Beiliang at this time! The people are working and busy. It is the sowing season of the New Year. This scene has been there since last year. Life in Beiliang has indeed gotten better.
and! In just the past two years, under the leadership of Dongfang Yu's scientific and technological knowledge, the lives of the people in Beiliang have been ten to a hundred times happier than those in Jiangnan and other places.
Every family has a surplus of food, every family has enough to eat, and! According to the new policy guidance, people's excess food can also be sold on the streets, or! Acquired by the government.
It’s Prince Qin’s Mansion! Nowadays, Beiliang's official rations are full of food. With Beiliang's current army of 100,000, there is no need to worry about food dispatch, even if it is a war. To put it simply, the food in Beiliang is enough for an army of 100,000 people. According to normal standards, they can squander it at will.
Beiliang!
Prince Qin’s Mansion!
"Prime Minister! The Wuhuan tribe came to ask for help. The letter said that the Xiongnu's 100,000-strong army was overwhelming and directly destroyed the Wuhuan vanguard army. Now! The Xiongnu's 100,000-strong army has already formed troops under the border city where Gu Long is stationed."
"Wuhuan crisis, as an ally, King Wuhuan hopes that our Qin army can attack the Xiongnu's side and reduce their pressure." Pei Hao said anxiously.
Only after he publicly surrendered to the King of Qin did he find out that His Highness the King of Qin had a powerful ally on the grassland, the Wuhuan clan.
Speaking of which, the Wuhuan clan is much stronger than the Qiang and Hu people. The entire tribe has an army of 70,000 to 80,000 people, and its combat effectiveness is very strong.
now! The Prince of Qin's Mansion gathered almost all the high-ranking officials in Beiliang, including Ma Chao, Ma Dai, Pei Hao, Pei Yuanqing, Hu Xiaoyue, Luo Zong, Lan Tian, Wei Hu, Wang Pu, Ma Jun, etc. Dongfang Yu and Xu Meng both returned to the imperial capital, and Tian Ping naturally took care of all matters related to Beiliang.
All power of life and death in Beiliang is controlled by Tian Ping alone.
Tian Ping put his hands behind his back, thought for a moment, frowned and said: "Generals, please be patient!"
"I have submitted the letter to the king! I guess! The king is already on his way back. In less than six or seven days, the king will return to Beiliang."
"But the Wuhuan Royal Court is indeed in a critical situation. The Huns have a hundred thousand troops and are marching at the border. As an ally, we, the Qin Dynasty, naturally cannot stand idly by."
"Let's do this! Ma Chao and Pei Yuanqing obey orders!"
Ma Chao and Pei Yuanqing stepped forward and said, "The general is here!"
"I order you two to lead 5,000 cavalry and 15,000 infantry to advance to the south of the Xiongnu army to intimidate the Xiongnu army! Remember! You are only allowed to frighten the Xiongnu army from the side. Do not attack rashly unless absolutely necessary. "
"No!" Ma Chao and Pei Yuanqing accepted the order.
Immediately! Back in the queue.
"In addition! Wang Pu and Ma Jun, you two must hurry up and make cannons and shells. Your Majesty has an order to conquer the Huns in the north. Their cannons are a sure-fire weapon for our army. We must hurry up and make them!" Tian Ping continued solemnly! said.
Wang Pu and Ma Jun said: "Prime Minister, don't worry! The Beiliang Arsenal has been developing at a rapid pace for a year. Now! Ironware, firearms and other weapons have been ranked first among all countries! Especially the Tiger Crouching Cannon and Frankie Cannon. Hundreds of them have been built and countless cannonballs have been built.”
"And! Another secret artillery that the king ordered us to transform has also been produced. However! This secret weapon is still in the experimental stage! If it can be produced, the Beimen Pass and Wuguan border passes will be protected even if the Xiongnu army comes. Even if you commit a crime, you will definitely come home defeated."
