Chapter 299 Two Thousand Horses
"The emperor's imperial edict does not say much, it only says that you should go to Hedong to organize a fight against the enemy!"
"How many troops can you give me?" The jailer opened the door, and Qin Hu rushed out eagerly: "Give me 30,000 elite soldiers. While the Li clan is not yet stable, I will stop Li Yuanba at Pubanjin and issue a proclamation calling on the world's powerful men to attack Li Yuanba.
Yuan, this ungrateful thief, will definitely be defeated in less than a month as long as the powerful people in Guanzhong support me."
"One thousand people!" Wei Jin said: "Yu Shiji said that the Eastern Capital is about to have a decisive battle with Li Mi, and there are no troops. The Duke of Yan has always been good at fighting, so a thousand people are enough!"
"The King of Yue is already waiting at the palace. If you are ready, follow me to the palace. His Highness will arrange everything." Wei Jin said.
"A thousand people!" Qin Hu thought to himself, this was clearly Yu Shiji's attack on people, but if it was a thousand elite soldiers, it would be enough, otherwise he would be chopped up by the rebels before he could reach Hedong.
Qin Hu straightened his clothes and followed Wei Jin out of the Dali Temple prison. The jailers bid farewell to him one after another. During this period, Qin Hu was in the prison, and they were doing a lot of making money.
"Brother Tiger, it's really hard to explain in words."
After Qin Hu walked into the palace hall, the first thing Yang Tong did was to clear the place. When only the two of them were left, he immediately took Qin Hu's hand and let out a long sigh.
"I didn't expect that the country would find itself in such a situation. I am incompetent and I don't know how to relieve my father's worries. It's already good to be able to keep the Eastern Capital."
Wei Jin told Qin Hu many things along the way. For example, Yang Tong and Li Mi fought several times around Luokou Cang, winning and losing three times.
Silk and jewelry were piled up in Dongdu, but it was once in a food shortage.
Although Li Mi was arrogant, it was not groundless. Most of the land south of the Yellow River in Hebei, Henan, and Shandong fell under his control.
What else could Qin Hu say? In the current situation, only if Yang Shou's military commander returns to the two capitals can he see a glimmer of hope. But even if Yang Shou really wakes up and wants to come back, he must first pass the test of Li Mi.
He could only tell Yang Tong and let him persist, Li Mi and Zhai Rang would definitely split.
"Beside the bed, no one else is allowed to sleep soundly. Your Highness must wait for Li Mi and Zhai to start fighting among themselves, and seize the opportunity to catch them all. Now that Gong County has been lost, there is no barrier outside the Eastern Capital, and Li Mi is in high spirits. The only way is to hold on
The city frustrates his spirit and waits for an opportunity to move."
Gong County was not lost, but was given to Li Mi by the county magistrate Chai Xiaohe. Now Li Mi can directly attack Luoyang City every day, and people in the city are panicked.
In fact, Li Mi did not attack many cities around Luoyang, and most of them surrendered voluntarily. Therefore, Qin Hu also suggested that Yang Tong must firmly hold the military power and never trust anyone easily.
"Your Highness, can you give me more troops? A thousand men are really not enough." This was what Qin Hu wanted to say after holding back for a long time.
Yang Tong showed a very painful expression: "This, I'm afraid I can't be of much help. The documents from the Ministry of War have made it very clear, and it has been approved by the father - but since Brother Hu has spoken, can
If you can help me, I will definitely help you. Let’s do this. I’ll give you another thousand elite soldiers.”
The reason why Yang Tong is so stingy is because he understands Qin Hu's combat philosophy, and he also knows that what Qin Hu wants is by no means ordinary soldiers. If you let him choose by himself, he will definitely choose the best.
But he himself also needs the best.
Sure enough, Qin Hu was silent for a while and said: "I want to choose myself."
"I knew that——" Yang Tong hesitated, but finally agreed, and then issued an order to agree to Qin Hu's request.
Qin Hu was not polite, and directly took Yang Tong's transfer order to various military camps to select soldiers. His purpose was simple, he wanted soldiers he had trained before.
At present, the Dongdu has a total of 150,000 soldiers and horses, and there are 70,000 troops of Pang Yu and Huo Shiju outside the city. The soldiers and horses in the city are all under the command of Liu Changgong, Fang Ze, and Xiao Huaijing.
There are scattered small military camps everywhere on Dongdu Street. All the streets are filled with war horses and undisciplined soldiers running around. All the people's houses have been requisitioned. The doors of every house are open, and soldiers
They were drinking and making noise inside, and horse manure was piled all over the courtyard walls and alleys. It was a chaotic mess.
Before going out, Yang Tong gave Qin Hu a royal horse. It was this horse that attracted the attention of the rebels and was robbed several times along the way.
But because he had something urgent to do, he did not have an attack. He only showed them Yang Tong's warrant and left with a livid face. But there are some things that make the tree want to be quiet but the wind does not stop.
"You, come down here and leave this carriage and the treasures in it with me, or I will kill you."
Qin Hu passed by the south gate on horseback, intending to go back home first to take Wei Zheng and his family's soldiers with him, but suddenly he heard shouting and noisy sounds from in front, and the road was blocked by a group of disorderly soldiers.
I saw thirty or fifty soldiers surrounding a carriage, mocking and cursing loudly at a nervous and trembling coachman. The coachman just started to argue with them, seeming to accuse them of doing it publicly in broad daylight.
He was robbing someone so unreasonably that he was pulled down and beaten up.
And that carriage is really eye-catching. Although it can't be seen clearly from a distance, at least it is pulled by six handsome white horses. These six horses alone are now worth six thousand taels of silver, so it is so troublesome.
Here comes the covetousness of others.
And at this moment, a loud laugh suddenly came from the crowd: "Damn it, brothers, we are rich, there is a beautiful girl in the car, we brothers can have a good time today, get in the car."
Suddenly, the soldiers collectively burst into laughter, as if they had discovered a new world. They frantically grabbed the shaft, sides, and windows of the luxury carriage and shook it hard, almost overturning the car. Several of them quickly
He jumped on the carriage and got into the carriage.
"Get her, get her, get her right on the street. Made, she is a rich girl. I kill enemies for the country, so you have to sleep with me, hahahaha!"
"Drag her out and let the brothers be happy too."
A woman's desperate scream came from the carriage, and there seemed to be the sound of beatings. Just as Qin Hu urged the horse with all his strength to approach the carriage, the man had been pulled out by his long hair and thrown directly to the ground. The random soldiers
Facing such a beautiful scenery, my eyes turned green, I roared like an animal in my throat, and I just went up and tore my clothes.
"Poof!" Out of the blue, the soldier at the front suddenly spurted out blood. He tilted his body and fell to the ground. The chest of another soldier was also shot through by a bow and arrow.
