After General Hu returned to the camp, he explained the situation in detail!

The eldest prince asked, "You say they threw the jar into the fire, and then the fire burned violently?" ”

General Hu affirmed: "I saw with my own eyes that they threw the wine jar into the fire, and then the fire began to burn!" ”

The eldest prince asked, "Can wine burn?" ”

Old General Huang said: "Great Prince, according to my guess, they should have stored some kind of liquid in the wine jar, and this liquid is the thing that can thrive fire!" ”

The eldest prince sighed: "I didn't expect to have a firearm just now, I thought I could compete with Li Yao, but I didn't expect Li Yao to have a new weapon now, what should I do!" ”

Old General Huang said: "The eldest prince, the last general is foolish, it is better to rest first, and then unite with Yiguo Yangyun to attack Li Yao!" ”

"Yangyun!" The eldest prince snorted coldly and said, "If they work, they will launch an attack on Li Yao as early as when we entered the Yi Kingdom!" ”

Old General Huang paused for a moment and said, "Maybe there was something wrong with them!" ”

The eldest prince laughed and said, "We have an accident now, do you know that we have the heart of the army now?" Now the army is in an uproar, and everyone knows that Li Yao's army has demon fire, demon fire! ”

General Hu lowered his head when he heard the word 'demon fire', General Hu now knows why the blind man came to him to talk about demon fire, he wants to make the captured soldiers feel fear, and let the captured soldiers come back to promote the fear of death!

There is no way to stop this kind of rumor, especially when 50,000 soldiers say that the demon fire is terrible at the same time, this rumor has become a fact, and now the Liang army does not dare to start a war with Li Yao's troops at all, no one wants to die, let alone die under the terrible demon fire!

Old General Huang said: "Great Prince, I will find a way to let the soldiers eliminate the fear of demon fire!" ”

The eldest prince nodded and said, "Then this matter will be handed over to you, I am going to prepare the army to cultivate here for seven days, and after seven days, we will return to the court!" ”

When General Huang heard that the eldest prince had the intention of retreating, he hurriedly said: "The eldest prince, if you retreat now, there may be objections from the DPRK and the central government!" ”

The eldest prince looked at General Huang Lao and said: "Now the army is discouraged, if you are forcibly using troops, I am afraid that there will be more than luck, it is better for me to go back with more than 200,000 troops, so it is easy to explain, there is no loss of military strength, even if my father wants to punish me!" ”

When General Huang heard the words of the eldest prince, he had to say: "Since the eldest prince wants to retreat, then we can only comply!" ”

'Hmm' the eldest prince said: "The matter of restoring the morale of the army will be handed over to General Huang, within seven days, no matter what, we must restore a certain amount of military morale, and say to the outside world that we will conquer more than ten counties in Yiguo, but because of the lack of food and grass, we have no choice but to retreat!" ”

Faced with such an obvious lie, General Huang could only nod and say, "Yes, I will instill this kind of thinking in the soldiers!" ”

"Okay, it's nothing, you can step down, General Wang stay!" The eldest prince issued an eviction order.

General Huang and General Hu arched their hands and said: "The last general will retire!" ”

The eldest prince watched General Huang and General Hu retreat, and said to General Wang: "General Wang, how is the production of firearms now?" ”

General Wang arched his hand and said, "Back to the Great Prince, now that we have mastered the technology of making Heavenly Thunder Firearms, at least thirty people can make Heavenly Thunder!" ”

The eldest prince nodded and said, "General Wang, you will take these people to Jiangguo tomorrow!" Someone in the Jiang Congress will receive you, and after you have explained it, you will return quickly, and then we will return to the DPRK! ”

General Wang nodded and said, "Obey!" ”

The eldest prince waved his hand and said, "Okay, you go down and prepare, you must send these people over safely!" ”

General Wang nodded and bowed out of the account!

