Xiang's Farm in Lingshou County.

In the spacious courtyard, the crowd was filled with darkness. The farmers of the past put on armor and picked up weapons. The honest farmer turned into murderous warriors in a blink of an eye. The neighing sound of horses kept coming from the backyard.

The owner of the farmhouse, with white hair and beard, stood on the high stairs, looked at the warrior below, and said sternly: "Today, I will clear the king's side, kill the treacherous and slanderous people, and move forward bravely, and die without life."

"Walking forward bravely, there will be death but no life!" Under the steps, thousands of warriors shouted in a low voice.

"Before you set out, each family will receive a settlement fee of 100 stagnant and a hundred acres of land for raising families. You don't have to pay taxes. This is the grace of the Grand Marshal, and we can only repay it with our lives." Xiang Yuhou said.

The warriors had a decisive meaning on their faces and eyes.

This is money to buy life.

For them, if their lives can be exchanged for these things, it will be worth it. If it were any other time, how could their one be sold for this price?

One hundred stale coins and one hundred acres of land will never be paid taxes. They exchanged their lives for their descendants a family business, which is worth it for everyone here.

Xiang has been sending people to the north for several years, and the candidates selected are extremely sophisticated. They are all people with families and careers in Lingnan. If they dare to make any changes, their families in Lingnan will definitely not end well.

Under the dual guidance of threat and temptation, these people have long since regarded themselves as living people.

Complete tasks and make yourself die more valuable, becoming the only thought of these people.

Xiang Ju is very satisfied with his subordinates' performance.

As for his subordinates, he was the same. This time, no matter whether he succeeded or not, he would definitely be dead. But he was in his early fifties this year. As a branch of Xiang's family, their house had completely declined. This time he decided to use his life to find a way out for his children and grandchildren. When he came, his son had become a housekeeper in the Xiang family compound, and his grandson was also awarded the rank of Zhenwu Captain, which was worth it for him.

I looked up at the sky. It was already noon. I set off now and rushed to Zhenzhouzhou City. It was just the time when night fell.

"Set off!"

More than a thousand warriors jumped onto the war horses, left the farm one by one, and headed towards Zhenzhou.

Although Lingshou is only a county under Zhenzhou, Zhenzhou has always been the most economically developed region in Chengde. Although it was later surpassed by Wuyi, it was second only to Wuyi in the entire north because it had a good foundation. It is now comparable to Cangzhou and Dezhou, which later emerged.

Lingshou is densely populated, and villages and towns are endless. Agriculture, commerce and industry are very developed. There are many merchants and travelers, which also brings great convenience to Xiang's hiding his own manpower.

When this group of all cavalry warriors, who were obviously a little abnormal, marched all the way, horse-riding warriors joined them all the way, and Xiang Yu did not think it was strange at all.

These people were originally planned.

From Lingshou to Zhenzhouzhou City, the number of people in Xiang's ambush reached 2,500. The other five hundred people were ambushed in the city. If the precautions in the city were not more tight and more difficult to hide, they would have ambushed more people in the city.

That is, now the imperial court is launching a large-scale foreign war. All the regular troops stationed in Zhenzhou were transferred to the front line, which gave them an opportunity to take advantage of it. Otherwise, with their little force, if they wanted to do something in Zhenzhou, they would be wiped out as soon as they went out, and even a bubble would not appear.

But now, the Liaodong war has just ended, and the battle to destroy Liang is at a critical moment. Even when Li Ze had to return to Zhenzhou, he could not draw personnel to follow him, but only brought more than a thousand personal soldiers.

Seizing this only opportunity was the result of Xiang's waiting for many years.

Above Lingshou County, an alarm bell suddenly sounded.

Although it is located in the core area and the possibility of being attacked is almost zero, most of the county magistrates in Lingshou County are veterans who have retired from the army. With rich battlefield experience, they realize that something is wrong after seeing this strange force for the first time.

They immediately rang the alarm bell and closed the city gate forcibly regardless of the crowd passing by at the city gate.

The city gate was closed, but Lingshou County only had more than a hundred county soldiers stationed. When the more than a hundred soldiers rushed to the top of the city and looked at the thousands of cavalry gradually approaching in the distance, each of them looked pale.

Lingshou County Magistrate Feng Cheng hurriedly stepped onto the city tower.

His face was as white as all the soldiers.

"Where did the enemy come from?" He was puzzled and turned to look at the county lieutenant beside him.

The county magistrate was hurriedly directing the soldiers to move crossbow machines from the military cave in the city tower, where they had time to deal with Feng Cheng.

