Chapter 199 Changes in the situation
Because they lacked heavy weapons such as rushing the city car, the speed of returning to the trip was twice as fast. Early that morning, they arrived outside the city gate. Because they left 7,000 soldiers to guard the Jinyang City for Luo Xiu, Qing Cang himself brought Zhao Zilong, Zhang Liao and others to a total of 50,000 troops back to Huaxia City, and the formation was even larger than when they went to war.
When they arrived outside the city, Wu Chaojing, Xu Xun, Wu You and others received news in advance that they had been waiting for a long time ten miles west of the city.
When they saw Qing Cang and others, they rode their horses to meet them. Everyone said in unison: "Congratulations to the commander for returning in triumphant success!"
Such a formation is very obvious, Qing Cang won the victory.
"Well, this trip went very smoothly, and I got another city. From now on, Jinyang City is also included in my China territory. By the way, Xu Xun, has the situation changed a lot recently?"
Xu Xun replied: "Return Commander, Huangfu Song led his army to defeat the Yellow Turban Army at Cangting, and the guard Sima Fuxie captured Bu Si, Zhang Bo and Liang Zhongning alive. Emperor Ling of Han in Luoyang issued an edict, ordering Huangfu Song to lead his army to fight Zhang Jiao. Huangfu Song was currently dealing with Zhang Jiao at Guangzong."
Guo Jia said: "In this way, if Guangzong is destroyed, Huaxia City may become the second Guangzong. This time the Ling Emperor is really angry and sent Huangfu Song to fight. You must know that Huangfu Song's name is so powerful that he is the world!"
He had reason to believe that Huangfu Song would definitely win, and his military talents were far better than Dong Zhuo. Compared with Lu Zhi, he was more brave; compared with Dong Zhuo, he was more strategic.
Xu Xun said: "There is still Xia Quyang. At least they will consider us after they break Xia Quyang. It is rumored that Zhang Bao returned to Xia Quyang and began to recruit village warriors again, with nearly 30,000 people. This time it may be detrimental to us."
"What if they took Guangzong, then walked around us, and surrounded Quyang through our Huaxia City?"
Guo Jia's assumption is not impossible. After all, the battlefield is changing because the existence of Huaxia City has added a lot of variables to the entire battle situation in the future. Fighting or not fighting is only a matter of thought.
Xu Xun wanted to say something else, but was stopped by Qing Cang.
"Okay, soldiers come and generals come and flood the water. With you here, Huangfu Song is not worthy of my fear."
This is a affirmation of the two major advisers.
He asked again: "Where is Dong Zhuo now?"
Qing Cang also had a deep thought about Dong Zhuo, and this guy should be as recorded in historical records.
Xu Xun said: "Dong Zhuo was rescued by three people a few days after leaving Huaxia City. Later, he brought the remnants back to Luoyang. He was dismissed to the court for his defeat and was later imprisoned by Emperor Ling in Luoyang. I am afraid he will never see the light of the sky in his life."
That would be like a sentence of Dong Zhuo for no purpose. Unless there was a general amnesty, he would probably have to stay in prison for the rest of his life and would not be resurrected. That was a coincidence. After a period of time, Emperor Ling's pardoned the world and Dong Zhuo was released.
Guo Jia said angrily: "This fat man should be sent to jail and be placed on him."
No one here has any good impression of Dong Zhuo.
"Minister Wu, what happened in the city these days?"
"It's nothing big to go back to the commander, everything is as usual. However, there are several top-notch students in the Military Academy. I'll find a while to let them fight with the army and improve their combat experience."
"Very good, what's going on with the Qixian Pavilion?"
"It has been completed, and I will also compare the wise men of all the world who are staying in according to the list you gave me. Once they meet, they will be persuaded to stay and respect them as guests of honor."
Qing Cang felt that it was too slow to recruit famous generals by competitions alone, so he asked Wu Chaojing to build a recruitment hall. Anyone with talented or force can live there for free, waiting for the selection of the Chinese Legion, but everyone can only stay twice, each time is limited to ten days. Once you are not selected within ten days, I am very sorry, you have to leave and can only wait for one month to come again. If you are not selected again, then Huaxia City is not suitable for you.
The military generals in the Recruitment Hall started as battalion commanders, while the literati started as deputy regiment staff. Once selected, they were basically on the way to take off and were treated generously.
There is a special assessment in the Recruitment Hall. Once it passes the assessment, it will be sent to the military leader for selection. Of course, the list Qing Cang gave to Wu Chaojing is the only one in the list of names in "The Record of Famous Generals" and "The Record of Famous Scholars".
He was so confident because once the fame of Huaxia City came out, heroes from all over the world would inevitably flock in. At that time, he chose others, not others chose him. He believed that there would definitely be capable people coming to surrender.
"Okay, remember, don't miss any opportunity, and don't miss anyone, because each of them is crucial."
"I understand, Commander."
"Sure, there are still many internal affairs in the future, so please take care of it."
"This is what I should do, and I will definitely live up to the commander's expectations."
Qing Cang nodded with satisfaction and looked at Wu You again. "What difficulties have you encountered in implementing the monetary policy during this period of time?"
"Returning to the commander, it's not, everything is as planned."
"What about the Qianghu trade?"
"As usual, they suddenly increased their procurement during this period, and we were a little tired of dealing with it, but now it's fine."
"Trade trade requires running-in. If possible, we can open up a few more paths. I want Huaxia City to become the economic center of the north, and all the commodities in the north must be gathered here, so wealth is in our hands."
"yes!"
"Okay, let's go and let the army have a good rest. Recently, the soldiers have indeed suffered. I will reward the entire army tonight! Let those who have made meritorious services not be buried."
When everyone heard this, they were extremely excited. Every time they returned from the war, only Qing Cang was the most concerned. This time, a large number of positions such as platoon leaders and company commanders would inevitably be produced, and even a small number of battalion-level military positions would be included.
The troops shouted, "Thank you, Commander!"
Such a shout is full of confidence.
"Okay! The whole army returns to the city! We will not return until we are drunk at night!"
A group of people and a total of 50,000 generals and soldiers were heading into the city in an orderly manner.
It took a long time for 50,000 people to pass the suspension bridge. Qing Cang and others were not in a hurry to go back, but instead inspected the surroundings first. They wanted to see if Yang Zizong of the Engineering Department could do his part, because this city was too important and there was no flaw.
He led Zhao Zilong, Zhang Liao and Dian Wei to the north to the north gate. At this time, the place was crowded and people were constantly about to enter the city. Suddenly, he saw two familiar faces.
"Is it them?"
Not far from them, he saw two people, who were fat and thin, holding a note in line waiting for passage.
He didn't even think about walking directly to them, and Zhao Zilong and the other three followed behind.
Chapter completed!
