Choose three out of ten at the beginning, summon ten gods to dominate the other world

Yunshan left in a panic. This trip to Zongzhou was a loss for nothing. He lost hundreds of thousands of troops in vain. Not only did he not get any benefit, but he also had to face criticism.

If Yunshan doesn't handle it well, it will give others an excuse to criticize him. He also lost so many troops, and he must not have a good life.

These have nothing to do with Long Tian. After confirming that Yunshan has evacuated, Long Tian will also leave.

"I, Yuan Chonghuan, pay my respects to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

After completing the mission, Yuan Chonghuan led the Guanning Iron Cavalry back to Hucheng.

"General Yuan, please stand up. Thanks to General Yuan's timely arrival in this battle, General Yuan will return to Mangshan with this Crown Prince later."

Long Tian has other arrangements for Yuan Chonghuan's cavalry.

"Lord Jiang, General Huo, the defense of Hucheng is very important. Yunshan returned in defeat this time, but there is a possibility that he will come again in the future."

"Therefore, for the defense of Hucheng and Qingcheng, this prince will make corresponding arrangements. I hope you can understand."

"Xu Huang, you lead the Zongzhou Zhenbei Army that came this time, and stay to defend Yunzhou. Military operations will be led by you."

Hucheng is in an important position, and Long Tian must arrange his own people.

The remaining tens of thousands of Zhenbei Army will stay temporarily, which can also greatly strengthen the defense of Hucheng. The reason why Hucheng Lord Jiang Tong and Chief General Huo Pengjing were called here is to avoid misunderstandings and confirm Xu Huang's position as the chief general in front of them.

"Yes, Your Highness."

Xu Huang did not hesitate and obeyed the order.

Regarding the city guards and other forces of Zongzhou, Long Tian has a plan in mind, but it is not suitable for implementation now. After all, Zongzhou has just been controlled, and Long Tian still needs to consider the issue of stability.

In addition, there is the Jingbian Army of Lucheng, which Long Tian needs to arrange together.

The next day, Long Tian led his army out of Hucheng.

After several days of running around, Long Tian successfully returned to Mangshan.

"Jia Xu, how is the mining of the black iron ore going?"

This is Long Tian's most concerned issue at the moment.

"Your Highness, it's almost finished, and it's expected to be finished within a week."

The reserves of black iron ore are relatively large, but with tens of thousands of troops taking turns day and night, the effect is also very obvious.

"How is the work of conquering the cities in Zongzhou going?"

"Your Highness, General Zhang Liao temporarily left one rebel city unconquered, and the others have been conquered. At the same time, 150,000 Zhenbei troops were sent to garrison 15 cities in Zongzhou, and the city guards of each city were transferred. At present, 500,000 Zongzhou city guards have all gone to Yuncheng, ready to be handed over to General Gao Shun."

This was planned by Long Tian before.

Originally, transferring Gao Shun to Zongzhou would make it easier to train these city guards, and even without Gao Shun, other generals would be able to do this job.

But Long Tian has other arrangements for the Zongzhou City Guards. Using them from other places can avoid many incidents.

"Li Cunxiao, the Zongzhou City Guards gathered near Mangshan will be handed over to you for command. They will join the Zhenbei Army and practice our skills. When this batch of Zhenbei Army forms combat effectiveness, you will lead the army to Lucheng."

The safety of the city of Zongzhou will be handed over to the Zhenbei Army from the northern border, and half of the newly joined Zhenbei Army that originally belonged to Zongzhou will go to Lucheng to prepare to deal with many alliances.

As for the remaining half, Long Tian plans to send it to Huo Qubing. The war with Liang will break out sooner or later, and Long Tian also needs to prepare early.

Unlike the previous strategy in the northern border, Long Tian does not want to defend blindly. If these hostile forces do not hurt him, they will never end.

What's more, Long Tian is also thinking about the vast land, population and resources.

"Your Highness, the chief general sent by the court to replace King Wen and the new governor of Zongzhou have entered the northern border and will arrive in Zongzhou soon."

The court army could not enter, so it had to settle for the next best thing and send a new general to replace Xiao Chenghao.

At the same time, the old emperor's plan also began. The list of new governors of various states in Xia Kingdom has been released, and the governor of Zongzhou will arrive soon.

"Don't worry about them. I will find a way to deal with them after they arrive."

If Long Tian did not rise up, this matter would be unavoidable, unless Zongzhou was no longer wanted.

The strategy Long Tian adopted in Zongzhou was still relatively effective. He transferred the army away and replaced it with his own people. No one could think of commanding the Zhenbei Army.

Without military power, let alone a governor, even if the old emperor came, there was no way to change the situation.

"Your Highness, the alliance of nations, led by Qiyun, has united with more than a dozen other small nations to form an 800,000-man coalition army, and is moving towards Lucheng."

"They announced to the public that Xiao Chenghao promised to give them property and resources in exchange for a ceasefire and peace, but Xiao Chenghao broke his promise, and they want to take back their interests themselves."

Jia Xu told Long Tian another thing.

"It doesn't matter, I will rush to Lucheng immediately.City, these people from the alliance of countries just want to take advantage of the fire, don't they see if they have good teeth. "

Long Tian has no good impression of these small countries. When Xia is strong, they are more obedient than pugs, but once the situation in Xia is unstable, they will jump out to grab food.

If it weren't for the overall situation, these small countries might have been destroyed by Xia, Liang and others.

The strategic buffer zone, based on such considerations, provides the soil for the survival of the alliance of countries.

"During this period, Mangshan must seize the time to mine and do a good job of protection. In addition, after the mining is completed, the mines must be filled in and not be discovered by other forces. Even if the black iron ore is discovered, the reserves cannot be exposed. "

"Li Cunxiao, this matter is handed over to you. Mangshan will temporarily serve as our training base, which can also prevent others from peeping. "

"Jia Xu, Bai Qi, Yuan Chonghuan, you will go to Lucheng with this prince tomorrow. We need to discuss carefully whether we should teach a lesson to the alliance of countries outside the Great Wall or take them down directly. "

Long Tian wanted the territory of the alliance of countries, but this alliance of small countries bordered Xia, Liang in the north, and Jin in the east.

No country had taken it all before, because they were afraid of triggering a full-scale war among the three countries. If Long Tian took this territory, he would inevitably face pressure from Jin and Liang.

Even within Xia, there would be many doubts.

To expand territory, stability is needed. If a war breaks out, many people will oppose it. This is why Xia is difficult to become truly strong.

Without the courage to move forward and burn your boats, how can you talk about being strong?

Long Tian is not afraid of war, but he also has to consider whether the situation is favorable. It is too early to judge now. Everything will be determined when we arrive in Lucheng.

After a night's rest, Long Tian, ​​Bai Qi and others led 10,000 Tianlong Guards and 100,000 Guanning Iron Cavalry to Lucheng.
