Chapter 421 Attacking Mingzhou (1)

“···”

He just wanted to remind her not to talk nonsense, is it that serious?

Zhao Dashan had no words to express his pain and could only hug himself with grievance. What should he do? The old woman seemed to be becoming more and more domineering!

“Puff!”

Seeing this, Shen Xiangwan burst out laughing, and facing their puzzled gazes, she said loudly: "Aunt Wang, don't be angry about people like the dog emperor. The world is in chaos now, and he can't be the emperor for many days."

This was not a lie to fool them. Thanks to the dog emperor's own outrageous actions, ambitious people from all over the country raised the banner of rebellion. Since he had recently transferred garrisons from all over the country to join the Binzhou Army, many cities did not have enough troops to resist the rebellion and had gradually fallen. But at this time he could not transfer the Binzhou Army, otherwise they would definitely quickly occupy the nearby provincial capitals. The dog emperor had put himself in a dilemma and he didn't know how much he regretted it now.

"You must win, and then you can kill the dog emperor with your own hands to avenge the old prince and his men!"

Aunt Wang was still a little angry. As a citizen of a border state, she knew better than anyone how lucky it was to have a guardian god on the border who could resist the enemy. But the dog emperor killed them for his own selfish reasons and ignored the lives of the people in the East. Even though she was not a citizen of the East, she was still furious.

"Um."

Meeting her eyes and nodding, Shen Xiangwan turned to Zhao Dashan and said, "Uncle Zhao, have you planted the second crop in the fields?"

If she didn't change the subject, she was afraid that Aunt Wang would continue to scold her. The dog emperor was far away in the imperial city. Even if she scolded him more, it would only be a waste of words. There was no need for her to be upset with him.

"We've already planted it. We heard the military will buy a lot of corn, so we're all planting corn."

Speaking of this, Zhao Dashan's expression became serious. Now they have more food than they can eat, so they all chose corn that they can exchange for money with the military.

"Well, we do want to purchase corn in unlimited quantities."

Nodding, Shen Xiangwan smiled and said, “When the time comes, you just need to send the dried corn kernels to the government office, and they will purchase them on your behalf.”

"good."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Dashan immediately agreed. The two chatted for a few more words before Shen Xiangwan suddenly said, "By the way, Uncle Zhao, there's something I need to tell you in advance. It's about our village school. My husband and I have discussed this. In order to allow more children to go to school, each county government will build a school and allow children to attend for free. Once our county school is built, I plan to close the village school."

Not only in Chenzhou, in the future she will open a free school in every county across the country, which will be directly sponsored by the government. Anyone who wants their children to study can send their children to school. Of course, a school sponsored by the government will definitely not be opened in any village. It will not be as convenient for the children in Yong'an Village to continue their schooling as it is now. However, they now have ox carts and horse carts, so they can send their children to school together. It is not a difficult task for them now.

"I see."

Hearing this, Zhao Dashan was inevitably a little surprised: "As you should. There are too many families who can't afford to send their children to school. It can't be just our few villages that benefit. You're doing the right thing!"

"I'm glad Uncle Zhao can understand."

Shen Xiangwan couldn't help but laugh. This was why she was willing to interact with them. Maybe Zhao Dashan was not a powerful figure, but he was very clear-headed and always knew what to do. He was a very responsible and kind person. If it weren't for him, Yong'an Village would not have become as good as it is now.

Wanqishan and his sons have been transferred away. Chengping Hou Lin Yuezhi, who came from the imperial city, took over the Binzhou army. With him was his eldest son Lin Yuying. Both father and son were good at fighting. If Lin Yuezhi had not been ill, it would not have been Xiong Tiancheng who suppressed the Binzhou rebellion in the beginning.

But being able to fight and being able to win a battle are two completely different things. Lin Yuezhi is obviously no match for Wanqi Shan. Shen Xiangwan is about to give birth. In order to make time to accompany her during childbirth, Wei Chengyi decides to first destroy their prestige and take over Mingzhou. On the third day after returning home, he went to the provincial capital alone and personally led an army of 100,000 to attack Mingzhou.

"kill!"

“Kill!”

Lin Yuezhi did not avoid the battle. He also led an army of 100,000 to form a battle array. At the junction of Chenzhou and Mingzhou, the two armies with a total of 200,000 people stood facing each other. Wei Chengyi had no intention of talking nonsense with them. He raised his Mo Dao and led the cavalry to charge out. The Wei family army, which had not yet fought enough with the Western Hu people, rushed forward like a chicken with blood injected.

"Soldiers, follow me to destroy these rebels!"

“Charge!”

Lin Yuezhi, who was about to say a few words, suddenly turned pale and drew out his sharp blade, pointing it at the Wei family army that had already rushed over. Compared with the other side's excitement, the Binzhou army's momentum was obviously lacking. They were originally a ragtag army composed of garrisons from various places, and they had encountered the taboo of changing generals in the middle of a battle. Lin Yuezhi and his son obviously had not had time to boost their morale, and it was considered good enough that they could obey their orders and go to the battlefield.

"Bang!"

"What?!"

“Ahh…”

The two soldiers met, and the sharp blade in Lin Yuezhi's hand was cut off by Wei Chengyi's sword, which shocked him so much that his eyes were about to burst. If he had not dodged quickly, half of his body would have been chopped off by Wei Chengyi's sword. At the same time, the soldiers' screams rang out one after another. Their experiences were the same as Lin Yuezhi's. The weapons in their hands broke into two halves as soon as they touched the opponent. The opponent did not give them a chance to react, and the sharp blade came towards them again. Some people lost their lives without even having the time to scream. The gap between them was too big.

"Retreat, retreat!"

How can we fight without a weapon? Lin Yuezhi dared not to fight any longer, and his roar mixed with his internal strength spread throughout the battlefield, but...

"Want to leave?"

Wei Chengyi snorted coldly, waved away the people around him and chased after them. Qingying, who had fought with him, raised his Mo Dao high and said, "Brothers, we can't let them retreat. Kill them!"

"kill!"

The sound containing internal force was clearly transmitted to the ears of every soldier on the battlefield. The Binzhou army was almost scared to death, but the Wei family army was full of momentum and attacked and killed the enemy even more ferociously. The Binzhou army had been stationed at their doorstep for two months, and they had been holding a grudge for a long time. How could they let them go easily now?

"Damn it, hurry up, hurry up!"

Seeing Wei Chengyi approaching, Lin Yuezhi whipped his horse whip frantically. He had never dreamed that the gap between the Binzhou Army and the Wei Family Army would be so huge. How could their weapons be so powerful? Without weapons that could match theirs, they would be at the mercy of others. If he had known this earlier, he would never have accepted the challenge.
