Wang Wu told the officers and men of the Yanzhou Army of Hua'an's order, and although the officers and soldiers were unwilling, they had to obey the order, and decided to evacuate immediately the next morning.

After resting overnight on the outskirts of Zou County, Wang Wu and his Yanzhou Legion began to evacuate, and arrived at the shore of the swimming water before evening.

At this time, although Yao Xiang's army had withdrawn to Taishan County, if it invaded Rencheng again in the future, would Rencheng be occupied again? This question is a question that Wang Wu must think about carefully.

After thinking about it carefully, Wang Wu felt that the positions of the various soldiers and horses stationed in Yanzhou were too far away from Rencheng, and it was necessary to make a certain adjustment to the positions where they were stationed, so that these troops could arrive in Rencheng in the shortest possible time, so as to more effectively resist the attack of Yao Xiang's army.

Wang Wu told the soldiers of the Yanzhou Army about his idea, and after hearing this, all the soldiers thought it was very reasonable, so they all agreed to station their troops in the city within 100 miles of Rencheng, so that they could reinforce Rencheng at any time, and if they attacked Qingzhou in the future, they could also gather troops faster.

After Wang Wu and his more than 100,000 main forces returned to Rencheng, except for the soldiers and horses directly under Wang Wu, the remaining teams all began to move towards the surrounding cities, and were within a range of more than 100 miles from the west of Rencheng, so as to reinforce Rencheng at any time.

In order to deal with the Yao Xiang Legion, the possible next attack, Wang Wu immediately began to rectify the troops directly under his command, first, to replenish the main force of soldiers and horses damaged in battle, and then, to send his subordinates to retrieve the hidden weapons and military salaries, expand the recruit corps, and use the original 10,000 recruits. Expanded to 20,000, bringing the number of soldiers and horses defending Rencheng to 40,000.

In order to make the recruits as effective as possible, Wang Wu would go to the recruit camp every day to give detailed guidance on the training of the recruits, and strictly required these recruits to train them well. Always ready for war.

In the direction of Taishan County, Yao Xiang and the main army under his command finally returned to the station, this attack on Rencheng, although a small setback to Wang Wu's direct troops, and took Rencheng in one fell swoop, but did not get much benefit, from the rich and noble family to loot these finances, is simply insignificant. This made the soldiers under Yao Xiang's command very dissatisfied, and they made great efforts to seize the opportunity to attack Rencheng again.

"Fifth brother, in this attack, our army failed to get back those weapons and salaries, and now, the Yanzhou Army must use those weapons and salaries. More troops were formed, and so on. For our army, it is a great threat, and our army must obtain more weapons and salaries in order to deal with the threat in the direction of Yanzhou! Yao Chang looked at Yao Xiang and said.

Yao Xiang nodded and said softly, "You're right. Since Wang Wu led the troops to Yanzhou, the strength of the Yanzhou army has been greatly enhanced, and this is a huge threat to our army. It was also intercepted by them, which is a greater threat to our army, and our army must do its best to obtain funding from the direction of Yanguo, otherwise, with the continuous assistance of the Northern King, the gap between our army and the Yanzhou army will become bigger and bigger, and the pressure on our army will also increase. ”

"Fifth brother, are you saying that we directly ask Yan Guo for weapons and military salaries?" Yao Chang said loudly.

Yao Xiang looked at Yao Chang, nodded, and said: "That's right, since we have already attached ourselves to the Yan Kingdom, we naturally want to ask the Yan Kingdom for weapons and military salaries, this matter is urgent, and we must do our best." ”

"Yes, Fifth Brother, I know what to do." Yao Chang answered loudly.

Subsequently, Yao Xiang immediately sent his henchmen to Jicheng to propose a large number of weapons and military salaries to Murong Jun, and asked Murong Jun to transport these materials to Qingzhou as much as possible, otherwise, they would most likely not be able to deal with the threat of the Yanzhou army.

In the direction of Luoyang City, when Hua An learned that Wang Wu and the main force of the Yanzhou Army under his command had returned safely, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

In this battle, Wang Wu and his direct subordinate troops, although they were defeated by Yao Xiang's main army and lost Rencheng, but the loss was not large, and the most important thing was that the weapons and military salaries did not fall into Yao Xiang's hands.

However, the battle of Tongguò also made Hua'an understand the urgency of the situation in Qingzhou, and made up his mind to solve the situation in Qingzhou as much as possible and bring Qingzhou into the jurisdiction under his command.

The premise of completely solving Qingzhou is to defeat the Qingzhou Army led by Yao Xiang with an absolutely superior force, and then you can occupy the land of Qingzhou smoothly.

Counting on Wang Wu and the existing Yanzhou army soldiers and horses, Hua'an believed that he did not have the strength to capture the entire Qingzhou at all, so Hua'an had to seriously train the main force near Luoyang, and at the right time, personally lead the troops to attack Qingzhou and take Qingzhou.

