Keep in mind our website and wish you all a happy reading!Don't forget to spread the word.

All in all, it was very embarrassing, but the Rong family's privately raised army, plus the defenders of Xiangzhou City, must not be underestimated.

From this, it can be seen that the Rong family has really made up their minds to be benevolent if they fail this time. Just raising the army privately is enough to punish the nine clans, not to mention such an obvious, seemingly rebellious Nothing different.

On Mount Zhu, a soldier hurried into the village. Gu Qianchen was sitting in a daze, not knowing where his thoughts went.

"My lord, the Rong family...the Rong family...is reversed..." the soldier said out of breath.

Gu Qianchen's thoughts were pulled back immediately, he narrowed his eyes, stood up, and said in a deep voice: "Go and inform the horse leader, prepare to meet the enemy, and be sure to wipe out these people in Xiangzhou."

"Yes." The soldier took the order and left.

Gu Qian had a serious face, with a very serious look.

The moment Ma Junshan stepped into the door, he saw Gu Qianchen obviously stunned for a moment. At this moment, the temperament of this Marquis Gu has completely changed, and his murderous aura is really frightening.Ma Junshan seemed to understand the difference between soldiers and bandits at that moment.

"Gu Houjue, the people of Mount Bi have already prepared." Ma Junshan came back to his senses, cupped his hands, and said.

Gu Qianchen nodded, squinted his eyes, and said, "The horse leader is more familiar with the terrain in Xiangzhou than I am. What do you think about this battle?"

"Two hundred miles to the east of Xiangzhou City, there is a valley, which is the only place to go to Rui'an City. We may choose to ambush there, and we should be able to eliminate many Rong's thieves." Hearing this, Ma Junshan thought carefully, made his own suggestion.

Gu Qianchen nodded slightly, thought for a moment, pursed her thin lips slightly, and then said: "Okay, we will do as the leader of the horse said, but there is still one problem."

Ma Junshan was stunned for a moment, looked at Gu Qianchen, and said, "If you have any questions from Marquis Gu, just ask."

Gu Qianchen smiled and said: "Actually, it's nothing, I just hope that the leaders of the horse can obey the orders. It is a big taboo to disobey military orders when marching and fighting. I can't give orders to the leaders of the horse directly, so I hope that the leaders of the horse can obey my orders." Discuss the action plan first, so as to avoid disagreements during the action process and delay major events."

"What Gu Houjue said is very true. Don't worry, I will definitely restrain my subordinates." Ma Junshan immediately assured him when he heard the words.

Gu Qianchen nodded in satisfaction, and then began to discuss the specific action plan with Ma Junshan.Presumably, the people of the Rong clan, they are at least in the dark, which is an advantage, and, presumably, Mount Bi is closer to the valley, they have enough time to think about the action plan, which is also an advantage.

Naturally, Zhou Rong also learned about what happened in Xiangzhou City from the population of Bishan. He was not very worried about Gu Qianchen and Ma Junshan, he was worried about Mr. Qiao.What is the situation in Xiangzhou City? None of them know now. Will Mr. Qiao be in danger? Will the people in the city be in danger?

Although the Rong family raised troops under the banner of the Qing emperor, if they hurt the people in the city, they would definitely be punished, but he was really worried that those people would not be able to do anything.Zhou Rong went to Gu Qianchen and told him what he was worried about, and Gu Qianchen was also very helpless about it, he could only solve the problem of raising troops as soon as possible, there was no other way.Zhou Rong was also very aware of this, so he could only sigh, and went back to his room lamenting that he was useless, deeply ashamed, and determined to be a good official for the country and the people.

After everything was ready, the action began in an orderly manner.

Chapter 52 The Beginning of the Battle

At this time, Xiangzhou City has not yet entered the rainy season, and the weather is still good, suitable for various activities, and it is advisable to march.

The soldiers and horses of the Rong family took Xiangzhou City quickly, and encountered almost no resistance. Of course, if the door was opened and the welcome was regarded as "resistance".Because the defenders of Xiangzhou City directly surrendered or even joined in, the remaining people wanted to resist, and without good equipment, they could only die in vain. Therefore, under the persuasion of Mr. Qiao, the people gave up this idea. They must believe , the fall of Xiangzhou City was only temporary.

