"Newspaper... Lord, the royal city urgent paperwork has arrived. A Feather Forest Army ran in quickly.

Wang Xu was taken aback, and immediately took the document, there were only two short sentences on the document, judging from the handwriting, it was written by Jia Hui: Hu Ling's envoy has arrived, please return to the city quickly!

Handing over the documents to Han Shushu, Wang Xu said: "Guess the calligraphy and painting, Hu Ling sent a messenger to come, what is the so-called thing?" ”

Han Shushu smiled and said: "I must want the lord to send troops to help him, the lord doesn't have to pay attention, our Hexi County has just stabilized, and we can't send troops." ”

Wang Xu shook his head, he had already obtained the secret protection of the Jinyi Guard of Qingyuan County, Hu Ling recruited troops in Qingyuan County, and now he has expanded his strength to 400,000; At the same time, Yu Yuan's 250,000 army was short of food and grass, and Hu Ling had the upper hand, how could he come to ask for help.

Although he can't resist Yu Yuan now, he is not afraid of Yu Yuan; Furthermore, Hexi and Qingyuan only see a Guxi County sandwiched, how can they send troops to help?

"What the hell is going on, we'll find out when we go back and ask." Wang Xu said.

Han Shushu nodded.

The next day, Wang Xu, Zhang Meng, and Han Shushu rushed to Wangcheng with 3,000 Yulin troops.

.................

Bao'an-gun.

At this time, Bao'an County was completely submerged by the war, and Yang Yue, the general of Beijun, led an army of 200,000 to the south, singing all the way to defeat most of the city, and the morale of all the soldiers was unprecedentedly high.

However, the royal city was almost unable to hold on, and only tens of thousands of troops were beaten by Yang Yue, and they were all newly recruited later.

Ao Yuntian, the general of the imperial court, sent troops half a month ago, and at this time he was rushing to this place with an army of 500,000 people, and set up camp fifty miles south of the royal city, and the camp crossed two counties and covered an area of hundreds of miles. It's huge!

In addition to Yang Yue and Ao Yuntian, there are not only these three forces in Bao'an County, there are more than a dozen other small rebel teams, with tens of thousands of people. There are thousands of few.

The once prosperous Bao'an County was completely destroyed at this time, and many people were displaced and left their hometowns, and the Central Plains was full of blood. Corpses are everywhere.

After receiving the news of Ao Yuntian's personal conquest, Yang Yue led the army back a hundred miles, and at the same time sent a letter to Beijun asking for help, and also gave a military order to Huo Yan in the north, asking him to bring the army to help in the war.

The results of the flames in the North County can be described as abundant, he only has an army of 50,000 troops, but in just one month, he has captured as much as half of the cities in the North County, and the prince of the North County has not said a word about this, so he can only hide in the royal city and worry.

In fact, it's no wonder that the prince of Beijun is here. He had a battle with Lu Yang before, and then when he stormed the royal city, he spent a large number of soldiers, and at this moment, there were less than 100,000 elite soldiers left in the royal city, and 80,000 of these 100,000 were new soldiers, how could he dare to fight with Huo Yan's tiger and wolf army.

Five days later, Yang Ming gave Huo Yan an order, asking him to take all the soldiers and horses to Bao'an County to help in the battle, and at the same time, he added 50,000 troops to Yang Yue, and pressed all the soldiers and horses in Dongjun.

300,000 VS 500,000. A big battle is about to start in Bao'an County, and this information was quickly transmitted to Hexi Wangcheng by Jinyiwei, Wang Xu could only hehe, the more the enemy fought. The more beneficial it is to him, it is best to lose both, wait for his Hexi County to develop, and then cross the Yangtze River and dominate the world.

...............

Hexi County, the main hall of the council.

Wang Xu, who was on the throne of the High Power Dynasty, made a deep sigh. smiled and said: "Little Gaoquan, meet King Wen." ”

Gao Quan this person, Wang Xu knows, he is the military advisor next to Hu Ling, the last time this person came to Guxi County for help, Wang Xu waved his hand, and said: "No courtesy, Lord Gao is here, what is the so-called matter?" ”

Gao Quan said: "King Huiwen, my lord wants to negotiate a deal with King Wen, I wonder if King Wen is interested?" ”

"What deal?" Wang Xu's face was expressionless.

