The sharpest knife must be held in your own hands.
This is the method of those in power, and Qin Huaidao is no exception. As long as the special forces are strong enough, I believe all the princes will not dare to jump. But Luo Ying is a family member and one of the most trusted people, so don't worry.
Finally, Qin Huaidao turned his attention to Luo Wu.
Luo Wu didn't expect that he had something to do with himself, so he quickly stood up and clasped his fists, his eyes eager.
Qin Huaidao smiled and said: "The guard regiment was upgraded to a guard army, and its strength was expanded to 10,000. Luo Wu was appointed commander-in-chief to guard the safety of the palace and the daily security of the royal city."
"Thank you King Han!" Luo Wu was overjoyed. Although the number was small, each one was carefully selected. The combat effectiveness of an individual soldier was stronger than that of an army. Luo Wu, with 10,000 people, was confident that he could go head-to-head with 100,000 ordinary troops.
Once the rewards were over, everyone got what they wanted and were overjoyed.
Seeing that no one was dissatisfied, Qin Huaidao breathed a sigh of relief. Rewards and punishments are the most sensitive. Once someone is dissatisfied, it will cause disaster in the future. He raised his hands to signal everyone to be quiet and continued: "Xue Wanche, Su Dingfang, stabilize the place and look for opportunities to continue the attack.
Fight to support war. I don’t have food and grass to support you. I’ll lay down the territory and handle it according to the rules. The others will leave with me tomorrow. After returning to Hanzhou, we will seize the time to train our troops in preparation for the future.”
"Obey the order!" Everyone stood up suddenly and solemnly accepted the order with clasped fists. Their eyes were wild and their voices were murderous. It shook the government office and spread far away, making the guards outside moved.
…
Almost at the same time, Jeju Island.
The coconut trees are shady, the sea breeze is gentle, and the sunshine is brilliant.
In the middle of the woods, outside a large stone house, there were guards all over the place, one post every three steps and one sentry every five steps. The guard was airtight and no one could approach easily.
In the room, Yuchi Baolin was staring at a map with a sad face. Sitting next to him were Yuchi Gong, Yuchi Baoqi, and the father and son. None of them spoke, and they were very preoccupied.
After a while, Yuchi Baoqi couldn't help but said: "Brother, why don't you ask the King of Han for help? If nothing else, you can get us two armored ships."
"You're talking nonsense. Do you think it's easy for the King of Han?" Yuchi Gong cursed angrily. After thinking about it, he looked at Yuchi Baolin and asked, "Boss, what on earth do you think?"
Yuchi Baolin sighed and said with a wry smile: "Father, second brother, you also know the news that I sent people to inquire about a few days ago. After the King of Han took over Tubo, he went to the Turks. No one knows what is going on now. The news is transmitted too slowly.
However, it is estimated that the situation will not be optimistic. With continuous campaigns, the Han Palace will not be able to withstand the torment no matter how strong its foundation is."
"Impossible, the King of Han has always supported war with war, and he has not spent any money on it." Yuchi Baoqi objected.
"Shut up first and let the boss speak."
"Dad, you are partial!"
When Yuchi Gong heard this, he became even more angry and prepared to fight. Yuchi Baolin quickly dissuaded him and explained: "What the second brother said is not unreasonable, but people can't stand it after repeated campaigns. Putting aside this, even if the King of Han leads the army
When it comes to the Turks, it is not easy to deal with hundreds of thousands of Turkic troops. In addition, the Turks have a vast territory, and they are all cavalry. They are old and familiar with the terrain, and it is difficult to conquer. It may take at least a year, or it may take more than one year."
"So long?" Yuchi Gong was a little helpless.
Yuchi Baoqi couldn't object and began to think deeply.
Yuchi Baolin smiled bitterly and said: "Unless you use yourself as a bait to attract the Turkic army and then annihilate it, as long as the Turks are scattered in all directions, it will be troublesome to fight everywhere. The King of Han has limited troops and will not be able to defend it after the attack, and he will fall into passivity."
"It makes sense, but without the support of the King of Han, it will be difficult for us to handle it here." Yuchi Gong sighed, stood up and said, "You think about it for yourself, I will go out and get some fresh air."
"Wait a moment."
