In Anyang, the people were furious. When they heard that other local governments had united and even joined forces with Jin to attack Anyang, the people of Anyang were not happy. Especially the merchants, who were more active than anyone else. Before Li Xian even opened his mouth, they spontaneously organized the caravan guards. They pieced together an army of 200,000 people!
Zhang Xianzhang, the owner of Pengcheng Wanli Civil Technology Group and the son of Zhang Yunhai, the original owner of Pengcheng Wanli Trading Company, was nominated by the businessmen as a representative to meet Li Xian.
Looking at Li Xian, who seemed younger than himself, Zhang Xianzhang was very respectful and even had some admiration for him: "Your Highness, although our 200,000 people are gathered here and there, at least we are united. We dare not say that we can compare with the enemy's elite, but at least we are much better than those ragtag troops. Please allow us to go to the front line and stop the enemy together!"
Li Xian looked at Zhang Xianzhang, then at the dozen or so enthusiastic businessmen behind him, and smiled with satisfaction, "I understand your good intentions. But war is a military matter. But since you are willing to contribute to Anyang, I can't refuse. Logistics, wounded rescue, material transportation, etc., will be left to you. Don't worry, this attack is all within expectations. There won't be any problems."
After hearing what Li Xian said, the merchants finally breathed a sigh of relief. Now these merchants are also worried about what they will do if Anyang is captured. It is probably difficult to find another Anyang in the world to develop business.
After the merchant left, Li Xian looked at the information in his hand:
Dongyuan County claimed to have sent out 200,000 troops, but in reality, it had more than 110,000, and the rest were civilians. However, after entering Luliang County, these soldiers began to dawdle and did not want to go north. It seemed that Dongyuan County’s goal was not to attack Anyang, but to completely occupy Luliang County.
Guangling County swore that it would not betray its allies, but only sent out 10,000 soldiers to form a temporary alliance with Songzhou County, claiming that a total of 150,000 troops were dispatched. The two armies dispatched troops quickly, but when they reached the Anyang border, they also stationed themselves and did not move an inch.
Nanyang County was the most active, claiming to have sent out 300,000 troops.
The northern prince's side claimed to have sent out 300,000 troops and prepared to attack Kaiping County from the north.
As for the Crown Prince and the Second Prince Xia Shu, they have disappeared. Although Xia Shu is the emperor in Wuyang City, no one cares about him. Wuyang City is now very dilapidated, with only poor people and beggars left. In other words, in this struggle for separatist power, Xia Shu was the first to be eliminated.
Looking at the map, Li Xian's fingers slid slowly:
1. According to the plan, my father has ascended the throne at noon today and established the title of emperor, "Emperor Wu" - which sounds like "invincible". In short, Anyang does not need to pay any attention to the attack of the northern prince.
2. The fundamental purpose of the Dongyuan County and Yuan family's troops is to occupy Luliang County. Before Anyang shows obvious signs of defeat, Guangling County may remain inactive. It is not ruled out that Dongyuan County will "openly repair the plank road to Chencang in secret", so just be cautious in defense.
If necessary, we can send new planes to bomb the capital of Dongyuan County and Quwo. Let them focus on the front and not the rear! The war situation has changed!
3. The Wang family, Gao Bin, Guangling County and Songzhou County cooperated with each other and were also tied to each other. Now they are hesitating to move forward and want to reap the benefits.
