Chapter 512: Yang Jun's Choice
Listening to the scout's report, Yang Guo was shocked, he didn't expect that his father Yang Chu was actually assassinated, and all the people in the city believed that he sent his henchmen to kill his father and seize the throne.
Yang An, who was beside Yang Guo, was even more angry, his face was full of anger, and he said loudly: "Father, Yang Songnu, it must be Yang Songnu who killed his grandfather, and he actually wants to blame his father, it is really despicable and shameless, give the child a soldier and horse, and the child will definitely be able to enter Xiafen City and cut off the head of Yang Songnu's thief." β
Yang Guo was shocked, but quickly calmed down, he knew that the result of his impulsiveness at this moment was to fall into Yang Songnu's tricks.
"My son is brave, but must not be reckless, since Yang Songnu dares to usurp the throne and stand on his own, he must have some preparations, at this moment, the entire Xiafen City is under his control, our army rashly attacked, I am afraid that it will not be easy to win." Yang Guo frowned and said.
Yang An gasped angrily and said loudly: "Father, then what are we going to do, just let Yang Songnu do whatever he wants?" β
Yang Guo thought for a moment, and said: "At present, the strength of our army is only 5,000, and the 5,000 Imperial Forest Army in Xiafen City has been controlled by Yang Songnu, and the strength of our army is not enough to crusade against Yang Songnu, unless my uncle can help me." β
"What my father said is that my uncle is the general of my Qiu Chi, with an army of 10,000, if he can fight with our army, he will definitely be able to capture Xia Zhi, kill Yang Songnu, and avenge his grandfather." Yang An said affirmatively.
Yang Guo nodded and looked at Yang An. He said softly: "For my father, I will go back and write a letter to my uncle, explain what happened, ask him to send troops to help, and the task of assembling the army will be handed over to you." β
Yang An hugged his fists and said: "Father, don't worry, the child will immediately assemble the three armies and be ready to crusade against Yang Songnu at any time." After speaking, he strode in the direction of the military camp in the city.

In Wudu City, west of Xiaban City, Yang Jun, the general of Qiu Chi State, received a letter from Xiaban City, which was naturally a letter written by Yang Songnu himself.
When Yang Jun opened the letter, he learned that such a huge change had taken place in Xiaban City. I couldn't help but be surprised. It took a long time to recover.
"Father, your face is so ugly, is there something wrong in the direction of Xiazhi City?" Yang Shi saw that his father's face was abnormal, and hurriedly stepped forward to ask.
Yang Jun handed the letter in his hand to Yang Shi. Whispered, "Take a look! Something big happened in the city. My hatred of the country has changed. β
Yang Shi hurriedly took the letter and read it. Then he exclaimed, "Father, how is this possible? Brother Guo has always been filial to his uncle, how can he kill his father and seize the throne? Could there be something else going on? After speaking, he frowned.
Yang Jun smiled. praised and said: "My son has made great progress, there is naturally an ulterior secret in this, Yang Songnu, this kid can deceive others, how can he deceive the old man, hehe!" After speaking, he reprimanded disdainfully.
Yang Shi hurriedly hugged his fists and said: "Father, no matter whether there is another hidden secret in this, but Yang Songnu has already been called a prince after all, and he is willing to share the world with his father, can we turn a blind eye and pretend not to know anything, and then sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, let Yang Songnu and the national brother fight and lose both, and then we can sit and reap the benefits of the fisherman." β
Yang Jun smiled and praised: "My son is really getting better and better, holding 10,000 heavy soldiers for his father, at this time, it must be the object of Yang Songnu and Yang Guo's hard work, now, whoever supports his father can sit firmly in the position of Qiu Chigong, haha!" β
Yang Shi smiled slyly at the corner of his mouth, and said softly: "Since this is the case, why doesn't my father take advantage of this incident and directly claim the title of public in order to be admired by all the people." β
When Yang Jun heard this, he frowned and reprimanded: "My son is talking nonsense, because his father is not the prince of the country, how can he claim to be a prince without authorization, this kind of rebellious words, you must not talk nonsense in the future." β
Seeing that his mention made his father angry, Yang Shi was a little unhappy, paused, and asked: "Judging from the current situation, there will be a big war between Yang Songnu and Brother Guo, who does my father plan to support?" β
Yang Jun frowned and thought for a long time, and said softly: "I think that back then, Yang Yi, the elder brother of Yang Songnu was killed by his father and the first father, Yang Songnu knew about this, since he could kill the first father and stand on his own, it is difficult to guarantee that he will sit firmly in the future and will not kill his father!" β
"Father's meaning is to support Brother Guo." Yang Shi heard what his father meant, that is, to support Yang Guo, who was stationed in Hechi City.
Yang Jun nodded and said softly: "Even if we support Yang Guo, we must not do our best, after all, my father and Yang Guoxian's nephew have not seen each other for many years, people's hearts will change, only if our army maintains enough troops, can we prevent it in the future." β
"What the father said is that the child wrote it down." Yang Shi responded with a fist.
Yang Jun waved his hand and said softly: "Immediately gather men and horses, and prepare all kinds of materials needed for the army to go on the expedition, as soon as the time comes, we will march to Xiafen City." β
"Father, don't worry, it's all handed over to the child." Yang Shi clenched his fists and took the order, turned around and went to convey the order.

