There was no war in the north for three days, and the Huolin Army and the Northern Navy returned to their respective camps to recuperate. The Huolin Army actively repaired the city wall of Baixian County, built fortifications, replenished war materials, and stepped up the training of the former government soldiers so that they could quickly become regular troops. The former soldiers were all soldiers who had experienced the test of war, but because almost all of them were young and strong, they did not receive formal and rigorous basic training. Therefore, in this leisure time, strengthen their basic abilities.

Three days may not be able to decide anything, and it can't change the ability of the former government sergeants in a big way, but it will put a seed in their hearts and let them understand what a regular Huolin army is like. Similarly, when they were fighting the Northern Navy, there was also a small number of rotational training officers and soldiers who were conducting basic training. In addition to the training of the former government army, there are also 3,000 young men selected to participate in the training, because considering that this battle is a protracted war and will have to be stalemate for a long time, it is impossible to relax the preparatory work, and one more person will have more strength.

The Northern Navy, which is outside Baixian, is also rearming for war. In addition to stepping up the construction of ladders and siege towers, grain and grass were constantly transported from the rear. More importantly, Beihai King Chishu adjusted his army on a large scale, transferring some of the "brave" teams who fought in the past to the infantry army, and combining them with the death slave camp to form a new infantry army. Originally, 50,000 soldiers, 30,000 cavalry, and 20,000 infantry troops lost nearly 10,000 infantry troops after six days of fierce fighting with the Huolin army, but after these three days of adjustment, the size of the army continued to return to 50,000.

The Northern Navy Battalion, the second day of the truce.

"The king, the minister thinks that we should not fight with the Yan army in winter, but should collect grain and grass, train soldiers, and even trade with the Yanzhou Mansion to obtain the salt, iron and other materials we need, instead of burying the corpses of the tribal warriors under the city of Baixian County as we do now." In the Chishu tent, a middle-aged gray-robed man who was over thirty years old and comparable to Chishu looked directly at Chishu and said bluntly.

Chishu looked at the man in front of him and said with a smile: "Brother Yunwang, in the past, you and I traveled to Youzhou together and married Jinlan. You are the only one who dares to speak up in front of me. ”

Sighing, Chishu continued: "Brother Yun, do you know that since I saw Youzhou City, I have only discovered how far our tribe is compared to it? I have always had a dream, and I hope that one day, I can become the master of Youzhou. ”

"Huh...... What a pity! As soon as he entered Yanzhou Mansion, he was smashed by a yellow-mouthed child. Although I was careless first, I thought that the northern armies of Youzhou were nothing more than that, and with the cooperation of the governor of Youzhou, I thought that I could take the Yanzhou Mansion along the way, but what ...... the result?"

"So the king is going to take this breath and fill his life with nearly 10,000 warriors?" Yun Wang asked indifferently.

Chishu smiled bitterly: "Of course not, I don't know that winter is not a good time for war, but you don't know my situation." I need something to divert the contradiction, you know, my son is not honorable, for this reason, I also changed the title. By the way, this is still your idea, saying that it is to distinguish the old system. This battle, on the one hand, diverted the attention of some of the small tribes attached to the Northern Navy, and the other part ......"

Yun Wang said in a deep voice: "Great purge! ”

"Yes, the Great Purge! In the past thousand years, the Han people have changed dynasties, isn't this the case? By the way, the Han people don't have a word for cutting grass and eradicating the roots! Am I wrong for doing this? Chishu leaned back lazily and whispered.

Yun Wang sighed and said, "King, what you said is not bad, and your decision is not wrong. However, if this continues, the Beihai tribe can't afford to be consumed. Moreover, the remaining four are now planning to join forces to become a country. They want to establish a big country like Yan and Murowei in order to seek more benefits. King, if all our manpower and material resources are consumed here, then in the future, if the four tribes become a country, the place where our department is located will not escape the trend of joining. At that point, we will have no voice. ”

"What? Becoming a country? You mean......" Acorn said, taken aback. The so-called Chengguo, when he was still a prince, was proposed by the five tribes in the south of the Yan people, with the intention of establishing a unified country, so as to contend with the Murowei and Yan countries, and even seize the land of the Han people. However, for various reasons, this opinion has always been a theory and has not been widely supported, after all, no matter which tribe king, he is not willing to give up all his strength, but now...... How this does not surprise Chishu.

There are seven parts of the bar, and five parts of the south. Due to the large number of people of various nationalities in the south, the knowledge and development of each tribe far exceeded that of the two northern tribes, so the five southern tribes have always been the main force of the southern invasion. The three northeastern provinces of Youzhou in the Yan Kingdom lost land, which was occupied by the five departments in the south.

