Chapter 124 Yang Wudi(1/2)
"Cheng Yaojin and Niu Jinda captured eight forts, captured 27,000 people and 1,500 oxen."
"Mawu conquered four forts, captured 15,000 people and 900 oxen."
"Wang Ping conquered five mountain villages in Wushan and captured 8,000 people."
Zhang Hua sent military generals to plunder along Mount Hua and the northern foot of Mount Wu, and successively obtained a population of 50,000.
Because the population is born at random, there are many people living in the deep mountains and old forests, and there are also powerful people who build forts, protect themselves, occupy land and become kings, gather a lot of people.
Zhang Hua sent troops to destroy these small forces, and their population belonged to Zhang Hua from then on.
The biggest gain is the more than a thousand beggars who beg for the commander of Tian Jue.
The Qihuo Army is a sixth-level army, and its salary is similar to that of low-level army. It can be said to be one of the most cost-effective troops.
When Tian Rui heard that Chen Wu had surrendered to Zhang Hua, he also led his troops to surrender and settled in Huayin County.

[Awakening Talent]: Live toward death (the lower the blood volume, the more serious the injury is. Tian Su can burn internal energy, make the blood boil and gain higher combat power)
[Article]: One of the commanders of Qihuo in the Jin Dynasty, claiming to be after Tian Feng, was defeated by Shi Le, the leader of the Jie people.
Tian Xu claimed to be a descendant of Tian Feng, a counselor of Yuan Shao in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, and Zhang Hua was skeptical.
Many celebrities in the Jin Dynasty were descendants of some civil officials and military generals in the Eastern Han Dynasty. Tian Yue claimed to be descendants of Tian Feng, which was difficult to examine.
At present, two coaches in the Qihuo Army are serving Zhang Hua.
After the Qihuo Army split, Qihuo Commander fought on his own and was defeated by Shi Le, the leader of the Jie people who swept across the Central Plains at that time.
The father of Wudao Tianwang Ran Min was a member of Chen Wu, the Quihuo Army, so Ran Min could get the full support of the Quihuo Army.
The Quaihuo Army is also a legend.
When Tian Rui saw Zhang Hua, the two talked about the Jin Dynasty, and Tian Rui sighed.
Like the Song Dynasty, the Jin Dynasty was quite cowardly.
"How about setting up a camp of begging for the left and right of the imperial guards. You and Chen Wu each lead a begging for the life force and serve me directly?"
Seeing that the Qihuo Army was a military householder for generations, and the male was a sixth-level military branch when he became an adult, which was somewhat similar to the Spartan warriors in ancient Greece, Zhang Hua decided to incorporate the Qihuo Army into the Imperial Guard and directly control it.
If you do not directly control this force of military households for generations, there may be a lot of trouble in the future.
In order to prevent the Qihuo Army from joining together to expand, Zhang Hua divided the Qihuo Camp into two parts, allowing Tian Su and Chen Wu to check and balance each other.
"The general is determined to unify the world and make the people of the world live and work in peace and contentment. How dare Tian Rui not serve? Furthermore, Liu Yuan once disturbed the Central Plains, and I swear to destroy it!"
Tian Suo mentioned Liu Yuan, the Xiongnu Chanyu who established the Han Dynasty, and gritted his teeth.
The Qihuo Army hated the Xiongnu at that time and believed that these Hu people had been displaced and left their hometowns.
Therefore, the beggar army and these forces remained unstoppable.
"Don't worry, Liu Yuan will capture us sooner or later."
Zhang Hua conquered the second beggar Tian Sui, who made a feud with Liu Yuan, and he could use Tian Sui's hatred for the Huns to defeat Liu Yuan.
Tian Su was settled in Huayin County, and Zhang Hua distributed the barren fields to the family of the Qihuo Army to cultivate and began to farm in the south of the Wei River.
The various forces of Qinchuan, the eight hundred miles of Qinchuan, thought that Zhang Hua, the cross-river dragon, would expand in full swing after the arrival of the river.
But Zhang Hua defeated the cavalry that went south from the Huns and Han Kingdom, and had no other actions. Instead, he rebuilt the villages and towns damaged by the war, appeased the hearts of the people, organized a large number of refugees to farm and attack the bandits, which seemed to be satisfied.
South of the Wei River, you can see a large number of refugees driving oxen to plow the endless farmland, plowing the fields in a bustling manner. It is hard to imagine that this is a chaotic era.
Zhang Hua has summarized a complete farming system in Heluo, and also has a complete set of field officials' systems.
Zhang Hua dispatched a group of land officials to come and organize farmers from various towns and villages to cultivate to restore productivity and people's hearts as soon as possible.
Zhang Hua looked harmless, but in fact he was secretly accumulating strength to destroy the Huns and Han countries.
Zhang Hua's performance made many major forces in Guanzhong breathe a sigh of relief.
