Chapter 177 Tea Horse Trade(2/2)
Opening a large number of horse farms in the Jianghuai area is a burden to farmers. Originally, farming could support hundreds of people, but after it was used to raise horses, there would be situations of competing for land with people, which was boycotted by farmers. The Mongolians forced the people to raise horses by force.
Zhang Hua shook his head, not thinking so much.
The most urgent task is to cultivate and fight in Guanzhong and unify the Guanzhong area as soon as possible. As for the princes of Sichuan, Shu and Jianghuai, they are too far away from Zhang Hua and are not within Zhang Hua's consideration for the time being.
"Li Zicheng from the north retreated to Mizhi Village to rest. The Suoguan Village, which was captured by Li Zicheng's old camp soldiers, must be recaptured as soon as possible."
Zhang Hua looked at the topographic map of Guanzhong again. Li Zicheng from the northern Loess Plateau was always a threat.
Li Zicheng took advantage of Zhang Hua's attack on Emperor Xuanzong of Tang, and personally led the old camp soldiers to capture Suoguanzhai and threatened Meiyuan County and Sanyuan County.
The old camp soldiers were Li Zicheng's direct troops. Li Zicheng personally led the old camp soldiers to attack Suoguan Village. In addition, Li Zicheng's many generals, Liao Hua, Wang Ping and others, are really no match for the old camp soldiers who broke into Wang.
At that time, Zhang Hua focused on defeating Emperor Xuanzong of Tang, so he had no time to pay attention to Li Zicheng. It was a blessing in disguise that Li Zicheng only broke a village.
Now that Zhang Hua annexes the power of Emperor Xuanzong of Tang, he wants to regain the Suoguanzhai, which is controlling the key pass, to block Li Zicheng's military attack.
Li Zicheng left behind some old camp soldiers, as well as general Liu Zongmin, to guard Suoguanzhai as a bridgehead for peeping into Guanzhong.
It can be said that Li Zicheng, the King of Rebellion, is definitely not a reckless man. He has advisers such as Li Yan and Song Xiance for him, and his strategic vision is vicious.
"Apart from Li Zicheng's threat, the White Lotus Sect in the Qinling Mountains is not a good deal. Since the White Lotus Sect has moved from Nanyang to Qinling Mountains, then after the White Lotus Sect grows stronger in the Qinling Mountains, it is very likely that it will invade Guanzhong."
Zhang Hua's gaze shifted to the White Lotus Cult forces in the Qinling Mountains in the south, which was also a hidden danger.
Yongzhou established by Zhang Hua was built, with Qin Xiaogong and Cao Zhen to the west, Li Zicheng to the north, Tang Sai'er to the south, and Wanyan Zongwang to the northeast. It can be said that there are enemies on all sides, and it is difficult to form an alliance.
Under the lobbying of the Zongheng family, Qin Xiaogong and Cao Zhen fought for blood to fight against Qiang Xia.
Li Zicheng has been thinking about entering Guanzhong and seizing Zhang Hua's territory, so there is no possibility of an alliance. Unless other princes attack Li Zicheng's territory, Li Zicheng can only talk to Zhang Hua about peace.
Tang Saier's White Lotus Sect was defeated in the Nanyang Basin and might fight back to Nanyang to take revenge, but the greater possibility is to invade Guanzhong and open up new strongholds.
Needless to say, Wanyan Zongwang, these ambitious Jurchens have made enemies with Zhang Hua, and there is no possibility of peace talks, let alone alliances.
"Which force should I attack first?"
Zhang Hua looked at the distribution of forces on the Guanzhong topographic map and fell into deep thought.
The most important thing is that no matter which force is used to kill, other forces will not stand idly by.
"First use the White Lotus Sect?"
Zhang Hua moved his finger to Shangzhou in the Qinling Mountains.
Zhang Hua's power is not short of military generals who march on the mountain road. For example, Deng Ai is best at smuggling through Yinping and taking straight to Shu Han.
