Hou Yuan had already shown signs of invasion, and Lin Xiqi knew it.

I didn't expect them to finally come.

"Hong Shangrong now has 30,000 people on the surface. Hao Feng looked at Lin Xiqi and asked, "Lord Lin, I don't know if you can give me a letter, how many people are there in Hong Shangrong's secrets?"

Hao Feng knew very well that Hao Feng had secretly recruited a lot of people, but he didn't know much about how many people there were.

"And seventy thousand. Lin Xiqi said.

Lin Xiqi didn't hide it from Hao Feng now.

"One hundred thousand?" Hao Feng said in surprise.

In his heart, Hong Shangrong secretly still had 20,000 horses, which should be about the same, but he didn't expect the number Lin Xiqi gave him to be completely unexpected by him.

"Lord Hao, don't be surprised. Lin Xiqi said, "What is the situation in the other counties, you don't need me to say more, you know." If you want to rely on their officers and soldiers to deal with the Houyuan Tartars? That is simply a fool's dream. The people of Hong Shangrong County have to be used as the people of a state, if the number of people is not enough, how can this be done?"

Hao Feng let out a long sigh and said, "Yes, Liangzhou is already rotten, and now the soldiers who can fight are the men and horses in Hong Shangrong's hands." It's only 100,000 people, which is too expensive. ”

"It's too expensive, so you have to invest in it. Lin Xiqi said, "You don't have to worry about this." ”

Hao Feng nodded.

If the Liangzhou government is allowed to raise an army of 100,000, the food and salary will definitely not be able to make up.

Liangzhou was invaded by the Later Yuan Tartars from time to time, and there was no food to support so many soldiers.

Even if the imperial court issued some food and salary, it would have been filled by officials at all levels, and how much could it fall on the officers and soldiers below.

Now this team is Lin Xiqi's private army.

For the imperial court, this was not allowed.

Hao Feng also knew that this was not appropriate, but judging from the current situation, he could only rely on Lin Xiqi.

There are 100,000 horses here, and when he deals with the Houyuan Tartars, he is more sure.

Don't expect to be able to defeat the Houyuan Tartars, at least you can hold some key cities and protect the people under your rule from the poison of the Houyuan Tartars.

Hao Feng knew very well that the officers and soldiers trained by Hong Shangrong were all elite soldiers.

In particular, Lin Xiqi provided tremendous support, so that these officers and soldiers were all elite among the officers and soldiers in the states of Great Xia.

This also gave Hao Feng more confidence.

Before the two could say a few words, another urgent message came.

"What?500,000?" After Hao Feng saw the above content, his face turned pale, and his hands trembled involuntarily.

Lin Xiqi had already glanced at the content above.

He was also a little surprised in his heart.

The last time the Houyuan army invaded, it was 300,000 people.

Even if Hong Shangrong has 100,000 horses, it is not enough. Hao Feng said anxiously.

"Not all of the 500,000 people are aimed at our Liangzhou, for example, there are also merging states. Lin Xiqi said.

Bingzhou and Liangzhou are adjacent to each other, so every time the Houyuan army invades, they are difficult brothers, and no one can escape.

"That being said, I feel that this time the Houyuan Tartars will not be less than a few people in our Liangzhou. Last time it was 200,000, and this time it will definitely not be less than 200,000. Hao Feng said.

Lin Xiqi nodded and said: "There will definitely be more, last time they were defeated in Liangzhou, this time I am afraid they are coming to take revenge." ”

"Then our Dunhuang County, especially Sandao County, is probably an important target for them. Hao Feng said.

"Yes, there's no doubt about that. Lin Xiqi said.

"Last time, there were so many people in the rivers and lakes here, so I used those people in the rivers and lakes to attack the Tartar camp, but now there is no such opportunity. Hao Feng said.

Last time, the 100,000 troops besieging the county seat of Sandao County were defeated, mainly because of those people in the rivers and lakes.

"Lord Hao, this time there will be more people in the Houyuan Tartars, but our current situation is much better than last time. Take Hong Shangrong as an example, he has 100,000 horses in his hands. Moreover, the Seven Star Sect has fallen, I think the Floating Cloud Sect should be able to integrate the Jianghu forces in Liangzhou soon, and even if there are no people in the rivers and lakes from various states at that time, our Jianghu sects in Liangzhou will join forces, and it will be a great force. Lin Xiqi said.

"I've heard about the fall of the Seven Star Sect, so the Floating Cloud Sect has to hurry up. Hao Feng said, "I think the Houyuan Tartars will arrive in our Liangzhou in half a month at most." ”

Lin Xiqi took a deep breath and said, "Lord Hao, you are responsible for the evacuation and resettlement of the people in the county, well, you'd better contact the county guards of other counties, no matter what, it's better to be prepared early than not to be prepared." If they don't cooperate, you can come and talk to me, and I'll take care of the rest. ”

"Okay, then it's up to Lord Lin. Hao Feng bowed to Lin Xiqi and said.

He is doing this for the people of the county and the people of Liangzhou.

Lin Xiqi soon left and returned to Sandao County.

When he learned that Lin Xiqi had returned, Wang Dong was the first to find the door.

The news brought by Wang Dong was more detailed.

"Is this marshal of the unified army or Hebichen?" asked Lin Xiqi after hearing this.

"That's right, it's still him. Wang Dong said, "Last time Hebichen lost troops to us, this time he is here for revenge." His subordinates have inquired clearly, and he will personally lead an army of 400,000 and claim to sweep Dunhuang County, especially our Sandao County. ”

"Sweeping Dunhuang County and leveling our Sandao County, it's really a big breath. Lin Xiqi said coldly.

"Yes, they're too arrogant. Wang Dong also said.

Wang Dong is now in charge of the 'Skynet' to collect all kinds of information, and at the same time, he also has a better understanding of the Lord Lin in front of him.

But the more he understood, the more he felt that he couldn't see through it.

Now Hong Shangrong has an army of 100,000, which may not be enough to deal with an army of 400,000, but with the help of the city pass, he can still defend the city and resist.

In addition, the strength of the Floating Cloud Sect has risen sharply now, and this time it is definitely an important helper to deal with the Houyuan Tartars.

Wang Dong didn't have much worry about this Houyuan Tartar invasion.

The only thing to worry about is whether the people of Liangzhou can hide in time, which is very crucial.

"You continue to keep an eye on the latest news to inform Hong Shangrong in time, so that they can make targeted deployments in a timely manner. Lin Xiqi said, "The matter of the state pastor on the capital side can be put aside, and then strengthen the intelligence collection on the Western Regions side, mainly about the Red Lotus Sect in the Western Regions, I need news about this." ”

"Yes. Wang Dong said.

He knew that now the selection of Liangzhou Mu had almost settled, and the candidates over there could not be controlled, so when he came to Liangzhou, it would be impossible for him.

Wang Dong now has this self-confidence, which is probably one of the reasons why adults don't care.

"Also, you sent someone to inform the Fuyun Sect that the election of the Liangzhou Alliance Leader Sect must have results within ten days. Lin Xiqi said.

"Okay, my subordinates will do it right away. Wang Dong said respectfully, "My lord, do you have any other orders?"

After Lin Xiqi thought about it, he shook his head and said, "That's it." ”
