Connecticut and Hanzhou are neighbors.
In order to ambush King You, 70% of Kangzhou's more than 10,000 troops were stationed in the western part of the state, which is the border between Kangzhou and Hanzhou.
This is also the reason why Kang Jing dared to be so arrogant in Hanzhou.
As long as he gave the order, the troops from Kangzhou would be able to crush Hanzhou.
Han Zhong of Hanzhou, what can you do to him?
Being humiliated in public, Kang Jing was filled with rage and hated Han Zhong, Princess Daning, Wei Yunlan and others.
He comforted himself in his heart and waited for two or three days. Three days at most, when Connecticut found out that he was missing, they would definitely hold Hanzhou accountable.
How can Han Zhong's more than 2,000 men withstand the wrath of Connecticut?
And there is Princess Daning. Although she is a princess of the royal family, the emperor is far away here. Not to mention being a princess, even if she were a princess, it would not be of any use.
When the troops from Connecticut attack, he will tie up all those who humiliated him today and stuff that filthy thing into their mouths one by one.
Return double the suffering he endured today!
…
What a pity.
One day, two days, three days.
Three days have passed, and Kang Jing still hasn't waited for the Kangzhou troops!
And he had been locked up here, without having eaten any rice for three days, and was so hungry that he was seeing stars.
Young master of a noble family, have you ever suffered such injustice?
"Someone come——"
"Someone, come quickly——"
Kang Jing shouted several times, but his voice was weak and no one heard him.
"Damn it, where did everyone go?"
He cursed in his heart, and with the last of his strength, he shouted, "Someone come!"
This time, someone finally pushed the door open from the outside.
It was not the Tang brothers who were in charge of this place as seen before, but another unfamiliar face who looked like an insignificant pawn.
However, being a small person also has its advantages.
Kang Jing's eyes rolled, "I think you know my identity. If you release me and escort me to the border between Kang and Han, I will promise you a thousand taels of gold and a thousand acres of fertile land. Keep your word!"
Not to mention that he was just a small soldier guarding prisoners, even if he was the head of a county, it would be impossible not to be tempted when hearing such conditions.
Kang Jing never thought about the possibility of being rejected. Even if he was rejected, it could only be because the soldier was not brave enough, or the security outside was so tight that the soldier could not send him away.
However, when he finished speaking, the soldier stared at him strangely.
Then he rolled his eyes rudely and turned away.
"Stop." Kang Jing called him and whispered, "If you feel you can't do it, you can find a few more colleagues to join you. I can give them another 500 taels of gold each."
Upon hearing this, the soldier rolled his eyes again.
Kang Jing didn't understand, and the soldier laughed and said disdainfully: "Save some money, you're going to pay a thousand taels of gold, can you afford a thousand taels?"
"Who am I? A mere thousand taels of gold..."
"Bullshit." The soldier interrupted Kang Jing directly, "King You's army won the battle, and Xiliang has surrendered to His Majesty King You. Now the army is heading east and will arrive in Hanzhou soon!"
"Master Kang, the Kang family has already announced that there are no descendants like you who destroy farmland and disregard the lives of the people. You are such an evildoer."
Kang Jing was stunned when he heard this.
The whole person was struck by lightning, his eyes widened, and he asked in disbelief: "What did you say?"
"King You won the battle. Master Kang, you'd better think about how to save your head first!" After saying the last sentence, the soldier strode out and slammed the door.
The room fell into darkness again.
Unlike before, all the emotions in Kang Jing's heart, which was filled with anger, were completely extinguished.
The Northwest Army did not stop King You, but helped him win the battle...
Repel the northern barbarians and pacify Western Liang.
Who in this world can stop King You?
"The situation is over. The situation is over."
At the same time, the Kang-Han border.
The head of the Kang family looked dejected and sighed repeatedly.
The same was true of the Kang family members around him.
One of the elders pointed at the head of the Kang family and glared, "The fundamental reason why aristocratic families survive in the world is not to interfere in government affairs, especially not to participate in the struggle for succession. Only in this way can they survive forever. At the beginning, you wanted to follow the Queen Mother's wishes and do those cruel and ruthless things. I didn't agree, but you insisted on doing it... Now, if the Kang family is destroyed, it will be all your responsibility!"
The head of the Kang family smiled bitterly.
He wanted to explain, but he was no longer able to do so.
In this round, the Kang family lost. They could only ask King You to show mercy and let the Kang family go. They were willing to give up the position of the lord of a state, just to save their family.
With another sigh, the head of the Kang family ordered: "Kangzhou soldiers, station here and wait for King You to settle down."
"The rest of the clan members, follow our clan leader and go west to meet and welcome King You."
…
Hundreds of miles away.
Hanzhou, Qincheng.
Wei Yunlan and his party were already waiting outside the city.
This battle ended faster than expected.
Just as everyone had expected, Xiliang took advantage of Peng Yue's dispatch of troops northward and launched an attack.
However, the Xiliang army did not expect that not only did the 20,000 troops brought by Peng Yue make a surprise attack, but they also brought a total of 35,000 troops from the Northern Garrison Army and King You's army.
The outcome was no surprise. The two armies fought, and with just one man, King You led his troops to recapture the lost cities in the west.
Three days later, the army entered the territory of Xiliang and captured three cities in a row.
The king of Xiliang had no choice but to surrender to King You. In addition to ceding the three captured cities to Dayong, he also signed many treaties with King You, indicating that Xiliang would henceforth submit to Dayong and become a vassal state of Dayong.
Two days ago, the news that King You was leading his troops back east had reached Qin City.
According to the time, we should be able to reach the eastern border of Hanzhou today.
I just waited outside the city for a short time.
In the distance, the sound of horse hooves could be heard.
As the army marched, even the ground trembled slightly.
Outside Qincheng, besides Wei Yunlan and his party, there were countless common people waiting there. The people of Qincheng and nearby villages and towns learned that King You had won a great victory and would be coming soon, so they flocked here before dawn and waited outside the city.
It is early spring now, and the flowers are blooming.
Many people were carrying baskets with freshly picked flowers.
When King You's army finally appeared before their eyes, handfuls of flowers were sprinkled on the road where the army was about to pass.
Everyone couldn't help but cheer loudly.
Celebrate King You’s triumphant return.
Repel the northern barbarians, pacify Xiliang, provide relief to the disaster-stricken areas, and produce new grain.
The former deposed crown prince, now King You, has given the people hope for a peaceful and prosperous era.
Many years later, the late emperor passed away.
Dayong has finally waited for a truly wise ruler!
As the army approached, the heroic man on a black horse at the head of the army caught everyone's attention.
The ministers and the people knelt on the ground to welcome his arrival.
However, the black horse stopped outside the city gate, and the man on it turned over and reached out to support the woman who was standing between Princess Daning and the head of the Han family and was about to kneel down with everyone else.
"Miss Wei, I have accomplished your mission."
"I'm back."
