The end of the world begins with the king

Chapter 645 One Hundred Thousand Soldiers

"There are too many monsters here, otherwise we would have killed Bei'an Prefecture..."

"It's all the banning army's tricks. These guys didn't dare to confront us head-on, so they attracted monsters to block our way..."

"Heh heh, if you use these tricks, you can't escape death!"

During the march of the Yong army, the soldiers chatted casually, and chopped down the zombies that rushed towards them.

Although facing the threat of zombies, they seemed very relaxed.

Although it was terrifying, it was nothing to those who were used to killing zombies.

The speed of the team is not fast, slower than the normal walking speed of people, and their army formation is very stable.

"There seems to be the sound of hooves..."

"Really, maybe it's a scout..."

At this time someone said: "It seems... not our people!"

Everyone in front of them looked intently, only to find that it was the uniform of the imperial army.

"Be alert!" The general flag in front shouted loudly.

The soldier on the side reminded: "It's just these few people..."

"What if the main force of the forbidden army is behind? Be on guard!" the general flag shouted loudly.

Everyone didn't dare to talk too much, and they all concentrated on their defenses. The archers behind the team also opened their bows and set their arrows.

Just as the general flag was about to issue an order to shoot and kill several scouts of the imperial army coming from the opposite side, they heard several scouts shouting: "Stop...stop...we are messengers!"

…………

At the rear of the army formation, Zhao Yanxun stood in front of his horse, surrounded by several thousand households.

Looking at the scouts kneeling in front of him, Zhao Yanxun said calmly, "Speak!"

Several scouts were trembling, and one of them said: "I want to report to the lord... We, the Four Guards of the Forbidden Army, are willing to surrender to the palace!"

Hearing this, several thousand households were all surprised.

Although it was expected, they were still a little surprised when it happened.

There are still more than 1 troops in the imperial army, and it will take some effort to take it down.

That's why Zhao Yanxun ordered to slow down the army under his command, intending to drag down the imperial army.

With a lack of food and a broken supply line, it is normal for the imperial army to be unable to carry it.

I only heard Zhao Yanxun ask: "Where is Xu Longsheng? If you want to surrender, why don't you come here in person?"

"Reporting to the prince, Xu Longsheng committed suicide!"

Gao Zhengan on the side couldn't help but said: "It's because he's taken advantage of!"

Zhao Yanxun asked again: "Where are the other commanders?"

"Liao Chenglin, the commander of the Huben Guard, and Zhang Han, the new commander of the Habayashi Guard, were all beaten to death by the mutiny soldiers!"

"Xiaowuwei Commander Zhu Jihong was kidnapped by mutinous soldiers and is waiting for the prince to deal with him!"

Under high-intensity military pressure and food pressure, soldiers can do anything they choose to survive, and all mutinies are really not a big deal.

After a few moments of silence, Zhao Yanxun said, "Bring Yang Qing, Qin Hao, and Liu Shan!"

These three names were no strangers to the thousands of households present, and they were all able-bodied men under their command.

So they sent orders to each other, and quickly found the three soldiers and horses.

These three people were all called role models in the army by Zhao Yanxun, and they were also single-handedly promoted by him.

"See Your Majesty!"

Zhao Yanxun didn't ask them to stand up, but said directly: "Now that the imperial army has surrendered, I want to find someone to accept the surrender, are you willing to go?"

As long as they are doing things for Zhao Yanxun, how can these people be unwilling.

I only heard these three people answer very simply: "The minister is willing!"

Zhao Yanxun reminded: "After accepting the surrender, you have to leave the Bingma Division and command other armies from now on!"

"You guys are so considerate, Gu doesn't force it!"

The three of them still answered in unison; "I am willing!"

Nodding his head, Zhao Yanxun smiled, and said, "That's good... you can choose fifty elite soldiers from your thousand households, and go with you to accept the surrender!"

"Yes!"

