    Jiangbei went to the capital, and teams of armored soldiers stood everywhere, and bundles of arrow clusters were also urgently moved to the city.

    The city was completely devoid of the bustling scenes of the past, and occasionally a cavalry with a hurried look passed by on horseback, and there was a chilling atmosphere in the air.

    The 20th Corps of the People's Army suffered a disastrous defeat on the front line. The cavalry of the Qinghe Army swept across the four prefectures and fourteen counties in the eastern part of the province like a broken bamboo.

    Facing the rapidly deteriorating situation, Xu Zhenxiong, governor of Jiangbei Province, also lost his hair overnight and was exhausted.

    Provincial Governor Xu Zhenxiong scratched his head and never imagined that the 200,000 troops led by the strong cavalry general Qin Feng were completely annihilated.

    Fortunately, he was still secretly communicating with King Ning in Luyang Province, trying to secretly clamp down on the increasingly powerful Xiaoqi General Qin Feng to ensure his position as governor.

    The Qinghe army marched furiously with the power of great victory, and urgent documents from all over the country poured into the Governor's Mansion like snowflakes.

    Facing the mountain of emergency documents, Governor Xu Zhenxiong had an expanded 60,000 provincial garrison troops, but he dared not send them out.

    After all, the 200,000 civilian army with strong soldiers and horses was defeated miserably by the Qinghe army. His newly recruited soldiers may not be enough for the Qinghe army to fill their teeth.

    Provincial governor Xu Zhenxiong still has self-knowledge, so in the face of emergency documents from all over the country, he can only shelve them and let them seek their own blessings.

    The Qinghe army swept across the prefectures and counties unstoppably, and the provincial capital was also in jeopardy. Governor Xu Zhenxiong concentrated all the troops he could mobilize to the provincial capital, trying to hold on to this important city.

    If other prefectures and counties are lost, they can be recovered one by one at that time, it doesn't matter.

    However, if the provincial capital is lost, the impact will be bad, and he may be the governor to the end.

    Governor Xu Zhenxiong of the province urgently strengthened the city defense of the provincial capital on the one hand, and on the other hand sent messengers for help to all over the place.

    Governor Xu Zhenxiong has always regarded Jiangbei Province as his sphere of influence and does not want others to get involved.

    When Xiaoqi General Qin Feng threatened his position as governor, he was also active in secret, trying to bring down Qin Feng.

    But before he could overthrow Qin Feng, Qin Feng had already been defeated and died, which saved him a lot of trouble.

    Although Qin Feng's threat to the Governor's position is gone, he now faces a more difficult problem, that is, the Qinghe Army.

    After all, the fighting power of the Qinghe Army is stronger and more decisive. Now he is not only threatened by the position of governor, but also his life is in danger.

    Now facing the menacing Qinghe army, his heart is also full of fear.

    In order to stop the Qinghe army and keep his position and life as the governor of the province, he also had to make some compromises and sacrifices.

    After discussing with the supervisors of Jiangbei Province and other officials, they decided to invite King Ning, who was stationed in the neighboring Luyang Province, to send troops to rescue.

    Although Governor Xu Zhenxiong knew that King Ning was not a good deal, but now that he has lost contact with the capital, he can no longer count on reinforcements from the imperial court.

    Moreover, the long-distance water cannot quench the near-thirst. Even if the imperial court sends reinforcements, it is unknown what year and month it will be, so now he can only count on the equally ambitious King Ning.

    In return for King Ning's dispatch of troops, they will not only provide supplies to King Ning's troops who entered Jiangbei province, but also give them millions of military pay as a reward.

    King Ning also led his troops to occupy the adjacent Luyang Province in the name of suppressing thieves. After several months of digestion, he has basically controlled the entire Luyang Province.

    At the beginning, King Ning and the others entered Luyang Province together with several soldiers and horses, but King Ning wanted to monopolize the results of the battle. After a series of dark and bloody methods, he has annexed several other troops.

    King Ning annexed the Liu Family Army and the 15th Corps of the Civilian Army, and integrated them into a unified mighty army, which now has 200,000 soldiers.

    Especially when the 20th Corps of the People's Army in Jiangbei Province went to conquer the Qinghe Army, King Ning had successively mobilized many troops to gather at the border area between the two provinces.

    At the beginning, King Ning's idea was very simple, that is, after the Qinghe Army and Qin Feng's 20th Corps fought to the death, he would take action to occupy Jiangbei Province and be the last fisherman.

    However, the development of the situation exceeded his expectations. The 20th Corps of the People's Army was wiped out, and the Qinghe Army swept across several counties in the eastern part of Jiangbei Province with lightning speed, so that King Ning did not react.

    ? Once the Qinghe Army occupies Jiangbei Province, QingheThe strength of the army will increase greatly by then, posing a greater threat to them.

    What's more, King Ning has already regarded the Jiangbei province as the meat of his mouth, how can he let the Qinghe army take it away.

    So when the messenger from Xu Zhenxiong, Governor of Jiangbei Province, was still on his way, the impatient King Ning's mighty army had already crossed the border and entered the territory of Jiangbei Province.

    As the vanguard of King Ning's mighty army, heir son Long Jun personally led the newly formed 5,000 cavalry and 30,000 infantry, and was the first to cross the border into Jiangbei Province.

    The several towns near the provincial border were guarded by the provincial garrison, and they were defenseless in the face of the sudden mighty army.

    Although the vanguard of the mighty army led by Long Jun was under the banner of entering Jiangbei Province to suppress bandits, they did not have official documents.

    The garrison officers of the two towns near the border did not receive orders from their superiors, so naturally they did not dare to open the city and let the mighty army pass through.

    "Attack!"

    Prince Ning's son, Long Jun, was ordered to seize more territory as quickly as possible, and directly ordered to attack in the face of obstacles in the way ahead, regardless of whether the opponent was also an army belonging to the imperial court.

    The mighty army under King Ning's command is all field troops, how can the weak local garrison in Jiangbei province be able to resist it.

    The menacing mighty army successively broke through several towns in Jiangbei Province, slaughtered tens of thousands of people, and the fierce flames frightened the officials everywhere to flee and surrender, causing chaos.

    The messenger sent by Xu Zhenxiong, Governor of Jiangbei Province, had just walked halfway when he heard that the mighty army led by Long Jun had captured several important towns in the northwest of the province.

    After the messenger returned to the provincial capital in a hurry, he informed Governor Xu Zhenxiong of the fact that the mighty army had invaded the territory of Jiangbei Province and that they had burned, killed and looted.

    "They are taking advantage of the fire!"

    Governor Xu Zhenxiong originally wanted to ask King Ning for help, hoping that they could send troops into the country to stop the Qinghe army.

    But who knew that the troops under King Ning had entered their province first and started to attack the city.

    ? The Qinghe army was in full swing from east to west, and the mighty army led by Prince Ning's son Long Jun attacked from northwest to southeast. The Jiangbei province was suddenly full of wars and smoke, and the people were devastated.

    Xu Zhenxiong, the Governor of Jiangbei Province, also felt deeply powerless while angrily denouncing King Ning's mighty army.

    Because the 20th Corps, the strongest in Jiangbei Province, was wiped out, they had no support, and naturally became the targets of bullying.  (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
