Cultivating immortals, starting from immortality, bright moon toast together

Chapter 147

Seven Star Gate really lost miserably this time.

When Lu Yuan led the main army and arrived in Luyang Mansion, he received two more good news.

One is Qiao Xiuyuan, the leader of the Seven Star Gate thieves, after fleeing back to Luyang Fucheng, he immediately began to gather soldiers and horses from all over the place, preparing to gather troops and defend Fucheng to the death.

Therefore, except for the capital city, the defense of the other counties of Luyang Prefecture has become very empty and can be easily collected.

The other is some people who are local to the imperial court in Luyang Prefecture, and after seeing the imperial court army returning, they have responded with troops, and now many of them come to meet with the rebels.

Even some of the thief generals arranged by the Seven Star Gate to guard the towns in various counties, after seeing that the Seven Star Gate was about to end, began to take the initiative to turn to the imperial court.

Therefore, three days later, Lu Yuan led his army to Pingyang County and gathered with his disciple Zhou Qing. This disciple’s subordinates have already had an extra two thousand rebels.

In addition, there are five counties, there are powerful uprisings or thief armies anyway.

Counting the three counties that were previously recovered, eight counties of Luyang Prefecture have re-hung the imperial court banner.

However, except for the first three counties, which were directly controlled by Lu Yuan, the remaining five counties were all controlled by those ground snakes.

At present, the imperial court is in full swing, and those ground snakes choose to submit.

But if his side fights a little worse, the wind is not in the right direction, maybe the rebellion flag will be hung on the opposite side.

Therefore, after understanding the situation, Lu Yuan immediately began to divide the troops, arrange for his named disciples to lead the army, and go to the counties to receive the city defense.

As for those troops and land snakes, they were all asked to gather on the side of Pingyang County and accept the direct jurisdiction of him, the general of Fenwu.

It’s about to participate in the Tianluo Gala.

Lu Yuan wanted to destroy the Seven Star Gate in the remaining six months, and at the same time cultivate the Divine Blood Spirit Pill, so as to break through to the first-class peak, the time can be described as very rushed.

Therefore, in this limited time, he did not allow the situation in Luyang Mansion to change and affect his participation in the grand meeting.

Those troops and ground snakes are all unstable factors, and Lu Yuan naturally will not tolerate them staying in the place and making trouble for themselves.

Zhou Qing had been sitting in Pingyang County for a few days, and those county towns that rebelled anyway were still nominally received by him.

So he couldn’t be clearer about the situation on Luyang Mansion’s side.

At this time, listening to his master’s arrangement, he couldn’t help but worry: “Master, those local tyrants and generals have all regarded the county they occupy as their own territory, I’m afraid it’s not so easy to comply.” ”

In troubled times, for those military leaders, the army and territory are undoubtedly the most important things.

At this time, Lu Yuan wanted to take over the other party’s territory and take over someone else’s army. But any military leader with a little bloodiness may not be able to accept it.

This time to receive, I am afraid that the process will not go smoothly.

“All the counties, that are the territory of the imperial court, when did it become theirs? As a general of Fenwu, he has the responsibility of commanding the local soldiers and horses of the county.

Now it is reasonable to fight the rebellion and let them come and obey.

If this order is not accepted, it must be a rebellious person with a different intention. Can be found in advance, just right.

Save the Japanese army and the seven-star rebels when they are fighting, and give me a trip in the rear. ”

Lu Yuan’s tone was cold.

He had already given orders to his disciples, and if those earth snakes and subordinates did not obey the order, they would directly lead the troops to annihilate.

As long as he is completely obedient, nominally submissive, for him it is tantamount to fighting rebellion.

Those who cannot be used by me have no value left behind.

Now Lu Yuan’s momentum is strong, and his troops are sharp, and it is when his strength is at its strongest.

Those more than 20,000 seven-star traitors were all destroyed by him in a battle. The other five counties combined, there are thousands of rabble, what is enough?

These guys still want to bargain with Lu Yuan with this bit of strength, that is really thinking too much.

“If this is the case, I am afraid that for a while, there is no way to attack Luyang Fucheng immediately.”

Zhou Qing sighed and said helplessly: “The apprentice is afraid that if it is delayed for a long time, it will make those Seven Star Gate traitors slow down.” At that time, it will be even more difficult to eliminate it.

And now that the Seven Star Gate is cornered, maybe the dog will jump off the wall to unite those Miao rebels.

If the Miao people are brought over, this battle will be very variable. ”

Lu Yuan’s tone was still indifferent: “That’s exactly why it’s all the more necessary to clean up those unstable ground snakes.” If the Miao people really attacked, they saw that the wind was not in the right direction and turned to the Miao people, and when I lost the peripheral shield, I would be even more overwhelmed by the enemy and at a loss. ”

Of course he knew what his disciple was worried about.

