Chapter 323 Strength does not allow
Qin Hu didn't completely deceive Fang Yanzao. He was really strapped for money now. It could be said that he had nothing. He was so poor that the court didn't give him anything. He wanted power but not power. He had no money and food for soldiers and horses. He relied entirely on himself.
The rebels can rob it, and Wang Shichong and the others are also robbing it, but he will never do it. Firstly, he is a conscientious person, and secondly, he is a time traveler who understands the principle that he who wins the hearts of the people wins the world.
Fortunately, he is not short of food now, so the team will definitely not disperse.
He was actually presiding over an all-army meeting, because Fang Xuanling and Wen Tiren had just come back from outside and brought back a lot of information and needed to hold an analysis meeting.
Wen Tiren spoke first: "General, I have visited many counties in Longyou, Hedong, Guanzhong. Although some places were forced to surrender to the rebels, the generals still control the military. They are all waiting for the imperial court to counterattack.
There is still a sense of loyalty in my heart.”
"If the general captures Chang'an, I dare say that with just one statement, half of the counties in the three regions can be recaptured. Especially Xiao Yu and others are eagerly looking forward to the news of the general's victory."
"Li Gui, Xue Ju, Liu Wuzhou, Liang Shidu, Guo Zihe, these people are powerful on the surface. Each of them owns the territory of several counties and has hundreds of thousands of soldiers. But in fact, there are many surrounding counties that have not been annexed.
, the interior is also a mess, and the people hate their cruelty to the core.”
"The great general is powerful in the world, and his name of benevolence and righteousness is broadcast, and the people of the world are attracted to him. At this time, he only needs to stand on the commanding heights of morality, have a far-sighted view, control the four directions, and control the granary. Soon, the Li family will not get any support, and it will not be able to get it back.
The granary will surely collapse if it is not attacked."
Wen Tiren's words were very encouraging. The generals present showed confident smiles on their faces. Qin Hu motioned to Fang Xuanling to explain the situation.
Fang Xuanling changed the subject and said: "This time I went to contact Liu Wuzhou, Xue Ju and Liang Shidu. Both Liu Wuzhou and Xue Ju had the ambition to annex the world, but Liang Shidu was just a self-defeating thief with a narrow spirit.
But I see that these three people are all cruel and cruel, mistreating the people, and they are definitely not the holy masters of the world."
"Liu Wuzhou has sent troops to attack Jinyang, the home of the Li clan. Xue Ju is still waiting and watching. The reason is that Xue Ju is afraid that Li Gui, the king of Xiliang, will attack him from behind. But that was before. Now the general has suddenly emerged and seized the throne with lightning speed.
Feng Yi Hedong County, the situation in the world has reversed, Xue Ju should not wait and see anymore."
Fei Qingnu said: "General, I think that at this time, we must immediately send troops to Chang'an and fight some beautiful tough battles to let the world see who is the most powerful force in this era, so that they will
I know which side I should fall to. I will ask for my orders at the end, and I would like to be the vanguard."
The generals all said that now is the time to attack Chang'an. They cannot wait for Li Clan to attack Yongfengcang, but must take the initiative to attack.
But Qin Hu was silent for a long time, and finally shook his head: "I tell you the truth, we don't have the strength to counterattack Chang'an now. Even if we bite the bullet, the possibility of failure is 80%. I'm still waiting. I
We need to consume Li Yuan, we need to expand our armaments, and we need to discredit the Li clan."
Fang Xuanling deeply understood Qin Hu's strategy, because he knew very well that his current strength was said to be 200,000, but in fact it was only 60,000 or 70,000.
Moreover, the core strength is only 7,000 people, and the others have surrendered. The hearts of the people have not yet surrendered, and there is a lack of equipment and elites.
The Li clan's current military strength has probably expanded to about 300,000, and with the access to Chang'an City's weapons arsenal, its strength has increased dramatically.
Fang Xuanling said: "After I return, I will immediately send out another message to let everyone in the world know that Li Yuan betrayed his trust, colluded with Tuque, and rebelled against his relatives. It is really shameless."
Qin Hu nodded: "At present, our first priority is to exchange grain for pig iron. Xuanling, you should also go and take care of this matter. I need an iron smelting station and crossbow arrows. Remember, we only help the victims. Any local tycoon who wants to start from
Those who obtain grain from us, let them exchange it for pig iron or war horses."
"Let them contribute people and help us build weapons and armor day and night, otherwise we will stop supplying them with food."
"In addition, extend ten miles outward along the Yongfengcang, build twenty watchtowers, and send out all scouts to monitor the Li family's movements at all times without making any mistakes."
"I need to set up a spy organization. You select some capable people for me and I will train them myself."
"Let's adjourn the meeting. Xuanling will stay for a while."
The generals followed the order and left, but Fang Xuanling stayed behind with a suspicious look on his face. He was anxious to get back to work and wondered what Qin Hu would do with him at this time.
Qin Hu told him that Fang Yanzao was here, and repeated what he told Fang Yanzao, saying: "I plan to get some resources from Li Mi."
Fang Xuanling lowered his head and thought for a while: "I will go see my uncle later and put some pressure on him. He will definitely report the news to Li Mi. What Li Mi is most afraid of now is that we withdraw our troops, and he is even more afraid that we will turn around and attack him.
, this mute has to eat even if he eats it, and he has to eat even if he doesn't."
At this time, the flag officer suddenly walked in in a panic and said: "General, we have caught a spy, claiming that he is an imperial envoy sent by the imperial court to deliver an order and asking to see the general. I don't know whether it is true or not.
"
"It must be true." Qin Hu sighed in his heart. The great Yu and the Huanghuang Dynasty actually got into this situation, and the imperial envoys had to disguise themselves and sneak around.
Qin Hu discovered that the person who came to deliver the edict was Feng Deyi. He was disguised as an ordinary merchant. He did not carry the edict with him and had only two followers behind him.
"General Qin, you are so polite as a subordinate."
Qin Hu personally welcomed Feng Deyi into the hall: "Master Feng, does the emperor have any wishes for me?"
The embarrassed Feng Deyi, with a dusty face and dirt on his hair, sighed and said, "Bring me a pair of scissors and some tea. I'm dying of thirst."
"I'm really sorry, I forgot." It was Qin Hu's fault about the tea, but he didn't understand what Feng Deyi wanted the scissors for?
After Feng Deyi took the scissors, he took off his clothes, cut them with a click, and pulled out a piece of yellow silk.
"Qin Hu accepts the order."
After Qin Hu received the decree, he almost stopped crying. Only a few people north of the Yellow River could see this kind of decree. The post station was no longer in the hands of the state, so what could he do to win people's trust?
Feng Deyi told him: "There is no way to do this. You, General Qin, can find a way to spread it yourself. Anyway, my mission has been completed."
"How is the emperor?" Qin Hu asked.
"The Emperor is in good health."
Qin Hu lowered his head and hesitated for a long time, then suddenly asked: "Mr., how is the princess?"