The only thing that made Zhang Hua afraid of was Tang Saier's magic.
Zhang Hua was almost certain that this was Tang Saier's talent, but Zhang Hua was not sure about the limit of this talent.
Judging from the information inquired by Zhu Ji, the Jinyiwei, the low-level troops are almost affected by Tang Sai'er's talent. Therefore, if you want to fight with the White Lotus Sect, you must send elite troops.
The princes who ruled against Nanyang used elite troops to attack Tang Saier's main formation, resulting in the defeat of the White Lotus Army, and the White Lotus Sect was defeated and the White Lotus Sect was defeated.
In Shangzhou, Qinling Mountains, the White Lotus Sect’s saint Tang Sai'er secretly sent a message back.
Zhang Hua is investigating Tang Saier's reality and Tang Saier is also investigating Zhang Hua's background.
"The princes in Guanzhong are named Zhang Hua. This man occupied Chang'an? The great princes with a population of millions and a military force of 200,000 may not be weaker than the princes in Nanyang. Our White Lotus Sect has been in a dilemma this time."
Tang Sai'er received information from the White Lotus Sect's Protector and had a deep look.
Her talent is not omnipotent, and her effect on high-level troops is very poor. Therefore, when she encounters an elite legion of powerful princes, Tang Sai'er is very passive.
Another leader of the White Lotus Sect, Xu Hongru, came to Tang Sai'er: "Miss Tang, we have annexed tens of thousands of soldiers of Yuan Shu, and we can send troops to attack Guanzhong."
Tang Sai'er shook her head: "There are 100,000 troops in Chang'an, Guanzhong. Once we leave the Qinling Mountains, we are no match for them and we will definitely be defeated."
Xu Hongru was dissatisfied: "Our White Lotus Sect has been fighting for two years, and it has been countless forces that have been destroyed by us. Unfortunately, it was because of the defeat. I heard that Zhang Hua, who occupied Chang'an, is just an unknown person, so why should we be afraid of him! As long as we send troops to occupy Chang'an, we will establish a dynasty. At that time, I will be the emperor, you will be the queen, and you will be the emperor, and you will be the emperor, which will be the emperor, and you will be the emperor, which will be the emperor, and you will be the emperor, which will be the emperor, and you will be the emperor, which will be the emperor, and you will be the emperor, which will be the emperor," he said.
"Idiot, the princes who have the ability to govern Guanzhong will be an unknown person! Maybe he comes from a later dynasty than us, so no one has heard of it!"
"Also, don't treat me as your queen. We have nothing to do with it. It's just that the two White Lotus Sects merged and were forced to join forces. Even if I become emperor, I am the empress, and you can be the king at most. Next time you talk nonsense, I will kill you, and I will never show mercy."
Tang Sai'er's eyes were cold, as if there was frost, and she kept Xu Hongru from thousands of miles away.
Xu Hongru's forehead bulged with blue veins, but he dared not speak out.
Tang Sai'er has great magic and has repeatedly demonstrated miracles. He is regarded as a saint by many White Lotus Sect disciples. After the White Lotus Sect was the only one who was said to, Xu Hongru and Tang Sai'er merged, Xu Hongru's status was lower than that of Tang Sai'er.
"You go back."
Tang Sai'er wanted to take a bath in the wooden barrel in the house and drink Xu Hongru.
Xu Hongru made a big stride, his eyes full of resentment.
Obviously such a saint was right in front of him, but Xu Hongru did not dare to use force against Tang Sai'er due to Tang Sai'er's supreme status in the White Lotus Sect.
Moreover, Tang Saier's force and magic made Xu Hongru feel afraid.
As the leader of the White Lotus Sect during the Tianqi period of the late Ming Dynasty, Xu Hongru also understood some of the magic of the White Lotus Sect, but it was incomparable to Tang Sai'er, so he condescends to be under Tang Sai'er.
It is precisely through magic that the White Lotus Sect can survive under the siege of many princes.
