(Thank you for your great support, thank you!) ）

There is a saying that the Taizu of the Red Dynasty said very well, who is our enemy and who is our friend, this question is the primary question of the revolution. Uniting friends and attacking the enemy, although there is a suspicion that the party is the same and the enemy fights against differences, the essence of the struggle is exactly this. While Yi Feng achieved a series of great victories in Saibei, he was not too carried away, he knew very well that although the form of Huaihuang was very good. But in the whole world, Huai Huang is actually just a corner of the plug. There are only 400,000 Huaihuang people, and there are only tens of thousands of soldiers, compared with the Xi, Khitan and other tribes outside the Saiwai, it is enough to dominate one side. However, if compared with the Great Sui Dynasty with nearly 10 million households, a population of nearly 50 million, a million soldiers, and a territory of thousands of miles, it is still as different as ants and elephants.

Yi Feng people are outside the Great Wall, but they still haven't forgotten to investigate the movements of Yangzhou and Daxing.

On the Jingshi side, Yang Jian, the son of heaven, thought that he was the child of the crown prince and the crown princess back then, and after the crown prince Yang Yong actually recognized it like this, Yi Feng had already guessed the changes that this matter might bring. Among the three people, the Son of Heaven, the Prince, and the King of Jin, the Prince and the King of Jin are very clear about his true identity, only the Son of Heaven has some misunderstandings. After these news of Daxing reached Yi Feng, he immediately thought that this change might change the relationship between him and Yang Guang.

Ignore the Son of Heaven for the time being, between the crown prince and the king of Jin, who is a friend and who is an enemy?

Yi Feng saw it very clearly, this time the prince unexpectedly recognized him as a son, but he was very clear about the inside story. The prince sent someone to kidnap Ji Yao and let people hunt him down. There will never be any father-son affection between them. Although in a way, no matter how the crown princess Yuan secretly knotted the fetus, she got pregnant first and then got married. Although Yi Feng is not the prince's biological son, he can be regarded as his son, at least he is also an adopted son. But who is the prince, how can he accept the matter of helping others raise a son, and this son is still his own brother. Now that the prince has recognized it in front of the Son of Heaven, it is a big scandal that this matter has been concealed for many years. He definitely didn't want too many people to know. Second, now that he saw that the Son of Heaven was happy that his eldest grandson had been lost, he also wanted to take the opportunity to recognize this son to temporarily consolidate his position. But at the end of the day. Between the prince and Yi Feng, the contradiction is irreconcilable. Maybe the prince will temporarily act with him in order to consolidate his current critical position, but after all, they are not all the way.

Only Yang Guang, the king of Jin. is Yi Feng's biggest ally all along. This is because they are biological fathers and sons. A natural community of interests, Yi Feng is familiar with history, so he also knew that Yang Guang was the final victor in the battle for the princes. Knowing that Yang Guang was the winner in the end, how could Yi Feng bet on the losing side instead? Since because of these reasons, Yi Feng can only stand on Yang Guang's side now, he has to take practical actions to win Yang Guang's trust. Although, Yi Feng did not fully trust Yang Guang. He is desperately expanding his power in Huaihuang, but in fact, he has been preparing for the worst. But just because he won't really trust Yang Guang doesn't mean he won't find a way to make Yang Guang trust him.

At this time, the gift of one million yuan is indeed very timely. That big gift was like ice and snow sprinkled into boiling hot pot boiling water, and the successive victories of the million-dollar gift and the Huaihuang army quickly melted away the suspicion in Yang Guang's heart.

Judging from Yang Guang's full smile, Yi Feng's gift is worth it.

A million is indeed a lot, but there are also some small doorways in it. Yi Feng didn't really give away a million yuan directly, although Yi Feng had so much money, he never had so much cash. And even if it is exchanged for gold and silver, it is impossible for him to really give Yang Guang so much money, Huai Huangxing shì is very good, but the expenses are also large. Yi Feng's one million yuan of luxury gifts is actually all kinds of materials worth one million yuan, which is worth millions.

Specifically, there is a world of difference between a million worth of real money and a million dollars.

