It seemed that he was pulled back to his senses by a few brothers, Hong Kui's eyes fell on Hu Biao: "Da Biao, don't underestimate those bandits, they are familiar with each other, although they are on land, but they should not be underestimated, be careful of overturning in the gutter, you have to think about how to fight next." ”

"Don't worry, boss, I know in my heart, I've been here for so many years, I still have some people here in Suchang, Shouzhang, and Sucheng, and they have been arranged, although there is no order yet, but I don't dare to slack off, the stupid bird flies first, and it's always right to go to the front." Hu Biao smiled and wiped his mouth: "Don't worry, boss, I won't give you a face." ”

"Well, it's good that you understand, as soon as the Privy Council was established, the General Staff is said to have begun to make a strategy, Haizhou and Yunzhou are both county and county places, and I estimate that within three months, Haizhou will be taken, as for Yunzhou, it will not be delayed for too long, and everything will definitely be settled before the end of spring next year. ”

Hong Kui breathed a sigh of relief, Hu Biao was thick on the outside and dense on the inside, and he was also very familiar with the northern part of Yunzhou, otherwise he would not dare to recommend the other party to the position of commander of the Third Army of the Wuning Left Army, you must know that taking this position is also a considerable risk, now it seems that his vision is right, Hu Biao knows the priorities.

"Then I have to work harder after I go back, the combat effectiveness of this Luzhou army is still good, even if it is not as good as the gang of sons and daughters under us, it is not far behind, then Chai Yong's general method of war still has some doorways, I heard that he is also a strong man in the small heaven, I'm afraid it is not much worse than the boss." Hu Biao nodded.

"Hmph, do you think that the county public election is all untargeted? For generals, the level of martial arts is not the most important, the key lies in the method of training and the way of using troops, Chai Yong was originally the commander of Wu Guode's victory army, and he was an extremely powerful character in himself. Hong Kui's face was expressionless, "There is no one who can enter the eyes of the county public law who is in vain." ”

"Boss, that royal privy envoy ......" Gu Conghu hesitated.

"Do you think his martial arts level is not good?" Hong Kui glanced at the other party.

Gu Conghu nodded honestly.

"He is the son of Wang Rong, the former commander of the Chengde Army, a family of generals, and his martial arts level is certainly inferior to me, but I am far inferior to him in terms of strategic vision and tactics. Hong Kui is like narrating a matter that has nothing to do with him, "The county prince relies on him very much, and the commander of this cavalry army also let him take over temporarily, and it is estimated that someone else will take over in the future." ”

"Boss, can't you ......," Lang Ya couldn't help but say.

"We have just joined the hands of the county magistrate, and we have not made an inch, and the county magistrate can promote me to this position, I am afraid that many people will not be convinced. Hong Kui shook his head, "I don't want anything else now, train this army well, the future battles will be fierce and frequent, and we won't have too much time, so I've been most worried about this in the past few days." ”

Gu Conghu and the three of them looked at each other, some of them didn't quite understand the boss's worries, the war was very fierce and frequent, isn't this a good thing?

As if he had guessed the doubts in the heart of his old subordinate, Hong Kui shook his head, but he didn't reveal much.

In fact, the county prince also had some reservations in his conversation, of course, that reservation was not a distrust of himself, otherwise there would be no need to specially summon himself to such a conversation, probably because he was not ready, or he was not sure about the changes in the situation in the north.

It's just that some of the things revealed in the words of the county prince are enough to move him and be shocked, the north?

Pinglu, Heshuo, and Daliang don't seem to be either, or even more distant, Hedong and the Khitans? Could these be the enemy opponents that the county is actively preparing to deal with?

If this is the case, where will the battlefield be in the future? It must be Heshuo or the western part of Pinglu, and the cavalry will become the main force, no wonder the county guild confessed to itself in an unusually solemn tone, this is by no means a pretentious gesture, Hong Kui, who has been up and down for decades, can feel it.

Hong Kui is not worried about the cavalry under his command, but to train a cavalry team of up to 15,000 people within half a year, and even to compete with the cavalry of the Khitan Iron Cavalry and the Shatuo Iron Cavalry, it must be said that this challenge is very difficult.

Now even the war horses are very different, even if the county prince has repeatedly promised that thousands of war horses will be provided in place within three months, Hong Kui is still a little worried, where did these thousands of war horses come from?

Even if you have money, you may not be able to buy such a large number of war horses right away.

In any case, taking Xuzhou is a big gain for Jiang Feng, which means that Huaiyou (Wuning) already has the strength to fight the first battle, even if there is still a lot of room for discussion in this battle, but there is no doubt that Huaiyou won this battle.

Even if Haizhou has not been taken back now, even if Nanyingzhou has been gained and lost, even if Yunzhou is still entrenched by lake bandits, the four states of Xusi and Yanyi are really in the bag.