At least on the surface, Zhang Hua did not have the strength to sweep Guanzhong, and the threat seemed to be very small. He was still trapped in Yuan Shu's dilemma and could only increase the population by subdueing bandits or mountain barbarians.
The Tang Dynasty sent a military general to guard Fenghuang Town in the east, monitor the movements of Zhang Hua's forces, and then concentrate on attacking the powerful enemies in the north.
At present, the Zhang Hua power located on the edge of Qinchuan is not a confidant of the Tang Dynasty.
The main target of the major forces is the hinterland of the Guanzhong Plain, which has the largest population and the vastest plain.
Emperor Tang recruited twelve military generals and 40,000 Tang troops to attack the forces in the north and break through two towns in a row, which was unstoppable.
Forty thousand Tang troops set out to fight, and they were mighty and flags covered the sky, which was simply difficult for ordinary forces to resist.
The forces attacked by the Tang army were unwilling to be destroyed like this, so they summoned 30,000 troops in the territory and fought with 40,000 Tang troops, but were defeated by the Tang army.
The defeated remnants retreated to the mountain town.
This second-level town is built on the mountainous landscape, easy to defend but difficult to attack.
The Tang army besieged the city at the foot of the mountain and decided whether to attack or siege the city.
If you attack Shanzhen, as strong as the Tang army, you will suffer heavy losses. After all, there are also powerful generals in the defenders.
If you siege the city, as long as the defenders finish their food, the Tang army can destroy this force without spending one soldier. The disadvantage is that the siege takes too long.
Finally, after discussion by twelve generals, the Tang army chose to siege the city and sent envoys to recruit surrendered defenders.
The defending generals were covered in blood and looked down at the Tang army camp that stretched more than ten below.
The Tang army was so powerful that he felt powerless.
This Tang army is supported by strong national strength and is supported by a million people, exceeding the vast majority of forces. The forces attacked by the main forces of the Tang army often collapse in one blow.
"If there were such a strong army in the late Tang Dynasty, how could the feudal states be divided?"
When the guard saw the murderous Tang army, he really couldn't find a way to break the situation.
He had already killed hundreds of Tang troops, but he was still defeated and forced to defend the city.
The lord here led his personal soldiers to the city and looked at the Tang army at the foot of the mountain, and said to the guard general: "Jiye, the Tang army seems to be planning to siege the city. Do we still have a chance to make a comeback?"
The guard replied: "There are three choices at present. One is to surrender to the Tang army. The second is to defend the city and wait for an accident in the rear of the Tang army. The third is to break out, go to other places, and work hard again."
The lord frowned. For him, it was difficult to make a choice between these three choices: "It's better to defend the city first and wait for the change. I'm not willing to fail."
The guard general said again: "As long as the lord does not surrender, Jiye will never surrender."
On other nearby hills, a team of cavalry was secretly observing the movements of the Tang army.
"The main force of the Tang army attacked this city, perhaps this is an opportunity to attack Emperor Tang."
"There are still many Tang troops in Chang'an Town, which may not be successful. Emperor Tang is hostile to me, so I cannot fall into his hands, otherwise I will be cut into pieces by him and dismembered by five horses."
"We can unite other forces that are dissatisfied with the Tang Dynasty and divide the Tang Dynasty together. The trees are fascinated by the forest, and the wind will destroy them."
"This is all that's the case. It will take some time to plan."
After determining the location of the 40,000 Tang troops, this team of cavalry quickly disappeared, returned to their territory, and began to make arrangements.
None of the big forces that can survive Qinchuan's fierce competition are all calculating each other.
Even if the other party is a force as strong as the Tang Dynasty, it will still be plotted by other forces.
Which lord who can survive is not a ruthless person?
Among them, there are many princes who competed with Guangwu, Emperor Tang, Emperor Song, and Hongwu in the same era!
In Huayin County, Zhang Hua convened Li Ji, Chen Gong, Yan Xiang and other advisers to discuss the next goal.
Zhang Hua sent a large number of detailed works to find out the movements of the Tang army.
"There is another force between the Tang Dynasty and the Huns and Han countries - Liu Chong. This person is Liu Zhiyuan's brother."
Zhang Hua once captured the Later Han emperor Liu Zhiyuan alive.
Liu Zhiyuan's younger brother Liu Chong established a force in Guanzhong.
Zhang Hua didn't care much about Liu Chong, who had no sense of existence. He was concerned about Liu Jiye, the general under Liu Chong.
Liu Jiye has another familiar name, that is, Yang Ye, the first generation of Yang family generals, known as "Yang Wudi"!
With the help of Yang Ye, Liu Chong became a second-rate force in Qinchuan and also had a population of 300,000.
However, under the offensive of 40,000 Tang troops, Yang Ye was unable to support himself and was eventually defeated and retreated to the mountain city.
Yang Ye's situation is similar to Meng Tian who assisted Prince Fusu. He can't beat four hands with two fists. There are many excellent generals in the Tang army, and the only one who can use Liu Chong's military generals is Yang Ye.
