After the Tuliao Emperor received the military information this time, he was not as angry as last time. The pen is www.biquge.info all because of the last time he discussed the military situation with Fan Guoshi, Fan Guoshi solemnly said at that time that these cities may not be able to stop the pace of the attack of the Dingbei garrison regiment.

Emperor Tuliao eagerly asked what to do.

The idea given by Fan Guoshi was to use the city to drag down the Dingbei garrison.

Fan Guoshi said: "The strength of the garrison regiment in the north of Nading is only 30,000, and every time it occupies a city, it will inevitably be guarded by troops, more than 3,000, and as little as 1,000. When he defeats several cities, the frontal forces will inevitably decrease. At that time, our Golden Wolf Cavalry can defeat it in one fell swoop with 100,000 superior troops! As long as the main force of the Dingbei garrison is defeated head-on, the 100,000 square meters of Tang soldiers and horses will be clowns, and there is no need to worry at all. Kill and defeat the soldiers and horses of the Tang Kingdom, and those lost cities will naturally return to His Majesty's pocket, and even hit the foot of Luodu in one fell swoop! ”

When Emperor Tuliao heard this, he felt quite reasonable, nodded, and he had the bottom in his heart.

Fan Guoshi once stayed awake all night, and analyzed the Dingbei garrison according to the general thinking of heroes competing for hegemony in the world. Fan Guoshi believed that with the strength of the Dingbei garrison, at most it would share the cities it had conquered with the Pingtang Kingdom. But it will never be divided like this between you and me. Instead, they will occupy a city together and garrison each of them.

Just like the Tuliao State, although the city is handed over to the management of the family, it is still necessary to send a Tuliao general to serve as the commander of the city, and send a small number of Tuliao soldiers and horses.

After Fan Guoshi was defeated by the Dingbei Garrison Regiment, he learned from the pain and analyzed the Dingbei Garrison Regiment in detail. Based on the available information, he judged that the Dingbei garrison was even more alienated from those families than the Tuliao people, and he always refused to cooperate with them. Based on this conclusion, Fan Guoshi deduced the reason why the strength of the Dingbei Garrison Regiment was never more than 30,000, and concluded that the strength of the Dingbei Garrison Regiment would never exceed this number.

The Dingbei garrison regiment has a high salary and an astonishing military budget, and it is already a household name in Dingbei County, so it is easy to inquire. The spies sent by Fan Guoshi naturally also sent back this important news.

Combining these two points, Fan Guoshi judged that an important reason why the strength of the Dingbei garrison regiment was always less than 30,000 was that the financial resources were insufficient! The Dingbei Garrison Regiment supports the current 30,000 elite soldiers and horses, and the total annual cost is more than 25 million silver coins. Dingbei County is just a remote county, and it is absolutely impossible for a county to spend such a huge amount of military expenditure.

The Dingbei garrison has never cooperated with the clans, so this military expenditure naturally cannot be apportioned. Even though Deputy Regiment Commander Li had a good way of making money, he had to keep his troops at 30,000 and did not dare to expand the army at will.

The strength of the Dingbei garrison regiment is insufficient, and these 30,000 soldiers and horses are not enough to support the Dingbei garrison to dominate the world, so the garrison will cooperate with the Pingtang State this time, and use the equal division of the city as a bait to induce the Pingtang State to send troops to make up for the overstretched strength of the garrison regiment.

According to the common sense of this world, Fan Guoshi's analysis is good. It's a pity that he only guessed half right, but he guessed the other half wrong. The Dingbei garrison regiment is indeed short of troops, so it will cooperate with the Pingtang State. However, the garrison cooperated with the Ping Tang Kingdom, not to dominate the world, not to make someone the emperor, not to seize the tempting supreme power.

The purpose of the garrison group's cooperation with the Pingtang State was really to extinguish the Tuliao State and return the people of the world to a peaceful day. Therefore, the garrison regiment will not conflict with the Pingtang State at all on the issue of the ownership of the occupied city. Because of the different purposes of the two parties, Li Shiluan wanted to expand the territory, but the Dingbei garrison did not care about this.