When he went to Qingzhou, the defense of Luoyang City was a big problem, and for this reason, Hua'an had to train the main force of Luoyang City to be elite enough, so that he could confidently and boldly lead a part of the soldiers and horses to Qingzhou to attack the Yao Xiang army.

At this time, around Luoyang City, in addition to the 90,000 sailors who were training, there were 10,000 horses of Hua'an's personal guards, 10,000 horses of the Wudang Fei Army, 20,000 charioteers, and 20,000 cavalry, a total of 150,000 main forces.

If Hua'an is to conquer Qingzhou, he must leave a very strong army of soldiers and horses to guard Luoyang City, and the 90,000 naval army naturally cannot be mobilized at will, among the remaining 60,000 main forces, Hua'an also intends to leave 30,000 horses, that is to say, Hua'an intends to lead only 30,000 horses, starting from Luoyang City, to reinforce in the direction of Qingzhou, and take Qingzhou in the shortest possible time, so as to remove the threat of Qingzhou, and after the threat in the direction of Qingzhou is lifted, Hua'an can start to attack Yan State.

Of course, the premise of this qiē is that the safety of Luoyang City must be guaranteed sufficiently, that is to say, the 90,000 naval army in Luoyang City must have strong combat effectiveness, so that he can bring 30,000 soldiers and horses to reinforce Yanzhou and take Yanzhou in one fell swoop.

In order to check the training of the 90,000 naval army, Hua'an left the Beiwang Palace again and led a group of generals to the naval camp on the north bank of Luoyang to inspect the training of the naval army.

Standing on the high platform on the north bank of Luoshui, Hua'an found that the progress of the navy was still quite great, especially the arrangement of the warships was more neat than before, and after the soldiers put on simple life jackets, they no longer had to worry about being swallowed by Luoshui, so they trained harder.

Moreover, Hua'an also found that many of the sailors who were training did not wear simple life jackets, which seemed to indicate that these soldiers had learned to swim.

Hua An took a closer look, on a warship in front of him, more than half of the soldiers did not wear simple life jackets, which means that more than half of the soldiers have learned to swim, in such a short period of time, to reach such a high proportion, it is very commendable.

In order to understand more about the training of the navy, Hua'an made some inquiries about the generals responsible for training the navy, and finally had a better understanding of the training of the navy, and at the same time, he also became more confident, and believed that it would not be long before these navy troops would have the strong combat effectiveness of the water war, so that they could completely defend Luoyang City well, and at that time, Hua'an could rest assured and boldly and personally lead the troops to attack in the direction of Qingzhou.

After inspecting the training of the navy, Hua'an returned to the North Palace with great satisfaction, and after arriving at the main hall of the North Palace, Hua'an praised the generals who were responsible for training the navy, and asked them to make persistent efforts to train the navy into a powerful force as soon as possible.

The generals of the navy were encouraged, rejoiced, and thanked and departed.

After the generals left, Hua'an left Wang San and Deng Qiang, and looked at them, and said: "The situation in Qingzhou is a big trouble for this king, and it must be solved as much as possible." ”

"What is the king's plan, and how can he solve it?" Wang San hurriedly asked.

"Though the king commands it." Deng Qiang also said.

Hua An nodded and said softly: "General Wang Wu is not Yao Xiang's opponent, this king intends to lead the two of you to reinforce Yanzhou, and annihilate Yao Xiang's army in one fell swoop, and finally occupy the entire Qingzhou, what do you think of this king's plan?" After speaking, he looked at Wang San and Deng Qiang.

Wang San and Deng Qiang were taken aback when they heard this, they didn't expect that Hua'an would suddenly come up with a plan to conquer Qingzhou.

"Your Majesty, the Qingzhou Army is only 80,000 horses, and there is no need for the king to make a move, the last general will lead the troops to join General Wang Wu, and then you can capture Qingzhou in one fell swoop." Deng Qiang said confidently.

"Yes! Wang Shang, just Yao Xiang, is just a young general, how can he need Wang Shang to personally ask for it? Just send a general. Wang San said loudly.

When Hua An heard this, he smiled, and said: "You all underestimate Yao Xiang, although there are only 80,000 soldiers and horses in Qingzhou, but under the leadership of Yao Xiang, this is a very powerful force, if you don't personally lead the troops to the conquest, this king is really a little worried!" After saying that, he looked at the two of them again.

Wang San looked at Hua'an and said, "When does the king plan to lead the troops to recruit in person, I can also prepare." ”

Hua An said softly: "This matter is not in a hurry, we must wait until our army's 90,000 sailors are fully combat-effective, and this king can calmly lead the troops to conquer Qingzhou, the reason why I told you this matter in advance is to let you prepare in advance, so as not to be too rushed, and also, this matter is a top secret matter, you know it, don't tell others." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty." Wang San and Deng Qiang hurriedly responded. (To be continued......)
