The sky was clear, with layers of white clouds arranged in rows like scales, as if they were the scales of a giant dragon, or a ladder to heaven.

The breeze is blowing, this is a season that is neither cold nor hot. For Tingzhou people, the most suitable time is to go out for an outing, where the willows will cling to the willows. The spring is just right, and some boys and girls can meet each other.

In Fujian, due to the late development, husbands died young. Coupled with the civil strife of the Wang family more than ten years ago, the number of men was rapidly depleted, and marrying a daughter became a worry.

What is even more heartbreaking is that the already few men were attacked by a group of ferocious soldiers who fought fiercely.

The defenders of Tingzhou City felt like they were being washed by wave after wave. As time went by, the force became stronger and stronger. Wounded soldiers were everywhere on the city head, wailing everywhere, broken city walls, and people all over the ground.

The corpses and mutilated bodies all showed that Tingzhou City could no longer hold on.

"But, today is only the second day!" Standing at the top of the city, Chen Hongjin was shocked as he watched the puppet troops climbing and fighting.

"Today, I know how powerful the puppet country is. It seems that I did not lose unjustly."

The soldiers of the puppet country are simply fearless and have high morale. The low Tingzhou city wall is only more than one foot, and an ordinary long ladder can be used to climb it.

When you see hundreds of ladders clinging to the city walls, you can feel the despair.

The defenders of Tingzhou City are even more disappointing. There are only two thousand people, and they know nothing. The only way to defend the city is to throw rocks and wood, and they have no experience at all.

The precarious situation is beyond description. It can only be said that we must guard it moment by moment!

Chen Hongjin sighed, took back all his troops, and no longer sent them to die. Instead, he turned around and went to the governor's office, and said to this group of civil servants who only knew how to talk:

"Your Majesty, Tingzhou City cannot be defended now. It is best to evacuate immediately."

"But, it's only the second day now, and there are two thousand of us, and we can't hold it for even two days!" Sun Tan, the governor of Tingzhou, was full of shock. How could the puppet country be so powerful?

"Your Majesty, what Chen Tongjun said is true. We should evacuate as soon as possible. It's not that we don't defend, but that we can't defend. If we use our names in vain, it will be unsightly."

The staff on the side were also worried about the name and hurriedly tried to persuade him.

As for the other officials in the governor's mansion, they had already started packing up their property and preparing to run away.

"Yes, I have to go!" Governor Sun sighed and said quickly: "I must inform the court of the true strength of the puppet country. The court must make preparations in advance, otherwise it will suffer a big loss."

Subsequently, Chen Hongjin led his soldiers, together with hundreds of guards from the governor's office, to escort the officials and their families out of the city, and quickly escaped without anyone stopping them.

"Click——"

"The city gate is broken——"

"Brothers, rush!!"

"Kill..."

Tingzhou City, after two days and one night of impact, finally could not withstand such a high-pressure state and could only declare it was occupied.

This is an ordinary siege battle. Neither the siege nor the defending side relies on more equipment for assistance, but only relies on the soldiers to fight fiercely.

"We won!" Huang Yang sighed, smiled slightly, and said: "A state city has also been destroyed. This is the second state city I have conquered. The land of the two counties of Tingzhou has also become Tang Dynasty."

Looking at Tingzhou City, perhaps it was too easy to obtain it, he felt a little disdainful in his heart, and said: "The soldiers of the puppet country have been in peace for a long time, and they cannot withstand this pressure. It seems that we still think highly of them."

Three of the five states in Fujian were re-incorporated under the control of the Tang Dynasty.

…………

Quanzhou City.

Chen Bing arbitrarily requisitioned a mansion as a residence, and then began to impose martial law and curfew on the entire Quanzhou city according to the established plan, maintaining social order in Quanzhou.

After a few days, I found that this group of troops neither killed nor robbed, and paid for their purchases. For a while, business resumed a bit of excitement, and peaceful life seemed to have returned.

As for Chen Bing, he went to Jinshan City to train an army of ten thousand people, not just for a mere Quanzhou City, otherwise he would be overqualified and underused.

Besides, how many titles can a state have? A brave captain? A brave captain? A baron? This is not what he wants.

In view of the difficulty in obtaining the title, the emperor also established the lifelong title, brave captain, and brave captain, to reward those who are so brave and good at fighting. They have no food, only ten stones of grain per year, and are exempted from corvee and do not kneel before officials.

and other privileges.

Moreover, after these two captains are discharged from the army, they will also be given official positions in the local area, either entering the inspection camp or the patrol department, or becoming the commander of the district or the commander of the armor.

In other words, there are two more levels of reduced titles. From the lowest baron to the brave and determined captain, one can enjoy two more generations of wealth.

For the powerful, it is not looked down upon, but for ordinary people and soldiers, this is too real. Regardless of status, ten shi of food per year can solve the basic problem of food and clothing, plus the official position.

Placement can be said to be a step to success.

How could Chen Bing take him seriously? He was not considered a noble at all. Even a baron was considered too young and ranked last among the nobles. If he could not get a hereditary one, he would become the second generation.

If you become a captain, how can you still be considered a noble?

These days, while he is sorting out the order in Quanzhou and taking over several counties under his jurisdiction, he is also adjusting and arranging the force of the Qingyuan Army. This is a team of nearly ten thousand people and cannot be careless.

"Commanding the army, it's not a big deal if the Qingyuan Army stays in the barracks all the time!" General Liu Santiao said softly.

"These are tens of thousands of people. If the puppet country goes south, these people will be very hot to deal with. Moreover, they may collude with them and attack from both inside and outside, which will be dangerous!"

"What do you say?" Chen Bing couldn't tell that this guy had something to say, so he let him say it.

"Jianzhou, we can attack Jianzhou!" Liu Santiao pointed to Jianzhou on the map and said excitedly: "There are five states in Fujian, and the puppet state occupies two states. Tingzhou may have been captured by General Huang long ago, and

Jianzhou will be isolated and helpless, so we can send the Qingyuan Army to attack Jianzhou."

"In this way, you can relieve worries and achieve military success. Why not do it?"

"You kid can also use slang!" Chen Bing smiled, looked at the location of Jianzhou on the map, and couldn't help but said: "You kid made a lot of contributions and killed a lot of people. After the war, a school

It's inevitable that Wei Zhijue will, yet he dares to be greedy."

"Hehe!" Liu Santiao said with a smile: "Isn't it the same for the commander of the army? This kind of merit is not enough. The higher the title, the better. I hope that the commander of the army will be a duke at once, and it will be hereditary."
