- "No. Li Gong, we and the nine wealthy families in Hedong have invested so much in the Bai Bo Thief. How can we just let him eradicate Wen Bufan for us and then stop using him?"
The Baibo thieves, with our support, have been recruiting troops from all over the country in March. Guo Da is quite capable. With his previous status as the commander of the Yellow Turban Canal, he easily recruited the remnants of the Yellow Turban from the states and counties near the Xihe River. Together with our The private soldiers provided by him are probably close to 70,000 to 80,000 troops now. Given time, Guo Da will probably become the second Zhang Jiao. The potential is so great and it will be wasted if we don¡¯t make good use of it.
Gentlemen, we can¡¯t be so short-sighted. We need to look further. This world is very big. Zhu Gong said, right or wrong? "
Suddenly, Wang Zhong, who was sitting in the main hall of the royal residence, spoke. His words were astonishing as soon as he opened his mouth. Especially his last sentence made the heads of the eight wealthy clans under the table feel their hearts beat wildly, and then their eyes were exposed. .
"Your Majesty, you are worthy of being a prince. One word awakens the dreamer."
"Yes, we are really short-sighted. The world is very, very big."
"Then, Guo Da and Yuan Benchu, we have to work harder on these two chess pieces. I don't think you will have any objections to these one hundred thousand taels of gold."
"Of course, of course."
Wang Zhong¡¯s words immediately caused a commotion in the audience, but soon, these people made their decisions one after another. It seems that they are ready to feed Guo Da, the hungry tiger who is hungry.
A few days later, at the earthen fortress in Baibo Valley.
"Report, Lord Celestial Master. One hundred thousand taels of gold have been shipped. I have all counted it, and the one hundred thousand taels of gold is no more or less."
A white wave of bandit scouts came hurriedly and knelt on one knee in the meeting hall of the earth base. Guo Da, who was sitting on a high seat in the lobby, nodded slightly and made it clear, then ordered the scout to step down and receive the reward.
Guo Da clearly distinguishes rewards and punishments, and is willing to give away wealth. As long as those who have meritorious service are rewarded, they will not be shabby. Therefore, the Baibo thieves under him admired Guo Da very much and were willing to work hard for Guo Da.
"Haha, there are another hundred thousand taels of gold. These wealthy people from Hedong are really willing to give up. Master Tianshi, with these taels of silver, we can expand the Heavenly Army again."
Han Hao laughed wildly, his laughter was like bursts of thunder, making people's ears ring.
"Congratulations to Master Celestial Master, congratulations to Master Celestial Master. With the situation like this, I'm afraid it won't be long before we and the Heavenly Army can return to their heyday as great sage masters."
Yang Feng, who was beside Han Yu, took a step forward and also raised his hands in congratulations.
But there was no joy on Guo Da's face, as if he had expected that the nine wealthy families in Hedong would obey and send this huge sum of 100,000 gold.
"Noisy. Those who achieve great things never show their joy or anger. A mere hundred thousand taels of gold can make you ecstatic. How can you ask me to let you lead an army alone in the future?"
snort. Originally, I had already intended to recruit like-minded people from the northeast and southwest areas of Hedong, and I also sent letters to them. If Nawen Bufan hadn't suddenly disrupted the situation, most of these like-minded people would have voted for him at this time.
However, fortunately, although these like-minded people were exterminated by Wen Bufan, they also frightened the wealthy people in Hedong. At first, they had to bargain for some supplies, but after hearing what Wen Bufan and his second brother said The news of military successes came one after another, and they stopped bargaining and let me take whatever they wanted.
With their funding, my original plan was not delayed, and my power expanded a bit faster. However, the most troublesome thing at the moment is that the three brothers Wen Bufan, Guan Yunchang, and Xu Gongming have gathered in Xihe. These three people all have extraordinary talents that are different from ordinary people and should not be underestimated. How to deal with them is our most important task at the moment. Something to think about. "
"What are you afraid of! The soldiers will come to cover up the water and the earth. What's more, we have 80,000 heavenly troops. A few days ago, I heard from my subordinate Erlang that the three brothers Wen Bufan only had less than 20,000 troops in Xihe. Our troops far exceed Four times more than them. If they dare to go to Baibo Valley, I, Han Yan, will guarantee that they will die here without ever returning!"