To the south of Luyang Province is Yangshan Province. To the west, there are Jiuxuan Province and Lingling Province, these three provinces are basically mountainous areas, and they have always been the strongest places for the Miao people.

Now it has long been captured by the rebellious Miao people, and the land of the three provinces is no longer owned by the imperial court.

The Miao people of the three provinces are connected, claiming to have 100,000 troops, and the momentum is huge, which is still the largest Miao rebel army in Dongting County.

In addition to the Miao people of these three provinces, the Wuling Mansion, where the main altar of the Five Poisons Sect in the north, is located, is now also occupied by the Miao people, and the whole province is trapped.

Next to Wuling Mansion, there is also Changsha Prefecture, and now there are tens of thousands of Miao people in chaos. But did not capture the capital city, but occupied the four counties in the western part of Changsha, and had merged with the Miao rebels in Wuling Province.

This group of Miao rebels in the north is also known as 100,000, but this should be an imaginary number, according to Lu Yuan’s inquiries over the years, the other party should only be 60,000 or 70,000.

But even so, it is a very strong force.

Then the question arises.

Between Wuling Mansion and Lingling Mansion, there is a Shaoyang Mansion. Between Changsha and Luyang, there is only one Hengyang Province.

That is to say, Shaoyang and Hengyang provinces have become the biggest obstacle to the convergence of the Miao rebels in the north and south.

In fact, at the original time, the Five Poisons Sect planned to capture Shaoyang Mansion and connect its own territory.

But who would have thought that he would run into Lu Yuan.

The 30,000 Miao people who were in chaos in Shaoyang Mansion were directly pacified by Lu Yuan with soldiers and horses before they could set off a storm.

Even not only pacified the Miao people who were in chaos, but he also simply slaughtered the Miao villages in Shaoyang Prefecture, killing a large number of young and strong Miao men and men, completely cutting off the possibility of local Miao people making chaos.

In this way, the original plan of the Five Poisons Sect to combine its own territory into one piece was completely empty.

Coupled with the fact that Lu Yuan killed so many Miao people, it can be said that he has already become a thorn in the eyes of the Five Poisons Sect, and he wants to kill him quickly.

But originally, Lu Yuan sat in Shaoyang Mansion and had 15,000 elite soldiers.

If you add in the local rebuilt prefecture soldiers and village braves, then the number of men and horses he can use is close to 30,000.

With such a large number of troops, as long as they are dedicated to defense, then even if the Miao people kill more than a hundred thousand people, they don’t want to defeat Shaoyang Mansion.

Therefore, after trying to attack several times and finding that there was no way to take Shaoyang Mansion, the Five Poisons Sect could only retreat helplessly, watching Shaoyang Mansion divide its territory and break it into two.

But even if you retire, if you want to say that the Five Poisons Sect has accepted the reality and no longer plots against Shaoyang Mansion, it is simply impossible.

Lu Yuan believes that as long as the other party has the opportunity, he can open up the north-south passage and merge the two sides, and he will never let it go.

And this time the rebellion of the Seven Star Gate of Luyang Mansion is the best opportunity for the Five Poisons Sect.

The 15,000 most elite soldiers in Shaoyang Mansion had already been taken away by Lu Yuan to quell the chaos. At this time, there were only 2,000 prefectural soldiers left in the prefecture, as well as more than 10,000 township brave militia groups, and the strength could be said to be the weakest time.

And Luyang Mansion, which originally blocked the Miao people from the south to the north, also opened its door because of the rebellion of the Seven Star Gate.

The Miao people of the three southern provinces can drive directly to Hengyang Province along Luyang Province and merge with the Miao rebels in Changsha Province.

Therefore, for the Five Poisons Sect, whether it is to jointly attack Shaoyang Mansion, open up this shortest, but most well-defended channel.

Or respond to the Seven Star Gate, and start with Luyang Mansion and Hengyang Mansion, which are far away, but the defense is also the most empty, which are all good choices.

Lu Yuan understood this, which is why he so firmly demanded to take over the city defenses in various parts of Luyang Prefecture, and at the same time collect the local soldiers and horses.

In addition to his desire to centralize power, this is more about eradicating hidden dangers in advance, establishing a solid defense line, preventing those land snakes from colluding with the Miao people inside and outside, and making flaws in their north-south isolation belt.

Isolate the two rebel forces of the Five Poisons Sect and block them on the north and south sides, which is the counterinsurgency strategy that Lu Yuan decided after communicating with the county government.

Otherwise, sitting and watching the Miao rebels merge north and south, then the other party can gather an army of 200,000 in an instant. Even if these armies are only rabble, but only the number of people is enough to crush most of the official forces in the county.

Anyway, Lu Yuan knew very well that if the Five Poisons Sect gathered an army of 200,000, then with the hatred of the other party and himself, the first one would not let him go.

And the 200,000 army killed, with the 15,000 soldiers in his hands, no matter how he could fight, he was not an opponent of more than ten times the enemy.

