After being defeated and retreating outside the border in the change of Jisi, Houjin's life has been difficult.

On the one hand, the Ming Dynasty tightened trade restrictions, completely stopped all trade with Houjin, and basically stopped trade with the Mongolian tribes, whether it was grain, ironware, or minerals, they were not allowed to be shipped out of the customs - anyway, everyone has already torn their faces, and they are not afraid that you will be happy or not!

On the other hand, due to a series of policies of discrimination and even massacre of Han Chinese people implemented by Nurhachi in his later years, the food and economic crisis caused by it intensified in Houjin. Although Huang Taiji, under the advice of Fan Wencheng, has implemented a series of policies to appease the Han people and increase grain production, the results are not so fast.

Huang Taiji, who had not long ascended the throne of Khan, was strongly questioned by the Houjin nobles because of the unfavorable southern expedition and domestic crises everywhere. In particular, the three Baylor groups led by Dai Shan have frequently attacked Huang Taiji. By now, it is difficult for Huang Taiji's order to take effect without the co-signature of the other three Baylors. Later Jin, basically returned to the era of the four major Baylors discussing national politics.

In this process, Fan Wencheng has always been firmly on the side of Huang Taiji, constantly giving advice, determined to help him regain the power of the monarch.

Now that the Central Plains Demon Sect has rebelled, both of them are ecstatic.

In Shengjing's imperial study, the two chatted secretly all morning.

The point of the secret chat is not whether to send troops south, but how to send troops south.

Huang Taiji was worried that Houjin had just experienced a big defeat, and at this time, the conservative Dai Shan might oppose going south to attack Ming. Dai Shan is the big Baylor, if he opposes this matter, there will be no drama for so long.

Dai Shan did have reason to oppose Attack Ming. Because there is a shortage of money and food now, it simply cannot withstand a large-scale battle. Moreover, at present, there are only about 180,000 remaining in the main force of the Houjin country, and they still have to defend a large area of territory, so how many people can really be pulled out to fight? If they lose again this time, the Houjin will not be able to recover their vitality within at least 10 years, and it will be easy for the Ming State to counterattack Liaodong at that time. Jisi's fiasco is still in sight, and Dai Shan naturally will not agree to Huang Taiji gambling on Dajin Guoyun to go south.

However, Fan Wencheng was dismissive of this, and confidently said that he had a way!

Huang Taiji humbly asked for advice, and Fan Wencheng told the clever plan, which attracted Huang Taiji to praise him again and again!

In Shengjing, the undercurrent is surging. Huang Taiji, who was about to move, began to follow Fan Wencheng's plan, step by step, leading Houjin into a war that would determine the fortunes of Houjin Guo.

Tongzhou, the helmsman of the Jianghe Gang.

The whole training of the various martial arts factions has ended! Now that the spiritual outlook of the disciples of the various factions has changed greatly, if nothing else, at least the concept of "ordering and prohibiting" has been cultivated in the army. In addition, several simple formations have also been mastered more proficiently.

According to Qin Shuhuai's request, the last step was to lay off the entire army. Of the 180,000 thousand, he only needs half. The principle is, of course, to admit the best, and those who are high, obey orders, and perform actively during training will stay, and those who are relatively poor will be returned.

Almost all the people in the Jianghe Gang led troops at the grassroots level, so whoever could do it and who couldn't did it was clear, and they quickly reported their respective lists.

Early the next morning, the order for disarmament was issued, and half of the 180,000 men were laid off, and almost all of the sects were thrown back, shocking everyone.

The man who was laid off was given three taels of silver as a consolation. Many disciples of small sects have not received an allowance for a long time, and if they get three taels at once, they have no grievances.

However, these layoffs have also been carefully put on the file, they are reserves, and if there are not enough soldiers, they will be given priority at that time.

The remaining 100,000 people, relatively speaking, are elite soldiers - there is not a single old and weak soldier, and the level of physical fitness and cultivation is much higher than the level of the official army.

