Kou Sui had been with him for so long, so he naturally saw his thoughts and said, "Are we too optimistic?" Although we successfully took the north, on the one hand, these counties did not have the fighting spirit and almost never encountered any resistance, on the other hand, Wang Lang did not have time to react, and besides, our actual control over these territories was not large, and there were several large bandit armies in the mountains, so it was too early to talk about victory.

He shook his head, and continued: "Especially these newly recruited soldiers, how effective they are must be in everyone's hearts. ”

"I will take 10,000 cavalry, and I will destroy them all." Geng Yi said lightly, but the generals didn't think he was arrogant at all, after all, everyone saw the power of his cavalry when he came.

"The situation forced us to expand our forces as soon as possible." Feng Yi sighed, "Now that the goal has been achieved, it's time to reorganize the army, but this will take time." ”

"So be it." Su Yun thought about it, he really didn't have any experience in army building, but fortunately, he still had some understanding of history, at this moment he and Wang Mang actually thought of a piece, to quickly improve the combat effectiveness of an army, the experience of Germany in World War II can be completely emulated.

"Geng Yi, select 20,000 experienced soldiers from your 80,000 cavalry, allocate them to the recruits we brought, serve as squad leaders, each bring ten recruits, form a squad, and they will control and command them in training and combat, and the remaining 60,000 elite soldiers will step up training, they will be the strongest combat force of our army, and it is also our foundation, and the total of materials and equipment will be given priority."

"Then improve the military regulations, set up rewards and punishments, I want the army to prohibit it in a short period of time, and violators will not be tolerated, Kou Sui is more experienced in this regard, Feng Yi, Deng Yu, you assist, and other generals must cooperate."

The tone of the meeting was set, and before the big war, everyone was busy.

Jizhou is a scene of hot military training, and after killing a lot of soldiers who are lucky, those who are still counting on burning, killing and looting can only put their minds away.

At Su Yun's suggestion, the squad began to compete with each other, and the winning squad group could receive rich rewards, which remobilized the enthusiasm of the soldiers.

Wu Han, a militant, was not idle, he and Feng Yi formulated a set of actual combat training plans, and now there are the most bandits in addition to the homeless people in various places, and there is no shortage of training objects at all.

The situation in the north quickly stabilized under the policy of strengthening the army.

Wang Lang in the south couldn't sit still, and in Handan City, the emperor on the dragon chair began to be silent.

"Why! Can anyone tell me why! Wang Lang roared, "Then how can Liu Xiu be virtuous!" In just two months, he has changed from a lost dog to a prince! Tell me why! Seeing that all the northern counties that had been ambushed with great difficulty had changed their banners, his Zhao Han Dynasty was cut in half in an instant, so how could he not be angry.

"Your Majesty, we have been pinned down by the thief army of Chengtouzilu and Lizidu before, and we have no time to take care of anything else, so we were taken advantage of by Liu Xiu, but now the two thief armies have been leveled, and we have more than 100,000 surrendered troops, plus our own army, there are more than 300,000, as long as the northern expedition is raised, it should not be difficult to recover the north." A general reports.

"However, the Xuanhan in the south has recently frequently mobilized troops and horses and gathered in the border area, I am afraid that there is a desire to attack our court, once we send troops to the north, the rear will definitely be empty, if they attack at this time......" One of the ministers was full of worry.

"Liu Xuan! The surname Liu is not a good thing! Wang Lang scolded viciously, and when he saw Baiguan's consternation, he immediately reacted, "Well, I'm talking about anything other than me, ha." He almost forgot that he was now surnamed Liu.

"Do you just let that Liu Xiu become bigger!"

"Liu Xuan has to guard against it, it was he who sent Liu Xiu to pass through Hebei, and he must have wanted to swallow me Zhao Han, so the soldiers and horses in the south can't move, but Your Majesty forgot that there is still a force that can be a help?"

"Who else?"

"Zhending King Liu Yang! He has 100,000 men under his command who can be used by us. ”

Wang Lang then remembered this soil emperor, Liu Yang had responded when he ascended the throne and became emperor, but he, a fake royal family, has always been wary of the genuine royal family, and has always ignored him, and now it seems that Liu Yang is indeed of great use.

The minister continued: "King Zhending's fief is close to Liu Xiu's territory now, as long as he cooperates with us to send troops, we don't need to mobilize the southern army, we can do it foolproof. ”

"Good! Immediately pass on my will and let Liu Yang send troops to attack Xindu with me! Wang Lang made up his mind.

At this time, Wancheng is still a scene of singing and dancing, the Xuanhan treasury is quite rich, the damage caused by natural disasters has been smoothed out, at least the palace is still magnificent.

After Wang Kuang was forced to be idle, most of the generals of the Green Forest family were squeezed out of the imperial court and sent to the front line of Shandong to resist Fan Chong's attack.

Liu Xuan returned to the life of a sensual dog and horse, and lost the government to Zhao Meng and Li Song.

But before he finished drinking today, he was invited out by Zhao Meng.

"What the hell is going on!" Liu Xuan's face was unhappy, "Didn't I say don't bother me casually!" ”

"Your Majesty, there is indeed something important, we have to bother you, and please forgive me!" Zhao Meng knelt on the ground, along with Zhu Kun, Li Yi and Li Song.

"Say it." Liu Xuan was very impatient.

"According to reliable sources, Liu Xiu has taken nearly half of Hebei and has hundreds of thousands of troops." Zhao Meng got up and said.