"How so?" Equestrian is somewhat unbelievable.

Yun Wang said: "Speaking of which, this also has something to do with the king. ”

"Oh? Relationship with me? Tell me about it? Chishu said in surprise.

Yun Wang said in a deep voice: "The king should know that half a year ago, the three departments joined forces to go south to Youzhou and seize the land of the four mansions. According to the plan, with the secret cooperation of the governor of Youzhou, the land of the four provinces will be occupied by our three tribes. ”

"What does this have to do with joining forces to become a country?"

"Anchegu and Funi occupy the three prefectures of Shunzhou, Yingzhou and Weizhou, if it is done, then. The northeast of Youzhou, from the north of Pingzhou, is the territory of the Ya tribes. There are two roads for these two departments to go south, one is the Yanzhou Mansion, that is, the path to attack the Three Prefectures half a year ago, and the other is the territory of the king of Tongguò, which is the land of the Song Desert Governor's Mansion built by the Yan State in the past. But now, Yanzhou Mansion is occupied by the Yan people, and the land of the Song Desert is also the territory of the Khitans. The ...... that went south"

"Alone!" Chishu said in a voice.

"yes, I'm alone now." Yun Wang said with a faint mockery on his face: "Great King, this is also the reason why you seized the throne by this means, while the rest of the ministries just talked and did not interfere. Otherwise, Lao Wang has a lot of brothers, and they have already moved, and maybe, now the rest of the tribes have already killed the tribe to seize livestock and population. Why not move? Because they wanted the king to open the passage to the south and connect with the three provinces in the south. ”

"Two birds with one stone?" Chishu said with a cold face.

"Yes! Killing two birds with one stone, the king's Northern Navy and the Huolin army fought to the death, especially in winter, the greater the loss of the two sides, the more they liked it. Five of them have become a country, but only four of them occupy a position of power, how can they not be happy? It is best to defeat the Huolin army, which not only achieves the goal of opening the southward passage, but also allows the animal husbandry and agricultural affairs in the king's territory to be severely destroyed, and there is no longer enough money and food to support the king's northern navy. ”

After a pause, Yun Wang said again: "If it fails, the king's northern navy and Huolin army have also been greatly injured, and the rest of the armies in the south or north have already spent the entire winter in peace, and they can launch a thunderous blow against the Huolin army in Yanzhou Mansion and take Yanzhou Mansion again." At that time, there will be nothing to do with the king. As for the real kingdom, the king has no right to occupy a high position......"

Seeing Chishu's gloomy face and not speaking, Yun Wang said in a deep voice: "I know that the king wants to completely eliminate those disobedient guys, but his subordinates do not approve of this method of sending his subordinates to death. After all, no matter how lowly a person is, he can also create a zào for the benefit of the king. ”

Chishu looked up and said, "Then you say, what should we do now?" Withdrawal? Chishu shook his head and said, "This is not good, it is really ...... to withdraw without any results."

Yun Wang said coldly: "This is not in a hurry, I think that the soldiers of the Dao Death Slave Camp sent by the King are actually not guilty of this." ”

"Huh?" Chishu's face was a little unsightly, these slaves who were sent to the death slave camp, their tribal patriarchs did not support themselves, and they were assigned to them.

"My lord, their patriarch is at fault, but these ordinary soldiers are not wrong, because they have no choice. The chiefs of the clans could be put to death, and their generals could be put to death, but these soldiers were of great use to the king. ”

When Chishu heard this, he seemed to understand what his friend meant, but he couldn't understand it, so he smiled and said, "Brother Yun, please speak, foolish brother, I'll listen to you!" ”

Yun Wang hurriedly saluted and said: "Your Majesty was bullied in Youzhou, and he was saved by the king, how dare he be so rude." The subordinates meant that the territory, soldiers, and people of the Han people were all the emperor's, but the tribes of the Yan people were very different, and the land, soldiers, and people were all small tribes. The power of the king is great, and they serve the king, and the power of the king is small, and they do not care about the king at all. What we need to do now is to turn private ownership into the king's possession, and turn the entire Beihai into the king's territory, and the land, soldiers, and people will all belong to the king, and the rest of the people have no right to occupy it. ”

When Chishu heard this, his eyes lit up, but then he dimmed again, and said: "It's easy to say, but it's hard to do, I'm afraid that once this order is issued, it will be even more difficult for me." ”

Yun Wang said coldly: "This is also what the king must do, as the king of the North Sea Department, how can he be trapped in the tribes under his command?" ”

"How?" Hearing this, a cold light flashed in Chishu's eyes, and he asked in a cold voice.

