On October 11, the first year of the Great Controversy, in the mansion of Sima Yu located next to the government affairs center in Qilin City, just as Sima Yu was about to go to bed with Ah Liansang to live a corrupt life, the servants in the mansion came to report, saying that the county magistrate of Qilin County asked Sima Yu to go to the government affairs hall for discussion in an urgent matter. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

With the successful upgrade of Qilin City, Guoyuan specially planned a mansion for Sima Yu not far from the government affairs center.

After all, now that Sima Yu is already a prince, and there are female dependents like Ah Liansang, it is no longer appropriate to continue to live in the government affairs center.

When Sima Yu came to the government affairs hall, he found that the hall was already full of generals and scribes from Qilin County.

"Meet the Lord!"

Seeing Sima Yu coming in, everyone hurriedly saluted and worshipped.

"Excuse me, county magistrate, why are you in such a hurry to summon everyone to come to the meeting?"

After Sima Yu sat down, he immediately helped everyone up with his right hand and asked Guoyuan.

Although Sima Yu is always referred to as a brother to Guoyuan in private on weekdays, a formal occasion like this naturally cannot be so casual, which is not good for him and Guoyuan.

After all, for the ancients, the difference between respect and inferiority was very strict, and Guo Yuan had already advised him on this matter.

"My lord, the Great Western Army has been defeated!"

Hearing this, Guo Yuan stood up and reported to Sima Yu.

"What? Changfeng, tell me the details! ”

Sima Yu was taken aback when he heard this, and hurriedly asked Shi Gu Changfeng, the commander of the Jinyi Guard below.

Since returning from the Jinzhuwan Plain, Sima Yu knew that the war between the entire Great Western Army and the Qing Army was coming to an end, and he had been ordering people to pay close attention to the battle situation in Luzhou City, and report to him at any time.

"Back to the lord, four days ago, Daxi Zhang Xianzhong and Luzhou City led the troops to break through, and they were betrayed by the Qing army for the two prime ministers Wang Zhaolan and Yan Ximing, who committed suicide in order to avoid implicating Li Dingguo and the two armies. Now almost the entire Daxi Army in Luzhou City has been wiped out, and only Sun Kewang, Li Dingguo, Liu Wenxiu, Wang Shangli, Ai Nengqi and others led more than 2,000 people fled back to the hinterland of Daxi.

After returning to the hinterland of Daxi, Zhang Xianzhong's righteous descendants can hope to take the opportunity to kill Wang Shangli, Bai Yunfei and others to occupy the entire Jinzhuwan Plain, and establish themselves as the emperor of Daxi. Now, Ren Weibi and some other veteran generals of the Great Western Army have joined him.

Li Dingguo, the former Anxi general of the Great Western Army, and Liu Wenxiu, the general of Funan, fled back to their fiefdoms along the river from Niutan Town, and now the fiefs of the two have been merged into one, with Li Dingguo as the mainstay, and played a crusade against the Qing Dynasty, and recruited the Great Western Army to rout under the banner of avenging Zhang Xianzhong, and now there are nearly 20,000 troops under his command.

Wang Dingguo, Feng Shuangli, Ma Yuanli, Zhang Hualong, Ai Nengqi and others also occupied one side one after another, supporting the army and respecting themselves, and now the entire Daxi has been torn apart" Gu Changfeng said slowly.

"At such a critical juncture, why don't they think of joining forces to fight the enemy?"

When Sima Yu heard this, his voice suddenly rose twice.

Zhang Xianzhong gathered the strength of the entire Daxi and was not the opponent of the Qing army, and now Zhang Xianzhong has just been defeated, and these subordinates under his command still have the heart to divide and stand on their own, are they not afraid of the Qing army invading the east again.

"The lord didn't know, Zhang Xianzhong in order to expand rapidly, the army under his command was widely dispersed, quickly occupied the entire Yongzhou large area, but also left a huge hidden danger, the generals under his command have long hidden self-respecting posture, Zhang Xianzhong can be suppressed in fashion, now Zhang Xianzhong is naturally divided after his death, and among the generals of the West, only Li Dingguo's Jumei County and Sun Kewang's Jinzhuwan Plain border Luzhou, want to let Wang Dingguo, Feng Shuangli, Ma Yuanli, Zhang Hualong, who are far away from the Qing army, It is difficult for Ainengqi and others to contribute"

Guo Yuan shook his head when he heard this.

For this huge neighbor around him, Guoyuan naturally had long been concerned, and he had ordered the people of the scout camp to investigate the situation inside Onishi in detail.

"It's stupid!"

Sima Yu also shook his head helplessly when he heard this, and sneered, and he also understood a little in his heart why he couldn't unify the entire Yongzhou territory when the Great West was strong.

I'm afraid that these generals of Onishi have already been intriguing and contradictory with each other at the beginning, otherwise it would be easy to use Onishi's strength to level the forces of Qilin Village and Dongliu Town at that time.

"Since they can't be trusted, we can only rely on ourselves for today's plan, Changfeng, what is the dynamics of the Qing army now?" After a pause, Sima Yu then asked.

As Guoyuan said, it is good that these generals of the Great West can not fight now, and it is a luxury to let them unite sincerely.

"According to the news from Jinyiwei, now that the Qing army has occupied the entire territory of Luzhou, a Qing vanguard has advanced to Dahe Town, and can send troops to attack Maoyuan, Qinglong and Jumei County, where Li Dingguo and others are located, at any time," Gu Changfeng said solemnly.