"Isn't that good? didn't cost us a single soldier, this Liu Xiu really has two hits. Liu Xuan said with a smile.

"Your Majesty!" Zhu Kun looked solemn, "Then Liu Xiu can develop into such a situation with a few entourages, it can be seen that his ability is extremely strong, such a person is really a hero, and because of Liu Xiu's matter, it is absolutely impossible to say that he has no grievances in his heart, when he was in Wancheng, he had no soldiers and no power and could still obey orders, and now he has a huge force, and he will definitely not be controlled by us again!" ”

"Da Sikong is worrying too much, right?" Although Liu Xuan said that, his face changed.

"If Liu Xiu is still loyal to the imperial court, why hasn't he sent anyone to report to the imperial court after gaining a foothold? I think he's got a different heart! Li Yi agreed.

Liu Xuan was a little uncertain, but now he began to regret sending Liu Xiu to Hebei, although he had no enterprising spirit, but he would never tolerate others provoking his position.

"But what can I do outside!"

"There's a good opportunity now." Zhao Meng said: "That Wang Lang was taken nearly half of the country, he will definitely not be angry, he will definitely send troops to attack Liu Xiu, when the time comes, we can just take advantage of the situation and take Handan directly, as long as we swallow Zhao Han's territory, Liu Xiu may not be able to do much more, and when the time comes, we only need to recall him back to Wancheng in the name of reward...... Zhao Meng made a movement to wipe his neck, "You can stop the trouble!" ”

"This Liu Xiu won't be stupid enough to throw himself into the net!" Li Song questioned on the side, he had received many benefits from Su Yun before, and he also contributed to going to Hebei, but now he can't wait to completely clear up the relationship.

"This is just one of the schemes, if he disobeys the order and does not return, he will just respond to the name of the thief, and when the time comes, we will lose the righteousness, we will raise troops to fight, and we will definitely get twice the result with half the effort!" Zhu Kun spoke.

"But to attack Wang Lang, I'm afraid our troops are a little insufficient, right? The Red Eyebrow Army is a big disaster, if they take the opportunity to attack it......" Liu Xuan was a little hesitant, compared to Hebei, which was not in his hands, he valued the country he had now.

"Your Majesty need not worry." Li Yi finally spoke, "I have something to report to Your Majesty. ”

"The Red Eyebrow Army found a child at random, named Liu Penzi, who was supported by Fan Chong and established the world under the false name."

"This Fan Chong, really damn it!" Liu Xuan said angrily when he heard this, but he didn't want him to be put on the throne like this in the first place.

"Your Majesty is angry, please listen to the minister." Li Yi said slowly, "Although Fan Chong is hateful, but he is also a person who knows practice, he has just established the imperial court, and the territory has not yet stabilized, so the offensive of the Red Mei Army has slowed down recently, and he has also sent envoys over, according to his intentions, he can stop fighting with us, but once we capture Hebei, we must carve out ten cities on the north bank of the Yellow River and cede them to him." ”

"No!" Zhu Kun said sharply, "That Fan Chong is not a good class, if he gets north of the Yellow River, the Red Mei Army can calmly cross the river and go north!" ”

"It's too much to worry about, this is just an expedient measure, anyway, there is no need to fulfill the promise now, as long as we take Hebei, it is okay to attack Shandong directly." Li Yi's eyes showed murderous intentions, "Compared to Fan Chong, Liu Xiu is our henchman!" Many people in the DPRK and China have an old relationship with him, once he has a firm foothold, as long as he raises his arms and shouts, who dares to guarantee that no one in the DPRK will vote for him, and the external troubles can still be resisted, and this internal troubles will make the Chaogang collapse! ”

Liu Xuan's face was already pale, he had never thought deeply about these questions, he felt a burst of fear, the throne that had been consolidated with great difficulty must not be put down like this, "Just do as you say!" Be sure to take Hebei! You must kill Liu Xiu! ”

"Yes!" Li Yi lowered his head, and no one saw the sneer on his face, "Liu Xiu, I see how you can escape again!" You're not, I'm upset! ”

Near Mount Tai in the east, Fan Chong was looking far away from the city wall.

"Big brother, do you really want to stop fighting with that Liu Xuan?" Feng An asked, "Now that we have established ourselves as the Son of Heaven, we can justifiably conquer the Central Plains of Zhuolu." ”

"Soldiers, treacherous. I can't forget the hatred in Wancheng for the rest of my life, how could I let him Liu Xuan go! Fan Chong said lightly.

"But why do you want to cooperate with that Li Yi?" Feng An was a little puzzled.

"After all, our sphere of influence is only in Shandong, and our resources are limited, since the Green Forest Army has increased its strength on the border, our attacks have been difficult to achieve, and only by letting them focus on Hebei can we have a chance."

"But if they really recover Hebei, then we won't be attacked on our backs, if they are treacherous and attack from the south, it will be difficult for us to resist!"

"They can't recover Hebei." Fan Chong said firmly.

"You're saying Wang Lang can defeat them?"

"Wang Lang is just a clown jumping off the beam, I'm talking about Liu Xiu, just a few people can beat half of Hebei, and then think about his previous record, do you think Liu Xuan will be his opponent?"

Fan Chong suddenly smiled, "Now that I think about it, I may have fallen for his calculations in Wancheng at the beginning, and we all became his pawns." ”

"No, it won't!" Feng An gasped.

"Let's wait and see, when Liu Xuan's army is defeated in Hebei, it will be the opportunity for our troops to go out of Shandong!" Fan Chong looked into the distance and muttered.
