Chapter 122 The threat from the Tang Dynasty(2/2)
Zhang Huahua established Huayin County here, with Dazhong Town as the administrative and military center, and began to operate the territory in Qinchuan.
Currently, there are five towns in Huayin County with a population of 250,000.
This population is not enough to conquer Guanzhong, and Guanzhong has a large number of civil and military officials.
Zhang Hua built a recruitment hall in Dazhong Town, which specifically recruited civil and military officials from Qinchuan and hired them for a large amount of money.
This is Zhang Hua's own building, so it has no architectural effect.
But as long as the news spreads and you are given enough treatment, you are not afraid that no one will come.
The Heluo Lord Zhang Hua established a bridgehead in Qinchuan. The news spread in the Guanzhong Plain, and the numerous princes focused their attention on Zhang Hua's power.
Zhang Hua called himself the General of Destiny and set up a recruitment hall in Huayin County, attracting talents from Qinchuan of 800 miles, which caused panic among the surrounding princes.
Those who come are not good, and those who are good do not come!
At this time, Meng Tian, who came to Qinchuan to surrender to Qin Xiaogong, learned that Zhang Hua had actually started to march into Qinchuan after conquering Heluo, and his mood was even more complicated.
With the help of Fusu, Meng Tian and Wang Li, Qin Xiaogong began to expand around and became one of the major forces of Qinchuan.
Originally, the pattern of Qinchuan in the Eight Hundred Li was becoming more and more obvious. Several overlords competed, and second-rate forces became the targets of suppression and enlistment of several overlords. Other inequality forces were just a concise.
However, as Zhang Hua entered Guanzhong, the situation in Guanzhong became complicated again.
Duke Xiao of Qin specially summoned Meng Tian to ask Meng Tian about Zhang Hua's situation.
"This man has many civil and military officials and generals under his command, and he also seized Heluo. He can attack and defend when he advances, and he can defend when he retreats. He is undoubtedly a powerful enemy."
"But the king doesn't have to worry. There are Tang Dynasty around Yuan Shu's forces and the two major forces of the Han Kingdom are attacking each other, so it is difficult to continue to expand."
"Why did Yuan Shu win over Jin Wushu? The reason is that Yuan Shu could not defeat the Tang Dynasty and Han Dynasty, so Yuan Shu had to recruit soldiers and win over all his strength. It was just that Yuan Shu played with fire and burned himself, and eventually failed."
Meng Tian analyzed the situation for Qin Xiaogong, and Qin Xiaogong nodded frequently and showed his approval to Meng Tian.
During the era of Qin Xiaogong, there were not many famous generals in Qin State, and Shang Yang had to lead his troops to fight in person.
Meng Tian came to surrender and was appointed by Qin Xiaogong as the chief of Zuo Shu and was in charge of the conquest.
Yuan Shu had a population of 400,000 and 30,000 soldiers, but he could not expand further and wanted to win over Jin Wushu. It was precisely because Yuan Shu could not compete with the two major forces of the Tang Dynasty and the Han Dynasty.
Yuan Shu was helpless, either.
Meng Tian further analyzed: "The Tang Dynasty had a population of one million, dozens of good generals, and hundreds of thousands of armored soldiers, which was feared by the princes of all directions."
"The population of the Huns and Han countries is 500,000, the population of the Huns is 30,000, and the Han troops are 20,000. It is as fast as the wind. Although it is not as good as the Tang Dynasty, it is also a domineering person."
"Even if Zhang Hua replaces Yuan Shu, the final outcome will only repeat the same mistakes and cannot break through Yuan Shu's dilemma."
"Besides, with Zhang Hua restraining the Tang Dynasty and the Huns and Han Kingdoms, we can actively expand to the west and become a large force with a population of one million. At that time, the king will have the capital to compete with the Tang Dynasty."
Meng Tian planned the strategy of fighting for hegemony for Qin Xiaogong.
Qin Xiaogong competed with the Tang Dynasty for hegemony, but it was actually the weaker side.
The history of the Qin Dynasty was too short. Before that, it was just Qin State, and at that time, there was not much population.
The Tang Dynasty lasted for hundreds of years, with unprecedentedly strong national strength, large population, and more military generals.
The Tang Dynasty also had another advantage, that is, the Tang Dynasty adopted all rivers and absorbed military generals from the Turks, Baekje, Uighurs, Khitan and other forces, not just Han generals.
"It should be thankful that the monarch of Qinchuan's Tang Dynasty was not Li Shimin."
Meng Tian understood the affairs of later generations and was quite afraid of Emperor Taizong of Tang.
The Tang Dynasty power of Qinchuan was not the power established by Emperor Taizong of Tang Li Shimin.
Chang'an Town, the main city of the Tang Dynasty's forces, has been upgraded to a third-level town with a population of 80,000. It is the most prosperous town in Qinchuan.
In just one year, the scale of Chang'an Town was close to the city level, which shows the strength of the Tang Dynasty.
"Your Majesty, Yuan Shu's forces are in civil strife and are captured by Zhang Hua, the prince from Heluo. Our Tang Dynasty has two towns and dozens of villages."
"The Tang Dynasty I ruled before was tens of millions of people, and this population was not enough. If I saw Emperor Gaozu and Emperor Taizong, how would I explain to them? Try to find out the reality of this person, and then wait for an opportunity to capture Dazhong Town, and set up Tongguan in the east to avoid the Heluo forces interfering in our Guanzhong. I will capture the entire 800-mile Qinchuan."
A man in a noble dress stood on the shelf of Chang'an Town, looking down at the entire town, with ambitions.
Soon, Chang'an Town will be upgraded to Chang'an City.
The Tang army was conquering cities and land everywhere, and was sent to attack Dazhong Town, with only 12,500 people.
Originally, taking advantage of the merger of Yuan Shu and Jin Wu Shu, this Tang legion was enough to level the Dazhong Town.
However, Zhang Hua led 30,000 people to expedition to Guanzhong and seize Dazhong Town first. The Tang army with 12,500 people was unable to continue to advance eastward, so he stationed troops in Fenghuang Town and asked their emperor for the next move.
To the north of the Wei River, the Huns Han State, and Han King Liu Yuan also learned of the news that the Heluo forces were entering Guanzhong. His troops seized 50,000 people from Yuan Shu.
But soon, the Huns were blocked by Feng Yi.
"The forces from Heluo dare to plot against Guanzhong, but people are not satisfied with their hearts and snakes swallow elephants."
Liu Yuan was furious when he received the news from his son Liu Cong.
In the civil strife of Yuan Shu, Liu Yuan appointed his son Liu Cong as the general and commanded 10,000 Hun cavalry. Ten thousand Han troops went south to occupy the land of Yuan Shu's forces and plunder the population. As a result, Zhang Hua took the lead.
In Liu Yuan's view, it was Zhang Hua who destroyed his plan.
"Your Majesty, there is a group of Huns coming to rely on the north."
"How many of these Huns are there?"
Liu Yuan was indifferent to his mood.
Compared with the 400,000 people of Yuan Shu's power, these refugees or tribes who came to rely on one after another really made Liu Yuan uninterested.
"There are about 30,000 people, who claim to be subordinates of Maodun Shanyu."
"Oh? There are quite a lot of these Huns."
Liu Yuan was immediately excited.
Thirty thousand Huns, this is not a small tribe. If these Huns are incorporated, they can obtain at least ten thousand cavalry.
"Summon the leaders of these Huns to see me."