Han Hao slapped his chest, glared, and shouted carelessly. His thunderous voice suddenly shook the whole hall.
"Ignorance, ignorance! Han Hao, you pig-head, when will you finally get your wits about you? When two armies confront each other, strength is important, but strategy is the most terrifying.
"Have you forgotten that when I sent you and Yang Feng to rob food, we had five thousand soldiers and horses? How many people could you bring back in the end?" Yang Fenggen came back injured. If he hadn't been lucky, his life would have been lost in Pingyang! "
Guo Dashu stood up suddenly, pointed at Han Hao's nose and cursed, making Han Hao's head bloody. However, Han Hao did not dare to say a word, his face was red, and Yang Feng next to him also lowered his head unconsciously. The battle in Pingyang was a great shame for both of them. After returning, theyThe two of them were ridiculed by many of their colleagues.
"Huh, let me say it again. The three brothers Wen Bufan, Guan Yunchang, and Xu Gongming should not be underestimated. Their talents are beyond your comparison. They have been in Xihe for a while, and I am afraid that they will send troops to attack soon. . When the time comes, you must not act on your own initiative, otherwise I will not be polite to you!"
And not long after Guo Da finished speaking, another scout suddenly came running towards him with a panic look on his face.
"ReportReportReport~!"
Guo Da frowned and shouted.
"Why are you so panicked!"
"Master TianMaster Tianshi, Champion WenWen will lead the troops to attack. Under the Baibo Valley, line up your formation and blow the horn to invite us and the heavenly army to fight!"
"What! This Wen Bufan came so quickly. I heard that he and his second brother's troops only arrived in Xihe a few days ago. How dare they gather their strength so quickly and dare to challenge my heavenly army to a battle?"
Guo Da¡¯s face darkened and he mumbled in surprise. Opposite Han Hao, Hu Cai, who had just joined the Bai Bo bandits, suddenly had a look of resentment on his face and walked to the center of the lobby to kneel down.
"Master Tianshi, I am willing to lead the army into battle!"
"Master Tianshi, we are also willing to lead the army into battle!"
Han Hao and Yang Feng were not far behind. At the same time, they walked to the center of the hall and knelt down to beg for help.
"Okay. I also want to take a closer look at what this champion Wen is capable of and how he can be famous all over the world! Hu Cai, Yang Feng, and Han Yu sent orders to prepare troops and horses, and send out 60,000 troops. Wen Bufan is full of tricks, and will inform you later Li Le led 20,000 troops to stay at the base camp, and the others joined me in the battle!"
Guo Da looked startled, and a surge of momentum suddenly erupted from his body. He was able to gather 80,000 thieves to cause chaos in Baibo Valley. His methods and mentality must be beyond ordinary people. Guo Da also believed that he would not be inferior to Wen Han. This time was his first battle with Wen Han, so he chose to send out an army, intending to use the power of numbers to give Wen Han a decisive blow!
??Under Baibo Valley, there is plain for ten miles. At this time, the cold winter has just passed, the grass has sprouted, and everything around is a vibrant green color. However, the arrival of 20,000 soldiers and horses from the court trampled this green land, and the marks of horse hoofs, footprints, and wheels crushed the earth until it became desolate.
¡°Perhaps, only when the war ends can this land take a breather and truly usher in the radiance of vitality.
Twenty thousand imperial soldiers and horses were divided into six teams. The cavalry team led by Wen Han and Guan Yu were in the front and center, and the trap camp and Jingdun camp led by Gao Shun and Xu Huang were on the left and right sides. At the rear were two groups of archers, a group of sword and shield soldiers, and seventy or eighty mighty chariots.
In the late Eastern Han Dynasty, there were not many types of chariots. Wenhan brought only two types, one was the Spring and Autumn Chariot, which included a spear-wielding warrior, an archer and a charioteer, and the other was a box-shaped chariot with armor on three sides, which could be pushed out to attack. . The cost of building these hundreds of tanks was extremely high, so Wenhan only built hundreds of them.
