Chapter 801 Ruizhou Judy, Zhao Jiaxian!

Among the three, Li Lu, who ranks second, has the calmest personality, and his eyes reveal a steadiness. Li Hu, as the eldest brother, is the one with the worst temper. He has a burly figure and bulging muscles, and it seems as if he can burst out with amazing fighting power at any time. The last one, Li Yang, is relatively gentle, but the ruthlessness hidden under his gentle appearance is no less than that of his two brothers.

At this moment, Li Hu could no longer suppress his curiosity, and a rough voice rang out in the team.

Li Hu walked while scratching his head, his face full of confusion.

He has always been impatient and can't keep things to himself. Once he has doubts, he can't help but ask.

"Master Shaoqu, wasn't Ruizhou taken back by the Daqian Dynasty a while ago?"

"How come we have encountered so few defenders along the way? It's almost like an empty city. What's going on in the Daqian Dynasty?"

The "Shaoqu Shuai" he mentioned was the young man marching at the front of the team.

Although this man is young, he has an extraordinary temperament, with heroic spirit between his brows and sharp eyes. He is the leader of another Yellow Turban Army, the Great Xuan Yellow Turban, in the Taiping Sect besides Meng Zhang - Zhu Di, the son of Zhu Yuanzhang.

At this time, Zhu Di was wearing a yellow robe and a long sword at his waist, looking heroic. He glanced at Li Hu and a trace of helplessness flashed in his eyes.

"General Li Hu, you don't know that the current Daqian Dynasty has long been in turmoil, with internal and external troubles."

"First, the Yellow Turban Rebellion swept across the country, and then the Night King of the northern border and the Yan King of Yanzhou in the west rebelled one after another. The foundation of the Daqian Dynasty had long been shaken."

He slowly turned around and looked at Li Hu, his tone somewhat helpless, yet full of deep meaning.

"The main forces of the Daqian Dynasty are now tied up in various places to deal with these endless crises. Although Ruizhou is strategically important, in the eyes of the Daqian Dynasty, it is probably just a corner among many battlefields."

"The Daqian Dynasty is busy putting out fires everywhere and has no time to take care of this place, let alone send heavy troops to guard it."

Having said that, a hint of coldness flashed in Zhu Di's eyes, and he continued.

"So that's how it is. The Daqian Dynasty has been distracted and given us an opportunity to take advantage of!"

"Shao Qushuai, what are we waiting for? We should take advantage of his illness to kill him and directly capture Ruizhou as a springboard for our Yellow Turban Army to march north again!"

After hearing this, Li Hu suddenly realized something and patted his forehead and laughed.

"I am naturally aware of General Li Hu's bravery, but even though Ruizhou is now empty, we cannot let our guard down."

"Although the main force of the Daqian Dynasty has been contained, there may still be remnants of forces here, or reinforcements may arrive at any time."

"What we need to do is to take steady steps and capture Ruizhou at the lowest cost."

Upon hearing this, Zhu Di smiled slightly, a hint of heat flashed in his eyes, and then he gently shook his head.

"Marshal Shaoqu is right. We cannot underestimate the enemy. After we take Ruizhou, we will face more challenges."

"The Daqian Dynasty will not sit idly by and watch us grow stronger. They will most likely send troops to encircle and suppress us. Also, it is impossible for the commander-in-chief Longxiong who is on the border of Ruizhou to watch Ruizhou fall into our hands. I think he will come to intervene." Li Lu, the calmer of the three brothers, also interrupted at this time.

Zhu Di nodded and stared blankly into the distance. As the son of Zhu Yuanzhang, there was Zhu Biao above him, suppressing all his brothers behind him.

To be honest, Zhu Di was still under a lot of pressure. The only thing that made him feel a little relieved was that Zhu Biao was not interested in actions such as leading troops in battle, but was focused on helping Zhu Yuanzhang deal with various affairs within the Yellow Turban Army.

This gave him the opportunity to lead the army to fight alone. Therefore, Zhu Di was under a lot of pressure and was eager to achieve some results to show Zhu Yuanzhang and prove that he was not much inferior to Zhu Biao.

Now, the Daqian Dynasty is in turmoil, and it is a good opportunity for Zhu Di to rise to power!
"If you don't take what God has given you, you will suffer the consequences! Now that the main force of the Daqian Dynasty has been delayed, they can't take care of the land of Ruizhou. This is a good opportunity given to us by God."

"We should take it and carve out a kingdom for the Taiping Sect and the Yellow Turban Army!"

Zhu Di's voice became more and more excited, as if it could penetrate the clouds and reach the sky.

Upon hearing this, the three brothers Li Hu, Li Lu and Li Yang also had a flash of excitement in their eyes.

Honestly speaking, it’s not easy for the three of them to survive now. Previously, they were beaten by one opponent when they were three against one.

Later, he ran head-on into Li Yuanba and was almost killed by Li Yuanba's hammer.

This resulted in the three of them being beaten one after another by many opposing generals on the battlefield against Li Yuan's army, and they lost all face.

This is also the reason why the three brothers took the initiative to volunteer to come under Zhu Di's command. If under Zhu Di's leadership, their small force can make some achievements, it can at least help them regain some face among the Yellow Turban Army.

The team continued to move forward, and the horizon of Ruizhou became faintly visible.

Zhu Di stood at the front of the team, looking at Ruizhou City in the distance, and a strong premonition surged in his heart that this battle would be an important turning point in his life!

Just when Zhu Di was ambitious and had a raging fire of war in his heart, he vowed to lead the Yellow Turban Army under his command to show his prowess in Ruizhou and write his own glorious chapter.

However, there is also an undercurrent of power in Ruizhou, eyeing the current chaotic situation in the Daqian Dynasty and ready to strike.

This force is the newly rising powerful family in Ruizhou - the Zhao family!
Although the Zhao family is not a prominent family, it has been in its heyday in recent years. The patriarch, Zhao Yong, is a man of great talent and strategy with a unique vision and iron fist. In this chaotic time, he managed to repel the Yellow Turban Army in Daqian, and then brought the Zhao family to the throne of the top force in Ruizhou!
The patriarch of the Zhao family, Zhao Yong, was also the heroic ruler of the State of Zhao during the Spring and Autumn Period who was brought out earlier - King Wuling of Zhao!
Historically, he advocated wearing Hu clothing and riding and shooting, and trained cavalry in the northern border area between Zhao State and nomadic peoples, which changed the way of fighting in the Warring States Period. Therefore, some people believe that he is the ancestor of Chinese cavalry.

After that, he adopted the strategy of connecting Qin, Chu, and Song to contain Qi, Wei, Han and other countries, and took advantage of the melee among the countries to continuously attack Zhongshan State and completely destroy it.

During this period, he patrolled northern Xinjiang, conquered the Linhu and Loufan tribes, opened up the three counties of Yunzhong, Yanmen and Daijun, built the "Great Wall of Zhao" at the foot of Yinshan Mountain, expanded the land for thousands of miles, and revitalized the national power of Zhao. , becoming a powerful country alongside Qi and Qin.

It is a pity that Zhao Yong later gave the throne to his second son Zhao He, who was in charge of state affairs, while he focused on military affairs and was called "Lord Father".

However, his act of passing on the throne caused conflicts between the eldest son Zhao Zhang's faction and Zhao He's faction.

This eventually led to the outbreak of the Shaqiu Rebellion, during which Zhao Yong was besieged for more than three months and eventually starved to death in the palace. He was posthumously named "Wu Ling".
