"What's so scary about this! Our 250,000-strong army can pile him up to death!"
Tian Bao said.
"Second brother, don't be impulsive. Third child is right. It's best to blame others for Sun Lei's death, such as Zhongshi Dao...such as Xixia people!"
Tian Hu shook his head.
"Xixia people!"
Tian Bao and Tian Biao's expressions changed when they heard this. The Xixia people are a foreign race. If word spreads, everyone in Jin Dynasty will end up shouting about beating them.
"Just use them! Once we get rid of Zhongshi Dao and Sun Lei, and wipe out those Xixia people as well, then both Hedong and Guanxi will be mine!"
Tian Hu said with a ferocious look on his face, of course he knew that having an affair with the Xixia people would cause endless troubles, so he was prepared to finally kill all the Xixia people.
"Brother contacted the Xixia people?"
Tian Biao looked at Tian Hu and asked.
"What did we start from?"
Tian Hu asked, looking at Tian Bao and Tian Biao.
"Private salt!"
Tian Bao and Tian Biao said that they were selling private salt at a high price. Private salt was a very profitable business, so they conquered Xie Liang as soon as they joined the army and occupied the salt ponds. Otherwise, how could the five states be supported by plundering? Hundreds of thousands of troops.
"Jieliang's salt is too expensive. Don't you remember the pure salt?"
Tian Hu continued.
"Salt from Western Xia!"
Only then did Tian Bao and Tian Biao understand how Tian Hu got in touch with Xixia. In the early years, pure salt in Xixia was cheap, costing only a few cents per catty, which was a huge profit. Buying some and transferring it to Hebei would cost tens of cents per catty, ten times the price. profit.
"Wuli has already gone to Xixia, Xixia should send troops this time!"
Tian Hu said.
"I asked why Wu Li didn't come back! It turns out he went to Xixia!"
Tian Bao suddenly realized that Fang Xuedu said that Wu Li had come back first. Tian Hu just nodded and did not say where Wu Li had gone.
"The Western Army has just defeated Xixia, and now Xixia is eager to counterattack. We invite them and they will not refuse. Zhongshi Dao is a thorn in the Xixia people's side. If we can get rid of Zhongshi Dao, Xixia people will not care about taking risks."
Tian Hu nodded.
In Fenyang City, Master Zhong frowned.
"Commander, there is no news from the court yet, Tong Xiang..."
Wang Yan cupped his fists and reported to the planting master.
"well!"
Zhong Shidao sighed for a while. Tong Guan didn't know what he was thinking. He didn't come to the rescue for a long time. The court didn't seem to be in a hurry. After the battle, he just felt tired.
"How many thieves are there outside the city?"
Master Zhong asked in a low voice.
"There are two hundred and fifty thousand, and all the thieves from Linfen are here!"
Wang Yan said.
"Over at Taiyuan Mansion, is there no movement from Sun Lei?"
Zhong Shidao continued to ask.
"No trace of Sun Lei has been found so far, but with Tian Hu's huge formation, Sun Lei should also come!"
Yang Kebi said, Sun Lei claimed to be here to help Tian Hu. Now that Tian Hu has raised 250,000 troops, it is impossible for Sun Lei not to send troops.
"Okay, let's turn this Fenyang Mansion into a millstone and grind these thieves into powder!"
Master Zhongdao sighed and turned around. At this moment, a crossbow, a dense array of long bows, and countless rolling stones and wood were already prepared behind the city wall.
"Commander Zhong, the thieves may not have expected that we have already secretly transported food and grass, and we have also transported all the weapons!"
Yang Kefu smiled and said that he had been staying in Fenyang. When Zhongshidao attacked Taiyuan Mansion, he attracted Tian Hu's attention. Food, grass and weapons were secretly transported at that time, and then he directly released the news of food shortage to lure the enemy.
"Sun Lei is... not a simple person!"
Zhong Shidao shook his head, thinking about the brief battle with Sun Lei. His Western Army, which had fought many battles, did not take advantage even with three times the number of people. Now it can only use this strategy to deal with the thieves. This makes Zhong Shidao Shidao felt that he was really old.
