Chapter 26: Plans (3rd Update)
"Become a Dong Bohou?"
Feng Zong's body trembled, and his expression suddenly became solemn.
He glanced at Feng Yuan deeply, but he didn't expect that after his son was assassinated, not only did his strength grow rapidly, but even the ambition in his heart was activated.
"This is what Gan Cen said to you! If you want to become Dong Bohou, it is far from enough to rely on your spirit wine recipe and body training secret method!"
"Dong Bohou not only has to suppress the two hundred princes in the east, but also to guard against the large-scale invasion of Dongyi, and at least two million troops are needed to control the situation in the east!"
"And my Qingzhou now only has 500,000 troops, more than self-preservation, not enough development! If you want to accumulate 2 million troops, you need at least decades of accumulation!"
But all the princes basically have ambitions in their hearts, but some of them have monstrous ambitions, and some of them have relatively small ambitions.
As an important town in the east second only to Donglu, it would be impossible to say that Fengzong did not have a little idea in his heart.
However, at the junction of Qingzhou and Dongyi, it has been at war with the major tribes of Dongyi all the year round, and its strength has been greatly suppressed, and it cannot be vigorously developed without worries like Donglu.
Therefore, over the years, Qingzhou's strength has been maintained to a certain extent and has not been able to grow explosively.
It seems very easy to grow the army of 500,000 to 2 million, as long as Fengzong orders the recruitment of soldiers, it can easily achieve the goal.
After all, there are tens of millions of Dingkou in Qingzhou, and one out of twenty is more than two million soldiers.
But the two million troops that Fengzong said were the same elite soldiers and horses as the original Qingzhou Army, and they were not this kind of rabble that had not been trained.
There is another point, that is, once Qingzhou recruits and trains soldiers on a large scale, it will inevitably arouse the vigilance of Donglu.
An army of 500,000 is enough for Qingzhou to defend against Dongyi. If the number of soldiers and horses increases, Donglu will definitely suppress it.
The population in Donglu far exceeds that of Qingzhou, and if Donglu also recruits soldiers, the number of soldiers that can be recruited is unimaginable.
Considering these reasons, even if the Wind Sect has ambitions, it is slowly worn out by reality.
"Father is right, if Qingzhou wants to surpass Donglu and become the chief of the eastern princes, it must not only have enough troops, recruit and train enough generals, but also find a way to make His Majesty Chaoge issue an order and officially recognize the status!"
"The number of soldiers and horses, the recruitment of generals and strong men, and the recognition of the emperor! As long as Qingzhou solves these three problems, my father can become the Eastern Bohou!"
"And now, it's time to solve the first problem!"
"The hundreds of thousands of Dongyi soldiers and horses besieging Lu Xiong this time are just relying on a large number of people, and Lu Xiong was too cautious in leading his troops to be trapped by the Dongyi army! If my father can break this Dongyi army and capture it, the strength under Qingzhou's command can be doubled in an instant!"
Feng Yuan slowly spoke his thoughts.
"Your plan is easy to say, but it's not easy to accomplish!"
When Feng Zong heard this, he couldn't help but shake his head.
That is, Feng Yuan is his son, so he didn't reprimand him with a cold face.
Feng Yuan said it easily, but the hundreds of thousands of Dongyi troops are not fish belly to be slaughtered.
Even he, a Heavenly Realm God General, did not dare to say that he could capture hundreds of thousands of troops with 50,000 troops under his command.
Not to mention, the hundreds of thousands of troops were all incorporated and made them soldiers in Qingzhou.
In one sentence to describe Feng Yuan's plan, it is whimsical!
However, when Feng Yuan was discussing the matter just now, the thoughts in his heart had already turned many times, and the decision he made after everything was calculated clearly was not a whim of Feng Zong.
"Father is too worried! Dongyi's hundreds of thousands of troops just sound powerful, they are good at small-scale hunting and fighting, and they have no experience in large-scale operations at all!"
Feng Yuan immediately said his thoughts one by one and explained them.
"As long as a few strong men act as the vanguard and break through, 50,000 soldiers and horses can defeat the hundreds of thousands of Dongyi's army! The only difficulty is that when the Dongyi's hundreds of thousands of troops collapse, we can't capture them all!"
"With my father in charge of the army, I will ask the third prince for help, and ask him to transfer Huang Feihu and Fenglin clan brothers to help, even if there are only 50,000 soldiers and horses, our army can also crisscross the east, and no one can beat it!"
Huang Feihu, Feng Lin, plus Feng Zong, the Heavenly Realm God General, as well as Feng Yuan and Gan Cen.
A Heavenly Realm God will bring four Earth Realm Generals. This kind of lineup, even if it doesn't win, it will definitely not lose.
Hearing Feng Yuan's analysis, Feng Zong showed a thoughtful look on his face, and nodded slightly, which can be regarded as approving his son's plan.
"There is some truth in what Da Lang said! However, you shouldn't have come into contact with many Dongyi people, right? The Dongyi people are brave and rebellious, even if they can defeat them and capture them, they will try their best to escape back to Dongyi, and it is basically impossible to subdue them!"
Feng Zong raised his eyebrows and said lightly.
Feng Yuan noticed his father's expression, and his heart moved, knowing that his father had actually been persuaded for the most part.
As long as he can defeat the hundreds of thousands of Dongyi army, the name of the Marquis of Qingzhou can spread throughout the two hundred princes in the east, making his prestige skyrocket.
Therefore, it is actually not important whether the plan of Feng Yuan's captives can be completed or not.
Qingzhou is located on the border of Dongyi, and is facing the threat of Dongyi all the time, as long as it can deal a blow to Dongyi, and if it can gain a lot of prestige without serious damage, Fengzong will definitely not miss the opportunity.
"Father, rest assured, this Eastern Crusade, with Wen Taishi and the Third Prince personally in charge, will definitely be able to defeat the Houshen Ministry! Without the Houshen Ministry as a support, where can those Dongyi captives flee to?"
Feng Yuan smiled.
In fact, in Feng Yuan's view, the fundamental reason why the Dongyi people could not be subdued and had to find a way to escape back to the tribe was not that they were naturally brave and rebellious.
It is that the big businessmen do not regard the Dongyi people as their own kind at all, as long as they are Dongyi people, they can only be slaves in the big merchants, they are whipped and abused every day, there is not enough food, and they are constantly treated inhumanely.
Although the Great Shang Dynasty of the Fengshen World has developed for countless years from ancient times to the present, its social form is still in the period of slavery dynasty. The folk customs are simple, and everything is black and white.
If they are captured by the enemy, then they will be reduced to slaves, and the princes and nobles will always be high, and the slaves will be reduced to dust and mud for the rest of their lives, and there will never be a day to turn over.
Faced with this situation, it is normal for the Dongyi people to try their best to escape.
If Feng Yuan can get these hundreds of thousands of captives, he doesn't need to be too good to them, as long as he gives them a hope that as long as he makes a contribution, he can get rid of his slave status and become a "countryman" in Qingzhou.
These people have a great probability of honestly training troops in Tuntian, plus the Dongyi troops were destroyed and cut off their back roads, and the possibility of escape is extremely small.
