Chapter 751: Wang Xiaodong's swordsman asks to see
"Liaodong, is there any new information sent back?"
"There's no more news yet."
Liaodong is still too remote.
And judging from the current situation, the intelligence system on the Liaodong side should have been destroyed.
Messaging has become more difficult.
Zhao Hui returned to Jicheng and immediately sent additional people to Liaodong.
Now I can't figure out the situation in Liaodong, and it is not necessary to recover Liaodong immediately, Zhao Hui still has time to take his time to lay out.
He doesn't need to be in a hurry, this time he must defeat the Gongsun family in Liaodong in one fell swoop, so that they will never resurrect again.
Zhao Hui returned to Jicheng and never went out again.
It seems that they are by Zhang Xue and Zhao Hong's side every day, but one intelligence line after another has extended to Liaodong.
The Taishou of the five counties of Liaodong, all the information of the recent period of time was sent to Zhao Hui.
What they have done, who they have been in contact with, and where they have been, Zhao Hui already knows everything.
There may be omissions, but Zhao Hui already basically knows their position.
It's just that they don't know what Gongsun Huang used to persuade them, or what benefits Gongsun Huang gave them.
After Gongsun Huang occupied Liaodong, he immediately began to recruit soldiers and horses.
The latest news that Gongsun Huang already has 100,000 troops in his hands.
This number may be exaggerated, but it will definitely not be less than eighty thousand.
Not only the original soldiers and horses of Liaodong and the newly recruited, but also the tens of thousands of troops of Goguryeo.
After the Gongsun family fled to Goguryeo, with their strength, they also flourished in Goguryeo.
Now it has formed an alliance with Goguryeo.
Zhao Hui wants to deal with Gongsun Huang, which is equivalent to dealing with Goguryeo.
The Gongsun family has been in Liaodong for several generations, even if Gongsun Du was killed and the rest of the people fled, but there is still some background.
"Herald Xu Huang ......"
After learning the basic situation of Liaodong, Zhao Hui began to lay out.
It's very different now than it was a few years ago.
Zhao Hui wanted to attack Liaodong, and he didn't need to lead a large army through Liaoxi.
Dozens of warships in western Liaoning have already sailed to Qingzhou.
Over the years, shipyards in western Liaoning have been building warships.
Not only warships, but also cargo ships.
Today's largest warship can accommodate 2,000 people.
However, only two of these large warships have been built in the shipyards of western Liaoning.
It takes a year to build one.
At present, the main warship is still a thousand-person warship.
There are also the original 500-man warship, which has not yet been eliminated.
Zhao Hui didn't want to go from Liaoxi this time, the road there was difficult and dangerous, whether it was the army, or the transportation of grain and grass was very inconvenient.
And with the use of warships, the loss in all aspects can be minimized.
Originally, Zhao Hui wanted to attack Liaodong, which might need to consume hundreds of millions of dollars, but with the use of warships, this loss could be reduced by at least fifty percent.
The transportation of grain and grass by land requires not only a large number of people, but also a large number of cattle and horses.
In bad weather, it is easy to delay time, and the loss will be doubled.
This time, Zhao Hui will directly use warships from Qingzhou and Youzhou to cross the Bohai Sea and transport a large number of soldiers, grain and grass to Liaodong.
The reason why those officials in Liaodong were so easily persuaded by Gongsun Huang.
In addition to the fact that Gongsun Huang promised their interests, a big reason was that he thought that Liaodong was bitter cold, and it was very difficult for Zhao Hui to attack Liaodong.
At that time, maybe they still have to make peace, and they can break away from Zhao Hui's hands.
Gongsun Huang is the emperor of Liaodong, and they are not much different.
In order to win them over, Gongsun Huang gave up a lot of benefits.
These Taishou in Liaodong have long been accustomed to their words.
In the years that they have been controlled by Zhao Hui, they have not been happy.
After all, Zhao Hui's various rules, they must abide by, like a sharp sword hanging over their heads, so that they dare not exceed the slightest bit.
On such a day, where is there the refreshment that came before.
They respect Gongsun Huang, but Gongsun Huang will not restrict them too much.
The whole county, it's they who have the final say.
It's nothing more than that when there is a war, they also contribute money and efforts, and everyone advances and retreats together.
What they thought was that Zhao Hui had just occupied Jizhou now, and there was Cao Cao Yuan Shu in the south, and they had already learned that Yuan Shu had cut off Zhao Hui's supply of grain and grass.
So they thought that even if Zhao Hui knew that Liaodong was lost, he would not be able to lead an army to attack Gongsun Huang in a short time.
And now they are taking refuge in Gongsun Huang and supporting Gongsun Huang, when Zhao Hui's army really arrives, when Gongsun Huang is still unable to resist Zhao Hui, they can still stand up and say that they were forced by Gongsun Huang, and they had no choice but to bow to Gongsun Huang.
If Zhao Hui didn't want the chaos in Liaodong, he still needed to rely on them.
Just like when Zhao Hui exterminated Gongsun Du, he still had to appoint them as Taishou.
Therefore, the Taishou of the five counties of Liaodong are very bold. Dare to cooperate with the Gongsun family again.
It's just that they don't know that Zhao Hui's current strength is completely different from a few years ago.
Zhao Hui has changed, but they still haven't changed.
"Lord, there is a person who calls himself Wang Xiaodong outside and asks to see him."
Zhao Hui is teasing his son Zhao Hong.
Huang Kui came in to report.
"Wang Xiaodong?" Zhao Hui went through it in his mind, but he didn't have any impression of this name.
With Zhao Hui's current status, it is naturally not something that anyone can ask for if he wants to see.
Even those heads of the family have to be informed in advance, and whether they see it or not depends on Zhao Hui's mood.
If Zhao Hui didn't want to see them, he would send them away for any reason.
Not to mention the nobodies.
There is no good reason, even if you kneel outside the state governor's mansion, you will be carried away by the guards.
Huang Kui hadn't heard of Wang Xiaodong's name either, but he still came in to report it.
"He's a swordsman, and his kung fu is very powerful."
Huang Kui saw that Zhao Hui hadn't heard it and said again.
"Swordsman? Kung Fu is good? Can't you beat it too? Zhao Hui suddenly became a little interested.
Huang Kui, as the captain of Zhao Hui's personal guard, if he was really just an ordinary person, he would definitely not bother Zhao Hui easily.
Huang Kui blushed a little and said, "My subordinates really can't beat him." ”
After receiving the news of the guards at the door, he first went to confirm Wang Xiaodong's strength in person.
"The opponent's sword is very fast, and his subordinates can't stop it."
Huang Kui was embarrassed to say that he couldn't block it with a sword.
Such a master came to ask for a meeting, and Huang Kui naturally wanted to inform Zhao Hui.
If Zhao Hui knew that he had turned away such talents, he would probably not be able to save his legs.
"You call people to the front yard first, I want to see how strong this swordsman is."
Zhao Hui walked out of the backyard, and Zhao Hong's fleshy little hand in his arms was holding a small wooden sword.
It was made by Zhao Yun himself in Jizhou, and he was brought back by Zhao Hui this time.
Zhao Hong, who is less than a year old, likes this small wooden sword very much and has to hold it in his hand every day.
