Chapter 878: All Captured
Seeing that the car was full of sophisticated weapons, the general and all the soldiers under his command were taken aback, and looked at these people disguised as jujube dealers vigilantly.
"Who are you, and why are you trafficking weapons to Qingzhou?" The general scolded loudly and pulled out the weapon at his waist.
Obviously, he subconsciously believes that these people are weapons dealers, after all, in the era of war, the profit from selling weapons is the greatest, and the profit of no goods can be compared with weapons.
These people disguised as jujube dealers naturally have nothing to say, after all, Qingzhou is entrenched in rebels, and no matter what the reason, transporting weapons to Qingzhou is strictly illegal.
"General, there's a lot of silver here." A soldier who found a large amount of silver in the car.
The general was taken aback when he heard this, he originally thought that these people were vendors selling weapons, but when he found these large quantities of silver taels, he immediately realized that things were not so simple, after all, if these hawkers went to Qingzhou to sell weapons, it would be impossible to carry so many silver taels.
"Soldiers, arrest all of them." When the generals realized that these people were unusual, they immediately ordered their arrest.
These Jingzhou soldiers and horses disguised as jujube dealers were at an absolute disadvantage in terms of numbers, so they naturally had no power to resist, and they were all captured quickly.
After arresting these fake jujube dealers, the generals immediately escorted them to the direction of Rencheng with their people and cars, and handed them over to the main general Wang Wu.
Wang Wu interrogated these people, and soon learned that these people were Jingzhou soldiers and horses, and the mission to Qingzhou was to hand over a large number of weapons and military salaries to Yao Xiang and other rebel generals, so as to strengthen Yao Xiang and other soldiers.
Knowing such important information, Wang Wu did not dare to conceal it, and immediately sent his henchmen to Luoyang City. Tell Sù Hua'an about this matter, however, a large number of weapons and military salaries were temporarily left in Rencheng, after all, Wang Wu had just come to Rencheng. In order to develop military strength, these weapons and salaries are still very much needed, and at the same time, Wang Wu also believes that Hua'an will agree to hand over these weapons and salaries to himself.
Although Rencheng is far away from Luoyang City, Wang Wu's henchmen are riding horses, for this reason. Within a few days, he arrived at Luoyang City and went straight to the North Palace.
At this time, because Hua'an had already learned that the soldiers and horses in the direction of Qingzhou had taken refuge in Yanguo, for this reason, he began to study the situation in the direction of Qingzhou and Yanzhou with his subordinates.
And the reason why Hua'an attaches so much importance to Qingzhou and Yanzhou is mainly because this place is very important, in case Qingzhou and Yanzhou are controlled by hostile forces, his situation will be extremely disadvantageous.
Now. Although the threat in the direction of Yan was very large, it was resisted by Xie Ai and the hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses under his command. It is still very sure to hold the land of Jizhou, there is Wang Meng in the direction of Guanzhong and Liangzhou, and the threat is not very big, and there will be no problems, as for the Jingzhou army in the south, although the strength is strong. And it can directly threaten Luoyang City from the south, but Hua'an believes that with his own personal garrison, there should not be much of a problem, and the direction of Yanzhou at the east gate. It makes Hua'an more worried, although Wang Wu is in charge of Yanzhou, and Yanzhou's soldiers and horses are more than Qingzhou's soldiers and horses, but Qingzhou's Yao Xiang is good at using soldiers, and his ability to control is obviously higher than Wang Wu's.
At this time, after some discussion with his subordinates, Hua'an had the intention of investing more resources in the direction of Yanzhou, so as to increase the strength of the Yanzhou direction, so as to ensure that Wang Wu could defeat Yao Xiang and control a large area of Qingzhou and Yanzhou.
Hua'an said his plan, the subordinates will have some support, some are opposed, supporters naturally hope that Yanzhou's soldiers and horses can become stronger and stronger, while opponents believe that resources are limited, if a large number of resources are invested in Yanzhou, resources in other directions will be relatively insufficient, especially in the direction of Luoyang, the construction of a large number of warships, the consumption of resources is very large.
"Report, Your Majesty, General Wang Wu's subordinates have arrived at the palace and have important matters to report to the king." At this moment, the henchmen sent by Wang Wu arrived in the palace and waited outside the main hall.
Hua'an was discussing the matter in the direction of Yanzhou, and when he saw that Wang Wu had sent his subordinates to come, he understood that there must be something important, so he immediately ordered: "Let him in." ”
Before Wang Wu's subordinates entered the palace, Hua'an and his generals were quite worried, they didn't know what was happening in the direction of Yanzhou, after all, Wang Wu was able to personally send his subordinates to Luoyang City, which was enough to show that this matter was an extremely important matter.
Soon, Wang Wu's subordinates entered the hall and saluted Hua'an with fists clenched.
"General Wang sent you to Luoyang, what happened to you?" Hua An asked impatiently.