In the afternoon of the same day, Qin Shuhuai gave Chongzhen a recital, there were no impassioned words in the recital, and after the formatted recital phrase, there was only a simple line of words, "The minister will lead the troops into Gan at the beginning of May to clear the rebellion of the demon sect!"

Chongzhen was ecstatic!

On the first day of the fifth month, in the open space three miles outside Qingwu Town, nearly 100,000 troops were assembled.

Qin Shuhuai took away half of the Jianghe Gang this time, including the three cottage Five Elements Banner, the Qinglong Hall, the White Tiger Hall and the Law Enforcement Hall. The rest of the gang stayed at the helm and was responsible for logistics and other work, which was still managed by Qiu Dali.

In terms of personnel, Meng Wei, Meng Hu, Lai San'er, Pi Gou, Zhang Xiao, and Chen Jing all went on the expedition.

As for the martial arts alliance, at the sincere invitation of Qin Shuhuai, Wang Datong, the leader of the beggar gang, Shangshui Shitai, the head of Emei, and Tang Sanniang, the head of the Tang Sect, all went out with the army as the masters of a faction. In addition, other sects also sent people with high status in the sect, such as Ma Sansao, the deputy leader of the Cao Gang, Zhiren, a senior monk of Shaolin, the second saint of Kongtong faction, and Shi Shiming, the great elder of Huashan faction, all of whom also went out with the army.

The lineup is not luxurious, so much so that Qin Shuhuai is looking forward to what sparks these masters with their own abilities can encounter!

The words of chicken blood have been said countless times during the whole training, so there is no need to repeat it at this moment.

100,000 horses, orderly, slaughtered and silent.

In May, it's not so cold anymore. The warm wind blew across his face, and he was extremely comfortable.

At one o'clock in the afternoon, the auspicious time has arrived.

Qin Shuhuai pulled out the Heavenly Sword, waved it to the west, and shouted, "Order, go!"

"Knock knock!"

"Buzz!" the thick horn murmured!

The army of 100,000 set off in an orderly manner, and the team was too long to see the edge!

The army traveled quickly, and after arriving in Tongzhou, he suddenly saw a large group of people on the official road. The centaurs were divided into two parts, one wearing brown shirts and the other wearing flying fish suits.

Among the team, there are many banners, some of them write "Governor of Qincha Dongchang Office Eunuch", and some of them "Jinyi Wei Commander Tongzhi".

It seems that the people from Dongchang and Jinyiwei have also arrived.

Flying in the distance, he rushed to Qin Shuhuai and bowed to him before and after, "Hou Ye Qin, the Duke of Cao Du of Dongchang led five thousand sons, waiting for Hou Ye." In addition, Jinyiwei commanded Tongzhi Wanyun Mountain to bring 5,000 Jinyiwei to wait for the Hou Ye. ”

Qin Shuhuai immediately urged him to step forward, only to see two people coming over on the other side, one was Cao Huachun, and the other was a white man, presumably it was Jinyiwei who commanded Tongzhi Wanyun Mountain.

Cao Huachun arched his hand at Qin Shuhuai, and said sharply, "Hou Ye Qin, our family brought Dongchang to defect to Hou Ye, these five thousand Dongchang fans, including our family, but at the disposal of Hou Ye!"

Wan Yunshan also clenched his fists and said, "Hou Ye Qin, under the command of the Jinyi Guard, he knows Wanyun Mountain, and brings five thousand Jinyi Wei brothers, I am willing to go to the battlefield with Hou Ye, and let Hou Ye dispatch!"

Qin Shuhuai returned the salute to the two of them, "Thank you Cao Dugong and Wan Tongzhi for their righteous help!

"Great, our family will work with Marquis Qin and fellow martial artists to fight the same enemy and kill the demon thieves!" Cao Huachun said.

The martial arts heroes present were all disdainful of Cao Huachun's words, and they all thought to themselves, who is the same as you?

After a simple greeting, the 10,000 horses of the factory guard immediately entered the ranks. Li Jingting was also in the team of Jinyiwei, and when he was in the ranks, he just exchanged glances with Qin Shuhuai, and with the friendship between the two, there was no need to make more scenes.

The army rushed to Lanzhou.
