After Wang Rong returned to Qiaohua City, in addition to reviewing the documents played in various places, he went to the Longshan camp outside the city every day to review the training of the elite directly under the state army.

On this day, Wang Rong had just arrived at the main hall of the Hou Mansion's office, and saw Shuofang Hou Zhang Songqi and Huang Fujian sitting there chatting happily.

When the two saw Wang Rong coming, they got up one after another and saluted Wang Rong.

Wang Rong turned sideways to avoid it, and at the same time complained in his mouth: "Uncle Zhang, Mr. Huangfu, you two are really tormenting boys."

Huang Fujian said with a serious face: "Master Hou, the etiquette cannot be abolished, now that you are the lord of a state, you should establish order as early as possible and determine the dignity and humility, so that you can be powerful and rewarded."

Wang Rong waved his hand and said to Huangfujian: "Mr. Huangfu, I am not as good as you when it comes to classic stories, let's stop arguing and talk about business."

Wang Rong looked at the two of them and said to Zhang Songqi, "Uncle Zhang, Mr. Huangfu should have talked to you, right?"

Hearing this, Zhang Songqi nodded.

Wang Rong continued: "Uncle Zhang, in the past two months since I came back from Hedong County, I have been busy with the deployment of the three northern counties, and now Shuofang County, Linwo County and Yunzhong County have all been arranged, but Lin River County is a difficult problem."

Lin River County is separated from Hexi County of Yongzhou and is located on both sides of the Jinshan Gorge of the Great River. There are three counties of Shuofang, Linwo and Yunzhong in the north, and two counties of Yiqu and Hexi in the west, which are the strong backing of the border counties.

Wang Wei spread out the map with great discernment, Wang Rong pointed to the Lin River County on the map, and said, "Since the unification of the state, Lin River County has become the de facto border, the western border of the state. As a fortress, Zhishuolishi has been the focus of contention between Yongji and Hebei for so many years, and the city is already very dilapidated. Therefore, I hope that Uncle Zhang can be appointed as the county warden of Lin He County and have full authority to preside over the government affairs of Lin He County."

What Wang Rong did not explain was that the craftsmen of the military workshop of the Craftsman Academy in the Bingzhou army rushed to Lishisai under the escort of the Bingzhou Yicong to formulate a detailed plan for repairing the city.

Wang Rong's request is to first make every effort to repair the city wall, from the stone plug after Yongji's repeated struggle, although the city wall has been repaired many times, there is no big problem on the surface, but the inside has already been full of holes.

The craftsmen and government offices of the Bingzhou army have also rushed to the banks of the big river in Lin River County to begin measuring the area of land available for cultivation.

Zhang Songqi looked at the map, and then asked, "Zhong Ming, there are many problems in this Linhe County now, the most important thing is the population, you know, if the population is not solved, everything is utopian."

Wang Rong asked curiously, "How does Uncle Zhang plan to solve the population problem?"

Zhang Songqi nodded to Hexi County and Yiqu County, which are next to Linhe County, and said, "My plan is to formulate a plan for the relocation of the people, give priority to the relocation of those poor people who live deep in the mountains and have no land to grow from these two counties, and recruit migrant workers from these relocated people to prepare for the repair of Lishi Sai."

Wang Rong nodded, this is a good idea, and the population of Bingzhou is not large, and Hexi County and Yiqu County in Guanzhong, because of the war, most of the young and middle-aged people have been transferred, and those who remain are old and weak, women and children, as long as they can move to Linhe County, there is a way to resettle.

Wang Rong then asked, "Uncle Zhang, your county guard is now a two-duty guard, and you must also arrest this military affairs."

Zhang Songqi nodded and said, "I know, you kid won't let my old bones be idle, I plan to expand the establishment of county soldiers in the counties of Linhe County and recruit young people into the army."

Wang Rong listened to Zhang Songqi's words, and asked with a smile, "Uncle Zhang, are you not planning to let me expand the state army?"

Zhang Songqi said angrily, "Expansion? Zhong Ming, don't fool me, you kid, Bingzhou is so big, the four elites directly under the army, wolf cavalry, righteous servants, traps, and first, a total of 20,000 people, the military expenditure is more than the eight divisions combined, and the eight divisions have reached 130,000 people. This has already reached 150,000 people, plus the soldiers of various counties, this has reached the scale of 200,000 people, you must know that this place has little arable land and small population, and it is very difficult to feed such a large army."

Wang Rong smiled

He said, "So, I'm thinking about how to work out a system to better coordinate the state army and the county army."

Huang Fujian and Zhang Songqi heard that Wang Rong had a new idea, and Huang Fujian asked, "Do you have a new idea again?"

Wang Rong nodded and said, "The recruits recruited in Bingzhou will not be incorporated into the Bingzhou Army for the time being, but will be incorporated into the soldiers of the city and county on the spot, and then elite veterans will be selected from the Bingzhou Army to practice."

Huang Fujian and Zhang Songqi glanced at each other, and laughed, "You slippery head, such a chicken thief." Wang Rong did this in order to be able to save military spending, and at the same time to be able to hide troops in the people, as long as the war was together, he could expand the army.

Just when the three of them were discussing the military and political affairs of Lin He County, the fifth candidate hurriedly walked into the main hall of the Hou Mansion with a letter of information.

Wang Rong looked at him and asked, "Fifth? Any new information?"

