I’m The King

Approximately two thousand Qin troops walked on the road in full arms. The leader was the highest military commander of the Qin Army in Shu County, responsible for the three counties of Ziyang, Ningqiang, and Nanzheng. This trip went to Ningqiang to suppress the peasants. For him, the riots were another perfect opportunity to make a fortune, as evidenced by the dozens of two full-filled carriages among the marching team. For him, this was too easy a job. It was not so much suppression as an armed demonstration. As soon as the army came out, these peasants died quietly and disappeared quietly. Need to wait to receive a large number of gifts from local officials.

Zhou Liang was not a native of Qin. He used to be a general of the Yan Kingdom. After the Yan Kingdom changed drastically, Gao Yuan replaced Yan Wang and became the King of Han. He went to Qin with Zhou Yu. At the beginning, he was just like Zhou Yu. There is hope that one day I can return to the country of Yan, but as the situation develops, this fragile hope has also become a bubble under the sun. The blow to them is not just the hope of restoring the country. When this hope was shattered, they set a new goal for themselves, which was to subvert the lofty Kingdom of Han Dynasty, which was also regarded as another kind of revenge. However, the hope is very full, but the reality is very skinny. Under the seemingly impossible situation, the strong rise of the Han Kingdom, with one enemy and two, actually severely inflicted the Qin and Chu coalition forces. This battle completely defeated Qin. Lay the abyss.

The state of Qin, which was once so strong that all countries in the world tremble, walked toward the abyss step by step in front of the emerging Han state. The stronger the stronger. The weaker the weaker, whether it is Zhou Yu or Zhou Liang, they have already seen clearly. The power of Han is not only military, but also economic. If it is said that the Qin State still has the strength to fight in the military, then at the economic level, the Han State has completely shown a state of crushing.

Zhou Liang's initial thoughts were shattered, and he held the idea that one day is counted as one day. Mixed with the Qin army, came to Shu County. Let him see the police of the most basic-level officials of the Qin State, which shocked him, who had been living in the army, and after the shock, it was injustice. Not angry, and immediately after these people were wooed, the groundwater did not hesitate.

In Zhou Liang’s view, the State of Qin might not be able to hold on for long. In the State of Qin nowadays, the leaders of both military and political groups seem to be in harmony, but they have been divided into two groups. General Lu Chao holds Qin’s most elite army in his hand, but he The appearance of the court and the divine freedom. In order to win over him, the court had to swallow his anger, this kind of situation. In Zhou Liang's view, it was a sign of the country's subjugation. If so, why didn't he plan for his future?

It has become Zhou Liang's dream now to accumulate wealth and create a happy old age for himself.

Shu County is very chaotic now. But Zhou Liang didn't care, if it didn't mess up. It's the words of Zhengqing officials, where do you get the money? Over the past year or so, the money I got from entering Shu County was something I didn’t even dare to think about in the first half of my life. Sometimes I was a little scared to think about it. If these things come to light, I’m afraid it’s enough to chop my head ten times. Full. However, whenever there is some tremor, thinking of the local officials who earn more than their own and the gentry who colluded with the officials, they feel at ease again.

In this world, who knows what will happen tomorrow, or putting money in his arms first makes people feel more at ease. As a former Yan, Zhou Yu feels more insecure than others.

Of course, if you have made a lot of money, you can’t lose the troops you bring with you. If you want these people to follow you with all your heart, you need to feed them. At this point, Zhou Liang is still very angry. , The result is that this army that was once disciplined under Meng Tian's command has now fallen into an army that lives for money.

In fact, it is natural to say that the soldiers of the Qin Army are basically from the people at the bottom. The main goal of their entry into the army is to change the destiny of themselves and their family through military service, to make wealth and become rich, and to seal their wives and shadow children is the only way to go. the goal. To achieve this goal, there may be only a few lucky people out of a hundred people, but now it’s different. After Zhou Liang arrives at Shu County, there will be rewards issued every three and five times. Silver can often match their salary for a year, and for more than a year in Shu County, the soldier has not carried a hundred and eighty taels of silver in his arms. This also made them desperate for Zhou Liang. Promotion is a matter of life, but now, you can follow the general to make a fortune without any risk. Who doesn't want to do it?

The long queue marched along the avenue. Everyone was very relaxed and happy. Looking at the dozens of horse-drawn carriages, every soldier was excitedly discussing how many rewards would be given this time, although due to the previous With the inertia of strict training for many years, their team still walks neatly, but the kind of murderous air that an army should have is gone.

On the avenue ahead, several horses rushed, the crisp sound of horseshoes made the dozens of Qin Army Rangers walking at the forefront of the army nervous suddenly, raised their long spears, and formed a triangular formation. While the other rider greeted him alone, he shouted: "Who is in front, dismount, and be checked."

