Chapter 871: Traitor Liang Cheng
"Great Khan! The high priest is dead!"
"Great Khan, our brothers can't hold on any longer!"
"Hurry up and order the troops to withdraw, Khan!"
""
News came back one after another, but every piece of news was bad.
The Khan of the Jun tribe sat dejectedly on the low couch, "Is it really God's will to destroy our Jun tribe?"
Even the high priest is dead, the army must be demoralized and will soon be in complete collapse.
Rong Shaomin was also panicked, but she suddenly thought of Sheng Zhan and immediately said, "Brother, we can't admit defeat yet!"
"The Emperor of Great Jin no longer trusts Liang Cheng, and the other prefectures of Great Jin are isolated thousands of miles away by the six northwestern prefectures controlled by Prince Zhao. As long as we are patient and conserve our strength, this land of northern Hubei will be ours sooner or later!"
Rong Shaomin's words cheered up the Khan of the Jun tribe. He was used to relying on himself for everything and had just forgotten about the civil strife in the Great Jin. After hearing Rong Shaomin's words, he immediately gave orders to the people around him.
"Pass on my royal decree, everyone retreat immediately!"
The Jun people wanted to escape, but Liang Cheng would definitely not allow it, and the pursuit was extremely brutal.
Of course, the ones who suffered the most were the Jun people.
Unfortunately, the Khan of the Jun tribe underestimated the speed of information transmission of the Hubei Northern Army. Just a quarter of an hour after Liang Cheng and others pursued the Jun tribe army, the news of the attack on Yongshan County reached Liang Cheng.
"Isn't it true that only the army from Yunzhou can come to Yongshan County?" Niu Manzi roared in his rough voice.
He didn't need to say much. When Liang Cheng saw the message, he and Sheng Ze looked at each other. They both knew very well that the time had come.
After a moment of silence, Sheng Ze said to Liang Cheng, "Uncle Cheng, please go back to defend."
As for the Jun tribe, they have a long way to go.
Now that Sheng Zhan has shamelessly attacked them directly, it means that they will have to fight a tough battle with the imperial court from now on.
Niu Manzi was too thick-skinned to notice that Sheng Ze had changed the way he addressed Liang Cheng. Tan Cheng and the others beside him, on the other hand, looked at Sheng Ze in surprise.
What is Cheng San doing? There is no father-son relationship in the army. This is during the war. How can he address the general like this?
As a result, these people saw Liang Cheng suddenly kneeling on one knee in front of Sheng Ze, "I obey your command!"
Everyone: ""
Everyone looked at each other, what was going on?
Yongshan County is a border county west of Ezhou. To the west is a land of jungles, swamps, and high mountains stretching for thousands of miles. Across these thousands of miles is Yunzhou, one of the most prosperous prefectures of Dajin.
At this time, Li Junyi was sitting in the central military tent of the imperial army.
Of course, the commander-in-chief was not Li Junyi, but he was given the responsibility of commanding the army by Sheng Zhan.
"General Jing, the emperor means to quickly capture Yongshan County, and then use it as a base to quickly take Ezhou back to the court and capture the rebel Liang Cheng alive. But from what I see, General Jing seems to be a little reluctant to fight." Li Junyi looked at the mighty General Jing He with a dignified attitude.
This mighty general was just an official title, the third rank, and in fact Jinghe was only a fifth rank military officer.
Sheng Zhan put a false accusation on Liang Cheng's head and mobilized all officials in the court to attack Liang Cheng, but no one was willing to lead the troops to fight.
In the end, he was so angry that he randomly appointed a few people to be in charge of this battle, and Jinghe was the main general.
"Lord Li has misunderstood," Jing He said solemnly. "Ezhou is an area Liang Cheng has been managing for ten years. If we attack rashly, the people of Ezhou will naturally fight to the death. Therefore, I suggest that you have your men take turns shouting to Yongshan County, making sure the people of Ezhou know that Liang Cheng is a traitor. This will make it easier to capture Ezhou."
