Chapter 331 Jizhou News

On July 25, after a six-day trek, Niu Ben led 30,000 troops into Yunzhou.

At the same time, he received news that the 60,000 cavalry of Chagatai had approached Jizhou.

One of the 10,000-strong teams bypassed Jizhou and came to Yunzhou.

Taking out the map drawn by King Qi, Niu Ben analyzed the current situation in the Yunzhou army camp. Lu Fei, Luo Xin, Qi Guangyi, and Bai Muju all surrounded the map.

"That's great, 50,000 cavalry is a problem, we're not afraid of 10,000 people, let them taste the power of our musket team." Lu Fei said excitedly.

Niu Ben frowned, "It's unusual for this cavalry to go deep alone. You immediately send hussars out to investigate and keep an eye on their movements."

Lu Fei nodded. This hussar is a division of the Qingzhou cavalry after the reorganization. This cavalry type does not wear any armor, and the horses are also light and simple, and the horses are also the fastest among the Qingzhou cavalry.

And these hussars are not only responsible for the rapid assault mission, but also responsible for detecting the enemy's situation.

"Yes." Lu flew a military salute.

At this time, Niu Ben said to Qi Guangyi: "This time, His Highness asked us to send troops to Jizhou to gather the victims. Qi Guangyi, you led 5,000 cuirassiers to Jizhou to gather the victims and guide them into Yunzhou."

Qi Guangyi also responded loudly.

Then Niu Ben said to the remaining generals: "You immediately organize musketeers, charioteers, bowmen, and sword and shieldmen to fight at any time. You must not let this group of cavalry enter the hinterland of the fief."

"Yes!" the generals shouted in unison.

After making a battle plan, Niu Ben walked out of the barracks. At this time, Kong Yongan, the governor of Yunzhou outside the barracks, was waiting for him.

"Inspector Kong, this time the army is stationed in Yunzhou, there is so much harassment, I hope that Inspector Kong will not take offense." Niu Ben said with his fists folded.

Kong Yongan said: "Captain Niu, what you said is wrong, we are all looking forward to you coming. Recently, there have been rumors in the city that the Qinglong King is going to attack Yunzhou City to grab food. The people in the city are very uneasy. Now you Come, we can be at ease."

Niu Ben sneered: "This Qinglong King is so arrogant that he dares to attack Yunzhou's idea. Doesn't he know that this is King Qi's fief?"

"Jizhou has no food, this Qinglong King is also rebelling against the masses, and the people under him can't stand it without food." Kong Yongan said.

Niu Ben sighed, "As His Highness said, it really is an internal and external trouble now."

...

In Jizhou City, King Yong was pacing anxiously.

At this time, his home general, Chen Xinran, came in.

"Has the forbidden army come, has King Wei's army come, or has King Qi's army come?" King Yong asked with red eyes.

This time he was really anxious.

The civil turmoil in the fief was still unresolved. At this time, the barbarian army came again. Now Chagatai is leading cavalry to loot outside the city of Jizhou and surround the city of Jizhou.

The fief army who came to help Jizhou was killed by the barbarian cavalry. In the wild, his army was no match for the barbarian cavalry.

"His Royal Highness, no, the barbarian cavalry is still outside the city, and there is no battle with any army. All the troops in the city have already boarded the city wall."

Chen Xinran said.

When King Yong heard the words, he suddenly became furious, he pushed all the tea cups on the table to the ground, "These bastards, this king is about to die, why haven't they come to save me, bastard, bastard!"

Chen Xinran lowered his head and did not dare to make a sound.

King Yong has always been violent. When he was young, King Yong was also a very brave warrior. It was just the rich life of more than 20 to 30 years that made King Yong's body bloated.

Now King Yong only understands every day, and no longer has the bravery of the year.

The only constant is his violent temper and headstrong personality.

The severe drought in Jizhou since July last year should not have developed to this point, but King Yong did not care about the disaster.

But this is the second thing. From Chang'an, the grains and forages of the fiefs of various vassal kings were deducted layer by layer. When it came to King Yong, King Yong also deducted most of them, and the remaining part was sold to grain merchants.

These grains also include 100,000 stone grains from Qingzhou.

If these grains are used for disaster relief, perhaps the civil unrest will not get bigger and bigger.

When King Qi sent a letter to persuade him, King Yong just glanced at the letter and burned it, leaving only the sentence "Shuzi!"

With a sigh in his heart, Chen Xinran suddenly felt a trace of sadness.

The people in Jizhou were in chaos, and the barbarian invasion was added at this time. I am afraid that this time Jizhou city is more fortunate than fortune. At this time, King Yong can see that the situation is critical, but at this time their fate can no longer be controlled by themselves.

"His Royal Highness, but the number of cavalry outside the city is now 10,000 fewer, and a 10,000-strong team seems to have gone to Yunzhou." Chen Xinran recalled a message and said.

"Going to Yunzhou, great, great, maybe these cavalry are going to attack King Qi, just staying in Jizhou, yes, yes, it must be like this, haha, now you go to Chengtou immediately with the barbarian leader Said, Qingzhou had a bumper harvest last year, and there was a lot of food, if they are willing to go to Jizhou to loot, we are willing to donate food and grass." King Yong walked a few steps to Chen Xinran, looking like a madman.

"Your Highness, this is collaborating with the enemy!" Chen Xinran said.

King Yong immediately changed his face and said angrily: "What's wrong with collaborating with the enemy and not collaborating with the enemy, now King Qi's death is better than this king's death, I haven't enjoyed enough in this flowery world, and now there are many kings in the Great Yu Kingdom, each managing their own affairs, sooner or later. Like Daiguo, the vassal king finally becomes the king himself, then he is the enemy of the king.”

Chen Xinran was suddenly speechless.

Facing King Yong's fierce eyes, he sighed and walked towards the city wall.

At this time, hundreds of miles away from Yunzhou City, the hussars who went out for reconnaissance had already found a 10,000-strong barbarian team moving towards Yunzhou.

On a plain, these barbarian cavalry were fighting a group of chaotic troops with various agricultural implements.

Although the number of the chaotic army is large, the barbarian cavalry is very fierce, arranging in a circle on the plain to surround the chaotic army in the middle and constantly shoot arrows in their hands.

The besieged chaotic army was shot and killed by arrows without being able to reach the barbarian horses.

The hussars looked at the banner of the chaotic army, which clearly had the three characters of Qinglong King written on it, which must be part of the chaotic army, and never expected to encounter the cavalry of the barbarians.

Staying in place and continuing to observe, the chaotic army quickly disintegrated after the fierce battle this hour. At this time, the barbarian cavalry took out their saber and kept slashing and killing the fleeing chaotic soldiers.

However, the pair of cavalrymen did not seem to want to be entangled with the chaotic army, so they quickly regrouped and set off for Yunzhou again.

Seeing this, the hussars immediately headed for Yunzhou City. He also saw the food and grass on the horses of the barbarian cavalry. It seemed that the barbarians were planning to go to Yunzhou.
