After Jinyiwei's search, saltpeter has basically disappeared, and even if Hu Ling gets this thing, it is impossible to build it in large quantities, so it is a wise choice to take it out and make a lot of money.

Gao Quan continued to bid unhurriedly, 135 million!

This is also his bottom line, Nanjun's assets are about 200 million, and all the money collected in the past few years has been used in the past two days.

It used to cost 20 million, but now it is 135 million, a total of more than 155 million, so that there is not much left of South County's assets.

"135 million, for the first time!"

"One hundred and thirty-five million, the second time!"

"One hundred and thirty-five million, the third time!"

The wooden hammer in Wang Xu's hand slammed on the desk: "Congratulations to the bidder No. 859 for obtaining the manufacturing method of the secret weapon at a price of 135 million, everyone applauds!" ”

zhangsheng is another piece.

The friends were stunned.

........

The large-scale auction in the Western Capital has finally come to an end so far, and everyone left happily.

In the month that followed, the Western Capital was in a state of joy.

For the kind of transactions of hundreds of thousands, huo less than five million, the formalities will be completed within three days, and the money will be paid with one hand and the delivery with the other; As for Xiang Gaoquan, Cai Wenzhuo, and Wang Xiaoer, they can only deliver the goods after they ship the money.

It wasn't until a month later that the transaction was completed, and Wang Xu calculated that the auction in the Western Capital had a total income of 220 million!

Oh my God, I'm afraid the Western Capital is the richest man in the world!

The matter of the auction in the Western Capital has come to an end, and the Western Capital has resumed normal operation.

...........

Early spring in February.

This year the war began again.

According to the report of Jinyiwei, on the first day of the second lunar month, the northern army of Bao'an County and the southern army of Wu County launched a fierce attack on the imperial court forces at the same time!

Let's talk about the Northern Army first, plus the army that was left before. Later, the 200,000 recruits added, a total of 450,000 troops, went straight to the hinterland of Bao'an County, and Qin Shuang. He also went on an expedition, and he still had hundreds of secret weapons in his hand, which could be used as a starting point, especially when capturing the city, he could blow up the city walls.

And in Kure County. Hu Ling's attack was even more ferocious, they had already captured the county seat of Wu County last year, and at the beginning of this year, the newly mobilized 500,000 elites were brazenly marching eastward, they had hundreds of trebuchets in their hands, and their military strength was greatly enhanced, and the army of Yu Yuan was defeated and retreated.

These news were successively transmitted to the Western Capital by Jinyiwei, Wang Xu was interested in the war department of Wu County, and he was now more concerned about the war in Bao'an County. Because it is directly related to whether the Western Capital can successfully capture the imperial capital!

"Call me Mr. Calligraphy and Painting."

In the study, Wang Xu said to Zhang Meng.

Half an hour later, Zhang Meng brought Han calligraphy and painting from Wenyuan Pavilion.

"The calligraphy and painting are here, what is the matter with the lord?"

Wang Xu frowned and said: "Sir, do you have any strategies to help the Northern Army, let Cai Wenzhuo capture Bao'an County quickly, or put pressure on the imperial court, so that Yang Mingyue realizes the danger, and then withdraws from the imperial capital." ”

"If it drags on like this. We consume a lot of food on the front line. ”

Hearing this, Han Shushu nodded: "What the lord said is extremely true. ”

"The imperial court has invested more than 600,000 elites in the battlefield of Bao'an County, and it is indeed not easy for us to defeat them."

He thought about it. "If we want the Northern Army to win, we can't help them unless we can help them." ”

Wang Xu said: "Our troops have to let go of the east, and it seems that they can't support the war in Bao'an County." ”

"And the Western Capital, although there are 300,000 soldiers, can be regarded as elite, but the soldiers who have just been subdued. Can you participate in large-scale conquests? If something goes wrong, it's not good, so the army of the Western Capital can't move. ”

What Wang Xu said is not unreasonable, and Han calligraphy and painting fell into contemplation.

After a while, Han Shushu said: "If the lord wants to end the war, he has a plan, and he will definitely be able to force the imperial soldiers in the imperial capital to retreat, but in this way, we have to take a little risk." ”

"Sir, but it doesn't hurt to say that." Wang Xu waved his hand.

Han Shushu said: "First, transfer the 80,000 troops on the front line to the battlefield of Bao'an County, and let Liao Yun strictly guard against Languan; second, let Li Zhi send 40,000 troops to reinforce Qin Shuang; Third, Lei Yan of Hexi County sent 50,000 iron horses to Bao'an County, and fourth, Zhao Long sent 40,000 sailors down the river to attack the Bao'an County Navy Barracks; These four armies came out together, with a total of more than 200,000 troops! If the imperial court learns, it will definitely withdraw from the imperial capital and protect the Yangtze River. ”

Wang Xu thought about it carefully, it was true, if he marched according to the Han calligraphy and painting, the imperial court would definitely be worried that the Yangtze River barrier would be breached, and there would be no way to retreat.

You can give it a try.

But Wang Xu was very hesitant, as soon as he came, the rear was extremely unstable, first of all, Hexi County was in danger of being entered by the people of the Snow Region, of course, this probability is very low, because the people of the Snow Region have surrendered for several years, and Meng Jian and others are also in the Snow Region, it should not appear in this situation, but once this kind of thing happens, the consequences are very serious.

And Li Zhi here, if the captives in the Western Capital make trouble, Wang Xu will not even have a lair. Of course, this probability is also very low, because these 300,000 captives have become real soldiers in the Western Capital, and have been trained for several months, and they are completely ready to fight, all of which are led by the people of Wuyingdian.

And the front line is even more dangerous, as soon as Sun Yu's army withdraws, the cities captured by a thousand will all fall into the hands of the imperial court, and the east of Languan belongs to the imperial court! That's dozens of county seats.

The consequences are severe!

........

"The lord doesn't have to worry, as long as we attack quickly and with great momentum, the imperial court will inevitably move the capital, and when the time comes, we can let Li Zhi return to the western capital, and the big thing can be decided!"

As soon as Han Shushu finished speaking, Wang Xu fell into deep thought!

..........

He didn't rush to answer Han Shushu, just nodded and asked him to return to Wenyuan Pavilion.

Three days later, Wang Xu finally made up his mind, he was ready to gamble!

But he can't blindly gamble, he also wants Beijun to send some more troops, and strive to be foolproof.

Now there are 450,000 troops on the front line, if Cai Wenzhuo sends another 100,000, plus Wang Xu increases his troops by 200,000, it will be more than 700,000, and there are tens of thousands of sailors attacking the Yangtze River line in Bao'an County, and the imperial court will definitely be powerful.

Even if the imperial court is reluctant to move the imperial capital, I am afraid that it will have to carefully consider the matter of moving the capital, and besides, Han Shushu also said that Yang Mingyue has always marched cautiously, and when he learned that there were 700,000 enemy troops behind his ass, he would definitely not be able to sleep, and the relocation was inevitable, just looking at the emperor's attitude, as long as he won one or two battles, the emperor would have to compromise!
