Chapter 142: Depression Cannot Be Relieved

Shuohuang's actions did shock some people. Read

Whether the governors of various places were waiting and watching or wanted to preserve their strength, no matter how much they pretended to obey before, they could not ignore the orders of Shuohuang. After all, the position was conferred by Shuohuang.

So regardless of whether they were sincere or not, except for a few strong ones who were unwilling to obey orders, the governors of Zhangyi, Zhongyi, Baosheng, Shanxi South Road, Shanxi East Road, Wude, Wuxin and other governors sent troops to the location of Shuohuang.

Of course, they would not send strong troops.

In case you, Shuohuang, could not resist the Qi army, the dynasty was destroyed, and the dynasty was replaced, the governors still wanted to keep some capital to negotiate with the new emperor.

It was only ten days after the seizure of the capital, and Cui Sheng had no time to write to his soldiers to ask for credit, and Chang'an was recaptured by the Qi army. Cui Sheng spit out a mouthful of old blood.

He was ruthless. Seeing that Lu Bocheng had signed a military order in front of him, he vowed to recapture the capital. I also followed his example and signed a military order in front of Emperor Shuo.

Emperor Shuo really had no one to use. He called back all the mercenaries of the Tuo Tuo clan that the previous emperor had driven to Mobei to help attack the city. The capital was captured, but because Mu Congke's men disturbed the people, they burned, killed, looted, and robbed women after entering the city. Finally, the people were indignant and opened the city gates to welcome the Qi army and killed them back.

In the end, the army was not organized, resulting in Chang'an being lost in his hands again.

You said you wanted women. When the situation stabilizes, how many women can I not give you? How many do you want? Do you need to rob women when I haven't entered the imperial city and am still halfway?

Emperor Shuo also had a mouthful of blood stuck in his heart. ơɱ

This time, Cui Sheng signed a military order in front of him, and handed over all the troops sent by the governors of various places to Cui Sheng.

Although Mu Congke also signed a military order in front of him, he cursed and swore to take back the capital! But the army hated his tribe's previous actions, and many people had already whispered in his ears that those who were not of our tribe must have different hearts.

Emperor Shuo was eager to go to the capital, and he also had complaints about Mu Congke. This time he did not use him, but only asked him to assist Cui Sheng.

As soon as Cui Sheng received this team, he handed them over to Lü Bocheng for training.

When Lü Bocheng took over, he saw that there were tens of thousands of people in total. It seemed that there were a lot of people, but if you look closely, you will know that they were a miscellaneous army, and they should have been eliminated from various armies or not reused.

Lü Bocheng thought that the people sent by the governors of various places would not be very good, but he did not expect them to be so bad.

They could not even stand in the basic military posture, and the basic gun-holding posture was not right. They could not master the basic movements of stabbing, piercing, pointing, piercing, wrapping, picking, and picking after practicing for several days.

Any cook in his team was better than them.

Lü Bocheng was holding back a lot of anger, and had nowhere to vent.

He got angry and asked them to get up before dawn and run in circles. They were not allowed to stop even after running a circle. They had to stand at attention under the scorching sun. They were not allowed to wipe the sweat from their eyes. They were not allowed to move even when mosquitoes bit them.

Would they choose to suffer once or die on the battlefield?

The next step was to practice the gun posture, over and over again, practicing the movements of stabbing, piercing, poking, piercing, wrapping, picking, and picking.

For several consecutive days, they practiced these postures, which were boring and tasteless. The training intensity was high, and gradually some people became dissatisfied, clamored, threw their guns and quit, and wanted to go back.

Lü Bocheng watched from the high platform, and saw the army below in disarray, with a cold look in his eyes.

Holding an iron spear, he jumped down from the high platform. Swinging the spear...

Everyone dodged, and a large circle with Lü Bocheng as the center was formed.

The long spear held by Lü Bocheng was not like the wooden handle of the soldiers, but was made of fine iron. He got it from the enemy and regarded it as a treasure. The spear head was shining with silver light, the spear was seven feet long, the tassel was six inches long, and it was as red as blood.

Next, he showed everyone the basic movements of stabbing, piercing, poking, piercing, entanglement, picking, pulling, blocking, and grabbing, and then performed a dance.

When dancing, cold stars and silver light were seen, which stunned everyone.

Since Lv Bocheng got the spear, he practiced day and night, and now he has a feeling of unity between man and spear.

His footwork is light, fast, and steady. When he takes out the spear, it is like a dragon emerging from the water, and when he takes in the spear, it is like a tiger entering the cave. The shocking performance made the soldiers forget to breathe.

Cui Sheng watched intently on the high platform, nodding as he watched.

Seeing that he moved like the wind and sneaked like a nail, he secretly praised him in his heart.

In time, Lv Bocheng will be the most outstanding general. If he practices his spear skills for a while, he will be impenetrable to water and indestructible to arrows and stones.

Lü Bocheng demonstrated it without even taking a breath, and looked at the soldiers coldly: "If anyone can take ten of my moves, I will let him go and give him gold and silver. If not, cheer up! I will not let you go until Chang'an is recaptured!"

Everyone was startled, and those who wanted to leave also stopped thinking. Who dares to challenge this? Isn't this courting death?

After that, the team was much easier to lead and more obedient. The posture of holding a gun was also standardized, and basic movements such as killing were also mastered.

Let Lü Bocheng finally accumulate some confidence in the next battle.

On the other side, the Emperor of Qi, who received the secret report, also began to move frequently.

Didn't you, Emperor Shuo, order the Jiedushi to send reinforcements? Do you think I don't have it?

The Emperor of Qi did not stop, sending people from all walks of life to some Jiedushi who were fence-sitters to serve as lobbyists, and also widely enfeoffed his subordinates, letting them take important positions in the states and counties that had been captured, and also won over heroes from all over the country and conferred a lot of official positions.

When the Jiedushi had no more land to be granted, he would be appointed as the inspector or general in various places.

Many green forest heroes were also granted fiefs by the Emperor of Qi and were won over by him. They began to show loyalty to the Emperor of Qi, and troops from all directions began to gather in the capital.

As for Lü Bocheng, although the training results were not up to expectations, because the Emperor of Qi had already gathered troops to rush to the capital, a war was imminent, so Lü Bocheng had to gather his troops and prepare to fight.

One month later, Lü Bocheng rushed to Chang'an with 100,000 troops.

In order to be safe, the Emperor of Shuo ordered Mu Congke, who had been granted the title of Jiedushi of Hedong, to lead his troops to march from Hedong to the capital. He and Cui Sheng's army were divided into two routes, one in the north and one in the south, attacking the Qi army from both sides.

The two armies, one in the north and one in the south, slowly narrowed the encirclement from the outside to the inside.

The war in the heart of the Central Plains was about to break out.

And Su Qingmei in the south also experienced several fights for heads and territory.

When Huang Xu's team left Fuzhou, there were only 5,000 people in the team. They went southward, recruited civilians, and annexed several small teams, with a total of 8,000 people.

When the team arrived in Renzhou, the governor of Renzhou thought that Huang Xu would lead troops to attack, and in fear, he threw down the military seal and ran away with his wives and concubines.

Huang Xu took Renzhou without losing a single soldier. After integrating the remaining soldiers and able-bodied men in Renzhou, the team expanded to 10,000 people.

Huang Xu began to swell.