The eldest prince kicked everyone out of the big tent, sat in front of the table alone, looked at the table full of Li Yao's information, and muttered in his mouth: "Li Yao, Li Yao, marry three wives and take one concubine within a year, you are really a hero and sad beauty, since you are so lustful, then I will fulfill you and give you a beauty!" ”

At this time, the blind man and Su Chenggao were drinking and eating meat together, and the blind man said: "We have earned 3.5 million taels of silver and 40,000 military horses this time, and this is really developed!" ”

Su Feiguang nodded and said: "That's right, what's more, there are 20,000 heavy horses among the 40,000 military horses, and the Liang Dynasty is really rich!" ”

The blind man nodded and said: "Yes, 20,000 heavy horses and a full set of equipment, without a few million taels of silver, we can't make it at all, with these 20,000 heavy horses, is there a place in Yiguo that we can't go?" ”

At this time, Su Feiguang said: "General Zhou, I'll discuss something with you, okay!" ”

The blind man looked at Su Feiguang and said with a smile: "You kid is paying attention to the military horse!" ”

Su Feiguang's old face turned red, and he smiled awkwardly: "Haha, General Zhou, you know this!" ”

The blind man said: "Don't talk about you, I'm still greedy, although these 40,000 military horses are not as good as our Dawan horses, but the victory lies in the large number, the Dawan horse is one less than one horse, but this military horse has as many as 40,000 horses, and it will not be exhausted for a while and a half!" So in the future, these horses will gradually become the main horse breed of our cavalry! ”

Su Feiguang said: "General Zhou, I know the importance of this horse in the future, but our independent division does not have fast troops, and many times it is very disadvantageous, so I want you to talk to Hou Ye, with us one or two thousand military horses, so that our combat power will also increase!" When the time comes, it will be better to complete the task assigned by the Hou Ye! ”

The blind man nodded and said: "The situation of your independent division, we are also very clear, you have been fighting outside all the year round, and you do need to be able to send troops to support in time, in this way, I will leave you a thousand military horses with you first, and then I will go back and tell the eldest brother, if the eldest brother agrees, then you can train the cavalry, if the eldest brother does not agree, you will pull the military horse back!" ”

Su Feiguang nodded excitedly and said, "Okay, okay, thank you General Zhou!" ”

When Su Feiguang saw the blind man's attitude, he knew that these thousand military horses must be his own, if he didn't want to give it to himself, then he would definitely go back with all the military horses, why should he leave a thousand for himself!

Cheng Gao and the others are also very interested in these cavalry, but they are regular troops, and they can't ask for them from above, they can only wait for the distribution from above!

The blind man looked at Cheng Gao and the others, and said, "Your merits will be said when you return to Daxian, you have made a lot of contributions here, and the rewards will definitely not be less!" ”

When the two heard the blind man's words, they hurriedly said, "Good, good! ”

At this time, Su Feiguang asked: "General Zhou, what should we do now, should we continue to confront the Liang army, or hide first and wait for an opportunity to attack them!" ”

The blind man said: "Let's hide first and stop attacking for the time being, since they are willing to spend money to ransom the prisoners, it proves that they have no will to fight, and I believe that when the 50,000 prisoners return, their soldiers will also have no will to fight!" ”

Although several people didn't understand what the blind man said, seeing that the blind man was so confident, they all said: "Then let's go up the mountain and hide, and watch Liang Jun's next move!" ”

Seven days passed, and the blind man and others also hid on the mountain for seven days, until the Liang army packed up the big tent and returned to the court, the blind man and others came down from the mountain, and the blind man said to Su Feiguang: "Since the Liang army has withdrawn, then we will also leave, and the baggage will be all left to you, once you find the news that the Liang Dynasty is attacking again, report it immediately!" ”

Su Feiguang said happily: "Yes! ”

The blind man can keep all the baggage to himself, which Su Feiguang didn't expect, this baggage is not only as simple as firearms, but also fuel.

Su Feiguang, who has tasted the sweetness of fuel, is very rare to fuel.

The blind man saw Su Feiguang so happy, and said with a smile: "Let me explain to you first, this fuel will disappear, if you don't close the lid tightly, the fuel inside will run out!" ”

Su Feiguang said with a smile: "General Zhou, I know this, you can rest assured, I will definitely manage these fuels well!" ”

The blind man saw that his army was ready, and said, "It's all right, so let's go of lurk first!" ”

When Su Feiguang heard the blind man's order, he immediately led the army up the mountain and hidden!

The reason why the blind man left so many things for Su Feiguang was because the blind man's credit was too great, whether it was to rescue Cheng Gao's troops at the beginning, or to ambush the Liang army's troops later, he made a lot of efforts, if he didn't give them certain benefits, the consequences would not be good!

Although there are many political commissars of this independent division, they are not rewarded for their merits, which will definitely hurt the hearts of the army!

