And it won't involve all the people.
"So, Your Majesty, there is nothing to hesitate. Now we have an army of 20. If the central government doesn't even have this courage, how can we revitalize the Great Zhou?" Xu Ding bowed to Ji Wu extremely respectfully, and then looked at the eight sages king.
Ji Wuji was still a little confused, isn't he eager to take back his power?
But these city lords are not easy to deal with.
The Eight Wise Kings said: "Your Majesty, what the son-in-law said is reasonable, if you miss this opportunity, it will be difficult in the future; if you don't break it, you can't build it, if you break it, you can build it, if you break it, you break it, if you don't stop it, you will be chaotic."
"Is 20 enough?" Ji Wuji still asked with some uncertainty.
Xu Ding and the Baxian King looked at each other and said in unison: "That's enough, as long as His Majesty is ambitious and determined, that's enough."
Seeing the two of them swearing in their vows, one is his good brother, the virtuous king, supported by the old school.
One is my good son-in-law, Xiaoyaohou, the pillar of the new school.
Ji Wuji clenched his fist and slapped the dragon chair, "Okay! Then deal with these thieves according to the laws of the Great Zhou."
Xu Ding and the Eight Sage Kings smiled knowingly, and then sorted out the city lords who could be cleaned up, and convicted anyone who was involved.
The three of them talked for a whole day, and they didn't leave the palace until midnight.
The next day Xu Ding left Haojing with his troops.
And also brought the edict issued by Ji Wuji to seek thieves.
Chapter 797 Sweeping the City Lord (Two in One)
"Yuan Zhi, how is the training of the new army doing now?" Xu Ding asked Xu Shu as soon as he returned to Xiaoyao City, and gave him the edict to seek thieves.
After Xu Shu took the edict to hunt for thieves and read it, he replied confidently: "My lord, there is basically no problem. The military discipline has been taught, and the new army has a preliminary combat effectiveness. The firearms of the Southern Ming Dynasty and the ordnance of the Western Qin Dynasty are easy to operate. , as soon as you learn it.
There must be a gap with the three major powers, but it is more than enough to deal with the guards of these city lord's mansions. "
"Okay! Then draw up a plan and start to eliminate the city lords of my Xiaoyao City. I will push them one by one. There is no need to show mercy." Xu Ding was very relieved when he heard the words, and he also looked forward to the fighting power of the new army.
This is a local army formed from the Soaring Dragon Continent. He has no idea how strong it is, and it needs to be tested in actual combat.
If training the guards of the city lord's mansion can't solve it, then how can they fight against the northern barbarian army on the battlefield.
Xu Shu had already planned the direction.
He pointed to the map and said, "My lord, first of all, let's divide our troops into two groups, attack the left and right wings of my Xiaoyao City, seize all the cities and towns that enter the Wanmo Mountain, and lock the Wanmo Mountain firmly in our hands. Push, form two forces with the Eight Sage Kings, one south and one north, to attack and kill all the city lords who disobey the order."
"Okay, let's follow this plan. The strategy I discussed with the Eight Sage Kings is the same. But don't use the name of the imperial court at first, but use the banner of my Xiaoyao City. First, distinguish it from the imperial court. How long have you been confused." Xu Ding affirmed the plan and did not propose a new one.
Soon, the 300 new troops were divided into three batches, each with [-], [-] people. Together with the cavalry from the Han Dynasty, there were about [-] troops along the way, and then they attacked from the left and right, and defended Xiaoyao City all the way.
East of Happy City!Jifang City, City Lord's Mansion.
"Report, something is wrong with the city lord. Eight thousand soldiers and horses from Xiaoyao City rushed towards us to worship Fangcheng."
The lord of Jifang City raised his brows slightly when he heard the words, and said with displeasure: "Don't be alarmed, did Xiaoyao City really come to my Jifang City? It's not going to other places."
"City Lord, the army of Xiaoyao City is indeed coming towards us. They have passed through all the paths, so it is impossible for them to go to other cities. Moreover, they are coming fiercely. They are a new army that has not long been established. Weapons, there are Nanming firearms, and the city lord will make preparations in the morning."
The Lord of Jifang City pondered for a while, took a few steps back and forth, and then said: "Beat the drums and gather the generals, transfer all the soldiers and horses to the city gate, and at the same time issue orders to the major mercenary organizations to assist in defending the city. If Xu Ding really comes If you are looking for trouble, resolutely fight back."
"Here!" The subordinates immediately went down to communicate.
Soon the gates of Jifang City were closed, and the people were also frightened and went home to hide.
About half an hour later, the army of Happy City finally arrived.
Xu Ding deliberately delayed the time, just to put more pressure on Jifang City and let the owner of Jifang City think more wildly.
Let his city lord's mansion guards be more worried.
"Shut up!"
The crowd stopped, and Xu Dingdan stepped forward.
The city lord Xiong Ba asked in a peaceful tone, "The person here is the lord of Xiaoyao City, Xiaoyaohou."
"Exactly." Xu Ding replied concisely.
Xiong Ba was a little annoyed, and he answered casually, and he didn't take him seriously, so Xiong Ba asked again: "Dare to ask why Xiaoyao Hou brought an army to my sacrifice to Fangcheng?"
"Seize the city!" Xu Ding still replied two words.
This time Xiong Ba's nose was crooked.
What a domineering word.
Seize the city, not even a cover-up.
Really underestimate him, Xiong Ba.
"Xiaoyaohou, I have nothing against Xiaoyao City and your Xiaoyao City, and I, Xiongba, have nothing against you. Why did you come to take my city?" Xiong Ba was very puzzled, and said with resentment in his heart.
Xu Ding said coldly: "I want it!"
"Ahem..." Xiong was so domineering that he didn't cough up blood.
Listen, is this what people say?
If your sister wants it, hit me if she wants it. This is too domineering and unruly.
"Xiaoyaohou, my Jifang City is not so easy to fight. You used to have Xiaoyao City, and you can't manage it if you take my Jifang City. Why bother yourself." Xiong Ba glanced at Xu Ding from a distance. The new army behind him then said:
"How can you be free like this? It's not easy for your army to come from afar. I am willing to offer 10 taels of silver and [-] shi of grain. From then on, I will become an ally with Xiaoyao City and jointly maintain the stability of the south."
Xiong Ba's condition is also extremely high, it belongs to cutting flesh.
Distressed.
But when he thought of Xu Ding's new army's equipment, he could only bow his head.
The army in Xiaoyao City has weapons from the Western Qin Dynasty and firearms from the Southern Ming Dynasty.
In this fight, the priest will be beaten to pieces, and even if he defends in the end, his vitality will be greatly injured.
What is lost is profit.
"To take down Jifang City, the money is mine, and the city is also mine. You don't need others to give it to you. If you want, you can take 10 taels of silver and leave with the guards with [-] shi of grain. I won't stop you." Xu Ding He raised his head and said flatly.
"Damn it! I promise you don't bully people too much." Xiong Ba drew his sword and slashed at the wall, but couldn't help it anymore.