Therefore, blocking the Miao people and separating them is not only for the strategy of the imperial court, but also for his own interests.

“I’m not too worried about Shaoyang Mansion, there are Cui Zhifu and Brother Sun watching over there, there are two thousand county soldiers in the mansion, and the perfect militia mechanism I established.

When the Miao people kill, they can immediately gather 20,000 soldiers and horses.

Although these people can’t fight in the field, it’s still no problem to defend the city.

With 20,000 people here, even if the Miao people come to attack with an army of 100,000, it will be no problem to hold out for several months, and wait until I lead the army back to help. ”

Lu Yuan explained his strategy and ideas to his disciples, and then said, “On the contrary, it is Luyang Mansion and Hengyang Mansion, I am most worried.

After the previous battle of Changning County in Hengyang Prefecture, more than 10,000 township brave militias and soldiers from Fuxian in the prefecture all died in that battle.

With the loss of these people and horses, the entire Hengyang Mansion, even if it is counted as the township brave militia, can not make up five thousand soldiers at this time, and the defense can be said to be extremely empty.

And Luyang Mansion is not to mention.

The whole house, after this war, only two thousand righteous men came to vote. Counting the soldiers and militias that I am preparing to take over, it is estimated that the soldiers and horses that can be integrated are less than five thousand.

As far as the situation of these two provinces is concerned, if the Miao people are allowed to kill in, even if there are only 10,000 people, I am afraid that they will instantly pierce these two provinces.

At that time, the great situation will be dispersed in an instant.

Therefore, in any case, the division must take over the defense of Luyang Prefecture and build a new defensive line to block the Miao people of the three provinces in the south.

I can’t believe the locals here in Luyang Mansion, they are too deeply involved with the Seven Star Gate, and even with the Miao people, and handing over the abdominal heart to them to guard is undoubtedly joking about the safety of the army.

Only when my own people guard it, can I rest assured. ”

Lu Yuan voiced his concerns and plans.

After hearing this, Zhou Qing’s face couldn’t help but show admiration, and he quickly said ashamedly: “It’s the disciple who is short-sighted and fails to comprehend the master’s strategy.” ”

Lu Yuan shook his head: “It’s nothing, it’s just that I thought a little more.” ”

He did think a lot.

After all, being stared at by such a big enemy as the Five Poisons Sect, without thinking about it, it has long been a corpse at this time.

Zhou Qing didn’t have so many concerns about Lu Yuan, so it was understandable that he didn’t think about things so comprehensively.

But the apprentice has a big heart, and he can’t be a master, and that’s it at this time.

In the army, Lu Yuan was both the commander and the master of all the generals, and he had a strategy, and naturally he was firmly implemented as soon as possible.

It turns out that his strategy is very prescient.

At the peak of Lu Yuan’s army now, those who rebelled anyway surrendered their troops, and after receiving the order to surrender the city defense and go to the army to obey the order, some people chose to resist and refused to take orders.

In the five county towns, three army leaders gathered in the city to defend themselves, refusing to let the army sent by Lu Yuan enter the city.

Only two county towns chose to obey the order, surrendered the city defense, and then rushed to Binh Duong County with a large army.

In this regard, Lu Yuan could only sigh again, the majesty of the imperial court was dispersed, and these local military leaders were too short-sighted to distinguish the situation.

In those three recalcitrant county towns, none of the military leaders in them had more than a thousand, and with this strength, they dared to resist?

Needless to say.

For those recalcitrant elements, Lu Yuan directly mobilized the army, and after spending a few days, after losing the first landing army formed by hundreds of prisoners, they were all wiped out one by one.

In the end, more than a thousand prisoners were captured, and the number of the first troops not only did not decrease, but rose to 9,000.

After pacifying the place, Lu Yuan left 5,000 soldiers and horses in each county to guard it, and then led tens of thousands of main forces, 3,000 volunteer soldiers and militias, and 9,000 Xiandeng camp prisoners, and 20,000 people to kill Shaoyang Fucheng.

On the 23rd of the first month, Lu Yuan led his army to Luyang Fucheng.

At this time, after these days of closing in the city, the Seven Star Gate had regathered nearly 10,000 troops in the city.

At this time, seeing the arrival of the officials and soldiers of the imperial court, these traitors still could not hold on, and they looked like they were carrying it to the end.

Under the scorching sun, the ice and snow melt.

Battle flags fluttered and drums rumbled on the field.

Lu Yuan stood on the high platform, looking at the majestic Luyang Mansion City in the distance, stared for a while, and finally ordered.

“Siege.”

Under the order, the first battalion of thousands of people, who were organized in the distance, were immediately driven to the city.

A new round of flesh and blood fighting officially begins.

Although this Luyang Mansion looked quite solid, Lu Yuan was not confused by the performance and retreated.

Wasn’t the Qixingmen traitor in Changning County in Changning County quite strong in cultivation?

But in the end, it was not broken.

This city is not hard, after the fight.
