Five days later, in the Chamber of Secrets.

Ye Xiong is reporting to Wang Xu on the work of Jinyiwei at the moment.

Ye Xiong said: "Lord, Qingyuan County has been captured by Hu Ling and Miao Zang, but Hu Ling is too cunning, he is unwilling to share a county with Miao Zang, so he drove Miao Zang to the ground of Nanjun, and promised that if Miao Zang attacked Nanjun, he would send troops to help, Miao Zang had no choice but to agree." ”

Wang Xu took a deep breath: "Okay, I didn't expect this Hu Ling to be so powerful, I always thought he was a timid and afraid person, but judging from his achievements, he can be called a generation of heroes." ”

Ye Xiong said: "It was ten days before Hu Ling captured Qingyuan County, after he drove Miao Zang away, he immediately integrated the 50,000 soldiers of the original Qingyuan County, plus his original hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses, now his army has reached 230,000, and the counties of Qingyuan have been looted by him, and the gold, silver, money and grain in the royal city are piled up; However, his strength is strong, and the people suffer, and Qingyuan County is now full of displaced people, and most of the people are homeless and miserable. ”

"The people are precious, the community is secondary, and the monarch is light; Hu Ling ruined the people like this, it was difficult to achieve great things. Wang Xu said.

Wang Xu took out a map, this map is a map of the whole country drawn by the Military Aircraft Department, the nine counties in the world are among them, looked at Nanjun and Qingyuan County, Wang Xu smiled: "If I guess correctly, Hu Ling should clean up Miao Zang next, as long as Miao Zang takes Nanjun, it will be his death, and Hu Ling will be eliminated after all." ”

Ye Xiong said with a smile: "The lord is really far-reaching, and what he said is very reasonable; Nanjun and Qingyuan County border, which is Hu Ling's rear, how can he let Miao Zang stare behind him, it is only a matter of time before the two of them turn against each other; However, I am afraid that I will not be able to wait for the two of them to turn against each other, and they will have to face the crusade of the imperial army. ”

Ye Xiong continued: "The latest battle report has come from Beijun, Lu Yang has nothing to do now, all the people in the city have been pushed out of the city by him to defend against the enemy, and his current strength is less than 50,000. is trapped in the inner city, but Yu Yuan attacks fiercely every day, and continues like this. In less than half a month, Lu Yang will die! ”

Wang Xu frowned, if Lu Yang died, then Yu Yuan should come to attack the Western Capital, and then it would be troublesome. If you want to attack Hexi County, it will be even more difficult, and you may even be in danger from the enemy.

"How many soldiers and horses does Yu Yuan's department still have?"

Ye Xiong smiled: "He also suffered heavy losses, he attacked the city for a month, most of the infantry were killed, and there were about 250,000 troops left, plus the tens of thousands of people in Qingyuan County, there were less than 300,000 soldiers who could fight." ”

300,000! This number is also terrifying, with Wang Xu's current strength, he can't fight with him. In addition, there are more than 100,000 troops of Ma Lan fifty miles away, and the elite soldiers of the imperial court are fighting, and there is only death!

Lu Yang is the end, if he doesn't have a clay pot weapon, I'm afraid he has been wiped out by Ma Lan, which Wang Xu knows very well.

Wang Xu has been listening quietly, constantly thinking in his head.

Ye Xiong said: "In addition, the Jinyi guards of all counties have taken action to instigate the homeless people and bandits to rebel, and the effect is very good, and now there are countless teams that rebel. In particular, Wu County and Bao'an County, there were as many as a dozen rebel teams in the two counties, all of which were capturing the city, and the government was sending troops to suppress it all day long. But as soon as they eliminated one, the other rose again. ”

Ye Xiong finished reporting all the work, and immediately said: "Lord, I don't know when we will attack Hexi County?" ”

Wang Xu pinched his fingers and counted the time, now the warships should all be built, and Zhao Long's sailors have also been trained for more than a month. Although it cannot be compared with the elite navy, it can only be like this, whether it succeeds or not, it depends on the will of God.