According to Zhao Yanxun's plan, these soldiers will also leave the Bingma Division and become the basic team of Yang Qing and the three to help them master the Forbidden Army.

Zhao Yanxun will be absolutely at ease with these relatively capable powers, which must be mastered by those who are single-handedly raised.

As for whether they can control the army, Zhao Yanxun is not worried at all.

One is that he believes in the abilities of Yang Qing and the other three, and the other is that the palace holds the food, which is equivalent to holding the lifeblood of all the troops.

After about twenty minutes, a few more riders came in front of Zhao Yanxun.

These are the scouts sent by the Yong army, returning to report the situation at this moment.

They told about the mutiny of the entire Forbidden Army, which was mutually confirmed with the words of the previous Forbidden Army, and Zhao Yanxun confirmed the surrender of the Forbidden Army.

After another ten minutes, Yang Qing and the three of them came to Zhao Yanxun together with their selected subordinates.

Zhao Yanxun directly ordered: "Yang Qing, you are surrendered by Hu Benwei and Yulinwei..."

"As ordered!"

"Qin Hao, you are under the surrender!"

"As ordered!"

At this time, Zhao Yanxun added: "After you go, call everyone in Xiaowuwei and kill Zhu Jihong!"

"Yes!" Qin Hao answered as expected.

This matter was undoubtedly dangerous, but since it was Zhao Yanxun's intention, he would not hesitate at all.

Immediately afterwards, Zhao Yanxun glanced at Liu Shan and said, "Liu Shan, you are directly guarded by the dragon..."

"Yes!"

Looking at the hundreds of people in front of him, Zhao Yanxun said solemnly: "I will leave these people in the imperial army to you. Don't disappoint me!"

Among the three, only Yang Qing said: "My lord, don't worry, I will do my best to stabilize the imperial army!"

"Very good... let's go!"

"Yes!"

Time was running out, Yang Qing and the others did not stay, and left with the scouts of the imperial army with them.

Everyone continued to move forward, and Zhao Yanxun was in a very good mood at the moment.

Now that the Forbidden Army and all the capitals have surrendered, the entire Beidi County is in his pocket.

The threat from the northwest was gone, and he could then turn his attention to the east.

Thinking of this, Zhao Yanxun smiled, but it was a pity that he had to maintain the prince's majesty, so he couldn't laugh out loud.

Of course, while he was happy, how to control the large number of surrendered soldiers became a headache for Zhao Yanxun.

There are at least nearly 10 people in all the guards.

The imperial army has about 5000 people, including Pang Guoxing and others who surrendered early.

There are more than 5000 people in the Northern Capital. This is the result of Liu Shili leading troops out of the city and consuming thousands of people.

As for the other capitals, there are nearly [-] people. They have been fighting for the start of the war from the beginning to the end, so the force is relatively complete.

One hundred thousand soldiers have one hundred thousand mouths, and one thousand shi of grain is consumed every day.

In addition to these soldiers, there are still surviving people in Beidi County, who must also be included in the palace system, which is another pressure on Zhao Yanxun.

Therefore, Beidi County must resume production, so as to solve the food problem.

But even if the production resumes, there will be more than seven months until the autumn harvest. Now the grain storage in the cities of Beidi County can support the hundreds of thousands of people for three months at most.

There is a food shortage of 20 shi for the remaining four months, so a large amount of grain must be transferred from Longyou.

Thinking of this, Zhao Yanxun shook his head, and said in a low voice: "We can transfer people to Longyou, which can save a lot of food consumption!"

In fact, although Zhao Yanxun was under a lot of pressure, these 10 people were brought under the rule of the palace, which also gave him a new promotion quota of more than 1000 people.

There are a lot of people who want to be promoted, and there is no rush for this matter right now. We must first determine the candidates for promotion.

Except for the second-level soldiers, they can be selected from the Bing Ma Division, and the first-level soldiers have to be selected from the Longyou guards.
