Chapter 275: Autumn Rain
South County.
This place has been occupied by Hu Ling, in order to improve his strength, Hu Ling can be said to have done all the bad things, he still adopted the method of expanding the army of Qingyuan County, the overlord policy!
The so-called overlord policy is to rob all the family, the people, and the big families of gold, silver, money and grain, and compared with Wang Xu, the family is more afraid of Hu Ling.
Under Hu Ling's strong suppression, no family could survive.
In just one month, all of Nanjun was sacked by Hu Ling, except for Wangcheng, which was worse than bandits.
Although he has a feud with everyone, Hu Ling's strength has undoubtedly been greatly improved, compared to Wang Xu, Hu Ling seems to be more powerful, in addition to the 500,000 soldiers and horses stationed in the royal city of Qingyuan County, the strength of Nanjun at this moment has also expanded to 400,000.
At this point, the real strength of Hu Ling's army is 900,000!
This number is extremely terrifying, compared to the current imperial court, of course, these troops do not have the slightest loyalty, once they are engaged with people, the soldiers may mutiny at any time.
But Hu Ling didn't care about this, he wanted a powerful force that could deter everyone.
Gao Quan is Hu Ling's military advisor, and he also acquiesces in Hu Ling's approach, in fact, Gao Quan knows very well that if he wants to win the world, he must implement benevolent government, but now is a troubled time, if the strength is not strong, it will have been eliminated by the imperial court a long time ago, and no matter how good the policy is, it will not survive.
There is nothing wrong with Gao Quan's idea, especially for Hu Ling, which is very practical.
Just imagine, if Hu Ling was like Wang Xu, he did not commit any offence against the people, and gave three points of gift money to the big clans, I am afraid that he would have been wiped out by Yu Yuan a long time ago, how could he survive until now?
In the palace of the royal city, Hu Ling sat on the throne and received the messenger sent by Wang Xu, Jian Yi.
Jian Yi looked proud. He said lightly: "In the following Wang envoy, meet General Hu." ”
Hu Ling was slightly displeased, he now has almost a million troops, and Wang Xu's envoy is still so arrogant. This made him very uncomfortable, but after thinking about it, Wang Xu was indeed strong, and he won Hexi County, and the war horse was inexhaustible.
Although he has nearly a million mercenaries. But the cavalry doesn't even have 30,000, it's pitiful, this is also a regional problem, there are fewer horses in the south, and there are even fewer in the southern county, and the war horses that Hu Ling got are not 10,000, plus the previous 20,000 war horses, the cavalry is only 30,000.
"King Wen sent you here, why did you do that?" Hu Ling said quietly.
Jian Yi said: "General Hu." Jian Yi is here to save you. ”
"Hehe, a bunch of nonsense, Yu Yuan is attacking the Western Capital, did you come to fight me, how can I let you save me?" Hu Ling said disdainfully.
Gao Quan understood what Jian Yi meant, and the current situation was very clear, either the court would die, or the rebel team would die; In other words, if Yu Yuan drove Wang Xu out of Guxi County. Then Yu Yuan can attack Hu Ling in a big way next.
If they join forces to eat Yu Yuan's 200,000 army, it will be a blessing for Hu Ling, Wang Xu, and even all the thieves in the world.
I'm afraid I'll be able to gain a firm foothold at that time. If you want to be the king and the emperor, there is no longer any opposing force, and the court can only turn a blind eye and have no ability to crusade.
Gao Quan said directly: "Lord Jane, I don't know how many soldiers King Wen wants to borrow?" ”
Jian Yi was stunned, he didn't expect Gao Quan to be so direct. He arched his hand and said: "King Wen said, if General Hu can go to Guxi County to help in the battle with the army of Qingyuan County, after the matter is completed, my king can sell a large number of war horses in Hexi County to you, and at that time, our strength will be improved, and we no longer have to fear the officers and soldiers of the imperial court." ”
Gao Quan smiled quietly, Chao Hu Ling saluted, and said: "Lord, Wang Xu is at war with the imperial army, we must help, and it is recommended that 400,000 troops be transferred from Qingyuan County to the west, if Yu Yuan can be eliminated, it is really a blessing." ”
All the generals in the hall grinded their fists and clapped their hands, eager to try, but Hu Ling didn't seem to be interested, he had greater ambitions, he wanted to wait until Yu Yuan and Wang Xu were both defeated before making a move, and then not only could he defeat Wang Xu and Yu Yuan, but even Guxi County could be won.
As long as Guxi County is in hand, Wu County in the east is not a problem, if it goes on like this, within a few months, most of the world will be his own, but he is also hesitating, to be honest, although he has nearly a million troops now, but he is still very afraid of Wang Xu, there is no reason for this fear, it comes from the heart.
Seeing that Hu Ling was still hesitating, Gao Quan said: "Lord, as long as they work together to eliminate Yu Yuan, the lord can be called the emperor, and no one will object at that time!" ”
Speaking of being the emperor, Hu Ling immediately came to his senses, sat up straight, and listened quietly.
Gao Quan said: "The most important thing is that King Wen promised to sell us a large number of war horses in Hexi County, so that our army will be greatly strengthened. ”
Hu Ling grinned: "Okay, just use the military advisor to say bluntly, transfer 400,000 troops to help Guxi County, this time, we must defeat Yu Yuan!" In addition to this henchmanship. ”
"No." The congregation will answer.
..............
The order was issued, and five days later, Gu Li, the general of Qingyuan County, led 400,000 troops to the west, aiming at Qingyang City, where Yu Yuan was located.
At the same time, the war in Beijun has entered a white heat, Zhu Huan is familiar with the army, conquered more than 20 cities within ten days, except for the city north of the Yangtze River has not yet been captured, most of the land of Beijun has become his thing.
The army was expanded to 200,000 and besieged the royal city of Beijun, and the final decisive battle was about to break out.
Zhu Huan had been silently bowing his head before, and this sudden outbreak surprised everyone, especially the prince of Beijun, he really didn't expect that a small group of thieves on the border would become a big trouble, and if he knew this, he should have taken action to exterminate it as soon as possible.
The king of Beijun wrote to the court for help has arrived, and after Zhou Xie saw it, he waved his hand helplessly, he was also powerless, and the imperial capital was already out of soldiers.
At this moment, Zhou Xie has also reacted, in order to make up for his strength, he began to recruit soldiers and horses in the imperial capital, but although the imperial capital has a large population, it is all rich people, who will sacrifice their lives to fight, so it is really difficult to recruit soldiers, at least for a period of time, it is difficult to form combat effectiveness.
It rained heavily for twenty days, and in mid-August, the ground dried, but at this time Yu Yuan did not dare to attack the city.
It is reported that Beijun was lost within a month, and Zhu Huan successfully captured the royal city of Beijun, with a garrison of nearly 300,000 troops.
To the east, Sun Yu and Lei Yan have 100,000 elite horsemen. You can inhale at any time.
The most terrifying thing is in the south, Hu Ling's general Gu Li led an army of 400,000 to come, and he was stationed less than thirty miles away from Qingyang City, and he could attack at any time.
Generally speaking, the surroundings of Qingyang City have become a world of anti-thieves, and there are 900,000 troops to surround this time, if you still attack the western capital at this time, maybe the 900,000 army will immediately pounce, how to win or lose, Yu Yuan does not dare to say big things. His strength was now only 230,000, and there were still 30,000 to garrison the valley. (To be continued.) )
