Whoosh.
The water of the Wu River churned again, and mist rose from the surface of the river.
Looking through the fog, he saw a red light flashing in the fog.
After the fog dissipated, the square-shaped army appeared in front of Cao Yun.
The soldiers were all wearing scarlet armor, and they all had cold faces and eyes.
The spears in their hands shone with a snow-white light. All of this showed how elite this army was.
Whoosh.
Cao Yun's Dark Stallion let out a long howl. The warhorse's roar echoed across the surface of the Wu River, causing ripples on the calm surface of the river.
"Greetings, Lord!"
The eight thousand soldiers of the Wu River half-knelt down in unison with a heaven-shaking shout.
His sonorous voice pierced people's eardrums.
The sound of the armor clashing against each other made the fire in Cao Yun's heart burn, and it became more and more vigorous.
"I didn't expect to get so many benefits by signing in at Wu River.”
Cao Yun looked at the 8,000 soldiers of the Wu River and sighed with emotion.
Apart from the army, he had also inherited the Overlord's power and everything that belonged to the Overlord Xiangyu. This benefit was not small.
"If I sign in at Luoyang or Guanzhong, what kind of reward will I receive?”
At this moment, Cao Yun could not help but become somewhat expectant.
However, now was not the time to think about this. It was time to do something. After all, Cao Yun already had his own army.
Based on the original owner's memory, Cao Yun knew that he was currently in Wu Jiang County.
Wujiang County was also part of Liyang County, which was near Jiangdu.
"Liyang County."
Cao Yun narrowed his eyes.
Liyang County was a good place. Apart from the fact that it was easy to defend and difficult to attack due to the terrain, it was also because this place could be used to fight everywhere.
Coupled with the distance, Liyang County could even threaten Jiangdu.
From these aspects, it was not difficult to know the location of Liyang County.
"We will first occupy Liyang County and wipe out the other forces in the Huai River region. We will become the largest rebel army in the Huai River region.”
The corners of Cao Yun's mouth curled up slightly. This was the plan he had come up with after thinking for a while.
The Huai River area was rich in resources. If they occupied this area, it would be a blessing to Liyang County, which could attack and defend.
It could even be said that it was the best choice to raise an army. After concluding these reasons, what else could Cao Yun not be tempted by?
After taking down the Huai River area, they could even attack Jiangdu through Liyang County.
Whether it was supplies or equipment, Jiang Du was relatively rich. Moreover, it was said that the beauties of the world gathered here. There were many beauties in Jiang Du.
According to the memories of the original owner, it seemed that Yang Ruyi, the princess of the Great Sui Dynasty, was also in Jiang Du.
"Attack Wu Jiang County first."
Cao Yun stopped thinking.
After all, they could not take down Jiang Du at this stage. They had to take down the Huai River area first and accumulate strength before they could do it in the future.
"Understood!"
The 8,000 soldiers all shouted when they heard Cao Yun's order.
The army quickly changed direction. Cao Yun, who was riding on a Dark Stallion with the Overlord Halberd in his hand, led the 8,000-strong elite army towards Wu Jiang County.
Taking down Wu Jiang County was almost an instant matter. After all, this was only a small county. How many troops could there be to guard it?
......
Liyang County Governor's Office.
"Now that the rebel army is in turmoil in Liyang County, many people have been affected and are suffering from hunger. It is time to open the granary to help the people!”
A youth in armor was flushed with anger.
The person who made him angry was the Liyang County Governor, Wang He.
The youth was none other than Hou Junji, the commandant of the Sui army stationed in Liyang County. Although he was not ranked among the heroes of the Sui and Tang Dynasties, his military talent was still quite good, and he was still competent for the position of commandant.
Hou Junji saw that countless citizens of Liyang County were suffering from hunger, and many of them had starved to death on the streets, so he planned to ask the county governor to open the granary to help the people.
However, Wang He bluntly refused. The army also needed food. If they gave food to the people, what would the army and the officials of the imperial court eat?
Hou Junji was furious. Even opening up the granary would not affect the army's supplies. Wang He clearly did not want to use food to help the refugees.
"Hou Junji, I order you to stop talking. Opening the granary is impossible.”
Wang He wasn't in the mood to argue with Hou Junji, so he angrily rebuked.
Hou Junji was furious, but he didn't continue.
He was also from the bottom, so he could naturally understand the situation of refugees and civilians without food.
However, Wang He treated the lives of the people like grass. This behavior made him extremely angry. Was this what the officials who provided for the people of the Great Sui Dynasty did?
Hou Junji had clearly remembered the look in Wang He's eyes when he had denied opening the granary. There had been a hint of indifference and even contempt in his eyes!
"Report!"
Not long after the two quarreled, a voice suddenly came from outside.
Immediately after, he saw a disheveled soldier hurriedly walk in.
"County Governor, Wu Jiang County has been occupied by bandits!”
The soldier shouted.
Wang He, who had been indifferent just a moment ago, quickly changed his expression when he heard this.
"This group of thieves are so bold?”
Wang He's voice was sharp.
Even though there had been an endless stream of rebel armies in recent days, none of them had truly attacked the county town of Liyang County. Who would have thought that such a person would suddenly appear?
However, Wang He quickly calmed down. They were just rebels formed by the common people. There were 10,000 Sui soldiers stationed in Liyang County.
However, they had received formal training and were naturally much stronger than ordinary rebel soldiers. It was more than enough to deal with the rebel soldiers.
"How many rebels are there?"
Wang He asked in a deep voice.
"Lord County Governor, I estimate that there are about 7,000 people.”
The soldier thought for a moment and replied.
"Hou Junji, I order you to lead an army of five thousand to suppress them.”
Wang He gave the order without thinking.
The 5,000 soldiers of the Great Sui Dynasty were more than enough to deal with the 7,000 ordinary rebel soldiers. There was no need to send more soldiers with great fanfare.
Hou Junji inwardly sneered. If Wang He hadn't insisted on not opening the granary, forcing the commoners into a corner, how could there have been rebels?
Even so, Hou Junji still decided to make the trip.
After all, if other people went, those people who rebelled because of hunger might be killed by the Great Sui army, causing many people to die in battle.
If he went alone, he might be able to persuade some of the rebels to surrender and avoid bloodshed.
"Understood."
Hou Junji clasped his hands and accepted the order. He then began to gather his forces and head for Wujiang County.
