Wang Jingyin kept counting the number of soldiers and horses mobilized by the Qin army, there were 230,000 soldiers in the four legions alone, not counting the garrisons of various provinces, states and counties, as well as a large number of unity soldiers, township soldiers, militias, etc., if they were all assembled, the soldiers of the entire Qin Domain could mobilize at least 400,000, and the auxiliary soldiers of the township soldiers could recruit more than 600,000, a real army of one million.

When the horses sent by Chengde Town returned, the Qin troops in various states and counties were gathered, and there were war horses and soldiers everywhere, and Chengde Town was really shocked. Even if the Qin army had to keep troops stationed in various places, as long as the Qin army transferred one-third of the troops and horses to attack, it would be 300,000.

In addition, the Tanma of Chengde Town also discovered that the Qin army had mobilized unimaginable firearms troops this time. There are a full 3,000 flying thunder cannons just for the Iron Cavalry Corps, and the Qin army has also built a new pure firearms unit in the past two years, a 5,000-person Shenji Army, and they have a thousand flying thunder cannons in one army, and there are many crossbow machine throwing cannons here, etc., a complete firearms unit. And they also had fifteen thousand horses, which was a firearms force that ran no slower than the cavalry.

Chengde Tanma found that the artillery units of the Shenji Army and the Iron Cavalry Corps carried a large number of artillery crossbows and chariots and horses from the camp near Yanjing and set off to Tianjin. Obviously, they were going to use the frozen rivers in Tianjin as a fast southward passage to transport firearms to the south.

Wang Jingyin and the others were completely stunned, they didn't know that the Qin army did have a lot of firearms troops. The Flying Thunder Cannon is actually very simple to make, simpler than a catapult, but it requires steel. Guns are easy to make, but gunpowder is difficult to make. Today's gunpowder weapons are not very powerful. High consumption. A random cannon is dozens of catties of gunpowder. Moreover, firearms must be used on a centralized scale to be lethal. Alone it doesn't work at all. In recent years, the Qin army has continued to expand the production of gunpowder, but it is basically supplied to the Bohai battlefield.

As a result, although there is now an extremely professional military type of Divine Machine Army, the whole army now adds up to tens of thousands of flying thunder cannons, but most of them have no guns. This time, Li Jing mobilized the artillery units of the Divine Machine Army and the Iron Cavalry Army to pull out the artillery, but in fact it was not to fight Chengde. Li Jing couldn't fight if he wanted to, and these cannons didn't have much gunpowder. He just pulled it out to scare Chengde Town, and at the same time transported the cannon to Tianjin. Then the Shenji Army will be transferred to the northeast, and most of the other artillery will be issued to the Hebei, Shandong, and Jianghuai armies for equipment.

However, this time, thousands of flying thunder cannons really scared Wang Jingyin.

After confirming that the Qin army was heading to Tianjin to assemble with thousands of flying thunder cannons, he immediately sent a message to Wang Yi, who was already on the road, saying that he should speed up his speed to Yanjing and reach an armistice agreement with the Qin army as soon as possible.

Wang Jingyi originally thought that Li Jing would not agree so easily, after all, Li Jing had already set up the shelf, how could he give up easily?

But unexpectedly. Li Jing gladly accepted his request for peace, and quickly ordered the armies to stop the offensive further. The follow-up troops on the border also began to withdraw, and the mobilized township soldiers, unity soldiers and other auxiliary soldiers and civilians also withdrew back to their hometowns.

The generals of the Qin army on the front line commanded the border of soldiers and horses all the way, but they also immediately stopped the war horses, and no one disobeyed the order.

When Li Cunxiao received a summons from the King of Qin a few days ago and asked him to lead the dragoon army south to the river, he thought that the King of Qin was preparing to make a fake show and destroy Chengde Town in one fell swoop, and he was very happy. As a result, King Qin's subsequent words made him depressed, and King Qin told him that this time the plan was very successful, and now it was time to conclude. Therefore, he was specially asked to lead 5,000 dragoons to the south, let them put on a full set of equipment, and show the military appearance of the Qin army in front of the envoy of Chengde and show the military might of the Qin army. To put it bluntly, the King of Qin gave him a task to pick up the peace mission from Chengde Town to Beijing.

Standing outside Hejian City at this time, Li Cunxiao suddenly wanted to raise his spear and leap on his horse, and led his five thousand dragoons to rush up and cut down all these messengers as if they were cutting melons and vegetables, and then he took his subordinates all the way to Shenzhou, Zhaozhou, and Zhenzhou, and destroyed this thorn in the eye in one fell swoop.

Although he understood that if he asked King Qin, King Qin would definitely have a bunch of reasons such as strategy, plan, and trade-offs to reply to him, indicating that it was not suitable to play Chengde at this time.

"Peace, peace, bird!" Li Cunxiao took a sip in his heart, he was afraid of wolves and tigers, how could there be so much to be afraid of in a war. Although it is just a fight, even if the situation of the Qin Domain is not very good now, and the foundation is thin, isn't it like this to compete for the world. Everyone tighten their belts, endure it, and it's over. I always think that this is good, and that is good, how can there be such a good thing.

Suddenly, he grabbed the horse's belly, turned the horse's head, and galloped towards the southern city of the river fortress.

"Legion Commander!"

"Huai'an County Gong!"

