The Earth Conquers All Worlds

Xiongfu, Kaiyang County

The houses of ordinary people are called homes, the residences of rich and powerful merchants in the county are called houses, and only the houses of the prefects of the county can be called mansions. Private people are not allowed to build them, and they must be bestowed by the court.

The vermilion lacquered gate was closed tightly, with green bricks and jade tiles, and two stone lions as tall as a person were solemn and dignified. The small gates on both sides were bustling again a year after the death of the owner Xiong Feihu.

"Master Xiong, this group of thieves are really ambitious. Now that they have finally revealed their true colors, what do you think we should do now?"

Almost all the prominent figures in the county came here in person or sent their direct descendants to come here. In the past, the elders of several big families who used to put on airs in front of Xiong Haobing also looked forward to it and obeyed orders awe-inspiringly, which made him feel a little dazed and excited. .

However, after pondering for a while, he still looked at the elegant old man who spoke the loudest: "Uncle Ning Yuan, the anti-thieves are powerful, and we are concerned about the imperial court, so naturally we want to raise troops, but good soldiers are young and lack prestige. How about being our leader?"

People around looked at each other, turning their eyes from Xiong Haobing to the elegant old man.

This person is called Li Lingyuan, and he inherited the position of Uncle Ning Yuan. In terms of status and prestige, he is indeed above all others. If he is the leader, no one will be dissatisfied.

Li Lingyuan's complexion changed slightly, he waved his hands and said, "Nephew Xiong Xian, you are being polite, who doesn't know that Xiong's family has known soldiers for generations, and it is nephew Xiong Xian who is talking about this matter of joining the army."

"Uncle Li can't do it. You are a great position, so you are required to be in charge. A good soldier bows his head and obeys orders, and he can be in command of military affairs."

"Otherwise, the name is not right and the words are not right, and the prestige is lost out of thin air..."

The two sides you push over, and I push over, both look bad for fame and fortune, and look for the court wholeheartedly.

If they win, the final credit will depend on their power in the court. If they lose, their family is in the local area, and they may be implicated in a catastrophe.

Seeing this scene, many knowledgeable people felt pessimistic and disappointed.

After entanglement for a long time again, there was still no result.

Some patriarchs of the Hao family who escaped from Linzhong County and several nearby counties couldn't bear it. Their land had been lost, so naturally they had nothing to fear.

Lin Ran, the head of the Lin family who rebelled against the Blood Sea, took a step forward: "My lords, if the thieves and beasts want to seize our ancestral land, we have to raise an army and clean up the original cause. How about the leader of the rebel army with the names of each family joining together to draft a letter against the thieves?" ?”

He intends to be the leader of the rebel army,

Even in name, but facing the eyes of the patriarchs of the surrounding counties, they immediately withdrew this idea.

Li Lingyuan and the others felt displeased at the hasty remarks of a poor family in the county. After thinking for a moment, they didn't dare to delay any longer. They looked at each other and said, "Okay, that's how it should be, but the military affairs must be completely under the command of Nephew Xiong Xian."

"nature."

The major families took action closely, and the clan soldiers and tenant farmers under their control were summoned, and the undercurrent surged under the calm lake for a while.

It's just that they didn't know that a young servant who had just poured tea for them had just sent out a note with a child's drawing on it.

In the yamen of Kaiyang County, Huang Huo immediately knew about the conspiracy of these patriarchs to rebel after the implementation of the land reform, but they didn't settle the payment immediately and were still waiting.

Three days later, a large number of people armed with swords and even armor gathered in the Xiong family's mansion. Xiong Haobing, Li Lingyuan and others led the establishment of the bandit army, which immediately aroused the response of various wealthy families in the county and county, and gathered into three thousand soldiers to fight against the county government.

Standing in front of them was the neatly armored 6,000-blood navy, who had been waiting for a long time.

"How could this be? Didn't you say that their soldiers have been mobilized to His Highness the King of Chu?"

The fighting spirit of the bandits was in turmoil, and they stopped in a panic, full of panic.

"shoot!"

The dense arrows shot from the blood navy were far less accurate than before, but it was still possible to cover a large area. Immediately, a bloody flower bloomed inside the hastily formed bandit army, killing and injuring hundreds of people.

"Shoot again!"

There was no attack, and the dense rain of arrows continued to fall, killing and injuring hundreds of people. Sporadic arrow rains attacked the blood navy, bursting out with tinkling sounds.

"Run!"

"It's none of our business!"

Lured by benefits and intimidated by rumors, the low-level soldiers immediately collapsed and fled in all directions in horror, throwing weapons everywhere. There were only a thousand soldiers composed of servants from major families left in place, but they barely maintained.

Xiong Haobing was terrified, and instantly knew why his father died at the hands of a gang of thieves. The faces of all the masters were also pale. The enemy positions rushed.

He dropped the last bit of hope in his heart, and pulled up Li Lingyuan who still had his strength beside him: "Shibo, let's go, we can't beat him."

As they fled, the rebel army immediately collapsed and fled frantically in all directions.

"Chasing the enemy."

Huang Huo ordered without any accidents that the blood navy was dispersed into countless twelve-member squads besides the 2,000 people in the headquarters, and quickly cleared up these rebels who had lost their organizational structure.

Not only Kaiyang County, similar things happened in other counties where the land reform took place, but under the suppression of the 100,000 troops, no waves were caused.

Heinous criminals and collaborators were liquidated and tried, the land was distributed equally to the people, the tax rate was greatly reduced, and the burden of life on the people was reduced.

In just over a month after completing the land reform, the land of the three counties has become the most stable base of the Blood Sea Guild, its rule has penetrated to the lowest level, and the manpower and material resources that can be mobilized are more than three times that of the feudal dynasty.

More troops, more supplies were efficiently mobilized.

This scene of internal turmoil did not make Chu Wang Fang Yuan, who had gathered 200,000 troops from various states, launch a surprise attack, but still relied on the city wall to hold on, cautious as a tortoise.

In Mingyang County, 100,000 troops gathered, and Zhao Shi, a king, sat in the army tent.

Zhao Shi said downwards: "The king of Chu still has no plans to leave the city, and sieges have caused huge casualties since ancient times. What should we do?"

"I suggest waiting,"

Zhou Bihu got up and said, "The harvest in the mountains is bumper this year, and the damage caused by the unification war is not too great, and our reserves of grain and grass are sufficient.

However, the king of Chu could not support 200,000 troops by relying on the land of the three counties. He could only rely on transportation from nearby states, and could not support it for a longer period of time. "

"Seconded."

"Seconded."

...

All voices agreed, and the Mountain Breaker Sword King suggested: "We can also send small-scale troops to infiltrate and harass the towns outside the city, block their transportation of grain and grass, and temporarily regain the villages and towns."

Carefully staying in Sanyang City, the capital of the state, the king of Chu, who hoped that a battle would determine the fate of the world, waited for a long time, but he still did not wait for the arrival of the blood navy. .

He couldn't help being stunned: "Didn't you say that these rebels don't have cavalry?"

"Your Highness, these traitors have dispersed their pawns."

A brave general came out and said happily: "The thief is indeed a thief. He doesn't know the way of the military. Your Highness, give me five thousand troops, and the general will be able to attack Huanglong directly and capture the enemy chieftain Zhao Shi alive."