The garrison regiment determined by Fan Guoshi divided the troops to occupy the city, and the more cities were captured, the more scattered the troops became. In fact, this problem is not a problem at all for the Dingbei Garrison Regiment!

The Dingbei Garrison Regiment is sincere, but it is just to pacify the Tuliao State and return the world to peace, not to fight for hegemony in the world. This is sincere, Rao is Fan Guoshi is as resourceful as the sea, and his wit is unparalleled, but it is difficult to think of it.

Although according to the news sent back by the spies from the Pingtang Kingdom, Li Shiluan, the emperor of the Pingtang Kingdom, declared to the outside world that the Pingtang Kingdom had completely occupied six cities, and this eastward expedition to the Liao State had achieved a major victory.

But Fan Guoshi snorted at this, believing that this was just a propaganda method for Li Shiluan, the emperor of the Ping Tang Dynasty, to save face. Think about it, how is it possible, six cities, the Dingbei garrison regiment is so simply given to you? Will there be such a good thing in the world? I don't believe it!

The Pingtang State had already dispatched troops and horses to take over the six cities, and the scouts of Jiangbei (left) Province also sent a military message. However, Fan Guoshi still insisted on his own judgment, the Dingbei garrison must have garrisons in those cities, and would never give the cities to the Pingtang Kingdom in vain.

According to the Fancheng rout, the Nadingbei garrison did have 30,000 soldiers and horses, and there was no shortage of soldiers. Fan Guoshi is familiar with military books and has excellent wisdom, he thinks that this is an old trick of "fiction is real, and reality is fiction", but the deputy commander of the garrison regiment, who is good at intrigue and trickery, temporarily pulls some soldiers, changes into the military uniform of the garrison regiment, and gathers the number of people.

"Hmph, it's a mystery. When the decisive battle is held in the future, the national division will definitely personally command the Golden Wolf Cavalry again and break the Dingbei garrison! Let this garrison fall to nothing! That's how Fan Guoshi made a guarantee to Emperor Tuliao.

Li Shiluan, the emperor of the Pingtang Kingdom, was also overjoyed when he received the news of the attack on Fancheng. Several of the generals under his command were defeated at the foot of Fancheng. He lost more than 30,000 soldiers and horses at the foot of Fancheng.

As soon as the Dingbei garrison regiment came out, it immediately broke through Fancheng cleanly. Li Shiluan breathed a bad breath in his heart, and began to look forward to when the Dingbei Garrison would send a letter and ask him to send troops to take over Yandang City.

While the Tuliao State and the Pingtang Kingdom were paying attention to the battle of Fancheng, Shuangshui Jiangnan, the hero Zhu Luchen, also set their sights on Fancheng.

There is a big river at the foot of Fancheng, called Jindu River, which leads directly to the Shuangshui River. If he took the waterway, in fact, Zhu Luchen was already able to contact the Dingbei garrison regiment.

Zhu Luchen is a far-sighted hero, he stormed Shikang City to the east, and at the same time kept an eye on the general trend of the world. Now that his soldiers and horses have hit Qing'an City, this Qing'an City will be able to go down the river at that time, cooperate with the foot soldiers, join forces by land and water, and defeat Shikang City.

While sending troops to the east and west, Zhu Luchen also paid attention to the various news brought by the caravan. If there is chaos today, because of his hard work, he quickly pacified the princes of Shuangshui Jiangnan in a few years, so the land under his rule is now quite peaceful.

When the place is peaceful, there are caravans. The merchants under his rule traveled back and forth between the Pingtang Kingdom through the Shuangshui River, selling various goods while also bringing back the latest news of the Pingtang Kingdom.

Zhu Luchen knew that the Pingtang Kingdom and the legendary Dingbei garrison regiment, which was invincible in the world, joined forces to attack the Tuliao State. He also knew that the Tuliao Kingdom really couldn't stand it this time, and counting Fancheng, it had lost eight cities one after another.

Zhu Luchen's attention to these news naturally has his purpose. Don't look at him yet, he is still not king, but he is also a hero who aspires to the world. Ping Tang Kingdom, in his heart, is the same as the Tuliao Kingdom, they are potential competitors.

