Chapter 112: The Belated Imperial Army

After seeing Xiao Pengtian's information, Lu Chen was stunned for a moment, but he didn't expect that there was indeed an existence in the Grandmaster realm in the barbarian army.

Thinking about it this way, the tens of thousands of people behind the barbarian army at that time were led by this Xiao Pengtian.

Seeing that Lu Chen didn't speak, Wen Renlie opened his mouth and asked, "Lord Wang, what are you going to do with him?" He is still alive, but he has been severely injured and has fallen into a coma. ”

Lu Chen said: "Let people heal him immediately, revive him, and when he wakes up, this king still has some things to ask him." ”

"Yes, lord."

Then the soldier led the horse and took Xiao Pengtian down for treatment.

At this time, Mu Changtian glanced at the 100,000 barbarian captives squatting on the ground, and then whispered beside Lu Chen and asked, "Lord Wang, what are you going to do with these captives, this is a lot, we don't have so much food in Yancheng to feed them, or ...... them all?"

Speaking of this, Mu Changtian wanted to speak again and again, and did not continue.

Lu Chen understood what Mu Changtian meant, Mu Changtian felt that these 100,000 barbarian captives were a burden and should be killed all.

Hearing this, Lu Chen said with a smile: "If it weren't for Beijun, this king really planned to bury all these people." ”

This......

Hearing the meaning of Lu Chen's words, it was obvious that he had no intention of killing them, Mu Changtian continued: "Lord Wang, did you leave them behind to subdue them? ”

This kind of thing is relatively common, don't look at the barbarians as aliens, there are still many barbarian soldiers in the army of the Great Xia court.

When Mu Changtian went north to fight against the barbarian army, he captured many barbarian soldiers, and finally after they educated these barbarian soldiers, they let these barbarian soldiers take them north to find the barbarian royal court.

Although in the face of race, there are often cases where one side slaughters the other, but it is more about deterrence and subjugation, and the population is very precious in this era, unless it really can't afford to raise so many people, otherwise it will not be killed casually.

Lu Chen said: "After the war is over, this king needs a lot of labor to build the northern county for this king, and these 100,000 barbarian captives just solve the problem of labor shortage that this king is worried about." ”

Lu Chen had already obtained cement, and he had long planned to build a new one in Beijun, but he was recuperating before, so he had not taken any action.

But after the end of this war, he could not hide, and everyone knew that he had a very strong army in his hands.

Since it can't be hidden, there is nothing to hide, and Beijun, as its own fiefdom, should also be built well.

As for the battle for the succession of the imperial court, Lu Chen didn't have the idea of mixing at all, there was no chaos in Great Xia, he didn't plan to return to Great Xia, and it was good to stay in Beijun all the time.

Hearing Lu Chen say this, Mu Changtian reacted instantly, and then said: "Lord Wang's trick is clever!" If these 100,000 barbarian soldiers can be educated by then, we will have another 100,000 slave soldiers! No one will dare to covet Kitak-gun in the future! ”

Mu Changtian's idea was obviously different from Lu Chen's, Lu Chen wanted to use these 100,000 barbarian slaves to build Beijun, and Mu Changtian thought that Lu Chen left these 100,000 barbarian soldiers because he took a fancy to the characteristics of the barbarians' strong combat effectiveness, and planned to use these 100,000 barbarian slave soldiers to deter other forces.

Now that Lu Chen has 50,000 heavy cavalry in his hands, plus he still has an order to expand the army, the soldiers of Beijun will soon be able to reach 150,000 in the future.

If you add the 100,000 slave soldiers of the barbarians, it is 250,000 soldiers!

These 200,000 soldiers, let alone fighting some small countries, even if they send troops to directly attack the Great Xia Dynasty, there is no problem.

Of course, in order to win the war of annihilation, sometimes it is not only the number of soldiers that you see, but also the logistics.

Therefore, Mu Changtian thought that Lu Chen was planning to continue to recuperate and wait for the opportunity.

At this moment, Mu Changtian suddenly thought of something, so he immediately said to Lu Chen: "Lord, the war is over, if you let the court know that you have tens of thousands of heavy cavalry, I am afraid that some people will have thoughts about your wife and children, and it is imperative that you immediately send someone to take the princess and them back to Beijun, or send someone to Anping City to guard it." ”

Lu Chen immediately understood what Mu Changtian meant.

Heavy cavalry is not only a symbol of combat effectiveness in this era, but also represents the strength of comprehensive strength, because it takes a lot of resources to build a heavy cavalry, and it also takes a lot of silver taels to raise a heavy cavalry.

There were no 50,000 heavy cavalry in the entire Great Xia, and as a result, there were so many heavy cavalry in one northern county alone, which would inevitably cause the imperial court to be jealous.

At that time, it is likely that someone in the imperial court will ask Emperor Xia to take Lu Chen's princess or child to the capital as a hostage to avoid Lu Chen's rebellion.

Using the children of the vassal kings as hostages was the most common practice in the imperial court.

In the past, Emperor Xia would not do this, because Lu Chen showed that he was a waste, and there was no need to take Lu Chen's children as hostages.

Now it's different, now the Beijun soldiers led by Lu Chen not only killed 200,000 barbarian soldiers, but also captured 100,000 barbarian troops.

This has reached the point of being a quick success.

Even if Lu Chen is the son of Emperor Xia, Emperor Xia will be on guard, and when the time comes, Emperor Xia is likely to take advantage of Lu Chen's failure to react, so he will directly take Lu Chen's wife, son and daughter from Anping City to the capital as hostages.

Lu Chen immediately said to Xuanyuan Chen: "General Xuanyuan, you immediately lead five thousand black horsemen, go south with Captain Mu, and take all the princesses of this king back to Yancheng." ”

The people of Anping City didn't know that he had heavy cavalry, so it was likely that they would be wary of Xuanyuan Chen's identity, so Lu Chen planned to let Mu Jingwu also go south and bring Mu Zixuan and them back, so as not to have the idea of the imperial court beating his child at that time.

After hearing Lu Chen's order, Xuanyuan Chen and Mu Jingwu immediately said, "Yes, Lord Wang!" ”

Then the two of them turned and left on horseback.

Meanwhile.

Lin Xiuming and the others had already led an army of 70,000 to approach the Wanning River Valley.

In order to be able to reach Yancheng before the barbarian army reached Yancheng, they marched almost through thick and thin, marching overnight, with little rest.

Now the soldiers are dozing off when they walk.

At this time, when a soldier saw the city gate in the distance, he immediately shouted: "It's here!" We have finally arrived in Yancheng! ”

Lin Xiuming's brows were furrowed at this time, the expression on his face was very serious, he did not relax just because he arrived in Yancheng.

Because entering Yancheng is the most important thing, no one knows if Yancheng has been occupied by barbarians at this time.

Lin Xiuming immediately said loudly: "Be vigilant!" Scouts go find their way! ”

The words fell, and dozens of cavalry went to the south gate of Yancheng.

In order to defend against the barbarians, most of the soldiers in Yancheng went to the north gate, and now there are only a few soldiers at the south gate.

After seeing the arrival of the imperial army, the soldiers guarding the south gate of Yancheng suddenly had a spirit.

The soldiers of Yancheng are not stupid, they know very well that there are some things that cannot be displayed by the Northern King, and if they let the court know, there will be great trouble at that time.

The captain of the squad guarding the city gate immediately said to his soldiers: "Quick! Go and tell the prince that the army of the imperial court is coming! ”

Without hesitation, the soldiers defending the city mounted fast horses and headed for the north gate.