On Yi Feng's gift list, the first item is sixteen famous horses outside the Saiwai, all of which are the top horses, although eight hundred miles a day and eight hundred nights are insufficient, they are all superior, both in terms of quality and ability. Such a thousand miles of horses, Yi Feng's gift list is marked with a price of 1,000 yuan each. The best horse, a thousand horses, this price is not high, it is not low. Now the price of a horse in the Huaihuang horse market is about twenty-five silk, because the price of Huaihuang silk has risen, converted, a horse can be converted into about forty copper coins. And a war horse, two to three times as much as a horse, is worth eighty to one hundred and twenty dollars. A thousand-mile horse can be equivalent to the price of ten war horses, or more than 20 horses, but thousands of horses are hard to find, and they are often priceless. However, for Yi Feng, he defeated the Tiele people several times to obtain a large war horse, and he formed an alliance with Xi Qi Dan Fei three times, and the pastures of the three clans are like his horse farms, what kind of good horses are not? The sixteen war horses on the gift list are worth 16,000 yuan, but Yi Feng basically has no capital.

In addition to the sixteen horses, there were also 1,000 war horses, 3,000 horses, and 5,000 cattle on Yi Feng's gift list this time. The war horses are calculated according to each 100 guan, each horse is 25 guan, and each ox is 15 guan, and the total price of this batch of cattle and horses is 262,000 guan.

In addition, Yi Feng also sent Yang Guang ten pairs of Liaodong Haidongqing, each worth 10,000 yuan. This kind of king in the carving, it can't be measured at a normal price, it depends on whether you like it or not, people who like it spend tens of thousands of dollars and are willing to buy one, and people who don't like it you take it as a bird and cook it to eat, it's really not as good as it, just like calligraphy and painting. Yang Guang gave Gao Gong a painting of Cai Yong in the Eastern Han Dynasty, and he bought it for 20,000 yuan.

In addition, Yifeng's gift list also includes precious medicinal materials such as Liaodong century-old ginseng, mink, deer leaf and so on. In addition, there are Turkic white medicine, Turkic Ming Di, Khitan carved saddle, Dong Zhu of the Indigo Pearl, Tiele Iron and other special products, in addition to some special products of Huaihuang, snow salt, ice pond, liquor, white paper, books, in addition to plate armor, longbow, cavalry knife and other bits and pieces, the real real gold and silver, only 10,000 taels of gold and 50,000 taels of silver, these gold and silver are only worth 160,000 copper coins.

But no matter what, the gifts that Yi Feng gave to Yang Guang were indeed carried by carts, not to mention the boxes of gold and silver ingots. It was the thousand Tiele war horses and the thousand sets of iron plate armor that were enough to make Yang Guang happily close his mouth. He asked Guo Yan to build ordnance and train private soldiers in Hongzhou, and secretly operated it for several years. But the size of that private army has not been large. The biggest limitation is the lack of equipment, especially the lack of good horses and armor. Yang Guang knew the soldiers, and he knew very well that if he really wanted to fight, the boat soldiers in the south would not be of much use. The most important thing is the cavalry. The cavalry had to have good horses, but the south did not produce horses. All the horses were waiting to be brought from the north. And it is very difficult to buy war horses from the pastures in the north of the imperial court, and it is easier to get them if the number is smaller. If you want to get war horses to Jiangnan on a large scale for private use, it will definitely be easy to be detected by the imperial court. But Yi Feng's horse is different, his horse comes from outside the Saiwai and is completely out of the control of the imperial court. Moreover, his war horses were all transported to the south in the name of pulling horses. This avoided the attention of the imperial court. Last time a thousand war horses. This time, there were 1,000 war horses, 2,000 war horses in front and back, so that Yang Guang's private soldiers could quickly increase by 2,000 cavalry, which was like a tiger to his strength. What's more, the thousand sets of plate armor sent by Yi Feng, this kind of armor he had already tested, the real fine armor was lighter than the original iron armor. But the defense performance is higher.

Moreover, those horses, Haidongqing, Liaodong ginseng, Dongzhen and other things in Yifeng's gifts are not just good-looking luxuries. These things are easy to wind although the price tag is high. Yang Guang doesn't use it himself, but the land south of the Yangtze River is already extravagant, and he can give it away or take it out for resale, and he can immediately get a price that is only higher than that marked by Yi Feng. Not to mention the boxes of real money.