"King Qiqi, just a few days ago, our army intercepted a large number of weapons and military salaries sent by the king of the south to Qingzhou near Zou County, and the general felt that this matter was not trivial, so he immediately ordered the general to come and report it in person." The general clenched his fists and said.
"What, King Nan is transporting weapons in the direction of Qingzhou, it seems that their movements are really fast!" Hearing such important news, all the generals under Hua'an's command were shocked and cried out.
Hua An was shocked, looked at such a general, and asked loudly: "How many weapons and salaries have you seized?" ”
"Back to the king, the weapons are enough to equip 30,000 horses, and the military salary is enough for 50,000 troops for a year." The general said truthfully.
"Oh, it's great to have so many." When Hua An heard this, he was very happy, paused, and said, "Where are these weapons and salaries now?" ”
The general clenched his fists and replied: "Back to the king, these weapons and military salaries are now all piled up in the warehouse of Rencheng, and General Wang personally sent troops to take care of them, and there are ......."
"What else, don't ramble, say." Huaan said loudly.
At this time, Hua'an had already guessed Wang Wu's intentions, and that there was to leave these weapons and military salaries to develop Yanzhou's military strength.
"Your Majesty, the soldiers and horses of Qingzhou are eyeing my Yanzhou, and General Wang plans to leave these weapons and salaries in case of the soldiers and horses of Qingzhou." The general said truthfully.
When Hua An heard this, he smiled, and said: "Okay, this is no problem, since these weapons and military salaries were intercepted by you, then I will hand them over to you to use." ”
"Thank you, the king." The general clenched his fists and thanked him.
Hua An nodded, and said with a straight face: "This batch of weapons and military salaries is really timely!" After you return to Rencheng, tell General Sù Wang, let him rest assured and boldly go to manage Yanzhou's armaments, and if you need anything, you can tell Sù this king at any time, and this king will fully support General Wang. ”
"Yes, Your Majesty, the last will be gone." The general clenched his fists and turned to leave the main hall.
After the generals left, Hua An looked at the generals under his command and said happily: "This king's luck is really good!" Just now, I was still thinking about how to squeeze out a little money to support the direction of Yanzhou, and now, General Wang has intercepted a large number of weapons and military salaries, which is really good. After speaking, there was an excited expression on his face.
"Yes! Your Majesty, this is enough to show that God is on our side, and now, with this batch of weapons and military salaries in the direction of Yanzhou, its strength will definitely be greatly enhanced, and it should be no problem to resist the attack of Qingzhou soldiers and horses. Zhuge Xiong said loudly.
"Your Majesty, our army has intercepted the weapons and salaries sent by the Southern King to Qingzhou, this matter will be leaked out sooner or later, I am afraid that the soldiers and horses of Qingzhou will be angry and launch an attack on Yanzhou, we need to remind General Wang, let him be prepared to guard against the soldiers and horses of Qingzhou!" Said one of the generals.
When Hua An heard this, he felt that it made sense, nodded, and said: "That's right, the weapons and military salaries sent by the King of Nan to Qingzhou were intercepted by our army, and they could not reach the direction of Qingzhou, this matter will definitely leak out, the soldiers and horses in the direction of Qingzhou, seeing that the weapons and military salaries that should belong to them were intercepted by our army, will definitely be annoyed and angry, as for whether they will immediately attack Yanzhou, it is really difficult to say!" Immediately sent an order to General Sù Wang Wu and asked him to strengthen his combat readiness to prevent the soldiers and horses of Qingzhou from launching a surprise attack. ”
When the subordinates heard the order, they immediately went to convey the order.
Subsequently, Hua An and his subordinate generals studied how to develop military strength in the direction of Yanzhou, and how many soldiers and horses to develop with Yanzhou's civilian strength was in line with the actual situation of Yanzhou.
Because the population of Yanzhou is still relatively dense, for this reason, Hua'an feels that it is completely feasible to develop more soldiers and horses, but Yanzhou's agricultural development has been damaged by the war, if all the people of Yanzhou are conscripted, it will inevitably lead to the collapse of agriculture, for this reason, Hua'an feels that it is still possible to take the method of training militia, so that Yanzhou's army population can receive military training in the idle time, and continue to farm, and once the enemy army attacks Yanzhou, these farmers who have undergone military training can be immediately organized into an army. As a result, Yanzhou's military strength has been greatly enhanced.
After a careful study of the direction of Yanzhou by Hua An and his generals, it was finally decided to implement the policy of military-civilian cooperation in Yanzhou, so that the young and middle-aged people of Yanzhou could undergo strict military training in their leisure time to ensure their military skill level so that they could play a huge role when war came.
In the direction of Yanzhou, Hua'an's order was quickly conveyed, and Wang Wu and his subordinates immediately began to actively prepare for war after receiving the order, and at the same time, the garrisons of each county also began to carry out planned military training for the common people of Yanzhou, so as to improve the physical quality and combat ability of these ordinary people, and prepare for large-scale operations in the future.