Tian Fang was relieved and said, "Okay! In that case, let's set off immediately."
"Everyone else should occupy their respective positions and abide by their duties."
"promise!"
"Wait! This princess has to go back too." Who's coming! It was Gu Yuena who followed from Wuhuan and stayed with King Qin.
Where are these days? Hearing the news that King Qin was married in the imperial capital, he was sulking all day long, not thinking about food or food, and his face, which originally had some fat on it, was almost skinny.
"oh!"
"Princess Yuena!" Tian Ping understood.
"The Wuhuan tribe is in crisis. As a princess, you should go back! Your Highness, please go to Wuhuan with the army!" Tian Ping said.
Princess Gu Yuena, she must be an old customer of Beiliang! The generals of Beiliang knew that the Princess Wuhuan in front of them had an extraordinary relationship with their king!
And now!
Not only Wuhuan! At present, the entire Northern Liang and even the whole country have entered an extremely tense preparation stage.
Two hours later, Beiliang's 20,000-strong army quickly assembled outside Qin County. The leading generals were Ma Chao and Pei Yuanqing. They had lived in Saibei since childhood and grew up on horseback. On the grasslands, they often interacted with ethnic minorities. Big deal.
Especially Ma Chao, a local bully in Beiliang and even Saibei. Ma Chao's martial arts skills are comparable to Yu Wenhu's, but when it comes to equestrian fighting, Yu Wenhu may not be able to benefit from a real fight.
Wuhuan border...
"Greetings to the king!" Gu Long bowed to King Wuhuan.
When the Xiongnu army pressed on the border and the border was in crisis, Gounuo put aside his identity as King Wuhuan and personally wore armor to share the same hatred with the soldiers on the front line.
The garrison at the Xiongnu border also increased from the 30,000 troops led by Gu Long to 40,000. The other 30,000 Wuhuan troops were led by Yue Ming, the general of the town army, to prevent the Xiongnu from riding on the other side. certainly! If the border is really urgent, 20,000 troops can be divided to rush to support the border with firepower.
"Um!"
"What happened to the messenger sent out to ask for help!" King Wuhuan stood at the top of the city, looking at the black mass of the Huns camp in the distance, which stretched for more than ten miles. I couldn't help but ask worriedly.
Gu Long responded: "Your Majesty, the messenger has been sent out. According to the time, it is estimated that he has arrived at the Prince Qin's Mansion in Beiliang. If Beiliang is fast, the reinforcements will arrive at noon tomorrow."
"It's just! I'm still worried about forming an alliance with the King of Qin in Northern Liang, and I agreed. But now! The Xiongnu can go out to fight at will, even if it's a hundred thousand troops. Even if I, Wuhuan, form an alliance with Northern Liang, how many troops can I gather?"
The meaning of Gu Long's words couldn't be more obvious. It simply means that Beiliang is barren and the people don't even have enough to eat or wear warmly. How many troops can be sent north to support the Wuhuan tribe?
Gu Long's thoughts only stayed in the dilapidated Beiliang two years ago. He could think that King Qin had taken over Beiliang for two years and already had the world's most powerful army, the world's most powerful firearms, and the world's most powerful weapons. Iron cavalry.
King Wuhuan shook his head and said loudly: "General! Don't underestimate the little Beiliang. Beiliang is barren and the army's combat effectiveness is just a scene in the past. But now Beiliang, under the leadership of King Qin, has become It’s not what it used to be.”
With the little princess Gu Yuena, as an undercover agent, she can still know the strength of Beiliang to some extent. certainly! The military secrets belonging to Beiliang will naturally not be stolen at will. The only news Gu Yuena could know was that Beiliang, under the rule of King Qin, had a strong military force, with a total force of one hundred thousand.
Seeing that his king was so protective of King Qin, Gu Long naturally did not want to say anything, but prayed in his heart, "I hope King Qin's ability is as good as what my king said!"