In addition to the land of these four states, the integration of more than 30,000 troops into the Huaiyou (Wuning) system is undoubtedly a huge gain, of course, it will take time to completely digest and integrate these more than 30,000 soldiers and horses into the Huaiyou (Wuning) army system.

However, Jiang Feng is not too worried about this, for these armies, even if they still have some independence now, and there are some imprints of the mountain system, but with the ensuing wars, they will soon be tempered and sublimated in the war, gradually remove and refine those impurities, and become a member of the real Huaiyou (Wuning) army.

Just like the original Luzhou Army, the generals Qin Han, Chai Yong, and Luo Chenggan, but after experiencing this war that was nothing in Jiang Feng's eyes, they had automatically incorporated themselves into the Huaiyou (Wuning) Army system, and even began to examine the newly incorporated Reform Army and Taining Army with a critical eye, which shows how much the war has transformed an army.

If you want to ask Qin Han and Chai Yong about their loyalty to themselves now, I'm afraid no one will believe that they are still missing Yang Pu, the historic rise of Huaiyou (Wuning) has made them deeply feel that only by following themselves can their life value be maximized, Jiang Feng believes that it will not be long before the newly incorporated Reform Army and Taining Army will feel the same.

However, no matter how beautiful the prospect plan is, it still has to fall into reality, and with the promotion of the reorganization and reorganization of the army, Jiang Feng is facing the most realistic problem, and there is no money.

Grain can still be maintained, after all, the savings in Shouzhou and Huzhou in the past two years, and some of the income that has been made in Luzhou, are enough to support the difficulties of Yanyi, and the requirements of these two places are actually not high, as long as there is grain to the north and the price of grain can be suppressed, not everyone in these two places can afford to eat, but those who have nothing need government relief to maintain their livelihoods.

The local situation has gradually stabilized, but how to satisfy the military equipment and equipment of these tens of thousands of troops is the real problem of testing Huaiyou (Wuning).

"Haizhou Yanli?" Chen Wei and Du Tuo were both taken aback and looked at each other.

Haizhou's salt profits are of course considerable, but the water can't quench the thirst of the near future, Haizhou is still in the hands of the Pinglu army, and it will take at least a period of preparation to fight this battle, and in addition, it is necessary to consider fighting with the Pinglu army, which is a huge hole.

Second, Haizhou salt profits have always been in the hands of salt merchants in Haizhou and Xuzhou, and for the time being, if the interests of this group are to be moved, the situation will definitely be re-inflated.

You must know that the power of these salt merchants is not small, and now they are also very supportive of Jiang Feng's entry into Xuzhou, and even after Jiang Feng became the owner of Xuzhou, Xuzhou salt merchants took the initiative to repay the donation, and the number is not small, and now they are about to turn their faces and deny it, which is easy to affect Jiang Feng's reputation.

"Well, I've thought about it, and that's probably the only one that can be taken out at the moment, and which can make the Sogdian merchants happy. Jiang Feng looked very indifferent.

"But ......," Chen Wei hesitated.

He knew that the most popular thing in the county government in recent times was the lack of money, and the only source was probably borrowing.

The Persian Hu merchants have done their best, but there is still a considerable gap, to make up for this gap, they can only come from the Sogdian merchants, and he also knows that the Sogdian merchants have purchased a large number of war horses for Huaiyou in the early stage, and the next step will be even larger, and the money and silver required are huge, and it is difficult for non-Sogdian merchants to support this business, but this salt profit is related to the wealth of a country and the livelihood of thousands of households, so it cannot be unsafe.

And Du Tuo simply resolutely opposed: "Your Excellency, this law is not appropriate, Haizhou salt profit is very important, once the Huainan and Huaibei markets are unified, Haizhou salt profit will usher in a large growth period, I heard that Junshang intends to expand the scale of the salt field after recovering Haizhou, and adopt a new method of drying salt to make salt, in the future, the salt of Haizhou will be marketed to Huainan and Huaibei Prefectures, and its benefits are difficult to count, how can it be conceded to Sogdian merchants for short-term profits?"

It should be said that Du Tuo's opinion is also very pertinent, once Huainan, Huaibei and Yanyunyi three states form a unified market, Haizhou salt can be smoothly marketed everywhere.

The reason why Yangzhou salt merchants are rich is because they monopolized the sales of salt in the entire Wuyue land of Haizhou and Chuzhou before, and all the merchants in Wuyue land in the south of the Yangtze River had to obtain the right to distribute salt from the Yangzhou salt merchants, and this income can be called a huge profit, which is something that no government can stay out of.

Now due to the division of Huainan, the original unified market has been disrupted, and the salt transportation is blocked, so the price of salt has skyrocketed, but as long as the market is unified and Haizhou is won, the salt profit of the large market of more than 10 million people in more than ten states can be imagined.

Jiang Feng actually wanted to give such a fat piece of interest to Sogdian merchants, how could this be accepted by Du Tuo, who had already preliminarily determined to take over the power of Cao Da, the head of the political affairs?
