Chapter 5 The day when the empress returns to the capital, she will abdicate from the throne!

The carriages and horses moved forward, Qin Ze was at the forefront of the team, and soon they arrived at the city gate.

After handing in the customs clearance documents, Qin Ze led the motorcade out of the capital. When leaving, he looked back towards the capital.

"The day you return to the capital will be the day you abdicate from the throne!"

Muttering to himself, Qin Ze walked out of the city gate with a cold expression.

A team of thousands of people came out of the city gate in a mighty manner. Qin Ze rode a horse in front. Looking around, he saw groups of civilians gathering along the road.

Although these people were simply dressed, their faces were solemn. They were either running or riding horses, following closely behind them.

Qin Ze's eyes narrowed and he could clearly see that these people had weapons hidden on their bodies.

These are not civilians, but soldiers!

At this moment, a man came on horseback and saluted Qin Ze from a distance.

Qin Ze's eyes narrowed and he hurriedly rode towards him.

Riding on the horse was a seven-foot tall man. When he saw Qin Ze, he immediately jumped off the horse and knelt down on one knee to salute.

His clothes were ragged, his temples were slightly white, and there were several scars on his Chinese-character face, but his eyes were filled with tears.

This is a battle-hardened veteran!

"General! We...we are here to see you off!"

Qin Ze hurriedly dismounted and helped him up.

"General Zhao, please get up!"

This seven-foot tall man is none other than his father's old general, Zhonglang General Zhao Zhennan.

Seeing the former veteran now in ragged clothes, Qin Ze could no longer suppress his emotions, as if there was a stone in his throat.

He took a deep breath and then said:

"General Zhao, why are you here?"

Zhao Zhennan looked at Qin Ze with tears in his eyes and said tremblingly:

"The imperial court thought that we were old and belonged to Chi Yan's old army, so they expelled us from the army, so we became refugees."

"General, we are going to Beiliang, a thousand miles away. The general only has 800 soldiers. How can they protect you?"

"Although our Red Flame Army has withered, we old guys still have a breath of life left!"

"Let us escort you to Beiliang this way! When you enter Beiliang, we will return the same way. If we follow you into Beiliang, the court will definitely be suspicious."

After saying this, Qin Ze was filled with emotions. He looked around at the veterans on the roadside. They all stood upright and looked at Qin Ze from a distance. Although they were not young, they all looked determined.

Seeing these veterans now, he understood that this was their intention.

For them, this is their last resort.

"Okay! I'll bother General Zhao then!"

Zhao Zhennan puffed up his chest, nodded heavily, and rode away.

Qin Ze got on his horse and set out on the road again.

Qin Ze knew that setting foot in Beiliang was the best time to use his points to train his troops, so he did not dare to delay along the way and marched in a hurry every day.

In this way, ten days passed before the group arrived at the Beiliang Pass.

Looking around, there is yellow sand all over the ground, strong winds are sweeping across the ground, and a pass stands in front of us.

Qin Ze withdrew his gaze, his thoughts moved slightly, and he looked at the system light screen in his mind.

In ten days, a total of 86400 points were earned every day, and now the points have accumulated to more than 80.

Although 1 point can be exchanged for 1 population, population alone is not enough. Corresponding weapons, armor and martial arts are needed to form an army.

But more than 800,000 points are enough to form an army of ten thousand people!

This made Qin Ze more confident, and all he had to do next was to make reasonable use of these points.

With soldiers and horses in hand, what needs to be done will be much simpler after arriving at the station.

When they arrived at the pass, Zhao Zhennan rode a horse from a distance.

When he arrived in front of Qin Ze, he got off his horse, bowed and said:

"General, after passing this pass, the front is the territory of Beiliang. We can only send the general here."

After ten days of running around, the veteran's face became more and more vicissitudes of life, and he also had some wounds on his body.

Qin Ze did not encounter any bandits along the way, but he knew that it was all because these veterans had eliminated the bandits early.

Looking up at the Beiliang Pass, Qin Ze thought to himself: "Beiliang, I, Qin Ze, am finally here!"

Turning to look at Zhao Zhennan, Qin Ze was moved, bowed and cupped his hands towards Zhao Zhennan and said:

"General Zhao, thank you very much for this journey!"

Zhao Zhennan hurriedly stepped forward to support Qin Ze.

"General, you go in, we...it's time for us to return home." Zhao Zhennan said reluctantly.

