Wuxiang.

"kill!!!"

Gao Yanzong's eyes widened, and the leader suddenly appeared at the gate of the city.

Wuxiang City never expected to be attacked by the enemy. There were few soldiers guarding the city. There was chaos inside and outside the city. People fled in all directions. In order not to alarm the soldiers on the wall, Gao Yanzong did not bring too many knights this time.

, there are only about thirty people.

Gao Yanzong wielded a spear in his hand. He was bloated, but his movements were extremely agile and powerful. He killed several soldiers at the city gate directly, and then occupied the city gate.

This cavalry raid tactic is also unique to the Northern Dynasties. When Liang Guogong of the puppet Zhou Dynasty led a dozen people to seize the city, as long as he controlled the city gate and allowed his family to enter directly, he would have won the city.

.

The knights from the rear rushed over together and quickly entered the city.

The division of states and counties in the Puppet Zhou Dynasty was worse than that of Qi State. Just by looking at the general managers of ten counties and the general managers of nineteen states in their country, you can find out the clues.

Especially the prefectures and counties near Chang'an, which are called prefectures, are just counties, not even townships.

And such a state has to support a government army. Fortunately, according to the household registration documents, these states have "rich populations" and "food accumulation", so there is no need to worry about the burden on the people being too heavy.

When the Han army entered Wuxiang, Gao Yanzong went straight to the government office.

In front of the government office, we formally encountered the army here. There were only two to three hundred people on the other side, and many of them were dressed as officials.

Gao Yanzong took the lead, running from left to right, killing heads like a torrent, and no one could stop him.

After quickly capturing the government office, Yao Xiong and others could finally rest for a while.

They had not rested since they came from Longmen. The whole army was extremely tired. Fortunately, they successfully captured the city this time.

Gao Yanzong followed Yao Xiong and looked at various maps pulled out from the official office, including a defense map near Chang'an.

"Yanzong, you take the sergeants to rest in the city first, and I will be on guard."

"I will rest after you rest.

Yao Xiong frowned, "In the immediate surroundings, only Da Xiwu from the Yunzhou direction has the ability to send troops, but the situation on his side is very complicated. Without the emperor's edict, he would not dare to leave the defense area at all."

"Ah? Is there still such a thing?"

Gao Yanzong had been surprised before. Ever since they climbed the cliff, Yao Xiong had led them all the way, rushing to leave Da Xiwu's defense area. He thought it was just to avoid being entangled by Da Xiwu. Unexpectedly, there were other reasons.

Yao Xiong said disdainfully: "These Zhou people are plotting against each other. The emperor is not trusted by the generals, and the generals are not trusted by the emperor. How can they achieve anything big?"

"This Yunzhou was established for Wei Xiaokuan. How many years had Wei Xiaokuan been stationed here? He couldn't come out. Later, because no general could stop our heavenly troops, Wei Xiaokuan was asked to move to another place, and Da Xiwu was asked to come.

"

"Da Xiwu is also a prince. This place is very close to Chang'an and the location is dangerous. How can the emperor not be on guard against him?"

"The emperor didn't trust him, so he wasn't allowed to come out privately, and Da Xiwu didn't trust the emperor either. Who knows if he sent troops because of King Qin, the emperor would blame him for it?"

"If you and your generals disagree, you will always lose."

Yao Xiong's analysis was so clear that Gao Yanzong was stunned.

This is simply not what Yao Xiong could say.

How could General Yao, who usually looks like a tough guy, see the relationship between the enemy's kings and generals so clearly, and even use this as the enemy's weakness?

Looking at the stunned Gao Yanzong, Yao Xiong continued to show off, "Besides, there is no need to worry even if he catches up. He is not sure whether we are the only one crossing the river. After this first time, he will be on guard."

The second time, even if he came to pursue us, he would not dare to lead the army."

Yao Xiong then analyzed the situation of garrisons and generals in various places for him.

After talking a lot, Yao Xiong patted Gao Yanzong on the shoulder and said, "Okay, you'd better go and rest first. We have to continue setting off tomorrow. We still have some things to do in Huashan County! Go and rest!"