The reason why Wang Xu dared to let Zhao Long fight against the 50,000 elites of Hexi County with 20,000 recruits was not how capable Zhao Long was, but that Wang Xu himself had a way, and he believed that with the help of clay pots, he was much more sure of the water war.

"Give me an order to Zhao Long, let him prepare the warship in five days, and then my army will go to Xiaoting Lake to board the ship, and then gallop into the Yangtze River and take Hexi County directly."

"No." Ye Xiong arched his hand excitedly, and then exited the secret room.

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

East County.

Jinyi Wei Dong Lian walked to a mansion gate that day, and two big characters 'Yuan Mansion' were written on this mansion door.

The Yuan family is the largest Wang family in Dongjun, and its head Yuan Tianlai is even the prime minister of Dongjun, if he agrees to persuade Yang Ming to rebel, then the matter will be half the success.

Dong Lian smiled and walked in, but at this time, the two guards stopped him: "Go away, Lord Yuan is not a guest today." ”

Dong Lian smiled slightly, took out twenty taels of silver from his cuffs, handed them to the two, and said, "Trouble the two little brothers to go in and say that General Huo Yan asked to see him." ”

Huo Yan, the commander of the Dongjun Naval Army, is equivalent to Wang Xu's Metropolitan Governor of Zhao Long, in charge of all the naval forces in Dongjun, and is in a high position; Now Huo Yan has been persuaded by Dong Lian and promised to persuade Yang Ming to rebel.

The two Xiao Si's eyes lit up, and they happily took the silver, and then said: "The adults will be here later, and the little ones will go in and report." ”

Not long after, Xiao Si came out and welcomed Dong Lian into the Yuan Mansion very respectfully.

Yuan Tianlai was fifty-three years old at the time, he was an upright person, an honest official, and an excellent official reputation, and he was a two-generation old minister, because of this, Yang Ming relied on him very much; Yuan Tian said that he would listen to most of them.

Seeing that a person was sitting upright in the lobby, Dong Lian walked in quickly, and when he came to Yuan Tianlai, he saluted respectfully: "I've seen Lord Yuan." ”

Yuan Tianlai frowned and said, "The old man and General Huo have never had much contact, why are you here today?" ”

Dong Lian smiled slightly and said, "Lord Yuan, you are also a guest under General Huo's account, is this your way of hospitality?" ”

Yuan Tianlai waved his hand impatiently, motioning for Dong Lian to sit down, and then he asked someone to bring two cups of tea.

"Now I can talk about it."

Dong Lian took a sip of tea unhurriedly, and then said: "Lord Yuan, General Huo asked me to ask, what do you think about the imperial court asking Dongjun to hand over double the gold, silver, money and grain?" ”

Yuan Tianlai frowned and pondered, he really didn't understand what Huo Yan meant, as far as he knew, Huo Yan never cared about internal affairs, Huo Yan's daily task was to suppress thieves, nothing else, why would he send a doorman to visit suddenly?

"Then what does General Huo think about this?"

Dong Lian said directly: "Our general said that the court is too deceitful, and this is a blatant contempt for the civil and military forces of my Dongjun, so the general wants to advise the prince and send troops to conquer the imperial capital!" ”

Yuan Tianlai suddenly got up and exclaimed: "What? Daring! ”

He was indeed taken aback by Dong Lian's words, and dared to threaten to rebel, isn't this looking for death.

Dong Lian smiled and said: "Lord Yuan, what are you doing so surprised, are there still few rebels in the world now?" We have thousands of miles of fertile soil in Dongjun and hundreds of thousands of soldiers, so why can't we make a law? ”

Yuan Tianlai flicked his sleeve robe and said angrily: "What you said today, the old man is all about you joking, please don't send it." ”

Dong Lian said: "General Huo said that if you want the prince to agree to send troops, you have to write a letter to the prime minister, so..." ”

"Someone is here to see you off!" Yuan Tianlai snorted, interrupted Dong Lian's words, and walked out of the guest hall angrily.

Dong Lian was helpless and was driven out of the Yuan Mansion by the two Xiao Si.

Persuasion fails! (To be continued.) )