Seeing that his king was moved, Yun Wang smiled and said, "Didn't the king punish more than a dozen small tribes?" It could not be distributed to the rest of the tribes, following the example of the Yan Kingdom, these lands were owned by the Great King, who would send people to manage them, one to manage the civil affairs, that is, farming, livestock, trade, taxes, etc.; The other part is to send people to take charge of the military, manage the military generals, and do not interfere in civil affairs, and these generals are all close to the king. All the taxes collected by the civil officials shall belong to the king, and the king shall give money to the officials, and they shall not take them for themselves, for they shall belong to the king. ”

Chishu was stunned, thought about it carefully, and said, "But in this way, wouldn't the rest of the small tribes be ......?"

Yun Wang said: "Start with the departments that have been taken by the king, and gradually bring them under the command, after the soldiers of the death slave camp are transformed into the king's command, I believe that they are willing to die for the king after escaping death and their status has changed greatly, because from the beginning of the day, they will become the king's troops, they are the king's personal army, and they only belong to the king." ”

"As for the small tribes of the tribe? Isn't the king attacking Yanzhou Mansion now? The king only needs to declare that the tribe will take the lead in capturing Yanzhou Mansion and will get a quarter of the land, and I think they will fight for themselves. As for those who don't move, they must be the ones who colluded with the Yan State, and they are also the murderers of our army's defeat half a year ago, and they should be severely punished! Yun Wang said, with a hint of murder in his eyes.

"Brother Yun! This...... Good strategy! Chishu laughed.

Yun Wang said with a smile: "A good plan must be agreed to, the king is really a person who does great things, and his subordinates are willing to serve the work of dogs and horses!" ”

"Good! With Brother Yun's help, why worry about big things? Chishu laughed.

Immediately, the Beihai military camp suddenly became lively, and the 20,000 infantry troops of the dead slave camp were pardoned by the king and awarded the title of Beihai pro-army. The former dead slave became the king's army in an instant, and his family members were also pardoned, and for a while, 20,000 relatives suddenly became the supporters of the king of Beihai. The king's army could not be without horses, and could not be without good weapons and armor. As a result, 30,000 cavalry were unlucky, of which 20,000 were converted from cavalry to infantry, and their weapons and armor also fell one by one. There is no way, people are now the Beihai pro-army, what does the pro-army mean, it is the king's pro-guard army. Although the entire Northern Navy is called the Northern Navy, they are troops sent by various small tribes, and although they obey orders, they do not belong to the King of the North Sea.

Beihai King Chishu actually has his own pro-army, as the king of the Beihai tribe, there are 50,000 pro-troops under his command, and they are all elite. It doesn't seem like much, but now the entire Beihai Department is only 150,000 soldiers, of course, if all the people are soldiers, it will be more than that. The 50,000 troops of the King of the North Sea, in addition to 10,000 guarding his side, 20,000 stayed behind to guard the northern lair, and 20,000 guarded the logistics and military supplies. Now, I have another 20,000. Can't afford it? No, at the same time, he got the territory of more than ten small tribes and more than 100,000 people.

The King of the North Sea was not ambiguous, and immediately dispersed the 20,000 pro-army, reorganized, and appointed new officers at all levels, and quickly took them under control. According to Yun Wang's meaning, as long as he is not an idiot, even if Qianren will not be a very capable general, as long as he is loyal. At the same time, more than 100,000 people and territories were quickly taken over by the head of the capital sent by the King of the North Sea, one head of the capital for every thousand people, and several people assisted, managing civil affairs, and at the same time reducing the distribution of livestock, that is, taxes. In just a few days, the territory of the King of the North Sea expanded by one-third, and the number of people increased by more than 100,000.

When the rest of the tribes were not angry with the king of the North Sea for seizing the horses and armor of his subordinates, the king of the north sea passed on a new message: those who entered the Yanzhou Mansion first would get a quarter of the land. Suddenly, everyone's eyes were on Yanzhou Mansion, and all of a sudden, many small tribes sent people to Yanzhou Mansion.

Of course, not everyone is a quarter of this Yanzhou Mansion, and some people can see the plan of the Beihai King from the 20,000 dead slave camp soldiers collected by the King of Beihai, and they did not send people there, but carefully managed their own one-third of an acre of land. However, can this dodge the ambitions of the North Sea King?