Amid the long hissing of several horses in front, people stood up, and several knights showed great riding skills. As soon as the front hoofs of the horses landed, several people had already rolled over and dismounted.

"Is General Zhou Liang in front?" The leader, dressed up, looks no ordinary person, but at this moment, sweat is all over his face, his face is black and white, and his clothes are wet and tightly attached to his body.

"Who are you?" The soldier asked without letting his guard down.

The visitor took out a sign from his arms and said loudly: "I am Huang Bo, the person in charge of the Black Ice Terrace stationed in Ziyang. I have an urgent official business to see General Zhou Liang."

The cavalry was taken aback, turned over and dismounted, and checked the opponent's waist card. Not dare to neglect, he rushed towards the rear to report to Zhou Liang.

"What's the matter?" After a moment, Zhou Liang looked at Huang Bo standing in front of him, and saw the other party's embarrassment, feeling a vague sense of anxiety in his heart.

"General Zhou, Cang'er Mountain bandit leader He Yong broke through the blockade and conquered Lengshuigou Junzhai. Then, dressed as a soldier of our army, he drove straight into Ziyang County. Now the county seat is lost. I found out that something was wrong and I fled immediately. I'm afraid that Ziyang County has fallen into the hands of the gangsters now." Huang Bo said eagerly.

With a buzzing sound like a stick directly on his head, Zhou Liang only felt the buzzing in his head. The Cang'er Mountain bandits who had been besieged for more than a year not only were not trapped to death, but they were resurrected. This time, unlike the simple killing and looting of the previous year, it directly conquered the county seat with a target.

If the county seat is lost, if they kill the court commander, then the problem will be serious. When he thought of this, Zhou Liang couldn't help but whizzing on his back. If he was strictly investigated, this would be his dereliction of duty. According to Qin Jun's military rules, he would lose his head, although Qin Jun is not like before. The execution of the military law is meticulous, but Zhou Liang believes that I don’t know how many people are staring at the seat he is sitting in, not to mention that he is not a member of the Qin country, but some people’s eyes are pierced in the flesh. With this excuse, he wants to win Even if I had my old boss Zhou Yu as a guarantee, I was afraid that I would not be able to protect myself. What's more, because of Lu Chao's affairs, the court no longer trusts Zhou Yu as much as before. In the correspondence between himself and his old boss, the old boss mentioned this question faintly, telling oneself to do it for yourself and not to leave behind. Talk to others.

Even if you don’t kill yourself, but deprive yourself of your current position is a fatal blow to your plan. Without power, how can you keep the wealth that you have accumulated over the past year? Come, he himself has seen the cruelty of the local officials and local gentry.

"Five hundred people were left to guard the logistics supplies, and the rest marched forcibly and immediately rushed to Ziyang County." Zhou Liang gave the order without hesitation. Anyway, he had to retake Ziyang County first, as long as he regained the county seat. This responsibility immediately went down by more than half.

Qin Jun was divided into two parts, one was left to guard the supplies, which was actually what they gained this time when they went out. The other 1,500 people spread their legs and ran all the way to Ziyang County.

When it was getting dark, the Qin army appeared out of the Ziyang County town out of breath. Such a forced march would be a heavy burden for any army. If facing a regular army, Zhou Liang He would certainly not do this, but when he was just a county bandit in front of him, Zhou Liang didn't worry about anything. Lema was outside Richu, looking at the Ziyang county seated in the distance~www.wuxiaspot.com~ quietly without a trace of movement.

Several scouts went quickly and came back quickly.

"General, the gate of the city is open, and there is no trace of the bandits."

Listening to the scout, Zhou Liang's frowning brows finally let go. After all, they are a bandit, and they are still the one who robbed them. If they are more minded, they are guarding Ziyang County here, I am afraid they will I was in big trouble because I went out this time, but I didn't bring any siege weapons.

"Come here, bring a sentinel and enter the city." Although he was relieved, Zhou Liang still sent out the outpost cautiously.

There were indeed no bandits in the city, and the outpost troops did not receive the slightest resistance when they entered the city. A few people in the city were arrested for questioning, and they all confirmed that this bandit team had left Ziyang County in the afternoon.

Zhou Liang stepped onto the city wall of Ziyang County and looked at the heads of Guo Qing and a group of county officials hanging above the city gate. His brows were frowned. This scene made him extremely uncomfortable. Guo Qing was also himself. He’s an old acquaintance, and he has the most money to give himself, but now he is separated, and his huge wealth has turned into a bandit’s spoils in a blink of an eye. (To be continued)
