Xie Ai took a closer look at the terrain of the valley, nodded and said: "Okay, the gourd valley here is really a godsend, our army's 20,000 elite chariots will train here, in addition, build a granary in the small valley outside, so that it can not only supply the chariot troops at any time, but also play a role of cover, in case the gourd valley here is discovered by the Yan country, they will also think that this is our army's secret grain and grass base, and will not suspect that there are 20,000 elite chariot troops of our army here." ”
"The general is too thoughtful, so let's do it, train chariot troops in the big valley, and build a granary in the small valley, so that it must be foolproof." Zhang Hao said loudly.
Yang An thought for a moment and said softly: "General, the last general thinks that not only should two checkpoints be set up at the mouth of the valley, but also interception checkpoints should be set up at the junction of the two valleys, and the chariot troops and the baggage soldiers who manage the granaries should be prohibited from contacting each other. ”
When Xie Ai heard this, he nodded, and said, "Okay, it seems that General Yang is more thoughtful than this general!" Then do it, it's not early, let's return to Yecheng, and from tomorrow, we will gradually start to prepare. ”
"Yes, General." Yang An and Zhang Oyster answered, followed behind Xie Ai, and returned to Yecheng.
After arriving in Yecheng, Xie Ai, Yang An, and Zhang Hao could arrange tasks and order hundreds of henchmen to immediately go to Hulu Valley and start building a checkpoint. In the two valleys, tents were built enough for thousands of soldiers to camp in order to provide a place for the first batch of soldiers to enter the gourd valley.
Due to the 20,000 chariot troops, it is too much to enter the Hulu Valley at one time, for this reason. After consulting with his generals, Xie Ai decided to let the chariot troops enter the Hulu Valley in batches.
And because the elite troops are trained in the Hulu Valley, which are the killer troops against the Yan State in the future, for this reason, Xie Ai decided to transfer most of the original 20,000 veterans to the Hulu Valley, and accordingly gradually transfer the soldiers of the reserve army to the charioteer battalion, so as to maintain the scale of the original chariot troops. It is difficult for Yan Guo to find flaws.
In order to conceal the meticulous work of Yan Guo as much as possible, the mobilization of chariot troops was carried out at night, and 1,000 chariots were allocated every night, a total of 4,000 chariot soldiers entered the Hulu Valley, and 4,000 reserve regiments and 1,000 baggage vehicles were imported into the chariot battalion.
A few days later, 5,000 chariots and a large number of military supplies allocated by Luoyang City arrived in Yecheng, and at this time, the chariot camp on the outskirts of Yecheng was in the camp. Most of the 20,000 elite chariot troops entered Hulukou. Of the 20,000 soldiers in the battalion, most of them were reserve soldiers, and only a few veteran charioteers with combat experience were available.
After a large number of chariots and other weapons entered the charioteer camp, Xie Ai hurriedly ordered the baggage soldiers to use the cover of night to transport 3,000 giant crossbows and numerous bows and spears to the Hulu Valley. So that the elite chariot troops in Hulu Valley can conduct large-scale training as much as possible.
And the chariot battalion on the outskirts of Yecheng also immediately began training, although this chariot unit was not elite. But it must not be wasted, after all, as long as it is a chariot, it is the main force of the battlefield impact, and it is the core force in the frontal offensive battle.
As soon as the 20,000 chariot troops in the Hulu Valley were ready, Xie Ai immediately sent 3,000 heavy troops to the small valley mouth of the Hulu Valley, and immediately established a large granary there, so as to supply the grain and grass consumption of the chariot troops at any time, and cover the chariot troops in the valley, making it difficult for Yan Guo to find out.
Only seven or eight days later, the chariot troops on the outskirts of Yecheng and Hulu Valley all began to undergo rigorous training, and they were all proceeding in an orderly manner.
Seeing that all the troops were already on the right track, Xie Ai and his subordinates were very happy, and if this continued, it would not be long before the 20,000 elite chariot troops could form a strong combat effectiveness, so as to attack the main force of the Yan army head-on when it went south.
"General, the chariot troops in the gourd valley have started training according to the general's plan, should the general go and give some advice." Yang An looked at Xie Ai and asked softly.
When Xie Ai heard this, he shook his head slightly, and said: "No need, this will be the chief general stationed in Hebei, if this general runs to Hulu Valley every once in a while, it will definitely attract great attention from Yan Guo's fine work, so that they will start to pay attention to Hulu Valley, so, in order to hide this elite army, it is better for this general not to go, and the matter of training will bother General Yang more, and if there is any accident in the valley, you must immediately notify this general." ”
"What the general said is that the last general understands that if there is any abnormality in the valley, the last general will immediately notify the general." Yang An Zhengse said.