A few days later, the cong sent by Huang Fuming arrived in Nanzheng City and handed over the letter to Hua'an as soon as possible.
Hua An opened the letter, and saw that the development of things was exactly according to his expectations, and he couldn't help but be very happy, if it goes on like this, it won't be long before several main armies of Qiu Chi Kingdom will kill each other, and then, just lead a partial division, you can easily take Qiu Chi.
"Big brother, General Chen led the main army of 10,000 and has arrived outside the west gate of Nanzheng City." Just when Hua'an was extremely happy, Wang San came over and reported the news of the arrival of Chen Ting's army.
"Great, they came at the right time, by the way, how many weapons and armor do we still have in our army treasury, is it enough to equip seven thousand troops?" Hua An suddenly thought that Chen Ting's troops had 7,000 recruits, and they lacked weapons and armor.
Wang San hurriedly replied: "Big brother, the last batch of weapons and armor have been transported to the direction of Yizhou, and now there are not many in the warehouse, but Zhao Wu should have extra weapons there, and some can be temporarily transferred." β
Hearing this, Hua An pondered for a while, and said softly: "Okay! You immediately go to Zhao Wu to see if there are any extra weapons, and I'll go to the armory hall to find Pu Tie. After speaking, he left the Thorn History Mansion and walked in the direction of the Armory Hall.
At this time, in the armory hall, Pu Tiezheng was directing a group of blacksmiths to build weapons and armor, and when he saw Hua An walking in, he hurriedly greeted him.
"General, why are you here?" Pu Tie said hello.
Hua An looked left and right, and said softly: "The newly built armory hall is magnificent, is there anything missing?" After speaking, he looked at Pu Tie.
Pu Tie grinned and replied, "General, we don't lack anything here, we have all kinds of supplies. β
"It's good that you don't lack anything, Pu Tie, Ben will ask you, how many weapons can you fight in a day?" Huaan asked.
Pu Tie thought for a moment and replied truthfully: "General Hui, it depends on what kind of weapon is built, long weapon or short weapon, ordinary weapon or weapon with iron like mud, the best weapon, only one piece will take several years to build?" β
"Ten years of sharpening a sword, I can't afford to wait, it's a big sword that ordinary soldiers fight, how many can be made in a month?" Hua An asked with a smile.
Pu Tie thought for a moment and replied, "General, if it is an ordinary ring-headed knife, you can build up to a thousand in a day. β
"Okay, great, Pu Tie, from today onwards, you will let them make every effort to build the Ring Head Sword, which will be in urgent need of four thousand, as well as more spears and crossbows." Hua An looked at Pu Tie and ordered.
"The general can rest assured that the last general will go all out to complete the task as soon as possible." Pu Tie hurriedly expressed his determination.
Hua An nodded with satisfaction, looked in the direction of making zuΓ² armor, and asked, "Is there any difficulty in making zuΓ² armor, and how many pieces of armor can be made in a day." β
Pu Tie replied: "General, the production of iron armor is quite time-consuming, the raw materials of leather armor are insufficient, only the production of bamboo armor is simple and the raw materials are sufficient, if all the bamboo armor is made, more than 500 pieces can be made a day." β
Hua An hesitated for a moment and ordered, "Okay! Pu Tie, let the craftsmen who make zuΓ² armor go all out to build bamboo armor, it will take 7,000 pieces, can it be completed in half a month? β
"Rest assured, the general will definitely be able to complete the task." Pu Tie hurriedly said.
Hua An nodded and said, "Okay, it's almost enough to have these, as for the shield, it would be good to let the baggage battalion make its own zuΓ²." After speaking, Xiang Xiang left the armory hall and walked in the direction of the adjacent baggage camp.
In the baggage camp, Hua An ordered the soldiers of the baggage battalion to immediately build enough shields to supply the needs of Chen Ting's army, and after arranging this qiΔ, Hua An took a group of personal soldiers to the west gate.
At this time, Chen Ting's 10,000-strong army had already set up camp outside the west gate of Nanzheng City, and the main general Chen Ting was patrolling around the camp to see if the camp had been built.
Seeing Hua'an enter the camp with a group of personal soldiers, Chen Ting hurriedly greeted him, hugged his fists and said: "General, the last general has recruited 7,000 recruits, and he has specially led the army to return to his life." β
Hua An nodded with satisfaction, and ordered: "From tomorrow, train these recruits well, weapons and armor may not be enough for the time being, let the recruits use wooden sticks first, this general has already made the armory hall and the baggage battalion step up construction, at most half a month, all weapons and armor will be sent to every soldier." β
"Yes, General, the last general will definitely step up the training of new soldiers." Chen Ting hurriedly clenched his fists and made a statement.
Subsequently, Hua An inspected the camp of Chen Ting's army, and then rode back to the Assassin's Mansion.
After returning to the Assassin's Mansion, Hua An, Ma Dang, Xie Siming, Zhang Yu and others studied the current situation in Qiu Chi State, and Hua An deliberately concealed the fact that Huang Fuming participated in the coup d'Γ©tat of Qiu Chi State in order to prevent more people from knowing this disgraceful fact.