Except for a small number of soldiers defending the city, all the soldiers in Xiangzhou City followed orders and headed towards Rui'an City.At that time, when the soldiers are approaching the city, it will be difficult for the emperor to agree.Of course, this is just the idea of ​​the Rong family.

In the valley, the Rong family's army gradually approached. On the top of the cliffs on both sides, Ma Junshan and the people of Gushan were ambushing.The whole valley is filled with the sound of horseshoes stepping on the ground.

Rong's army marched to the mouth of the valley, the wind accumulated through the valley, and the draft came suddenly, stirring up the dust on the ground, startling the horses in the front row, and their footsteps hesitated a bit.The whole team was temporarily stagnant because of this.

The leader, Rong Zhigang, raised his hand and ordered the entire team to stop. He moved his eyes to the depths of the valley, squinted his eyes, thought for a moment, and said, "A hundred people form a team and go first, forming a long snake formation."

"Yes."

The vanguard moved forward cautiously in the valley, at a very slow speed.This kind of valley itself is an excellent place to set up an ambush. Even if they don't have any foreseeable enemies at present, they still have to be careful.After all, the role of the vanguard itself is to avoid losses to the large troops as much as possible and reduce the possible casualty rate.

On the top of the cliff, Ma Junshan's people were just about to make a move, but they were stopped by Ma Junshan. They looked at Ma Junshan suspiciously, silently expressing their confusion.Ma Junshan shook his head lightly, then pointed down the valley.The man looked in the direction Ma Junshan was pointing at. A group of slender teams passed through the middle of the valley. The number of people was too small. Although the end of the team could not be seen, the cautious performance of these people still made the man With a chill in my heart, these people have long been prepared.

If you do it at this moment, it won't cause too much damage to the enemy, but it will startle the enemy, revealing your position and purpose, so that the previous plan fails, and these people will be released from the valley.

At the same time, Gu Qianchen was leading the army to attack the city. At this time, the guards left behind in Xiangzhou City would relax a lot and their vigilance would be even worse. It is obviously an excellent time to attack the city.

There were not many defenders left in the city, and it took less than an hour from besieging the city to recovering Xiangzhou City.As for the reason, just seeing the army outside the city, the only remaining defenders in Xiangzhou City surrendered automatically.

It can also be seen from this point that the Rong family is actually unpopular in Xiangzhou City, so the morale of the army is unstable. Facing the imperial soldiers and horses approaching the city, they have no desire to resist at all.Even if there were a few who wanted to resist, they were suppressed by the majority.

As soon as the imperial army entered Xiangzhou City, the people rushed to tell each other, and then spontaneously broke into the Rong Mansion, captured the old lady Rong who was staying in the Rong Mansion, and escorted him to Gu Qianchen.Of course, among the people who broke into Rong's mansion, it's hard to say whether someone would fish in troubled waters and take the opportunity to order something valuable from Rong's mansion.

The old man of the Rong family was considered the number one person in the powerful government and the public back then, and the tragic experience of the empress's natal family was inseparable from this person.It was for the sake of his daughter Concubine Rong's future in the harem, and it was also because the Qiu family blocked his way in the court.

Mrs. Rong is used to being domineering in the officialdom, offended many people, and also has many colleagues who are like dogs, plus the matter of the queen's family, it can be said to be a thorn in the emperor's eyes. If his daughter hadn't begged the emperor to spare his life before she died , the emperor also agreed on the basis of his relationship with Concubine Rong for many years, and he died on the guillotine long ago.

Gu Qianchen looked at the grey-haired and disheveled old man Rong in front of him, his eyes darkened, and said: "Master Rong, my father once mentioned you to me."

The old man Rong stood up straight, as if he still wanted to maintain his dignity at this moment, he gave Gu Qianchen a cool look, snorted coldly, and said: "Why should you talk too much with the old man, it won't be a good word anyway."

Gu Qianchen laughed when he heard this, this person is really self-aware, when Gu Ding mentioned this expression of gnashing his teeth, wanting to eat his flesh alive, I think it is also the expression of most of the ministers in the court today.

The old man Rong glanced at Gu Qianchen, with a half-smile expression, and said: "Anyway, this old man lived longer than your short-lived father, the old man has already made money by living so long. "