The fifth candidate said with some excitement: "Master Hou is really like a god, not bad! The three princes of Bashu had already gone north to seize Chencang, and Guanzhong was shaken. The second prince has withdrawn his troops from the border between Liangzhou and Yongzhou and galloped to the aid of Yushan."

Wang Rong snatched the information from the fifth candidate, looked at it quickly, and after reading it, he handed the information to Huang Fujian and Zhang Songqi.

After reading the information, Huang Fujian had a wry smile on his face: "Master Hou, we really miscalculated this time. The Guanzhong Imperial Court was weakened too hard, and the eldest prince and the third prince saw the opportunity and dealt a fatal blow to the second prince."

It is very clear in the newspaper that the Chen Cangshou general of the Guanzhong Imperial Court rebelled and directly surrendered to the three princes of Bashu, and the Bashu army, which had been blocked in Chencang Road, was suddenly put into the Guanzhong Plain.

After the second prince inquired, he hurriedly withdrew his troops from the Liangyong border in an attempt to return to the aid of Yuxi, but unexpectedly, the eldest prince and the third prince led the army to surround the Tiger Valley in Ji County.

Wang Rong also thought the same way, he looked at Huang Fujian and Zhang Songqi, and said helplessly: "Yes, we are still complacent about winning Hedong County, and now it seems that it is too early to be happy."

Huang Fujian continued: "Master Hou, there are so many things to do now, I am too busy to touch the ground, if I carry out another military operation, I am afraid that the situation that has finally calmed down in the state will collapse."

Wang Rong listened to Huang Fujian's words, his fingers involuntarily began to tap on the table, and his eyes stared straight out of the door, silent.

The main hall was quiet for a while, and then Wang Rong's voice sounded: "You have to rely on yourself no matter what, the second prince can't be destroyed now. In this way, I marched to Hexi County with the righteous servants, wolf riders, traps, and first ascends. Wait for an opportunity to go south to attack the city."

Huang Fujian was a little hesitant, although the 20,000 Bingzhou Army was elite, but the number was still too small, and it was a fool's dream to attack Yuxi with 20,000 people.

Huang Fujian suggested: "Master Hou, do you want to let the other divisions follow, at least 50,000 people must be made up, 20,000 people is too little."

Wang Rong shook his head, and he said categorically: "There are 20,000 Chinese troops, and all parts of the state need people, especially the construction of Anyi and Lishi, which requires a large number of migrant workers. The construction of the entire state will cost a lot of silver taels, and only 20,000 Chinese troops will be dispatched, whether it is logistics or military spending, it is acceptable, and any more will affect the development of the state, and the gains outweigh the losses."

Huang Fujian saw that Wang Rong was so persistent, and reluctantly agreed, and the state was in ruins, and the lack of people and money was very serious, and his worried hair turned a lot gray during this time.

Wang Rong then said to Zhang Songqi: "Uncle Zhang, in this case, you can follow the army to take office, which can not only ensure your safety, but also shock the local snake in Linhe County."

Zhang Songqi smiled and said, "In this way, then it is better to be respectful than to obey your fate."

The Longshan battalion soon received the mobilization order, and all the soldiers who had gone out of the camp on leave were recalled, and the military workshop of the Craftsman Academy, under the personal supervision of Xu Duan, the head of the academy and the head of the workshop, moved batch after batch of newly forged ordnance out of the warehouse and distributed it to the four brigades directly under it.

Chu Luxu looked at the spear in his hand, the thick spear shaft, and the two-foot-long spear blade, and asked with a puzzled expression: "Hey, I said Lao Xu, what kind of spear are you giving me, this spear shaft is so thick, the spear blade is so long, this pierces the enemy."

In the body, I can't pull it out."

I saw that the spear in his hand was eight feet long, divided into two parts, the lance and the lance, and the lance blade was two feet long, far longer than ordinary guns and spears. The lance blade has obvious armor-piercing edges, and like the Qin sword, it has eight faces.

When Xu Tuo heard Chu Luxu's complaint, his face was angry, and he snatched the horse lance in his hand and said, "You don't want to use it, some generals want it, this is a horse lance, it's much stronger than the spear you used in righteousness, okay?" Ordinary fish scale armor, chain mail, barrel sleeve armor, and two-dang armor will break in front of the horse lance with one blow."

When Chu Luxu heard this, this is terrible, there is something new in this military workshop, this can't be lost, he hurriedly stepped forward to stop Xu Tuo, and said flatteringly: "Oh, Master Xu, don't be so stingy, I'm not confused, ask?"

While speaking, Chu Luxu snatched back the horse lance that Xu Forging had snatched, and then stroked the lance as if he were his wife.

Xu Forging said angrily: "There is still a circle of red tassels at the bottom of this lance, I will have someone fetch it for you."

Saying that, Xu Forging was about to leave, but was stopped by Chu Luxu, and he asked suspiciously, "What else do you want to do?"

Chu Luxu scratched his scalp and said with a smile: "That, Master Xu, you see that this horse lance is so powerful, can you give each of us righteous servants a shot?"

Xu Duan listened to Chu Luxu's request, and was about to explode in anger, he shouted loudly, "Do you know how difficult it is to make this horse lance? Lieutenant generals and colonels, not below the brigade level! Do you still want to take a handful of righteousness from each person? Chu Luxu, what are you daydreaming about?!"

Chu Luxu was stunned by the roar, he touched his nose, looked at Xu Tuo, who roared away, and muttered in a low voice: "If you don't give it, you won't give it, why are you so angry?"