When Zhang Hao heard this, he said: "The general is the chief general of Hebei, but General Yang is also an important general of Hebei, and General Yang often goes to Hulu Valley, which will definitely arouse the suspicion of Yan Guo, isn't it!" After speaking, he looked at Yang An.
Yang An smiled and said loudly: "General Zhang has won the award, how can I be compared with the general?" Besides, the chariot unit is the unit under my command, so how can I do it if I don't guide the training? ”
Seeing Zhang Oy's reminder, Xie Ai also felt that if Yang An often went to Hulu Valley, it would be very easy to attract Yan Guo's attention, so he looked at Yang An and said: "General Yang, you are usually in the chariot battalion on the outskirts of Yecheng, responsible for training recruits, and the training of Hulu Valley should be handed over to the generals!" You only need to go once every half a month, and each time you go at night, and return the next night, so it shouldn't attract the attention of Yan Guo's fine work. ”
When Yang An heard this, he said: "What the general said is that the general will go to the gourd valley once every half a month, so that every time the general goes to the gourd valley, he will find that the soldiers have improved." ”
Xie Ai nodded and said softly: "When this batch of elite chariot troops forms combat effectiveness, the general will still go to watch it in person, just bear with it for the time being." ”
After all, if you want to hold Hebei, it is useless to rely on the charioteers with strong impact power, after all, the number of charioteers is limited, and they are not flexible and fast enough to deal with the mobile and flexible cavalry of the Yan State, and when they are victorious, they cannot pursue the defeated cavalry of the Yan State, so the importance of the cavalry is not worse than that of the charioteers, and in addition to the 40,000 main charioteers under Xie Ai's command, it is the 80,000 main cavalry, The strength of the main cavalry was twice that of the charioteers, which shows the importance of cavalry.
In addition, after the 50,000 reserve regiment was transferred to the chariot battalion with 20,000 horses, there were only 30,000 reserve regiments left, although Xie Ai wanted to immediately recruit 20,000 reserve regiments, but at this time the financial resources were relatively tight, the most important thing was that Li Shuqu built water conservancy on a large scale, consuming a lot of manpower, and the young and middle-aged people in Hebei were all conscripted to build water canals, so naturally they could not recruit reserve regiments.
However, the main role of the reserve corps on the battlefield is to substitute, that is to say, if the main army is damaged in battle, then, the reserve corps officers and soldiers can be immediately supplemented, so that the establishment of the main corps remains intact, it can be seen that the reserve corps is also a very important force, but the importance can not be compared with the main corps, for this reason, it does not matter if there is a lack of a little for the time being, after all, the construction of water conservancy is a century-old plan, which is very important to agriculture, and only the development of agriculture is an important guarantee for stabilizing Hebei.

In the direction of Luoyang City, Hua'an continuously received secret reports from the direction of Jiankang City, and the situation reported by these detailed works was basically the same, that is, Huan Wen sent his henchmen to lobby the court ministers, so that the court ministers gradually moved closer to him.
And this situation, if it continues to develop, is very unfavorable to Hua'an, after all, these officials have a lot of influence, and even have a great impact on public opinion in Jiangnan.
With the development of the situation, the people in Jiangnan have begun to complain about Hua'an, and began to think that Hua'an is a rebellious generation, in the restaurant teahouse, some idle ordinary people will discuss the affairs of the court in private, and they also began to gradually talk about when Hua'an will rebel.
These people's talk is everywhere, and naturally it is easy to be investigated by the fine work sent by Hua'an, who naturally realizes the severity of this matter, so he immediately sends this important news to Luoyang City and handed it over to Hua'an, so that Hua'an can respond.
Knowing that the public opinion in Jiangnan is becoming more and more unfavorable to himself, Hua'an immediately realized the severity of the situation, after all, the people's mouth is very terrible, once the public opinion in Jiangnan is unfavorable to itself, it will not be long before such unfavorable remarks will spread to the Central Plains and Hebei, if you do not respond immediately, once the people think that they are rebels, the consequences will be very strict, after all, the power of the people is very strong, if you can't establish a good image in the hearts of the people, You will not be able to gain a foothold in the world.
"Your Majesty, such a tricky situation in Jiangnan is completely caused by the King of the South, this King of the South is really hateful, and he should really be broken into pieces." Zhuge Xiong scolded loudly.
"Your Majesty, the development of the situation has become more and more serious, we must not sit idly by, we must immediately find a way to fight back, otherwise, once the people of the world begin to oppose us, the consequences will be unimaginable." Wang San said loudly.
Hua An frowned and looked at Wang San, and said softly: "Wang San, how are you going to fight back." ”
"Your Majesty, it's better to send troops to attack Jingzhou immediately, as long as you take Jingzhou and extinguish the arrogance of Nanwang Xiao'er, it will be easy to do in one breath." Before Wang San could answer, Deng Qiang shouted loudly.
