After Yao Xiang was persuaded by Murong Khan to surrender, he immediately persuaded the remaining soldiers and horses in Qingzhou and let them all belong to the Yan camp, thus forming a force to confront the army under Hua'an.

In the direction of Luoyang City, Wang Wu and Jiang Gan escorted Huan Wen's henchmen and arrived outside the south gate of Luoyang City.

Hua'an was naturally extremely happy when he heard that Wang Wu and Jiang Gan not only successfully completed the task of persuading the Yanzhou generals to surrender, but also captured the henchmen sent by Huan Wen to Yanzhou.

Seeing that Hua'an personally went to the south gate to greet him, Jiang Gan and Wang Wu both expressed their flattery, and reported everything that happened in Yanzhou to Hua'an.

Hua An was naturally very satisfied with this, and after ordering the henchmen sent by Huan Wen to be secretly sent to the prison, Hua An led everyone back to the North Palace, and discussed the next plan of action with the generals on the main hall of the North Palace.

Tong Guò Huan Wen sent his henchmen to Yanzhou to persuade the generals of Yanzhou to surrender, it can be seen that in Luoyang City, there is Huan Wen's meticulous work, and this meticulous work is very powerful, it can find out in a very short period of time that Hua'an sent Wang Wu and Jiang Gan to Yanzhou, and can immediately send the news to Xunyang City.

Hua An looked at the generals under his command and said loudly: "This time, all the generals of Yanzhou belong to this king, and General Wang and General Jiang have made great contributions, but the generals have also seen that General Wang and General Jiang have just arrived in Yanzhou, and the henchmen sent by the King of South will arrive later. It can be seen that in Luoyang City, there are their fine works! Moreover, this fine work is hidden near us, otherwise why would they have been able to grasp the king's orders so quickly. ”

"What the king said is very true. Last time, we wiped out the fine work of the Yan Kingdom, but the fine work that the king of the south sent to Luoyang City did not lose the slightest! Moreover, there are hundreds of thousands of people around Luoyang City, and we can't know where the fine work sent by the King of the South is hidden! One of the generals said loudly.

"Your Majesty, this time General Wang and General Chiang. Didn't you catch the heart of King Nan? If you interrogate them, you may be able to find out where the small works in the city are hidden! One of his subordinates said wittily.

Hearing this, Hua An nodded approvingly, and said: "That's right, this is indeed a good way, but this matter must be carried out in secret, and no outsiders must know about it." Otherwise, these fine works will definitely escape. ”

"Your Majesty. Leave this matter to your subordinates! An official clenched his fists and pleaded.

Hua An nodded, and said with a straight face: "Okay, you go!" ”

This official received the order and personally went to the prison in Luoyang City to prepare for the interrogation of Huan Wen's henchmen.

"Your Majesty, there are more than 100,000 soldiers and horses in Yanzhou right now. Now that we are attached, should we do something about it? Deng Qiang looked at Hua An and asked loudly.

Hua An shook his head and said loudly: "Although Yanzhou has many soldiers and horses, it has been fighting against the Yangzhou Army in recent years. The soldiers are already tired, and besides, they have just returned to the king, and the king has not done them favor, how can they be mobilized? ”

"What the king said is that the soldiers and horses in Yanzhou are indeed very inadequately prepared, and there is a shortage of weapons and salaries, and our top priority is to transport weapons and salaries to Yanzhou as much as possible to improve the combat effectiveness of the Yanzhou army, as for the use of troops in the north and south directions, the time seems to be unripe!" Jiang Gan Zhengse said.

"Yes! Your Majesty, nowadays, the agricultural and commercial development in the Luoyang area is getting stronger and stronger, and the Hebei area has also begun to build water conservancy. Wang Wu also said the same.

What the two of them said is naturally very much in line with the realistic situation, and it is also Hua'an's idea, agriculture in the Hebei area has not been fully developed, Hua'an is unwilling to use troops to the north, after all, if you rely on the rear to continue to transport grain and grass, the pressure on logistics is too great, not conducive to the long-distance northern expedition of the army.

Once Hebei's agriculture is developed, it can greatly reduce its dependence on the rear, which will be more conducive to taking action against Yan.

Hua An smiled and said: "General Wang and Jiang Jiangjun are right, it is indeed not appropriate for our army to take the initiative to attack at the moment, as for the lack of weapons and salaries for the army in the direction of Yanzhou, this matter must be done immediately, and the hearts of the Yanzhou soldiers must not be chilled." ”

"Your Majesty, leave the affairs in the direction of Yanzhou to us!" Jiang Gan clenched his fists and asked Hua An for his life.

Hua An nodded, and said with a straight face: "Okay, General Wang, General Jiang, the matter of the Yanzhou direction will be handed over to the two of you, no matter how many weapons and military salaries are needed in the Yanzhou direction, you just have to give them to them." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty, the last will obey." Wang Wu and Jiang Gan accepted the order with their fists clenched.