With such a large amount of money and jewelry, Yang Guang's financial problems were immediately solved, at least with this money, he was not short of money in a short time. With this money, he can even increase the co-optation and bribery of court officials and those aristocratic lords. And the war horses and armor sent by Yi Feng also raised the armed strength of Yang Guang's private soldiers to a new level. How could he not be happy, his wife Xiao's original provocation, he had already left it behind. If Yi Feng really didn't have the same heart as him, how could he take out so much money for himself at this time. In his mind, Yi Feng was still very smart, he was not confused by the rumors of Jingshi, he also knew that he was his biological father, and knew that their father and son were both prosperous and loss-making. Yi Feng's generosity immediately made Yang Guang have a good impression of this son, and even greatly improved his status in his heart.

Pei Zeng went south to Yangzhou for Yi Feng, and in addition to giving Yang Guang a million gifts, he also paid filial piety to the officials in Yangzhou. The mouth of eating people is soft, and the hands of people are short, for a time, Yangzhou is full of praise for Yi Feng and Wuzhou Army.

Next, Yang Guang held a banquet in the governor's mansion, and the banquet was very grand. With this large sum of money sent by Yi Feng, Yang Guang suddenly had a lot more money in his hands, he did not keep the money, but immediately took out a sum of money and held this grand banquet, taking the opportunity to summon a lot of civil and military officials from the forty-four states under the Yangzhou General Administrative District, and invited those wealthy families in the south of the Yangtze River to come, and even invited many Buddhist monks and famous monks to come together, which was very lively. Taking the opportunity of this banquet, Yang Guang spent money like flowing water, a large number of gold and silver were rewarded, and a large number of Dongzhen ginseng mink horses were sent out, and for a time, Yang Guang also gained countless loyalty and praise.

Guo Yan, the governor of Hongzhou, and Yu Wenshu, the governor of Shouzhou, each received 1,000 war horses and 500 sets of plate armor, and also received 1,000 cavalry knives and 1,000 longbows each. They all said that they would immediately train another 1,000 cavalry and 2,000 cavalry when they went back. Shouzhou is in the northwest of Yangzhou, and Hongzhou is in the southwest of Yangzhou, one guards the Huai River town, and the other guards the middle reaches of the Yangtze River, which are the two most important barriers in the periphery of Yangzhou. Yang Guang arranged his own guards in Yangzhou, and most of the soldiers and horses were guards on the surface. But in Hongzhou and Shouzhou, it is the place where he has been secretly recruiting troops and horses to train private soldiers, Guo Yan and Yu Wenshu In addition to the soldiers and horses in their hands, they each secretly accumulated dead soldiers for Yang Guang and accumulated grain training. The batch of war horses and ordnance sent by Yi Feng, Yang Guang gave them to the two of them, and asked them to recruit and train another army of soldiers and horses.

"Now that we have the money in hand, we need to practice more." Yang Guang had a large amount of money and food in his hands, and he had the source of war horses and armor in Huaihuang, so he also had a lot of appetite for expanding the private army. "I see you go back and train each of you another 3,000 cavalry and 5,000 infantry. I don't lack money and food now. The lack of war horses and armor, I will let Yi Feng find a way to solve it then. "It's a bold plan to train 8,000 men each.

Xiao Chen Pingyu's essay was a little surprised by Yang Guang's radical boldness. "Will it be too big a move, in case it attracts the attention of the imperial court, it will be troublesome."

"Try to be cautious." Yang Guang's eyes showed a resolute look, the movement on the Chang'an side made Yang Guang a little uncontrollable, the emperor is getting old day by day, but the prince is mediocre and incompetent, but he has always occupied the position of the prince. Yang Guang didn't know if he could get the Son of Heaven to abolish the crown prince. I don't know if I can wait until the day I sit in the storage seat. He was worried that things would not succeed until the day came, and in case the son of the day suddenly died, the new monarch would ascend the throne at that time. It's hard to get around. For this reason, he had to prepare with both hands, and when it really came to that time, even if he grabbed it, he had to snatch this throne back. Let the two henchmen each train 8,000 more soldiers and horses. Yang Guang also planned to train another 1,000 cavalry and 3,000 infantry in Yangzhou. In a word. Either you don't do it, or you can do it ruthlessly.

