Chapter 197 Disaster Fifteen
It was late at night, and Chen Xiuping had experienced the daytime things, was physically and mentally exhausted, and was about to change his clothes and sleep, but someone came to the government office and said that Zhao Ji wanted him to go over and discuss the matter of defending the city. There was no way, so Chen Xiuping had to put on his clothes again and took Lao Li to the government office.
Along the way, in addition to the city guards constantly patrolling, there were also some civil organizations gathering. Although the army of Xinsong was not very strong in combat, the folk martial arts style was very popular. In the city, except for the literary style of Jianghuai City, the power of civil martial arts associations in other cities was even greater than that of the county magistrate. In this city, there were a big sword gate, and now there were rebels outside the city, and they also organized people to defend against the rebels.
Chen Xiuping's current popularity in Kaicheng should be well known. No one came to investigate along the way and went to the government office. After entering the government office, Lao Li was guarding outside the room, and the official sent Chen Xiuping in.
As soon as he entered the door, there were three people inside. When Zhao Ji saw Chen Xiuping coming, he hurriedly asked Chen Xiuping to sit down and share the news in his hand. A note read a lot of information, one of which was the most important. Liangzhe Road fell, and the rebels, known as the Heavenly Division, suddenly rose up and spread out from the mainland of Liangzhe Road, and instantly assembled a large army of 500,000. The entire Liangzhe Road was controlled in less than two days.
Chen Xiuping, the Heavenly Master, still knew that he was known as equal to all beings and founded the Heavenly Dao Sect. This man named Tianshi claimed to be the reincarnation of the Jade Emperor, to save the world from the sea of suffering and embrace peace. Several magical things made the Heavenly Master famous. Even some magistrates became believers of this Heavenly Master. They once came to Jianghuai City to preach, but were driven out of Jianghuai City by the King Dao, and even Jiangning Prefecture.
This kind of army founded by faith is very powerful, because those fanatical believers can even die for faith. In addition, some magistrates are his followers, and the Liangzhe Road is directly divided and the army cannot organize a strong counterattack and is directly annexed.
"Now the rebels outside the city are the army of this Tianshi. According to the spies' reward, the surrounding cities were surrounded, but they were all surrounded. Only we have experienced the battle. Now the four of us have to come up with a plan to defend the city. There are nearly 300,000 troops on the front line. If these cities on the river are occupied by the rebels, the way to retreat will be completely blocked. Once trapped in Jiangning Prefecture, the army of the Great Liao Kingdom will attack again, the consequences will be unimaginable."
Zhao Ji pointed to the map and analyzed the situation for the three of them. One of them was Chen Xiuping, the other was Du Luming, the commander of the Shenwu Army, and the other was the leader of the Dadao Sect.
Chen Xiuping remembered that the token that Zhao Ji gave him was still in his hand, and quickly handed it to Zhao Ji. Zhao Ji did not take it back directly, and handed it to Chen Xiuping again. Looking at Chen Xiuping, he said, "The leader of the city guard army, Zhou Ke, was assassinated and killed just now. A rebel Tianshi flag was left on the scene. It was initially judged that it was done by the masters in the rebels. It should be that they wanted to put pressure on us. I know that you are a disciple of the prince, and you should have learned the ability of the prince to lead troops, right?"
Zhao Ji's words kept hinting that Chen Xiuping wanted him to be the leader of the city guarding army. Chen Xiuping was not easy to answer, so he could only answer one: "The teacher has given me some skills to lead troops."
"Okay, that's fine. Now I'll appoint you as the highest commander of Kaicheng, the Shenwu Army, the Dadao Gate, and the city guarding army are all controlled by you. Xiuping. I hope you can learn the abilities of the prince. As long as the army on the front line lasts for three days, it will retreat. At that time, you will be a great achievement."
