After he was happy, Shi Wenzhong said: "But general, many officers and soldiers have resigned from their posts and no longer want to serve you. We are short of manpower here."
"Huh?" Urcha waved his hand and said nonchalantly: "This is easy to handle. Tomorrow, I will send you some people first, and then you will post a notice to recruit officers and soldiers at a high price. We have gold. There is a lot of gold, and I am not afraid that no one will come."
Of course, these golds were also obtained by their invasion of the Central Plains and plundering them.
And what he said is not wrong. Although the Central Plains nation has a long history, outstanding people, and heroes, there are also many people who betray the country and seek glory. Especially in this case, some weaklings either to survive or to enjoy themselves, join the ghost tribe. , nothing surprising.
Just like Shi Wenzhong, he helped the ghost tribe to save his life, and his life was more prosperous than before. How could he care about national justice? In the eyes of people like him, the tragic death of his compatriots has nothing to do with him! ?
Attracted by gold and wealth, they began to recruit losers in Pinggu County. In the end, Urcha was right. Following the ghost tribe would betray the nation and compatriots, but they would be able to enjoy good food, drink, and have beautiful girls. , in just one day, several men with sharp mouths and monkey cheeks came to the door of the county government, smiling and asking questions...
A few days later, Shi Wenzhong had a group of traitors headed by him. They began to wear fake military uniforms and show off, relying on the ghost army to bully the people and harm their compatriots.
In front of a restaurant.
More than a dozen Ghost Army soldiers were chattering and laughing, coming together in groups.
Originally, after the arrest of the girl, the restaurants in the city were not very open. Seeing the ghost army, the waiters hurriedly wanted to close their doors.
"What are you doing!?" At this moment, a bitch shouted coldly, stepped forward quickly, pushed the waiter away, then bent down to apologize, like a pug, and said to more than a dozen ghost soldiers: "Oh, this place This restaurant is the best in our Pinggu County, generals, hurry up and invite us."
"Haha——" Although they didn't understand what he was talking about, more than a dozen ghost soldiers all laughed in unison. As they stepped inside, some people said: "Look, they Central Plains people are really born slaves. ( Ghost language)"
The dog-legged man was still bending down to apologize. After waiting for a group of ghost soldiers to enter the restaurant, he straightened up, and then scolded the waiter: "What are you doing standing still!? Go and prepare the food and wine! You've delayed the generals' meal, and you're not going to die." Save!"
"Yes, yes..." The waiter in the shop could only force a smile. Looking at the back of the bastard, he couldn't help but curse secretly: "Damn the scum of the nation! How did your parents give birth to you..."
This situation occurred in Pinggu County, and it was even more so in Lianzhou, because there was a ghost king who was personally in charge there, firmly controlling the entire Lianzhou County, and dividing people into female slaves, prostitutes, and low-level slaves. Etc., etc.
At the same time, Qinzhou.
The Qin army has been mobilized, and Xiao Yuan is ready to go out after ordering generals in the court.
In the palace, Gu Xue was carefully arranging the king's clothes for him, and said quietly: "Those ghosts, devoid of human nature, are all man-eating demons. My husband must be careful when he goes away..."
"Don't worry Xue'er, everything will be fine." Xiao Yuan said and gently hugged her into his arms.
"Yes." She nodded lightly: "My hometown is suffering. The people there are in dire straits. They need a husband. Please set off quickly."
Xiao Yuan pushed him away gently, looked at her and said seriously: "After I leave, you should keep your eyes brighter, and remember any major events in Qin. You are not only my wife, but also the concubine of the King of Qin. "
"I know, husband, don't worry."
After explaining some more things, Xiao Yuan picked up the King Qin Sword and turned around and left Gu Xue's room.
At the gate of the palace, someone had already prepared war horses, and Xu Hu was also wearing armor, preparing to follow Xiao Yuan on the expedition.
But just as he got on his horse, a head of the Military Intelligence Department hurried over, knelt down on one knee and said: "Your Majesty, military information in Northern Xinjiang, Di Rong has increased his troops again, and General Zhao Mu is weak."
Hearing this, Xiao Yuan frowned and immediately asked, "Is there any news from Tang Yue?"
"Not yet, but General Lin Chu has personally sneaked into Chudu." The leader returned.
Xiao Yuan was silent for a moment, then waved his hand.
The leader understood, bowed and left.
After he left, Xu Hu couldn't help but ask: "Your Majesty, now that Beidi has suddenly increased its troops, will the invasion of Huan be delayed?"
Xiao Yuan pondered for a moment and said: "If we wait a little longer, I am afraid that Huan Kingdom will not be able to withstand it. If Huan Kingdom is completely fell, it will not be so easy to expel the ghost army."
As he spoke, he sighed: "Tang Yue has become a key step in this crisis in the Central Plains. I hope he can put national justice first and take orders in times of crisis. Otherwise, the situation will be dangerous..."
Marching and fighting in ancient times were different from today. Infantry relied entirely on two legs.
Traveling thousands of miles is not without hardship.
This is only one aspect. More importantly, the Allied forces need to be assembled, and they need pre-battle deployment, tactical planning, and escort of baggage.
All this takes time, which is why Xiao Yuan asked King Huan to stay for more than two months.
It's not that he deliberately delayed time, but that there was no way. Even so, the Qin army had to march urgently and could not delay for a moment.
As for Beidi, it's not that the Qin army can't win, but that their sudden attack and the increase of troops have absolutely restricted some of the Qin army's forces.
Now Northern Xinjiang needs a general to scare Beidi away.
Tang Yue was the only one in the entire Central Plains Empire who could do this.
Chudu, Tang Yue's temporary residence.
After entering Chu, the King of Chu showed respect for him, a former general of Liang Kingdom, and worshiped him as a guest minister.
Today, regarding the multi-faceted invasion of the Central Plains by foreign tribes, Tang Yue also asked to see the King of Chu, and strongly requested the Chu State to send troops to relieve the national crisis, but was declined by the King of Chu.
Of course, he was disappointed in his heart. After he came back, he drank alone and shook his head slightly:
"Chu Jun is one of the kings of the Central Plains, but he has no public conscience. He is really not a wise master..."
With a sigh, he also poured himself a bowl of wine. Just as he was about to drink it all, he suddenly felt something. He was holding the wine bowl in his right hand and his head suddenly turned sideways.
The cold light hit, and a sharp knife was nailed to the pillar behind him with a bang. There was also a piece of cloth stuck on the tip of the knife.
Turning his head slightly and looking at this scene, Tang Yue was moved in his heart. He was so powerful, but he didn't chase the person. Instead, he put down the wine bowl, stood up and took off the cloth in a few steps, unfolded it and looked at it carefully. :
At three o'clock in the morning, the bamboo forest on the outskirts was still there.
