Chapter 350 The two countries were destroyed

Yuanchuan.

After being besieged by Helian Bobo for several months, the capital of the Western Qin Dynasty was finally captured. The gold and silver belongings were transported to Tongwan City by Helian Bobo, and the residents were also moved away by Helian Bobo.

Qifu Chipan, the leader of the Western Qin Kingdom, could be regarded as a wise leader, but he was still not good enough in front of Helian Bobo's size, and he was defeated and died in the end.

"Capture Western Qin and unify the northwest. Then we will have the power to fight against Liu Song!"

Helian Bobo was in a good mood at this time.

First, he annexed the army of Dadan Khan, and now he defeated the Western Qin Dynasty. Hu Xia's combat power expanded rapidly!

As long as these resources can be digested smoothly, Hu Xia's military power will reach a whole new level!

If we can capture Guanzhong by then and the previous Qin power sweeps across the north, we will surely be able to forge the foundation of the Xiongnu for all generations!

Just when Helianbobo was thinking about when he could attack Liu Song, a secret report was quietly delivered to him.

Seeing this, Helian Bobo's original good mood was instantly cast into a cloud.

"The Tuoba clan sent their maid to secretly go to the Arms Supervisor to find out the news, and learned that Liu Song is now developing armored cavalry!"

There are also some details that are 90% true and 10% false, which are also written in the letter, adding a lot of authenticity.

"The Emperor of the Song Dynasty was furious when he heard about it and executed the maid Ling Chi. He also dismissed all the maids around Tuoba and killed her, and ordered his own people to put Tuoba under house arrest."

"Moreover, there are countless officials affected by this incident. Even Fu Hongzhi, the majestic general of Zhenxi, was stripped of his general title..."

Just reading the letter, it seems that Liu Song Chaotang experienced a huge storm. The Emperor Liu Song was furious when the secret was leaked, and vented his anger on the people around him.

"It's more than that."

There was also another intelligence officer from Helianbobo who told him another piece of news——

"Emperor Liu Song seems to be using domestic iron mines and weapons, so the output of weapons smuggled to Hu Xia this time is not even one-third of the last time!"

After receiving several pieces of information, Helian Bobo had roughly confirmed the accuracy of the information.

"Tuoba Tao, I really have to thank that little guy."

"Armored cavalry..."

Helian Bobo kept chanting these four words in his mouth, and his brows gradually knitted together.

He understands the power of armored cavalry very well!

Because he has seen it!

When the former Qin Dynasty was at its peak, there was an army of armored cavalry that was invincible in every battle.

A small number of them were brought to the Western Regions by Lu Guang, the former Qin general at the time. In the Battle of Qiuci, they smashed the Yuhu forces at that time and re-incorporated the Western Regions into the rule of the Central Plains forces.

Most of them were obtained by the Later Qin who inherited the legacy of the Former Qin, and the Later Qin also took advantage of it to march to the northwest, forming a situation in which the three kingdoms of the Northern Wei and the Eastern Jin were in conflict.

At that time, Helianbobo was still serving in the Later Qin State, and the heavy armored cavalry left an indelible impression on him!

I thought that with the death of Hou Qin, this nightmarish army would not appear again.

Unexpectedly, Liu Song actually had plans to resurrect this invincible army!

"No! Absolutely not!"

In front of the armored cavalry, in front of the crushing iron hooves, all defenses are in vain!

"We also want to get armored cavalry!"

Helian Bobo made this decision after careful consideration.

"Cavalry is our foundation. If the Han people in the south can easily get rid of our cavalry, then we will have no advantage over them!"

The Hu people outside the Great Wall were able to suppress the Central Plains Dynasty all the time because of the military advantage of the cavalry.

If this advantage is gone, how can Hu Xia compare with Liu Song?

Therefore, Hu Xia must engage in armored cavalry!

Even better than Liu Song!

"Help me contact Chigan Ali and gather all the craftsmen! Gather all the steel! Gather the extra weapons as well!"

"Liu Yizhen really wants to break our advantage in cavalry? Humph! Dreaming!"

Hu Xia's various actions were also spied on by Liu Song and the Northern Wei Dynasty.

Liu Yizhen knew that the latter was hiding in Liangyi Hall and rolling on the floor laughing, but Tuoba Tao was facing the same dilemma as Helian Bobo.

After Tuoba Tao divided Rou with Hu Xia, he then followed Cui Hao's plan to attack Northern Yan eastward, hoping that the power of the Northern Wei would expand.

On the way to attack Beiyan, Tuoba Tao's demonic military talent gradually emerged.

He first marched to Rushui, and then asked Xi Jin to recruit more than 10,000 people from the Dingling tribe in Miyun, transport their offensive equipment, go out of the south road, and meet at Longcheng, the capital of Yan.

During this period, Li Chong, the governor of Shicheng County in Northern Yan, and other ten counties surrendered to the Northern Wei Dynasty.

Later, Tuoba Tao sent more than 30,000 people to dig trenches to trap the Yan capital.

Feng Hong, the leader of the Northern Yan Kingdom, sent tens of thousands of people out of the city, but they were all killed by the generals of the Northern Wei Dynasty, and tens of thousands fled.

Gao Shao, Shangshu of the Northern Yan Dynasty, led more than 10,000 families to protect the Qiang and Hu Gu. Tuoba Tao defeated Longcheng and killed them.

After that, a series of important towns in Northern Yan, such as Daifang, Jiande, and Jiyang, were all captured, which also marked the complete death of Northern Yan at the hands of Tuoba Tao.

Since then, after losing Hebei, the Northern Wei Dynasty finally expanded its territory again, occupying the six counties of Yingqiu, Chengzhou, Liaodong, Lelang, Daifang, and Xuantu, and gained 100,000 people.

Cui Hao suggested that Tuoba Tao rest and recuperate in preparation for the subsequent counterattack in Hebei. Tuoba Tao, however, always followed suit and was willing to stop his troops.

But after receiving the news from Hu Xia and Liu Song, Tuoba Tao could no longer sit still.

"Father!"

"Armored cavalry! Our country must also engage in it!"

This made Cui Hao, who was in charge of the people's livelihood logistics in the Northern Wei Dynasty, look embarrassed on his face, and dissuaded him: "The formation of this armored cavalry consumes a lot of money and food. Now, although the country has annexed Beiyan and occupied a large amount of land in the east due to your inability, Your Majesty,

, but it is still impossible to come up with enough money to form a cavalry."

"Instead of spending money on armored cavalry, it is better to reward the soldiers well so that they will feel grateful to His Majesty; to be kind to the scholars so that they will be loyal to Your Majesty; to encourage the people so that they will respect Your Majesty. That's it.

, even without equipped cavalry, we can still make the Wei Dynasty in an invincible position!"

Cui Hao thought he could persuade Tuoba Tao, but Tuoba Tao became swollen after personally commanding the destruction of Beiyan, and gained the confidence to refute Cui Hao.

"What the father said is different!"

"Although my father-in-law is talented in the world, he has no military skills!"

"War relies on faster horses, more soldiers, and stronger weapons!"

"You can't defeat the enemy just by talking about benevolence, righteousness and morality!"

"When Liu Song has armored cavalry, he will be able to easily tear apart our army's line and attack me. Can I still rely on benevolence to prevent Liu Song's soldiers from killing me?"

Seeing that Cui Hao wanted to persuade him again, Tuoba Tao became a little impatient, and his hidden violent heart began to beat slowly.

"Is this the Emperor of Wei really me? Or is he my father-in-law?"

Cui Hao was silent for a long time after hearing this, but finally bowed his head to Tuoba Tao.