As the cavalry approached, a veteran with white hair and beard was particularly eye-catching. Bo, the master who followed Feng Cheng to the city tower, suddenly screamed, "It's Xiang Ju, Xiang Ju of Xiang's Farm. I saw him last time when I went to Xiang's Farm with the tax collector."

The Lord Bo's face was incredible. Xiang Ju smiled and bowed down at that time, and tried to bribe him and the tax collectors who went there. He was the head of a typical wealthy family. At this moment, this man was stalking his sword and his hair was flying, and his majestic, which was completely different from that time.

"Xiang is ordered by the emperor to clear the emperor's side, kill the treacherous and slandered, and Lingshou is the best. Why not quickly rectify the young and strong? Go to Zhenzhou with me and make great contributions to the great family and glorify the ancestors!" Xiang Ju shouted loudly under the city.

Everyone on the city looked at each other, but they couldn't say anything for a moment.

Is this to clear the side of that door?

However, the county lieutenant who finally moved the two crossbows from the hidden soldiers to the top of the city came to his senses. When he heard this, he was furious, but the crossbow was still tensely rolling the strings and could not be used. The county lieutenant snatched a crossbow from a soldier beside him, raised his hand and shot towards the throne.

"The traitor must not die well!"

However, the distance between the stern and the arrow was still more than a meter away from him, so he was unable to fall to the ground.

The city laughed loudly and drove his horse away from Lingshou County.

He had no intention of attacking Lingshou County. Although if he had fought now, he would definitely go down in one go, what's the point of taking down this county? It's time to waste for nothing.

Seeing the two thousand cavalry roaring away, Feng Cheng and others reacted.

"Xiang's rebellion, they went to Zhenzhou City!" Feng Cheng said tremblingly: "The Supreme Emperor died. Today is when Li Xiang arrives in Zhenzhou. They are going to attack Li Xiang."

"There are not many soldiers and horses in Zhenzhou!" Some other officials also understood.

Feng Cheng's hands and feet trembled, and it was over. Under his rule, Xiang's family actually hid so many cavalry. No matter whether they could succeed this time, their career was completely over. Afterwards, they were not classified as the remnants of the Xiang family, but they were afraid they would be thankful.

As soon as he thought of this, Feng Cheng was really disappointed and sad. He wanted to graduate from Wuwei Academy, take up his post with ambitious work, work diligently, and not wanting to be involved in such an inexplicable incident without fulfilling his ambitions. His future is dark, what else can I say?

"Gather all soldiers, yamen runners, and constables to recruit all young and strong people in the county, open the arsenal, and distribute weapons!" Feng Cheng said with a hiss.

"Fengxianzun, do you really want to surrender to the enemy?" The county magistrate choked and pulled out half of the knife.

With a snap, Feng Cheng, who was angry, suddenly slaps over and slaps: "You are crazy, gather all the people we can gather, let's rescue Zhenzhou and attack Xiang's tail army!"

"They are all cavalrymen, are we following behind our butts and eating dust?" The county magistrate who was bald and said unconvincedly. "Even if they catch up, they will be slaughtered."

"No matter whether you can chase or not, or fight or not, you have to go!" Feng Cheng sighed in a pity. At this moment, he really wanted to be slaughtered by Xiang Jiyidao, but he had to end it all and lose all these worries. "All those who eat official food have to bring me weapons and follow me to rescue Zhenzhou."

Lingshou Feng Cheng collected young and strong men in Lingshou County like a madman. Lingshou County was crowded with people, and there were a lot of young and strong men. When he heard that someone was going to assassinate Li Xiang, the entire county town was suddenly infuriated. In a blink of an eye, the crowd was crowded with people in front of the county arsenal. Each person had a knife, a spear, or a crossbow machine. The people who had experience in the army stood up without hesitation and began to organize the team. After half an hour, Feng Cheng actually assembled three thousand strong men and followed the throne.

At the same time, he sent his subordinates to send messages to all villages and towns. Among these villages and towns, there were many organized militias. When the sun was about to set, the team actually exceeded 5,000 people. And with the joining of well-trained militia teams and increasing number of veterans, the team actually had some atmosphere along the way.

At this time, Feng Cheng was much more awake, and immediately sent some subordinates with good riding skills to send out warning messages to several surrounding counties, asking the other party to immediately rectify the militia team and gather in Zhenzhou. As for whether the other party believed it or not, he was completely unwilling to care at this moment.

Xiang Ju didn't know what was happening behind him, and even if he knew it, he didn't care. At this moment, he was just running towards Zhenzhou City with all his heart.

According to the plan, after arriving in Zhenzhou City, the people lurking in the city should have already controlled the Xicheng Gate. They just need to go straight into the city.