None of the officials and generals present expected him to come with such a hand, and shouted behind him in a hurry. But Li Cunxiao didn't look back, and had already ridden his horse and disappeared into the city gate. Everyone looked at each other, and they all couldn't laugh or cry.

On the same day, the eastern capital was Luoyang.

The eastern capital stayed in the official office, by the indoor stove, and there were several fruits and snacks on the table, all of which were not available in previous years, and they were all shipped from Shandong. On either side of the stone table were two men, one with a pale face and a white face. One has a hideous face and a one-eyed scar face. Next to them, there was also a square-faced strong man, wearing a brocade robe, who was working as a military chess referee.

If it weren't for the fact that there were guards in iron armor and armed with guns and knives everywhere outside the house, there would have been a leisurely sigh.

"Has Li Jing, the dragon, woken up yet?" The white-faced old man picked up the jade cup in front of him, took a sip of red wine, and put the cup back on the table. When he spoke, a pair of eyes seemed to be smiling, but there was a sharpness in the laughter, and he kept staring at the scar-faced man opposite. ”

"After nearly two years of silence, Li Jing has almost digested everything he swallowed before." Li Keyong looked back at his father-in-law, who was one of the three most powerful eunuchs in the world today, and was gloomy for a while. The characters who can make Yang Fuguang hang on his lips are naturally amazing. Li Jing, who has been very low-key since the Battle of Daibei, is suddenly moving again. And it was a great action, the mobilization of the whole people, the assembly of all kinds of soldiers and horses, and the recruitment of auxiliary soldiers and civilians on a large scale, this sudden situation can be said to have scared the whole world.

Qin Fan's actions made all the towns in the world have to focus their eyes.

Li Jing is too strong, and he has expanded too fast in recent years. Last time, Li Jing annexed the two towns of Datong and Yanmen at once, and further along, he annexed the two towns of Lulong and Yiwu, and a little further, he also annexed Cangjing Town, Ganhua Town, Taining Town, and half of Huainan, indirectly controlling the three towns of Tianping, Yicheng and Xuanwu.

Every time they sorted, the Qin army would return with a full load.

In the face of such an oriental dragon, no one can ignore it.

Now, Li Jing has sent troops again, and the scale of mobilization is larger than every time, which can't help but make people worry, maybe this time Li Jing is no longer satisfied with just annexing one or two feudal towns at a time, maybe he has a bigger plan and a bigger appetite.

"Is Li Jing's target really just Chengde Town?"

It stands to reason that Li Jing's target may indeed be Chengde, followed by Wei Bo. These are the only two feudal towns that still exist in Hebei today. Li Jing has long wanted to sweep Hebei, so that whether it is westward or southward, Li Jing can connect Hebei on behalf of Beibei and Shandong Huaisi. "The river festival on the side, who was the referee, made Wang Chongrong say.

Li Ke pinched the chess pieces for a long time and did not move.

"Does King Jin have a different idea?" Yang Fuguang asked. Many people saw that Li Keyong had lost the land of Daibei, and they all thought that Li Keyong had become a lost dog and was no longer valuable. But Yang Fuguang didn't think so, but he felt that Li Keyong was more valuable to him after losing Daibei. Because Li Keyong, who has lost his foundation, can be controlled by him from then on and become the most powerful thug under him. Although Li Keyong was defeated many times under Li Jing, he believed in his judgment of Li Jing more and more. There is a good saying that the one who knows a person best is not his friend, but his enemy. And Li Keyong is the enemy who knows Li Jing best.

"I don't know, but I always feel that something is not right." Li Keyong shook his head, "I've been fighting against Li Thief for so many years, and I know him a little." This person uses soldiers, just like a cook, and the level of use of soldiers is extremely superb. can look at Li Jing's actions this time, but he can't understand it. Mobilize troops and horses from various provinces, and even mobilize auxiliary soldiers and civilians from dozens of states, and the total mobilization of military and civilian scale reaches one million? If such a transfer were to be replaced by any other general, I would believe that they would indeed destroy Chengde in one fell swoop. But if it's Li Jing, it's very weird. ”

Yang Fuguang also nodded, Li Jing had many battles to destroy feudal towns in front of him, and he destroyed several feudal towns, but each time he dispatched not too many troops. There has never been such a war of national mobilization, that is, in the last battle of Daibei, Li Jing brought in a lot of helpers, but he never moved a single soldier south of the Yellow River.

Li Jing wants to deal with Chengde, and even if he wants to deal with Wei Bo together, he doesn't need so many soldiers at all. Fighting a war is not the case with more soldiers, the better.

"What do you mean Li Jing is just bluffing this time, and he doesn't really want to attack Chengde? But what is he doing this, and what is his purpose? Wang Chongrong was puzzled. The mobilization of soldiers and horses also consumes a lot of grain and grass, especially such a national mobilization, even if it is the end of the year and the cold winter, this is also a lot of expenses. Li Jing doesn't have a lot of money and food and has nowhere to use it, otherwise, how can it be?

Li Keyong replied noncommittally: "Li Jing is extremely cunning, and he is guessing here with just a little information, it is really difficult to know what Li Jing wants to do, and I don't know where he is pointing." However, no matter what, we can't sit back and watch Li Jing expand like this, otherwise, once Li Jing pacifies Hebei, he will be waving troops in the Central Plains! (To be continued......)