Zhu Luchen believes that the Tuliao State is still his number one enemy, and the Pingtang State is conquering the Tuliao State, and he is also fighting Shikang City, which is occupied by the Tuliao army on the East Road. So for the time being, he has a common enemy with the Pingtang Kingdom.

Therefore, as soon as Zhu Luchen learned that the Dingbei garrison had captured Fancheng, he sent envoys to Fancheng.

This is a gesture of goodwill, but also a temptation. After all, for Zhu Luchen, although he had heard the name of the Dingbei Garrison for a long time, he had never actually come into contact with it.

When Zhu Luchen's envoys arrived, the Dingbei garrison was resting with the soldiers of the Pingtang State, and by the way, the Fancheng naval army was reorganized to prepare for the next attack.

Since Fancheng was completely breached by the garrison in just a few days, the naval army of Fancheng had to surrender before it had time to play its role.

After getting this relatively well-preserved naval army, Pharmacist Li was overjoyed and suggested to Commander Xiao Liu and Li Deyi that this naval army be adapted on the spot and let it be used by us.

Commander Xiao Liu nodded in agreement, and completely handed over the command of the naval army to Pharmacist Li. There were originally 30,000 sailors in Fancheng, and after the city was broken, more than 10,000 sailors fled, and the remaining families in Fancheng couldn't run, so they could only surrender honestly.

With the permission of Commander Xiao Liu, Pharmacist Li happily reorganized the remaining 13,000 naval troops on the spot, and after consulting His Majesty the Emperor of Luodu, it was the establishment of the Eastern Naval Army.

Li Shiluan received Pharmacist Li's recital in Luodu, and when he saw that he had obtained more than 10,000 sailors for nothing, he couldn't close his mouth with joy, and even couldn't help laughing in front of all the courtiers.

These more than 10,000 sailors are not just the captured foot soldiers before.

Having a navy means having a lot of ships! According to Pharmacist Li's report, because the defenders of Fancheng were defeated too quickly, the navy army did not have time to react at all, and even forgot to burn the warships when they retreated in a hurry, and all of them were captured.

There are three large building ships, more than 50 other large and small warships, and nearly 100 ships. In the recital, Pharmacist Li also specifically pointed out that he also captured a Pingzhou Taizu pointed bottom fish-bellied keel soft sail battleship.

These warships alone were worth no less than 20 million silver coins. Li Shiluan felt at this time that it was really a wise decision to unite with the Dingbei garrison, and this was a sure deal.

Especially the Pingzhou Taizu pointed bottom fish-bellied keel soft sail battleship, its value is incalculable. There are very few craftsmen left in this world who can build this kind of warship, and there are only two such warships in the entire Pingtang Kingdom, and now there is actually another one! The value of this boat alone is around 10 million silver coins!

Moreover, with this battleship in hand, Li Shiluan was able to send craftsmen to boldly carry out disassembly and assembly research, and remake this kind of battleship as soon as possible.

This kind of warship is said to have been built 600 years ago, when the founding Taizu of the Ping Zhou Dynasty specially ordered craftsmen to make it in order to expedition to the sea. It is rumored that Taizu, the founder of the Ping Zhou Dynasty, personally designed the first pointed bottom fish-bellied keel soft sail battleship.

This type of warship has many advantages over traditional warships, it is fast and agile in turning around. Due to the use of the keel design, the underside of the boat is sharpened like a blade, and the cross section is chamfered. Boats are sturdier than ordinary flat-bottomed boats, have a deeper draft, and are more resistant to wind and waves than flat-bottomed boats.

It is said that the flagship of the founding Taizu of the Ping Zhou Dynasty was this kind of sharp-bottomed fish-bellied keel battleship. The battleship has three floors, each layer has 60 giant crossbows on both sides, the height of the ship is more than 3 zhang, the hull is huge, and the length is more than 20 zhang. The whole ship has nine masts and twelve mainsails, and there are countless small sails.

The founding ancestor of the Ping Zhou Dynasty personally named it a "treasure ship". On the day of the construction of this treasure ship, the founding ancestor of Pingzhou said excitedly: "My journey is the sea of stars!" Later, he personally boarded the ship and made seven expeditions to the sea.