As for Xu Huang's Jingdun Battalion, he built a thousand spear shield soldiers for two years. During the half year he guarded Xihe, he experienced no less than dozens of battles with Baibo bandits, large and small. The Jingdun Battalion was tortured by the war. With practice, he becomes more and more mature. Xu Huang's Jingdun Battalion is good at using shields to make various shapes, and at the same time uses these shapes to make various offensives. Compared with other shield soldiers who can only build shield walls and only defend but not attack, they are more flexible and more powerful. Stronger.
After these thousand spear and shield soldiers matured, Xu Huang officially named them Jingshiunying. Xu Huang put great effort into this army and had very high expectations. He hoped that in the future it could compare with the two armies of Black Wind Cavalry and Trap Camp.
Around the 20,000 imperial soldiers and horses, there were many drummers, waving drumsticks, and the neat and mighty sound of drums, accompanied by the sound of horns, resounded throughout the world.
And an hour later, on the Baibo Valley, teams like long dragons rushed down the mountain with loud shouts and momentum. Then long queues gathered and formed a formation, and a formation soon appeared. Guo Da wears a yellow miter, armor, and a yellow robe, and rides a Huang Chong horse at the front of the team.
Beside him were three generals, including Yang Feng, Han Yu, and Hu Cai. Behind him were an army of 60,000 thieves, densely packed like a swarm of ants. The sound was so powerful that it even drowned out the drums and horns of the imperial soldiers and horses on the opposite side.
"How is that possible! Looking at this formation, the Baibo traitors have 60,000 soldiers and horses, and the number of guards they left behind at the base camp is at least 10,000. This traitor only had tens of thousands of people three months ago."
Xu Huang looked over and exclaimed, then turned to Wen Han with a look of guilt, cupped his hands and said.
"Third brother, the fourth brother is not doing his job well. Since this traitor was allowed to triple his troops in three months, he is really unworthy of the trust given by the third brother! After this battle, the fourth brother is willing to accept the punishment."?¡±
"Sure enough! You wealthy people really think that I, Wen Bufan, is a sick cat! Also, Yuan Benchu, you actually had a hand in it!"
In fact, a few days ago, when Wenhan heard Xu Huang talking about the strange phenomenon in Xihe in March, he had already made a few guesses. In order not to attract Xu Huang's attention, these Hedong wealthy people deliberately transported the materials to support the Baibo thieves through Hanoi and then to Baibo Valley.
The Baibo thieves used gold, silk and food to recruit troops and expand their power. In just three months, the military strength doubled. These Hedong wealthy people seem to have invested heavily.
Wenhan took a deep breath, suppressed the anger in his heart, and then said to Xu Huang.
"Fourth brother, I can't blame you for this matter. There are many traitors behind the scenes. It's understandable that you didn't find out for a while. Now we are preparing for the war in front of us. I will talk to fourth brother in detail when I get back."
With nearly 70,000 to 80,000 thieves, Wen Han didn't feel that his temples were bulging and aching. Guo Danai, who heard that the White Wave bandit was a remnant of the Yellow Turbans, had already experienced a lot of wars during the Yellow Turban Rebellion. Moreover, I heard from Xu Huang that this person was very talented and a compassionate person.
All these are enough to show that Guo Dafei is an easy person to deal with. Although Wen Han once burned Cheng Zhiyuan's 50,000 Yellow Turban bandits in Zhuo County. But it was all because Cheng Zhiyuan was just leading troops at that time and did not understand the common sense of marching and fighting. When the weather was dry and windy, he set up camp according to the trees, so Wen Han easily wiped out the 50,000 Yellow Turban Army with a fire.
Wenhan knew very well that Guo Da was definitely not like Cheng Zhiyuan, and he had so many soldiers and horses under his command. I am afraid that it would not be easy to hastily decide the outcome with him within these three months. It can even be said that it is difficult to reach the sky. - Didn't finish reading?