"Report, Wang, news came back from the direction of Qingzhou, Yao Xiang and other generals not only refused to belong to the king, but also had been persuaded by Murong Khan, the general of Yan State, to join Yan State." At this moment, there was unfavorable news that the soldiers and horses of Qingzhou had returned to the Yan Kingdom.

Hua An and his subordinate generals were very unhappy when they heard this, although they had long known that Yao Xiang and other Liuyi soldiers and horses were difficult to attach, but they did not expect that they would be attached to Yan so quickly and become their enemies.

"Your Majesty, since the rebels in Qingzhou have been attached to Yanguo, and the soldiers and horses of Yanzhou have been attached to us, the king can completely order the soldiers and horses of Yanzhou to attack Qingzhou, so that as long as Qingzhou is taken, Qingzhou and Yanzhou will be ours." A subordinate general shouted loudly.

"Your Majesty, although there are slightly more soldiers and horses in Yanzhou than in Qingzhou, Yao Xiangshan can use soldiers, but I am afraid that he may not be able to win! Besides, the soldiers and horses of Yanzhou have just been attached to the king, if they are ordered to attack Qingzhou at this time, I am afraid that it will cause them to be dissatisfied! Moreover, the generals of Yanzhou are fighting their own battles, and if they want to attack Qingzhou, they must select a general who is responsible for leading them! Another subordinate immediately objected.

When Hua An heard this, he felt that it was very reasonable, Yanzhou was leaderless, and he really needed a leader who could convince them, otherwise, not only would they not be able to attack Qingzhou, but they would also be difficult to resist when the Qingzhou army attacked Yanzhou.

Hua An looked at Wang Wu and said: "General Wang, all the generals in Yanzhou have an old relationship with you, this king plans to let you go to Yanzhou and be responsible for commanding more than 100,000 soldiers and horses there, I don't know what you think?" ”

When Wang Wu heard this, he was slightly surprised, and hugged his fists and said: "Your Majesty, how can the last general be able to dominate the generals of Yanzhou?" I'm afraid they won't accept it! After speaking, he looked at Hua'an.

Hua An smiled, looked at Wang Wu, and said: "General Wang is too humble, this king feels that with General Wang's ability and prestige, he is enough to dominate the generals of Yanzhou, besides, this king needs to sit in Luoyang in person, and he can't go to Yanzhou!" The task of commanding the generals of Yanzhou is entrusted to General Wang. ”

Obviously, only Wang Wu and Jiang Gan were the most suitable to lead Yanzhou's soldiers and horses under Hua'an's command, and Wang Wu had guarded Lukou all the year round and had relatively rich combat experience, so Hua'an weighed it again and again and decided to send Wang Wu to Yanzhou to carry out such a mission.

Seeing that Hua'an had made up his mind to let himself carry out such a task, Wang Wu no longer shirked, and hugged his fists and said: "The king can rest assured, the last general will definitely go all out to complete the mission, but will the 20,000 cavalry under the command of the last general stay in Luoyang City, or will they be transferred to Yanzhou?" ”

Obviously, after Wang Wu accepted the task, he was most concerned about what to do with the 20,000 cavalry under his command, after all, these soldiers and horses were his old subordinates, if Hua'an left 20,000 horses in Luoyang City on the grounds of strengthening the defense of Luoyang City, then he had to lead a small number of followers to Yanzhou, which would inevitably weaken his prestige.

Hua An smiled and said: "The 20,000 cavalry under General Wang's command naturally followed General Wang to Yanzhou together, although the defense of Luoyang City is tense, but he doesn't care about the 20,000 cavalry!" General Wang, hurry up and prepare! ”

"Yes, Your Majesty, the last general will go and prepare." Wang Wu responded with a fist clenched, turned around and left the hall.

After Wang Wu left, Hua'an discussed with the generals again, and then began to arrange tasks for his subordinates to complete them separately.

After all the generals left the main hall, Hua An began to think about the current shape of the world, and focused on what actions the Yan State would take after the soldiers and horses of Qingzhou were annexed to the Yan State.

However, no matter how it is analyzed, Hua'an feels that in its current form, all parties are actively preparing for war, and there will be no large-scale conquest in a short period of time.

Taking advantage of this rare opportunity for peace, Huaan felt that it was necessary to develop production as much as possible and actively prepare for war, so that when war came, it could deal with it well and thus be invincible.

In the prison of Luoyang City, the officials under Hua An continued to interrogate the henchmen sent by Huan Wen to Yanzhou, although they did not carry out cruel torture to extract confessions, but the continuous fatigue bombardment of Tongguò still made the henchman succumb, and told the relevant situation of some of the detailed works stationed in Luoyang City in the direction of Xunyang City, as for more detailed works, he did not know at all, after all, he was just a henchman under Huan Wen, and he could not know too much.

After the officials under Hua'an learned the information that Huan Wen was stationed in Luoyang City, they immediately handed over these materials to Hua'an as soon as possible, and asked Hua'an how to deal with them. (To be continued......)
