came to deliver a letter."

"The 200,000 White Lotus rebels in Laizhou Prefecture are heading north, only 200 miles away from Qingzhou Prefecture!"

"The one leading the troops is Mu Dajiang, the former deputy commander of the Shandong camp. They will be at the gates of the city in three days at most."

……

"What? Another 200,000 rebels have arrived in Laizhou Prefecture?"

"What should I do?"

"Many soldiers in the city are exhausted..."

Laizhou Prefecture is located to the west of Qingzhou Prefecture, and the two prefectures are close to each other.

Upon hearing the news about the rebels, the generals in the room suddenly panicked.

You know, 300,000 rebels from Jinan Prefecture are heading north, and the latest news is that they are approaching the Zhending and Hejian line.

If Jia Cong did not lead his troops to rescue, the rebels would have really reached the important areas of the capital.

"Sui Maoxiang, how many soldiers are there in the city?"

Jia Cong looked at the map hanging on the wall.

Qingzhou Prefecture can be said to be located on the main road of Shandong, converging several official roads from the north, south, east and west, and its position is extremely important.

Otherwise, successive dynasties would not have established a capital city here.

When I read novels in my previous life, the time travelers led their troops without any rules. They would often take shortcuts or take detours, and their troops would descend from the sky like gods.

This is complete nonsense, even in ancient times it was an official route.

It was just a slightly leveled piece of dirt.

If a large army travels, they will not take the official road, but the small road.

In the cold winter, the roads are muddy and icy.

A surprise attack within twenty miles is barely possible, but a march of hundreds of miles is possible.

By the time I walked out of the path, the day lilies had already gone cold.

By holding Qingzhou Prefecture, we can block the path of the 200,000 White Lotus rebels and contain them here.

"My Lord, the losses in today's battle were minimal."

"There are 70,000 troops that the Marquis brought from Jiangnan."

"There are still 30,000 defenders and 30,000 young and strong men in Qingzhou City!"

"I will lead 70,000 troops north to Jeju Prefecture to quell the rebellion, and mobilize another 20,000 young and strong men in the city to defend the city."

"I'll leave two martial arts masters in the Jiangnan camp to you. Do you have the confidence to hold on for fifteen days?"

"this!"

"I swear to live and die with Qingzhou City!"

Sui Maoxiang’s mind was racing, and then his expression gradually became firm.

"You don't need to live and die with the city. I will return within fifteen days."

"When we return to the capital, I will make you a third-class marquis!"

"Thank you, Lord!"

Sui Maoxiang was very happy.

"Everyone retreat, order the army to prepare for battle,"

"Let's set off early tomorrow morning!"

"Each person should bring three days' rations. I have my own means of supplying them."

"promise!"

……

"Cong'er, take a rest. We have to go out to fight tomorrow."

After everyone left, Jia Cong sat back in his chair.

Baochai came behind Jia Cong and gently massaged his shoulders.

"It's okay, I'm not tired..."

"It's just the White Lotus Sect's plan..."

"It's interesting." Jia Cong looked through the intelligence from various places sent by the Jinyiwei on the table.

Smile lightly.

……

Qingzhou Prefecture

Changle County

The war was raging and the land was devastated.

Changle is just a small county, and the city wall is not high, only more than six meters.

There was no formation set up by the Xuanmen monks.

When the county garrison heard that 200,000 White Lotus rebels were approaching, they fled overnight.

The remaining several hundred defenders held out for less than half an hour before the city was declared broken with the cooperation of an insider.

"My Lord has ordered that the entire army may plunder for two hours at will."

"Depart on time in two hours!"

"Anyone who fails to arrive will be punished by military law!"

"My Lord has ordered that the entire army may plunder for two hours at will."

"Depart on time in two hours!"

"Anyone who fails to arrive will be punished by military law!"

……

The elite followers, whose clothes were embroidered with white lotus patterns to show their status, shouted loudly among the rebels.

Breaking cities and looting is one of the means used by the White Lotus to maintain the morale of these rebels.

Not only can it turn "good citizens" into "traitors", but it can also cut off all their escape routes.

If we don't fight to the death in the future, there will be no way for us to survive when the imperial court comes to settle accounts with us.

The only thing that suffered was the people in the city.

Two hundred thousand rebels, already blood-thirsty, entered the city, burning, killing, looting, and committing all kinds of atrocities.

In the camp outside the city

"Your Excellency has a brilliant plan and has been unstoppable all the way. I admire you!"

Several prominent gentry from Changle County looked at the sturdy man leading the troops in front of them with flattering eyes.

Mu Dajiang, former deputy commander of the Shandong Camp.

The current leader of the Eight Dharma Kings of the White Lotus Sect, the Dharma King Acalanatha.

"You two don't have to be so polite."

"I was able to conquer the city all the way without your support."

"When the Holy White Lotus Fire spreads all over the world and the Saint Lady ascends the throne, all of you will be her heroes."

"Thank you, sir!"

Upon hearing this, several country gentlemen looked at each other and showed joy on their faces.

He didn't notice the mockery in Mu Dajiang's eyes at all.

"Sir, you asked us to ask someone to find out about Purple-Robed Marquis Jia Cong. I sent someone to write a letter to his relatives in Qingzhou."

"I led my army out of Qingzhou City and headed north yesterday morning."

"Oh? Are you serious?"

Mu Dajiang quickly ordered his soldiers to spread out the map.

"My Lord, this is absolutely true. Jia Cong led 70,000 troops out of the city in full view of the public."

"My relative secretly followed me for twenty miles."

"There are only 30,000 defenders and 50,000 young and strong men temporarily recruited in the city now."

"Humph!"

"Emperor Shunde is indeed a foolish ruler."

Mu Dajiang showed a sneer on his face.

From Jiangnan to Shandong, nearly thirty third-level masters have died at the hands of Jia Cong!
Who wouldn't be terrified by such ferocity?

If Jia Cong was still in Qingzhou Prefecture, Mu Dajiang would turn around and head back to Laizhou Prefecture without saying a word.

But since he was urgently transferred by Emperor Shunde...

Even the Qingzhou city, located at the hub of Shandong, was not taken care of.

"Jia Cong, you are nothing but that. Haven't you heard that a general may not obey the orders of his master when he is away from home?"

"The Left Protector is also extremely stupid."

"If I keep hiding in the army, will Jia Cong dare to give up the opportunity to cultivate and personally slaughter the 200,000-man army?"

At this moment, most of Mu Dajiang's fear disappeared.

However, the cautious character he developed from leading troops for many years still made him carefully keep some tricks in mind.

"Come here, send spies to explore the 20-mile radius of Qingzhou City in advance!"

"Not even a rat's nest is left behind."

"The army will set out in two hours, no delay!"

Among these 200,000 rebels, 30,000 were his direct subordinates whom he had personally recruited in the Shandong camp.

It is far from comparable to the other miscellaneous rebel forces.

"I obey my orders!"
