"Summoned Zhao Long, to defend the mainstay, until the last resort, not to enter the army without authorization, the area along the river is facing the autumn harvest, and there can be no accidents in the grain."

...........

After a few more commands, Wang Xu announced the dismissal of the meeting, and everyone retreated.

Han Shushu didn't leave, he followed Wang Xu to the back study.

When he came to the study and sat down, Wang Xu frowned: "What's the matter with calligraphy and painting?" You don't want to take a concubine again, do you? ”

"Hehe... King Wen laughed. Han Shushu was slightly embarrassed and smiled.

After sorting out his thoughts, Han Shushu said: "King Wen, why don't you let General Zhao let go of the fight, if we can defeat the 50,000 naval army of the imperial court, we will just cross the Yangtze River and reoccupy Guxi County." ”

Wang Xu said: "Hexi County has just stabilized, and I don't want to start a war with the imperial court at this time." ”

Han Shushu shook his head, he had been thinking about this matter for a long time, even if Ma Lan didn't call, he wanted to suggest that Wang Xu fight across the river.

Han Shushu said: "King Wen, if we can defeat Malan and occupy Guxi County, there are two benefits, I don't know if King Wen wants to hear it?" ”

Wang Xu nodded and motioned for him to continue.

Han Shushu said: "First, after occupying Guxi County, we can have a better deal with Hu Ling's department, and we don't have to worry about food in the future, and King Wen has two counties, and his strength will increase greatly." ”

"Second, after our army defeated Ma Lan and won Guxi County, Yu Yuan's 250,000 army will become a lone army, as long as we join forces with Hu Ling and defeat Yu Yuan, then the imperial court will no longer dare to underestimate us in the future, and will not easily raise troops to attack; Because King Wen and Hu Ling could support each other, they had to scruple about it. In this way, Hexi and Guxi can also get peace for several years, and King Wen can use this to vigorously develop commerce, agriculture, and other strong strength, and then map the Central Plains. ”

"Third, whether it is a literati. They are still ambitious heroes, they are all waiting and watching at the moment, and they don't know whether it is better to be loyal to the court and make contributions, or to serve King Wen and oppose the court. If King Wen can recapture Guxi County again, then these scholars will come one after another, and then King Wen will have a lot of talents, and he will be able to succeed. ”

Han Shushu finished speaking in one breath, and then looked at Wang Xu intently. He hoped that Wang Xu would adopt it, because this was the first large-scale combat strategy he had offered. Moreover, he also has several strategies for attacking Gusi County, and he is confident enough to defeat Malan and recapture Gusi!

Wang Xu took a deep breath, Han Shushu finished everything, this is indeed a good strategy, but Wang Xu can't agree, because this strategy is just a pie on paper, and it can't be realized at all.

I searched for it on the desk. Wang Xu slowly picked up a fold, handed it to Han Shushu and said: "Look at it, this is the fold that the household has just put on it, we are about to run out of grain, whether we can hold out until the autumn harvest of grain is still a question, how to go out?" ”

Looking at the surplus grain written by the Shangshu of the household department, Han Shushu's heart suddenly cooled in half, with the current state, he really can't go on the expedition, that is to say. Such a good opportunity can only be deeply missed.

"Alas, what a pity!" Han Shushu couldn't help but sigh. This plan was something he had thought about for a long time, but he didn't expect it to fall short.

Return the fold to the desk. He made a deep bow to Wang Xu: "Retire from your humble position." ”

Wang Xu sat down and took a sip of the tea handed over by Xiangyue, and then thought about it seriously, what Han Shushu just said is indeed very good, and with his current strength, he can completely fight with Ma Lan, and the chance of victory is still very great.

It is only necessary to transfer back Lei Yan, who is stationed at Xiping Pass. Why not be afraid of the officers and soldiers of the court; However, this lack of food is indeed a problem, even if it is a quick battle, it will take a month to occupy Gusi County, and in this month, where will the food come from?

There is also the final point that Han Shushu did not say, if Yu Yuan is allowed to eliminate Hu Ling, the rebellious forces will be greatly reduced, and the morale of the imperial court will be high, which is especially unfavorable to Hexi County, maybe Yu Yuan will clean up next by himself.

If he traded with Hu Ling after occupying Guxi County and sold a large number of war horses to Hu Ling, then it would not be so easy for Yu Yuan to destroy Hu Ling, maybe he didn't need to make his own move, and Yu Yuan would be difficult to compete with Hu Ling.

Wang Xu is entangled, there are many benefits, but they can't be realized.

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

King Castle of Cheongwon County.

Hu Ling was full of ambition during this time, he finally tasted the taste of being an emperor, no, it should be said that it was more majestic than being an emperor.

The emperor has many scruples, but he is unscrupulous, all the houses in Qingyuan County have been burned by him, grain, gold and silver, all looted, beauties are changed one a day, he sleeps until he collapses, and now he is really powerful!

The number of troops reached 400,000! Although they are all new recruits, after months of training, he believes that his combat strength must be good, and there is no problem in self-preservation.

gold, silver, grain, and so on; Qingyuan County was originally a big county, especially rich, with a population of millions, and none of the big families during the period was not wealthy, and the grain in the warehouse was piled up, but now, all of them have moved to Wangcheng.

In the main hall, dozens of Wenchen generals were accompanying Hu Ling to spend all their days drinking, and everyone seemed to have forgotten Yu Yuan's army hundreds of miles away, because Yu Yuan had not come for a long time during this time, and there was not even a little movement, Hu Ling also sent someone to check, but what he got was Yu Yuan's shortage of food and grass, which made Hu Ling feel that he was more confident in defeating Yu Yuan, but he would not take the initiative to attack, because the elite of the imperial court was indeed powerful, which was undeniable!

Dozens of beauties danced in the center of the main hall, Hu Ling hugged left and right, and said with a sudden smile: "Everyone, tell me, is the emperor sitting in the imperial palace as comfortable as us?" ”

"No," the crowd laughed.

Everyone was holding a beautiful woman in their arms, and they were all very excited.

However, among these people, the high power is excepted, he is not interested in beautiful women, he has been planning everything for Hu Ling, if it weren't for him, Hu Ling would not be where he is today.

Gao Quan said: "Lord, yesterday the spies came to report that the imperial court had already delivered 100,000 deniers of grain and grass to Yu Yuan, and it was expected that Yu Yuan would attack in a few days, and his subordinates agreed that the defense of the city should be strengthened." ”

Hu Ling waved his hand and said, "Sir, you can arrange this matter." ”

Gao Quan nodded, he admired Hu Ling very much, everything depends on him, his plans can be said to have been all agreed, as a strategist, he has nothing to ask for, his only wish is to see Hu Ling become stronger step by step.

General Gu Li said: "Lord, the last general thinks that now that we are strong and strong, the lord can be called the emperor, and we will advise the lord to be the emperor!" ”

As soon as Gu Li's words fell, the other generals in the hall all stood up and persuaded one after another, they knew very well in their hearts that as long as Hu Ling was the emperor, they would all be rewarded, which was good for everyone, just like when Wang Xu was called king.
