Chapter 38 The Absolute Master
The officers and soldiers dispersed, and the military horse appeared as far as they could see, carrying a man in armor.
Everyone’s movements stopped in unison.
His arrogant gaze swept everyone, and when his eyes fell on Bai Wutong and their huge driving team, he brought up a satisfied smile.
is very good, it's worthwhile for him to walk around in person.
When he turned his eyes and landed on Qingfeng's face, which was held by the axe of Bai Wutong, he suddenly widened his eyes in surprise, and then laughed arrogantly, "Who am I talking about, who dares to fight openly in Beiyun City, it turns out to be noble The Commander of the Dark Guard Battalion!"
"The late emperor passed away, so you can't wait to follow him? Your head fell into the hands of a woman, and I don't know if you became a commander by your butt... Hahaha"
Wang Qiong was originally a young general under King Ping, and Princess Heping had a little blood relationship. After King Ping killed the emperor's brother, his status also rose.
On the day that King Ping ascended the throne, he immediately sent his troops to Beiyun City from Jingyang to become the garrison admiral. Now, even the prefect of Beiyun City has to obey his orders.
So beautiful, he thought about it, but he didn't expect this day to come so quickly.
Since this is the case, it is even more important to keep this hard-won right.
After Fengming City, which was guarded by Ning Yuanhou, was Jiangyuan City and Beiyun City.
King Ping secretly raised no more than 300,000 soldiers and horses, of which 50,000 elite soldiers were taken away by him to protect the imperial city.
For the remaining 250,000 troops, Fengming City got 150,000, Jiangyuan City and Beiyun City each got 50,000.
50,000 soldiers and horses, if the Marquis of Ningyuan were defeated, how could they resist the 200,000 iron cavalry of the King of Chu!
He naturally had to make plans for himself.
Beiyun City originally only had 10,000 soldiers and horses, plus the 50,000 he brought now, and the crooked melons and jujubes that were temporarily recruited and eaten, the total number of people was less than 80,000.
80,000 hands are not enough to fight!
And most importantly, there is a shortage of food and grass.
Jingyang is rich in water and soil, so it is still possible to support a certain area in peacetime, but now the famine is serious in the Yan Kingdom, and King Ping settled in the palace, so he transported most of the food and grass to the imperial city to win people's hearts.
Ning Yuanhou is probably starving right now, waiting for the emperor to support him.
If there is food, it will definitely not fall on Beiyun City.
On the way he came, he hit the 300,000 people of Beiyun City.
The people in this city must still have some food. As long as he fills the granary first and has the confidence, he naturally does not have to be afraid.
So, under the pretext of sharing the emperor's worries and solving problems, he asked the people to hand over all the food, and then forced the men over fifteen years old in the city to serve in the military.
If anyone dares to resist, it is to kill their family members.
Of course, Wang Qiong will not do things absolutely.
After all the food was handed in, they set up a porridge shed in the city, and gave these people a bowl of porridge every day to ensure that these people would not starve to death and would not be full.
He has already calculated carefully, and the army has expanded to 150,000. If King Ping can still raise some troops and provisions, maybe he may have the ability to fight the King of Chu and become a more prestigious and powerful general than the Duke of Ningyuan. .
The more Wang Qiong thought about it, the more feasible it became. He was so excited that as soon as he settled down, he took people to deal with the former emperor's henchmen, so as to avoid these people wanting to rebel, and quickly took advantage of the people's unpreparedness to search their homes overnight to arrest people.
North Cloud City is so big, the reason why Bai Wutong and the others were targeted so quickly was that someone wanted to please Wang Qiong and told Wang Qiong that Lin Yue had a whole book of banknotes.
Wang Qiong heard that, Lin Yue could easily take out tens of thousands of taels of silver bills to enter the city, wouldn't he have more wealth at home.
immediately came with a large number of people.
This time, they just bumped into Bai Wutong and they packed up and prepared to abscond.
The whole twenty carriages really surprised him.
followed closely, and saw Qingfeng, the commander of the Dark Guard Battalion, who he once admired and looked up to, fell into the hands of a woman in embarrassment.
The once unwillingness immediately turned into wanton humiliation.
"What did you say? The late emperor died?" Qingfeng asked in shock, ignoring the axe in Bai Wutong's hand.
When she left, the emperor was excited to welcome King Ping, and wanted to tell King Ping that as long as the dark guards captured Sheng Huaixuan and filled the treasury with grain and silver, the two brothers would be able to cut the King of Chu’s thieves into eight pieces. Stabilize the Yan Kingdom.
This is dead...so no coincidence!
Who would have thought that King Ping, who seemed to be mediocre and would only enjoy himself, would choose to rebel at such a juncture without warning!
Does he ignore the consequences? At this time, it will only make the court and the Yan Kingdom even more troubled and turbulent.
The shock of Qingfeng made Wang Qiong even more proud, "You are now a lost dog, and I am a goshawk spreading its wings in the sky, instead of dying at the hands of a woman, you might as well cut off your head and give it to me to present to the new emperor. , during the festivals, if I remember you, I might be able to burn you some more paper money! Hahahaha—" Qingfeng was the first lackey of the late emperor, King Ping will kill him, Wang Qiong can't wait to carry her head back now Invite credit.
He was agitated for a while, and laughed out loud.
Wang Qiong coughed to cover up his embarrassment, and then said to the other people in the dark guard camp: "Quickly disarm and surrender, and leave you all dead."
He has so many men and horses, what is the fear of the people in the dark guard camp?
If the breeze was really strong, it would not have been resisted by a woman with an axe.
There are also these people, who can be targeted by the people of the dark guard camp, there must be something unusual, and after careful interrogation, maybe they can make another great contribution.
"The new emperor..." Qingfeng stared at Wang Qiong dazedly, with a strange look on his face that was extremely incomprehensible.
The rest of the Dark Guard battalion also showed the same expression as Qingfeng.
Waiting for Qingfeng to twitch the corners of his mouth strangely, Bai Wutong frowned and looked, and he saw a very strong relief and determination in Qingfeng's bloodshot eyes.
Bai Wutong didn't know that the commander of the Dark Guard Battalion could only be loyal to one emperor. Now that she knew from Wang Qiong's mouth that Qingfeng would not be accommodated by King Ping, she immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
In this way, Qingfeng doesn't have to hold the smelly hostage and force Sheng Huaixuan to hand over the family property.
As if everyone at the scene ignored his words, Wang Qiong lowered his eyes and waved gloomily: "Give it to me! Take them down, life or death!"
Wang Qiong gave an order, and the officers and soldiers rushed up.
did not take into account that there are still a group of ordinary people here.
Qingfeng and Bai Wutong looked at each other and understood each other's meaning. Bai Wutong took back the axe, Qingfeng raised his sword, and gave instructions to everyone in the dark guard camp: "Kill them!"
"Yes!"
Bai Wutong gave Lin Yue and Zhao Pengfei an order: "Open the way outside and cover the team out of the city!"
"Yes!"
Wang Qiong laughed loudly: "It's not that easy to get out of the city!" He had already closed the city gate, and the refugees couldn't get in and the people couldn't get out. Only then can Beiyun City be absolutely safe.
And he is the absolute ruler of Beiyun City!
The voice just fell, but after a while, Qingfeng had led the people from the Dark Guard Battalion to kill him in front of him.