If it was in the past, Yang Guang would definitely not do this, he just wanted to train 20,000 horses at once, and he couldn't take out so much money and food, let alone so many ordnance and war horses to arm these soldiers. But now, he has money in his hands, and Yi Feng can also help him solve the problem of this ordnance war horse. He didn't think about letting Yi Feng supply it all. He was just optimistic about Yi Feng Huaihuang's particularity, which allowed him to obtain the war horses and ordnance he needed safely and secretly. If it weren't for the easy wind in the wilderness. Even if he Yang Guang had money, he didn't have the place to buy so many war horses and ordnance. With this secret supply point, Yang Guang's appetite suddenly increased.

Yu Wenshu's mind turned at this time, and he said to Yang Guang, "There is a good plan here that can improve the strength of our soldiers and horses." ”

"Oh, what's the solution, tell me about it." Yang Guang asked a little anxiously. Yang Guang, who has led soldiers, knows very well that the army does not recruit soldiers, and then simple training can be called the army. If you spend a lot of money and take a lot of risks, but you can't practice many real skills, then you will be depressed.

Yu Wenshu smiled, he has always been resourceful, and he has always been the number one strategist under King Jin. He voted for King Jin early, and the entire Yuwen family can be said to be tied to the fate of King Jin. "In fact, I think Yi Feng is very capable of leading troops, he has been in the north for less than a year, but his subordinates have trained tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, and have fought four major battles, although they are all won by strategy, but looking at the casualty statistics of both sides after the war, it can be seen that there is a huge difference. Each time, the casualties of the Huaihuang army were small, and they were able to achieve almost complete victories. The most powerful thing is that Yi Feng's soldiers are fighting more and more, and every time he fights, his soldiers can roll up. So I thought, maybe we can let Yi Feng help us train our troops. It's effective, but it's also safer to avoid some hidden dangers, isn't it? ”

Yi Feng's men had Yang Guang's soldiers, and when Yi Feng first went north, Yang Guang sent more than 300 personal guards to go north with him. It was also this group of guards who became the backbone of Yi Feng's initial soldiers and horses, and even later became instructors and officers, bringing out more soldiers for Yi Feng. Yi Feng originally borrowed Yang Guang's personal soldiers, the Gao family's private soldiers and the group of green forest heroes of the Tiger Alliance to borrow chickens and eggs, and finally pulled out a team of tens of thousands of his own soldiers and horses in a short period of time.

Now Yu Wenshu also wants to borrow chickens to lay eggs, and plans to borrow the chicken of the Huaihuang Army to give birth to the eggs of King Jin's private soldiers.

"We sent a group of recruits to Huaihuang to exchange the group of our people who had gone north for the original. In this way, the people we sent can be trained by Yi Feng, and the group of veterans who come back can already be regarded as elite veterans, they can use the old to lead the new, use them as the backbone to establish a new battalion, and use them to lead the training of the new battalion. After half a year and a year, we will send a group of recruits to Huaihuang to exchange the second group of people back, and then we will use this second group of people as the backbone to build a new battalion."

Hearing this, Yang Guang's eyes couldn't help but light up. This plan is good and very operational. In this way, you can greatly speed up the strengthening of training, especially sending people to Yifeng for training first, and then coming back to build a new battalion with the old and the new, and using this as the backbone to establish a new battalion, this model is really good. Yang Guang has sent people north several times, and now there are no less than 1,000 private soldiers of the King of Jin in the Huaihuang Army, and the experience of these soldiers and horses in the Huaihuang Army has always been fed back to Yangzhou, Yang Guang knows very well that these soldiers have been trained by Huaihuang and participated in the war several times, and now they are far better than before. Combat is the best training, and at the same time, Huaihuang's training is really good. In addition, putting the soldiers in Huaihuang for training can greatly avoid the detection of some imperial courts. After all, privately owning soldiers and horses, even if it is a prince like Yang Guang, who is in charge of a place, he has to be careful and careful.

"Well, okay, then first select 3,000 people to go north in batches, and return to the previous batches of more than 1,000 people." Yang Guang made a decision.

"The king, this kind of cavalry knife and plate armor produced by Huaihuang is really fine, the cavalry knife is sharp, the plate armor is strong and light, if you can, please buy more from Huaihuang." Guo Yan also put forward his own opinions.

Yang Guang smiled: "No problem! (To be continued......)
