    "Empire Hegemony" Chapter 295

    The Qinghe Army led by Chen Ziang completely surrounded the capital of Luyang Province, and the city was also facing an enemy, and the air was filled with a murderous aura.

    Since the uprising in Qinghe Province, the Qinghe Army has attacked the city like a broken bamboo, and even attacked the capital of the Far Eastern Dynasty. It can be said that it is notorious.

    Although it is only a part of the Qinghe Army that surrounds the capital of Luyang Province, the governor of the province is still on pins and needles, full of fear for Chen Ziang.

    "When will the reinforcements arrive?"

    The governor of the province has asked this sentence countless times since Chen Ziang led his troops to the outside of the city.

    "Your Excellency, we have sent five groups of messengers." The guard general replied.

    Looking at the gray sky outside, the governor of the province felt very bad. The reinforcements had not been seen for a long time, and he couldn't sleep well now.

    "Send someone to tell the son-in-law that if he can't arrive within three days, I'm afraid he will have to collect my body." The provincial governor said to the guard general.

    "No!"

    The guard generals naturally hoped that the reinforcements would arrive as soon as possible, even though their provincial guard had nearly 20,000 troops.

    But the combat effectiveness of these nearly 20,000 troops is about the same as that of tofu dregs. He is naturally like Ming Jing'er in his heart, so he can't count on it.

    "By the way, let the garrison troops of our prefectures and counties also immediately reinforce. They must arrive within five days, no, within three days."

    When the guard general was about to step out of the living room door, the governor of the province added another sentence later.

    "No!"

    The guard generals also knew that the situation was in dire straits, but this was the provincial capital after all, so they didn't dare to leave here and run for their lives alone.

    Because the inspectors stationed by the imperial court are now stationed here, if they dare to escape, they may lose their heads before leaving the city.

    The guard general hurried back to the barracks in the city, and immediately called his confidant general to him.

    "Immediately send people to rescue, not only to go to the son-in-law, but also to the prefectures and counties. The governor said that within two days, reinforcements from all prefectures and counties must arrive, otherwise they will be dealt with by military law."

    The provincial governor's order to the police officers was to limit the reinforcements from the prefectures and counties to arrive within three days.

    However, the guard general was worried about his own safety, so he directly shortened this time limit to two days.

    "Master General, there are bandit army cavalry everywhere outside the city now, I'm afraid the brothers don't want to go."

    "Who doesn't want to go, the military law will do it!" The guard general said viciously.

    "I'm afraid they'll join the bandits when they leave the city." The confidant general couldn't help reminding.

    After hearing this, the guard general sighed involuntarily, and asked, "Then what should we do?"

    "There must be a brave man under a heavy reward, but we don't have the money" The confidant general stared at the guard general, seeming a little lack of confidence.

    "You go to Mr. Wang to ask for it, and just say I said it." The guard general said.

    The guard general added: "Brothers who are willing to go out of the city to ask for help, each will be rewarded with one hundred gold coins, fifty gold coins will be given first, and the other half will be made up when they come back alive."

    "No!"

    After this confidant officer heard that there was a bounty, he became more confident, so he left soon and went to the treasury to collect a lot of gold coins.

    It's just that when he recruited soldiers to deliver the letter, he directly gave a 20% discount to the one hundred gold coins that the guard general said he was willing to go, and only gave 80, and he gave half of it first, and received the rest after the letter was delivered.

    Although there are only 80 gold coins, it is a huge temptation for soldiers who only have dozens of copper coins a month and are often in arrears, so many desperadoes who support bravery save their lives.

    The officer selected 20 people, divided them into five teams, gave them a bounty, drank Zhuangxing wine, and then let them go.

    The twenty soldiers of the Provincial Guard quietly rode out of the city along the open city gate after nightfall.

    They also all had tense faces, holding swords wrapped in black silk in their hands, ready for a bloody fight.

    But what surprised them was that they hadn't encountered a single ranger from the Qinghe Army even as they walked far away from the provincial capital.

    "Will there be an ambush?"

    Seeing the darkness around them and not encountering the Qinghe army, it made these messengers who were ready to die feel guilty.

    "Never mind him, let's go."

      They didn't bother to investigate why they didn't meet the rangers of the Qinghe Army, so they could only quickly ride their horses towards the distance, and soon disappeared into the darkness.

    After these couriers in the city disappeared into the darkness, more than a dozen Qinghe army rangers wearing cloaks quietly emerged from the darkness beside the road.

    They glanced at the messenger who had run away, and two of them quickly turned their horses and headed towards the camp.

    The rangers quickly sent the information to the staff on duty next to the Chinese army tent where Chen Ziang was, sorted it out and sent it to Chen Ziang's place.

    "General, the rangers have sent news. Just now, five teams of messengers have left the city. Each team has two people and four horses."

    "One of the teams is from the North City, two teams are from the South City, and two teams are from the West City"

    When Chen Ziang heard the report from the clerk Chu Yue's crisp voice, he couldn't help but raise his head.

    "Why are you so detailed today?" Chen Ziang couldn't help asking.

    Chu Yue replied: "When they reported it just now, I thought it was too brief, so I went to the tent next door and asked the rangers who came back to report."

    "You did very well."

    Chen Ziang also nodded in satisfaction after hearing Chu Yue's answer.

    They used to be rangers or scouts. After sending back any information, the staff sent it almost intact, and they didn't ask the rangers or scouts too much.

    However, Chu Yue, the clerk, went to inquire about the rangers again in person, rearranged the information, and made the information more detailed. Chen Ziang had to look at her differently.

    Chu Yue was originally from a big family like the Chu family, and was proficient in everything from piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and as a woman, she was more careful. Chen Ziang didn't expect that keeping her by his side to help would actually play a role.

    "You are also tired from marching during the day, go to rest early, I don't need anyone to take care of me now." Chen Ziang saw Chu Yue with a haggard face, and said.

    "General, then I will take my leave."

    After Chu Yue bowed to Chen Ziang, she turned around and headed out of the military tent.

    "By the way, you are careful in doing things. Starting tomorrow, go to the staff tent nearby and help me sort out more information."

    Chen Ziang looked at Chu Yue's back, thought for a while, and then said one more sentence.

    Chu Yue was also taken aback. She turned her head and saw Chen Ziang's sincere face, and a warm current surged in her heart. Although she was only asked to help sort out the information, she still had great trust.

    "General, I"

    Although Chu Yue knew that it was because Chen Ziang trusted her, but she felt that she was not suitable for being a girl, so she wanted to refuse.

    "That's it, let's go down and rest early." Chen Ziang interrupted Chu Yue directly, and said in an unquestionable tone.

    Chu Yue is now homeless, and the Qinghe army took her in. Although she still wanted to refuse, she was worried that Chen Ziang would be unhappy, so she finally compromised.

    "Thank you, General."

    After Chu Yue thanked Chen Ziang with a face full of gratitude, she left Chen Ziang's military tent.  (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
