Xu Yuanzhi continued: "So, if they want to launch an attack on Wei, they must be fully prepared. This will take a lot of time, so we must take advantage of this period to recruit troops and fight that kid to the death!"
Wei Meng stroked his beard and fell into deep thought. Although their territory and population were not as large as Wang Qizhi's, they had been actively preparing for war during this period, and they were not without the strength to fight. He immediately agreed with Xu Yuanzhi's suggestions and began to mobilize everyone in the Wei area. Common people, those who should join the army join the army, those who should pay taxes pay taxes, and fight to the death with Wang Qizhi.
If they defeat this, they can take the opportunity to capture the other three lands in one fell swoop and dominate the world.
It is said that after Wang Qizhi came to Jinzhou, he stationed himself in the township. Pang Tong sent a letter asking Wang Qizhi to build the capital in the township. This place is located in the middle of Jinzhou and is relatively close to Chu and Southern Xinjiang. It is better for both places. Management, in addition, this place is relatively close to the defense area, and it is easy to command if there is a big war in the future, so it is most suitable to choose the capital here.
At the same time, Pang Tong asked Wang Qizhi to change the name of the township to Xiangyang. The previous name was too ugly and did not fit the name of the capital.
Wang Qizhi looked at the letter and murmured to himself: "The military advisor is still thoughtful."
After saying that, he called Jiang Yiyi over and told him about the matter. The latter said: "Leave this matter to me. He immediately sent a large number of experts to bring Yan'er and the others, and at the same time, they also dealt with Wu Youding and Wang Xuan. The two conduct surveillance."
Wang Qizhi was relatively relieved when Jiang Yiyi did things, so he didn't say much about it.
After Jiang Yiyi left, Wang Qizhi called Erdan, Wu Anyi, Ma Mengfan and Sun Wu over. When everyone arrived, he said:
"During this period, we should seize the time to expand our troops. When we are ready, we will annihilate all the armies of Wei and Meng in one fell swoop and unify the world."
Sun Wu asked: "Expanding the army is no problem, but military expenditure?"
Wang Qizhi said: "You don't have to worry about military expenses. I have my own arrangements."
Now Wang Qizhi is different from the past. Now that he has captured the Chu region, his population and territory have greatly increased, and his tax revenue has naturally increased. Naturally, he no longer has to worry about military expenses.
Su Wu chuckled, "As long as you have money, everything will be no problem."
Wang Qizhi said to Erdan: "Leave the soldiers under your command to Anyi. As for you, you have to find a way to recruit soldiers yourself."
Seeing his army being snatched away by Wu Anyi, Erdan was extremely reluctant and said: "I have just started training these soldiers and they are already showing initial results. I am not willing to give them to that boy like this."
Wang Qizhi glared at Erdan fiercely and said, "You have to hand it over today if you don't want to. Can't you get beaten if you want?"
Upon seeing this, Erdan immediately withered like an eggplant beaten by frost, and finally had no choice but to agree.
Wu Anyi was in trouble, "I have never led an army. Can you just hand over these 40,000 people to me?"
What he said was indeed a bit modest. In the past, Wu Anyi was the prince of Chu, but he didn't have the opportunity to fight in actual combat. With Ma Mengfan on his side, I believe he will have no problem leading this army.
Wang Qizhi thought about it and realized that this was indeed the case, and finally asked Ma Mengfan to assist Wu Anyi.
"An Yi, I believe that with the help of General Ma, you will definitely build this army into an iron army with strict military discipline."
Wu Anyi didn't say much this time. Since Wang Qizhi believed in him so much, he would not let the latter down.
When everyone dispersed, Wang Qiyi sat on the chair with a tired look on his face. He was really too busy now. If he really became the co-owner of the world, he didn't know how busy he would be in the future.
About half a month later, Yan'er, Qing'er and other servants came here, and Wang Qizhi went out to greet them.
As soon as she got off the carriage, Yan'er vomited. Wang Qizhi thought that she was so tired from traveling and traveling. Qing'er couldn't stand it anymore, so she reminded her: "Yan'er is not tired, you are going to be a father soon." .”
Only then did Wang Qizhi react. He was overjoyed. Regardless of other people's opinions, he gently held him in his arms and said, "I'm really going to be a father."
At this time, Wang Qizhi had just turned eighteen. If his mother was still alive and knew about this, the territory would be extremely happy.
Yan'er said with a shy look: "So many people are watching!"
Hearing this, Wang Qizhi gently let go of Yan'er and asked in a low voice: "How many months has it been?"
Yan'er thought for a while and said, "It's been three months."
Wang Qizhi was so happy that he didn't know what to say. Sun Xiangman, who was standing by, couldn't stand it any longer and said angrily: "You bastard, Yan'er has been working hard all the way and we won't let her in."
Only then did this silly boy react and immediately led everyone into the mansion.
Yan'er was a little tired, so she went back to her room to rest early. After Wang Qizhi arranged everyone, he called Pang Tong, who had been here for a long time, to discuss the next step.
When he arrived at Wang Qizhi's study, Pang Tong bowed to him and said, "Meet my lord."
Wang Qizhi motioned to the military advisor not to be so polite and just find a place to sit down.
As soon as Pang Tong sat down, Wang Qizhi asked: "Our current army is less than 200,000, and Wei Meng is recruiting troops now, and his army has expanded to 140,000 to 50,000, and is assisted by a large number of martial arts masters. We want to It’s very difficult to defeat him.”
Pang Tong stroked his beard, frowned, and said: "My lord, what you said is indeed reasonable. I guess they must have thought that we would not attack them in a short time because the time was not ripe, so they felt free to recruit troops for a protracted war." plan."
Wang Qizhi added: "Not only that, if we want to go to the Wei territory, we must have a large number of warships. This will consume a lot of our time. Each one cannot be completed in one or two years. If we had to wait for such a long time, Wei Meng would have already There are hundreds of thousands of troops, and it will be impossible to get rid of him by then."
"My lord, do you mean to resolve it within half a year?"
Wang Qizhi nodded and said: "I am planning to launch an attack in half a year. By then our army will have grown to more than 200,000. We will first capture the two states of Yu and Xu that border Chu, and then slowly advance northward."
This idea came up with Pang Tong's. Then he would just send warships to transport the soldiers to the border and launch an attack directly.
Wang Qizhi nodded and said: "It seems that this is the only way."
It's not that he hasn't thought about heading north from southern Xinjiang, but there are mountains there, which are not conducive to large-scale marches, and they may also be ambushed, so he can't make this move unless it is absolutely necessary.
Pang Tong said: "My lord, you and your wife have been married in Chu for so long, and you haven't held a wedding here yet. It's not very decent. How about this, you three hold a make-up wedding?"
