Chapter 229: Commander of the North Road

The outside world first spread Qin Guan as a god of war, and then turned into a star to descend to the earth. He also said that he understood the magic of immortals. No matter what, when people heard this great victory, they finally had some confidence in Zhao State.

At this time, Qin Guan also left a great reputation in the hearts of the people across the country.

Qin Guan is still recruiting troops. There were originally 70,000 to 80,000 residents in Dayuan City, but due to the invasion of the Liao army, a large number of people flocked into the city. Now there are 20,000 people in Dayuan City. There are so many people, management is a big problem.

When Qin Guan recruited soldiers, all officials from Dayuan City naturally supported him very much. In addition, the instructions from the governor's yamen were in great effort.

In less than three days, Qin Guan recruited 10,000 new recruits again.

Replenishing the new recruits into the veterans, just outside Ohara City, the second-class generals of Xiong Daxiong trained them.

Qin Guan was standing on a pile of soil, looking at the soldiers training on the plain, thinking about what to do next. At this moment, Li Xuan rushed over and arrived near Qin Guan, and said breathlessly: "Congratulations to Lord Qin, Lord Qin has been promoted again."

Before Qin Guan could speak, Xiong Er next to him said excitedly: "What has the young master been promoted to?"

Li Xuan said: "I was granted the title of bachelor of Guanwen Hall, and was granted the title of Yong'an Hou of Qin Guan and the National Protection General. They are all third-rank ranks. In less than a month, Lord Qin was promoted to the third level. I really don't know how many people I envy."

Qin Guan was naturally very happy about the promotion, and thought about these official titles and rewards.

The bachelor of Guanwen Hall is a false title, which is considered a kind of beautiful position. It has no position and only comes and goes to the attendants to prepare consultants and shows respect and favor. Similar to the scholars of later generations, members of the expert group, and consultants of economics.

Yong'an Hou, this is better understood. If you are promoted to a higher position, this is a title, which is purely a symbol of status. This marquis of Qin Guan is not an ordinary marquis, but should be considered the founding marquis, the biggest one after the marquis. This time the emperor is indeed quite generous.

As for the rank of the general of the country protection, a big character is added in the middle, which is naturally one level older than the previous general of the country protection. On the rise, there is also the general of the country protection.

Xiong Er quickly congratulated: "Congratulations to Master, you will be the marquis in the future."

Qin Guan was naturally happy about the promotion, but there were many things in front of him. Besides, these titles were all given, so his job was still the prefect of Xiongzhou.

Recruiting soldiers continued. Qin Guan planned to recruit at least 30,000 soldiers. Even if he had guns, he did not dare to rashly lead 20,000 people to fight against the other side's tens of thousands of cavalry.

Five days passed, and Qin Guan was about to tell the governor Duan Zhongqiu that he would lead his troops back to Xiongzhou, but at this moment, a major news came and Li Jilong was defeated.

Li Jilong was the commander of the border army personally appointed by the emperor. He controlled all border troops during the war, naturally including Qin Guan. Recently, Li Jilong has gathered about 150,000 border troops and stationed near Xiangzhou, blocking the 150,000 army of Xiao Chucai, the king of the South Courtyard.

Li Jilong was also quite talented. He was not in a hurry to fight the Liao army and was ready to stabilize his position and then plot other things.

Qin Guan originally thought that with Li Jilong's steadyness, he would have been stalemate with Xiao Chucai for a long time, but unexpectedly, the opponent's plan to attract the enemy was a series of tricks, and Li Jilong got into Xiao Chucai's trap and finally responded hastily. The two sides fought with real swords and guns. Li Jilong lost a lot and had to retreat to Zhengzhou.

Looking at the map, Qin Guan frowned.

From now on, there seems to be no larger corps north of the Yellow River except himself.

And there was no unified command, and he could not take care of Li Jilong, thousands of miles away.

And even more shocking news is still behind. Seeing that Zhao State is now in danger, Xixia was also a little ready to take the opportunity to tear off a piece of meat from the Great Zhao State. Xixia gathered 40,000 troops and had arrived at the front line of Lanzhou, Qingzhou, and the border troops were in a hurry.

The news of abnormal movements in Xixia naturally spread to the Zhao court. The emperor was extremely anxious and finally made a decision.

"Qin Guan was the commander of the Northern Route Army, commanding Hexi Road, Hebei West Road, and Yongxing Roadside Army, resisting foreign aggression and fighting bravely."

After Qin Guan received this promotion order, his first reaction was, "I've been promoted again."

After releasing the promotion order, Qin Guan opened the latest battle report and started studying it.

Now Yelu Chongxin's progress has slowed down. Cao Bin, the commander of the imperial guards personally, led 30,000 imperial guards to set up a formation in Yangzhou.

Originally, the Ministry of War planned to block the enemy from the Yangtze River, but Yangzhou was an important economic important place for Zhao State. If Yangzhou was destroyed, even if it was taken back in the future, the losses of Zhao State would be incalculable. Therefore, Cao Bin confronted Yelu Chongxin's army in Yangzhou.

In the central part, Li Jilong retreated to Zhengzhou, and 150,000 to 60,000 to 70,000. Finally, relying on the advantages of Zhengzhou's national food and supplies transfer stations, he quickly replenished 70,000 to 80,000 new soldiers, and then dispatched soldiers from other prefectures and counties to collect 200,000 to continue to confront Xiao Chucai, the king of the South Court.

As for the north, it is Qin Guan.

He only has 40,000 soldiers in his hands, and most of them are new recruits, and he has no combat experience at all. Not to mention fighting cavalry, even if he fights bandits, he might be dispersed as soon as he storms.

What he needs to face now is the coming battle with the Xixia army.

In fact, there are also troops stationed in the Lanzhou direction of Qingzhou, such as the Qinglan Army, but their number is only more than 10,000, and most of them are infantrymen. The combat effectiveness of the Western Xia soldiers is no worse than that of the Liao Kingdom, so the Qinglan Army will definitely not be able to stop it.

The order from the Ministry of War to Qin Guan was to defend the Qinglan line. It is now very difficult to deal with the Liao people in China, and the Xixia people must not be allowed to come.

Qin Guan threw down his pen and murmured: "If Liao is a tiger, Xixia is at most a wolf. Liao has the intention to annex Zhao. Xixia, they seized the opportunity to bite a piece of meat from the Great Zhao State."

"You can't get entangled with him, as that would completely drag your steps to death. Qin Guan decided to fight to the death of the world and beat the people of Xixia hard, hurt, and be afraid of him. He cried and called his parents, and he didn't dare to have any thoughts after he beat him."

"If you dare to covet the land of Zhao State and come to take advantage of it, you must have the awareness of being stewed directly by someone."

Qin Guan called Xiong Da and ordered: "Immediately organize the army and let Dayuan City organize supplies, and breakfast will be delivered to Qinglan tomorrow."

"Yes, Master."

Xiong Da was very quick, and Dayuan Mansion now fully supported Qin Guan's request and prepared what Qin Guan needed overnight.

On the second day, Qin Guan led the Northern Army out of the Qinglan line.

Yes, the full name of the army in Qin Guan’s hand is Northern Lu Jun.