Seeing the sad look on the veteran's face, Qin Ze stepped forward, whispered in his ear, then got on his horse and led the people into the pass.

The strong wind swept across and blew Zhao Zhennan's white hair away. He stayed in place in a daze, thinking about what Qin Ze had just said. He didn't come back to his senses until he saw Qin Ze enter the pass.

He got on his horse, and his original expression of sadness was replaced by excitement and excitement.

"But when the clouds open and the moon shines, listen to the thunder of the tiger!"

Zhao Zhennan laughed loudly and rode back on his horse...

........

Qin Ze rode his horse and whipped his whip and led people to the city gate.

At the gate of the city, there was already a group of people waiting here, headed by the commander of the army, Zhao Yuan.

Seeing Qin Ze, he narrowed his eyes slightly and thought in his heart:

The imperial court was not happy with the Qin family, and canonizing Beiliang was tantamount to exile. General Zhenguo sent a secret order, and the letter stated that Qin Ze would be removed from Beiliang.

If you do it yourself, even if you kill him, I'm afraid that you will become cannon fodder for the court, but... there are other ways to get rid of him.

He pursed his lips and led a group of soldiers forward.

"The last general, Zhao Yuan, respectfully welcomes the King of Zhenbei to Beiliang!"

Qin Ze looked up and down and said calmly: "General Zhao, there is no need to be polite."

Zhao Yuan stood up and said with a smile: "The general has just arrived in Beiliang. His subordinates have already prepared a station for the general. It is still early, so I will take the general there."

"Lead the way."

After the words fell, Zhao Yuan led Qin Ze into the pass on horseback.

Driving in a hurry, Qin Ze saw along the road that the soil was barren and there were very few weeds on the loess. In addition, there were high mountains and ridges everywhere. In this way, it was not until the sun was about to set that he arrived at his destination.

Looking at the city in front of him, Zhao Yuan smiled and said:

"General, this place is called Jubeichuan, and this city is called Shifeng City. There are many mountains in Jubeichuan, with hundreds of miles of plains in the middle, and the Qingshui River runs through it. Shifeng City is blocked by mountains, and there is only one way in and out. It is A dangerous place.”

"I saw that the general did not have many soldiers and horses. It was a perfect place to recruit people to train soldiers and horses, so I brought the general here specially."

Listening to Zhao Yuan's words, Qin Ze sneered in his heart. He had been optimistic about the terrain along the way.

What Zhao Yuan said is half true and half false. On the surface, Jubeichuan is indeed a dangerous place, but from the looks of it, the land is barren, and there are very few cultivated fields. In addition, the gates of Shifeng City are It was dilapidated and revealed a sense of desolation.

From all indications, there must be very little food here, and there is no surplus food supply to serve as military rations. If they forcefully collect food, the farmers in these bitter cold areas are by nature tough, and they may not want to provoke a civil uprising.

In addition, there are many mountains, so there must be bandits who occupy the mountains and become kings. This Zhao Yuan is really good at planning and wants to trap me here.

But unfortunately, his wishful thinking was about to come to nothing.

Even if Zhao Yuan had exhausted all his mechanisms, he would not have thought that he had a system in hand.

Points can be exchanged for food and population. Jubeichuan is the best place for me!

It is surrounded by mountains and rivers, and the mountains are naturally dangerous. There is only one way in and out.

Relying on this unique geographical advantage, as long as all the bandits in Jubeichuan are captured, an intelligence network is laid down, and Jubeichuan is built into an iron wall, the court will not be able to find out what it is doing.

Thinking of this, Qin Ze looked at Zhao Yuandao: "Okay, General Zhao has indeed chosen a good place."

Zhao Yuan nodded, but smiled secretly in his heart.

There are no soldiers and no food. When the time comes, you come and beg me for food. See if I will give it to you!

In addition, there are quite a lot of bandits in Beichuan. How can you resist these 800 soldiers?

Within a month, he was so hungry that he was dizzy and died at the hands of bandits!

Zhao Yuan had a calm expression on his face, cupped his hands and said with a smile: "Okay, as long as the general is satisfied, it's getting late, and I should go back to handle military affairs!"

After the words fell, Zhao Yuan led the people away.

Qin Ze looked at Zhao Yuan's leaving figure, pursed his lips slightly, and murmured in a low voice:

"It's time to form an army!"
