Among the three, Li Lu, ranked second, has the most composed personality, with a steady look in his eyes. Li Hu, the eldest brother, is the most hot-tempered of the three, with a burly physique and bulging muscles, as if he could unleash amazing fighting power at any moment. Li Yang, the last one, is relatively gentle, but the ruthlessness hidden beneath his gentle appearance is no less than that of his two older brothers.
At this moment, Li Hu could no longer contain his curiosity, and his rough voice rang out in the group.
As Li Hu walked, he scratched his head, his face full of confusion.
He has always been impatient and can't keep things to himself; he can't help but ask questions whenever he has doubts.
"Young Commander, wasn't Ruizhou recaptured by the Great Qian Dynasty a while ago?"
"Why have we encountered so few garrison troops along the way? It's practically an empty city. What is the Great Qian Dynasty up to?"
The "Young Commander" he mentioned was the young man marching at the very front of the procession.
Although young, this man possessed an extraordinary air about him. His brows revealed a heroic spirit, and his eyes were sharp. He was none other than Zhu Di, the son of Zhu Yuanzhang, who was the leader of the Great Xuan Yellow Turban Army, another Yellow Turban Army in the Taiping Sect besides Meng Zhang.
At this moment, Zhu Di was dressed in a yellow robe with a long sword at his waist, looking dashing and heroic. He glanced at Li Hu, a hint of helplessness flashing in his eyes.
"General Li Hu, you may not know this, but the Great Qian Dynasty is now engulfed in war and beset by internal and external troubles."
"First, the Yellow Turban Rebellion swept across the land, and then the Night King of the Northern Frontier and the Flame King of the Western Flame State successively rebelled, and the foundation of the Great Qian Dynasty had long been shaken."
He slowly turned around and looked at Li Hu, his tone carrying a hint of helplessness, yet also full of profound meaning.
"The main force of the Great Qian Dynasty is currently tied down in various places to deal with these endless crises. Although Ruizhou is strategically important, in the eyes of the Great Qian Dynasty, it is probably just one corner of many battlefields."
"The current Great Qian Dynasty is busy putting out fires everywhere and has no time to attend to this place, let alone send heavy troops to guard it."
At this point, a cold glint flashed in Zhu Di's eyes as he continued.
"So that's how it is. The Great Qian Dynasty was distracted by one thing and neglected another, giving us an opportunity!"
"Young Commander, what are we waiting for? Let's strike while the iron is hot and take Ruizhou as a springboard for our Great Xuan Yellow Turban Army to march north again!"
Upon hearing this, Li Hu suddenly realized what was going on, slapped his forehead, and laughed.
"I am well aware of General Li Hu's bravery, but although Ruizhou is currently empty, we cannot let our guard down."
"Although the main force of the Great Qian Dynasty is tied down, there may still be remnants of its forces here, or reinforcements may arrive at any time."
"What we need to do is to proceed steadily and take Ruizhou at the lowest possible cost."
Upon hearing this, Zhu Di smiled slightly, a hint of fervor flashing in his eyes, and then gently shook his head.
"Commander Shao is absolutely right. We cannot underestimate our enemy, and after taking Ruizhou, we will face even more challenges."
"The Great Qian Dynasty will not sit idly by and watch us grow stronger. They will most likely send troops to besiege us. Moreover, the Longxiang Commander-in-Chief, who is located on the border of Ruizhou, will not stand by and watch Ruizhou fall into our hands. He will probably also get involved."
Li Lu, the most composed of the three brothers, chimed in at this moment.
Zhu Di nodded, staring blankly into the distance. As Zhu Yuanzhang's son, he had Zhu Biao above him, overshadowing all his brothers.
To be honest, Zhu Di was under a lot of pressure. The only thing that made him feel somewhat relieved was that Zhu Biao was not interested in leading troops into battle, but instead focused on helping Zhu Yuanzhang handle various affairs within the Yellow Turban Rebellion.
This gave him the opportunity to lead an army out to fight on his own. Therefore, Zhu Di was under great pressure and was eager to achieve something to show Zhu Yuanzhang that he was no less capable than Zhu Biao.
Now, the Great Qian Dynasty is in turmoil, which is the perfect opportunity for Zhu Di to rise to power!
"If we do not seize this opportunity presented by Heaven, we will suffer the consequences! The main force of the Great Qian Dynasty is currently tied down and cannot attend to this land of Ruizhou. This is a golden opportunity bestowed upon us by Heaven."
"We should take it, and carve out a new world for the Taiping Sect and for our Great Xuan Yellow Turban Army!"
Zhu Di's voice grew increasingly excited, as if it could pierce through the clouds and reach the heavens.
Upon hearing this, the three brothers, Li Hu, Li Lu, and Li Yang, also showed a hint of excitement in their eyes.
To be honest, the three of them aren't doing too well these days. They were previously outnumbered and completely dominated by one opponent in a three-on-one situation.
Later, he even ran head-on into Li Yuanba and was almost killed by Li Yuanba's hammer.
This resulted in the three of them being repeatedly defeated by the opposing generals on the battlefield, losing all face.
The group continued onward, and the horizon of Ruizhou was beginning to appear.
Zhu Di stood at the front of the army, looking at the distant city of Ruizhou. A strong premonition welled up in his heart that this battle would be a major turning point in his life!
...
Just as Zhu Di was full of ambition, his heart burning with the flames of war, determined to lead his Great Xuan Yellow Turban Army to make great strides in Ruizhou and write his own glorious chapter.
However, within Ruizhou, another force was also stirring up trouble, eyeing the chaotic situation of the Great Qian Dynasty with covetous intent, poised to strike.
This force is none other than the Zhao family, a newly rising power in Ruizhou!
Although the Zhao family is not a prominent clan, it has been rising to prominence in recent years. The clan leader, Zhao Yong, is a man of great talent and ambition. He has unique vision and an iron fist. In this chaotic world, he managed to defeat the Yellow Turban Army in the Great Qian Dynasty and then brought the Zhao family to the top of Ruizhou!
And this patriarch of the Zhao family, Zhao Yong, was also the powerful ruler of the Zhao state during the Spring and Autumn Period, King Wuling of Zhao, who was brought out earlier!
Historically, he advocated wearing nomadic clothing and practicing archery on horseback, and trained cavalry in the northern part of the Zhao state, bordering nomadic tribes, which changed the way of fighting in the Warring States period. Therefore, some people believe that he was the ancestor of Chinese cavalry.
Subsequently, he adopted a strategy of allying with Qin, Chu, and Song to contain Qi, Wei, and Han, and took advantage of the chaos among the states to launch a continuous attack on Zhongshan, eventually destroying it completely.
During this period, he toured the northern frontier, subdued the Linhu and Loufan tribes, opened up the three prefectures of Yunzhong, Yanmen, and Dai, built the "Zhao Great Wall" at the foot of Yinshan Mountain, expanded the territory by thousands of miles, greatly boosted the national strength of Zhao, and made it a powerful country on par with Qi and Qin.
Unfortunately, Zhao Yong later abdicated the throne to his second son, Zhao He, who then took charge of state affairs, while Zhao Yong focused on military matters and was known as "Lord Father".
However, his act of passing the throne to his eldest son Zhao Zhang sparked a conflict between his faction and Zhao He's faction.
This ultimately led to the Sand Dune Rebellion, during which Zhao Yong was besieged for more than three months and eventually starved to death in the palace. He was posthumously honored as "Wuling".
