A great victory was achieved in the Battle of Wild Wolf Valley, and the enemy was retreated hundreds of miles, but it did not cause a serious blow to the Tufan army. After the army led by De Yong reorganized and recuperated in the Qingshui River area, reinforcements of 150,000 troops were transferred from the northern region.

With 400,000 soldiers, they attacked Wuling Prefecture again. It was difficult for Dafeng's army to resist, so they had to shrink back to the city of Wuling Prefecture and hold on to the danger. At the same time, Pegasus reported that the imperial court should send more reinforcements.

At this time, there was an extremely lively scene in Tongyuan City in the Western Region. The exiled people who had lost their land in the Northern Region had filled the small county town to the brim. The refugees with their families packed up all the people in the county town.

All the open spaces are occupied.

Many of these refugees who escaped from the northern region originally fled to the south, but the two sides were fighting fiercely on the north-south passage, and other passages to the south were also cut off by the Dafeng Kingdom.

The soldiers did not allow the refugees to enter, saying they were afraid of getting mixed up with the locals.

A large number of refugees gathered outside the city, with no place to stay, and even some officers and soldiers who had withdrawn from the south were turned away. The crowd was excited and very dissatisfied with the imperial court, and riots and riots broke out in many places.

Later, I heard that counties in the Western Regions could accept refugees, and those refugees who fled south quickly changed their routes to the west, heading towards Tongyuan County.

Many refugees arrived in Tongyuan County only to find that it was already the territory of King Zhenxi. Originally, these people hated the incompetence of Dafeng Kingdom, which caused their families to be destroyed and displaced. In addition, Tongyuan City was very humane to the refugees and distributed relief food every day.

, it also provides free clinics and provides free carriage and horse transportation to those who are willing to go outside Xiama Pass, so refugees continue to come here.

Since the entire Western Region is vast and sparsely populated, especially the counties outside Xiamaguan, it is not a problem to accept hundreds of thousands of refugees, and these refugees are also very welcome to settle down.

Under the command of King Yuwen, Tongyuan County properly resettled the refugees and actively recruited troops. The young and middle-aged refugees among the refugees were also worried about their lack of livelihood and fled to the military camps one after another. Soon the officers and soldiers who escaped also joined the army of the Western Regions.

Zhao Jian was very busy. In just a few days, he had recruited nearly 20,000 new soldiers. If he continued, he would be able to expand the number of troops in the city to nearly 200,000 within a month or two.

Zhao Jian learned the lesson from the last time and carefully screened the new recruits. He mixed the recruited recruits with the original troops, led the new ones with the old, and trained them separately. There was a wave of military training in the city.

After the King of Zhenxi heard the news, he was afraid that Yuwen's army would rapidly develop and threaten him, so he immediately issued an order and issued preferential treatment for refugees fleeing south, welcoming the refugees to settle outside Xiama Pass, and allocating land and settlement fees.

Give heavy rewards to young men who join the army.

Driven by this policy, Xiamaguan City suddenly became very lively, the number of conscripts rose sharply, and the morale of the people and the military throughout the Western Regions was greatly boosted. However, the King of Zhenxi did not seem to be happy, and he kept talking all day long.

A worried look.

Military advisor Wang Jianyi understood the reason. One day he met with King Zhenxi and said, "My lord has been unhappy recently. Why are you worried?"

"Well, without him, I'm just worried about raising tigers and causing trouble." King Zhenxi shook his head and replied.

"If your Majesty is worried about this, I have a plan that can alleviate your worries."

"If the military advisor has any clever ideas, you might as well tell them."

"Your Majesty, you know that the war in the Central Plains is urgent now. The Tufan army of 400,000 has besieged Wulingzhou City. The imperial court has also urgently ordered several Fan kings to mobilize troops to support. Both sides have been struggling for nearly a month and are evenly matched. Now the defenses around the capital are empty.

, it is almost an isolated city. Your Majesty can take the opportunity to send troops directly to the capital, forcing the current emperor to give way to the orthodox prince Shizheng of the Wu family, and then the world can return to its heart."

"It's easy to say that. Did you know that the 500,000 imperial troops in the capital have not been mobilized, so how can you say that the defense is empty?"

"What the king said is absolutely true. However, the five hundred thousand forbidden troops have been guarding the capital for a long time. They are pampered and are not good at fighting. There is nothing to be afraid of. From now on, with a little time off, it should not be a problem for the king and King Yuwen to jointly raise an army of five hundred thousand troops.

At that time, please ask King Yuwen to lead his troops as the vanguard. The king will suppress the rear and approach the capital. If it succeeds, the king's ambition of abolishing the concubine and establishing a direct descendant can be fulfilled. If it fails, the king can still retreat to the Western Regions to protect himself. But King Yuwen must

You will suffer heavy losses, so let's forget about the troubles in your heart." After Wang Jian finished speaking, he shook his head proudly.

After King Zhenxi heard what he said, he thought for a long time, then he raised a thumb to the military advisor and said, "This is a great plan, but do you think he will agree to march to the capital?"

"If he refuses to send troops, the king can also mobilize all the troops in Tongyuan City and let Mr. Chu serve as the vanguard. King Yuwen can't and won't let the king send troops, right? Doesn't this take away King Yuwen's military power?

."

"What you said is absolutely true. If so, I think I will help you personally go to Tongyuan City tomorrow to persuade King Yuwen and I to march to the capital together and force the palace to depose the emperor." After saying this, King Zhenxi slapped the case with a heavy palm.

On the stage, he seemed to feel relieved for a moment, and his brows suddenly relaxed.

The next day, military advisor Wang Jianyi led a dozen followers and headed straight for Tongyuan City in light chariots and fast horses.

When we were approaching Tongyuan City, we heard the sound of military trumpets and the beating of military drums in the distance. We saw flags waving outside Tongyuan City and crowds surging, as if there was an army gathering.

It turned out that King Yuwen was gathering troops outside Tongyuan City. Nearly 200,000 troops were arranged neatly under the city, with well-organized distribution, uniform actions, high morale, and a dignified military style.

After receiving the report from the messenger, King Yuwen and the general soldiers of Chu personally came to the front of the formation to meet Mr. Wang.

"May I ask what happened that alarmed Mr. Wang's new arrival in our city? Do you have any advice?" King Yuwen asked, riding on his horse and raising his hands.

Wang Jianyi had already got off the carriage, walked quickly forward, bowed and said: "I don't dare. I am just entrusted by King Zhenxi to come here to discuss important matters with King Yuwen."

"Ha, ha..." King Yuwen laughed heartily and said: "I have accepted the intention of the King of Zhenxi. You see, I am gathering the troops and will send troops soon. I wonder if I am correct in guessing the King's intention?"

"King Yuwen has a great opinion. It's true that heroes have the same vision. This is exactly what the king means and the purpose of my trip. Unexpectedly, it has been understood by the king a long time ago, and I have no choice but to obey."

"Fortunately, this move is in line with the king's plan. We feel honored and doubly confident. We will definitely make great achievements here, but please report back to the king and wait for the good news." After King Yuwen finished speaking, he turned the horse's head and faced Wang Jianyi.

He waved his hand and said: "Soldiers need to be quick. The time has come. We will send out troops immediately. I will not send you off. Sir Wang, please come back."

Before the king's military advisor could answer, King Yuwen led the general soldiers of Chu and other people to ride their horses back to the camp and drove away. Only Wang Jian and his party were left behind. Wang Jian had to swallow what he had to say.

Inside, the group of people headed back home angrily.
