The time goes back to the tenth day of the fourth month.

Yunhua County, Yunfu, Gao Fu, the leader of the wind and Wang Ming, the leader of Tianmu, rose to the top.

In the eyes of the housekeeper Xu Ying, Gao Fu and Wang Ming were expressionless, but for Gao Fu and Wang Ming to get up, there must be something important, and Xu Ying hurriedly reported.

In the pavilion in the back garden, Yun Yi was playing against Yuan Xin, and the four daughters of Shangguan Sisters, Yuan Xin, and Fang Xuan were watching the battle around. (I'll talk about Fang Xuan later)

Seeing Xu Ying hurriedly walking towards this side, there must be something important, Yun Yi and Yuan Xin stopped playing, and everyone's eyes were on Xu Ying.

"Master, Lord Gao and Lord Wang have something important to see." Xu Yingdao.

"Okay, you take them to the study and wait for me."

"Yes."

Xu Ying hurriedly left the back garden, and Yun Yi also left the back garden and walked towards the study after saying a few words to the fifth girl.

When Yun Yi came to the study, Gao Fu and Wang Ming were already waiting in the study, and when the two saw Yun Yi coming, they bowed to each other and said, "Lord!" ”

Yun Yi walked a few steps to sit down opposite the two of them before he spoke: "No courtesy, what's the matter?" ”

Gao Fu took a step forward, put a folder on the desk with both hands, and took a step back before saying, "Lord, the army of the Tang Empire suddenly appeared in the eastern part of Hengzhou and quickly occupied a large area of land in the eastern part of Hengzhou. ”

"Huh? What's the situation? Hearing Gao Fu's words, Yun Yi was also taken aback, how could the army of the Tang Empire suddenly appear in the east of Hengzhou, and he did not receive the news that Zhangde Pass was captured by the Tang Empire.

Yun Yi opened the file and carefully read the information collected and summarized by Tianmu and Xunfeng.

The document mainly records that the army of the Tang Empire suddenly appeared in the east of Hengzhou, with more than 100,000 troops, and that the Tianmu Hengzhou Branch and the Xunfeng Hengzhou Branch suspected that the Tang Empire had opened a road in the Jiuling Mountains, and that the three allied forces of Menglihu had withdrawn northward.

After reading this information, Yun Yi closed his eyes and tapped his fingers lightly on the desk.

For! For! For!

After a long time, Yun Yi opened his eyes, and in the face of the army of the Tang Empire that suddenly appeared, Yun Yi made a decision in his heart, and then ordered one after another from the Yun Mansion.

Yun Yi's first order ordered Tianmu and Xunfeng to send more people to seize the time to investigate why the Tang Empire appeared in the eastern part of Hengzhou, even if the Tang Empire opened up a road in the Jiuling Mountain Range, Tianmu and Xunfeng would also find this road.

Yun Yi's second order ordered Lin Zhe to lead his men and horses to destroy the army of the Tang Empire, if it could not be eliminated, the army of the Tang Empire would be blocked as much as possible, and if it was defeated, it could be retreated.

Yun Yi's third order ordered the Second Cavalry Division in the south of Tongzhou to leave Tongzhou and go to Hengzhou to support Lin Zhe's army.

Yun Yi's fourth order ordered recruiting points to be set up in various places, and the Yun clan wanted to carry out a new round of recruitment.

Yunyi's fifth command......

In response to the army of the Tang Empire that suddenly appeared, Yun Yi had only one thought in his heart - to fight, he must defeat the army of the Tang Empire.

The appearance of the Tang army made Yun Yi very surprised, it can be called an empire, the strength of the Tang Empire is very strong, even if the Yun army is equipped with a large number of firearms, Yun Yi does not think that the current Yun Clan can withstand such a powerful country as the Tang Empire.

However, there is no absolute, what the Yun clan can't resist is the Tang Empire that concentrates the power of a country, if the Tang Empire only mobilizes part of the forces, then the Yun clan can still resist, at present, the Tang army has just appeared in Hengzhou not long ago, the number is only more than 100,000, not too much, if hundreds of thousands of troops appear all at once, it will be really a big trouble, Yun Yi's order to Lin Zhe will not be to fight with the Tang army, but directly withdraw the army.

Lin Zhe's soldiers and horses are still too few, on the one hand, he has to guard against the Menglihu coalition army, and on the other hand, he has to fight against the Tang army, with only 35,000 men and horses, Lin Zhe must be cautious and cautious.

It's just that all the men and horses in Yun Yi's hands have not reached 100,000, it can really be said that the soldiers are hated when they are used, and now they are almost stretched thin, and Yun Yi's transfer of the Second Cavalry Division under Shi Mincai to Lin Zhe is only to relieve Lin Zhe's pressure.

In order not to affect the people's livelihood under his rule, Yunyi was cautious about the expansion of the army, and was unwilling to overly recruit and train the young and strong soldiers under his rule.

However, because of the sudden appearance of the Tang army, Yun Yi had to issue a new round of army expansion plan, this time Yun Yi planned to recruit another 27,000 soldiers and form two infantry divisions.

Three days after Yunyi's order to recruit and expand the army was issued, the local governments in Zezhou and Yunhua County had already begun to set up recruitment points in various places, and Yingzhou was a little later, and Hezhou and Laizhou were not within the scope of recruitment.

Seeing that the Yun clan was going to recruit soldiers, the young adults under the Yun clan gathered to respond, especially those men who had just come of age, and it had almost become their ambition to be a soldier under the Yun clan.

Over the years, almost every battle of the Yun army has been passed on by word of mouth among the common people, the Yun army will win every battle, and its own losses are very small, and after becoming a soldier, the welfare is generous, even if it is accidentally injured and disabled on the battlefield or even killed in battle, there will be a large amount of compensation, which is enough to ensure that his wife and children continue to live.

"It's better to be a farmer than a soldier." This is a sentence that the old people under the Yun family often say to the younger generations.

After several years of steady development, the proportion of young and strong people under the Yun family has increased, and Yun Yi could have recruited more soldiers, but he has been self-limiting, and the number of soldiers recruited each time is limited, causing the young people to compete for these places, and finally choose the best.

The Yun clan once again recruited and expanded the army, and those young people who were not selected last time crowded to the recruitment point to sign up.

Since the news of the recruitment was released, the tasks have been completed in just four days in all parts of the Yun family (those who are qualified will be admitted), and after that, there are still young people who come to the recruitment point to sign up, but it is a pity that they came one step late, and in the end they can only leave unwillingly.

The newly recruited 27,000 people will not all be programmed into the Yunjia Army, of which 5,000 will enter the city defense army, and 5,000 veterans will be transferred from the city defense army into the two newly formed infantry divisions, and as for the instructors of the recruits, they will be those veterans who have retired due to injuries.

The Yun clan has a large reserve of guns and ammunition, which can fully support the addition of two infantry divisions, and the training plan of the two infantry divisions has officially begun, but it will take a long time to make the two infantry divisions have a certain combat effectiveness.

……

The news of the sudden appearance of the Tang army in the Guannei has spread all over the Guannei, and the major forces in the Guannei are all paying attention to the war in Hengzhou, and they have a strange clarity in their hearts, they hope that the Yun clan can defeat the Tang army and drive away the Tang army, and they don't want the Yun clan to really have the strength to defeat the Tang army.
