Lin Hu's rebels had already recovered. Of course, the so-called vitality is only relative to his brother, and it is only that he has gathered 2.3 million people.

And with Qin Mo's full support, King Lin Hu also recovered. Of course, the so-called recovery of vitality only has a population of one million, but among them, only 200,000 Linhu people can fight, and the rest are in the hands of the Central Plains led by Qin Mo.

In other words, after six years of war and Zhao Xing's fire, Lin Hu, who originally had a population of 2 million, was only more than 400,000 left.

And the richest area of Linhu has been replaced and occupied by the Central Plains people recruited and developed by Qin Mo.

And King Linhu and Bendu have not stopped, they have changed from the struggle of the country to an endless vendetta, and their true nature has completely changed.

And there is no righteousness left, only vendetta is left, which has made the few Linhu people feel tired, and the people of the Central Plains who are constantly being exploited and oppressed are angry, and they shouted out the call to expel the king of Linhu, and the conditions for Zhao Xing to take over Linhu are ripe.

Zhao Xing didn't come to Linhu alone, he brought his 20,000 hundred battle iron horses, 50,000 equipped with simple saddles and stirrups, and steel knives.

This time, he was at the request of the people of the Hetao region, asking Zhao Xing, their god, to come and rescue them from the hands of King Linhu, who had become more and more brutal.

Zhao Xing and Lou Di were Qin Mo and all the Central Plains officials of the original Linhu Wang's court, and some of the Linhu clan leaders who were no longer willing to be driven by the Linhu Wang, went out of the Yellow River to greet them.

When Zhao Xing's frame appeared on the horizon, Zhao Guo promised to lend Zhao Xing's 50,000 iron horses, and also rushed to the Yellow River to converge.

For a time, the entire bank of the Yellow River was really full of soldiers.

And the hundred officials that Qin Mo brought with him, not with the etiquette of greeting each other, but with the mood of welcoming the return of his king, knelt down in front of Zhao Xing's frame.

Qin Mo knelt down with tears in his eyes and shouted: "Qin Mo, the fake appearance of the Tang Dynasty, bring all the colleagues of the Tang Dynasty to welcome the return of the king." ”

The officials and the people who accompanied them knelt down and cheered together.

Zhao Xing lifted the curtain of his four-wheeled carriage, stood on the carriage high-spiritedly, looked down at the thousands of subjects in front of him, his heart was infinitely surging, and he stomped his feet: "Here, it is already my land, here, it is already the land of the Tang Dynasty, and I will start from here and move towards the road of hegemony and unification." The world, the Warring States, I'm really here now. ”

The temporary capital city chosen by Zhao Xing is only a tributary of a large river with Jingbian Fort on the Great Wall of Northern Qin, which is only 300 miles away, and the upstream fertilizer pond of raw water.

This is the upper reaches of the huge salt lake that Zhao Xing and Xu Jie first discovered when they entered Linhu. The reason why Zhao Xing chose to be here is because it not only occupies Yanchi, an important pillar of his own economy in the future, but at the same time, the south can peek into the Qin State nearby, and the east can directly occupy the Xihe of the original Wei State and now the Shangjun fief of Qin, and cross the Yellow River, which is the Zhao State, and you can go to your own Sitongguan along the Yellow River, which is the Sanmenxia of later generations. And you can look at the desert in the north, the desert in the south, and the grassland in the north.

Of course, Zhao Xing had solemnly announced that this was just a temporary capital of his own, renamed Tang City.

Entering Tang City, Zhao Xingduan sat on the main hall of the original Advance Palace built for King Lin Hu, now called Tang Palace, and once again accepted the congratulations of the hundred officials. Zhao Xing officially announced that the Tang, the Tang Dynasty, and the Marquis Kingdom were officially established, and Qin Mo, who had worked hard and made meritorious contributions here, was named the right minister of the Tang Dynasty, ranking below Xu Jie, the left minister.

Qin Mo thanked him gratefully.

