Chapter 272: Hunting (2)
But even so, Liu Hai was still not at ease, and recruited soldiers and horses in Kaiyuan County, anyway, Jiang Lin left countless money and food in Kaiyuan County, no need to use it in vain, he counted it, enough for him to equip an army of 50,000, and the most gratifying thing is that even the armor in Kaiyuan County is ready-made, that is to say, as long as you can recruit people, you can immediately arm soldiers. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
As soon as he arrived in the county town, he was able to get 50,000 troops for nothing, which was really unexpected, Liu Hai started from a gangster, step by step, and developed to this day, he only has 80,000 troops in his hands, except for the 20,000 taken away, leaving 80,000 in the south; Now that he has increased by 50,000 as soon as he arrives in the county town, plus the incomparably strong county town, it can be said that his strength is twice as strong as before!
In the past, he still estimated Bai Ku and Han Ziyu, but now, Liu Hai is not so afraid, with more than 100,000 troops in hand, what is he afraid of?
And the most important point, he is now the county guard of Kaiyuan County, this identity gives him a lot of convenience, in other words, he can justifiably recover all the territory in Kaiyuan, including the dozens of county towns that Bai Ku now occupies, and after Jiang Lin retreats, more than a dozen counties in the west, these will become his pockets.
He needs to launch a large army to conquer the cities in Bai Ku's hands, so there is no need to worry now, what is anxious now is the more than ten small counties in the west that Jiang Lin took the initiative to give up.
Liu Hai is now the county guard of Kaiyuan, and the city of Kaiyuan is his, so while recruiting 50,000 new soldiers, he immediately sent people to contact more than a dozen county towns in the west, intending to take all the county towns without blood.
Speaking of which, things are going very smoothly, up to now, Liu Hai has recovered three in succession, he has sent people to station, and dismissed the original officers and soldiers, and the three county towns are all controlled by his people.
And after getting these actions of Liu Hai, as well as hearing the news that Liu Hai was sealed as a county guard, Bai Ku was very angry!
His territory is three times that of the original bangs, and the imperial court actually recruited talents to canonize bangs, but not him, obviously looking down on him...
But then again, even if the court wants to recruit him, he will not surrender, his ancestors were generals of the previous dynasty, and his father was killed by the emperor, how could he defect to the court?
Thinking about it, Bai Wei felt conflicted in his heart...
In order to solve his confusion, Bai Ku left his residence and went to Han Ziyu's mansion.
Han Ziyu's house.
Bai Ku asked directly: "Mr. Ziyu, what does the imperial court mean; Liu Hai is just a small force, the court actually favors him, hasn't the court always been strong to exterminate the anti-thieves, why is it now appeased? It's so unpredictable. ”
"The lord doesn't have to think about this, the most important thing now is that after Liu Haide has the county seat, he will successively recover more than a dozen county towns west of the county town, and his territory will not be weaker than ours by then, and over time, his soldiers and horses will be almost the same as ours, and even more worrying, he has now taken refuge in the imperial court, if he joins forces with the imperial army to attack, we are in a worrying situation, and besides, we have already offended Jiang Yiyuan, if he inserts another knife in our back, then..."
"What then?" Bai Ku heard this and asked urgently.
Han Ziyu smiled and asked, "Lord, what do you think we should do?" ”
Han Ziyu is very puzzled now, when he first came to Bai Ku's tent, he felt that Bai Ku was a very good general, brave and strategic, especially in training soldiers, he had the ability that ordinary people did not have, and he could coordinate combat training between soldiers like waving his arms, this kind of ability is not something that ordinary people can have; But now it seems that this white wither asks him for advice no matter how big or small he encounters, and he is just a brain, speechless...
Asked by Han Ziyu, Bai Ku thought about it and reacted: "Since it is inevitable to fight with Liu Hai, instead of waiting for him to grow stronger in the future, it is better for us to strike first and kill him by surprise while he is still young." ”
"We can attack the south first, there is no imperial army to help us in the south, just rely on the 60,000 troops left by Liu Hai, it will be difficult to fight against our army, and it is inevitable to capture Liu Hai's territory, and the power of Liu Hai County is not to be afraid... Strategist, is that so? ”
Han Ziyu chuckled and arched his hand: "The lord is wise, and his strategy is good." ”
Han Ziyu pursed his lips and said secretly, isn't this good, he still asks when he knows what to do, he really asks knowingly, and he doesn't know whether to pretend or be too lazy to use his brain.
In fact, this is a common disease of the master, when they find that they have a smarter military advisor than themselves, they will not bother to think about the strategy, as long as the military advisor is firmly grasped in their hands, to ensure that he does not rebel, then this military adviser is equivalent to his mind, can help him think about countermeasures at any time, no matter how big or small, it does not have to hurt his brain.
Bai Ku and Pang Yi are actually similar, both of them have the same feeling in many major matters, if it is not for the nod of strategists like Jiang Yiyuan and Han Ziyu, then I will always feel a little uneasy, especially Pang Yi, he did it once last year, Jiang Yiyuan originally did not agree with him attacking Wei Ning, but he insisted on attacking, and as a result, he lost his troops and generals, took time and consumed money, and in the end he didn't get a cent of land, and let Ling Feng pick up a big bargain.
Receiving Han Ziyu's praise, Bai Ku was very happy, nodded and said: "Okay, then after I go back, I will immediately order the surrounding troops to gather here, and after five days, mobilize troops to march south, and this time we must capture Liuhai's territory in the south in one fell swoop!" ”
"yes, okay."
Han Ziyu didn't say anything.
..........
Fengtianlin.
After two days and two nights of slow marching, the emperor finally arrived at his destination with Ling Feng, Yang Xiong, and 10,000 imperial forest troops.
After rushing to Fengtian Forest, the emperor immediately ordered 5,000 Imperial Forest troops to seal Fengtian Forest tightly, and sent people to investigate and search every dead end, and then the soldiers stood guard; The entire 5,000 troops were scattered all over the Fengtian Forest, and the place was strictly banned, and the remaining 5,000 people were stationed in an open space south of the Fengtian Forest.
The territory of Fengtian Forest is not too big, but it is not small, it is enough to have a radius of thirty miles, there is a strong fence on the periphery to form a blue wall, during which there are many beasts, such as rabbits, antelopes, squirrels, wild boars, pheasants, and so on.
After the encampment, it was getting late, and everyone stayed in the camp to rest.
Next.
Ling Feng was still asleep, when the Imperial Forest Army came to give an order, the emperor summoned him, and the hunt was about to begin.
Ling Feng didn't dare to hesitate, turned over and walked out of the tent.
Qin Liang stayed outside the tent all night, and only got up when he saw the Royal Forest Army coming, and stood aside.
Seeing Qin Liang's pale face, Ling Feng knew that Qin Liang must have been choked by the cold last night, and on such a cold day, he actually slept outside the camp tent for a night, which showed how much he had suffered.
"Third uncle, in fact, you don't have to guard here, I'll be fine." (To be continued.) )