Gao Quan said: "Use grain for war horses!" ”

As soon as Gao Quan's voice fell, everyone in the hall was overjoyed, especially Hubu Shangshu Wenqing, the corners of his mouth were smiling crookedly, he was worried about food all day long, but he didn't expect someone to send food to the door.

Wang Xu was also happy, but after thinking about it, he was bald, because Hexi County and Qingyuan County are thousands of miles apart, and there is a Guxi County between them, and I am afraid that this transaction will not be completed.

Moreover, Guxi County is now garrisoned by Ma Lan's 200,000 troops, and is waiting for an opportunity to attack; As for Qingyuan County, there is also Yu Yuan's army guarding it, and if you want to exchange war horses for food, the chance is almost equal to zero.

Gao Quan seemed to see Wang Xu's worries, and then said with a smile: "As long as King Wen agrees, there is no need to worry about transportation, we will send the grain to Hexi County, and then bring the war horse back." ”

Wen Qing couldn't bear it anymore, and said, "Dare to ask Lord Gao, how many war horses do you want to change?" ”

Gao Quan said: "Twenty thousand! I don't know if King Wen has it? ”

Everyone in the hall shook their heads in disappointment, it took half a day to get 20,000 war horses, how much food can this be exchanged for? For the current Hexi County, it is undoubtedly a drop in the bucket.

Wang Xu said: "Lord Gao, as far as I know, Hu Ling now has more than 400,000 troops, but his cavalry is not even 10,000, why don't you exchange a little more?" ”

Gao Quan was taken aback, he felt that there was no secret in front of Wang Xu, but he didn't expect that even the strength of his army was known so clearly.

Gao Quan was also a little embarrassed, and said bitterly: "King Wen, if you want to transport 20,000 war horses to Qingyuan County, it can be said that it is even more difficult, you must enter Guxi County from the upper reaches of the Yangtze River, and then transfer from Guxi County to Qingyuan County. We can only run at night and hide during the day, so we can't do this for months; The number of 20,000 is already the maximum. ”

In fact, there is something wrong with Gao Quan's words, his 20,000 troops are now hidden at the border of Guxi County, once the 20,000 war horses are transported to the upper reaches of the Yangtze River, 20,000 soldiers will turn over and return to Qingyuan County in half a month at most, of course, if there is no enemy in between, if it is discovered by the enemy, it is also very dangerous.

In order to hide these 20,000 soldiers in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River in Guxi County, Hu Ling spent a lot of effort and took a great risk.

Wen Qing said suddenly: "I don't know how much grain your lord plans to use in exchange for these 20,000 war horses?" ”

Gao Quan blurted out: "Thirty thousand deniers!" ”

Wang Xu was not interested, and walked out of the hall directly, what is the matter, he said that it was only 40,000 deniers of grain for half a day, what is the use, it is better to do a good job of the farmland, and when the autumn harvest comes, at least 100,000 denier of grain can be bought.

Gao Quan was puzzled, and he didn't know why Wang Xu left the hall.

Wen Qing didn't think the amount of food was small, and said with a smile: "Lord Gao, is your quantity too low, you see, King Wen is angry and left." ”

"Otherwise, 40,000 deniers of grain, what do you think?"

...............

The two bargained, and finally sold for 40,000 deniers, although these grains are not much, but they can also respond to emergencies, at least Zhao Long's troops do not have to worry about food for half a year, which is also very good.

After discussing it, Wen Qing immediately handed over the matter to the Ministry of War, and Huang Quan led people to the horse farm to get 20,000 high-quality war horses, and then sent Gao Quan to walk towards the Yangtze River together.

It is also very difficult for Gao Quan to bring these 20,000 war horses back to Qingyuan County smoothly, from Wangcheng to Anlan City is more than 1,500 miles, and then enter the Yangtze River and go upstream for 500 miles, and land from the border of Guxi County, where the pontoon bridge has been temporarily erected, and after entering Guxi County, and then go to Qingyuan County, which is more than 2,000 miles in between, in total, a total of 4,000 miles!

It's almost time to catch up with the Long March! But Hu Ling had to do this, although he had a lot of food and a lot of soldiers, but there were no real elite soldiers, and the cavalry was even less pitiful, if you want to be really strong, you must buy war horses, this is the only way to strengthen yourself.
