Chapter 527: Changing the Sky (16)
"I wonder if Xihou Ye is willing to accept it?" Prime Minister Sun Cheng naturally knew the mind of Xihou Ye and came here.
Xihou Ye has always been worried about this to get rid of the Eastern Country, if Prime Minister Sun can help himself, it must be a beautiful thing. Prime Minister Sun Cheng could see that Xi Houye was very interested, so he informed Xi Houye of his thoughts.
The place where Xi Houye is now is easy to defend and difficult to attack, if he continues to recruit troops and horses here and expand his own power, he will be even more enclosed as the king, and Dongfang Che can't say anything. Moreover, the terrain to the west is rugged and difficult to understand, and it is impossible to come up with a brilliant attack method if it is not for those who have been here for a long time.
In this way, not only can the army be stronger, but even the territorial rights of Xihou Ye will be larger. In the future, if you really want to pull Dongfang Che down, it will be easy.
Prime Minister Sun Cheng's words made Xihou Ye like it very much, and this is what he wanted. Xi Houye agreed with Prime Minister Sun Cheng's strategy, and he could see that Prime Minister Sun Cheng was a rare talent, and he must keep him here. After the two reached a common consciousness, Xihou Ye listened to Prime Minister Sun's advice and followed his words.
The two first secretly recruited troops and continued to expand their troops. Any man who is in good health and meets the requirements of an ordinary soldier must be brought to become a soldier. As for some useless men, they naturally stayed at home. The secret practices of Xihou Ye and Prime Minister Sun made the people a little unhappy.
After all, without a sturdy man, who would plough the fields? Is it possible that these women, children and old people should go to plow the fields and cultivate the land? The words of the people will leak out the news that they will recruit troops. In order to calm his uneasy thoughts, Xi Houye could only be kind, and let Prime Minister Sun Cheng come up with a way to let them continue to live in peace without any influence.
Subsequently, Xihou Ye guarded all the current territories, and after the planning was completed, he proclaimed himself king. However, the troops were still insufficient, and in the end, in desperation, Xi Houye could only post an edict to recruit troops, and take all the recruits away for training day and night, so as not to relax again.
Xi Houye read from the war book that if you can't train your soldiers well, like scattered sand, then victory will be far away from you. If you train your soldiers well, you will be able to win by breaking through them.
The news of everything that the West Hou Ye had done suddenly came out and reached the ears of the North Hou Ye. The North Hou Ye learned that everything the West Hou Ye did was to strengthen his own power.
Originally, the forces of the two marquis in the northwest were evenly matched, regardless of you and me. But when the West Houye made such a decision, everyone knew that the troops in the west were more powerful than those in the north. How could the Marquis of Bei be willing to do this? Seeing that Xihou Ye continues to grow his power?
Beihou Ye also told the strategist everything that the West Hou Ye had done, so that the strategist could come up with a plan and be even more powerful than the West Hou Ye. The strategist informed the Northern Marquis of the plan, and the Northern Marquis began to execute it.
The marquis on both sides were constantly expanding their power, and Dongfang Che, who was staying in the splendid palace of the Eastern Kingdom, immediately thought deeply as soon as he received the spies' return, wanting to find the best way to deal with it.
If the Hou Ye on both sides of the northwest grows stronger and stronger, I am afraid that the Eastern Kingdom will not be able to hold out at that time. In the eyes of others, no matter how powerful the army is, it can't resist a few troops.