Yuchi Baolin quickly shouted: "Dad, if you can't do it, take out your money and go to the Tang Dynasty to secretly recruit troops."
"Conscription is against the rules and the court will not agree. What do you think?"
Yuchi Baolin gritted his teeth and said: "Our army suffered heavy losses in the battle some time ago and had to evacuate from the Japanese country. The Japanese country will never take it easy, and the people who suddenly appeared will not miss the opportunity to eat us.
, we will definitely attack after we recover some strength, we must not sit back and wait for death, we must regain our strength, there are no armored ships, no grenades, the only way is to recruit troops, but the court will not unify, and can only operate secretly."
"Operation in secret, what do you mean?" Yu Chigong asked curiously.
"purchase!"
"purchase?"
Yuchi Gong and Yuchi Baoqi shouted in surprise.
"Yes, buy it."
Yuchi Baolin solemnly explained: "There are many prisoners detained in the prisons of the coastal states. The death row prisoners are unruly and courageous, so they are most suitable for being soldiers. As long as they operate in secret and use their hands, they can buy many people over and give them enough money.
, there is always someone tempted."
"It makes sense. For some people, prisoners are just names. There are ways to make them disappear. There are also many refugees, rangers, etc. who can be contacted. They have to pay a lot of money. That's it." Yu Chigong is also a decisive person.
, make decisions quickly.
As for silver, the most indispensable thing on Jeju Island now is silver. The 20 million taels of silver that Qin Huaida looted from the Japanese pirates last time are still there. He occupied nearly half of the Japanese territory some time ago and took back a lot.
When Yuchi Baolin saw that his father agreed, he felt reassured and said, "Then I'll ask my father to guard this place. I'll take some people and boats to go there myself. Others won't worry."
"That's fine, be careful. Dad and your brother are here, so it won't be a big problem." Yuchi Gong agreed.
There are traps everywhere on the island, and they are easy to defend and difficult to attack, so it is not easy to attack them.
When he walked to the door and stepped out with one foot, Yuchi Gong suddenly thought of something. He raised his brows, looked back at Yuchi Baolin and said, "Boss, there is another way."
"Dad, tell me."
"I wrote a letter and sent a trustworthy person to Goguryeo to find Xue Wanshu. Xue Wanshu's younger brother Xue Wanshu followed the King of Han. It is impossible for Xue Wanshu to be reused by the court. He will definitely have second thoughts. We will not make it difficult for him to go to Goguryeo to buy people to compare with him.
It is safer and easier to go to the capitals of the coastal states in the south of the Yangtze River."
"Hiss...that makes sense. Father, I think so."
Yuchi Baolin's eyes lit up and he became excited. Going to the Jiangnan coastal area would inevitably expose his actions and he would be hunted down by the court, but going to Goguryeo was different. As long as Xue Wanshu turned a blind eye, it was easy to operate.
Xue Wanche followed the King of Han, and Xue Wanshu would indeed be feared by the court. Beware, it is impossible for Xue Wanshu not to leave a way out for herself. As long as it is not obvious, safety is not a problem.
After weighing it up, Yuchi Baolin smiled and said: "It's closer to Goguryeo here. I'll pack up and set off immediately, lest things change if I'm too late."
"Okay, let's go." Yuchigong agreed.
"Then what should I do?" Yuchi Baoqi shouted.
"Take people and continue to build defenses to prevent sneak attacks, especially shallow talk, and bury more wooden piles and big rocks to prevent sea ships from docking." Yuchi Baolin warned.
"Don't be verbose. If I'm here, will I be worse than you?" Yu Chigong urged dissatisfiedly.
Yuchi Baolin chuckled and left quickly.
"I'll leave the matter of burying the stakes to you. I'll go watch the manufacturing of rockets and explosive packets. Those are the weapons that kill the enemy. It rained heavily for several days last time. I don't have enough experience. The gunpowder got wet and suffered a big loss. Otherwise, I wouldn't have done it."
If you are defeated and return here, you will not do it again." Yuchi Gong said this and left in a hurry.
"I understand, Dad!"
Yuchi Baoqi agreed wholeheartedly, not daring to neglect, and hurried out of the room.
There is nothing better than this when father and son go into battle!