Gao Yanzong saluted, then turned and left.

After sending Gao Yanzong away, Yao Xiong felt very comfortable. He used the old man's words to show off, which was really good!

good!

The entire Longmen strategy was the idea of ​​Old Man Bao. Of course, Bao Xian told Yao Xiong what happened to Da Xiwu and others. Bao Xian thought about this matter for a long time and thought a lot. He basically thought of everything he could think of.

.

The Zhou people's way of going out to war was too fixed, and it was always the same two ways.

Baoxian knew very early on that his strategy would be useful one day.

After Yao Xiong and Gao Yanzong took turns to rest, they hurriedly left Wuxiang the next day and went straight to Huazhou.

By this time, reports had been received all over the country, and people were panicking when they learned that enemies were coming to kill them.

Fortunately, the officials of Zhou State are of high quality. They are not like those of Qi State who surrender when they know the enemy is coming.

Although the demons did not have an army, they still thought of all ways to stop the enemy, including destroying roads, strengthening city walls, and even setting fire to dense forests along the way.

However, these methods were of little use in front of the oncoming knights, and there was simply not enough time for them to prepare.

Yao Xiong led the army to capture Huayin County the next day.

The city wall in Huayin County was short. Three rounds of wheel throws caused most of the west wall to collapse, and then the warriors rushed in directly.

After Yao Xiong entered the city, he quickly occupied the official office and then captured several prisoners.

He asked his first question.

"Where is Yang Su's home??"

Chang'an.

The knights came running wildly, causing everyone to flee in all directions.

These knights were all hurried scouts, and no one dared to intercept them. They rushed all the way to the inner city, handed the letter to the guards at the city gate, and collapsed from exhaustion.

Inside the palace.

Yu Wenyong was sitting in his study, looking at the memorials sent from various places.

He is now trying his best to curb the big families in the country, forcing them to share their cultivated land and slave tenants equally, etc.

Those officials from various places who had been delaying and fooling the emperor were dismissed one by one by Yu Wenyong.

He replaced young people from the clan who were motivated and willing to do things as local officials.

These young men from the clan are really powerful. Relying on their status as clan members, they are not too afraid of the local big families and can act ruthlessly.

Soon, good news began to spread from various places.

Yu Wenyong looked at these documents with joy on his face.

It is indeed feasible to use the clan to defeat the wealthy clans.

When it comes to big families, the royal family is the largest. Local officials come from different families.

They all colluded with each other and would not carry out the emperor's orders at all, nor would they do anything to their own families.

But these clans were different. They would do whatever the emperor asked them to do, without hesitation at all, and they didn't care about the big family at all.

No matter how powerful your tribe is, can they be more powerful than mine?

Yu Wenyong looked at the confessions of these brothers and nephews, and the smile on his face became more and more.

The letters written by these young brothers were very simple and rude, and they did not have so many rules when it came to their own families. There were no red tapes. Most of them were just showing off to Yu Wenyong, saying how many wealthy people they had killed and how many good things they had stolen.

class.

Yu Wenyong nodded slowly.

It seems that the next step is to promote more clans. The wealthy families and nobles in the country are becoming more and more powerful, and only enough clans can suppress them.

Just as Yu Wenyong was thinking, Gao's voice suddenly came from outside the door.

"His Majesty!!!"

This exclamation directly interrupted all Yu Wenyong's thoughts, and Yu Wenyong was furious.

However, he realized that the person who spoke was talking about a high-level question, and his anger immediately subsided.

"Let him in!"

The next moment, Gao Ying was brought in by several soldiers. Gao Ying was holding a document in his hand, with a look of despair on his face.

"Your Majesty!! Something big happened!!"

"Don't panic, what happened?"

"There are bandits who have forced their way across Longmen, have conquered Wuxiang, and are heading towards Chang'an."

"What?!"

Yu Wenyong stood up quickly.

He snatched the document from Gao Ying's hand and lowered his head to read.

After looking at it for a few times, his face turned red.

"Okay, what a great Da Xiwu!"