"Commander Zhong, Sun Lei is here!"
Yang Keshi pointed to the north and saw a group of people walking slowly.
"Sun Lei!"
Master Zhong looked to the north and saw the banner of the Monkey King at first sight.
…
"Haha, Sun Lei is still here!"
Tian Hu looked at the army that appeared and laughed wildly.
"Brother, that's not right! Why are there so many people in Sun Lei?"
Tian Biao took a glance and his expression changed slightly. He had been stationed in Linfen and had never seen Sun Lei's army, but everyone said that Sun Lei only had an army of 10,000. But now, after a slight glance, Sun Lei had tens of thousands of troops. !
"No, there were only 10,000 people at the beginning!"
Tian Hu also discovered something was wrong.
"He couldn't have been recruited in Taiyuan Prefecture! Damn it! This guy came to my east side of the river to rob people!"
Tian Bao said fiercely, Sun Lei could not conjure soldiers and horses out of thin air, these people could only be recruited on the spot, and these were the source of troops for their Great Jin Kingdom.
"Your Majesty, now is not the time to discuss this. Sun Lei is here to help, and we have to show our attitude!"
Li Tianci, the minister under Tian Hu, said that although Sun Lei's approach was a bit excessive, the enemy was facing a formidable enemy and he could not mess up his position. It would not be too late to discuss everything after the killing of the species master Dao.
"Let's go with this king to meet Sun Lei!"
Tian Hu said to the officials around him.
The horn sounded, and Tian Hu's army moved away from the northern formation to allow Sun Lei to enter.
"It's amazing! There are so many people!"
Sun Lei looked at the dense military camp outside Fenyang Mansion and smiled.
"Brother, Tian Hu is here!"
Jiao Ting pointed to the distance, where Tian Hu was leading his troops.
"Let's go and meet this "King Jin" too!"
Sun Lei waved his hand with a smile and led everyone out of the military formation.
"Tian Hu, you're fine!"
Sun Lei looked at Tian Hu and said with a smile.
"Being beaten like this by Master Zhongdao is really shameful!"
Tian Hu said with a smile, he was going to show weakness and let Sun Lei take the lead.
"That's right. This is the first time I've seen such a large army in my life. It's just a Fenyang Mansion. One person was drowned in his spit."
Sun Lei knew Tian Hu's little thoughts and didn't answer the question at all.
"Although my army is large in number, it is impossible to attack the city without armor to protect it. I have to rely on your Liangshan army. By the way, your army has expanded several times!"
Tian Hu pointed at the army behind Sun Lei and laughed. He disagreed that Sun Lei couldn't do anything.
"I don't want to either. I can only say that it's hard to refuse such hospitality. It's not my intention!"
Sun Lei said sincerely, he was telling the truth, no matter Tian Hu believed it or not.
Tian Hu obviously didn't believe it and looked at Sun Lei with a sneer. In a strange place, there were 30 to 40 thousand people who liked him in more than a month. How could he lie to a fool? Even if we catch them, it’s hard to catch so many.
"Sun Lei, Master Zhong is in the city now, do you want to let him go?"
Seeing that Sun Lei was unwilling to take action first, Tian Hu narrowed his eyes and looked at Sun Lei.
"Tian Hu, as I said before, I'm here to help you, not to be your thug!"
Sun Lei said directly.
"Then what do you think we should do?"
When Tian Hu saw that Sun Lei was not getting enough food and salt, he felt murderous intent in his heart, but he still suppressed it.
"The city wall has four sides. You fight three sides, and I'll fight one!"
Sun Lei looked at Tian Hu and said, Tian Hu made it clear with such a large formation that he was not prepared to let go of Master Zhong. In this case, he would definitely not surround three buildings, but attack from all sides.
"Okay, let's fight like this. We'll fight on the east, south, and north sides, and leave the west side to you!"
Tian Hu frowned and left after speaking.