Then, according to Zhao Xing's system of six ministries and nine secretaries, the officials here were all named six right scholars, except for Dongguoli, who had contributed to water control, a special Ministry of Water Resources was set up, and he was the first Shangshu. The first task was to build a huge dam near the Yellow River in preparation for the immint.

The second task is to plug the bitter hu, that is, the water entering the upper reaches of the salt lake in the future, in preparation for the future salt drying itself.

Dongguoli happily accepted the task.

"Please tell me about the situation in the place where we have mastered it now."

Qin Mo stood in front of you and began to introduce the current situation: "The situation around us now is not too good, but it is not too bad either. ”

It's not too bad, it's a good start.

"The Qin State in the south, in just one year, annexed the two countries of Bashu, and obtained for them the huge grain production area of Bashu in Guanzhong, and he destroyed his henchman Yiqu State the year before last, annexing the land and population of Yiqu. Now the state of Qin is even stronger. ”

This is bad news.

"But because of Qin's support for Lin Hu Bendu, it also cost him a huge amount of financial and material resources, so he did not attack the five Great Walls of Yifei Lixing that we had already occupied, but only built five more cities on the opposite side of these five cities to confront each other, and now the two sides are at peace."

This is good news.

"In order to train his troops, and also to deal with his capital supported by the Qin State, King Lin Hu placed all his Hu troops in Monan, north of the Yellow River, after several years of tempering, he has become strong and strong, and there are 100,000 tigers and wolves."

This is bad news.

"But they are used to all the supplies being supplied by our current Hetao area, so as long as we block the Yellow River, King Lin Hu will not be able to hold out for long."

That's the good news.

"But we suddenly occupy the root of Lin Hu and establish the Tang Dynasty, he will definitely lead the army to turn over and kill back, and it is more likely to make peace directly with Bendu, and the two combined forces will be killed, the number of troops will reach 200,000, and we will have a big war."

This is bad news.

Zhao Xing said to everyone: "This time, the widow brought 20,000 troops, I called him the Guards, Lou Fu 50,000, and Zhao Guo lent 50,000, a total of 120,000. But remember, these are soldiers armed with stirrups, saddles, and steel knives. In terms of equipment, we are definitely stronger than the Linhu people who are still riding on horseback, and we have absolute confidence in defeating Linhu, widows and our soldiers. ”

This is good news, and the crowd is excited.

Qin Mo continued to report: "After eight years of operation, our Hetao area has been rich in fertile fields, the irrigation network is as dense as a spider, there are 1.3 million nationals, and there are 50,000 standing troops. ”

That's the good news.

"But we still have the Limhu people in our area who are not willing to submit, and this is a factor of our insecurity."

This is bad news.

"The Qin State will also take advantage of our seizure of the Linhu region and the instability of the people, take advantage of our unstable foothold to attack us, and seize the Hetao region with us, which will cause us to suffer enemies on both sides."

This is again bad news.

Zhao Xing explained to you peacefully: "In the face of Qiang Qin's attack and Lin Hu's counterattack, the widow is not worried. Because, we have a powerful millions of people who are annoying to the people, a steady army of people on the vast grassland, we have a steady stream of military products produced by Daijun, we have a steady stream of wealth brought to us by the four customs clearances, and we are now, at least the Zhao State that is now allied with us, so we have the absolute ability to destroy the enemy and gain a firm foothold. ”

This is good news, great news. In terms of land area, the newly born Tang Dynasty has squeezed into the top three of the vassal states. In terms of population, if you add the migratory population of Daijun, it is enough to be three million, which can squeeze into the top ten of the princes in the world, and if you talk about output, you can firmly sit at the top of the princes in the world. With such a foundation, why don't Datang fight for hegemony in the Central Plains and unify the world?

"Alright, now our first task is to eliminate Lin Hu." Then Zhao Xing gritted his teeth and said: "It is to eliminate, not to expel us, we want to be in a hundred years, and our north will not be threatened by the Hu people." Everyone, let's fight. ”
