Xu Wei looked at Li Ru and Jia Xu said: "Which of you is willing to stay in Xiliang to assist the Wang Guojun?"
Xu Wei was worried that Wang Guojun was inexperienced, so he decided to find someone familiar with Xiliang to help Wang Guojun!
Jia Xu felt that Wang Guojun was too radical and was worried that he would be implicated, so he did not say anything!
Li Ru said: "In power, my subordinates are willing to assist King Zuo as governor!"
Xu Wei nodded and said: "From now on, you will be responsible for the governance of Xiliang! I will leave the government affairs of Xiliang to you!"
Then Xu Wei said to Wang Guojun: "You'd better start solving the Xiliang matter within this year, and then start preparing to use troops in the Western Regions. Otherwise, it will be difficult to sell the Xiliang bonds. After all, those businessmen are also It’s not that easy to fool!”
Wang Guojun said: "My subordinates will definitely not disappoint the ruler!"
The Royal Army knew that if they wanted to divide the land, they must have a strong army to suppress the local tyrants, especially in a chaotic place like Xiliang! Everyone is used to talking with the soldiers and horses in their hands.
So after Xu Wei was appointed, Wang Guojun and Li Ru first examined the army captured by Daqian. Those who were guilty of serious crimes were either killed by them or were punished with hard labor to build the city wall. Soldiers with no bad records were re-instated. Reorganize the Xiliang Army recruited by Wang Lei.
The Imperial Army reorganized 70,000 Xiliang troops! Then these armies were divided into units of 10,000 people and were stationed in a county to suppress any powerful people in Xiliang who dared to oppose the land state-owned policy! And stability first began under the oppression of the Imperial Army. The policy of dividing the land! As long as the land is divided and the militia is formed, Xiliang's powerful people will not be able to make waves!
At the same time, Wang Lei's 10,000-strong army quickly marched towards Longxi County!
When the heroes of Xiliang saw the direction of Wang Lei's march, they basically understood that Lei Gong and the others were heading towards Song Jian!
Who made Song Jian so arrogant? Others who rebelled did not even dare to call themselves generals, but he could not occupy more than a few counties, but he dared to call himself king, established a court, and even called him the king of Han Dynasty! This made all the powerful people in Xiliang watch. They couldn't tolerate him, so they cut off their ties with Song Jian one after another! So much so that he, the king of Pinghan, could only enclose the territory for himself! No one outside of Xiliang knew that there was such a separatist force.
For such a promising person, no matter who wants to take charge of Xiliang, they must first bulldoze Song Jian!
If other princes came, the powerful people in Xiliang would be willing to watch Song Jian's misfortune, but it happened that the one who came to Xiliang was Lei Gong. As soon as he came to Xiliang, he wanted to divide their fields and destroy this noble family. In this way, Song Jian This little thing is nothing at all!
The powerful people in Xiliang not only informed Song Jian of the information about Wang Lei's army, but also found ways to fund a large amount of food, weapons and armors. They even paid Song Jian to recruit more wild Qiang people in the West Sea to fight against Lei Gong. Come on hard and let him know that we Xiliang people are not easy to mess with either!
They now want to see Lei Gong fail. Even if Lei Gong defeats Song Jian, they must cause Lei Gong to suffer heavy losses. They know that they Xiliang people are not allowed to be manipulated by him. So they give up the idea of dividing the fields!
Only Song Jian felt that he had suffered an unreasonable disaster!
He was so angry in his palace that he said: "What can I do for a big man to rebel against Guan Da? What reason does Lei Gong have to beat me!"
Song Jian naturally knew that Dagan entered Xiliang with great fanfare. He even knew that his old superior Han Sui had been completely wiped out by Lei Gong in a battle!
The army of Daqian was so powerful that when Wang Lei's army entered Longxi County, Song Jian reduced his power for fear that Lei Gong would also sweep away his territory!
Originally, when Wang Lei's army left Longxi County, Song Jian thought that the matter was over. After all, Lei Gong was a famous prince in the world, and the struggle for hegemony in the Central Plains was the most important thing to Lei Gong. Xiliang, a poor place, was not favored by the princes at all. !
Lei Gong should be preparing to attack Guanzhong now. Because apart from this, Song Jian could not think of any other value Xiliang had to Lei Gong.
But soon his old friends came to his door one after another, offering money, food and equipment, but he still didn't understand what was going on.
Then his old friends told him that Lei Gong wanted to divide their fields. In order to frighten the tyrants in Xiliang, he wanted to find a powerful tycoon to kill the chickens to scare the monkeys, and he, Song Jian, was the target of Lei Gong to kill the chickens to scare the monkeys. Now he is doing it. Wan Dajun had already charged towards Pan Han, which made Song Jian dumbfounded!
Prime Minister Song Jian immediately said: "Your Majesty, let's just run to the West Sea. Lei Gong can't chase us to the West Sea. We can come back after Lei Gong's army has left!"
But Song Jian's general immediately retorted: "It's already October, and within a month, the entire West Sea will be frozen by heavy snow. You want us to run to the West Sea now. This is not asking for death!"
"Now that I have money and food in my hands, I can recruit tens of thousands of wild Qiang people. With the troops in our hands, we can defeat Lei Gong's 10,000-strong army. The chance of victory is ours! As long as we win this battle, Lei Gong will have to wait until next year if he wants to send out more troops. , so that we have more time to prepare! Judging from the powerful people in Xiliang supporting us, this Lei Gong in Xiliang must be unpopular. If we can defeat Lei Gong, maybe the king can really become the lord of Xiliang!"
Song Jian said helplessly: "You, the king, don't want to fight. The gunpowder weapons in Lei Gong's hands are powerful. Han Sui, an old guy, had an army of 60,000 that was wiped out by Lei Gong in one battle. The ten thousand of us are not enough to defeat Lei Gong with one hand." Even if you become the lord of Xiliang, what's the point of defeating these 10,000 people? Lei Gong has hundreds of thousands of troops, and there are more than 100,000 troops in Xiliang alone, so what should we fight with?"
"I just want to ask you, do you understand how to resist this gunpowder?"
Song Jian's generals and prime ministers all looked at each other. Gunpowder was the most widely circulated weapon in the Central Plains in recent years. It was so miraculous that it cracked mountains and rocks, and the sky collapsed and earth shattered. Even when it reached Xiliang, everyone thought that the people of the Central Plains were people. Bragging here.
But Lei Gong used gunpowder weapons to defeat 60,000 Xiliang troops in one battle. Now Xiliang's powerful men finally knew the power of gunpowder weapons.
This battle made the entire Xiliang fear gunpowder. Because they didn't know much about gunpowder, they naturally didn't know how to resist the attack of gunpowder weapons!
Han Sui and Ma Teng's 60,000-strong army actually did not fight against Lei Gong. In just two rounds of bombing, they directly destroyed the 60,000-strong Xiliang coalition army!
Now Song Jian is worried that no matter how many wild Qiang people he recruits, when Lei Gong's gunpowder bombs come over, the army will disperse and the battle will be impossible to fight!
Prime Minister Song Jian's novel said: "Your Majesty, if we also join Lei Gong, the matter of us proclaiming the king's establishment is a capital crime in the eyes of the Han Dynasty, but Lei Gong also started a rebellion, so he should not care about these things!"
But Song Jian couldn't bear to live a life of kingship and hegemony. After thinking for a long time, he said: "You two find a way to contact the Qiang people in the West Sea and recruit as many as you can. Now our weapons and equipment are not as good as others. Now we can only see what we can do."
We can no longer defeat Thunder Lord by relying on the strength of numbers!"
