"Take away all the craftsmen in the city and hand over the food and grass to the people. We should withdraw," Su Fan stood in the county government office and looked into the distance. He knew that Dong Zhuo might have known about the destruction of Pingyin County.
.
This was a warning Su Fan gave to the other party before leaving.
A few days ago, the two sides had already negotiated, and he wanted the official position of General Mu Zhendong of Yangzhou. As a result, the coalition forces were in internal strife, and most of them were gone. Dong Zhuo felt that he could do it again, so he started to play pull and pull with him.
Su Fan was not used to Dong Zhuo. In terms of strength, he was no less than Dong Zhuo.
At most, the cavalry is not as many as the opponent's, and it is not as elite as the opponent's.
However, he is not without means to deal with the cavalry. Besides, in a few years, he will not be short of cavalry.
In the East China Sea Territory, he established a horse farm early, a horse farm that can accommodate 800,000 war horses.
In the past few years, relying on Mi's business, he has transported hundreds of thousands of war horses from the north. Now the racecourse has also achieved results. As time goes by, there will be more and more war horses in the racecourse.
Naturally, there is no shortage of cavalry.
Su Fan was also preparing for a rainy day. The waters in the south were vast and a naval force was needed, but in the north, if you wanted to move freely, you must have a cavalry. Otherwise, facing the princes in the north, if there was a battle without cavalry, you would still be at a disadvantage.
Even if Su Fan had the means to restrain the cavalry, it would be very troublesome for him to be constantly harassed by light cavalry like Baima Yicong.
In fact, there are really no heavy armored cavalry at the moment. Even the Xiliang cavalry only has leather armor. After all, Dong Zhuo is not from a top family. Where does he have the background to buy heavy armor for his subordinates?
Only Su Fan has this ability.
In fact, there is indeed a heavy armored cavalry in the East China Sea Territory, but it is just an experimental troop, because Su Fan plans to make this heavy armored cavalry invincible.
Even their iron armor must be equipped with rune secret armor.
This kind of secret rune armor is also a kind of rune magic weapon that Mo Gong and the others slowly built according to Su Fan's suggestion.
Of course, this kind of secret rune armor is also very expensive. One piece of secret rune armor costs as much as a hundred pieces of iron armor.
And it must be an ink craftsman who practices the way of runes to create it.
Therefore, his experimental unit is not large in number.
Although he has earned a lot of wealth from business over the years, he still consumes money and food everywhere, especially in the army, where the amount of wealth consumed every year is also staggering.
But the money and food Su Fan has spent on the military over the years has now been revealed.
Just like now, Pingyin County had 50,000 troops, but Su Fan only used 30,000 to conquer the county.
It can be said that it was a complete crushing. After there were no other princes, Su Fan completely released the combat power of the army.
Although Pingyin County was strengthened with talisman formations, it was still unable to withstand Su Fan's 30,000-strong army.
Of course, there are also Xu Chu, Chen Dao and other powerful generals here who play a big role. Although there are also Lian Gang generals in Pingyin City, compared to Xu Chu, Chen Dao and them, the gap is not that big.
The difference between warriors in Zhen Gang Realm may not be very big, but in the Yuanling Realm and Shenzang Realm, the difference between the first level is very big.
What's more, there is a huge gap in getting along.
After Xu Chu rushed to the top of the city, the two Lian Gang generals were unable to block his sword.
Therefore, Pingyin City did not hold back Su Fan's army for long.
By taking the city, Su Fan also gave Dong Zhuo a reminder, telling him that even if the others left, he could still threaten Luoyang.
A few days ago, Tao Qian and Kong Min knew the news coming from Hulao Pass, so they led their troops to Hulao Pass.
Dong Zhuo felt a little regretful, so Su Fan planned this, the last counterattack before leaving.
When he came, there were 50,000 troops, and when he returned, there were 100,000 people, including the talents he collected and some refugees.
Sure enough, a few days later, before Su Fan left Hanoi, Li Su also came again and took an appointment edict. However, the other party played a trick. General Zhendong gave it to him, but Yangzhou Mu did not.
He became a Yuzhou animal husbandry.
Su Fan knew what the other party meant. Did he just want to see him and Yuan Shu fight?
In fact, not only him, but all the princes who left were promoted to nobility by Dong Zhuo one by one. Only Yuan Shao and a few other princes who were still in Hulao Pass were not moved by Dong Zhuo.
Yuan Shao, Cao Cao and the others didn't move either. It was obvious that these people were not willing to give in.
But it will not be easy for their millions of troops to attack Luoyang City. If Lu Bu does not die, and with a fierce general like Lu Bu sitting in command, these princes will also feel terrified.
After all, if it continues and Lu Bu comes out, who will resist him? After Zhang Fei and Guan Yu are gone, the princes realize that their generals are like paper when facing Lu Bu.
Of course, Yan Liang and Wen Chou under Yuan Shao are not bad at all, and their cultivation levels have reached the sixth level of Gang Refining.
Among the generals under the princes, their strength is also at the top level, but slightly worse than Zhang Fei, Guan Yu and others. They are not afraid to join forces to fight against the seventh level of Lian Gang.
The two of them came from the same sect and have the same mind. If they join forces to fight, their combat power will increase to a higher level.
But the two of them alone are no match for Lu Bu. Dong Zhuo also has powerful generals such as Hua Xiong and Zhang Liao under his command.
Of course, these have nothing to do with Su Fan. Whether Yuan Shao and other princes are willing to continue fighting Dong Zhuo has nothing to do with Su Fan.
It's best if the two sides fight to the death. They fight to the death, and they develop rapidly in the rear.
This time he came to join the Qingjun side of the coalition in order to make a name for himself, and also to seek an official position.
Now all this has been achieved. Although Dong Zhuo was clever and replaced Yangzhou Mu, Yuzhou Mu was actually for Su Fan.
That is even better, because he can conquer the talents of Yingchuan openly, especially the Xun family of Yingchuan.
What Su Fan desires most now is Xun Yu.
This man, who was later known as the King's Assistant, had an internal affairs ability no less than that of Xiao He and Zhuge Liang. In fact, he was the talent that Su Fan lacked the most today.
As his territory grew larger, he had to deal with more and more political affairs, and Su Fan was of course reluctant to do so.
He still likes to be the kind of hands-off shopkeeper, but it is difficult to have someone under his command who can lead hundreds of officials like this.
Xi Zhi is the counselor. He has strategies and can make suggestions, but if he is asked to handle comprehensive government affairs, it is a bit inferior. In fact, the same is true for Cheng Yu. They mostly make suggestions.
But Xun Yu was different. Xun Yu was the real prime minister, just like Zhuge Liang.
Of course, Zhuge Liang is regarded as an all-rounder through the ages. Whether it is government affairs or military affairs, he is even at the top level as a staff advisor.
Such people are rare throughout the ages.
But now Zhuge Liang is still a kid, and it is impossible for Su Fan to find him, so Xun Yu, who is the most talented person in the king's assistant, is his best candidate.
