Chapter 355: Arrogant Yang Qi
Dawn is approaching as the first rays of sunlight appear in the sky.
At this time in Beidi County City, the cries and shouts had gradually died down.
Countless northerners looked at their loved ones lying on stretchers.
He squatted beside her, looking pale and weak.
Some northerners knelt in front of the corpses covered with white cloth, covering their faces and crying.
Looking at these crying people, Jiang Chen didn't say anything.
He just turned around and spoke to Huo Xiang and Li Yuanyi beside him.
"Order someone to take out all the money from the Beidi County treasury."
"Give all that money to the people whose relatives have died!"
After hearing Jiang Chen's order, Huo Xiang and Li Yuanyi did not hesitate at all.
They bowed to Jiang Chen in unison and responded loudly.
"I will obey your orders, my lord, please rest assured!"
After receiving the order, the two generals turned around and left.
He led a team of soldiers towards the treasury of Beidi County.
Soon, Huo Xiang and Li Yuanyi came over with boxes of money.
After placing the boxes of gold, silver and jewelry in front of Jiang Chen.
The two of them bowed to Jiang Chen and said.
"My lord, all the money in the Beidi County Treasury is here."
"Please confirm. If there is no problem, I will distribute it."
Hearing this, Jiang Chen nodded slowly and answered the two of them.
"Alright, no need to confirm, I will trust you two to handle the matter!"
Seeing that Jiang Chen had said this, Huo Xiang and Li Yuanyi no longer hesitated.
He ordered his soldiers to gather together the people who had lost their loved ones.
After the people were gathered together, Huo Xiang and Li Yuanyi counted the total amount of money.
All the money was distributed equally to the innocent people affected.
After getting the money, the people who originally had some resentment towards the Northern Army in their hearts.
Finally, he slowly put away the resentment in his heart and thanked the soldiers from the Northern Territory.
For them, although their families were killed during the siege by the North.
However, after Jiang Chen led his army into Beidi County.
They did not rush to chase after Wang Zhongqing's troops who had already escaped.
Instead, he gave the order directly and led the soldiers from the northern border in person.
Help these people in the north and rescue their loved ones.
Not only that, Jiang Chen also asked the military doctor to accompany the army.
Provided timely assistance to the injured people and their families.
Jiang Chen's every move influenced the people who originally hated the Northern Army very much.
After stabilizing the people's hearts in Beidi County, Jiang Chen welcomed the central army led by Han Zhong and Du Mingyu.
Jiang Chen led his army against Xia this time, except for these 100,000 vanguard troops.
Behind them were the 100,000-strong central army led by Han Zhong and Du Mingyu.
And the 100,000 rear troops led by two generals newly promoted by Jiang Chen!
A full 300,000-strong army is Jiang Chen's entire force in this anti-Xia campaign.
Although facing the Xia Kingdom with a million soldiers, 300,000 troops are not enough.
But, these three hundred thousand people.
Each of them is a soldier carefully trained by the generals under Jiang Chen!
Moreover, each of these 300,000 people is equipped with weapons and armor forged by the pouring steel method and the frying steel method!
It is no exaggeration to say that these 300,000 people can match the Xia army which is several times larger than their own!
Not to mention, among these 300,000 people, there are 20,000 musketeers equipped with muskets.
Jiang Chen handed over the task of rebuilding Beidi County to Han Zhong and Du Mingyu who led the central army.
He then continued to advance with the vanguard, and a full 100,000-strong army marched towards the territory of Xia State in a mighty manner.
The only gateway between Beidi County and the North was broken.
Prince Yu Yu, who fled back to the territory of Xia, was soon under the protection of Wang Zhongqing.
He fled all the way to Liaocheng Prefecture, which was adjacent to Beidi Prefecture.
After Yang Qi, the governor of Liaochengzhou, received the news.
He personally led 50,000 troops and met Yu Yu, Wang Zhongqing and his party in Tongliao County of Liaochengzhou.
Looking at Yu Yu, who had been sleeping in the open air all the way and looked extremely miserable.
Yang Qi, a confidant of the royal family, immediately felt distressed. Without thinking too much, he rode his horse to Yu Yu.
Then he reined in the warhorse, dismounted and knelt in front of Yu Yu.
"Your old minister, Yang Qi, governor of Liaocheng Prefecture, greets His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"
"Your Highness, may you live a thousand years and a thousand thousand years!"
Looking at Yang Qi's expression that showed he was very concerned about his safety.
Yu Yu's nose felt sore and his eyes became moist.
"Please get up quickly, Yangzhou Mu!"
Yu Yu said this, and hurried forward to help Yang Qi up personally.
Seeing that Yu Yu actually came forward to help him, Yang Qi was immediately moved.
"Your Highness, I have prepared a banquet in Tongliao County."
"Your Highness the Crown Prince and General Wang, please come with me to the banquet!"
As Yang Qi spoke, he also bowed to Wang Zhongqing who was standing beside him.
When Wang Zhongqing heard that the other party had specially set up a banquet, a look of displeasure flashed across his face.
I thought to myself, it’s already this late, and you still have the leisure to hold a banquet here?
At present, the northern army has already conquered Beidi County, and the next one is Liao Chengzhou.
As long as Liao Chengzhou is captured, the capital and hinterland of the Xia Kingdom will be exposed to the northern army!
Therefore, the most urgent task is to quickly notify the capital.
Let Emperor Yu Anmin issue an order immediately to notify everyone in the Xia Kingdom to come.
Together, they blocked the invading army from the northern border at the last pass in Liaochengzhou.
Thinking of this, Wang Zhongqing looked at Yang Qi with some displeasure.
"Yangzhou Mu, Wang feels that this is the most urgent matter now."
"I wrote a letter to His Majesty, informing Him that the Northland had been lost."
"This way, His Majesty can send troops in time."
"To help Liaochengzhou, if we only rely on the strength of Liaochengzhou."
"I'm afraid we can't defeat the Northern Army at all!"
After hearing what Wang Zhongqing said, Yang Qi was slightly startled, and then he spoke confidently.
"General Wang, you are worrying too much. I have 100,000 soldiers and armors in Chengzhou, Liao."
"There is also General Pan Qi. The soldiers of a mere state in the northern border can be destroyed in a snap of a finger!"
"So General Wang, don't think too much about the battle report in the north."
"I will send someone to prepare it myself."
After hearing what Yang Qi said, Wang Zhongqing's face suddenly turned ugly.
What Yang Qi said simply showed that he did not take the Northern Territory seriously.
This old governor has absolutely no idea about the power that the North possesses!
Wang Zhongqing dared to bet that if the city of Beidi County was broken.
If the old governor had been present at the time, he would certainly have thought that what he said was ridiculous.
But unfortunately, the old governor was not there at all.
There will also be no chance to see the unknown weapons of the Northern Army that are like divine punishment!