When Li Yao learned that the blind man had captured 40,000 military horses and 3.5 million taels of silver, he exclaimed: "I didn't expect the Liang Dynasty to be so rich!" ”

And the news of the withdrawal of the Liang army also stimulated Li Yao, if the Liang Dynasty withdrew, wouldn't he be able to use all his military power to deal with Yang Yun, although now there are seven princes to contain Yang Yun, but as Yang Yun gradually increases his control over the city guards, the 10,000 people he sent to Chen Fang have been slightly declining, fortunately, there is a secret assassination by Fuchuan, otherwise Chen Fang will not be able to fight against Yang Yun at this time!

Chen Fang's idea was very simple, he just wanted to win over civil officials, because he believed that civil officials were a reliable force, and people like martial artists who were inclined to solve problems by violence were not suitable for Confucian children like him!

Three days later, Li Yao came to the outside of the county to welcome the return of the blind man and others, although the blind man brought back 3.5 million taels of silver to himself, but increased the cost of 40,000 military horses, although there are military horses to form cavalry, which is a good thing, but the military expenses are really a little unaffordable!

If he does not disarm, it will not take more than a year to collapse his finances, especially in the eastern region, which is about to be turned into a no-man's land by the Liang army, and I don't know how much it will cost to rebuild it!

But disarmament is not what Li Yao wants to do, because Li Yao's goal is the whole world, not a Yiguo, Yiguo is just a springboard for him, if he really cuts half of the army, it is only enough to rule Yiguo, and if he wants to make a move, it is particularly difficult!

The financial income of a county town is only enough for the expenses of a college, and the current army is completely dependent on itself, this model is not good, although education has gone up, but the economy has declined, it seems that it is necessary to vigorously develop industry and commerce, with a little income from agriculture, I really can't afford to toss the college!

Li Yao also knew that the saddest thing was that in the past few years, as long as the college was on the right track, the cost would not be so big, because the money spent on building the academy in the first year was the most, and when it was built later, it would only provide meals for tens of thousands of people, and it would not cost much money at all!

Li Yao waited for a while, and then saw the blind man coming from afar with a large army, and after the blind man approached Daxian, he saw that Li Yao was actually waiting for him outside the city gate, the blind man hurriedly dismounted, ran to Li Yao quickly, and said, "Big brother, why did you come to pick me up in person!" ”

Li Yao said with a smile: "You have made a great contribution at the border, I must come to greet you in person!" ”

At this time, Cheng Gao and the others also came to Li Yao and saluted: "Commander! ”

Li Yao said with a smile: "The two of you are also very good, it is really amazing to be able to fight guerrilla warfare with Su Feiguang and hit the Liang army hard!" ”

Cheng Changping lowered his head and said: "This is really ashamed, this time to block the Liang army, Su Feiguang's independent division really made a great contribution, at the beginning I was greedy for merit and fell into the trap of the Liang army, if it wasn't for Su Feiguang's timely rescue, we might have broken there!" ”

At this time, Gao Xiangming also said: "I also have a lot of responsibility for this matter, and I am also greedy for merit!" ”

Li Yao said: "Since you can recognize your mistakes, then you should review them carefully, but the merit is merit, and the merit is the fault, and I also see your merit, so I have prepared a celebration banquet for you, let's go back and get drunk!" ”

Cheng Gao and the others said happily: "Yes! ”

At this time, the blind man said to Li Yao: "Big brother, this time I gave Su Feiguang a thousand military horses and all the baggage, I made the decision on my own!" ”

Li Yao said with a smile: "I still say the same thing, you will be rewarded for your merits, you can't chill the hearts of our soldiers, what you give to independent teachers is far from enough, I still want to reward them!" ”

The blind man said: "Big brother, there are quite a few, not to mention a thousand military horses, even those burdens are more than a little bit!" ”

Li Yao said: "Through this campaign, I found that Su Feiguang's guerrilla warfare was doing very well, so I wanted him to start recruiting and I gave him an army formation!" ”

The blind man smiled and said: "Big brother, it is redundant for you to give him an army establishment, he is now a division establishment, he can pull 20,000 troops, if you give him an army establishment, he can pull out a group army for you!" ”

Li Yao said with a smile: "What's the matter with a group army, it will be of great use in the future anyway!" ”

The blind man thought for a while and said, "What the eldest brother said makes sense, but there are so many more troops, is your military budget enough, eldest brother?" ”

Li Yao shook his head and said, "It's not enough at all!" ”

The blind man exclaimed: "Big brother, it's not enough, you also give Su Feiguang an army establishment!" ”
