Tang Dynasty: The seventh rank of official residence, and you will be given the Ten Thousand People

The main force in Wagang Village are all veterans who have followed Fan Xin on the battlefield.

Even against the Tibetan elite, he still won't fall behind.

Therefore, as soon as the two sides fought, the 5,000-strong army composed of official servants and civilian Zhuang suffered heavy casualties instantly.

It didn't even take half an hour before they were defeated and retreated towards the way they came.

No matter how hard Zhu Dafu whipped him, it would be useless.

Looking at the officers and soldiers fleeing in panic, Liuzi and the others didn't feel anything yet.

Some of the generals under his command exchanged looks with each other.

They are all newcomers to Wagang Village, and they have dreamed of becoming someone like Wang Mang since they were young.

So when I saw the coach being so brave, the restless heart under the armor was resurrected.

After cleaning the battlefield, several Wagangzhai generals clasped their fists together.

"Sixth Master, brothers have something to say!"

"Oh? Tell me."

After scanning the faces of several people, Liuzi said with a smile.

A thin man came out and stroked his beard.

"Sixth Master, brother, I see that there is a dragon-tiger spirit hidden in your eyebrows. You will definitely be a great man in the future."

“Why not plant a flag and set up a pole to recruit heroes from all over the world and show your ambition?

Hearing this, Liuzi looked up to the sky and let out a long sigh, with a flash of sadness in his eyes.

"Fan knows what you brothers think, but the young master once said before his death that you are not allowed to rebel against the Tang Dynasty at any time."

"Those who violate the oath will be punished by heaven and earth, and abandoned by humans and gods!"

Unexpectedly, Wu Yong and others shook their heads after hearing this.

"No, His Highness Prince Yan cares about the world and is following the path of a saint."

"We people don't owe anything to the common people in the world. People live for a lifetime, and grass and trees fall for a period of time. It is inevitable that we will have some regrets if we don't fight."

Seeing that several people were busy, Liu Zi waved his hands distractedly.

"Okay, brothers, please be careful. Fan is a little drunk and takes the first step."

Liu Zi opened the curtain and walked out, leaving everyone in Wagang Village looking at each other.

"What should we do, General Wu? Mr. Liu doesn't agree with our idea."

Wu Yong's expression was uncertain, and he banged the table for a long time.

"Brothers, this transition between the old and new Tang Dynasty is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for us."

"If we miss this village, we won't have this store."

"Don't you want to be a bandit for the rest of your life?"

Facing Wu Yong's inquiry, several Wagangzhai generals shook their heads.

"Brother Wu, just tell me what to do. Brothers will fight with you."

Seeing that everyone was on his side, Wu Yong said vigorously.

"Okay, since you brothers believe me, then Wu will tell you directly."

"This time, in order to attack us, Zhu Dafu seconded civilians and officials from three nearby counties."

"If we take advantage of the weakness of the army and occupy several counties in one fell swoop, the world will be shaken. Heroes from all walks of life will definitely come to join us."

"At that time, were we worried that no one would follow us to conquer the world?"

It must be said that Wu Yong's deception was very tempting, and the officers and soldiers in several nearby counties suffered heavy losses.

They can take it down at any time if they want, and then capture the entire state capital.

Several Wagangzhai generals immediately stood up and clasped their fists.

"But according to General Wu's orders!"

In the following months, Wagang Village took advantage of the floods in the Yellow River to quickly gather tens of thousands of troops.

It didn't even take half a year to occupy the entire Xiangzhou in one fell swoop.

The world was shocked for a moment!

When the news reached the capital, Li Longji quickly summoned the ministers to the main hall of Shangyang Palace.

"I will see you, Your Majesty!"

"No need to salute, everyone is invited!"

Li Longji snorted heavily with a dark face and looked at the governor of Xiangzhou with an unkind look.

"Gu Yu, as the governor of Xiangzhou, the fourth rank, you are supposed to guard the imperial court and ensure its safety."

"Now, he abandoned the corpses of thousands of officers and soldiers and ran back to the court."

"I ask you how you want to die!"

Guyu knelt on the ground with a plop, cold sweat dripping from his forehead.

Trembling.

"Your Majesty, it's not that I am greedy for life and afraid of death, but the Navargang army has a hundred thousand soldiers."

"If I hadn't thought of coming back to report the news, I would have been martyred by Bai Ling long ago."

"It's not too late for you to die for the festival!" Li Longji said coldly.

Guyu...

After ordering people to drag Gu Yu out and chop him down, Li Longji said in a commanding voice to the ministers.

"I will say it again today. From now on, any official who dares to abandon the city and flee will be executed!"

"Your Majesty is wise!"

After all the ministers straightened up, Yao Chong walked out of the queue and cupped his fists.

"Your Majesty, how can we allow others to sleep soundly on the side of the bed? Xiangzhou is so close to Luoyang, so I think it is necessary to send a large army to encircle and suppress it as soon as possible."

"Otherwise, we may be in trouble."

Li Longji nodded and looked at Chen Xuanli.

"With the establishment of a new dynasty, everything needs to be revitalized. You are the general I rely on most."

"Leave it to your Shenwu Army to eliminate the bandits this time."

"Remember, we must take down the thief's head within a month!"

Chen Xuanli knelt down on one knee and cupped his fists.

"I will definitely live up to your majesty's trust! Let's go now!"

Chen Xuanli was Li Longji's number one general, and he never suffered a defeat during his leadership.

Although he was captured by Fan Xin's Youzhou Army last time, he was just careless.

After leaving Luoyang, the first thing he did was to eat and walk with the 50,000 divine warriors.

When attacking the villages and towns outside Xiangzhou, his soldiers did not dare to disturb the local people at all.

Not only that, those captured bandits who proved not to have been stained with blood were given food and rushed home.

In this way, under Chen Xuanli's strategy of encirclement and suppression while appeasing at the same time.

The massive rogue army was trapped in Xiangzhou.

"Report! Report to General Wu that the imperial army has been discovered eighty miles outside Xiangzhou City and is encircling our army!"

"Explore again!"

Signaling the scouts to retreat, Wu Yong's face was extremely gloomy.

He did not expect that his 100,000-strong army would be so useless, and most of it was wiped out by the imperial court in just one month.

If it continues to develop, how can we compete in the Central Plains!

"By the way, what are Liuzi and the gang doing?" Wu Yong asked with a thought in his heart.

"Back to the general, Mr. Liu and several brothers went to Liangshan Town for drinking a few days ago."

"Hmph, how long have you been drinking? Come on, go find the three fat guys, Luneng."

When the three brothers sat down around the Kang table, Luneng took a sip of wine and said.

"Brother Wu, the imperial army is too powerful. It will only take a few days to capture Xiangzhou. How about we escape?"

"Escape? Where to escape? The whole world belongs to the Tang Dynasty, where else can we go?"

The three fat men sighed.

Seeing how useless the two brothers were, Wu Yong frowned and snorted.

"What are you afraid of? Xiangzhou City has high walls and thick walls, and there are 30,000 troops."