Nearly half a month has passed, and the expansion of the entire Qilin County has been completed, and the 2,000 personal guards and 2,000 Jinyi guards have already started training, and even the Jinyi guards who are responsible for finding out the news have also begun to take shape.

With the rapid economic development of Qilin County, the commerce of Qilin County has developed rapidly, and the Qilin merchants who have sufficient pack horses and horses have begun to set foot abroad, and carry out commercial exchanges with Onishi and other forces, and all kinds of handicrafts, ironware and other products in Qilin County are exported to various places.

And these caravans that traveled far away were the best eyes and ears for Qilin County to inquire about the news from the outside world, and on the basis of the original 200 scout camps, the Jinyi Wei Outer Guard had rapidly expanded to thousands of people.

With sufficient ears and eyes, the news from all over the surrounding areas can also reach Sima Yu's ears in time.

"The Qing army is really moving quickly, I don't know if you have a good plan for this situation?"

Sima Yu's face became even more solemn when he heard this, and he looked at the people below and asked.

You must know that in today's world, which has expanded dozens of times, that is, the entire territory of Luzhou is also hundreds of thousands of square kilometers, and there is a distance of hundreds of kilometers from the city of Luzhou and the border of Luzhou, the Qing army can actually sweep the entire territory in such a short time.

"Lord, although the Qing army is strong, but also limited strength, now just occupy the entire territory of Luzhou, I am afraid that there is no power to advance eastward in a short period of time, while the Qing army has not advanced eastward, my Qilin County should expand the army again, train troops, and open all the passes, ready to accept the displaced people from the west, the top priority should be to stabilize the rear, improve the strength of the strong" Guoyuan stood up when he heard this.

During the war between the Qing army and Daxi, Sima Yu received a large number of displaced people from Daxi, and more than 100,000 of the nearly 400,000 people in Qilin County fled from Daxi.

Now that Zhang Xianzhong has been defeated, the people in Daxi are bound to be more panicked, and it is estimated that more people in Daxi will flee from Daxi, and these populations are the most valuable resources for Qilin County.

Although the expansion of Qilin County has just been completed, with the increase in population and the turbulence of the surrounding situation, 25,000 soldiers and horses are obviously insufficient again.

"My lord, what Lord Zini said is very good, the current situation of the entire Western Army is delicate, and we should not interfere lightly. However, my lord, our army in Daxi cannot be moved, but our army in Luzhou, which is located in the west, can meddle in one or two."

Xiang Lang Wenyan stood up and suggested.

"In Luzhou? Does Changshi mean the sailor battalion? ”

Sima Yu's heart moved when he heard this, and he looked at Xiang Langdao.

After Sima Yu was promoted to the county baron and obtained the qualification to open the mansion, Xiang Lang was canonized as the governor of Qilin County, and the general staff of Qilin County's military and political affairs.

"The lord is wise, what his subordinates are saying is my Qilin water division, although the Qing army now occupies the entire territory of Luzhou, but the strength of the army is limited, and the control of the whole territory of Luzhou in a short period of time is bound to be not high, my Qilin County can just send the water division up the river, you can transport materials to secretly fund the local anti-Qing forces, and you can also transfer the local people to my Qilin County through water transportation, and if necessary, you can even directly send troops to attack the Qing army, contain and harass the Qing army in Luzhou, and force the Qing army to not go all out to the east."

Seeing Sima Yu, he understood what he meant, and Xiang Lang couldn't help but smile and said.

"Okay, this plan is very good, I wonder if other monarchs have a good plan?"

Sima Yu was overjoyed when he heard this, stood up and looked at the other people in the hall, and the other people in the hall also showed joy when they heard Xiang Lang's suggestion, even Guoyuan, who had just made a suggestion, was no exception, and he was not unhappy because Xiang Lang stole his limelight.

Although Guoyuan's suggestion was sound, it was inevitably a little passive, while Xiang Lang's suggestion took the initiative to lead the battlefield directly to the territory of the Qing army, changing from passive to active, which was obviously superior in strategy.

"Okay, since everyone has no opinion, then follow the opinions of the county magistrate and Changshi"

Seeing that no one below made a sound, Sima Yu immediately clapped his hands and said.

Immediately, Sima Yu directly ordered the addition of three battalions of Changfeng Battalion, Guo Yijun, and Huben Battalion, and promoted the three brothers Wang Yantong, Long Wei, and Long Meng to school captains, each responsible for recruiting 5,000 troops to form three battalions. After the three left, the vacated positions of military commanders were taken over by Wang Yanzhang and Huang Jingtian's recommendations respectively.

Then Sima Yu ordered Yu Dayou to immediately go to the treasury to extract enough ordnance, armor, grain and grass materials, and prepare to send troops.

This time, the purpose of the expedition to Luzhou was mainly to recruit the population, as well as to cultivate forces on the spot to contain and harass the Qing army.

Therefore, Sima Yu decided to personally lead 5,000 guards battalions and 200 brocade guards, after all, with the treasury system, he could open a large amount of food, ordnance and other materials at any time, which was more convenient.

At the same time, after Sima Yu left, Guo Yuan was responsible for the big and small matters in the entire Qilin County, and Changshi Xiang Lang assisted him.
