The end of the world begins with the king

Chapter 441
In Baishan County, in a well-preserved courtyard, Zhao Yanxun sat behind a desk, carefully looking at the memorial in his hand.

This is a report sent from Yuanyang, which describes in detail the details of the chaos caused by spies in the palace on the night of May [-]th.

There are three reports in total, from the Chief History Department, the Privy Council, Lin Quan and Huo An.

The three memorials were expounded from different perspectives, which gave Zhao Yanxun a clearer understanding of the situation.

Putting down the report, Zhao Yanxun murmured: "Zhu Jinzhang, Zhu Jinzhang, you are so powerful that people cannot be guarded against!"

If he hadn't opened it himself, I'm afraid the world would really be taken away by him... Zhao Yanxun came up with this idea again.

He must be killed... Zhao Yanxun emphasized to himself again.

In the past few days of occupying Baishan, Zhao Yanxun did not rush to attack. On the one hand, he wanted to let the army recuperate, and on the other hand, he hoarded food and grass.

Going forward, if we rely on Tianmabao for food, the supply line will be too long.

Tianmabao can be attacked, and it is very likely that Zhu Jinzhang will send people to attack Liangdao again.

After a few days of transshipment, a large amount of food has been hoarded in Baishan County, and it will not be a problem for the supply army to fight in front for ten days.

And Zhao Yanxun's goal in the next stage is to win the second county of Xingyuan Liu'an.

At this moment, Gao Zheng'an came in from the outside, saluted and said: "My lord, the latest news... Over there in Liu'an, our people made a big commotion!"

"What movement?"

Gao Zheng'an smiled and said, "The spies sent to Liu'an discovered that Zhu Jinzhang had confiscated a large number of grains, so they encouraged the people of Liu'an County to surround the grain depot, and even killed many of the soldiers sent by Zhu Jinzhang!"

This is indeed comforting news. If Zhu Jinzhang can wreak havoc in Yuanyang, so can his subordinates.

"Okay... give them credit and reward them!"

"Yes!"

At this time, Gao Zheng'an said: "My lord, it seems that Zhu Jinzhang is really at the end of his rope, so he abandoned Xingyuan and Liu'an!"

"Since he doesn't want the city, why don't we just accept it?"

Zhao Yanxun nodded, the time has indeed come.

"You go to pass the order, the army is assembled!"

"Obey!" Gao Zhengan kowtowed.

After he left, Zhao Yanxun called up the system panel, because he had added several hundred people just now.

"Available skill points: 86245
Mental strength: 5+ (perception 50 meters, alarm 5 meters)
Arm Strength: 500kg+
Leg Strength: 500kg+
Physical strength: 25 points + (25:00)

Population: 80461"

Since the beginning of the Great War, his population has been increasing, but the main population harvest is in the south.

In other words, Wang Zong and Liu Enfu, who were going south, were constantly rescuing the people and enriching Zhao Yanxun's out-of-control population.

Of course, after occupying Baishan, Zhao Yanxun also ordered Chen Yuhe and his guards to search the entire county.

With the help of horses, Chen Yu's mobility was greatly enhanced, and his search ability was greatly enhanced.

In just a few days, they found more than 700 people, all of whom are now housed in the county seat.

Although the fire in the county town had been extinguished, there were still many ruins to be cleaned up, so Zhao Yanxun didn't let these people idle.

Only by working every day can they get food, and everything is done according to the method of Yuanyang Mansion.

Of course, being able to eat white flour and steamed buns every day and do some work is nothing at all, after all, they lived a precarious life before.

But even so, Zhao Yanxun still has to sigh with emotion that the survival ability of human beings is really strong.

Even though many people died in the zombie outbreak, some humans survived after all.

Walking out of the house, accompanied by several attendants, Zhao Yanxun rushed to the north gate of Baishan Mountain.

There is a large open space at the north gate, where the army will gather.

Riding on horseback, the people they met along the way all took the initiative to bow to Zhao Yanxun, they knew very well who they were favored by.

"The grass people kowtow to the prince!"

"Long live the prince..."

Hearing the shouts in his ears, Zhao Yanxun felt very satisfied, knowing that gratitude is a good citizen.

When Zhao Yanxun arrived, there was already a large army gathered inside the north gate, and three thousand households were counting troops.

On the tower, a guard brought chairs for Zhao Yanxun to sit down and wait slowly.

In fact, within 2 minutes, all the ministries had already arrived, and then reported to Zhao Yanxun one after another.

Walking to the female wall, Zhao Yanxun said loudly: "Gao Zhengan..."

After being spotted by Zhao Yanxun, Gao Zhengan took two steps forward, knelt on the ground and said, "I am here...please give me your orders!"

Looking down, Zhao Yanxun said: "Xingyuan, the two counties of Liu'an, you will lead the troops to recover them!"

It is basically not difficult to recover these two counties, and it is hard to say that he has accumulated military merits for himself.

But now that it has been arranged, he has only one way to execute the order.

"The minister takes orders!"

I only heard Zhao Yanxun continue to say: "The two counties, how to divide the troops, how to distribute the food and grass, you arrange it yourself!"

This is a test of Gao Zhengan's ability to stand alone. If he can make no mistakes, Zhao Yanxun will naturally have a higher evaluation of him.

"Yes!"

"You lead the soldiers away now!"

"Yes!"

After saluting Zhao Yanxun again, Gao Zhengan left with his subordinates.

When Gao Zhengan led the troops to leave, Zhao Yanxun ordered Fang Sheng and the two of them to go up to the tower.

Looking at the soldiers and horses below, Zhao Yanxun turned around and asked, "Xingyuan Liu'an Second County, it's easy to win, Liaoping City University... what countermeasures do you have?"

Fang Sheng said: "My lord, although the city of Liaoping is big, it doesn't have a moat... We can block the city gate first, and then the Gongzheng Institute will mobilize craftsmen to cast the ladders for attacking the city, and we will be able to take this city by then!"

The biggest flaw of Liaoping Fucheng is that there is no moat, so the strength of its city defense is not so high.

"It's a way, let's do it!"

At this moment, Wang Cheng hooked his waist and said respectfully: "My lord, I have another way!"

"you say……"

"My lord's Northern Expedition, in addition to killing the rebels, he also wants to save the people..."

"In Liaoping Prefecture, except for Zhu Jinzhang's determined rebellion, the others are probably not so determined!"

"My lord rescued the people in Xingyuan Liu'an, why not let them persuade the soldiers and civilians of Liaoping to surrender? Most of these people know the soldiers and civilians of Liaoping, and they will definitely get twice the result with half the effort!"

There is no need for Wang Cheng to say more, Zhao Yanxun already understood his intention.

"Good... good way!"

Facing Wang Cheng, Zhao Yanxun had a look of approval on his face: "Wang Cheng, attacking the city is the bottom line, and attacking the heart is the top priority. This is really useful for you!"

Wang Cheng said with a smile: "The prince often urges the ministers to watch more soldiers, so they must make some progress!"

At this time, Zhao Yanxun turned to Fang Sheng and said: "Fang Sheng, did you hear that, you should read more books, don't just focus on dancing with guns and clubs all day long!"

"My lord's instruction, I will keep it in mind!" Fang Sheng replied.

"Okay, let's stop talking nonsense, the food sergeant has arranged, you go to prepare immediately, start at noon today, try to cross the Sui River tomorrow afternoon, and the soldiers will arrive at the city of Liaoping the day after tomorrow!"

"Yes!"
