Western capital.

"My lord, Yu Yuan led his troops to retreat to Beijun, and Hu Ling's general Gu Li sent someone to ask if he was in pursuit." Li Zhidao. He had just received a scorn from Gu Li.

Yu Yuan was directly scared away, which was unexpected by Wang Xu, it seems that the imperial court is really weak, and the courage to fight against the thieves is not there, but this is good, Yu Yuan is gone, and Guxi County can be completely recovered.

"No need to chase, let them go where they came from."

"In addition, let Sun Yu and Lei Yan withdraw to the Western Capital, and there is no need to garrison Huijing County."

Han Shushu chuckled and said: "Lord, Gu Li came to the rescue thousands of miles away, according to etiquette, the lord should be hospitable, just let them go back like this?" Seems a little out of place. ”

According to etiquette, not only should you receive Gu Li, but you should also reward the three armies, but where did Wang Xu get so much food, let alone reward the three armies, even his own hundreds of thousands of people are about to run out of food.

"Let's let them go back, just say that when I recover Guxi County, there will be a generous gift."

The so-called generous gifts, of course, are war horses, war horses are more precious than yellow turbans, silver, and grain to Hu Ling, but for Wang Xu, they are at their fingertips, Hexi County is everywhere, and the only thing that gives Wang Xu a headache is food.

The autumn harvest only bought 200,000 military rations, which could only make the army only a few months, and it was almost impossible to grow stronger.

Now Wang Xu is a little envious of Hu Ling, according to Jinyiwei, that guy is recruiting troops and horses every day, and it is not difficult for the 900,000 army to nourish it, and several large granaries in Qingyuan County and Nanjun add up, which is enough for millions of deniers of grain and grass! What a envy of people.

Hu Ling's matter has been dealt with, and the next thing is to recover the old West County, there are more than 20 county seats in the ancient West County, east to Jingliao County, west has been recovered, and the cities that have not been recovered want to be in their own hands. One side is stabbed with change.

"Calligraphy and painting, let you write the edict, so that the county officials of Guxi County will come to the western capital to worship and be willing to surrender. This king entrusts me with heavy use, and I don't force it if I don't want to, let them wait for my sword. ”

Han Shushu smiled: "Don't worry, no one is unwilling, and it won't take half a month." All the prefectural orders will come to the Western Capital. ”

...........

Sure enough, when King Wen's edict was issued, the county orders of each county were everywhere, and they rushed to the western capital, these county orders had taken refuge in Wang Xu before, but Ma Lan followed Ma Lan again as soon as he came, which could be regarded as a rebellion, but Wang Xu didn't blame them, even he withdrew, how could a small county order dare to resist Ma Lan.

Ten days later. All the county orders arrived in the western capital, and even the farthest Jingliao County county orders arrived, and Wang Xu met them in the Chengqian Palace.

It's still the old way, kill some, and then keep some, and leave a heavy reward, no surprise, in the end, all the county orders are respectful and fearful of Wang Xu, and grateful to Dade.

Twenty-two county commanders killed five people, and the five people killed were made up by Wenyuan Pavilion.

Until this time. Gusi County can be regarded as completely recovered; Originally, many policies were to be formulated and issued by the Military Aircraft Department, but Wang Xu couldn't help it, and when the county commanders returned to their respective counties, he asked Han Shushu to write a notice. As before, taxes were exempted, many old criminal laws were abolished, and new laws were enacted.

Gu Li has already led the army back to Qingyuan County, although there is a little complaint, but Wang Xu has already spoken. He didn't break the law, but he didn't expect that the dignified King Wen would be so ignorant of etiquette.

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

A new day.

"My lord, Cai Wenzhuo, the military advisor under Zhu Huan's account, came to pay a visit with a generous gift and asked to meet King Wen." Han Shushu said.

Wang Xu waved his hand and said with a smile: "Go, follow me to the Chengqian Palace." ”

Not long after, Wang Xu came to Chengqian Palace, Cai Wenzhuo was already waiting here, he was ordered by Zhu Huan to come to repair, in fact, it was also Cai Wenzhuo's meaning.

Now that Wang Xu and Hu Ling are united, Zhu Huan wants to gain a foothold in Beijun, only by relying on these two major forces, only when the three join forces, can they resist the imperial court, and there is another point, the Beijun region is separated by a Yangtze River, and there is a large area of Beijun territory north of the Yangtze River, where the vast Beijun prairie is connected, and it must be conquered immediately, so that it can completely control Beijun, and then increase its strength.

"Master Cai, where did you come from today?" Wang Xu smiled.

Cai Wenzhuo solemnly bowed, behaved appropriately, and had a great family demeanor: "King Wen, my lord sent me today to reach an alliance with King Wen and jointly resist the imperial capital." ”

"To show sincerity, my lord is willing to offer ten thousand taels of gold and one million taels of silver, and smile at King Wen."

Wang Xu was expressionless, not moved by the gold and silver at all, when it comes to money, gold and silver, he already has a lot, maybe not as much as Hu Ling, but the two counties of Hexi and Guxi combined, at least hundreds of thousands of taels of gold, this thing is more than stone, useless, especially in the war years, grain is definitely worth more than gold.

"Master Cai, your lord has repeatedly been my enemy, why does this king want to ally with you? What shall we do if you break your covenant in the future? ”

Cai Wenzhuo was immediately stunned, he didn't expect Wang Xu to be so careless, the alliance is good for everyone, of course, it is only more beneficial to Zhu Huan, but since Zhu Huan has already taken out a million silver, what reason is there to refuse, he really can't figure it out.

Wang Xu said suddenly: "I want 200,000 denier of grain, if Zhu Huan is willing to take it out, this king will ally with him, if you are attacked by the imperial army, I will definitely send troops to help, and Hu Ling of Nanjun will also help you, if not, you will go to fight against the officers and soldiers yourself." Wang Xu's expression was resolute.

200,000 denier of grain!

Zhu Huan can indeed take it out, but if the grain and grass are taken out, then the expansion of troops and horses in Beijun will be put on hold for the time being.

Cai Wenzhuo is really difficult to ask, but if the imperial army really comes one day, without Wang Xu's help, with the power of the northern county, it will be difficult to resist, and what is the use of more food.

"These gold and silver, the military advisor can bring back, and this king only needs 200,000 denier of grain and grass." Wang Xu added.

.........

continued to discuss half of the salary, Cai Wenzhuo agreed, but said that for the time being, he could only send 100,000 deniers, and the remaining 100,000 deniers would have to be made up in the future.

As for the remaining 100,000, there will naturally be a way to receive it in the future, so there is no need to worry about it at all.

"Well, in that case, then the king will form an alliance with your lord and fight against the imperial capital." Wang Xu said happily.

Wang Xu has agreed, Cai Wenzhuo finally breathed a sigh of relief, only by alliing with Wang Xu, Zhu Huan can rest assured that he can recover the northern region of Beijun, as well as the prairie, where there is also a flood of horses, if he learns, his strength will increase a lot.

The North County Prairie is different from Hexi County, where it is very vast, the land is fertile, the sun is shining, and it is most suitable for raising war horses, cattle and sheep and other livestock.

Another point, Beijun is also very suitable for seed rice, Zhu Huan has Beijun, which is definitely worthy of Wang Xu's Hexi County and Guxi County, but the territory is not as big as Wang Xu. (To be continued.) )
